Let the system try to save the world

The Polar Oceanarium's whale-like design has been transformed into a man-made landscape that soars into the sky.

"Hey, look what that is." The urban white-collar worker who was walking hurriedly on the road nudged his companion with his elbow in astonishment.

"Stop getting so excited." His companion looked at his phone impatiently. He was reading forms and documents quickly, but out of the corner of his eye he couldn't help but catch a glimpse of the tall water column shining silver in the sun.

The phone fell to the ground with a bang, and a crack appeared on the screen.

Similar incidents were happening all over Ningcheng. People were eagerly questioning every official account, wanting an explanation, but the authorities remained silent, only warning citizens not to get close.

Big Vs and so-called experts swarmed in like sharks smelling blood, fabricating eye-catching articles and short videos on the Internet.

The media and reporters heard the news and drove thousands of miles to Ningcheng Oceanarium just to get first-hand information.

After confirming the stability of the barrier, the Psychic Power Bureau left half of its personnel and ordinary troops in the aquarium, forming a human Great Wall equipped with live ammunition.

An order was given from above that before the emergency meeting came to a conclusion, any unknown person who tried to explore secrets could be shot to death.

"Are we going to do nothing?" Han Yu asked Xitong worriedly.

"Yeah." Xitong had a towel on his head. He was very careful this time. Apart from some scratches on the skin, he did not suffer any serious injuries. However, he did not know what was contained in the surging tide. He felt it was not hygienic, so he took three thorough baths.

"What does the headquarters mean?" Han Yu did not get Xitong's explanation. He turned to look at Mu Yiyu who was listening to the meeting remotely.

Mu Yiyu stared at the noisy meeting interface and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Lu means..."

"Publicly." Xitong said, "If I were him, I would take this opportunity to make it public."

"The power of a person has its limits." Xitong looked at the tall water column that could be seen from afar by the Psychic Bureau in the museum's toilet. "The Dragon Country is vast and rich in resources, and there are countless talented people. It would be truly foolish to waste the wisdom of the people."

"We are unable to protect the people." Mu Yiyu tapped the laptop keyboard hard.

"Protect? Why should we protect the people?" Xitong said, "Dragon Country is ours and theirs, Blue Star is ours and theirs."

"In order to protect their own homes, there is no difference between civilians and soldiers."

"Huh, it's going to be a tough battle." Han Yu scratched his hair, "I have to go ask Lao Li for a cigarette, no, a pack."

Lou Shen and the merman reunited after a long separation. After receiving the news from Xitong, Lou Shen crawled to the door of the morgue of the Psychic Bureau. The old monster, who had lived for who knows how many years, couldn't help but cried like a baby while hugging his childhood sweetheart whom he had lost and found again.

After a brief moment of being touched and missing Lou Shen, the mermaid became annoyed by his crying and started swinging her tail, occasionally slapping him in the face with her tail.

After confirming that the two sides were no longer hostile, Xiao Huang began to circle around the mermaid's tail, as if he smelled something he liked.

The mermaid doesn't hold a grudge and pokes it with the tip of her tail from time to time.

"Ah?" The mermaid used his tail to wriggle closer to Xitong. He used his tail to prop up his upper body and looked at the two bodies lying in the morgue through a narrow layer of glass.

The forensic doctors are determining the time of death of the body. They hold the scalpel and carefully separate the fat and organs.

“Are they hungry too?” the mermaid asked.

"Humans generally don't eat their own kind." Xitong shook his head.

"Humans are so cruel that they kill them even though they don't want to eat them." The mermaid put her face close to the glass window. "Actually, I can share some with them."

The autopsy results came out, and just as Xitong guessed, Jing Danhua had died of extreme panic before the mermaid ate his body.

"It's just too hungry." Xitong said, "Just like a hungry child who smells the cake in the refrigerator, so he runs over and eats it secretly when no one notices."

"This cake is really..." He Shuang held his forehead helplessly, "Then what should we do?"

"According to the rules of the Psychic Bureau, it needs to be monitored by us for a while." Han Yu held the Corgi in his arms and stroked the little yellow dog's fur. "After learning basic human social habits and passing the exam, it can choose to return to its original place or stay in the Psychic Bureau."

"Do you think it can pass the test?" Xitong pointed at the mermaid and asked, "It can't even speak human language."

"Well, you can teach it." Han Yu waved his hand and gently patted the Corgi's fat butt. "——You traitor, what are you sniffing? Didn't you eat enough?"

"Maybe..." Xitong picked up the mermaid's tail and brought it close to Xiao Huang's nose. The puppy's wet nose twitched a few times, and suddenly began to lick it excitedly.

"Oh my god, don't eat fish scales." Han Yu quickly pulled the dog away. "If you eat something bad, the boss will eat me."

"What's here?" Xitong asked, letting go of the fish tail.

"Ahh." The mermaid screamed twice, and turned a row of scales inside out in a peculiar way, and a bunch of small things fell out from inside.

There were screws that came from nowhere, shiny buttons, and strangely shaped small stones. Xitong also saw a diamond ring in it.

"You said... Xiao Huang likes to eat candy, right?" Xitong bent down and picked up a candy wrapped in glass candy paper.

Xitong speculated that because of the shiny candy wrapper, the mermaid also treated it as a small stone and collected it.

"Where did you get it?" The sugar had been soaked in water and its color was no longer as crystal clear. The mermaid came over and poked it twice with her fingertips, then shook off the sticky syrup in disgust.

It put all the small things except the candy back under its scales. The mermaid waved her fist, indicating that she gave the candy to Xitong.

"I understand." Xitong said.

"What do you understand? What does it say?" Han Yu, who was outside the atmosphere, asked in confusion.

"This candy was in Jing Danhua's hand before." Xitong raised his fist, peeled off the candy wrapper and sniffed it, it was a lemon candy.

Plum candy, lemon candy.

Did Gu Yugui eat the plum candy I gave him? Xitong pondered. The candy wrapper was gone, so he could only guess whether he ate it or not.

Mu Yiyu seemed to have thought of something. He took out a box of chocolates from his arms and handed it to Xitong. "Here, Master, this is what Master Jingming brought you."

"You've been staying at the Psychic Bureau recently, and he asked me to send it to you."

Xitong took the box of chocolates. It was beautifully packaged with a cartoon three-headed bird painted on the box.

"Chicken Chocolate"

He turned the box over and saw a poem written on it with a brush.

"The low blossoming trees reflect the small makeup building, and spring enters the two dots of sorrow between the eyebrows."
