Mermaid Effect

The light of the mobile phone was fixed in that place, and half a minute later, the light, like the reflection of the pupil of a creature, remained motionless.

Rand couldn't help getting closer.

He sees a fish.

"call……"

He was relieved.

It was indeed a fish—about ten centimeters long, struggling to stay in a half-dry groove in a reef.

Rand has never seen such a fish before. It has a slender body and a dull gray color. It has a pointed head and a pair of round eyes. Behind the eyes is a circular fluorescent pattern of the same size. Just now Rand The reflection seen is exactly from this pattern.

Looks like just normal fish.

Probably some fish brought by the sea at high tide got stuck there at low tide.

"Poor little thing."

Rand took out his pen, trying to get the fish out of the groove and throw it back into the sea.The fish struggled weakly, and only then did Rand see the scar on the other side of its body.

As if bitten by something, blue blood poured out from the bright red flesh.Well, Rand had to admit that this ordinary fish seemed not so ordinary. After all, he had never seen a fish with bright red muscle tissue and fluorescent blue blood like a human.

But it is undeniable that things in the deep sea are always a little strange.After the initial surprise, Rand didn't care about the strangeness of blood and flesh.He was just a little hesitant to let the fish back into the sea. Obviously, it was seriously injured, and even if it returned to the sea, it was very likely to be hunted and killed by predators.And stay here?After high tide, it will still be submerged by sea water.

It was like being possessed by some strange thought.

Inexplicably, he decided to take the fish back and release it back into the sea until the fish's wounds healed.

After some initial hesitation, Rand sacrificed his sports bottle and barely put the fish in it.

Of course, the process was not smooth.The pen is not a very good tool for dealing with fish. After a difficult observation of the fish's mouth without sharp teeth, Rand had to catch the fish with his bare hands-and the uncomfortable thing was that the fish After touching Rand's hand, something similar to a suction cup popped out from inside the lips, and it attached to the wound on Rand's palm.What's even more frightening is that Rand hardly noticed it until he was about to put the fish in the bottle but found that the fish couldn't get out of his hand. Then he discovered the damn sucker.

After breaking away from the suction cup, there was only a dull white line raised from the wound on the palm of the hand, and all the blood was gone.

Rand felt a little sick, but the darkening sky and the noise of the waves on the reef left him no time to worry too much.

Resisting the desire to throw the fish back into the sea, Rand finally returned to land with the weird fish.

When the dazzling red sports car starts to drive to the city, let us turn the camera back to the reef where Rand stayed.

Beneath the reef, the high tide beat the reef chaotically, causing intense currents.

A rock in the depths of the water was loose, and something like black algae slowly fell off.

A pale corpse swayed under the impact of the water. It had an unusually strong body and a handsome face. However, from the belly down, there was no connection between the human legs... There was only a thick fish tail.

"Beep-"

In the compartment, Rand was driving the car when he heard the sound of the mobile phone.

He glanced at the caller ID, Vincent's name was beating.

An imperceptible shadow floated on Rand's cheek, but after a moment's pause, he finally answered the phone.

"Rand, where are you?"

A cold, mechanical voice came from the other end of the microphone.

"I... just set off from the interview site to go home."

Rand tried hard not to make any fluctuations in his voice.

"The place you are going today is the Blue Moon Coast."

On the other end, Wen Sen looked at the documents in his hand, his handsome face was covered with frost.The security guard in black involuntarily glanced in his direction, and his back was soon drenched in cold sweat.

"Are you following me again?"

Rand's voice was more tired than angry.

Vincent didn't even answer his question.

"Leaving the Blue Moon Coast, immediately, I will send someone to pick you up."

"Hey, I'm already gone, you don't have to—"

Rand heard the busy signal on the other end of the phone, sighed deeply, and angrily threw the phone at the co-pilot.

He was still driving the car, and he, who was immersed in his own emotions, naturally didn't notice that on this highway connecting the Blue Moon Coast and surrounding cities, there was no other car passing by except his own car.

Blue Moon Coast——

The body of the mermaid was salvaged by silent soldiers.

The extremely bright portable spotlights were turned on, and the reef was covered with a blue tarpaulin on which the body rested, bathed in white light.

The ashen-faced researcher stretched out his hand in plastic gloves and turned the mermaid over. He brushed the seaweed-like thick hair to one side, and then took a breath.

"This……"

Another person leaned over, looking at what appeared under the light, his body trembled.

There is a wound on the back of the merman's skull, no, that description is too inaccurate.

To be precise, the back of the mermaid's skull was split open.

Like an overripe nut with a half-cracked shell, the merman's skull was smoothly split open with a long, narrow slit.

No blood, no spilled brains, and the cracks were exceptionally clean.

"Oh, don't tell me it's real... oh god... it broke through..."

The latter person stumbled back two steps, as if the corpse in front of him would come to life, and fell to the ground in fear.

"Calm down Steve," the researcher frowned and said, if his voice wasn't too hoarse, he would even look calm, "No, it's not broken shell."

He suddenly broke open the mermaid's skull with his hands—the skull, which should be extremely hard in theory, was easily broken apart, almost like an egg shell.

What remained inside the skull was exposed, a light yellow fetal sac, if it was full, it should be the size of a fist, and the remaining half of the body in the fetal sac.

Gray slender body with circular patterns.

If Rand was here, he should be able to tell at a glance that this thing is almost exactly the same as the one in his kettle.The only difference was that the one that appeared in front of the researchers now only had skin, and the bright red muscles and blue blood were completely gone.

The researcher's face was as gray as a dead person's.

"The parasitic eggs we left in Experiment No. 7371 did not hatch. On the contrary, Experiment 7371 swallowed the parasitic eggs and escaped as larvae."

"Swallow? That's impossible, that project has never been successful..."

The coward called Steve spoke in panic. He was unwilling, or rather, afraid to imagine all this.

"Go and report," the researcher looked at Steve with extreme despair, "We let the most evil and powerful creation in the world come to the world."
