My hand was on the doorknob, but I still didn't open the door.

The man who was locked up in the observation room was obviously in a bad state. He sometimes looked extremely painful, and sometimes looked crazy. He looked like a patient in the stage of rabies, and his mind was extremely unstable.

Seeing that I was indifferent, the sea monkey jumped on the spot angrily, and then pushed my back with its huge palm, urging me to open the door quickly.

"Do you want me to save him?"

The sea monkey didn't seem to understand what I said, so he scratched the dry, algae-like hair on his head.

It's time to show off my superb sign language skills.

I pointed at myself and then at the people in the observation room.

The sea monkey understood what I meant, grinned its big mouth and let out a harsh laugh.

This confirmed one thing for me: this sea monkey is human.

Although I do have preconceptions that sea monkeys should not understand human nature, I am surprised that it can show almost human rationality.

"What if he attacks me?" I said with gestures.

The sea monkey calmed down after hearing this, scratched his head as if thinking, and then walked away like a shelf in a corner of the laboratory.

It walked a few steps, saw my confused face, raised its thick arms, and held me under its armpits. I couldn't resist at all, so I could only let this sea monkey lead me around.

Finally reaching the shelf full of medicines on one side, he put me down and gestured to me.

It means that there is some kind of medicine on it, and people will fall asleep immediately after being injected.

I found a box of injections on the top shelf, with a label on the surface: C4H10O

This is the chemical equation of an anesthetic. I heard it from a senior who is studying medicine. She said that she often uses this chemical equation to threaten her boyfriend who is studying chemistry...

I put the anesthetic into the syringe and returned to the door of the observation room.

"You have to help me subdue him later." I gestured to the sea monkey.

The sea monkey squeaked and nodded, and I pressed the door handle.

When I opened the door, the person in the observation room suddenly became quiet. He huddled alone in the corner, staring at me closely with his lifeless eyes. I felt the other person's alertness.

"Hey, you..." I was just about to remind Sea Monkey to help me keep an eye on this person, when the door behind me slammed shut...

Your sister!

The trust between humans and sea monkeys is gone these days!

"Uh, what, I..."

Wow.

As I spoke, the man in the corner moved. He seemed to be very afraid of me and huddled in the corner shivering. At the same time, I heard the creak of his slender nails digging into the floor, which made my whole body goosebumps.

"You, you, you, don't be afraid. I'm a good person and I don't mean any harm." I hid the syringe containing the anesthetic behind my back and moved closer to the man.

He didn't attack me, but after I got close to a certain distance, he suddenly showed extreme nervousness.

I was startled and stopped immediately, and the two of us were in a stalemate for a while.

I gestured and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you. Do you know that sea monkey outside?"

He looked out in the direction of my finger, and saw a big blue head peeking into the glass of the observation room from behind the door.

He was obviously the same as the sea monkey, his mood had stabilized, and his eyes had returned to the brilliance that only human eyes can have.

I took the opportunity to negotiate with him: "I am a member of the archaeological team and I am here to investigate the shipwreck. Tell me, how can I save you?"

It seems that he has not had contact with people for a long time, and his normal language system has almost failed. Fortunately, he can read and understand what I mean.

He shakily took out a notebook from the bed in the corner of the observation room and threw it to me.

This is a very old notebook. The cover of the notebook has been soaked with blood, and the original title and name cannot be seen clearly.

The contents of the first few pages have also been blurred, and only the middle and back parts can still be seen clearly.

Time: May 2, 2002

Experimental sample: 013 Fu Hui

Number of executions: 1

Sampling drugs:D00H5

Experimental results: 013 had a molting reaction, was irritable, lasted for a long time, and was highly aggressive.

It is recommended to suspend observation.

Time: May 3, 2002

Experimental sample: 013 Fu Hui

Number of executions: 78

Sampling drugs:D01H8

Experimental results: 013 performed multiple molting reactions.

Time: May 4, 2002

...

The experiment failed! The experiment failed!

013 lost his personality! He started killing indiscriminately!

No! Wrong!

All the strange things started with the thing we fished out from the water!

There is an evil spirit in there! 013 is possessed by an evil spirit! We are all going to die! We are all going to die!

Who can help me!

Please, if anyone can see my diary, please bring my last words to my wife and daughter!

The address is No. 9, Ling() Road, Dong() Street, Cheng() District, Xining City...

My name is Qu Bucheng!

The most critical places at the address were accidentally soaked in blood, as if they were deliberately hidden from view.

I closed the notebook and put it in my bag.

Then asked that person: "Are you Ah Hui?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

It seems that the Ah Hui mentioned by Lu Fang is this person, which means that this person is the only living person on the entire ship. If he wants to find out the mystery of the shipwreck, he must be cured.

The problem is that I am not a medical student, and I know little about chemicals. If you ask me to save people, it is not like a blind man pulling clothes - nonsense.

But in this current situation, I can only act with an arrow on the string.

Since "D00H5" and "D01H8" are mentioned in the record, I think the backup of the synthesis records of these two drugs should be somewhere on the sunken ship, and there may be a way to deal with it.

I gestured to the sea monkey outside the window, asking me to find two drugs in the laboratory to treat Ah Fai.

Sea Monkey thought for a while, then opened the door for me and followed me step by step, as if he was afraid that I would run away.

I walked around the laboratory several times and couldn't find any records about these two chemicals. All I could find were some very common chemicals.

When I had no clue, the sea monkey suddenly ran to a corner of the laboratory, jumping and screaming.

I wondered what he meant. When I came to the place indicated by it, I discovered that there was a hidden cabin below the first cabin!

"Is there something down here?" I gestured to it.

But this sea monkey didn't know if he was pretending or if he was real. He suddenly looked like he didn't understand and opened his mouth wide with a silly smile.

I don't think I can get anything out of this monster's mouth. If I want to figure out the mystery of the sunken ship, I have to go down to this last hidden cabin no matter what.

"I'll use my brain, and you'll do your part. You know how to open this door, right?" I gestured.

The sea monkey patted his strong chest, which meant that he was covered and asked me to step aside.

I backed away knowingly. I didn't want this monster to accidentally injure me when it hit him.

I saw the sea monkey coming to the door on the ground. He first tried to pick it up with his hands, but found that he couldn't lift it.

So the sea monkey became anxious and jumped on the spot. Suddenly, as if it understood something, it walked to the door again in a flash, then raised its huge blue paw and trampled the door to pieces.

The broken piece of iron fell to the ground below, making a crackling sound that made my hairs stand on end. If there really was something down there and it was disturbed, wouldn't it be cool to take me?

Before I could hesitate, Sea Monkey picked me up like a chicken and carried me safely to the underground cabin with its long arms.

Arriving at this cabin, I was shocked by the scene in front of me.

At the same time, I also understood why this ship traveled thousands of miles to the Yangtze River. On the surface, it was a cruise ship of a fishing company, but in fact, it was an illegal merchant ship smuggling cultural relics.

This underground floor is actually a huge warehouse filled with rare treasures, each of which is priceless.

Bronze tripods from the Yin and Shang Dynasties, gilt saddles from the Western Zhou Dynasty, blue and white porcelain from the official kilns of the Song Dynasty, jade belts unearthed from the Warring States Period, and the legacy of the calligrapher Wang Xizhi of the Jin Dynasty...

In fact, seeing such an exaggerated amount of inventory in the cargo warehouse at the bottom of the sunken ship, I even have reason to suspect that the ship was loaded with too many things, causing the ship's draft to be overloaded and eventually the ship sank.
To be continued...
