"puff!"

The sea water instantly flooded the whole body.

Shari subconsciously held her breath, but soon realized that the action was completely redundant.

She stretched her legs and feet freely, opened her eyes, and slightly curled the skin on the sides of her cheeks.

The sea water enters from the mouth and is quickly discharged from the side. The "side gills" allow her to breathe freely in the sea water. When the sea water passes, oxygen enters the body through the capillaries, and then takes away carbon dioxide.

Her body swam flexibly in the sea, swaying left and right, as if she was more flexible than a dolphin.

Following the man in front of her, she continued to move downstream.

There was a dark blue sea water in front of me. The lower the light became, the dimmer. There were no fish around me. Most of the sea fish were alarmed by the storm above their heads and swam into the deep sea.

She could see the snow-white fine sand at the bottom of the shallow sea, as well as the green reefs, and the chaotic dark green seaweed.

“The smell of the seabed is a bit strange today.”

The man turned his head and looked around, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

"What's strange?" Shari was stunned.

"Nothing, maybe it's my illusion." The man shook his head, "Let's go to the tunnel under the rocks."

"good."

She nodded, gently stimulating her throat, and emitted a sound wave.

This is a unique way of communication between them, using special sound waves to transmit information, just like dolphins.

The so-called reef tunnel is a narrow black passage located at the bottom of the reef community in the offshore area. Walking this passage allows them to go home faster.

For Shari, this passage is like a highway for humans on land.

Soon, two flexible figures passed through the gap between the reefs, and gently walked around the sharp reef tips and entered a deep and dark tunnel.

Two pairs of dark green eyes soon lit up in the darkness.

This is also one of Shari's abilities. Undersea activities often require passing through some dark reef communities. In order to avoid injury and reduce risks, detection methods are necessary and her natural ability.

In the darkness, the man's voice sounded:

“What did you learn in school today?”

"Those classes in normal times." Shali suddenly felt a little disappointed. He was still the same. He couldn't ask anything except such questions. What did he learn? He had been asking this since elementary school. Now that he is about to graduate from high school, he still only asks such questions.

She is a girl!

"Oh." The man seemed to have no idea what to say, but just looked silently at the passage ahead.

After a few minutes, he turned his head again:

"Is there any difficulty in life? Are you going to...the college entrance examination?"

"Um."

Shari responded in a low voice.

She suddenly thought of the face of the boy in the school, and then the teacher mentioned in the morning that he chose the target university and filled out his application... At this moment, there was dark sea water on all sides, and there was no light at the bottom of the sea close to 100 meters. The sea water still had a faint fresh smell, but it seemed that there was a faint smell of human domestic garbage, which made her feel uncomfortable all over.

College entrance examination, classmates, love, sunshine, friends... and college.

These are like blurred phantoms, dissolved in the sea water beside you.

"I don't want to go to college anymore," she said suddenly.

"What?"

The man's reaction was even more violent than she thought. He stopped immediately. She slammed into his back, and his forehead hurt slightly, and he couldn't help but shout, "What are you doing?"

"Why don't you go to school?"

The man's eyes were full of surprise, "This is... your mother's wish..."

Hearing these two words, Shari's heart suddenly hurts, and her blood rushes to her head like a roll of rolls. Her face suddenly turns red, and her skin all over her body is slightly red.

"Do you still remember your mom?" she asked ruthlessly.

"I……"

The man looked at her red eyes and suddenly fell silent.

"You killed her, you told me in person." Shari said word by word.

The man was silent for about ten seconds before he raised his head:

"Since then, you have never called me dad."

"Why don't you tell me the truth!"

Shari's face turned red, and her dark green eyes stared at the tall man in front of her. He floated quietly in the sea water, with his face lateral, and his deep and crystal pupils as deep as emeralds avoided her gaze.

"I……"

"It's been ten years, it's been a full ten years."

Shali yelled: "I ask you every year, but you never tell me. Why did you suddenly leave your hometown and suddenly take me to the land, and you only dare to set off a storm on the sea? What are you afraid of?! Why did you abandon your mother back then! Abandon our home!"

"I didn't abandon her."

The man suddenly turned his face and a complicated look appeared in his pupils.

"Then please tell me what happened ten years ago?" Shari stared into his eyes.

"Ten years ago..."

The man was silent for a few seconds and suddenly shook his head, "One day, I will tell you everything, but not now." His expression was firm and he looked obsessed with annoying and persistent expression.

Two tears slipped into Shari's eyes.

Tears melted into the sea and disappeared quickly.

Sometimes, she would hate herself for having such a father, but she had to admit that she was so similar to her father, with dark green pupils and a persistent personality that could not die in the Yellow River.

She hates herself, just like the man in front of her.

She didn't believe that her father was the kind of person who would leave her mother behind. In her memory, their relationship was always good, and they had never even had a fight.

But ten years ago, he suddenly took his young self with a panic and fled from his original home.

She tried desperately to ask about her mother's whereabouts, but he kept silent, saying that she had encountered an accident and that he killed her...Shari could not accept such reasons and his strange behavior of strongly preventing her from going into the sea.

But for ten years, every time I ask, I get escaping.

Only escape.

Ten minutes later, a little light finally appeared at the entrance of the tunnel.

This means they are about to leave the tunnel.

The man suddenly slowed down and slowly stopped at the entrance of the tunnel.

He turned his head, his eyes flashed with complex emotions, and looked at Shari:

"Today is your birthday, I..."

"Do you remember?" Shari asked.

"certainly."

The man smiled calmly, "I have never forgotten it."

He hesitated for a moment and took out a black notebook from his arms. Although it looked ordinary, Sari had seen his father use it in the deep sea many times, which means that its pages were made of special waterproof materials.

He seemed to attach great importance to this notebook and never let himself touch it.

"You..." she said in a daze.

"Give it to you." The man smiled reluctantly.

"Happy birthday."

"I don't want it."

Shari threw the notes back coldly.

The man caught it with disappointment: "Don't you like it?"

"No."

"There are clues related to your mother's death." The man said.

"What?"

Shari shook all over and immediately grabbed the notebook and pinched it in her hand.

She pinched the notebook tightly and was about to open it, but looked up at the man and hesitated again. She asked in a low voice: "Why did you suddenly want to tell me?"

"because……"

The man was about to speak, but suddenly his expression changed.

His pupils contracted, and a trace of incredibility flashed in his eyes.
