Soul Mechanic [Interstellar]

【Aubrey's spiritual body】

Mu Qiu tried to enter the spiritual realm of the mermaid patriarch—if there was one.

Fortunately, there really are.

The spiritual realm of the mermaid patriarch is a sea, a vast and deep sea, in which there are reefs, schools of fish, and small nests covered with pearls and seaweed.

In the small nest, there was a light blue little mermaid lying on its stomach, its eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same as that of the mermaid patriarch.

Mu Qiu thought that this was his spiritual body.

The little mermaid was nestling on the shell bed at this time, her eyes were tightly closed, and she looked very weak.

He stretched out his tentacles, imitating Elsa's usual appearance, while gently comforting the little mermaid in the spiritual realm, he pulled out another tentacles, and gently slid over the injured part of the mermaid patriarch.

The spiritual wave of the guide has the ability to stimulate cell regeneration at a certain frequency, which can accelerate wound healing.

Mu Qiu had specially practiced it under Elsa's supervision before, but she didn't know if it would be effective on the mermaid.

Mu Qiu adjusted the wave frequency carefully, and first found a smaller wound to try.

Under the stimulation of the mental wave, the nearly transparent white skin bleeds out dirty blood at a speed visible to the naked eye, scabs and peels off, revealing the slightly reddish tender flesh underneath.

Mu Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.

The mermaids onlookers exclaimed in amazement, and looked at Mu Qiu with almost awe-inspiring eyes.

Chu Qingtian folded his arms to protect Mu Qiu's back, with the corner of his mouth proudly hooked——my guide!

I don't know how long it has passed without the light changing on the bottom of the sea.

It wasn't until Mu Qiu's forehead was dripping with sweat, and his mental strength was about to dry up, that the mermaid patriarch woke up by shaking the gills behind his ears.

"Did you save me?" He held Mu Qiu's hand and said quietly.

Chu Qingtian stared at the two little white hands holding each other, his face was a little dark.

Mu Qiu smiled, "The wounds that can be seen are all healed, other places... I mean the inside of the body, internal organs, etc., do they hurt?"

The mermaid patriarch touched his chest, and stared at Mu Qiu with watery eyes.

Mu Qiu stretched out his hand and checked carefully - two ribs were broken here before, and they have been connected just now... Could it be that they were not connected properly?

The mental tentacles stretched out again, intending to check again, but was blocked by the mermaid patriarch.

"It doesn't hurt anymore." He took Mu Qiu's hand and touched the position of his chest, "You were here just now, did you see... Mom?"

Mu Qiu froze for a moment, but didn't understand what he meant.

The other mermaids showed mournful expressions, and the green mermaid reminded sadly: "Patriarch, Master Caiwei has left, you...don't be sad anymore."

The mermaid patriarch shook his head and looked at Mu Qiu without blinking, like a wayward child.

Mu Qiu sighed softly, and made up a sad story in his mind.

He gently stroked the hair of the mermaid patriarch, "Sleep for a while."

The mental wave carried a hint of hypnosis, the breathing of the mermaid patriarch gradually slowed down, and his blue eyes slowly closed.

Mu Qiu looked around the group of mermaids, only to find that the [-] mermaids including the patriarch were all young guys, their immature faces looked like minors.

"Where are the adults in the clan?" Mu Qiu couldn't help asking.

The mermaids looked at me and I looked at you, all of them looked like they were about to cry.

"It's gone." The green mermaid said as a representative.

"Killed by a shark...?"

The green mermaid shook her head, and pointed to the depths of the trench, "There was a big crack in the original house, and something very hot came out of the crack. In order to let us escape, the adults all, all..."

"Stop talking, I know." Mu Qiu grabbed his hand, not knowing how to comfort him.

The sadness and helplessness of losing their loved ones, the anger and fear of being bullied by evil sharks were all released at this moment, and the young mermaids burst into tears.

Human teenagers mostly live under the protection of their parents at their age, studying in an ivory tower, but little mermaids have to experience life and death and face parting.

Mu Qiu was a little out of breath, and couldn't help grabbing Chu Qingtian's hand.

Chu Qingtian also felt uncomfortable, he patted Mu Qiu on the shoulder and said, "I'll go back to the spaceship and say something."

"I'll send him back, let's meet up inside later!" Mu Qiu said, trying to hug the mermaid patriarch, but it didn't take much effort.

Chu Qingtian nodded, turned around and pulled a few mermaid grass, then swam towards the spaceship.

Mu Qiu opened his mouth, but he didn't stop him.

-

The mermaid's lair is unexpectedly simple, even a little shabby, without any gorgeous decorations, let alone soft seaweed, and large and small fish bones scattered on the ground - very inconsistent with their beautiful appearance.

The mermaids seemed very cramped, one by one scrambling to tidy up the messy caves, but they kept getting more and more chaotic.

Mu Qiu smiled and said gently: "Don't be too busy, where does the patriarch live?"

On the stone platform, there are more than a dozen large shells in different colors from left to right.

A silver mermaid swam over quickly, knocked three times on the blue shell in the middle, and the shell opened slowly, revealing a soft and comfortable seaweed bed.

The little silver fish looked at Mu Qiu timidly, and stammered: "This, this is the patriarch's shell nest, yes, Master Caiwei prepared it for the patriarch."

"I see, thank you." Mu Qiu exuded a wave of kindness.

The little silver fish flicked its tail happily, swam to another silver-tailed mermaid in a daze, and whispered, "He must be the Son of God!"

"I think so too." The other party also replied in a low voice.

Son of God? ——He was sure that what he heard was the pronunciation, what does it mean?

It shouldn't be too important!Probably a kind of honorific title, Mu Qiu laughed it off.

-

When Chu Qingtian came back, he was followed by a few... fish.

Mu Qiu glanced at this group of tall and burly guys, and really couldn't call them "mermaids"—except for Lu Xun, the mermaid looks of the rest of them were simply horrible.

After the little mermaids were stunned, they couldn't help laughing.

The Sentinels didn't care.

Clairvoyant kept fluttering his thick tail, and said excitedly: "Boss, I think of the underwater mock battle with Class [-] that year. If we had this thing, wouldn't we beat them to the ground?"

"That's not it!" Aubrey said gruffly, "Damn it, I'm holding my breath just thinking about it, and the group of soft-legged shrimps in the second class are even fighting us!"

"In the final analysis, that commander is too powerful, eh? Why are you poking me?" Qianliyan stared at Shunfeng's ear with a brown tail, and wrinkled his nose in disgust, "Your tail is too ugly."

Shunfeng snorted, do it, don't say I didn't remind you.

Clairvoyance was disgusted, and continued to gossip with Aubrey, "Speaking of which, who is the commander of the second squad... Maybe we can find an excuse to fight if we meet another day!"

Next to it, one of the "soft-legged shrimps" in the second class was folding his arms, looking at the two of them with a half-smile.

Aubrey reacted abruptly and swam away.

A huge water vortex hit Qianliyan's face, and the guy finally woke up.

"Well, deputy, deputy team, I didn't mention you! Hehe..." Clairvoyant smiled, moved a little behind Shunfeng's ear, and gritted his teeth, complaining, "I even forgot that the deputy team is from the second class, why didn't you remind me?" I?"

Shunfeng Er: ... Ha ha.

Lu Xun looked at him with a smile on his face, and said coldly: "I am not only from the second class, but also the commander of the year. Come on, aren't you looking for a fight? You don't need to find excuses, just fight if you want!" "

Clairvoyance was shocked and waved his hands again and again, "Deputy team, deputy team, I was wrong, a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue, we are all on our own now!" Damn, who dares to fight with the deputy team?The ancient martial arts family that has been passed down for thousands of years can bring down a cow with just one finger!

"Second child~" Chu Qingtian waved at him.

Mu Qiu secretly laughed, this was the first time he heard Chu Qingtian call Lu Xun face to face, he did not expect such a name.

"Deputy team, the boss is calling you!" Qianliyan poked out half of his head from Shunfenger's shoulder, and his voice was excited.

Lu Xunchao snorted and let him go temporarily.

-

Chu Qingtian called Lu Xun over, mainly to discuss the resettlement of the mermaids and the inspection of the seabed environment.

If, as the mermaids said, a big crack opened on the seabed, the water temperature rose rapidly, and many marine creatures that had never been seen before broke into this area, it was very likely that this was the precursor of an undersea earthquake.

Once an earthquake occurs, the seabed environment will undergo tremendous changes, and marine life will soon face a major reshuffle. Not only is it no longer suitable for mermaids to survive, but it may even cause tsunamis, endangering sea ports and passenger ships that come for exploration or sightseeing.

"If the situation is true, it must be reported to the military as soon as possible." Chu Qingtian said with a serious expression, "Besides, we can't stay here any longer. We must leave as soon as possible and bring these mermaids with us."

"I'll take Clairvoyance and the others to see that trench. The jellyfish spacecraft has a deep-sea detection function, which can come in handy," Lu Xun said immediately.

Chu Qingtian nodded, "Regardless of whether there is a result or not, we must come back within half an hour. Qiuqiu and I ask the mermaids for their opinions, and try to bring as many people as possible, and we will gather at the entrance of the lair in half an hour."

"it is good."

"be careful."

"rest assured."

-

Lu Xun led people away from the jellyfish spaceship, and Aubrey stayed at the entrance of the lair to guard. In the lair, Mu Qiu calmly told the mermaids about the current situation and expressed his willingness to take them away.

"You... want to take us away?" The green mermaid looked at Mu Qiu suspiciously.

"It's not me, it's us." Mu Qiu pointed to himself, then pointed to Chu Qingtian next to him, and Aubrey at the entrance of the cave, his eyes returned to the mermaids, and said in a gentle voice, "Let's go together , want to take a spaceship that you haven’t been in, go to a place you haven’t been to—maybe never come back, would you like to?”

The young mermaids hesitated, and looked at the blue shells in unison——the patriarch should decide this kind of thing, right?

The previous little silver fish said timidly but firmly: "Master Caiwei said when he sent us here that the Son of God will come and take us away."

The green mermaid looked at him in surprise, "Little Silver, is what you said true?"

Little Silver Fish nodded firmly, "I heard Master Caiwei tell the patriarch."

The bigger silver mermaid also nodded, and said with some embarrassment: "Brother Green Tail, I heard that too."

Hearing this, the green mermaid looked at Mu Qiu excitedly, and said with tears in her eyes: "We, we only occupy a small space, and we can catch fish to eat by ourselves, please take us away!"

The other mermaids, including the golden mermaid who was tugging at them earlier, all showed looks of anticipation and even pleading.

The painting style changed so quickly that Mu Qiu didn't react for a while.

Chu Qingtian coughed lightly, and said as kindly as possible: "Then pack up your things, and we will leave soon."

"Can I bring the shell bed?" a voice asked timidly.

Mu Qiu smiled and nodded, "Of course."

"Where are the colored stones?"

"can."

"Where is the red coral?"

"can."

"Where's the big star?"

"can."

"Where's the swordfish bone?"

Mu Qiu smiled helplessly, "As long as the spaceship can hold it, it's fine."

"Can worms work? I have a worm with a shell!" the golden mermaid said suddenly.

Before Mu Qiu could object, an angry voice came from beside him, "Golden Wei, if you dare to bring those things, I will break up with you!"

"Well, then I won't take it with you, don't break the friendship!" The golden mermaid threw away the shell in her hand, looked at it very reluctantly, and muttered softly, "What a pity..."

Mu Qiu and Chu Qingtian looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing—they are still children!

Mu Qiu glanced at the young patriarch lying quietly in the blue shell, and asked, "Is there anyone to help your patriarch pack things?"

"No need." The green mermaid replied, "Master Caiwei gave the patriarch a storage shell, and all the important things are inside."

After the mermaids cleaned up, they stood in line holding their own big shells, and looked at Mu Qiu with bright eyes.

Chu Qingtian closed the blue shell and put one hand under his arm.

"Wow—" the little mermaids all exclaimed in unison.

Mu Qiu glanced at him with a smile, and Chu Qingtian raised his eyebrows proudly.

There was one colorful shell left alone on the stone platform.

"No one wants that?" Mu Qiu asked suspiciously.

"That's a very important thing..." Green Tail said with some embarrassment, "Only the patriarch can touch it."

Mu Qiu glanced at Chu Qingtian, "Otherwise...wake him up?" Since it is very important, it must be taken!

"Master Shenzi is also fine." Xiaoyin poked his head out from behind Big Yin's tail, and looked at Mu Qiu eagerly.

uh... Son of God...

"Are you talking about me?" Mu Qiu pointed to himself.

"Ok!"

"If I'm not the...'Son of God' you mentioned, will that very important thing be broken?"

"No, it's just that you can't touch it."

This way I feel at ease.Mu Qiu walked over calmly, without much hope.

However, the next moment, his hand froze. The moment the big shell that was originally as tall as a person touched his hand, it automatically became the size of a palm and lay quietly in his hand.

Is this... normal?Mu Qiu looked at the mermaids suspiciously.

The mermaids also looked at him, their eyes full of joy and excitement.

Well, it seems normal.

Mu Qiu shook the shell in his hand, "If you're ready, let's go!"

The mermaids finally took a look at the temporary lair, and nodded firmly to Mu Qiu.

Just at this time, the spaceship slowly moved over.

Presumably Lu Xun had explained the situation in advance, and the people in the cabin were not particularly surprised to see a line of mermaids waiting outside the lair.

Clairvoyance opened the outer cabin door, and Aubrey jumped up first to respond at the door, while Chu Qingtian and Mu Qiu protected the mermaids and climbed up one by one.

Chu Qingtian wanted to hug Mu Qiu and send him up first.

Seeing that there was still a big shell under his arm, Mu Qiu didn't let him hug him, "You go up first, just let Aubrey give me a hand."

The mermaids are also looking at him eagerly...the patriarch's blue shell is under his arm.

Chu Qingtian didn't hesitate, and entered the hatch with a flick of the fish's tail.

Aubrey stretched out his hand and winked at Mu Qiu with a playful smile, "Little guide, do you think that if I hold your hand, will the boss challenge me for a duel later?"

Mu Qiu looked at him with a smile, "Then you must be ready."

Aubrey laughed.

The accident happened at this time.

A huge whirlpool suddenly came from the originally silent sea, and Mu Qiu lost his balance and slid down from the cabin door.

Aubrey's face changed, and he jumped down immediately.

A grey-black man-eating shark charged fiercely towards the two of them with its ferocious mouth open.

"Qiuqiu!!! Aubrey!!!" Chu Qingtian's spiritual field was shaken suddenly, and he flew out of the cabin.

After all, it was one step too late.

Aubrey pushed Mu Qiu to the bottom of the sea, and he himself was swallowed whole by the man-eating shark.

On the transparent bulkhead, several horrified faces were exposed.

The man-eating shark was not satisfied, and turned to block Chu Qingtian's way.

All the sentries who had eaten mermaid grass, including Lu Xun, joined the battle.

Those who had never eaten man-eating grass, regardless of whether they were sentries or guides, all wore diving suits.

Mu Qiu struggled to get up from the bottom of the sea, and another man-eating shark came quietly with its mouth full of fangs.

One, two, three—Mu Qiu was surrounded.

The Sentinels got stuck and had no chance to come to rescue them.

Seeing Chu Qingtian's flustered expression, Mu Qiu even showed him a comforting smile - he was so frightened that he calmed down instead.Calmly stretched out two spiritual tentacles, one to help Chu Qingtian, and the other to protect himself, watching the huge man-eating shark calmly.

The sea was stirred and there was no sound.

Three sharks attack simultaneously.

Mu Qiu closed his eyes, mobilized the little mental power left, and fought hard.

At the very moment, with a "wow", a huge figure stood in front of Mu Qiu, and with a "click", bit off the head of the man-eating shark.

Mu Qiu swore that he heard the scream of the soul.

It really... hurts.
