don't you have a wife of your own

Chapter 41 7th Aquarium.10

Xia Youjie turned around and went back to the steps immersed in the water, trying to find the black shadow just now—the unsettled water spread out waves, he walked down a certain distance until the water covered his shoulders, and he did not meet any other living creatures .

At this time, Xia Youjie was already far away from the range illuminated by the mineral light, and was surrounded by dense darkness.He took a hard breath, and when his chest was flooded with water, he felt inexplicably heavy.

The body temperature was taken away by the water, but Xia Youjie didn't feel cold, but felt strangely warm.Everything in front of his eyes is like ink smeared in milk, black, gray and white, entangled and flowing, sleepy and warm, wanting to sleep immediately.

puff-

With his eyes spinning, Xia Youjie fell into the water.He vaguely seemed to hear the system's prompt and the sound of the dice falling to the ground, but his ears seemed to be blocked by something, and all the sounds became blurred.

The cold water flooded his mouth and nose, but he didn't feel difficult to breathe.

It's like falling into a cold and beautiful dream.In the dream, Xia Youjie saw a humpback whale with a broad and undulating back shaped like a pipa.

It swam past in front of its eyes, its front wings fluttered, and the sea water in the deep sea undulated.

Immediately afterwards, everything returned to the deep blue that was close to thick black in the depths of the sea.

[Congratulations on reaching the ending - the eternal life of the deep sea]

Back in the game hall, Xia Youjie still couldn't break free from the illusion that he was close to suffocation but not suffocation just now, his face was pale and he was struggling to breathe.

At this time, the system prompt sounded again: [It is detected that the player's mood fluctuates greatly, do you want to quit the game and take a rest? 】

Xia Youjie raised his hand and rubbed his face, refusing to quit the game: "Load file."

[It is detected that the player's mood fluctuates greatly, do you want to lower the five senses? 】

"No, just read the file."

The game file loading starts, and the dark blue game hall turns into data fragments and disappears.Xia Youjie returned to the broken railing of the crocodile swamp.When returning from reading the file, Xia Youjie had already stepped over the railing with one foot, but stopped suddenly.

He looked sideways at Chuanyuejian, and Chuanyuejian followed him step by step, seeing him stop, and Chuanyuejian tilted his head slightly, looking at him suspiciously.

Xia Youjie coughed dryly and said, "You look thirsty, why don't we fetch water first?"

Ji Chuanyue was taken aback for a moment, then touched his lips.Although she was a little surprised, she did not reject Xia Youjie's proposal: "Okay."

Xia Youjie said again: "It's inconvenient for us to keep handcuffing like this. Do you want to untie it first? I think we should have established a preliminary relationship of trust now, and I won't leave you halfway and run away."

Oikawa Tsukimi looked at the handcuffs connecting the two wrists, thought for a moment, took out the key from the pocket of the denim skirt and unlocked the handcuffs.Xia Youjie put away the handcuffs, and the two walked from the crocodile house to the tea room - the tea room is next door to the crocodile house, and the two of them did not speak on the way.

Xia Youjie was thinking about last week's event, while Oi Chuanyuejian's silence seemed a little tired.

After entering the tea room, Chuan Yuejian took out a kettle from his schoolbag to fill it with water.Xia Youjie watched the clean water flow into the mouth of the kettle, and swallowed unconsciously, feeling thirsty in his throat.

Ji Chuanyuejian obviously didn't look at him, but seemed to know that he was thirsty, and asked, "Officer Xia You, are you thirsty?"

Xia Youjie: "It's okay."

Oi Chuanyuejian reminded him: "There is a disposable water cup in the locker. If you are thirsty, you can take one out and pour water."

Zhou Mu and Chuanyuejian didn't remind him that it was Xia Youjie who opened the locker and found the disposable water cup.

He opened the locker and found a disposable water cup inside.In fact, in addition to the disposable water cup, there are other messy things thrown in it.But Xia Youjie of Zhou Mu was all focused on that entrance and the strange virus that infected him, and he didn't have any extra energy to search for other sundries.

This week Mu Xia Youjie had already decided not to explore the passage in the crocodile swamp, and he had a lot more time, so he simply looked through the other sundries in the locker—there were disposable water glasses and Packets of rags, Kleenex, and aquarium brochures tucked away at the bottom.

Xia Youjie pulled out the brochure and looked down.

The cover of the brochure is as deep blue as the sea. In the deep blue, a huge humpback whale looks back and surrounds a black silhouette.

Against the background of the huge humpback whale, the silhouette looks extremely petite, slender and beautiful.

Although there is only one graceful silhouette, it can still be distinguished as a mermaid, which is close to the silhouette of a mermaid in a fairy tale.On this large poster, a line of title is printed in playful fonts: [Andersen's Fairy Tale Ocean Exhibition, will be held at the ■■ Aquarium on April 4! 】

The strings in Xia Youjie's mind tensed instantly, and the huge and injured humpback whale underwater appeared in his mind again.

He opened the brochure, but it only talked about various types of whales and dugongs whose appearance was very close to that of a mermaid.The whales introduced are also the ones that are generally kept in captivity in large aquariums, and they are not exaggerated enough to actually put a humpback whale in.

The brochure has only three or four pages, and the last page is printed with the specific time and tickets of the exhibition.The ticket price is ridiculously high, a high ticket price that completely shuts out ordinary people.

Xia Youjie asked, "Ji Chuan, what day is today?"

Oi Chuanyue answered: "March 27. What's wrong?"

Xia Youjie lowered his eyes, looking at the time in the manual and lost in thought: March 3th, there are four days before the aquarium's so-called 'Andersen's Fairy Tale Exhibition'.

It is almost certain that the aquarium and the underground waters, as well as the humpback whale, are absolutely inseparable.So what kind of roles will Oikawa Tsukimi and Saeko play in it?

"Officer Xiayou, I've fetched water, we should go."

Oi Chuanyuejian's voice woke him up from his contemplation.Xia Youjie rolled up the aquarium brochure and put it in his pocket: "Wait, let's go to a place first."

Oi Chuanyuejian was confused: "Where?"

Xia Youjie grabbed Ji Chuanyuejian's wrist and pulled her out of the tea room - the floor plan and drainage system of the aquarium were posted on the wall opposite the corridor of the tea room.

He couldn't read the drainage plan of the aquarium, but he could read another map.

Xia Youjie: "Do you have a pen? Lend me one."

Ji Chuanyuejian opened the schoolbag and looked through it: "Yes, but it's soaked in water, so I don't know if it can still be used."

She took out a black ballpoint pen with a limp white cap from her schoolbag.Ji Chuanyuejian unscrewed the cap of the pen and handed it to Xia Youjie. Xia Youjie picked up the pen and tried to draw a line on the map, and an ink mark suddenly appeared on the paper.

Xia Youjie first circled the underwater world with a ballpoint pen: "There are monsters here, but the door of the underwater passage is closed, so don't worry for now."

"There are also monsters in the dolphinarium, monsters that crawled out of the crocodile house. They chose to climb out of the crocodile house, so they should not return to the crocodile house in a short time, so the crocodile house is currently relatively safe."

"This is the locker room next to the crocodile house, where Saeko's body was found."

"The tea room between the dressing room and the crocodile house, this is where Saeko got wet in the first place."

Oikawa Tsukimi looked up at the map, the black traces of the ballpoint pen meandered around many place names, but she just looked at the location of the crocodile house.Her eyes stayed on the crocodile house for a long time, then moved away slowly, puzzled: "So?"

Xia Youjie's ballpoint pen finally landed on a certain spot, and said, "From here, you can go around the corridor to the curator's office."

Oi Chuanyuejian suddenly realized: "Are you going to the curator's office?"

"It's because of this brochure."

Xia Youjie took out the thin brochure from his pocket and handed it to Ji Chuanyuejian: "I think those monsters may have something to do with this 'Andersen's Fairy Tales Exhibition'."

"Maybe the curator's office will have information about this project."

He Chuanyuejian took the booklet and flipped through it casually, and said in a low voice, "I can do anything, I can follow you wherever Police Officer Xia You goes."

She didn't seem to care much about the booklet, flipped through it a few times, and returned it to Xia Youjie.Xia Youjie put away the manual, followed the map instructions and led He Chuanyuejian through the corridor and into an independent office building.

The office building has three floors, and the whole building is slightly lower than other buildings, completely shrouded in the shadow of the gap.

The gate is an ordinary sensor gate, no ID card is required, and it will open automatically as long as someone approaches.The curator's office is on the third floor, and there are two ways to go upstairs: the elevator and the stairs of the emergency passage.

To be on the safe side, Xia Youjie took Ji Chuanyuejian up the stairs.

After entering the office building, you can obviously feel that the temperature is much lower than outside, which is close to the temperature of the crocodile hall.Xia Youjie was still on guard against being attacked by monsters on the way up the stairs—but he went all the way to the third floor without jumping out of the monsters to sneak up on him.

Xia Youjie heaved a sigh of relief, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ji Chuanyuejian, she lightly shrugged and hugged her arm, her face paler than before.

But the paler her face became, the more obvious the blush on her cheeks became, and she seemed to be in a bad situation.

Xia Youjie frowned, and touched Chuan Yuejian's forehead with the back of his hand: "Are you okay?"

Ji Chuanyuejian's forehead was hot, and when she raised her eyes to look at Xia Youjie in a daze, her eyes were moister than before.Xia Youjie was startled, then put his hand down.

Oi Chuanyuejian: "I'm fine, it's just a little cold, the air conditioner here is too low."

They walked to the door of the curator's office. The door was a black metal door with a combination lock.Xia Youjie stepped forward and touched it casually, and a number grid appeared on the touch-sensitive combination lock surface immediately, as well as a small line of prompts: 'Please enter the password'.

Xia Youjie asked: [Can I be lucky and input numbers casually? 】

System: [Considering the current environment, you need to live a difficult and lucky...]

"Let me try."

Oi Chuanyuejian came over and randomly entered six digits on the combination lock.She pressed it so fast that Xia Youjie didn't have time to stop it—with a green light flashing on the combination lock and a long beep, the combination lock unlocked.

Ji Chuanyuejian rolled her eyes and smiled happily: "Officer Xia You, we are lucky—"

Xia Youjie: "...let's go in."

He pushed open the combination lock door and went in, followed by Ji Chuanyuejian.After entering, Xia Youjie closed the door again, worried that monsters wandering elsewhere would come in.

Oikawa Tsukimi fumbled for the light switch on the wall and pressed it.As the incandescent light above her head illuminated the room, she exclaimed and hid behind Xia Youjie: "Officer Xia You! There is a dead body!"

Xia Youjie looked in the direction Ji Chuanyuejian was pointing at, and saw a dead body lying on the soft chair behind the desk.

The dead body did not know how long it had been dead, and it had turned a deep dark purple.But the strange thing was that the corpse didn't rot. From such a long distance, Xia Youjie could tell that the corpse was very wet.

Oi Chuanyuejian grabbed the hem of his clothes, poked his head out from behind him: "You won't pick up the corpse, will you?"

Xia Youjie: "...If he insists on getting up, there is nothing we can do about it."

Ji Chuanyuejian: "That's right."

Xia Youjie walked forward, casually and Chuan Yuejian grabbed the hem of his clothes and followed behind: "I'm going to check on the body, if you're scared, stay where you are—"

Ji Chuanyue saw Xiao Suibu following Xia Youjie, and said Sui Sui: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, bastard stew soup."

Xia Youjie: "..."

He held back his laughter, gritted his big teeth, and tried not to laugh out loud in front of Ji Chuanyue.

After approaching the corpse, Xia Youjie discovered that the shiny reflections on the corpse were not water, but scales.

Sparse scales grew on the joints, chest and abdomen, and neck of the corpse.Those scales were completely different from the ones Xia Youjie picked up in the locker room.They were stunningly beautiful silver scales, sturdy, and about the size of the lid of a small box of yogurt.

Between the scales and the interlayers of the scales, feathers grow.The feathers were covered with a dirty yellowish liquid, probably the grease secreted by the corpse after death.

The body did not smell like corpses, but the smell of salty sea water spread.Although the body is well preserved as a whole, his face has been completely sunken, and it is difficult to see the original appearance.

However, on the neck of the corpse, there was an amulet that was also stained with light yellow dirt.

"The person who died in the curator's office...could it be the curator?"

Xia Youjie couldn't help but make such a guess.

Ji Chuanyuejian poked her head from behind Xia Youjie, but she didn't look at the corpse as carefully as Xia Youjie, she just glanced at it casually.When he saw the feathers and scales on the corpse, Oikawa Tsukimi showed a somewhat disgusted expression.

She didn't deliberately hide her disgust. After Xia Youjie conjectured to himself, Ji Chuanyue said, "It's indeed the curator, because I've seen Saeko's father, and her father is wearing such a suit." Yes. Around his neck is the Sensoji Peace Guard that Saeko begged for him last month."

Xia Youjie stared at the amulet on the corpse for a while, then removed it from the neck of the corpse, and then took it apart: inside were ordinary paper charms and wood chips, and nothing else.

Oi Chuanyuejian didn't care about his desecration of the corpse. Instead, he eagerly looked around and asked, "Should we search other places? Maybe we will find something. There are so many cabinets here."

Indeed, as Oi Chuanyuejian said, there are drawers under the desk, and there are many ornaments and file folders on the huge display cabinets on both sides.

Thinking that Ji Chuanyuejian seemed to be lucky, Xia Youjie said, "Then I'll check the desk drawer, and I'll leave the cabinet to you."

Oi Chuanyuejian: "No problem!"

The two checked the office separately, and Xia Youjie opened the drawer first.

There are many documents related to the aquarium in the drawer, as well as some site applications signed with the government.These documents in the front are quite normal, but the more you turn to the back, the more Xia Youjie notices something is wrong.

Applications for whaling ships to go to sea, applications for sea routes, some of which are even cross-border applications!

An aquarium, why do you need to apply for a whaling ship to go to sea?

Xia Youjie frowned, and applied: [Can I have an education, or an inspiration, to see if I can think of anything from these documents? 】

System: [The player can live an inspiration. 】

Xia Youjie: [Then have an inspiration]

System: [Player passes an inspiration]

When the dice landed, the sound was crisp and pleasant.

【Then, when you see a large number of information about whaling ships, you will inevitably think about Japan's whaling industry in your mind. 】

[In the 20th century, large whales in the northern seas and the Pacific Ocean were hunted to near extinction, and whales have become marine creatures that need urgent protection.Many countries with ocean fishing rights have voluntarily joined the International Whaling Commission to reduce or even ban whaling activities. 】

[Since the early 20s, only Japan has continued to operate a significant whaling industry.Even though the International Fund for Animal Welfare has repeatedly issued warnings, the Japanese government still strongly encourages Japanese fishermen's whaling industry. The Japanese whaling industry kills more than 90 whales every year in the name of 'scientific research'. 】
