At ten o'clock in the evening, Jian Shenxiu and his group arrived at the Institute of Biology on time.

"Meet the Chief Investigator."

Because of the previous notice, the person in charge of the reception was already waiting in the hall of the Institute of Biology when the three divine cultivators walked in.

"Didn't you always send people here in the past? Why did you come here in person this time?"

It was a middle-aged man in white clothes, he obviously knew Jian Shenxiu. Seeing three people enter the door, they smiled and walked up.

"Professor Jiang?" Seeing the person coming, Shenxiu's expression moved slightly, and he went up to shake hands with him.

"Are you on duty today?"

It's just that there was a slight hesitation the moment he reached out his hand. According to etiquette, this handshake should take off the gloves. But Jian Shenxiu didn't do that, but stretched out his gloved hand.

"Scientific research dog, there is no such thing as being on duty or not."

The middle-aged professor laughed at himself. The two of them were obviously quite familiar with each other, so he didn't mind the act of impoliteness. He just welcomed the three of them in, walked into a downhill on the side of the hall and walked underground Go, casually said with a smile:

"It's just an experiment until now."

The aquatic biology laboratory was actually built underground.

Xi Wei followed behind the two of them. She was also a student of the Department of Biology but not from the Department of Oceanography. This was her first time here, and she looked at the long and thin tunnel curiously as she walked.

On the surface, it seems that this is just a very ordinary passage. The decoration is the standard yellow brick and white porcelain of Yukimizawa University of Science. Because it goes deep into the ground, there is a soft fluorescent lamp hanging every few meters on the whole road. The photo frames are framed with specimens of various marine organisms, and you can feel a strong atmosphere of scientific research just by walking in.

It's just that it seems colder and wetter here than outside. Xi Wei noticed some slight spots on the brick joints on the wall. That's a sign of mildew in a humid environment.

"Professor Jiang has worked hard."

Seeing Shenxiu, he exchanged casual greetings, but immediately he talked too much nonsense, and went straight to the point while walking into the institute.

"This morning we sent a piece of evidence to your side for analysis, but we stopped the experiment here this afternoon. Is the evidence in good condition now?"

"The evidence...is very healthy. But that thing...is really a creature that violates common sense." When mentioning that thing, Professor Jiang trembled slightly as if some shadow had been evoked, and his smile immediately It disappeared, and his expression became serious. Said while leading the way.

"We were shocked by it when we got it, but because the analysis was stopped, we haven't started further research. To be honest, this is the first time we have seen this creature. It is convenient to reveal whether you are Where did you find such a thing?"

"In the sea."

But seeing that Shenxiu didn't seem to have any interest in dialogue, he just said a nonsense casually, and then asked directly:

"Can you take us to see the evidence immediately?"

"Oh, okay. We'll be there soon." The middle-aged man also seemed to see the eagerness to see Shenxiu, and he quickened his pace a little. But this road seems to be quite slender, even though the pace of several people has been accelerated, it took several minutes to walk all the way to the end of the tunnel. Then the professor who led the way swiped his access control card on an iron gate, and then led a few people into the interior of the laboratory.

"...!"

In the next second, Xi Wei's pupils shrank suddenly.

The moment the door was opened, the field of vision suddenly became clear, and the soft blue light on the wall on the right suddenly hit everyone's faces. It was an absolutely astonishing sight. After entering, what I saw inside the Institute of Hydrobiology was actually a blue passage! On the left side are the door numbers of various laboratories in sequence. And the ceiling on the right side and above the head is actually a completely transparent material, connected to the outside...

It turned out to be boundless, blue and deep sea water! Through the transparent wall, you can also see the schools of fish coming and going in the sea!

No wonder this aquatic biology laboratory is built underground! No wonder the road with it is so slender, because it is built on the bottom of the sea! The entire marine biology laboratory is a huge aquarium!

"this way please."

Ignoring the shock of waiting for Xi Wei, the other three were obviously used to this scene long ago. So the professor just led the two of them to a side laboratory and opened the door with a key.

After entering the laboratory, except for the unlit windows, the scene in front of me is not much different from ordinary laboratories. It looked like an ordinary classroom, with a row of desks and shelves surrounding the walls. There are required instruments and medicine bottles inside, and a test bench in the middle, with various experimental facilities on it.

It's just that most of the facilities on the test benches in this laboratory have been moved, and there is only one operating bench left, and other places are vacant. A huge water tank with a length of more than three meters was placed. There is an object about half a meter long, which is quietly suspended in the water tank.

As if afraid of disturbing the objects in the water tank, the fluorescent lights on the roof were not turned on in the room. Instead, a light green night light was turned on next to it. Everything in the room casts huge shadows on the opposite wall under the dim light. The liquid in the water tank was illuminated green, and the black fibers on the head of the object floated freely in the water. In the dark environment, it looked like a huge monster, full of fear of choosing people to eat.

"It looks scary? It's almost like a devil, isn't it?"

In such a frightening environment, even the professor who is the owner of this place couldn't help shivering, and said next to the three of them. When he spoke, his voice was very soft. Although he tried his best to control it, he still trembled unconsciously, as if he was afraid of disturbing the existence in the shadows.

"For the first time, we have discovered this new species... No, it is even difficult to use the word species to describe it. Its structure violates the laws of evolution known to humans. It is full of contradictions and unsolved mysteries. If It’s not a real thing, it’s in front of us, I absolutely can’t believe its existence, not so much a creature. It’s better to say that it’s simply a creation of a demon.”

"...Why is it so dark in the room?"

As if influenced by the professor's emotions, even Jian Shenxiu couldn't help lowering his voice in this environment, and asked in a low voice.

"Because we are simulating the underwater environment where he lives." The professor replied softly.

"It's awake, but it still seems to be in a trance, unaware that its environment has changed. We don't want to stimulate it."

"Is that so?" Jian Shenxiu was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, and then led the three of them out of the laboratory.

"Then go out and talk."

"By the way, I haven't asked yet."

After walking out the door, Professor Jiang gently closed the door. After closing the door, his nervousness seemed to be a little better, and he asked Jian Shenxiu.

"What happened before? Why did we suddenly stop the analysis on our side?"

"Because something happened to this strange fish." Jian Shenxiu replied calmly. In the tunnel under the sea, the faint blue light hit his face, making his expression a bit gloomy.

"We also found this strange fish in a place outside Ning, but it was a corpse. The seven people who participated in killing it had all died as of 7 o'clock today. Now it seems that this is a cursed fish with mysterious The power of the curse, all those who kill him will die at intervals of one day."

"This, this, this..."

The middle-aged professor's legs suddenly went limp, he saw Shenxiu, and then at the fish in the room. The voice trembled.

"It involves... [weird]?"

"For now." Jian Shenxiu was noncommittal.

"really."

"No wonder so, no wonder so." After hearing this, the professor seemed to be frightened by something, and muttered to himself for a while. After a long time, he seemed to force himself to calm down, and asked Jian Shenxiu with a trembling voice.

"So now [the weirdness] is resolved?"

"Not yet." Jian Shenxiu shook his head. "Is that why I'm here?"

"So you're taking it?"

The professor immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and finally calmed down. At that moment, his tone seemed to be lifted from some heavy pressure, and his voice became a little more relaxed.

"Then I'll find someone right away..."

"No, you would be mistaken."

But Jian Shenxiu interrupted his words and watched him speak seriously.

"I want to borrow someone from you."

"Borrow someone?!"

The professor's voice rose instantly.

"Yes. I need you to borrow a student to assist me in the analysis experiment."

See Shenxiu nodded seriously.

"I'm restarting the analysis process on it."

Xi Wei's breathing suddenly stagnated.

"What?"

The two exclaimed at the same time.
