Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 1607 Merman ([-])

Professor Liao then told the story of her youth...

At that time, she was less than 30 years old. As a young and capable Chinese female doctor, she was seconded to the United States to do special scientific research.

At that time, there were several very confidential projects in the United States, which were good opportunities for young scientists, and there were some extreme secrets that modern people would never imagine.

Professor Liao was fortunate to have participated in an advanced project, which was the analysis of the Kraken's corpse.

At that time, the secret scientific research team sent a well-preserved carcass of the Kraken, which was said to have been caught on the coast of Greece more than 100 years ago.

It was a time of war, and people didn't have much energy to care about anecdotes.

After the locals captured the sea monster, they sold it at a high price. After several hands, it was kept privately by a Greek nobleman for a long time.

Later, the U.S. secret research team found a way to get the corpse, and sent Professor Liao and other scientists to search for the special attributes of the alien creature on the corpse, hoping to promote the development of biology.

Siren has always been a banshee in the form of half man and half fish in Greek mythology. There are different versions of its form, and there are many different legends.

The ancient Greeks believed that the sea monster was originally an ancient monster in the sea that fed on humans, but because of its ugly appearance, it often frightened humans, causing humans to dare not approach the coast.

The sea monsters also found that there was no prey to catch, so they began to evolve into beautiful women to lure humans ashore.

On the Greek temples dedicated to the god of the sea or the goddess of the sea, there are many patterns similar to the evolution of sea monsters.

Homer once said convincingly that he had seen this kind of sea monster, saying that they lived on an island, and they used their beautiful songs to attract passing navigators, and they made a night of fun with them, and then ate them.

So their islands are also full of human bones.

In the early documents of Greek mythology, there are also the earliest records of sea monsters, which are simply summarized as follows:
[In terms of appearance, there is not much difference between a sea monster and a human except for the fish tail on the lower body, but the appearance of the sea monster is extremely beautiful, like a sea goddess. 】

Therefore, in people's minds, sea monsters are mostly mermaids, and they can use their voices and appearances to confuse people.

But the sea monster that Professor Liao and the others studied at that time was really ugly, and there was no trace of a mermaid.

It was a blackened corpse, all chemical potion was used to keep the fat from decomposing, but it still looked like a rotten fish, which was disgusting.

The overall height of the sea monster is not much different from that of a human. Its lower body is fishtail-shaped, smooth and without scales, but the muscles of the fishtail are very strong. When swinging in the water, it should have strong strength and swim extremely fast.

She did not have the smooth and white skin as in the legend, nor did she have bright eyes, white teeth, or soft long hair.

On the contrary, the skin on her upper body is very rough, her ears are gills, her mouth has long fangs, her hair is extremely long, disheveled and thick, like dense water plants, and her complexion is ferocious, her eyes are huge, and she looks very fierce.
This not-so-beautiful mermaid has been in the embalming potion for a long time.

Their task at the time was to study the characteristics and habits of this peculiar creature through this strange corpse more than 100 years ago.

The researchers at that time did some general inspections and provided some fat and bone data, which was actually almost as small as people said.

This fish has a normal skeleton from head to tail, but she has no legs, and her spine is like a shark's fin from head to tail.

The gills can be retracted, it is an amphibian, the hands are webbed, the hair is very stiff, there are small hidden spines on it, and the spines are poisonous.

This fish should have floated out accidentally after dying naturally at the bottom of the sea, without any scars on its body.

And in the mouth of this fish, a special mucous substance was found, whose chemical composition is very similar to the current psychedelic drugs, but with a high degree of control.

And the vocal cords in the oral cavity are very complicated.

A bold guess can be made that this fish emits a special sound wave.

This sound wave can affect the human brain, causing uncontrollable hallucinations, divergent thinking, and even amnesia.

In this special study, the young Professor Liao made a special discovery.

She found some discarded eggs in the siren's body.

Those eggs are pink, broken and discarded, leaving a lot of pink shells, which are shiny, just like the current pink fluorescent powder.

The structure of these eggs is very similar to that of human beings, and the eggs are divided into two seasons, which means that she has two ovulation periods a year, which should be in summer and winter respectively.

A creature with this characteristic has a strong desire to reproduce, and when she ovulates, she will be in urgent need of finding a mating partner just like an animal in estrus.

It seems that the legend that sea monsters can interbreed with humans may be true.

But this kind of double-egg creature has an obvious characteristic, just like the praying mantis. After mating, the mother will eat the father's body after confirming the pregnancy, so as to obtain nutrition and give birth to offspring.

So in a sense, it's a creature that's both seductive and cruel.

"It's the color of the egg!" Professor Liao said anxiously to Chen Zhi,
"Although so many years have passed, I will never recognize the pink egg with a special luster.

On the night those diving experts disappeared, sporadic pink egg shells appeared on the surface of the sea, and disappeared for a while.

I told the fishermen about this situation and asked them if they had seen it before. They said that this kind of situation has happened in this sea area, especially in summer and winter.

So I was sure that there must be creatures like sea monsters in this sea. They are now ovulating and need male humans to mate. Those diving experts must have been captured by them.

But the ovulation and mating period is very short. Once the goal is achieved, they will eat those diving experts without hesitation. At that time, it will be too late.

Xiao Chen, human life is greater than the sky, and these experts are all invited by me, you must save them..."

　Just one today.I didn't sleep last night, and now I can't. Chapter 2 will be added tomorrow morning.
