Chapter 184 Back to reality
The sudden silence around him was a loud slap in the face, and the dark green complexion suddenly became gloomy. He gritted his teeth and attacked rapidly. The weapon in his hand forced 001 to retreat again and again.
The opponent's strength is not small, and the attack skills are very strong. While 001 is evading, he is also observing and learning.
He still has too little fighting experience with the mermaid. If he is careless, he will leave flaws, and the opponent will hit his vitals.
001 blocked the attack with the spear, pushed it hard, took advantage of the opponent's loss of strength, retreated, headed up, and stabbed the spear at the same time.
Dark Green raised his head suddenly, his body shifted to avoid, but there was still a line on his face.
Blood seeped out and floated in the sea.
His fingers brushed the wound, his eyes were sharp, and he turned to use a harpoon to lift a stone and slap it in the direction of the opponent.
001 did not dodge or dodge, split the stone with a bone spur, and slapped one of the stones back with his tail, with a much heavier force than when he flew head-on.
This kind of practice of "returning the way of one's own life" is like provocation, the dark green eyes are fierce, and the whole face is distorted with anger.
What really caused him to lose control of his emotions was that the other party always looked indifferent, as if he was a nobody who was not worthy of his best efforts.
I thought that the other party was young, had little experience, and was vulnerable.
Who would have thought it would be so difficult!
Mo Lu was in a complicated mood, and with all her strength, she launched a melee attack again.
Two different weapons collided with each other, ping-pong sounded, 001 kicked over, and when the opponent's body flew out, he also stepped back.
Dark green rubbed his stomach, his eyes were red, and he was angry.
He suddenly narrowed his eyes, smiled, and rushed up again, holding 001's spear with a harpoon, and picked it up hard.
001 knew that this was given to him by Li Yu, and was so distressed that he couldn't let it go. He also secretly tried to pick the opponent's weapon away.
At this moment, two mermaids who were hiding in the dark suddenly appeared and slammed into 001's back.
He was distracted and let go of the weapon.
Coincidentally, the dark green weapon was also taken away by the spear. He didn't rush to get the weapon back, but showed the bone spurs in his hand and scuffled with 001.
The bone spurs of the two mermaids are both long and sharp, but with a dozen strokes, large and small wounds appeared on both sides.
When 001's bone spur crossed the opponent's waist and abdomen again, he also took a bite, and then he was hugged by the opponent's arm and forced to swim to the depths of the sea.
I saw the color of the sea water in the light screen changed from azure blue to dark blue, and then from dark blue to blue-black.
Li Yu remembered that dream again, his heart twitched, he propped up the edge of the boat and shouted at the bottom, "Be careful, be careful down there!"
Dark green will not sneak into the depths with 001 for no reason, there must be something beneficial to him.
Maybe the environment, maybe some unknown creature.
"Mask, mask!" Li Yu suddenly remembered something and asked 1551 eagerly, "Can the mask be used underwater?"
The host's emotions were a little out of control, and 1551 didn't hide it, "Yes, it will automatically change its shape after entering the water."
Li Yu grabbed the life-saving straw and quickly took out the mask from the toolbox and put it on.
Standing on the deck, he took a deep breath and jumped down with his eyes closed.
The system did not lie, the shape and texture of the mask changed immediately after it got wet, and it became a closed oxygen mask that automatically generates oxygen.
He couldn't swim and let his body fall freely, but soon the water pressure took a toll on his ears and it started to hurt.
Gaia followed closely with two sisters, intercepting him halfway.
He pointed to his ear and asked the young man if he was okay.
Li Yu didn't say anything, and shook his head.
Gaia didn't believe it. "You can't dive any more. The water pressure in that abyss is so great that you can't imagine. If you insist on going down, your ears will be deaf."
Li Yu broke free for a few times, and could only follow Gaia to a piece of coral to wait.
Through the light screen, he saw darkness, his eyes were almost blind, and he barely saw two shadows still hugging each other.
Li Yu closed his eyes, feeling anxious, "1551, what's in it?"
1551, "A creature that secretes strong acid and has no natural enemies, the snout bug."
Li Yu, "A lot?"
1551 scanned roughly, "A lot."
Li Yu's heart hangs, "Where are they located?"
1551. "The bottom of the abyss, everywhere."
No one can withstand a large and long period of strong acid corrosion.
Li Yu was frightened and frightened, but he never thought that such a terrifying creature would live under the blue water.
1551 didn't think it was enough, and added, "The snout bugs aren't picky eaters, they eat everything alive, dead, fresh, rotten..."
"Enough, shut up." Li Yu was anxious to become an ant on the hot pot, grabbed Gaia's arm and said, "There are kissworms down there, Su Yi is very dangerous, you put your hand away first, I think... β¦β
Gaia had long known what was underneath, interrupting the youth, "I know, but this is an inevitable struggle between them, and no one can interfere."
Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Lisa's sister whispered to Li Yu, "The failed mermaid will be expelled from the country and will never be allowed to step into the Antarctic. Of course, he can also choose another way and die."
Gaia, "The things in the abyss existed a long time ago. It was the battlefield of the mermaid. If the defeated mermaid chooses to surrender, he can leave alive. If he refuses, he can only die below, with no bones left."
Li Yu never knew that a battle for the throne would be so cruel.
1551, "Don't worry, the target's vital signs are now intact."
His heart was beating wildly, and the blood in his body seemed to be assimilated by the icy sea water. Li Yu knew that this battle was 001's own, and he had no right and could not interfere.
All they can do is passively wait with Gaia and the others.
Although Gaia was a little reckless, he still had a sense of emotions. Seeing that the young man was so worried that he was about to cry, he helped analyze, "Although Su Yi lacks combat experience, he is young, has good physical strength, and moves faster than Case. What do you think?"
Li Yu stared at the dark abyss, "Well."
Gaia, "..."
Li Yu is all focused on the live broadcast at the moment, and the 1551 has already debugged the night vision mode.
The interior of the abyss is very spacious. The rocks on both sides are steep and rugged. Two mermaids are fighting back and forth in it. Every time they hit it, they are injured and visible.
Li Yu saw that 001's bone spur was missing one, and the scales on the tail fell off and floated in the water.
Dark green was not much better. His arms and abdomen were full of wounds. He seemed to be in severe pain, and his face was slightly twisted.
Li Yu asked 1551 to zoom in on the camera, and only then did he see clearly that there were many burn marks on Mo Lu's body, and a hole the size of the tip of his little finger that was about to heal on his stomach.
1551, "Snout bugs like tender flesh."
Li Yu almost spit it out, the deep-sea animals are so terrifying, get goosebumps just thinking about it.
In the picture, a cold light flashed, and there was a wound on 001's face.
The wound stood upright from the corner of the eye and passed by the corner of the mouth.
He licked the corner of his lower lip with the tip of his tongue. His mouth was full of fishy smell. He didn't have time to consider the pain.
The bone spur sank into his body, but Dark Green stopped dodging. He held down 001's hand desperately, while supporting his shoulder with the other hand, pressing the opponent down to the bottom of the sea.
The high-speed movement brought about by the swing of the fish tail is overwhelming.
With a bang, 001's back bottomed out, and the sea sand floated up, making the entire sea water turbid.
The snout worm, lying quietly at the bottom, encountered a sudden danger, and instinctively began to secrete strong acid from the outside of the body.
001 was unavoidable, and the whole back hurt like being burned by fire.
He gritted his teeth, continued to press his left hand against the dark green abdomen, pinched his right hand into the opponent's shoulder bone, and used all his strength to roll around with him.
The upper and lower positions of the two mermaids were reversed, and the same pain, Mo Lu also tried it again.
He twitched in pain, bloodshot eyes burst out, and his tail slapped the bottom of the sea hard, "I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!"
001 never wanted to kill, not because of kindness, but because he knew that young people didn't like it.
He didn't want to see disgust and disappointment in the other person's eyes.
But today, he clearly realized that whether you die or I live has become a choice that must be completed.
Death is impossible. He has not made a crown for the person he loves, and he has not spent a lifetime with him under the blessing of the priest. How can he die.
001's dark eyes flashed a hint of tenderness that did not fit the scene, but the movements in his hands were even more ruthless, breaking through the opponent's shackles and successfully piercing the bone spurs completely through the opponent's body.
The top one of them just brushed the dark green heart.
Mo Lu felt an unprecedented panic, and in his vague consciousness, someone was asking him, "You admit defeat, and I will let you go."
The word admit defeat split his drowsy consciousness, and clear thinking poured into his mind.
He grinned, "Okay."
But in the dark, he raised his hand slowly and with great difficulty, and while the young fish hesitated, he slammed the bone spur into the opponent's back.
001's body froze for a moment, and the bone spur that had not yet been removed pushed up hard, completely splitting the heart.
The dark green weird and terrifying smile was frozen on his face forever.
When 001 left the bottom of the abyss, he heard many rustling voices rushing towards the dark green corpse.
Outside the abyss, there is always silence.
Each merman is watching intently below, wondering who will be the victor of this war.
Although he already knew the result, Li Yu was still uneasy. He asked the system to turn off the live broadcast and told Gaia, "Let's go down a little bit, just a little bit."
Gaia saw how pitiful he was begging, so he agreed, and took the young man down another ten meters.
Li Yu clasped his hands together and waited nervously.
From the dark depths of the abyss, a dark red suddenly appeared, and the dark red continued to expand, more and more, mixed with a few scales that fell off.
The scene in front of me perfectly coincides with the nightmare.
Li Yu felt like a hole was broken in his heart, panic, loss, pain, and all kinds of sharp emotions passed through it.
He saw a disempowered body floating up from the darkness, with black hair and a black tail.
When Gaia realized something, he tightened his fingers and pushed the young man to Lisa, "Take good care of people."
Lisa and the little sister held Li Yu to death, but the strange thing was that the young man didn't struggle or shout. He seemed to have suddenly lost some kind of support, just opened his eyes very hard and stared at the black man. Mermaid direction.
Gaia swam over, lifted 001's body, and tried his neck with his hands.
Pulse weak, still alive.
He turned his head to look at the abyss, the dark green figure did not appear, maybe he was also seriously injured, maybe he was dead.
001 was awake that afternoon.
When he woke up, he was lying in his carefully arranged lair, his body curled up like a child eager for warmth, his head buried in the young man's chest, his arms wrapped around the other's waist, his legs slightly bent, and his posture Perfect fit.
He was reluctant to let go, leaned over to kiss the young man's collarbone, and tightened his arms in satisfaction.
"Get up when you wake up." A lukewarm voice sounded above his head.
Li Yu had lingering fears about what happened before, and his mood was not too high. He frowned and pushed the man away, and turned the other side over forcefully.
The skin on the abdomen and back has grown, and the cool white skin is very attractive, without any scars.
I have to say that the race of mermaids is really against the sky. If they can reproduce in large numbers, they will rule the earth sooner or later.
1551 said suddenly, "Their reproductive capacity is very low."
Li Yu, "Delson's research data?"
1551, "Yes."
Li Yu, "What else is there that I don't know about?"
"Delson's data records that he once conducted an experiment where merman's saliva was applied to experimental mice to promote wound healing."
By inference, perhaps in addition to saliva, other things also have this effect.
Li Yu's mood gradually improved in 001's next well-behaved performance, but the returning mermaid saw that it was getting lower and lower, and there was even a small riot.
Dark green has never appeared again, and everyone knows what this means.
Every night, the mermaids couldn't help but get together and whisper, gossip about when the new lord will be crowned, and where his human partner will go.
At first, these chattering discussions would pass from Gaia's mouth to Li Yu's ears.
After a long time, the content went over and over again. In the end, even Gaia, who likes to listen to gossip, didn't want to listen to it anymore. He just told the young man secretly, "The one is preparing a special gift for you."
In recent days, 001 has spent most of every day hiding in a newly opened nest.
Because they didn't want to be discovered, the nest was located on the back of the island, dozens of kilometers away from their home.
Li Yu didn't deliberately eavesdrop or peek, but occasionally smelled a pungent smell from the man that something had been burned.
Thinking of the gas canisters and muskets that Gaia had picked up from the sea, he could probably guess what the man was doing recently.
The temperature of the musket is high enough to melt and forge gold.
The mystery of 001 continued until ten days later.
The weather was exceptionally sunny that day. Flocks of seabirds migrated from other places. Flocks of white whales swam across the sea, regularly spraying water for ventilation.
It is lively during the day and even more gorgeous at night.
A luminous creature that has never been seen before, came from another place not far away, willing to serve as a temporary embellishment.
Li Yu was sitting on a rock on the shore and put his bare feet in the water.
No matter how the Antarctic temperature rises, it is still a little cold. After a while, his feet are red from the cold.
In the evening tonight, 001 asked him to wait in the shallows.
This wait, until after nine o'clock in the evening.
Li Yu couldn't wait any longer, so he sent a message to the man with his bracelet, got up to leave, and suddenly there was a thud in the sea behind him, and some large creature jumped up from the water and fell heavily.
He turned and looked at the source of the sound.
The light-emitting creatures in the water were quietly suspended, as if the sound just now was his hallucination.
Li Yu frowned, "Su Yi, is that you?"
The scattered luminous creatures suddenly dispersed, leaving a huge circle on the sea directly opposite the youth.
The white-haired priest holding a staff, whom he had only seen in live events, appeared in Li Yu's field of vision again.
In the hands of the priest, he held a simple golden crown without any gemstone decoration.
Steady footsteps came from behind, Li Yu turned to look behind, and a man came from a distance holding a wooden box.
On the outside of the box, there is a totem that looks exactly like a man.
001 stopped in front of the young man and opened the box. The crown inside was smooth and exquisitely polished. The crown was inlaid with a pink gem made of a dove egg.
The gems are unpolished, with irregular edges and planes, with a contrasting beauty.
001 pursed his lips, his expression was very serious, all the skin from the tip of the ear to the neck was red, and the fingers holding the wooden box were too tight due to tension, and the joints were white.
Li Yu saw that his nervousness had become a piece of wood, so he leaned over and took advantage of the height of the stone under his feet to kiss the man's forehead.
001 raised his lips, and the emotion in his eyes was so strong that he could drown.
He took out the crown, placed it lightly on the youth's head, kissed his lips and said, "We'll be together forever, won't we?"
Li Yu smiled at him, "Yes."
No matter where they are, no matter how long it takes, they will meet again, know each other, and love each other again.
Reality and illusion are nothing but floating clouds and bubbles, and everything that blocks them will be overcome.
001 became the youngest lord in the mermaid group, but his lifespan was the shortest.
On the day Li Yu's life ended, he found the priest and used the rest of his life for the possibility of meeting again in the next life.
The priest said that it was just a legend, and no one knew whether it was true or not.
001 is very stubborn, and he is willing to fake it. How lonely it is to walk alone, and there is no one to rely on when he is tired. He is reluctant to let the youth live alone in another cold world.
The priest agreed, using the oldest spell, trying to tie the lovers together.
When 001 left, his strength was very weak.
He swam ashore with the young man's body in his arms, returned to the small villa, lay on the bed together, and whispered the story of their past.
Gradually, the man's voice became smaller and slower, and the speed of speech became slower and slower.
In the end, the room fell silent, and he fell asleep and never woke up again.
ββ
When Li Yu woke up, something wet and rough brushed his face.
In his mind, the picture of 001 holding himself and talking without a word before his death was still very clear. He remembered that he said, Su He, walk slowly, slow down, wait for me, okay?
Before Li Yu had time to be sad, the thing rubbed against his face again, he opened his eyes suddenly, and sat up with his body up.
In front of him, a big pure black dog was licking his face hard.
Seeing the young man wake up, thinking that he had received a response, the big black dog became more and more cheerful, put his front legs on the human body, and stuck his tongue out again.
The owner of the big black dog looked anxious, and dragged back with both hands around the pet's neck.
He kept asking, "Sir, are you alright?"
As soon as the voice fell, another voice sounded again.
The minister hurried over from the other side of the road, sweating profusely, "How are you, Xiao Li, can you get up? I'll call an ambulance right away."
Having just experienced a world, and faced with the noisy reality, Li Yu's mind was a little confused.
It took a long time to react. Before crossing the road, just after breaking up with the minister and crossing the road, he was suddenly thrown to the ground by a large black dog and knocked on the back of the head.
From the time he crossed over to when he woke up, only a minute or so had passed in the central city.
"I'm fine." Li Yu touched the back of his head, luckily, except for a little pain, he didn't lift the bag or break it.
The minister shouted at the owner of the black dog with a dark face, "What the hell is going on with you? It is expressly stipulated in the city that any dog ββmust wear a dog leash when going out!"
The owner of the black dog grimaced, "Sir, I really didn't do it on purpose. I opened a shop in front of me, and if one didn't watch, he slipped through the crack of the door himself."
The minister can't control that much. "You wait and talk to the public security center."
The big black dog, who was hugged by the owner's neck, was still wagging its tail and sticking its tongue out at Li Yu, unaware that he had caused a big disaster.
Li Yu had already stood up from the ground and slapped the dust on his body.
Seeing the big black dog grinning like he was smiling, he hesitated, stretched out his hand, and placed it on the furry dog's head.
The large black dog sat down obediently, the corners of his mouth widened, and he desperately used his head to touch the palm of the young man's hand, and his tail was like a small broom, sweeping across the ground.
The owner of the pet dog was very embarrassed, "I'm really sorry sir, I'll take you to the hospital for examination right away."
Li Yu withdrew his hand, "No need."
He looked at the worried minister and said again, "I'm really fine."
The minister had heard a story before. An old man was hit by a bicycle while walking on the road. At that time, he told the owner of the car very open-mindedly that he was fine.
As a result, after returning home, the old man could not sleep.
The autopsy showed that the cause of death of the old man was that the congestion was oppressing the cranial nerves.
The minister was afraid that the young man would also have a seizure after the incident, so he directly called an ambulance regardless of whether the other party was willing or not.
Li Yu was forced to go to the hospital for a walk. The test results showed that his body was healthier than ordinary people, especially his brain activity was abnormally active.
The minister was relieved and personally sent the youth to his home.
Standing under the old building, he frowned, "You live here? There are still places in the dormitory of the Administration. I can help you apply."
Li Yu smiled and said no, "I'm used to living alone."
Seeing that the other party was telling the truth, the minister no longer discouraged him, "As you go, go upstairs."
Li Yu nodded and didn't turn around immediately, "I forgot to tell you something, I just passed through again."
minister,"β¦β¦"
He was stunned for a long time, then smiled dryly, "Then how are you now?"
"Very good." Li Yu was exhausted and a little sleepy, he said, "Can I submit the report again tomorrow?"
The minister thought for a moment, "In this way, take a day off tomorrow and go to the bureau the day after tomorrow."
Li Yu could not ask for one more day of paralysis at home, but he couldn't be too happy.
He hesitated, but finally said hello with a reluctant expression on his face.
The minister felt relieved in his heart that there are not many employees who love their work so much these days.
Don't say that this person was named and looked after, even if not, this kind of employee must be well cared for.
Li Yu returned home, lay down on the sofa, and raised his hand inexplicably.
Different.
Since when did some things become different.
"1551, I want to have a dog, you know?"
"I know." 1551 always knew that the host's dream was to have a house facing the sea with a silly dog ββin the house.
Now, let's add one more.
There must be a man in the house.
"Do you know why?" Li Yu clenched his hand into a fist and pressed his fingertips against his palm, as if the fluffy touch was still there.
1551, "Why?"
Li Yu, "Because they are always far away from me. From childhood to adulthood, whether animals or people, they don't like to approach me very much."
"But that dog is very enthusiastic about you today." 1551 felt strange that the dog was lying on the host and couldn't even pull it up.
Li Yu lowered his hand, closed his eyes, and said softly, "So is it me that has changed, or is the problem with the dog?"
1551, "Maybe both."
