Ge Xiu closed his eyes and lay quietly on the rock, his long fish tail curled up in the darkness, his pearly white tail fin swaying slowly in the water waves.
This is the water prison.
In addition to the merfolk who committed the act of hurting people, some mutilated merfolk that were abused and discarded and could not be resold would also be thrown here to survive, waiting for death to come.
The entire water prison was dark and dull, dirty and damp. The water in the pool was lifeless and had not been replaced for a long time, giving off an unpleasant stench.
But Ge Xiu didn't mind that much.
Like air, water is just the medium in which it lives. Whether it was the previous junk star or Calvary, the environment was much more unbearable than it is now.
What he couldn't understand right now was his own state.
It was really impulsive to act on that big duke before. As usual, according to my own habits, I will find out the surrounding environment, the background of the world, the identity of myself and other characters around me, etc., and then I will make a decision based on the current situation. Make a good plan, and finally put it into action—however, this time, the situation is completely different.
He couldn't control the rage that was deep in his heart.
In fact, this kind of violence has always existed, and it has never left.
Ge Xiu knew from the beginning that there is a beast hidden in his heart, longing for excitement and blood stimulation, fascinated by the danger lingering on the edge of life and death, he has always been well controlled, reason and madness are like a pair of twins. Brothers, growing up around each other, so he rarely loses control most of the time, like a calm and shrewd gambler who knows how to get the most out of his traits.
But this time, Ge Xiu was very sure that he really wanted that person's life at that time.
Regardless of the consequences, the gains and losses, the tyrannical beasts broke through the barriers of reason and longed for bloody sacrifices.
So he did that.
From the moment he entered this world, his emotions seemed to have been affected by some indescribable influence - Ge Xiu wasn't sure if the group of people outside had done something, or something else...
But he knew that, whether it was these fish tanks, glass, or the swaying water waves around him, they would arouse inexplicable irritability in his heart.
Ge Xiu curled up quietly, his eyes closed.
The pitch-black water flowed silently around me, and I could hear the tiny sounds in the distance, the splashes of other mermaids when they moved, the cries, and the meaningless babble, but otherwise, it was quiet.
In fact, for him, this place is actually much more comfortable than the big duke's fish tank.
There is no false and unrealistic decoration, and there is no ubiquitous prying and scrutiny, and the uncontrollable desire to destroy before has also disappeared a lot.
At this moment, the stream of water in the ear brought the creaking sound of the heavy iron door opening in the distance.
Clear footsteps pounded on the cold and hard floor, coming from far and near, and finally stopped beside the fish tank.
Then there was a long silence.
Time passed by minute by minute, but the whole space was still surrounded by endless silence, no sound came through the medium flowing around, not even the sound of footsteps leaving.
Ge Xiu frowned, finally opened his eyes, and looked in the direction from which the voice came last.
The light in the water prison was dim, and through the dark and gloomy waters, only a vague silhouette of a man could be seen.
He's tall and broad-shouldered, and just standing quietly in the dark like that can be extremely stressful and aggressive.
The man just stared at the waters that had not yet been illuminated, his face immersed in shadows, making it impossible to speculate on his expressions and emotions, let alone his true intentions.
Ge Xiu narrowed his eyes, his tail swayed gently subconsciously, and the soil deposited on the ground was stirred up and slowly sank.
The irritable and violent emotions rose from the bottom of my heart again.
He slapped the side hard with his powerful tail, a rock the size of a fist swirled in the water, quickly broke the water, rushed towards the man's face, and then smashed hard on the glass in front of him, The strengthened glass did not crack any cracks, but it still made a huge roar accompanied by the vibration of the water flow.
The man was taken aback, as if he did not expect Ge Xiu to react like this.
The attendants and soldiers waiting outside the water prison seemed to be startled by the loud noise, and the chaotic footsteps followed.
There was an almost provocative smile on Gexiu's lips.
"Haha..." The man's fuzzy figure vibrated slightly, and the low and suppressed laughter overflowed from his throat, and then gradually turned into an uncontrollable laughter: "Hahahahahahaha!"
- Ge Xiu did not expect this.
"What happened?" "Your Majesty!" The soldiers had poured into the narrow gate of the water prison at this moment, and the footsteps shook the water surface with tiny splashes. Their worried and panicked exclamations instantly broke the heavy silence here: "Your Majesty, have you...?"
The man's breathless laughter stopped abruptly.
He turned his head to look at the door and looked over. The light shining into it from outside the water prison plated a layer of golden light on his deep profile side face. From Ge Xiu's angle, he could see his high and piercing browbones. With a straight nose, there is a kind of handsomeness that is almost dangerous.
His voice was mixed: "Get out."
All the soldiers were silent for a while, and quickly turned around and retreated out of the water prison, making the place quiet and dark again almost only in the breath.
Ge Xiu quietly watched the scene in front of him.
Your Majesty...
That this is obviously the emperor that the grand duke spoke of before. According to what I saw just now, this emperor is obviously unpredictable and has a lot of power. I just don't know why he came to the water prison this time.
Could it be because the archduke he killed had a close relationship with him? Perhaps preparing to see himself executed
Ge Xiu lowered his eyelids and glanced at his mouth—if the people who created this world of punishment tried to punish him with pain, he would be disappointed, after all, the torture he had to go through every night in the last world was better than Flaying the skin and gouging out the bones, after getting used to that level of pain, no amount of terrible punishment might be of little use to him.
And, to him, death is nothing but a world of punishment.
As for those who bothered to build the world, the look on their faces must be amusing when they see it force-stop before it's been running for a few minutes.
The man standing in front of the isolation glass turned his head again and looked into the dark water.
He raised his hand, pressed the spot where he had just been struck by the stone, and finally spoke-his voice was unexpectedly calm, and even sounded pleasant: "The environment here is not suitable for you."
Um
Ge Xiu raised his head, looked in the direction of the man, and frowned in confusion.
"How much space do you want to have?" the man asked casually: "What color do you like? Do you have any favorite food?"
Uh-huh
Gossi looked at the direction of the man with double confusion.
...isn't this person sick
Seeing that Ge Xiu didn't answer, the man didn't care, he just chuckled softly, and then said to himself: "It doesn't matter if you don't say it, you can change it when you're not satisfied."
After he finished speaking, he withdrew the hand that was on the glass, and then lightly, one by one, he tore off the gloves on his hands and threw them on the ground without pity.
"Don't worry, it shouldn't take too long."
The man glanced at the dark and fuzzy water, then turned and walked in the direction from which he came. The bottom of his thick and hard boots tapped the ground, and the sound of slow and calm footsteps gradually moved away, followed by the creaking of the iron door opening and closing. Finally, the entire water prison once again sank into the previous silence.
Ge Xiu sat up and thought silently in the dark for a while.
He swung his tail and swam towards the glass.
From this angle, you can see where the man was standing just now and where his palms touched. On the ground, a pair of white gloves quietly fell into the soil, and the intricate badges were wrapped with gold threads in the corners.
Ge Xiu frowned and thought for a while, then raised his head again to look at the location of the entrance to the water prison, pondering uncertainly.
What did that person mean just now—
... Could it be that you want to support him
·
Ge Xiu really didn't wait too long.
But after just two days, a familiar smell of anesthetic began to fill the water, and then he couldn't remember anything.
When he woke up, he found that he was no longer in the dark and cold water prison. The water around him was clear and soft, and the warm sunlight above his head poured in through the skylight made of glass, illuminating the entire bottom of the water. The rocks and corals appear to be entirely transplanted directly from the natural seafloor.
The space here is very large, almost three or four times that of the Grand Duke's luxurious pool at the beginning, and all the edges have been cleverly treated, covered with seagrass or other plants and rocks on the bottom of the sea. at the sea.
Ge Xiu wiggled his tail and went upstream.
To his surprise, the surface of the water was not covered with any tempered glass, nor was there any protection.
- He didn't learn any lessons from his former host at all.
Or too confident to tame him
Ge Xiu leaned his upper body out of the water, and the clear water droplets fell down from the top of his hair, the wet blue-purple long hair clinging to his cheeks and neck, the tail of his hair was still immersed under the water, like a living thing. Its tentacles swayed and floated with the waves.
He surveyed the place.
This is a huge glass house with only one pool, as if it was built specifically to accommodate itself, and it can be seen from some subtle traces that it was completed soon.
Ge Xiu's eyes moved towards the edge of the pool.
- and then look at your new owner.
