Chapter 25 That Thing
Outside the window, it was already dark and the colder was getting deeper. But the room was warm and comfortable, and the sweet smell of milk tea permeated every part of the room. This was a single dormitory for teachers and staff, two bedrooms, clean and tidy. In the living room, two people were curled up on the sofa in front of the fireplace, squinting their eyes lazily, chatting together.
The fireplace is an imported product and does not exist in the customs and traditions of the empire. However, the owner of the house is An Ruosu. According to her, when she was studying abroad, there was a fireplace in the house she rented. It was born in winter and watching the fire leaping in front of her eyes. She felt the real warmth and felt extremely close to nature - it was like guarding a bonfire at night, which was reassuring.
So after moving here, she asked someone to renovate her room and make it look like she is now.
Kesong had no special impression of this thing before, but after getting along for a long time, he unknowingly fell in love with the feeling of sitting next to the fire.
The two of them spoke in each holding a cup of milk tea. The warm warmth rushed towards them like a tide, almost falling asleep.
But the vibration of the phone woke her up. She took out the phone from her pocket and answered it, and it was Li Zhen's voice.
"I... am walking towards the base in Director Dai's car. I may not be able to talk to you today."
"Ah... it doesn't matter. Then let's talk about it tomorrow!" Ke Song blushed slightly. He was "reporting the situation" to him next to Director Dai? He didn't care about this day, right? This would be laughed at...
However, there was a little sweetness in my heart.
An Ruosu looked at her like a cat, with a smile on her face: "Look at your young age, you are really good at controlling..."
Kesong put down the phone and blushed: "No, he wants to call me every day."
"Oh, that's what you're well-dressed."
Kesong put the teacup in his hand on the stool and used his toes to squeak her. An Ruosu quickly stopped and screamed while running under the sofa. However, as soon as one foot landed, he really "Ouch".
Kesong stopped making trouble and quickly sat up: "What's wrong? He twisted again?"
An Ruosu gently rubbed his ribs with his hands: "Well. The bruise has not healed yet. I shouldn't have sat next to the instrument at that time... The plane swayed and the whole thing was pressing against me."
Kesong frowned: "You should go and check again. It's been three days since the bruises have not yet disappeared."
"How can I have time..." An Ruosu sat back on the sofa, but was still careful to prevent Kesong from attacking. "I have been busy during the day and have to go to the laboratory at night. I will only be more idle today."
However, when talking about this, Kesong's eyes lit up: "By the way, Sister Ruosu, you told me yesterday that the thing will be identified today - what exactly is it?"
An Ruosu gently rubbed his ribs and slowly stretched out his legs. Seeing that Kesong had no intention of making trouble again, he relaxed himself on the sofa: "That... we haven't figured it out now. But it should be a new species."
Kesong bit his lip and thought for a long time before he asked carefully: "Will it be..."
But An Ruosu did not smile as she expected, but shook her head a little confused: "I don't know. Actually, I thought so when I first saw it. But that's still difficult for someone to take it seriously. It's a symbol after all."
What the two of them are talking about is what people find on the beach in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
That weird "sea snake".
Time has to go back more than ten days ago.
It should be a beach near Wulintou, Kaohsiung City, one evening in January.
Unlike the cold in the north, the temperature in Taiwan is still relatively high in winter. Kaohsiung is located in southern Taiwan, and the temperature in the evening reached twelve degrees.
On such an evening, fisherman Wang Yequan came to the beach. He originally planned to take a walk after dinner, but he thought about his thoughts while walking, and walked to this beach without realizing it. There was no port nearby, nor any beautiful scenery, but it was sparsely populated - except for people like him who live nearby, there were almost no one who would set foot here for several consecutive days on weekdays.
Bypassing the two coconut trees, the eyes suddenly became clear. The sun had already set, and the sky was covered with a light blue-gray color. The moon showed its face from the east, and a few stars the size of millet were faintly visible on the sky. The sea breeze was filled with fishy smell and moisture, blowing through his thin clothes, causing him to get goosebumps.
He was a little tired when he walked here, so he planned to have a breath of wind, so he turned around and walked home.
There were a few mosquitoes flying around beside the coconut tree. Feeling Wang Yequan's breath, he buzzed and rushed towards him. He stared at a ball of black things on the beach from afar, but couldn't tell what it was. So he just thought it was some garbage in the sea - perhaps the parts of the wrecked ship, and was washed by waves.
At this time, a stinging pain on his forearm, and he slapped without hesitation—
Bang.
There is something in my palm.
But Wang Yequan was stunned because of that snap.
The slap on his arm was not like this. The sound was louder and farther away, just like a big fish jumping from the water and then falling back to the water surface. So he looked in the sound and found that the pool of black things he had previously regarded as parts of the ship was moving.
The thing he originally attached to the beach that he thought was a wooden board was raised again when he looked at it, falling heavily—
Bang!
Just as a wave rushed to the beach, splashing water.
Wang Yequan was shocked. It was clearly a tail, which was as long as one person! That guy was a big fish?
He hurriedly took out the flashlight from his pocket - this was originally what he planned to take a walk too late, but when he got home, it was dark and it was used to shine on the road. But when he was anxious, the flashlight fell to the ground. He hurriedly squatted down and groped for a while, fearing that the thing would go back to the sea along the tide.
Judging from this body shape, it may be a young whale. If you can find the way to get it, the things you worry about will no longer be a problem!
The sky became darker and darker, and he fumbled for a while before picking up the flashlight.
Then quickly illuminate it, and do two steps in three steps, while running forward, shining the light in your hand—
Then he suddenly stopped and stood there on the spot.
At this moment, he even suspected that he had read it wrong, or that someone was joking with him. He subconsciously rubbed his eyes hard and looked over again, only then he was sure that both himself and that thing were real.
He felt dry mouth and dizzy, his head was dizzy, and the muscles on his legs almost lost their strength. He seemed to weaken his knees and he fell to the ground in the next moment.
All this is just because of the inexplicable sense of awe in my heart.
Just as the flashlight was shining, a huge head was staring at him.
The skin of the head was slightly green, with long kisses bulging, and there were two nostrils the size of tennis balls at the top. The shiny fangs stood up beneath the nostrils, each of which was half a meter long. Just looking at this part, you might think that this was a huge canine beast, but when you look back, there were two huge orange-yellow eyes, like copper bells. The eyes went back again... The thick yellow-brown mane, like a lion, was pressed against the head, and water was still flowing down.
However, the reason why I don’t think this head is ridiculous because just above its head, two giant blue horns more than one meter long rise up obliquely, piercing the sky!
Behind this head is a thick snake-shaped body, which is plated into a ball. Scale shining with faint blue light is one after another, and the strong muscles bulge out one after another.
This is clearly...
dragon!
There is an extremely proud nation in this world, who call themselves the descendants of the dragon.
The story of the dragon has been passed down for thousands of years. With the word of mouth passed down from generation to generation, it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of every descendant of Yan and Huang.
So at this moment, the sense of identity and awe from the depths of the bloodline pulsed violently with the heart, and the blood flowed rapidly throughout Wang Ye's body.
He even wanted to kneel down and worship him!
However, at this moment, the "dragon"'s tail was raised again, slapped the beach, and finally stopped moving.
The pair of orange-yellow, copper-bell-like eyes also turned and quickly dimmed. The translucent eyelids slowly closed along the surface of the huge eyeball... This huge creature seemed to have exhausted its last trace of strength, and was still in the sea breeze like a statue.
Wang Yequan was stunned for a few seconds. Then he ran towards it as if he was crazy, and he stopped until the sea water lost his feet, scooped the water with both hands, and poured it hand by hand. But the power of human beings seemed to be a drop in the bucket for this giant. The "dragon" was on the beach and still motionless.
Wang Yequan grabbed its tail again and tried to drag it into the sea water. But there was a smooth mucus on its surface. He grabbed it several times and took off his hand. So he ran to the "Dragon" and put his shoulders on its coiled torso, trying to push it into the sea water.
But this big guy seemed to be made of fine iron, and no matter how hard he tried, it would be futile.
After falling down a few times on the sand, Wang Yequan took out his cell phone from his top pocket and dialed the number at home. A sudden deep sadness in his heart occupied his mind, as if the "dragon" emotion had entangled him in place, and there was only one thought in his mind - save it!
However, he was powerless after all, and he felt as if he had become the luckiest and most unfortunate person in the world.
