Russell dragged his daughter's hand toward the control room and said without looking back: "Kesha, what are you talking about? Your disease has been cured, so you don't have to think so much."

His words did not revive the trembling girl, but made her even more frightened.

Before they could enter, they saw an embarrassed young man running over at the end of the corridor, followed by the equally embarrassed Dragon Girl.

"leader?!"

"PhD?!"

Li Li and Mephistopheles exclaimed.

Scout, with quick eyes and hands, raised the rifle in his hand and pointed it at the dragon girl.

Mephistopheles pointed his staff at Russell.

Russell opened his arms to protect Kesha behind him.

Li pointed the dagger at Mephistopheles.

The dragon girl who caught up from behind covered her face with one hand and pointed her long sword at Li with the other hand.

Zhou Jinru took out his revolver and subconsciously pointed the gun at Mephisto. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong. Tallulah might not be willing to give up anything for Mephisto, so he turned the gun towards Tallulah again, and then he realized

No one threatened him with weapons...

The eldest brother lowered his hands and remained silent.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Zhou Jinru unexpectedly discovered that the revolver, which has special effects on deep-sea creatures, had no effect on Tallulah, indicating that she was acting in her true self at this moment. No wonder her strength was not as good as before.

"Okay, let's talk about it. There may be some misunderstandings."

Zhou Jinru was the first to raise his right hand and put his index finger in the buckle of the revolver to show that he was not hostile.

"I can't see even a little bit of sincerity, you killed so many of my people..."

Zhou Jinru raised his eyebrows: "You can't say this nonsense. Those people in the corridor were just asleep. I didn't kill anyone. If you don't believe me, you can go back and check. I'll wait for you here."

He did not actually kill anyone. The people who fell were all knocked unconscious, and there was no color on the ground. They looked scary, but in fact they were all still alive.

Russell pressed Mephisto's staff with his chest and sneered: "Is this how you integrate the movement?"

The dragon girl's scales receded, the corners of her mouth were swollen, and her left cheek was bruised. She shouted: "Ino, be obedient and put down your weapon."

"But……"

"Treat me first."

"yes."

Mephistopheles reluctantly lowered his staff and walked to Tallulah to heal her wounds.

Emerald green light emitted from the little boy's palm. Tallulah felt a warm breath, her burning cheeks were slightly cooler, and she stared at the man's back. This man was covered in a turtle shell. If you couldn't break it, you couldn't hurt him.

The hardness of the shield made her unable to withstand the blow.

There is also the elusive stun method. You can't see any starting movements, and you are controlled. You can't defend yourself. Fortunately, it only lasts for a short second.

You have to think of a way to deal with him.

Zhou Jinru didn't know what Talulah was thinking behind him. He used his talent to scan it and found that everyone present had a stable emotional source, indicating that there was no problem.

"Does Tallulah's ability to return to normal have something to do with the central control room?"

Zhou Jinru guessed and put his eyes on Li. Sensing the doctor's gaze, the girl turned pale and lowered her head, not daring to say anything more.

"It was my intention for her to come on board. I hired her, but I didn't follow your Rhode Island's normal hiring process."

Luo Sou noticed the small movements between the two people and never took his eyes away from them, so he took the initiative to help Li escape, which surprised Zhou Jinru.

Zhou Jinru nodded, stopped arguing, glanced at a few people, and took the initiative to say: "Mr. Timos, you have also obtained the big ship, can you end the dream now?"

"It's almost time. Thank you for your cooperation tonight. I'm very satisfied. I welcome you all to come to St. Aral in the future. Timos Manor will entertain you well."

"End it quickly and don't release some weird things. I have something else to ask you."

Zhou Jinru held back a lot of questions and took the initiative to walk into the central control room. He was familiar with every brick and stone here, but what he saw was not what he imagined.

All kinds of precision instruments were destroyed. Only the frame of the large screen was left, and not a single good button was visible on the console. The damage was extremely complete.

"There was an explosion here. The explosion started from the inside. It should be the result of Rhode Island's self-destruction program being activated."

The eldest brother, who had been silent, took a few glances and made a judgment. His words made Zhou Jinru narrow his eyes slightly.

Tallulah walked at the back. After treatment, the swelling on her face had subsided, but the scars were still there and the pain was unavoidable. She tried not to speak to avoid disturbing the injury.

Mephistopheles ran into the corridor to check on the unconscious integrated movements, but did not follow them for the time being.

"Basically, it is consistent with what Ceria and others described in the dream world. Rhode Island did self-destruct. But in this case, wouldn't the operating rod be destroyed along with it?"

Zhou Jinru never understood Mr. KFC's hint, so he walked to the temporary lounge alone. If nothing unexpected happened, the doctor rested there most of the time, so there should be some traces left.

Of course, this is all based on the fact that the damage to the temporary lounge is not serious.

Pushing open the ajar door, bright lights from the central control room shine in, but because Zhou Jinru's tall body blocks part of the light, the view is quite dim. Fortunately, the infrastructure inside is still well preserved...

Zhou Jinru walked in and sat beside the bed against the wall. He bent down naturally, supported his legs with his arms, and looked down at the floor. This was his posture when he was thinking.

A shadow fell on him. Zhou Jinru turned his head and saw the dragon girl looking at him, with strange emotions flowing in her dark golden eyes.

One moment the two of them were fighting for life and death, but the next moment they were as quiet as old friends they hadn't seen for many years.

Zhou Jinru ignored her and reached out to touch the pillow. Sure enough, he touched an energy bar under the pillow. It was strawberry flavored. He didn't like it, but the little rabbit liked it very much because she often rested here.

After tearing open the package and gently sniffing the sweet aroma of the energy bar, Zhou Jinru didn't take his mouth for a while, staring at the energy bar with his eyes.

"Everything happened very suddenly without any warning, so no one knew what was going on."

"So according to the inertia of Rhode Island's operation, Rhode Island will still maintain normal operation without the postdoc. The work that should be done and the tasks that should be performed will be carried out as usual, so Amiya will put the energy bar under the pillow."

"It's just that we need to keep it a secret, so we will announce to the outside world that the person who assassinated the doctor was 'a certain operator'."

Zhou Jinru raised his head with a look of astonishment on his face: "Except for the central control room, all other facilities are still well preserved, and the lighting equipment can even operate normally. This ship is a dream, a beautiful dream. Whose dream are we in?"

!”

For a moment, the mountain skill continued to shine brightly. He looked at his hands, and the energy rod in his hand turned into a slippery tentacle, wrapped around his wrist.

Pulling the tentacles apart, Zhou Jinru raised his revolver, and the twisted tentacles that appeared in the temporary lounge moved away from him.

But the destroyed central control room remained the same, except that Mephisto ran in all the way in the corridor, collapsed on the ground and panted, and he was almost captured by those monsters.

Unfortunately, Zhou Jinru's pants were soaked. When he stood up, he found that he was sitting in a puddle of water. It felt terrible.

The lights above their heads dimmed, and they could only barely see each other. Everyone present also realized the seriousness of the problem.

Russell yelled: "What the hell is going on?!"

Zhou Jinru said with a cold face: "Are things in the deep sea so easy to get? There is a big congressman outside now!"

The eldest brother and the undead looked at each other, and the former took a step forward: "I will lead you to break out."

"Shut up!"

Zhou Jinru and Talulah said in unison.

Li grabbed the corner of the doctor's clothes, and Zhou Jinru held her cold hand and said lightly: "There is only one problem before us now. Someone is dreaming in a dream, forming a second layer of dreams. Before the central control room is opened, everything is

The sweet dream has now turned into a nightmare. According to the rules of dream rituals, it can be said that the second layer of dreams has penetrated the reality of the first layer of dreams. Mr. Timos, be sincere, your wish is about to come true, because

Because of the dream ritual, there is almost no difference between the first layer of dreams and reality, and this big ship is about to enter reality."

"what should we do?"

Zhou Jinru rubbed his face: "What can I do? Find the person who is dreaming, because the Deep Sea Council is coming to the real world through dreams. Mr. Timos, did Lin Xiaoxi tell you that those who have had beautiful dreams will be here?"

Being swallowed by darkness in a dream?"

St. Martin's original nightmare still left him with a trace of shock. In the memorial square where the giants of the deep were defeated, there was a stone tablet engraved with the list of the missing. They all disappeared in their dreams, and most of them came from all over the world to make a living.

ordinary people, and there are also a considerable number of infected people.

Tallulah drew her sword and pointed it at Russell and Kesha behind him.

"This is against the rules!"

A short sword slipped out of Russell's sleeve, showing no fear when facing the dragon girl.

"Mr. Timos, we can tell you the rules, but the Deep Sea Council cannot tell the rules."

Zhou Jinru slapped the revolver on the console and stared at Russell...Kesha behind him sighed: "There is a person here who came out of the first layer of dreams. She is the only one who has a realistic concept of the first layer of dreams.

You used Ifrit's Balrog to cause a localized nightmare to penetrate reality and bring Miss Kesha into reality, but the dream ritual is not over yet. She is still inextricably linked to the dream. Am I right?"

"You have been using me from the beginning to the end to make me and the Rhode Island operators believe in Miss Kesha's truth, and then make her believe in the truth of Rhode Island. However, you have never been to Rhode Island, but you can outline

Rhode Island has perfect facilities and some details, except for one thing.”

Zhou Jinru raised a finger and pointed at the console: "Except here, because no one has told you where the control lever is, because it has been blown up."

"Aguang..."

Russell did not speak, but Kesha behind him looked over. In her eyes, the man in front of her became very strange. It should be said that he was a stranger from the beginning, whether it was his status as an ordinary person when he deceived her, or his identity as a stranger when he deceived her.
To be continued...
