The first thing Joan suspected was that there might be such an invisible giant seal hidden in the aquarium.
Through investigation, they found several species suspected to be from the sky sea in the aquarium. Unfortunately, they did not find another invisible sky sea giant seal, and the star sea did not react to these creatures at all.
Professor Lewis's gray eyebrows were sparse and clump together like a pile of weeds. Since he got this precious experiment from the sky, he has hardly left the institute and has no time to take care of himself.
From the initial enthusiasm to the current anxiety... he increasingly felt that there were too many mysteries about this creature. It almost overturned all the research on marine life in the past few hundred years.
Since the birth of mankind, we have lived in one mystery after another. Some people live in a muddle-headed way and never think about what is going on with everything that seems ordinary around them. Professor Kessler began to study the origin of life when he was young. Later, he felt that the original origin of mankind came from the sea, so he plunged into marine biology without hesitation.
The appearance of Kūkai is a disaster for ordinary people, but in the eyes of Professor Yi Si, it is a great opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
He was so eager to get ahead of everyone else that he was reluctant to share his experiments, but now he feels powerless.
"Maybe I should ask that old guy for help." Professor Yis sighed.
His colleague and competitor is Patrick. They have been friends for many years and they once had a disagreement over a research result. Unlike him, Patrick works in the official research institute in District 5 and his reputation and qualifications are not inferior to his. A few years ago, the two of them even competed for a student - that is, Ji Lun.
This is also the reason why he values Ji Lun so much, because this student is also a symbol of his victory.
Professor Lewis was very upset at the thought of asking his old rival for help, but his desire for success prompted him to send that email to Patrick.
Ten minutes after the email was sent, Professor Yis received a communication from Patrick. He knew Patrick would be interested, but he didn't expect him to contact him so soon.
"Yose." As soon as the communication was connected, the energetic old man on the other side came straight to the point: "The invisible sea creature you mentioned, is it an octopus-like creature with a head and torso shaped like a sea anemone?"
Professor Yi Si, who only revealed a little bit in the email, was stunned and blurted out, "How do you know?!"
Then he quickly responded, "You've seen it too?"
Patrick said in a serious tone, "Not only have I seen it, but I have also been studying it for two months. In fact, just yesterday, an assistant in my research institute died. He was swallowed by a mad experiment subject during an electric shock experiment."
Louis's focus was not on the assistant, but on - "You did an electric shock experiment?! How could you waste such a precious experimental subject like this!"
In his heart, important experimental subjects are far more important than ordinary people's lives. After all, there are so many stupid people in this world, but rare experimental subjects are hard to come by.
"Louis, I'm not you. I want to analyze its composition and body structure. I will try all kinds of experiments, whether it's dissection or experiments." Patrick remained expressionless.
"Oh, yes, so the giant octopus ate your assistant." Professor Lewis said sarcastically, "My experimental subjects have always been very docile and have never shown any intention of attacking."
"It's a pity. No matter how docile it behaves, you have to kill it." Patrick picked up a document on the table. "The document that District One just signed requires that all research on them be terminated. Any private research is now illegal and must be destroyed once discovered..."
Before he finished speaking, Professor Yi Si jumped up angrily and cursed, "Bullshit! Are these people full of bullshit in their brains? Why did they make such a stupid decision? Destroy it, oh my god, destroy it?!"
"I know you're excited, Louis, but this creature is more terrifying than you can imagine..."
Professor Yi Si interrupted him again, "It's just eating a person, there are so many damn man-eating animals in this world!"
"That thing ate my assistant and took on his appearance. If it weren't for surveillance, it might have already blended into human society in human form."
Professor Lewis' eyes widened in shock and he slowly sat down. "Transformed into... a human?"
"Yes, we call them 'Ortugard', evil gods that only exist in mythology." Patrick looked at his old friend's shocked and suddenly ecstatic expression, and reminded him seriously: "Louis, they are too dangerous. Apart from a sealed space, even the smallest gap cannot trap them, and they have strong vitality. The only way to kill them completely in a short time is through high-intensity electric shock. If you continue to study it, you might be swallowed by this thing."
Professor Lewis' eyes flickered, and he muttered, "Yes, I know, this is a dangerous creature, dangerous and fascinating..."
Patrick's voice became more serious. "Louis, I'm telling you this to persuade you to give up the experiment and kill the 'Ortugard' in your place as soon as possible. Even if you don't want to, its existence has been recorded. If you don't kill it within a day, someone will come and force you to do it!"
Professor Yi Si regretted it deeply and cursed: "I should have known not to tell you, old man!"
After saying that, he simply hung up the phone.
All he was thinking about now was how to take this precious experiment away safely. Yes, he wanted to leave here, and he would never be like those stupid guys who did something stupid out of fear!
It would be best to find a safe place to continue new research. After knowing that it can devour people and turn into a human, he can't wait to experiment!
He could try to get it to eat a person.
However, old Patrick must have reported the news that he had the 'Ortugard' here, and they would not let him leave it behind... If there was really no other way, he could only hide in the no-man's land.
Thinking about these questions, Professor Yi Si strode out excitedly. He certainly couldn't do so many things alone, so he decided to bring his most obedient and sensible disciple Qiao An with him.
He quickly told Joan all these things and told her: "Let's get ready to leave immediately!"
Joan was frozen in place, motionless. When she heard that the 'Ortugard' could eat humans and then take on human appearance, the photo of the aquarium taken by Wilder suddenly appeared in her mind.
Her senior brother Ji Lun and the woman were sitting in front of the glass cylinder, so close to each other, but all the light spots in the cylinder were gathered behind Ji Lun alone.
She recalled the time when she met Senior Brother Ji Lun again in the occupied area. He seemed like a different person at that time, and there was an indescribable feeling of disharmony.
All the strange things came together in her mind at this moment, and a thought came to her mind uncontrollably, making her unable to think of anything else for a while.
"Joan? Joan!" Professor Yi Si found that the student was in a daze and was dissatisfied with her wasting time. "I know this is amazing, but you won't be scared by it, right? You have to know how meaningful this research is!"
Qiao An came back to his senses and trembled as he grabbed Professor Yi Si's arm, "Teacher... Senior Brother Ji Lun, Senior Brother Ji Lun is probably also an 'Ortugard' disguised as a human!"
"Do we need to bring so many things?" Qin Minghuang watched Ji Lun packing his luggage. There were already four suitcases piled up next to him, and he was still packing them.
Not only the clothes and shoes, but also the watches and accessories, the necklaces, earrings and bracelets he bought for her during this period, he put them all in boxes and placed them neatly in a separate suitcase.
In addition, there are various tools, most of which are used to cook food.
As well as her toiletries, some miscellaneous gadgets she bought, as long as she had played with them before, Ji Lun put them all away in a box.
There were a lot of odds and ends, but Ji Lun, who was in charge of packing, was very organized. The clothes were neatly folded, and the thick clothes that were not needed for the time being were compressed and stored to save space. The shoes were washed and a bracket was placed inside to prevent them from being squeezed and deformed...
In the end, even the snacks that Qin Minghuang liked to eat were packed into a large box.
Qin Minghuang looked left and right and found that all the boxes were filled with her things.
Isn’t this too exaggerated
She squatted on the sofa, holding a large bowl of Ji Lun's homemade shrimp strips. The little jellyfish lay beside her bowl and ate the shrimp strips with her.
"With so many things, are you planning to drive a truck and leave?" Qin Minghuang chewed on shrimp crackers and said vaguely: "I think there is no need to bring many things."
Ji Lun closed the last suitcase and smiled at her, "Don't worry, dear, the enlarged RV I ordered will be delivered this afternoon. I have already measured the size, and these will fit perfectly."
Qin Minghuang: "But dear fish brother, all these things are mine. Don't you and the little jellyfish need to bring some necessities?"
Ji Lun came over, hugged her and the bowl of shrimp chips in her arms, smelled her hair and said, "We just need you."
Qin Minghuang: “…”
They were going to leave Area 102 and wander around in the no-man's land or occupied areas. Qin Minghuang was a little reluctant to leave so many delicious foods that she hadn't tasted yet, but before leaving, she started to look forward to it.
RV, no-man's land, travel, outdoor barbecue, new ingredients you've never tried!
She was almost impatient.
"By the way, your favorite drink is not prepared yet." Ji Lun thought of this and prepared to go out again.
"Come back soon." Qin Minghuang waved his hand while lying on the sofa, "And bring me a cake."
Once you get to the no-man's land, it won't be easy to eat cake.
When they heard the word "cake", the little jellyfish that were originally attached to her legs all floated up, making a buzzing sound. Although they didn't look like their mother, they did have some inheritance of her love of eating.
After buying two large boxes of various drinks, Ji Lun was choosing cakes in the cake shop when he smelled a special scent from the sweet smells. He paused and looked up outside.
This smell was the special smell emitted by a fellow tribe member when he was dying. There was only one fellow tribe member within the range he could sense.
He hurried out with the cake in his hand, and suddenly received a call from Professor Yi Si. He had repeatedly refused to continue working at the institute, and the teacher seemed very angry about it and never contacted him again.
"Ji Lun, I have made a major breakthrough in my research on the invisible sea creature, but the creature is not in good condition now. I need you to come and help. Please come to the institute as soon as possible!"
Ji Lun put the cake box on the passenger seat and started the car, "Okay, teacher, I'll be there right away." Even without this communication, he was ready to go and see what was going on.
After hanging up the phone, Professor Yis looked at the water tank across the wall.
Electricity was connected to the water tank, and the giant octopus was curled up and twisted by the electricity, rolling around in the sealed water tank, and a faint burnt smell could be smelled.
For the first time, it revealed its true appearance in its entirety. Its entire body turned purple-black, and its legs kept groping for the exit where it had previously put food, trying to squeeze out from the gap. Unfortunately, the smallest gap was blocked, and it could only struggle continuously.
Professor Yi Si looked away and looked at Qiao An again, "Are you all ready?"
Qiao An's face turned pale. "It's ready. When he comes, this room will be sealed and powered up."
They experimented with the effect of electric shock on the giant seal and planned to use it on Ji Lun later. They wanted to incapacitate the dangerous creature so that they could move it more easily.
As for this dying giant seal, although Professor Lewis was reluctant to part with it, it was a pity that it had already been exposed to Patrick, so he was destined not to keep it. But it didn't matter, he had a more perfect experiment. His good student really gave him a big surprise.
The dying black octopus in the water tank suddenly let out a cry, which was extremely penetrating. Professor Yi Si, Joan, and several researchers around felt dizzy and blood gushed out of their noses.
