Chapter 33: The Shark's Feelings
Coming to another stone room, the small room was lit up by the glowing crystal stones on the wall, and everyone sat around. This time, it was Dubin's turn to have a story to tell.
"Dubin, tell me, what happened to your daughter before?" Acantero asked.
"That was more than 20 years ago, my daughter had always been lively and strong, and suddenly one day she fell ill, with a high fever that did not go away, and her life was in danger. I took my daughter to find a way to find a way to cure the ice insect pet owner, and I was afraid that the high fever would burn my daughter's brain. Ice bugs are insects that burrow around in the ice cubes without being frozen, just like earthworms that burrow around in the soil and move freely. I want to put ice cubes on my daughter, and I also ask the ice insect pet owner to promise not to let my daughter freeze in the ice. When things were working, my wife's cries for help could be heard from outside the ice cave. I didn't care about my daughter and rushed out of the cave, but I saw that my wife had collapsed on the sand outside the cave, and her body was stabbed in the back by a knife. Before I could figure out the situation, I was furious, as if the blood from all over my body had rushed to my brain.
Who would dare to kill my wife? I really didn't know what was going on, I didn't notice the shadow of the murderer nearby, and I was so anxious that I picked up my wife and called her name. Want her to tell who the killer is? But before she could speak, I heard the wailing and screaming of the ice worm pet master from the ice cave, oh no, my daughter was also by his side.
By the time I rushed into the cave, the Ice Worm pet owner had already been burned to death. My daughter is missing, she is missing, and I have been looking for it for a long, long time......
I really don't understand, why did the murderer, the so-called man in black, do that? For what exactly? Dubin flailed his fist in the air.
Captain Akang remembered the file of the insect pet owner that he learned during his trip to the Taiping Imperial City, so he spoke: "Can I say a few words?" ”
"You're a detective, please have something to say." Jellyfish Enchantress replied.
"As far as I know, there have been many unsolved cases in the Pacific Rim world for centuries. Many of the merfolk are either missing or dead, and the killers cannot be found. One thing these cases have in common is that the dead or missing mermaids in these cases are all insects, both in the sea and on land.
Then recalling the incident that Du Bin just said, the real purpose of the murderer should be the pet owner of the ice worm. It is likely that Dubin's family was implicated. ”
"That's right," Arcantero interjected, "because I also know about these unsolved cases of the past century, and you are going to the Imperial City to reveal to the people there that my fate is a worm." That's bound to attract killers who want to kill the insect pet again, so that's why I sent Saysha and the Jellyfish Enchantress to spy on your tail. used you as bait to lure them out, but I didn't expect to lure out Dubin's own daughter. ”
The talks fell silent again, who is the man in black? Do the patriarchs know what's going on? It's a pity that the patriarchs are dead, and who knows what?
"Well, let's divide the work," said Arcantro, standing up, "I'll send someone to look elsewhere overnight for informants and some valuable information." The captain and Dubin both went back to think about it, and they didn't think to sort out any details. We'll talk about how to interrogate the female assassin tomorrow.
The meeting was adjourned.
The next morning, Kiki was woken up from a dream by Lingji: "What's the matter, Lingji?" ”
"It's not dawn yet, and your father brings breakfast and sits outside waiting for the sunrise. He kept looking at the sky as if he was very melancholy, which is rare. ”
"What? Didn't he suspect that I was a pretending daughter? Breakfast will be brought to you yourself. ”
Pushing open the door, Kiki bravely came to Dubin's side: "I'm sorry, I don't know if I should call you Dad or Uncle Dubin, I had no intention of lying to you." Kiki said.
"Oh!" Dubin smiled gently, "Of course you are my daughter, I have felt this way when I saw you since Shark Valley. ”
"However, my mother's name is Kenken, and I'm not the right age, so the one in the cage should be your daughter."
"It's possible for her, too, but it's too sudden, and a lot of things are possible. I can't release her from the cage so quickly, Dr. Zhuo has to use medical means to test whether she is related to me, Captain Akang has to try to test whether she is an undercover agent sent by the enemy, and Master Acantero has to gather information to find out who she may be behind the scenes. All of this, if not understood, can be dangerous for each and every one of us. Dubin sighed and sighed: "I don't know what's wrong with me, I loved sharks like my own children." It is necessary to try to stop terrestrial humans from overslaughtering sharks, and to stop sharks from preying on terrestrial humans. It seems that everything is supposed to preserve each other's lives, but the result is too far-fetched. My wife is dead, my daughter is gone, what am I doing wrong? ”
Dubin recalled the story of the past with some sadness: "It's a pity that I have a story, but I don't have wine." ”
"You really think I'm your daughter?" Kiki asked.
"Hahaha......" Dubin was a little excited: "Of course, Dr. Zhuo has also proved it, I believe her." Even if you're not my daughter, I'd like to be your father. That would comfort my wife in heaven: we have such a lovely daughter.
Du Bin looks like a father, he doesn't look like a big villain at all, and the three of them share the food he brought, and they are happy.
The second round of conversation with the caged assassin began.
"Okay, I'll ask the first question first." Captain Akon faced the unusually calm Rakshasa in the cage and asked, "Did your godfather tell you any impressive stories?" Speak up and let us hear it too. ”
"Many years ago, he used to tell a story." Rakshasa's eyes were still clear and innocent, without any cloudy thoughts: "He said that I was about to die, and he had no way to save me."
Holding me feeling that my heart was no longer beating, he came to a beautiful underwater beach with many beautiful shells and beautiful scenery, and put me down. I want the decomposers there to send my body back into the arms of Mother Sea, so that my soul can rest in peace in that beautiful seabed.
Later, strange creatures such as sea urchins, starfish, long-shaped bugs, and sand money crawled on my body. Ready, melt me into the paradise they have constructed. ”
Kiki listened to such a death speech, and there was an indescribable fear in her heart. She secretly looked at Du Bin and found that Du Bin's eyes were red and he was already crying silently. Rakshasa went on to say:
The man in black looked at him from afar, he was also helpless, he didn't know medical skills, and he had no friends, so no one could help him. He said that seeing me motionless, maybe it was a relief, like a sunset that was about to disappear.
My blood slowly spilled and dissipated into the water, and the worms wrapped around me. Like a silkworm on land, it spits out silk threads and weaves them into a cocoon bag to wrap me, waiting for my seemingly destined fate. At this time, a miracle occurred......"
The audience all opened their eyes in surprise, and the arrival of the wonderful part of the story made everyone gasp.
"Almost in the blink of an eye, a group of strange shrimp appeared out of nowhere around me. They swing their limbs and feet, pull out the decomposer from me, and I reappear as the day. It seemed that I had gained some kind of energy, and my body trembled. The shaking became faster and faster, and the shrimp spread out in all directions.
Then the man in black swam up to me and picked me up, and he was very happy that I was alive again. And I was selected by the prawns to be the pet owner of the prawns. ”
Rakshasa stopped talking, her story as innocent as her eyes.
"Are you a killer, trained by the Men in Black? What's your killer name? How is it launched? ”
The captain asked such a question, if it was another killer, he would not tell the truth, but would the killer in front of him tell the truth? Will she show any unusual micro-expressions when she answers? How would she answer? Everyone present looked forward to it.
"That's true, the man in black taught me some martial arts skills, taught me how to establish a subliminal information channel with the shrimp, and promoted my second evolution. My killer weapon, which my godfather named me 'Ji Yan Yi', when activated, poisonous spikes stick out of the backs of both hands, stabbing whoever dies. ”
Straight to the point and without hiding. It's really surprising, I don't know whether to believe it or not.
"You are a killer, have you killed many people?"
"I haven't killed many people, and I'm not a big person. The reason I remember was that they tried to cheat on me before I fought back. It is quickly forgotten, and the godfather said that memory is often the source of pain. ”
"You were slow when you tried to kill me, if you didn't have a sense of pain, how could you be affected when your prawn pet was killed and let you miss?"
"My perception of the attack and death of the shrimp does not affect my speed, and I live in a low-light environment with the shrimp all year round and have adapted to the shimmer. So you can't get used to a visit to the bright light, and you happened to be using the bright light at the time. ”
Rakshasa is as frank and outspoken as ever, making people wonder if she is a killer or not. Or to deceive trust as an undercover agent. Few killers in their right minds would be so honest in a cage, even if she said she didn't know anything like that, it made it feel like she wasn't lying.
"Okay, next question." Captain Akon looked at Akentro beside him and turned his head and continued to ask, "Rakshasa, I want to know, if you were given a new choice of fateful pets, what animal would you choose?" ”
This question is more like a psychological test question, can it gain insight into some secrets or information in the depths of Rakshasa's heart? Captain Akon is really a detective with a bit of experience.
"Shark!" Rakshasa answered directly without hesitation, without a moment's hesitation.
This made Dubin in the corner secretly surprised, he really didn't want to wonder whose blood was flowing in Rakshasa's body.
"Why?" The captain continued.
"I don't remember a lot of things, but I do remember an article about sharks."
"Oh, speak up and listen." The captain said with interest.
After a few seconds of pause, Rakshasa tilted his face slightly. The light reflected by the sea shone clearly on her tranquil face, and her eyes were still gentle and calm:
It came from hundreds of millions of years ago
Witness the twinkling stars in the sky
It keeps moving like flowing water
It passes through the vast ocean
Listen to the world around you
Playing a piece of music that never cries
It soars through a dreamlike time and space
Follow hope like a vulture
Leave the shadows behind you in the silence
It crawls in the dark forest
Like a wolf, he searches for the soul that has fallen behind
Tear open the door of detachment of Zero's soul with his cold teeth
It flies in the sky made of water
With a cold skin
Wrapped in the fiery passion of dominating the world
It came from yesterday
Joys, sorrows, and sorrows have been forgotten in the old days
I won't lament the hardships along the way
Because it doesn't want to lose
Because tomorrow
It will still dominate for the next billions of years
And I will remember
It comes when
I hadn't heard it cry
When it leaves
No traces of it have been seen
It seems that he has never stopped the journey of sweeping away his sorrows
It seems to be born in the body
There have never been cells that hurt the spring and autumn
But I'll remember
On the seabed beneath it
Once there was a blue fire
From the depths of his soul, the unyielding feelings
……
The sky was unusually clear tonight, with starry eyes blinking and the breeze gently caressing the island. On such a charming night, Kiki and Lingji pulled up hammocks in the not-so-large coconut grove. Prepare to fall asleep in the arms of the night, counting the stars.
During the day, I didn't know much about the Rakshasa and didn't know much about the owner behind her, but I was moved by her poem for a long time. What kind of opponent is this enemy who doesn't look like an enemy, who doesn't look like a killer? Confused the captain.
Under the influence of that poem, Lingji and Kiki decided to hug the stars and fall asleep to experience the different artistic conception. Kiki looked at the stars and imagined the story of the ancient Arabs weaving the myth of the constellations after returning from shepherding sheep. Could this be true? Turning his head to ask Lingji next to him, he found that she was actually asleep.
Looking back, looking at the stars in the sky, I don't know how long it has been, Kiki still hasn't sleeped. She remembered the streamer forest in her dreams, the sea of sunflowers, the phantom of the crystal wall in the labyrinth enchantment, and the legend in the drifting bottle. There were a lot of question marks, and then there was a strange sister who looked very similar to herself, and she also had a little amnesia. Since I want to practice, since I have met it is fate, why don't I also ask that strange sister if she has the same mark on her body as mine? Is there a dream similar to mine in her memory? If so, would she be as ignorant of the answer as I am?
An inexplicable courage, just like the girl named An An in the drifting bottle story, ran alone into the dark corridor to find the answer to the mystery. Dressed in the stars and the moon, Kiki rushes to the underwater cave where the rakshasa is locked and dives into the underwater passage.
The first few times I came, the passage felt a little empty. This time, the passage was densely packed with snappers and elders, like an army rushing to the market. In particular, the elders, who are known as bats in the water. It is day and night out to feed, and it is densely packed all around.
Strangely, Kiki thought to herself: the people who usually guard the area around the island and these passages and corridors are either sharks or the guards of the shark's pet owner. The presence of so many fish tonight only means one thing: the guards have been withdrawn. Is it Dubin? Isn't he afraid that something will happen?
Kiki didn't know if there was danger ahead, but she wanted to see what was going on. Curiosity made her let go of everything and swim forward bravely.
