Chapter 9: The Missing Expert

Sitting around a table, the guests with blue robes and those with purple robes take off their hoods.

"My name is Gurus, and I'm a friend of Han Xiaoxiao. He came to me in the Imperial City and asked me to help investigate the cause of the cetaceans getting out of control. "With a thin face, bright eyes, and a mustache on his mouth, Gurus knew at first glance that he was an expert of wisdom and experience. After removing his blue robe and hat, he also carried a round insect that looked like a big eye on his shoulder: "This is my favorite big-eyed worm." ”

The big-eyed insect blinked cutely at everyone present.

The guest who removed her purple robe and hat revealed a pair of slightly indifferent green eyes, and she also looked thin and capable. Under the long pointed nose there are thin lips that look a little snarky:

"Hello, my name is Sissi, and because of my age, others call me Sissi. Because of my bad voice, many people describe me as a witch. Sissiva's somewhat yin and yang voice contrasted strongly with Gurus's thick and mature voice: "To be honest, I'm not too nosy, but I also want to know if the truth has anything to do with me." I'm an expert in hallucinogen pharmacology, and my favorite is a variant of the Owen Little Star Butterflyfish. The eggs of this fish have a strong hallucinogenic effect when eaten, and God knows if those whales ate it. ”

"We've seen what happened to Han Xiaoxiao, but we can't help. For to let the enemy see us is to expose his plan. When the enemy sees us, he will know what we are coming for, and he will definitely let the whales take away the carcasses of the whales he hunted. Without a body to give us an autopsy, the plan was abandoned. Han Xiaoxiao was a brave man, and I also regretted his death. "Gurus is a well-known marine biologist. can't be exposed at a critical moment for Dubin to see, but also to save the whale carcass that Han Xiaoxiao exchanged for his life.

"I beg your pardon, after all, we are not combat merfolk, and fighting and killing is not our specialty." Sissiva's tone was slow, revealing her rather old-fashioned aura.

"Of course, you don't have to blame yourself too much. Han Xiaoxiao's expression was serene and happy when he died. He misses his loved ones so much that he will bury them together. Zhu Zhu Li Spirit: "We need to finish what he has not done, and this is also related to the peace of the mermaid world." Let's get to the point, what have you learned? ”

"After the fierce battle, the sharks and whales stopped fighting and left. We came out of a safe corner and went to the three whales that had been killed and retrieved the autopsy samples. As he spoke, Gurus pulled out three bottles from his bosom and placed them on the table, which were brain samples taken from the brains of dead whales.

The big-eyed worm crawled from his shoulder to the three transparent bottles on the table, and pointed at the bottles with his big black eyes, emitting a faint fluorescence that shone on the bottles.

"The ancestor of the big-eyed insect is the descendant of an ancient prophet and patriarch. It can see many things that ordinary people can't see, such as things that are 10,000 times smaller than cells, and now it is reading information from whale brain cells, and when it has results, it will tell me the situation with a spirit rhino. Gurus explained this amazing little creature, his eyes glowing white: "Based on the results it sees, I would like to first introduce the characteristics of the existence of clostridial cells in the whale's brain. ”

The big-eyed insect is quite efficient, and its super vision has seen some information in the whale brain tissue sample. Gurus continued:

"Clostridium cells, as the name suggests, are cells that are shaped like shuttles, and are found in normal whales. Its role is to make the organism feel compassion, love, compassion, kindness, and calmness. If the number of such cells decreases sharply, or even disappears, the whale's temperament will change in the opposite direction, such as cold, ferocious, crazy, murderous, and bloodthirsty. Listening to his explanation, everyone was secretly surprised, experts are experts.

"Hmmm! Wait a minute. Gurus received the message from the big-eyed insect and was slightly shocked:

"The big-eyed worm sees the clostridium cannibalized by another foreign cell, and the clostridium has very few clostridial cells. And foreign cells are very rare, is it ...... Is there a virus? ”

"Can you determine where that substance came from? I mean, it can't be from the eggs of the Owen Fish variant, right? Sisipa was concerned about things related to her reputation: "Or is it a flounder or something?" Are these two fish close relatives? ”

"Oops, noops!" Gurus seems to have made a discovery: "When I was taking a sample of the cells from a whale carcass, I forgot one thing. However, it can be determined that there is no relationship between the eggs of the variant Owen Star Saucer. ”

Aaron, the captain and the others looked at each other, there are so many wonderful things in this world. Zhuzhu asked, "What was forgotten?" ”

Sissiva's heart had almost run to her throat, and she was relieved to tell her that it had nothing to do with her and her Owen Star Saucer Fish.

"There are foreign cells in the whale's brain, and the passage into them is likely to be the ear. I was in such a hurry that I forgot to check its ears and I had to go back. Gurus hesitated, the whale carcass at this time may have attracted some carnivorous fish to enjoy a big meal, and the autopsy data may have been distorted. Even if you get there first, you may be harassed by the predatory fish that come later, causing danger.

"Don't look at me, I'm an old woman. If I can be sure that the whale is out of control has nothing to do with me, I will go home. "Sisipa seems to be quite timid.

Zhu Zhu looked at Xi Xi Po, and did not intend to let the old woman take such a risk to help. However, Captain Akon was very responsible, and he gave Aaron a look:

"Han Xiaoxiao and Zhuzhu have saved us, if you don't help, you can't say it, Aaron and I will accompany you to the whale corpse."

Gurus's hair would curl up when he was excited: "Great, the three of us will have a baby." That's it, are you ready to go? ”

"You go ahead first, and I'll take care of the two little girls for you." Zhuzhu said goodbye simply: "Take advantage of this time to do the aftermath for Han Xiaoxiao." ”

"It seems that nothing is wrong with me, and my old woman can't help much, so I won't bother you to go home first." Sisipa breathed a sigh of relief.

It takes courage to return to the previous hunting battlefield where whales were in close proximity. In that area, there is an undersea karst formation, a seabed covered with seaweed and coral. The undercurrent is surging, and it is a mess because of the war. The microbial decomposers didn't have time to clean up the battlefield, making it seem so dim and dead. However, Aaron, the captain, and Gurus return by the light of the bleak moon to find the unsolved truth.

And in the residence where she lived, Zhuzhu faced Kiki, and her eyes projected a surprising and inscrutable light. made Kiki at a loss, and Lingji on the side was also full of question marks in her heart. Kiki couldn't help but ask:

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You...... Do you know how we all evacuated the battlefield? ”

"Didn't you release a large area of sea with thick ink and blackened to confuse the other party's sight, so as to cover our departure?" Lingji is still a little impressed.

"Nope! No, Kiki, don't you remember what you did at that time? Zhuzhu was also suspicious, she didn't see that.

"All I remember was a big mouth pressed down, bloody, but...... But why do you ask? ”

"I have to help you remember what happened, the moment when the two killer whales were about to eat you, Han Xiao Xiao shot two shock wave rays. Lingji was saved, but you were saved and fainted at that time. I summoned the Overlord Sour Squid to come and release the thick ink to create a visual barrier, but then the danger was even closer. None of us were out of danger because the whales had rushed over and surrounded us. They have sonar capabilities, and the thick fog and black ink have little to stop them. We wouldn't be able to hide in the thick ink array for long, and they would open their mouths and rush over, and Han Xiao Xiao would no longer be able to attack.

My Overlord Squid can entangle and wound whales, but it can only deal with a few whales. And hundreds of whales are coming together, we can't take advantage of it, I thought this time it was really, we needed to go with Han Xiaoxiao. ”

Zhuzhu has a smile of relief and comfort in the face of death:

Later, in the thick ink...... Kiki, do you really remember what you did? ”

Neither girl knew what was going on, and Kiki's eyes widened in confusion.

"In the thick ink, Kiki closed your eyes, opened your arms, and jumped face up to cover the thick ink, rushing towards the group of whales surrounding it. Then he opened his eyes and shot a golden glow. At the same time, he opened his mouth briefly and harshly, and let out a metallic scream. ”

Kiki was very surprised, more than she had ever woken up from a nightmare before. The little faces are a little blue and green, which is unbelievable.

After that scream, an invisible shockwave radiates from your body and appears in a spherical arc. Drowning the whales in the sphere, I saw your face, covered with angry veins.

Time seemed to stop then. But the brief spherical scene dissipated with the terrifying darkness. What is puzzling is that a large number of whales are desperately trying to escape, and in an instant there is no longer a single whale in sight, and even the injured whale swims super fast.

When you come back to your senses, you don't know when you have fallen, and you are asleep in the thick ink. Zhuzhu's eyes were surprised and empty.

Kiki was stunned, speechless, until she was woken up by Lingji:

"Kiki, you should be happy that you have amazing unknown potential."

Zhu Zhu comforted: "When you practice to a certain extent, you will definitely have amazing deeds. ”

"But...... But how do I think there is another strange thing in my body? Kiki didn't know what to say.

Lingji grabbed Kiki, a little happy: "Who said that my good sister is abnormal, Kiki is my good sister." ”

"It only happened for a short time, and it was surrounded by whales, so I guess I was the only one who saw it. No one else should know, so Kiki, keep this matter a secret until your second evolution is completed. It's good for your safety, it's a secret for the three of us, you know? Zhu Zhu smiled and stretched out her little finger, and the three mermaids pulled the hook as a secret agreement. Suddenly, Zhuzhu said, "However, this may only be a temporary secret, because the whale was frightened by you at that time. There is a good chance that this process will be known to the person behind the whale, so if you find out who this person is in the future, you must guard against him. Because you have the potential to be his nemesis. ”

Kiki was still a little melancholy in her heart, for her, the cultivation of the second evolution did not have much clue and results, and the road ahead was still bleak and directionless. But the occurrence of this incident gave her an invisible pressure, and maybe every tomorrow after that will be tirelessly staged a thrilling experience.

"They're back." Zhuzhu received the sensing message of the overlord sour squid, and went to the entrance and exit of the underwater passage of the residence with Qiqi Lingji, preparing to welcome several heroes who returned with the truth of the cetacean's rampage.

But there are unforeseen storms in the sky, and there are undercurrents surging in the sea. The captain who came out of the waterway hung his head and held a transparent bottle in his arms. Aaron followed, still with his big hat covering his face, but Gurus was nowhere to be seen.

"What about the Gurus? Isn't he following you? Zhuzhu asked.

He ...... He's missing. The captain spoke with frustration.

"What's going on? Didn't you keep an eye on him? Zhuzhu asked puzzled.

Coming to the round table and sitting down, the captain placed the bottle on the table. Inside was a hideous-looking insect with many tentacles, and said heavily, "This is the strange bug that Gurus found in the whale's ear, and that's why the cetaceans are on a rampage." ”

"So, what happened to Gurus?" The answer Zhuzhu wanted was not just this strange bug at this time, although it had been shocked to death, the death statue was still hideous and terrifying.

The captain took a deep breath, and the whole thing unfolded:

As soon as he began to send Sissiva away, Gurus's face began to become a little solemn. On the way, he first talked about his own sixth sense of an uncertain prophet, and he knew what was going to happen in the next period of time. It makes me think that he has a certain sense of humor, which is common to more intelligent people.

Later, he talked about his pet big-eyed worm, which is a little related to the sea slug, and will secrete mucus all over his body to get rid of danger in an emergency. I think he seems to want me to know how important his pet is to him.

Later, he said that if he was eaten by a giant fish, as long as he was not bitten by the fish's fangs, he would be able to secrete mucus all over his body to make the fish feel uncomfortable and vomit it, and ordinary sea creatures would not be able to eat him.

I still didn't understand what he meant, and he smiled and said let's summon our respective pets to patrol near where he works. We felt that safety came first, so I summoned the lantern anglerfish, and Aaron recruited the nearby rays to build a protective ring.

He prostrated himself in the ear of the dead blue whale, opened the eyes of his second evolution to produce abnormal vision, and reached out to grope in the whale's ear. But the big-eyed worm on his shoulder whistled rapidly, and we didn't know what was happening, but we saw Gurus turn his face to it and comfort him, 'Don't worry baby, that guy can't do anything to me.' ’

Actually, I should have thought that the supernormal eyesight of the big-eyed worm must have seen something we couldn't see, but I didn't take precautions, I really damn it.

The corners of Gurus's mouth curled, and he happily took out the bloody worm, put it in a bottle, handed it to me, and said, 'Take it for me first, this thing will be brought to the Taiping Imperial City as physical evidence, and then apply for the use of the merfolk army to quell the cetacean rebellion here.' ’

I took the bottle and heard him say that this bug resembles the legendary zombie bug. At that time, his favored big-eyed worm screamed rapidly. He told me let's wait for him where he was, and he went to see the other dead whale. It may be necessary to use a knife to dissect, and the scene will be uncomfortable, so let's stay where we are and not look at it. We did, but Aaron and I waited a long time and didn't see him come back.

Later, an anglerfish sent a synaesthesia message on the other side of the seabed and saw a suspicious giant lion's mane jellyfish. Its hat is over eight feet in diameter, and its hundreds of tentacles stretch out over one hundred and twenty feet long. This creature has only 6% solids, and the rest is water, so it is not a problem to catch and swallow Gurus.

So we followed the information and drove there, and the lion's mane jellyfish was long gone. ”

After the captain finished speaking, he was very annoyed by his carelessness, for a long time, his work has been continuous, and he has made frequent mistakes: "I really don't have the face to be a detective anymore." ”

The atmosphere around the round table fell silent again, and the glowing crystal stone on the roof of the room, sprinkled with a faint and sad light, enveloped the frozen space.

Zhu Zhu broke the silence and slapped the table: "Captain, the matter is not over yet, we must bring this bug to the Taiping Imperial City and bring the Imperial City army back." ”

The captain looked at the bug in the bottle in front of him, though dead. But he still seemed to be smiling hideously, sneering proudly at the captain......

The next stop of the cultivation - the Taiping Imperial City, the capital of the Pacific Mermaid Sea Kingdom.
