Chapter 409: Mermaid
Mai opened her eyes and met a pair of ice blue eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief and sat up. Looking back, Zero's doll bear was getting up with a dissatisfied expression. I don't know why I need a pillow on the bottom of the sea, but it was the one who served as a pillow just now.
"Feeling better?" Zero looked at her and asked softly.
Jiude Mai held her head and shook it, looking at the ice slag floating around her and was stunned. She touched her hair, and there were cold crumbling ice slags sticking to it, and there were still a lot of ice cubes on her clothes that had not melted.
She looked up and looked at the expressionless Zero beside her with a questioning expression: "This is ......"
"I need to make sure you don't do anything dangerous when you wake up." Zero didn't look at her either.
“…… Thank you so much. "It turns out that the cold that was going to freeze her blood and internal organs just now was the handiwork of the three nos in front of her!
Zero went on to explain, "That painting is most likely the work of the owner of this palace, a very high alchemical object that can make people lose themselves in an inescapable illusion. ”
"So it's a defense agency, and it's probably put here to deal with intruders like us, right?" Jiude Mai patted the ice chips on her body, got up and stretched her proud posture, and floated in the water again, "Listen to you, you seem to have gone in there too?" ”
Zero nodded: "I went in, but I didn't stay long before leaving." ”
She looked at the doll bear, who had his back to them, his shoulders swaying as if he was snickering, and said, "Zoro brought me out of there, and the living beings up there can't do anything about it." ”
Mai also looked at the doll bear who didn't know what kind of prank she was planning, and found that it was not snickering, but was biting at a small cloud of black mist, and on that black mist, there was an extremely familiar smell of decay.
"That's the spirit of the living soul in the painting." Zero also saw this scene, "You can think of that painting as a pathogen, this is the virus you are infected. ”
Mai had a disgusting expression on her face, it was too bad to let such a thing stay in her body. At the same time, she also understood that this little guy was not a pillow at all, but hunting, using her body as a hunting ground...... Thinking about it this way, the bad feeling instantly came back again.
"So, what do you see in there?" Zero looked up and asked her, obviously they were all floating in the water, but Jiude Mai was still more than a head taller than her.
She continued expressionlessly, "Zoro brought me out too quickly, and I didn't see much useful information. ”
Mai lowered her head and thought about it, the expulsion of the spirit had left her brain in a state of confusion for a while. After a long time, she raised her head and said, "...... The man in the black mist, and the red-haired woman. ”
Although the woman in the illusion was shrouded in black mist, two very obvious strands of red hair still hung down on both sides of her cheeks. Then she suddenly reacted, if her guess just now was true, then the identity that existed in the black fog didn't seem to have to be deliberately guessed.
"Red-haired woman, this may not be a mystery at all." Zero glanced down, his gaze as if through the thick walls, at the fugitive figure in the sea beneath the castle.
As for the people in the black mist...... She looked up as if she was afraid, as if she was wondering...... In short, it's a wine de Mai with a confused face.
Suddenly finding herself eye-to-eye with the legendary Supreme, Mai felt as if she should be a little more frightened at first, after all, it was an existence that had been feared by dragons and humans for an unknown number of years. Eye contact with her, even if you die on the spot, there is nothing surprising about it.
However, those seemingly eternal eyes gave her a sense of peace and déjà vu. She thought she must be crazy, she thought that she might have seen the one and only supreme. Compared to this, the last image that remained in her consciousness made her even more puzzled.
The night sky was dyed red, and the incomparably huge moon seemed to occupy the entire sky, and a blood-like red descended from the sky, dyeing the entire land a strange blood red. Above the moon, a huge six-winged figure slowly descended, as if to punish all the ominous things in this world...... However, he, or she, is the greatest ominous thing in this world.
The family crest of the Gattuso family is called the fallen holy angel, but Mai thinks this may be a blasphemy, because the six-winged figure has nothing to do with the word saint at all. At the same time, she also understood why the owner of the painting had hidden the figure of the moon, and why there was no complete angel figure in the castle outside. Because the master here was afraid of her, terrified, that it might be even more terrible than the one Supreme......
Zero listened quietly to what she described, and then there was a long silence. Aside from the images that humans themselves have invented, it is known that there was no such person in the history of dragons. But if it is really the picture that depicts an enemy who can become the Supreme descending from the Red Moon, then there may be a basis for explaining the greatest mystery in history, the death of the Dragon Supreme.
The death of the Supreme as described in the history of the half-bloods, the human race removed the Supreme who sat at the top of the world from the throne, and shouted loudly that the human race had defeated the Great Supreme and praised the strength of the human race. Slightly more rigorous scholars believe that it was the four kings, who could not bear the oppression of the Supreme Being, together with the human race, who overthrew the rule of the Supreme Being.
Aside from what may seem magical even now, the former who feels good about themselves are overflowing, and the latter seems to be more acceptable to half-breeds. But can the dragon kings really defeat the Supreme? No one can answer this question, and perhaps even the dragon king himself is not sure.
But if there is a third party on the battlefield that no one knows about except them...... It seems that a lot of things can be explained.
Zero glanced back at the painting on the wall of the corridor in the distance, and after taking Mai from there, the painting returned to its original appearance. The golden eyes did not change their gaze suddenly, and the whole painting looked unremarkable and unremarkable.
And Zero suddenly seemed to understand the meaning of the painting being placed here, maybe this is indeed a part of the defense agency, but the content of the painting is not the kind of wine and Mai conjecture, it is saying that the author of the painting himself has a person who can be compared with the supreme, but a kind of warning.
It is always warning the owner of the palace...... Enemies, above the moon.
The movement from the corridor on the side brought her back to her senses, and she was silent, and Mai, who was also quiet, glanced at each other, and stayed where she was and didn't move. A dark realm opened by zero had always shrouded them, so there was no need to panic to find a hiding place.
】
The water rippled, and a group of merfolk armed with spears and armor looked more elite than the mermaids outside. It's just that among them, there is an extremely incongruous figure.
Frost Gattuso, one of the culprits of the Gattuso's rebellion, whom Pompeii has assumed, is swimming with them among the merfolks. He looks like he's in a suit and leather shoes, but if you look closely, you can see that he seems to be a lot younger. is different from the usual image of an old man in the twilight, like a middle-aged man in the prime of life.
Frost doesn't seem to have much to do with the merfolk, but the way the two get along is intriguing. He was surrounded by the merfolk as if he were protective, and he didn't look like a captive or a hostage at all, but more like their commander.
Frost's figure faded into the end of the hallway, and Zero and Mai returned to the hallway, swimming in the direction he had come.
……
Chen Motong was now in a quandangle, because she seemed to have found a survivor. According to Eva, not many people from the academy had entered with her, and all of them were still together. In other words, the guy shivering in the coral not far in front of her was not from the Academy, but a member of the Gattuso family that she hated so much that she wished to be completely dead.
Now that she has the strong assistance of Eva, the previous idea of finding a partner has been completely abandoned by her, and now she just wants to go and meet her friends quickly. But there was no way to leave the guy alone, the guy was hiding in her path, and she was now heading along a valley under the sea.
Valley...... Or it is more appropriate to call it a ravine, she has no way to swim openly, she can only pick these gutters to walk, and this is also a key search target. Luckily, Eva's little terminal also has sonar in it, allowing her to avoid the mermaids who are searching, and then she bumps into this guy.
Staying where she was looking for other routes, Chen Motong gradually became a little upset, mainly because the guy was too noisy, and she could hear the crying and chirping sound hiding on the side, not to mention the mermaids who skipped over the top from time to time and had extremely quick hearing.
"It's noisy......" she cursed as she lowered her head and swam slowly towards it.
Eva's voice rang softly in her ears: "Miss Chen, I have to warn you, this may be a trap. ”
"I know." Chen Motong replied, but the direction of swimming did not change.
In this case, there is still time to cry and chirp, and it has not yet become a meal on the mermaids' plates, how can you think about it. Rather, this trap is too low-level. But even if it's a trap, she has to break through, it's one thing to make a detour too troublesome, and it's not necessarily who is the hunter and who is the prey.
Chen Motong approached gently, and the person in front seemed to have discovered her, and turned around in horror, revealing a pear blossom with rain...... Well, there's nothing to see underwater. Chen Motong knew this guy, and he was the maid who was in charge of taking care of her daily life and was also one of the monitors.
When the latter saw her, it was like seeing a savior, and he leaned over with a saved face. Chen Motong looked at her expressionlessly, and gently buttoned the Colt python with a silencer in his hand. The silencer minimizes the movement of the pistol's fire, and the maid who has been reunited for a long time dies silently.
The power of the Colt python transformed from the EVA terminal is naturally far from ordinary, but to Chen Motong's surprise, the MV can actually make the muffler, and the effect is far beyond her imagination. With this, when she encounters an undersea guard who really can't dodge, she will hide and shoot a black gun, and she has tried and tested repeatedly. Although the recoil of the Colt python is not small, it is much better than the unreasonable Gatling.
Swimming over gently, Chen Motong looked at the dead maid with disdain. Blue scales were sticking out of her bare skin, and the two long legs under her lace white dress were stacked on top of each other as if they were comminuted fractures, as if they were turning towards a tail.
Chen Motong admitted that he was a little frightened, the mystery of the birth of the mermaid seemed to be explained, and those beautiful but bloodthirsty sea spirits seemed to be transformed from equally beautiful women. They are beautiful on land, but they are still beautiful when they fall into the sea.
She couldn't help but look up, a large number of mermaids swaying their long tails in the sea, and there was an underwater show in the water that the top aquarium could not perform. They are abnormally beautiful, and they must be beauties that will cause countless people to look back at them in the outside world. And such a beauty, in such an unknown sea, is biting the corpse that fell from the sea. And maybe they were part of the corpses waiting to be eaten, or maybe they were before that......
……
"Hey, what did you say you knew about these guys?" Fingal put Gatling away and looked behind him at Caesar, whose face turned pale.
Caesar's face was pale, and his whole body trembled a little, he gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "Literally, I said I knew them." ”
Fingal fell silent, even if he had a big nerve, he knew that now was not the time to talk about it. He took a picture of a mermaid's face in relative condition, searched it in the terminal's built-in database, and soon got results. Looking at the face as beautiful as the mermaid in front of him and the surname on the suffix of his name, he also frowned together.
"These guys...... It was transformed from human beings. He explained to Chu Zihang and Susie, "Her file has been recorded in the Executive Department, and she is an official commissioner registered in the Roman branch, that is, a member of the Gattuso family. Her file shows that her whereabouts were unknown during an operation. ”
Susie couldn't believe it and asked, "Are these all these?" ”
Fingal, who took pictures back and forth to confirm it, shook his head: "Some are not, but I found some similar faces...... On some missing person notices. ”
In addition to the various materials of the Executive Department, there are also some unresolved examples that are believed to be related to dragons. One of them...... Or rather, a series of missing women. Among them, the earliest missing person notices can even be traced back to the era of black and white photos.
