Her 430 Million Years

After the meal, Shuangsi and his wife went home.Fanli, Red Sister, and Xinghai went to the slave market together.

Darkness descends, just like the night of the Hyakki, the entire Gwanghae changes blood, and it becomes another picture: a large number of deep-sea residents have vertically migrated to the land of Gwanghae, and the Humboldt squid, known as the "Red Devil" by Spanish fishermen, stretches it two meters apart In order to hunt the lantern fish, he followed them from the dusk area into the dawn area and jumped to the surface of the water; the oar fish 1000 meters below sea level-the longest in the world The bony fish, which is 15 meters long, has a "crown" on its head, and catches those small crustaceans that are rushing to "commute" to the upper shallow waters; the greedy ferret shark also came out to forage, replacing 20,000 in ten years. The multi-toothed predator instinct eats all the life visible in the field of vision; while the devil fish are active day and night. They spread soft and flat wings, swim in a circular route like floating flags, and use circular water currents to stimulate the prey to enter. Pit, there is a kind of ultimate beauty of ocean dancers...

Looking at the dynamic scenery around, Sister Hong made a "hush" action: "We have to be careful. The Abyss also has a habit of vertical migration."

Lost in the sun, the suburban area of ​​Luoya looked a little scary.But countless firefighters drifted and rotated with the waves, illuminating the slave market brightly.

Although I knew that slavery in Gwanghae was legal, when I saw the scene of the slave trade, Fanli still felt a strong shock: they were unclothed and packed in steel cages, with large cages packed in piles. The cage was small, and each slave had an iron chain tied to his neck or tail fin, and the iron chain was firmly locked to the railing.Buyers passing by would make inquiries with slave owners, breaking the slaves’ teeth and squeezing their muscles.

Most of the slaves were descendants of sinners, prisoners of war, and slaves, almost all of the marine race, with only a few mixed species and extremely low probability hunters.The price of mixed species is more than five times higher than that of the marine race.The hunter clan doubled ten times, dozens of times.Beside the stalls of some wealthy slave owners, there were brave men with red crowns, tridents and fish crossbows.They are "slave hunters" who specialize in hunting escaped slaves.

"Oh, it's still so expensive." The red sister looked at their prices one by one, "Now that the source of slaves is so abundant, why are they still selling so expensive."

"The price...expensive?" Fanli confirmed the price again.Ordinary slaves only need three hundred to five hundred delops, and arcane textbooks can be exchanged for one dozen.

"Yeah, don't you know. In the last era, the price of slaves fell to 4 German. At that time, there were as many slave owners with a thousand slaves."

"Four virtues? Really or not..." Fan Li felt her pocket, and instantly felt that she was rich and powerful.

"That was a special period," Xinghai shook his head. "After the war, the economy declined, deflation, the government and the army were short of money, and a large number of prisoners of war and criminals poured into the market. Many poor people could not afford to eat, and would sell their children to slaves. Lord. Moreover, there is a big gap between the 1st German of that era and the current 1st German."

The red sister glanced at her mouth: "Yes, and during the war, many slaves wanted to get their property redeemed through war. The price of jumping off the property was just a momentary carnival. It was a bubble. I'd better save money."

"Why are you buying slaves?" Fan Li said.

"When we save enough money, the three of us are going to move to a bigger house. Of course we need a slave."

"Aren't we all ocean races, why do we want to enslave the same race..."

"The same race?" Red sister looked at her like a monster, "Fanli, no one in your family is a slave, right?"

"Nothing."

"Fortunately, otherwise I won't make friends with you. Don't open your mouth and talk nonsense about the same race."

Fanli felt that his cultural outlook was subverted.Why does an ocean race living in a slum discriminate against slaves who are also ocean races?

She remained silent and listened for a while, and she learned that even if the race is the same, slaves are citizens' possessions and do not have citizens' legal personal rights.

This is a very difficult phenomenon for Van Li.

As the loneliness of contemporary humans has intensified, a large number of shovelers have been born in society who spoil their "masters". The 2019 economic report shows that the sales of cat food in Chinese online stores have exceeded baby food, and the status of animals is rapidly increasing. Past humans.But for the sea people, slaves are worse than animals.

Seeing the thin and weak slaves in the cages, compared with the slave owners who ate fat to the oil next to the cages, an unknown fire rose slowly in Fanli's heart... Even looking at the red sister, she felt very hateful.

Born in a harsh environment, what is wrong with the children of these ocean races?

The same life, even the same race, how can such discrimination and trampling be achieved?

Fortunately, she was not born in this world, otherwise, she might be so angry that she could not eat by the many phenomena in this world.

At this time, a slave owner swam over and made a gesture for them to follow the past.He was fat, dark-skinned, and he wore an exaggerated emerald gold ring on his right thumb, like an Arab butcher who became rich overnight.Xinghai didn't intend to ignore it, but Sister Hong looked at it curiously, and Fanli swam over.

The slave owner introduced them to a boy who was displayed alone in a large cage: "This is just a high-quality slave with the bloodline of the'sage man'. He is only fifty-five years old and has a long tail. In the future, he will be a large-sized slave. He has the temperament of a'savvy man' and is expected to weigh 170 kg in adulthood. One eyebrow is high, but the whole body is symmetrical, and the ear fins are flawless. Our family does not sterilize slaves, and we can stay as slaves in the future Yes. I have been vaccinated against parasites and have undergone a full physical examination, as long as this price." He stretched out his hand to compare.

The boy in the cage has pale golden tails and ear fins, rose-colored hair, deep-sea eyes, and has exquisite features, like child stars in classic old movies.Seeing the customers approaching, he shrank into a ball and shivered, the roots of the tail fins were bloodied by iron stubs, the rust was mixed with the wounds, and he did not know if he would get tetanus...

"The bloodline of the wise man? Boss, you are amazing, you can get such amazing goods."

The red sister was about to reach out to touch his head, but the slave owner stopped her: "Wait, this is the source of the Star Haifei Town. We will not touch it. Our family only breeds pure blood slaves and does not sell second-hand. goods."

"Are there certificates?"

"Without a certificate, it must be a fake if there is a certificate."

The red sister gave the slave a satisfied glance: "Boss, is this the parent or the mother of the'high wise man'?"

The slave owner half-covered his mouth, leaning over and lowering his voice: "Sun Clan."

"The grandson? How is it possible, I have never heard of the'sage man' having children. You sell fakes."

"How impossible. It's just that the news has been suppressed by the Holy Capital. The'savvy man' has offspring, and it is the seed that was bred in the sea of ​​stars."

"No, I still don't believe it."

"I have been in the slave trade for fifty-eight years. Isn't it possible to understand the inside story of this industry less than you? Believe it or not, or not."

"Forget it, if it's true, I don't dare to raise it. If it's discovered, it's a death sentence."

"You don't tell me, who knows who his grandmother is. It's not over if you keep a low profile. How about let your friends consider and buy home to play with?" The slave owner's small eyes glanced at Xinghai.

In fact, it was Xinghai that he liked early in the morning, not Red Sister.Although Xinghai is a hybrid, he has a superior appearance and a noble and elegant temperament. He is more elegant than many sea gods. From his old eyes, it is mostly the concubine of a powerful man.Such a person is not bad for money. What is bad is the reputation and the pleasure of being superior to others, and they are also the most lavish guests in their industry.

"I don't buy fakes. Let's go." Xinghai left without looking back.

Red sister was just curious to ask the price, she couldn't afford such an advanced slave.Fan Li followed at the end, leaving only the slave owner yelling at the back: "It's nothing if you don't buy it. If you have a chance, come and see other goods." Hearing Xinghai say "fake", he actually had ten thousand grassy horses running past in his heart. But he was also afraid of being reported, so he could only stroke the big emerald gem on the ring, squeeze his anger, and say goodbye.

They strolled to the end of the market and rested in a relatively remote place.After swimming for a whole day, Fanli got tired, stretched out, and pretended to be careless: "Actually I don't understand, what is a'wise man'?"

The red sister looked around and confirmed that no one was eavesdropping. She leaned in to Fanli's ear and whispered: "Master Su Shiye is a commoner, and there is a sister who is not related by blood. This sister has a very high IQ. Later, the war broke out. Their brothers and sisters After being separated for a few years, she was sold to the slave market during this period. The'sage' refers to the sister of Lord Suseye. The'sage' slave refers to the slave with the blood of the sister's biological parents and their relatives."

"You mean... Suey?"

"Oh, yes, I just remembered that you are a student of arcane arts, and you must know Suy. That's right, she is. You don't know that she was a slave."

What the hell, mom was a slave?!

impossible.She never believed a word of these liars!But she soon thought of another thing--

"Wait, Suy is not related to the dictator by blood?"

"They didn't say it publicly, but the slave owners said it didn't."

"determine?"

"Not sure, but I think. After all, Sui looks like a marine clan, and the dictator is a pure-bred hunter clan, there can be no blood relationship."

It turns out that this uncle is probably not a dear uncle...

"If this is discovered by the dictator, isn't it going to be a big deal?" Fan Li asked in confusion.

"There are documents on it. Now the slave owner is caught selling the'sage wise man', and death is just one word. It's just that we are in the Red Moon Sea, and Saint Yejah's whip is beyond reach. But the boss's statement just now was ridiculous, he said That boy is the grandchild of the'sage wise man'. The reason is that the'sage wise man' used to bred with other slaves. In fact, Lord Su Shiye was more than two hundred years old. If the'sage wise man' had children early, in principle, he could have Grandchildren. But I still feel that the number is so small that it is impossible for us to run into such a coincidence."

"But, with the current status of the dictator..." Fanli felt wrong how she thought, "Isn't it easy to redeem all the distant relatives of his sister? How could they be allowed to continue to fall into the slave market?"

Red sister gave a strong high-five: "It makes sense, why didn't I expect it! Fanli, your little brain is so good!"

"The spread of rumors has a pattern. When the cost of accepting rumors is much less than the cost of identification, it is easy to spread exponentially. The cost of accepting rumors is not high."

"Oh!" Red sister did not understand.

Xinghai remained silent.He swam quickly, keeping his forehead pressed, his body swaying, as if his head were heavy.But Fanli was talking to Sister Red and didn't see this scene.

I was strolling along the slope of the sea mountain with my red sister. After a while, Fan Li suddenly stopped and found a large patch of snow-white minerals in front of me. If I didn't look carefully, I thought that there was heavy snow in the sea, leaving behind a snow mountain.She said suspiciously, "Why is the piece of coral in front of me white?"

"Fan Li, your eyesight is so good? Why do I still look blue..." Sister Red rubbed her eyes, but she had fewer cones than Fan Li, and she still couldn't see the color clearly, just squinted to see. After a while, he suddenly turned his head and shouted: "No, we have to go quickly!"

"what happened……"

At this time, four young girls from the Ocean Race swam over to them quickly, trembling and whimpering: "What to do, coral bleaching, is there an Abyss Race nearby...we are so scared..."

Fanli only felt the dangerous breath, but didn't know what was going on.One of the young girls trembled the most, crying and said: "Sister hug me, I'm so scared, save us..." Slowly approached Fanli.

With tears rolling around her small face, Fanli couldn't bear it for a moment, her eyes straightened, she just wanted to go up and hug her, but heard Xinghai's voice from behind: "Get out!"

At the same time, the girl's eyes suddenly became completely blood red, her fangs protruded from her mouth, and her fingernails grew by more than five centimeters.Her body also grew stronger, her muscles tightened within a second, making a hoarse noise, and biting towards Fanli's neck!She was so fast that Fan Li couldn't retreat, she was dying when she saw her, but she was shaken away by a powerful water wave.

The four young girls turned into a black-haired Abyss with red eyes and fangs, and were bounced fifteen meters away by the water wave.But they responded quickly, and Fanli saw a figure rushing past like lightning, blocking their way, and successfully angered them.They stopped attacking Fanli and Red Sister, and sprinted towards that "lightning" with a roar!

Four black shadows and a white light hit, split, ripped, dislocated, hit again... dazzlingly fast.Fan Li realized that this was not a dream, but a real scene until the waves shook, and at the same time the blood in the sea was inhaled from the gills.

The white light was the sea of ​​stars, and he had a short dagger in his hand, fighting the abyss race.

Soon, the two black shadows were defeated one after another, their necks were scratched, and they fell heavily to the ground, splashing heavy sand.The third was extremely angry, biting Xinghai's arm holding the dagger, and the dagger fell into the mud with a "push"!The Abyss Clan was so fierce as to sway his body and tail from side to side, trying to tear his arms off, only to see golden lightning jumping in the palm of his hand, quickly condensed into a ball, and buckled on top of her head.She snorted and tried to escape, but she was hit by a very strong current, and she trembled with high frequency.

The last abyss race is in a dilemma.She hadn't eaten for twelve days, but the Guanghai Clan in front of her didn't seem to be as weak as they had predicted.

Fanli glanced at the dagger buried in the sand, picked it up, lifted it up, and swam towards the last Abyss Clan.The abyss clan looked at her, then at the Xinghai, swam to the edge of the cliff with fright, and jumped down without looking back.Red sister wanted to follow her, Xinghai said, "Don't go. Maybe there are more. Let's leave."

Only then did he throw away the stunned Abyssal Clan, and while swimming, he held down his wound.Fan Li took out a bottle of healing medicine that he carried with him from his bag, and went to help him apply it, only to see blood spreading between his fingers in the seawater.She gently pushed his hand away and found that he was bitten very deeply, and some bones could be seen vaguely, her face was wrinkled: "Xinghai, you...you are so injured, let's go to the hospital... …"

"It's okay, little hurt."

Xinghai threw the three fainted Abyss Clan under the cliff and led them to swim in the direction of Luoya's city center, while casting arcane arts to heal himself.

Red sister looked down at his wounds healed little by little, and was surprised to see the treasure: "Fanli, your classmate is so amazing, one dozen four, you really deserve to be a shark."

"Yes, yes, the look of saving us just now is really cool!"

Seeing Fan Li's star eyes, Xinghai smiled and said lightly: "If it is really strong, it won't be hurt."

"Don't be humble, those few are all abyss hunters!" Red sister sighed.

"Actually, I didn't have the strength to deal with the fourth one just now, but she was so frightened to jump off the cliff when she saw Fanli holding a dagger. She was still too young, timid and lacking combat experience."

Fanli laughed loudly: "So, is it useful for me to behave? Is she going back to the abyss?"

"Yes."

The red sister shivered: "I only saw the Abyss Clan in the execution ground before, and I didn't know that they would be transformed..."

"A large part of the Abyss race has the ability to mimic squid. Predation instinct allows them to evolve many traits that the Guanghai race does not have, such as deformation, discoloration, transparency, which means invisibility, and fluorescence in the dark. Fangs and nails. Needless to say, deep-sea fish all grow like this."

"too frightening."

"The Guanghai tribe is even more terrifying, because we made them like this. The four abyss tribe ancestors who fought with us just now are all close relatives with us, but they can only live in the abyss and darkness. Just like devouring eels. It’s impossible for the Abyss Clan to see the sun for a lifetime. At best, they follow the vertically-migrating creatures to hunt, and other times they stay motionless in the abyss—in order to reduce energy consumption."

"It's no wonder that the ghost stories I've heard from childhood are related to the deep sea." The red sister's face turned pale and she said she got goose bumps. "If you think about it, if we fall, we will be caught in large numbers immediately. The Abyss Clan eats no bones left."

"That's right, as long as they are in our territory, they will be very afraid of arcane magic. Once in their territory, even if their civilization is far behind us, we are at a disadvantage. The illusion of abyss is enough to make us passive."

The illusion of abyss is caused because in the process of evolution, the danger of the Guanghai people falling from a height is greater than the danger of upstream.The estimate of the height of the low from the high place will be much greater than the estimate of the high from the low place.For example, the abyss under the cliff just now, if there is a depth of 100 meters below, the visual will tell them that it is 300 meters.This is a big error in combat.So for more than 400 million years, Guanghai has been troubled by the abyss, but has nothing to do with these fearless abyss demons.

"That's no way. Everyone wants to live in a sunny place." Red sister sighed, "I once dived to the edge of the twilight zone, and I was really shrouded in a sense of utter fear..."

They returned to the slave market and were about to go to the hospital, only to see people around the execution platform.The red sister smacked her lips and said, "Oh, I'm going to behead again."

"It seems that there are other Abyss tribes caught."

Fanli poked her head curiously and glanced at it, but just in time saw an abyss clan shouting hoarse and angrily amidst a shout, and was forced to press on the guillotine.Then, the executioner put down the one hundred kilograms of the blade, and did not even pray for the priest that ordinary criminals should have, and directly killed him.

The blood stained the sea water.The head with its eyes rolled and an angry expression rolled around on the ground lightly, and was pocketed by the Marine Clan of the Criminal Law Department and thrown into the hungry ferret sharks.

Fan Li was so frightened by this brutal scene that she couldn't even scream.Then she found that none of the onlookers felt scared. On the contrary, there was a lot of discussion and even booing.Thinking of using the soul exchange forbidden technique would end in this way, Fanli only felt that her neck was sore and her head was crumbling, and the fear of death ate her nerves like a colony of termites.

But the previous shock had not passed, and another weird picture appeared in front of her: under the push of the soldiers, the civilians on the side of the road automatically gave way to the road.Two funerals carried a stretcher and swam to a higher position.Lying on the stretcher was a corpse dyed red with white cloth. Even though the whole body was covered, it could be seen that the left body had only bones left, supporting the white cloth like a hanger; the right body was intact, with the cloth bulging high.

"The slave owner just died?" Fan Li said in amazement.

"This method of death should be the hands of the Abyss Clan," Xinghai said.

The funeral staff swam very quickly, so the right hand of the corpse slipped out of the stretcher.It was a fat hand with an emerald and gold ring on his thumb.But soon, that hand was pushed back and covered it under the blood-stained cloth again.

Later, Red Sister also went home, and Fan Li accompanied Xinghai to the hospital to dress up the wound.After coming out of the infirmary, Xinghai lowered his head and looked at her: "How are you? I have been worried since just now."

Fan Li's mind was filled with the head of the Abyss Clan and the hands wearing the ring, and her thoughts were in confusion.She lowered her head, shook her head vigorously, and swam out of the hospital.

Luoya at night has a silence after the prosperity fades.If the sea waves are blowing by a huge wind, the call on the sea surface, the murmur from deeper, stroking the grassland submerged by salt water, shaking the red coral group like the flower of life.

Seeing that Fanli was just heading down and swimming forward, Xinghai followed one side step by step, and whispered, "If it is not convenient, is there a place I can help you?"

"I..." Fanli stopped, her eyes half-covered by her hair asking for help, "I...I want to go to land. Can you help me?"

"It's not difficult to go to land, but now there is a ban on going to sea. After the ban is lifted, I can take you there anytime."

"But how long will the ban be lifted?"

"I don't know... Hasn't the Shengdu released the news recently? Maybe at most half a month to a month."

too long.She was afraid that she would have fallen to the ground before she waited.She said imploringly: "Xinghai, I want to go out to sea...I only told you."

"Ok."

Although it didn't sound like a big deal, Xinghai had already sensed that this was a very important secret for her.He swam side by side with her for a while, looking at the dreamlike glowing jellyfish group in the distance, smiling and saying, "What is the wedding vow in your hometown?"

"Regardless of poverty or wealth, regardless of health or disease, I am willing to share weal and woe with you and grow old with you until life and death separate us... this kind of thing."

"It's the same in my hometown. But we also brought the religious vows to the gods. I am an atheist, so I don't think the vows of love for the other half are great for the sake of the gods. The great is one A man goes against his DNA instinct to selectively sacrifice himself and love his wife."

"Do you think of your father?"

"Yes. I remember him and his mother who loved me so much. I remember him telling me that if you meet a girl you love, you should treat her with more care. I also remember that my parents tried every means to keep me alive. But they It seems to be a waste of effort."

"why?"

"My health is very bad." Xinghai paused, "I have severe negative memory phagocytosis."

"Negative memory phagocytosis?"

"Well, I often get headaches, and in severe cases, I will fall into a state of suspended animation. This state is usually 15 minutes to half an hour. After waking up, my health is not affected, but there will be a large gap in my memory, and these Blanks seem to have been painful memories. For example, I know that I had a long period of unhappiness in my childhood — I saw these things in the composition I wrote in elementary school, but now I have no impression at all. Neither do I I remember what happened before and after my parents died, and the mood at that time. Because of the large blanks in my memory, I often regain consciousness and look at the time and date, but I will not be able to match the number."

Guang Hai Li had this disease... Fan Li was surprised, but also felt very worried for Xinghai: "A life without sadness at all...It seems hard to imagine."

"Sorry, Fanli, it made you feel uncomfortable." Xinghai smiled helplessly, "I told you this, only as a secret in exchange. I only told you about this."

"Well, I won't tell anyone."

With this day's experience, Fanli missed her previous life even more.She missed her father, her former friends, her college admission letter, and everything in the human world...

She had already made countless plans to go to sea in the future, but she did not expect that this day would come so soon.

The next morning, Fanli swam to the first floor, ready to read news and books, and went to Haibo to meet with Su Shiye.But when the TV was turned on, she stayed the moment she heard the news.

Dangdang screamed directly, flew over and held her hand, smiling like a spring flower, and the fluorescent glands on the ear fins also trembled: "Pear, ah, great! The long confinement day is finally over. ended!!"

In the Red Moon Sea News, the reporter is interviewing the municipal official of Loya City. The headline on the subtitle is "St. Yegana's Land and Sea Department: The restrictions on access to sea are lifted.

The voice of the news host immediately sounded: "The Ministry of Land and Sea of ​​St. Jegana announced that the restrictions on export to sea have been officially lifted. 37,942 citizens of St. Jegana have gone through the sea registration procedures, reaching a new high in 184 years. The Ministry of Land and Sea declared, In the next two weeks, the remaining sea areas will gradually lift the restrictions. The next sea area that will be open to the public is the Red Moon Sea, which will open at 7 o'clock in the morning on October 15. The dictator of Guanghai Su Shiye is in Red Moon. The city of Luoya, the capital of the sea, accepted an interview, expressing gratitude to the citizens of Guanghai for their active cooperation in the investigation of the Shengdu government. From now until December 30 this year, all the fees for the registration of going to sea will be borne by the government of St. Jegana... "

Seeing Su Shiye's focused eyes and sharply contoured face in the news, Fanli felt old and tearful——

Uncle, whether you are my real uncle or not, I will call you now, my good uncle!

***4.3 Small Theater***

Yejia: "The pear cub is going to see uncle soon. I am curious, if you call out'uncle' in front of your uncle, how will your uncle react?"

Su Shiye: "What do you think."

Yejia: "Oh, I see, there will be reactions to let her know what can be done by adult men and women who are not related by blood, right?"

Xinghai: "?"

Xitian: "?????!!!"
