I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 342 Interlude
After Su Wen calmly and casually pointed out the next destination of the Wiltings.

Nelson continued:

“If it’s there.

Kevin.

I might be able to help.”

"Is this the Woodsmen sect to which you belong?"

Su Wen gave probably the most reasonable answer based on his own memories.

After all, if Nelson and Captain Adrian had not belonged to the same Forester sect, it would have been difficult for him to find a better breakthrough point on Colin's journey to the Samoa Islands.

But Nelson looked a little embarrassed.

This always optimistic photographer is even in the Palawan Islands, which is known as the "Utopia on the Sea".

The Higgs field in the South Pacific, which was born from deep-sea relics and recorded up close in Puerto Princesa, did not show such an expression.

then.

Nelson reluctantly gave a truly unexpected answer:
“It’s my sister.

She is a professor of Earth and planetary science at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability.

Ever since I heard about the Lost Sea, I have been operating on the border.

She has no connection to the Woodsman sect.

of course.

The forest ranger elders in America probably wouldn’t agree to let Avina join our organization.”

Hear this answer.

Su Wen thought this was good news, but as a master of psychology, he humorously understood the deeper meaning of Nelson's words:

“An experienced frontier pioneer, he should be very helpful to us in what comes next.

But Nelson.

It seems like your words have some profound meaning.”

The photographer held his forehead and sighed:

"Because she is a science fanatic. Ever since Stanford learned about the [Star Sea Wormhole Effect] that connects the Lost Sea to the other side of the border, the professors at the Stanford Duke Earth and Star School seemed to have found a treasure.

Just as far as I know, there are more than thirty professors who haven't been home for Christmas in almost three years.

And Avina is even more special.

Forget it.

You will understand it slowly when we meet."

Hear him say that.

Su Wen suddenly thought of his parents.

now.

He suddenly felt more empathetic towards Nelson's attitude:

"I think I understand you."

The two of them confirmed their next plans and then simply said goodbye and took a rest.

Su Wen returned to the house.

now.

Jiang Menghan had just finished taking a shower and was wearing soft pajamas.

Her wet long hair sticking to her body added a touch of lovable beauty to her usually cool temperament.

of course.

As the only inheritor of the sublimated lineage of the moon goddess Artemis in this world, the beauty of the iceberg girl is actually hard to find flaws in.

It’s just to prevent the troubles caused by beauty most of the time.

Jiang Menghan hid himself using [Sublimation Lineage: Artemis]-[Extraordinary Characteristics: Moon Hidden].

But maybe it was because of some of her little girlish thoughts, or maybe it was because of the relationship between the two of them.

Jiang Menghan was not on guard against Su Wen.

The slightly moist air in the room was filled with the girl's body fragrance, a pleasant and comfortable elegant smell, like a mint candy that was about to melt in the sun.

But the detective just smiled gently and sat down at the table, then handed her the small cake she had just ordered from the western restaurant:

“You’ve worked hard tonight, here’s a midnight snack.

Tiramisu made with mascarpone cheese from Italy. ”

The little cakes are exquisite.

But for this late hour, the girl's face showed a little cute entanglement:

"You'll get fat."

"Have you forgotten? We are in a dream now. Apart from the growth of psychic properties, the weight should not change much."

then.

He leisurely hung his black windbreaker in the cloakroom at the door, and then teased:
"certainly.

If you develop the habit of eating midnight snacks, I can’t say what will happen when you return to the real world.”

Hearing the teasing in his words, the girl snorted softly, but did not refuse. Instead, she took the tiramisu from his hand. She combed her long hair ladylike in her pajamas and began to taste this delicious dessert.

Su Wen picked up a book and leaned back on the sofa to read.

The atmosphere is quiet yet comfortable.

now.

The Veltins has not yet left port.

The light of the lighthouse seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze in the thick fog and was not dazzling.

It was like the moonlight on a midsummer night in the real world.

In the voyage on the Lost Sea, it is actually very rare to actually encounter the guidance of the star cluster. Compared to the stars hidden in the thick fog, the lighthouse is probably more like a traveler's destination.

and so.

Spending the night under the dim light of a rekindled lighthouse may bring some peace of mind to many anxious people.

that's it.

Time passed slowly.

Jiang Menghan also talked to him about the follow-up of this incident during the chat:

“So, Mr. Su.

Could you please explain briefly what you mean by 'escape'?"

Hearing her ask this.

Su Wen smiled and asked back:
"I think you should have an answer in your mind. I want to hear your thoughts first."

The iceberg girl said softly in a cold and pleasant voice:

"Offshore, the danger posed by the Jupiter statue, right?"

Jiang Menghan is extremely smart.

In an instant, he found the key point of Su Wen's recent thinking.

He leaned on the table with one hand and continued:

"That's right.

When I actually used the Jupiter sculpture, I found that the 'tidal locking' power it involved was too large in scope.

in other words.

I don't think it was buried there for the sake of a zero-sum game, but someone must have taken advantage of its huge energy level to summon the black tide."

“Cultists.

It definitely exists in the Veltins, and if possible, it is necessary to eliminate this hidden danger.

But I cannot analyze Captain Jerome’s attitude for the time being.”

Jiang Menghan gave his own conclusion rationally.

Su Wen smiled and shook his finger:
"Don't worry, they are still useful.

Next stop of the journey.

I still need them to come out and perform the 'final act.'"

In fact, Su Wen had already locked onto the existence of the 'Black Tide Sacrifice' in his mind.

For him, the entire Veltins was not so safe in this kind of situation.

Compared to the Cleveland Steel Consortium, which set its sights on the recently destroyed branch of the Faro mine.

From Famiel's words.

Su Wen did not believe that the purpose of Captain Jerome of the Veltins and Dr. Farmier was to trap a group of castaways to conduct NASA experiments.

Moreover.

This was also different from the drifter mutation experiments that Famiel knew about.

NASA's goal is the 'Dragon Clan', even if it is just a fourth-level sub-dragon offspring, such an experiment is unimaginable.

That's right.

Unlike StarCraft.

The only civilization known to humankind that can control this starry sky is not the White Tower Star Civilization of the Quaternary Age or Atlantis of the Third Age.

Instead, they are the "Dragon Clan" that disappeared into the Oort Cloud at the end of the Second Era and can only be seen in legends or myths about human civilization's glimpses of higher dimensions.

They are truly golden next-generation life forms.

But Su Wen felt that even if he played six or seven more time-travel games, he would probably never be able to see it with his own eyes.

Obviously.

Even the database of Ain Samsung does not record such information.

If the Earth had not been the outbreak point for the activation of dark matter in the origin century, it would have communicated so many relics and borders.

This is not a milestone that a civilization in a galaxy on the outskirts of the Milky Way that has not yet developed controlled nuclear fusion technology can participate in.

and so.

He must seize this only opportunity.

Promote the layout of interstellar navigation planning in the Lost Sea and even the present world.
