I brought bad luck after awakening as a koi

The subsequent diary is full of the girl's fear of her own body changes and her mother's measures to deal with it. The unspeakable pain and fear are all recorded in it.

Kong Xiangming and the team leader were watching together, but someone called them later, so they let Shen Li watch by himself, and they dealt with the matter.

So Shen Li was the only one who recognized the immature but frightening words written by the little girl.

【My legs turned white with sticky liquid. The fish scales grew back after being pulled out. My mother no longer helped me pull it out, but let me dress tightly and told me that I must never tell others. With no one to see but Mom, I agreed and pulled on my thick pants. 】

【My eyes have changed color, with a little redness. My mother said that I can't see very clearly. If other people find out and say that my eyes are inflamed, they will believe it. 】

【...The neck is itchy, is it the gills? 】

[Dad told me about fish when he was still there, and told me that many fish and aquatic plants are in a coexistence relationship. They have always helped each other and are very good friends. Will I become a little fish that can help plants?Thinking about it this way, it seems that I am not so scared anymore, but my mother is still crying, and my mother is more scared than me. 】

[Mom quarreled with them again, because mom didn't let them eat the plants in the botanical garden, they must eat, they said they were going to starve to death, mother couldn't stop them, they could only watch them eat the plants in the botanical garden, among them Also includes flowers that Dad and I planted together. 】

[Why don't they always understand?My father and mother have kept them from eating them for their own good. My father taught me that many living creatures cannot be eaten and become extinct, because we have not found a way to cultivate them, so they can only grow in the wild. If you eat them, you will have nothing to eat. Mom is very sad, but there is nothing she can do. 】

Perhaps because of being the same major, Shen Li can easily empathize with the little girl. Plants are a large category on the planet, but if plants within a certain range are eaten up, it is difficult to reproduce them again. The seeds will never be harvested all at once. It is estimated that this is the reason why the director and his wife have not allowed the people here to be fully fed.

They will leave part of the plant waiting to grow.

It's a pity that those people didn't understand the good intentions of the director, and after the death of the director, they ate all the plants while the wife of the director couldn't stop them.

They can survive in this botanical garden until now because of the hard work of the director, and this will probably cause famine.

Sure enough, after Shen Li read two more pages, he saw the little girl's worries about eating.

[There is no food, everyone is so hungry, everyone starts to catch fish to eat, some people die after eating fish, because they don't know which fish is poisonous, and they asked their mother to come, but mother said that what they learned was plants, not fish But they didn't care about it, they just asked my mother to identify it. My mother was forced to go, and my mother was very silent after coming back. My mother told me to persevere, and someone would come to save us. 】

[This sentence was always said by my father when he was around. He said: There must be survivors outside, and those people must gather together to form a safe and full-fed place like a fairy tale. They will always have One day it will come to us and pick us up. 】

[Mom said: She bears the lives of many people, and she can hardly bear it anymore. 】

[Mom is going crazy. 】

[How can I make my mother feel better. 】

【What about mom?Dad, come back quickly, Mom, she can't cry anymore. 】

[When will the outsiders come?If people from outside come, will my mother become happier? 】

[Come on, come on. 】

【Mother! 】

[...Someone is missing, it is the neighbor's little brother, the next day, his body floated out of the pond, he was drowned, those people wanted to fill the pond, but mother didn't allow it, because it was The only source of drinking water for everyone, there is no water to drink after filling it up. She stubbornly stood in front of the pool, and those people finally gave up. 】

【Dad said before that this pond is the center of the botanical garden, the symbol of the botanical garden, and the source of life here. It must not dry up. 】

"Hello, Shen Li."

Shen Li was stunned for a moment, he raised his head, and the next moment he saw Kong Xiangming with his hands on his shoulders, "Seeing that you are so fascinated by it, is it written about what happened here?"

"It's not here yet." Shen Li closed the notebook, "What about you? What needs the two of you to deal with?"

"Someone is missing." Kong Xiangming sat next to Shen Li, "He said it was because he drank too much hot water in the cold, and felt so suffocated that he went to find a place to go to the bathroom, but he didn't come back for half an hour. They didn't find it together. When we found it, we told the team leader and me, and the two of us walked along the trail, and we didn’t see anyone when we got to the edge.”

"How do you think people can disappear for no reason?"

Shen Li blinked, "Missing? No trace?"

"I can only see a little water damage, no one can find it. The team leader is still leading people to search. He is so nervous now that he is afraid that some beast is hiding in this botanical garden, but according to my observation, there are no large-scale biological activities here. If there were any traces, wouldn’t there be such neat dust.”

"Did you tell anyone else?"

"I said, let them go to the toilet together, don't be alone." Kong Xiangming sighed, "Where can he go with such a big man? The heavy rain outside has not stopped, even if he is eaten by something, there should be blood. How did it just disappear?"

Shen Li looked at him, and after a while he stood up and walked out, Kong Xiangming was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted and followed Shen Li, only to see Shen Li walking towards the place where they came at first, and then stopped in front of the pool, he carefully Looking inside, one or two small fish are still swimming.

Just under the little fish and the lotus leaf, a pale face is vaguely visible in the water.

Kong Xiangming almost yelled, he hurried to call the team leader, the team leader ran over with people, they gathered in the pool and looked at the people in the pool, all of them had bad faces.

"How did he get in?" asked the leader, "What kind of plant did he get in?"

"If he was dragged in, he would have struggled and yelled, but we didn't hear any sound."

"Don't talk about it, let's get the person out first."

As a technician, Shen Li was sent to the back. Several men from the Special Bureau present tried to fish out the corpses from the pool bit by bit. The water in the pool was as clean as ever. It was turbid, and the corpse hadn't been soaked for a long time. Apart from being wet, it only looked like it was frozen and ferocious when it was suffocated to death.

The doctor checked some basic characteristics, "Death by suffocation, but whether it was strangled or drowned requires an autopsy to determine."

There were strangle marks on his body, on his neck and limbs, and his mouth was slightly open, indicating that he once wanted to call for help, but unfortunately he was stopped. He was dragged into the water and drowned without making a sound at all, or He was strangled before being dragged into the water and then thrown into the pool.

But no matter which one it is, it means that someone was killed under their noses, and they don't know what it is yet.

This fear of the unknown is very scary.

In the end, they decided to take the corpse back first, and not come over to the pool for the time being. On the way back, Kong Xiangming asked Shen Li, "How do you know he will be in the pool?"

"Just now I saw in the diary that they were missing a person, and finally found it in the pool, and you said that there were no traces around, as long as he didn't go out, the only place where people could hide was the pool, so I went to have a look, I didn't expect it to be inside."

Kong Xiangming frowned and clicked his tongue, "What do you think this is?"

"Murderer?"

"of course."

"I don't know. Both plants and animals are possible. Octopuses like to stay in dark places, and you said that the pool is connected to the outside and is running water." Shen Li said: "Now I can only think that the creature will not be stronger than the pool. big."

Kong Xiangming thought about the size of the pool, and then cursed in a low voice, "That pool is not small, it can hold ten you and me."

Back at the gathering place, the surrounding atmosphere became even more oppressive. Someone’s inexplicable death made it difficult for them to speak. The torrential rain outside continued, and it was even getting bigger and bigger. No one spoke, and everyone surrounded the little girl. It seems that only this small stove can give them a sense of security.

Shen Li had nothing to do, so he continued to read the diary.

[The fish in the pool will be eaten up, everyone has nothing to eat, and my mother is forced to come out again, let my mother find something to eat, otherwise they will fill up the pool, everyone will die together, and they will grab me hard Hand, said to throw me into the water. 】

【My mother hugged me and agreed. She started to go out early and return late, and finally found new plants. She said that those things can be eaten, but they must be eaten all at once, because those things are attractive and will attract other creatures to them. Pollination and seed reproduction, but those people didn't listen. They were afraid that they would never eat again, so they picked a lot, and if they couldn't finish it, they piled it up to eat next time. 】

【Mom said that this would lead to disaster, but no one listened. 】

[... There are animals coming. 】

[Several people were killed. 】

"It turns out that this is the first skeleton we found." Shen Li pointed to the words to show Kong Xiangming, "The garden director's wife found an edible plant, but the plant emits a scent that attracts other creatures in order to reproduce. , This smell attracted wild beasts, and the sudden attack of wild beasts led to the death of a group of people."

"Don't you deserve it?" Kong Xiangming looked at the text, "I said no, no, no, why do I still do it? What's wrong with this group of people?"

The team leader heard what they said, and he spoke after a while, "This area was in the suburbs ten years ago. The location of the botanical garden here can only show that there are rich species here, and it has nothing to do with the crowd. It is not completely nonsense that troublemakers come out of poor mountains and rivers. No way, in some places, it is because the cultural level is inferior to the character, and it is normal to cause this kind of result.”

"There was also a cannibalism incident in the early days of the fog. Yes, it was because they didn't know what to eat. The person said very calmly that the food that was eaten has mutated into an animal, and the animal can be eaten."

"This is too uncomfortable. The director who suppressed these people is dead, and the director's wife can't control them at all with a girl." Kong Xiangming frowned, "If I were here at that time, I would definitely beat them up and let them Be honest and obedient."

"You can't handle it. After all, those people don't know anything. They just gather together and become accomplices." The team leader obviously knows better than him, "I've seen this kind of people before, only they have more people than them, and their weapons are stronger than them. It is possible to change.”

Kong Xiangming shrugged, "That's the reason for the first time, what about the next one?"

So Shen Li continued to look down.

[My leg hurts so much that I always wanted to find my mother, but my mother was not there, and she didn’t know where she went. It was because of the mother's fault, those people died because of the mother. 】

【No, those people died because they didn't listen to my mother. I refuted it, but they said I didn't understand anything, but my mother didn't do anything wrong. 】

【Where is mom?I can't find my mother. 】

[They cursed their mother to die, saying that their mother was a scourge, no, no!Where the hell are you mom? 】

【My mother disappeared, but they were not in a hurry at all. They said that my mother was a scourge, and that I was also a scourge. 】

[So this scourge jumped into the pool and paid for those people's lives. 】

[...I see, my mother went into the water, and she turned into a small fish, guarding the pool as before. This is the place where my father and mother worked hard to build, and my father said: Plants and small fish It's a symbiotic relationship, they can always be together. 】

[I also want to be with my mother all the time. 】

……

[I seem to have become a small fish. A small fish can protect my parents and this beautiful botanical garden. I still remember how beautiful it was when I was a child. Suddenly, those strangers came one day, and then I can never find it again. I am the last little fish, I want to protect this place. 】

【I have to be their reliance. 】

【Mom won't cry anymore, because I already know how to make my mother happy. 】

rely on?

Shen Li was stunned, he looked towards the pool, the next moment a person's screams sounded, everyone was startled, only to see a long vine holding a person, and the people present quickly stopped him He was pulled away, but the next moment more vines struck.

There were spikes on the vines, and the people present quickly let go, so the powerless people screamed and were caught by the pool.

The man was holding on to the edge of the pool, and the team leader hurriedly continued to pull the man, the vines strangled the man's neck fiercely. At this moment, the team leader opened his eyes wide, and even Kong Xiangming was quite frightened. In front of him, a woman's head slowly emerged from the pool.

She has red pupils, ears that look like fish fins, and long black hair wetly draped over her shoulders. The girl stretched out her arms to firmly control the neck of the person in front of her, only to hear a click, and the person Her neck was twisted instantly, and she opened her mouth, revealing her sharp teeth.

"Damn!" The team leader swears, "What is this?!"

He subconsciously let go, and the body was dragged into the pool in an instant, and the woman fell down along with it. A huge fish tail emerged from the water. It was a red fish tail, very beautiful and terrifying.

"Mermaid?!"

"It's a murloc." Shen Li retorted, "Although she has some human characteristics, like the worm mother, she has no human consciousness and is just a fish."

Kong Xiangming whispered, "Is this the beast that attacked the people here for the first time?"

"It should be the second attack." Shen Li said: "Do you still remember? In the diary, the little girl suffered from a genetic disease. She swallowed a fish alive, and then fish scales appeared on her body, and there were many fish mutations." characteristics, so this should be the person who attacked here after the little girl mutated."

"The first time was a beast attack. They thought it was the problem of the director's wife. The strong sense of guilt and collapse led to the death of the director's wife. The girl was left unattended and her genetic disease aggravated, causing her to mutate into a beast and kill her. Everyone here wants to protect the plants here, and secondly thinks that her mother will not be sad anymore."

"As long as there is no one else, her mother will always be happy."

"Okay, I see." Kong Xiang yelled, "What should we do now?!"

The pool was silent for a few seconds, and then the water in it surged, and countless vines stretched out again. The mermaid leaped out of the water, flicked its tail along the vines, its sharp teeth could bite a piece of wood, and the people present reacted quickly Immediately started running, Shen Li was also dragged by Kong Xiangming's wrist to run back.

Shen Li panted while running, "She may be the same kind of koi as me, although she is red and I am blue... If it is not a genetic disease, she is the orthodox koi you will worship."

"Damn it, you're still wondering if it's an orthodox koi?" Kong Xiangming convinced him, "Since it's a koi, is there a cure?"

"Fish need water, but now she is a murloc with human characteristics, so she can leave the water for a while, and the time will not be too long. If she persists, she must return to the water to replenish water."

"Before then, are we really not going to be gutted by her? Her claws look so sharp."

"I can only hide."

Because there was only one murloc, they spread out, and one could escape. Shen Li and Kong Xiangming hid behind the wall. Behind them was a pile of bones. The two of them tried to calm their breathing. Now they can only procrastinate. , and wait for the murlocs to go back to replenish water.

They heard the sound of something rubbing against the ground, and a strange bird-like sound. Kong Xiangming immediately covered Shen Li's mouth to keep him from making too much noise.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and just when it was about to approach them, there was a scream not far away, the crawling thing was attracted, and turned to the other side in an instant, Kong Xiangming heaved a sigh of relief, he Put down the hand covering Shen Li's mouth, close your eyes and lean against the wall.

No one is not afraid of death, even if they have made all the preparations, even if they should be afraid, they will still be afraid.

"Fish and plants are in a symbiotic relationship, so she will protect the plants here, that is, help the plants hunt for food. We should be treated as movable feed." Shen Lineng immediately opened his mouth to express his conclusion after speaking.

Kong Xiangming laughed, "Well, I knew it wouldn't go so smoothly."

"It's still raining heavily outside, we can't leave here for the time being, we will die outside." Shen Li said: "We can only tug of war with the murlocs."

"It's really unlucky." Kong Xiangming whispered, "Shen Li, do you know why I brought something with a pungent smell?"

Shen Li looked at him suspiciously. Kong Xiangming explained this problem at the time, because his dead former partner told him that some pungent smells are the nemesis of other creatures. Accident.

Thinking of this, Shen Li also answered in the same way.

"Actually, that's not the case. It just sounds good, so I just said it." Kong Xiangming murmured, "Actually, I couldn't accept it when my partner died. At that time, we had no choice but to watch him shut up. Eyes, I was trying my best to figure it out, he said he needed a pungent smell, but we didn't have any."

"He just disappeared, stopped breathing in my arms."

"Since then, I have never been able to feel at ease. I must bring this kind of thing with me every time I go out. I am afraid that this kind of thing will happen again." Kong Xiangming laughed, just as if he was crying, "It sounds like It's a bit of a shame, but I really don't want another person to die from it."

He said: "Shen Li, you must live well."

He said: Shen Li, you must not die in front of me.
