Chapter 229: Teach the little brother how to drive correctly and return home
"Dean, why did you suddenly become interested in the mythical Kraken?"
Neil was lying on the edge of the bed, holding her chin with her hands, and looked curiously at Dean who was flipping through the big head book, and a pair of small jios were kicking in the air, looking very good.
Dean touched her head and said in a serious tone, "Because I suspect that you are the reincarnation of a kraken, otherwise how could you make me so obsessed?" ”
"Hee-hee~"
Neil covered her mouth and chuckled.
For those who like it, no matter how greasy and ridiculous the love words are, people can't help but feel overjoyed when they listen to them.
She yawned, "Dean, I'll squint for a while and take you to something delicious in the evening!" ”
Neil had just had a fight with her mother, which had consumed a lot of recovery energy, and not long after she finished speaking, she fell into a deep sleep.
Dean gave her a doting look and refocused on the book in his hand.
Corolla gives herself a hint: the Kraken.
It doesn't mean that there are some supernatural creatures in this world, but that it has some special meaning.
After understanding.
Dean also had a vague guess.
According to books, the Siren is a banshee that originated in Greek mythology, half-human, half-fish, and half-human, half-bird.
In mythology, the Kraken feeds on people, but because of its ugly appearance, humans dare not approach the coast, so they evolve themselves into beautiful women, and use their beautiful singing voices to attract sailors on passing ships to take the initiative to plunge into the ocean and become food for each other.
Coincidentally.
With the beginning of the modern Great Voyage.
It is not uncommon to find 'ghost ships', i.e. when the ship is intact but empty and there is no shortage of food or water.
As a result, the legend of the 'Siren' spread around the world.
"Is there really a special magnetic field that can confuse people's minds and make people lose themselves?"
Although Dean felt that this speculation was the message that Corolla wanted to convey to herself, he still felt that it was too outrageous.
Be cautious.
He turned on the computer in the hotel's presidential suite and searched for it.
I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.
It turns out that it is not only ancient Greece that has the legend of the Siren.
Almost all coastal countries, in ancient times, had similar mythical creatures, although the images are different, but they all have the ability to confuse people's hearts and lead people to commit suicide by throwing themselves into the sea!
A phenomenon, perhaps, is accidental.
However, it is worth pondering that different ethnic groups and different customs around the world have derived similar myths and legends.
Dongdong~
Dean tapped on the table, picked up his phone, and dialed little brother Thompson's number.
This guy has a smart brain, and he likes this kind of strange thing, maybe he has paid attention to similar things before and knows something.
Thanks to technology.
As early as more than ten years ago, Mercury's wireless transoceanic telephone has entered mature use in the United States and the British Commonwealth.
Wait a moment.
On the other end of the phone, Thompson's somewhat frustrated voice came: "Hey, Dean, Mom said you went to the Commonwealth to play, is it fun here?" ”
"Thompson, you're not going to be in an emotional crisis again, are you?"
Dean teased.
Since this guy hit the Shura field last time, he hasn't been very emotionally smooth.
He guessed right.
Thompson was silent for a moment, a little frustrated, "I don't know how to say it, but it's true that I'm so caught up in something that involves the dignity of men that I can't tell anyone else." ”
"Green?"
"No!"
"Your girlfriend says you can't?"
Thompson is a little kid with the dignity of a fart man.
It's nothing more than being robbed of a girlfriend.
Or because the little brother is a little immature and his fighting skills are immature, some of them can't control the scene in the first few battles, and they can't hold on for a while and lose the battle.
They don't understand anything about this matter, and they are embarrassed to ask others, and in the end they can only suspect that their little brother can't do it.
This is actually normal.
Really.
When it comes to the second point.
On the other end of the line, Thompson was silent.
Really!
Dean grinned silently.
What a young age.
"Man, don't worry, you just lack the guidance of some wise people, it's unfortunate, your brother and I are the top experts in this area, so relax, when I come back, I will teach you some secrets that are not passed on!"
"For example?"
Thompson was skeptical.
"You're in a hurry?"
"That's... This weekend, among our classmates, we are going to hold a picnic party in private~ If I can't behave well this time, my girlfriend will complain to her best friend, I guess I will be famous in school! ”
Dean understands in seconds.
People in the United States love to have all kinds of parties.
Drinking is inevitable at the party.
While most states have a clear drinking age, it's easier to spark curiosity and law-defying excitement in Thompson's group of teens.
So this kind of gathering.
Stimulated by hormones and alcohol.
The first half was hilarious, and the second half was chaotic and hilarious.
...
After all, it's his little brother.
Dean could only put down his own business first, got up and walked to the balcony, lit a cigarette, and after organizing his words a little, he opened his mouth and pointed: "Thompson, you should have driven a car, right?" ”
"Of course, although I don't have a driver's license, I often drive to help pull things on my grandfather's farm."
"Listen.
In fact, the battle between men and women is the same as driving a manual transmission car.
When the battle begins!
You can't rush, you have to use the first gear to enter, and then the second and third gears can be driven for a longer time.
You're not an old driver.
Don't go straight to the fourth or fifth gear as soon as you come up.
Moreover, you need to learn to apply the brakes properly, which will help you continue to drive!
When you notice that the car is shaking or shrinking violently.
You can go up to fifth or even sixth gear.
Normally.
After a minute or two, and then you brake suddenly, you will find that the car is shaking vigorously, and..."
"And what?"
Thompson couldn't wait to ask.
Damn, why didn't I find my brother so talented before, it's just a pearl of words, and his mouth is a holy word!
Dean lit a cigarette and looked melancholy: "And there's a good chance he'll be spraying gas." ”
"What if you don't spray?"
"The car is getting old, get a new one!"
"That..."
"Shut up!"
Dean interrupted Thompson, who was full of curiosity, and said speechlessly: "Man, practice makes sense, if you are really worried, take your little girlfriend and go to my rental house to test it first, the key mom has, but you must not drive in my bedroom, there is surveillance, I don't want to see your embarrassing driving skills!" ”
Thompson: "..."
Which serious person will monitor and deliberately install it in the bedroom...
"Okay, thank you, Dean, by the way, you called me, there should be something, right?"
Thompson is now anxious to end the call and work on driving skills.
Dean couldn't guess what he was thinking, so he made a long story short: "Thompson, do you know anything about mythical creatures like the Kraken?" ”
"Kraken?"
Thompson came interested:
"Absolutely!
It's actually a very interesting thing.
On the European side, there is a legend of the Siren, and on the Asian side, there are similar legends and stories of Jiaoren.
Many social and mythological scholars have studied and published papers on the similarity of myths and legends.
Source change app】
I most agree with the idea of god-making in it. ”
"What idea of god-making?" Dean cheered up.
"In nature, there are many miraculous phenomena, such as the formation of flames, thunder explosions, typhoons, storms, etc., the ancients did not understand the principle of this phenomenon, so they blamed all this on non-existent gods.
Therefore, I agree with the saying that all myths and legends either originate from some natural phenomenon or from some conspiracy lost in history! ”
A natural phenomenon!
Dean asked, "Thompson, have you ever heard the saying that magnetic fields have lost minds?" ”
“... Dean, I'm just a fifteen-year-old, not Frankenstein, and not interested in physical things. ”
"Okay, let's do it first, I wish you a nice drive, and by the way, don't forget to wear your seatbelts."
"Got it!"
Thompson hung up impatiently.
Dean was right.
Practice makes sense!
He's going to practice his driving skills now...
...
The other side.
Dean had already dialed Mike again.
"I've only had some knowledge of magnetic fields, but I haven't studied them in depth, but I can help you search the internet for information!" , Mike's voice was weak.
His body is getting worse and worse.
"Your health is getting worse again?"
Dean heard little Mike's weakness and frowned.
He told the team that took care of Little Mike to tell him as soon as Little Mike's health was not good.
But he did not receive reports of this!
Xiao Mike's tone was clear: "Don't worry, the team you found is very powerful, my body is currently very stable, and it should last for two or three years, the reason why I have no energy is because I have been very interested in the data of a laboratory recently, and I have secretly stayed up late." ”
"Well, in that case, you can rest well, my affairs are not in a hurry."
"No, your matter is very simple, at most ten minutes, I can send you the result.
Dean, you have time, you come over.
I found something interesting!
You may also be interested. ”
"Something interesting?"
Dean, confused, hung up.
...
Ten minutes later.
An email was sent to Dean's mailbox.
Click to take a look.
Dean's eyes narrowed slightly:
"In October 1964, 835 false killer whales washed up on the Agenyan beach and died!"
"In 1970, 150 orcas washed up on American Beach en masse and died!"
"In October 1976, thousands of cuttlefish washed up on the beach of America and committed mass suicide, and this suicide process lasted until December, when the number was at its highest, tens of thousands of cuttlefish committed suicide on this beach in a day, and the corpses piled up!"
"In 1995, 1,500 goats on a farm in Turkey jumped off a cliff en masse!"
...
At the end of the news is an Arctic animal called a 'lemming'.
This animal, fixed once every four years, suicidal migration, in the process, they seem to be controlled by a magical big hand, without intelligence, not afraid of death, let themselves fall to death, drown, be preyed...
It is not until the population drops to a certain number that the individual lemmings will regain their vigilance.
Jingle bell~
It seems that the time for Dean to review the data has been calculated.
Little Mike called when Dean had just finished reading the materials: "This is the phenomenon that I have found in the shortest possible time, which may be the effect of magnetic fields affecting living beings."
The most interesting thing about this is the last phenomenon! ”
"Lemmings?"
"Yes!" , Little Mike coughed twice, and then continued:
"At present, the mainstream theory is that lemmings migrate suicidally every four years because they reproduce too fast and have limited resources, and they will reach a peak in about four years.
For the sake of the continuation of the race, a fighting migration every four years was formed.
But in the computer of a famous scholar, I found that those scholars, with the interference of certain organizations, deliberately hid a very important information! ”
Cow Pie!
Dean exclaimed and hurriedly asked, "What information?" ”
He had a hunch.
This message, most likely, is the secret that Corolla wanted to tell herself in the first place!
"Special magnetic field induction!"
Little Mac explained: "Creatures have the instinct to fear death, and only those spiders, praying mantises and other insects, creatures without intelligence, will be eaten by female insects afterwards in order to reproduce, so as to ensure adequate nutritional supplements."
Lemmings are mammals.
It is very difficult for them to actively form this instinct, so there must be some invisible force that influences them.
After years of research by scientists.
They discovered that every four years, in the area where the lemmings live, an unknown wave of energy appears!
Those scientists speculated that this wave was the truth that caused the lemmings to commit suicide, but due to the current technology, they could only detect the existence of that wave, but could not capture and locate it.
Of course, this was a study from 10 years ago, and I can't find updated information at the moment. ”
After listening to Mike's words.
Dean thought of the 'detective panel' in his consciousness, and couldn't help but say, "Do you say that there are real supernatural powers in this world?" ”
"Nope!"
Xiao Mike's tone was affirmative: "If there is, then it must be a phenomenon that cannot be analyzed by current technology, just like people hundreds of thousands of years ago, when they saw thunder and flames, they thought it was caused by non-existent gods." ”
"Thanks, I see, rest well!"
Hang up.
Dean stretched.
I figured out the doubts in my mind.
He felt a lot more comfortable.
"I hope that Mentor Anthony is lost because of natural factors, not by someone holding him hostage..."
There is still hope for the former to survive.
The latter, there has been no news for so long, and the possibility of being wiped out is too great.
Dean shook his head.
I don't want to.
I can't do anything about it.
He picked up the sleeping Neil and prepared to drive a rocker while it was still dark...
...
The next few days.
Dean accompanies Neil, eating, drinking, and having fun in the Commonwealth.
He had been on vacation for two weeks.
Just one time to immerse yourself in relaxation.
But Daisy's call for help interrupts Dean's good time.
April 20th.
With Neil's reluctant farewell, Dean got on the plane back!
