"You, who are you?"
Lin Ao was surprised to see Elizabeth wearing a cook's clothes and a mask.
"Let's go somewhere quiet to talk. I know a good place."
"Oh? Let's go then."
Lin Ao found it novel that Elizabeth, who was originally under semi-house arrest, actually found an interesting place on the ship. The two of them walked in silence like a shy couple, but their hearts were filled with emotions. Their eyes were looking in other directions, but they were thinking about each other. It was night at the moment, and the corridor inside the ship was very quiet. Only the footsteps of two people could be heard. Most of the light sources were turned off for maintenance, which was rare. Lin Ao felt like he was walking on a quiet and dark avenue, and he was thinking a lot. A scene from a movie.
After walking for about ten minutes, we finally arrived at her good place. It turns out that this is the end of a corridor. There happens to be a circular window here, and the angle is just right for a beam of moonlight to come in. Someone left a box of props for maintenance here, just enough for two people to sit down.
"call…"
Under the moonlight, Elizabeth took off her mask, revealing her white face, and her blue eyes glowed like gems under the light at this time.
"sit down."
Elizabeth found a piece of cloth to spread on the box and sat down, and Lin Ao sat down without any fuss.
"that."
"that."
"You go first."
"No, you go first."
Elizabeth smiled: "I heard you broke through the atmosphere, are you okay?"
Lin Ao shook his head: "Thanks for meeting the friends I met before, otherwise I would have been burned into a pile of rotten flesh."
"That's good... I found this place last night and prayed to the moonlight, hoping that you could come back safely. I didn't expect you to come back today. That's great!"
Lin Ao smiled happily and asked: "So, what's your situation now? You can move freely on the ship? Why are you wearing a cook's clothes?"
Elizabeth looked at the cuffs that were a little dirty due to Bai's work: "Captain Li Youde now allows me to move around freely, at the cost of letting me help everyone. I really didn't know that working in the kitchen would be so tiring."
"Why is this like this! I'll go and talk to him!"
Elizabeth waved her hands quickly; "No! I'm very happy! After all, I asked this ship to come to Earth. Anything can happen along the way, so I hope I can help everyone."
"Is that so...you are such a nice person, and you don't have any bodyguards following you now?"
"I have to go back to my room on time at night, and there will be a person guarding the door, but it doesn't matter."
After finishing speaking, there was another silence, so quiet that one could hear the wind outside the boat. Lin Ao quickly filtered through various topics that could be discussed in his mind. When he finally found one, Elizabeth spoke first.
"What would you like to do if the war ended?"
"Me? I used to think very simply, go back to the place where I grew up, West Asia. Be a chef there, or teach poor children to read like my parents. But... I don't think so now."
"Why?"
"I want to continue to protect you after the war is over, I..."
Before Lin Ao finished, he saw Elizabeth's cheeks turned red, and he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
"Ah, what I mean is to protect you from being attacked by the radical HER remnants. After all, what you want to do is to destroy their ambition to unify the earth sphere."
"Thanks…"
Under the desert moonlight, boys and girls blushed, half embarrassed and half enjoying the silence. It’s just that some people said they couldn’t stand it anymore.
"Hey! Lin Ao!"
Natasha got out and followed him all the way. When Elizabeth saw that the person coming was the person who had treated her badly yesterday, she immediately hid behind Lin Ao. Lin Ao protected Elizabeth with his hands and asked, "Natasha!? Are you eavesdropping?"
Natasha pointed at Elizabeth rudely: "Yes! I eavesdropped, but you actually brought HER's princess to the ship?! Do you know what you are doing? Do you want her to stop HER's invasion? Don't You’re kidding, she’ll kill us!”
"It's not what you think, Natasha! Elizabeth has no ill intentions towards us. She really wants the war to end."
"End the war? Rely on her? Are you confused? Even if she is a princess, she can't do it!"
Elizabeth took a step forward: "I don't want the cruel war started by my father to continue. I will call on my people to cease the war at the international conference!"
"Huh?? That's it? It will only lead to more disputes! Lin Ao, she is so similar to my sister. She speaks loudly, but all she thinks about is power! She just wants to use you!"
"No! Elizabeth risked her life to find the Osiris!"
"That's enough! I'm going to find Sergeant Bart and lock her up!"
"It's useless! This matter has been approved by Major General Shepard, Li Youde and Anton!"
"Are you crazy? Damn, I'm really on the wrong boat. I won't protect the enemy princess, and this enemy wants to burn down the African rainforest and poison the rivers!"
"What!?"
Seeing Elizabeth's expression of disbelief, Natasha became even more excited.
"Why don't you know? Your country's soldiers are going to do good things. They have poisoned the rivers in Africa, and our next mission is to stop them from burning down the Congolese rainforest."
"Is hers real?"
Elizabeth asked Lin Ao in a wavering tone, and Lin Ao nodded helplessly.
"Why would they do this?"
"You HER don't care about his life or death at all. If you really think you can arouse the conscience of your people with just two words, why not try first to see if you can use your tongue to stop the evil deeds of the African HER army!"
"No, this is too dangerous!" Lin Ao denied.
"You also know that she can't do it, right? This is all ridiculous! I want to..."
Before Natasha could finish, she felt the ground shaking and heard a harsh sound like metal rubbing against each other.
"What is this! An earthquake?" Natasha asked.
"No...this vibration seems to be coming from the ship, and it's very close to us...could it be!?"
Lin Ao remembered something, made a gesture to signal Natasha and Elizabeth not to move, and ran towards a warehouse not far away. Just as he ran to the door of the warehouse, Anton and Edward, who were also panicked, rushed over.
"Did you guess it too?"
Anton and Edward nodded. Anton stepped forward and said, "This warehouse also contains the relics found in Europe. Since the source of the vibration is in this room, it must have been caused by him. Edward, please inform the captain and tell him to do a good job." Inform everyone to prepare to evacuate.”
"Will it explode!?" Edward was startled.
"The devil knows, but I'm worried about what kind of weapons are inside it. I'm going in. Lin Ao, you guard the door. I..."
Before Anton could finish, the ground suddenly shook violently. Anton sat down on the ground, but the shaking and harsh sound also stopped. Lin Ao was afraid that something would happen again, so he entered the room for Lieutenant Anton.
"Lin Ao, please be more careful!"
Lin Ao tiptoed, not daring to breathe, and walked into the warehouse because he saw thick smoke coming out of the place where the relics were placed, and it might even be poisonous. Just as he was about to get there, a pitch-black sphere rolled out of the triangular body of the heirloom...
