Everyone has secrets.
And what Professor Stein hides deep in his heart is even more secret.
As a solid scientist and theoretician, he is called "the greatest lie teller of this century" by colleagues in the scientific community.
However.
Deep down, he himself is a liar.
He had many adventures.
Because of his fame, different organizations gave him too much financial support, allowing him to carry out various scientific expeditions.
Himalayan snowman.
The mystery of vampires circulated in the old castle, the legend of flaming skeletons in the west late at night, and even the ancient devil sacrifice ritual.
These rumors, which may be true or false, and those clues that are specious but not imitative, will be the basis for Professor Stein's departure.
During these scientific expeditions, Professor Stein saw many irrational things.
And most of the consequences are extremely bad in his opinion.
Last time.
In the snowy mountains, the hermits who live far away from the world and the appearance of otherworldly magicians appear.
What’s more, the team that traveled to the snow-capped mountains ended up with only Professor Stein returning alone.
The feeling of losing a loved one is painful.
However.
Compared to the chaos he saw in New York, after the daily balance of people was destroyed... despair.
Professor Stein felt he was on the right track.
…
"Ah, this kind of secret is meant to be hidden and should not be discovered. It should be buried forever."
"Originally, with my authority, I told the public that the Yeti in the Himalayas is just a rare red bear."
"After that... there will no longer be any organization exploring the secrets of the snow-capped mountains."
Professor Stein felt a little proud when he said this.
Because he felt that even if there were some pitiful sacrifices, it would be worth it if he could protect the majority.
Based on the scientific research statement he made at the science exhibition, the "truth" he told will make too many people choose to give up.
Like... red bear.
No scientific research organization will spend huge research funds to climb the Himalayas to find the legend of the Snowman.
In this way, the secrets about those otherworldly hermits will no longer be discovered by those miserable mortals.
all of these.
Just like the last New York incident.
As announced by the joint wanted statement, the Mafia organization is the final murderer, and all vicious crimes are committed by the Mafia boss Vallon.
Everything else is an illusion.
What is a monster like a mountain, what is a man who can reach the heaven and earth, all these are no longer important.
But……
Unlike last time, and unlike every previous scientific expedition, this trip to Atlantis completely collapsed.
…
"I didn't expect that people from the bottom of the sea... aliens, these things would appear so suddenly and intuitively."
"I can't hide it anymore."
"I can't go back to land and say to everyone and the public media that Atlantis doesn't exist."
"People don't need to waste their energy on this anymore, maybe they should explore the moon instead."
"But... the least I can do is postpone the secret here."
Professor Stein did not directly answer Nagato Yuki’s words.
But it was obvious from the meaning of his words at this time that he wanted to conceal the existence of the people under the sea.
The monster legends in the deep sea will not really appear on land before people's eyes.
Since he can no longer go back and make those "false reports" in the past, it would be better to have a "real accident".
"And with it the tragedy of the Mariana Trench outpost."
"I believe... that for a long time, deep-sea exploration will become an indelible shadow."
"This time can at least be postponed...I don't know how long, but it is finally useful."
From ancient times to the present.
The battle between scientific reason and legendary belief continues, and this continues to be accompanied by sacrifice.
Maintain the peace that more people should have, and maintain mankind's own scientific view of nature.
Find the path you should take, instead of praying to the devil, praying to God, and listening to those sad legends.
That's right.
Maybe the existence of those legends is indeed true, but Professor Stein is sure that humans have no need for them.
And if in order to protect the hard-won human world!
"This fight also includes myself, and I am willing to contribute to this."
"Even if I'm a liar."
“But I’d also rather die with those undersea people!
"
Language has power.
Especially when a person firmly believes in this path and is a scientist who has always been known for his rational thinking.
When Professor Stein said these words to Xiaodama and Nagato Yuki.
A series of logic seemed to be told to myself, and the temporary confusion before had disappeared.
The sadness of past memories is also gone.
He built himself like a warrior, like a warrior who fought alone to protect the secrets of the entire world.
…
"I...I have never seen anything like this..."
What do you say? !
Xiaoyu has seen all kinds of interesting guys, but she has never seen anyone like Professor Stein.
Is he a bad person? !
He had actually seen New York after it was destroyed.
Although the little girl was not present at the scene, combined with the kidnapping of the Black Hand organization, the mountain demon Bo Gang, the shadow... and the Holy Lord!
These keywords are combined in a series, and I want to know what that poor city will look like in the end.
That would definitely be a terrible disaster for ordinary people.
At least.
They are displaced, all because of a nightmare that is not theirs.
But... Professor Stein is a good person? !
This guy now wants to plunge all his crew members into the deep sea, including himself.
The so-called is to hide about... Atlantis!
Neptune Namor!
And...the secrets of the underwater people in the deep sea!
"Wait a minute, I'll think about Black Hand later."
"Well, let me first clarify the important point now. It is this professor. I feel like we should think about it again?!"
"Maybe it's not that bad after all?!"
Xiaoyu calmed down.
Neither Walloon nor New York can compete with this place now.
The key problem is the professor in front of me. This guy seems to be doing something crazy.
No... maybe it's not something that needs to be done, but maybe it's already been done.
It turns out.
A little girl's intuition is very effective.
"So...you gave up on the Plato first."
Nagato Yuki said from the side.
As the observer who has been following Professor Stein all this time, Nagato Yuki is the one who sees it most clearly.
"ha?!"
"Is this the submarine you came with?!"
"What's wrong with that ship? I haven't been on it yet...I mean, I haven't visited it yet."
Xiaoyu rubbed her hands.
It was her first time to participate in a deep-sea diving project, displaying mankind's highest deep-sea technology in the deep sea. This was a different experience for the little girl.
However, when she saw Professor Stein, she knew... her idea was probably going to be ruined.
"Okay, Mr. Professor."
"Just like Yuki said, what did you do to the ship?!"
"A time bomb planted?!"
"Are you just waiting for Peng to explode?!"
…
Peng!
This was not the sound of an explosion, but the door to the entire room being violently knocked open.
outside the door.
It was Castro who was in a state of embarrassment, and Nelson who was breathing heavily behind him.
"Fortunately, there are no bombs on our ship. As a specially-built scientific research vessel, our entire armed force only has these broken harpoons."
"professor."
"At this time, won't you give us some psychological comfort for what you just said?!"
Faced with the sudden intrusion of Castro and others, Professor Stein did not panic at all.
They all looked behind.
Outside the passage, there was a miserable-looking Lain. Dr. Singer, who had just been put down by Nelson, was trying to check his injuries.
And at this time.
In front of him is the genuine Mr. "Captain" who has always been on his side, and the black buddy who has always been protecting him.
The faces of the two people were mixed with anger or fear, but they were extremely distorted expressions.
They stared at Professor Stein with bloodshot eyes.
"Ah... you are back, we are chatting with the professor..."
Xiaoyu just wanted to say something.
But when the little girl turned around, she noticed that it was right next to Professor Stein's hand.
It should be the communicator used by the crew for internal communication. It turns out that the professor has been holding it in his hand.
Even though the little girl couldn't understand it, the flashing green light spots on the small black box undoubtedly proved...
"Um."
"Yuki, if my guess is correct, what he just said to us must have been sent out."
The little girl slapped her face.
Just what they talked about before, uh, about demons, about aliens, about New York, about how to bury the legend of the people under the sea.
All right.
Professor Stein showed complete determination. Since it was at the end of his life, he told everything without hiding anything.
Okay.
I don’t know whether the Plato bombed Xiaoyu or not, but this professor made a huge self-exposure.
…
"Unfortunately, I was originally happy about the extra two thousand bonus that I was about to receive, but now it seems that I will not get it."
Nelson took a deep breath.
Even the hand holding the speargun was shaking. Castro's condition was not much better.
Just now.
They briefly escaped from a deep-sea monster hunt, but they didn't have time to rejoice at all.
Professor Stein gave them a big thunder.
"I said I'm a theoretical guy."
"And what a coincidence, Castro, you told me this. With the advanced development of deep-diving technology, the Plato only needs to press a button."
"My theory tells me that all it takes is a push on the two red buttons under the pressure gauge, and then..."
There is no need for Professor Stein to say more about the rest, now that intelligent programs are so developed.
In addition to some necessary knowledge of deep-sea navigation, Castro knew that it was actually not that difficult to control a submarine.
At least this is not difficult for a theoretical scientist who has been studying.
"Those big fish broke the docking bracket, but in the Mariana Trench outpost, we only need to go to the communication tower."
"After sending the special secret signal, I can put the Plato on standby."
"Then taking the simple cabin here, we can get back to the ship, and then...return!
"
This was the best outcome Castro thought of, if... excluding the underwater monster that is now invading here.
If you exclude...the troublesome Professor Stein.
"That's right."
"Although I hesitated many times before, I still reset the order when I was on the ship."
"Remember the underwater rapids we encountered before?!"
Speaking of which.
Professor Stein suddenly smiled and looked at Nagato Yuki, although he was saved by the alien girl there.
But when people on land discovered it, the final burial place of the Plato was still there.
"The Plato is heading towards the submarine crater at a high speed. It's too late. You have no way to call the ship back."
"That's it, it's definitely over!
"
…
Time seems to stand still at this moment.
It seemed that he heard the noise outside, or that the influence of some high-frequency sound wave was gradually weakening.
The crew's mental state began to recover slightly.
Mentally weak and exhausted, they gathered from the room listening to the quarrel between Castro and the professor.
"The best of misfortunes."
"I feel like they're in a much better mental state now."
Xiaoyu now said quite helplessly, this is the first event that the Dragon Team has experienced in this new world!
Uh...it seems to be getting worse and worse.
"That's right."
"Something surrounding these humans is waning, and instead the big fish out there are getting crazier."
"Ha...didn't I tell you, Xiaoyu?!"
"Are the uninvited guests on this ship coming to hunt these humans?!"
The person who answered Xiaoyu was Ximu, who had always watched the excitement and didn't take it too seriously.
Sky demons and aliens, these two extremely special beings.
In fact, the two of them had noticed the special high-frequency sound waves emitted by Oka since the swarm of killer whales surrounded this place.
The reason why Professor Stein has been fine and Castro and Nelson are still in good condition is because they are closest to Nagato Yuki.
The rest of the crew suffered repeated mental breakdowns.
It does have something to do with them scaring themselves, but more because of the killer whales and Oka's special abilities.
Let the prey fall into chaos, gradually collapse in fear, and then be eaten alive by the big fish. This is Oka's favorite trick.
And now.
As Oka gradually approaches, the hunting game of amphibian mercenaries reaches its climax.
The influence he exerted on these crew members was gradually slowing down.
However.
The recovery of the mental state at this time does not mean a good thing, it means the greater horror of being on the scene... being killed by people under the sea.
"cut!
"
"This guy is really naughty."
Sky Demon Ximu looked disdainful.
Demons are arrogant, and the former demon king even looked down on these little bugs in the sea.
He's not Basha, he's a fish in the water... Ximu finds it disgusting, especially the fishy smell of the sea.
“It just makes me want to vomit!
"
The scarlet eyes flashed past, and the sky demon's vision was cast into the depths of the dim passage.
Where……
"Card!
"
"Card!
"
There was a sound of heavy footsteps.
Oka!
coming!
