I became a member of the ancient gods

Chapter 7 Abyss Investigator

Exactly the same! !

Lin Zhong came to the conclusion at a glance.

No wonder she felt familiar. After being reminded by the name "Li Suling", Lin was finally able to match the face of the woman in front of him with the memory buried deep in his mind.

He had only met Li Suling during that mission many years ago. In fact, he had not even had a serious conversation with her, and could only say hello temporarily.

But after nearly half a month of peer inspection, he was not completely unimpressed by this person. He remembered that when he first contacted the scientific expedition team, the womanizing Xu Zhongyi quietly said to him, "This woman is quite beautiful, so why not find a chance to get to know her?" " Lin Zhong in turn advised him to "be honest and don't cause trouble for yourself."

The senior investigators of the Military Industry Research Institute all have high military ranks. They are serious senior officers and have a high status in the sanctuary. As for them, the Abyss Hunters, except for the top few Dawn Hunters, the rest are, to put it bluntly, They are just mercenaries with special licenses recruited by the association.

The relationship between the research institute and the association is unusual. This task is that the research institute hires them as bodyguards through the association. When doing this kind of task, offending an employer with such a background will only cause endless trouble for oneself.

The only thing that impressed him slightly was that after the scientific expedition mission ended safely, the female researcher came to shake hands with the members of their team one by one, and thanked them with a smile for their earnest performance of the escort work.

The woman left a very weak impression on him. She vaguely seemed to be a gentle and gentle woman with a strong intellectual aura. Although she was engaged in the exploration of the abyss like them, her temperament was completely different from rough people like them who fought in bloody battles.

After that escort mission ended, he and Li Suling never had any interactions with each other again.

But looking back now, in recent years, he seemed to have never seen Li Suling's name in the intelligence materials distributed by the association.

Lin Mo stared at the woman's face, the more he looked at her, the more he became more and more confused.

No matter how he looked at the face, it was that of the female researcher, but he clearly remembered that the person was an ordinary human being, not a monster with six tentacles on its back who could survive being shot in the head with a gun.

What's more, if this woman is Li Suling, why can't she interpret her notes?

"Is there something on my face?" The woman felt very uncomfortable being stared at by him, and she frowned displeased again.

Lin Zhi took a deep breath and tried to ask: "Li Suling?"

The woman suddenly opened her eyes wide, obviously touched by the name, but immediately she showed a confused look.

"Do you have any impression of this name?" Lin Zhong saw the other party's subtle reaction and continued to ask.

"Where did you hear this name?" the woman asked him.

"It's on the cover of this note. It seems to be the owner of the note." Lin Zhong picked up the note and pointed to the name on the cover.

He didn't say anything about the other person's face being exactly the same as Li Suling for the time being, intending to observe the other person's reaction first.

The woman was silent for a long time, and finally stared at Lin Zhong and said, "Hurry up and read down, tell me what's written in it!"

Lin finally realized that the other party had an impression of the name, but seemed unable to remember where the name came from.

It seems that if you want to know the relationship between her and Li Suling, you can only hope that there are some key clues recorded in the notes.

Lin Zhi carefully opened the notebook and began to interpret the contents.

On the first page of the notebook, there is only one sentence: "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring into you."

As expected of a highly educated researcher, quite artistic... Lin Zhong muttered in his heart and continued to scroll down without caring.

The contents of the notebook are arranged chronologically. Judging from the earliest date, this notebook was started four years ago.

This is a memorandum and a research shorthand. Precision electronic products are expensive and scarce these days, but it should be nothing to investigators at the Military Industrial Research Institute. There are not many researchers who use paper and pen to take notes, but they are still There are still some people who are more accustomed to this traditional text carrier.

The owner of the notes, Li Suling, casually wrote down the schedule and research data that needed to be recorded on them. Basically, they were all written very briefly. Many of the records had no beginning and no end, and the arrangement was also messy, including sentences, words, numbers, tree diagrams, etc. The sketches are mixed together, and sometimes the note owner will use a certain page as a scratch paper to calculate data. The records under certain dates basically only have a few numbers and words with unclear meanings. I am afraid that only the note owner can decipher them. meaning.

What's even more troublesome is that the notebook is stained and the writing is small, making it even more difficult to read in this dark room.

So not long after reading, Lin finally fell into difficulty in interpretation.

What can this tell about?He couldn't help but complain in his heart.

no, wait...

He suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

This note is stained with blood. Did something happen to the owner of the note in the end?Will she write something in the end?
He moved his fingers, causing the pages to slide quickly one by one from his fingertips, and soon turned to an empty page.

The content of the last two pages before the blank pages was almost covered with gray-brown stains. At the same time, Lin Zhong's eyes vaguely caught sight of the unusually large paragraphs of text written on them.

He immediately turned back to those two pages and immediately realized that his guess was correct.

The last two pages of this notebook contain the most critical information.

Different from the previous records, this large paragraph of text records the last research experience of the note owner in detail like a diary:

"April 2047, 10

All members of the scientific expedition team died, and I was the only one alive, but I probably wouldn’t live long.

I was parasitized, I could feel the shit inside me.It's weak, but I'm weak too, and I've tried things in vain.

I have difficulty speaking because of damaged vocal cords.Before I am completely helpless, I will try my best to record the entire cause and effect. Maybe after I am unfortunately killed, someone will have the opportunity to read this report.

Our investigation began on September 9, and we entered the polluted area to investigate the D30 area of ​​the Central Ring. Before that, we received three sighting reports of unknown abyssal creatures in the area from the Exploration Association. The characteristics of each report were different.

The preliminary investigation process has been recorded in the official report and will not be repeated in detail. I will only talk about the final conclusion: a queen species apostle appeared in this place. The unknown species observed were all individuals captured by other creatures and modified.

The front half of the apostle is a tall humanoid with female characteristics and six arms. The back half is in the shape of a fat snake. The whole body is covered with scales. The body length is estimated to be about ten meters, and the weight is estimated to be 1 to 3 tons.

The dissection showed that the internal structure was also similar to that of Apostle No. 14, the 'Insect Queen' found in Area [-]. It had the function of re-hatching, so it was speculated that it was a queen species.

During the investigation, we were lured by him and mistakenly fell into the trap he set in his lair. I take full responsibility for this.

During the battle, I was affected by the explosion and fell into a coma. When I regained consciousness, all members of the scientific expedition team, including the escorts, were dead. The apostle was severely injured, and his body was broken from the middle and could not continue to regenerate.

The Apostle crawled towards me, and I managed to fire back with my rifle, destroying the Apostle's head.However, after the apostle fell, a parasite was released from the wound on his head, stabbed me in the neck, and entered my body. "
