But the way he looked at Zhao Heyan, he didn't seem to be joking at all.
You know, Zhao Hesheng is the mortal enemy of all the students of Hongye Naval Academy.
But that guy’s biological sister, Zhao Heyan, the daughter of the Tianxing Group, actually concealed her identity and studied at the Hongye Naval Academy?
And he's the student council president?
Could this be a conspiracy by the Tianxing Group to infiltrate the Red Leaf Naval Academy?
Seeing Lin Lan's eyes suddenly turned cold, Zhao Heyan smiled helplessly and explained slowly:
"Senior Lin, I am different from my father and my brother. I have always
I am a staunch naval supporter. It was my own choice to enroll in the Red Leaf Naval Academy. It had nothing to do with them."
"I only found out about my father and my brother persecuting students at the Naval Academy after I enrolled. That's why I joined the Student Union and secretly gathered intelligence within the Tianxing Consortium to prevent my classmates from getting hurt further..."
"Senior Lin can ask Teacher Ji about this. He can testify."
After hearing Zhao Heyan's sincere words, Lin Lan looked at the enterprise standing next to him.
And Qiye nodded slightly to him, indicating that Zhao Heyan did not lie.
"If that's the case, then why are you telling me all this? I will never let your brother Zhao Hesheng go, and it's useless for you to plead with me."
After learning Zhao Heyan's true identity, Lin Lan was no longer as polite as before.
Although Zhao Heyan has indeed always performed her duties conscientiously as the president of the student union, Zhao Hesheng is her twin brother after all.
The number of students from the Red Leaf Naval Academy who died in accidents created by Zhao Hesheng is probably approaching three digits. He cannot bear the humiliation if he doesn't kill that psychopath before leaving the United States of Oran.
Just because he could let the killer go doesn't mean he would let Zhao Hesheng go.
"My brother...well, I'm not pleading for him."
Zhao Heyan saw that Lin Lan's tone was obviously hostile, so he hurriedly said:
"Senior Lin, I have watched the emergency news broadcast just now. I fully support you in disbanding the Zhuhai Business Association, but I have something I must tell you."
"Something seems to be wrong inside the Tianxing Group. My father seems to have become a different person during this period. I'm worried that he will do something bad to you."
After hearing Zhao Heyan's anxious words, Lin Lan was disdainful at first.
It's normal for Zhao Tianyi to want to harm him. He has made the Zhuhai Commercial Association exist in name only. It's impossible for Zhao Tianyi to be happy.
What's worth telling him about this?
But the next second he realized that things were not that simple.
As the leader of the five major consortiums that established the Zhuhai Chamber of Commerce, the Tianxing Consortium was most likely under the control of the Siren over the years, according to what Jian Qianou had explained to him in the morning at the Red Leaf Fortress.
It was Zhao Tianyi who forced Jian Qianou to join the Zhuhai Business Association.
You must know that as a soul body, Jian Qianou has innate advantages when facing ordinary people in Oran. It is basically impossible for ordinary people to coerce Jian Qianou.
He originally thought that Zhao Tianyi had reached some agreement with the Siren, or was being used by the Siren.
But what Zhao Heyan said suddenly reminded him that there seemed to be a possibility that he had overlooked.
That is Zhao Tianyi, the director of the Tianxing Group and the controller of the Zhuhai Chamber of Commerce. Could it be that he is actually disguised as a high-level Siren?
Don't forget, the observer's specialty is to perfectly disguise himself as someone else, so that even the ship girls can't tell whether it's real or fake.
In a Tanabata event early in the game, the observer could even disguise himself as Xiangfeng and sneak into his port area, encountering many ship girls along the way without being discovered.
Even the ship girls cannot tell the authenticity of the observer pretending to be the object, let alone the ordinary people in this different world.
And Lin Lan thought carefully
, I feel more and more that this possibility is extremely high.
After all, if the Siren wanted to gain deeper control over the United States of Oran and promote their experiments, using this trick of replacing Zhao Tianyi with a cat for a prince would definitely be the most efficient way.
However, just in case, Lin Lan still patiently asked Zhao Heyan:
"You said Zhao Tianyi has become a different person recently. Do you remember when he started to change?"
After hearing his question, Zhao Heyan thought for a moment and recalled:
"In fact, as early as ten years ago, when my father was dug out from the rubble and learned that my mother had died in the rubble, his entire personality changed a lot."
"Although many people said that he had seen through everything and wanted to change Orlan from the bottom of his heart, and even established the Zhuhai Business Association, I felt at the time that my father was no longer the same as before. There was always a faint sense of strangeness..."
"But every time I felt something was wrong, he could always tell me a lot of past events to dispel my doubts."
"Until about a month ago, when he attended my and my brother's birthday party, his temperament suddenly changed drastically."
"Not only did he make me feel very strange, but his gaze was also very cold and chilling, just like..."
"It's like a siren, right?"
Lin Lan took over Zhao Heyan's words at the end, sighed deeply and said.
Looking at Zhao Heyan who was staring at him with wide eyes, at this moment, he was completely sure that Zhao Tianyi was definitely the high-level Siren - the observer in disguise.
In other words, at least a month ago, Zhao Tianyi was disguised as the Observer himself.
Chapter 399: Huanyang City Mystery
Lin Lan knew very well that the reason why the observer's disguise could be so perfect was because the observer could simulate real emotions towards each observed object.
Through Zhao Heyan's description, he had roughly guessed that Zhao Tianyi had probably been replaced by the observer when he was dug out from the ruins ten years ago.
Moreover, Zhao Tianyi's sudden change in personality a month ago made him more determined.
Because it was during this month that the observer himself came to Yunhai City and kidnapped him.
The current Zhao Tianyi might be a mass-produced disguise of other high-level Sirens or Observers, which is why his personality has changed drastically and he can no longer disguise himself perfectly.
"You mean Siren... But how could that be? But that aura really seems to be similar to Siren..."
Seeing that Zhao Heyan in front of them had his eyes wide open and was in deep confusion, both Lin Lan and the other White Eagle ship girls had a hint of pity in their eyes.
For so many years, it turned out that my biological father was actually a Siren in disguise. This truth is too cruel for anyone to know.
"No, no, I have to go back to Tianxing headquarters in Huanyang City. I have to confirm whether he is my father."
After several seconds, Zhao Heyan came to his senses, looked at Lin Lan, and said in a hoarse voice.
Although she said this, Zhao Heyan already had her own answer in her heart.
Yes, according to normal people's logic, how could they suppress the Navy Department that protected Orlan for so many years, and how could they allow the third-generation robots to get out of control and cause the current situation?
However, after hearing what Zhao Heyan said, Lin Lan also started to ponder it in his mind.
"Huanyang City..."
At this moment, he was worried that he could not find the Siren's Mirror Sea and the main engine of the Rubik's Cube Energy Robot. Now that he knew that the advanced Siren might be in Huanyang City, could he find a breakthrough from Huanyang City?
It takes two days to travel from Hongye City to Huanyang City. If you take the White Eagle mass-produced destroyer, the time can be shortened to one and a half days.
Otherwise, why not go to Huanyang City before returning to Xinyang City?
Lin Lan felt that it would be better to discuss this with the ladies on his White Eagle ship.
"Thank you for providing this information. President Zhao, please be careful when you return to Huanyang City. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
After figuring it out, the coldness in Lin Lan's eyes faded a lot when he looked at Zhao Heyan.
After all, Zhao Heyan didn't need to tell him these things.
Since the other party told him everything, it meant that he really trusted him, and it also proved to him that he and Zhao Hesheng were not the same kind of people.
"Well... that's it. Senior Lin, the future of Oran is in your hands."
After Zhao Heyan took a deep breath and finished speaking, he also took a quick look at the White Eagle ship girls following Lin Lan.
For some reason, she always felt that these ship girls were completely different from their Orlan ship girls, as if they really had emotions.
She once heard her classmates discuss a hypothesis that the richer the emotions of a ship girl and the more human-like she is, the stronger she will be.
Although this statement has not been confirmed yet, after seeing the ship girls around Lin Lan, she actually believed it vaguely.
This is the statement.
Perhaps, only these ship girls can truly fight against the Sirens.
After that, Lin Lan said goodbye to Zhao Heyan and continued to walk towards the dock with the White Eagle ship girls.
Night had fallen completely, but the heavy snow in the sky had not decreased. A layer of snow had accumulated on the ground, and every step left a footprint.
"Commander, do we need to go to Huanyang City next?"
As they were about to arrive at the dock, Qiye looked at Lin Lan inquiringly and asked.
They heard everything Zhao Heyan said just now, and the company has keenly realized that Huanyang City is very likely to be the breakthrough point for the current situation.
They are not afraid of fighting the Sirens head-on, but they are afraid that the Sirens will hide and play hide-and-seek with them.
After Enterprise finished speaking, Georgia, who had already opened a bottle of Coke, also said thoughtfully:
"If the high-level Siren is really in Huanyang City, then there is a high probability that there are Siren bases and mirror seas around it. It is not impossible that it can accommodate the host of the Rubik's Cube Energy Robot."
Looking at Georgia who didn't forget to drink Coke even in such a cold day, Lin Lan's mouth twitched slightly.
But what Georgia and Enterprise said was right. Since they got such an important clue, it would be unreasonable not to take a look.
Thinking of this, he turned around, looked at the White Eagle Ship girls and asked:
"Do you have enough ammunition and oil?"
"If the commander is worried about this, there is no need to worry. I provide ammunition and oil trading services. There is no upper limit."
Upon hearing Lin Lan's question, before the company could answer, Mingshi, a small profiteer who smelled a business opportunity, jumped up and laughed.
Well, it seems that in the game, Akashi Store does provide a service of using red tip krypton oil, although this is a bit too luxurious.
But it is obvious that it is okay for Akashi to make money from Lin Lan, but the wealthy White Eagle Ship Girl does not need Akashi to provide value-added services.
“Bang!” “Ah meow! It hurts meow!”
Mori, who was behind Akashi, laughed secretly and hit Akashi on the head with a knife, causing this small profiteer to feel pain. He covered his head and squatted on the ground, screaming.
"Commander, you can rest assured. We have already carried enough ammunition and oil on the artificial island before the attack. It will not be a problem to carry out another large-scale operation."
When Qiye saw that Mori had suppressed Akashi's arrogance, a smile appeared on his face and he reported to Lin Lan.
"That's right, Commander. Today, apart from firing my main gun twice at sea, I didn't have a good time in the city. I was so constrained that I almost got sick."
The one who was talking was Washington. Today in Hongye City, her battleship's main guns had never had a chance to fire, which made her feel very regretful.
After listening to Washington's words, Lin Lan looked at the other White Eagle ship girls, and no one had any objection.
After all, they were originally there to protect the commander, so they would definitely follow the commander wherever he went.
"Okay, then it's decided. Let's go to Huanyang City first to see what kind of person the boss of Tianxing Financial Group is."
After deciding on the next itinerary, Lin Lan and others also arrived at the deserted pier.
At this time, besides a few
Apart from the Navy's pawn ship girl standing guard, there was no one else.
Lin Lan returned to the White Eagle mass-produced destroyer parked at the dock, and the young engineer Ingraham came out to greet him with a wrench in his hand.
"Commander, you're back."
Seeing the little Lolita with short hair and black-framed glasses wearing a black and green jacket, Lin Lan smiled and picked her up, rubbing her face at the same time.
"Yeah, I'm afraid you'll be lonely, so I brought everyone back without spending the night in the city."
"Humph, I'm not lonely..."
Although Ingraham's tone was calm, the lack of resistance and the blush on her face revealed her true thoughts.
After coaxing Ingraham for a while and putting him down, he was just about to ask Ingraham if there was any new progress on the Rubik's Cube Energy Robot today when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Unlike the other White Eagle ship girls' cell phones which required signals to be used, New Jersey told him that this cell phone of his was on a special channel to prevent interference.
Therefore, when the power supply of the signal tower in Hongye City has not been restored, only New Jersey or Xiao Gaga can call him.
He took out his phone and saw that the caller ID showed an emoticon: ω.
Well, he already knew who was calling.
"Hello? Is this New Jersey?"
