Quickly wear: There are always those who are not afraid of death and want to torture me

Thousands of years ago, God created the fantastic race of mermaids and gave them beautiful appearance and powerful abilities.

But at the same time, it also gave them a terrible curse--the heart of the mermaid can grant humans eternal life.

This setting made the fish once encountered crazy hunting by humans.

Fortunately, the mermaid's skin is very tough and cannot be cut by any sharp blade.Even if they are killed by other methods, humans cannot get their hearts.

Because the moment they die, their hearts will turn into a pool of blood.Only by slicing open the mermaids' chests and taking out their hearts while they are still alive can we truly obtain the elixir of immortality.

This is an almost unsolvable problem.

But God gave the mermaid a fatal weakness.

According to ancient documents on Gaia, mermaids will lower their defenses to those they recognize.At this time, their skin is no longer indestructible, but as fragile as human skin.

Thousands of years ago, many people obtained the hearts of mermaids by defrauding their trust or pretending to fall in love with them.

However, since then, mermaids have gradually disappeared from human sight.No one knows whether they were hunted to extinction or whether they spontaneously hid in the depths of the ocean.

It is a pity that although there are so many records about mermaids and mermaid hearts, no specimen of the mermaid heart has been preserved, and there is no one who has gained immortality after obtaining the mermaid heart to prove the authenticity of the legend.

Otherwise, we would see it today, wouldn't we?

However, regardless of whether the legend is true or not, people's greed for eternal life will not stop. They will only act upon the news and not let go of any possibility.

----Excerpted from a lecture given by Professor Selene, a researcher at the Imperial First Academy

On the boundless blue sea, an arc-shaped ship was sailing on the sea.The flag painted on the ship indicates that the ship belongs to the Titan Empire, and there are a few words painted next to the flag: Mu Xing.

This is a semi-submersible search ship with both military and civilian uses. On the surface, the purpose of going to sea this time is for scientific research, but in fact, it received a secret order from King Reicher V to go to sea to search for mermaids.

The Mu Xing has been circling back and forth in this sea area for more than a month. Although it has not gained anything, it does not seem to be in a hurry at all.

Most of the time I spent circling around a small island protruding out of the sea, four or five nautical miles away, slowly and leisurely as if I was out on the sea.

Since it is a semi-submersible ship, the two floors below the deck are the cabin and rest area.

The elevator door opened, and a strong man with a handsome face walked into the restaurant.

He was wearing a straight military uniform, with sword-shaped eyebrows like stars, his eyes were cold and sharp, and his actions showed the demeanor of a soldier.

The attendants standing by the door immediately saluted and said hello when they saw him: "General Harmans."

After the man nodded slightly, one of them immediately pointed him in the direction: "Professor Peel is dining in the southeast corner. He has been sitting there all afternoon."

He nodded and walked over with steady steps.

The restaurant is on the second floor below the deck, and the designer specially designed the wall to be a transparent glass.As long as you open the outer cover, you can see the scenery under the sea while sailing. It is best used to watch fish and enjoy the scenery of the seabed.

In fact, all the windows in the cabins on this floor are designed in this way, but the side in the restaurant is the largest and offers the most spectacular views.

From the row of dining tables against the glass wall, one could see a thin young man sitting quietly in the corner.

He has short, soft and smooth black hair that falls just behind his ears.Wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses on his face.The facial features are soft and beautiful, like a docile lamb.

The most beautiful thing is the pair of eyes as clear as sapphires behind the lenses, which seem to be two pieces of blue sea embedded in the pupils.

If you look at him for a moment, it will be like looking down at the ocean through the eyes of God. It is deep and vast, tiny and huge, and it is breathtakingly beautiful.

It’s no wonder that the first general of the Titan Empire, Mussel Harmans, who was always known for his calm and indifferent attitude, blurted out: “He is like an angel.”

love at first sight.

Hearing the footsteps of the visitor, Selene Pier raised her head.

He was wearing ordinary home clothes, sitting upright on a soft sofa chair, flipping through a notebook in his hand.There was also a cup of black tea and a plate of finished cakes in front of him. It must have been afternoon tea.

He glanced at the other person indifferently, and his blue eyes glanced at the stranger through the lenses, making Mussel's heart beat faster.

"Professor Peel." Seeing him, Mussel's tone involuntarily became much lighter, like a whisper between lovers.

"General Hammans, sit down." The young man gestured politely.

"Just call me Mussel." The man smiled.

After Mussel sat down opposite him, his back was still straight and he maintained a military posture.

Selene picked up the black tea and took a sip, her eyes lowered again.

For a moment, the atmosphere suddenly seemed a little cold.

Looking at the cold face that fascinated him, Mussel flinched a little. What he wanted to say came to his lips but he didn't know whether he should say it.

Selene came straight to the point: "General, if you have anything to say to me, just tell me."

Mussel secretly took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice: "Professor, we have been out at sea for more than two months, and have been swimming in the Sea of ​​Shark Tears for more than a month. Every day, there are fish in the fishing net. Shrimp, no trace of the mermaid at all.”

"And in order to cooperate with you, I followed your advice and shut down all the sonar and laser instruments on the ship, which has already affected the judgment of the direction. If this continues, not only will the mermaid be missing, but the daily life of the people on the ship will also be damaged. This can’t go on like this.”

Selene took a sip of tea lightly, her cold eyes were as lonely and calm as the sea at night, and looked at Mussel and said:

"You are the commander of this ship, but I am the project leader personally appointed by His Majesty the King. My mission is to find the mermaid. I hope you can cooperate."

Mussel frowned: "But the mermaid is just a legend. No one has ever seen it, right?"

A faint smile appeared on the young man's cold lips, which seemed to have an unfathomable meaning.

"You'll see soon enough."

Then, he closed the note in his hand, and before Mussel wanted to say anything else, he said sternly to him: "I am very sure about this action. We only need to wait for a stormy night, and the mermaid will definitely be caught in the net. Please believe me."

Seeing his sweetheart speaking to him so solemnly, Mussel could only sigh inwardly and nodded in agreement.

But he still gave a deadline: "Wait here for half a month at most, no longer. Professor."

That night, a storm hit unexpectedly.It was stormy and stormy on the sea, and the waves were turbulent.

In order to avoid the wind and waves, the Mu Xing had to dive.However, not long after it moved towards the small sandbank island, it actually caught something incredible in the fishing net.

Mussel received the report from his subordinates, hurriedly put on his coat and hurried over.

When he arrived at the lower working area and the elevator door opened, the first thing that caught his eye was an oriental face with black hair and black eyes. He was so beautiful that it seemed as if the Creator had put all the good things in him.

She has a slender and fair body, and her arms are long and strong, but on her legs, there is a huge silver fish tail.

Mermaid, a real mermaid!

Mussel was stunned on the spot.

He still couldn't accept the fact that the legend had come true.

Selene, who had already arrived from the side, stood not far from the mermaid, looking up and down at this fantastic creature with eyes as deep as the sea.

Immediately, his eyes were fixed on the mermaid's white and smooth chest, and a secret joy and madness was deeply revealed.
