More than two days had passed since the cenotaphs for Uncle Marlo and Mother were built in the cemetery.

Ai Xin said goodbye to Gosla and Uncle Malo's many friends.

Everyone returned to their respective work.

The only one left with her was Raven 114514.

She tried hard to look forward.

Ai Xin originally planned to follow the arrangement of Raven 114514 and start contributing to Everday and all mankind as a peripheral member, and before that he would study systematically.

Because she was not a student enrolled in Dawn College, she could not go directly to Dawn College to study.

So she was assigned to the Everday base that Malo had been in charge of in the western region, and as an external member she became familiar with some basic clerical work of Everday.

In the future, I will have the opportunity to learn some spiritual power-related knowledge regularly, and strive to get the opportunity to be recommended in the third recruitment of Dawn Academy.

But he had just stayed in the Everday Base where Malo had worked for a short time.

A mission that mobilized most of the Everday members in the western region was suddenly released.

Because of the irregular failure of the Secret Realm Gate, a census will be conducted across the entire western region to find out the reasons for the failure of the Secret Realm Gate.

In addition to the Eternal Day members stationed in the western region, this operation was also joined by members of the rapid reaction force and the lunar scientific research division.

The rapid reaction force is responsible for responding to any emergencies, and the lunar scientific research division serves as a technical staff to study the possible causes of the failure of the secret gate.

We strive to check thoroughly in geography, humanities and other aspects, and we will carefully get to the bottom of any suspicious points.

Ai Xin, who was not in charge of the aftermath of the wind and sand barrier, resolutely chose to participate in this mission.

She even took the initiative to apply for an investigation in PL County. She dared to return to the place that was full of nightmares for her.

However, Yong Zhou took her special situation into consideration and took into account humanitarian concerns.

In the end, she was not assigned to the southern part of PL County for investigation, but was assigned to the northern part of PL County.

It neither refutes the enthusiasm of Aixin members nor takes into account their possible emotions.

Ai Xin chose to accept this arrangement.

She felt a little disappointed, but at the same time she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she wanted to get over it, the fact is that it has only been a few days and she can't say that she has completely gotten over it.

So after the order was issued, she arrived at the northern part of PL County, where she was responsible, early according to the organization's arrangements.

Waiting for teammates to join up.

Baga Township is the area that Ai Xin is responsible for.

After following several colleagues' cars to Baga Township, the colleagues drove to other areas they were responsible for, while she quietly found a place to sit down in a bungalow area and began to wait.

This small village with only a few houses is a must-go place to go to Purang, Shiquan River and Shenshan.

There is only one Tibetan teahouse in the village. The most expensive food they serve is instant noodles and sausages. There is a very broken billiard table at the door.

The bright sunshine is shining.

Time passes by little by little.

There is a faint floral scent in the air, that is the scent of Banjiemei flowers.

They are small and tender, and can only bloom in extremely natural and unpolluted places.

Watching this beautiful scenery.

Ai Xin's heart was filled with confusion from time to time.

I said I had moved on, but just a few days later, I still felt a ripple in my heart from time to time.

Not long after, Ai Xin looked into the distance.

On that empty road and field, it seemed that two people were walking slowly towards them.

From a distance, one of them was a thin and quiet girl, and the other was a tall and burly man.

The raven 114514 on Aixin's shoulder spoke at this moment: "That's Drif from the Lunar Research Division and a newcomer who needs to be tempered."

Hearing this, Ai Xin nodded.

She was about to stand up from her seat, but she saw the tall and burly man grab the girl next to him by the shoulder, then took a step forward and instantly came in front of Ai Xin.

A whistling wind blew in my face.

This stunned Ai Xin, who had just stood up.

"Hello, I'm Ai Xin."

"Please give me more advice in the future."

Holding down her hair that was blown by the wind, Ai Xin immediately stretched out her hand to the burly man in front of her.

Although she inherited Uncle Marlowe's number and raven companionship, she is essentially a newcomer rather than an old member.

So she naturally planned to be more polite.

"Hi, my name is Drif."

The tall and strong Drif smiled.

At this moment, he no longer looked like a dwarf, but had become an ordinary man over two meters tall.

This time, his task is not only to find out the reason why the secret realm door failed, but also to be responsible for guiding these two special newbies.

One of them has a very special perception ability, and the other is a genuine member of the Yongzhou martyrs' family.

While the two men were shaking hands, Liu Xinyue, the thin woman who came with Drif, was leaning over the table with her head down and retching.

Seeing this, Ai Xin looked over subconsciously.

"What happened to her?"

Ai Xin was subconsciously confused.

The organization has assigned me a... sickly teammate?

Although she knew that she was able to participate in the mission more because of Yongri's humanitarian care policy, there was a policy to meet her needs as a family member of a martyr as much as possible.

The tasks assigned to them by the organization are likely to be just for the sake of getting by, or they may be responsible for less important areas.

but……

You wouldn't give her a sickly teammate, would you? "She has strong abilities, but she doesn't use them well enough."

"She was trained for a whole day yesterday. Not only was a lot of knowledge instilled into her head, but she was also led by the Minister of Internal Affairs to do a last-minute high-intensity training."

Derev looked at Liu Xinyue with some amusement as she was retching but couldn't vomit anything.

There is no doubt that Liu Xinyue's ability is powerful.

After some simple tests, it was discovered that this ability was extremely special. Even Bai Jingjing and Drif, two level three beings, could be vaguely sensed by this girl.

Such ability is likely to play an important role in this mission.

However, she is still not proficient enough in the use of her abilities, and does not have much common sense knowledge in the field of spiritual power.

So before leaving, she was forced to undergo a day of intensive training as a last-minute preparation.

Such training is undoubtedly effective.

The main focus is on the rapid development of muscle memory and the inculcation of spiritual common sense.

But after such training, Liu Xinyue was indeed exhausted both physically and mentally.

“I see…”

After hearing Drif's explanation, Ai Xin couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Branch Manager Martha, Sister Gosla, and many of Marlowe's friends are all her connections.

I joined Yong Zhou mainly because of this relationship.

But the girl in front of him was the one who truly joined Everday with her talent and ability.

It is basically clear who will go further in the future.

Her connections in Yong Zhou can at most allow her to meet some needs that do not affect the overall situation.

In the future, he wants to personally take over Uncle Marlowe's ideal of protecting humanity and take revenge on the abyss.

Both require strength.

At that time, relationships alone were not enough.

Therefore, Ai Xin was indeed a little envious of Liu Xinyue, who was said to be very capable.

While she was thinking, Liu Xinyue, who had been retching in front of her, finally stopped retching.

"No, no, I feel like vomiting when I move at high speed. Yesterday, the Minister of Internal Affairs wrapped me in spiritual power and beat me up for a whole day."

"They said it was helping me to strengthen my body, but I also started to feel dizzy from high speeds and 3D."

"So, Senior Drif, don't grab me and move at high speed next time."

After taking a deep breath, Liu Xinyue gave Derev a helpless look and said.

"Hello, my name is Ai Xin."

Seeing that Liu Xinyue had finally recovered, Ai Xin did not forget to greet her.

"I hear your sorrow."

Liu Xinyue looked at Ai Xin who greeted her, and this was the first sentence she said.

She was able to hear it keenly, and it was a sound of sadness and confusion.

But her words made Ai Xin freeze in place.

The whole person's face turned gloomy in an instant.

Ai Xin really wanted to ask if this guy was polite? How could she not be sad?

I finally came out of the sadness.

or……

How about you kill your whole family and give it a try? In silence, Ai Xin suppressed the urge to take action.

Drif, who was standing by, quickly patted the back of Liu Xinyue's head, knocked her down on the table, and then apologized to Ai Xin, "Sorry, this guy's tone is a bit silly, and he can't help showing off his abilities when he makes a little progress."

"This guy was very cautious before joining Everday, but after joining Everday, he started to let himself go."

Drif explained to Aixin in front of him.

Apparently, Ai Xin was fine when Ying Zhongtang handed her over, but after just one day, she seemed like a completely different person.

Is it because I have encountered too many shocks since joining Yongzhao?

Or was it because she had been beaten up all day that her brain started to go wrong? After explaining this to Ai Xin, Derev picked up Liu Xinyue who was knocked over on the table and said to Ai Xin: "Don't worry, she definitely doesn't have any bad ideas."

"I'm sorry, I..."

Liu Xinyue also showed a somewhat apologetic expression.

Before she came, she heard Drif and the Minister of Internal Affairs Bai Yu talking about this teammate. It was said that because of his family of martyrs, they planned to make him an example and allow him to join Dawn Academy later.

It is not only to show the benefits that Yongzhu treats its members preferentially, but also to really let the will of the sacrificed Marlowe be passed on.

I didn’t realize what it meant that my teammates this time were from a martyr’s family.

Now she did react.

I also realized that my question was a bit abrupt.

How can you suddenly bring up sad things when someone looks calm and obviously wants to move on?

She had received so much information these days that she couldn't wrap her mind around it for a while.

After realizing this, she immediately expressed her apologies.

"Yeah, I know, it's okay."

"Shall we start the mission now?"

Ai Xin nodded, looked at the two people who were smiling kindly and friendly, and shook her head helplessly.

Of course she knows that everyone is not a bad person.

How could an organization that Uncle Marlowe was willing to devote his life to be a bad one?

But the sudden mention of her sadness made her expression change a little.

…………………………

Next.

The three people, who did not get along very well when they first met, began their investigation mission.

This western region is desolate and lonely. It is too big a project to investigate whether there are any anomalies in such a vast land.

Even if there are only three of them, they only need to be responsible for the area centered on Mount Kailash in Baga Township.

Even if there is Liu Xinyue's listening to the sounds of all things.

It's also difficult to find anything useful.

Nothing was found except endless barren Gobi and snowy mountains in the distance.

After a brief exploration of most areas in Baga Township.

The group decided to explore Mount Kailash, the tallest mountain in the surrounding area.

As the most historically and legendary Tibetan Buddhist sacred mountain in the area under their jurisdiction, they arranged it to be the last one.

Mount Kailash is not the highest mountain in the area, but only its snow-capped peak can be illuminated by the sun all year round. Coupled with its unique mountain shape, it is very different from the surrounding peaks and is full of religious piety and awe.

Coupled with its strong religious background, if there is anything unusual nearby, it would be least surprising to see it on Mount Kailash.

Not long after we climbed the mountain, a temple appeared in front of everyone.

This is Lingze Gongba Temple.

It is a temple built halfway up the mountain.

This can be said to be a gas station for preparing to land on Mount Kailash.

The three of them stepped decisively into the temple.

When investigating any anomalies, it is natural to also investigate the public’s reaction.

But just arrived at the temple.

I saw two foreigners who seemed to be stopping here for a rest starting to quarrel.

"Vons Maynard!"

"How long are you going to make trouble?!"

The red-haired woman couldn't help but yell at the ragged man in front of her.

The sound made the man named Maynard shrink back involuntarily.

“But I really saw…”

Maynard was about to whisper something in retort.

But he was interrupted by the red-haired woman who raised her voice and said, "What did you see?!"

"Before, you insisted on going out to explore alone, and then there was a huge sandstorm! Do you know how long I have been worried about you?"

The red-haired woman's eyes couldn't help but turn red as she spoke.

She hugged the ragged Maynard in front of her and murmured, "Let's not be great explorers anymore, okay?"

"What you saw was just an illusion caused by your tense nerves when facing the sandstorm. You should understand this better than anyone else, right?"

“Shambhala is just a legend!”

"You have already conquered Mount Everest. Your achievement is enough to be admired by countless people. There is no need to pursue the illusory Shambhala in the legend!"

"Now that you are back safely, shall we go home?"

There was a hint of pleading in the red-haired woman's voice.

For her boyfriend's dreams and pursuits, she supported him for many years and also suffered fear for many years.

Now she couldn't bear it any longer.

The sandstorm that nearly separated them a few days ago made her realize that staying alive is the most important thing.

Moreover, her boyfriend acted like a madman after coming back, which made her so distressed that she wanted to stop him from exploring Shambhala immediately.

"No! You don't understand!"

"I really have been there! I'll prove it!"

There was a flash of struggle in Maynard's eyes, then he gritted his teeth and showed a determined look.

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

At the gate of Lingze Gongba Temple, he ran into a burly man over two meters tall and two girls, but he didn't bother with them and just walked out the door.
