I stumbled and ran out of the elevator back to the land. It was pouring rain outside, and the sky above my head was covered with dark clouds, just like my mood at the moment. I ran wildly in the rain, and came to the beach unknowingly.
I knelt down on a bare reef beach, propped up my trembling arms, and looked at the boundless sea in despair. The boundary between the sea and the sky in the distance was blurred in a gray haze, and my sight was also trapped in this place. In a terrible trap. I suddenly remembered "The Truman Show". At this moment, I am so pitiful and pitiful like the protagonist. I devote myself to research, but I turn my life into a wonderful show!
True world...
What is true and what is false in this world. Everything I believed in, has been teased so thoroughly.
I raised my head and let the rain wash over my face. I suddenly wanted to laugh, and I really laughed out loud, but the tears flowed down my cheeks again, blending with the rain. My brain is as chaotic as the surface of the sea in a storm. The high tide hits my ankles. An absurd idea rises from the bottom of my heart, dragging me into the bottom of the sea like a vortex—the other side of the sea. Is it a completely different new world like Truman's world? Am I living in a fake studio
Is it possible that as long as I swim to the other side of the sea like Truman and tear through the haze that was forged by a layer of curtain, I can completely escape from this nightmare
By coincidence, I stepped into the crotch-deep water with my legs open, and moved step by step into the icy cold sea.
The sea water soaked through my clothes, and slowly submerged my waist and abdomen as I went deeper, when a voice suddenly sounded in the depths of my mind: Desharow... come back, come back... to me...
It was the call of Agares, my body froze as if suddenly froze, I didn't believe that he could control my subconscious, so I desperately resisted with my self-consciousness, and simply plunged into the seawater, salty The astringent sea water rushed into my nasal cavity in an instant.
Ha, it's not bad to die like this... maybe it's just a nightmare...
I was thinking in confusion, but after only persisting in the water for a few seconds, my strong desire to survive made me raise my head instinctively, violently coughing out the seawater that choked into my mouth. I realized that I didn't want to die at all, or that I wasn't suicidal at all. At this moment, I heard a few footsteps wading in the water behind me, and when I turned around, I saw a familiar figure plunged into the water quickly, swam up to me with a thump, stretched out his hand and dragged me out When I got into the water, I staggered a little, and my arm was tightly grabbed by the person who came.
Coughing violently, I knelt down on the beach, strangling my neck and taking a big gulp of air. Rhine's deafening roar came from above my head: "You are crazy, do you want to commit suicide Desaro!!"
I desperately shook my head and coughed, my back was pulled tightly, and my whole body was pressed into his arms by Rhine. I pushed him subconsciously, and my whole body fell down on the beach , hoarse throat: "I don't want to die... I don't want to die, I just want to escape from here, I'm so dizzy."
Rhine stood there, suddenly fell silent, without saying a word.
I suddenly realized that maybe Rhine had also seen what happened in the laboratory, and immediately subconsciously curled up my knees, buried my head deeply on my knees, and covered my face with my elbows. How much I wish I could become a hermit crab at this moment, hiding in a hard shell, without facing anyone or anything, as long as I close myself, everything can be regarded as never happened.
But at this moment, I can only curl up in my arms, let the wind and rain break, and I don't even have a chance to be alone.
"I warned you, Desaro." Rhine's voice suppressed remorse and unwillingness, "At that time, maybe you can..."
"What's the use of it!" I stood up suddenly as if being stabbed by a needle, and grabbed his collar, "How could I have time at that time, yes, I was so stupid, so stupid that I didn't realize this. It's a conspiracy! Rhine, this voyage wasn't for my graduation inspection project at all, was it? Everything... everything was premeditated. When you chose me from dozens of students who chose you as your tutor, you chose me Is it planned? Why, why did you get me involved in this conspiracy, are you using me as bait to catch mermaids?! Disgusting liar, scum of academia!"
"No, no!" Rhine suddenly became excited, with bulging veins on his forehead, he grabbed my wrist, "I really want you to participate in the government's mermaid research project, it's because of your outstanding grades and my selfishness , I don't know why Shakara suddenly made such a plan to take you... "
He opened his eyes with tearing eyes, as if thinking of something through me, his pupils shrank like needlepoints due to extreme emotions, and his breathing was rapid. I know he must have recalled the scene of Agares violating me, and I couldn't help but feel extremely embarrassed. I closed my eyes, stepped back weakly, and muttered nonsense: "Line, Rhine, if you A little bit of guilt, just help me get out of here, I want to go back to Moscow, I'm homesick... "
Rhine grabbed my front lapel, causing my fallen body to hang in the air. He looked at my face with bloodshot eyes, grabbed my waist with his hands and pressed me into his arms: "Desaro, forgive me... Things have developed like this, there is no way out... But I swear I will never let that beast hurt you again..."
"I will never go back!" I broke free from Rhine's arm with a burst of savage strength, but after running for two steps, my waist suddenly tightened, and the whole person was carried by Rhine on his shoulders. No matter how hard I kicked him, he didn't let go, and he carried me all the way to the high platform where the Institute's boats were moored.
There was a noisy voice beside me, and I couldn't help but shut my mouth, not daring to shout any more to avoid being embarrassing, "Rhein, Rhein, put me down!"
He carried me to the high platform without hearing anything, and I struggled to raise my head, and saw a small three-story scientific research ship parked on the nearby sea, with its deck on the pier not far away, three to five A strong sailor was carrying a large cylindrical object to the ship, which was covered with a layer of metal shark-proof net. I recognized that it was the water tank containing Agares. Behind them were five or six armed men with guns, and the whole formation was as heavily guarded as a police escort transporting money.
"Where is this search ship going? Fuck, answer me!"
I slammed Rhine's back with my elbow. He let out a muffled grunt, but tightened his arms. He carried me straight up and followed the armed men, passing Agares' water tank. Pass.
In an instant, I caught a glimpse of a pair of dark and gloomy eyes through the gaps in the mottled iron net, and my heart trembled suddenly, and I heard a muffled bang against the glass. I couldn't stop walking, and saw that the water tank was about to roll to the ground. A few people behind shouted and rushed forward to hold it, and Rhine was so shocked that he loosened his arms, and I was able to free up my body and push him away.
The bottom of the water tank touched the deck heavily. Fortunately, the metal shell was intact, and several people stood in the middle to stabilize its center of gravity. Then, Agares' pale face slowly came out from behind the only window on the shark prevention cage. floated up.
One of his webbed claws was pressed tightly against the glass, his head was slightly lowered, and he squinted his eyes to patrol Rhine and me. There was a deep shadow under his eyelids, and the mottled water reflected from below, making his expression even more gloomy. terrible.
I can't be sure what's going on in this deep-sea creature's mind, but I'm very sure that he got angry, and he was so angry that his face was full of murderous intent and hostility, as if something he owned was stolen occupied the same.
"Huh, this beast is actually jealous!" Rhine let out a disdainful cold snort from his nose, raised his middle finger towards Agares, and at the same time hugged me in his arms, completely ignoring the presence of others. beside.
I was shocked and subconsciously pressed my elbow against Rhine's chest, but he held me tightly. I couldn't stop looking at the glass of the water tank, and I felt an extremely ominous premonition in my heart. Seeing that Agares' face changed completely behind the glass, he grinned open to reveal his white canine teeth, and pointed his fist at the glass——
It was a terrible loud noise comparable to an explosion, and everyone screamed in unison at that moment, because a gap was broken through the incomparably strong tempered glass, and Agares' arm was broken through it. The blue blood on his hands and the water gushing out of the gap dripped onto the deck together.
“My Desharow…my Desharow…let him go…”
A deep and hoarse hiss overflowed from the gap, he stared at Rhine's arm holding me, and slowly retracted his arm in a demonstrative manner, the second punch smashed the glass in the window, and the water flowed from the window. It gushed out from inside.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, among them a few sailors who knew me cast strange glances at me, I couldn't help my footsteps softened, I stepped back a few steps and hit the wall, leaning on the wall as if my body was out of balance, and shouted in panic Said, "Don't look at me, it's not my name! Rhine, you ignorant fool, don't provoke it, you don't know the power of this beast! He will run out!"
The armed men were startled when they heard the words, and they all stepped forward and aimed their guns at Agares in the water tank, but none of them dared to approach the window. They were obviously very afraid of him, as if he was like the man in Jurassic Park. The Tyrannosaurus Rex is so terrifying.
And it was true when he killed.
"Are you the breeder of this mermaid?" An armed man asked nervously, "It looks like it is very dependent on you, I think we need your help, it is too difficult to control, we have a few unlucky ones The guy was ripped open by it!"
"Shit! I'm not... don't ask me for help!" I yelled angrily, with sweat pouring down my forehead, and I was holding my trouser legs helplessly, but at this moment I smelled the damp and thick fragrance from Agares' body in the water tank. It's spreading in the air. I seemed to see the phantom of Agares coming towards me, and I was so frightened that I fled into the cabin in a panic, and closed the door tightly, shutting out Rhine who was chasing me.
"Mr. Desaro! Mr. Desaro! We need your assistance!"
"Desaro, let me in!"
The door was slapped violently behind me, and the shouts of Rhine and the armed personnel were intertwined. I pressed my back against the door panel and defended the door panel. The irritability, anxiety, shame and embarrassment all rushed to my brain, making my eyes go black for a moment, and I couldn't even see it. The last "Get out" didn't come out of his mouth, and the whole person fell down on the floor in front of him.
After losing consciousness for a short time, I woke up again in a daze.
The vast sea surface outside the window was moving, and the sea surface was cut into long tracks by the hull of the ship, and finally disappeared in the undulating waves.
This ship... is going to where
I asked secretly, feeling that my brain was very heavy and hot, and I didn't even have the strength to feel pain and anger. I seemed to have a fever.
Wherever you go, Desaro, you are destined to have no way back.
Thinking of this, I fell down on the bed in desperation, letting my brain burn into a daze, and I was unconscious.
