MTL - Mermaid Effect-Chapter 2
The light from the phone was fixed in that place, and half a minute passed, and the light like the bio-perforated reflection remained motionless.
Rand couldn't help but get closer.
He saw a fish.
"call……"
He breathed a sigh of relief.
It was indeed a fish - about ten centimeters long, that was difficult to stay in the groove of a reef in a semi-dry.
Rand has not seen such a fish. Its body is slender and has a faint gray color. The skull is pointed and has round eyes. Behind the eyes is a circular fluorescent pattern of the same size. Just now, Rand The reflection that I saw was exactly from this pattern.
It looks like just a normal fish.
It is about what fish brought by the sea when the tide is high, and it is trapped there when the tide is low.
"Poor little things."
Rand pulled out the pen and tried to get the fish out of the groove and throw it back into the sea. The fish struggled weakly, and Rand saw the scar on the other side of the body.
Like the bite of something, the blue blood rushes out of the bright red. Well, Rand must admit that this ordinary fish seems to be less common. After all, he has never seen a fish with red muscle tissue like humans and blood with fluorescent blue.
But there is no denying that things in the deep sea are always strange. After the beginning of the strange, Rand did not care about the singularity of blood and flesh. He just hesitated whether he should return the fish to the sea. Obviously, it was seriously injured, and even if it returned to the sea, it was very likely to be killed by predators. And stay here? After the high tide, it will still be submerged by the sea.
It is like being occupied by some strange thoughts.
His inexplicable decision to bring the fish back until the fish's wound healed and then put it back into the sea.
After the initial hesitation, Rand sacrificed his own sports bottle and barely put the fish in.
Of course, the process is not going well. The pen is not a good tool for dealing with fish. After observing the difficulty in the fish mouth, Rand had to grab the fish by hand - and it is uncomfortable that the fish After touching Rand's hand, something inside the lips popped up like a sucker, attached to the wound on Rand's palm. Even more frightening is that Rand almost did not notice this thing, until he was ready to put the fish in the bottle and found that the fish can not get rid of the hand, he found the **** sucker.
After leaving the suction cup, there was only a dim white line on the wound in the palm of the hand, and all the blood was gone.
Rand felt a little disgusting, but the darkness of the sky and the shackles of the waves on the reef made him innocent.
Reluctantly to throw the fish back to the sea*, Rand eventually returned to the land with the strange fish.
While the dazzling red sports car started driving to the city, let us turn the camera back to the reef where Rand had been.
Below the reef, the high tides of the sea rushing through the reefs caused intense water.
A rock in the depths of the water is loose, and things like black algae slowly fall off.
A pale body swayed under the impact of the current, its shape was extremely strong and handsome, but from the abdomen, there was no connection between the human legs... there was only one thick fish tail.
"哔-"
Inside the carriage, Rand drove the car and heard the sound of the phone.
He glanced at the caller ID and Vinson's name was beating.
A faint shadow floated on Rand's cheek, but after a moment of pause, he eventually picked up the phone.
"Rand, where are you?"
It was cold, like a mechanical sound coming from the other end of the microphone.
"I... just got off the interview and ready to go home."
Rand tried not to let his voice have any ups and downs.
"The place you go today is the Blue Moon Coast."
On the other hand, Vincent looked at the information on his hand, and his beautiful face was full of frost. The security guard in black involuntarily glanced in his direction, and his back was quickly soaked in cold sweat.
"You follow me again?"
Rand’s voice is not so much full of anger as it is full of fatigue.
Vinson did not even answer his question.
"Leave the Blue Moon Coast, immediately, I will send someone to pick you up."
"Hey, I have already left, you don't need-"
Rand heard the busy voice on the other end of the phone, sighed deeply, and then angered the phone to the co-pilot.
He is still driving the vehicle, and he naturally does not notice that he is immersed in his own emotions. On the highway that communicates with the Blue Moon Coast and surrounding cities, there is no one vehicle in addition to his own car.
Blue Moon Coast -
The body of the mermaid was salvaged by the silent soldiers.
The extremely bright portable spotlight illuminates, and the surface of the reef is covered with a blue water-repellent cloth. The body rests on it and is bathed in white light.
The researcher with a sturdy face stretched out the hand with a plastic glove and turned the merman over. He slid the seaweed's thick hair toward one side and then took a breath.
"This……"
Another person came together and looked at the things that appeared under the light, and the body trembled.
There is a wound on the back of the mermaid's skull. No, this description is too inaccurate.
To be precise, the rear side of the mermaid's skull split.
Just like a ripe nut husk cracked in half, the squid's skull cracked openly with a narrow crack.
There is no blood, no overflowing brain, and the crack is very clean.
"Oh, don't tell me this is true... God... it broke the shell..."
The latter man stumbled back two steps, as if the body in front of him would survive, fear fell and sat on the ground.
"Calm a little Steve," the researchers frowned and said that if his voice was too hoarse, he would look even calm. "No, not a broken shell."
He suddenly opened the skull of the mermaid with his hand - in theory, the skull that was unusually hard should be opened very easily, just like an egg shell.
Something left inside the skull is revealed, a pale yellow fetal sac, and if it is full, it should have a large fist and a half body left in the fetal sac.
Gray slender body, round pattern.
If Rand is here, he should be able to see at a glance that this thing is almost exactly the same as the one in his kettle. The only difference is that the only thing that appears in front of the researchers is that only the skin is present, and the bright red muscles and blue blood are completely gone.
The researchers' faces were as gray as the dead.
"The parasitic eggs that we left in the body of the experimental body No. 7371 did not hatch. On the contrary, after the paradox was swallowed by the experiment 7371, it escaped with larvalization."
"Swallowing? This is impossible, the project has never been successful..."
The coward, known as Steve, panicked, and he didn't want to, in any case, dare to imagine it.
"Go to the report," the researcher looked at Steve in desperation with desperation. "We have made the world's most evil and powerful creation come to the world."
