Chapter XXIII. There is a providence in the dark (5200 words chapter)

(1) Little Colorful's final self-statement

This is the third week since I returned to Fengtian City.

In the past three weeks, Sister Mengzhu and I have tried all means, but we have never been able to get the brain waves of the big puffer fish to replace. We guard the "flesh" of the big puffer fish (what a ridiculous adjective, I always thought that this kind of thing only happened in mythological stories). However, this was the case at the time, and the large puffer fish lay quietly in bed every day. Looking at us, but his expression was always another creature) and the poor squirrel. Helpless.

We have tried to repurpose the superflow device to affect the brain waves of squirrels and large pufferfish. But sadly, it didn't work out. We don't know what went wrong, and this high-tech product from the future is never something that modern people can grasp.

Even......

We tried to use ourselves as a carrier to connect the super-flow device with the transposed puffer fish and squirrels, but the result was very futile.

Gradually, we gave up.

We watched over the squirrel all day long, and lived like a year.

I think. Maybe this is a test for me and Sister Mengzhu. We don't know how long it will take for the big puffer fish to come back, and from now on, whether he can return to his original appearance, but my feelings for him and Sister Mengzhu have never changed!

Yes!

Two weeks after this happened. I began to deeply understand Sister Mengzhu's feelings about the big pufferfish!

In just one week, Sister Mengzhu stayed by the squirrel's bedside every inch, and her long hair, which was originally as black as ink, was now as white as snow.

The skin of her face lost any luster, and wrinkles crept up her face day by day. The worst thing is. Sister Mengzhu refused to eat, looked at the squirrel all day long, and then used the drawing board to draw every detail of the squirrel's different states. Lifelike.

Later, I saw that on Sister Mengzhu's drawing board, the squirrel had disappeared. Instead, there was a hotel, and I saw Zhang Dawei and the big pufferfish, I thought, that was where they first met, but maybe Sister Mengzhu didn't think that after several reincarnations, she would actually cycle in this way.

Could it be that from now on, she and the big puffer fish will meet again. Do you have to use a sketchpad to do it?

That squirrel, every time he saw Sister Mengzhu drawing, he would lie on the bed very well-behaved, wagging his tail, and there seemed to be a lot of things to say in his eyes. But he couldn't put into words what was really in his heart. Perhaps for the big pufferfish, this is a very sad thing.

Finally......

Sister Mengzhu's hair is all white. There was always bloodshot in her eyes, I thought if time could be turned back, would Sister Mengzhu release all the emotions that she had been suppressing in her heart in an instant? Will she say I love you in front of the big pufferfish?

I don't think there's a chance.

At least, at the time of writing, the big puffer fish is still lying on the bed, and he, who has turned into a squirrel, looks at us and occasionally sheds tears. We'll show him the old photos, but it's a pity that after so long, the three of us haven't had a group photo.

We are always busy with all kinds of lives all day long, but we can't even squeeze out a few seconds, and when Sister Mengzhu and I realize at the same time that the value of a group photo at this moment, even more than tens of millions of assets, it is too late to regret it.

These days, my cousin Feng Tiansong, who has been discharged from the hospital, has also come to see the squirrel. After learning the truth of the matter, my cousin did not say a word. stared at the squirrel blankly, and then drank a whole bottle of liquor with more than 50 degrees in one gulp.

I saw that my cousin didn't want to believe that it was true, but he couldn't refute it, so he had to drink all day to drown his sorrows.

…… Hongdong Jiji.

Half a year later, finally, all hopes were completely shattered after repeated attempts.

Again and again we worked with hope, and again and again we felt despair.

And then something happened, and it was even more unbearable for us, that squirrel suddenly died!

That afternoon, it lay quietly in bed, motionless.

It was a sunny afternoon, and its body was lying in bed in a lazy "big" shape. Sister Mengzhu, who had become skinny, drew the lazy form of the squirrel with a paintbrush in her hand against her swollen and severely deformed eye sockets. It is also the form of the last death.

She looks like she was completely different from half a year ago.

At that time, Sister Mengzhu was plumper than now, the muscles on both sides of the jaw bone were extremely well-proportioned, and the side face like a knife was flawless.

But now......

Her hair is snow-white, her whole person is skinny, her skin is not elastic, and she will scare herself when she looks in the mirror in the middle of the night.

I'm better than she is, and my appearance hasn't changed much from what I used to be. On the contrary, perhaps, it has become prettier. Because we eat a lot of nutrients every day, I have been taking care of myself, and this is the day I have been waiting for.

Sister Mengzhu and I are completely different!

She was always preoccupied, looking at the squirrel, and not thinking about it.

I'm stronger than she is, at least, on the outside. But in fact, I have secretly made up my mind.

In the last moments, I want to show my best self to the big puffer fish that has become a squirrel.

I would laugh and play with the squirrel every day, bathe it every day, tell jokes every day, and coax it every day.

I've never cried because I've made up my mind!

There is a deadline for my determination.

That is, when the squirrel dies, I will choose to go to Yellow Springs with it.

Now, I am standing on the seashore closest to Fengtian City, smelling the salty smell of the sea, holding a notebook in my hand, trembling, writing these last words.

In front of me, the endless turquoise water is so beautiful that you forget to breathe.

I walked forward step by step, but I didn't feel the slightest fear.

I think my fears started the moment the big puffer fish turned into a squirrel, and I ran out.

After I confirmed that the big puffer fish was already a squirrel, deep down in my heart, there was no joy or sorrow. I thought back to everything that had happened to the big pufferfish, and I suddenly felt a little regretful.

Because I didn't walk through every girl's most beautiful place all along.

I never put on a snow-white wedding dress, I stood in that place with flowers in my hand, smiling at the big pufferfish.

But I have no regrets.

At this time, the sea water flooded my abdomen, and I felt that the temperature of the cold sea water was not much different from that of my heart, maybe I should not have despaired, but, sorry, my relatives, I could not bear the world without the big pufferfish, just as I stood on the shore and could not breathe.

The sea is about to flood my shoulders.

I saw a huge wave on the opposite side, and with a "boom", it was rushing towards me.

In three or four seconds, I'll be completely overwhelmed. At this time, a man's singing voice suddenly came from behind him, and the lyrics seemed to be familiar, but ...... I don't want to listen to who sings it.

So be it, that's the end of the note.

……

(2) The birth of the super mouse and human love

Next to the rivers of the distant rainforest, there is a species of lizard called the basilisk lizard.

They lived carefree until the outbreak of World War III, when nuclear weapons destroyed their homeland. They are displaced, and in order to survive, they have to challenge the natural world – to change all their habits, and, to go underwater to survive.

These basilisk lizards have elongated toes and the soles of their feet are covered with scales. These can cause bubbles to form, and basilisk lizards can run on the surface of the water with their feet on them. Scientists have previously found that basilisk lizards can generate a large lateral force when running on the surface of the water, which can keep their bodies upright.

In order to adapt to the natural environment, throughout the history of the earth, living organisms have been constantly evolving!

It's the same with lizards!

As the overlord who once ruled the earth during the Jurassic period, dinosaurs (the so-called dinosaur, that is, the translation of the English Dinosauria by Japanese biologists, in fact, another name for dinosaurs: terrifying lizards)

Therefore, in 2097, biologists around the world unanimously concluded that modern lizards, including basilisk lizards, evolved from the dinosaurs of that time!

Evolution is not about getting bigger and bigger!

Rather, in order to adapt to the new environment on Earth and continue to survive, the dinosaurs at that time were not completely extinct!

There are also some dinosaurs that survived the disaster.

As they evolved, they became smaller and their habits changed completely!

Basilisk lizards are like that!

Because of the experience of avoiding disasters during the dinosaur period, after the outbreak of the Third World War, they began a new round of evolution in order to survive!

The evolved basilisk lizard, expressed in the human mind, is one of the ancestors of us super rats.

(Note: Since 2110, global warming has become more and more serious, and if it continues like this, not only will humans be afraid of heat waves, but it will also be a catastrophe for most other living things, and some species may even be extinct.) However, American paleontologists Simon and others believe that there is a group of animals that will gradually prosper in the context of global warming, and they are cold-blooded animals, including lizards.

More than 200 million years ago, most of the planet was hot and humid, from the Antarctic to the Arctic it was tropical, with most of the area covered by tropical rainforests, except for some deserts and deserts. In such a situation, reptiles multiplied rapidly and grew in size, and dinosaurs began to rule the earth. Scientists say that if the Earth we live on continues to heat up, it will become very similar to the Earth 200 million years ago.

Simon not only proves the above conjecture with the evolutionary history of dinosaurs, but also gives new fossil evidence. Simon and others found a monitor lizard fossil in Myanmar. Known as the "Morrison monitor lizard", this lizard is over 3 meters long and weighs more than 30 kilograms. After the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, the tenacious reptiles did not disappear from the earth, but continued to thrive. However, they are getting smaller and smaller, and 40 million years ago, when the earth became hot and humid again, the lizards at that time quickly evolved and became larger, and the Morrison monitor lizard was one of them. However, because this period of hot and humidity did not last long, most monitor lizards later became extinct due to global cooling. Modelling studies show that if this period of global heat and humidity continues for another 20 to 30 million years, dinosaurs are likely to reappear. )

From this, let's use the example of a basilisk lizard.

It is a super creature that can adapt to its environment and evolve continuously.

When the climate is very hot and humid, it evolves into a dinosaur. (Jurassic)

When the climate becomes more suitable for human life, it will evolve into a basilisk lizard (modern)

Therefore, when the Third World War broke out, it evolved into another creature, the sea lizard, and at the same time, it bred with the beaver rats that were mutated by radiation contamination, and gave birth to a new species, the sea lizard rat!

This is a super rat that can breathe freely in the sea, be able to run on the surface of the sea, and at the same time be able to climb along vertical structures with its legs!

Its most powerful weapon is the sea lizard scales that produce bubbles and slime under its feet.

This scale is the main source of running and climbing on the surface of the sea!

But unfortunately, without these scales, even if my brain waves were transposed to humans and to the shell of Wang Jingsi, I would not be able to run wildly on the sea and climb on high-rise buildings as before.

I need a makeover for this! I needed to have surgery on my new body that modern doctors couldn't understand.

I'm going to transform Wang Meditate's body!

……

And after more than half a year of hard work.

Now, I have used sutures and replantation surgery to transform the toes of the new shell into the appearance of a sea lizard.

Fortunately, humans have the habit of wearing socks. So far, no one has been able to see through this secret except Kong Xiangnan. But even if Kong Xiangnan saw the soles of my feet, which were different from normal people, she would not be suspicious.

She trusts me as much as I trust her.

I'm sure even if she knew my true identity, that I was a sea lizard, she would have chosen to be with me.

Human feelings are always abundant, aren't they?

(3) The inner monologue of the sea lizard rat: Is the ending of the love between humans and mice sad or happy?

I asked Kong Xiangnan to come to the beach where we first met.

At that time, it was the first time I successfully transformed Wang Jingsi's body!

I wanted to go into the water to see if my body could do everything a sea lizard rat could do. However, at that moment, I saw Kong Xiangnan, who was about to commit suicide by jumping into the sea.

No one can take their own life at will, not even their own!

The people of this era have not experienced the smoke of the Third World War, so they cannot truly appreciate life in the era of peace, and it should be cherished!

So at that time, I quickly ran to the place where Kong Xiangnan jumped into the sea, I paddled quickly in the water, and finally pulled Kong Xiangnan back from the face of death in a very timely manner.

From that day on, she said she was going to be my girlfriend.

In addition, he also said that he would love me for the rest of his life and marry me in the future.

I have never experienced human love, and I don't think a sea lizard deserves such great affection. However, the appearance of Kong Xiangnan made me unexpectedly taste this incomparably wonderful feeling.

……

Now, I'm going to confess to Kong Xiangnan. But she hasn't come yet, I'm waiting for her.

I think her affection for me should be enough to accept the fact that I'm a sea lizard.

I stood on the beach, looking at the blue water directly in front of me, and the soft sand beneath my feet. Lots of shells are sandwiched near the beach, and occasionally a few seabirds fly overhead, their calls are crisp and loud, full of life!

I love the dynamism!

At this moment, this place was sparsely populated, and a gust of wind was blowing, and for a moment, I really felt that I was no different from a human.

Finally, I saw a woman's figure slowly walking towards this side, her figure was slightly familiar, but it was not Kong Xiangnan. It seems to be the girl nicknamed "Little Colorful"!

I saw her smiling with a notebook in her hand, walking towards the beach and recording something.

Perhaps, she's keeping a diary, right? Or maybe it's prose?

Human beings always have sentimental habits, and I think that girl's feelings for Mr. Jiang should also be very deep. Maybe it's like my feelings for Kong Xiangnan, although I don't know if it's the same.

The girl named Xiao Qicai kept her head down, standing on the beach, and kept writing, judging from the happiness that overflowed the corners of her mouth, I think she may have let go of the fact that Mr. Jiang's brainwave transposition.

I think that's a good thing for her.

It seems that her feelings for Mr. Jiang are not so deep.

I think if it was Kong Xiangnan, if I was gone one day, she would be sad.

What is this psychology of mine? It should be the heart of human comparison. I don't think it's good, but I really can't control it.

At this moment, Kong Xiangnan walked slowly from behind me.

She looks extra happy today, her face seems to be under makeup, and she is more beautiful than before! I even felt a kind of light flickering on her face, was that the light of happy love?

She drew closer to me.

"I have something to say to you." Before I could speak, she said the same thing first.

But I don't think what she wants to say is as important as what I'm telling her today. Because for so long, I haven't lied to her about anything. It's the nature of sea lizards. Kind, frank, and timid, I am also proud of my honest nature.

So I can't keep it hidden. I have to confess!

"Whatever you have to say, I'm going to tell you one thing first." I heard my tone look very serious.

"Alright! You speak first! Kong Xiangnan looked at me and showed a very sweet smile. I think the way she looks is definitely what humans write about women who fall in love.

"Then I said it, but you have to be mentally prepared!"

"Good!"

Before I came, I had already demonstrated everything I wanted to say countless times.

At this point, I just need to explain what happened according to what I thought before I came. But when I got to the point, I lacked courage.

What to do?

Looking up, I saw the girl named Little Colorful. Still smiling, she slowly took off her shoes and began to walk slowly into the water.

Perhaps, she wants to taste the sea with her feet?

It's as comfortable as I feel when I touch the sea with my modified toes.

Perhaps human feet also have a special sense of seawater.

Finally, I mustered up all my courage and explained the matter in detail on and off.

Somewhat unexpectedly, Kong Xiangnan's expression was actually very calm.

I couldn't read anything on her face.

We looked at each other for about three or four seconds.

Kong Xiangnan suddenly said a word, which made the smile on my face suddenly completely condensed.
