Chapter 84: Ark (three)
Ark learned from the discussions of the surrounding residents that the second-generation angel decided to visit the capital of Titan on a temporary basis. He was at the seaside at the time, so he did not know the news in advance, so he happened to meet them.
Maybe it should not be called the capital city now - after all, as one of the territories of the Noah star country, the capital of Titan has become the capital of Noah, but the aborigines of the planet are still used to this As the capital of a city, they are not very able to accept the fact that their country has changed.
In the majestic and majestic military music, the flamboyant giant floats slowly drove through the street, the blond second-generation angels smiled and waved in all directions, the curvature of their lips did not change too much from beginning to end Millimeter, as accurate as if it had been measured in advance.
Although they made smiles, Arke, who is also an angel, knew that they did not have any emotions, and they would smile only if the occasion required them to smile.
The same is true for the residents standing in the buildings on both sides of the street. Many of them hate the "Ark Angel", but they still have to force a smile to welcome these intruders.
Witnessing all this, Alke suddenly felt a little sad. He didn't like to see those performances of imaginary and venomous snakes, nor hatred and fear, but he was one of the murderers who caused this scene, Titan Star Captured by Noah helplessly, he has inescapable responsibilities and sins.
The second generation of angels and Ark passed by, and the float finally went to the distance, but the long queue was not over yet, and then several huge transport vehicles drove over, holding up to There are several meters of large water tanks, each of which has a merman locked in it.
These mermaids are beautiful, but they look haggard. Most of them are quietly curled up at the bottom of the water tank, motionless, completely lost their vitality.
"Who are they?"
, Seeing the mermaid in the tank, his eyes widened.
"Don't come out."
Alke's heart tightened, and he immediately carried the little mermaid back into the box to prevent him from being seen. I look alike and have tails, are they my family?"
“…I don’t think so.”
After a moment of silence, Alke shook his head. Almost all people related to the royal family have been killed. The little mermaid should be alive without any relatives.
But he still accidentally let the little mermaid see his clan, which made him worry about whether the little mermaid would want to find his clan, if the little mermaid really wanted to leave, He may not have the heart to stop him, but what he is most afraid of is that the little mermaid will be caught as a plaything like the mermaid in the water tank in the future, and he will not be able to escape the tragic fate in his life.
"I want to see them again."
The little mermaid blinked her round eyes and acted coquettishly at Ark. Seeing that he didn't seem to see that the mermaids were imprisoned, he nodded his head and used the The big bath towel wrapped the little mermaid from head to toe, only showing two eyes, and carried him to the window.
The transporter carrying the mermaid water tank is about to go away, the little mermaid watched without blinking, a little eager to say hello to those mermaids, but still held back.
"Boom!"
At the same time, he let out an ear-piercing, frantic scream, scratching his face with blood dripping with his long nails.
His abnormality also caused a commotion among the other mermaids, and soon all the mermaids began to hit the tank with their tails. The water tank was covered, but everyone could still hear the crashing sound inside.
"Don't look!"
As early as when the adult fish hit the water tank with its head, Alke immediately covered the little mermaid's eyes to prevent him from seeing the **** scene below.
The little mermaid was frightened by the screams that followed. He was trembling all over. He, but until the parade left, the little mermaid was still trembling, and there were tears in his eyes.
"He's saying he wants to go out..."
The little mermaid grabbed Alke's shirt tightly and said to him pleadingly: "He didn't stay in it voluntarily, he was locked up, can we save him, uh , Brother Alke..."
The young mermaid was crying, Ark patted his back, showing a distressed expression, but he could not make any promises to the little mermaid.
In danger, he cannot put others in danger in order to save them.
The little mermaid fell asleep crying, Ark put him in the box, took him out of the hotel quietly, and returned to the temporary base.
However, at night, the little mermaid suddenly had a fever, probably because of being frightened, he held his tail and trembled, his whole body was very hot, Alke was anxious and fed the little mermaid medicine, He also found ice water to wipe his body over and over again, keeping the little mermaid awake all night.
It wasn't until the high temperature slowly subsided that Alke finally breathed a sigh of relief, drank a little water, and then ate something. In order to take care of the little mermaid that night, he didn't even drink water, and stayed with him. Stay close to the little mermaid.
"Brother Alke..."
The little mermaid with her blushing red face was placed in the incubator, her eyes opened a gap, she sniffed the tip of her nose, and looked at Ark outside the box with grievance and sadness, her tears melted. into the water.
Despite his weakness, he still patted the wall of the box, wanting Alke to hug him, Alke fished him out of the water, held him wetly in his arms, and kept stroking Touching his hair, he whispered to reassure him, "I'm right here."
The little mermaid stretched out her hand and hugged his wrist tightly, and refused to let go after saying anything. She cried and whispered, "I had a terrible nightmare just now... "
Something happened."
"But you were not by my side in the dream..." The little mermaid choked and said, "I have grown up in the dream, although we were still together at that time, but you seemed to be very busy, always Will leave me, I can only be by myself."
"The pool is very big, I can move freely, but I can't leave this pool, there are many terrible people watching me, they won't let me go, and later gave me a lot of water Bitter thing, I kept vomiting blood after I drank it, and you didn't show up until I was about to die."
"I still call you 'Ark Angel' in my dream, not your brother, that you look a little strange, not the same as now..."
Alke was stunned for a moment.
He could already hear that the nightmare described by the little mermaid was the scene of Ji Ning's death. Ji Ning was discovered by Noah Star Country as a spy, because he was poisoned and sentenced to death. By then it was too late, and he could only watch the mermaid die in his arms.
Why did the little mermaid dream of the scene at that time?
He should know nothing.
The heart of the white-haired angel was turbulent and the pupils contracted slightly, but the little mermaid in his arms was still very weak, talking so much consumes a lot of his physical strength, he has already curled up into a ball and fell asleep, sleeping Shi Du held Alke's hand and murmured uneasily in the dream.
"Don't leave me..."
“…”
Alke hugged the small body of the mermaid, lowered his eyes, a touch of red appeared at the end of his eyes, showing an expression that he was about to cry.
He didn't dare to think any more.
But he had to figure out what was going on.
…
The red-haired man's mission ended, and he returned to Titan to visit Alke and the little mermaid. Alke trusted him and told him what he had encountered.
"So you're saying that the child dreamed of what happened to Ji Ning before?"
The man opened his mouth and showed an incredulous expression: "How is it possible? He is not Ji Ning, how could he know what happened in the past?" Didn't you ask for more details?"
"...He doesn't remember." Ark's eyes showed mixed emotions, he slowly shook his head, and whispered, "After his fever subsided, he no longer remembers seeing those mermaids. , and I have no memory of my own nightmares."
"So..."
The red-haired man rubbed his chin, showing a thoughtful look: "Could it have something to do with what kind of stimulation he saw in his family? But no matter what the cause is, the strangest thing is Yes, how could he dream about Ji Ning? Before he was born, Ji Ning was obviously gone, and there is no possibility of memory sharing."
He paused, then continued: "And I have long felt strange, although the growth rate of the mermaid is very fast, but his speed is much faster than the ordinary mermaid, it may be us I don't know enough about the companion eggs, there may be some secrets hidden here..."
"Let's do it!" He tapped the palm of his hand and made a neat decision, "I want to infiltrate the mermaid and find out what is going on with the companion eggs. It happened that I recently learned about mermaids. As long as I cooperate with the secret medicine to become a mermaid, I can get close to them."
"Fergie..." Alke was at a loss, shook his head and said, "I can't trouble you anymore, you've done a lot for me..."
"
But anyway, Alke is very grateful to Fergie, since he was rescued by Fergie, he has really taken care of him a lot, and he has given him very little in return.
"It's good that you know." The red-haired man hummed, "When the children grow up, you must come out and do tasks with me and make me a lot of money!"
As an experienced mercenary, his ability is unquestionable. With his proficient mermaid language and mermaid secret medicine, he quickly penetrated into the mermaid tribe smoothly and obtained them trust and asked them about companion eggs.
"What's next, listen to me, Alke."
After a period of time, the red-haired man returned to the land, and immediately returned to the base without stopping, his expression full of jokes became a lot more serious, and said seriously.
"The companion egg is so rare that even most mermaids don't know about it. This is a secret I asked an elder of the mermaid tribe. Although it sounds incredible, I think it should be true."
He glanced at the little mermaid sleeping in the water tank. The little guy grew up very fast, and now he looks like a child of eight or nine years old.
"Whether it's a dream about the past, or his growth rate different from the normal mermaid, it's the most powerful proof."
He lowered his voice unconsciously and opened his mouth slowly.
"The mermaid elder told me that the companion eggs are symbiotic with the soul of the mermaid..."
"Even if you die, as long as the fire of the soul does not go out, one day it will be reborn because of love and longing."
"I think I have to take back what I said at the beginning, he is Ji Ning, he is the reincarnation of Ji Ning."
"It was you, Alke, who brought him back to this world."
…
That night, Alke sat motionless beside the water tank, quietly watching the little mermaid sleeping in the water, sleepless all night.
His eyes slowly traced the mermaid's eyebrows, everything seemed to be just a dream, so beautiful that he couldn't believe it, his heart was beating, and there was a dense pain.
He felt heartache again.
However, this distress is different from before. It is the fear and pain caused by extreme joy.
Tears fell silently from the silver pupils.
The white-haired angel finally stood up, placed his palm lightly on the water tank, and placed a kiss on the transparent tank wall.
This time, let him teach his mermaid what "love" is.
…
Unconsciously, a whole year has passed since the birth of the little mermaid.
Emotions, but I don't want him to fully recover his memory, because his country, Titan, was destroyed after all, and he couldn't save it.
On the day of his birthday, the red-haired man spent a lot of effort to buy a very scarce birthday cake. Although he screamed in pain when he served the cake, he saw the mermaid's face. With a happy smile on his face, he scratched his hair, laughed too, took out another birthday candle and put it on the cake.
"Happy Birthday..."
Speaking, his face showed a strange look, because the mermaid sitting in the short water tank was already mature, with beautiful and charming eyebrows, exuding a tempting atmosphere , where is it like only one year old.
However, the way mermaids calculate their age is different from that of humans. They have a long lifespan, but they grow rapidly in their infancy. One year old is an adult, and juveniles grow faster than ordinary mermaids. Converted to human age, at least twenty years old.
"Thank you, Fergie."
The mermaid in the water tank squinted and made a wish with his eyes closed. Before blowing out the candle, he smiled and said to the other two: "Why don't you make a wish too?"
"Oh yeah."
The red-haired man happily agreed, closing his eyes and making a wish, and Ark did the same, speaking silently in his heart.
As an "Ark Angel", he had never heard of such a custom, but after integrating into the life of ordinary people, he gradually understood a lot and was willing to learn, because it would Make him feel more like a human being.
"What are your two wishes?"
After the wish was over, the red-haired man opened a bottle of wine and asked, "Of course my wish is to make money, make a lot of money, and I can't spend it all in my life!"
"I wish I could be with Alke forever." The merman said with a smile.
"What about me?" The man shouted in dissatisfaction, "Isn't me in your wish?"
"I don't care, but didn't you say that you still want to get married and have children?" The mermaid laughed, "With us forever, how can you still get married?"
"Uh..." The red-haired man was startled and muttered, "Just as friends..."
The mermaid smiled, but suddenly frowned, holding her forehead, showing an uncomfortable expression.
"What's the matter with you?"
Seeing this, Arke immediately stepped forward and supported the mermaid's arm, only to find that his cool skin was exuding bursts of warmth at the moment, and the mermaid's beautiful face also appeared gorgeous She was crimson, her eyes were stained with tears, her lips were slightly opened, and she was breathing lightly.
"I don't know..."
He looked at Alke, tears kept falling from his eyes, holding Alke's shirt: "But I'm so uncomfortable, Ark, I'm so uncomfortable..."
"Ah, shit..."
Seeing the mermaid sticking to Alke uncontrollably, and rubbing his cheek against Alke's palm, the red-haired man froze, suddenly widened his eyes, and muttered.
"Is he entering the breeding season?"
