The Fallen Merman - Chap 82
Scientists did not give up easily. For the sake of safety, they no longer tried to drive the boat to Rimbaud’s side, but let divers with oxygen cylinders and cameras enter the water from a distance, and then dive to the edge of the reef. They often interact with marine animals. It is not difficult to deal with, even in the face of sharks, professional divers will not be afraid.
The two divers put on their own safety chainmail, entered the water on their backs with cameras, and swam close.
The red tide in this sea area is more serious than imagined. Due to the floating algae covering the upper layer, there is no sunlight in the lower seawater, oxygen is scarce, most corals are bleached and died, and fish carcasses can be seen everywhere.
The divers groped their way through the foul-smelling waters, and the scientists on board gathered in front of the observation screen to watch and take notes, but the screen was completely blocked by sewage, and the vision was dark, and nothing could be seen.
But a ray of light suddenly appeared in the dirt, the sea water seemed to be cut off by an invisible barrier, the outer ring was still foul and dirty, but the water in the inner ring was so clear and transparent that it was difficult to see impurities.
The divers knew that they had entered the area purified by the blue mermaid. The water was very clean. They were still three meters away from the reef, but they could clearly see the tip of the mermaid’s tail hanging in the water.
The sea area with a diameter of three meters centered on the blue mermaid has been completely purified. This purification is from the sea surface to the bottom. It is a cylindrical area. The area where the reef is located is about 12 meters deep. The entire 12-meter-high cylindrical sea area is as transparent as a piece. Blue-green glass.
Scientists held their breaths, discussing in amazement from time to time: “It’s incredible, his tail is always on, and the bubbles that appear when he stirs the water flow become a living jellyfish that swims.”
The sky was cloudy again, the last ray of light penetrating the clouds was blocked, and the sky darkened.
The scientists surrounding the observation screen burst into shocked cheers again: “God, the water around him is surrounded by jellyfish emitting blue light, and the reef he is on is like a dimly lit island. When he swims in the sea, it may look like A twinkling galaxy.”
The scientist turned back to the reporter’s camera and said, “The senior called him thedeepsun deep-sea sun when he first observed him, and now it seems that his name is indeed well-deserved.”
The water surface is so clear that the creatures underwater and on the water can clearly see each other. When the diver tried to get close to the mermaid, he suddenly found that the mermaid on the shore was watching him.
Rimbaud sat on the reef bored and found two weak humans approaching cautiously, so he watched them toss in the water to relieve his boredom.
The diver lost his composure for a few seconds as he met those breathtaking blue eyes, before he dared to surface and pushed the camera closer to Rimbaud.
Rimbaud looked at him, his eyes had no pupils and no focus, and the diver couldn’t tell if he was really looking at him.
A slight wave pushed the two divers away, but the diver found he had no intention of attacking and moved the camera closer to get a close-up of Rimbaud’s scales.
Scientists clenched their fists on the shore to observe this extraordinary appearance.
“It’s very strange. His upper body is wrapped in a medical bandage, which is not seen in the observation video 70 years ago. He has a smooth and slender back. Maybe he was entangled in the medical waste discarded by humans, or he may have picked it up. After I got this bandage, I liked it very much, so I wrapped it around my body, and then boldly guessed whether the mermaid would have weaving skills like the mermaid who could weave silk in Eastern mythology.”
“We dare not rescue him, but hopefully our divers can take some samples from the bandages on him for us to study.”
The diver took out the tool scissors and approached Rimbaud carefully, trying to remove a small sample for observation from the bandage wrapped around his upper body.
At the same time, Bai Chunian, who was sitting in front of the TV and watching the live broadcast, stood up and said, “I got the bandages from the medical society. Why are you still taking off your clothes? The foreigners are getting more and more excessive.”
Rimbaud lifted the fish’s tail lightly, with a wave at the tip of his tail, and whispered ethereally: “goon, bigi. Go away, human.”
The camera shakes as the diver is shot into the water by the surging spray. But they persisted and did not leave, because they saw a scene that they had never imagined in their lives.
Another mermaid alpha with a flaming red and gorgeous fish tail swam from the deep sea in the distance and broke into this circle of clean water embarrassedly. The blue mermaid on the shore is not the same.
Followed by countless colorful mermaids, they swam from the deep sea, the turbid and rotten water became slightly clear because of their arrival, and hundreds of mermaids converged on the blue mermaid on the shore, but Stop and wander on the edge of the clear waters, looking at the king on the shore, like a sad pilgrimage.
The red-tailed mermaid alpha surfaced, and half of his toned naked body floated on the sea, but his body was covered with crimson claw marks that had not yet healed, turned white by the sea foam, and the wounds on his body formed a distorted grimace pattern.
A scientist on the shore who has a deep understanding of mermaids explained: “This is a sign of exile in the mermaid group. When a mermaid causes public anger, it will be fiercely attacked by the clansmen. The mermaid’s sharp claws and the special pheromone they secrete. Permanent scars are left on the outcast, and the exile can only leave the pack to fend for themselves. Most merfolk who leave the pack die.”
Driven by the hundreds of mermaids behind him, the red-tailed mermaid climbed up the reef in embarrassment.
“siren, bolieakelaknoliyaniy I’m really sorry about the past.”
“kimogoonmoyabolieaglarbo your leaving makes us miserable”
“iefnonkimobuligi, bolieachangmilayer we can’t live without your nurture, literally translates as we’ll always be babies”
“cabeansemuansi. The Caribbean is completely ruined”
“bolieanowaabandakimo. We shouldn’t banish you”
“fanlibkimo, bolieayouyi. Betrayed you, I am guilty”
The scientists on board were stunned. Although they included linguists who studied merman, they could only understand part of what he meant.
The British scientist sighed: “He is waiting for his subjects to pick him up, proud king.”
Rimbaud glanced at his nails casually and asked softly, “athie what did they say?”
Hearing Wang’s question, the underwater mermaids swam to the shallow sea and surrounded the reef where Rimbaud was lying. tip of the tail.
“siren,” they called him honorably, “bolieafanloth. We were deceived.”
Among the mermaids was an omega holding a baby wrapped in a wide kelp swaddling shell with decorative shells sewn on with jellyfish tentacles that looked like lace trims.
The bright brown eyes of the little baby flickered and flickered, shaking the short, thick gray fishtail and reaching out to Rimbaud to hug him.
Rimbaud raised a hand and gently covered the baby’s eyes with the palm of his hand.
At the same time, his fish tail was tightly wrapped around the neck of the red-tailed mermaid who pleaded guilty, and the tip of the charged tail was ruthlessly tightened.
Rimbaud raised his powerful long tail, and the mermaid was brutally suspended in the air by him, and the fish tail swayed, splashing a large amount of water.
Rimbaud hoisted him in front of him, and suddenly the sharp claws stretched out his fingertips, and the sharp-edged claws tore a blood-red wound on his chest, and the white bones and flesh were broken together.
But he wasn’t dead yet, and Rimbaud didn’t destroy his vitals.
With the next blow, Rimbaud cut off half of his tail.
The sea water around the reef was dyed red by the blood of the mermaid, and the body of the red-tailed mermaid was torn into pieces and thrown into the water, slowly sinking to the seabed.
The bandage wrapped around Rimbaud’s body was dyed red, and the blood mixed with the sea water dripped into the crevice of the reef along his fingertips. All the fish around dared to bow their heads in silence.
Rimbaud moved his hand from the baby’s eyes.
When he removed the palm of his hand, the baby’s reopened eyes turned bright golden-orange, its pupils seemed to be filled with broken stars, its small fish tail was about a foot longer than before, and its scales changed from ordinary gray to gray. It was golden, and the fins hung down like misty gold veils.
“goon. Let’s go” Rimbaud said indifferently
Take me to meet your current king and see how he manages the country like this.
He jumped, drew a blue light and shadow from the air, and entered the water lightly, followed by a large group of mermaids.
The waters Rimbaud passed through became visibly clear, the algae disappeared, and the floating bodies sank to the seabed.
His fish tail stirred rapidly, bubbles appeared as he swam, thousands of blue-light jellyfish floated in it, jellyfish rubbed against the bodies of the followers, the dull color of those mermaids gradually became incomparably gorgeous, and at the same time the seas they passed through It has also been purified just as neatly.
The divers were stunned, forgetting they were still in the water, and the scientists on board completely forgot what they were doing.
An old scientist slumped to the ground in a daze, tearful, took off his glasses and began to cry: “I have never seen such a magnificent sight in my life.”
The news broadcast ended here, and Bai Chunian in front of the TV couldn’t get out of those pictures for a long time.
“Siren.” Bai Chunian stretched out his fingertips and spelled it on the ground, “Is this his original name?”
Han Xingqian also gained a lot during this period. He closed the notepad and pen, and said some of his conclusions: “It seems that not all fish have a strong purification ability. This ability is probably given to them by Rimbaud.”
“I’m speculating that their leader election system is whether a mermaid born with a special gift will be elected as the leader, or whether he will gain the gifted ability after a leader is elected.”
“He’s very tired.” Bai Chunian sat on the ground with his hands on his knees, and said lightly, “He didn’t look like this when he was with me.”
“Okay, you don’t need to stress anymore.” Han Xingqian raised his eyebrows, “You must not dress like this to show off your mark, I know.”
“I will apply for an overseas assignment with the president to see if there is anything I need to do, either in South America or North America, no salary, free overtime.” Bai Chunian began to edit the application.
Suddenly, Bai Chunian suddenly received a communication alert.
The detection station sent an alert, reporting that an unknown helicopter was approaching 30 kilometers away from Aphid Island.
Bai Chunian became vigilant, picked up the communicator and explained: “Three-level alert, air defense missiles are in place, security personnel are in place, I will be there soon.”
“receive.”
Bai Chunian rushed to the detection station in time, and the detection personnel showed him real-time air defense detection images.
A white helicopter appeared in the cloudless sky. The helicopter was painted with a cute rabbit head and two ears were made into propellers. It looked like a rabbit flying over with a flowery hand.
Bai Chunian: “”
