People are singing in the tide, but there is no crown

With Ling An leading the way, the usually dangerous swamp suddenly became quiet.

Jiu Yue followed behind Ling An with a somewhat unnatural look on her face.

"What's wrong with you?" Ling An asked.

"Nothing." September shook his head, "I just thought of my wife."

Ling An looked at him curiously and said nothing more.

This expression, and the person who would be mentioned at this time.

Often they are no longer there.

He could understand September.

People are like this, everyone has something hidden in their heart.

Normally, everything is fine.

But once you enter a certain environment, or something brings back memories.

The past will be like a tide, rushing out of your heart.

In the fog, they moved towards the first coordinate.

"Patrol Officer Ling An, have you ever heard of the story of the bird of prey?"

"Yeah, I just understood."

"Sometimes I wonder if the residual elephants are really so different from humans. I know that as a researcher, it's wrong for me to be so sentimental, but if the Sighing Bird is really like what the villagers say, then doesn't it have emotions like humans... can it feel happy or sad?"

Jiu Yue seemed to have encountered a problem and wanted to find an answer from Ling An.

"Remnant elephants... do have feelings." After thinking for a moment, Ling An replied.

"Really? Is there any data support or research case?" Jiu Yue asked quickly.

In front, Ling An shook his head.

"I can't tell you why, but afterimages can develop feelings, I'm sure of that."

Ling An was certainly sure.

Because he is the afterimage.

"Okay, Captain Ling An, I have to confess something to you." Jiu Yue suddenly said.

Ling An turned around and looked at him: "Go ahead."

"I want to apologize to you for stopping you from attacking Ai Shengying earlier." Jiu Yue said sincerely.

"There's no need. For me it's just a small time difference." Ling An told the truth.

Besides, he was not 100% sure at that time whether killing the Sorrowful Bird directly would dispel the fog.

Now that we have the suppression device left by Ji Ting, why not do it?

September continued, "From a researcher's perspective, I have a selfish motive. After I first heard the story of the Sighing Bird of Prey, I have been curious. I want to know the answer about it - a remnant elephant."

He was silent for a moment, then continued, "Or rather, I can vaguely sense that it has also lost something important... Sorry, as a researcher I am becoming sentimental again..."

"You don't have to apologize." Ling An waved his hand.

September is good in every way, except that people are too polite.

"You know, when you can't judge something with your existing experience, it's better to change other angles."

"What do you mean?" September asked in surprise.

"Just watch."

Ling An stood still in the swamp, the first suppression device.

Arrived.

Based on the research data, September quickly activated the suppression device.

He reminded: "Patrol Officer Ling An, once the suppression device is activated, the energy fluctuations will attract a continuous stream of residual images. During this period, we need your help to guard it."

Ling An nodded and looked around silently.

Rays of energy spread out from the suppression device in all directions.

Jiu Yue quickly hid aside, waiting for the remaining elephant to be attracted.

One minute, two minutes...

Ten minutes passed.

Not even a trace of an elephant could be seen in the fog.

Ling An looked at Jiu Yue in confusion.

But there was also a look of confusion on September's face.

With a click, the fluctuations of the suppression device gradually stabilized.

The fog covering the Marsh of Blaming Birds was visibly weakened.

September appeared from his hiding place, and a light suddenly flashed across his puzzled face.

"I know, it must be because you, Patrol Officer Ling An, are too strong!"

"Huh?" Ling An was puzzled.

"Yes, there is often a sense of survival and territory between afterimages, even if they are attracted by the energy fluctuations of the suppression device."

"So what you mean is that the remaining elephant was scared away before it even saw me?" Ling An looked helpless.

"Yes, that's what I mean. The power and threat emanating from you far outweigh the attraction of the energy fluctuations of the suppression device to them." September affirmed.

"Okay." Ling An sighed and looked at the remaining two coordinates.

September has a point.

Having swallowed up half of the power of the Wuxiang Xianzhu, he has already surpassed the other remnants by far in terms of not only strength.

Especially the afterimages below the Raging Tide level.

in short.

They are not even qualified to meet the king.

"Wait a minute, there is an electronic log of a former researcher left in the suppression device. Let me take a look."

Jiu Yue discovered a new clue and quickly reminded.

"The Sorrowful Bird has rushed into the fog many times carrying high-energy reactants, and after it left, its vital signs would be significantly weakened!"

There was a look of surprise in September's eyes.

"Patrol Captain Ling An, you see, the Sighing Bird is not simply going crazy. According to the researchers' previous observations, it seems to be doing something!"

"I think we found a clue."

Ling An looked at the remaining two coordinates and smiled indifferently.

The activation of the remaining two inhibitors was as uneventful as the first.

With Ling An in charge, no remaining elephant dared to approach.

September also successfully read the remaining electronic logs from the remaining suppression devices.

"Both logs indicate that the Screaming Bird of Prey circled and landed at the place where the other bird-like remnant died, wailing, he said..."

Jiu Yue raised his head, his eyes sparkling. "He believes that the behavior of the Sighing Vultures breaks our established understanding of residual images. Their dancing behavior is not imitating a certain biological nature, but like humans, they have real souls!"

"I agree with your point of view." Ling An said lightly.

Suddenly, he looked not far away.

A ghostly blue shadow floated past them.

"It's a ghost, Patrol Captain Ling An, let's chase it!" Jiu Yue said excitedly when he saw the ghost reappear.

The ghost didn't seem to be afraid of humans, or Ling An.

It floated in front, as if guiding the two people.

Following the ghost's route, an underground base appeared in front of the two.

"It's the temporary research site of the former Yuanniaoze!" Jiu Yue said excitedly, and then a puzzled look appeared on his face, "Why did the ghost bring us here?"

As a strange phenomenon unique to Yuanniaoze, the reason for the appearance of ghosts remains a mystery.

He took out the terminal and approached the ghost.

This time, the transcription program finally worked.

A faint voice came from the terminal.

"I am... dead... I cannot be resurrected... Let... give up..."

The ghost shadow trembled, gradually began to dissipate, and the terminal began to freeze again.

Jiu Yue clapped her hands, and the last sentence came from the terminal:

"I...love...love you..."
