"You've finally woken up, you've slept so well these days."

Qiqi gave Lingji who was lying on the side of the bed a bowl of fragrant nutritious porridge: "Eat quickly, you must be hungry, right?" Congratulations, you have taken another step forward in your practice. ”

"Oh......" Lingji rubbed her neck and stretched her arm, "How many days have I been asleep?" ”

"Today is the fourth day."

"What? It's been four days. Lingji's round eyes widened in surprise: "Well, seriously, I just woke up and felt weird tired." It's like going to a battle and coming back, with a sore back, of course, in a dream. ”

"Hit whom? Did you win? Kiki smiled wryly.

"I think I forgot everything." Lingji found Kiki and smiled evilly: "You are laughing at me!" ”

"No, no......," Kiki said, her face flushed.

"Eat something first, and then I will beat you up with the strength." Lingji pursed her lips and asked Kiki, "Where is the captain's uncle and the big windbreaker?" ”

"They told me to watch you and go to the parade and rally in the Imperial City by myself."

"What? It's a pity not to make up for such a big bustle. Lingji tried to get up, but felt weak and had to give up.

"Don't be in a hurry to move, take care of your body before moving." Kiki said.

"What is the reason for the assembly? Is it Carnival again? ”

"How many days have you been sleeping? Several battles were fought outside the gates of the imperial city and won. So there is a celebration in the city to make the residents happy. ”

"Wow! I missed a few battles and a celebration of victory. Lingji muttered with her mouth cocked.

"You've caught up with the further deepening of the second evolution, which is also thankful! I'm not so lucky, and God knows when I'm going to get there? Kiki sighed.

"Don't be too embarrassed about this. When fate arrives, you must be more exciting. Lingji couldn't think of how she could describe it as wonderful.

After a short time, Lingji finished eating porridge. I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand and wanted to get out of bed, looking very anxious to go out to play.

"Where are you going? So urgent. Kiki asked.

"Let's go for a walk!"

Kiki couldn't resist Lingji, and half-helped and half-pulled Lingji out of the bedroom and came to the living room. The door of the living room was pushed open at this time, and a squeak startled Lingji, and it was Uncle Akon and Aaron who entered the door.

"Huh! Wake up, where do you want to go? The uncle looked at the girl and asked.

"Go see the ceremony parade or something." Kiki replied.

"Don't go, it's all gone, and the parade is over." Aaron Road.

"So fast, it's still early." Lingji was not very reconciled, just like missing the meteor, a little frustrated.

"It shouldn't have dispersed so quickly, but suddenly there was a reason for the Empress of the Imperial City who was present at the assembly to make a brief celebratory speech, and then hurried back to the national meeting. Who knows why? Uncle explained.

"The Empress of the Imperial City, what does she look like?" Lingji came to the spirit.

"Of course, graceful and luxurious, the mother is in the world. At the rally, she stepped on the back of a giant crab and let the crab carry her through the square, waving to the citizens. That big crab is covered with flowers, it's really beautiful! Aaron clasped his hands to his chest and said, "Hey! I don't think I'll ever eat crabs again, maybe it's the queen's favorite? ”

"Hmm!" The uncle let go of the conversation in another tone: "Okay, let's have a meeting now." I have to talk to you about some serious things, and the Imperial City will be put aside in advance. ”

Sitting down around the round table in the living room, Uncle Akang said, "Learning to summarize the past from time to time can help us clear our minds and discover clues and information that we have overlooked before. And then find a guide for the next step, which is conducive to the practice.

First of all, I was entrusted by the village chief of Wucun to leave the house village with two girls to go out to practice, and became the teacher of Qiqi and Lingji. Follow the traditions of the merfolk to guide their practice.

Then, on the invisible island, he encountered a strange whale. Whales are not fish, they are mammals and breathe with their lungs, but after a long time, people are used to calling them whales. The strange thing is that they are hunting their own pet owners, which is so surprising. After the two pet owners, Liulena and Han Xiaoxiao, are killed one after another, marine biologist Gurus intervenes to investigate the truth and disappears after discovering a strange bug.

The bizarre bug samples were taken away and destroyed after we fell into the hands of Dubin.

We fled again, entered the Imperial City, and summed up what we encountered:

One, we succeeded in escaping every time, and it stands to reason that none of us can win the shark roundup. It is likely that they are deliberately freeing us.

Second, Aaron met his brother, but what has his brother experienced over the years? Is he friend or foe? What is the purpose of letting us go?

Third, Lingji's cultivation progress should not be accidental. During this period, Lingji had a fight with the jellyfish demon queen, and the ending was that Lingji's body recovered surprisingly quickly after being injured, and she also played that trick 'Kiss of a Thousand Needles' or something. Perhaps it was the blow of the Enchantress that contributed to the accelerated evolution of the Spirit Queen. If so, what is the motive of the jellyfish enchantress? Was it just unintentional or deliberate?

Fourth, Kiki's cultivation is the most difficult to figure out, and the unclear things encountered along the way are also one by one. Let's not talk about where to find the answer to the things I encountered before, that is, the last thing I encountered. Why did you suddenly get such a strange memory in the labyrinth? ”

The atmosphere in the living room made Akon's question so oppressive that it felt breathless, and the captain breathed a sigh of relief:

"Of course, back to the starting point of the problem. We traveled only for the sake of the two girls' practice, so there were a lot fewer things to think about. If Lingji's re-cultivation and evolution are related to the Jellyfish Enchantress's injuries, you can communicate with the Jellyfish Enchantress if possible. It's just that we can take a break now and talk about it later. Kiki's situation is a little more complicated.

In the labyrinth, Kiki visions the eels that have been dead for many years. Later, I got a memory of a maze map, and if I wanted to figure out what really happened, I had to ask two ......"

The captain hesitated for a moment and did not speak, thinking about how to express what he had to say.

"Which two men?" Kiki asked.

"Let's put it this way, the first one to ask, you have to ask Kiki your own subconscious. But this is difficult, and the second person who can ask is the eel building worker, but he has been dead for many years. ”

Others are puzzled and seem to be listening to nonsense.

"So what to do?" Kiki was confused.

"I think that the secrets of the eel building workers should always be known to some people, especially the few elders who worked with him at the same time and are still alive."

"Makes sense!" Lingji couldn't help but exclaim: "Then let's go find those elders." ”

Aaron said weakly: "Look at you, your body is still weak, so you are in a hurry to go out and play." ”

Both girls glanced at him, and Aaron looked embarrassed.

……

The fist-sized beads placed on the walls radiate a blue and mysterious light. Illuminating a deep corridor leading to the prison on the ground floor of the Taiping Imperial City, the corridor echoed with rhythmic footsteps, the sound powerful and slightly dull.

In front of the two columns of guards who followed walked the Baron Kuraken, a star-mitter in a black striped trench coat. Although his beard and hair have turned gray, his golden cheeks and vigilant eyes still make people feel the coldness and sharpness of the old man.

Pushing open the black door at the end of the hallway, there was an interrogation hall filled with air. Inside the hall is a granite stone wall that has been polished to a certain shape and thickness, which can block the brain wave signal and prevent the prisoners inside from using the brain wave to summon their pets. A sturdy iron fence separates the hall. On one side are prisoners awaiting trial, and on the other are the inquisitors of the Imperial City.

The imprisoned jellyfish enchantress saw through the iron fence and saw that the person who came to judge her was an old man and did not think so. As he asked, he stretched out a dense long thorn from his back and went through the fence to Kulaken: "Old man, what advice do you have?" ”

In the face of the provocation of dense long thorns, Kuraken was unhurried. When the long thorn was about to surround him very closely, he shouted,

"Drink!" Air-discharging.

After a crackling electric shock, the jellyfish enchantress almost fainted. The dense thorns were much scorched, shivering and shrinking in pain with green smoke.

"It's strong." Kuracens, surprised, said, "Haven't you heard of the power of the Imperial City's electrocutor? Facing the jellyfish enchantress who fell to the ground, Kulaken was expressionless.

"Well, out of respect, I'll introduce myself first, I'm Baron Kuraken the Spotted Star Fish. The pet owner of the spotted star fish that can discharge, one of the black-robed elders of the imperial city.

"I won't tell you anything, crazy old man." The jellyfish enchantress does not take the old man seriously. Despite the pain in his body, a smile still appeared on his lips.

"Well, there was a story once upon a time. Many years ago, there was a very loving couple. The husband is a very outstanding geothermal energy engineer and biologist among the sea tribe, and the wife is a very gentle and virtuous assistant. The two live and work together and are a very enviable couple. Kuraken said this, and a smile came to his face that was rare to see:

"But one day, when my husband was investigating an undersea volcano, the volcano suddenly erupted, and his form was very dangerous and needed to be saved. And the wife, who was in a safe distance from afar, was just in time to give birth, and she called for help, hoarsely crying for help. When the rescue team arrived, a group of people delivered the baby to their wives; A group of people rushed to the volcanic area to save her husband who had been crushed by the hot rocks......"

Kuraken sighed as he told the story: "Worse is coming, the originally mild earthquake has intensified and escalated. The rescue team was unable to save her husband, who was in danger, and he did not survive. The wife, who had just given birth to a child, rushed desperately into the disaster area, and she could do nothing. When he returned to look for his child with a lot of pain, the camp where the child was cared for had been reduced to a deserted ruin due to the earthquake, and the child was missing. ”

The wife also disappeared after recovering from her injuries. And her pet is a lion's mane jellyfish with a strong physical recovery ability and strong vitality.

I don't know where the surviving wife has gone, what has happened? But I guess she's looking for her missing child. It is also very likely that her deep love for this child has bred her hatred and rebellion against the underwater world and the merfolk world that took her child. ”

The jellyfish enchantress sitting in the corner quietly slipped a tear in silence. But he immediately changed his angry eyes and shouted: "Knowing that the volcano is dangerous, and sending that engineer to investigate, shouldn't the merfolk be responsible for the accident?" ”

Kuraken understood a little clue in his heart, and continued to ask: "It seems that your previous name should not be called Jellyfish Enchantress, but Yaoji......"

"Shut up! That man was long dead. The Jellyfish Enchantress interrupted Kuraken: "Don't think about what I say, you won't ask anything!" ”

Kulaken was known for his harsh interrogation of the most heinous prisoners. Words go straight to the prisoner's deep painful memories until his defenses collapse and he confesses. Now, in the face of this misguided criminal, he is moved with compassion. He wanted to tell the secrets and information he wanted to know in a way that didn't make people too painful.

He gestured to a soldier behind him, who held a box and placed it on the interrogation table. Open the box and pull out a hat with a strange brain-shaped design. From the outside, it looks like a "brain" made of tiny, glowing white transparent crystals.

"This thing is called a brain reader, and when worn on the head, it can produce electromagnetic waves that resonate with the electromagnetic field of the head. It doesn't make anyone suffer from it. Kuraken introduced.

"Old ghost, this thing is the legendary brain reader that can make people tell the truth and have no defense, right? That's why you never fail to interrogate prisoners, isn't it a bit of a deception to rely on this thing to make yourself an interrogation expert? ”

"Of course not, I improved its design. It was painful before it was improved, but now it doesn't. I will not live up to the name of the patriarch. ”

"Hahahaha......" the jellyfish bewitcher laughed wildly.

"What are you laughing at?" Kuraken asked, puzzled.

"I laugh at you for being old and can't move!" The Enchantress once again showed her murderous intent.

Kulaken suddenly remembered that something was wrong: there were two more guards with him today. He looked back at the guards behind him, but it was too late, and an iron-gloved fist struck him from behind and through his chest. Blood spurted from the chest and the corners of the mouth. At the same time, another soldier drew his short knife and flashed like a shadow around the other soldiers. The soldiers fell to the ground, and they were all stabbed by knives, and they all fell to the ground.

When Kurakhan also fell, the two remaining soldiers took off their helmets. One of them is Ray, the pet master of the Brondu scorpion who has been lurking in the imperial city for a long time, and the other is the pet master of the swordfish who has been captured alive, Saysha.

"Daddy! I haven't seen you for years, and you're getting a lot older. The jellyfish bewitch screamed at the white-haired old man who had punched Kuraken to death.

"Time is running out, I'll be found soon after I saved Ayasha, you need to get out of here and bring the brain reader you want." As he spoke, Ray's hand, which was not very tall, turned into a metallic plier and smashed the cage to release his imprisoned goddaughter.

didn't have time to say anything, and the three of them ran out with the brain reader. Ray summoned one of the few but fierce Brondo Scorpions to break through the door......

The medical and health department of the imperial city was surrounded and protected by a large group of soldiers, and the citizens on the periphery were full of discussions. What is the result of rescuing Kulaken, the government dignitaries and elders were attacked by spies in the city, which made the city's security system staff very embarrassed.

The door of the Ministry of Health and Health was silent for an unknown amount of time, and then it was slowly pushed open, and out of several medical personnel with solemn faces and a burly Torres. Finally, the four Captain Akang were squeezed out of the crowd. Concerned to Torres asked about the situation of the patriarch of Kulaken, and the outcome was not optimistic, just look at everyone's expressions.

The whole city observed a moment of silence in mourning......

In Torres' office, the captain and Aaron mourned with them. Torres says:

"Captain, you are a detective, and it is your duty to find and recover the stolen brain reader for us."

"Didn't the brain reader be disabled and damaged many years ago?" The captain asked.

"When the brain reader was first designed, it was only used because of the deep thirst for knowledge of the patriarchs who designed it at that time. I want to read the knowledge I need from the brains of other living species to share it and evolve more efficiently. and can optimize the larger required resources. However, the design was initially subject to ethical controversy, so the design process was quite tortuous. But it was later designed, using a special crystal with electromagnetic fields and brain wave resonance, and it was reassembled through structural reorganization. The subjects were not merfolk at the time, and they all had design flaws that caused the subjects to die shortly after, only to be improved again by generations of veterans.

However, many people feel that using this instrument is like building a window to peek into the secrets of other people's lives or other people's lives. Therefore, its use is strictly controlled, but today, the instrument is taken away by the bad guys, and the consequences are very serious. ”

Captain Akang felt a huge pressure in his heart.

"But I don't quite understand, what are the bad guys doing with the instruments?" Aaron asked, puzzled.

"Don't you understand? Can I get more information resources? The captain replied, "Let's say you have a treasure hidden by you, and only you know where it is, and you use that instrument on your head, and you don't say it, and others know where it is?" ”

Aaron was a little ashamed of his abruptness.

"Tell me how the few people who took away the brain reader ended up leaving the Imperial City, right?" The captain asked.

"The veteran who guards the prison is named Lei, who is loyal and reliable, and never has a grudge against anyone. He had an engineer son who died in an accident more than 10 years ago. After that, he rarely spoke again, only cherishing his pet Brondu Scorpion even more. Feed the Brondu Scorpions with expensive medicinal diets to make them grow bigger, and train them to break the chains of steel.

He rescued the jellyfish Enchantress and the swordfish Yaksha, and commanded the gigantic and docile Bronza Scorpion to go on a rampage. Break through the many checkpoints of the Imperial City guards and approach the city gate. Later, he was shot into a hedgehog by the guards with a bow and crossbow before he was tragically fallen to the ground.

The Brondu scorpions, no longer obedient, shook off the two men on their backs and surrendered. However, when Childyasha was about to be bound, he found a citizen hiding in a corner and did not have time to evacuate, and took him hostage. In the end, the two men were able to escape from the imperial city through the south gate, and there was no information back to indicate where they had fled. ”

After a brief moment of silence, Torres continued:

"There's another situation, I don't know if it's useful to tell you."

"Please, maybe it will work." The captain didn't want to miss any clues.

"Before Kuraken died, he said one thing: the instrument was encrypted by him, and ordinary people couldn't open it, and only ...... At this point, his life of more than 400 years was stopped, and he didn't have time to finish what was there. ”

The captain held his chin in one hand and thought, and the scene fell silent again. He didn't have any plans for a while, but it was certain that it was inevitable to leave the Imperial City and travel again.

Along the way, he saw the cetaceans running wild, and in turn slaughtered his pet owner. Gurus disappeared while the cause was being investigated, and the trail was broken. Then there are the shark Dubin, the jellyfish enchantress, and the swordfish Yaksha. The smarter of these appearances is the jellyfish enchantress, who has been tracked down to start with the lion's mane jellyfish, and there is one of the pet owners who can sense the jellyfish, although she is still a weaker child. Either way, if you find the jellyfish enchantress, you will find a breakthrough.

"Lingji, it's time to test how much you can do in your second evolution. I want you to help me perceive more of your pet lantern jellyfish and let them help us find the lion's mane jellyfish. In this way, it will be faster to find the jellyfish enchantress, are you willing to take this risk to help the Imperial City solve the case? ”

Captain Akang is well aware of the danger of this trip, and it is really unbearable to let a child take risks.

"Gotcha! I love to be funny, I love excitement, and more likely, if I catch her, I might be able to learn more about the secrets of jellyfish. Lingji decisively agreed.

Kiki on the side squeaked weakly: "How boring it is to leave me behind!" I'll go wherever Lingji goes. How can good sisters be separated? ”

"Count me in, we are a team, and our feelings are iron." Aaron wandered until he had a companion and was unwilling to remain alone.

The captain was a little relieved, and his life was becoming more and more meaningful.

"Ahh

"Ahh Ignoring the pain on his body, he screamed hoarsely and screamed. The sound resounded through the sea of huge waves in the vast night, stirring up the waves of sorrow and stirring.

"Your voice is too harsh, can you stop for a moment? Let another jellyfish in this sea area be discovered, and maybe the news will be sent back to the imperial city, and our location will be exposed. Pierced by several crossbow arrows and unable to take them off, Saysha, who was seriously wounded, lay on the back of another fast-swimming great white shark and said dissatisfiedly, "I know, the mermaid you called Daddy died trying to save us." He is actually the biological father of your dead husband, and you are sad that you have one less relative, please mourn, big sister! ”

In front, Dubin, who was also lying on a great white shark, controlled the great white shark and commanded the group of sharks to escort the front and back, left and right. The shark he was lying in was biting the brain-shaped helmet that he had worked so hard to snatch from the imperial city, the Brain Reading Instrument.

Hearing the restless wail behind him, Dubin turned his head. He stopped talking, and finally said, "Childyasha, you let her call for a while." It doesn't matter, our mission is complete, and after releasing the hostage, we are marching at this speed, and the pursuers have been thrown away. ”

Tong Yasha had many injuries on his body, and he could see that it was not only the jellyfish enchantress at this time, but also the shark Dubin. His eyes were full of red bloodshots, which were silent tears in the submersion of the sea.

The sea is salty, bitterly salty,

"The leader has spoken a word, and he has spoken it very deeply." When Du Bin spoke, there was a rare trace of sadness in his eyes: "Those of us who have embarked on the road of no return that is difficult to turn back are not really treacherous, ruthless and unrighteous. In fact, it's just the opposite, but there is affection and righteousness, just because of the excessive attachment to the disappeared relatives, there is an inseparable longing. will be desperate and desperate, and feel that their lives and existence are meaningful in this way. ”

"I can understand this, we are in the same boat......"

"No!" Dubin interrupted Ayasha's words: "Actually, you are relatively lucky, I don't have a wife and a daughter. The enchantress lost her husband and father-in-law, and her daughter disappeared for years. And you, although the beloved girl has left you, she is at least alive and well, living in this world. ”

Yaksha stopped talking, he didn't know what to say, the people he loved couldn't stay together, it wasn't a kind of torment.

The jellyfish enchantress's voice was hoarse, and the tragic condition of her father-in-law's body with arrows in her body made her extremely sad, and she regretted that she was not able to pull him at that moment. If it had been faster, faster, maybe he wouldn't have died. hated the large number of imperial city guards, but at that moment, the righteous father still shouted to her to go quickly, leave quickly, and leave him alone......

The Creator created the blazing sun to give strength and courage to man.

But the Creator also made the moon to calm people, to make people think, to make people sad.

A whole group of sharks, carrying three sad mermaids, rushed all the way. Disappear into the depths of the ocean where the undercurrent surges, and disappear into the moonlight full of sorrow.
