Deep Sea Diary [Another World]

Professor Linton stroked his chest and took a couple of breaths. Then, with a blushing old face, he whispered a few words through his teeth: "Are you helping me or cheating me?!"

Gerald lowered his eyes, looked at the hands clasped on his knees, and said without any tone or emotion: "I am originally a neutral party, entrusted to do things, and judging right from wrong is not within the scope of my duties."

"Oh? Neutral?" Professor Linton squinted at him, his expression half vigilant, half suspicious, "Then why didn't you just send the message back, instead came to ask me, and reminded me to think it over?"

"Because these 5 minutes are not counted as working time." Gerald moved his clasped fingers instead of shrugging his shoulders.

"Hey——" Shen Lan didn't like Gerrard at all, and if he stayed in a room for a second, his annoyance would become deeper. He heard the two people talking back and forth, and couldn't help saying: "Don't be there on your own. Talk to yourself, no one can understand!"

"Here are three 'companions' who are 'obviously unaware' waiting for an explanation." Dennis continued after Dark Blue and added accents on the words "obviously unaware" and "companion", showing that A thick sarcasm and anger.

Gerald looked up at him, but he didn't take the initiative to raise his head. Instead, he turned the cuff of his white coat to the side, revealing the dial of the watch on his wrist.This seemed to be the first time Xia Chuan and the others saw something related to time after they came to this ship.

"Unfortunately, there is still one and a half minutes, you have to hurry up." Gerald looked at his watch, and reminded Professor Linton by pointing to the low table.

"My God! Why is it usually so slow? It's like riding a rocket!" Professor Linton muttered hastily, and then said to Xia Chuan and the others: "There's no time to say more, you just ask the questions you want to know the most, I'll You can talk as much as you can, and for the rest, I will find you in twelve hours."

When Xia Chuan and the others heard this, they only felt that they had more questions, and wanted to ask why they were in a hurry?What does one and a half minutes left mean?Why do you have to look for it after twelve hours?But that doesn't seem to be the most pressing issue.

"What's the meaning of the code name behind Shenlan's shoulder?" Dennis spoke first, but what Xia Chuan and Shenlan wanted to know the most was what he asked.

The two of them were taken aback for a moment, then turned their gazes to Gerald and Professor Linton at the same time, waiting for their answers.

Professor Linton probably made up his mind to make it clear to them. The time was urgent and he didn't want to go around in circles. He immediately said firmly: "That's the code name of the live experiment, which originated from a deep-sea experiment conducted by the company. It started in the 80s and has continued to this day. Behind him is darkblue02, which represents the No. 2 experimental product.”

Dennis frowned when he heard this: "Company? Which company? Are you referring to the company we are working with now?"

"Yes." Professor Linton nodded, "Wes Company."

In fact, Xia Chuan and the others already had a vague premonition when they saw Professor Linton and Gerald get together to discuss some things in secret, but they still felt a little...unbelievable when they heard Professor Linton personally confirming it.

"Isn't this just an energy company?!" Dennis looked in disbelief, "Have you got your brain wet? What kind of in vivo experiments are you doing? What's the use?! Maybe it's for kidnapping the leaders of various countries, bombing the White House, etc. What about making movies, isn’t there enough Hollywood to watch?”

"Of course not." Hearing the more he spoke, the more contemptuous his tone became, Professor Linton repeatedly denied, "The company actually did this experiment for its own sake. But the reasons for this are a bit complicated, and I can't explain it clearly, at least in the current time. Not enough, and even in a minute and a half, Gerald and I still need to avoid some key words, otherwise the information will still be grabbed. So—"

"There are still 30 seconds." Gerrard reminded abruptly.

Professor Linton immediately stopped speaking, glared at Xia Chuan and the others, and motioned for them to ask quickly.

But the more it is in this environment of several seconds, the more difficult it is for people to make some choices, especially Xia Chuan and the others have accumulated too many questions, and they don't know where to start.Being urged by Gerrard, Dennis simply asked, "What do you mean by counting seconds?"

"We are implanted with information devices, and what we do and say every moment will be captured by the terminal, especially those that contain keywords. This information device will automatically restart every twelve hours , with a 5-minute gap in between."

"Four minutes and forty-seven seconds to be exact," Gerrard added: "A little oversight by that friend of yours."

"That friend of mine?" Dennis looked blank again.

"Oscilloscope." Professor Linton pointed out concisely.

"Huh?!" Dennis remembered the friend who made the oscilloscope and threw it to him, and asked him to bring it out to help test, "So, everyone in the company knows what happened, and I was the only one kept in the dark? !"

"Of course not. At present, there are no more than two people from one department participating in this experiment, and your department did not participate." After Professor Linton explained, he added, "Besides, what's so good about participating? Once you get on the boat, you can't get off the boat." went."

"There are still ten seconds." Gerald looked down at his watch and reminded again.

"Shut up!" Dennis was terribly irritable at this moment, and when he heard him counting down the time, he was even more impatient and couldn't suppress his temper.

Gerald: "..."

He raised his eyelids and glanced at Dennis. The guy didn't react until he had scolded him, and rubbed his nose embarrassingly.

"I will come to you in twelve hours! At that time, there will be nearly 5 minutes, which is enough for me to explain to you." Professor Linton speeded up his speech, and said, "It is precisely because I have an information device on me. , so after coming out of the semi-cretaceous e17, I will disperse with you, otherwise it will not be good for you. Can I explain this to make you believe that I have no malicious intentions? I don’t want to regret it again, so I am on your side side."

After he finished his last word, Gerald raised his hand and tapped the dial of his watch.He didn't say anything this time, but Xia Chuan and the others understood what he meant—the time was up.

Before everyone had time to react, he simply stood up, walked in front of Dennis, pinched his chin to make him look up, pretended to look at his eyelids, and looked up again. Chin said: "Open your mouth."

Dennis looked a little confused, and opened his mouth reflexively, allowing Gerald to pinch his chin and look around twice.

"Well, the swelling of the tonsils has subsided, so you don't need to stay in the infirmary anymore. I'll ask you to arrange another single room for you." Gerald switched to the role of a doctor without changing his expression, maintaining an extremely serious expression from the beginning to the end. The facial expression, I can't tell what I did in the 5 minutes just now.

Deep Blue was still very disgusted when he saw Gerald. When the time was up, he directly squeezed Xia Chuan's wrist, opened the door and walked out without saying a word.

"Hey—wait for me!" Dennis hurriedly stood up and followed behind them. When he was about to go out, he paused as if thinking of something again: "That's right!"

Gerald looked up, beckoning him to fart.

"Do you have any extra clothes? I can't walk around in a hospital gown, can I? The little girls will laugh when they see it." Dennis asked, picking up his collar with some disgust.

After hearing this, Gerald looked at him blankly, and said decisively: "No, just wear it like this, and let's talk about it if it stinks."

Dennis: "..." How much he wanted to raise two middle fingers, but he didn't dare.

The three of them listened to an incomplete explanation like this. Most of the questions were still in the clouds and they had no clue, but a minute and a half was too short. There was really nothing to say, so they had to wait twelve hours later.

Agitated by such an accident, the three of them lost most of their appetites. They were a little lazy when they saw the restaurant. Their minds were full of what Professor Linton said, and what they hadn't had time to ask. , there is no extra space to put other things, the appetite is pushed aside under this situation, even the dark blue feels that there is nothing to eat.

They hurriedly bought some food in the restaurant to pad their stomachs, and they didn't dare to eat too much, so as not to eat suddenly and torture their stomachs after being hungry for a long time.

When they returned to their room, the corridor on the floor they were on was still relatively quiet.Most of the doors of the rooms with the door plates are closed, and I don’t know if anyone has come out. Occasionally, one or two doors are half closed, and the voices of people inside are also chattering, not noisy.

Someone was playing a CD in one of the half-open doors.Xia Chuan seldom had time for entertainment, so naturally he didn't know much about the songs on the CD. He only felt that the singer's voice was vicissitudes and hoarse, and the style of the music was a bit old-fashioned.

They glanced subconsciously, and saw a very young girl passing through the crack of the door.

"At this age, you actually like to listen to gnr's songs? It's been almost 20 or [-] years since it was first released." Dennis immediately recognized some tricks, and sighed casually, "I like it too."

But this is obviously not the time to discuss hobbies, and after feeling emotional, they are thrown into the sea with the waves outside the boat.

After most of the day, they didn't see the shadow of little nurse Bonnie, and Dennis, who had nowhere to stay and didn't want to go back to the infirmary, shamelessly rubbed his place in Xia Chuan and the dark blue room.They didn't care about other things, they just kept discussing what Professor Linton said, and looked at the wall clock on the wall to check the time until Professor Linton took the initiative to find him.

Unexpectedly, when it was just dark, two hours before twelve hours, Xia Chuan and his room door was knocked.
