Tu Ran was speechless.
It's already hard to tell which one is human and which one is an alien, and this guy actually wants them to find the snake king? !
This is just asking too much.
She originally wanted to throw a bomb into the snake's nest. Anyway, the alien species reproduced so quickly this time. Two nights were enough for them to infect all the humans in the farm. Instead of sending people in to investigate and expand the scope of infection, it would be much easier to just blow it up directly.
Tu Ran muttered in her heart, "If you can catch me, just do it! You are not the captain of our team, why should I listen to you?"
"Why, do you have any other opinions?" Xie Xu suddenly spoke in a cold voice.
Tu Ran pulled the corner of her lips calmly: "Nothing, it's just... I need to consult Captain Li Wenchuan."
"No need for that," Xie Xu leaned back in his chair, one hand on the table, fiddling with the goblet with elegant movements, "I am the top person in charge of this pioneer team's 100-man operation in Leijiaken State, and Li Wenchuan is my subordinate. Just follow my orders."
Tu Ran: “…”
"Okay," she said faintly, "Does Xie Institute have any other instructions?"
He was leaving without her! She didn't want to see him again!
After hearing her words, Xie Xu was silent. He neither said "yes" nor "no". His two dark blue eyes stared at Tu Ran, as if he wanted to see through her body and soul.
Tu Ran didn't understand why and her heart beat faster unconsciously. She actually wanted to escape from this place, away from Xie Xu's eyes that were examining everything. But she couldn't. She could only pretend to be calm and look at him, waiting for his next instructions.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Xie Xu said softly, "You are not Tu Ran."
Tu Ran's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The fingers placed under the table were also clenched tightly together.
"This joke is not funny." Tu Ran tried hard to calm herself down and put on her signature warm smile.
Xie Xu was unmoved, "You know in your heart that I am not joking."
Tu Ran gritted her teeth. She really didn't know where she had exposed herself.
If the original body knew Xie Xu...but they were just talking about work and did not touch on privacy.
"You are too cold," Xie Xu stared at her closely, his eyes so blue that they were terrifying. "If it was Tu Ran, she would never ask, 'Is there any need to investigate Kenny Egan's farm?' She would never leave Kenny Egan's farm on such a crisis-ridden night."
Xie Xu's voice was calm, as if he was stating a fact.
Tu Ran sneered in her heart. The original body would not leave because she had enough confidence to survive this night safely. But she couldn't. She was a modern person who grew up in a peaceful era. She couldn't even use a gun and didn't even dare to watch horror movies. Now she was left in the snake cave without any ability to protect herself. She was not stupid! Everyone knows the principle of seeking benefits and avoiding harm.
Tu Ran felt unexpectedly calm. Since the other party already knew, there was no point in pretending any longer. She looked around leisurely. There were many people coming and going, and cameras were everywhere. Their conversation could be easily captured by artificial intelligence.
"I think we can talk about this somewhere else."
"What? Do you want to kill someone to silence him?" Xie Xu asked back.
Upon hearing this, Tu Ran crossed her arms across her chest, leaned back in her chair, and crossed her legs. She lost all her previous respectfulness and snorted coldly, "Since you can guess that I'm not Tu Ran, you must have guessed that I'm not capable enough."
Tu Ran has already felt like giving up everything, just die! I'm fed up!
Destroy it!!
Let's kill her with a bomb! No, let's kill her and the man in front of her with a bomb! Looking at her series of arrogant actions, Xie Xu frowned tightly.
The original body must have never made such a gesture in front of him, so he showed such a shit-eating expression. "I need to emphasize that I am still Tu Ran, but I just lost my memory. I am not possessed by an alien."
Tu Ran struggled a little.
"Last time in the Threshold, I saw with my own eyes that you hit your head on a boulder. For the next seven minutes, you didn't move at all, and your holographic bracelet kept flashing red." Xie Xu paused, "You probably don't know what the flashing red light on the holographic bracelet means."
Tu Ran said nothing, waiting quietly for him to continue. Her intuition told her that the excuse of amnesia would also be exposed.
"The holographic bracelet has a built-in life detection system that does not require an internet connection. When it detects a lifeless state, the red light will flash, and you will be in a lifeless state for seven minutes. After seven minutes, you wake up, and not only wake up, but your body movements are not affected at all."
So this guy was there the whole time. When he saw her faint, he not only didn't try to do CPR or artificial respiration, but he just waited there to see when she would die, and even watched the Gu Eagle peck at her internal organs!
This guy! So bad! "Who are you?" Xie Xu stared into her eyes, not missing a single expression on her face.
However, Tu Ran keenly grasped the key point of his words.
"people"
He asked who she was, which showed that she had escaped the suspicion of being an alien.
This is big progress.
"Well... I think we can talk for a moment." She still had the communicator in her hand, and she was worried that what she said would be heard by the artificial intelligence.
"I have already activated the shielding system. Zero cannot monitor our conversation for the time being." Xie Xu saw her doubts and spoke.
Zero? Who?
Tu Ran didn't react for a moment.
Xie Xu took a deep breath and said, "Zero is the main artificial intelligence system used by the Federation to assist the federal government in managing the affairs of the forty-two states."
Tu Ran nodded. So that's it.
What made her even more excited was that Zero could actually be blocked.
She really needed this device.
"Tell me, who are you?" Xie Xu urged.
Tu Ran organized her words and asked, "Um... do you believe that there are souls in the world?"
Xie Xu narrowed his eyes, "What do you want to say?"
"Uh... I want to say that I am a soul from another world, and I came to Tu Ran's body by chance."
After that, Tu Ran stared at Xie Xu eagerly. "Do you understand? Do you have any questions? If you have any questions, just ask them. I will definitely give you a clear answer. After all, this is not an easy thing to accept."
"Which world are you from? What is your world like?"
Xie Xu's voice was unusually calm.
Tu Ran: This reaction is different from what she imagined. Why is he so calm?
And judging from the way he asked and the tone of his voice, it seemed that he had seen a lot of such things.
