[Independently hidden plot "Mysterious Organization", the current plot exploration rate is 30%]

[Although the mermaid cells can make the patient's mental state unstable, the root cause of Zeng Qi's body mutation is not the mermaid cells, but a certain special ingredient mixed in the medicine [EL]①]

EL?What it is?

Subconsciously, the players clicked on the number ①, and a box popped up in the next moment——

【EL, the full name is "eternallife", translated as eternal life. EL is the abbreviation of eternal life.This is a special ingredient that stimulates cellular activity.It can accelerate cell division and renewal.This is also the original reason why this ingredient was named 'Eternal Life'.As long as the permanent activity of cells can be guaranteed, they can live forever. 】

Seeing this, Cheng Xuyuan was thoughtful.Since merman cells can erode and modify human genes, EL can stimulate cell activity.Then the combination of the two may have some kind of side effect.And this side effect is the root cause of Zeng Qi turning into a monster.

On the side, Liu Wenhan, a medical student, murmured in disbelief: "How is this possible?"

Although many scientists in the world are trying to research and explore the secret of human immortality, none of the research is really successful.It was impossible to achieve immortality in the era they lived in, let alone the background setting of the dungeon in front of them was in the early 21st century.Where the hell did they get this ingredient called "EL" from?

After crossing out the entry about "EL", Su Ji clicked the drop-down button and looked down.

[It is Professor Wu’s funder [Smith]② who provided “EL” to the underground laboratory of the psychiatric hospital.It was his instruction that those people would secretly add this ingredient to the potion to complete the experiment. 】

【Professor Wu didn't know about this. When he discovered the concealed experimental case of Zeng Qi, he immediately reported it to Smith, but he never thought that he just hit the muzzle of the gun...】

Seeing the increasing task progress bar in front of him, Su Ji couldn't help raising his eyebrows.Unexpectedly, it was really like this, and it was not in vain for him to take a risky gamble just now.

This is Smith...

Although he is not unfamiliar with this name, his impression of this person is only "the funder behind Professor Wu's research project".But at present, it seems that this Mr. Smith is not an ordinary person.Where the hell is he?

With doubts in his heart, Su Ji clicked on the entry about Smith.

[Smith: The person in charge of a mysterious overseas consortium.Responsible for all kinds of affairs in the financial group, deeply trusted by the core members of the group. 】

... Isn't this equivalent to a CEO?

Thinking, he continued to look down——

[It is precisely because of this that he was able to add 'EL' to the experimental potion while avoiding the eyes of other people in the group. 】

After reading the entire content, Su Ji was thoughtful. The source of "EL" has never been mentioned in the independent hidden plot that has been unlocked so far, nor has it been mentioned who extracted and manufactured EL.This may be the direction of their next investigation. As long as they find out these, they should be able to unlock the next hidden plot.

But compared to these, right now...

"We don't have much time." Wuchang glanced at the countdown timer on the task panel and said seriously: "We must sail quickly."

"Indeed, if you continue to stay where you are, you don't know what will happen on the island. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, it's better to go first."

Cheng Xuyuan looked at Su Ji as he spoke, and was about to ask his opinion, but saw that the other party also raised his head.When the two parties looked at each other, Su Ji nodded.Cheng Xuyuan understood, and immediately said to the martial arts field: "Let's set sail."

Hearing this, Wuchang immediately walked towards the cab.Seeing this, the rest of the people immediately supported Shao Feng and Zhou's sisters, who had become weak due to a sudden onset of illness not long ago, and followed them.

When the others left, Cheng Xuyuan glanced at the closed hatch, and asked Su Ji in a low voice, "Are you going to keep them locked up like this?"

"No." Su Ji smiled and said, "I still have something to ask them."

Cheng Xuyuan was startled when he heard that, and then he realized, "You noticed it too?"

"What did you notice?" Cheng Xuyuan's sudden nonsense words made Su Ji a little puzzled.

Cheng Xuyuan lowered his voice and said: "According to the setting of the copy of "Crossing the Sea", Professor Wu should be just a scientist who is obsessed with studying mermaids. Although he is a little crazy, he will not have the anti-human idea of ​​making biochemical weapons. After knowing Mr. Smith However, in the story line of "Crossing the Sea", Professor Wu still works for Smith and the mysterious consortium. Isn't it strange?"

After listening to Cheng Xuyuan's question, Su Ji pondered for a moment and nodded, "You are right, there is indeed something that doesn't make sense. But..."

Cheng Xuyuan: "But what?"

"But don't forget that until just now, neither Professor Wu nor we knew that Smith was involved in this matter." Su Ji said and paused for a moment, "Everything is caused by our actions. "

Cheng Xuyuan hesitated when he heard the words, and then suddenly realized: "You mean... the butterfly effect?"

"That's right." Su Ji nodded, "If I hadn't planned this hijacking and kidnapping scene, Professor Wu would not have realized the problem with Smith."

Cheng Xuyuan murmured: "Then it is normal for him to continue to cooperate with Smith."

Su Ji: "So I thought, since we have changed the plot, why don't we take this opportunity to continue digging into the secret behind it?"

Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan suddenly froze, "Do you want to promote independence and hide the plot?"

"Ah."

Cheng Xuyuan frowned slightly, "But there is not much time left, and the escape mode will start soon. As long as the ship leaves the island, the main task will be completed. Then we will leave the instance. In such a short time, you Can you really get any useful clues from their mouths?"

Su Ji shook his head, "I don't know either. But I feel a little regretful not to try."

Cheng Xuyuan: "..."

Indeed, it is better to try than to do nothing.

"But don't worry if you really can't ask anything."

Su Ji paused, "Independently hiding the plot can be completed outside of the dungeon. Even if we can't find any clues right now, I believe we will have other opportunities in the future."

Cheng Xuyuan pursed his lips.Su Ji is right, if the purpose of this game is to guide them to find out the truth, then this dungeon will definitely not be the only chance.That being the case, there is no need to worry about whether we can really get useful clues this time.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xuyuan didn't say anything, just patted Su Ji on the shoulder and walked towards the cab.

Watching the other party leave, looking at the closed hatch in front of him, Su Ji fell into deep thought again.

Judging from Professor Wu's performance just now, he doesn't seem to know about the addition of "EL" to the medicine.This shows that Professor Wu is only a marginal figure in this incident, and he cannot touch the core secrets.That being the case, the only information he can inquire about is this mysterious foreign consortium and Smith.

……

In the cabin, the foreheads of Professor Wu and the three of them were covered with bead-sized beads of sweat.People outside have not spoken for a long time, which makes the development of the matter even more confusing.

What worries them more, however, is the fact that the other party has admitted his identity and told them the truth directly.

Under what circumstances would you tell them everything without caring?The answer is self-evident--

Because they are dying.

Who in this world can keep a secret better than the dead?

Realizing this, the three of them became even more anxious.

However, before they could figure out how to deal with the current predicament, the cargo ship that had been stagnant under their feet suddenly moved.There was a low roar of the engine, and the scene outside the window began to move towards the sea.

Professor Wu & Lao Chen & Xiao Ke:! ! !

This is to sink their corpses into the sea!

For just a moment, this thought flashed through their minds at the same time.

Realizing this possibility, the three hurriedly patted on the door of the cabin——

"Mr. Smith! Are you there, Mr. Smith?"

"We won't say anything, please don't kill us!"

Hearing the sudden heart-piercing shouts from the cabin, Su Ji was startled, and then a clear smile flashed across his face.He probably knew how to force them to tell the truth.

Thinking about it, he picked up the voice changer and said, "It's too late, you all know everything."

Hearing this, the three people in the cabin suddenly became very excited.

"We really won't say anything! Please let us go!"

"I can swear to God!"

Resisting the smile that was about to overflow his lips, Su Ji continued: "Empty words have no basis, why should I believe your words? I am a more practical person, and you must show some sincerity if you want to survive."

[Although I know this is acting, but I always feel like Su Ji is a villain when I say this...]

【Don't trust him!This guy is tricking you! 】

However, the three people in the house knew nothing about the truth, and their faces changed suddenly when they heard the words.

After a long time, Professor Wu said, "...what do you want?"

Suddenly, Xiao Ke seemed to understand something, and immediately said: "As long as you let me go, I am willing to serve you! Whether it is a mermaid or a biochemical weapon, as long as you give me a word, I am willing to research anything!"

Hearing this, Lao Chen was startled suddenly, and then looked at the person in front of him in disbelief: "Xiao Ke!"

Professor Wu frowned, "Xiao Ke, do you know what you're talking about?"

"I know!" Under the dim light, Xiao Ke's eyes were astonishingly bright, with an unfamiliar coldness, "I don't want to die."

It is common for husband and wife to fly separately when disasters are imminent, not to mention that the relationship between them is just colleagues.Besides, he did it just to keep himself alive.He didn't think he was wrong.

Thinking about it, Xiao Ke looked at the two of them with fixed eyes: "Professor, Lao Chen, everyone should work together anyway, and I sincerely advise you that 'one who understands current affairs is a hero'. The knife is on the neck, and life-saving is the most important thing." .”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Ke turned his head and shouted towards the door: "Mr. Smith! Can you hear me, Mr. Smith?"

At this moment, there was a "squeak" sound, and the originally closed door of the cabin suddenly opened a crack.

Seeing this, Xiao Ke's eyes lit up, "Mr. Smith..."

However, before he could fully utter the title, he suddenly stopped.

Outside the cabin, a tall and thin figure came into view.

The man had an Asian face, black hair, white skin, young and handsome, quite different from what they expected.

"...he is not Mr. Smith."

Professor Wu was the first to react, and asked the visitor loudly: "Who are you?"

"I?"

The man suddenly raised the corners of his lips, as if he had heard some funny joke, "Is there even a need to ask? Of course he is the one who kidnapped you."
