Chapter 70: The Call of the Music Box

Even though I was wearing a thick diving suit, the goose bumps on my skin still bulged.

Chen Zichuan, who was resurrected from the dead, came, and the sleepwalking on the night of the moon was completely confirmed. Taking advantage of the music box, this was our second meeting!

I couldn't move at all. Chen Zichuan circled around our feet, then grabbed the backpack on my shoulder with one hand, took me, and took Bai Shuyang in my arms and swam in the direction behind.

Where is he going to lead us?

I held Bai Shuyang who was unconscious tightly and did not dare to let go. With her here, I should not suffer any danger, but this is really something that makes me feel regretful from the bottom of my heart: Bai Shuyang has put in so much effort just to be able to see his dead husband in the dragon cave. Now that he is here, she is unconscious and can't sense anything!

Suddenly, the deep-sea pressure on my body decreased a lot. I found that the water of the dragon cave above my head that emitted blue light fell, but it did not merge with the water flow in the sea, but dispersed into several blue lines in several directions. We were grabbed by Chen Zichuan and pushed into one of the blue lights. It seemed that we were wrapped in this water flow, so the water pressure on the deep-sea was much smaller?

I was finally able to take a good breath of full oxygen. Chen Zichuan's pale fingers pulled out of the strap of the backpack and then passed through one of my arms. His hands were not soaked in the swollen like those floating corpses, but the whiteness of snow seemed a little dazzling in the faint light!

He gently stroked the cracks on Bai Shuyang's helmet. Even without turning his head, I, the bystander, could feel how gentle his gaze was. I knew that he was not as malicious as those brain-eating mermaids, so he was no longer afraid. Instead, he was hesitant to put Bai Shuyang in his arms. After more than 30 years of separation, I stood between them. Is this light bulb a little annoying?

I was about to let go of my hand to create a chance for them to get along alone, but Chen Zichuan also took back his arm. He moved down, took apart the rope that my wife and I were wrapped around, and took off my two backpacks, tied them together in a very organized manner. One end of the knot was hanging down to the palm of my hand and held it.

I don't know how to thank this caring mermaid. He just stayed with us like that, took care of everything we were in a mess in the sea, and even tidied the corners of the music box bag and hung it on the bolt ring on the back of my wife's waist.

"Hey? Hey? Where is Nong? There is no way out here! Nong is lying to me!"

Wu Shuxi's angry voice came from behind her ears inconsistently. I didn't understand what he meant. It was just this way from top to the dragon cave. Can you still get lost? What are they doing!

Before I could figure out how to respond to him, the hand that gently dragged my oxygen tank on my back disappeared, and Chen Zichuan was about to leave!

"Don't leave!"

I felt anxious and couldn't help but shout in my helmet: "Captain Bai is not awake yet, please wait first!"

I felt that my back was empty. I could understand that his identity was special and I was unwilling to reveal my whereabouts to others. But Bai Shuyang and he didn't have time to meet. Can he hand over his unconscious wife to the hands of a three-legged cat like me?

I hurriedly turned around and only saw Chen Zichuan leaving from afar. Whether it was the meeting at that night or when I was taking care of us, I didn’t see the complete look of what he looked like. Only now can I confirm from the outline of the distance that Chen Zichuan is really... really a mermaid!

His hair was very long, almost as long as Bai Shuyang put his hair down. However, unlike the mottled and ugly grayish whiteness of the elderly, his hair was black and there was some shiny reflection in the sea water. I did not notice this under the interference of the bright moonlight. He was indeed still in his physical condition when he died. After 36 years of long years, his legs were replaced with fish tails, but there was no sign of aging...

As expected, the only person who can never grow old in time is the dead!

Chen Zichuan swam very fast, and I don’t know if the mermaid that lingers around us at the beginning was him. I dare not chase him. Now I can’t swim at all with my family. And once I leave the protection of this blue passage, I will be unable to breathe again.

I stared at the direction where Chen Zichuan disappeared for a long time and couldn't come back. The fish tail was so unreal but unquestionable, how did he become a mermaid?

It is obvious that before the outbreak of the Xisha Navy Battle in 1974, he was a real human. After his death, his body still remained the same as that year, without aging or decay, but his lower body was gone.

Mermaid... is it really a natural species? Bai Shuyang and the brain-taking maniac are working to study how to synthesize the creature "mermaid". The human legs in the ghost ship freezer and the human legs at the bottom of the second layer of the lake in the dragon cave were all cut from the complete upper half of humans. Under the scales on the waist and abdomen, the rotten mermaid also had scars that had once had wounds! Doesn't this mean that by combining the upper half of the human body and the lower half of the fish by some method, can artificially cultivate the most romantic and mysterious "mermaid" tribe in thousands of years?

If the secret of the mermaid is really as I see in my eyes and guess in my head, then...who is the one who created them?!

I have seen too few things. I don’t know if female mermaids and male mermaids can breed the next generation, but at least Chen Zichuan, who has been married and fought wars, became a monk halfway through, and he was "synthetic" into a mermaid!

In fact, in the ancient Chinese books in the library, these creatures are more called "mermaids".

[There are mermaids outside the South China Sea, where the water lives like fish, weaving silk to the moon, weeping tears into pearls, and the sound of fish is like a child's cry].

Do they all recorded in the book and seen by the people of the South China Sea are dead objects from human hands?

"Squeak squeak".

The signal that finally stabilized began to fluctuate endless noise again, and I couldn't contact Wu Shuxi and the others at all. Calculate the time, and if they didn't appear, I would be dying.

My oxygen tank is almost empty!

There was only half a can left, but another part of it was used when the second floor of the Dragon Cave was submerged. Now it has been so long since the Ocean Gate opened. I guess it took less than fifteen minutes to use it, and the oxygen tank on my back turned into scrap iron.

My companions had no news. Wu Shuxi roared and couldn't find the way, and there was no movement. I was wondering what else could I do if nothing happened in fifteen minutes?

Bai Shuyang was still in a coma, and there was still a lot of oxygen left.

I immediately shook my head. This evil thought that suddenly appeared was too terrible. Do I want to take advantage of the danger of others to gain time for myself to save myself? Although I didn't have much affection for those legs, my husband was still wandering somewhere in the ocean. If it weren't for him, I would have died faster. Even if I used the can of oxygen with my kindness and was still trapped in the sea, Chen Zichuan would definitely suck my brain away regardless of any previous feelings!

"Squeak squeak".

The noise was endless. I closed my eyes and simply ignored him. I tried my best to breathe steadily, counting down the last fifteen minutes of my life every second.

"Xiao Liuyi?Xiao Liuyi?"

I opened it suddenly, and the scene in front of me did not change.

"Young sister, where are you? Can you see the coral rock?"

Damn, I'm not dreaming, right?

I was so frustrated that I was crying in my helmet, and my plan to control my breathing was immediately ruined. I choked for more than a minute before finally shouting out:

"Come and save me... I'm at the entrance of the third floor of the Dragon Cave, I have no oxygen..."

After a moment of silence, I waited for a response that made me feel so relieved that I almost lost my heart—

"Xiao Liuyi insists on it, I'll go find you now!"

I held back my sobs and kept shaking my shoulders. I felt that if this continues, Bai Shuyang should be awakened by me. I forced myself to cheer up, at least I had to support myself until the last time I saw Brother Mouse. He was already approaching me!

But...how do they know the frequency of this communicator?

The diving equipment in our team all comes from the large wooden box in the cave base. In other words, if the communicator can be used directly, it should be the same frequency as that in Bai Shuyang's fleet.

But strangely, Bai Shuyang and the Brain-Take Maniac obviously did not realize that their channel could be heard by Wu Shuxi, otherwise the two of them would not have complained about Wu Shuxi's disappearance by the small lake and said so many bad things about him.

I stared at Bai Shuyang in my arms and looked at me. I realized something was wrong: the same women's diving suit, the styles on her and me were actually different!

For example, there is a pink fluorescent pad on my shoulder, which can reflect light in the water to identify the position, and prevent the oxygen tank from wearing the diving suit. Bai Shuyang's clothes do not have this. She even has a different style of the helmet from me. She and the brain-taking maniac use a full-cover helmet, and what we wear on our bodies is the folding half-helmet that is nested together and hidden in the zipper, and when used, they are pulled apart!

If I had been on the second floor of Dragon Cave and were wearing the clothes from their boats, how could she not see that she would have believed that I was from the little curly group?

It turns out that in the cave base, the things in the wooden box were not left by Bai Shuyang at all. All the communicators there were adjusted to the frequency that Wu Shuxi could monitor! However, the appearance of the wooden box was exactly the same as the one that was crushed by the stone slab not long ago. The crew member who lost his brain was indeed Bai Shuyang's men!

When did the things inside be thrown out by whom, and for what reason?
