With the joint efforts of all vests

Haixia knew that she was dreaming.

She is in a dream, but she can still feel it, she feels that she has grown arms, poking her head out of a dark place, but she thinks she is a fish, a fish with arms, just think about it Ugly.

She felt that she was too ugly, so she didn't even want to leave the deep sea and go to the sun. After all, no one can see anyone in the deep sea, so everyone can grow as long as they want.

She swam forward, her tail wagging merrily, and then she encountered an undersea volcano erupting.

That is a picture that cannot be accurately described in words.

The whole world was originally dark, but at that moment, it was as if a sun was born in the depths of the universe, and then, the whole world was illuminated.Haixia had no choice but to go upstream, using the fastest speed, she felt the heat as if it had turned into something alive, chasing her behind her.

Haixia didn't know where she rushed to in a daze. She breathed the air for the first time, and felt her long hair sticking to her back. But, do fish have hair?

Thinking of this, she lowered her head and glanced.

I happened to see my own reflection on the sea.

It was a... red-haired mermaid.

The next moment, she woke up.

Still in bed, at three o'clock in the morning, and there is still a medical examination to be done the next day.

……What's going on here?

Cheng Jiao also wanted to ask what happened.

But he had to hold back.

The noisy crowd on the boat didn't look like a battle but an outing, even pulling the human side into the silly world, Cheng Jiao scoffed and felt a little ashamed.

Because this tattered team seems to be brought by itself.

No matter how big the boat is, the basic law must be followed. They walked for four hours. If it was an incident of "keeping people under the knife", the bodies would probably be cold by now.

It's okay, there is no news, that thing should not have caused any new troubles, although even with the information received now, I can't tell what the thing on the bottom of the sea is, but there are also bad things, plus divination I went to the surveillance, but I couldn’t find where the escaped monster and the humans who died in it went. The wreckage of the ship on the sea has disappeared. The salvage ship that came to deal with the follow-up work was very lively. After all, " The fragments of the "spaceship" have been fished up, and it is better to know more information than nothing.

Guixianren's appearance of divination by touching the bright silver unknown metal wreckage is always a bit strange, and Cheng Jiao's dark golden pupils stared at the undulating sea surface, and suddenly turned his head and said, "Drain this piece." Just drain it?

Forget it, you are the boss, everything you say is right.

And it's not that the boss doesn't work, but the way he works is a bit unscientific.

Tong Yuan took a step back and covered his face, he didn't want to see the group of monsters fighting, turned his head and found that the Guixian was still touching the silver board, just nodding his head, apparently fell into the mysterious field of divination, commonly known as Zhou Gong's dream .

...I always feel that it will not be good to leave the future of youkai to these guys.

There are some monsters who are upright enough, and even joined the police. Because of the severe situation, the two races were indeed forced to merge, and this part is even doing well in the police. Part of the salvage is presided over by the Sakura people, and part is the United Nations World Police. , There are living creatures in the underwater thing, this is a very serious issue.

After all... Some people speculate that that thing may be the ancestor of the monster, or an old enemy.

Thinking of this guess, Cheng Jiao wanted to flick his tail.

Anyway, he doesn't want to admit that there are any ancestors. Let's see what humans have guessed?

Because of the different customs and history of different countries, their mythology systems are of course different.

One side talks about the Queen Mother, the other side calls God and Allah, and some people clamor that since there are monsters, then Santa Claus is real, right? Is it true that Santa Claus has no fans?

Do you want to let the Jade Emperor, Tathagata, Qilin, God, Allah, and Amaterasu all get through it, and the strongest god should be the official existence?Then they discovered with regret that these gods did not exist in the history of the demon world, that is to say, ghosts are ghosts, and no one recognizes their own gods.

It's a pity that it doesn't work.

So Cheng Jiao occasionally thinks in the dead of night, what is wrong with human beings?

Why do you still hope that there is an all-knowing and omnipotent existence to control yourself?What's the use of praying to God? Isn't it good to try hard?

No, when he saw the fox demon, he couldn't help but his teeth ached, and he felt that praying to God was still useful.

Why can't God send down a thunderbolt to kill this fool?

After the three organizations are mixed together, they are basically inseparable. Among the demon clan, there are species that cannot be seen at all, and there are also vampires and other people who are perfect in human form and cannot be seen as non-human if they do not take the initiative to expose them. Humans There are guys like Tong Yuan who can completely become monsters, even when they were young, they couldn't get rid of their own monster characteristics. Therefore, on the small pier that was built for five years in this sea area, artificial or demon workers created On the small island, all kinds of strangely dressed and strangely shaped guys directly overwhelmed those who looked more like humans.

It's just a monster party.

Some of them are talking about the spirit world. After all, in their memory, the spirit world really exists, or has really lived in the spirit world, and when they chat, they especially like to talk about dating under the stars, Tong Tong Yuan has heard countless stories about stars all the way, it seems that there is always a holy place about stars in the hearts of all monsters.

He even saw Andnus who listened to the story with his chest folded in regret, and the lady came in without any sense of disobedience.

Her regret is obvious, and Tong Yuan can guess directly that the lady is regretting that she has not been to the spirit world.

No, you don't have to.

Tong Yuan sighed, and accidentally went astray, and was pushed to the beach by the crowd. The underwater was still dark, as if the stars would not shine even if they were stuffed into them. If you go deep, you will be directly crushed by the water pressure, so the final decision is to send guys with space abilities down to have a look, and of course there are monsters with water skills.

The mermaid and the siren were quarreling not far away, and the quarreling turned into singing. Tong Yuan covered his face, the feathers on the back of his neck curled up, and covered his ears by the way.

Mermaids use sound waves to quarrel, that is to say, they cannot speak. Although the siren can speak when quarreling, his voice will confuse everyone close to him indiscriminately. Fortunately, Tong Yuan covered it early. He saw a small flower Jing looked dazed, staggered and almost fell headlong into the sea, and hurriedly fished the demon back.

Xiaohuajing was only the size of an adult's palm, so he just lay in his palm and fell asleep. Tong Yuan didn't know which group this guy belonged to, so he could only push aside this group, hoping that someone would recognize that this was his companion .

——The pier shouldn’t be built here first, why isn’t there even a lost and found station?

The goblin who is a lost property shakes off the shiny powder in his palm, and a gust of wind blows away half of it. It wasn't until he saw a vampire and a werewolf playing online games together that Tong Yuan suddenly realized that he was stupid, and took out his phone to take a picture The photo was kindly coded and sent to the group. Sure enough, after a while, kind people came out to claim it.

He stayed under the iconic flagpole, the sun was mottled and gentle, huge octopus tentacles jumped up from time to time on the calm sea, the sea water hit Tong Yuan's face, he turned around silently, the object of waiting came soon, It's a man with an embarrassed face, gentle and gentle, without any obvious characteristics of a monster.

"This is my wife."

Tong Yuan stared at each other with the gaze of "you are so brave".

"She's human too, she just changed accidentally..." The other party couldn't continue, thanked her in a hurry, hugged his wife and left, the tips of her ears were still red.

The couple left, but Tong Yuan raised his hand, the fairy powder in his palm was still shining.

It is said that goblin powder will bring good luck.

Haixia didn't fall asleep.

She felt that she thought about it day by day and dreamed about it at night, that's when she dreamed of the mermaid.

So she read the legend about the mermaid many times, ah, no, after the mermaid actually appeared, this should be an encyclopedia, she took out the encyclopedia, yawned and read it for a long time.

It is said that the first observed mermaid in the world is a red-haired mermaid who is often stationed near the lighthouse, and she is the only mermaid who can speak, or that humans can hear her sing.

The blurry photo was not clear, Haixia touched the red shadow on the screen with her thumb, why can't the mermaid speak?Vocal cord structure problem?

Fortunately, people like her who transform into mermaids don’t have this kind of problem. She just jumped out of bed, went to the bathroom and filled the bathtub with water. Now her tail can transform freely, and the doctor also praised her very powerfully. It is considered to be faster, at least, it does not affect the work problem, but whether I can still receive the job when I go back is a problem.

She glanced at her blue fishtail, and couldn't help but do some difficult poses in the bathtub.

"Baka"

"Ah... it hurts!"

Accidentally flashed his waist.

The tail of the fish has dreamy tones and blue tail fins, which are gentle to the touch. Haixia lay down in the bathtub with tears in her eyes for a long time before getting up, and suddenly remembered that she didn't add the contact information of her beautiful little brother, do it!She turned her tail into legs again. It was daylight, and she was lying on the bed with her chin in her hands, worrying. Looking for someone now is like cutting Sima Zhao's heart out for everyone to see.

Suddenly there was a group push on vx, it was pushed by a doctor, it was a group chat of the awakened people in the Flower Planting Country.

Haixia: =v=

There are quite a lot of familiar names in the group, Haixia gritted her teeth and swiped at each name, and changed a note to poke Tong Yuan. Not long after she put down the phone, the phone dinged.

As soon as the screen lit up, it wasn't Tong Yuan who replied, but the doctor's sister pushed her another group.

But... what the hell is the big seafood family?

This group is much better than the lifeless work group next door. Everyone swipes their screens frantically, and the pictures of various oceans that they swipe the most. Aquarium monsters are equivalent to friendly mutual aid groups.

Most of the people in the group were talking about the sea and water, and two guys who happened to be awakened and became natural enemies were arguing. At close range, it can be counted online. After contacting a lot of awakened people, Haixia finally awakened a little bit. Feelings, but nothing, except that she found that she was good at swimming, and she didn't have any awakening of great abilities. Maybe she can go to the swimming pool to be a rescuer in the future, or go to the aquarium to take pictures... Haixia's fingertips suddenly After a pause, she came across a picture that was said to be a "pilgrimage" photo, in which the red-haired mermaid appeared, which was much clearer than the photo on the encyclopedia, and it was still holographic. She shook her hands, letting The phone housekeeper projected the photo.

The projected picture became more three-dimensional, and Haixia couldn't help but look at it from a distance for a while, feeling extremely familiar.

But the mermaid she is most familiar with is obviously the virtual mermaid singer on the Internet.

And there is... from the previous dream.

But the dream was hazy, and most of it had been forgotten.

Haixia scratched her head, feeling a little bald... Forget it, life will still be the same after returning home, the relationship between this magical world and her is just the half-yearly door-to-door registration.

No. 11 is barefoot, with her toes lightly tapping the water surface, because she is here, and the small fish dare not come out of the water. If you look at the sea surface from the perspective of the sky, you will find her as the center of the circle, as if it has been emptied. The animals all ran in opposite directions.

At this moment, the mermaid who led a white whale back to the group swam towards her. Her red hair was half immersed in the water, floating like red bulbous algae. Now the mermaid half stood up in the water , while Number 11's tail wraps around her wrist.

The mermaid beckoned, and the beluga cub, which was hugely different in size, rubbed her and left by itself.

No. 11 put her hands on her hips and remained silent. In fact, she didn't understand what the mermaid did to Haixia, but five years was enough for them to form enough trust with each other, and the mermaid let her lead Haixia through brainwave communication. When Xia saw her, it seemed that it was just for a hug. In fact, after observing on the 11th, Haixia didn't have any problems.

As for the mermaid, as long as she is unwilling to communicate, no one can make her speak.

Then the mermaid raised her head, her wet red hair was close to her ears, and she raised the corners of her lips, showing a pure and gentle smile.

number 11:"……"

After she recovered from the charm, the mermaid returned to the sea.

Number 11: ==

"Ah... really cheating." Compared with humans, No. 11 is a little closer to non-humans. The process of her leaving the GRU was very tragic, and the monsters helped her a lot. It's so strange that humans didn't teach her feelings. These non-human guys have harvested it, not to mention that after No. 11 was completely transformed into a monster form, it turned out to be a white dragon, an oriental dragon.

... She still remembers the strange expressions of Cheng Jiao and the upper class of Huahua Country at that time.

So why did Fiona, that is, this red-haired mermaid want to meet Haixia? To be honest, No. 11 didn't find anything special about her at all. She easily found the girl's profile. , Why do you care so much?With this time, she might as well go to Chidan Strait to join in the fun.

The excitement in the Chidan Strait is not so easy to join in. The flower planting country is led by Wang Eryi, and Xia Zhe has other tasks.

"It's so rare, it's actually you, Brother Wang..." Tong Yuan bumped into an acquaintance, of course he went to say hello.

Hey, why did he say "rare", didn't he meet in Africa last month?

However, Brother Wang is really a miraculous person. Tong Yuan looked at Wang Eryi who was greeting everyone, why did Brother Wang manage to maintain a magical general sympathy with everyone he seemed to have met but was not familiar with at the same time.

Really, the density of demons here is too high, as if it is a gathering of fairies rather than some unknown creatures that are difficult to solve... It would be better to say that there is no shadow of the dangerous murderer that exists in the surveillance and human speech.

Tong Yuan sighed.

Look, they've even struck up a friendship.

Also pull him along.

Because of the time difference, the offshore platform at the Chidan Strait soon entered the night.

The red-haired mermaid Fiona is the first mermaid that humans have ever seen. Her abilities are spiritual communication and water control, and she can temporarily charm others through eye contact. She never speaks because she cannot speak at all and did not participate in the competition. She has passed a medical examination, so humans guess that it is her own body structure problem.

Today, it is also escorting lost creatures home in the sea.

The lighthouse is also lit today.

She lay on the reef and watched the starlight for a while, and then headed towards the Chidan Strait. There was more than one mermaid, because Fiona was very low-key, the mermaid who became an idol, the virtual idol image created by humans, the mermaids themselves Awakened mermaids are much more famous than her.

She didn't care about that either.

She cares about Haixia, and when Haixia awakened, Fiona got a sense in the dark. She wanted to find her, but she didn't know who this "she" was... If there are gods in this world, then, Will her prayers be answered?

So Wang Er also responded to her.

Fiona came to the island under the guidance, and then contacted No. 11.

She was satisfied when she finally understood what she was looking for after meeting him.

She was driving in the dark, as if she was going to leave the sun behind. The word jetlag invented by humans is really accurate. As long as the speed is fast enough, it seems that the passage of time can be turned into nothingness.

Do humans have souls?

Why are there monsters, goblins, elves...but no ghosts?

—Is every ghost reborn?

She began to wonder what was going on in the spirit world, but unfortunately she had never been to the spirit world.

If Wang Er is also here, there is no way to give her an answer.

The Chidan Strait is not deserted at all. I don’t know which non-human being drank too much, and actually spewed fire into the sky, and then Cheng Jiao started to rain locally on this place, and the raindrops wet the fur of the fox demon, so the fox demon turned black. With a face full of slaying dragons, seeing that the boss is also fighting, these guys started fighting so loudly... In fact, they are not so unreliable at ordinary times, but don't expect a group of monsters to have a sense of collective honor and army-like Orders and regulations prohibit, but the three monks have no water to drink. The more demons there are, the more they can hold each other back.

The humans didn't try to stop it. If there is a danger, they can still fight against the outside world, but if they try to stop it, these guys are likely to attack people together... At this moment, a strange thought suddenly appeared in everyone's mind. My mind exploded, as if something had been stuffed into it.

——This is the mermaid warning.

Then, the siren's song appeared, full of pain and fear, Tong Yuan blinked, and appeared in the sky within a few seconds, with stars and no moon, and the bright lights on the floating platform in the sea were the strongest and most conspicuous nearby It was like lighting a lighthouse.

Someone has already smelled the smell of blood floating from the sea.

Then came the furious roar of the dragon——

To be honest, that scene was shocking and magical, especially from the perspective of Tong Yuan looking down from the sky.

Most monsters have good night vision ability, and the awakened one like him is the same, he sees as if there are stars rising from the bottom of the sea, or someone lights up the ocean, and the sea water rolls back, he can't tell at this time Is it the power of a certain guy, or is it the concerted efforts of all beings to achieve this scene, he saw the injured being sent to Nick, he saw that half of the sea was frozen, not just someone dancing on tiptoe, and then Silver Moon When it descended, the dark clouds were dispersed, and the huge moon above the sea was like a silver plate, casting a reflection on the water.

Flying in the icy wind, he suddenly thought of what he looked like when he first flew.

It was also above the sea, but at that time he didn't even dare to flap his wings. At that time, it was approaching dusk, the lighthouse was shining brightly, and the underwater mermaid broke the surface of the water, and the tumbling foam left a long white trail.

They finally saw what the enemy was.

It was...a dream.

A drunken hallucination.

If you really want to call that existence, maybe you should call it "phantom".

Tong Yuan in the sky fell down and directly hit Cheng Jiao who was lying on the ground in his prototype, like a buffer, and everyone present and the monster were immersed in a dream.

Wang Er also walked forward slowly.

The moonlight is still there, eternal.

The silver moon is bright.

Although the existence of "phantom" was a misunderstanding caused by self-deception and hypnosis, since it started with a mirage, let it end with a mirage.

Are there really mirages in the world?

In the singing that seems to be nothing, all beings face their own fears in the illusion.

A mirage is an illusion that can be faked and turned into reality.

And what you "fear" is often what you desire most, which is inappropriate powerlessness.

Cheng Jiao saw a dragon.

Tong Yuan saw his mother's face.

Nick sees the bar splattered with blood.

Ludwig saw Victor smiling.

……

The hunter appeared silently, and Wang Er also threw the dream he woven casually to it, and the dream shattered and disappeared invisible the moment he touched the hunter.

Either Wang Er also swallowed this world, or he was swallowed by this world, there is no other answer.

As long as he exists, the Hunter is immortal.

What's ridiculous is that even if he wanted to kill the last hunter in the world, he had to be dragged into Haiming Town, because in the original world, Wang Er's influence on cause and effect was too weak.

There was a little light on the sea in the distance, and the mermaid Fiona poked her head out of the water, as if she was an outsider who inadvertently broke into some special party, with a panic that was out of place on her face.

Of course she saw Wang Eryi, she buried half of her face under the water, only revealing a pair of eyes reflecting Yinyue.

One is on the shore and the other is underwater, looking at each other from the air. It should be an extremely quiet atmosphere. The monsters affected by the illusion suddenly start dancing in a strange way. Fiona just shifted her gaze for a moment. Wang Er Also disappeared.

She was taken aback again.

However, this is not the time to be in a daze, the mermaid closed her eyes and began to try to connect everyone.

At that moment, she seemed to have experienced the joys and sorrows of everyone, and their emotions were linked to form a common sea with Fiona as the center.

The mermaid frowned and hid herself in the bottom of the sea.

There was no sound, but she still seemed to be able to hear many whispers.

That's... that's really...

[Mermaids are good at singing, and they are best at confusing passing tourists with their poignant and moving songs, but there is one that is not like this. She exchanged her singing for a chance to become a human, and at this time, the human girl longed to become a fish, so she disappeared into the world. In the ocean, the girl's name is Fiona, and the mermaid...names herself after the ocean itself. 】

[They switched bodies. 】

[Thousands of years have passed, Fiona has gradually forgotten that she was once a human being, and human beings age like every human being, but they will not die. They just lose all their memories at the end of everything, and then start from a baby again, repeating the ordinary life of human beings . 】

[Is there really such a thing as a soul in the world?Is the soul really immortal? 】

[But even with the fishtail again, Haixia still doesn't think about everything in the past. Is the difference between them the body... or the heart? 】

【Fiona doesn't have an answer either, but she won't disturb Haixia's life anymore. 】

Countless emotions gathered in her heart, but she only felt at a loss, everyone's anger, jealousy, hatred, powerlessness... She didn't know how to dispel it, so she tried to make them a fish.

Protruding from the depths of the seaweed, avoiding vicious predators, traveling thousands of kilometers driven by instinct, going to unfamiliar seas, seeing souls in pain and poverty one by one, escaping from human beings Hunting, picking up the food thrown from the boat, traveling through the starry sky and the setting sun, rushing to the sea area where the morning sun shines, picking up your favorite shell, which is painted with magnificent colors, as if the long life has been written on it , You may encounter phantoms and reflections on the sea surface, wrong paths and frenzied storms, strange seas, familiar seas, seem to be friends who leave color in your life.

Then, looking in the direction of the lighthouse...

go home.

The author has something to say: the countdown to the end.

It is expected to be completely completed on 7.31
