"It's so dark..." Li Wenxi whispered, "Should we turn on the lights? If we do, will this machine notice us?"
"Then don't open it. They should all have red berries, right? Just eat one." Wen Guixin said in the dark.
"That seems to make sense, then..."
"Hey, hey, let's stop now," Qin Fu said quickly. "Red berries enhance night vision. The principle is that they make it easier for the eyes to perceive light, right? Now that your night vision has been enhanced by eating red berries, will you be able to go out later?"
Xu Xin also spoke up: "I think so too. Let's not do it. Let's just leave it like this for now."
Xu Ying surveyed her surroundings. "My night vision is pretty good, so I can get a rough idea of what's going on. From what I can see, there aren't any offensive weapons here, but there are at least ten surveillance cameras covering this small room from every angle."
A small room about the size of a bedroom actually has more than a dozen surveillance cameras...
"What do you think this place is?" Lou Feier asked in the darkness. "Just now, the alien invaders poured those scarlet crystal fragments into this machine..."
"I don't know. But the monster might know."
Xu Ying looked at Xu Xin.
At this time, Xu Ying took off the bracelet and put it into Li Wenxi's hand: "Wenxi, take me in. I'll go talk to it. Five minutes, let me out in five minutes."
"Oh, okay." Li Wenxi nodded slightly and immediately touched Xu Xin with her bracelet.
Then, the scene in front of Xu Xin changed from darkness to a whole bright white space.
“Bing!”
When everyone was put into the bracelet, Coco was also put in. When Xu Xin came in, Coco cried and rushed to him.
Xu Xin rubbed Keke's little head.
I didn't let Coco out before because I felt that they were sliding and jumping, and their movements were very big. If Coco didn't hold on tightly to his cloak and fell out, it would be bad.
"Do you want me to take action?" The monster's hoarse and unpleasant voice sounded from behind Xu Xin.
He looked back and saw that the monster was sitting cross-legged on the ground like a human. Most of its eyes were closed, except for the two eyes on its face, which were open and looking at Xu Xin.
It was wearing a cloak of concealment, as if ready to be released at any moment.
"Yes." Xu Xin walked over to it and sat down. "The current situation..."
He briefly recounted the situation to the monster.
"Oh? Is that so?"
The monster hesitated for a moment.
"You guessed correctly. The seven or eight meter tall machine you saw is the storage and processing machine for the scarlet crystal. It is also the exit of this underground space."
"If the alien invaders who cut the scarlet crystal there want to escape, they will enter another larger opening and be brought to the surface by machinery."
"Furthermore, if you're discovered, the entrance above will be immediately sealed. If you want to escape, you'll have to rely on that machine. But that machine can't get you out. Entering it will only lead to your death."
Xu Xin understood: "So, if we didn't have Xu Ying's ability, if we were discovered after entering, we would be directly trapped in here and unable to leave."
The defense of this place is really tight.
If the cutting workers want to get out, they must enter this machine.
It seems that the purpose of this machine's existence, in addition to storing scarlet crystals, is probably more to check the bodies of the cutting workers who are about to leave here to see if they are carrying some scarlet crystals on them to prevent smuggling.
In this way, the scarlet crystal can be guaranteed not to leak out at all.
"It's like this." The monster stood up. "I know everything. Let me out. I'll help you lure those little machines away while you continue with your plan."
"You seem quite calm." Xu Xin looked up at it and said, "This is the final stage of your plan. If this plan succeeds..."
"We can drive these invaders off your planet." The monster's mouth split open, as if laughing. "I've been thinking a lot here alone. I've long anticipated this moment. The only thing I didn't expect was that you would act so quickly."
Xu Xin's eyes moved.
Just now, it actually called itself "a person".
Is this a change in mentality?
Forget it, considering the current situation, I can only believe it.
"Whether this plan can be completed depends on you." Xu Xin also stood up and stretched out his hand to it.
The monster was visibly stunned.
It has thoroughly studied human manners and civilization, and it knows that shaking hands is a etiquette between humans.
But unexpectedly, Xu Xin would want to shake hands with it.
It is obvious that both parties dislike each other very much.
However, its mouth opened even wider, and it held Xu Xin's hand with its eyes closed.
"No, the key still lies with you. But don't worry, I will lead those things away."
"Hmm..." Coco poked her little head out from Xu Xin's stealth cloak, watched the monster holding Xu Xin's hand, and blinked.
Xu Xin smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to say something, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed.
It changed from a bright white to a pitch black.
Five minutes were up and Li Wenxi released him from the bracelet.
