After becoming an octopus

They came to the private research institute where Zhang Rui worked. From the day the institute was established, Zhang Rui spent two-thirds of his time in the institute.

Zhang Zexi is very familiar with the layout of the research institute, because his father never goes home, and he sometimes lives in the research institute and does what he can, such as feeding the marine creatures living here.

"What's the truth here?" Zhang Zexi didn't really believe it. After all, he had been in this laboratory for a long time. If there was any secret, he should have discovered it earlier.

Zhang Rui didn't answer his muttering, but pulled out a small piece of floor in a corner of the laboratory. There was a groove under the floor, and there was a switch of the mechanism inside.

He did not know how to activate the mechanism, and a floor on the corner of the wall was removed, revealing a passage leading to the ground.

Zhang Zexi's eyes widened. He has been in this laboratory for so many years, but he has never discovered that there is a passage here.He grabbed Zhang Rui's wrist, excited but deliberately lowered his voice: "Dad! You can't think about it, you imprisoned people underground, let's do human experiments!" His bright face almost said 'Don't stray into it. Misguided' a few words.

"It's not a human experiment." Zhang Rui waved Zhang Zexi's hand away, "I'm not that eager for quick success."

Zhang Rui was very dissatisfied with his son's behavior of doubting his own character. If it wasn't his own, he would definitely arrest him first and do experiments.

Ignoring Zhang Zexi's worries, Zhang Rui entered the passage first.

Zhang Zexi and Gu Luo followed closely behind. The passage was not as dim as in the movie, but there were small street lights installed along the way.

Going down the small street lamp, after walking about a dozen meters away, a door appeared in front of you.

Zhang Rui took out the key and opened the door. Unlike the brightness at the stairway, the dim indoor environment can be seen through the crack of the door.

After entering the door, I found that the light inside was also turned on, but the weak light was not as strong as the light in the stairwell, and the room looked dim from the outside.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Zexi saw a huge water tank, which was dedicated to breeding marine life. The area of ​​the water tank almost occupied the entire basement, leaving only some small paths for easy access.

There is a complete set of breeding facilities in the water tank, and the oxygenator is bursting with bubbles, and the sound of the bubbles bursting is particularly abrupt in an exceptionally quiet environment.

There are a few small lights and a huge LCD TV screen in the water tank. I don’t know how to make the TV waterproof. Anyway, the TV is in the water tank at the moment.The latest popular program is playing on TV.In front of the LCD TV screen, there is a rockery. The size of the rockery is huge. Zhang Zexi is really curious, how the staff brought such a big rockery into the basement from the outside.

The surrounding area of ​​the rockery is simulated as a seabed ecosphere. Occasionally, a few small fish swim past the rockery without making much noise.Aside from bubbling, the TV was pretty much the only sound in the basement.

"Dad, what exactly are you taking us to see?" Zhang Zexi carefully observed the water tank, but found no sign of any large-scale creature activity.

Just as he was thinking this, what he thought was a rockery moved.

Zhang Zexi was completely unprepared and was taken aback.

But he quickly reacted, and saw that the rockery in front of him changed from blue-gray to a dull orange-red skin.

The rockery revealed his true face. What kind of rockery is this? It's simply a huge female octopus.

The huge body of the octopus is revealed. The special chair under him is actually a rockery made of materials, and the big octopus is lying on this rockery that is not too high, increasing the height and area of ​​the rockery.

The big octopus's attention was drawn to them for a moment, but it quickly returned to the TV show.

Gu Luo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, and said a few words coldly with his thin lips: "It's the emperor octopus."

Zhang Zexi obviously also noticed that the other party had the same kind of aura.

Why is there a differentiated female emperor octopus in the dark basement?

Why was I born without a mother.

Why did my father never mention my mother?

Zhang Zexi's heart beat faster.

The answer is about to come out...

"Could it be..." Zhang Zexi shrank his pupils, and said those two words in an unbelievable tone: "My mother!"

After speaking, he turned to look at his father, expecting to get a definite answer from him.

But Zhang Rui's complexion turned dark, and he said in a deep voice, "This is your great-grandmother."

"Great... great-grandmother?" Knowing that he had guessed the wrong answer, Zhang Zexi smiled dryly. He had never heard about his mother since he was a child, and he had never seen any video materials about his mother. Why? As soon as I saw a female octopus, I unconsciously guessed the role of 'mother'.

Zhang Zexi asked, "What about my mother?"

Zhang Rui sighed and said, "I don't know either."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Zhang Zexi looked at his father with a question mark on his forehead.

At this time, the TV program that was being broadcast soon entered the commercial time. At this time, the great-grandmother who was watching TV in front of the TV finally had the interest to look back at them.

Gu Luo's aura has always been very restrained, and the emperor octopus living in the water tank has not been discovered until now, and the one standing in front of him is a sea beast of their family.

Grandma Zeng came to them, separated only by a layer of bulletproof glass.

"Grandmother." Zhang Rui called out.

Gu Luo followed his father a little cautiously and called out: "Great-grandmother!"

The great-grandmother was in the water and conveyed with consciousness: "Are you my descendant?"

Zhang Zexi replied with consciousness transmission: "I guess it should be. My father is right, but why did I become an octopus? I was a normal human being before. If you are my great-grandmother, Then I should only have one-eighth of the octopus blood, so it should be because my father has a higher probability of becoming an octopus."

"Who said you only have one-eighth octopus blood?" Great-grandmother asked suspiciously, "Hasn't your father made it clear to you yet?"

Zhang Zexi said: "No, he is planning to tell me all the truth today."

At this time, after the advertisement ended, the program started to play again, and the great-grandmother said mercilessly: "Then let him explain it to you." After speaking, she returned to the TV and ignored her great-grandson.

Zhang Zexi had black lines on his face, he had no choice but to turn his head to look at Zhang Rui.

Zhang Rui asked, "Did you talk to your great-grandmother?"

Zhang Zexi nodded: "He said that I am more than one-eighth of the octopus blood, what's going on? Also, why can I enter the balanced sea?"

"As you can see, we are all descendants of the emperor octopus. Your great-grandmother is an emperor octopus from the deep sea. When the strength of differentiated creatures in the balanced sea reaches a certain level, they can all become human." Zhang Ruiyan Walking aimlessly with the water tank, "Some sea creatures in human form have landed ashore through some means, and have been living in the human world."

Zhang Zexi nodded. He knew all these things. Most of the sea creatures that came ashore were probably sharks. He didn't expect that there was an emperor octopus among them.

Zhang Rui walked to a cabinet, opened it, and took out a stone the size of a ping pong ball inside.

Zhang Zexi was very familiar with this stone, it was the guiding stone he used to go ashore, but the size of this guiding stone was so small that it was touching.

Zhang Rui handed the guiding stone in front of him, "I heard from your great-grandmother that this is the only thing that can connect with the balanced sea."

"I know all this, so where's my mother?" Zhang Zexi couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"I don't know either." Zhang Ruidao, "You also know that your great-grandmother is not a human being. As a marine creature, its destination is the deep sea. After your great-grandfather passed away, it planned to leave the human world and return to the balanced sea. But Your great-grandmother was injured, and what's more unfortunate is that the channel of the balance sea area changed more than twenty years ago, the barrier became more solid, his plan was hindered, and even with the guide stone, he couldn't bring it back Balance the sea."

Zhang Zexi asked: "So, are you trying to find a way to help your great-grandmother return to the balanced sea?"
