"That relative of the captain, Chen Shan, has he woken up?"

If this kinship is not fake, even if it is a distant relative, it can squeeze some clues of weak correlation from it.

"Chen Shan has someone to take care of him, and he has the highest priority for blood transfusion, so I guess he has woken up."

After speaking, Uncle Qian dialed a phone call, and a young man in a wheelchair was quickly pushed in.

Xiao Young is sluggish throughout, and seems to be still trapped in the previous terrifying experience, and if he is slightly stimulated, he is likely to fall into a coma again due to convulsions.

"Tell us about the relationship between you and Captain Dong.

Now that he's missing, I need you to provide details about all the clues you have about him.

Including, but not limited to, places of origin, place of habitual residence, good old looks, etc. ”

Bai Ning just asked in the same way as a normal disappearance case, just to not put more pressure on him, if he could successfully induce him to say some important details that he had accidentally discovered, then his value would be maximized.

Through the intermittent narration of the young Chen Shan, he was recruited by the bearded captain on his own initiative, and he usually works on the ship.

As for the details of the bearded captain's life, he generally lived on the ship, and even if he occasionally got off the ship to run errands, he never took him with him, but just let him guard the ship.

There was a lot of rambling, Chen Shan was just a simple tool man, at most he knew some details of the bearded captain on the ship.

"In addition to going to sea to work, what else does Captain Dong do on the ship?

No detail should be missed, especially the ones that make you feel strange. ”

Bai Ning's follow-up question made Chen Shan fall silent instantly, as if he remembered something, but on the whole he seemed very uncertain.

"I don't know, I don't even go to the captain's room very often, it's just the kind of pure chaos.

If there's anything strange about it, it's that the captain often stays in the captain's room and doesn't know what he's doing in it. ”

After some inquiry, Chen Shan, a young man, didn't seem to know anything, no wonder the bearded captain didn't even bother to deal with him.

However, since Chen Shan is so dispensable, why did the bearded captain deliberately recruit him?

For all these things that the bearded man did, which one was not ruthless, how could he have any compassion for a distant relative?

If you want to rationalize it, then it seems that you can only start from the hidden value of Chen Shan.

In other words, Chen Shan is likely to also have the blood of the dragon.

Thinking a little deeper, Chen Shan may also be the illegitimate son of a bearded captain or something.

Instructed Uncle Qian to take care of the personnel in the hospital, Bai Ning returned to the fishing boat with a few capable personnel, and the captain's room had to be searched again.

The captain's room had been thoroughly inspected before, and the contents of the safe did not mean anything, and even with the use of a flaw detector, no darkroom could be found again.

A closer look at all the hidden corners revealed only a trace of hot roasting on the floor in the corner.

Due to the clean nature of this place, it is believed that the bearded captain had already taken care of all the details of the captain's room before the operation.

What can be burned, what can be lost, everything has sunk into the vast sea, and there is no way to find it.

As thoughtful as ever, as always planning and then acting, an opponent like the bearded captain is indeed difficult.

If there are more lice, I am not afraid of itching, anyway, there is an existence like the Night Demon Society who wants to make a profit, then the Night Demon Society will inevitably fortify the bearded captain, and Bai Ning's overall pressure may not be as great as expected.

Losing the possibility of tracking the bearded man, Bai Ning took a large amount of equipment with the help of Uncle Qian and prepared to return to the Dragon Palace from the previous mountain crack.

I don't know if it was because the heavy rain flooded the underground cavity that destroyed the sealing, or because the mountain rain only filled the cracks in the mountain, and when Bai Ning arrived, the entire downward passage of the cave was full of water.

Diving in complex mountain crevasses requires not only high technical requirements, but also oxygen reserves.

If the time estimation fails, it will immediately fall into a hypoxia crisis, and if the rescue is not timely, it will be drowned alive.

Faced with such a problem, Bai Ning could only ask Uncle Qian to recruit professional divers.

Time flickered, and a few days passed in vain.

In order to find something to do for himself, Bai Ning returned to the bearded sea ship with a large number of personnel to conduct carpet inspections, but there were still no effective clues in the cabin.

If the active search is fruitless, then you can only passively wait for the opportunity.

I don't know if the personnel of the Daredevil Club have already done something to the bearded captain, and he has not appeared during this period, and even Liu Cheng and Chen Shan in the hospital have no traces of contact.

After a few days of recuperation and eating seafood from the mountains and seas, Liu Cheng recovered very well, and when the professional divers and equipment were in place, Liu Cheng was already able to jump around.

Unable to bear the loneliness, he deliberately went to the diving site to observe, but he did not bring good luck, and the exploration of the rift was very slow.

A large number of forks in the road seem to be created abruptly, consuming a lot of the diver's time.

After several days of continuous exploration, the results are still grim, and the entire underground cavity has been poured into the seawater, which seems to have been connected to the entire Bohai Bay.

The result was very bad, the entire underground cavity was flooded with seawater, and oxygen was the ultimate limiting factor in wanting to enter and explore.

With the size and complexity of the underground cavity, even if a large number of oxygen cylinders are sent in advance, it is impossible for people to explore something well in the state of diving.

It is no exaggeration to say that if you want to continue to explore something in this real underwater dragon palace, the cost performance is not ordinarily low.

After thinking about it as a whole, the only effective clue at present is the piece of ancient dragon jade pendant that Liu Cheng obtained in his unconscious state.

It took so much time, but in the end it just ended up in vain, not to mention how uncomfortable it was, but it felt as if something was deliberately separated between him and the truth.

The bearded captain's original blood sacrifice was very successful, and he had already summoned the dragon soul imprisoned in the dragon pillar, and then the torrential rain poured down, and the earth shook the mountains, heralding the arrival of the dragon.

But in the end, no one witnessed the dragon, and the underwater dragon palace was even flooded by the seawater, as if something was deliberately hiding the traces of dragon hunting in the underground cavity.

Everything is close to the state of mystery and mystery, but even if you know that the divine dragon really exists, what can you get with just a dragon-shaped jade pendant?

The dragon-shaped jade pendant symbolizes the divine power of the Mandate of Heaven, but what can this guide to?

You can't dig up a few tombs of the war royal family and look for relevant analogous clues, right?

This kind of thing is ridiculous to think about, not to mention the location of the ancient tomb, even if you know all the ancient tomb ruins, Bai Ning can't be sure that there are definite clues in that big tomb.

Everything was annihilated by a flood, and the distance between them and the dragon was still separated by an invisible barrier.

"Do you have any additional memories besides obtaining this jade pendant in the underground cavity?

Whether it's a dream-like memory or a strange fantasy, as long as you can recall it, tell everything in detail. ”

Glancing at Liu Cheng, who was eating roast chicken next to him, looking at his portrait of returning to the original mixed eating and waiting for death, Bai Ning still patiently asked a few words.

Being asked by Bai Ning suddenly, Liu Cheng was also stunned, feeling that he was getting farther and farther away from the next roast chicken, and he only felt a blank in his mind.

"I don't know.

I don't have the slightest memory of what happened that night, as if I had lost my memory out of thin air. ”

The expected answer was just like the special dragon search method that Liu Cheng recalled at the beginning, which may be one of the sequelae of the blood sacrifice.

Suddenly recalled the completely different Liu Cheng at the beginning, the Liu Cheng who seemed to be fully awakened by the dragon bloodline, Bai Ning felt a little, is all the relevant memories in Liu Cheng's other personality?

Do you need a special way to switch to another personality?

As soon as he thought of this, Bai Ning thought of the golden crystal nucleus that stored the dragon's soul.

"Come, take these two things, take a good look at them, and see if you can recall something."

Seeing the two things that Bai Ning handed over, Liu Cheng ate the little roast chicken left in two bites, and his two greasy paws immediately took it.

The expected drastic change did not happen, but Liu Cheng's whole person did look like some subtle changes.

The original lonely temperament seemed to be gradually returning to his body, and after more than ten seconds, the chaotic Liu Cheng suddenly became clever, as if he had been awakened from a dream.

It's still the same hanging appearance of eating and waiting for death, it seems that the crystal nucleus with the dragon soul is useful to him, but it is not of great use.

"What did you just see?"

Bai Ning asked lightly, as if he wasn't looking forward to Liu Cheng's encounter just now.

"I seem to hear the familiar roar of the dragon."

Liu Cheng's response was very surprised, as if he remembered something.

This way of responding is ambiguous, and there are actually a lot of things that can be associated with the sound of the dragon's groan, whether it is the result of Liu Cheng's use of a special method to find the dragon, or the process of searching for the dragon through the blood sacrifice this time.

In this regard, Bai Ning was not in a hurry, but quietly waited for Liu Cheng to tell the follow-up story by himself.

It's a pity that Liu Cheng's memory seems to have been suddenly cut off, and he was silent for several minutes before he could continue to recall.

"I remember how I used a special way to find dragons.

After I knew that I was a descendant of the Dragon Clan, I pricked my finger and dripped some blood into the reeds and ditch where the dragon fell.

Then a dragon roar appeared in my head, and I was scared into the water.

After falling into the water, I felt like my blood couldn't stop, and I started to bleed like crazy, and then I fainted.

Before I fell unconscious, I dimly saw that something was glowing underneath.

As for what is glowing, I don't know.

And how I didn't die, I don't know.

All I know is that when I woke up, I was lying in the reeds, cold, as if I had caught a cold, and I was dizzy for days. ”

Liu Cheng's recollection, the first thing that made Bai Ning associate was that Liu Cheng's bloodline was related to the keel left in the falling dragon ground.
