[Interstellar] Reborn Mermaid Beast Tamer

"Hui, you have been to the mermaid land with your master, did he enter the mermaid temple from here?"

"Yes, the master enters the mermaid temple from here every time."

"But there's nothing here."

"I don't know, I can't answer you. The master has never brought me into the Mermaid Temple, I can only watch him from under the steps."

"Since the owner of the stupid cat entered the Mermaid Temple from here, it means that there must be an entrance leading to the Mermaid Temple here. Wait for me to help you find it."

The revived Phoenix has always wanted to find a chance to become a real entity and come out, but because he was afraid that Shen Ling would not be able to bear it, he did not make a request. Now it is most suitable for him to find an exit above the clouds, and he certainly does not want to let it go this opportunity.

"No need." The ridiculous deception was in front of him, but Shen Ling felt as if he suddenly understood something.

He looked down from the steps, his eyes darting back and forth across the calm mermaid sea in the darkness.

Countless pictures flashed in his mind, all of which were pictures of him swimming under the ocean.

The scene where Hui took him into the mermaid sea for the first time on Planet Aquamarine; the scene where he and Ludwig embraced under the small lake on planet D11; he was dragged under the sea by the octopus a few hours ago The faint blue lighthouse light...

Maybe he already knew where the real entrance of the mermaid temple was. Since it was a mermaid, why did he build the temple in the sky.Isn't this a joke?

Mermaids are born to belong to the sea.

……

Cong Yi personally drove a fighter plane to check this interlayer cloud, and it turned out that it was just an ordinary cloud layer.

After a lot of hard work, but with such an ending, even the singing of the mermaid, which has always been an obstacle, did not appear, which undoubtedly disappointed these people, especially Cong Yi.

Cong Yi has always believed that the mermaid land is in a hidden world in the sky, and he always thought that he could see his teacher here.Unexpectedly, Mermaid Xing made such a big joke on him.

Decades of surveillance instantly became meaningless.

The winding steps that were still shining with faint silver light seemed to be mocking all his hard work over the years.

"Could it be that the mermaid temple has been transferred?" Sitting on the pilot's seat of the fighter plane, Xia carefully expressed his opinion, "Principal, as you said, this planet is disappearing."

Cong Yi's lips were stretched into a straight line of despair, and his hands were shaking all the time.

After the inspection, the eight people returned to the open space on the ground.

Ludwig took out another spaceship from his space storage device and parked it in the open space, as if it were a small camp.

"Rest first, we'll talk about it tomorrow." He was speaking to the other three people in his team, the people on Cong Yi's side, he had no right to order.

Su and Neil boarded the spaceship. To them, this was just a specially invited mission. Success would be the best, but the current situation is not bad.

Shen Ling stood outside the spaceship and looked at Cong Yi silently. Cong Yi looked up at the starless night sky in the middle of the open space.That action, like a sad and helpless lost lamb, is praying for a miracle.

For a moment, Shen Ling impulsively wanted to tell Cong Yi everything he thought of.

Ludwig took his hand.

It was a big rough hand, warm and powerful, which gave Shen Ling strength and strengthened his determination at the same time.

"Go in," Ludwig said.

Shen Ling nodded, looked away from Cong Yi, and followed Ludwig onto the spaceship.

He couldn't tell Cong Yi that Cong Yi should not go to that place, nor should anyone else go there.That was his mission, that place, only he could enter.

Hearing the breathing of the people around him calm down, Shen Ling carefully removed Ludwig's hand on his waist.

He got off the bed, barefooted, carefully opened the hatch of the spaceship, and walked out.

From the porthole of the spaceship, Shen Ling saw that Cong Yi was still standing in the middle of the open space, looking at the night sky sadly.

He transformed into a mermaid and then lost his form.

A strong arm rested on his neck from behind, and his back was attached to a silk pajamas. The silky texture made him guess who was trapping him from behind.

This pajamas was chosen by him for him.

"Where do you want to go?" Ludwig asked with a suppressed voice. Although he tried his best to control and tense, his slightly trembling hoarse voice still betrayed him.

He was afraid, a fear that might drive him mad.

This kind of fear trapped him ten years ago in the form of despair. At that time, he was afraid of the sun, the air, and the darkness... All the natural forces in this world would make him afraid.

The pain of being tortured by the enemy, the helplessness of being locked in a claustrophobic space, the sadness and cry of seeing a loved one die with his own eyes, and hearing the terrible news that his most beloved grandpa died for himself...

All these combined to completely knock him down at that time.

He thought of countless ways to end his life, but was finally stopped by his relatives.The best psychiatrists in the empire took turns to give him psychological guidance, but each doctor shook his head after the treatment, and added, "I can't do anything."

At that time, he lived every day like the end.

It wasn't until the second grandfather brought him into the army and gave him the belief in revenge that he got the chance to be reborn.

He would never allow himself to lose Shen Ling again. These days after Shen Ling appeared, he locked Shen Ling firmly in his sight every day.Even when he was sleeping, his sleep was very shallow. He hugged Shen Ling just to make sure that he was still by his side.

So the moment Shen Ling moved his hand away, he felt that he was leaving.

He quietly followed behind Shen Ling, and when Shen Ling disappeared, he knew he had to stop him.

Ludwig's arm on his neck was strong and strong, making Shen Ling a little out of breath.

"Let go of me first." Shen Ling said panting.

Ludwig let go of Shen Ling's neck and grabbed his arm at the same time, making sure that he would not slip away from his control.

"I have my own mission to complete." Shen Ling said calmly facing Ludwig.

"I will go with you."

"But only I can enter that place." Shen Ling didn't want to drag Ludwig into the Mermaid Temple. He knew from the words of his nominal master that it was a dangerous place. If he could, he wanted to be alone To face it, because that is his job.

What's more, the current location of the entrance of that place is indeed the only one that can enter.

"Do you want to leave me again?" Ludwig grabbed Shen Ling's shoulders with both hands, making him look directly into his eyes.

In the dark night of the mermaid sea, there is only a little faint light that is so faint that it can be ignored, but Shen Ling in the mermaid form only needs this little light to see Ludwig who is standing in front of him clearly. .

There was a terrible red mist over the green eyes that had once fascinated him, a harbinger of madness.

"Do you know how I survived the ten years you left?" Ludwig's hands tightened, and the red mist in his eyes became even worse. "I dream every day that my grandpa was attacked by countless warplanes and spaceships and died on an uninhabited planet. I dreamed that the spaceship you were on exploded, and dreamed that you and your child were crying in the explosion... I, every day, Life is better than death."

"Why are you so cruel, why do you let me go alone, let me see the sight of your death in another place? Do you know how painful this is for me?"

Ludwig's words were like countless poisonous daggers, piercing his soft heart one after another.

"I'm sorry..." Shen Ling didn't know what he should say at this time, any kind of apology was powerless at this time.

He should obviously know that in that situation, the dead person is happy, and the living person is the most painful.

But he still chose to let Ludwig live, because he had no choice.

The red mole he left on Ludwig's neck represents all the choices he will make. He is loyal to his partner and will always guard him.

The two hugged each other silently.

Ludwig forcefully pressed Shen Ling into his arms, as if he wanted to crush Shen Ling into his body.

There were tears dripping on Shen Ling's neck, and he knew that Ludwig was crying silently.These are tears that he would have shed ten years ago, but he has kept them till today.

"Take him with you." Hui persuaded, "On D14 planet, Cong Yi reminded me of a saying, 'The mermaid and the dragon will give birth to the son of God'. The mermaid tribe does have this legend, this is probably the mermaid One of the reasons why the family is constantly looking for another partner of their own is the dragon, since the mermaid family has always chosen the dragon, then the dragon absolutely has the right to enter the mermaid temple."

"Stupid cat is right, not to mention Ludwig's current mental state, he can't bear to be separated from you."

"Let's go together." Shen Ling whispered in Ludwig's ear. "I need you."

……

Shen Ling and Ludwig bypassed Cong Yi and went to the beach.

Standing on the beach, feeling the coolness of the sea breeze, Shen Ling remembered the scene when he and Celia came to play together at the beach a long time ago, and also remembered the beach where he was abandoned by Celia on Seablue Star.

He felt so painful just being abandoned, but because of his choice, Ludwig was forced to accept the fact that his lover died.

Shen Ling shook her head to drive away the messy thoughts in her mind, and said to Ludwig, "Let's go down."

Ludwig changed into a frogman suit and diving glasses in front of Shen Ling.

This is the diving equipment that he specially asked someone to tailor for him before this departure. He thought that he would not need it, but now it seems that this decision is very wise.

He took out an underwater pistol and handed it to Shen Ling, but Shen Ling didn't want it.

"Let Phoenix open the way, as long as he is around, those octopus monsters will not approach us."

There is no other better way right now, Ludwig can only reluctantly agree.

The actions of the phoenix underwater would be hindered, and they couldn't take them to the depths of the sea in a physical form. They could only release their own coercion in Shen Ling's body, which would bring the least burden to Shen Ling.

Shen Ling and Ludwig in the mermaid form entered the mermaid sea. He led Ludwig to the bottom of the sea. The monsters on the bottom of the sea surrounded them curiously, but they didn't dare to approach them because of the coercion of the phoenix.

Soon Shen Ling saw that flashing faint blue light spot, like a lighthouse on the bottom of the sea, guiding the direction.

Shen Ling didn't know what was shining under the seabed, but he was sure that it must be the signpost leading to the mermaid land.

Shen Ling led Ludwig to swim firmly to the spot of the blue light. When he got closer, he could see clearly that it was a stone pillar the size of two three people hugging each other. Image, above the two stone pillars, there is a circular stone ring with a diameter of about ten meters, and the blue light is emitted from the stone ring.

Shen Ling was dumbfounded looking at the stone pillars and stone rings. Did the blue light lure him here just to let him see this strange building?

No, this doesn't look like a building, but... it looks like some kind of weird religious object.

"What is this?" Shen Ling asked Hui and Fenghuang.

His question also stumped the two spirit beasts. Phoenix always claimed to be well-informed, but at this time he couldn't explain the origin of this thing in front of him at all.

"Look closer." Ash suggested.

Shen Ling swam to the stone pillar and covered it with his hand.The stone pillars are warm, and it feels particularly obvious when touching something warm in the sea water.

"It's soul power." Phoenix said, "This strange stone pillar and stone ring are filled with soul power. The stone pillar is the carrier, and the stone ring is the release body. What is the effect of setting such a thing?"

Hui suddenly said sharply, "Shen Ling, stand under the stone ring."

Shen Ling froze for a moment, then followed Hui's instructions and swam under the stone ring.

Ludwig saw Shen Ling's attempt and caught Shen Ling in time.He shook his head silently in the sea water.He couldn't speak, so he could only communicate with Shen Ling in this way.

Shen Ling smiled at him, and told him with his lips that it was all right.

After repeated assurances, Ludwig was willing to let Shen Ling go.When Shen Ling swam under the stone ring, he felt a warm force surrounding him.

The next thing happened in an instant, and the blue mist burst out from the middle of the stone ring in a cylindrical shape, wrapping Shen Ling in it.

Shen Ling felt that his body was seized by a strange force, he looked at Ludwig in horror, and stretched out a hand to him, but in the next second, he disappeared from under the stone ring up.
