"Who! Who is the damn it? I've said so many times, I'll knock on the door before entering the office!"

As soon as the door was pushed open, a roar came from the room.

This room is more suitable than an office than an exhibition hall.

The table, the ground, and the walls are filled with countless marine biological specimens and hanging pictures. Hammerhead sharks, water and wood, starfish, spider crabs...

Although the office is huge, it is filled with so many things that Xinyun can't find a place to stay.

The one who roared was a white-haired old man, with his back facing the door, tidying up a large box.

"Old Isaiah, your temper is still so hot." Xinyun smiled and replied in English.

Hearing Xinyun's voice, the white-haired old man suddenly straightened his waist and turned around quickly, his face full of disbelief: "Be careful Yun?!"

Then he ignored the things on the ground and rushed to the door with agile pace that was not commensurate with his age, panting constantly: "You... Why are you here suddenly?! Don't make a call in advance! Damn it! My office is too messy... You should tell me earlier, so I can clean up!"

Jiang Xiao saw the white old man's face full of wrinkles and a big hooked nose. Although he looked far older than sixty years old, he was not as slow and hunched as an ordinary old man.

If you only look at the movements, you can't imagine his real age at all.

Xinyun smiled at Old Isaiah's excited expression: "Some...small situations are not convenient to contact you in advance. I am here this time, I'm here to ask for your help."

"Please help me?" Old Isaiah was a little surprised: "What can I... help you? I am just a civilian, and I don't have any talent..."

Xinyun waved her hand: "It has nothing to do with ability. What I need your help is your professional ability."

"No problem!" Old Isaiah then believed that Xinyun had something to ask for, so he quickly patted her chest: "As long as I can really help, just speak up!"

"Thank you!" Xinyun tiptoed and patted the tall shoulder of old Isaiah: "Do you... plan to let us stand at the door and say?"

"No, no, of course not... how is this possible!" Old Isaiah shook his head hurriedly. Only then did he notice that Jiang Xiao and others standing behind Xinyun, and looked back at the messy office behind him with some embarrassment: "Wait a moment, I'll clean up now!"

After he said that, he immediately turned around, held a large water tank nearly half a person in the middle of the road with both hands, and easily lifted it up and moved it to the corner of the wall.

Although there were many things in the room, the more important thing was scattered. It took me only two minutes to clear a small open space in the middle of the office. Then I rushed out of the door like a whirlwind, and soon I returned to the office with four chairs.

"I'm sorry, it's so messy." Old Isaiah smiled apologetically, placed the chair on the newly cleared open space, called everyone to sit down, and then went to the coffee machine in the corner to pick up four cups of coffee, and delivered it to the four of them. Then he closed the door and sat back in his seat: "Tell me, what can I help with?"

"We... want four sets of diving suits." Xinyun took a sip of the coffee brought by old Isaiah and nodded with satisfaction: "But it is not an ordinary soft diving suit, but a heavy-duty normal pressure diving suit. This thing is difficult to buy in the market, and it is too ostentatious. I am very worried that the enemy will find it, so I can only come to you."

"Atmospheric diving suit?" Old Isaiah was stunned, but soon attracted the attention of another word in Xinyun's words: "Wait, you just said...the enemy?"

"Well. Enemy." Xinyun nodded: "A organization called the Academy. But you are busy fiddling with your marine creatures all day long, and don't interact with other awakened people, and may not have dealt with them."

"Academic?" Old Isaiah shook his head blankly, saying that he had never heard of the name: "Why...why do they... want to be enemies with you?"

"It's better not to know this kind of thing." Xinyun sighed softly: "It's not that I don't want to tell you. Old Isaiah, you have always been one of the people I trust the most. I have always known that you are only obsessed with your oceanography research and do not deal with other awakened people. I don't tell you, it's just to protect you. The more you know, the more dangerous it is for you."

"This..." Old Isaiah was about to retort, but was interrupted by Xinyun: "Besides, even if you tell you, you may not know what is going on. Have you heard of... Seed?"

Old Isaiah shook his head with a confused look on his face.

"Look, you don't know anything. It doesn't make sense if I tell you." Xinyun smiled: "So, don't ask so much, just help us prepare what we want."

"Okay." Old Isaiah shrugged: "Then... how deep do you want? If it is just the usual three hundred meters diving depth, I think it can also achieve it with the physical fitness of the awakened person with a soft diving suit. But if it is a five hundred meters diving depth... I..."

He raised his head and thought, "It seems that there are only two sets of free ones. If you want to get four sets, you must wait for a scientific research boat to come back."

"How long will it take to go back... Wait! What did you say? Five hundred meters?" Xinyun was suddenly stunned: "The maximum diving depth is only five hundred meters?"

"What does it mean?" Old Isaiah looked a little unhappy: "Do you know the depth of 500 meters and the water pressure are! How high is the structural strength required to counteract such a large amount of water pressure! All universities and marine research institutions in all countries around the world, and all hard diving suits that can reach a diving depth of 500 meters will not exceed one hundred sets!"

"Damn it!" Xinyun turned her head and looked at Jiang Xiao: "I... seem to be wrong."

It was the first time Jiang Xiao heard of such a thing, and frowned and asked Old Isaiah: "Then... do you have the equipment to dive deeper into the bottom of the water?"

"How deep? More specific."

"About 1,000...700 meters."

"That's impossible. There is no hard diving suit in the world that can reach this depth." Old Isaiah shook his head without hesitation: "God, what exactly do you want to do in this depth!"

"Go and find... something." Jiang Xiao could only answer vaguely.

"No diving suit can achieve this depth. Let go of your fantasy." Old Isaiah easily shattered Jiang Xiao's fantasy: "If you just want to find something, machines will be more efficient than humans. I have a deep-sea detection robot here, with a maximum working depth of 2,000 meters, which should be able to meet your needs. And this is safer. You only need to use the control device and remote control on the ship."

"Robot..." Jiang Xiao and Xinyun looked at each other, shook their heads: "No. We must enter underwater and reach that position."

The record left by Zi Yan clearly stated that she could find the correct direction smoothly by relying on the spiritual sensing of the seeds. Moreover, the opening of the seeds was only opened because of the awakened identity. If it were just a remotely controlled deep-sea robot, it would be impossible to find the seeds.

Not to mention...their purpose is to enter the seeds and find what is hidden in it!

"Is there any other solution?" Jiang Xiao asked frowned and frowned.

"If that's the case... you can only use a deep-sea submersible." Old Isaiah thought for a while: "I have one on hand, but I'm going to sea now and will not be able to come back in a week. And... its rated number of passengers is only three."

"Are three people...? That's fine, it's better to have one than not." Xinyun thought for a while, and it seemed that this was the only solution: "Then... we'll wait for you for a week."

"Wait!" Jiang Xiao immediately asked a question keenly: "How big is this deep-sea submersible...?"

"How old?" Old Isaiah was stunned for a moment, turned to look at his office: "If it's just the body, I'll probably put down my office. After all, most of the maintenance equipment is installed on the boat, so that the size of the submersible can be reduced as much as possible."

"And... the ship?" Jiang Xiao sighed heavily.

Now... it may be really troublesome.

"Of course, there must be a supporting ship to work! What do you think is that? A nuclear submarine that stayed at the bottom of the sea for several months at one time?" Old Isaiah seemed to have never expected Jiang Xiao to ask such a ridiculous question, and glared: "Do you think this thing can be opened to the operating waters by yourself!"

"Okay, I understand." Jiang Xiao nodded, looked up at Xinyun, and also had a headache.

It is already troublesome to just use a submersible, not to mention... there is also a supporting scientific research ship!

According to old Isaiah, without a scientific research ship, the submersible could not work at all!

If the location of that seed is in a certain sea area, this problem is not big.

But now, the target is Lake Baikal! It goes deep into Lake Baikal in the heart of the far east and west Siberia in Russia!

How to get such a big thing?

The college has such a huge organization, I’m afraid that it will be known when there is a move here just now.

Jiang Xiao and the others' advantage is that the academy still does not know the specific location of the seeds, nor does it know their next itinerary. They can only follow behind them and chase them step by step.

Let’s get a ship from the sea into Lake Baikal, let’s not talk about whether it can be done. Even if it can, it is definitely a huge project. Doing so will mean that the location of the seeds will be exposed directly under the nose of the college.

"Damn..." Xinyun sighed: "I'm afraid... we have to think of something else."

"What's wrong?" Old Isaiah looked at Xinyun in confusion: "Didn't I say that the ship will come back in just one week. Don't worry, my authority is enough. No matter which sea area you want to go, I can let it go where you want to go."

"Really?" Jiang Xiao looked at Old Isaiah with a wry smile: "But what if... it's not the sea area?"

"Not...sea? Then why do you have such a high dive-depth indicator?"

Old Isaiah was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and widened his eyes: "You want to use it in Lake Baikal?!"

"Yes." Jiang Xiao spread his hands: "So, do you have the ability to send this guy to Lake Baikal?"

"This... how is this possible!" Old Isaiah shook his head quickly: "Do you think it's a toy that can be brought with you in your bag? No... wait..."

He suddenly stopped talking, tilted his head and thought for a while, and a hint of confusion appeared on his face: "If...you can find someone... no, that's impossible!"

"No matter what you think, say it. Even if it is something you think is impossible." Xinyun keenly captured the mystery in the old Isaiah's words: "Even if it is just the smallest possibility, we have to give it a try."

"Well..." Old Isaiah hesitated for a moment, and nodded and said, "It was about three years ago. My car broke down on the road in the suburbs. It was late at night, and my cell phone was out of power, so I couldn't call for rescue. There was no car passing by for a long time on the road. It was a really unlucky night. I thought I was going to spend the night in the car."

"It was winter, damn it. For the first time, I realized that the winter nights on the southwest coast were so cold. Because I couldn't turn on the air conditioner, I wrapped myself tightly and hugged in the car to wait for the sunrise."

"I fell asleep in a daze. But not long after, I was woken up by a car horn. The guy got off the bus was a kind young man and asked me if I needed help. Oh my God, I looked like the kind of idiot who felt more comfortable sleeping in the car on the side of the road late at night than the warm big bed at home!"

"I just wanted to borrow his phone so that I could call the trailer center, but he refused. He said he could not let an old man wait hard on such a night, let me get into his car, and he took me home."

"Of course I rejected him. How could I just throw my car aside and ignore it? But he just smiled and asked me to get out of the car, then pressed one hand on the engine cover of my classic car."

"Then……"

Old Isaiah raised his head and looked at Jiang Xiao and Xinyun: "I think you should be able to guess what happened later, right? That's right, my car shrank rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, as small as a model! A model that is extremely delicate and without a trace of detail lost!"

He stretched out his hand and gestured with his thumb and index finger: "Look, it's that big!"

"I was shocked and realized that he was also an awakened person, and had such magical abilities. I put my car in my pocket, got into his car, and asked him to send me home. In my garage, he asked me to take out the classic car that had been reduced to a model, put it on the ground, and keep it with a finger. Oh my God, I watched the car return to its original state again!"

Jiang Xiao and Xinyun looked at each other excitedly.

"In other words, as long as we find this person, we can take the scientific research ship to Lake Baikal without attracting anyone's attention, right?" Xinyun nodded and said to the old Isaiah.

"Yes. But..." Old Isaiah spread his hands: "You know, I have little contact with other awakened people. To be more precise, I hate those awakened people. Well, except for the heart rhyme you. So, I just thanked him, but didn't leave any contact information for him. And you know... how big is California and how many people? Looking for an awakened person with specific abilities within such a large range is simply looking for a needle in a haystack."

"At least we have seven days left. At least we still have hope." Xinyun thought for a while: "At present, this is the only way to find the awakened person with the ability to shrink. Let me tell me some details about him."

"Okay." Old Isaiah recalled with a frown tightly: "He is... not old, he looks less than thirty years old, and he is dressed very well... How to say it? In the words of you young people, it feels very hip-hop. He has a gold chain around his neck and lip nails, about three or four...? He didn't play music in his car that day, but it was a conversation show. I guess it was something similar to a talk show, but it was not English, nor Spanish or German or French, so I couldn't understand a single sentence, but he listened with relish and burst into laughter from time to time."

"Wait..." Jiang Xiao suddenly widened his eyes and asked, "Is the language you are talking about incomprehensible...is this the kind of language you are talking about?"

He quickly switched to Chinese and learned from a certain teacher Guo's tone: "Laojia, uncle, how can the United States go? - Who knows! Ask the village chief to go!"

"Is that true?" Jiang Xiao looked at Old Isaiah with anticipation.

"It should...yes." Old Isaiah closed his eyes and recalled for a moment, nodding affirmatively: "This is the same pronunciation. Could it be...this is Chinese?"

"So, that young man is a black man?" Jiang Xiao slapped his thigh: "Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier!"

"Didn't I say that?" Old Isaiah frowned and shook his head, recalled for a moment, and suddenly said, "Ah... you know, there are more political correctness in California... so few people usually mention other people's skin color... This is a habit."
