Wren lifted his arm and looked at the laptop on his arm with a slight disapproval.
You can see from the big hole above, it is clear that it was unfortunate to be punched through by itself, and then it hung on the arm.
Wren couldn't help but feel a little distressed, this is a computer that he just bought not long ago, and he doesn't know if it can be warranted if it is broken like this.......
It's not just the computer that's broken, but also the desk and wardrobe have been smashed, only the bed, probably taking into account the particularity of students of all ethnic groups when making it, so it is made of relatively strong metal, which spared the death.
Wren sighed, took the notebook from his hand, and tossed it aside.
It's still a hassle to deal with these messes, and he doesn't know how to explain them if he informs the dormitory manager.
But before that, he had one more important thing to do.
Wren took off his armor and pulled out a few pieces of paper, which were the same materials that Aikman had stolen from Haft.
When he was on the ship, Wren already knew that some members of the expedition had become extremely aggressive due to the influence of the "wolf god power", and now it seemed that he was also affected, just by looking at the wolf, even this armor was not immune to that rage.
Thankfully, it was able to teleport itself back, even though Wren's dormitory had suffered as a result.
Now Wren was desperate to know more about the wolf, and could only hope that Aikman's profile would be written.
Turning the first page, Wren found that the information was not too formal, just some notes written by Aikman himself, recording some of his personal discoveries since the archaeological team explored the underwater ruins.
The first few pages are similar to the news content that Wren saw before.
It was nothing more than the archaeological team found some stone carvings, buildings, fossils and other things in the underwater ruins, according to the notes recorded, Aikman also thought at first that this was a simple civilization worshipping wolves.
Occasionally, some fossilized human and wolf bones were found, and Aikman didn't pay much attention to them, which was not too surprising to find, perhaps this civilization was once accompanied by wolves.
Here, Aikman also recorded a new life of his own, saying that he would love to find something more amazing to get ahead of Wald.
It says "that idiot", but Wren could easily guess who it was referring to.
Later, Aikman and others made a new discovery, the inhabitants of this underwater ruin seem to have a relatively strong upper body and an unusually long arm.
This discovery did not bring any surprises to Aikman, first of all, it was the first to be discovered by Wald.
Secondly, human beings in different regions will reflect different physical characteristics due to their bloodline, not to mention that this is a civilization tens of thousands of years ago, and it is normal for the appearance to be peculiar.
Wald originally thought that this trip to the underwater ruins would end here, and there would be no valuable discoveries, and even if there were, they would be taken by Wald.
When they returned, Wald would write a few investigative reports and publish a few papers, and then a large army would arrive and take some artifacts with them and put them in the museum for people to see.
Maybe on one or two of the objects, the name of the discoverer, Aikman, would be written, but that's it, and it doesn't mean anything to Aikman.
Until one day, the archaeological team made a new discovery, and they found a relatively complete fossil in the ruins of a stone house, which was quite special because his upper body took the form of a wolf.
The person who found the fossil was Ina, and Aikman said in the record, "This stupid woman would have said that this is someone and his beloved companion, a wolf, buried together, and due to various changes, the fossilized bones of both sides have accumulated together, forming the current situation."
Wald also gave his opinion, excitedly believing that it was a werewolf fossil.
Wald thought it was a werewolf fossil, and he said it would greatly advance the werewolf's appearance in the world, and he was very proud. He's an idiot too! “
Combined with the previous discovery of those fossils with large upper bodies, Aikman came to a surprising conjecture, he believed that the fossils were not the werewolves we are now familiar with at all, but evolved from normal people.
It is very likely that this civilized person has really been blessed by the so-called "wolf god". Those who received the blessing will gradually change their form to a wolf, and the more blessings they receive, the more they will look like a wolf, so they can find a variety of fossils similar to ordinary people, extremely strong upper body, and wolf shape in the ruins of the same period.
Even, the fossils of those wolves found by the archaeological team may be their "final form".
Although the original origin of modern werewolves is also the evolution of humans who have been cursed or bestialized, there is still a big difference between the two.
The change of werewolves is drastic and sudden, and after they are cursed, they complete their evolution.
But the people of this civilization, their change is slow, and they are constantly improving in the process of receiving the "blessing of the wolf god".
Aikman felt that this "blessing of the wolf god" could be some powerful treasure, and evidence of this might be found in the ruins.
So for the next few days after the discovery of this fossil, Aikman stayed to observe the newly excavated fossils or objects, and he became more and more sure of his conjectures, but he also found that others were gradually becoming aware of some problems, and in a few days, I am afraid that everyone would come to the same conjecture as him.
It was at this time that Ina died.
While afraid, Aikman couldn't help but rejoice, because after Ina's death, the archaeological activities were temporarily suspended. And there are many people in the team who have already had the idea of retreating, and they want to return first.
But the problem is, Wald didn't agree to go back.
Wald told everyone that he had a hunch that a discovery awaited them that would shock the world, and that even Ina would not forgive them if they didn't persevere. You don't have to go back, you just need to continue your work and wait for someone from your superiors to send you.
Now that I think about it, Wald's attitude at that time was very strange, a team member died, and the murderer was not found, why could he be so calm. The only explanation that makes sense is that Ina was killed by Wald, and he knows very well that there is no other murderer on the ship, and even if he continues to work, there will be no danger.
Seeing this, Aikman knew that if he stayed any longer, Wald would find out the true identity of the fossils, so he approached Captain Damm in an attempt to convince him to return home.
As a result, Haft listened to this conversation, and both of them died.
