When it comes to the topic of human evolution, that's going too far. What I really want to hear is Aishan's contract with the Lord of the Sharks, and what kind of promise the Lord of the Sharks has given him.

Those who can fight the water once will be followed by a second, third, fourth, or even infinite number of times. Now, Aishan is in such a situation. Of course, Mrs. Hong will not really trust him, but a delaying tactic.

"Hopefully, the Lord of the Sharks can solve your big trouble, but for now, it seems that you may need more help, such as—" I pointed to my temple, signaling that something was wrong with his brain.

"I can, I can, I will live, overcome the disease, and rebuild my glory. Aishan muttered.

Everyone who is terminally ill wants to be able to start from scratch and be a new version of themselves. However, most people's dreams will eventually be shattered, and they will fall under the Nine Springs with full regret.

"Tell me, how are you going to help Madame Hong, lead a team to exterminate the nest of the sharks in the East China Sea, or do you want to go into danger alone and assassinate the lord of the sharks?" I asked.

Ai Shan shook his head vigorously: "I don't have to do anything, just wait here." Madame said that when all the Sino-American thaumaturgists gathered, I would be in charge of screening them and picking out those who had been bewitched by the Lord of the Mermen. ”

The plan was unexpected, but it made sense. Since the Lord of the Sharks can bewitch Aishan, he will definitely be able to tempt others in various ways, so that some thaumaturgists who are not strong enough will work for him. If Ai Shan can do this, it will really be a great help to Mrs. Hong.

"Okay, then I wish you success in advance!" I said, holding up my coffee cup.

As long as it is beneficial to the dragon group, it must be bad for the lord of the merman. The more things like this, the greater our advantage will be.

"The first one, I'm going to identify you......" Aishan grinned grimly. His appearance was already very hateful, and with this kind of lowly expression, I was secretly disgusted.

"Mr. Ai, I'm not in the mood to joke with you, I'm out of company. I stood up.

Aishan waved his hand violently, and four gunmen flashed out of the entrance of the restaurant, and they quickly ran over and surrounded me from all sides.

"Take off his shirt, if I don't misjudge, he has the merman vision on both shoulders and in the center of his spine. The merman calls himself the 'Five-Eyed Heavenly Demon', looking in front with two eyes, left and right, and behind with one eye, and can come and go freely between all dangers, without fear of disaster. Now, let's take a look at whether this summer Mr. Shi also has these three divine eyes tattooed on his body?" Ai Shan said.

He looked very proud, like a fox who had successfully stolen chickens.

I'm sure I don't have a tattoo like that, but I don't want to take off my shirt under the threat of the gunman, and then I will lose face.

"Mr. Ai, I don't have a tattoo on my body, if you don't believe me, let's go to the room to check. However, I will have to see the evidence that Madame Hung instructed you to act. I said.

Aishan was not interested, thinking that I was afraid, and immediately coughed: "Take it off!"

As soon as the four gunmen approached, they suddenly fell to the ground, not even touching my clothes. Even so, I was in front of Mrs. Hong, I didn't really get angry, let alone hurt people with heavy hands, just knocked down, and there was no internal injury.

"Mr. Ai, let's go, go to Madame. I said.

Ai Shan was stunned, and immediately nodded: "Okay, go to Madame's place and see if you have anything else to say?"

We left the terrace and went straight to Mrs. Hong's room.

Mrs. Hong had already gotten up and was drinking tea in the living room.

"Madam, I have already found out the person who has something to do with the Lord of the Merman, that is, Summer Stone. Aishan preemptively reported.

I don't want to say more in front of Mrs. Hong, as long as I take off my shirt, I can resist all of Aishan's accusations. Now, I have to confirm that the monitors under the table on the terrace were all installed by Mrs. Hong, and besides, I must know what Mrs. Hong is suspicious of.

"Really?" said Mrs. Hong, blowing calmly on the tea leaves floating in the tea bowl.

"Yes, I promise, in the summer, there are tattoos of the Shark's Eye on the shoulders and on the back. I never trusted my eyes, only my nose. I can smell the scent of the merman, a hundred steps apart, one smell at a time. Aishan replied.

I sneered: "Mr. Ai, your nose is so sensitive, then please smell it, what kind of tea is Madame drinking?"

Aishan twitched his nose vigorously, but he couldn't answer, and the expression on his face was very embarrassed.

"I can't even smell the fragrance of Fujian Fuding white tea, and you still praise yourself for your sensitive nose? You are earnest, I can understand, but don't bite others indiscriminately, if you don't get it right, if someone knocks out a mouthful of teeth, it's light, and then you accidentally lose your life, then it's boring!" I said lightly.

Mrs. Hong smiled: "Mr. Xia, the cup is indeed a freshly brewed Fuding first-class white tea, you sit down for a while, and I will let the next person make another cup." ”

I sat down on the couch next to me and hung Aishan there.

Regarding the merman's eye tattoo, that is just a legend, and there is no accurate basis. Maybe some people have tattoos like that, but they definitely don't include me.

A waitress lowered her head brought tea and placed it on the coffee table next to me.

"Say, go on, Mr. Ai. I reminded loudly.

Ai Shan looked at me, and then at Mrs. Hong, his lips trembled, and he had nothing to say.

"Aishan, you said that Mr. Xia has a tattoo on his back, if he takes off his clothes and can't see the tattoo, how do you explain it?" asked Mrs. Hong.

Ai Shan thought for a moment and gritted his teeth: "I conclude that he has it, 100% sure." When I met the Lord of the Mermen, the smell of the man was absolutely the same as that on the summer stone. ”

The waitress who delivered the tea couldn't help but hide her mouth and snicker, probably laughing at the smell on my body. The Lord of the Shark is half-human and half-fish, and the smell on his body is mostly the smell of the sea, which is not good. If a person has a fishy smell on their body but is not a fisherman, then it is embarrassing.

"Really?" asked Mrs. Hong.

Ai Shan was ruthless: "Yes, seriously. If he didn't have a tattoo on his body, I wouldn't want this life, and I would be disposed of with Xia Shi. ”

His situation is actually very pitiful, because he is terminally ill and asks for help from the lord of the merman, and then turns against the water, and takes refuge in Mrs. Hong for his life, and then he testifies against me for meritorious service. If you don't succeed again, there is really no point in living.

"Mr. Xia, what do you see?" Mrs. Hong turned to me.

I slowly raised my hand to unbutton my shirt and shook my head calmly: "If Mr. Ai misjudges, then we will collectively forget about it, and nothing happened just now." If Mr. Ai is still willing to screen out the thaumaturgists among the anti-water aquarantists, then I still raise my hands in agreement. ”

Aishan's "difficulty" made me feel compassion, and deliberately let him go to give him a chance to live. Now, my first enemy is the Lord of the Mermen, and little people like Aishan and the like are not worth being angry at all, and even if I kill him with a snap of my fingers, I will dirty my hands in vain.

"Okay, it's rare for Mr. Xia to be so magnanimous, let's hurry up and verify. Mrs. Hong said.

I took off my shirt and slowly turned around to show my back to Aishan.

The result of the matter is very simple, Aishan can't find the tattoo of the eye of God, and he can't justify himself, so he can only bow down and confess.

I didn't feel sorry for him anymore, slowly got dressed, and walked out of Mrs. Hong's room.

How to deal with Aishan is Mrs. Hong's business, and this is just a trivial matter. Whether Ai Shan is dead or alive in the end is still in the hands of Mrs. Hong.

I went to the semi-circular café on the backside, ordered coffee by myself, and curled up in a leather armchair.

The hidden sound system overhead played Xu Xiaofeng's old songs, crying like a complaint, very mournful.

"Do I have anything to do with the Lord of the Sharks?" Is Ai Shan's words chasing after the wind or making up random fabrications? If he doesn't have any clues, how can he point the finger at me......" I was puzzled, and raised my hand to stroke my shoulder, worried that there really was a merman tattoo there.

In extraordinary times, everyone's psychological endurance has become very fragile, and they don't know when they will suddenly collapse.

As I was musing my coffee in my hand, a roe deer man suddenly walked in, approached quickly, and sat down beside me.

"Oh, Mr. Xia, my surname is Du, Du Zhou, and I am a friend of Mrs. Hong. He quickly introduced himself.

I glanced at his face, and I was sure it was the same face that had been seen at the Round Table of Twelve, sitting on Hu Jizun's right hand side.

"Any advice?" I asked lazily.

"Mr. Xia, I am very familiar with Mr. Hu and Mr. Ai, and some of the inside information is very alarming, I thought maybe Mr. Xia would be interested, so I took the liberty to come and ask. Du Zhou said.

There is no impermeable wall in this world, no businessman is not traitorous, this Du Boat is a profiteer at first glance, and it is the kind that is pervasive.

"What kind of information, and why am I interested?" I asked.

Du Zhou's yellow eyes rolled, and he raised his right hand and stretched out two fingers.

"What do you mean?" I didn't bother to guess, so I just asked.

"Two gold bars. Du replied.

He was really a businessman, and he even had to charge me for asking questions, and he came up with two gold bars, which was really a lion's mouth.

"Let me sum it up, what kind of message is worth two gold bars?" I bowed my head and drank my coffee, and let Du Zhou wait honestly.

I want to know the whole real process of Aishan's meeting with the Lord of the Sharks, but his brain is broken, and he can't understand the essentials.

If Du Zhou is telling the truth, and can really break out useful information, then it will be easier for us to attack the shark lair.

"Two gold bars are already sky-high for ordinary people. For Mr. Xia, it is trivial. I myself feel that such a precious news is already the most loss-making transaction in the world with only two gold bars. If Mr. Xia hesitates and misses the opportunity, then I will sell this secret to someone else?"

I know that the news about the Lord of the Sharks is in high demand. In this mansion, he does not sell to me, but can also sell to Mrs. Hong and Jiali, and even other people with ulterior motives.

"Deal, two gold bars. "I didn't bother to go around in circles, I just agreed.

"Okay, Mr. Xia is happy. With Mr. Xia's reputation, gold bars can be put on the account, and I will reveal the content of the message to you first. Du Zhou said.

Although he was a profiteer, he was honest enough, and immediately explained to me in detail the lengthy process of following Aishan into the merman's lair—

This happened during the period from Christmas to Lunar New Year this year, in the sea area nearly 1,000 kilometers east of Penglai, in addition to him, Ai Shan, and Hu Jizun, there was also a fourth entourage, whose name was Tang Wan.

When I heard the word "Tang Wan", my first reaction was that it was a person with the same name and surname, until it was confirmed repeatedly, and it was confirmed that it was Tang Wan from the Tang Gate, and it was Tang Wan who was trapped in the deep-sea mirror room at the moment, and it was also the girl I was haunted by and dreamed of.

"Tang Wan has been to the merman's lair? Why has she never told me about it? Is she deliberately concealing it, or is she deliberately deceiving? What is her identity? Double agent, multi-faceted agent? Should I trust her? Does she have other intentions when she approaches me......?" At this moment, I thought a lot, but all the questions were very pessimistic, completely subverting the previous view of Tang Wan.

Du Zhou continued, this matter is very bizarre, it seems to be real and illusory, like a fairy and demon story. However, I am well aware that this is the truth.

The leader of the four was Ai Shan, and according to him, before setting off, he had communicated with the Lord of the Sharks, and the meeting place was arranged by the Lord of the Sharks.

Arriving in the sea, they found a submarine without a country number. Someone on board greeted them, and the four of them entered the submarine and headed straight to the bottom of the sea.

Du Zhou only wants to make money, and he is very disgusted by false and empty slogans such as morality in the rivers and lakes, the country and the nation. So, along the way, he was thinking about how to get some treasures from the bottom of the sea and sell them for a high price, so that he could be worthy of this expedition.

Once at their destination, the submarine stopped, and the four of them walked into a palace without a drop of water. According to Du Zhou's judgment, that place is in the deep sea, and I don't know what kind of drainage method was used, but an underwater palace full of oxygen was built, which is very suitable for human survival.

When I heard this, I immediately pointed out that they had arrived not at the palace, but at another large luxury submarine. There is no land under the water, and even aliens, who are hundreds of times ahead of the earthlings in terms of technology, cannot do it.

It was there that Du Zhou and the other four met the so-called Lord of the Sharks, a real normal earthling.

Du Zhou repeatedly emphasized that no matter how you look at it, he is a 100% earthling, and can communicate with the four of them in the earth's language.

Aishan talked about his predicament, and the lord of the merman immediately arranged surgery to clean up Aishan's stubborn illness.

Du Zhou didn't stay with everyone all the time, he found an opportunity and slipped out of the hall, his hands were not idle, and he took a dozen things like night pearls and threw them all in his pocket.

He was convinced that Aishan was the biggest beneficiary of the trip, and that the others were just making wedding clothes for others, and ended up empty-handed and left with nothing left.

While he was looting, there was an earthquake in the hall, and he was knocked to the ground, his forehead hit the pillar, and he instantly passed out.

Du Zhou's strange encounter began in a coma, and when he woke up, he found himself being dragged forward. He didn't struggle, squinting around until he was thrown into a huge, dark cabin.

There were still quite a few people in the cabin, all of them were silent as they watched him being thrown in.

Du Zhou slowly stood up, his eyes adjusting to the dark surroundings, trying to discern the faces of the men. As a big figure in the Asian business scene, he was familiar with the leading figures in some large conglomerates in Asia, Europe, the United States and Africa, and soon discovered that there were at least five vice president-level figures of large consortia lying in the cabin, and the most important one was Na Jing, the chief assistant of the huge rich man on Hong Kong Island.

He and Najing had a relationship at the Sotheby's auction, and they couldn't laugh or cry when they met in the deep cabin at this moment.

So, he hurriedly walked over to greet Najing.

Na Jing was in a very bad state, his eye sockets were deep, his face was dry, and he was rubbed in a high-end suit.

Du Zhou asked, "Sir, why are you here? Have you been kidnapped by pirates?"

Under normal circumstances, pirates attack merchant ships and demand ransom. Hong Kong Island's super-rich people are bold, and Najing is his most powerful subordinate, fighting shopping malls for many years, earning hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars for his shipping company. Therefore, Du Zhou felt that even if the pirates demanded a ransom of more than 100 million, the super-rich would not hesitate to pay the ransom.

Na Jing shook his head: "No, don't ask, it's hard to say." ”

Du Zhou looked around, and everyone hung their heads and was silent.

After his repeated questioning, the nineteen people lying in the cabin spoke their mouths. It turned out that the identities of these nineteen people were either rich or noble, in addition to Najing's prominent position in the business world, and one of them was the first crown prince of a small country in West Asia, with a mountain of wealth under his name, and the six rich oil wells he owned alone could earn him a million dollars every day. In addition, there is another middle-aged man who is not good-looking and has a shy demeanor, who is actually an observer of a certain country in the US embassy, and has a very good political prospect.

These people gathered here, not kidnapped by pirates, but came voluntarily to make a deal with the lord of the merman. What they all have in common is that they have a terminal illness that makes even the top hospitals in the United States helpless.

It is precisely because they each have money and a future that they can do everything they can in order to survive, and finally find the sea fairy and be sent to the sea area where the lord of the merman is entrenched by their own cruise ship.

Na Jing's summary made Du Zhou even more shocked: "The initiator of the Sea Immortal Fang is the paranoid man who invented the new mobile phone, and he used his four private near-Earth satellites to search for the lord of the shark in the Pacific Ocean. Eventually, he made a deal with the Lord of the Sharks and returned to the United States after undergoing a secret operation. No one knows the content of the transaction, but the public has seen with their own eyes that within three years after the diagnosis of the terminal illness, the paranoid man is full of confidence and will lead the company to the supremacy of the best in a century and the strongest in a thousand years, and become the first emperor of the business empire. In the past, no one noticed the modifiers 'the best in a hundred years, the strongest in a thousand years', but now that you think about it, only immortal immortals can do this. In other words, after trading with the Lord of the Merman, the paranoid man believes that he has overcome the terminal illness and is a blessing in disguise and can live forever. Those of us who came here are willing to give everything we have, just to survive, no matter what the cost, and we don't care. ”

It was easy for Du Zhou to guess who the paranoia was, and he also knew what happened to him in the end, struggling for three years, and still being killed by a terminal illness.

He asked, "Paranoia is dead, so it proves that the sea immortal formula of the Lord of the Sharks has failed?"

Na Jing shook his head: "It's not that the Sea Immortal Fang failed, but that the paranoid was overconfident, thinking that he had already passed the difficulty, and disdained to obey the orders of the merman master anymore, and abandoned the Sea Immortal Fang without authorization." Human intelligence has always had limitations, although he is a computer genius, but he does not study the original foundation of life thoroughly, and in the end the genius falls, and he regrets it. It was precisely because of his experience that nineteen of us willingly sent people to wait for the final amnesty. ”

Du Zhou is in good health and does not have any problems with the Lord of the Sharks, so he screams bad luck after entering this place by mistake.

After him, Hu Jizun and Tang Wan were also sent. The trio were held in the cabin for more than forty hours before they were released.

Du Zhou did not pay too much attention to Tang Wan, and as soon as he was freed, he immediately asked Ai Shan to return. Back on shore, the four separated, and Du Zhou regretted the sea expedition and vowed never to follow Aishan out to sea again.

"As long as I have enough money, my vow can be annulled!" Du Zhou said to me with a grin.

I care about Tang Wan, but Du Zhou can't provide more.

"Why don't you sell the news to Mrs. Hong?" I asked.

"Yes, of course it will be sold, but I think it is Mr. Xia who is most interested in this news. If you can sell it for a high price, other people don't have to harass you one by one. Du Zhou said.

"If you were given a satellite map, you would be able to find that place?" I asked.

Du Zhou was confident: "Of course, although the Pacific Ocean is large, there is always a border. I grew up in a shipping company, and I was able to draw nautical maps with my bare hands, so I still have some confidence. ”

I shook my head and denied him: "You also said that the residence of the Lord of the Mermaids is a large submarine, which may stop in the East China Sea, or in the South China Sea, or even go to the Arctic Ocean through the Bering Strait and the Indian Ocean through the Strait of Malacca. You only remember the latitude and longitude where it was moored at that time, don't you carve a boat for a sword?"

"As long as it's a submarine, it has to be resupplied from the shore. Or even that it has to surface to change the pressure in the cabin? I'm sure that the near-Earth satellite will be able to pick it up quickly, just as the business geniuses have found it. Carrie's voice rang out from the side box.

Du Zhou was very proud, stopped looking at me, and turned his face to look at the box.

Jiali only spoke, but did not show up: "Mr. Du, you are a very good businessman, you invited me here, trying to let me bid with Mr. Xia, and then you will reap the profits of the fisherman." It's a pity, this is not an ordinary mall, you miscalculated. ”

Du Zhou used a simple businessman's thinking to measure today's situation, and he did indeed make a mistake of principle. A mall is a mall, politics is politics, and when the latter strikes the former, it is like using a 500-ton heavy roller to crush small ants, rumbling by, leaving no room for life.

"What do you mean by that?" Du Zhou heard that Jiali's tone was wrong, and forced him to calm down.

"Someone, take Mr. Du to a place where he is willing to tell the truth. Give him a breath until he tells all the secrets in his stomach. Karrie commanded.

Immediately, the two of them walked out of the box and dragged Du Boat out.

There are at least four groups of surveillance in the café, and Du Zhou chose to trade with me here because of the existence of surveillance, thinking that no one dares to do anything to him in broad daylight.

After me, Mrs. Hong, and Jiali joined forces, the surveillance was just a decoration, and anyone who tried to blackmail, threaten, or blackmail the three of us would end up tragically.

"Come and sit?" said Carrie, beckoning to me.

I didn't get up, feeling lonely, and sipping cold coffee.

The truth is always unbearable, and this is probably the true meaning of Milan Kundera's famous phrase "the unbearable lightness of life". Originally, the name "Tang Wan" weighed a thousand pounds in my heart, but now, with the circumstantial evidence of Du Zhou, the name suddenly became lighter. Including Tang Sang, he suddenly lost the reason for me to miss and grieve.
