Become a legend in the interstellar

This kind of old-fashioned fax machine does not even have a simple telephone display, nor will it display the attribution of the other party.

Two pieces of fax paper fluttered down, and there were only two simple sentences.

Su Xia took a closer look, and a very common prompt popped up in front of her eyes.

[Facsimile Paper: Auxiliary Items]

Just this one line, nothing else.

He was very sure that the reporter's parents were on the opposite side.

If you can gain the trust of the old couple, you may be able to get other clues to make the mission more advanced.

The problem is, trust doesn't build overnight.

Therefore, Su Xia is stalling for time.

He lowered his head and touched his chin, seemingly in deep thought, but he was actually waiting for feedback from the small nanobots around him.

Ding Can showed Su Xia the photos of the reporter's parents, and those nano-robots only needed face matching.

[No targets with high matching degree found within a radius of 500 meters]

[Not found within a radius of 800 meters...]

【…】

Messages came back.

The nano-robots that were sent out checked the surrounding residential buildings, shops, hotels, etc. one by one, and compared the people in them one by one, even the homeless people on the street.

In the room, Su Xia was still in deep thought.

In fact, as long as he shows the ability to control metal with one hand, with his current reputation, the old couple will probably believe him.

However, there is a slight possibility... That is, the opposite person may not be the old couple, but may really be used by the mastermind behind the scenes to fish.

Therefore, Su Xia can't expose too much.

After a few minutes, the fax machine suddenly beeped again, and another piece of fax paper was spit out.

On this piece of paper, there was also a simple sentence: "The driver of the car outside is Ding Can, the son of the city lord?"

Seeing this, Su Xia's heart moved, she nodded to the hidden monitor next to her, and said, "Yes, that's him."

After getting an affirmative answer, the fax machine spit out another piece of paper in less than half a minute.

The other party said: "Let him enter the room. If it is confirmed that it is him, we can meet."

"it is good."

This sudden change of attitude was unexpected by Su Xia.

He called Ding Can this time because he just needed Ding Can to check some basic information for him, and to be his driver by the way.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually asked to see Ding Can by name.

He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Ding Can outside: "Come in, be safe."

"coming!"

Upon receiving the news, Ding Can immediately got off the car and walked quickly to Room 102.

Before he could walk in, the fax machine in the room rang.

The other party said: "It is indeed him, you did not lie to me, it seems that you are trustworthy."

At the same time, Ding Can entered the house.

Seeing the fax machine at work, he felt strange, so he reached out to pick up the few pieces of paper that were spit out just now, and read every sentence of the conversation sent by the other party.

"Call me by name?"

Ding Can was overjoyed, he was finally useful.

In the previous actions, his biggest role was to drive, and other than that, he was looking through the garbage in the villa, without much sense of participation.

Soon, the fax machine spit out the next piece of paper: "Your reputation is very good, unlike those people, I know some friends in the refugee resettlement area, they all praise you, I hope you are the same person on the outside. "

"Of course I am what I look like."

Ding Can lifted his collar and said so.

He also didn't expect that the things he did in the slums would pay off today.

Su Xia didn't speak, and stood quietly by the side, accepting the feedback from the small nanorobots.

[No high-matching targets were found within a radius of 700 meters]

【…】

As the search area expanded, the nanobots slowed down.

After all, the small robots in Su Xia's hands are still not enough. If the number can be increased several times or more than ten times, it will be much more convenient to do things in the future.

Soon, the fax machine started beeping again, and the other party sent the next piece of paper.

The paper reads: "Do you have a tail behind you?"

The other party is quite cautious, this is asking them to confirm whether anyone is following them.

Ding Can is not sure about this, he has been only caring about driving, and the speed of the car once exceeded [-].

In Haima City, almost no one dared to stop his car.

Even if there was a tail at the back, it was probably thrown off by him. After all, other cars driving too fast would be stopped by city defense patrol cars.

Now the whole city is under martial law, and the city is about to be closed, and drones are not allowed in the sky.

"My lord, do we have tails behind us?" Ding Can asked Su Xia.

"No."

Su Xia can be sure that she has temporarily escaped the opponent's tracking along the way.

But the other party may guess their target, and may find it after a period of time.

After getting a reply, the other party sent a new message: "Well, you guys hide the car outside, then walk into the alley that is the second from the left of this street, there is an abandoned phone booth inside, enter the phone booth, I will tell you Your next move."

The other party was so cautious that he still refused to tell them his position.

This method of guidance made Su Xia feel like she was playing an old-fashioned spy game.

"OK, wait."

Su Xia agreed to the other party's request.

He already knew the surrounding construction and it would be easy to hide the car.

"My lord, I'm going to drive."

Ding Can turned around and planned to leave the room.

But before he could walk out the door, he suddenly noticed the lock on the main entrance.

"Hey, my lord, I thought you broke in by force."

Ding Can looked at the door lock in surprise, and found that the door lock was intact, so he asked, "My lord, do you know how to pick locks?"

"Well, I understand a little bit."

"It's amazing. I think you just twisted the doorknob a few times, and the door opened." Ding Can twisted the doorknob, trying to open and close the door.

Even he needs a special gadget to open the lock. How did this lord manage to open the lock with bare hands?

Looking at the complete door lock, Ding Can thought of the explosion that happened on the road before.

How did this lord detonate those ambush devices?
Could it be that he can control objects from a distance?

Or……

A weird idea appeared in Ding Can's mind, and it was hard to suppress once it appeared.

He took a few deep breaths, a little excited, but not sure.

They then drove the car to a secluded location and temporarily hid it.

After that, according to the other party's instructions, the two walked into the alley.

There is indeed an abandoned telephone booth in the alley, the surface is dirty, full of graffiti, the top is covered with dust and dead leaves, I don’t know how long it has been abandoned, and the front is covered with various small advertisements.

When the two approached, a "sizzling" sound suddenly came from the phone booth.

This sound is very weak, and if you don't listen carefully, you may confuse it with the rest of the environment.

"My lord, they should want us to answer the phone." Ding Can said.

"Yes, go pick it up."

Su Xia felt it silently, and there were several surveillance cameras in this alley.

They are all special wireless monitors, arranged in extremely hidden corners, and they have been camouflaged so that they are difficult to detect.

The other party watched the actions of the two of them through these monitors.

At this time, countless small nanorobots are still feeding back information for Su Xia.

[No target found within a radius of 900 meters]

[No target found within a radius of 930 meters]

【…】

Searches are becoming more and more difficult.

In the booth, Ding Can put that old phone to his ear and said, "I'm here, what's next?"

A hoarse voice came from the other side of the phone, very low, as if it had been processed by a voice changer.

"Leave here, go north, go under a bridge, there is an old mailbox below, take out the letter from the mailbox, and find a coordinate inside."

After speaking, the other party hung up the phone.

In less than 30 seconds, there is no chance of tracking.

This vigilance is simply higher than those of formally trained human soldiers.

The overpass indicated by the other party is only more than 300 meters away from here, and it will be within a short time.

Ding Can put down the phone, walked out of the pavilion, and said to Su Xia, "My lord, shall we continue to follow the instructions?"

"Well, go ahead, don't worry."

In this way, according to the prompt, the two walked slowly in the neighborhood under the night.

It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening. Normally, this area might have been full of wandering gang members, but it has been quite quiet in recent days.

The two walked under the overpass and saw the mailbox that the other party was talking about.

It's more like a trash can than a mailbox.

It looks dilapidated, and the green paint on the outside has almost fallen off, leaving only brown rust, which gradually fades away in the wind and rain day after day.

Ding Can opened the mailbox, and there were dozens of letters in it, which made him dizzy.

"My lord, time is running out now. We need to find the location of the old couple from so many letters?" Ding Can glanced at the time and felt that the old couple was embarrassing.

"Look for it."

Su Xia sensed carefully, and found several hidden cameras under the bridge.

On the side, Ding Can endured his complaints and began to look for what he needed in a pile of letters.

It's fine if it's just an ordinary coordinate position.

I'm afraid that the old couple will make some weird password words, or weird permutations and combinations, which will waste more time.

At this time, the small nanorobots who had been looking around sent good news to Su Xia.

[The target task has been found, the matching rate is as high as 99%]

Through the shared vision, Su Xia saw the location of the target.

It was a supermarket, five kilometers away, and it was closed.

The old couple lived on the ceiling of the supermarket, in a mezzanine less than two meters high.

The inside is full of various mechanical equipment, and there are more than 20 small monitoring screens alone. Various black wires are tangled together, which looks very messy. In addition, there are a large number of paper documents piled up.

At this moment, the two old men curled up in front of the screen, watching every move of Su Xia and Ding Can.

"It's really vigilant." Su Xia said involuntarily.

It is already considered the limit for ordinary people to do this.

The old couple is also investigating the cause of their son's death. On the surface, they use lawsuits to confuse their opponents, making people around them think that they want to solve it through normal channels, but in fact they are secretly collecting information.

On a paper document beside them, Su Xia suddenly saw the words [Left Eye Security Group].

In the landfill, those eccentric security guards belong to this group.

"My lord, the letters have been opened." Ding Can suddenly said, "But they are all ordinary letters, without any coordinates at all."

"The coordinates should be hidden in some text." Su Xia said.

"Still have to solve the riddle?"

Ding Can stared at the letter in his hand, frowning.

If the old couple really believed him, they should have told him the location directly instead of wasting his patience here.

Time is precious, and he knows that Su Xia intends to leave before six o'clock tomorrow morning.

"My lord, time is running out, why don't you just go back to that room and ask them?" Ding Can suggested.

"Not urgent."

"My lord, you must be in a hurry."

Ding Can took out his mobile phone, showed Su Xia the latest message he received, and said, "Just now, creatures from the mechanical race entered the Zero Point Tavern. These two forces are going to join forces in Haima City, and the people from Anluo Company The stand installation is being arranged..."

Su Xia stared at Ding Can's phone screen and took a closer look.

This message was actually sent by Ding Yixiu.

After all, the middle-aged man was worried about his son, so he told the details directly, and repeatedly told him: "The masked monster will definitely die, you must not interfere with the actions of the mechanical clan and the Zero Tavern, and go home immediately if something happens!"

This night, the atmosphere in the whole city became more and more tense.

Many forces have smelled something unusual.

According to rumors, the Machina was calculated based on various information, and it was finally judged that the probability of the masked man being in Seahorse City was as high as 77.4%.

And the Zero Tavern was deduced by a member with special psionic talent.

In any case, the fact that the creatures of the Machina entered the Zero Tavern was so common that one had to think about it.

Many people thought that after this night, the masked man would disappear from the world.

"My lord, why don't you go first?"

Ding Can suddenly persuaded: "I stay in Haima City. I have more time. I can investigate slowly in the future. When the storm in this period is over, you can come back and continue the investigation, sir."

"Why, didn't you persuade me to stay for a few more days before?" Su Xia smiled lightly, "I don't have confidence in your underground mine?"

"No, I'm just worried about the underground forces of the machine clan."

Ding Can really wanted Su Xia to stay for a few more days.

He thought that Su Xia, like the others, came for the masked man.

But during the contact along the way, he vaguely discovered that the images of Su Xia and the masked man overlapped more and more.

This made him very excited, but also worried. After all, the closure of the city was aimed at the masked monsters.

"No hurry, there is still time, let's go to the old couple first." Su Xia said.

"But... my lord, we don't know the coordinates yet."

"no need."

Su Xia suddenly reached out, pressed Ding Can's back neck, activated the boots of haste, and instantly disappeared into the monitoring as an afterimage.

At this time, on the second floor of the supermarket, the old couple were startled.

In the blink of an eye, Su Xia and Ding Can who were under surveillance disappeared. Where did they go?

"What's wrong? Is there a problem with the monitoring?"

This was the first thought of the two, so they immediately began to check the lines and equipment.

The reason why the two of them made things so complicated was just to see Su Xia and Ding Can's cooperative attitude and test their sincerity.

For them, time is not precious, after all, they plan to spend the rest of their lives investigating the cause of their son's death.

But just as they started to investigate, there was a knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong..."

Hearing this voice, both of them startled at the same time, and hurriedly looked at the monitor at the door.

In the surveillance, it was Su Xia and Ding Can who disappeared just now.

At this moment, Su Xia withdrew her hand knocking on the door, and slowly raised her head, as if knowing that the two were watching him from behind the monitor, she made a gesture to open the door.

"how come……"

The old couple looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.

They thought they had hidden it quite well, how did Su Xia find the door?And wasn't he still under that flyover just now?

At this moment, Su Xia's calm voice came from outside the door: "You two, don't try to understand some things with ordinary people's thinking. You should know that you may never be able to find out the truth about your son's death on your own... ...I don't have much time, please open the door."
