Artificial Life 9
"Thomas? Hey! Thomas!"
"Ah, yes?" The young engineer answered his colleague as if waking up from a dream, "Yes!"
"Really? Why are you so absent-minded again?" The colleague glared at him unhappily, but there was not much complaint in his tone. Living at sea for a long time is not as romantic as described in literary works. Being separated from family for a long time, the impact of the marine environment on the body, the huge workload and the danger of the job can easily lead to psychological problems. In the eyes of the colleague, the young man's lack of concentration is just because he has just returned from the shore and has not yet adapted. Or even if there is a problem, it has nothing to do with him, as long as it does not explode when they are on duty together. "Hurry up and work!"
Thomas silently checked the equipment and patrolled the engine room and steering gear room every day. He had done this boring work for many years. It can be said that he could tell what was wrong with the Selmes with his eyes closed. It was precisely because of this...
The sweat from his palms soaked the fabric of his trouser pockets. The items that had been in there had long been put into the equipment when his colleagues were not paying attention, just as the man said.
"The agreed money has been deposited. Remember what you need to do."
The boy with bright red eyes trotted over and pressed the button-sized metal object into his palm.
Soon...soon, the troubles I have been having for so many years will disappear...

Fūtani Rei boarded the ship one day earlier than Morobushi Kagemitsu.
Although the mission was assigned to him, Vermouth and Gil, they did not actually enter with the same invitation. Vermouth and Gil got another one through their connections in the organization, and Bourbon was not sure of their exact time to board the ship. Mystics would always be hit by boomerangs from mystics.
But in fact, this was not the most annoying thing about this trip.
"The restaurant is just ahead, turn right, Mr. Tongxiang."
The fair-skinned and gentle young man expressed his gratitude politely, with a hint of arrogance in his politeness. He turned around and his face became expressionless the moment he faced the waiter.
Looking at Tongxiang.
Although it is relatively rare, the word "Wang" can indeed be used as a male name in Neon language. After knowing the truth about his peers, Furiya Rei couldn't help but think about the name written on the invitation letter under disguise.
Is this a knock from the waterworks, or a joke from hell from my own generation? Based on his intuition, Rei Furuya always felt that the latter was more likely. His friend loved hell jokes and made fun of life every day of his life. He came to a place that couldn't be seen in the light under the name of his friend who couldn't be seen in the light, played his real self who couldn't be seen in the light, and performed a task that couldn't be seen in the light. This tongue twister was enough to make the man hanging on the rooftop hold his stomach and laugh until he cried.
Furutani Zero looked at everyone who passed by inconspicuously, trying to recognize some familiarity among them. The Selmes was famous for its excellent confidentiality, and the ship was equipped with special shielding devices. Even the organization's technology was not enough to be used on the ship.
——In other words, this is a veritable isolated island on the sea.
