under the sea

"Is it the Sea Clan?" He Zexi frowned, staring at the black shadow on the bottom of the sea without blinking.

"En." Hua Zhi replied, then moved closer to He Zexi, hugging him affectionately from behind.Lowering his eyes, he looked at his fair neck under the fine black hair, and said, "Honey, it's time to go to bed."

He Zexi was thinking about the miraculous marine life that Lin Qiu said that day from the Manduo Company, and the connection between the tsunami and the screams he accidentally heard when he called the professor. He heard Hua Zhi urging him to go to bed.

go to bed?

He Zexi pointed out the window with black lines all over his head, and asked Huazhi, "Look at that big, round thing outside?"

Glancing at the warm yellow sun, Hua Zhi was silent for a while, then walked to the window expressionlessly.

Close the curtains to block all the sunlight coming in from the outside, and return to He Zexi. Hua Zhi leaned her whole body against the desk, blocking He Zexi's sight of staring at the computer screen, and said slowly: "It's dark now." .”

He Zexi: "..."

He Zexi got up and opened the curtains again, Huazhi's face suddenly became dark.

He snorted coldly and went back to his room to sleep by himself.

He Zexi watched the video for a while, then picked up the newly bought mobile phone by the table to check the time.

It's two thirty in the afternoon.

It's still early, he can go back to the research institute.

After running away for so many days, it's time to ask the right questions.And that captured thing...he wanted to see what it was.

There is only one possibility that can make a sea clan go crazy and out of control.

He Zexi pursed his lips and looked out the window, with a vague guess in his heart.

Picking up the mobile phone and calling the professor, He Zexi got up and walked to the door of the bedroom.

In the room, Hua Zhi was lying on the bed with her head covered, only half of her hair was exposed, motionless, she seemed to be asleep.

After closing the door lightly, He Zexi was about to go out.

In the room, Huazhi sat up instantly. He stared at the closed bedroom door. After thinking for a while, he decisively opened the quilt and got up.

He Zexi might be going out to make trouble again, he has to go out with him to have a look.

in the laboratory.

Professor He Yuan hung up the phone, and calmly said to Lin Qiu beside him, "Open the door."

The door of the laboratory opened slowly, and a strange sea smell came from the dark enclosed space.

The white light switch was flicked, and researchers in white coats hurried in.

"The device is working fine."

"The display is functioning normally... working."

"Drip-drip-"

Professor He Yuan looked close to the monitor, which showed slow breathing and heartbeat. Professor He Yuan couldn't help but frowned, "Is she still sleeping?"

"It's been 24 hours since the sedative, logically she should have woken up." The male staff member sitting in front of the computer replied.

It shouldn't be...Professor He Yuan looked at the display device, the creature's heartbeat was getting slower and slower, and his breathing was getting slower and slower. His heart tightened, and he hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Quick, open the black cloth to see what's inside. !"

"Yes." Lin Qiu put down the test tube in his hand, walked a few steps to the big iron cage, and stretched out his hand to pull away the black cloth.

A huge square iron cage appeared in front of everyone in the laboratory. Inside the iron cage was a large glass tank filled with seawater. In the middle of the clear and transparent water lay a long-haired woman, her face pale and frightened. Mouth slightly open, eyes staring blankly upwards.

There were many scars on her body, from which rose red blood flowed out.

Suddenly irradiated by strong light, the pupils of the woman inside shrank instantly, and then turned dark white. Her eyeballs seemed to be covered with a white film, which looked weird and terrifying.

She turned her head abruptly, stood up in the tank like lightning, and lay down on the glass, screaming sharply and angrily at the researcher who suddenly appeared in front of her.

She is not human.

The iron cage began to shake violently again, and she began to look for a way to escape, and the water in the glass tank also splashed randomly with her movements.

Professor He Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not die.

"Ah! Ah—let...let me go back!"

A vague sentence, but everyone in the laboratory was stunned, was she talking just now?

Well... amazing language learning ability!

Their eyes fell on the terrified and angry woman lying in the water tank, the expression on her face was full of disbelief.

Sure enough, it is a highly intelligent humanoid creature living in the deep sea.

Not only did his life span reach an unbelievable level, but his brain function was also shocking.

That's why Mando came to them... longevity is what they want.

Professor He Yuan is much calmer than the others. He has known for a long time that this creature has extraordinary intelligence and learning ability, but he can't figure out why this new type of human cannot adapt to life on land. Obviously He Jersey Adapted well.

Looking at the new type of human beings who collapsed in the big water tank and seemed to be losing their vitality, Professor He Yuan fell into deep thought.

Could it be that some of them can only live in the deep sea forever?

"Professor," a staff member came in from outside the door and reported back: "Manduo Company sent someone over today and said they want to see the progress of the research."

Professor He Yuan frowned suddenly, why did they come here today... Thinking that He Zexi would also come later, Professor He Yuan suddenly felt a headache.

It was impossible for him to bring He Zexi into this laboratory.

He took off his gloves and whispered to Lin Qiu: "I'll leave this to you, I'll go out first."

"Okay, Professor."

"Prepare to take a sample, take a blood sample..."

……

The top-secret laboratory door was closed. Professor He Yuan glanced at the staff leading the way, and asked as he walked, "How long have they been here?"

"I arrived 10 minutes ago, and I am waiting for you in the reception hall. I hope you can show them around our work."

"I'll go by myself, you are busy with your work."

"it is good."

"Wait, if Jersey comes over later, you... take him around the building first, and tell him that I will call him later. Remember, don't take him to the secret research laboratory."

"Okay, Professor."

***

He Zexi went out and took a taxi directly.

After arriving at the destination, the car stopped. Through the glass window of the taxi, He Zexi looked at the magnificent modern building in front of him, and suddenly realized that during his absence, their research institute had really changed. much better.

Without him, the professor and they can get along just fine.

After paying the money, he got up and got out of the car. He Zexi got out of the car and strode towards the research building.

Not long after he left, Hua Zhi also arrived.

The taxi driver held his steering wheel, looked through the rearview mirror at the man sitting in the back seat of his car, covered himself tightly like a paparazzi, and reminded, "Get out of the car?"

"Okay, thank you."

Huazhi nodded calmly in thanks, then pulled the door hard and got out of the car.

The taxi driver saw the man sneaking away after getting off the car, and his face darkened.

No matter how polite he is, no matter how nice his voice is, he can't hide the fact that he didn't pay the fare.

The taxi driver turned off the engine, pulled out the car key, and hurried to catch up, reminding, "Brother, you forgot to pay."

money?

Huazhi froze, seeing He Zexi getting farther and farther away, so he decided to pretend he couldn't hear, and continued walking forward,

When the taxi driver saw his reaction, his attitude became a little bad. He couldn't help but rushed forward and grabbed Huazhi's arm, and said angrily, "Why, are you going to give it?"

Huazhi turned her head, her dark eyes stared at the angry taxi driver, and she remained motionless.

One minute later, Huazhi tore off the hand that was holding onto her arm.

The taxi driver standing there was in a trance. He didn't look at anything else. He turned around with his eyes blank, returned to the car, looked ahead, and drove mechanically with his hands on the steering wheel, as if he had been attacked. What kind of bewitchment.

He Zexi didn't notice that there was a sneaky tail behind him. The security of the research building was very strict. As soon as he approached the gate, he was stopped by the special police with guns. he goes in.

Walking into the building, He Zexi couldn't help but look back at the impenetrably surrounded building.

Lin Qiu said that the professor has been dismissed, but how could such a large-scale protection be out of the country's sight?

Turning around and walking straight to the staff at the front desk, He Zexi asked her where Professor He Yuan was.

Another staff member next to him heard He Zexi's words, looked at him hesitantly, and then asked aloud, "Are you He Zexi?"

He Zexi nodded in surprise.

He doesn't know her.

"I'm sorry, my name is Liu Su, and I'm a staff member here. There was an unexpected situation today. Professor He Yuan is currently receiving distinguished guests, and there is no way to rush over. He said he would come to you after work in a while. He told me to show you around our research building." The female staff member looked at He Zexi calmly with a smile on her face.

This legendary figure... the only survivor of the shipwreck of the God-seeking Project, and the most valued adopted son of Professor He Yuan, even took the initiative to shelve his previous research project in order to find him.The appearance of me is not much different from what she imagined, with a gentle and indifferent demeanor, and a pair of deep, dark eyes.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, this way please."

He Zexi followed behind her, listening to her introduce the layout of the building and the development of the institute in the past six months.

He Zexi frowned and listened to her. At this moment, the elevator in front was suddenly opened, and then a short-haired woman with a medical kit came out. Her expression was neither sad nor happy, and she calmly brushed past the two of them. However, there was a faint smell of blood on his body.

He Zexi frowned, he stopped, and looked back at her back, "Who is she?"

Hearing what He Zexi said, the female staff member replied, "Her name is Mi Li, and she is a senior researcher in our research institute. I'm about to be promoted to the professor's special assistant."

"Special assistant?"

He Zexi thought of another young woman besides Lin Qiu when the professor went to country A to look for him.

Although he had little contact with her before, he vaguely remembered that she was a good work partner, responsible, down-to-earth and nice to others.

Did she quit?

"Where's that assistant named Liu Liu? Is she not doing it?" He Zexi asked casually.

"Liu Zhu resigned a week ago." The female staff member smiled, "We didn't expect her to leave...she left suddenly."

The staff laughed helplessly at Liu Zhu's leaving without saying goodbye, while He Zexi, who was standing by the side, froze.

A week ago...

He remembered the distress call he had received and was told by the police that it was domestic violence.
