Abyss

Before it was summer, the weather was already so hot that Linqian felt a little uncomfortable.The white gauze curtain at the window floats softly, but the wind blowing in is also warm; the light and shadow on the ground are mottled, undulating with the white gauze curtain, making people drowsy even more.

His hands are almost healed, the gauze has been removed, and the small wounds that haven't healed are covered with bandages.These few days are pretty cool, Jiang Xuanye has been living in his own home, very virtuous contracted the housework of all sizes.Linqian is a bit lazy, for things like eating, he would rather not eat than do it himself, so he returned home after work, took a hot shower, lay on the sofa and played games, and waited for Jiang Xuanye to come back to cook.

It's rare to be able to go home so early on Fridays. In the past, Linqian was either arranged for a blind date or rushed back to Jiang Chao's villa for dinner, and took the letter from Lin Qiubai by the way.And since the video call was arranged last time, there may have been no problems, and all follow-up decisions will be made in this form of video calls.The next call is scheduled for Saturday.

Lin Qian has always been in poor health, until the last time he fainted in the office, the people around him loved him even more.Jiang Chao only found out about his injury after he fainted. On the one hand, he felt that he was honored to stand up in times of crisis. blind date.

This is a half day's leisure while diving, lying on the sofa with his head resting on the armrest of the sofa, and crossing his legs leisurely.He usually pays more attention to his own image, no matter how hot it is, he has to dress appropriately. It is rare for him to lie there with only a pair of underwear playing games like this now.There is no special reason, I just feel that this summer is extraordinarily hot.

Jiang Xuanye was also startled when he returned home with the vegetables he bought, thinking that a thief had entered the house in a trance, "Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"

Lin Qian frowned, without raising his head, "Hot."

Looking at his expression, Jiang Xuanye knew that it must be that the game was not going very smoothly.Linqian is good at studying, has a strong working ability, and is good-looking, but he can't understand anything about this game, but he likes to play it.At the beginning, Jiang Xuanye applied for his trumpet to take him, but later four or five of his own trumpets became kings, but Linqian was always wandering in gold.Jiang Xuanye had no choice but to fight for him.

"Wait for me to pack up the vegetables I bought and make them for you."

It is said that people in good health are not afraid of cold or heat, Jiang Xuanye is like this, wearing a windbreaker all year round, it can be said that he practiced three times in winter and practiced in summer.Lin Qian raised his head and glanced at him, feeling hot to see him, then lowered his head and continued playing this bad game.Cao Cao on the opposite side was so powerful that he couldn't breathe and couldn't develop, so he simply went on the road, avoiding and not fighting.

Jiang Xuanye brought a lot of things back by himself.After finishing work, he first went to the market, then went to the supermarket, bought a lot of things, filled up the refrigerator in Linqian's home which was not connected to electricity, plugged it in, and there was a beep.

"Have a glass of yogurt."

"Thank you Lord Ron."

Lin Qian took the yogurt, and handed the mobile phone to Jiang Xuanye by the way.Thinking about it, I don't know who takes care of whom more after all these years.

While eating, Jiang Xuanye asked, "Are you going to call Uncle Lin tomorrow?"

"Yes. Still in the Public Security Bureau."

"Why are you there again?"

I don't know why I'm there again, but this time the video is scheduled for Saturday, less than a week since the last video, which is far more frequent than the previous communication.This is to a certain extent expected in the dive.Since the last time he went to the Provincial Public Security Bureau, his life has been extremely peaceful, and he has never asked any questions about Lin Qiubai.Those people should have confirmed that such a video call would not pose any threat to them, so they didn't care much.

The time of the video was notified by Yang Cuolai at home. It was already dark when Linqian finished the vehicle transfer and returned home, so he was not in a hurry. Anyway, Jiang Xuanye was cooking at home, so he could eat ready-made food when he returned home. of.Unexpectedly, I ran into Yang Cuo downstairs at home.Yang Cuo should have come directly from the work unit. He was still wearing a police uniform. He was standing under the streetlight downstairs of his house while smoking and talking on the phone. There was still no superfluous expression on his face.

This is a man who keeps his emotions inside.Lin Qian saw him from a distance, and he also saw Lin Qian, so he hung up the phone and extinguished the cigarette in his hand.

"Is Police Officer Yang here to look for me?" Lin Qian walked forward with a smile, and raised his eyes slightly to see the light that was on upstairs.

"Mr. Lin, hello, I'm here..."

"Why don't we go upstairs and talk about it?"

"……Okay, thank you."

Yang Cuo thought about it and agreed.In fact, when Linqian saw him standing downstairs in his house, he knew what he was here for.The intersection between myself and him only exists on two lines. One is about Jiang Xuanye, a monster, but if he is looking for Jiang Xuanye, he can just go upstairs to get him. white matter.It's true that I didn't leave a phone number for him, but he could find his home. Isn't it easy to find a phone number?It is estimated that this matter needs to be kept strictly confidential and must be conveyed mouth to mouth.That being the case, it would be inconvenient to talk about it in a more open place like downstairs, so Linqian invited him upstairs.

When taking the elevator, Linqian said a few more polite words, "Have you eaten, Jiang Xuanye cooks at home, etc." Yang Cuo simply answered.In fact, Linqian thought about it again. It is not difficult for the public security department to encrypt the phone. I am afraid that this matter is not completely transparent to the entire public security system, and only a very small number of people know about it.And Yang Cuo should be regarded as one of them.

Opening the door, Jiang Xuanye was shocked to see Yang Cuo's truth, but soon realized that Yang Cuo didn't come to find him.

"Your Majesty, take another pair of bowls and chopsticks!"

"Okay!" Jiang Xuanye acted extremely well-behaved in front of Yang Cuo, not like an emperor but like a eunuch.

Watching Jiang Xuanye get into the kitchen, Yang Cuo said in a low voice, "This Saturday at two o'clock in the afternoon, the Provincial Public Security Bureau, you can come and talk to Professor Lin."

Immediately after Jiang Xuanye came out of the kitchen with brand-new bowls and chopsticks, Yang Cuo nodded slightly to Linqian, saying, "I won't eat dinner here," and said to Jiang Xuanye, "It's been hot recently, and the air conditioner in the bureau is not working." Great, don't come."

Jiang Xuanye nodded frequently in agreement.

Yang Cuo obviously avoided talking to Jiang Xuanye deliberately, but there was no secret between Linqian and Jiang Xuanye, so he turned around and told the truth.

It’s not too early to wake up for diving on Saturday. During this period of time, he always dreams that he is dragged to the deep sea by the snake-like tail. Every time it’s a nightmare again, it’s all about the phone alarm to wake him up.Today, he woke up from the dream after being kicked to the ground by Jiang Xuanye behind him.After waking up, Linqian felt sweat all over his body, and his back was a little itchy. He didn't know if he had eaten too much seafood recently and had hives again.

Lin Qian hugged his hair back and went to the bathroom to wash up.When I was brushing my teeth, I accidentally saw the black scales I soaked in the soap box, and I couldn't help but think of that dream again.He likes the ocean. When he was studying, he would go to the seaside for vacation every summer, swimming and catching crabs. The sea always surprises him.But like many people, he is also afraid of the deep sea. After all, 70.00% of the earth is covered by oceans, while human exploration of the sea is only a shabby 5.00%.Under the sea is obviously another unknown world.

During this period of time, because it was inconvenient for him to blatantly continue to investigate the matter of the Black Tail, he could only find a copy of "Cthulhu Mythos" online in his free time.Most people, including Zhang Ju, were not surprised by the fact that he went to work and read idle books. Anyway, he also completed his own work.Now it seems that this huge scale seems to have fallen out of that world.

What's under the sea?What kind of secrets are there in the silent deep sea?He knew that there must be no light, and the sky light could not pass through such a deep sea to reach there, it should be a silent abyss.Perhaps there are creatures that overcome all unfavorable factors, including huge water pressure, lack of photosynthesis, etc., and exist there in a strange form that humans have not yet discovered.Perhaps the owner of this scale lived there.

what will it look like?

Most creatures living in the deep sea are basically blind because they cannot see sunlight, and their appearance is not that important to them. They are all long and random, and usually do not conform to human aesthetics.Thinking about those strange looking fish, it seemed that Linqian didn't want to see the beauty of the owner of the black scales so much.

There was another thought that even surprised Lin Qian himself when it appeared in Lin Qian's mind.Maybe this world is not just what humans see, maybe the earth is just a huge machine in motion, and the "god" who made the initial settings for it, whether Sakyamuni or God, they are this The chief engineers of the material world, but they do not exist on the white clouds above our heads, but live under the sea.The bearings, chains and even the main switches of the machines of the whole world are all under the sea.

Newton's three laws do not depend on Newton, and the theory of relativity does not depend on Einstein.The truth of the world lies under the sea.

Could this be the message that Lin Qiubai really wanted to convey to himself?He wanted to tell himself, is there really a god in the world, living on the bottom of the sea like Cthulhu?

Immediately, this idea was overturned by Lin Qian himself - Lin Qiubai is a scientist and a firm materialist, how could he believe in those ghosts and gods.

Linqian washed his face, dried the excess water with a towel, and smiled at himself in the mirror.The gentle smile is his usual appearance.Anyway, today is my second chance to meet Lin Qiubai, and according to Lin Qiubai's current attitude, I can get more information this time.Don't worry about it yourself, with the current frequency of contact and the degree of willingness expressed by Lin Qiubai, even if someone obstructs it, he will still get close to the truth very quickly.And the truth of the Black Tail back then may be the truth of the world.

At this time, in the study room of the villa, Jiang Chao was looking sad.It was rare for Yang Cuo to stand opposite him in casual clothes.

"I'm sorry, Commander Jiang. This is a decision made by the higher authorities. If not, it may be difficult to learn from Professor Lin what happened on the Black Tail."

"That's a secret, it's a secret! How can you use a child as bait? Lao Lin is too serious, just tell me! No, I want to meet Lao Lin in person."

"This, I'm afraid it won't work. According to the above, everything is going according to plan, no approval is allowed, and no one is allowed to approach Professor Lin without authorization. Including you."
