Yeonsoo blinked his 55d3decc1f eyes, wondering if 5e118dd98f he was seeing 1b8986e3ae things. It tapped 182387bef9 its ear afd3887b0d again.

Unknowingly, Yeonsoo followed its actions. When he tapped his ear with his finger, he felt a hard object at the tip of his finger. It was the earpiece that blocked Beresht’s sound waves. Suddenly, he felt a chill run down his spine.80bd4463e9b4055e

It seemed that the emails exchanged with Tamar Shelvey had piled up quite a bit. The email conversation started with a discussion about the government’s irresponsible marine development, but it gradually expanded to various other topics of interest. As a result, they naturally became closer, and now they even exchanged casual conversations.7058322637945f27

Dear Yeonsoo,

A long time ago, the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in the United States conducted a six-year study using remotely operated submarines to observe five whale carcasses that were sunk to a depth of 3,000 meters in the deep sea. At that time, it was discovered that the dead whale carcasses provided habitats for various deep-sea organisms.1 When a whale carcass sinks to the deep sea, initially scavengers such as deep-sea sharks, hagfish, and crabs gather to feed on the flesh. Then, various deep-sea animals and microorganisms gather to feed on the bones and remaining scraps. It is said that it takes over a hundred years for a whale carcass to completely disappear. Isn’t it amazing? To continue supporting other organisms even after death. I believe there is no other creature as beneficial, dedicated, and beautiful as whales. I am glad to have a friend who shares my love for marine organisms and can have interesting conversations. With heartfelt regards, Tamar Shelvey

Thanks to that, they had endless conversations about interesting stories about various species, including rare deep-sea creatures.1940a1ecd90d61e2

“It’s a rumor, but in academia, he’s called a vampire. He published his first paper in the 1970s. If that’s the case, he would be at least 90 years old, but I don’t feel any experience from him at all. How should I say… Doesn’t he exude the atmosphere of a young person in his twenties? When I talk to him, I get a very strange feeling, but I can’t quite put my finger on what it is.”2f6b28859d3d4b17
