Below kilometer, Professor, your idea is somewhat dangerous.” “……在千米以下,教授,你的想法有些危险。” Mhere sighed: „I think that your such soldier will favor compared with my scholar the ideas of these dangers.” 麦尔逊叹了口气:“我以为你这样的军人会比我这个学者更倾向于那些危险的想法。” „My responsibility is to protect the City-State security, this mission makes me favor the discrete conservative conduct policy,” Belazov said lightly, „said that you actually also do intend to restart...... these ‚diving outfit’?” “我的职责是保护城邦的安全,这项使命让我更倾向于谨慎保守的行事方针,”贝拉佐夫淡淡说道,“这么说,你其实也有意重启……那些‘潜水设备’？” „You actually want to say that ‚restarts Plan of Diving in the Abyss’?” The senior professor smiled, is shaking the head, „felt relieved, I did not have to this degree rashly, but not being able to go round facts suspend here the key of —— matter under the deep water, but diving bell replica of a swayed in laboratory cannot untie any riddle topic, we really should consider ‚reserve plan’ —— not necessarily are the initiative submergences, but if really has the ninth even tenth replica to float the water surface, our at least some methods of dealing line.” “你其实更想说‘重启潜渊计划’吧？”老教授笑了一下,摇着头,“放心,我还没莽撞到这种程度,只不过有一个绕不开的事实摆在这里——整件事的关键在深水之下,而一个摆在实验室里的潜水钟复制品解不开任何谜题,我们或许真的该考虑一下‘储备方案’了——不一定是主动下潜,但万一真的有第九个甚至第十个复制品浮上水面,我们至少该有些应对的手段才行。” „...... I will transmit your suggestion to the government affairs hall,” Belazov slightly does to hesitate, shouted the tone gently, „, but before explicit issuance of order, the secret room project conducts as usual.” “……我会把您的建议传达给政务厅的,”贝拉佐夫略作沉吟,轻轻呼了口气,“而在明确命令下达之前,密室这边的项目如常进行。” The senior professor nods: „Many thanks.” 老教授点了点头:“多谢。” The petrel number left. 海燕号离开了。 The steam power express steamer breaks out the gentle wave, leaves behind the attractive contrail of together unceasingly proliferating on Boundless Sea, the Dagger Island steep winding coast in the field of vision goes far away slowly, and is hidden little in the north sea area common mist deep place. 蒸汽动力快船劈开平缓的波浪,在无垠海上留下一道不断扩散开的漂亮尾迹,匕首岛陡峭曲折的海岸在视野中缓缓远去,并一点点隐没在北方海域常见的薄雾深处。 Belazov on deck takes back the observation to the line of sight of island, turns around to walk toward the direction of Room Captain. 甲板上的贝拉佐夫收回了望向海岛的视线,转身向船长的方向走去。 Dagger Island to the Cold Frost main island, although is not remote, actually also several hours of flights, in this bored journey, he must reorganize the own mentality, thinks how well should with the City-State managers report how has matter —— about #3 Submersible as well as should speak of Mhere to abdicate the professor these suggestions that finally offers. 匕首岛离寒霜本岛虽不遥远,却也有几个小时的航程,在这段无聊的旅途中,他要整理一下自己的思路,好好想想该怎么跟城邦的管理者们报告有关于三号潜水器的事情——以及该怎么提起麦尔逊教授在最后给出的那些建议。 Plan of Diving in the Abyss...... this long-pending case half a century ago really left behind the influence of too profound terrifying, gradually turned into a taboo without hesitation, but the new replica has started to break surface from the deep sea now, perhaps really should adopt point driving dealing. 潜渊计划……这桩半个世纪前的旧案实在是留下了太深远恐怖的影响,以至于渐渐变成了一种不假思索的禁忌,但如今新的复制品已经开始从深海上浮,恐怕真的应该采取点更主动的应对了。 A sailor waits near Room Captain, to general nod report: „Steam core functions as usual, we will arrive in the Cold Frost No. 1 harbor after four hours.” 一名水兵等候在船长附近,对将军点头汇报:“蒸汽核心运转正常,我们会在四小时后抵达寒霜一号港口。” Belazov looked at this somewhat strange sailor one eyes, gently nod: „I need to rest a meeting, the safe/without matter do not disturb.” 贝拉佐夫看了这名有些陌生的水兵一眼,轻轻点头:“我需要休息一会,无事不要来打扰。” „Yes, General.” “是,将军。” Belazov returned to Room Captain, sits down before the desk, listening to the low and drawn out mechanical sound to transmit from the under foot floor deep place, breathes a sigh of relief gently. 贝拉佐夫返回了船长,在书桌前坐下,听着低缓的机械声从脚下地板深处传来,轻轻舒了口气。 Quick can return to the main island. 很快就能返回本岛了。 He calms down, turns on the desk drawer conveniently, takes out places the note in drawer hidden compartment ahead of time. 他定了定神,随手打开书桌抽屉,取出提前放在抽屉暗格里的手记。 The travel of this Dagger Island and has no abnormal, on the return road is also very smooth, but some flow things were still obligato, this is the order, is the responsibility. 这次匕首岛之旅并无什么异常,返航路上也很顺利,但一些流程性的事情仍然不能省略,这是命令,也是职责。 After opening the note, the above first few words heave in sight: 打开手记之后,上面的第一句话映入眼帘: „Even all normal, must confirm that own reason and judgment ability, even surroundings nothing suspicious, must confirm the following content” “即便一切正常,也必须确认自己的理智和判断能力,即便周围没有任何可疑,也必须验证以下内容” The Belazov change page, is carrying out a series of operations extremely adeptly. 贝拉佐夫翻动书页,极为娴熟地执行着一系列操作。 Changes the page the sound to resound —— in the room unceasingly 翻动书页的声音在房间中不断响起—— „You are left Li the hand, now confirms this point......” “你是左利手,现在确认这一点……” „Recalls a color, later turns to the next page...... must be the blue color or the black.” “回忆一个颜色,随后翻到下一页……应当是蓝色或黑色。” „Keyword, the dagger, imagines, confirmed that the picture in mind whether and next page of pictures tally.” “关键词,匕首,进行想象,确认脑海中的画面是否和下一页的图片相符。” „Your name, Belazov, attempts to spell in the next page of blanks.” “你的名字,贝拉佐夫,尝试在下一页的空白处拼写一遍。” „This time, the entourage conduct excessively simple, on the ship has, and only then 32 people of —— including your oneself.

Had an accident?” 这种微弱的意识偏差让这位将军心中渐渐愈发警惕,他盯着本杰明看了许久,努力想要寻找心中那丝违和感的来源,直到副官的声音再次传入耳中:“将军？出什么事了？” „...... Benjamin, should the person have several eyes?” Belazov asked suddenly. “……本杰明,人应该有几只眼睛？”贝拉佐夫突然问道。 The adjutant was shocked suddenly, as if fell into the mind blank before this issue, sees this situation, Belazov opens the mouth immediately: „Forgets this issue, but spoke thoughtlessly asked —— you first went to the room to rest, under I went to have a look.” 副官突然愣住了,仿佛是在这个问题前陷入了头脑空白,见到这个情况,贝拉佐夫立刻开口:“忘记这个问题吧,只是随口一问——你先回房间休息,我去下面看看。” The adjutant blinks, although has doubts, but nods: „Yes, General.” 副官眨了眨眼,虽然疑惑,但还是点了点头:“是,将军。” One-eyed human named Benjamin returned to the room, seems like does not have any abnormal, Belazov looks at the back of opposite party, first relaxes, has then turned around, walks toward the corridor end fast. 名叫本杰明的独眼人类返回了房间,看上去没有什么异常,贝拉佐夫看着对方的背影,先是松了口气,紧接着便转过身,飞快地向着走廊尽头走去。 He knows, oneself somewhat was rash —— should not a moment ago, in has had the suspicion in the situation to seem like some not right person inquiry that strange issue to one, even if the opposite party is one of adjutants oneself most trusts. 他知道,自己刚才还是有些莽撞了——不应该在已经产生怀疑的情况下向一个似乎有些不对劲的人询问那么古怪的问题,哪怕对方是自己最信赖的副官之一。 Without the inquiry, he cannot confirm indistinctly oneself detects is strange whether really exists. 但如果没有刚才的询问,他又不能确认自己隐约察觉的怪异是否真的存在。 Now, he confirmed. 现在,他确认了。 On the ship is not quite right, some...... the thing of concealment danger embarked. 船上不太对劲,有一些……隐匿危险的东西上船了。 He across the corridor, arrived at the sailor cafeteria fast. 他飞快地穿过走廊,来到了水兵食堂。 In the cafeteria full is the sailor, the soldiers somewhat looks at the sudden general stunned anxiously. 食堂中满是水手,士兵们有些错愕紧张地看着突然出现的将军。 The Belazov vision has swept here everyone, later beckons with the hand to them, goes to the bridge fast. 贝拉佐夫的目光扫过这里的每一个人,随后对他们摆了摆手,又飞快地前往舰桥。 Here is also a person. 这里也都是人。 In deck also many people. 甲板上也有许多人。 When petrel number personnel simplify, embarks has and only has 32 people. 海燕号本次人员精简,出发时有且只有三十二人。 The population is not right, is not right. 人数不对,非常非常不对。 However „all normal” the thought was still jumping in the mind unceasingly, as if in resisting that has been placed in outwardly on being out of sorts fact. 然而“一切正常”的思维仍然不断在脑海中跳跃着,仿佛是在对抗着那已经摆在明面上的违和事实。 Belazov stands in leading to the staircase in mechanical cabin, the expression is gazing at the downward slopeway tranquilly. 贝拉佐夫站在通往机械舱的楼梯上,表情平静地注视着向下的坡道。 The consciousness of tearing is resisting, but he has not needed to care about two consciousness to have what detail difference. 撕裂的意识正在对抗,但他已经无需在意两股意识到底有什么细节差异了。 From arriving in the Cold Frost main island, two hours. 距离抵达寒霜本岛,还有两个多小时。 This ship, is driving straightly toward City-State. 这艘船,正在笔直地向着城邦驶去。 He inspires gently, takes a step walks toward the mechanical cabin in this ship most deep place. 他轻轻吸了口气,迈步向这艘船最深处的机械舱走去。
