If there is any benefit to crossing the adult fish, it is probably that there is hardly any ugly existence in the universal sense in this race.
Or charming, or charming, or handsome, or masculine... Although this race is cruel and violent on the inside, their appearance is perfect and can't find any flaws.
Maybe the author who wrote the fairy tale "The Mermaid" has really seen the mermaid, but he only glimpsed the beauty of the mermaid leaning on the reef, but he never heard how many resentful souls are still echoing in that sea area.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaokui twitched the corners of his mouth.
Maybe she can consider becoming a cartoonist in the future, specializing in drawing mermaids.
There is probably no mermaid drawn by anyone in the world that is closer to reality than her.
While thinking wildly in her mind, Zhao Xiaokui refreshed the web page with her mobile phone. A lot of things have happened in the past five years, and she needs to know about it.
She lowered her head and played with her mobile phone, walking like a prophet, and her body automatically avoided a girl who was playing with her best friend on the road.
When she was in high school, she was very slippery while walking and playing with her mobile phone. She was able to automatically avoid various buildings. After crossing the deep sea, this skill point has reached a new level - the mermaid's perception of ocean currents, although it is slightly in the air. Weakened, but only for walking, it is more than enough to almost kill a chicken with a knife.
In fact, she can receive far more information than that.
For example, now she knows that across the pedestrian street nearly 100 meters away from her, two girls walking in the shadows playing with their arms are crazy about the new dynamic of their idols. The two seemingly expressionless people are actually His tone was excited like a squirrel entering the barn; and at a further street intersection, a dog-walking shit shovel officer was desperately pulling the leash, trying to hold his husky, who was trying to run for freedom; In the clothing store she just passed by, the proprietress was persuading a hesitant girl to pay, and the girl's best friend, who was taunting her, sent the message "Too expensive! At least half the price online!"...
Zhao Xiaokui stopped.
"Do you have a life jacket, a swimming ring, or a tire if you don't have it, the girl looks like she can't hold it..."
"Don't be afraid, girl, don't panic, someone will come to save you soon!"
"It's a sin, the couple quarreled, the man pushed the woman down, it was a murder..."
Someone fell into the river, and enthusiastic citizens are actively rescuing them.
Hearing that someone had called the fire department, Zhao Xiaokui was no longer curious and was about to walk over.
This river is not big, about ten meters wide, and the water is not deep, with an average of two or three meters.
At most two sips of water.
Eighteen-year-old Zhao Xiaokui can push a bicycle and carry a schoolbag to join in the fun, but twenty-three-year-old Zhao Xiaokui just wants to go home early.
She quickly passed behind the crowd of onlookers. The short bridge was full of people eating melons. When she passed a gap, she turned her head and glanced at the place where she fell into the water.
She turned her head and didn't turn back, instead she pushed away the crowd around the bridge. She didn't see any movement from her, and she pushed away the big man with the blue dragon and white tiger tattooed on his arms.
"Help me get the bag."
"Ah, ah?"
The girl onlookers who was suddenly stuffed with something hadn't reacted yet. Zhao Xiaokui had already propped up on the railing with one hand, flipped through the bridge deck, and jumped into the water neatly.
At this time, the enthusiastic elder brother who was about to go into the water to save people just took off his shirt.
"Someone jumped off!"
The onlookers exclaimed.
Zhao Xiaokui sank into the water under the action of gravity.
As she expected, the water was not deep, and the place where she entered the water was not deliberately selected, about two or three meters.
She stepped on the bottom of the river full of sand and gravel with her toes and waved her arms. She didn't stick her head out to look at the girl's direction like an ordinary person, but went straight to the girl who fell into the water like a sharp arrow. And go.
Even without the fish tail, back in the water, she is still flexible like a mermaid.
She swam a long distance underwater, and when she emerged from the water, she was already beside the drowning girl.
Some people did not notice the process of her entering the water, and were startled by her sudden appearance.
The girl who fell into the water obviously couldn't swim, and she fluttered with her hands and feet in the water, barely keeping her nose and mouth floating outside.
Enthusiastic people kept giving her suggestions to let her relax, so that her body could float in the water and reduce physical exertion, but when people panic, they are often irrational.
What's more, behind her, there is another "person" pulling her.
Water ghost.
It is common in all kinds of ghosts in Liaozhaizhiyi and folklore.
In the summer, my grandmother used it to frighten Zhao Xiaokui, who tried to secretly go to the river to play with water on her back.
But the little girl who has always been braver than the sky never believed it.
However, in the mermaid world, I have seen records of similar creatures in books.
The so-called water ghosts, although they are called ghosts, are not ghosts in the actual sense, but a collection of the resentment of those who died in the water.
This collective has no wisdom, only instinct, only the hatred and resentment of the drowning against the living.
It may take thousands of years for life to be born in this aggregate, but in the world of mermaids, the possibility is too small, because this special creature that only exists in the waters of ordinary human settlements is too It is too weak, and sometimes the breath of an extraordinary person passes by, and it is possible to disperse it.
When Zhao Xiaokui still remembered which book he didn't know created by famous fish, the other party also sighed, saying that he had found traces of water ghosts in more than ten places, but only one water ghost was being distributed uncontrollably by him. The force stayed before it died.
It sounds like the water ghost is very vulnerable.
But that is an extraordinary world... Although Zhao Xiaokui has never seen more human-shaped intelligent creatures other than mermaids, she has seen the entire sea area separated by the wave of the high priest. An existence that is not worth mentioning to the extraordinary may be an incomprehensible horror to ordinary people.
Zhao Xiaokui is not a virgin, but she can't watch a poor girl die in front of her when she has the ability.
So she jumped off.
Her arrival made the water ghost seem a little restless.
Although there is no intelligence, it is the common nature of all living things to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Zhao Xiaokui made it feel threatened.
This water ghost seems to have been born in this water for some time, and may have strangled other people. Therefore, although it is fearful, its instinctive hatred for the living still tells it to haunt the girl and refuse to let it go.
Zhao Xiaokui took the girl's arm, looked down slightly, stared at the water surface, her voice was very low: "Go—"
The invisible vibration spread in the air, wrapped around the girl's body, and her hair like seaweed suddenly turned into powder and scattered.
Zhao Xiaokui raised his eyebrows, surprised by his deterrent power.
This water ghost was weaker than she thought.
In other words, she was stronger than she thought.
She thought she could only drink back the water ghost.
You must know that although in the records, the water ghost is a creature of no rank, but in the deep sea, as a mermaid who has just grown up, Zhao Xiaokui's own rank has only just reached one rank.
And the mermaids who have grown up at the same time as her, almost all have a second- or third-order level as soon as they become adults.
That's why she thought of suicide, not running away, before the bar mitzvah.
What can a first-order mermaid do? Even if you read two more books and have a little more brains than other mermaids, in the face of absolute power, you are nothing.
The next thing becomes easier.
Without the interference of water ghosts, the river was Zhao Xiaokui's home ground, and she easily brought the girl to the shore.
At this time, the ambulance and the fire department had just arrived.
The girl was in a coma. The fire fighters pulled the girl out of the water. The doctor who got out of the ambulance quickly picked her up and began to rescue her.
Zhao Xiaokui climbed up behind, and just after landing, a towel was covering her head.
"Oh girl, wipe it off, be careful you catch a cold..."
The enthusiastic aunt didn't wait for her to refuse, she wiped the water for her, and Zhao Xiaokui was a little dumbfounded.
I don't know who called and someone came to the rescue, and suddenly there was applause from all around, which startled her.
"Good job!"
"Heroine!"
"Beauty is amazing!"
The little girl who had been stuffed with her bag and sunglasses earlier also rushed over from the other side with her bag in one hand and her shoes in the other.
His small face was full of excitement, his eyes were sparkling, and he looked like a little fan girl.
"Sister, your bag and shoes."
Zhao Xiaokui brushed her hair with her hand, took the things over, and said thanks.
Seeing the media carrying cameras and microphones rushing in this direction, Zhao Xiaokui's complexion changed slightly when he thought that he was still an artist. Regardless of the voice of others asking for his name, he shoved the towel into Auntie's hand and got into the crowd. , just leave.
The fire truck was parked on the side of the road not far away. Zhao Xiaokui glanced at a man who seemed to be on the phone beside the fire truck, and quickly looked away.
A rankless human who is only slightly stronger than a water ghost... Don't pay too much attention.
She lowered her head, put on her sunglasses again, listened to the re-planned navigation, and continued to follow.
The clothes were wet, and others might not feel comfortable, but Zhao Xiaokui felt very comfortable, as if wearing a coat that couldn't be more fitted.
It was just not long after she was away from the crowd that she suddenly felt that something was wrong—
pain.
The moment her toes landed, her mind suddenly received a severe pain like walking on the tip of a knife.
what happened
Cold sweat fell like rain in an instant, her hand grabbed the street tree, and her round and beautiful nails digged deeply into the bark.
A black car slowly stopped beside her, and a woman in high heels walked to her side, frowning and asked, "Are you uncomfortable?"
Zhao Xiaokui's vision was a little blurry, but he still recognized that the person was Shen Zhifei.
Is she following me
This thought flashed in her mind, and before she fell into darkness, she said, "Don't... go to the hospital!"
