Before Ji Mingjiang could react from the last rare tenderness of the system, an iron box pulled by a rope above his head, an iron box he had never seen before, slowly fell in front of him.

He walked around the box.

The lower part of the box is silver-gray, and the upper part is transparent glass. If you look through the glass, you can find that the inside of the box is basically equipped with anti-collision materials, as if some fragile creature capture box was temporarily used on himup.

Ji Mingjiang was not in a hurry to drill in, he swam up to the bottom of the ship along the rope.

A mermaid head popped out of the originally calm water.

The silver-white hair was spread on the water, and the mermaid's clear black pupils looked warily at the people in white coats on the boat, and their ear fins fluttered slightly.

"It's really a mermaid!"

"This mermaid looks different from those little guys in the center, is it a wild mermaid?"

"I don't know, let's find a way to bring him back first, I don't know how he came here by himself, it's too dangerous..."

"Is he afraid of us, should we stay away from him?"

Ji Mingjiang automatically filtered out those chirping voices, since he couldn't understand them anyway.He looked up and down the huge ship in front of him, feeling a little surprised.

I don't know if it's because the level of technological development in the interstellar world is too high or for other reasons, but the big guy in front of him is not so much a giant ship as an aircraft carrier.

The huge and spacious deck is estimated to hold several planes.

"Hey! Can the little guy hear us?" Wu Yuan and the others discussed there for a long time, only to find that the mermaid was still standing there, watching them quietly.

This calm gesture made Wu Yuan reflect on his bluffing behavior just now, and he was a little amazed.

If it was the mermaids in their center, after seeing so many strangers and this giant made of steel, they would probably have started to look for their own breeders with tears in their eyes, and if they couldn't find them, they would start to go into shock like a stress, how could he watch in place so calmly.

Seeing that the mermaid in front of him not only didn't leave after hearing his call, but raised his head slightly and beckoned at him, Wu Yuan was stunned for a moment.

It is reasonable to say that mermaids cannot understand human language. After a long period of nurturing and care, most mermaids can only interpret the behavior of people close to them and respond.

This mermaid is really different...

Thinking of this, Wu Yuan prevented his companion from going directly into the water to carry the mermaid onto the boat.

He reached out and tugged at the rope connected to the capture box, pointed to the sea, and tentatively said to the mermaid, "Can you go in? We won't hurt you, we just want to take you to a safer place."

After repeating it several times, someone beside him said impatiently: "Okay, Wu Yuan, what are you crazy about, and you even started talking to this mermaid you just met. Hurry up and bring him here, so that you don't have to worry about it."Whatever happens, we will be held accountable.”

As soon as the words fell, Thain heard Wu Yuan suddenly exclaimed.

His heart tightened, thinking that the mermaid ran away during this time, and just about to scold Wu Yuan, when he hurriedly turned his head, he saw that the mermaid seemed to understand Wu Yuan's words, and also pointed to the water,Then it jumped up suddenly, head and tail switched directions in the air and then swam towards the capture box.

When the mermaid jumped out of the water, it brought a string of water splashes, and the sunlight shone through the water splashes on the tail of the fish, dazzling.

"Sion, what did you just say?" Wu Yuan, who recovered from the shocking scene and was so focused on the mermaid just now and didn't hear what the people around him said, asked suspiciously.

"...I didn't say anything." Thain said aggrievedly.

Also standing on the deck, Carrie, who had a panoramic view of the one-sided conflict between the two just now, chuckled and took the initiative to change the subject.

"This mermaid looks very healthy, maybe I will meet a suitable match soon."

"Indeed, have you noticed his size when he jumped up just now, and he feels stronger than most mermaids."

"And he looks great too! I really like his smooth white hair!"

"By the way, what do you think is the probability that His Majesty will become his match...?"

"..."

There was a sudden silence on the deck.

With the appearance of this sentence, the topic that had just started ended hastily.

The conversations of the people above the head reached Ji Mingjiang's ears along the water waves. As he dived, he set aside his attention to catch those strange notes.

After realizing that these people in front of him had no malice towards him, Ji Mingjiang decided to integrate into human society through this group of people.

Since he chose to return to human society instead of going to other sea areas to continue living in the ocean, learning the lingua franca of the current society has become the most important thing, and everything else can be left behind.

The capture box was not far from the water surface, and after diving a few hundred meters, Ji Mingjiang saw the silver-gray iron box.

As soon as his fingers touched the top cover of the box, he didn't know whether it was someone operating it or the design of the box itself. The glass top quickly disappeared before his eyes, and the seawater soon filled the entire space.

"?"

Ji Mingjiang reached out his hand in confusion and touched the four walls of the box. It was very thin, and it didn't look like it could hold a glass plate at all.

Not to mention that the glass plate disappeared suddenly, not sliding around.

So this material is not glass?

"As expected of the interstellar society, such a high-tech thing can be used in a capture box." Muttering in surprise, Ji Mingjiang stuffed himself into the box.

The reason why he used the word stuffed was because the box was a bit too narrow for him, and after he curled himself up into it, the seawater in the box was not much squeezed.

A few days ago, was still wantonly slapping the shark's tail on the bottom of the sea. How can bear this anger? The only tail fin that can move freely in the corner crazily whipped the bottom of the box regardless of the brain's stop.If it wasn't for the limited space and the small range of activities, he would have smashed the box.

Ji Mingjiang hastily stretched out his hand to hold down his ready-to-move tail, and the top of the box closed again at some point, but it didn't give him the feeling of being airtight.

He patted the wall of the box, indicating that the people on the boat could pull him up.

"There's movement, there's movement! Let's see if he really went in." Feeling the vibration of the rope in his hand, Wu Yuan greeted quickly.

Seeing that there was no mermaid in the clear water and that there was weight in the box below, Wu Yuan started the machine, and the heavy silver box was slowly pulled onto the deck.

"Huh—" Wu Yuan pulled the box to the middle, and let out a sigh of relief, why did he feel that the box was so heavy this time.

"Sister Li, have you notified the parenting center? Remember to ask them to bring a translator."

Because of the language barrier, but mermaids are very important creatures to them, the United Imperial Research Institute at the parenting center has launched a mermaid-specific translator, which is still in the trial promotion stage.

Other creatures don't have this kind of trouble, after all, the empire already has a universal animal language translator.

Although affected by the characteristics of the mermaid's voice, most of the words cannot be translated, but some basic words such as "Don't be afraid", "I'll help you", and "Eat" are still no problem.This machine is of great help when taking care of the mermaid's daily life.

"We informed you as soon as we discovered it, and the director is on his way."

Carrie glanced at the latest message from the director, "They're almost here."

She squatted down and looked at the mermaid in the box, and said softly, "I'll take you to a safe place soon, don't be afraid of being wronged for a while."

The merman looked at him and blinked, and then Kari observed that his muscles seemed to relax a little, and he showed curiosity about the surrounding environment.

"No stress, that's great, she's a very strong mermaid." Carrie breathed a sigh of relief, and said to her colleagues with a smile.

Ji Mingjiang's tail fin had gradually calmed down, so he withdrew his hand, adjusted a state that made him as comfortable as possible, and observed the outside world through the transparent unknown material.

A woman in a white coat walked by the box and said something to him. Ji Mingjiang couldn't understand, but he didn't feel any negative emotions and let her go.

When he observed his surroundings, Ji Mingjiang realized that he was actually near the sea, only a few nautical miles away from the shore, and he could even clearly see the buildings on land.

It feels no different from the era he was in, high-rise buildings with reinforced concrete...

and many more!What is flying in his direction?!

Pupil Earthquake.jpg

Ji Mingjiang's eyes were fixed on the thing floating in mid-air.

Is this a hovercar or a starship?Ji Mingjiang recalled the novels with an interstellar background that he had read before, and found two words from his mind that could barely match the thing in front of him.

The strange flying machine got closer and closer to them, and then landed on the spacious deck under the watchful eyes of Ji Mingjiang.

The door was pushed open from the inside, and a little pudgy old man jumped out, followed by several tall guards who couldn't catch up to him.

"Where is the mermaid?" The wind on the sea was a bit strong, and Odos wrapped his white coat tightly and came to Ji Mingjiang in a hurry.

After seeing Ji Mingjiang who was quietly staying in the box, he looked it over carefully and heaved a sigh of relief.

"The hair tail and skin are in good condition, and there are no obvious injuries on the body. It seems to be a healthy child so far. Let's open the top of the box first."

After feeling that the obstacle above his head disappeared, Ji Mingjiang saw the little old man approaching him cautiously, and took out something like an earbud for him to put on.

After stretching his ears cooperatively, the little old man's eyes lit up obviously.

While debugging the machine, Odos did not forget to look at the group of people standing on the deck with his scrutiny. He was always gentle and asked seriously, "You didn't threaten him, did you?"

Don't blame him for thinking too much, he has lived for so long, and has personally taken care of more than a dozen mermaids.

It's hard not to wonder if this mermaid has been intimidated before suppressing her nature.

Wu Yuan and the others immediately shook their heads like rattles.Just kidding, if they dare to do anything to the mermaid, they don't have to wait for the prosecution of the mermaid. Fans and potential matches of the mermaid race can tear them apart.

"Everyone will submit a report when we go back." With a glance back, Odos put the debugged translator on his ear.

After patiently waiting for the sizzle to disappear, Ji Mingjiang finally heard the first human words in sixteen days.

After a few simple questions and answers, most of Odos just made Ji Mingjiang nod and shake his head. After all, mermaids don't like talking very much.

He finally asked: "Would you like to live in another place with us? There will be many of your kind there, and they will all live well."

Hearing this, Ji Mingjiang's eyes lit up.If there are other mermaids, can he continue to practice his skills?It's not bad, does it mean that there are many escorts there?

There is such a good thing!

Ji Mingjiang nodded hastily, and when he saw Odos about to take off the earbuds, he remembered the stuffy feeling just now, and asked tentatively, "Can you close the lid? It's boring."

He also wanted to know what the mermaid's status was like here. Although they didn't feel negative emotions, most people in their previous lives didn't have any negative emotions towards pets like cats and dogs.

A request that might put them in danger, but is manageable, is a good way to test out the merfolk's place in society.

After waiting for a few seconds, Ji Mingjiang wondered if the earbuds were broken, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Odos's shocked expression.

The author has something to say:

The nature of mermaids in Odos' eyes: timid, coquettish, and if they say a word more, the fish will be forced to cry

In Ji Mingjiang's eyes, the mermaid's nature: Come one to fight, one to fight, two to fight one pair, if you don't move for a day, you will feel tired.

Big misunderstanding!
