was still immersed in the shock of seeing Jia's Blue Floating Island for the first time, and Yu Qian, who couldn't extricate himself from Ren Yuan's words, was called to his senses by the staff who led the way. At this time, Fang found that under the central control tower called the "World Tree" in front of him, a smooth hole appeared in the smooth metal wall, and among them was a large elevator that could accommodate dozens of people.

"Zhao Gou, and those two people." Yu Qian, who came back to his senses, looked back, only to find that the two people who went out of the dock with him had already pushed Zhao Gou and didn't know where to go.

"You mean 3047 and 3055, right?" The staff member who led the way said with a smile: "The two of them have already left from another passage with the patient. ”

"You just found out?" Ren Yuan gloated and said, "If you are asked to escort the prisoners, when you find that the daylilies are cold." ”

"Ahem, I found out, just to ask where they went." Yu Qian hurriedly changed the topic and covered up the embarrassment: "Isn't the elevator coming?" Let's get on the elevator, by the way, where are we going? ”

"This..."The staff member who led the way glanced at Ren Yuan cautiously and said, "Of course it's going to the dean's office, the two of you have something to do here, right?" Of course, if you don't want to see the dean, you can tell me where you're going, and I'll show you the way. ”

"Then go to the dean?" Yu Qian looked at Ren Yuan uncertainly, he was always embarrassed to say that he was just brought by the other party and opened his eyes.

"Well, it's all here, let's go see him. I happen to have something to discuss with him. Ren Yuan nodded and stepped into the elevator. Yu Qian also walked in, and after the smooth mirror-like metal door closed, the whole space was illuminated by a few inconspicuous lights (shè), emitting a soft pale blue light.

The huge elevator runs extremely steadily and quietly, Yu Qian only feels a slight sense of weightlessness gradually getting lighter, and then he is relieved that the elevator has passed through Ren Yuan's mouth at high speed, and the upper and lower parts of the water range linked by carbon nanopipes have entered the underwater part. The magnificent underwater world flickered away, and the surroundings were plunged into pale blue light. Only then did Yu Qian react, and the elevator at (shēn) was surrounded by a whole piece of pure and transparent crystal.

"You just said that." Yu Qian couldn't help but ask, "This Jialanfu Island is academic?" ”

"This one isn't." Ren Yuan said with a smile: "They can't build such a big floating island. However, the prototype of Jialanfu Island is, I'll tell you slowly when it's empty for a while. ”

After a while, the elevator stopped, and when it opened, it was greeted by an oval corridor. It is smooth and round as far as the eye can see, giving people the feeling of walking in the veins of a giant beast under the sea. It's just that this underwater beast is made of steel. Looking back and forth, several extremely simple signs are embedded in the round walls, guiding the way.

"It's so round..."Yu Qian couldn't help but say

"This is to improve the compressive strength of the interior, after all, it is under the surface of the sea, and it is dangerous for the outer wall to break." The staff who led the way explained

"How many meters are we underwater?" Yu Qian asked curiously

"Not deep, less than sixty meters." The staff stretched out their hands and motioned for the two to come with them, "This is the area where the dean's office is located." ”

Following the footsteps of the staff, Yu Qian walked forward along the strange corridor without right angles, and occasionally met several staff members with tight faces and hurried looks. There was no surprise at the presence of two strangers, just a casual glance and skipped it.

After walking a short distance, I came to the place where the sign of the dean's office was hung. The door of the office is also rounded, and the staff who led the way pressed the walkie-talkie next to the door and whispered

"Dean, the body of the false god Ren Yuan and his Mr. Long Muyu have arrived."

After a few seconds, the rounded door shrank inward silently and slid open. A majestic and loud voice sounded, "It's here so soon, please come in, please come in!" ”

guide

The staff smiled and led the two into the door, and then exited silently. Yu Qian looked up, and directly opposite the door was a large and amazing desk, nearly ten meters long on the left and right, with many strange items scattered on it.

Standing behind the huge desk was a tall old man with silver hair and a red face. (shēn) wears a simple, well-made crewneck shirt with elaborate materials, and (xiōng) has a (shēn) card pinned to his mouth. Outside, he wears a white coat (shēn) that is common to researchers, and appears to be carrying something in his pocket. As soon as he saw the two of them come in, he raised his eyes to stare at the desk, laughed and greeted the two of them

"Yo Renyuan, long time no see."

"I feel like I've been talking to a lot of people lately." Ren Yuan chuckled and said, "It's only ten years, and it's not long, right?" ”

"It doesn't count for you, but for us bad old men who don't have a few years to live, we don't have a few decades to squander." The old man said in a rather emotional tone, "Sometimes I envy you, I don't have to be trapped in the shackles of time. For us researchers, this is a real benefit. ”

"Really? But there is really a lot of time to squander, but I'm afraid there is no motivation to do serious research. Ren Yuan smiled lightly and said, "For research, procrastination is a big taboo." ”

"Well, that makes sense, that makes sense." The old man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, looking extremely heroic. Yu Qian observed coldly, and couldn't help but secretly slap his tongue, this was the first time he had seen someone in his memory, and when he saw Ren Yuan, he showed a happy expression (qíng). It seems that the two have really not seen each other for many years, and they are best friends.

"This is Officer Yu Qianyu, right?" The old man stopped laughing, looked at Yu Qian, and said with a look of admiration, "I heard that Officer Yu fought bravely against the advent faction late at night, and then just joined us in the disaster department and became a pseudo-god body of Long Mu, this experience can be called legendary, the future life is terrifying, the future life is terrifying." ”

Somehow, looking at the old man's smiling eyes, Yu Qian felt a chill behind him for no reason. For this explicit compliment, I also felt awkward, waved my hand and said, "You have won the award, it's just a lot of money." I don't know what you call it? ”

"Yo, I haven't introduced it yet." The old man slapped his head exaggeratedly, laughed and said, "My surname is Xia, how old is I, you can call me Lao Xia." ”

"Hello Dean Xia." Yu Qian hurriedly returned the salute politely.

"Don't be inhibited, just sit and sit at home with me." Dean Xia (rè) (qíng) greeted him, "What do you want to drink?" Black tea, coffee, or wine? ”

"You're welcome..."Before Yu Qian finished being modest, Ren Yuan opened his mouth and said, "I don't drink, bring me a cup of black tea." ”

"And Officer Fish?" Dean Xia looked at Yu Qian with a smile, and the latter had no choice but to follow and say, "Black tea is fine." ”

While Dean Xia was getting up (shēn) to pick up drinks from the huge beverage machine next to him, Yu Qian sat down in the white engineering chair in front of his desk and took a closer look at the dean's office.

After entering the door, the office still maintains the rounded architectural style of the corridor, and there is no sharp right angle when you look up. The area of the dean's office is quite large, roughly estimated to be more than 100 square meters, and there is a small bathroom in the corner, and through the small round window on the metal door, you can see that there are all kinds of bathing facilities inside.

The entire room was occupied by the giant desk in front of him, which was more than ten meters long and several meters wide, and the desktop was a complete touch screen with countless symbols and data that he couldn't read, as well as some strange pictures and structural diagrams.

On one side of the wall is a row of filing cabinets with rounded corners, a huge drink machine, and a few machines that are not functional. Facing Yu Qian is a majestic transparent glass, through which the magnificent sea world is revealed

In front of everyone. It was sixty meters deep and the sunlight was of limited use at this depth, and occasionally some fish were attracted by the faint blue light emitted by the room and came to the glass window.

"Come, let's see if it suits our taste." Dean Xia walked over with two cups of black tea, and Yu Qian hurriedly took it with both hands.

"Lao Xia, how do I feel about coming here this time, there are few people on this Jialanfu Island?" Ren Yuan took the black tea and asked out loud

"It's a good thing that there are fewer people, which means that the child is too peaceful." Dean Xia said happily, "In recent years, there have been fewer research topics that have been delegated to our side, and I am happy to be idle." ”

"To tell you the truth, the number of people on Jialanfu Island is less than one-third of what it was at its peak. The old guys in the first issue, except for me, are almost gone. is still in S City, Lao Wu also nests in the museum all day long, unwilling to go into the water. ”

"Life here is still better than leaving on land. Lao Wu doesn't want to stay here, which is also (qíng) reason. Ren Yuan changed his words and asked, "It's just that I don't understand, why do you insist on not leaving here?" This is old, don't go ashore to enjoy the blessings? ”

"I'm a person, the older I get, the more (jiàn)." Dean Xia laughed at himself, "Back then, I didn't like to stay on this Jialan Floating Island the most, not to mention the freshness of the food, and I couldn't be idle when I was busy every day." shouted all day long that he was busy with the current business, and asked to be transferred back. ”

"But ten years have passed, and I can't bear to see this island in my hands, developing and building like this little by little. Now she's like an old person in my eyes. Dean Xia blinked and said with a deep face (qíng), "I think I'm living one day less than one day, and while I'm still strong now, I'll spend more time with her here." This is my home. ”

"You're still waiting for a sense (qíng)."

"Yes, I want to think about the past..."The more Dean Xia said, the more confused his eyes became, and he clearly had a tendency to recall the past

"Lao Xia, I'm here this time to ask you for a favor." Ren Yuan took a sip of black tea, put it on the table, interrupted Dean Xia's memories and said, "You heard about what happened in the Municipal Hospital of S City today, right?" ”

"Hey, it's not peaceful." Dean Xia sighed and said, "The current situation reminds me of ten years ago..."

"I think you're going to make trouble here soon, and I'm afraid the personnel will have to be replenished." Ren Yuan jokingly said, "Haven't you always liked (rè) (rè) to make trouble?" ”

"I'd rather be deserted here." Dean Xia looked sad

"What do you think of this Zhao Gou?"

"Oh, you mean the man (xiōng) with a curse planted in his mouth?" Dean Xia converged (qíng) Xu, and the table (qíng) Yisu switched to work, reached out and clicked on the table, and called up a document, "I received three reports here, one is Xiao Wang's, and two reports for the third phase of the child. I think this man named Zhao Gou is not simple. ”

"Well, there's something wrong with that spell."

"You just removed him from the main knife, and in your experience, what's going on (qíng)?" Dean Xia said as he spoke, scribbling the report on the screen in his hand, marking several monitoring data, and drawing two circles on the screenshot of the heart. The index finger tapped and asked, "What kind of means should this man named Zhao Gou use?" Xiao Wang said that he was treated with an electric soldering iron, and I don't think it's that simple. ”

"I think so too, behind this matter, there should be someone who is good at cursing to intervene, and the investigation will require the help of your three courts." Ren Yuan nodded and said, "But I'm here today, mainly not for this matter." ”

"Huh? What's that?"

"What I want to know is." Ren Yuan asked sideways

"That guy, why didn't the ministry let it go?"
