Chapter Twenty-Three: Conspiracy Under the Deep
Tachibana Masamune hurriedly walked to the bathroom door and coughed, "Eri, stop playing, hurry up and get dressed and set off."
There was no answer in the bathroom, and Tachibana Masamune waited for half a minute until a line of writing appeared on the glass door: "Got it."
The glass of the bathroom door is double-sided frosted glass, and the person inside is dipped in water and writes in response to Tachibana Masamune, as if he is a mute who can't speak.
The head of the Uesugi family, who had been taking a bubble bath for an hour, took off her headphones and put them aside, walked under the shower and turned on the bronze faucet, flushed off the foam from her hair, revealing her dark red hair color, and after drying her body with a bath towel, she opened her suitcase, fished out a small yellow duck from the bath, put it in, and took out the red and white traditional Japanese shrine maiden costume. After putting on the shrine maiden costume, she put on her headphones again, thought about it, and took out the little yellow duck and secretly stuffed it into her skirt. Her skirt was custom-made, with pockets sewn inside, stuffed with all sorts of little things.
Among the heads of the eight families of the Snake Clan, the head of the Uesugi family is the biggest outlier among them, at the age of 20 this year, she not only never speaks, but her mental age seems to be less than twelve, she loves to play video games, bubble baths, and a beloved slightly naïve little yellow duck.
In the midst of the tide, the white yacht is undulating, the bow of the ship is embedded with the silver Tachibana family crest, Tachibana Masamune and Kazema Kotaro sit opposite each other and drink tea, and the black-clad bodyguards are distributed in the bow and stern of the boat, with a short knife with a black sheath stuck in their waists.
The head of the Uesugi family went up to the deck, and the fresh smell of shampoo was still on his body. Wind Demon Kotaro immediately got up and bowed, although the age of the other party is not as old as his granddaughter, but the status of the head of the three major surnames is slightly higher than that of the five small clans in the family, and the status of the surname Uesugi in the family is higher than that of the Wind Demon family, which is known for cultivating ninjas, although the Uesugi family only has such a single seedling, but the etiquette cannot be abolished.
"Come here, let me see you." Tachibana Masamune said.
The head of the Uesugi family knelt on the cushion in front of Tachibana Masamune, but his eyes did not fall on Tachibana Masamune, but looked restlessly left and right, like a child who was forced by his parents to sit there and do his homework, feeling as if whatever he did was more fun than doing homework, and he could play with his nails for half an hour.
"I'm going to work hard for you." Tachibana Masamune touched the top of her head like a child, "I really want to go for you, but I don't have what you can do. All you have to do is cut off everything, with that road to the Yellow Springs, understand?"
The head of the Uesugi family stretched out his finger and drew a circle in Tachibana Masamune's palm to show that he understood, and then the hand retracted into the big sleeve, revealing only a little slender fingertip. She took off her geta and put it aside, and jumped onto the dinghy next to the yacht wearing only white socks, and she was the only one sitting alone in the dinghy, the black-clad bodyguards untied the cable, and the waves pushed the dinghy to separate from the yacht. Tachibana Masamune suddenly got up and walked to the side of the boat, and stretched out his hand to the head of the Uesugi family, the head of the Uesugi family lowered his head and ignored him, but Tachibana Masamune grabbed the cable and did not let the dinghy leave, and after the two stalemate for half a minute, the head of the Uesugi family took out a PSP from his skirt and handed it to Tachibana Masamune, and turned his head away from looking at him angrily.
"This is a major event related to the future of the family, don't always think about playing, let you have enough fun when you come back." Tachibana Masamune said helplessly.
Tachibana Masamune loosened the cable, and the dinghy sailed towards the glowing spot at the end of the sea, leaving a white mark of water.
……
"At a depth of 30 meters, the flow is stable, and the Dirieste is functioning normally." Caesar reports the situation to the surface commander Gen Zhisheng while manipulating the antique refurbished submersible.
Lu Mingfei looked up through the observation window at the top, surrounded by blue-black seawater, and the only light source above, as the deep submersible dived, the glimmer seemed to be projected from an inverted well in the sky, the deep submersible seemed to sink slowly in a well, and at the moment when it was completely submerged in the darkness, Lu Mingfei withdrew his gaze and took a long breath.
The surroundings suddenly lit up, Chu Zihang turned on the external light source of the Diriaeste, the four sides of the Diriaste are equipped with high-intensity spotlights, these spotlights called "Vasley" are enough to illuminate the space around the deep submersible about ten meters, but beyond this range, the brightness will be sharply attenuated, this is the bottom of the sea, and the dark as thick as ink is always eroding the light.
The bottom of the sea is almost as mysterious to humans as space is, but only when
When the submersible dives into the darkness and swallows everything in the end, can they really feel a feeling of being far away from the world, their journey has only gone less than one-twentieth of the length, and the submersible has fallen into a quiet, too quiet, only the sound of mechanical operation and whistling air currents in the ears, in this quiet environment, people's thoughts will continue to diverge and collide, there is a strange feeling that they want to talk but dare not break this quiet.
Caesar's face was serious, and his hands rhythmically switched between different valves and knobs, as if that operating manual had turned Caesar into an experienced captain overnight. Lu Mingfei had to sigh that Caesar was the kind of strong middle and second disease even if he was a middle two disease, and he looked careless, but to achieve such an operating level was undoubtedly to stay up late and memorize the operation manual, maybe he was driving a deep submersible in his dreams.
Caesar is such a person, no matter how hard and tired he is in private, but in the eyes of everyone, he will always look like he is light and calm, with a lazy aristocratic atmosphere that doesn't care too much about anything between his eyebrows.
As the saying goes, if you want to be noble in front of others, you must suffer before others, even the so-called blue-blooded nobles can't escape this simple truth, but the blue-blooded nobles are unwilling to talk about any acquired efforts, that is, they want to appear that they are naturally awesome, and they can do things that ordinary people can't do without hard work.
Caesar pulled out an aluminum tube for a Cohiba cigar from his combat uniform, and he usually carefully cut off the head with a sterling silver cigar cutter, but now the conditions are limited after all, so he can only be simplified because of the ugliness, so he directly bites off the cigar head and lights it.
"The cockpit is just such a place, oxygen is limited, boss, you still smoke cigars." Lu Mingfei said.
"The Diriaste has an air circulation system on board, so the cigar smell will drain away very quickly." Caesar said, "We're going to spend four hours in the sea, and if you look at me and I see you in a daze, isn't someone bringing down all the knives in the small space?"
"Someone" didn't speak, he had a long knife hanging from his waist, and the handle of the knife was against Lu Mingfei's waist, which couldn't be helped, in the design of the Diriaste, the cockpit was about the same size as an elevator room, half of the area was occupied by various valves and dashboards, and the three big men sat together, but the space for movement was really limited.
"Let's look at the deep sea in the distance, people." Lu Mingfei said, adjusting the "Vasley" spotlights and observing the outside through the thick special glass.
At this time, their depth had reached three hundred meters, and there were no creatures in this part anymore, only darkness was left outside, as if they were alone suspended in the center of the world before the heavens and the earth were cleared and undistinguished. This kind of darkness is really a suitable stage for intrigue and trickery.
"How high is the pressure of such deep water? Can anyone give me a visual explanation?" Lu Mingfei said.
"It's about 30 atmospheres, which is equivalent to a 200-kilogram girl standing on you." Caesar replied.
"Is that still a girl at 200 kilograms? Boss, you're insulting the word girl! You might as well say that I have a pig farm full of pigs!" Lu Mingfei protested Caesar's rambling description.
"Then when you reach the bottom of the abyss, you'll have more than twenty pigs standing on you." Caesar laughed.
"That dragon embryo is quite powerful, and it has to hatch on more than 20 pig farms?" Lu Mingfei said casually.
"There are also many creatures in the deep sea, they don't have gas in their bodies, so they don't have to bear so much pressure," Chu Zihang said, "The ocean is the home of all life on the earth, according to some estimates, the total amount of life on land accounts for less than 1 percent of the total life on the earth, and the remaining 99 percent of all life is in the sea."
"Dragon embryos can hatch in the sea, so dragons are born in the sea, right?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"It's a possibility, and there is an opinion that dragons were originally born in the sea and ended up on land, so choosing the bottom of the sea as a hatchery is like returning to their homeland, right?" Chu Zihang said.
Gen Zhi was born in the communication channel
Listening to the chat and fart of the diving group, this group of two hundred and five seems to be more relaxed in the face of this tense situation, and it is strange to say, originally the burden in his heart was extremely heavy, but listening to the nonsense of these neuropaths, there was actually a slight feeling of relaxation.
"Potato chips, potato chips, please reply when you hear it."
"Long legs, long legs, I can hear you very well, but you have to speak quietly, if Caesar releases the scythe, he will hear two beautiful sisters chatting next door to the cockpit."
"There's only one pretty sister talking, and another scruffy chick eating potato chips is hiding on the ground and remotely controlled!"
"I'm fat, I really can't fit into that small space, so I have to grieve you with a great body. If the princess is here, with her figure, she can be stuffed in, maybe there will be a surplus, but our words and spirits can't withstand the high pressure of the deep sea, and it's not easy to hide, who else is this task? I'm so boring, there's no hope of being a pioneer, it's a nurse's life."
"Who isn't a wet nurse?" Mai sighed, "We've all become full-time wet nurses for these children."
Not far from the cockpit, in the narrow space between the third and fourth watertight cabins, Mai Jiude was softly squeezed inside, which was full of pipes, but fortunately, she was a strictly trained ninja, and she could achieve the effect of bone shrinking when necessary, barely accommodating herself in this narrow and twisted space.
It seemed impossible to cram a living person into this space, so the personnel of the Equipment Department and the Rock Flow Research Institute were not interested in leaning in to inspect it, and it was difficult for the naked eye to see through the disguise of the Spirit of Words and Spirits.
Mai turned on the flashlight and illuminated the space overhead, and the black metal shell was painted with a yellow and black sign, which was a warning sign of radiation, and the limited space of this deep submersible actually carried a nuclear fuel tank. She took a deep breath, tightened her waistline, barely slipped out of the pipes, looked around the nuclear fuel tank, and then took the Geiger counter from her backpack and stuck it to the surface of the fuel tank.
After a few seconds, Mai glanced at the Geiger counter reading: "α particles are seriously exceeded, this thing is a nuclear bomb at all, the snake Qi Hachiya is trying to blow something up, this deep submersible is a manned nuclear bomb, and the three fools have not yet realized that they have accepted the mission to send them to death." What do I do now? Dismantle a nuclear bomb? Let me warn you in advance, I majored in liberal arts at East University, and I didn't study how to defuse a nuclear bomb."
"It's not as difficult as you think, the overall manufacturing technology of the nuclear bomb is not complicated, you only need to dismantle its detonation circuit, you don't need to move the main body of the nuclear bomb, I wrote the dismantling method into a document and sent it to you." Su Enxi said, "However, the removal of the detonation circuit will be detected by the people on the Sumeru seat, because there will be problems with the circuit self-test, so you have to disguise the failure of the detonation circuit as an accident, and I will also write a document to send you the method of causing the accident."
"You're going to climb out of the submersible! I'm 500 meters deep now!"
"So you can bring the medicine, and you are not afraid of the depth of 8,000 meters after the injection. But remember that you must take the locking agent after four hours, if you don't lock it, the bloodline will get out of control, then I will send the thirteenth to fetch you back." Su Enxi said, "I still prefer you to come back by yourself."
"I know, I know, I'm like an old mother." Mai pulled out a finger-thick air needle from her waist, and the blood-red preparation flowed through the needle, and she inserted the needle into a vein in her wrist to complete the injection.
The preparation entered the blood circulation and flowed to every corner of Jiude Mai's body, and the violent reaction occurred silently, and the powerful force seemed to be pumped out of the heart with the blood, all the way to the limbs, Jiude Mai raised her head and breathed deeply, as if she wanted to inhale the sky and the earth into her body. Unparalleled will, unparalleled strength, and unparalleled majesty rose from her, and at this moment, she was like an iron-blooded female tyrant.
"Long legs, long legs, have you now transformed into Her Majesty?" Su Enxi asked in a low voice.
After being silent for a long time, a crack appeared in the expression on Mai's solemn and gorgeous face like a queen, and she sighed helplessly: "Is this the tone of talking to the queen? The little slave knelt down
Come on, I'll do some manual work to defuse the nuclear bomb."
