Chapter 3 Smooth Landing
When I woke up, I judged by the moon that it was already three o'clock in the morning, and I found myself standing outside the water tank. Rubbing my eyes with my paws, I began to hear the snoring of Ah Zhen's family outside the door. Later, I gradually realized that it was the strange turtle food that caused the bubbles in the water that I "ride" to surface and fall to the floor, but no one knew about it.
I shook the drops of water on my body, and the moon was now big and bright, shining through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and I saw my own shadow on the ground—the shell was flattened, and the head was raised high so as not to feel inferior, and the spine in the middle was raised into a beautiful curve. I have to say, it's a bit imposing! I know it's unlikely to go back to the tank, but I'm a half-water turtle, and no one can judge what my life on land can become. It's up to me to decide and it's so nice to be in charge of my own destiny!
I crawled forward, and although the blue of the scales sometimes appeared in my dreams, I had gradually forgotten about it, and the floor made a "gurgling" sound as I crawled forward. If I had been lying on my knees on the ground, and had not dared to make a sound, I thought, not only would my master be disgruntled for not being able to find me, but I would also be starved to death sooner or later.
Fortunately, the special turtle food invested by the owner can last for a long, long time. My stomach is full, however, I have found that since I have eaten it myself, it has two functions. First, I can see the composition of each item, and if I stare at them, I can also see the molecular formula inside; Second, my "time" seems to have shortened, my eyes can see things smaller than ordinary turtles, so I walk longer than I actually do, and if I see a moonlight on the floor less than ten meters away, I will crawl over it in twice the normal time. Everything is just because you can see these microcosms.
According to the theory of relativity, we can deduce that if small things become bigger in your eyes, then it means that you are actually shrinking relative to the world...... Isn't that enough? From the time I was born to the present, from parasitic in the belly of the Chinese sturgeon to being raised, I have never thought to care about my body. But now, it's actually my vision that is zooming in, and I'm shrinking!
No, I thought about it and suddenly felt a little scary. I was able to shrink into a bubble just now, how could this be, shrink a little bit in a few days! I'm going to grow up, I can't let this magic pill control my life, I can live for a long time, and my ultimate dream is to live in a river, or a sea.
However, at this moment, the fiberglass next to him lit up blue again, and the shape of a Chinese sturgeon flashed on it, and a string of symbols that only marine life could understand were lined up below: I am a freshwater fish.
Oh, my God! How will the water tank know what I think. So, I didn't expect that I had a third function, my thoughts would be projected on the items at home at any time, as long as the surface of the item flashed blue, it proved that my question would appear out of thin air! How amazing it is that I now know where I am going - the place I want to return to is a certain river.
I lowered my head and pondered for a while, but after a few minutes, I felt hazy in my sleep, and in the meantime, there seemed to be a painting faintly emerging from the blue light on the floor, and this painting was very strange, with squares and circles, and some pictures of irregular shapes. I shook my head, trying to keep myself awake. Later, I gradually salvaged a fact from the only memory I had when I first entered this house.
This is the floor plan of Ah Zhen's house.
