Using Ye Xi's feathers to establish communication is the method of conveying instructions that the Institute of Biological Sciences has come up with.
However, the disadvantage of using this method to establish communication is that you must be in an absolutely safe state during the contact period, because once you are in Ye Xi's illusion, it is difficult to feel what is happening in the outside world.
Still in that pitch-black space, Ye Xi stood there, looking at Chen Cheng quietly.
"How are Huihui and the others now?" Chen Cheng asked as soon as they met.
"You're doing well, but they missed you a little after just one day away and are very worried about your situation. However, they didn't contact you for fear of disturbing your mission." Ye Xi replied.
While conveying the news on behalf of the Institute of Biological Sciences, Ye Xi was also responsible for informing Lin Yuhui and the others of Shen Cheng's situation.
It can be seen that the Institute of Biological Sciences has enough trust in Ye Xi. After all, the task of conveying information is also very important. As long as there is a slight error in the information conveyed by Ye Xi, Shen Cheng may face a catastrophe.
Shen Cheng nodded: "Tell them that I am doing well now, don't worry, I should be able to go back after a while."
"Okay." Ye Xi agreed and then asked, "By the way, Liu Su hasn't told you about your partner for this mission, right?"
Shen Cheng was slightly stunned when he heard this: "Partner?"
"It seems so." Ye Xi shrugged and said, "The Institute of Biological Sciences has arranged a partner for you on this mission. After all, considering your lack of experience, you need someone to fill in your gaps."
Ye Xi smiled faintly and said, "Come to think of it, the partner assigned to you by the Institute of Biological Sciences is someone you know."
"An acquaintance?" After a long pause, Shen Cheng finally reacted. At the same time, a figure flashed through his mind, and he subconsciously said, "Liu Yingxia?!"
"It seems you've already met." Ye Xi said with a smile, "I heard she's your ex-girlfriend. However, I haven't told Hui Hui and the others about this. You two should just focus on the mission."
Shen Cheng nodded blankly.
"That's all I have to tell you. This time I'm mainly trying to contact you." Ye Xi said seriously, "Remember, you must keep the feather I gave you safe. This is the only way we can contact you. Also, when you are in Hong Country, you must remember to keep a low profile and don't let your emotions get in the way!"
"I understand." Shen Cheng nodded.
Then, Ye Xi waved his hand and the entire illusion disappeared.
…
Late at night, on the deck of the passenger ship.
Two security guards came onto the deck and shivered in unison in the cold sea breeze.
"It's quite cold today." A security guard who looked younger laughed.
"Xiao Liu, pay attention to your surroundings," the older security officer said sternly. "We've had a lot of thefts on our ferry lately. Although the losses aren't significant, many passengers have expressed their dissatisfaction."
Because of this incident, the security personnel had a lot of their salaries deducted.
The higher-ups checked the passenger list repeatedly and found that the passenger who had been present several times during the repeated thefts was not there.
Moreover, when checking the surveillance footage, we found that the nighttime surveillance footage had inexplicably disappeared for a while, which was a real headache.
Finally, the top management came to three conclusions: theft by an insider, theft by a gang, and theft by an outsider.
Theft by outsiders means that the theft was committed by people outside the cruise ship. It sounds a bit far-fetched. After all, the thefts on the cruise ship all happened on the sea, and the cruise ship never noticed any ship approaching during the period.
Could it have swam here?
Although the higher-ups were somewhat skeptical of this conclusion, their security personnel believed it very much.
After all, they all knew each other well, and no one had ever stolen guests' property.
And he only stole so little each time. Is he crazy? He probably stole less than two months' salary after half a year. Who would want to do this to ruin their job?
What's more, they heard from security personnel that there would be a pile of water stains on the floor of the cabin of every passenger whose property had been stolen.
Gradually, a rumor spread among their security group: a group of pirates had their shipwrecked in this sea area, and every time a passenger ship passed through this sea area, the ghosts of those pirates would climb onto the passenger ship and steal the passengers' belongings.
This rumor made them panic.
"Okay, Brother Wang." Xiao Liu was also a little scared, but he still went up to the deck to check if there was anything abnormal under the passenger ship. Lao Wang was responsible for guarding the entrance.
Lao Wang didn't feel nervous at all. After all, he had experienced many ups and downs and had seen everything.
Xiao Liu was looking under the boat when suddenly a dark shadow slammed into it with a loud bang. Xiao Liu jumped in shock and his already frozen face turned even paler. "Wang...Brother Wang! Come quickly!"
"Kid, what's wrong with you again?" Hearing Xiao Liu's tone, Lao Wang hurried forward.
When Lao Wang left the entrance, three black shadows suddenly climbed onto the deck from the edge and slipped into the entrance.
"Hehe, this time they have finally learned their lesson and even know how to guard the door." After entering the entrance, the leader sneered. It was a cold female voice.
Each of the three men was wearing a tattered black cloak with the hood covering his head tightly, except for the bulge on the back.
"Big sister, please don't do this kind of thing anymore. Stealing those things is of little use to us..." The shortest person spoke, her voice a little timid, with a hint of crying.
"Xiaotun, if you can't stand it, you'd better go back first. I want to follow the big sister." The tallest figure said lightly. The voice was also female, but a little fierce.
The short figure shook his head repeatedly: "I...I'll follow the big sister!"
"Alright." The leader waved his hand and said, "Xiaotun, prepare the sound waves."
"Yes." The short figure nodded, and then with a thought, all the surveillance cameras around them stopped under the influence of her sound waves. If you look from the monitoring room, you will find that time has stopped, but there is nothing abnormal on the screen.
The three men then acted quickly, randomly selecting two cabins they had never robbed before. The leader said, "Just like usual, I'll steal this one, and you guys go steal that one."
And what she was pointing to happened to be Shen Cheng and Liu Yingxia's room.
Then the group split up and the leader came to Shen Cheng's room, took out a rusty wire, and started poking at the keyhole.
Although the movements were a bit messy, the sound was extremely small.
A moment later, with a click, the door lock was unlocked. She chuckled, pushed the door open, and walked in quietly.
