Byron's Blade

The expedition team held an unprecedented emergency meeting, which started at eleven o'clock in the middle of the night and did not end until four o'clock in the morning the next day.All the leaders of the expedition participated in this meeting. Except for the injured Lan Ni, all expedition members with the rank of Haiying Lieutenant and above and Assassin Commander and above all participated in the meeting.And the most important core figure in this meeting is the mysterious figure who has just been brought out of the core of the monster by Mu Li—Latia.

The appearance of this peerless beauty set off a huge wave in the entire expedition team.Mu Li did not hide any information about Latia, and Mu Li recounted everything that Latia told her.

Latiya doesn't know the current common language for the time being, so she can only have a direct thought conversation with a person like Mu Li who has a very pure soul, but not the rest.In her words, except for Mu Li, the souls of other people are too turbid. Although there are very few people who are relatively pure, they are not up to her standard.Mu Li didn't ask her who had the higher purity of soul, she was actually quite disgusted with this matter.

Although Latiya can't communicate with other people normally, it doesn't mean that she can't communicate at all. Her body language and demeanor are enough to convey something. What's more, Latiya knows a little old English. It just so happens that the chief of the technical force——Major Feng Xin is very knowledgeable. He is well-informed, a language genius, and also understands old English, so Feng Xin can also communicate with Latiya.

Mu Li didn't have any reason to hide or lie, so no one doubted the authenticity of the fact that she was able to communicate with Latia and the words relayed on Latia's behalf.Mu Xin was uncharacteristically silent and did not express any opinions at all. Although she organized a meeting for everyone, Mu Li became the protagonist, and she was almost the only one who spoke at the meeting.After all, she has the responsibility of an interpreter, and as the only person who can communicate with Latia without barriers, there is nothing she can do. Otherwise, she would rather sit beside Lani and accompany her quietly, and collect her thoughts by the way.

When Latia first appeared outside the core, Qiu Zheng, Zoe, Lilian, and the officers and soldiers present, including Mu Xin himself, all fell into extreme shock and strange silence.One is to be shocked by her appearance; the other is to be surprised that there is such a young girl living in the core of the monster. Her appearance undoubtedly subverts everyone's three views.

Mu Li promptly found a long cloak to put on her, and asked Latia if she could adapt to the current atmospheric environment, the mysterious girl told her that her body had already survived in such an environment for hundreds of years, no problem.As the breeding ground for the mother worm's initial parasitism, her own body genes were also changed, and later integrated into the genes of grapevine plants, so she was more or less no longer a pure human being.For example, her skin, although it is white and beautiful now, is actually able to scale and carry out photosynthesis. This ability can solve her diet problem, so that her body can still absorb energy even if she does not eat for a long time , to carry out various activities without hindrance.Of course, drinking water is a must.

During the meeting, this girl even performed a special performance of scaly skin, just like the shape-shifting girl in a Hollywood blockbuster "Cops" in the last century, her skin can really turn into a dark green scaly state, nearly Mu Li, who was watching from a distance, had goosebumps all over his body.

The chiefs of all levels and departments of the team, after the initial shock, were aroused with great curiosity one after another, and began to ask questions constantly around Latia.Latia never refused to come, and answered all of them patiently, but it was a pain for Mu Li, who had to keep explaining instead of Latia, and his mouth was dry.It felt like she hadn't said so many words at once since she was born.

The most excited one was Bailey. This female doctor wanted to kneel down and be grateful for Latia's survival.As the main force of questions, she asked Latia a series of very critical questions logically and scientifically. After she finished asking, everyone added some other questions one after another.

The main problem still focuses on the war between Atlantis and Lemuria and the information about the female insect.These are no different from what Latia told Mu Li at the beginning.What needs to be added is that Latia was not unconscious during the long years of sinking to the bottom of the sea. Her brain waves were amplified by magnetite, and she was able to collect some bits and pieces of information from the world. With her logical analysis and reasoning, she can also get a general idea of ​​what's happening outside.

After humans entered the information age, it was easier for her to receive information and her brain became more active. Old English was learned during this period.For Latia, the ships sailing on the Atlantic Ocean, including the planes flying across the Atlantic Ocean, are her best targets for capturing information.The radio interference is a side effect of magnetite. Once her brain waves become active, the radio will be interfered. Therefore, the radio of the large army was cut off twice. The first time was when she woke up for the first time, and the second time It was she who revived after killing the monster's soul.

"You said, you, your grandfather, parents, and three brothers and sisters worked together to suppress that alien monster. Do you still know where they are?" This question was raised by Mo Kexin, which Bailey didn't expect.Mu Li "translated" this question to Latiya.

[I don't know, since we returned to the mainland, I have lost contact with them.In fact, my grandfather and my parents died when they were at the bottom of the sea. They were old and weak, and they couldn't bear the great pressure to activate the magnetite, so they couldn't resuscitate.I also have a brother and two sisters, I don't know if they are still alive or not. 】

Latiya's answer, Mu Li once again conveyed it to everyone intact.When Mu Li finished his narration, the meeting tent fell into silence, and everyone was either thoughtful or tired.Obviously, the questioning has finally come to an end, and there is no question to ask Latia for the time being.

Mu Xin, who had been silent for several hours, finally made a sound, ending this lengthy meeting:

"Okay, it's almost dawn now, let's go to rest, we're leaving at noon. As for Latia, I'll take care of it for the time being. Everyone returns to their posts. Don't forget the purpose of our trip. Bei Dr. Li..." Seeing that Bailey raised his hand again to speak, Mu Xin quickly interrupted her, saying, "I understand, I allow Latia to assist your research, you don't have to worry."

Bailey breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gratifiedly.

"Okay, let's end the meeting. Mu Li, stay here for a while. Well, Major Feng Xin, Miss Mo, and Miss He, please take care of Latia first, and I will go find you in a while."

Everyone came out of the meeting tent one after another. Major Feng Xin, who took the task, tried to communicate with Latiya in old English, asking her to follow him and others out of the tent. Latia nodded in response, with a clear and melodious voice.The two young ladies Mo and He, as masters in the social circle and the current top nobles of the federation, also surrounded Latia as representatives of their identities and greeted Latia, expressing their respect for her royal status.Latiya gave Mu Li a last reluctant look before being surrounded by the crowd and leaving the conference tent.This beautiful girl like a living fossil who unexpectedly survived in ancient times has been warmly welcomed by everyone, except for one person who is in a complicated state of mind.

Mo Kexin just felt dumbfounded, how many rivals in love does she need to be considered big?Now even an ancient man wants to compete with her, and I feel that this ancient man's fighting power is much stronger than her, even much stronger than Lanny.Although she is only a 14-year-old young girl, she is really no less than an adult.

When there were only Mu Xin and Mu Li left in the tent, the atmosphere seemed awkward and silent for a while.However, Mu Li still pretended to be nonchalant and asked:

"What orders does the leader have?"

"A Li..." Mu Xin called her name and sighed heavily, "I think it's time for you to know something."

Mu Li didn't speak, just looked at her expressionlessly.

"Have you...already remembered everything?" Mu Xin asked cautiously.

"You already know the answer, why do you need to ask more?" Mu Li said indifferently, pulled away the chair beside him, and sat down slowly.During the meeting, she was always standing as an interpreter. She has been standing for several hours, and she has not slept all night. From yesterday to today, she has experienced so many things in less than 24 hours, and she is really tired at the moment. .

Mu Xin didn't speak for a while, and the two were relatively silent.Mu Li lowered his head, staring at the back of his hand, not looking at her.After a while, she said:

"Tell me what you have to say, I'm still going to see Lanny." The voice was full of exhaustion.

"It's mom... I'm sorry..."

Mu Xin's voice came from the opposite side, the choked tone brought weak ups and downs, but she swallowed it back, and the rest was only suppressed calm and painful blank space.Mu Li's heart trembled, and a strong sourness appeared under her nose, which made her eyes turn red.But she still lowered her head without any change in her expression, not looking at her, not daring to raise her head, for fear that when she raised her head, tears would come down uncontrollably.

"You are not my mother." After a dead silence, Mu Li gave such an answer.When she said this, every time she uttered a word, her soul seemed to be pulled away.In the end, a certain part of the soul disappeared, the sore nose diminished, and the blood suddenly became cold.

Just six words, but sharper than ten thousand arrows piercing the heart.Mu Xin clenched her fists tightly, her breathing was stagnant, her whole body was trembling, her face was pale and bloodless.The hideous scar on the cheek seemed to have formed more painful lines.

"Boss, if it's okay, I'll leave first." Mu Li still didn't look at her, stood up, and turned to walk outside the tent.

"Back then!" Mu Xin suddenly yelled. Mu Li stopped at the door of the tent, and without turning around, she heard Mu Xin's voice drop in volume, and her tone was weak, "I was... ordered to investigate Andrew, I discovered an astonishing secret. I was not mature enough at the time, and I was spotted by Andrew and exposed my identity. As a last resort, Friesman ordered me to feign death and escape, so as to take care of the overall situation. In this way, our next plan can be carried out smoothly. I The scars on his face were left by the factory explosion."

Mu Li didn't speak.

"You were too young back then, I couldn't..."

"This is your excuse and reason?" Mu Li said lightly, "I don't care how much you have to do it, you want to show your ambition, that's fine. But please don't destroy my home, destroy me, Made me feel the pain of losing everything. What's the point of saying this now."

"I know that everything I say is like an excuse, but A Li..." Mu Xin's voice was filled with endless pain, as if she was trying to explain something, but the words became weaker and weaker, and she couldn't touch it no matter what. Not to Mu Li's heart.

"Let me go, sir!" Mu Li interrupted her loudly, and said with a sarcasm, "I'm tired, and I don't have the mind to care about things that have passed."

"A Li, I haven't finished my words yet!" Mu Xin stood up, intending to pull her.

Mu Li no longer intends to listen to what she has to say, he lifts the curtain, and quickly leaves.

Mu Xin paused on the spot, stretched out his hand to grab her, and it froze in mid-air, making nothing.Her wrinkled and veined hands trembled slightly, and finally drooped down.

"cough cough..."

There was a suppressed coughing sound from the tent.
