Song Zan thought he lowered his voice to talk to Zhao Lin, but in fact, Bai Yi and Zhang Tianyue beside him were not deaf, so they could hear him clearly.

Zhang Tianyue silently shifted his gaze, pretending that he didn't hear anything.

Bai Yi couldn't do it anymore.

He traced the connection between Si Qingxuan and the ghost master, but he was blocked everywhere, which can be described as "the special list of suffering for a long time".Hearing that Si Qingxuan was actually added to the list by Zhaolin, his reaction was naturally intense.

"How did you do it?" Bai Yi said incredulously, "Is this the privilege of the captain rank?"

"Ahem...not really. This is a comprehensive consideration of various factors. It mainly depends on the mission contribution." Song Zan knew that he had made a fool of himself, so he quickly cleared his throat and began to save the situation, "If you can see our captain's Mission Contribution Form, then you won't be surprised."

"Then why isn't our captain Shu?" Bai Yi asked.

It's not that he questioned why he didn't have such a right, but complained for his captain.

"You Captain Shu also filled in. His parents and his younger brother Shu Yan are all on the list. But after Shu Yan awakened his talent, he was crossed off the list." Song Zan shrugged, Take it for granted.

Bai Yi still felt that something was wrong, and wanted to argue a few more words, but was stopped by Zhang Tianyue.

"It's almost enough-he's right, we two really haven't participated in any major dangerous missions. The level difference is too much, and there is no point in arguing."

Hearing this, Song Zan was a little surprised to look at Zhang Tianyue again. The latter was still wearing his black peaked cap, his lips were thin and pale, and he looked emotionless.

"I've always heard people say that beast-like awakened people whose prototypes are temperature-changing animals are especially moody." Song Zan glanced at Bai Yi and Zhang Tianyue in front of him with some curiosity, "You two are completely different from the rumors. One is impatient. , the other one has been so calm."

Zhang Tianyue pressed his hat: "What you said is prejudice."

"Okay, I believe what you said." Song Zan patted Zhang Tianyue's shoulder familiarly, and said in a brisk tone, "Would you like to have lunch together later? I'll treat you to Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs."

Zhaolin: "..."

Zhao Lin looked over with a slightly cold look, and Song Zan could only restrain himself a little: "I'm just joking, hahaha...let's talk about it after we finish the task." Then, he turned to Zhao Lin, "By the way, captain, we want to What to do first?"

"We need to wait for an expert." Zhao Lin looked down at the watch on his wrist, "The executive department arranged for him to lead this investigation. This expert can help us determine how the aura on that mermaid came from. "

Get to the source of the pollution and then clean it up.Even if their task is completed.

"Professor Li, you may have heard of it." Zhaolin raised his eyebrows slightly, and handed them a document, "Li Zhiming, and his 'Theogony Project'."

……

Soon, Li Zhiming arrived by special car.

Li Zhiming is a thin and tall man.Unlike the experts Song Zan and the others imagined, he didn't carry a cart full of large and small instruments with him, nor did he open his mouth and talk about theories and formulas that ordinary people couldn't understand at all.He only brought a laptop and a heavy toolbox.However, he wore a scarf around his neck and gloves on his hands, which were slightly thicker than those around him.But anyway, it's autumn now, and it doesn't hurt him to wear it like this.

"Hello, Captain Zhao." Li Zhiming shook hands with Zhao Lin, with a warm smile on his elegant face, "Thank you for coming to pick me up."

Zhaolin introduced Song Zan and the others to Li Zhiming.

At the same time, the 2-minute greeting has just come to an end, but Li Zhiming can't wait to enter the task state: "Ahem, everyone's time was wasted because I came to pick me up, please allow me to express my apologies to everyone—— Captain, I think we should hurry up and start this investigation mission."

As he spoke, a hint of fanaticism flashed in his eyes: "According to what you said, it is a creature that is very similar to the legendary mermaid... This creature's lifespan on land is extremely short. Although we have also tried to create tanks to keep these creatures, but they just can't survive out of the ocean—I mean, no matter how you imprison it, we don't have much time left, and it must not be wasted lightly."

He spoke very fast, and if he lost his mind for a moment, he could not hear what he was saying at all.But fortunately, the awakened ones understood what he meant because they had excellent five senses.

"We didn't put her in the water," Song Zan said, "We froze her."

"Freeze? Yes, freeze. For some weird creatures, the low temperature will make them fall asleep..." Li Zhiming fell into some inexplicable anxiety, "But not all species are like this! Just freeze Get up, it's too hasty..."

"Mr. Li, are you okay?" Zhang Tianyue asked.

"I'm fine." Li Zhiming lowered his body and shivered slightly, "I just feel a little cold. Let's go and see that weird creature—"

"That's not a weird creature, Professor Li." Bai Yi said with some resistance, "She's a human being."

Li Zhiming raised his head, was stunned for a second, and then said: "Ah, yes. Forgive me for being careless, she was originally a human being." The corners of his brows drooped, and there was a bit of real sadness in his eyes, "...It's really embarrassing. sorry."

Bai Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, always feeling that Professor Li was unreliable.

"What major does this Professor Li study?" Bai Yi moved closer to Zhang Tianyue and asked softly.

"Religion, or theology? I can't remember." Zhang Tianyue sighed softly, and replied, "Anyway, he does have some reputation in the industry, and he should have some real skills."

They brought Li Zhiming to the branch of the Disaster Prevention and Control Bureau in this city.

Captain He, an A-level awakener stationed in Linjiang City, came to receive them.

"We have received an order from the General Administration—this is the key to our laboratory, isolation room, and conference room. You can use it as you please." Captain He didn't mind at all that Zhao Lin took over the case by taking over the case on his behalf. On the contrary, he was happy Leisurely, "Actually, we are also very happy to have an S-class come to visit our territory, maybe it can be a bit of European style, let our Linjiang branch also recruit an S-class awakener as soon as possible..."

On the way, they met the executive director of the Linjiang branch in a narrow way.

Before Captain He could introduce, Zhaolin had already greeted the director.

After the director saw Zhao Lin, he shook hands with him without a smile on his face, then adjusted his uniform and rushed to the meeting.

Captain He said in surprise: "You know our director?"

Zhao Lin: "Actually, I am a native of Linjiang."

Captain He: "..."

Captain He: "???"

"You are from Linjiang—why did you go to the Lingyang branch!" Captain He was heartbroken, "Is it because of the relationship between the Lingyang branch and the Yunjing General Bureau? Isn't this too bullying?"

"...No, I awakened in Lingyang." Zhao Lin said.

Captain He has nothing to say.

"I wanted to ask if you need a local guide." Captain He said quietly, "Now it seems that there is no need for it at all."

Zhao Lin nodded: "The victim this time is in the same university as me."

Captain He: "..." He waved his hand, indicating that they should take care of themselves.When he left, Captain He's Xiao Suo's back was inexplicably vicissitudes.

Song Zan was holding back his laughter and couldn't hold back anymore.

He always felt that this trip to Linjiang would definitely uncover more secrets of the captain.

They then went to the isolation room.

The isolation room is made of metal and is heavily controlled. It is a place for temporarily detaining dangerous awakened people and various disasters.

The mermaid was lying quietly on the metal table, her long hair was loose, and her body was covered with a thin layer of ice.

Song Zan's talent is very strong, and the ice he made is also extraordinary. As long as it is not roasted on the fire, the frost will not melt easily within a certain period of time.

Professor Li Zhiming put the toolbox together, and walked forward happily, not even daring to step too hard, for fear of waking up the miraculous creation in front of him.

"Very complete...too complete." Li Zhiming laughed, "It's rare to see such a complete sea charm."

"What do you call her?" Song Zan asked.

"Sea Charm." Li Zhiming said decisively, "A strange creature that lives in the ocean. It has a beautiful singing voice, eats flesh and blood, is beautiful and dangerous. It is very similar to the mermaid in human legends."

"If she wakes up, you don't have to cover your ears, but I do." Li Zhiming said regretfully, "Her singing may be nothing to you awakened ones, but it can confuse my mind."

Then, he walked to the desk beside him, turned on his computer, and after a dazzling operation, he brought up a dark green interface and said, "Welcome to visit my 'Museum of Weird Creatures', and at the same time Also my 'Theogony Project'—”

He opened a page casually.

The above details the name, appearance, anatomical diagram of muscles and bones of a certain strange creature (the words "prediction" and other words are indicated at the back).Below the picture is a long text, including its characteristics, abilities and weaknesses.

"This is my life's painstaking effort." Li Zhiming said with a smile, "I have been collecting all kinds of information about strange creatures. I think human beings should sort out such a huge picture book to study their magic...Of course, this It also helps us a lot in identifying and eradicating them."

Looking at the vast amount of information on the computer, Bai Yi literally took a deep breath: "How much time did you spend collecting these things?"

"Oh, I have been doing this since I graduated with a Ph.D. at the age of 20. I have traveled almost all over the world, and I am either researching or on the way to research every day." Li Zhiming laughed heartily and said very proudly, "Of course , I am not the only one who does this kind of research. But I dare say that in China, I am the No.1 producer of 'Theogony'."

Li Zhiming entered the outline interface of the database, and countless square icons symbolizing some kind of strange creatures were connected by lines and frames. Bai Yi just looked at it, and suddenly felt that it looked very similar to the biological evolution diagram he had seen in biology textbooks — but not quite the same.

"Do you know why it's called 'Theogony'?" Bai Yi was the youngest person present, and his exclamation seemed to satisfy Li Zhiming the most, so he took the initiative to talk to Bai Yi with a very enthusiastic tone.

Bai Yi shook his head.

"That's because - many strange creatures are also intelligent." Li Zhiming chuckled, "This is the same as human beings. With intelligence, social relations will definitely evolve. In the world of strange creatures, there are also their own a set of rules of engagement."

"Among the different weird creatures, some are companions, some look like close relatives, some won't die in a fight, and some are fans of a certain faction..." Li Zhiming said, "That's right, the faction. At first, I thought they were also divided into camps based on bloodlines and strength. But when I was at a loss, I suddenly realized that what separates them into different camps can also be 'faith'."

Bai Yi's pupils trembled, and his hair stood on end.

"I study weird creatures, and the focus is not on them." Li Zhiming took a breath, and looked back to the computer screen, "What I want to explore is the 'god' behind them—I want to know that the enemy of human beings, Just how powerful it is."
