The surrounding dark glass seemed to be slowly approaching.
Ge Xiu was inexplicably short of breath, and the water flowed rapidly between his throats, but it did not relieve this strange suffocation and oppression at all.
This feeling is unfamiliar and familiar... It seems to have happened when, but he can't remember at all.
The pain he had experienced before struck again, like a red-hot steel needle, stirring vigorously in the depths of his mind.
Ge Xiu's eyes were a little slack, he barely maintained his sanity, and searched for the relevant symptoms in his mind.
Is it claustrophobia
His memory before he was imprisoned was blank, and he didn't know anything about himself.
However, claustrophobia is a kind of fear and anxiety about closed spaces. If you really have this symptom, you should have committed it in that closed cell. Why did you delay it until now...
The next second, the needle-like pain struck again, overwhelming him like an overwhelming sea. The torture that seemed to act purely on the mental body was even more terrifying than the pain in the previous world.
The wall is slowly approaching.
Ge Xiu's eyes widened, and he felt that his reason was quickly withdrawing.
His body was struggling subconsciously in the narrow coffin-like space. The sharp nails scratched the glass with an unbearable screeching sound, which was amplified by the water and then re-transmitted, cutting his nerves like a blade.
The chatter of several people outside seemed to come from hundreds of kilometers away:
"… what happened?"
"Didn't you faint?"
"It's probably the sway of the boat, don't worry about it."
Through the frantically surging foam in the container, Ge Xiu saw that the white scratches formed a crooked character where he had unconsciously scratched his fingernail just now—
"P".
what happened? What exactly does it mean? Why does my body keep thinking about this letter
Countless questions filled Ge Xiu's mind. This confusion and confusion were replaced by pent-up anger. He seemed to lose control in an instant, clenched his fists subconsciously, and used all his strength to hit the crooked grasper heavily. mark-
"Kara" "Kara".
Cobweb-like fine lines spread from the place where it was hit hard, making a screeching sound that exceeded the load. Then, in the next second, the heavy water pressure broke through the weak glass, and the entire glass wall was smashed. Overwhelmed, it shattered open, and the water rushed out with Ge Xiu's body wrapped around it.
Suddenly bright light swayed above his head, the remaining water stains wrapped his long seaweed-like hair around his cheeks and neck, and countless chaotic and noisy voices came from all directions—
"God, what's the matter with this mermaid?"
"So energetic, I've never seen a mermaid before"
"Quick, quick! Bring the anesthesia injection!"
Countless words rushed into his mind, and the huge amount of information was washed away before it could even be processed.
The only good thing is that the moment of leaving that water tank, that oppressive suffocation finally disappeared.
Ge Xiu took a breath and was about to stand up, but the next second he got up, he fell back to the ground heavily.
He raised his head in astonishment and looked at his lower body with hindsight.
The position where the two legs were originally was now replaced by a long, blue-purple fish tail. The hard and smooth scales on it shimmered with colorful luster in the light, and at the bottom was the pearly white tail fin, which spread out in a fan shape. , flapping in the puddles on the ground as his mind changed.
This... This is...
Before Ge Xiu could do anything, he felt the hard needle pierce the skin on the back of his neck. Accompanied by slight pain, cold liquid rushed into his body quickly, and the feeling of dizziness struck instantly.
Everything around him seemed to be shaking, and the blurred outlines were almost scattered into the surrounding glare, and were divided into two or three abstract silhouettes.
Ge Xiu heard the voice coming from the depths of his memory.
Unable to identify the specific content, but he captured three or two key words very keenly—
"Pandora's Project".
- "P".
Immediately afterwards, everything sank into endless darkness.
I don't know how long it took.
Ge Xiu moved his eyelids and struggled to wake up from the sluggish coma - his vision seemed to have not recovered, the surroundings were still blurry, but he could already see the light blue water fluctuations.
This is not the cramped, dark shipping box it used to be.
Ge Xiu made a quick judgment.
He closed his eyes again and waited for the residual effect of the medicine to pass, and then began to observe the environment he was in now.
Here is a huge and luxurious fish tank.
The aquatic plants and pebbles are laid out as beautiful shapes, with artificial traces everywhere, and the top of the water is covered with a layer of special glass, so that the viewer can see everything in the water clearly from the top of the fish tank.
"He's awake!"
An excited voice sounded from the top of his head, Ge Xiu raised his head, and through the swaying water waves, he saw a young man's face facing him upright, even a handsome face slightly twisted with excitement, a pair of gray-blue His eyes looked at him frantically, clinging to his skin like a cold snake, the kind of sight that seemed to be examining his own possessions, which made people feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
A squat man stood aside and smirked in a pleasing manner:
"Grand Duke, you see, I said he would wake up, it may just be that the dose of anesthesia is not enough..."
The Grand Duke ignored him, still staring at the mermaid in the pool fascinatedly, his eyes filled with an almost morbid excitement, he murmured: "It's so beautiful..."
It does.
A mermaid was lying among the rippling blue water waves, and the long blue-purple hair spread out like seaweed, swaying gently with the swaying of the water, covering the moving outline from the shoulders to the collarbone. His upper body is human-shaped, his cool white skin seems to glow in the water, and the huge fish tail on his lower body is quietly coiled between the rocks, as bright and smooth as a spar.
That face is even more like a creation in mythology, so magnificent that it has even blurred gender. His eyes are the same color as his hair, and through the sparkling water, there is a thrilling and terrifying beauty, and he looks at it with an almost innocent look. the surrounding environment.
Although all the mermaids are beautiful, even he has never seen them so beautiful.
The archduke uncontrollably quickened his breathing, his eyes greedily shaving every inch of the mermaid's skin.
That's right! Only such a beautiful creature is worthy of being your own collection!
He turned his head to look at the chunky businessman who was waiting anxiously behind him, and commented in a good mood: "Well, you didn't lie, this is indeed the most beautiful mermaid I've ever seen."
The businessman nodded hurriedly, his expression also excited: "Of course! I dare not deceive you even if I have ten courage! It is the first time I have seen such a superb product in so many years since I went to sea, which is better than what I have salvaged. All fish need to be beautiful! There are hardly any flaws! And he is very energetic, and this is the first one to wake up on his own while in transit and burst through the tank..."
However, before the merchant could finish his self-promotional boasting, the Archduke interrupted him with great impatience:
"Okay, okay... I just want to know, how is his singing?"
The businessman was instantly stuck, and he hesitated for a long time before he could say a few meaningless syllables: "This... this..."
"What's wrong?" The Grand Duke raised his eyebrows, his expression a little gloomy.
The businessman considered his words carefully and said carefully: "That... Actually, when I caught him, I was too excited to hear his voice..."
"What??" The Grand Duke's eyes turned cold: "The value of mermaids lies in their singing voice. You know this better than me, right?"
He became anxious: "I will hold a banquet in three days, and even His Majesty the Emperor will come when the time comes. I have been showing off in front of other nobles for a long time before, it must sing on that day, or my face It's all gone!"
The merchant hurriedly explained:
"Don't worry! Although I haven't had time to test his singing voice, I assure you of his character! There is absolutely nothing wrong with his vocal cords! And, you see, how can a mermaid like this have a bad voice? !"
The Grand Duke followed the direction of the merchant's finger and looked into the fish tank. When his eyes came into contact with the face of the mermaid, he couldn't help but be stunned by his beauty.
He reluctantly accepted the businessman's words and nodded: "Well, I'll let my trainer try his voice, but if it doesn't sound good..."
"Yes yes yes..." The businessman nodded and bowed: "I must be responsible!"
Several people turned and walked away from the pool, and the sound of conversation gradually faded away.
Ge Xiu stayed quietly at the bottom of the pool, his mind was running fast, digesting the information he had obtained so far.
First of all, the level of technology in this world is obviously much higher than that in the previous world. Whether it was the anesthetic injection at the beginning or the camera running above the fish tank, this can be shown. However, according to the conversation between the two just now The titles that appear, "Grand Duke", and "Emperor", again show that the world is a hierarchical monarchy.
As for my identity...
Ge Xiu's gaze moved to his lower body, he sighed, and a string of transparent bubbles spit out from his mouth, rushing towards the top of the water.
Probably the mermaid didn't run away.
Moreover, it is inferred from their conversation just now that the creatures like mermaids are probably of low status. Their looks and singing voices are playthings for the nobles to show off and compare. Although they are precious and rare, they are only accessories and pets in the end.
However, I have to say... The feeling of swimming in the water is quite novel.
Ge Xiu swayed his tail unfamiliarly, and clumsily groped for a way to swim in the water. The surrounding seaweed was swayed by the current, and the water bubbles spit out from his mouth rippled with the layers of water waves, rippling from the depths of the fish tank. to the water.
When he finally mastered the knack of moving in the water, a series of heavy footsteps came from a distance, walking towards the fish tank from far to near.
Ge Xiu stepped back slightly, and subconsciously hid most of his body behind the rock, then looked up.
A tall, stout man with an ordinary face squatted down by the pool, his face was blurred by the shaking water, but his emotionless eyes, as if examining objects, went straight through the water and stuck to Ge Xiu's. body.
He also seemed to be taken aback by the face of the mermaid in front of him, but soon calmed down again. He took out a strangely shaped tool from behind, dark and slender like a whip, with thorns on it. Tiny spikes with a bright red button on the handle.
The man slowly wrapped the whip-shaped thing around his hand, and then said:
"Can you understand me? Mermaid?"
