Soul Mechanic [Interstellar]

[A mermaid with a hard life]

The singing is getting closer, and it seems to be deliberately attracting their attention.

Mu Qiu involuntarily manipulated the jellyfish spacecraft to approach in the direction from the singing.

Chu Qingtian confessed, and took Aubrey and the others into deep-sea diving suits to protect the spacecraft.

The jellyfish spacecraft focuses on sightseeing and scientific research. Firepower is a weakness. The guides in the ship are more important than their lives and must be foolproof.

In contrast, the guides were not so nervous, and they couldn't feel the slightest maliciousness from the singing.

Little Gore insisted that the other party was crying, and Mu Qiu also faintly noticed that the singing was very sad.

"Gore, can you hear what he is singing?" Mu Qiu suddenly thought of Little Gore's ability, "Close your eyes, concentrate, and try to stretch out your tentacles."

Gore obediently complied, opened his eyes again after a while, and said, "Brother, he said let us go with him."

"He sang so many sentences, do you hear this one?" As a teacher, Elsa is a little strict with her students.

Simon defended the little guy, "That...person, probably a person, he sings the same sentence over and over again."

"Can you hear it too?" Elsa was surprised.

"The pronunciation is the same." Simon said naturally.

Mu Qiu didn't join the conversation. He carefully judged the changes in his voice, and found that the singing voice was getting farther away. He quickly gestured to Chu Qingtian and controlled the spacecraft to follow carefully.

There are three driving modes for the jellyfish spacecraft. When underwater, ten whisker-shaped tentacles will extend from the edge of the umbrella-shaped spacecraft, which simulates the horizontal or vertical movement of a jellyfish; when on land, the whisker-shaped tentacles become hard claw-shaped. With a strong grip function, the only drawback is that it is not very good at damping; when navigating in the air, the spacecraft will retract all parts that are likely to cause resistance and rotate forward like a flying saucer.

At this time, the spacecraft was completely transparent like a jellyfish, glowing with a faint blue light, moving forward with tremors and tremors.

The sentries still guarded the outside of the spacecraft, tacitly following the direction of the spacecraft ascending or descending, and their formation remained the same.

The singing is high and low, never stopping.

The spacecraft gradually left the coral area and passed through a thicket of algae. The surrounding light suddenly disappeared, and all kinds of seabed creatures were also gone. The altitude displayed on the navigation instrument was -8800 meters, and they seemed to have entered an extremely deep trench.

Mu Qiu felt a little strange. There was obviously no ocean current movement around, but the water temperature displayed on the meter suddenly rose, even reaching 10 degrees Celsius.

Mu Qiu investigated in advance that under normal conditions, the water temperature of the Andromeda water system stays at about 17 degrees Celsius all year round, and the water temperature drops by 1-2 degrees Celsius for every 1,000 meters of altitude drop. From the spacecraft's voyage records, it can be clearly seen that the water temperature did conform to this rule before that, until it crossed the algae belt, the water temperature suddenly increased like a watch.

Mu Qiu felt a little uneasy.

Through the transparent shell, Chu Qingtian looked over.

Mu Qiu quickly adjusted his mood, smiled at him, and said, "Don't worry."

Only then did Chu Qingtian nod his head and continued to observe the surroundings vigilantly.

Mu Qiu calmed down a bit, and stretched out his tentacles again, feeling the emotional changes in front of him-indeed without any malice.

The singing has not stopped, and the spacecraft has been diving in the direction of the sound.

When the dive was close to -10,000 meters, the blue dot on the detector, representing the unidentified intelligent life, finally stopped.

Mu Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to call back Chu Qingtian—even if the diving suit was advanced, it would be uncomfortable to be in such a deep place after all.

However, Chu Qingtian shook his head, and the others did not intend to return to the spaceship.

Mu Qiu didn't intend to waste time on this kind of issue, so he speeded up and leaned in the direction of the blue dot.

Turning a piece of protruding boulder, the spacecraft was blocked in its way—right in front, there were two huge and hard reefs almost close to each other, leaving only a narrow slit that could be passed by one person, like a small Gate.

In front of the door, is that... a mermaid? !

Mu Qiu was stunned, the sentry guide inside and outside the ship and Lu Xun were all stunned-the Academy of Sciences did not make up stories, there are really people and fish in the sea!

At this time, the two mermaids formed a confrontation pattern, their thin lips closed one after another, their white arms and tails of various colors also flicked back and forth, as if they were arguing fiercely.

The people inside and outside the ship could not hear the sound, but they were a little dizzy and nauseous, obviously the frequency was unknown.

Mu Qiu turned on the frequency modulator in the spacecraft, and the electronic screen whizzed through the rows of frequency spectrum, but for a few seconds, he heard only a beep, and a clear and sweet tone came out from the cockpit.

—Still don’t understand.

Mu Qiu should have thought of it long ago!

Little Gore stood beside Mu Qiu and gently tugged at the corner of his clothes.

Mu Qiu lowered his head and touched the little guy's head, "Is it uncomfortable?"

Little Gore shook his head and said worriedly: "Brother, they are arguing."

Mu Qiu was overjoyed, "You can understand."

Little Gore nodded, "That fish—" He pointed to the beautiful mermaid with golden hair and golden tail guarding the door, "I blame the one who brought us back." He pointed to another green hair. Tailed.

"Gore, listen carefully to what they are saying, and translate it to brother."

The little guy nodded obediently, and translated with a straight face.

"Tara, how many lessons do you need to understand? Last time you brought the evil shark back, and almost ate the mermaid eggs, and injured the patriarch. This time you brought this strange big guy, how well are you? What heart?!"

"Iger, I said, it was the patriarch who asked me to go out to find a helper! This is the patriarch's order!"

"Believe in you to have a ghost. You must have caused some misfortune. People came here! You have been a troublemaker since you were a kid."

"No! You didn't believe me since you were young, and you still don't believe me. In that case, I don't want to tell you anything. Get out of the way. I will take them to the patriarch."

"Don't think about it! I won't allow you to make a second mistake."

"I said, it was a mistake last time! Get out of it—"

"No!"

There was a fierce quarrel over there, and little Gore did his best to translate, and even learned 70% to 80% of his facial expressions.

Suddenly, the golden mermaid looked over suddenly, seeming to be aware of their eavesdropping behavior, opened his mouth, and violently attacked with sharp sound waves.

Mu Qiu was shocked, reflexively stretched out his tentacles, passed through the spaceship, and blocked the front of Chu Qingtian.

At the same time, Chu Qingtian raised a spiritual barrier to protect the entire spacecraft.

Anxiously, Mu Qiu didn't do anything to converge. A huge spiritual wave hit the bottom of the sea, and even Chu Qingtian fell to the bottom of the sea unsteadily, not to mention the golden mermaid who was the first to be blown off.

The green mermaid was shocked to see his companion hit the hard rock. He rushed over, hugged the opponent tightly, then turned his head and looked in the direction of the spaceship in horror.

Mu Qiu touched his nose, smiled apologetically at the enraged sentinels, and then looked at the two mermaid questioningly—he didn't understand why the green mermaid, who was very friendly just now, suddenly became full of alert?

He spread his hands, walked to the sightseeing cabin, and one step further, he was about to step out of the spaceship.

The two merfolk took two steps back, showing a more obvious vigilant color.

At this moment, a tall mermaid suddenly slipped out of the narrow slit, wearing a white veil robe, with a cold temperament and blue hair reaching the ground—the whole person is like the only luminous body in this deep seabed, so beautiful that it makes people move. Do not open your eyes.

"&Amp;*!" The faces of the two young fish were obviously excited and worried, and they seemed to be guilty.

Little Gore learned the lesson and secretly said in Mu Qiu's ear: "They are calling the ‘patriarch’."

Mu Qiu smiled and touched the little guy's head, "Gore, do you know what they say?"

Gore shook his head, fearing Mu Qiu's disappointment, and quickly said, "Brother, I don't need to talk about it!"

Mu Qiu didn't know why.

"I don't have to say it, I can...speak." The little guy has a poor vocabulary, so he can only stretch out his tentacles and use expressions and movements to let Mu Qiu understand what he means.

Mu Qiu did understand that Little Gore could use the spirit wave to communicate with each other.

But, will it be dangerous? Mu Qiu hesitated.

As if to prove himself, Little Gore didn't wait for Mu Qiu to speak, and directly extended his tentacles in front of the mermaid patriarch, and "speaking" solemnly.

Fortunately, the other party did not make any extra moves, but was "listening" earnestly. In the end, the pale lips closed together, and a clear and melodious tone sounded like a natural sound in the cabin—but he couldn't understand it.

"Brother, he asked what we are here for."

"Because I heard someone singing, so come and have a look."

Little Gore conveyed this meaning.

The patriarch turned his head and glanced at the green mermaid next to him. There was no expression, but the other party wrinkled that delicate face with fear.

The golden mermaid spoke, seeming to be defending his partner.

The patriarch of the mermaid didn't say anything. He looked back in Mu Qiu's direction, his lips opened and closed.

"Brother, he said let us leave as soon as possible."

Mu Qiu nodded, motioned to Chu Qingtian and the others, then started the spaceship and slowly backed away.

Before they could go far, a mermaid suddenly appeared in the narrow slit, the expression on his face seemed very anxious, and intermittent voices came from the cabin.

The patriarch of the mermaid frowned, flicked his tail, and turned into the narrow slit. The two young mermaids were shocked and followed the patriarch in a hurry. The mermaid who reported the letter looked curiously at the direction of the spaceship and followed.

Before Mu Qiu could ask, Little Gore took the initiative to translate: "The man just said that the'evil shark' is coming again—brother, what is the'evil shark'?"

"The bad guy among the sharks?" Mu Qiu laughed after he finished speaking. This kind of explanation couldn't even deceive Little Gore.

Sure enough, the little guy wrinkled his nose and obviously didn't believe it.

At this time, the spacecraft turned over the largest reef and was about to enter the open land.

Mu Qiu pressed on the sound-transmitting device of the spacecraft and said to the sentries outside: "Do you want to come in? Let's go back to the coral area soon."

Chu Qingtian nodded and waved to clairvoyance to let him go first.

Mu Qiu opened the external hatch, and sea water poured in instantly. The sentries entered one by one, and Chu Qingtian came up last.

Mu Qiu closed the cabin door and pressed the pumping device. There was a blast of noise, and the compartment between the outer door and the inner door instantly became dry, leaving only the warm, warm wind blowing.

The sentinels took off their heavy diving suits, with relaxed smiles on their faces.

Chu Qingtian opened the inner door, and several people filed in.

Mu Qiu walked over and offered a big hug, "Thank you."

Chu Qingtian curled his lips and kissed the soft lips of the guide, "I didn't do anything."

Mu Qiubai gave him a glance, "Isn't it okay if nothing happened?"

As soon as the voice fell, the spacecraft suddenly vibrated, and the surrounding sea water was stirred by something, causing a huge vortex.

Chu Qingtian's expression was complete, and Limala led Mu Qiu to the console.

Clairvoyance and Shunfenger were already sitting in the driving chair, reporting the situation concisely, "A group of twelve man-eating sharks came out at three o'clock. They are advancing at a speed of 50 meters per second. They are expected to reach the spacecraft's position in one minute. .Do you want to turn on the sonar to drive away?"

"No!" Mu Qiu said first, "The mermaid's lair is not far away, so they will be the first to affect sonar."

Clairvoyant nodded, and didn't think it was wrong for Mu Qiu to speak in place of Chu Qingtian.

Shunfenger, who had been observing the situation, suddenly said: "The piranha shark has adjusted its direction, and the target seems to be the group of mermaids!" He projected the electronic screen onto the wall so that everyone could see clearly.

On the screen, the green dot represents one's own person, the blue dot represents the intelligent life of other humans or neighbors, and the red dot represents a threatening life form.

At this time, the twelve densely packed red dots were passing from the front left and approaching to the right.

"Could there be another entrance there?" Mu Qiu guessed.

Chu Qingtian nodded, "It should be like this. These cannibal sharks went straight to the target, thinking they were regular customers."

"The mermaid is beautiful, I'm afraid it will be destroyed by the group, right?" Clairvoyant couldn't help but pity Xiang Xiyu.

Shunfeng's ear knocked on his head, "Jiaodidi, you are so big! If you want to kill it, you will have to wait until now?"

Lu Xun also nodded and said, "It should be evenly matched, no one can take advantage."

Mu Qiu suddenly thought that the "evil sharks" mentioned during the quarrel between the two mermaids, could it be this group of cannibal sharks? Also, the mermaid patriarch seemed to be injured, and coupled with the nervous look of the few merfolk just now, Mu Qiu guessed that the piranha shark should be quite tricky for the mermaid.

"Should we help?" Mu Qiu looked at Chu Qingtian with some worry.

Chu Qingtian looked at his guide helplessly, "If it is on land, your man can beat ten sharks like this, but now in the water..."

Mu Qiu showed a disappointed look.

Chu Qingtian's voice changed, "You can try."

Instead, Mu Qiu shook his head, "No, no risk, there are three torpedoes in the weapon, maybe they can come in handy."

"If you don't try, you have to try." Lu Xun looked at the virtual screen with a very calm voice, "We were found."

Hearing the words, Mu Qiu looked at the screen and found that four red dots had left the team and were quickly approaching the spaceship.

"Clairvoyance, torpedo ready—" Chu Qing decisively ordered.

Clairvoyant put his hand on the console and looked for it along the row of buttons.

"Upper right in the row, the red one." Mu Qiu reminded quickly.

Clairvoyance smiled at him gratefully.

Mu Qiu smiled back.

Chu Qingtian frowned, "I haven't been familiar with the console in advance, and my vigilance is too bad. I went back and copied the instructions 50 times!"

Clairvoyance instantly grimaced, poked complainingly at the person next to him, and whispered: "You don't remind me, divide you 25 times."

Shun Feng Er glanced at him, he didn't know how he died, he deserved to be punished!

"emission!"

With a "boom", a huge vortex was set off at the bottom of the sea, and sand and rocks were splashed, and a thick blood mist filled the surroundings.

"YES!" Clairvoyance was resurrected with blood, and he gestured with excitement, "Just hit the target, all four will be destroyed."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Qiu raised **** and said nervously, "There are two more, eight sharks."

Chu Qingtian squeezed the guide's ear, and said indifferently: "It's okay, there's me."

Mu Qiu relaxed inexplicably.

The remaining eight red dots on the screen have stopped advancing and gathered in a circle somewhere, thinking that they have reached the mermaid's lair-within the circle, sixteen bright and dark blue light dots are motionless.

They seemed to have been affected by the torpedo explosion, and their neat formation suddenly became flustered.

At this moment, one of the most eye-catching blue light spots suddenly moved, rushing towards the man-eating shark at an extremely fast speed.

"Is the mermaid patriarch?" Mu Qiu asked in a low voice.

Chu Qingtian nodded, "It should be."

The other blue light spots also moved. Two besieged one, which seemed to have been planned long ago.

In the cabin, everyone unconsciously held their breath, quietly watching the self-defense counterattack in this special way.

I don't know how long it took, the four red dots dimmed and disappeared one after another, and the remaining four struggled to escape.

The blue dots did not take advantage of the victory, but gathered towards a certain point-probably the point representing the patriarch, which became dim-just now, this blue dot played against two sharks alone, leaving more chances for others to win .

It's hard to imagine what the outcome of today's war would be if it weren't for Mu Qiu who happened to be here, if they hadn't killed four man-eating sharks in advance.

"The patriarch of the mermaid seems to be injured." Lin Qing had obvious concerns on her face.

In fact, not only the mermaid patriarch, but the other blue dots are more or less dimmed, which is a sign of declining vital signs.

Mu Qiu grabbed Chu Qingtian's hand and looked at him anxiously.

Chu Qingtian had an expression of "I knew it", sighed helplessly, and ordered: "Drive the spaceship over."

No one hesitated or questioned. In fact, even if there is no request from the guide today, they will not die. Moreover, if there is no guide on the spacecraft, they are more able to let go of their hands and feet.

—

The spacecraft turned out from behind the reef and appeared brightly in front of a crowd of merfolk.

The mermaids of different colors showed a vigilant look at the same time—except for the mermaid chieftain who was covered with ice-blue blood and had fallen into a coma.

Mu Qiu took Little Gore to the sightseeing cabin, followed by a group of people.

Little Gore stretched out his tentacles as before, waving up and down, conveying Mu Qiu's words.

"You are injured. We have a doctor here-a doctor is someone who can heal the injury. Why don't you let us have a try? Maybe it can cure you."

"We are not malicious." Mu Qiu added.

The mermaids who had just experienced a fierce battle were obviously not so easily persuaded, and they did not relax their vigilance at all.

Mu Qiu sighed, "Your patriarch is seriously injured. If you drag it down, I'm afraid... it won't be good." Mu Qiu paused and chose a more euphemistic word.

Little Gore felt that the mermaids might not understand the meaning of "not so good", and directly translated into "if you drag it on, you will die."

The mermaids suddenly became angry and even stretched out their sharp nails in an attacking posture.

"Wait! Don't attack!" The green mermaid screamed. Although it is still not audible to humans, its brain was dizzy.

The mermaids looked at the green mermaid with disapproval, and even showed resentful expressions—he brought the evil sharks, and so did these strange guys!

The golden mermaid stood in front of the green mermaid and stared back viciously.

The green mermaid clutched the wound on his shoulder, and spoke out his reason at a very fast speed, "They are definitely not bad guys with their cubs! Didn't the patriarch say, "When the road is dead, there will be a son of God to save"— Isn’t it the end of the road now, isn’t someone showing up now? Why don’t we try?!"

When the mermaids heard this, they all showed shocked expressions, and then looked at Mu Qiu and the others suspiciously.

Little Gore translated the words "Bring a cub, not a bad person", and said with some embarrassment: "Brother, there is one more sentence, I don't understand."

Mu Qiu touched his head and encouraged: "It doesn't matter, Gore is already great. You tell them that I am the only one to go out and let them—"

"No!" Before Mu Qiu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Qingtian, "Gore, tell them, we only go out with two people, and we don't bring any weapons."

Little Gore didn't hesitate, and conveyed exactly what Chu Qingtian meant.

Mu Qiu gave his sentry a guilty look.

Chu Qingtian took a punitive bite on his partner's neck.

Mu Qiu gave a small "um" with a pitiful expression.

Knowing that he was pretending, Chu Qingtian still unavoidably felt distressed and kissed comfortingly.

Mu Qiu pretended to show pain on his face, and smiled secretly in his heart-his sentry would eat this set!

After intense discussions, the mermaid agreed to Mu Qiu's proposal.

The green mermaid was very happy and nodded gratefully to Mu Qiu.

Mu Qiu stretched out his mental tentacles, expressing his kindness.

The mermaid keenly felt what he meant, and then relaxed slightly.

Chu Qingtian wore a heavy diving suit, and Mu Qiu was still fighting over there—really, so heavy!

The green mermaid looked at him and laughed "hehe", and he pulled a grass from the door of the nest and threw it to Mu Qiu.

Mu Qiu didn't know why.

The green mermaid pulled another one and threw it into his mouth.

Mu Qiu picked up the grass and put it to his mouth.

The green mermaid nodded. The other mermaid looked at him, showing disapproval.

Chu Qingtian also grabbed Mu Qiu's hand and prevented him from eating.

Mu Qiu smiled, jokingly said: "It doesn't matter, I am not a hundred poisons."-Anyway, there are hundreds of antidote potions in the pumpkin.
