"It's not enough to put yourself in danger, but... I estimate that this trip to the sea will not be just a simple trip, and there may indeed be danger, so... I will confirm with you one last time, you really want to

Follow?" Su Che asked.

Everyone nodded without hesitation.

Su Ran was relatively calm. She did not rush to express her position, but asked first: "I did some simple investigations on the way here. Although the scientific research ship that disappeared this time is owned by the Su family, it has always been free of charge."

It is rented out to an international scientific research organization called 'zad'. According to the action records that the organization has submitted to our Su family, this time they went to sea directly to the missing area, which means... they seem to

Before this, I already knew that I might 'disappear'... So... Su Che, that Granny Cai you mentioned before, does she really only remember that she encountered a 'monster'?"

Although Su Ran's words are a bit convoluted, the point of the problem is very clear.

Wang Gangdan frowned and said, "Su Che, is that Granny Cai trying to hide something?"

Su Che's expression suddenly turned serious when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "Actually, the first time I met Granny Cai, I discovered that this woman was not the fisherman in her story at all. Not only was she not familiar with the sea at all,

And the reason why she has been guarding that 'mysterious' island all these years is not to wait for her husband, but to keep a bigger secret."

"A bigger secret?" Su Lan became interested and asked curiously: "I also read a lot of reports. At first I thought that Granny Cai didn't look like a fisherman at first glance, especially the photo of her when she was young.

, those hands, tsk tsk tsk, can be used as hand models! But...brother, your imagination is a bit ridiculous, isn't it?"

Su Che was stunned: "A bit ridiculous?"

"Yes, even if she really concealed the truth, the incident of 'encountering monsters' when she went to sea was also fabricated to a certain extent, but what can she do as a woman? It's not like no one has observed her in private over the years, but no one has

Anyone has discovered the problem, so... isn't it ridiculous to have such a wild imagination of yours?" Su Lan showed no mercy to Su Che when she tried to make trouble.

Su Che was suddenly embarrassed. He scratched his head and laughed and said, "That's just what I said casually. We have to wait until we find Granny Cai on the island to talk about it."

Everyone looked at each other and suddenly felt that the man in front of them was not trustworthy at all.

Wang Gangdan is now only concerned about Wang Wuchuan's specific whereabouts. She said anxiously: "Then when will we go to sea? Tonight?"

Su Che shook his head: "Not tonight."

"Hey? Why?"

"The wind and waves are too strong tonight. It is very dangerous to go out to sea. Moreover, all our supplies have not been received yet. It is estimated that we will not be able to set off until tomorrow morning at the earliest."

Wang Gangdan looked out the window. Indeed, she felt that the weather was not very good from the moment she got off the plane. The wind was too cold, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Su Che knew why Wang Gangdan was so anxious, so he comforted him and said, "It's okay. Uncle Wang was fine when the magic weapon fell from the sky. Such a little storm is nothing to him."

Upon hearing this, Wang Gangdan glanced at Su Che gratefully, then suddenly bowed deeply to everyone and said, "Thank you!"

Although Su Lan met Wang Gangdan for the first time, she was very fond of this short-haired beauty. Now that she was so polite and polite, her liking became even better. She smiled and said: "Oh, don't be so polite. After all, this is

The matter also concerns our Su family, not to mention that he hasn't been found yet. When Uncle Wang is really found, it won't be too late for you to say thank you."

Wang Gangdan forced a smile.

Su Che glanced at the time and said, "Okay, I just asked Samantha to book rooms for everyone. Let's go to our respective rooms to have a rest. If you need anything, you can tell Samantha directly, or directly

Just call me."

Hearing this, Su Lan glanced at Su Che, Wang Gangdan, and Issara ambiguously, then praised Su Che in a coy voice and said, "Oh, you are so considerate, Brother Su! That person has gone back first.

, you should also take care of your health tonight! Don’t work too hard!”

When Su Che heard this, his head was filled with black lines, because both Isara and Wang Gangdan's faces turned red.

"Good sister, what are you talking about! Brother Su, I won't drink to drown my sorrows tonight, so why are you having such a hard time! You should go back and take a shower and go to bed first!" After saying this, Su Che gave Su Lan a fierce look.

However, this little girl was not afraid of Su Che at all. Not only was she not afraid, she was also smiling happily.

Su Ran had no interest in participating in this "childish" bickering game. She sighed, shook her head and said, "I'm going upstairs first." After that, Su Ran was the first to "leave the team."

After Su Ran went upstairs, everyone else went back to their rooms one after another.

Su Che is the last one.

After arriving at the luxurious suite on the top floor, Su Che looked at the magnificent palace-like room and couldn't help but asked Samantha in surprise: "Samantha, why did you book such an expensive room for me?"

Samantha replied innocently: "It's a surprise from the flight. You are the first guest this year who is lucky enough to stay in this exclusive Royal Sea View Suite for free."

Distinguished...Royal?Sea View Suite???

Why did the rich man ask... Su Che's eyelids twitched and he thought to himself: 'Is this a sign?'

"Nevermind, let's get some sleep before we talk..." Su Che dropped the suitcase, took off his coat and went to the bathroom.

After washing up, Su Che was not sleepy at all.

He picked up his diary and voice recorder and went to the balcony.

This room is indeed surprisingly large and luxurious, even the balcony is gold-plated.

Moreover, there are waiters there who have already prepared ice-cold champagne and fruit snacks.

Su Che was not very interested in these things. He sat down at the table and turned on the recording. While listening to the recording of the interview with Granny Cai, he looked at the sea in a daze.

…

"Are you sure that's a monster and not some other natural phenomenon?"

"You think I'm lying?"

"No, no, no, Granny Cai, I didn't mean that. What I meant was...well...you see, this is a very old nautical chart. At that time, there was a lack of understanding of the sea. Many nautical charts showed

Many of the monsters marked are actually just the most common marine animals today. Even the giant octopus that originally appeared in "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" now uses deep-sea equipment..."

"I understand, you are trying to say that the monster I am talking about is actually just a certain creature on the bottom of the sea, a creature that can drag a fifteen-meter-long fishing boat weighing more than seven tons into the deep sea by itself.

Really?"

"Um...yes, I know this may offend you, but 'monster'..."

"You are like this, all of you are like this. You always think that in this era, this era of scientific and technological achievements, all natural phenomena can be clearly explained by science, so you are no longer in awe.

The sea, because there is nothing to be afraid of there! Even if there is! They are hiding on the seabed that humans cannot detect, living their own lives, and will not affect us, and... deep-sea creatures commit suicide by floating on the surface.

, isn’t this the theory you want to talk about?”

"Um...yes, Granny Cai, from a certain theoretical point of view, this is indeed a bit unreasonable."

“It’s not reasonable because it doesn’t exist?”

"No, I didn't mean that."

"Then it's unreasonable for you to suspect the existence of 'monsters', or is my story not 'reasonable' enough?"

"this……"

"Go back, young man, you don't need to interview me. I am a lonely old woman who has lived on the island for a long time. Now I only believe that my husband will come back one day. It's that simple! I'm not an infatuated person, I just accept death.

, also knows what he is talking about, and will never wrong himself and make up a reasonable story for some bullshit reason... So... you can say whatever you like, that's all I can tell you."

"Grandma Cai, I'm sorry, I was presumptuous... Oh, oh, grandma Cai... wait... Granny Cai..."

"Bang!"

With a slamming of the door, the recording ended.

…

I have to say, that was a very failed interview.

Su Che thought that after having the previous interview experience, he would be able to face these "legendary people" marked on his interview catalog with ease. However, things did not go so smoothly.

Granny Cai must be very disappointed. She may also be waiting for someone who can get close to her heart and hear the truth of the story, but obviously... Su Che is not that person.

After coming back to his senses, Su Che closed the diary and sighed softly: "Samantha, do you think the story told by Granny Cai is true?"

Samantha thought for a moment and replied: "Although you hate algorithms, if you want me to help you analyze and answer this question, I think it is necessary to enable the algorithm program."

"Ha... you... don't have to care so much about my emotions. I'm not your master. Shouldn't we respect each other?"

"Well, this is a good start, okay then... In my opinion, lying often has a very clear purpose. This purpose may be good or bad, but no matter what kind, lies will not appear without reason, that is,

It means that if Granny Cai lies, it means that she has her own purpose."

These words sounded like complete nonsense, but Su Che found it very rewarding. He frowned and said: "Actually... before I went to interview Granny Cai, I asked Liu Mengyan to help me check Granny Cai's details... but I kept checking.

, there is nothing of value, and as you know, most of the data was lost during the blackout era, and there are too few things that can be found now."

"Yes, most of the data was indeed lost during the blackout era, but I know that there is a place that still retains a large number of data backups from before the blackout era. Most of them were rescued by individuals or official organizations. Now most of them are

Parts of it were kept by an American collector in the basement of a castle he built in Iceland."

"Huh? There is still such a thing."

"Well, and I have already contacted the collector, and he has agreed to a private interview, but it is hard to say whether I can find anything related to Granny Cai."

"Wow! Samantha, you are amazing."

"Thank you for the compliment, so...what are your plans next?"

"Well... it is indeed a good way to find out the details of Granny Cai, and it will help us open up the knot in Granny Cai's mind and find out the truth... But Iceland... that place is so far away, even if we send people there,

Can’t you find any results even after a day or two?”

"You don't have to worry about this. As long as you agree, I can directly authorize my service sequence in Iceland and let my friends retrieve information about Granny Cai online for you."
