"It's always dark here, you can't see the sky, you can't breathe the smell of the sea. The little girl held the book in her arms and fell asleep slowly, with tears in the corners of her eyes. In her dreams, no one knows if there will be a taste of the sea.

Time passed bit by bit, the little girl curled up, in the corner of the wall, the book in her arms slowly slid down, it was a dilapidated fairy tale, and the title of "The Daughter of the Sea" could still be seen in the blur. In the darkness, the fairy tale that slowly slipped fell to the ground, waking up the girl in the dark. She opened her sleepy eyes, and once again picked up the fairy tale on the ground, the book that had been torn to pieces, and even torn off many pages, but the only one that was well preserved was this page "The Daughter of the Sea", which the girl had read countless times.

"In the depths of the vast sea, there is a kingdom of fish......" The girl picked up the fairy tale book and read it gently, in the darkness, only from the outside of the room would a glimmer of light leak out, very soft and dim.

"The sea...... What is it?" the girl fell silent in the dark.

There is not a single sound, her world, has always been like this.

Footsteps in the distance were getting closer, and the girl hid the fairy tale book behind her back, a gift from her sister.

The last gift.

The footsteps in the distance got closer and closer, stopping in front of the door.

"No. 0737, hurry up!" With a cold voice, the door was opened, and a white light shone in, and the girl covered her eyes, and she didn't dare to look at the sudden light.

"Hurry up for me before you die!" came in a middle-aged man about forty years old, seeing the girl curled up in the corner, covering her eyes, he was a little impatient, and grabbed the girl's thin arm, "Hurry up and come out for me." ”

The girl was dragged out, the fairy tale book fell to the ground, she screamed softly, reflexively wanted to pick it up, but was pulled out, and at the end of the light, a worn-out fairy tale book, lying there quietly. 、

The girl struggled, but did not break free, she did not make a sound, did not cry, just quietly looked at her fairy tale book, slowly stretched out her hand, but farther and farther away.

......

"Your mission today is to transform these things!" the girl was taken to a closed room and looked at a small box in front of her, filled with a silver liquid. The girl did not speak, but put her hands in the silver liquid.

"It takes an estimated three hours to convert 57 kilograms of mercury today. A few people behind him sat in front of the computer and began to record something. "Let's start analyzing. The girl closed her eyes, she slowly raised her hand, and placed her palm on the liquid surface, filling a box of mercury. When her hand pressed against the liquid, the mercury seemed to dim.

The girl closed her eyes and stood there quietly, time passed little by little, she just stood quietly, half an hour later, she opened her eyes, shook her head slightly, and left her hands on the liquid surface, "Too much." ”

"You don't have the right to speak, hurry up, or you won't have anything to eat today. The middle-aged man behind him snorted coldly, the girl's body shrank slightly, and once again put her hand on the liquid surface. Time passed slowly, the girl's breathing gradually became heavy, cold sweat flowed from her forehead, her thin body began to tremble, it had been almost three hours, she stood here quietly like this, a full three hours.

The girl opened her eyes slightly, everything in front of her was already blurry, she raised her hand, gently wiped her nose, and found that it was already full of blood.

The girl took a step back, everything in front of her was not clear, she felt herself fall to the ground, cold ground, still very hard.

"The conversion rate is ninety-four percent, damn it, I didn't complete the task, hey, why are you pretending to be dead?" The middle-aged man looked at the girl who fell to the ground, and was about to kick her when he raised his foot, but was stopped by a person behind him, "Don't kick her to death, who will transform this if you kick her to death?"

"Damn! There is so much less, how can I explain it?" the middle-aged man said angrily, "This is at least two million merit points." ”

"Forget it, let's react truthfully, No. 0737's capabilities are currently at their limit. ”

"Hmph!" the middle-aged man snorted coldly, "Lift it down!" As if he didn't want to see the girl again, he turned around and walked to the small box in front of him, "Harvest one hundred and thirty-two grams of dark matter metal." ”

......

"Am I dead?" the girl woke up from her sleep, raised her hand and touched her side, and beside the almost moldy bed, she touched the worn-out fairy tale book, and there was a small plate in the doorway, and the girl crept over, and in the plate was food, a piece of bread, a roasted sausage, a glass of milk, and a piece of pudding.

Maybe I worked hard today to reward myself.

The girl snorted twice, hid in the corner with the food, and opened the fairy tale in her hand, "In the depths of the vast sea, there is a kingdom of fish......

"If I could, I would trade all my life for one day of freedom. The girl looked at the fairy tale, "even if it ends up in foam." ”

The mermaid in the fairy tale is what the girl has always longed for, but what she yearns for, not the prince, but the sea.

"Turn off the lights! turn off the lights!" came the sound of footsteps in the hallway, and the harsh shouts came from the girl, hiding her book under the bed, and after eating her dinner, she lay down on the bed, "I really want to take a shower." ”

Tomorrow is Life Day, the so-called Life Day, where all the children in this institute gather together, take a bath, receive a change of clothes, sheets, and so on. If you're lucky, you'll even get some books.

There was also a scolding voice outside, "Is that kid really dead today? It's a pity, but it's so dangerous, it almost demolished our research institute, and it is said that the entire research institute is damaged today." The girl listened quietly as the voice faded away, her eyes remaining on the corner of the fairy tale book by her pillow.

The children of the institute are required to be educated, at least to know the written word, but the way they are taught here is very inhumane.

The woman touched her head, and there was a piece of hair on her head that had fallen out a little, revealing her scalp with obvious burn marks. People here use the equipment of the institute to forcibly instill knowledge, and many children burn out their brains and become a little abnormal.

Lying on her bed, the girl couldn't sleep, her head still hurt, was it an overuse of her abilities?

But in this institute, there should be no light.

The girl looked ahead, her eyes following the source of the light, where a crack had somehow opened in the wall.

Was it the accident today?" thought to the girl, and she got up and climbed onto the ground where the light struck, and it was a silver glow, more beautiful than any light the girl had ever seen.

Looking up, following the place where the light shone in, the silver light turned into a silver light in the darkness, and the girl quietly looked at the light in front of her, a quiet and serene light.

"Is this the light of nature?" asked the girl, and no one answered her, and she raised her hand and stretched out her hand slowly in the light, as if she wanted to hold the light, which seemed to her as if she could hold it for herself.

That night, the girl did not sleep all night, she sat quietly in the corner, looking at the cracks in the wall until the light in the aisle came on.

......

"This is number 0737. When the staff brought a little girl to themselves, Nanfeng came back to his senses. He glanced at the little girl in front of him, skinny, pale, and his eyes were full of death. Nanfeng sighed: "This child will not live long. ”

"Her abilities are rare, and the above don't want her to die like this, and arrange for you to take care of her. The woman in white handed over the little girl to herself, Nanfeng looked at the little girl in front of her, five or six years old, there was no emotion in her eyes, if she wasn't standing in front of him, he didn't even know if the little girl in front of him was alive. "I see, leave it to me. ”

Only Nanfeng and the little girl were left in the room, looking at the girl in front of him, Nanfeng didn't know what to say, he had dedicated his life to scientific research and had no children.

"If it were a normal person, at my age, I should have a granddaughter of this age. Nanfeng thought for a moment, then shook his head, the girl in front of him was not like a normal girl.

And he doesn't know how to deal with little girls.

How to communicate is a problem, and the guy in front of him obviously won't take the initiative to speak. Seeing the girl's gaze without the slightest emotion, Nanfeng felt that his head hurt.

Nanfeng raised his hand and wanted to touch the little girl's head, but froze halfway through, "Maybe she doesn't understand the meaning of this move." The girl in front of her didn't have a little gleam in her eyes, she just looked at herself, that's all.

Nanfeng felt that he had encountered the hardest problem since he went to school: "How to talk to someone who is 'dead'." ”

Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly, "What's your name...... Halfway through his sermon, Nanfeng was stunned, "This kid doesn't have a name, right?"

Can't even find a topic?

Nanfeng gave up, shook his head and sighed: "I understand the basic situation, if you have a chance, I'll take you out to have a look." Just say a word or two to pass it away, Professor Nanfeng thought to himself, anyway, this girl is already "dead" to some extent.

After speaking, he was about to leave, and at this moment, a small hand grabbed the corner of his clothes!

Nanfeng was stunned for a moment, and the girl in front of her had an inexplicable look in her eyes, she looked at herself, her eyes were not like death, and then, she spoke, in jerky language, "Bring ...... Show me...... The sea ......"

......

Nanfeng never thought that he would one day have a "granddaughter".

Until he met this little girl, that day, when he saw the girl's residence, he immediately asked for the girl to be changed to his own residence. Although it was not approved, fortunately, the girl was given a new place to live.

The girl's physical condition was very bad, and Nanfeng felt that he should take care of her for a moment, so he simply moved to the institute himself and lived next door to the little girl.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that this stay would be seven years.

......

"You should have a name. Nanfeng held the girl in his arms, "Everyone should have a name." ”

The girl's eyes were no longer as silent as death, but with a hint of brilliance.

Finally, three months after the arrival of the south wind, the girl's face showed a smile for the first time, and it was a stiff smile, as if the corners of her mouth were being tugged.

Even so, Nanfeng was very happy, she picked up the girl, touched her little head, and said, "You should have a name." ”

"You are an angel from heaven. Nanfeng said meaningfully, "Then, I named you Angel, which means angel, and you are my angel!"
