Chapter 21: I Am Indiana Jones
Soon night, the expedition team was ready to send another submarine into the sea to salvage the sunken ship with robots. At this time, Lovett received a satellite call from an old man who claimed to be the woman in the painting.
Lovett suddenly decided to abandon tonight's salvage activities. And then his assistant said: "This must be fake." It could be a prank by someone who wants to be famous. ”
"Hey, I trust my instincts. And that Chinese man, what is he doing? ”
"He's in the crew's cabin, he's just had dinner, and he should be asleep by now."
"This guy doesn't feel like a normal person." Lovett felt his instincts were correct, and whispered, "Keep watching." ”
At this moment, a team member hurriedly ran and said, "Captain, that Chinese man is gone." ”
"What, he's gone?" Lovett said angrily: "Find him for me at once, he is definitely still on this ship, and it is impossible for him to disappear suddenly." ”
Then Lovett saw Lin Ming standing on the deck not far behind him, pointing to the suspended submarine and asking, "Hey, are you scientists conducting deep-sea scientific expeditions?" ”
One of the team's bearded men laughed, "Yes, we're scientists." By the way, are you Chinese, or Chinese? ”
"I seem to have forgotten, but I remember my name, my name is Indiana Jones."
Lin Ming's words made Lovett, who was rushing over, start a fire, "Hey, if you're Indiana Jones, then I'm still Harrison Ford!" ”
"Harrison Ford? The name seems to be a bit impressive. But I'm really Indiana Jones. ”
"Please, you're a Chinese, how can you call it like that?"
"Why can't I call it that? Oh, are you the captain of this expedition? ”
"We are not expeditions, we are treasure hunters. My name is Lovett. ”
A fat man next to him laughed: "Yes, the famous Lovett, once found gold from Spain. ”
Lin Ming immediately showed a very surprised expression, "Ah, I didn't expect you to be the Lovett who likes to make money from the dead." No wonder you can afford to hire such a large ship. Could it be that what treasure are you salvaging this time? ”
"Boy, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with you. And I hope that until the helicopter arrives, you will honestly stay in the cabin for me, and don't mess around anywhere. ”
Lin Ming smiled, "But I feel very dizzy in the cabin, and I may not be able to remember who I am." When you see that I came out and made a circle, I immediately remembered who I was. That's why I think it's even more important to walk around and get some air. ”
"Don't think of us for the International Red Cross, boy."
"Yes, we're not good people. Don't really think that we don't dare to tie you up. So until the helicopter comes, you have to stay honest. ”
"Oh, really? It looks like you're salvaging something very important. Lin Ming suddenly seemed to remember something, and exclaimed: "Titanic, you are actually salvaging the treasure of this famous shipwreck!" ”
Lovett was really angry, "Boy, what the hell do you know? And I'm curious as to why you're here all of a sudden. It's better if you try to remind me. ”
"Really? But if you scare me like that, I may suddenly not be able to think of anything. For example, there was an incident on the Titanic back then, a story about a very famous gem. ”
"What the hell do you know, boy?"
Lin Ming smiled, "It turns out that you are really salvaging the Titanic." However, I have a bit of a headache and let me sleep first. I'll talk about it tomorrow when I think about it. And my cabin is too small, please change me to a larger one, preferably with a separate bathroom. ”
"Damn, do you really think you're somebody?"
"Hehe, if you want to know the story of Heart of the Sea, you must do what I tell you to do."
When Lovett heard the words Heart of the Ocean, his eyes became suspicious, and he thought for a while and said, "Okay, just arrange it according to what this guy said." As for whether it's true or not, we'll know when the old woman arrives tomorrow. ”
Lin Ming showed a meaningful smile and said, "Very good, then we have a good cooperation." ”
A member of the group behind Lovett put away the pistol in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Captain, I always feel that this kid has a bigger dependence. I suspect he might be an agent. Or a lone treasure hunter. ”
"So he deliberately said he handed over to Indiana Jones?"
"It's supposed to be like this, he's actually revealing his identity to us. Don't forget what Indiana Jones does. ”
"Damn, there shouldn't have been so many things. I have to get that gem! ”
Sure enough, Lovett arranged a cabin with a good environment for Lin Ming, and Lin Ming lay on the double bed and began to think about whether his experiment could verify the real situation of the movie world.
You must know that although the main scenes of the entire Titanic film took place during the voyage in April 1912, it ended when it hit an iceberg. But in fact, there are two modern plots at the beginning and end of the film.
If you look at the timeline, it should be the whole process of salvage from April 1912 to 1996. And this timeline is actually dominated by Ruth.
In terms of time, the world should have lasted at least from 1912 to 1996, when the old Ruth sank the jewel back into the sea.
For such a long time, Lin Ming felt that if there was more of his little butterfly, the history of the whole world might become completely different.
He felt that he should verify that this second time trip had made him appear at the beginning of the film, when Ruth was about to start telling the story.
And Lin Ming has already done an experiment just now, that is, he reported to his home. The result attracted Lovett's ridicule, which shows that he has watched the Raiders of the Lost Ark series and knows the image of Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones.
This verification is important, at least to understand what constitutes the world of cinema. The authenticity of the cinematic world has been raised again. Obviously, these are people who know history, they know pop culture. It's not just about living according to the script in the movie.
Does this mean that this world is real in all aspects except for the plot of the movie Titanic?
However, for the time being, Lin Ming can't verify it, he is going to wait until tomorrow and see the old version of Ruth first. Thinking of this, three photos appeared in Lin Ming's hands, one was Leonardo DiCaprio, the other was Kate Winslet, and the last one was the young version of Gloria Stewart.
Among them, Gloria Stewart is the actor who plays the elderly Ruth, and Lin Ming actually wants to use this to verify a guess.
The two photos seemed to be blown by the air currents in mid-air, but they were actually controlled by Lin Ming's ability. Then I saw that these two photos suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The next day, with the buzz of a helicopter, an elderly version of Ruth appears with her dog in her arms. And his granddaughter accompanied her. And the fat assistant who was waiting shouted, "She's a liar, either trying to make money or be famous!" Just like the Anastasia in the story of the real and false princesses. ”
"Enough, they've arrived. And there is also that Chinese man, let him come over too. I'm going to see what this guy wants to do. ”
But the assistant still raised his own question, "That woman died in the shipwreck at the age of 17, right, if she is still alive, then she is now more than a hundred years old." ”
"She'll turn one hundred and one next month!"
"Well, she's an old liar. I've already checked her details, in the 20s of the last century, she was an actress. Actors, look! Her name at the time was Ruth Dawson. She later married Calvert, moved to the town of Bore, and had several children. Now not only is her husband dead, but the town of Borui is also gone. And that Chinese man, I still don't know his details. I've heard they like to make fakes, right, so he could be a liar as well. I know what they like to do. I've been to that Chinatown place, and I was cheated out of 50 cents last time! ”
"The one who knows the gem is either on this ship or dead, but she and the Chinese know about it."
However, when Lovett came to the helipad, he saw that Lin Ming was already waiting there. He was pushing the wheelchair of the elderly Ruth, and by the way, he had a hot chat with Ruth's granddaughter.
"Why are you here!" Lovett asked angrily, "Don't you know that she is the guest of honor I invited?" ”
"Of course I do, so I'm here to help you."
Lin Ming patted Ruth's shoulder and said in a low voice, "This puppy's name is Jack, right?" ”
Ruth was a little surprised, and asked in a trembling voice, "How do you know?" ”
"Because Jack is a very, very important name for you."
Lovett felt that since the Chinese man appeared, everything had become troublesome. It's like this guy is a calamity, and everything is going wrong for him.
Ruth was placed in a luxurious suite on the research ship, and the crew was decorating the room with her granddaughter, Liz Calvert, and Lin Ming.
Old photos were taken out by Ruth and placed on the table next to them. And Lin Ming chatted with the old man very patiently. Ruth, his skillful guide, reminisces about the happy old days. This made the old man feel very good, and thought that Lin Ming, a Chinese man, was a good person.
So when Lovett knocked on the door and saw that Lin Ming was also here, his anger immediately soared. But because the matter of the gem was so important, he still suppressed his anger and asked in a very gentle tone, "Is the room still comfortable?" ”
"Of course, very comfortable. And your friend Mr. Jones, he's a good guy. ”
