Let the system try to save the world

The mermaid swam quickly in the direction Qian Jiashan pointed. He met many people. In some houses where people were trapped, he violently pushed open the doors, carried the people inside out one by one, and then swam lightly to a safe place.

He also swam towards the trapped makeshift raft, and the mermaid saw a young couple and their child on it. He swam to their side, and then swam to higher ground together.

He swam tirelessly, rescuing trapped people from danger.

Although his energy was depleting, the mermaid suddenly felt like singing.

Ancient blood beats in his body. When his ancestors encountered storms at sea, defeated big fish in the deep sea, and completed a hunt, they would hold hands and sing on the rocks.

It was a long time before the mermaid realized what he had lost.

It turned out to be the case.

Xing Fengchen, the name of that human.

This name will never appear in his life again, his body temperature, which is scalding hot for a mermaid, will never be used to hold him in my arms during the hot summer, and I will never use him as a human refrigerator.

No more would they play with his tail and teach him to walk with a smile, and humans who clearly preferred cooked food would no longer specially prepare raw fish to share with him.

"Oh, what's going on?" Lou Shen, who was directing the resettlement of the disaster victims, saw the mermaid swimming over.

The mermaid was dragging a broken raft made of wooden boards, on which lay several groaning humans.

Lou Shen hurriedly asked people to send the wounded away first. He looked at the mermaid who suddenly burst into tears and didn't know what to do for a moment.

"You obviously don't like crying anymore." Lou Shen wiped the mermaid's face in panic.

Handfuls of round pearls fell into the sewage. It was only three years after Xing Fengchen's death that the mermaid truly realized what death was.

The departure of a loved one is never a devastating rainstorm, but a consistently wet rainy season.

"I want to sing." The mermaid said to Lou Shen.

"Okay." Lou Shen said, "Xi Tong told me that when you want to sing, you should be given a name..."

"Xing Yan."

"What's the name like?"

The word "延" is composed of two parts, "彳" and "止".

"彳" is the abbreviation of "行", which means road; "止" means foot, which is also related to walking.

The "Xing" in Xing Fengchen sounds the same as the "Yan" in "Yan".

Continue, extend.

From now on, you will no longer be the monster called a mermaid, but Xing Yan, as your name suggests.

Live your own path with the blessings and love of your family.

Mermaid, Xing Yan nodded while sobbing, he liked this name very much.

According to legend, there is a mermaid in the clear sea water.

His long hair fell like a waterfall, sparkling with jewel-like colors.

His eyes were bright and deep, as if containing endless wisdom.

The part of Xing Yan's face that belonged to Xing Fengchen was slowly disappearing. The scattered employees of the aquarium felt a sense of emptiness in their hearts for no reason, as if someone seemed to have disappeared from their consciousness.

With her silver hair scattered, the mermaid gently opened her lips and let out a pleasant and moving song.

His voice is as melodious as the waves, full of magic and tenderness.

"If I return home by water, I will return to my hometown at dusk." Xing Yan thought about it and then sang softly.

"My longing for you is like the tide, and the road home is long."

"My heart is getting closer to you, and my love for my hometown is as deep as the sea"

"We will meet on our way home."

Every note is like a pearl, sparkling with charming light.

Xing Yan's singing voice could be heard far away. Fish that had escaped from the oceanarium and major rivers gathered around, all attracted by the beautiful melody.

His singing made people feel endless hope and beauty. This singing was gentle and moving, like the whisper of the sea, making people temporarily forget all their worries and sorrows.

In Xing Yan's singing, the tide receded, the ice and snow melted, and the land once again revealed its true appearance.

The trees that were originally covered with ice and snow gradually revealed their branches and leaves. Ice crystals on the branches dripped one by one, making a dripping sound.

The road blocked by ice and the frozen windows returned to their original appearance.

Xing Yan's singing continued for a long time, until the sun rose above the horizon again, his singing gradually faded.

He sang for so long that he almost cried blood.

This is an elegy, a requiem, and the prologue of Xing Yan's life.

The people of Ningcheng will probably never forget this day, and the mermaid's song has become a new legend in Ningcheng.

Many years later, every night when it fell, people would gather at the beach, hoping to hear that beautiful melody again.

Because there was a mermaid who used his strength and singing to help them overcome difficulties and he was a hero in people's hearts.

Shen Anzhi was left on the street by Xitong. He took a closer look and saw the sign of KTV Night in front of him.

He looked at the gaudy signs and felt as if he was in another world, as if the whole story started from here.

Shen Anzhi turned around and left like a zombie, walking aimlessly on the street. He saw his father as he wished, but he was not happy at all.

If I am just a tool used by my father to bear and transfer the curse, then what is the meaning of my life?

The sharp air raid alarm brought him back to his senses, and Shen Anzhi looked helplessly in the direction where the sound came from.

“…To ensure the safety of you and your family, please be sure to follow the following guidance: Immediately monitor local media and official notifications for the latest flood conditions and warning information…”

The crowd was bustling about, pointing and talking, discussing whether this was the latest prank. Shen Anzhi's empty eyes finally flashed a glimmer of light.

"If you live in a low-lying area or near a river, lake or other area susceptible to flooding, please evacuate to a safe place as soon as possible."

"Grandpa." Shen Anzhi did not doubt the authenticity of the alarm. He knew very well that the seal of the Polar Oceanarium was a huge time bomb. Shen Anzhi muttered to himself and ran away.

"Grandpa, run!" Shen Anzhi pushed open the door breathlessly, "The flood is coming soon."

"Everything is packed." Grandpa Shen Haoyue put their few valuable things into a bag and put it on his shoulder. He then put a thick down jacket on Shen Anzhi.

"I'm hot, grandpa." Shen Anzhi picked up the luggage and trotted ahead to lead the way.

"It will be cold soon." Shen Haoyue took out a small hand warmer and put it in his bag. "It might even snow."

"Grandpa, do you know something?" Shen Anzhi couldn't help but ask.

"The old man knows a lot." Shen Haoyue sighed, "The evil spirit in you is so strong that it is almost marinating this set of clothes. Did you see your father today?"

Shen Anzhi lowered her head and said nothing. It took a long time before she said "hmm".

"My little Orchid." Shen Haoyue hooked his finger, signaling his grandson, who had grown to a height of 1.8 meters, to lower his head.

"You are a unique orchid, and you are unique not because of who planted you."

"You will be lonely because you were born in an empty valley, but that is precisely because you do not belong to me, nor to your father."

"You belong only to yourself and to this big world."
