Chapter 8: The Death of the Merfolk

As Hyde said that day, before World War I, a group of extreme scientists in the city of L in country B were doing a terrible experiment. At that time, a priest in the Whitechapel was searching for miracles and found an extremely rare fossil called "the blood of Jesus". It is said to be a fossil congealed from the blood left behind by Jesus' crucifixion.

In order to study this fossil, he summoned some radical scientists known to the church. And for these scientists, they have always had a theory about the resurrection of Jesus. That is, he probably has a different, even unflawed, powerful gene in his blood. Therefore, this fossil may be the key to eternal life!

At that time, there were also some of these scientists who were leaders in the field of medicine. Their original intention was to heal all ailments. and formed an organization with purpose and scale, which they privately called the "posterity organization", which means to benefit future generations. But as the organization grew, all research became more and more extreme.

From the beginning of academic research, I gradually extended my hand to human research. And their attachment to this eternal life led them to reach out to some innocent and pitiful people at that time.......

Beginning in 1880, they first used deception or kidnapping to catch homeless people as experimenters, which could have escaped the eyes of the people of the society at that time. Unfortunately, the experiment failed repeatedly due to the rejection of the fossil's genes. Researchers from the "Afterlife Organization" also tried to mix the genes of various organisms and inject them into the experimenter's body in the genes extracted from fossils, hoping to make up for the lack of genes.

Unfortunately, the experiment was still unsuccessful, and the homeless people who were captured died one after another.....

Until one day, there was a "ronin" from a foreign country among them, this ronin traveled all over the world, had some knowledge, and he was also very accomplished in science and religion, and he proposed a theory to these people.

In his opinion, the blood of Jesus had the ability to bring the dead back to life probably from his mother, the Virgin Mary, so he proposed that the experiment should be applied to the embryo that had not yet been born, that is, the pregnant woman!

These people also believe that the fetus is under the protection of the mother's womb. Perhaps there was a possibility of repairing the genetic defect, so they immediately stopped experimenting with homeless people and began to think about pregnant women.

But at that time, in country B, women with a little status were not easy to be taken away under the eyes of the world without being discovered, but it was the female branch girls on the street in country B who were easier to start. They have a humble status, and they are forced by the backward living and conditions of receiving customers, and often need to find some low-cost black clinics to save themselves. At that time, there were always women who were desperate and needed to find someone to help them dispose of the unexpected child in their wombs.

And this played into the hands of the people, who lured the woman they had been, to an underground settlement near the White Church, imprisoned them, and waited for the birth of their child while experimenting...... But this time they didn't get what they wanted. In each experiment, the fetus in the womb of a pregnant woman was stillborn before three months. And in order to cover up their crimes, and to study the dead fetuses, they killed the poor women, removed their internal organs and fetuses, and left the bodies on the side of the road like garbage......

At first, all this did not attract everyone's attention, it should be said that no one cares about the life or death of those inferior. But the successive murders also caused the entire L city to slowly fall into panic, and even attracted the attention of the church.

The church began to get involved in the rectification of this "later organization", they drove out the "ronin" with bad ideas, stopped all inhumane experiments, and this organization stopped killing, and the last murder of the ripper that spread throughout the future coincided..... so Jack the Ripper is still unsolved to this day!

However, the "Later Organizations" did not give up the research, and their research objects were more explicit, and even escalated to find women who volunteered to be their experimenters, and they wanted to use artificial embryos to carry out this experiment. And they did find a woman who volunteered to be the experimenter.

They were the nuns in some churches at that time who were willing to sacrifice themselves for God and even give birth to God's children. They experimented with embryos of various races and species on 20 nuns, combined with genes on fossils, and waited for the birth of a baby.

This time, the 20 nuns successfully gave birth to five 20 babies. Strangely, all the boys died, while the girls survived, and only six girls survived.

The death of the baby boy, as well as the artificial embryo and other practices, caused great controversy and opposition from the church and the nuns, and the nuns began to realize that they had been deceived, believing that the number 6 was the number of the devil, and those dead baby boys were the souls taken away by the devil. And creating new life is not something that humans should touch. What scared them even more was that the six baby girls had encountered a water mutant and did not look human.

They mobilized the church to completely eliminate and suppress a "later generation organization" in the name of a cult..... which lasted for six years, the girls grew up, and at this time the First World War really started, the nuns turned the attention of the later generation organization to these children, and they thought that these children were sent by the devil and would bring disaster to the world, so they put 6 girls into the sea.....

"Put it back in the sea? What do you mean? Free captive animals? Listening to her tell this terrible story, he didn't know whether to believe it or not.

She smiled bitterly: "Originally, I was going to burn them, but some of them couldn't bear to raise children for six years, and they couldn't bear it because of the biological mother who gave birth to six children..... so they secretly put them into the sea....let them fend for themselves.....

He knew that her wry smile was a mockery of the mothers who had hidden their ears and stolen the bells, the nuns who had thrown their children into the sea. They don't know if their children will survive or not, so they are just asking for their own psychological comfort.

How many living beings have been hurt by human ignorance, superstition, and self-hypnosis, perhaps the war was not brought about by the six girls, but by those who wantonly inflicted atrocities on others, which attracted the wrath of the heavens.

"The nuns call these girls shark daughters, meaning girls who live viciously like sharks, and my mother is one of the six girls, and the body in the tent is the child who was born with my mother..... She finally finished the story, patted the dust off her body and got up and walked forward.

"How is this possible! Then your mother can't be more than 120 years old? He asked incredulously as he chased after him. The First World War has a history of more than 100 years now, how is it possible! And what about her?

She heard his surprise: "Although we are not the most perfect genes, we are afraid of direct sunlight, which can easily dehydrate and dry our skin. Especially after death, just like the corpse, it loses the vitality balance of its cells, and the sunlight will make the corpse turn into ashes and disappear. “

"But the other genes of the shark girl are almost perfect, and the healing ability is very fast. At the age of 18 to 20, we will no longer age after the growth genes are basically fixed, we can live a life in the waterway amphibious to obtain enough nutrients, the benign movement of genes is constantly transformed, and the color of the scales changes every 10 years so that we can stay young forever...."

Suddenly, her back looked a little lonely: "You may not understand this, but do you know?.It turns out that God has left you alone, but you have been lonely very completely, my mother is the only one of these 6 girls who can have children, but when she and my human father gave birth to me, she was 99 years old. From then on, she began to age rapidly, until she died when I was 6 years old..... and my father died of illness in the same year....."

He didn't know what to say at this point, but he felt that maybe life really had balance, and her shoulders looked so weak at this time, and he reached out to comfort her.

She stopped suddenly: "I've searched all over the world all these years and haven't found shark girls like me and my mother, I think they may all be dead?" Turned to ashes and disappeared completely....."

Her lonely look distressed him, and she looked at him with tears in her eyes: "So, you have to protect me, I may be the only one in my species!" It's a super national treasure, and I'm only 29 years old this year! I'm still a kid~"

suddenly said a joke, which made Hua Ge suddenly feel that he was worried about this woman in vain. But at this time, this woman seemed to be more real than the others he had met, she was so vibrant, so beautiful.....

..... walked slowly back with the night rain...... He sheltered her from the rain, listened to her tell her legendary stories, and watched her sometimes humorously talk about herself as a child, and sometimes talk about genetics that he didn't understand. He was thinking in his heart what she said, maybe God will make you lonely, and it will make you completely lonely. God cruelly gave them eternal life, so that they watched the departure of their beloved again and again, and they were alone......
