Chapter 023: Sumeru

On the huge "scientific research ship", Qian Li, Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang, and Yuan Zhisheng sat cross-legged together, watching Caesar seriously deal with the hairy crabs he had just bought on the fishing boat.

The mission is about to begin, and it's hard to imagine them having the leisure to have another late-night snack.

However, according to Caesar's words, the ramen before leaving is really sorry for their identity and what they are about to do, and it is better to make up another king crab.

Lu Mingfei strongly agreed with this, but Qianli always felt as if he really just wanted to taste the taste of king crab.

To be honest, the mission did get off to a rough start, with the weather forecast showing a Category 8 typhoon and 2-metre waves today, which were not suitable for going to sea, not to mention that they only had 12 hours to spare.

None of the people on the ship cared about that.

Caesar wiped his sweat: "Ladies and gentlemen, come and try Hokkaido-style king crab, Japan is the number one when it comes to cooking seafood." ”

"I thought you'd say Italy was number one, boss." Lu Mingfei complained.

In his mind, Caesar was the kind of person who had to be the first in everything, and it was hard to imagine that he would be willing to be second in some way.

"It's true that Italian men are the number one in terms of culinary talent, but as early as the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese began to study seafood ......," Caesar explains.

Qian Li listened intently for a while, then tilted his head back to look at the boiled king crab, and his thoughts gradually drifted back to the time when he went to the ramen stall before.

Her appetite is not as enthusiastic as it seems, and when food and feasts become a daily dish, she only occasionally sees fresh dishes that make her eyes shine.

specially interrupted Chu Zihang's words before......

Qian Li looked at Chu Zihang: "I'm sorry." ”

Chu Zihang's movements paused slightly.

"It's nothing, just because I want to apologize to Senior Brother Chu for something." Qian Li added without a word.

"Okay." Chu Zihang hid the fluctuations in his eyes.

He's not a guy who likes to get to the bottom of things, especially when it comes to getting along with people.

The "research ship" moved forward rapidly, rowing through the huge waves, like a huge whale cruising on the undulating sea.

Caesar poured five glasses of wine and handed them each, saying strange toasts in his mouth.

After a while, a dark shadow appeared in front of their eyes.

The crow who followed over bowed his waist: "Young master, Sumeru has arrived." ”

"Send a light signal for Sumeru to open the dock." Yuan Zhisheng gave instructions.

"Floating platform?" Caesar looked over.

Gen Zhisheng nodded, his eyes calmly explaining the origin of the Sumeru seat and its internal structure.

On the Sumeru seat, hundreds of people were divided into four groups to ensure that the operation was carried out.

"Is this necessary? It's just a dive, but it looks like it's going to war. Caesar sat on a cigar and disagreed with the appearance of his enemy.

Gen Zhisheng: "Since you have the hilt of the sword, you can only let go when you die, and this is the way most Japanese people survive. ”

Lu Mingfei came over, took a small step back after listening, and expressed his opinion: "Huo, it sounds like a samurai, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, and if you don't succeed, you will commit suicide and become a dead man." ”

Yuan Zhisheng really couldn't understand that at this time, Lu Mingfei still had the heart to say bad things, and instead picked up his mobile phone, Professor Schneider: "This is Yuan Zhisheng of the Japanese branch is reporting, the diving team is in place, and we are waiting for the instructions of the headquarters." ”

On the other side of the ocean, von Schneider was expressionless: "Wait until I finish this cigarette." ”

The cacophony of staff is a far cry from the silence of the place, yet only a few meters away. After listening to it for a long time, there is an indescribable sense of separation, as if there is a thick barrier in between.

The noise and exclamation of the people around him drew an obvious line with themselves at that moment, and the enthusiasm of the world outside the line was clouded with fog, and the people inside the line could only watch stupidly.

Even if it is an exaggerated hand, no one will pay attention to it, and no one will see it.

Lu Mingfei watched people come and go, looked at Caesar with his bare upper body in the crowd in Chinese and English bilingual and occasionally mixed with non-standard Japanese commands, looked at Chu Zihang who was quietly wiping his knife, and looked at ...... Qianli.

He felt that his soul was divided into two parts, one was now posting a photo of him who had just eaten "Raw as a Summer Flower" on Moments, and the other was him sitting on the side with a blank expression.

Qianli also looked at him, and the corners of his mouth were hooked.

Suddenly, she made a hug motion.

Lu Mingfei's eyes widened.

Because he saw Qianli open his arms and hugged the expressionless shadow of himself.

He shook his head.

Qianli had returned to her original position, as if it had just been his delusion, though he seemed to be able to feel the warmth of her embrace.

"Senior Sister ......"

"Huh? What's wrong with Senior Brother Lu? ”

"Senior sister, have you been exposed to related tasks before?"

"Nope." Qianli shook his head and told him truthfully: "This is my first mission. ”

Lu Ming swallowed his saliva.

He said in his heart that the person who made this decision was really a bastard, and there were more beautiful things waiting for her to explore after such a flowery age, and he had to arrange people in this team that could die at any time, he was simply not human.

"Senior brother, are you nervous?" The corners of Qianli's mouth rose to reassure, "I will protect you." ”

Before Lu Mingfei could talk, he heard the sound of electricity sizzling from the earphones.

This is the signal that the mission is on, Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang both sat up straight, and Qian Li blinked, and also raised his head and chest with their movements.

But there was no sound in her headphones.

Professor Schneider was making the final arrangements, and soon, Lu Mingfei noticed her strangeness: "Senior sister is not in this communication?" ”

"Her assignment is given directly by the principal." Schneider coughed twice.

The three of them frowned in unison, and finally it was Caesar who spoke first: "We are a group. ”

Schneider was silent for a moment: "I know, these words of mine, she also knows, the principal will tell her." You just need to remember that once you encounter the "door", you will return unconditionally! ”

After some more advice, Schneider temporarily cut off the call.

At this time, there was an intermittent voice in Qianli's headphones: "I don't know who you are, your file is even encrypted to me, since Ange made an exception to let you come, there must be his reason." I won't ask questions, but one thing must be emphasized, whoever you are, come back safely. ”

For the first time, the man who was known for his stern and insane attitude in the eyes of the students of the Kassel Academy showed his only mildness to those whom he had not yet met.

"That operation had a great impact on you, Professor Schneider." Qian Li sighed, and changed his words: "But my mistake will never happen a second time." ”

After saying that, he took the initiative to cut off the conversation.
