Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

After hearing Xiaoyue's words, Da Lei nodded: "Yes, how come I didn't notice that problem..."

After Da Lei finished speaking, he looked directly at Xiao Ce and asked, "Your Highness, what do you think?"

After hearing Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "Actually, this isn't hard to guess..."

Da Lei looked at Xiao Ce curiously after hearing what he said...

Xiao Ce then said to Da Lei, "Da Lei, it's very simple. Didn't Odin say before that when this thing was activated, the weather here turned red, and a strange frequency appeared? Obviously, those frequencies were attracting people or animals; they were all drawn to this thing..."

As he spoke, Xiao Ce pointed to the skeletons and began to say something.

"Look, there seems to be the skeleton of a giant fish inside..."

After hearing what Xiao Ce said, Da Lei nodded: "Your Highness, so you mean... these people just came here and died?"

After hearing Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded: "Not bad..."

Odin nodded: "That's right, Mr. Ce's analysis is very accurate... That's exactly it, that's exactly what I saw..."

Odin shrugged at Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, there haven't been any entrances nearby..."

Xiao Ce nodded, then said, "Alright, tell everyone to be careful, let's retreat!"

As soon as Xiao Ce said this...

Everyone present looked at Xiao Ce with surprise and disbelief, saying, "You've retreated? Mr. Ce, aren't you going to continue the investigation?"

"Your Highness, did you figure anything out from this place? Why are you just leaving like this?"

Xiao Ce nodded and said to Yin Pan'er, "That's right, as long as we know what this thing is used for, that's enough..."

Seeing Xiao Ce say this, Yin Pan'er asked curiously, "So, Your Highness, you know the purpose of this thing?"

Xiao Ce nodded first, then shook his head: "They probably know some things... but these are all just guesses... However, it's obvious there's nothing to explore on this island; they're just protecting this thing... As for what this thing is? Only the true owner, the one who possesses it, will know..."

Yin Pan'er nodded after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

Without saying another word, Xiao Ce began to call for everyone to retreat.

As everyone started walking back, Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, do you want to contact the other side?"

After hearing Yin Pan'er speak so directly, Xiao Ce smiled at her and said, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from you..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er was quite happy to see that he hadn't hidden anything.

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, you didn't come here to lie to me, did you?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er and then said, "There's really no need for me to lie to you! Besides, if I really wanted to contact them, you wouldn't object, would you..."

Yin Pan'er smiled and nodded: "Your Highness, so, have you made up your mind?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "Actually, we should have gained something from coming here... Besides, I don't think the people on the other side intend to harm me, so I think this is also an opportunity..."

"We're already here...and we're not really here for tourism...If we were, wouldn't it be too risky? We should at least get something out of this...otherwise, wouldn't we be leaving empty-handed..."

Seeing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er smiled at him and said, "Your Highness, just do what you want to do... I absolutely trust you..."

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled, then pinched her cheek and said, "As expected of my woman..."

Yin Pan'er blushed when she heard Xiao Ce say that.

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, you seem much more relaxed to me..."

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right, because I have a vague idea of ​​what I'm going to be facing..."

Although Yin Pan'er didn't understand, she simply followed Xiao Ce back.

Before they reached the entrance to the secret chamber, Xiao Ce looked at the director.

The director noticed that Xiao Ce was looking at him.

He said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Xiao Ce, is there anything I can help you with?"

Xiao Ce smiled at the director and then said, "Come down with me, I need to ask the other side..."

The director was astonished when he heard Xiao Ce's words.

He had assumed that Xiao Ce wouldn't go.

Because when he told Xiao Ce yesterday, he had already politely declined.

He never expected that he would want to go again now.

Xiao Ce noticed that the director remained silent for a long time without giving a reply.

Xiao Ce then said to the director, "Director, what's wrong? You're not willing?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the director shook his head repeatedly: "Of course not... willing... willing... naturally willing..."

Without wasting words, Xiao Ce said to the director, "Alright, let's go downstairs. The rest of you can stay here..."

Da Lei was the first to step forward, looking at Xiao Ce with a worried expression, and said, "Your Highness, I definitely want to go down with you..."

Xiao Ce saw that Da Lei was so confident.

He looked at Yin Pan'er again.

Before Xiao Ce could speak, Yin Pan'er said to him, "Your Highness, I'll do whatever you say..."

Xiao Ce looked at Da Lei and said, "Look...look..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Da Lei said, "I have to protect you..."

Upon hearing Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce smiled and raised an eyebrow: "Do you think you can protect me in this godforsaken place?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Da Lei smiled, then waved his hand and said, "It does seem a bit difficult..."

Xiao Ce said to Da Lei, "That's settled then. You just need to protect Pan'er well..."

At this moment, the director said to Xiao Ce, "Should our technicians come down with you?"

Xiao Ce waved his hand and said to the director, "No need, you can just come down with me..."

The director nodded, then said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, should we prepare some food and water to take down?"

Xiao Ce was stunned when the director asked him that question.

"What do you mean? Didn't you say you didn't need to eat or drink?"

The director said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Xiao Ce, I don't need it, but you might... in case... that door suddenly closes..."

Upon hearing the director's words, Xiao Ce's group became tense.

The director quickly added, "What if... I mean, what if? And this 'what if' is something that's almost impossible..."

Hearing what the director said, Yin Pan'er and the others became worried.

Xiao Ce waved his hand and said, "No need, that's too much trouble... Besides, if we're really locked up inside, a day or two's worth of food won't solve anything. Don't worry..."

Then Xiao Ce said to Da Lei, "Go get me that computer..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Da Lei nodded and handed Xiao Ce the military laptop that Thomson had brought from his side.

Xiao Ce picked up his laptop and headed downstairs...

Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er and the others, "In case I get locked up inside, you all need to leave immediately..."

Before Xiao Ce could finish speaking, Yin Pan'er used her slender fingers to cover Xiao Ce's mouth.

Then, turning to Xiao Ce, he said, "I won't allow you to say such unlucky things..."

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded.

He was indeed superfluous; Yin Pan'er stayed with him and listened to him the whole time.

This made Xiao Ce realize that Yin Pan'er really was just a pretty face...

When Xiao Ce was not around, Yin Pan'er was very capable.

"Okay, you're right... I'll come out safe and sound..."

Yin Pan'er nodded.

She was very determined, though she didn't say it, she was absolutely certain of it...

If Xiao Ce is in any danger, she will do everything in her power to rescue him.

Not much to say.

Xiao Ce carried his laptop and headed straight for the cave, then walked towards the secret chamber.

The director followed behind Xiao Ce, a faint smile always on his face.

To be honest, Xiao Ce didn't think much of it at first.

But being laughed at by this person sent chills down Xiao Ce's spine...

Xiao Ce said to the director, "Director, what are you doing? Say something, don't look at me like that... I'm scared..."

The director then waved his hand at Xiao Ce and said, "Mr. Xiao Ce, please don't misunderstand. I just admire you!"

When asked this question by the director, Xiao Ce replied with some curiosity, "Admire me?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the director nodded and then said to Xiao Ce, "Indeed, Mr. Xiao Ce, I admire you... You have a lot of guts. Even if you were imprisoned inside, and given the orders they gave us, if I were to act against you, I really would... Under such circumstances, you still dared to send messages to the other side..."

Xiao Ce smiled at the director and then said, "What's the big deal... However, it's not that I have the guts, but rather that I'm confident that in a one-on-one situation, you're no match for me..."

The director smiled and nodded: "However, I don't think the people at the opposite base will harm you..."

Xiao Ce smiled and continued, "I hope so... If you decide to attack me then, I will absolutely not hold back..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the director smiled and nodded, "I know... I probably wouldn't harm you..."

As the two chatted and laughed, they soon arrived at the secret chamber underground.

Upon arriving at the entrance, the director noticed that Xiao Ce did not go in first.

He knew what was going on, so he went inside first.

Xiao Ce followed closely behind, and then went to the old-fashioned computer again.

After Xiao Ce arrived at the computer, he glanced at the screen.

The screen still showed the same messages as before.

"Don't they have any surveillance cameras around here?"

The director shook his head: "I'm not quite sure either...it shouldn't be...but they seem to know a lot about us..."

Xiao Ce nodded after hearing what the director said.

Xiao Ce took out the keyboard and was about to type.

After seeing Xiao Ce's actions, the director looked at him with suspicion and asked, "Mr. Xiao Ce, do you know how to use this?"

Xiao Ce nodded and said, "That's right... What's wrong?"

The director gave an awkward smile and said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Xiao Ce, are you really unaware of the base? Or are you really not a member of that base?"

Upon hearing what the director said, Xiao Ce smiled helplessly and then said, "Do I look like someone from the base?"

The director shook his head: "It's not that it looks like it..."

Xiao Ce smiled at the director and then said, "Alright, I'm not from any base... That's the truth, there's no need for me to lie to you..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the director smiled and nodded.

Then he said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Xiao Ce, if it's possible, could you take us with you later?"

Xiao Ce nodded to the director: "If I could do that... then of course I could..."

The director nodded and said gratefully to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Xiao Ce, thank you... But, did you agree so readily? Don't you need to ask me what I can do for you?"

After hearing the director's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "I've saved many people. I never save people expecting anything in return; I just want to do good deeds..."

When the director heard Xiao Ce say that, his expression of admiration for Xiao Ce grew even stronger.

"Mr. Xiao Ce, you can continue with your work..."

Xiao Ce walked up to the old-fashioned computer.

He was very nervous, rubbed his hands together, and then started typing.

Xiao Ce thought for a long time, but didn't know how to begin.

But for some inexplicable reason, Xiao Ce directly typed "Are you there?" into the computer.

The director, looking completely bewildered, asked Xiao Ce after he typed the word, "Mr. Xiao Ce, do you even know who's on the other end? You're just starting like this?"

Xiao Ce gave an awkward smile: "I don't know...it's alright..."

The director whispered to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Xiao Ce, you don't need to keep an eye on them... They won't reply instantly... It always takes some time..."

After hearing the director's words, Xiao Ce asked with some curiosity, "Oh? How long does it usually take for them to reply when you communicate with them?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the director smiled and said, "It's hard to say. Sometimes it takes one or two days, sometimes it might take ten days to half a month!"

Upon hearing what the director said, Xiao Ce's eyes widened immediately, and he exclaimed, "What?! It's been this long?"
