Plato number.
When Castro, the submarine pilot, walked to the door of the lounge, he turned back and asked Professor Stein a soul question.
That's right.
If Atlantis must be false, why take such a huge risk to break into the forbidden area of humanity? !
Everything is unknown in the dark waters! !
Such extreme denial of something, such false search for the sake of falsehood, is not the attitude a scientist should have.
"..."
Professor Stein did not answer. He was stunned for a moment, and then he said as if he was talking to himself.
"I don't!!"
The voice was very small, not like he was answering Castro, but more like he was speaking to himself.
Castro turned to leave. The professor and the crew were in a bad mood, but he wanted no part of it.
In fact he knew it very well.
In this bottomless dark cage, it is extremely unwise to have conflicts.
after all.
When conflicts intensify, the sea will bury everything, maybe the weaker party... more likely all of them.
Don't talk too much, don't explore so many reasons, and let them calm down is the best choice.
Castro's decision was the right one, and as a former professional "captain" in the Navy, the decision he made was also the right one.
However.
Some accidents always come so suddenly.
Castro had just turned around, and the professor was still in the lounge. At this moment, a crew member hurriedly ran over in the corridor.
He was one of the crew members who had gone to inspect the pipeline warehouse as Castro said.
This guy's face was pale, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, and his voice even trembled when he spoke.
"Quickly!!"
"No, no, no, that's not good!"
"I, an undersea man appeared in our cabin!"
His face was full of panic, and even his legs were a little weak while running.
This seems a bit unbelievable to an old crew member who has been adapted to the deep diving environment for many years.
He shouted anxiously towards Castro and Professor Stein.
"!!"
This guy shouted incredible words.
"..."
Castro and Professor Stein glanced at each other subconsciously, and they all lost their voices.
Undersea people? !
Appeared in the cabin? !
This is not like the story told by Ryan with his broken hair before, and it is different from those horrifying archive stories.
It's like being immersed in a horror story, looking out at the deep seawater through the observation window.
"Boy, don't be ridiculous!!"
"Break time is over and this is not funny at all."
…
Pipe compartment.
The crew members who had just parted unhappily in the rest restaurant now reunited here.
Castro was no longer in a hurry to go to the submarine cab, because just now, their man said something that needed to be urgent.
"Undersea people!"
"I don't know what triggered you, but if it was a joke, this is already extremely bad."
Professor Stein didn't need to say anything else. Castro pulled the weak-legged guy with a serious look on his face.
This is different from telling a story.
Behind the electronically locked gate, is there an undersea man from Atlantis? !
Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.
"Maybe it's because you're dazzled, or maybe you forgot to take your medicine again."
Professor Stein touched his chin and looked at the anxiety displayed by all the crew members present. Then he looked at the "witness" of the undersea man, pursed his lips and said.
"shut up."
"I'm not wrong, I'm not talking nonsense, and I don't need to take medicine."
"Just now I opened the door as usual, and I was at the very back of the cabin. I could see clearly that there was someone lying under the big manager!!"
The guy sounded excited.
Even though he was a little unsteady on his feet now, when faced with Professor Stein's doubts, this guy's voice was really louder than anyone else's.
"This is the only weapon we have. We are here for scientific research, not to fight those devils."
Lane and Nelson led the way, followed by several other crew members carrying harpooned guns.
They only have these weapons. Maybe when they successfully contact the Mariana outpost, they will have some good equipment.
But that's all for now.
"I can't believe that one day I will use a harpoon to try to deal with Namor."
"Sir, I don't know if you are too stressed or if you are hallucinating, but I want to tell you that there are no undersea people in this world."
Professor Stein said as he took a fish shotgun from Nelson and then opened the gate to the pipe cabin himself.
Click! !
As the cabin door opened little by little, Castro couldn't help but say.
"be careful!!"
His expression was serious, which was in line with the serious atmosphere of everyone together now. The professor walked at the front, while others followed and entered the pipeline cabin one after another.
"just in front."
"The thin pipe in front is turned around. It is behind the air valve and under the main pipe. I can see it clearly!!"
The voice at the back came, and in line with the quiet atmosphere that everyone was breathing, even Professor Stein felt sweat on his forehead.
This is like a horror movie. No matter what you think, the environment and atmosphere are perfect! !
The feeling of being trapped in it is still chilling.
One step, two steps.
Turning around from the small connected pipes, Professor Stein saw the red air valve, and in front was the main pipe.
"call!"
Take a deep breath, although I don’t want to say this, but...there does seem to be something under the pipe? !
"pharynx!!"
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Professor Stein boldly walked over. In fact, he didn't need to get close, he had already seen it.
The professor's eyesight was very good. It was a creature about 1.5 meters tall, although I wanted to say it was a package or some other debris.
But... it's a pity.
Although it was difficult to see clearly due to the darkness, it was indeed a humanoid being.
Could it be...
Is the legend of the undersea people true? !
Are there really semi-humanoid or humanoid creatures under this dark ocean? Are the legends about the guardians of Atlantis true? !
this moment.
Professor Stein's sullen face and pursed lips seemed to be distorted due to excessive exertion.
"The best way to understand the unknown is for us to figure out what we are seeing?!"
"The great undersea ruler is only 1.5 meters?!"
"This is absolutely ridiculous. Now, follow me. Let's see what Namor, the King of the Sea, looks like!"
Click! !
Professor Stein pulled the bolt of the gun and put his stiff finger on the trigger. No matter what appeared, he only needed to press it lightly and the sharp harpoon would shoot through the opponent's belly.
then.
The professor bent down and got under the big pipe first.
Professor Stein moved very quickly. He seemed eager to reveal the truth, but the other crew members following him seemed extremely anxious.
"Really, what our guy said is true."
"I don't think it's a good idea, he might be sleeping and if he wakes up... we will die!!"
"Castro, Nelson, we can't mess around with that idiot anymore, otherwise it will be like in the story."
Ryan growled excitedly.
He became the backbone of several other crew members. He wanted to express something emotionally, but was worried that excessive noise would anger the sleeping beings.
"You're going to kill everyone."
Ryan and the others want to do something.
But the "real captain" driving the submarine and the black guy with a big fish tattoo on his shoulder were standing in front of them, not letting them go to stop Professor Stein from approaching.
"Just because you and the professor are on the same team, you can't ignore our lives."
The appearance of the "undersea man" seemed to completely intensify the conflicts among the crew that Castro wanted to stabilize.
Behind Lane were other anxious crew members, confronting the two in front of them in a dark cabin filled with thin pipes.
For a while.
Under the influence of emotion, Nelson and Ryan both raised their spear guns! !
"You all……"
The worst thing happened.
Castro had seen a lot of this kind of trouble, whether I was in a military tutorial or he actually experienced it.
In a submarine.
In a closed space that completely left human civilization and entered a state of deep diving operation.
When an extreme conflict breaks out, it will bring about an uncontrollable "disaster", and maybe they will all die.
He grabbed Nelson's gun with one hand and pinned Lane down with the other, his mind frantically trying to think of a solution.
if it is possible.
He really hoped that the shadow behind him was really a man from the bottom of the sea.
If Neptune Namor really exists, if Atlantis can really be found, no matter what the outcome is, at least his crew will not kill each other because of unknown worries.
"Hahaha!"
And at this critical moment, Professor Stein's suddenly relaxed laughter came from the shadows under the large pipe.
This moment.
Regardless of whether it was Nelson or Lane in the confrontation, all the crew members, including Castro, were stunned.
What did the professor discover? !
Professor Stein bent over, poked half of his head out of the shadows, and waved to everyone in a cheerful tone.
It seemed that the stiff atmosphere just now no longer existed at all, and he said in a very relaxed tone.
"Hey, don't be stunned, come and help me!!"
"Come on, come and see the Sea King you are talking about, haha, just this...a little girl?!"
…
Rest restaurant next door.
Used as a medical warehouse for emergency medical treatment, this is Dr. Singer's room. He is the most important person in the submarine. After all, no one wants any accidents to happen.
He had a long beard and a turban on his head, making him look like an Arab.
ah!
Even in such deep darkness, he must maintain such a look, which is really interesting.
Professor Stein got along well with him. After all, medicine is as rigorous as science.
"Let us thank the great Dr. Singh for his unique medical skills and excellent results."
"At least the instruments here tell us that this poor girl is a human being, not some bullshit undersea person!!"
Compared to the seriousness he had when he entered the pipeline warehouse, Professor Stein has regained his previous aura.
The room is equipped with complete medical testing equipment, and the doctor has already made a conclusion.
"Take a serious look at the reality of this world."
"This girl doesn't have fins like wings on her feet, and she doesn't have the characteristics of any weird underwater monster."
"She's normal, with nice short hair, oh, what a beautiful silvery grey."
"And you crazy people, you just rely on your imagination and make a fuss and scream, you can only say that such a girl who is still in school is an undersea person!!"
"It's stupid, it's just stupid!!"
in the room.
Professor Stein was the only one shouting. He seemed to have found the truth of the world.
He laughed at Ryan and the others without caring about anything. His exaggerated expressions, not to mention Castro, even Nelson, the black guy, felt that it was too much.
"Look, I don't want to argue with you anymore."
"Professor, what are you trying to prove by shouting so loudly?!"
Ryan walked up to Professor Stein. The two were about the same height, but with many years of work experience, compared to the professor's thin arms and legs, Ryan was full of tendons.
But muscles can't prove anything, and Professor Stein is not afraid at all.
"What do I want to prove? I want to prove you are wrong. You just almost killed this girl with a spear gun!!"
The professor stared straight at Ryan and said to him loudly.
"None of us want to kill her. If possible, I would like to kill you directly!!"
Ryan's eyes were fierce. He had had enough of this self-righteous bastard.
"come!"
"If you can, just do it, I'm not afraid of you!!"
Professor Stein took a step forward, and even deliberately bumped into Ryan in front of him, as if to stimulate him.
"you……"
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Castro stood up to be the peacemaker with a headache on his face, and several other crew members watching the show quickly pulled Ryan out.
"Are you stupid?!"
"Idiot, look outside the window, we are at the bottom of the sea, we are in the dark waters!!"
"Now, a girl appears in the cabin?!"
"Is this possible? Is this normal?!"
Ryan excitedly pointed at the observation window. The sea was pitch black. How could there be anyone in such a place?
Professor Stein remained calm when faced with doubts.
"That's why I said she was a poor girl."
"I don't know how you do your job, but it's because of you idiots that this poor girl is locked up in a pipe cabin."
"Excuse me, how often is that place inspected?!"
Professor Stein said, turning his attention to the guy who first said that he had discovered the "undersea man".
"Uh...according to the regulations, it should be once every seven to fifteen days!!"
He was hesitant when he spoke.
"That's right."
"But that's in accordance with the regulations. You disobey me and think that Colonel Howard opened the back door for me."
"So when we sailed out of New York Harbor a month ago, we brought this poor girl up and we didn't find out until now."
Professor Stein explained everything that was happening now in extremely calm and rational words.
"Of course it's impossible for a little girl to suddenly appear in the deep sea."
"But...because of your negligence, this result was caused!!"
“Look at the doctor’s exam!!”
"She has no reaction at all, you despicable murderers!!"
…

Lines of system prompts kept passing by, and the inorganic voice echoed in my heart.
"Unable to connect to the information integration mind body."
"Information is lost, the information subject is missing... a malfunction occurred!!"
[Uneasiness from Randolph Stein, obtained...]

"Unknown energy is connected, detecting [White Jade], self-checking..."
"The human-shaped interface used by the information integrated thought body to contact organic life forms... is being restarted!!"
