Mysterious creature sightings

The storm is about to come to Dalinggou Welfare Institution, but the sky is clear in Guangyuan.

Ling Jiangyue has already got on the car going home.

Lin Zheng and the four wounded were pushed onto the helicopter in advance, and the mycology professor also took a seat as a special technical support.

The remaining Xu Jiayan and her could only choose another means of transportation to rush back with the reimbursement.

By the time they arrived, all the wounded had gone home to recuperate for a long time.

Xu Jiayan was going to Lin Zheng's house to visit the captain who was single and injured, and asked Ling Jiangyue if he wanted to come with him.

Of course Ling Jiangyue wanted to, he nodded quickly and rushed to keep up.

He stopped when he saw Xu Jiayan's subtle look and asked pretending to be embarrassed, "Would you like to buy some gifts?"

"You can buy some. Although Brother Lin basically brings things like fruit supplements and eats them with everyone."

What he wanted to express was don't buy anything expensive, just buy a bouquet of flowers.

But Ling Jiangyue's brain circuit was different. Hearing this, he thought of a way and said, "Then I'll buy something that's just enough for one person."

Xu Jiayan: "...that's okay."

She really only bought a gift for one person. When she was checking out, she listened to the person at the checkout and grabbed a cup of fragrant milk tea.

Red bean flavor, only one cup available.

Xu Jiayan felt that she might be a little careless, but when he thought about Lin Zheng's reaction when he saw this pile of condolence gifts for each person, he was looking forward to it.

After shopping, they took a taxi to Lin Zheng's house.

His apartment is a two-bedroom apartment, given free of charge by the bureau, and the location is pretty good.

The floor was relatively low and the elevator was full. They took the stairs to go up and met a few people who also went to visit Lin Zheng.

It can be seen that he has done a good job in the 507 Bureau. He is trusted by others and has a good relationship with colleagues. People from other departments have taken time out to express their condolences to him during working hours.

Ling Jiangyue just stood in the crowd and handed over the gift, unable to say anything, watching Lin Zheng being surrounded by a group of people asking various questions.

However, the purpose of her coming here was not to express condolences, so she took a stroll and visited his home.

She didn't know why the workroom was open. She peeked at the door and saw a transparent glass-covered shelf in the middle of the filing cabinet. The lights were on, and the small toys placed inside were very eye-catching.

After looking at it, I couldn't help but walk in.

She looked at them as closely as she admired beautiful clothes in a display window.

The transparent seaweed in the middle is similar to 3D printing. From different angles, you can catch a glimpse of lavender light. It is incredibly beautiful.

Next to it are several snail shells, as colorful as hand-painted, each one is different and bright.

There is also a model of a small fish with fluorescent lines on its black body, like a mechanical fish in a science fiction movie.

Every one of them was so strange that she couldn't move her eyes away. She pressed her fingers on the glass and touched them in the air.

"That's the shell of the fork-lined snail, also called the Cuban candy snail. It lives on trees and feeds on fungi. It is known as one of the most beautiful species in the world because of its colorful colors. Their shells rarely have repeated color combinations. , so many people like to collect.”

Lin Zheng stood behind her at some point, watching her poke the snail shells from afar, and explained in a calm voice.

Ling Jiangyue curled her fingers, slowly turned to look at him, and then looked out the door.

"Why are you here? There are many guests?"

Lin Zheng: "I should ask you this question, why are you here? Xu Jiayan said you are here to visit a patient."

Instead of coming to his home to see the biological model.Ling Jiangyue blinked, touched his ears and said, "There were too many people. I couldn't speak, so I looked around and found that the things here are so beautiful."

On the contrary, this patient is not so beautiful. He is covered in white bandages, and his clothes cannot be buttoned up, so he can only wear them.

Just like Bai Wuchang, who has been an exchange student in the Western world across borders.

No one heard her slander, but judging from her expression, she was a very well-behaved and delicate girl.

Lin Zheng looked away and looked at the model in the display cabinet, saying "hmm".

Probably echoing her statement, "The things here are so beautiful."

"Do you know what these creatures are?" he asked.

Ling Jiangyue had some understanding of deep-sea creatures, but now there was no need to be honest, so she shook her head blankly.

"I don't know. Are these real creatures?"

"Yes." Lin Zheng took a few steps closer, stretched his arm over her shoulders, and opened the glass cover of the display cabinet.

"Which one do you want to know about?"

"Let's do this." She had no idea of ​​getting too close and nervously moving away. She stood as steady as an electric pile embedded in the cement floor and pointed at the transparent sea zone in the middle.

Worried that he didn't see where she was pointing, she pinched his fingers and touched the edge of the model. She looked sideways at him with an innocent expression, as if she was simply giving him instructions.

Lin Zheng didn't seem to notice the subtlety of this movement, so he followed her direction and introduced:

"That's the Belt of Cupid, also called the Belt of Venus. It's a type of ctenophores. When scientists discovered it in the deep sea, they described it as a dazzling transparent ribbon."

"Oh. What about this fish?"

"The diāo is a nocturnal fish that eats plankton. It glows under its eyes in the dark. Some people say it is the prototype of "Venom."

"What about the one on the far side? It looks like a weird ghost doll."

"Sea angel. The translucent gelatinous skin emits a faint sheen, and has flapping 'wings'. It looks like an angel, so it is called this name. The heart can be vaguely seen, and it is said to have a fiery heart. They The adult body is only a few centimeters long. Although it is a hermaphrodite, it still needs to mate with each other to reproduce. It looks like a brother to the jellyfish, but it is actually a distant relative of the snail."

After recognizing everything inside, Ling Jiangyue turned to look at him again and asked in a low voice: "Can I touch it?"

Lin Zheng didn't answer, but the hand that opened the glass cover moved, indicating that she could take it out.

She took the sea angel, touched her head, and asked him: "Why do you put these biological models here? I thought they would be some more mysterious species."

"The mystery of living things is usually not expressed in form. These magical-looking creatures often remind me that there are many things in the world that humans have not discovered, and remind me that I must remain in awe of the biological world."

He spoke calmly, leaning against the display cabinet, and casually stretched out his hand to hook the "wings" of the Sea Angel model.

The gelatinous material swayed and poked Ling Jiangyue's hand, as if the temperature of the two people's fingertips was transmitted to each other's skin touch receptors through the model.

For a minute or two, there was no sound in the room.

The eavesdropper at the door tiptoed away and reached the living room.

The people who came to visit had almost left. The two people from the Human Science Department stayed because they had something to talk with Lin Zheng. They didn't expect to hear him being a bride for a girl.

"Tell me, what were they doing just now?" one of them asked Xu Jiayan.

"Maybe...we're discussing biodiversity?" Xu Jiayan was unsure.

"I really saw a diversity of life."
