What Fingal said was recorded in the Kassel Academy's action files, but Gu Bei didn't have the idea of going through the academy's library.

After all, since there is a party dictated in front of you, there is no need to bother to read the written word.

"At that time, there were a total of eight students on the mission plus me, and the six seniors were assigned practical courses by the college, and Eva and I participated in the trip."

"I was very happy because it was my first time on a mission at the Academy, and I couldn't sleep with excitement and drank a lot at the dinner."

Although Fingal did not specifically point it out, through his description, the consultant could more or less guess that Fingal was actually a student with a very good blood at that time, and EVA was not bad, otherwise the two of them would not have been able to follow the exploration icebreaker to the North Pole to carry out tasks just by virtue of their freshman status.

Gu Bei could even imagine how high-spirited Fingal was at that time, young and proud, talented, and beloved by his side, he sat on the deck of the icebreaker, surrounded by a gentle and playful lover, he drank the fire-like liquor, and scolded Fang Yu at the seniors opposite, the seniors looked at him softly, the wine ignited his enthusiasm, and also burned his reason.

At that time, Fingal was even prouder than the victorious rooster, he was a peacock with an open screen, and all the colors were shaken off his tail feathers.

But looking at the current Fingal, it is not enough to describe it with a defeated rooster, what to say...... Perhaps a lost dog would be more suitable.

"If I hadn't drunk that night, maybe it would have been different...... Well, it may be no different, in the face of that kind of power, no matter who it is, the result is the same, even if I go with it, it will only be a life for nothing. ”

Fingal smiled self-deprecatingly, Gu Bei didn't interrupt, but listened silently and comforted: "It's okay, at least you are still alive now, and you can still avenge them." ”

"Yes, I can try to resurrect them!"

As he spoke, Fingal looked at Gu Bei. Gu Bei pursed his lips: "My agreement with you is to help you resurrect Eva and resurrect other people, at another price." ”

"Until then, though, let's finish the story."

It's not interesting, but Fingal doesn't care, he already knows what kind of person Gu Bei is, and if he wants to get something from Gu Bei, he has to pay the corresponding price.

Fingal sorted out his thoughts and began to tell.

"I woke up late the next day and they had already finished diving."

"That dive was not a partner action, but a group action, so even if I didn't wake up, Eva was arranged to dive without a partner."

"At that time, Professor Schneider was the person in charge, so he did not go into the water, but was responsible for the overall command on the icebreaker."

"At first everything was normal, although my application for diving was rejected by the professor, but the mission of the diving team went well, they would make a report every ten meters of diving, and when I woke up, they had already gone deeper than 300 meters into the ice sea."

"The task may not be difficult, but when I naively thought so, when the diving team reached a depth of 570 meters underwater, the team leader suddenly turned on the public channel."

"Public channel?" Gu Bei asked.

"When they went down, the seven of them were talking to the professor in an encrypted channel, and no one else, including the support staff, could hear it, and so did I."

"But not only can everyone hear the public channel, but it even goes back to the Kassel Academy headquarters, where everyone in the central control room can hear it."

"The dive leader at the time, who was an A-class student with no better bloodline than Caesar, said something that I still can't understand, he said, "It's open...... Don't go in!" ”

Then he suddenly shouted sharply, "Float up and float!" ”

He said "float" three times in a row, and the signal was cut off, and his roar echoed through the central control room, and everyone felt like they were being wrapped around the throat by a demon's tail.

"What about the others?" Gu Bei asked.

"Then there was a strange noise in the signal coming back from underwater, and we could faintly hear their conversation, but we couldn't hear what they were saying at all, sometimes it was like whispering, more often it was like screaming in pain."

Fingal whispered, "What I just said is like a soul falling into hell. ”

"According to Kassel's rules, you should immediately recover the people under the water."

"Yes, I did it right away."

Fingal nodded.

"Because we were diving in the ice sea, everyone who was diving was sealed in a diving bell. It was an extremely sturdy thing, with a nanofiber safety cable hanging from it, and I ran to retrieve it with a mechanical winch as soon as I realized something was wrong. But what was put away was only a safety line, and there was no diving bell at the other end. ”

"The safety line has been cut?"

"No, to be precise, the people under the water cut the safety lock by themselves, and afterwards the college analyzed the fracture of the safety cable, which was cut with a diving knife matched with the diving bell."

"Dragons don't like things that can use diving knives, they come with weapons that are far more effective than diving knives, such as ......"

Gu Bei understood: "Claws." ”

"Yes, I didn't understand the meaning of this at the time, and then I thought it was because they were eroded by something underwater, and they themselves cut off the connection with us, and they just didn't want the erosion to be brought back to the surface."

"Erosion?"

Gu Bei was stunned: "Something like a virus? ”

"Yes, if it is indeed they who cut the safety line themselves, then it is clear that they realized something, in their judgment, that it was more dangerous for them to return to the surface than for them to die under the sea, to endanger everyone, so they chose to stay under the sea."

Gu Bei narrowed his eyes, and felt a chill rise behind him: "It doesn't sound like it's made by dragons......"

"There is no conclusion, everything underwater is a mystery, if we had given up the evacuation immediately as the team leader said, there would have been no later experience, and the professor's body would not have ......"

"We decided to go into the water to search for survivors, and we didn't want to give up even a 100 percent chance," Fingal said. ”

"There are no diving bells on the icebreaker anymore, so Professor Schneider and I used high-pressure metal diving suits, and I am confident that I can reach a depth of about 800 meters even without the diving bell."

"The professor also looks more than enough, I know the professor hasn't done it for many years, but it seems that his skills are still good, at least his physical fitness has not fallen."

"We disembarked on both sides of the icebreaker and scattered to search, this is the most reasonable rescue method, there are people from the school engineering department on the icebreaker who are responsible for pulling the winch to bring us up, and we are fully prepared."

"This dive looks no different from the usual dive, but I am very anxious, because I have gone all the way down but I have found nothing, whether it is the senior sister or EVA, they seem to be swallowed by this bottomless ocean, the water waves are calm, but I can't calm down."

"Finally, I dived to five hundred and seventy meters, that is, the water where the diving team had an accident, and the professor in the communication channel also reached the same depth, we drifted at the same depth in this sea, and all I could see was seawater, an absolutely pure seawater, I used a high-intensity spotlight to scan, but I found no body, and there was no blood."

"You went down because you detected a dragon's heartbeat? So how deep do you locate dragons? ”

"The dragon embryo is on the seabed at a depth of about 700 meters, and from the analysis of the seabed data, it is the peak of an undersea mountain range, and I am worried that if the diving bell sinks into the depression of the submarine mountain range, even if the people inside are still alive, it will not be able to salvage."

"But I overlooked a terrible thing, the temperature of the sea has dropped below freezing, it is not frozen yet, just because the freezing point of the sea water is lower than that of pure water."

"The realm of dragons...... Nibelungen. ”

Gu Bei, who had had a similar experience, immediately understood: "The dragon has hatched, and you have entered his realm. ”

"Yes."

Fingal nodded: "It's not just me, it's the professor too, I didn't notice that there was no longer a professor's voice in the communication channel, and the Nibelungen cut off our signal until I dived another 30 meters and suddenly realized that I had lost contact with the professor." ”

"I was in the middle of this sea of ice, at a depth of 600 meters, and I was running out of oxygen, and I had to prepare to return to the surface, when I noticed that the sea began to condense long strands of ice."

"The natural freezing situation is by no means like that, the length of each ice thread is several meters or even tens of meters, and the thin one is like spider silk, and these ice threads increase rapidly, criss-cross, and become ice edges in my gaze."

"I was blocked, I punched those ice edges, fortunately, they were still fragile, I could easily break them, but my oxygen stock was not enough, I anxiously called to my companions on the ice, but I couldn't hear any response, I understood that at this time, maybe I had to rely on myself."

"I held my breath and turned on the spirit of speech, the powerful increase brought by the bronze throne allowed me to directly burst the heavy high-pressure diving suit, and tens of thousands of tons of seawater hit me hard, but fortunately, the effect of the bronze throne was strong enough."

"I threw away my wetsuit, and then climbed back to the icebreaker along the nano cable, under the pressure of tens of thousands of tons."

At this point, Fingal had an expression of fear for the rest of his life, an experience that he will never forget.

After a pause, Fingal continued, "I escaped, but it was only luck, because the dragon chose Professor Schneider between the two targets, so I had time to escape. ”

"As for Professor Schneider's experience, I've heard some of him say it, and I think you will be very interested in my way of survival, maybe you will be very interested in how the professor survived."

Gu Bei did not hide his true nature and nodded: "That's right, I'm very interested." ”

Fingal shrugged, extinguished the cigarette butt, and lit another one.

"As I said, I was able to escape, it was just a matter of luck, because the dragon chose the professor, so it gave me plenty of time to escape, but the professor's experience was not so good."

"Because the dragon is right next to him."

"The professor is a professor, he has a lot of experience, and he realized it almost instantly."

Perhaps sensing that he was about to die, the professor did not close his eyes, but widened his eyes and swept around like a spotlight, because he didn't want to die without even seeing his opponent's true face.

Then he felt a biting chill seeping through his vest, and there was a thick layer of insulation in the wetsuit, which shouldn't be so cold even if it was below zero outside, but he just felt it.

"The professor described the feeling as if someone was blowing on your vest, but the breath of this "person" was absolutely zero."

The professor turned and pointed the light, but at that moment, the spotlight battery ran out, but fortunately, the surroundings did not go dark immediately, and the afterglow remained underwater for about a second, and in that second, the professor saw two different things at the same time.

Gu Bei became more and more interested: "Two different things? ”

"One is an extremely large black shadow, which is as large as a blue whale or even larger, and the second is a myriad of mirrors, with staggered prisms on all sides, each reflecting the same view."

"His colleague saw these two things, and then I felt a stream of air or water spitting on the mask, and the extreme cold made the polyester mask instantly powder, and the cold current rushed directly into the depths of his soul, and he lost consciousness."

"Fortunately, I had climbed back down the cable back to the icebreaker, and my first instinct when I got on deck was to call for someone to pull the winch, because my limbs were frozen, and even the bronze throne couldn't stop the cold invasion, and there was so much water pressure that it almost squeezed me into a meatloaf."

"The school staff were very productive, and after a while, two professors who had turned into frozen fish were hoisted out of the water, and the doctor said that he was exposed to extremely cold currents, and in an instant the temperature of his brain dropped to the point where he could not think, so his last memory should be distorted, between reality and dreams."

After the story was told, Gu Bei got up and took out two single malt whiskies from the wine cabinet.

Gu Bei doesn't drink, and Chu Zihang doesn't drink either, but the dormitory of the two doesn't know when it became a small group meeting, and now occasionally Fingal, Caesar and Nuno will come over, and there may be someone else in the future, so Gu Bei took precautions and added a wine cabinet in the dormitory.

The wine cabinet is filled with gin, sherry, brandy, whiskey and even reserve sparkling wine.

Well, that's not what you need.

Gu Bei didn't take the wine glass, he casually removed the lid and handed one of the bottles to Fingal.

Fingal took it without saying a word, and poured it down his throat.

It's like that fateful night.

Today's spirits could no longer ignite his passion, and the liquor flowed, burning his throat and boiling with rage.
