After the first exploration, Zhang Jue and Sam returned to the mansion from the fireplace.
While the two of them were undergoing a full body examination, Ning Suiyu, Old Downey, and Morris listened to the recording that Sam had made.
When they heard Zhang Jue singing "Eighteen Touches", Ning Suiyu covered his forehead with his hand. He didn't even have the strength to roll his eyes.
"Commander Ning, what's wrong?"
Although Morris and Old Downey could understand some of the lyrics, they didn't know much about Hua. They couldn't tell what was wrong with Zhang Jue's lyrics.
Ning Suiyu shook his head. "Forget it. Just record it."
By the time they had recorded the recording into text and backed it up, Zhang Jue and Sam had just finished their physical examinations.
So far, the two of them didn't have any abnormalities.
Ning Suiyu printed out the exploration record and gave a copy to everyone. The five of them sat together for the third round of assessment.
Morris was the first to speak. "Downey and I have read this record a few times. Based on the content of the dialogue, neither Mr. Zhang nor Sam made any mistakes. There shouldn't be any abnormalities like what happened to researcher Yu Hongbo."
Ning Suiyu frowned and said, "I heard researcher Sam call him Mr. Zhang a few times, and that 'murloc monster' also gave researcher Sam a nickname. Is that okay?"
Morris shook his head and said, "Actually, if you listen carefully, you'll know that Sam uses a different prefix when addressing Consultant Zhang. As for the nicknames given by the local entities, as long as you don't accept it like Researcher Yu Hongbo, it's generally not a problem."
Ning Suiyu nodded, but Zhang Jue raised his eyebrows. He seemed a little dissatisfied.
"Bro, what do you mean by 'just from the content of the dialogue'? Did I not do well in other areas? Did I sing out of tune?"
"Uh …" Morris paused for a moment, but he still followed his professional ethics and said, "Mr. Zhang, you have indeed done something wrong. For example, according to the Administration's records, you are not allowed to eat snacks in the 'dangerous forest.' You have to use a sincere tone when dealing with the local entities. You can't lie or belittle them. Uh, Mr. Zhang, I'm just stating the facts and not targeting you. You have already performed very well in your first entry, but if it's possible …"
This Morris was similar to site14's Simmons. They were both people who spoke their minds.
Zhang Jue didn't want to listen to him anymore. He could only wave his hand in surrender. "Okay, I admit my mistake. I promise that the next time I see them, I will be more polite and won't use words like 'idiot' or 'idiot', okay?"
Old Downey tried to smooth things over. "These are all minor details. It won't affect the overall situation. Let's analyze the information that Mr. Zhang brought back."
Ning Suiyu took out a pen from the pen holder and wrote a few lines of words in her notebook. Then, she circled them with the pen and placed them on the table.
"I've summarized a few points for everyone to discuss. First, according to the recording time, Mr. Zhang and Researcher Sam spent about three hours in the 'Be careful when you speak in the forest.' However, only one hour and thirty minutes passed in the real world. That is to say, for now, the flow of time in the forest is faster than the outside world. It's about a ratio of two to one."
"Not necessarily." Morris interrupted her. "According to the previous record, the time in the forest that Ms. Ning mentioned is sometimes fast and sometimes slow compared to the outside world. In the most extreme case, a researcher walked in the forest for nearly a week before he reached the 'only path', but only a few minutes passed in the outside world."
"Okay, then let's not talk about this for now. Let's continue."
Ning Suiyu crossed out the first point and pointed to the second one. "Mr. Zhang and Sam met two 'local' entities. Their conversation is very important. We need to hear it. First of all, I think the 'feathered guy' is worth paying attention to because it has a name. Like the kobold that Yu Hongbo met, he also mentioned the war. It seems that the war is the root cause of those entities moving to the 'Ferocious Forest.' It might even be the origin of the 'Dark Forest.' "
"I agree with Ms. Ning," Old Downey said. "According to the previous exploration records, although the entities in this' unnumbered land 'look strange, we can still learn from their words that they have been multiplying for many years. Until now, there are not many' people 'who remember the ancient war. Consultant Zhang, in the following exploration, if you encounter any local entities that know relevant information, you can take the opportunity to ask them a few more questions."
"Ah, I know."
In fact, Zhang Jue was also very curious about this point.
This was because he still remembered that in the last conversation between Yu Hongbo and the kobold they were looking for, they mentioned a word — factory.
The factory was one of the hostile forces of the Abnormal Creature Administration. It was founded by James Anderson and produced a large number of malicious abnormal products. Some of them had even flowed into human society and became the target of the Administration.
However, in Zhang Jue's impression, the factory had already been destroyed by the Administration, and James Anderson was dead. However, that should have been a long, long time ago.
If those animal entities were not lying, the war they mentioned might be related to the war that the Administration launched against the factory.
However, although he was curious, this was just a matter of convenience. The most important thing for him now was to find that damn kobold and then follow the clues to find Yu Hongbo.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Ning Suiyu continued, "Next, we'll talk about the 'strange-looking murloc' that Researcher Sam met. The kobold has been acting strangely recently. We can't tell if they met before or after Yu Hongbo's accident. However, I'm guessing that it should be after that. Because then, everything makes sense. "
Morris also wrote something in his notebook. He said, "No matter before or after, many clues show that most of the creatures in the 'Abnormal Forest' are friendly to humans. At least, they won't actively attack humans. However, the kobold that Yu Hongbo met seems to be deliberately scheming. Mr. Zhang, if you encounter the same entity again, you must be careful."
In fact, Zhang Jue already knew what was going on even without Morris's reminder.
The 'forest' had a spatial anomaly. It was already very strange that Yu Hongbo could meet the 'evil kobold' three times in a row.
