At the beginning, we saw nothing but the light spots reflected on the wall. Then Dr. Lin moved the flashlight down a few centimeters before we could tell a strange figure.

Because he didn't come over standing, we overestimated his size.

This human-shaped thing crawled over!

His hair was dragging long to the ground, and the slight metal collision sounds I heard in my ears came from the metal jewelry he wore on his neck and wrists. His upper body was covered with a rag-like dress similar to a rag, and his skeleton was very large. It was obvious that he was actually a man.

The light of the flashlight was reflected by the scales behind him, and I just realized that this was a mermaid who had left the water, but he seemed a little tired and crawled into us for a while. After ensuring that he had escaped from the smile, he sat down against the wall.

Damn, I've "sitted"? Does he have the "butt" part?

In an instant, countless pictures flashed through my mind. I finally understood why we can find the tail and legs of the whale shark at the same time, because in addition to humans and mermaids, there is also a species between the two, which is the case where the brain maniac said that it needs help from his help!

"Mr. Zuoqiu?"

As soon as I opened my mouth, the weird guys and the others were shocked, and the strange thing sitting on the ground was stunned for a moment and nodded at me.

I don’t know him, but my intuition tells me that this person is the person referred to in the sentence in Adjutant Li’s notes [I met a failed Mr. Zuo Qiu]!

I racked my brains to imagine many possibilities, why do I add the word "failure" to the other person's name? It was not until now that I saw this person with my own eyes that I suddenly realized that the so-called "failure" refers to the failure situation when a person evolved into a mermaid!

Mr. Zuoqiu is now sitting on the ground, resting on one wall. He is very inconvenient to move because from his lower abdomen, he did not directly connect half of the body of the Henggong fish like Chen Zichuan, but instead exposed his butt and about eight centimeters of thighs. Then he was covered with fish scales, combining the human legs together, and growing a streamlined and beautiful fish tail.

Such a body is extremely inconsistent. Whether on the ocean or on the shore, it is a very failed body. When swimming, it requires double the strength to walk, and when walking, it can only stagger and crawl with the tail of a fish. What's wrong with Mr. Zuoqiu?

"Who blew the fish whistle?"

All of us were trembling all over. Mr. Zuoqiu... could actually speak?!

All the mermaids we know can only make a shout-like song, "Hey, hey," and a talking creature with fish tail. This is the first time we have met. Is this because he is a [failed] product?

"It's me... can you hear that sound?" The brain-taking maniac raised his hand and took out the white tube whistle that was taken out of his treasure box from his arms.

"Take it to me."

The brain-taking maniac didn't dare to move, so he turned around and stuffed the whistle into my hand: "Do you know him? Go and give it to him."

"I'll give it?" I stared at him innocently, thought for a while, but took it and took a few steps forward. Dr. Lin chased me and grabbed my other hand tightly and stopped me from moving. But I felt a little sure. I spread his fingers and walked forward and said, "Adminton Li and the others are on the other side of the sea wall, they haven't come yet!"

"I don't care."

I saw that he was not very interested in Adjutant Li's life and death, so I closed my mouth and walked over, squatted in front of the failed body and handed the white-guard whistle over--

I noticed that the jewelry he was wearing seemed to be all gilded and gem-inlaid, which was very similar to the treasure box in the belly of the whale shark. When I saw the complex look he stared at the white-tube whistle, I could guess that his gold and silver jewelry also came from the wreck of the Southern Song Dynasty, so he recognized the sound of the whistle, as well as the treasure box, copper coins, and bottles of rouge and water powder!

Mr. Zuoqiu stared at the whistle and didn't say anything anymore. I didn't know how to talk from his mouth, so I had to keep quiet thinking about his appearance. After a while, the uneasy monster followed and squatted beside him. It seemed casual, but his hand was always placed next to the dagger at his waist. He was always ready to end this failed life once Zuoqiu attacked me.

There is also a transitional skin the size of a palm at the connection between Zuoqiu's thigh and scales. This piece looks very uncomfortable. It is wrinkled as if a pile of dried meat is squeezed out of its folds. If you look boldly and carefully, I feel like I see an eyeball!

Is this the kind of round fresh fish, but the dry eyeballs on the stalls where salted fish are dried in the vegetable market, which are weathered so much that they seem to fall off at the touch! How can Zuoqiu still have such things on his body?!

"What are you looking at? Have you seen enough? It's not polite at all!"

Zuo Qiu had a very big temper. He held the white tube whistle in his hand and gave me a angrily glance.

"You are...you are?"

"I want to ask what I am? I am a monster who can't survive or die!"

"Have your legs... also been swallowed by the male fish?"

The brain-taking maniac came to me with the courage to come to me and asked carefully.

Mr. Zuoqiu ignored him. It could be seen that he had really spent a lot of effort to get to us from the depths of the cave. At this moment, he was reluctant to be surrounded by us, but he couldn't get excited to return. It seemed that the air cave here was indeed as guessed by the brain-seeking demon, equivalent to the caves in huge mountains, and some could be connected to each other and lead to other places!

I thought about the words of the brain-taking maniac, and I believed even more in my eyes that the connection between the fish tail and the human body was not a transitional skin, but a fish head that was shrinking to almost impossible to see clearly!

I have already experimented with Xiaogangya, but the male fish "sting but not dead" as the legend says. Using sharp weapons like blades cannot harm their bodies. So if you want to split the fish body from the middle and divide it into the fish head and the tail needed for mermaids is a very difficult thing for humans to do, so the brain-taking maniac would say the word "swallow"!

It turns out that the half-piece of the fish we see is not just half-piece. At the beginning, the horizontal male fish will open its mouth and swallow human legs into its stomach!

After the legs were eaten, the Henggong Fish no longer left the human body. It became an attachment that could not be removed. Then the head gradually shrank and deteriorated, and the lower body was closely integrated with the human flesh and blood. Over time, it would grow into the South China Sea mermaid with the upper body and the fish tail we saw!

The brain-taking maniac said that he and Bai Shuyang cut off the corpse's legs to "help them with help". Is it because of this that the process of fusion between the Henggong fish's body and the human body may be greatly simplified and shortened?

The fish tail and human foot bones appeared in the whale shark's belly. I think the situation of the dead person should be similar to that of this failed Mr. Zuoqiu. The Hengmao swallowed his legs, but it had not had time to fully merge, so his foot bones would remain in the Hengmao's abdominal cavity, and then appeared in the whale shark's abdominal cavity!

Why do those dead dead have to go through a long period of time until their daughters get married and have a grandchild, and have a long time to get a new body of a mermaid and be resurrected from the dead?

I think this period is the process of the Henggong fish swallowing human legs, and the flesh and blood of humans gradually sticking to the fish's flesh and blood, and combining them into one! The Henggong fish will not be harmed by the outside world, and will fall into humans in the water during the day and turn into humans at night. If it is just a dead body, it will be soaked in the sea for a few days and rot into dry bones under the coveting of the sea snake vine.

Only this explanation can complete the many mysteries left to us by the South China Sea mermaids!

Mr. Zuoqiu put away the white tube whistle, looked at the messy shore that was being flipped by us and sighed, and supported the ground with both hands and turned over. He turned his head and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute...wait a minute!"

I knew this person would become the only hope for several of us in the dilemma of the South China Sea, so I hurriedly stopped him: "Look, look at me!"

Mr. Zuoqiu turned his head, and I immediately stretched out the index finger of my right hand, held it on my lips for a second, then gritted my teeth and grabbed Zuoqiu's hand, spread his palm and drew a circle inside.

"Jinye's people? Another group?"

When I saw Zuo Qiu's expression changed, I nodded in a hurry: "Well, we and Li Baishan did not come here in the same batch! That, we are..."

I was about to say Master Dong's name, but I was stunned when I said something.

It’s not because I was worried that he didn’t know Dong Huang at all, but because I remembered that in the notes of Adjutant Li, in the line of Mr. Zuoqiu’s records I saw, did I also say something that I care a lot later?

[A failed Mr. Zuoqiu appeared, and Meiling Grain and Oil Store could bring Jinye people.]

The boss's wife said that the address of Meiling Grain and Oil Store cannot be heard by outsiders. Among the people of Shark, only Li Baishan belongs to Jinye. However, the establishment and development of Meiling Grain and Oil Store only happened after he entered Penglai Fairy Island. Now Su Liyao's letter with the scales of a male fish was sent directly to Meiling Grain and Oil Store, which shows that another Jinye's senior is also dormant in the South China Sea.

Now it seems that this person is obviously the failed Mr. Zuoqiu!
