"One more thing."
Finch oozing his finger tapped lightly on a passage in the call log: "This location, it's a little strange."
He looked up at Lena, "Have you checked what that place is?"
Lena nodded, "Of course, I won't let go of such an important clue." ” She walked over to Finch's desk and pressed the video button, and an image flashed on the LCD screen on the wall.
"After getting the call logs, I gave the coordinates of the area where they met to Troy and mobilized our satellites to monitor the area.
If they were to meet at sea, of course, they would only be able to do so on board, so I asked Troy to conduct a strict investigation of whether it was a military or commercial vessel on the route around that area to see if it was a camouflaged ship of the Deacon Department of the Restoration Order. ” "What about the result" Finch, who has always been calm, seemed a little anxious this time, he had a hunch that it didn't seem to be so simple, "Did you find any clues?"
"No" Lena shook her head: "Troy used our company's surveillance satellite to scan the sea area, and none of the ships had problems, and they were all innocent."
Even the ships that may enter that area of the sea within three days, we have done a search, and there is no suspicious place. ” "It's strange, the world is so big, what kind of deal can't be traded" Finch frowned: "With the ability of the Restoration Society, it is okay to make an unfixed alchemy space similar to the eagle's nest in their headquarters to meet, why run to the vast sea What's more, Haynes knows that Long Yun is coming for him, and it is much more difficult to escape at sea than on the 6th ground." ” "I thought about it too, and then I suddenly remembered something."
Lena said, "What if the place where they meet is not on the surface of the sea, but under the sea."
"You mean, submarines," Finch asked.
Lena spread her hands, "I'm not sure, we can't send anti-submarine planes there right now, and even if we go there, I'm afraid that flying around in the air every day will soon startle snakes." ” Finch was silent, Lena was right, and at a time like this, I was afraid that anything would disrupt the whole plan, so it seemed like a wise choice to respond to all changes.
"Don't be disappointed, Doctor.
I found some clues from other sources.
Lena said suddenly.
"What clues" "Do you remember our Little Bird Project?"
asked Lena.
Finch nodded, "Of course, you're talking about the various credible research projects we fund and archaeological and exploration projects around the world, right?"
"Well, that's right."
"We used to fund a research team in Australia that was working on Indian Ocean currents and water patterns, and I reported something to the company's research department three months ago," Lena said.
They witnessed a strange thing in the waters between the British Chagos archipelago and Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. ” With that, she pulled another document out of her bag and placed it on the table.
"Someone in the research team witnessed a bizarre sight at night that day."
"According to the researcher's account, he saw a huge island in the sea in the distance at night next to the ship, and they are very familiar with the conditions of the Indian Ocean and know that there are no islands nearby," said Lena, pointing to a picture. ” "At that time, he even thought that he was dazzled, and even suspected that there was a problem with the navigation system of the research ship he was on, so he used the GS on his watch to set the position, and now the left did not deviate from the intended course, he was on the right course, and if so, there should be no islands nearby."
"Island" Finch pushed the frame, and the matter was obviously getting more and more interesting.
"That's right, an island.
When the researcher on the night shift determined the coordinates, he thought that he had found a new volcanic island, perhaps an island formed by a recent submarine volcanic eruption, so he took a few photos with his mobile phone, and the current pixel was too low to cause the effect to be very checked, so he hurried back to the cabin, woke up the captain and his colleagues, and brought his Nikon camera, intending to take some clearer photos. ” "What about the result," Finch asked.
"When he finished tossing and returning to the deck of the ship, the island was gone," said Lena.
"Gone," Finch thought to himself, "it must be a little strange to just disappear here." ” "At that time, no one thought there was a problem, even if the witness swore that he was indeed not dazzled, everyone still thought that this guy might have been conducting research at sea for a long time and there was psychological pressure, or maybe this guy had a big numb and hallucinated, so he was wrong."
Finch looked down at the picture.
The pixels of the picture are really terrible, it was night when it was taken, the phone is not a camera, it can't shoot clearly, the dark sea is blurry, and you can hardly see anything.
He took the magnifying glass and attached it to the picture, and some subtle outlines began to show in front of him.
"It seems that something is on the surface of the sea, and it seems to be very large."
Finch thought for a moment and shook his head again: "Such a big thing, it doesn't look like a ship, let alone a submarine that surfaced, and it can suddenly disappear."
He looked up, his gaze meeting Lena's.
Lena nodded, as if to indicate that she and Finch had thought of something.
"Alchemy facilities."
The two uttered the term almost in unison.
"I remember something."
Finch said: "In the past two years, according to some intelligence, the Deacons Department of the Liberation Society seems to have made great moves, and Haynes rarely appears at the Liberation Society's headquarters, which makes the members of the Priests' Council have a lot of opinions about him, and some people even accuse him of transgressing his authority to seconded the alchemists in the research institute of the Liberation Society headquarters to his deacon's department to carry out a very secret mission. ” "I guess I made this."
Lena picked up the picture and looked at it carefully under the light, still at a loss, "If it's an alchemy facility, what is this thing, what's the use" "This huge alchemy facility can't be made by those second-rate alchemists of the Restoration Society alone."
Finch said: "Only some highly skilled and degenerate alchemists in the dwarfs, who are willing to work for money, can make it, of course, the deacon's department will not be short of money, and Haynes is also a master who is willing to spend money, so of course it can be made."
I think that's what the so-called big project is worth it.
And the place where Long Yun went this time is this island that can disappear. ”:
