“I believe that.” Alice stared into Occam’s eyes for a long time before she spoke.
“Huh! Do you really believe it?”
Occam froze. He had not expected Alice to believe him.
After all, he felt that the truth was nonsensical. How could anyone believe him?
“Do you really believe what he said?” Matt looked at Alice and wondered.
Occam’s reason was too crazy. It did not sound reliable!
Even a three-year-old child would not believe such a reason.
How could a student accidentally enter a research institute that was so heavily guarded that even their organization could not enter?
Who was he kidding?!
“If he’s lying, there’s no way he would find a reason that had lots of loopholes,” Alice looked Occam in the eye and spoke flatly.
As a female agent, she had basic professionalism. She could not tell from Occam’s gaze that he was lying.
What Occam had been doing all along was reminding everyone of the danger.
However, no one believed him.
Even if Occam was really lying, did it matter?
As long as he was not a threat to them and could still help them, even if he lied, was it important?
Who did not lie in their lives?
How could they be agents if they did not lie?
Here, there was only one goal: to survive.
As for Occam’s identity, it was not important.
“Alright! I believe you too,” Matt hesitated before he spoke too.
He had just revealed his identity as a fake policeman. What right did he have to talk about others?
Occam had done nothing to harm them.
He even reminded them many times to save them.
In that case, no matter how ridiculous this reason was, what was there to lose by believing it?
After figuring everything out, Matt was willing to believe Occam for once.
“Oh?!”
Occam had not expected them to believe him. Now that they unexpectedly believed him, he did not know what to say.
“Since you know so much, do you know how to leave this place?” Alice changed the subject and asked.
“I don’t know,” Occam said bluntly.
Alice and Matt looked disappointed.
It seemed that this Occam did not know everything. They were probably going to die here.
“But…”
Occam thought for a moment.
“But what?”
The two of them, who were originally unable to get out, were completely disappointed. Hearing Occam’s words, they immediately gained hope.
They looked at Occam expectantly.
Humans were like that. The more desperate they were, the more they would not let go of any hope.
Just like a drowning person, even if they knew that there was a straw floating above their heads, they would still desperately reach out to grab it.
This was the survival instinct of humans.
“As the main system of the entire hive, the Red Queen controls all the tunnels in the base. If she can seal all the exits, she will definitely know where the exit is.”
Occam recalled the plot. He vaguely remembered that the Red Queen knew of a maintenance tunnel that led away from the hive.
However, he did not know the exact location.
He could only restart the Red Queen and ask her.
“Then what are we waiting for?”
Alice looked at Occam, the hope of life rekindling in her eyes.
Since they had no way out and the computer knew the way out, was there a need to think?
Of course, they went to restart the computer.
Alice grabbed a folding chair and looked at Occam.
In the control room…
“Bang bang bang!”
There was a lot of banging behind the metal door.
