Chapter 464 In fact, compared to money, nothing else is important!

Plato number.

"I slept all night again. This is probably one night. I can't tell the time clearly now."

"Anna...I miss you!!"

Waking up in his temporary lounge, half leaning on the bed, Professor Stein looked at the timer on the bedside.

There is no concept of sun and moon at all, and in the infinite darkness of the deep sea.

ah!!

The concept of time in my mind is disappearing little by little, and even the electronic timekeeping method seems a bit blurry.

Tick ​​tock tick!!

The electronic timer beats a little bit, but it looks so unreal.

"ah!"

"Anna, if you were here, it would be great if you could support me!"

I just woke up from an uneasy sleep and recalled some things from the past uncontrollably.

Professor Stein lamented that he didn't want to be like this, but that name and those memories that he didn't want to recall suddenly popped up.

This is not good.

The professor knows deeply that this is not good!!

"Want something to eat?! Although I know you have no appetite now."

Nelson was the only one who could come to see Professor Stein at this time. Apart from Castro, the only person on the ship who could talk seriously was the black guy in front of him.

"You guessed it right, I'm tired of eating seaweed dumplings, Ryan... how is he?!"

"He's OK. I told you yesterday. You nodded and then went to sleep."

"Are you seriously not going to see him?!"

Nelson crossed his arms as usual, so that the big fish tattooed on his shoulder looked more eye-catching.

to be honest.

This is not directed at his buddy, but according to the current situation, Professor Stein gets a headache when he sees the big fish.

He didn't want to recall these bad things, including Ryan.

"He doesn't want to see me now. In this unruly place in the deep sea, hatred is the most difficult to dissipate."

"It's you who told me this."

"Of course, I don't want to say this, but he is a madman now, and I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble."

Professor Stein got up from the low bed, stretched his slightly tired body, took his own water glass and went out.

He listened to the room next door, which used to be his, but was now as quiet as ever.

"Is that girl still reading?!"

"I mean those logbooks you wrote, or scientific research reports?!"

"It's all a mess of words, and I can't always understand it."

Nelson was talking about Nagato Yuki. A girl of unknown origin broke into the closed underwater world that was originally deep diving. This was big news.

However.

Because of Ryan's madness, none of the people in the infirmary could cure him, and now it has finally subsided.

With such a turmoil, no one is thinking about unnecessary things.

"Listen man!"

"It was our work mistakes that led to the girl being trapped. Including Ryan's incident, I have already completed the mission report, and I will bear all the consequences."

"As for where the girl is from, what her name is, and where she lives...please, just keep an eye on this submarine. Other matters are the business of the Census Bureau, so we shouldn't worry about it."

In fact.

Even the Census Bureau has no control over this magical girl.

When Professor Stein was speaking, this sentence appeared in his mind involuntarily, and then he shook his head fiercely.

"No!!"

"This is a nightmare. Forget all this. Nelson, you should have told me some good news."

"I just threw the buoy signal again last night, now... shouldn't we be here?!"

In the submarine corridor leading to the lounge, Nelson followed Professor Stein and answered habitually.

"certainly."

"Finally we don't have to hold it in this small space, uh...I mean we can find a bigger place to hold it in."

"after all……"

"Mariana Trench Outpost, compared to our little coffin, that place is much more comfortable."

The guy grinned when he said this, as if he was amused by his very unlucky and very cold joke.

"Shut up, what's going on with Ryan, you'd better stop saying these disgusting words."

"What coffin?!"

"I have a bad feeling right now, Ryan is what will happen to us."

really.

Nelson's casual remarks could not be taken as casual listening by other crew members who could hear him.

For these "deep sea people", they need a kind of psychological comfort.

Now.

What happened to Ryan made them all a little nervous.

"I was just kidding."

Nelson said completely nonchalantly, and at the same time Professor Stein also said.

"This is indeed a bad joke, but...my crew members, this is also good news."

"The Mariana Trench outpost is the last leg of our journey."

"Because... you know, Ryan really can't stand the oppression of the deep sea, so this scientific research is over and we are going to return."

Professor Stein spread his hands, he spoke very naturally, and even showed a hint of helplessness on his expression.

He has even written the entire mission report, speaking in his capacity as a professor.

Mr. Lane, a senior deep diver, seems to be no longer suitable for this profession due to the constant employment pressure.

Maybe.

This guy should be given a large amount of money and then allowed to retire. If the donor above is not willing, Professor Stein said he is willing to pay for it out of his own pocket.

This may also be a way of...compensating for this guy being frightened in the sea!!

"Returning, this messy scientific expedition is finally over?!"

"Listen...Professor, I don't want to object to you, but...if not, you let Ryan go, then he would never have entered the capsule at that time. Although I may have said it before, I still have to repeat it."

"This has nothing to do with Ryan. It was you who almost killed him."

"That's right!!"

"Just a little bit, he would have died, and even we would have..."

The whole topic is getting more and more outrageous. Once it involves Ryan and the accident that happened not long ago, everyone can't control their emotions.

"Stop, stop, stop!!"

Professor Stein interrupted them with an irritated wave of his hand, and his voice could not help but be raised.

"I can also repeat it again, I have put all the responsibility on myself."

"And...she...no, I mean I still rescued Ryan after all!!"

Professor Stein paused for a moment, then continued.

"Yes, no one wants this kind of accident, but strictly speaking, I saved him."

"The air pressure circulation was completely destroyed at that time. Fortunately, I was there during Ryan's accident."

The crew members nodded, this seemed to be a credible statement, no matter what...Ryan survived.

However... I just survived. In this darkness, the collapse of my mentality seemed even more terrifying.

"If according to the legend of the undersea people, we really encounter a terrifying existence, then everyone will be killed...and we, no, it's Ryan, he came back safe and sound."

"Maybe, but no matter what, it's fine, Professor. I hope what you said about returning home is true. I don't want to stay here anymore."
