The little girl's intuition is very effective.

"So...you gave up on the Plato first."

Nagato Yuki said from the side.

As the observer who has been following Professor Stein all this time, Nagato Yuki is the one who sees it most clearly.

"ha?!"

"Is this the submarine you came with?!"

"What's wrong with that ship? I haven't gone on it yet... I mean, I haven't visited it yet."

Xiaoyu rubbed her hands.

It was her first time to participate in a deep-sea diving project, demonstrating humanity's highest deep-sea technology in the deep sea. This was a different experience for the little girl.

However, when she saw Professor Stein, she knew... her idea was probably going to be ruined.

"Okay, Professor."

"Just like Yuki said, what did you do to the ship?!"

"A time bomb planted?!"

"Are you just waiting for a bang explosion?!"

…

Bang!!

This was not the sound of an explosion, but the door to the entire room being violently knocked open.

outside the door.

It was Castro who was in a state of embarrassment, and Nelson who was breathing heavily behind him.

"Fortunately, there are no bombs on our ship. As a specially-built scientific research vessel, our entire armed force only has these broken harpoons."

"professor."

"At this time, why don't you give us some psychological comfort for what you just said?!"

Faced with the sudden intrusion of Castro and others, Professor Stein did not panic at all.

They all looked behind.

Outside the passage, there was a miserable-looking Lane, and Dr. Singer, who had just been put down by Nelson, was trying to check his injuries.

And at this time.

In front of him is the genuine Mr. "Captain" who has always been on his side, and the black buddy who has always been protecting him.

The faces of the two people were mixed with anger or fear, but they were extremely distorted expressions.

Their pupils were wide open and their eyes were bloodshot as they stared at Professor Stein.

"Ah... you are back, we are chatting with the professor..."

Xiaoyu just wanted to say something.

But when the little girl turned around, she noticed that it was right next to Professor Stein's hand.

It should be the communicator used by the crew for internal communication. It turns out that the professor has been holding it in his hand.

Even though the little girl couldn't understand it, the flashing green light spots on the small black box undoubtedly proved...

"Um."

"Yuki, if my guess is correct, what he just said to us must have been sent out."

The little girl slapped her face.

Just what they talked about before, uh, about demons, about aliens, about New York, about how to bury the legend of the people under the sea.

All right.

Professor Stein showed complete determination. Since it was at the end of his life, he told everything without hiding anything.

Okay.

I don’t know whether the Plato bombed Xiaoyu or not, but this professor made a huge self-exposure.

…

"Unfortunately, I was originally happy about the extra two thousand bonus that I was about to receive, but now it seems that I won't be able to get it."

Nelson took a deep breath.

Even the hand holding the speargun was shaking. Castro's condition was not much better.

Just now.

They briefly escaped from a deep-sea monster hunt, but they didn't have time to rejoice at all.

Professor Stein gave them a big thunder.

"I said I'm a theoretical expert."

"What a coincidence, Castro, you told me this. With the advanced development of deep-diving technology, the Plato only needs to press a button."

"My theory tells me that all I need to do is press the two red buttons under the pressure gauge, and then..."

There is no need for Professor Stein to say more about the rest, now that intelligent programs are so developed.

In addition to some necessary knowledge of deep-sea navigation, Castro knew that it was actually not that difficult to control a submarine.

At least this is not difficult for a theoretical scientist who has been studying all the time.

"Those big fish broke the docking bracket, but in the Mariana Trench outpost, you only need to go to the communication tower."

"After sending the special secret signal, I can put the Plato on standby."

"Then we can take the simple cabin here and get back to the ship, and then...return!!"

This was the best outcome Castro thought, if...the undersea monster that is now invading this place is excluded.

If we exclude...the troublesome Professor Stein.

"That's right."

"Although I hesitated many times before, I still reset the order when I was on the ship."

"Remember the underwater rapids we encountered before?!"

Speaking of which.

Professor Stein suddenly smiled and looked at Nagato Yuki, even though he was saved by the alien girl there.

But when people on land discovered it, the final burial place of the Plato was still there.

"The Plato is heading towards the submarine crater at a high speed. It's too late. You have no way to call the ship back."

"That's it. It's definitely over!!"

…

Time seems to stand still at this moment.

It seems that I heard the noise outside, or the influence of some high-frequency sound wave gradually weakened.

The crew's mental state began to recover slightly.

Mentally weak and exhausted, they gathered from the room listening to the quarrel between Castro and the professor.

"The blessing of misfortune."

"I feel like their mental state is much better now."

Xiaoyu now said quite helplessly, this is the first event that the Dragon Team has experienced in this new world!!

Uh...it seems to be getting worse and worse.

"That's right."

"Some of the influence surrounding these humans is waning, and instead the big fish out there are getting crazier."

"Ha...didn't I tell you, Xiaoyu?!"

"Are the uninvited guests on this ship coming to hunt these humans?!"

The person who answered Xiaoyu was Ximu, who had always watched the excitement and didn't take it too seriously.

Sky demons and aliens, these two extremely special existences.

In fact, the two of them had already noticed the special high-frequency sound waves emitted by Oka since the killer whales surrounded this place.

The reason why Professor Stein has been okay and Castro and Nelson are still in good condition is because they are closest to Nagato Yuki.

The other crew members' spirits continued to weaken.

It does have something to do with them scaring themselves, but more to do with the killer whales and Oka's special abilities.

Let the prey fall into chaos, gradually collapse in fear, and then be eaten alive by the big fish. This is Oka's favorite trick.
