Chapter 3: Sudden pain (1)

If there is any benefit to crossing the adult fish, it is probably that there is almost no ugly existence in this race in the universal sense.
Or charming, or charming, or handsome, or masculine... Although this kind of race is cruel and violent inside, but their appearance is perfect and can't find any flaws.
Perhaps the author who wrote the fairy tale "Mermaid" has really seen a mermaid, but he only saw the beauty of the mermaid leaning on the reef, but he never heard how much resentful wailing still echoes in that sea area.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaokui twitched his mouth.
Maybe she can consider becoming a cartoonist in the future, drawing mermaids full-time.
I am afraid that no one in the world has drawn a mermaid that is closer to reality than her.
Zhao Xiaokui was thinking wildly in her mind while refreshing the webpage with her mobile phone. A lot of things have happened in the past five years, and she needs to get an idea.
Looking down and playing with her mobile phone, she walked like an unknown prophet, and her body automatically avoided a girl who was frolicking with her girlfriend on the road.
When she was in high school, she was very easy to walk and play with her mobile phone. She was able to automatically avoid various buildings. After crossing the deep sea, the skill point has reached a new level-the mermaid’s perception of ocean currents, although it is in the air It is weakened, but only for walking, it is more than enough to almost use a sledgehammer.
In fact, the information she can receive is much more than that.
For example, she now knows that two girls walking in the shadows across the pedestrian street close to a hundred meters away, playing with their arms, are fascinated by the new dynamics of their idols, two people who seem to have no expressions, actually The tone of excitement was like a squirrel entering a barn; and on the street a little further away, a dog-walking shovel officer was desperately pulling the leash, trying to hold the husky in his house who wanted to run for freedom; At the clothing store she just passed by, the proprietress was persuading a hesitant girl to pay, and the girl’s best friend, with all kinds of provocations on her lips, sent the message "too expensive! At least half the price online!"...
Zhao Xiaokui stopped.
"Do you have a life jacket, a swimming ring, or a tire if you don't have it, the girl seems to be unable to hold it..."
"Girl, don't be afraid, don't panic, someone will come to rescue you right away!"
"Creating evil, the couple quarreled, the man pushed the woman down, it was a murder..."
Someone fell into the river, and enthusiastic citizens are actively rescuing.
Hearing someone said that he had called the firefighter, Zhao Xiaokui was no longer curious and prepared to walk by.
The river is not big, more than ten meters wide, and the water is not deep, with an average appearance of two to three meters. The rescue is timely and no one can drown.
Two sips of water at most.
The 18-year-old Zhao Xiaokui would push a bicycle and carry a schoolbag to join in the fun, but the 23-year-old Zhao Xiaokui just wanted to go home early.
She quickly passed behind the crowd of onlookers. The short bridge was full of people eating melons. When passing a gap, she turned her head and glanced at the place where the water fell.
She turned her head and didn't turn back again. Instead, she squeezed away from the crowd around the bridge. She didn't see how she moved. The two big men with blue dragons and white tigers tattooed on their arms were squeezed away by her.
"Help me get the bag."
"Ah, ah?"
The onlooker girl who was suddenly stuffed with something hadn't reacted yet, Zhao Xiaokui had already supported the railing with one hand, looked through the bridge, and jumped into the water cleanly.
At this time, the enthusiastic elder brother who was about to go into the water to save others had just taken off his shirt.
"Someone jumped down!"
Onlookers exclaimed.
Zhao Xiaokui sank into the water under the action of gravity.
As she expected, the water was not deep. She hadn't deliberately picked the place where she went into the water. It was about two or three meters.
She stepped on her toes on the bottom of the river full of sand and gravel, and waved her arms. Instead of poking out her head to look at the girl’s direction like an ordinary person, she went straight to the girl who fell into the water like a sharp arrow. Away.
Even without the fish tail, she still looked like a mermaid agile when she returned to the water.
She swam a long distance under the water, and when she got out of the water, she was already beside the drowning girl.
Someone didn't notice the process of her getting into the water, and was shocked by her sudden appearance.
The girl who fell into the water obviously couldn't swim, and she kept throwing her hands and feet together in the water, and barely kept her nose and mouth floating outside.
Enthusiastic people kept giving her suggestions to let her relax, so that her body would float in the water and reduce physical exertion, but when people panic, they are often irrational.
What's more, behind her, there is another "person" pulling her.
Water ghost.
Ghosts that are common in all kinds of Strange Tales of Liao Zhai and folklore.
In the summer, my grandmother used it to scare Zhao Xiaokui who tried to sneak to the riverside to play in the water many times with an adult on his back.
But the little girl who has always been bolder than the sky never believed it.
When I was in the mermaid world, I saw records of similar creatures in books.
The so-called water ghosts, although they are called ghosts, are not ghosts in the actual sense, but a collection of grievances of people who are dead in the water.
This kind of aggregate has no wisdom, only instinct, only the hatred and resentment of the drowned towards the living.
It may take thousands of years. It is possible that life will be born in this kind of aggregate, but in the mermaid world, the possibility is too small, because this kind of special creature that only exists in the waters of ordinary human settlements is too great. Too weak, sometimes a breath of transcendent passing by, may break it up.
When Zhao Xiaokui still remembered where he was in a book created by celebrity fish, the other party also sighed, saying that he had found traces of water ghosts in more than a dozen places, but only one water ghost was being distributed uncontrollably by him. Stayed before the power quaked.
It sounds like the water ghost is very vulnerable.
But that was an extraordinary world...Although Zhao Xiaokui had never seen more humanoid intelligent creatures besides the mermaid, she had seen the high priest wave his hand and the entire sea area was separated. With a stick, there were countless luminous scenes. The existence that is not worth mentioning for the transcendent may be an incomprehensible horror for ordinary people.
Zhao Xiaokui is not a virgin, but she can't help watching a poor girl die in front of her if she is capable.
So she jumped down.
Her arrival made the water ghost a little restless.
Although there is no intelligence, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is the common nature of all living things.
Zhao Xiaokui made it feel threatened.
This water ghost seems to have been born in this waters for a while, and may have strangled other people. Therefore, although fearful, but instinctively hate the living, it still makes it haunt the girl and refuse to let go.
Zhao Xiaokui took the girl's arm, looked down slightly, staring at the surface of the water, and his voice was low: "Go--"
The invisible shock spread in the air, wrapped around the girl, and her hair like seaweed suddenly turned into dust and scattered.
Zhao Xiaokui raised his eyebrows, a little surprised at his deterrence.
The water ghost was weaker than she thought.
In other words, she is stronger than she thought.
She thought she could only drink away the water ghost.
You know, although the water ghost is a rankless creature in the records, in the deep sea, as a mermaid who has just grown up, Zhao Xiaokui's own rank has just reached one level.
As for the mermaid who grew up at the same time as her, almost all have the second or third level as an adult.
That's why she thought about suicide, not escape before the coming-of-age ceremony.
What can a first-order mermaid do? Even if I read two more books and have a little more brain than other mermaids, in front of absolute power, it is nothing.
The next thing becomes simple.
Without the interference of water ghosts, the river was Zhao Xiaokui's home ground, and she easily took the girl to the shore.
At this time, the ambulance and fire fighting had just arrived.
The girl was in a coma, and the fire fighter pulled the girl out of the water. The doctor who got down from the ambulance quickly picked her up and began to rescue her.
Zhao Xiaokui climbed up behind her, and as soon as she went ashore, a towel covered her head.
"Oh girl, wipe it, be careful of catching a cold..."
The enthusiastic aunt didn't wait for her to refuse, so she helped her wipe up the water, and Zhao Xiaokui was a little bit dumbfounded.
I don't know who called someone to save her, and there was a round of applause around her, which shocked her.
"Good job!"
"Heroine!"
"The beauty is amazing!"
The little girl who had been stuffed with her bag and sunglasses earlier, also carried her bag in one hand, and drove over with a pair of shoes from the other side.
His small face was filled with excitement, and his eyes were shining, like a little fan.
"Sister, your bag and shoes."
Zhao Xiaokui brushed her hair with her hand, took the things over, and thanked him.
Seeing that there were media carrying cameras and microphones rushing in this direction, Zhao Xiaokui's face changed slightly when he thought that he still had an artist status. Regardless of the voice of others asking for the name, he stuffed the towel into the aunt's hand and got into the crowd. , Leave directly.
The fire truck stopped on the side of the road not far away. Zhao Xiaokui glanced at a man who seemed to be calling, and quickly looked away.
Gradeless humans who are only a little stronger than the water ghost... don't pay much attention.
She lowered her head, put on her sunglasses again, listening to the navigation of the re-planned route, and continued to follow.
The clothes are wet, and other people may feel uncomfortable, but Zhao Xiaokui feels very comfortable, like wearing a coat that can't be more intimate.
It's just that not long after being far away from the crowd, she suddenly felt wrong--
pain.
The moment her toes landed, her mind suddenly received a sharp pain like walking on the tip of a knife.
what happened?
The cold sweat fell like rain in an instant, and her hand grabbed the street tree, her round and beautiful nails, and pinched it deeply into the bark.
A black car slowly stopped beside her, and the woman in high heels walked up to her and frowned and asked, "Are you uncomfortable?"
Zhao Xiaokui's vision was a bit blurred, but he still recognized Shen Zhifei.
She follows me?
Before this thought flashed in her mind and plunged into darkness, she said: "Don't... go to the hospital!"
