4 Chapter IV
If you find a human to evaluate the current scene, you have to say something weird.
On a sunny afternoon in the middle of summer, the bed curtains on all sides were tightly drawn, and the room was dark.
In the middle of the living room is a slime-like lazy water sofa, on which sits a snow-white mermaid.
The mermaid's tail hovered lazily beside him, his eyes glowing blue in the darkness, and his face was cold, as if this was not a lazy sofa, but his throne under the sea.
In the next second, the corners of the mermaid's eyes were red, and a trace of water vapor accumulated under his eyes, and then he-
Holding the crisper box, staring at the dead fish's eyes, and dropping small pearls into the box.
- Unfortunately, all that witnessed all this in front of me was a little cat with golden cat's eyes curled up in the gap in the corner cabinet.
Hiss.
It's spicy.
Qi Zhichen felt that the Tianling cover was about to be overturned by the onion.
The onion on the side is indifferent and conscientiously exudes its unique and charming aroma.
Transparent tears accumulated under his eyes, and a layer of mist slowly covered his eyes, and he blinked his reddened eyes at the moment when the liquid could not bear the weight of the fall.
The moment the tears that broke out of the eye sockets condensed into water droplets in the air, it was as if some wonderful chemical reaction had occurred, and white crystals gushed out from inside, quickly turning the transparent water droplets into round white pearls.
Bang bang bang.
Accompanied by large beads and small beads falling...... The sound of the crisper box, the white mermaid teardrops with a strange halo slowly accumulated, the size was about the same as ordinary pearls, but the texture was very special and extremely transparent.
Qi Zhichen distributed the onion that had completed the mission to the kitchen trash can, summoned a wisp of water to wash his face and hands, and then carefully looked at the mermaid teardrops that were almost at the bottom of the fresh-keeping box.
According to the knowledge in memory, pearls will be dyed with different colors for different emotions, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple are freely matched, but there is no mention of white.
Of course, no mermaid has ever teased tears with onions before.
Onion didn't expect to be used for this kind of thing in his life.
He played with the round little pearl for a while, according to the knowledge in his memory, this little pearl not only looks good, but also seems to have a very strong healing ability, both internal and external use, which can be called a beauty and life-saving product, upgrade the plusPro version of pearl powder.
Closing the crisper box, this box of precious small white pearls was put into the ...... by Qi Zhichen Refrigerator freshness, two chubby green peppers and an overripe tomato as neighbors.
As he closed the refrigerator door, he caught a glimpse of a small layer of ash accumulating on the sidelines and decided to use the abilities of the current race to add convenience and color to his life.
In short, it is to use the mermaid's strong water control ability to clean up.
Although in memory, mermaids use their ability to control water to fight, they can set off a monstrous tsunami, they can turn into invisible water blades, and they can even control the water in other people's bodies, so as to achieve the power of one enemy and one hundred, one fish as a pass, and ten thousand fish cannot be opened.
But the ability can not only be used for a large extent, but also for a small use, take a look at his lazy water sofa, and the latest initial beta version of the water wave vacuum cleaner all-in-one machine -
Like the water flowing from the limbs, they are extremely obedient, they burrow into the corners and crevices that are usually difficult to clean, roll up the dust in them, and wave their hands without leaving a trace of water.
It was just perfect!
Qi Zhichen's obsessive-compulsive disorder, which was not obvious, was extremely satisfied.
He leaned leisurely against the stream of water he had created, and walked slowly around the kitchen.
I saw that everywhere the water went, the original new and old old stains were all clean, and even the cat uncle who passed by was washed and dry cleaned, and the whole cat was confused in his eyes.
Wow, you can actually wash cats!
Qi Zhichen's eyes lit up.
He thought to himself that after trying out the human race code in the future, he could completely turn back into a mermaid from time to time and wash a cat by the way.
In this way, there is no need to poke a few more knives at the already unstable father-son relationship every time you wash the cat.
Thinking of this, Qi Zhichen was in a good mood, and for a while, he couldn't suppress the mermaid's yearning for singing, and hummed a song quietly.
He still remembered that his five notes were incomplete, and he didn't sing the melodies he had heard, but he just hummed the unfinished minor tunes at random according to the mermaid's nature.
Strange energy clings to the sound waves, spreading out like ripples in all directions, layer upon layer, slowly, as if intertwined into a ...... used by spiders to hunt Net.
Qi Zhichen, who was immersed in the happy cleaning, didn't notice the peculiarity of the sound for a while.
With Qi Zhichen's community as the center, the sound waves gradually spread into the distance.
The first to be affected were the stray cats downstairs.
The big orange who was basking in the sun with his belly was confused, and he let out a long meow, and ran up dunden, every inch of fat on his body was shaking.
Behind it, two little oranges followed in three steps and two drops, followed by a tanuki cat, three three-flowered cats with a random color distribution, and two small male cats that looked messy......
In addition to stray cats and dogs, there are also parrots raised by the uncle nearby, lop-eared rabbits that poop beans while grazing, hamsters that suddenly stop being thrown away while running on a roller, and a small turtle that crawls out of a centimeter for half a day -
They all seemed to be attracted by something, and they all looked in the same direction.
And the last to be affected is a small percentage of humans.
Most of the people in the community where Qi Zhichen lives are young people, and the afternoon of a weekday is the time to work, and there are basically not many people in the range of the nearer, and the farther ones, as the sound spreads away, the effect is much lower.
Even so, it has caused some ...... Special effects.
The clerk in the apron in the milk tea shop is trying to beat the lemon, the college student walking the dog on the side of the road is dragged by the dog and runs wildly, men, women, old and young, almost everyone, more or less, their hearts are suddenly moved.
It's like a carrot to a white rabbit, a dried fish to a kitten, and a kind of longing from the depths of the soul is suddenly aroused.
Those who were less affected shook their heads and ignored the slightest abnormality, and those who were affected were affected for a while had the urge to rush in a certain direction desperately.
Fortunately, this impromptu little song didn't last long.
The entangled cat uncle interrupted the mermaid's unwitting "hunt".
Uncle Cat, who was originally cold and looked down on all beings, was like smoking catnip at this time, holding Qi Zhichen's big tail and scratching, sucking and gnawing, as if he had drunk fake wine.
Where had Qi Zhichen seen this kind of battle, and his flattered mood only lasted for a second, and he sensed that something was wrong.
More knowledge about the mermaid's ability to control voices has been dug out of memory.
Although the knowledge about race in Qi Zhichen's mind is comprehensive and always exists, it is more like an all-purpose search engine, and sometimes he has to take the initiative to think about this aspect in order to gain more knowledge.
For example, he now learned that, given the merfolk's naturally ferocious nature, even a tune that was hummed unconsciously without any command could be classified as a means of hunting.
These sound waves blend with the mermaid's power, and as the sound waves ripple out, they form a net that the merfolk use to hunt.
Those who are not firm in their minds, or who are weak in their resistance to spiritual attacks, or who have strong ambitions and paranoid desires, are more susceptible.
What happens to prey that is hunted?
Throwing himself into the hunter's net, of course.
Qi Zhichen immediately closed his mouth.
As soon as the sound stopped, the cat uncle who was rubbing his tail suddenly exploded with his tail hair, and the cat's eyes glared, and the next second accompanied by a long "meow" sound, turning into a black shadow and disappearing.
Qi Zhichen: "......"
Qi Zhichen has a very good mentality.
He also analyzed it, and it seems that this sound wave does not have a big impact on the spirit of the creature, as long as the sound stops, it can almost return to normal.
He cautiously drifted to the window, lifted the corner of the curtain, poked his head out, and looked down.
A group of cats and dogs were scattering, and in the distance, there seemed to be three or two pedestrians who were about to come over, but they all stopped in place.
In the two or three minutes of homemade ditty, the only victim was probably the rhubarb next door who was scratched by a cat on the way to retreat.
Fortunately, it didn't cause any big trouble.
Qi Zhichen just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn around, when suddenly, the door of the house was smashed three times in a row.
The reason why it is said to be slamming the door is because the people outside the house do not look like they knock on the door normally, but more like a delirious drunk man banging his head on the door.
"Bang-knock-"
Qi Zhichen put down the curtain and was slightly stunned.
The merfolk's special perception tells him that there is a ...... outside the house that has been completely caught by him Prey.
In other words, in the sonic hunting that can be called the mermaid kindergarten internship drill in just a few minutes, there was really a big man who was caught.
The captor is completely mentally attracted to the predator, and will automatically approach the predator and obey the predator.
This is also a rare thing, as for Qi Zhichen's incomplete song, the temptation is low, and the distance is farther, the loss is greater.
Unless the person has a huge mental hole or a very poor mental state, there is a very low probability of success.
Qi Zhichen thought to himself, which party is this unlucky?
But fortunately, even if he was really captured, as long as he untied the spiritual capture in time, it would not have any effect on the body and mind of this poor little prey.
Qi Zhichen had already begun to wonder if he should get some pearl powder to compensate for this poor little disaster, he was carried by the current and floated to the door, opening the door a small crack.
The delirious prey outside the door lay on the door like a besieging zombie, and as soon as the door opened, he stumbled against the door frame and almost fell straight in.
Qi Zhichen almost wanted to go up and help him, but at the moment, he saw this little pitiful face clearly.
It's familiar.
Qi Zhichen has a special ability, he is particularly sensitive to human faces, even if he has only seen one or two faces, he can accurately identify them in the crowd.
It's just that his own social circle is too narrow, and the person in front of him is neither a teacher, nor a classmate, nor a courier brother who once had a one-sided relationship, a takeaway brother, and a milk tea shop brother-
Qi Zhichen waved his hand and rolled up his mobile phone with a stream of water.
He clicked on the browser and flipped to a piece of news a few days ago, and as soon as he entered, the top of the news was posted with a two-inch photo of the poor little prey bareheaded.
Below is your name, age, brief personal information, and a $10,000 bounty.
The bounty is not much, and as for the sin committed—
Although it is not murder and arson, it is also very bad in nature, which makes countless people hate it.
According to incomplete statistics, this wanted criminal named Zhang Tao gnawed the graduation theses of hundreds of classmates of the Agricultural University of this city in just one month, and stole hundreds of mice that the medical university had worked so hard to raise.
Not only that, but this person also stole countless gold and silver jewelry, then melted it into a large gold nugget and sent it back, opened all the barrels of instant noodles in the supermarket, stole the seasoning packets, and then sealed the opening with glue.
He also selectively stole several durians in the supermarket, and the remaining durians that were not stolen in the end were also confirmed, and all the durians that were prescribed were durian candies.
Qi Zhichen: "......"
I didn't quite understand, but I was shocked.
