After becoming a mermaid, I'm a salty fish

Gu Yu took many photos in the corridor.When he first watched it, all his attention was put on Xiao Linzhou with a pair of cat ears. After watching it many times, he only looked at the people next to him.

Many teenagers of the same age as Lin Zhou have half-beast-like youthful looks, and some photos also show instructors in the mirror.

Wearing a black training suit, he stood at the front of the team, with serious eyes, and swept them like a knife.All students stand up straight.

Very typical, awesome instructor, very deterrent.The newly awakened ones are afraid of being caught in the wrong place, so they are extremely serious.

When Gu Yu saw this instructor, he thought of his military training, and felt that his skin was so tanned that his hands and feet didn't seem to be his own.Not only are they standing in a military posture, they also have to simulate the battlefield, how to sneak attack, cross-country climbing, and rescue the wounded when the gunpowder is rolling down.

He feels very tired from the military training once a year.The training of the Awakened is definitely more difficult.

When he saw the instructor, he must have turned his head and wanted to hide, afraid of being reprimanded, but when he heard Teng Tingchun talk about it before, he missed the instructor very much, and he had a long relationship with the teacher, and he admired him from the bottom of his heart.

Five years ago, the instructor in the photo was promoted to general.

Now, the venerable general appeared in front of him, not the thin person in the photo.

Gu Yu was shocked when the voice was similar, the crowd in front gave way, and he also took advantage of the opportunity to stand aside, and saw an old man with gray hair, his face was vicissitudes, and his eyes were full of marks left by years of cutting, sitting in a wheelchair , with a blanket covering her legs, and the bottom is empty.

Gu Yu was taken aback.

It is only 12 years since the time shown in the photo. How could the instructor, who looked like he was only in his 30s, seem to be over sixty years old?

While Gu Yu was staring blankly, he inadvertently met the other party's eyes. Admiral Gu smiled at him, the lines around his eyes piled up, and his expression was kind.

Only then did Gu Yu come to his senses, quickly restrained his emotions, and responded with a smile.

There were quite a few people in the base who had been his former students, and they were vying to come forward to accompany them, but the admiral forbade them and asked them to busy themselves with their own affairs, leaving only one receptionist.

Behind the admiral was a young woman, his daughter, who sent him here specially, she was worried and stayed behind.

Seeing that everyone dispersed one after another, Gu Yu also took a look at the wheelchair going away, and then went to the training room to practice by himself.I didn't plan to do this at first, but when I saw Admiral Gu, I felt as if I was being watched by the class teacher for some reason, and I felt guilty and dared not go.

Gu Yu couldn't help but asked the smart butler, "Why does someone have a voice so similar to yours?"

The housekeeper replied: "My voice is collected by real people and then synthesized."

"So, Admiral Gu's voice is one of your production sound sources?"

Butler: "Yes."

Gu Yu couldn't help feeling that the world is so small, what a coincidence.At the same time, I thought, who is so powerful, who can collect the sound source from the general, and dare to use it.

He checked and found that one of his smart housekeeper designers was named Gu, who was the general's younger brother.That's understandable.

Gu Yu did not expect that after coming out of the training room, he would accidentally run into General Gu.

He froze for a moment, then nodded respectfully, "Hello, General."

Admiral Gu nodded, but did not leave immediately, but said kindly, "You are the awakened one taught by Lin Zhou, Gu Yu?"

Gu Yu nodded, "Yes."

"It can be seen that Lin Zhou taught you very well." Admiral Gu glanced over, and there was some approval in his words, "Can I call you Xiao Gu?"

Gu Yu: "Of course."

Admiral Gu coughed, unlike a general with strong deterrence, more like an ordinary old man, he said: "I am recuperating in an alien planet, and I haven't seen Lin Zhou for a long time. When I came here this time, I happened to meet him on a mission. , would you mind talking to me about him?"

Naturally, Gu Yu would not refuse, and accompanied him to sit down in the reception room.

Gu Yu and Lin Zhou get along a lot, but they can't talk about everything, especially the respected elder in front of him.He could only pick up some things about training, and subconsciously choose his words to avoid offending.

Admiral Gu smiled gently and comforted him, "You don't have to be so reserved, I'm just like you, I'm just an ordinary person, I'm not your instructor, I don't know how to train you."

There was a little sarcasm in the words to make him relax.Gu Yu wanted to say no, but it was true that her back was tense, not as relaxed as a salted fish, but rather straight.

"Do you think the training is hard and tiring?" Admiral Gu asked.

Although Gu Yu didn't say that, the admiral has lived for so many years, and it's easy to find out from the details.

Gu Yu said dryly: "Actually, it's okay... I'm lazy."

Admiral Gu didn't talk about him, but smiled and said: "I listen, but I don't think so. You are very smart, lazy and do nothing, but you can do what you should do, and at the same time make your life easier , what is there to criticize? It is very rare for someone to see as clearly as you."

Gu Yu was dumbfounded by the praise, he was just lying flat like a salted fish.

Seeing him like this, General Gu laughed and coughed, his hands on the armrests were clenched into fists, trembling uncontrollably.His daughter quickly stepped forward to carry it for him.

Gu Yu was a little at a loss, stood up hurriedly, but didn't know what to do, so she could only hand over the water glass.

After a while, Admiral Gu waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, took a sip of water, and continued, "If you are really lazy, Lin Zhou can't let you go. , he never releases water, and beats his opponent to the ground every time. Later, other awakened people were afraid of him, and they detoured when they saw him from a distance. However, this is also related to his awakened body habits, and he likes to be alone In the past, the sense of territory was very strong, and no infringement was tolerated.”

Gu Yu was very curious when he heard about Lin Zhou's past.

The ancient general saw that he wanted to hear, and he also wanted to talk. When he talked about the past, his face showed deep nostalgia.At that time, he was strong and healthy, guiding a group of newborn awakened.As far as the line of sight is concerned, there is life.

In the middle of talking, the general's daughter handed him a water glass and told him to talk less so as not to make his throat feel uncomfortable.

The ancient general didn't listen, and said: "If you want to say something, you can say more, if you have to hold back, it's so boring."

Gu Yu swallowed the words of persuasion when he reached his lips.

Just at this time, the light brain flickered, and the butler's voice came out, "Little master, there is a message from Lieutenant General Lin."

Lin Zhou was doing missions outside and could not be contacted at any time, so Gu Yu set him as special concern so as not to miss him.But I didn't expect it to sound at this time.

Gu Yu's heart tightened, sure enough, Admiral Gu and his daughter looked over in surprise.

Admiral's daughter: "Why is this voice..."

Gu Yu quickly explained: "This is my smart housekeeper. I bought it 20 years ago, and I only found out today..."

Admiral Gu was just surprised for a moment, and didn't think there was any similarity between the voice of the smart housekeeper and his own. Instead, he said: "I remember, I used to collect voices, but the synthesized ones have changed. It is rare to be able to be so similar. Fate."

Gu Yu relaxed, "It's fine if you don't mind."

Admiral Gu didn't take it seriously, "What's the matter, I agreed to collect it, it sounds quite interesting."

They continued to chat, and talked about a lot of things about Lin Zhou, some were powerful, some were funny, and all kinds of fragmented pictures were slowly put together in their minds, making Lin Zhou's image more full.Gu Yu has a new understanding of him.

Admiral Gu’s voice is too similar to the butler’s. Gu Yu sounds too familiar. Sometimes, if he is not careful, he will have an illusion that the person in front of him is the butler who has been with him for 20 years. He relaxes unconsciously, more like a close friend junior.

Admiral Gu had a great time chatting, but later he was tired and lacked energy, so his voice dropped down.

His daughter forcefully asked him to rest, and General Gu couldn't even think about it.

Gu Yu also persuaded, "I'm idle anyway, if the general wants to chat, I'll be with you at any time."

Admiral Gu smiled, "Okay, I'll continue chatting with you tomorrow, and bring you the tea leaves I have treasured."

Because it was getting late and the admiral had a special status, everyone in the base advised him to stay here, so as not to have to go back and forth.The admiral refused at first, but then he did not know what his daughter said, but he agreed again.

Gu Yu waved goodbye to him for a while, watching the wheelchair and people walking away slowly, the admiral's daughter bent down and said something to him, which could only be heard vaguely, it's rare, junior, don't be in a hurry.

It's amazing, Gu Yu seems to have an extra year-end friend, with such a big age difference, but it seems that there is no barrier, and the time passes by without knowing it.

Gu Yu also told Lin Zhou about Gushang coming to the base.

Lin Zhou was obviously also happy, but it was not convenient for video calls, so he could only chat a few words through text, and soon went back to work.He said that if all goes well, he will be back in two days, and he must get together with the general.

Admiral Gu's face became a little more serious, "Let him be more cautious, complete the task well, and not take it lightly."

Gu Yu replied as he said.

Lin Zhou immediately said - yes, general.

Gu Yu imagined the expression on his side, the way his elders taught him to bow his head and obey, and he wanted to laugh a little.

That night, Gu Yu had a sore throat due to talking a lot, so he drank some medicine and practiced singing for a while.

The housekeeper asked: "Does the young master want to sing for the general?"

Gu Yu nodded, "Although I still can't completely control the transformation of the awakened body and human form, I have mastered a little trick. Before he leaves, I want to sing two songs. The general has been on the battlefield for so many years, and he must have been injured in the spiritual field. I thought it would be good to help ease it."

If you go out of tune, you will die, but if you sing to the leader and then run away, it will be even more embarrassing.

Gu Yu thought about hugging Buddha's feet to practice, and it would be a little bit less to run.

When he was in human form, the songs he sang did not have a powerful healing effect like the mermaid's singing, so he would not be speechless after singing a few songs.Later, when it was late, the housekeeper reminded him that it was time to rest, so he went to wash and sleep.

In the middle of the night, Gu Yu faintly heard a faint voice coming from outside the door, but because he was too sleepy and his consciousness was blurred, the voice disappeared quickly, and he fell asleep again.

Gu Yu didn't know what happened last night until she woke up the next day.

Wen Zhizhi said worriedly: "General Gu's illness suddenly broke out, but fortunately he was rescued in time, so he recovered."

Gu Yu frowned and asked, "Admiral's illness?"

"It's still the same disease. On the battlefield, excessive consumption of mental power is unavoidable. The alienation value is too high and can't be lowered." Wen Zhizhi was speechless, and Kong Fengyu answered for her.

Gu Yu was startled, "...how much?"

"9.97."

As soon as the number came out, they were all silent.

This is even more serious than Lin Zhou's at the beginning, and it is extremely rare for the general to remain sane.

Kong Fengyu said in a low voice, have you seen the metal ring on the general's hand?It is used to suppress the mental power, in order to prevent the spiritual realm from collapsing and getting out of control and hurting others.

Gu Yu has heard that this kind of bracelet is useful, but at the same time it is very harmful to the body. The bones seem to be unable to support people, even worse than ordinary people.Therefore, Admiral Gu sat in a wheelchair and had no prosthetic legs.

This bracelet is actually more like a shackle.It was worn by awakened people who were on the verge of collapse for the safety of others.

Gu Yu didn't ask why he wasn't arranged for treatment.

Because he knew very well that with such a high alienation value, he had already stepped on the edge of a cliff and was about to fall, and no one could hold him back.

Everyone thought that Admiral Gu would be bedridden to recuperate from illness today, but unexpectedly, he got up, sat in a wheelchair, was full of energy, his face was flushed, his fatigue from yesterday was swept away, and he didn't even look like he was sick.

But the crowd didn't breathe a sigh of relief when they saw it, instead they thought of something and were startled.

Admiral Gu was very interested, and wanted to see the entire base, nostalgic for the past, and wanted to know how much it has changed now.

When he saw Gu Yu, he was still very happy, as he said yesterday, he invited him to drink tea.

Every time the ancient general passed by, he could think of many things, and he talked eloquently, more talkative than ever.Obviously, he didn't seem like a talkative person in the first place.

In the past 12 years, the base has changed with each passing day, and naturally there have been major changes in many places.

General Gu saw that the old buildings were gone, overturned and built better ones, and more high-tech equipment was added in the laboratory. He was a little disappointed, but he was more happy. ..."

Sitting in a wheelchair, he walked almost all over the base. Through the window, he watched the newly awakened people working hard in the base. His eyes were calm and gentle, and this scene was reflected in his mind.

Until the afternoon, Admiral Gu turned his head, smiled kindly at Gu Yu and said, "Thank you for accompanying me today, old man, is it annoying to talk so much?"

Gu Yu shook her head seriously, "No, I like to hear it. You are not old, my father is about the same age as you."

Moreover, when he listened to what the general said, he subconsciously sketched out a picture of the past in his mind, as if traveling through time and space and being there.

"That's good." Admiral Gu sighed, his straight back leaned back lightly, as if he was a little sleepy and wanted to rest.

Just as Gu Yu was about to say something, Admiral Gu asked gently: "I heard that the mermaid's singing has a calming effect, can you please sing me one?"

Gu Yu froze, nodded, "Of course."

He immediately turned around to get ready, and ran in a hurry, almost hitting the wall when he turned the corner.

Gu Yu got a little knack, how to change the shape, but he was not proficient.At this time, he anxiously wanted to become a mermaid, but failed.

Twenty or ten minutes later, his forehead was sweating in anxiety, and scales finally appeared around his ears. His short jet black hair turned into light golden curly hair, his skin was porcelain white, and the redness around his eyes became more obvious.

He looked in the mirror, and waited until his face returned to normal before he floated in the eggshell car and went back under control.

When the ancient general saw it, he was a little surprised, "It turns out that the mermaid is like this, and it is very similar to the records in the ancient books."

He glanced at Gu Yu's means of transportation again, and said strangely: "There are also eggshell-shaped ones. Now I have everything. It's pretty good-looking. Young people have vision. My nephew has also awakened into a sea creature. Maybe it would be a good idea to buy this as a gift."

Gu Yu said: "It's not me, it was chosen by Lieutenant General Lin."

Admiral Gu was very surprised, "That guy would choose? I thought he would definitely choose the most square and simple one, that's how it should be, young man, it's better to be fresh and bright."

After chatting for a few words, they entered the singing room.

The admiral's daughter settled him down, but she was reluctant to walk away. It was not until her father patted the back of her hand that she had no choice but to turn around and go outside the door to wait.

When the singing of the mermaid is directed at only one person, the healing effect of calming the nerves is the best.

The melody is melodious and melodious, like the bright and clear moonlight pouring down, falling on the calm lake, with fine sparkling waves, flowing gently, stroking away all the pain.

During the interlude, General Gu, who was listening with his eyes closed, said in a low voice, "Xiao Gu, I'm a little sleepy. Go get busy after you finish singing. I'll sleep here for a while...don't mind."

"Tell that boy Linzhou for me, he is the most proud student I have ever taught."

As he spoke, his voice became lower and lower, almost disappearing.

Gu Yu understood what he meant, and when she sang again, her voice trembled uncontrollably, and after a few breaths, she barely stabilized.

A song ends.

This time, Gu Yu sang very well, without any out of tune.But he didn't feel any joy.

Although he didn't go closer, with the sensitivity of an awakened person, he clearly knew that the person in the wheelchair who seemed to be sleeping was silent.

Gu Yu took a deep look, then controlled the eggshell car to the door, and looked at the general's daughter.

She didn't say a word, but she understood it instantly, or she had expected it long ago.With red eyes, he rushed in.

Gu Yu moved forward slowly along the corridor, and finally stopped, with her head against the wall.

Not far behind him, there was an unclosed door, suppressed sobs and vague words came, and then because he couldn't get a response anymore, he cried heart-rendingly and was heartbroken.

The sound, which was almost howling and moaning, was very uncomfortable to hear.

Gu Yu suddenly felt a sense of emptiness, her body felt cold, as if she was standing in a snow-capped mountain, the biting cold wind was blowing, and the surrounding was icy white, and she couldn't see any other colors when she looked around.

He leaned against the wall blankly, not knowing what to do.

"little Master."

A voice suddenly appeared, which made him tremble, and he woke up suddenly, with cold sweat breaking out on his back.

The butler's voice was softer than ever, as if he was afraid of scaring him, he said slowly: "The general left with a smile, without any pain, please don't be too sad."

Gu Yu nodded, her voice was dry, "...I know, but..."

He paused for a long time, and the butler quietly waited for him to calm down.

Gu Yu's mind was in a mess, he didn't know what he was thinking, what to say, "The general is so good, why, it shouldn't be like this...you are so similar, I feel...you are gone too."

The housekeeper said gently: "I am an artificial intelligence, I will not leave. As long as the data is not lost, I will always be with the little master until you are old."

Gu Yu pursed her lips, lowered her eyelashes, and it took a long time to respond.

"……Ah That's good."

The housekeeper asked again: "Can I do anything for you? Do you want to contact Mr. and Mrs.?"

Just as Gu Yu was about to answer, footsteps suddenly came from behind him.

He looked back and found that it was the general's daughter.

Her eyes were red and swollen, and grief enveloped her tightly.

"Although my father didn't say it, he actually had a premonition. He liked you very much. After listening to your song, he walked away very peacefully. He must hope that this is a happy funeral. I shouldn't cry... Thank you so much You, thank you."

Her voice was hoarse, but she tried her best to finish what she wanted to say calmly.Obviously his emotions have not calmed down, but he was still worried that the person who made his father walk quietly for the last time would be uncomfortable, so he came to comfort Gu Yu.

The admiral's daughter was as gentle as he was.

Gu Yu shook her head and said no thanks, she should do it.

The general's daughter bowed to him before turning around to deal with her father's affairs.

Gu Yu returned to his room.

The housekeeper wanted to help him contact his parents. It would be better to talk to his relatives at this time.

But Gu Yu shook his head and refused. He himself thought about it, but he remembered that the company's project had a problem, and his parents were dealing with it urgently, negotiating with the local government, and he couldn't carry an optical brain with him for the time being.

When I contacted him the day before yesterday, my parents told me about this, so don't worry if he can't get in touch, if there is something wrong, you can ask your uncle for help.

Gu Yu thought, in fact, it's nothing, it's over after a nap.

He went to take a bath, sat in the bathtub, and turned back into a human form. His wet hair hung down and blocked his eyes. The water droplets from the end of his hair rolled down his cheeks, like tears, dripping into the water. Disappear.

After soaking in a hot bath for a long time, he didn't come out until the housekeeper reminded him.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, brushing hair.

"I want to contact Lin Zhou."

The steward responded immediately and followed suit.

However, Lin Zhou is on a mission and communication is inconvenient.

As expected, there was no response.

Gu Yu fell silent. The butler wanted to show him a funny variety show, but he didn't watch it.

The housekeeper didn't know what to do to make the little master happier.

Just as Gu Yu lay down and was about to go to bed early, the housekeeper suddenly said, "Little master, General Lin is looking for you."

And it's not a message, it's a voice call.

A familiar voice reached the ears.

"Gu Yu."

Obviously just heard his own name, but Gu Yu suddenly had a sore nose.

For a while, Lin Zhou didn't hear the voice, his tone changed, and he was a little anxious, "What's wrong?"

Gu Yu swallowed for a moment before replying, but Lin Zhou still heard an unusual hoarseness.

"What happened? Someone bullied you?" Lin Zhou asked in a deep voice.

Gu Yu originally wanted to say something, but thought that he was on a mission and couldn't disturb his mind, so he shook his head.

Then, remembering that he couldn't see it, he denied it again.

"……No."

Lin Zhou was silent for a while, and did not continue to ask, but said: "I should be able to end the day after tomorrow. When I come back, tell me, okay?"

Gu Yu didn't answer.Lin Zhou waited quietly.

Finally, he heard Gu Yu sniff his nose, and agreed in a low voice.

"……it is good."
