Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 287 Deep Sea Fish

The moonlight illuminates the way back for mankind.

The young man with a cropped head was wobbly on his feet. If he hadn't been supported by someone, he might have slipped on the sole of his foot, stepped on a puddle, and would have fallen into the field ridge, rolling in mud.

"Brother Xia... There is a stone in front of Brother Xia!" The minor grabbed the adult and pulled him to the left, barely avoiding the raised obstacle.

I don't know who was so heartless and dropped the broken stones on the ground. It looked like a stone slab fell to the ground and shattered.

Gao Tianyi pulled it once, and pulled it twice, but the number of times was too many, and the young man broke down a bit.

"I said." Gao Tianyi tugged on the adult's sleeve and tried to turn around, "Can we walk faster."

Go back sooner, sooner the drunk adults can take the hangover medicine.

They made a mistake and didn't bring all the things with them. Relying on refreshing charms didn't do much, and it was considered a success to make Xia Chengyin react to being drunk so late.

Gao Tianyi took out another talisman and pasted it on the adult's back, thinking about the possibility of knocking people unconscious.

If you think about it, you will find that it is unrealistic. A young man can't beat an adult without any means, not to mention that the other three are self-contained, and no one cares about him.

Gao Tianyi: I'm still young, and I'm so tired.

A man and a woman at the back sandwiched another companion in the middle, and the one wearing glasses observed carefully, especially the part of the black-haired young man's cheek adjacent to the pinna, where the skin was smooth and there was no abnormality.

"Is there really no adverse reaction?"

"No."

"Well, this sentence is true."

"...Which one of his words is not true." Qi Zhuyue tossed her head irritably, rubbing her long hair into a mess, "The fish on the table... Baisu, you said the fish you saw in the backyard -"

The observed person lowered his head, and quickly swipe his fingers on the phone screen.

After a while, the black-haired young man seemed to have seen something, and he held his chin and fell into deep thought.

"..." Qi Zhuyue didn't know what to say, so she could only call out the name again, "Baisu?"

The black-haired young man turned his head following the voice, his eyes of the same color looked at the human woman, and his lips parted slightly: "I just...saw this fish."

The screen of the mobile phone turned to other people, and it took a long time to load through the slow network before a photo appeared - a silver-gray oarfish with a red dorsal fin.

This fish is actually nothing. The photos on the Internet make it a little ugly. Compared with other fish around, it looks extremely huge.

But the problem is, Baisu saw it in the backyard.

"Is it alive?" Tang Nuo asked.

"It's alive." Baisu replied, "At the moment when the light came on, it swam twice."

The coiled figure is more hidden under the water surface, and the only thing that can be observed by the naked eye is the movement of the ribbon fish's head facing down to avoid it.

The three-to-four-meter-long body is condensed in this small water tank, which is a little pitiful, and more of it is how the deep-sea fish survive on the shore.

Humans looked at the photos, heard the answers, and fell into deep thought.

They really didn't expect that it was only the first night of the first day, and they encountered such a thrilling and unreasonable thing during dinner.

With the appearance of the oarfish, the rest of the fish kept in the fish tank were not very eye-catching. After searching and identifying them, he still found a few fish that did not belong to shallow water.

Where does he usually come into contact with so many fish? He can recognize the oarfish because he caught it because he was playing a human game. What is the game called... One is an island building game, and he catches bass all day long. He has nothing to do with that game. Interesting, I played it once or twice after being recommended by fans; another game called Yu ○ Undercurrent also has oarfish, which is one of the few fish that has not mutated.

One thing to say, he was quite curious about the taste of those polluted and mutated fish... Is it the same as the one cooked in this village?

"That's right." Thinking of something, Baisu took back his phone, "I asked where the water pipe in the backyard leads to."

Under Baisu's description, Tang Nuo could almost restore the layout of the backyard.

There are three rows of fish tanks that are three or four storeys high, and a water pipe is connected to the top floor of each stack. Several water pipes and a corner of the yard converge into a thick strand, and climbed from the position opposite to the water tanks. go out.

"People... said that the connection is sea water."

"……what?"

The eyes of the three parties met, apart from Baisu's dull eyes, Tang Nuo and Qi Zhuyue undoubtedly showed a look of astonishment.

seawater.

Baisu also confirmed it, and the middle-aged woman said that those water pipes led into the sea.

If you want to talk about raising marine fish, humans can still make up a story, find some barely credible scientific means to explain how the fish was brought up, after all, money can make ghosts turn mills.

But the seawater... Let's not talk about the altitude of this mountain village, let's talk about the degree of dilapidation of those pipelines. To absorb some liquid from the stream in the mountain, you have to cross a horizontal ditch of hundreds of meters... To put it bluntly, it is too dilapidated.

Humans obviously thought of this too. When they left Wen Jianyuan's house, they turned a little corner and went to the back of the house to take a look. There were indeed inconspicuous pipes submerged in the grass and covered by vegetation.

I didn't see it during the day, maybe they ignored it.

"Then... let's say it's sea water and living deep-sea fish..." Tang Nuo pressed his forehead and gave up thinking. "We'll talk about these issues tomorrow. The most urgent thing is—"

He led the eyes of the others to look forward, and the two people in front of them, one big and one small, squatted on the ground without any image, with a bad posture.

Baisu: "...Isn't Officer Xia a good drinker?"

Tang Nuo: "Actually, it's pretty good, but I can't stand drinking like this today. To be able to drink like crazy until now is already a talent."

Qi Zhuyue: "I think we should help each other... Xiao Gao Daoist is about to be crushed and passed out."

After being reminded by Qi Zhuyue, who really couldn't stand it anymore, the two men finally stepped forward and pulled the people on the ground up one by one.

Xia Chengyin was already drunk and half asleep, relying on his own conditioned reflex to move around there. Bai Li was almost hit by him when he walked over, but Tang Nuo didn't respond much after changing it.

Regarding this, Tang Nuo pushed his glasses and said, "It should be because he is not familiar with your aura."

Baisu looked at his hand that was almost hit, and shrugged indifferently.

He went to mention Xia Chengyin because he considered the strength of human arms. Since human beings didn't appreciate it, he stepped aside, and it was quite labor-saving to carry the human imp.

In the case of transporting drunks wholeheartedly, they finally returned to their place of residence by stepping on the moonlight, accompanied by the sound of remote dogs and insects from time to time.

First, the drunk was put in and given anti-alcoholic medicine to wait for the person to wake up, and then some samples brought back from the hidden clothes were taken out for testing.

In the end, only Baisu and Qi Zhuyue, who had nothing to do, stood together.

It can't be said that it's all right. According to the human plan, they planned to do a simple inspection for the Baisu who ate the whole fish feast after returning.

Even if the person concerned says it's okay, the inspection is still necessary.

This job fell to Qi Zhuyue who had nothing else to do.

As soon as the human female heard it, she put on a mask of pain in her heart, and the whole person's emotions showed-you might as well kill me.

Baisu felt that the surrounding was too quiet, raised his eyes, and looked at Qi Zhuyue who was standing there with a "calm" expression.

"It's not for inspection." He asked, "Is it enough to just look at it?"

"Ah... ah, wait a minute." Qi Zhuyue choked out a sentence.

She returned to the bag in the house and took out the blood collection props. The bag of their special department is like this, and it can be regarded as a treasure bag to some extent. Of course, it can't reach the level of Doraemon.

She went in and out quickly, and when she came out, the black-haired young man was standing under the moonlight.

The moon, which had been covered by clouds for a long time, finally appeared, and the cold light shone on the person's body, creating a few circles of intoxicating white light.

As if it was Qi Zhuyue's illusion, she seemed to be fascinated by the moonlight, how could she see fish-like opening and closing gills on a human face... huh?

When Qi Zhuyue came back to her senses, she had already crossed the distance of two meters and touched Baisu's face with her hand.

The touch feels icy and cool, there is no so-called gill structure, only a piece of smooth skin.

It's just... Can human body temperature really be this cold?
"What's wrong?" Baisu asked.

His plain eyes looked at the human female who was half a head shorter than him, who was looking at him stupidly, with her hand still attached to his cheek.

This is a very close distance, so close that it is somewhat intimate, but Baisu did not avoid human touch.

After all, the illusion of fish gills was deliberately created by him.

For humans, it seems to be an illusion that does not exist, but for Baisu, it only needs to slightly modify the outline of the cheeks to simulate the respiratory organs of fish.

No, Qi Zhuyue was confused after just a glance, and then staggered over, wanting to touch the reality she saw.

When the woman's hand is about to touch it, the change disappears.

Now, the black-haired youth pretended to take a step back, away from the woman's hand, and cast all his doubts away.

"Is there any change in my face?" He touched his face knowingly, and then touched his ears along the back of his cheeks.

The ear bones were pinched softly by the fingertips. They were human ears, not fish fins.

After a long silence, the human woman finally awoke from what she had seen.

The cold temperature escaped from her fingertips, she could only stroke her fingers twice, recalling the possibility of coexistence of smoothness and coolness.

This man's skin is too good...the temperature...the temperature may be caused by the night wind.

The night wind in the mountains was gentle, and the exposed skin was covered with goosebumps.

"No... nothing has changed, I must have read it wrong."

Qi Zhuyue chose to keep silent in the end, and her movements became much more crisp and neat. After completing the blood collection operation, she took out the instruments in her bag to have a look.

Sure enough, the value remained high.

That's right, just look at the whole fish feast, and look at the unusual moisture in the village.

After they entered the village, they had seen the value of the Yin Qi test. At that time, they just felt that there was something strange hiding secrets in the village, and they didn't expect that the strangeness would be revealed so quickly.

Everyone needs to have a foreshadowing process when playing games... unless a whole fish feast like this is already a foreshadowing.

"That's right, the plot of the game is not set up like this." Baisu agreed.

Qi Zhuyue snorted: "...Did I say what's on my mind?"

"Miss Qi is surprisingly easy to understand." Baisu rolled her eyes, "Thoughts are written all over her face."

Qi Zhuyue put away her things, pursed her lips and did not answer.

Seeing that she didn't respond to him, Baisu said to himself: "As far as the games I played live before I came here, what usually happens when I go to sleep on the first night... So strictly speaking, dinner can also be fine. Is it night?"

Due to some procrastination, they went to Wen Jianyuan's house for dinner quite late, and because of drinking, it was against Baisu's speed of clearing the table, and they managed to shorten the meal time to less than two hours.

"At night..." Qi Zhuyue murmured, "It's better not to have anything happen."

What they are playing is not a virtual game that can be saved and loaded, but an extreme survival with only one life.

Accidents are accidents, and death is real death.

……

The police officer had a short meeting after he sobered up.

However, considering the headache and physical discomfort and it was getting late, in order to have a full energy for the next day, this meeting was really short.

After summarizing what happened today, I didn’t have enough dinner and took out the dry food in the bag to pad my hunger. At this time, the people in the special department felt that the instant food of various flavors developed by their R&D department was useful.

For example, what is thrown into the mouth now is the braised beef noodle flavor.

Bai Li, who was not hungry, also took a piece and ate it. It tasted a bit dry and full of satiety.

"All in all—" Baisu didn't listen to the first half of the human's words, but only listened to the final summary, "Let's take a good rest today and wait for tomorrow's test results."

The inch-headed policeman waved his hand and used a very vivid metaphor.

If you don't sleep at night, you may have a physical condition when you wake up tomorrow morning.

However, even sleeping may encounter special circumstances, so please be vigilant.

"Does that require a vigil?"

"Need not."

The humans shook their heads, and pointed to the talisman papers and small props pasted around the room, which was one of the reasons why they brought Gao Tianyi with them.

The policeman fell asleep after finishing his speech. It seemed that the excessive drinking at night really caused him a lot of trouble. The young people beside him also lay down on the ground, leaving only Baili sitting there, looking down at the two humans on the ground. .

In the end, the elder and the younger chose to sleep together.

what is this?
The black-haired young man propped his chin thoughtfully until he looked at the humans with horror.

The alcoholic one couldn't wake up, it could only be a minor showing a pair of eyes from under the quilt.

"Brother Bai, aren't you going to sleep?"

"immediately."

The black-haired youth simply replied, and then lay down too.

Hands crossed in front of the abdomen, still in the standard sleeping position that can be sent to a funeral home as a corpse, a pair of eyes of the same color are shining brightly there in the dark.

It took a long time for the eyelids to close, blocking their vision.

But monsters don't dream.
