Until the end, Ellis couldn't get anything out of Wilson.

Although this guy often talks nonsense while running on the train, but if you really ask, this guy's mouth is as tight as if it was locked and welded shut.

No matter how much Ellis coerces and induces, Xiao Zhi can't get out this guy's secret with reason and emotion.

"Let me tell you, you are cheating." Wilson told Ellis with a serious face, "I didn't tell the captain or William directly at the beginning, they all figured it out on their own."

"If you want to know my secret, you can find it yourself."

Wilson said with a bachelor look on his face, "Anyway, since my secret was revealed by them, I have learned how to guard it tightly. Even if you bite me, I won't tell you."

In fact, if they hadn't seen him transform with their own eyes, no one would believe that he was the giant of light.

No matter how rich his imagination, Ellis could not have guessed more.

When he confessed to Captain Linden, it was simply because the situation was a little more critical. There was some external god who was secretly causing trouble, and he had to cooperate with the captain.

There must be openness and honesty in that situation.

As for William, he directly saw the monster cards and Drom. He was kidnapped by the Thorn Star before. He could only tell William the whole story.

And now it's normal for Ellis to know nothing.

He will never take off his vest easily again.

Unless the lady one day takes a picture of him transforming into Ultraman on his face, he won't say anything.

Because it takes a lot of effort to explain, and you have to bear the suspicion and distrustful eyes of the other party.

I don't know why, but he really doesn't want Ellis to regard him as some kind of alien god, but just to regard him as an ordinary person with a slight abnormality.

In short, it was not until Captain Lyndon collected samples of Martian soil and observed the surroundings that he turned around and interrupted Ellis's pursuit of Wilson.

"Actually, sometimes not knowing anything is also a kind of protection."

Captain Lyndon sighed helplessly, looking at Ellis who was about to push Wilson against the tree, and looked away from the two young men's clasped hands.

He coughed lightly to remind them both.

"Can you two let go of your hands for now? We still have to continue checking the perimeter of the island."

As soon as these words came out, the two people who were still confused about each other suddenly showed dull expressions, as if they were electrocuted. They immediately let go of their hands. After that, the two people acted like nothing happened. One looked up at the sky, and the other Stare at your feet.

"..."

Captain Linden suddenly thought of something.

If he remembered correctly, William seemed to have mentioned to him that Wilson's age could only be regarded as an embryo among their species...well...

But Professor Howard himself is not young anymore, and is much older than Ellis.

How should this cross-racial relationship be calculated?

Captain Lyndon was lost in thought.

"Ahem," Wilson coughed slightly to cover up his embarrassment. He volunteered, "I'll go ahead and explore the road first. I'll report to you at any time if anything happens."

After saying that, he seemed to have escaped and stepped into the depths of the island. Judging from his back, he seemed to be in a hurry.

He could feel the burning gaze behind him.

The look in the beautiful red-haired lady's eyes almost burned a hole in the oxygen tank behind him.

Captain Lyndon, standing next to Ellis, seemed to be able to hear the sound of Ellis rubbing his teeth.

Captain Linden rubbed his temples with a headache.

But as a considerate and very reliable old captain, he still took the initiative to relieve Ellis's troubles.

"I hope you don't pay too much attention to him. He has many secrets. Maybe he doesn't want to tell you because he wants to protect you."

"On the difficult road of being an investigator, sometimes knowing too much may not be a good thing."

"But Captain, you all know his secret..."

Ellis's tone seemed to be mixed with a hint of displeasure and melancholy, but for some reason, Captain Linden seemed to sense some sourness.

"Sometimes I can feel that he seems to be carrying a lot of things, but he is unwilling to tell me anything. Obviously I am also a companion standing by his side, right?"

"But you all know him and his secrets. He and William have set up a secret laboratory and are studying things that I can't understand. Captain, you sometimes pay special attention to him..."

"Except for me, I seem to be the burden. I am just an ordinary person, and I am an ordinary person with a bad and chaotic mental state. That night in Innsmouth, I was the first to be hit..."

"So, it's not like I can't understand why he doesn't want to tell me the secret."

"I don't know why, I'm just a little sad."

Ellis sighed sadly again.

Those beautiful blue eyes were filled with loneliness and confusion.

"..."

Captain Linden didn't know what to say at this time.

He knew Ellis' background.

Ellis' family has always been powerful on the North American continent.In this country where capital is prevalent, she can be said to be the princess here. She has had everything she wanted since she was a child.

It is worth mentioning that Ellis is not her last name.

It's her middle name, which is also her grandmother's last name.

Her original surname was Rothschild.

But since she ran away to attend Miskatonic University alone during her rebellious period, she changed her last name on her own.

She has always been committed to carving out a niche for herself, and she doesn't really want her name to be linked to her original family.But her affairs are basically approved by her family. No matter what she plans to do, her original family will take the initiative to come over and provide greetings in all aspects.

So in every aspect, you won’t encounter any difficulties.Coupled with her excellent appearance and talent, it was almost smooth sailing along the way, and she never encountered many blows or setbacks.

Because of the family power behind her, there have always been many outstanding men with small family backgrounds or outstanding looks who came over to talk to her and get close to her, but Ellis never cared much.

Although this girl has always been very carefree and very heroic in every move she makes, she doesn't look like a young lady at all.But deep down, she still has her own pride.

Perhaps the incident with her mentor was such a shock to her that she joined the expedition.

And Wilson's appearance seemed to make her experience frustrations in interpersonal relationships.

Young girls' thoughts are always so difficult to guess, but sometimes they are easy to understand.

A man shrouded in mystery always has a fatal temptation.And many times, she and Wilson experienced many dangerous and desperate situations together, and the bond formed in these desperate situations was always difficult to break.

If Wilson was really just an ordinary antiquities expert, then there would be no problem with all this.

Howard Wilson himself was not married.

Judging from Captain Lyndon's information, it seems that this guy has always been a blockhead, immersed in his own academic field, and knows nothing about love.But if paired with a young, energetic and slightly strong girl, it seems to be very suitable.

But the most important thing is that the current "Howard Wilson" is not just an ordinary person, not even a human being.

Captain Lyndon had no hope at all for the final outcome of the two of them.

Perhaps in mythology, the combination of gods and ordinary humans can give birth to demigods.But this is nothing more than human delusion.

People who combine delusion with a great existence will, without exception, eventually fall into madness. Even if offspring are really born, they are just crazy, twisted things that need to be eliminated.

Perhaps in the eyes of those outer gods, there is no essential difference between humans and other ugly monsters. They are just ants.That ant was stronger and they didn't care much at all.

Even if Wilson is slightly different from the alien god he understands.

But Captain Lyndon still retained the most pessimistic attitude.

Maybe there is a small fire in Ellis's heart, but at this moment, he must put out this fire.

Otherwise, it is very likely that this flame will eventually backfire and burn everyone to ashes.

"Maybe you should set your sights elsewhere. Looking for the truth blindly is not a good thing."

Captain Linden spoke slowly, "He doesn't want to tell you, and he has his own reasons for keeping secrets."

"I understand……"

Ellis let out a heavy sigh.

Just when Captain Linden hesitated to say a few more words of comfort.

Ellis suddenly broke out into a bright smile, "It really worries you, Captain."

"I know that Captain, you have always been very reliable, and my mentor has been praising you. After knowing Wilson's secret, you still choose to trust him, which shows that everything is under control, right?"

"If I want to continue to explore, will it break some kind of balance? Maybe that is already a category that I have to know."

"I know I can be willful sometimes, but maybe I won't be anymore."

As she spoke, she waved her fist energetically, seemingly toward Wilson's disappearing back.

"Isn't it just a little secret?"

"I don't care."

She hid all her thoughts in her eyes, and seemed to have regained her former buoyancy. She carried her oxygen tank neatly and stepped into the depths of the island.

Captain Linden looked at the tall and slender red figure.

He sighed melancholy.

----

Wilson walked on the red soil, looking a little embarrassed.

His system was still reminding him deep in his mind.

[After testing, the host's mood fluctuates greatly, and dopamine secretion is relatively strong... Host, have you developed an emotion called liking? 】

"Zhuom...human emotions are very complicated. I just have a slight affection for Ellis."

Wilson and his own system emphasized.

[So that’s it, the host’s situation has been recorded in the system log and marked as favorable. 】

"..."

Wilson didn't know whether his system was intentional or simply ignorant.

But Zhuo Mu's words often choked him to the point of being speechless.

He was certain that Zhuom definitely had his own thoughts and feelings, but for some unknown reason, he seemed to be keen on antagonizing him.

"Stop worrying about this."

Wilson forcibly changed the subject, "Zhuom, have you noticed anything unusual on this island?"

Walking through the jungle, he looked up at the building in front of him.

The island is built on Martian soil, but there is still a layer of soil material from Earth on the surface due to dust carried by the ocean and wind.

Therefore, the plants here are almost still plants from the earth.

But after all, because the underlying soil has some special composition and insufficient nutrients, the growth of these trees is not very good. They look a little malnourished and look strange and skinny.

But no matter how strange it looks, it is still a normal earth plant.

Until he entered the range of human activities, he still didn't see Qijela's figure, and there were no flowers similar to Qijera.

During Zhuom's detection, the pollution concentration here did not increase or decrease, and it was impossible to identify an accurate source.

This was somewhat different from what he had originally speculated.

He originally thought he could see one or two familiar shadows here, because according to the records in Professor Douglas's notes, this place should have become Qijela's world.

He believed that under Zhuom's detection, no fish would slip through the net.

But now he really didn't find even a single flower.

Soon, Captain Lyndon and Ellis behind him also followed.

"We have arrived at the human activity area on the island. Do we need to continue exploring?"

Captain Linden asked proactively.

Although he is the leader of the expedition, in the current environment, Wilson's plan seems to be more reliable.

"I have no idea……"

Wilson looked at the distant buildings.

From here, you can see the streets, the small houses in the back, the shops on the streets, and even the clothes hanging to dry outside the room windows.

You can imagine the original life scene here.

In the early morning, people get up from bed, breathe in the fresh sea breeze, hang or put away the laundry, and then walk to the street and listen to the shouts on the roadside.

Everything seems to be very beautiful.

Although the island is small, it is cozy enough.

But now everything here has become an empty shell.

"There's no breath of life left here..."
