How important is money in the world?

In the past, every time he talked about this question, Gu Jun would say that it was very important.

"I can tell you that there is only one disease in the world, and that is the disease of poverty."

Gu Jun still remembers three years ago, when he had just turned 18 years old and got the admission letter for the eight-year bachelor's, master's and doctor's degree in clinical medicine from the top five in the country, Dongzhou University School of Medicine.

It's not desolate, but high-spirited, and it looks like a winner in life is about to dominate the world.

A stubborn disguise...... and the sadness that no one knows.

Yes.

For orphans who received the bad news of the death of their parents at the age of ten, the five million in various compensation is the only source of income and the only spiritual support for Gu Jun in the past ten years of his life.

The money is first managed by a trustee fund, and when he reaches the age of 18, he has free disposal of all his estate.

He doesn't have any relatives, but he still has money!

Of course, only money remains.

"Tuhaojun", this is the nickname given to him by his college classmates openly and secretly, full of affection and ridicule.

Generous shots, all kinds of eating, drinking, and entertaining, entrenchment. The above are his only strengths in school.

Probably because the college entrance examination has exhausted all the energy and energy he has spent studying in his life, and he feels that he once had a determination to his mother, "I want to be a doctor when I grow up!" "It didn't make sense, and when he entered college, he completely lost his motivation.

He has changed from a scholar to a scumbag, and his homework is either failed or just passed the passing line, in addition to having fun or having fun on weekdays, day and night are reversed, clubbing and chasing women, and spending time in drunken dreams and death......

After a long time, the professors threw away all the expectations of him, the counselors gave up, and many students took a detour when they saw him. Everyone said that people like Gu Jun, except for insulting the lintel of Dongda, have no drama, and they will only be abolished together with him.

Gu Jun didn't have any rebuttal, because he knew in his heart that everyone was right, he was a bastard, and he planned to continue to mix.

Until half a year ago.

Gu Jun received the second bad news in his life.

He, a brainstem tumor.

Moreover, it is medulloblastoma, the most malignant brainstem tumor, and his condition has no chance of surgery.

Even if there is an opportunity for surgery, the average survival of patients is 0.9 years, which is less than one year.

At that moment, Gu Jun, who had been depressed for two and a half years, seemed to be poured down by a basin of cold water and completely sobered up.

Tuhaojun died, and Gu Jun came back.

He began to cheer up and actively treated. It's just that the brain stem is the nerve center of the human body, and it has always been called the "forbidden area for surgery". At that time, he traveled to many cities and countries, but he couldn't find a single hospital that dared to operate on him.

After three months of searching for medical treatment to no avail, and after checking the world's latest medical information on brainstem tumors, Gu Jun accepted the fact that he was incurable and could not be cured with money.

Subsequently, he made two decisions.

First, buy a set of luxury cruise ship tickets, departing from Dongzhou City, crossing Malacca, and reaching the Indian Ocean. Seize the last time, in this hot summer vacation, go to the place where your parents worked before their deaths, and fulfill this childhood wish. If you're not dead, keep traveling the world.

Second, he left only tens of thousands of yuan in his net worth, and donated the rest of the 1 million yuan to the Swan Children's Hope Fund for orphan education.

If there is an afterlife, do something good, and hope to have a good baby.

"Hello, Mr. Gu, we have arrived at the Longkan submarine volcanic zone, the diving project you booked is ready, please go to the boat ladder to board the dive within half an hour."

The sweet voice of a waitress pulled Gu Jun, who was sitting in a daze in the open-air café on the top deck, back from his thoughts.

"Okay." He nodded, "I can go over now." With that, Yili gave her a tip.

The waitress accepted the tip, and her smile became even brighter, this Mr. Gu is handsome, and he is bold, so he will always be very happy to serve, she smiled and said: "Mr. Gu, then please come with me." ”

At that moment, Gu Jun followed the waitress to the lower deck of the boat, looking at the surrounding sea, with some mixed feelings.

Is this the place where my parents had an accident?

Gu Jun didn't like the sea when he was a child. Because he has never been able to understand why his father, who is the captain of the "Seabird" scientific research ship and the mother of the doctor who accompanied the ship, stayed at sea for many years, but left him to be raised by a guardianship institution.

What are they working on? Is it really more important than your own children?

That damn three-no scientific research company, except for the sentence "The Seabird sank in a storm, and the whole ship was sacrificed" and threw down five million, there was no follow-up, the ship was not found, and the body was not found! Soon after, that company closed its doors.

What really happened back then?

The sea is eerily blue, and the waves are churning, obscuring the past.

Gu Jun sometimes even wonders, are his parents really dead? Maybe they didn't die in a shipwreck, but were left on a desert island waiting for rescue?

Still is...... Sinking to the bottom of the sea in this area?

Searching for answers, he booked this dive at a high price: Visitors enter a boat-shaped submersible that can dive to a depth of 2,000 meters and view the volcanic belt under the sea through a window. This is not a standard item with the ticket, but a special offer for the wealthy. Because the cost of one dive is high.

When he came to the side of the staircase and was still a dozen steps away, Gu Jun saw that in addition to the captain and other crew members, there were also three young tourists, two men and one woman.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the legendary Longkan submarine volcanic belt!" One of them, a young man in his early twenties, was holding a mobile phone and seemed to be doing a live broadcast, he was dressed in fancy clothes and had an exaggerated explosive head, which seemed to be a reggae style.

Gu Jun heard him mysteriously introduce to his mobile phone: "The local indigenous tribe calls this place 'Hamkanaba', which means 'Demon Abyss'......"

The other man, a few years older, was a tall, muscular man, wearing a pink vest with thigh-like arms exposed, and was asking the captain impatiently, "How long will we wait?" ”

And the woman looked the youngest, only sixteen or seventeen years old, tall and beautiful. She was wearing a fashionable jacket and shorts, both of which were army green, a pair of chopsticks and long legs were very eye-catching, and there was a large tattoo on her left calf, and I don't know if it was real or pasted.

She was the first to notice Gu Jun coming, but her eyes were cold and arrogant, and she moved a saber in her hand, looking like no one was going to approach.

"That's right, this dive was originally booked by another guest first." The old captain was explaining awkwardly, and suddenly said happily: "Ah, Mr. Gu is here so soon!" ”

The waitress left at the captain's signal, and Gu Jun continued to walk over to meet everyone's eyes.

The old captain began to introduce. The reggae man is called Li Lerui, the muscular man is called Wu Dong, and the woman in military uniform is called Lin Xiaotang. They are all the "supreme guests" of the cruise ship - the captain hinted with his eyes that they were the powerful sons and daughters of the family, the kind that must not be offended.

The three originally wanted to rent a speedboat to play in the nearby waters, but they saw a submersible here, so they also asked to participate in a deep dive. The submersible has a total of seven seats, three of which are occupied by two operators and one safety officer, and the remaining four tourist seats have been taken over by Gu Jun.

Since the submersible has to do various safety tests after each dive, according to the cruise ship's itinerary, there is only one chance to dive this month. And these three masters were so excited, the captain had to negotiate with Gu Jun, and the four of them shared the cost and seat of this dive equally, okay? It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with all.

"Yes." Gu Jun shrugged and said, since there is a vacant seat, it doesn't matter.

"But ......" the muscular man Wu Dong was still a little unhappy, and he wanted to say something with bull's eyes.

And the reggae man Li Lerui has been there all the time, busy with the live broadcast, and did not participate.

Gu Jun looked at the girl in military uniform, and suddenly felt a little puzzled, feeling that he had seen her somewhere...... Is it on a cruise these days?

"What are you looking at?" Lin Xiaotang was looked at by him like this, and immediately glared back unhappily, his expression was super fierce.

"Look at you." Gu Jun said.

He was so direct, Lin Xiaotang was a little choked, "You ......"

"The choice is yours, I don't mind if everyone is on the same boat anyway." Gu Jun glanced at the three of them with a smile, and then took the lead to walk down the boat ladder, so he didn't care so much. One of the advantages of his short life is that he is much calmer about people and things now.

"Hey boy, stop!" Wu Dong jumped to his feet and shouted, "Come back, come back!" But Gu Jun didn't stop.

And Li Lerui didn't know when he had already pedaled down the boat ladder to chase after him, one hand was still holding his mobile phone to take pictures, and the other hand was around Gu Jun's shoulder, and he smiled familiarly: "Lao Tie, don't mind, that guy Wu Dong is a sand sculpture, a rough man." Look at my live broadcast room, every time Wu Dong appears on the scene, the audience will binge-brush 'Tie Hanhan'. ”

"Tie Hanhan." Lin Xiaotang walked past Wu Dong sulkingly.

Wu Dong was really depressed, scratching his head, "Obviously, you said that you would act in secret!" ”

Uh, aren't you guys streaming? How do you do it secretly? Gu Jun can't figure it out, is it the kind of iron and simple that everyone is iron?

After dragging for a while, everyone finally put on a protective gear under the guidance of the operator, got into the submersible and sat down. There are four in two rows in front of and behind the tourist seats, Gu Jun sits in the No. 1 seat, Li Lerui is in the No. 2 seat on the right, Lin Xiaotang is in the No. 3 seat behind, and Wu Dong is in the No. 4 seat.

Soon, the submersible's hatch closed, and they began to dive, enveloping them in blue-to-black waters, 200 meters, 500 meters, 1000 meters......

At this time, Gu Jun, who had been looking out the window, heard the three of them muttering something about it.

"Ari, are you sure you're in this area?" Wu Dong asked.

"I really don't know how credible this news is......" Lin Xiaotang's tone was full of doubt.

"If you don't believe me, I believe that guy, that's what I'm hearing...... However, the seabed is so big, whether we can shoot it or not depends on our luck. Li Lerui said that there was no signal under the sea to support the live broadcast, but he continued to take videos with his mobile phone.

Gu Jun understood, they were here to explore. In recent years, the Internet has always been full of all kinds of bizarre rumors, there have been many sea monster sightings, but there has never been any reliable evidence, occasionally a few photos or blurry videos have been posted, which have been proven to be fake afterwards.

But with the contact of these three people, the "news" they heard ...... I guess it's not referring to those Internet rumors, right?

"Audience." Li Lerui took the video again, "Look at how dark it is outside, we have already dived more than 1,500 meters, not far from the bottom of the sea." In order to get a clearer shot, he simply unbuckled his seat belt and got up to the edge of the cabin to shoot out the window.

"Mr. Li, please go back to your seat and sit down, it's so dangerous, there are many undercurrents at ......the bottom of the sea," the old captain advised weakly.

"Soon, soon, soon." Li Lerui made an OK gesture and continued to pat: "If it weren't for the submersible, human beings would be flattened by the deep-sea pressure......"

Gradually, Gu Jun didn't care about them anymore, looking at the hazy and rugged seabed outside the adjacent window through the light of the searchlight, and faintly expecting to see a dilapidated shipwreck.

But I'm afraid to see that kind of scene......

I don't know if it was a hallucination caused by a brainstem tumor, but he suddenly noticed that there was a half-human-high pinnacle protruding from the seabed over there, like a rock, but he seemed to see that its surface was full of carvings, various lines and patterns......

The more he looked, the more he felt that the carvings had become eerie, as if they were bleeding magma.

Deformed, sickly, yet full of life, even the darkness is burned.

Boom!! Suddenly, the magma seemed to erupt and rush straight in, and before he could react, it flooded him.

Yes...... It hurts!!!

Gu Jun snorted, covering his head with both hands, as if he was about to explode, and he was covered in cold sweat in an instant.

What are these visions...... Countless indescribable images poured into the depths of his mind, indescribably weird, terrifying, and crazy...... It hurts, it hurts! He felt his eyes bleed, blood-red, and he saw the storm, and he saw a huge figure...... Rising from the sea......

"There's a whirlpool, there's an anomalous whirlpool!" It was as if I heard the old captain shouting in a panic, "Float up immediately!" Return, fast !! ”

The submersible suddenly jolted violently, and fortunately everyone was fixed in their seats, but ......

Gu Jun seemed to hear Li Lerui's screams again, "Ah! And Lin Xiaotang exclaimed, "Ari!? ”

Dingding, I heard a mechanical voice in my head......

"Bind to host...... The binding is successful...... Detect the condition of the host......"

What is it...... Gu Jun's consciousness was a little blurry, but he could clearly "see" a system interface in his mind.

"The host's main inspection report is out, please check it."
