When we were less than one kilometer away from the edge of the fog.

Something unexpected happened.

Yi Hao saw countless marine creatures gathering together.

These deformed sea creatures did not attack them.

Instead, they gathered together to isolate him from the coast.

At this time, the oxygen in the oxygen bottle behind him had bottomed out.

He pointed at the school of fish and said to Feis:

"Brother, can you take me ashore?"

Feis looked at the fish in front of him and remained silent.

After a moment, he whispered, "If it's just me, then there will definitely be no problem."

"But if I take you with me, I won't be sure."

His figure constantly switches between illusion and reality.

Clearly ready for battle.

Lu Xiao and Shadow have also followed.

The three of them fell into silence as they looked at the fish in front of them.

They were not very worried about whether they could get ashore.

Shadow stepped forward and patted Yi Hao on the shoulder, signaling him to surface.

Yi Hao did not hesitate and surfaced directly.

Before Shadow could speak, Yi Hao's voice came out through the oxygen mask first.

His voice seemed a little dull:

"If I guess correctly, you are Mr. Shadow."

"Something's not right right now."

"There is another Warden on the shore. I am not sure who is the real Warden now."

Shadow narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"Don't worry, the one around us is real."

Yi Hao shook his head, obviously not quite agreeing with it.

However, he still made the decision to at least pass on the news.

And he had previously tried to upload it to the Prison Warden internal network through communication equipment.

But they seemed to have been cut off from the signal and could not connect to any network.

He couldn't be sure whether this was because of the foggy Trait, or whether it was because someone had deliberately cut off the signal.

Without conclusive evidence, it is impossible to tell which side is true.

Even Warden has revealed his identity code.

There is no way to confirm that he is the real Warden.

After all, this is something that can be queried.

His original plan was to go ashore first and then report the incident to the organization.

It's up to those at the top to judge.

Now it seems that he has no chance.

The Shadow in front of me seems to be the only way to transmit the information.

Even the identity of Shadow may not be reliable.

Yi Hao quickly informed Shadow of the order he received.

Shadow listened, his brows never lifted for a moment.

He quickly extracted the key points from Yi Hao's words.

"You mean, there are hundreds of Sacrificial Ones working with you on this mission?"

Yi Haozhong nodded.

Just when he was wondering why Shadow's focus was so strange.

Shadow broke off one of his fingers and handed it to him.

"Don't worry, things are not that simple."

"These hundreds of Sacrificial One may be the focus of the incident."

"You can effectively avoid contamination by holding my finger."

Yi Hao was doubtful as he took over the severed finger.

The oxygen in the bottle has also been completely consumed.

At this time, he had no choice but to believe what Shadow said.

After a while, the last bit of oxygen remaining in the mask was exhausted.

This made Yi Hao feel like he was about to suffocate.

He simply took off the oxygen mask.

Shadow seems to be waiting for this moment.

He frowned and said:

"You will tell me the whole process of meeting Warden in detail."

Yi Hao did not hesitate and directly began to describe the entire process of his interview with Warden.

Not even the details were spared.

While the two were talking, Warden and Lu Xiao also surfaced.

Listening to Yi Hao's description, Lu Xiao grinned and said:

"Old sir, have you thought about how to prove that you are who you are?"

Warden said with a very strange expression:

"You can't prove yourself."

"If you want to prove it, you must pass a series of evidence."

"The most important thing is the confirmation of others."

At this moment, Shadow interrupted Yi Hao's story.

He said in a deep voice:

"I heard a rough outline of your interview with Warden, but there was nothing of value."

"The only thing of any value is that the jailer is not by his side."

"But there are so many reasons for that."

He turned to look at Warden and said in a solemn tone:

"You said before that there was something in the mist that provoked you."

"And when we got deep into the fog, we didn't encounter any powerful creatures."

"So I estimate that the thing that provoked you must be you on the shore."

Warden nodded slightly and said:

"Yes, I think so too."

"It was only after I was provoked that I came up with the idea of going deep into the fog to investigate."

"I thought the one who provoked me was waiting for me in the mist."

"Then you and Lu Xiao came, and with the idea of giving Lu Xiao extra food, I made a suggestion to investigate the fog further."

Shadow nodded. Warden's identity is actually easy to confirm.

At least that's the case for him.

Just mention a few things from the past and you'll basically be sure.

But Shadow did not do this because there was no need.

He had roughly seen the plan of Warden on the shore.

Just like what Warden said to Lu Xiao just now.

If you want to prove that you are yourself, this proposition itself has loopholes.

There is no way to prove it yourself.

Even if you produce all the written materials to prove it, the other party can deny it all because of possible forgery.

The only way is through the evidence of familiar people.

It is difficult for Shadow to keep his identity public.

He may speak well at C03 Containment Facility, but at C01 Containment Facility, the only one who speaks most effectively is Warden.

People all hold a preconceived idea.

They will subconsciously choose to believe the first thing they see.

The fake Warden on the shore obviously took advantage of this condition.

Suddenly, Lu Xiao interjected:

"The solution to this matter is actually very simple."

Hearing his words, Warden and Shadow both looked at him.

Lu Xiao grinned:

"Just kill the one on the shore."

Hearing this, Shadow nodded lightly and said:

"You're talking about the ending, not the process."

"The impact of killing the fake one before Warden's identity is confirmed is difficult to estimate."

"The best result is that we are on the opposite side of C01 Containment Facility."

"And there's really no way to confirm his identity."

As he spoke, he pointed at Warden.

Warden nodded and said:

"So, the key is the hundreds of Sacrificial One."

"You can tell by listening to this Sacrificial One that these hundreds of Sacrificial One can almost represent the current four Containment Facility."

"If they come forward and say, I'm a liar."

"Then I'm fake."
