Abnormal Museum Pokédex

Xiao Su found a rule, Fang Huize usually does not work in the laboratory after dinner.

Sure enough, today is the same, Yeager is the only one in the lab.

Probably because what happened yesterday was too shocking, and Yeager was hit hard, so today he looks a bit decadent, and there is a small coffee stain on his white shirt, but he didn't notice it.

Seeing Xiao Su coming in, he had an expression mixed with fear and anticipation, embarrassing and funny.

Xiao Su wanted to laugh a little, but held back, and greeted him: "Good evening, have you eaten yet?"

"Of course." Yeager said a little tensely, probably to ease the atmosphere, and said, "You Chinese seem to pay special attention to whether others eat or not."

"It's just a hypocritical courtesy. The implication is that if you don't eat, go home and eat. It's not a treat." Xiao Su went along with the situation and also said a joke.

The atmosphere finally relaxed, and Yeager hesitated to speak. Xiao Su knew what he wanted to ask, and deliberately kept it a secret: "Is there any progress in the experiment?"

Yeager smiled bitterly: "This question should also be your hypocritical politeness?"

"Probably." Xiao Su said, handing him the folder in his hand.Yeager took it and opened it like a treasure, looked at it for a long time, and frowned: "What does this mean?"

"You should have studied this thing, right?" Xiao Su asked him, "This is a kind of encrypted text, and it should be in English."

Yeager nodded: "Yes, I suspected Latin and Chinese at first, but later found out that it might be English."

"It uses three languages, Latin, Chinese seal script, oracle bone inscriptions, and a symbol - cat's claw. But judging from the length of the words and the rhythm of the writing, I feel that it should be in English after decryption." Xiao Su said, " I tried to decipher it today, but with little success - the text is too short, with only one natural paragraph, and too little information to cross-reference."

Yeager frowned and said nothing, Xiao Su said again: "You know this kind of self-created ciphertext, the longer the text, the higher the repetition rate of words, the easier it is to find the algorithm, the shorter it is, the harder it is to compile and summarize .”

"You're right..." Yeager wiped his forehead and said wearily.

"Show me the rest." Xiao Su said bluntly, "This is from a loose-leaf book, there should be more than one." He pointed to a string of oracle bone inscriptions on the cardboard, "This is in Chinese oracle bone inscriptions. stands for 'day one', and there must be a second day and a third day."

Yeager raised his eyebrows: "You know Oracle Bone Inscriptions?"

"I don't really understand, but it is a kind of pictograph, which has a certain correspondence with modern Chinese, and I can always guess something." Xiao Su said, "If you can give me the rest, I will definitely be able to recognize it. More stuff."

Yeager flipped through his impromptu draft, hesitating. Xiao Su was afraid that he would see the problem after a long time, so he pretended to be sincere and said: "Yager, we don't have much time left..." Pointing The direction of the ICU, "That trick won't fool Vita for long. If things come to light one day, he and Bushina will not let us go. At that time, our best result is to escape here safely, which is impossible in this life." If you have a chance to set foot on the land of East Africa again—come, die!"

Yeager looked towards the ICU, a drop of cold sweat dripping from his forehead.Xiao Su said: "It will be too late when things really happen, don't you understand? We are racing against time."

Yeager's Adam's apple slid, and finally made up his mind, took out a loose-leaf notebook from under a pile of documents on the workbench, and handed it to him: "I need a guarantee."

"I thought we had reached a consensus yesterday." Xiao Su took the notebook, "But I can repeat it again, Yeager, I promise this is between the two of us."

Xiao Su returned to the dormitory with the loose-leaf book.

There were five thick cardboards in the notebook, all of which were cipher texts invented by Zheng Fei. Xiao Su flipped through it twice, and looked carefully at one of them to the light, and found that the indentation of brush strokes could be seen on the back. There are also some slight traces of colored lead.

Obviously, they were originally bound together with the picture book, and Zheng Fei rubbed the traces of the lines on the back of the paper when drawing.

But Yeager is too wary, and he is still unwilling to hand over the full draft of the picture book to him, only giving him the cutscene diary written in cipher text at the end of each section.

Let’s take it step by step, it’s not bad to get these… Xiao Su comforted himself, took a pen, and began to translate these pages of diary according to the mother version in his mind.

The planet was torn out by a meteorite into a grand canyon, and melted glaciers gushed out of the cracks, forming a huge freshwater lake. The big cat, Mr. R, took the kitten, Mr. R, to dive into the depths of the lake with a miniature submarine, and found that the underwater distribution With countless small cracks, extending to the rocky mountains on both sides of the canyon.

The glacier water flowing in the crevices and the fresh water stored in the lake form a dynamic balance. During the hot season, the melting of the glaciers accelerates, and the water flows into the lake from the crevices, and the water level of the lake rises.During the snow season, the glaciers solidify, the lake water pours into the rocky mountains through the cracks in the rocks, and the water level of the lake drops.

Mr. R, the big cat, found many abnormal aquatic creatures in the deep water, followed their path, and found a hidden rock crevice.There are many more abnormal creatures passing through the crevices, some of which have obvious genes similar to ancient dinosaurs.

The big cat led the kitten upstream from the crevices of the rock, passing through countless maze-like rock passages, and finally found the birthplace of those abnormal creatures, a huge natural cave.The cave is inhabited by a group of primitive dinosaurs that were buried by earthquakes caused by meteorite impacts.

Most of the dinosaurs have died, and some of the remaining ones have been mutated by meteorite radiation and become aquatic organisms that can live in glacial lakes, while a small number of them are lingering in caves.The cat father and son refitted the mini-submarine, blasted a passage in the mountain rock, and rescued the remaining dinosaurs from the cave.

In order to thank them, the dinosaur patriarch gave them a precious seed that can bring the dead back to life.

When the story came to an end, Xiao Su finished translating the last card, and couldn't help but be impressed by Zheng Fei's extraordinary imagination. He closed his eyes, and the image of a wise and strong female scientist vaguely appeared in his mind.How many nights, beside the bonfire in the wild, under the light of the tent, she drew stories full of childishness for her son in the distance, entrusting her long thoughts.

Xiao Su rubbed his eyes and sorted out the cipher text he had scribbled. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this story was full of strange metaphors, and it was not as simple as it seemed at first glance.

Canyons, lakes, glaciers, caves... ancient dinosaurs, mutated aquatic creatures...

The seed of resurrection.

All of a sudden, a bolt of lightning exploded in Xiao Su's mind!

A short article on science and technology from a long time ago flashed into memory. Xiao Su remembered that when he was still in junior high school, the "Natural History" magazine he subscribed to had a special issue on the Great Rift Valley in East Africa. In the special topic, it was mentioned that a lake in East Africa existed The "breathing" phenomenon, the water level of the lake rises in summer and falls in winter, because there are many cracks at the bottom of the lake, which penetrate deep into the rocky mountains on both sides.Due to complex natural reasons, these rock cracks will "spit out" and "absorb" lake water with temperature changes, resulting in a strange breathing phenomenon.

The Great Rift Valley in East Africa has always been known as the cradle of life. The lake mentioned in the topic is known as the largest freshwater lake in Africa. Biologists have discovered fossil-like ancient abnormal creatures in the depths of the lake.Therefore, although the political situation there is unstable and the natural conditions are harsh, many scientists risk their lives every year to explore and discover.

Could it be that this lake is Whale Lake?

It's been a long time, and Xiao Su can't remember the details of the report, but he can be sure that "breathing phenomenon" and "living fossil organisms" are mentioned in it. Compared with the alien meteorite Grand Canyon described in Zheng Fei's secret text, it is exactly the same!

Therefore, this picture book is definitely not a childish story scribbled by Zheng Fei, but an adventure fairy tale compiled based on the reality she experienced during the scientific expedition!

Perhaps, she has been doing this all along, and the thick picture book at home was also drawn by her based on her previous work!

Zheng Fei used this method to explain the work she was doing to her son, share her discoveries and insights in life with him, accompany him to grow up, and tell him how big the world is and how beautiful nature is.

The heart of a loving mother is touching.

Xiao Su's heart was agitated, in order to discover this warm secret, he really wanted to fly to Rong Rui right now and tell him the deep meaning behind the picture book.

Soon, soon, maybe next week, maybe tomorrow, they will find this place... Xiao Su suppressed the joy in his heart, forcing himself to focus on the front, if Rongrui and the others have locked the area where ELYsion is located, Then he has to hurry up, he must figure out everything before the decisive battle, and get back all the things Yeager stole from Zheng Fei 12 years ago.

Xiao Su looked at the five jammed papers on the table, plus the one from yesterday, there were six in total.

These six diaries condense the essence of the whole story. Fables usually name Zheng Fei’s discovery in East Africa 12 years ago, but now Xiao Su only knows that mysterious ancient creature is hidden in a rock crack on both sides of Whale Lake. .

According to the log, there are countless corridors criss-crossing and criss-crossing, forming a complex underground labyrinth, and some passages even flooded the lake, and were even filled with glaciers.

Xiao Su suddenly remembered that when he was in the stone house for the first time, Hao Yunlai had said that many explorers had explored around Whale Lake more than ten years ago, and some of them even challenged cave diving.

Cave diving is a more dangerous extreme sport than ordinary diving, because it involves diving, hiking, rock climbing and other activities, and only a few all-round explorers dare to challenge it.Judging from these six logs, Zheng Fei found the ancient creature through cave diving and through the labyrinth of rock crevices.

It's no wonder, after all, she is the woman who always chooses to meet at the top of G2 on Valentine's Day dates.

Xiao Su suddenly had a strong desire to see her, to see what a wonderful existence this woman who devoted her whole life to science but won the sincere love and respect of her husband and son was.

Unfortunately, there is no more chance...

Feeling a bit disappointed, Xiao Su sorted out the diary, read through and memorized the cipher text he had just written several times, lit it on fire, and rushed into the toilet.

The truth of 12 years ago is getting closer and closer, and there is only one last step-to figure out the structure of the underground cave.

These logs were written according to the content of the picture book, that is to say, Zheng Fei probably drew the route map of her cave diving in the picture book according to the real situation.

Now, as long as you get the full text of the picture book from Yeager, you can go through the steps of the cat father and son to deduce the location of the ancient creature and how to get there through the underground labyrinth.

How can Yeager hand over all the picture books?

Xiao Su was a little confused. From yesterday to today, he has said everything he can say, but Yeager still only gave him these six logs. He has no trump card to use now, unless he tells the content of the ciphertext. come out.

But then Yeager can easily guess that there is a corresponding map in the picture book, and within a day, he can find the way to the maze.

But that is the result of Zheng Fei's years of painstaking efforts and life. Because of Yeager's selfishness, it has been buried for 12 years. It is absolutely impossible for Xiao Su to let him take the lead and enjoy the benefits.

That is the greatest blasphemy against science!

Maybe, this time, I have to rely on Fang Huize's power...
