[comprehensive] red tide

His Excellency the Admiral was spread flat on the ground like a piece of rag, his complexion was so pale that it turned light blue, his eyes still showed some trance that had not faded away, and his gaze was also dull.

After a while, he seemed to have finally listened to what I said, his eyes moved slightly, and a vertical line was slightly drawn between his brows, "Parasite?" His voice was hoarse and deep, and his breath was faintly weak.

"Hmm~ It seems that you didn't notice it." I nodded and raised my left hand to an angle where I could see it, "This thing is rooted in your blood... Although I don't know what it is, it must have caused you to be so embarrassed. It's a very advanced thing."

Therefore, although the admiral who is still alive looks quite embarrassed from the outside, in the final analysis, this person's luck is extremely good, 20 years ago and 20 years later, he could not die several times.

Is the fate of the lone star of Tiansha?This is the cheating!

"Ahh~ I really admire how tenacious your Excellency the General is." The corners of his mouth were parted to reveal a false and peaceful smile, and I expressed regret very darkly in my heart.

If it weren't for the need for this admiral of the Navy headquarters, who would have nothing to do to save people?

However, this person is quite interesting, I was always on the lookout along the way just now, if he was successfully parasitized without being aware of it, I would not be able to rescue him, so I had to let him die.

With a click, I shook the dry foreign object attached to my fingertips and snorted.

This toy looks like a complete weed root system. If it hadn't been dug out from the admiral's heart by himself, who would have thought that it would actually take root in the human heart, winding and stretching along the ventricle and arteries like a vine, and wait until it is fully grown. The shape of the plant is probably the shape of the blood vessels of the parasitized person.

Huh?This weird biological form... seems to be somewhat similar to... Cordyceps sinensis?

Thinking about it this way, it actually looks more and more like it. I curled my mouth and gritted my teeth angrily, "It's a pity, I haven't seen a living Cordyceps sinensis. I knew it was hopeless."

I really didn't plan to care about the person who was left behind. He was injured but didn't have a broken leg. Since he couldn't keep up, it meant that his life was just like that. After walking out of the tunnel, I remembered that that person was still useful.

Before he was injured and died, he was still an admiral, so he still had value in threatening or negotiating.

So in line with the principle of making the best use of things and not wasting them, I turned around to look for them. I didn't expect that person to look in good spirits, but his complexion was not quite right. As far as the light was concerned, there were extremely weird filaments under the exposed skin. Things moved vaguely.

The scene at that time was as ferocious as a horror movie, and what was even more frightening was that the man was unaware and could move freely while retaining self-awareness.

Recalling it now is a very, very scary thing.

Fortunately, I am more courageous, otherwise I would have sprinkled a handful of salt and sprayed a burst of fire to kill demons and demons, destroy corpses and traces, ==.

The man followed behind steadily, and his breathing rate was normal. If it wasn't for the fact that the moisture in the air dries up and his body temperature rises rapidly, I almost misunderstood my vision.

When he walked out of the tunnel, the man's body temperature was already hot enough to fry an egg, and then he fell down, standing upright like a zombie, except for the constant trembling of the eyelids, and the disappearance of the heartbeat for a moment, there was an extra sense of existence inside the body, extra The biological origin is in his heart.

Then I did it. As for the probability of success... I didn't think about it at all. If he died, he was unlucky. If he survived and made money, it has nothing to do with me.

And then, it becomes what it is now.

I took a closer look at the dead things on my fingertips again, and I felt really lost. You must know that the world I lived in twice was completely different from my original hometown. OK

The pain of homesickness after nine layers of blue fall...

…………

"What are you talking about?" Cut to the listening question, the speaker belongs to His Excellency the Admiral.

"Oh—" I glanced casually over, and explained the creatures in my hometown in a good mood. "A kind of spore, parasitic in the body of insects in winter, germinates and grows in spring, and matures in summer... probably like this."

Your Excellency the General’s eyes stopped on the thing I held up for him to see, and he listened quietly without saying a word, his expression seemed to be lost in thought, after a long while, he looked away, and said, “Winter insects in summer The grass? The creature that the little lady said is similar to it but opposite."

"Heart leech, a parasitic plant." He slowly raised his hand, clasped my wrist, carefully sat up with his strength, and put himself in a cross-legged posture, then let go and sighed Then said:

"It is recorded in the literature that the parasitism of the heart leech will turn an upright and kind-hearted person into a madman who commits all kinds of crimes, such as burning, killing, and looting. It is also known as the heart of the devil."

"This kind of plant is afraid of light and heat, so the group lives in dark and humid underwater caves. We fell into that mountainside...unfortunately, it is the environment tailored for it, and what's more unfortunate is that the water vapor in the mountainside , the air contains a lot of salt, which can effectively restrain the fruit's ability to play."

Speaking of this, he suddenly fell silent, the corners of his mouth pursed, and a complex expression flashed between his brows, "It was indeed my negligence, I didn't notice that I lost control of my emotions, that was a sign of a deep infection."

"After all, according to the available data, the heart leech has been extinct for nearly a hundred years."

"Having hallucinations, high fever and coma... Waiting to wake up will turn the dream into reality."

He lowered his eyes, his hands on his knees trembled imperceptibly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to be a self-deprecating, "Young lady, I woke up...it would be so sad~"

"How to solve the sequelae?" Compared with the profound knowledge of the general's encyclopedia, I am more concerned about him who is still bleeding from the hole in his chest...whether he will become a beast again later.

I'm not interested in caring what kind of dreams he had in a high fever coma, it's definitely not a good thing anyway.

…………

The admiral took a short breath, and after a while slowly raised his eyes, and replied with a chuckle:

"Ah la la~ I don't know about this. After all, the heart leech parasites are killed on the spot after instigating disasters, and there are no survivors. Naturally, no treatment plan has been developed."

When he spoke, his expression was very calm, as if he didn't care about his future fate at all. He looked at me quietly for a while, then sighed again, and said in a low voice, "I'm just glad that this is an inescapable seabed. What kind of sequelae, at least it will not affect civilians."

"Miss—" He raised his hand in the air and stopped, and after a few seconds, he slowly clenched his fist and lowered it again, "Miss, let's go when I recover, while I'm still normal."

"Or..." After a short pause, his eyes were calm and indifferent, his smile was as pure as that of a child, and his tone was neither sad nor happy, "Kill me completely before leaving, and avenge the ruined O'Hara."

Heh——I sneered silently, and the corner of my mouth curled up, "How can you be sure, Your Excellency, that I am not parasitized? It sounds so nice, it can't be a conspiracy, right?"

"The qi in your body is not mixed with other life fluctuations." The man raised his eyebrows, looked up and down with rather strange eyes for a while, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "So I also find it strange that the heart leeches can see through the air. Infected with blood, and the little lady was able to survive..."

"There's no need to care about that kind of thing, you can just treat me as lucky." I shrugged, thought for a while, and finally smiled happily, "In that case, let's negotiate, Your Excellency the General."

Facing the man's increasingly bewildered gaze, I leaned over and stared at him carefully for a long, long time, bent the corners of my mouth, and took out the magic stick tone I learned many years ago, slowly threatening and luring.

"There is a reason for my immunity, and it can also work on you, as long as I take action."

"Your Excellency, General Healer, I can also take you on a space trip to leave this place."

Put forward wonderful conditions that make people irresistible, and add another premise to dispel his doubts, "Of course, my conditions will not conflict with the justice that Your Excellency the General insists on, how about it? Do you want to listen?"

…………

When I spoke, this man didn't move or speak, his eyes were slightly squinted, and the expression between his brows was indistinguishable, until I finished speaking, he was silent for a long time, and the corner of his mouth evoked a smile that was neither salty nor weak, " Negotiating with the little lady, I'm afraid I can't make up my own mind about this kind of thing, after all, I've been in a state of confusion when it comes to your matter~"

"It's not as good as this." He reached out and took out a fingertip-sized bead from the pocket of his tattered clothes, squeezed it into two halves with a bang, and put it on the ground between the two of them, before continuing, "Let's leave the decision to Marshal Sengoku~"

The bead dropped by the general contained a very, very small, pitch-black... snail?The creature crawling out of the two-petal load is a snail, right?

The kind of thing that acts as a communicator, camera, etc., and so on.

A small snail, about the size of a fingernail, touched the air, its soft tentacles stretched up slowly, its two eyeballs blinked a few times, and the front of its black body grinned.

Small white teeth, like a hissing electric wave frequency from a mouth, and after a while, indistinct voices came out intermittently.

"Qing... general... please..."

It seems that the reception is not very good, and the voices on the other end are just meaningless fragments, and the volume fluctuates from high to low, from far and near.

This up and down situation lasted for a few minutes, and the phone snail kept silent with its mouth open and staring in vain, and could not hear anything quietly.

After waiting for a long time, the sound came from the phone snail again, and it gradually became stable. Maybe the other party used some method to adjust and solve the problem of the signal in the deep sea here.

"Your Excellency General Aokiji, please turn on the video receiver." The voice of the young man said.

Immediately, another man who clearly had the aura of a superior said in a deep voice, "Kuzan."

…………

Your Excellency the General reached out and unscrewed the small phone somewhere on the snail's body, and then the two petals of the load emitted light, and the soft beam spread out, forming a shadow screen at an arm's length away from the side.

The scene projected from the other end is a certain conference room, and several people are sitting across from them. The leader is wearing a weird hat with a seagull on it, his chin mustache is braided, and he has a round, old-fashioned black frame. Glasses…

Although the appearance looks a little funny, the eyes that fall on the body across the space are cold and majestic.

The Admiral of the Navy Headquarters...?

The other few looked strange, except for a certain so-and-so who had confronted twice.

Maybe it's due to the existence of a hostile camp like me. The gazes cast in the conference room contain various meanings. Only the only woman present is not so sharp, with wise and peaceful eyes.

I stared at the man in the center, and my eyes slid to his side, and then retracted after a brief glance, then raised my hand, and greeted with a very kind smile, "Nice to meet, Marshal of the Warring States Period."

The other party remained motionless, and the focus of his eyes only fell on the general next to him.

The silent and treacherous silence lasted for a few minutes. The first person to speak was one of the three generals sitting in the first position on the left side of the lower head, Bolusalino the yellow ape. He propped his chin and spoke in a strange way.

"Yeah—that's strange, the highest level of alarm was activated, and we were shown that you were in the same room with a high-bounty criminal?"

"Ah la la ~ the highest level of police? I couldn't have picked up the wrong phone bug, right?" General Aokiji raised his hand to brush his hair and replied with a smirk.

"Kuzan, what's going on?" As if he finally felt that he couldn't let his subordinates continue to stay silent, the man at the top finally said, "You left the headquarters without authorization and left a bunch of work tasks, come back and wait for confinement, you bastard." There was no ups and downs in the rhythm of the speech, and there was still strong anger in the words.

However, while the commander seemed to reprimand, there was also worry hidden in his eyes, obviously worried about the safety of General Aokiji.

…………

"Ah, that's—"

"We are in the capital of seven waters."

I suddenly interrupted Admiral Aokiji’s faintly about to pretend to be silly and joking, and told the top leaders of the Navy Headquarters in the conference room on the other side of the screen with a smile, “It was swept to the bottom of the island by the current, and it was abandoned during the flood a hundred years ago. A corner of the city."

"It is said that the existing city of the Seven Waters City is built on the site of the old city that has been flooded year after year. The abandoned city a hundred years ago is at least several thousand meters below sea level."

"All the way in has collapsed. Even if you escape outside, you will be in the deep sea. Let alone a person with abilities, even an ordinary person's water pressure alone is enough to burst his whole body."

"Now you choose." I pointed my hand straight at Admiral Aokiji, and asked the admiral of the navy to choose with a deadpan expression, "If you want him to die, or if you want him to live."

…………

The man's eyes half-hidden under the seagull hat suddenly lifted up, and the corners of his mouth were pursed into a straight line. From a very long distance, through the shadow screen, the instant burst of coercion from the man was still extremely astonishing.

"The Warring States of Buddha—" I closed my eyes, then turned my face to the side, and said in a low voice, regardless of the final answer those people looking at here would give, "Someone told me that the Navy Headquarters The capital of the seven waters launches the Demon Slaughter Order."

Your Excellency the General seemed to be in a daze, quickly glanced at the video screen, and replied lazily, "Miss asked the wrong person, except for the person in charge of each secret operation, even the same military rank has no right to interfere."

"The one who has the right to launch the Demon Slaughter Order is no more than one of your three generals." I smiled at him coldly, "Is it you, is there any difference?"

"Admiral Aokiji, Mr. Kuzan, please tell Marshal Sengoku of the Navy Headquarters."

"If it's because of me, the navy will launch a demon-slaying order against the capital of the seven waters."

When I said this, I fell silent, and after a while, I hooked the corners of my mouth, and I calmly told the admiral, "Unless you kill me completely, otherwise... the world hurts me so much, I will repay it ten thousand times."

"Although I don't have the ability to imitate the golden lion that bloodbathed Marlin Ford, but I dare to slaughter the entire East China Sea, so that it will not grow for the next 300 years."

…………

After the voice fell for a while, this person seemed to understand what I said, and anger suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Nicole Robin—" the admiral's voice was cold and hard, and his eyes finally faded away, revealing a few traces of gloom.

Quan pretending that I didn't see the laziness of this person taking off his mask, revealing the fierce aura hidden in the depths, I turned my eyes away and returned my attention to the person on the other side of the screen.

I looked at the Supreme Commander quietly for a while, and I slowly laughed, tearing off the disguise as well, and seeing it poorly, "Warring States, don't think I don't know, EastBlue is the weakest in the world in the eyes of pirates, and it is a symbol of peace in the government's eyes. Dongfanglan is where your navy places your family members."

"It's just that you have been so kind and soft over the years that you have misunderstood me."

"Born in Meteor Street, code-named one of the seven deadly sins, [Destroyer] Nicole Robin, the blood on both hands is enough to stain the sea under your feet red."

The long-awaited black tome suddenly appeared, and I pressed my hand on the title page. I raised my eyebrows, "Go to war, or continue to negotiate?"
