Clone Octopus

Chapter 75 Sir Bruce

Three days later, Shen Rui and his party appeared in San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, a Caribbean island country.

According to Shen Rui and Ye Wuhen's experience, once the jade is lit up, they must set off immediately without further delay. After all, no one knows when the next strange event will occur, and they are never willing to miss the opportunity to explore the Bermuda Triangle.

San Juan is the starting point of the southern line of the Bermuda Triangle. The reason why Shen Rui and the others came here first was to visit an expert who specialized in this area, Bruce.

The Caribbean region is really far away, close to 20 kilometers away from the Bohai Sea. At this moment, Xiaoba is still on the road, and it will take four days to arrive at the fastest. Rao Shen Rui and the others took a plane and flew for more than [-] hours.

The special car from the hotel was filled with the equipment that Shen Rui and the others had consigned from the Bohai Sea. Ye Wuhen asked Lao Pan to go back to the hotel first, while he and Shen Rui went to meet Professor Bruce.

Sitting in the taxi, Shen Rui asked curiously: "What is the origin of Professor Bruce? Why do you keep saying that you can't do without him?"

Ye Wuhen picked up a bar of white chocolate, ate it and said, "The goal this time is too big. The length of the three sides of the Bermuda Triangle is more than [-] kilometers each. Tell us the specific latitude and longitude, and trying to find it on such a vast ocean is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack."

"So we needed the help of experts, and Bruce happens to be a top expert on the Bermuda Triangle, having lived in the Caribbean for over 30 years for the cause."

"He can provide us with some specific landmarks, such as the shipwreck at that landmark, and the underwater pyramids at that landmark. In this way, we can follow these landmarks to find the past, which is better than We're sailing aimlessly across the ocean."

"Professor Bruce is not simple. In addition to being an expert in Bermuda, he is also a knight conferred by the Queen of England. His family has a long history and honor in the UK. As the sole heir of the family, Bruce inherited the family's wealth of more than 20 billion pounds very early. All his wealth has been invested in the research of the Bermuda Triangle."

"In addition to needing him to give the exploration position, we also need to borrow his study ship, **. Bruce has invested no less than 6000 million pounds on this ship. It is currently the best study ship in the Caribbean. One of the ships, with the help of Bruce and the **, it will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort."

Shen Rui nodded. The study of occultism is indeed a very expensive profession. If Sir Bruce is poor, he may not be able to conduct research on Bermuda for so many years.

After thinking for a while, Shen Rui asked curiously: "Bruce really has the location mark of the underwater pyramid? As far as I know, in the past few decades, there have been hundreds of sighting reports of the underwater pyramid in Bermuda, among which expert-level ones have weight." There were no fewer than twenty reports, but no one was able to actually find the legendary underwater pyramid."

"All sighting reports are one-time. When the witnesses go to the sea area where they saw the pyramid last time, the pyramid will disappear."

Ye Wuhen shook his head, "I talked with Sir Bruce on the phone before, and he didn't have a specific location mark, but he summed up a line based on the witness reports over the years, and all the sightings are within this line."

The taxi used the city of San Juan and came to a coastal road in the suburbs.

People who engage in science often have eccentricities. The private research institute in San Juan was built on a cliff far away from the sea, where it was windy and windy all day long.

Bruce hated tourists very much, so he built the research institute on the edge of a cliff with a bad climate, just because he didn't want tourists to get close to him.

The taxi stopped on the edge of the cliff where Bruce's private research institute is located. To get here, he had to cross several kilometers of forest trails. Shen Rui gave the driver some money and asked him to wait outside the door. After seeing Sir Bruce, he had to return to the hotel. It is not easy to find a taxi in such a poor place.

As for this private research institute, it is very characteristically built, like a pyramid on a cliff, the white four-story building is getting steeper and steeper, and the top is a platform garden full of green plants.

The black metal door was not locked, Ye Wuhen was taken aback, pushed the door lightly, and immediately heard a creepy creaking sound.

Boom~
The roar of the engine suddenly sounded behind them. Shen Rui and Ye Wuhen looked back and saw that the taxi they had promised to wait for them turned around and drove away for some reason.

"You gave him all the fare?" Ye Wuhen asked with a frown.

Shen Rui shook his head, "How is that possible? What if he took the money and ran away? I only gave him a deposit of $[-] as a round trip of $[-]."

"That's weird." Ye Wuhen muttered.

The two walked into the courtyard of the institute, only to see that the glass door leading to the room was half closed, the pit in the garden was dug halfway, the shovel was lying on the side, and there was a plant that looked like agave, which seemed to be the The owner of the house was about to transplant the agaves into the garden, and stopped halfway through the work.

"Sir Bruce!" Walking into the empty hall, Ye Wuhen shouted in English.

There was no response, and there seemed to be no one at the institute.

Shen Rui pointed to the dining table near the floor-to-ceiling window and walked straight over.

"There were seven people in the institute, two of them were vegetarians and only had cereal and juice, the others had fried eggs and bacon on their plates, one person ate the fastest and finished breakfast first, so his plate and bowl were Stacked together, the others were interrupted by something in the middle of eating, you see, this is the spoon still on the side, the bowl of oatmeal was overturned."

When he came to the kitchen, Shen Rui touched the frying pan lightly with his hand, "It's still warm, which means they haven't left here for more than an hour."

Ye Wuhen frowned and said, "Why do I feel like you are Sherlock Holmes? Maybe they have something to go out."

Shen Rui shrugged, "I'm not Sherlock Holmes, it's just that I have more life experience than you. As for going out for something? Wouldn't they even clean up the porridge on the table? Even if they really left for something, they would be in a hurry and even a little embarrassed. .”

Ye Wuhen shook his head, "There was no trace of a fight at the scene."

Shen Rui said disapprovingly: "This is a group of scientists, not war madmen. If someone points a weapon at them, how likely do you think these helpless scientists are to rise up and resist?"

Ye Wuhen didn't like what Shen Rui said, because he himself was a scientist with no power to restrain himself.

"Come on, let's go upstairs and have a look."

Shen Rui and Ye Wuhen walked towards the second floor.

suddenly~
A burly black shadow rushed down from upstairs fiercely!
