【4】NINGEN

Xue Fatzi's snoring gradually sounded in the boat hall, he could sleep peacefully on such a thrilling night, everyone had to admire the fat man's strong psychological quality, others because the hull of the ship had been swaying up and down with the waves, plus the terrifying humanoid monster that had just met again, under the dual effect of physics and spirit, it was difficult to fall asleep with tense nerves. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

At this moment, Lin Fan was lying on the wooden floor of the boat hall next to the sofa, not so much resting, he was more in a daze, just squinting. The three girls in the class sat on the sofa opposite Lin Fan to rest, Li Jiatou leaned lightly on Wu Lingling, the two girls snuggled and snuggled, and Ji Yutong next to him took off her black-framed glasses, revealing her delicate face, and sat quietly on the sofa with her chin in one hand.

Lin Fan's gaze was always on Li Jia, Li Jia leaned on Wu Lingling's shoulder, her delicate body was slightly undulating, and her two smooth and white legs were curled up on the sofa.

Lin Fan thought of the scene of looking at her in the cockpit just now, that look full of affection, in fact, Lin Fan was not the first time he had seen it, when he occasionally met Li Jia in school before, Lin Fan had also seen similar eyes on her face, every time they looked at each other, that kind of time and space paused, everything around them was annihilated, and only the two of them were left.

This is also the reason why Lin Fan always feels that his relationship with Li Jia is a little special, between him and her is like an unpredictable fog, after this layer of fog, he can always see Li Jia's glowing heart from time to time, this light and shadow is far and near, hazy, let him fall into it.

Suddenly Li Jia opened his eyes, Lin Fan saw that her blurred eyes seemed to be looking at him, he hurriedly took his eyes away from her, raised his hand to wipe his forehead, avoiding Li Jia's gaze, he used a perfect expression to hide his true emotions, and when he came back, Li Jia was already sleeping again.

Lin Fan was embarrassed to stare at Li Jia again, turned to the other side, and found that Jia Jun and Chen Bo were staring at the mobile phone, Lin Fan leaned over and found that they were watching the video with their mobile phone, and the image in the video was the humanoid sea monster that passed them in the huge waves just now.

"How big do you think this thing has to be?" Chen Bo asked Jia Jun.

"It's hard to say, the length is more than 30 meters, the height... The section that came out of the water was already 7 or 8 meters long. Jia Jun said.

"Let me see what you guys are doing." Lin Fan said to the two.

Chen Bo handed Jia Jun's mobile phone in his hand to Lin Fan, hugged his hands behind his head and lay on his back, and said, "Go back and release this video, we will be on fire." ”

"Yes, don't think too far, if you don't say it, Mr. Li will take away our mobile phones when he goes back, you see his secretive attitude with that Linda and Nishimura Yu, we may not be able to mention it when we go back." Jia Jun said while watching the video.

"Hmm...... That's right. ”

"Lin Fan, what did you shoot, let me see it too." Jia Jun asked Lin Fan.

"I didn't shoot it just now, it's too shaky." Lin Fan replied, in fact, he also filmed it just now, but in addition to the monster in his video, there is also Li Jia's back, so he doesn't dare to show it to others.

Chen Bo made a "You are weak" gesture to Lin Fan.

After watching the video, Jia Jun returned the phone to Chen Bo and said: "It is said that 2012 is the end of the world, is it true?" ”

"Why?" Chen Bodao said, Jia Jun said: "You see, even the apostles have come out, which means that mankind is really going to be destroyed. Chen Bo said disdainfully: "You TM watch Japanese animation and look bad brains." ”

"The end of the world is not said by Japanese animation, it is said by the Mayans." Jia Jun was unconvinced.

Chen Bo said: "It doesn't matter if it's said by the Japanese or the Japanese, I don't believe it anyway." ”

Jia Jun argued again: "Do you know how awesome the astronomy of the Mayans is? The time it takes for the earth to revolve around the sun in their astronomical calendar is 365.2420 days, which is more accurate than the 365.24 days of our modern solar calendar. ”

Jia Jun and Chen Bo argued about the end of the world, Lin Fan took the phone back to his place and looked slowly, the appearance of the humanoid sea monster was playing in slow motion in the video, its weird human face slowly slid past the side of the boat with a bloody mouth, behind the head was a whale-like body, and there was a pair of forelimbs that resembled human arms in the underwater part, like a mutant creature that can only be seen in movies.

Suddenly, a picture flashed in Lin Fan's mind, this was a picture of a sea monster he had seen on the Internet before, and it was very similar to the appearance of this monster, it seemed to be a sea monster in the legend of Japanese fishermen, whose name was ...... Lin Fan desperately searched for that memory from his brain, "the world", "the world!" "This thing is human!" He shouted. "What are you yelling about?!" Mao Fei was dissatisfied, Lin Fan screamed just now, and many people were woken up.

Xu Jin, who was sleeping on the sofa on the other side, saw that Lin Fan was a little abnormal, and came over and asked with concern, "Lin Fan, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lin Fan spread out Chen Bo's mobile phone, pointed to the humanoid sea monster frozen on the screen, and said to everyone: "I know what this is." ”

Everyone froze when they heard this, and the three girls lying opposite also came back to their senses at this time, looking at Lin Fan in a daze, and the squad leader Feng Hao got up and said to Lin Fan: "Lin Fan, are you joking or serious?" ”

"Seriously, of course, I've seen this thing online." Lin Fan replied.

"Network?" Mao Fei said with a little disdain.

Lin Fan said: "Really! I read an article on the Internet about the mysterious species of the earth, and the legend of Japanese fishermen has seen a huge monster in the form of a human, this monster has a human face, has hands, and the body is a fish, don't you see this thing like this? Lin Fan pointed to the huge white monster in the video and said categorically.

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this, and the living room was quiet again, leaving only the snoring of Xue Fatzi echoing in the living room. "I think I've seen a similar report in a foreign journal." Xueba Ji Yutong spoke at this time, Ji Yutong often helps Professor Li Dong translate foreign academic articles, as soon as she said this, Lin Fan's credibility of this monster increased, "You see, Ji Yutong has also read similar materials." He said.

"But there are no pictures in that journal, and I'm not sure if that's what it says, because there are very few witnesses." Ji Yutong said.

"Is this thing dangerous?" Li Jia asked softly.

Ji Yutong replied: "I don't know, it is said that they live in the high-latitude sea near Antarctica. ”

"Huh? South Pole? So how could Lin Fan say that it was a monster that Japanese fishermen had seen? Feng Hao, the squad leader, said.

Ji Yutong explained: "It is said that the first person to see this creature is indeed a Japanese fisherman, it seems that there were records in the 50s of the last century, but the recent records of this creature are concentrated in the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean near the Antarctic, our current sea area is in the South Pacific, not too far from the high latitude sea." ”

Jia Jun said at this time: "Lin Fan, what did you just say it was called?" 'On earth'?"

"That's right, but maybe not like that, because 'human world' is written in Japanese." Lin Fan said.

Ji Yutong continued his words: "The foreign journal I read named this creature 'NINGEN' and read it as 'Ningen'. ”

……

While Lin Fan and the others were discussing the white sea monster in the cabin living room, Professor Li Dong and First Officer Li Gang and Nishimura Xiong came to the deck of the ship wearing raincoats, and they were using a sextant to calculate the current coordinates.

The tsunami has not subsided, but now there is no longer the mountain-like wave on the sea, only a few meters high waves crashing on the bow of the boat, still splashing, mercilessly slapping on Professor Li Dong and the three of them.

Captain McCoster and Linda stayed in the wheelhouse, McCoster took out a bottle of vodka and steered the rudder while sipping it, and on the table next to her, Linda was uploading the photos she had just taken with the camera to her laptop.

McCoster looked at the three people on the deck who were drenched by the sea, picked up the wine bottle and drank a long sip of the spirits, he had been sailing for more than thirty years, and he had never seen any strong winds and waves, but what he encountered tonight made him feel a little evil.

"Linda, what are you doing with the Chinese and Japanese this time?" McCoster asked Linda, he and Linda were both Americans, so the two had become very familiar with each other for a month.

"McCoster and I just came out to work, what's wrong?" Linda replied in English, busy typing some document codes on her computer,

McCoster took another sip of the vodka in the bottle and said, "After we left Wellington, you have been walking around this sea for the past ten days, tell me why?" ”

Linda turned her head to look at McCoster and replied, "McCoster thinks too much, doing research is like this." ”

McCoster said, "Is that humanoid sea monster the object of your research?" ”

Linda's hand on the laptop keyboard suddenly stopped for a second, but soon she continued typing, and she replied, "McCoster, you think too much, if it weren't for the tsunami, we wouldn't have touched this monster at all." ”

McCoster laughed and said, "Lie! You woman was scared when she saw the tsunami just now, but when she saw that monster, she was calmer than when she encountered the tsunami before, hahaha. ”

Linda said: "McCoster, don't talk about it, sometimes our work can't be mentioned to others, it's a state secret." ”

Seeing that Linda had already said this, and knew that she would not tell him anything again, McCoster looked at Li Dong and Nishimura Yu on the deck, and said, "The things that are mixed in by the Chinese and Japanese will not be much better than the Russians, right?" ”

On the deck, the first mate Li Gang had just measured their approximate coordinates with a sextant, "We are now at 168 west longitude, about 40 degrees south latitude, the latitude is still rising, and the sea current has been pushing us southward." ”

Professor Li Dong said worriedly: "In this way, it will be farther and farther away from the shipping route, and it will be more difficult for us to be discovered." ”

First mate Li Gang also knew that the situation was very bad, there were basically no cargo routes in the high-latitude sea of the South Pacific, and it would be very difficult to find a fleet to rescue, so he said stupidly: "I can only wait for the communication equipment to be restored......

Nishimura Xiong looked at the turbulent sea at the moment, his attention was all on the corpses of sea creatures floating on the sea, Nishimura Xiong seemed to have found something, he patted Li Dong, pointed to the floating corpse floating on the sea in the distance, and then glanced at Li Gang, the first mate on the side, as if asking Li Dong to do something.

Li Dong looked towards the place where Nishimura Xiong pointed, there was a floating corpse of a humanoid sea monster, but this humanoid sea monster was much smaller than the one just now, it looked like it was only 1/3 the size of the hull, he nodded to Nishimura Xiong, and then said to the first mate Li Gang: "First mate, can you help me fish up a corpse?" ”
