56 Weird Oceanarium (Thirteen)

◎It’s the soft touch, the gentle sound, and the subtle fragrance of conditioner◎

The giant jellyfish is sinking down. The tentacles of the mechanical jellyfish have a strong sense of technology, making it look very much like a submarine.

The little shepherd fish can move freely among the tentacles of the jellyfish, so Lin Xiaofeng should be inside the body of the giant jellyfish.

But Zhu Ning couldn't see her, so it was very likely that she had become invisible.

Time is running out. The helmet shows that Zhu Ning has been in the deep sea for six minutes, while the Grey Eagle Team and Chu Ling are still resisting outside.

Faced with this situation, the solution that best suits her abilities is for Zhu Ning to enter the giant jellyfish, so that the distance between her and the jellyfish is negative, and then use the absolute control of her metal manipulation talent.

But Zhu Ning did not choose this method, not because she was afraid that the people at the cleaning center would see it, but because she felt that it might not be useful.

This polluted area is very strange. It is completely different from the old polluted areas that Zhu Ning has encountered. It is a man-made polluted area.

Fresh, contaminated areas that were created within an hour.

Zhu Ning had just approached the Yongsheng Pharmaceutical Foundation and hadn't yet found anything valuable when something unexpected happened at the Mechanical Oceanarium.

If the person who did all this was the curator, how did Bao Ruiming do it?

She took a quick glance and saw that all the tourists had turned into dense jellyfish people. The jellyfish person closest to Zhu Ning had its head and tentacles wriggling.

From a visual point of view, it is impossible to tell whether Lin Xiaofeng's parents are inside.

Zhu Ning was still thinking when he suddenly realized a problem.

These jellyfish people seemed... a little closer to her.

Is it an illusion?

Zhu Ning took a step back silently.

This time it was even more obvious. They moved silently and pressed forward in such dense masses that even advancing half a meter made people feel creepy.

This is not the deep sea, it is an exhibition hall with glass behind it.

What's wrong? Are you going to crush me to death?

think.

Zhu Ning thought that this was very close to the truth.

She found out part of the truth in the curator's office, and the real truth must be under the water.

Zhu Ning ignored the mechanical jellyfish around her. With her talent for metal manipulation, she could make sure that the thing was two meters away from her. She swam to the glass wall and touched the edge.

There are no tourists outside this glass wall, only darkness, as if everything has settled and is no longer visible to anyone.

Zhu Ning's hands were pressed against the glass wall.

It was just like when Lin Xiaofeng put his hand on the glass wall, except that Lin Xiaofeng was outside and Zhu Ning was inside.

Zhu Ning was trying to understand Lin Xiaofeng's feelings.

Zhu Ning faced the glass wall, and suddenly, she felt her right shoulder sink.

There was a hand on her, and she could see the person's reflection on the glass wall. Judging from the reflection, there was no one behind her.

Invisible man.

Then came the second hand, and both hands came around and hugged Zhu Ning's neck.

Zhu Ning didn't move because his feet were wrapped around him next.

She was hugged from behind, with someone's legs wrapped around her waist and his hands around her neck.

She was carrying a transparent person on her back.

The water waves are swaying, the transparent glass walls are reflecting light, and the helmet's panel system is refracting light.

Zhu Ning finally saw a human face, a blurry face outlined in the water, her chin resting on Zhu Ning's shoulder.

"Sister——" a little girl's voice.

Is she calling herself?

The jellyfish man next to it was swimming, its tentacles seemed very excited, and the speed of its twitching was getting faster and faster.

An oversized mechanical jellyfish lowered its tentacles from the sky, each tentacle was one and a half meters wide, and was constantly wriggling behind Zhu Ning.

The tentacles of thousands of jellyfish people were twitching slightly. They looked like a man-made spectacle, but now they looked more like prey, ready to hunt at any time and anywhere.

The jellyfish has its own symbiotic partner, the small herder fish is responsible for attracting prey, and the jellyfish is responsible for hunting.

Now Zhu Ning has been caught by the invisible man, and the jellyfish behind him is preparing to hunt.

Zhu Ning was already considered brave, but he couldn't help feeling a little scared at this time. This fear was completely different from his previous fears.

The seabed, the giant, the tentacles, are like monsters from the world of Cthulhu. Once swept away, people will have no power to fight back, and all struggles will be in vain.

It's like something from another dimension.

【Spirit value is decreasing】

[Decreased by 5 percent]

[Decreased by 10 percent]

[Decreased by 15 percent]

Since Zhu Ning gained more and more experience in entering the contaminated area, the amount of spirit value she lost each time was getting less and less. Except for the last time when she used her metal manipulation talent beyond her level, she had not lost so much spirit value in a long time.

Even when the other party did nothing.

The jellyfish people only showed themselves. They just showed up in front of Zhu Ning. The huge panic came over them, making people feel suffocated.

The tentacles of the jellyfish gushed out like a ball of ink. Zhu Ning felt the hand on his neck tightening, and the two legs behind him tightly clamped Zhu Ning's waist.

The force used was so great that it seemed like an iron clamp was trying to break Zhu Ning in half.

The scary thing was that Zhu Ning didn't move at all after seeing this scene. It wasn't that she didn't want to move, but there was a voice deep inside her that kept shouting: It's useless.

It's useless.

Faced with such a behemoth, humans' biggest reaction is fear, fear that they are actually peeping at such a mysterious creature.

The body's blood oxygen level is decreasing

Heart rate is increasing

[Please ask the cleaner Zhu Ning to escape as soon as possible]

Prometheus's cold voice sounded as if a ruthless killer was speaking into his ear.

Zhu Ning felt a little suffocated, as Prometheus's male voice and the system's mechanical female voice mixed together.

She couldn't tell who was reminding her.

There was a sharp pain in her head, as if there was a needle lurking in her brain, and it suddenly pricked her.

[Please... Chila, quickly... Chila... escape]

What causes the formation of polluted areas?

Zhu Ning knew it was Lin Xiaofeng, but what should be the original source of this logic?

That time with Yu Ren, it was because Yu Ren was waiting for the last bus, but he couldn't wait for it. He kept muttering about the last bus and thought he had missed it.

Wang Ming had a mental breakdown because he killed his boss and couldn't face the fact that he had committed murder.

There is a popular saying now that after radiation, everyone is a potential contaminant.

The world has gone crazy a long time ago. The world has become a giant mental hospital. The only difference is who goes crazy first.

As long as a person's mind is unstable, he or she can easily become a pollutant.

How did the curator know that Lin Xiaofeng would have a mental breakdown today?

Zhu Ning stretched out her hands and tightly grasped the arm wrapped around her neck. The invisible man's ability is huge strength, and once he is locked, it is difficult to shake him.

Zhu Ning used all his strength with both hands, but his already injured right arm could not withstand such high intensity of force and felt a sharp pain.

Severe pain makes people sober.

Zhu Ning grabbed the arm on his neck tightly and finally got a moment to breathe. The hand pressing on his throat was slightly raised by a millimeter.

This millimeter gave people some breathing space, and Zhu Ning blurted out: "Lin Xiaofeng!"

The invisible man lying on her back was stunned for a moment.

"Are you willing?"

Zhu Ning's second sentence was not to beg for mercy, nor to ask about Lin Xiaofeng's past. What she asked was, are you willing?

Lin Xiaofeng was stunned. Zhu Ning forcibly pulled her arm away by about two centimeters, but she didn't react at all.

The ten-year-old girl has been raised by her parents as a vase to make money since she was a child. She actually has a very simple mind.

Zhu Ning took a deep breath. The tentacles behind her were still wriggling. She didn't dare to look at the thing and stared at its reflection on the glass wall, where there was only a vague outline.

Zhu Ning: "Are you willing to spend the rest of your life with this thing?"

Are you willing to accept this? For the first ten years, you couldn't decide your own appearance, forced to smile innocently.

A little girl, only ten years old, is trapped forever in the depths of an oceanarium. Will she spend the rest of her life surrounded by mechanical jellyfish and thousands of other jellyfish people?

The tentacles behind her slowed down. They were clearly right behind Zhu Ning, but now they seemed hesitant and formed a chaotic mass behind her.

Zhu Ning took a breath and said, "You've known Bao Ruiming for a long time, right?"

The Mechanical Jellyfish Museum is a famous online celebrity museum. It is so popular that tourists have to rush to buy tickets in the early morning and can only get tickets for three months later. That is why Lin Xiaofeng's father seizes every opportunity to take pictures. If he misses this time, there will be no chance.

Zhu Ning: "He gave you the ticket."

Bao Ruiming must make all this happen at the right time. Lin Xiaofeng must enter the mechanical jellyfish museum within the specified time. He may have promised Lin Xiaofeng that he will become famous this time.

Lin Xiaofeng has lived her life for only one purpose since she was born, and that is to fulfill her parents' wishes.

She numbly accepted five genetic drug modifications, but her account showed no improvement. Every time she posted something, it was drowned in the flood of information.

They will look for the next hot spot and chase the next interesting thing. No one stays on Lin Xiaofeng's account for long.

She lived her whole life for this one thing, but she could never achieve her wish.

Bao Ruiming followed her that day. Lin Xiaofeng looked at his social media account homepage and saw that he was the director of the Mechanical Oceanarium.

Curator, there has never been anyone of this level among her followers.

Bao Ruiming said that he is a fan of Baby Xiaofeng, and their mechanical jellyfish museum needs a spokesperson. Lin Xiaofeng's simple and harmless image is very consistent with the mechanical jellyfish, and he hopes to plan a marketing campaign with Lin Xiaofeng.

Bao Ruiming promised her that she would have a miracle and become the only protagonist in the spotlight.

He did it.

Lin Xiaofeng appeared in the mechanical jellyfish museum, and when he put his hand on it, it really attracted thousands of jellyfish.

The mechanical jellyfish seemed to have come to pay homage. Lin Xiaofeng could hear the sounds of countless cameras clicking and flashes flashing.

People around were sighing, and a series of positive adjectives such as warm, healing, and beautiful appeared in the mouths of tourists.

Her father was very excited. If it weren't for what happened later, she would have become a hot topic as her father expected.

By then, the entire Federation will see this news, the amazing sight of the mechanical jellyfish and the little girl.

But something unexpected happened later. Something else suddenly appeared in the water, and a transparent human face appeared behind the glass wall.

The Invisible Man pushed down hard, and the glass wall collapsed, then drowned everyone in the Mechanical Jellyfish Pavilion.

She still remembers that when the accident happened, her mother Su Qingqing's first reaction was to pick her up and leave.

Lin Xiaofeng was held in her mother's arms, staring blankly at everything.

Although Su Qingqing is weak and dares not go against her husband's wishes, she is the only one who cares about Lin Xiaofeng.

Su Qingqing would pay attention to whether Lin Xiaofeng had eaten enough and whether she was happy today. Before going to bed at night, she would walk into her bedroom and hug her and chat for an hour.

She could recall Su Qingqing's soft touch, gentle voice, and the faint scent of conditioner on her body.

Her mother is a domestic-type android, and the underlying logic of her gene editing is obedience.

Obey your master, serve your family, and take care of your children.

This was her genetic code; she had no choice even from the moment she was created.

Do people out there really know what a horror story is?

The horror story is not about ghosts in the world, but about living with a person who is scarier than ghosts.

Lin Tianqi's mood is changeable, but he never hits people. To outsiders, he is even a good husband and father.

But his negative emotions were always there. He always sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, and asked Lin Xiaofeng and Su Qingqing to come over at regular times to reflect on their mistakes.

"Are you wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

"Reflect on yourself."

Lin Xiaofeng and Su Qingqing are in this state anytime and anywhere. The first thing they do when they open their eyes is to reflect on what they have done wrong.

They were afraid of any move of Lin Tianqi, a slight cough, or a sudden sigh.

This is the real horror story.

Under the high-pressure "rule" of her father, her mother rarely gave her something similar to "love".

Many people are discussing whether artificial humans can love? Do they have human emotions? Is the ability to love bestowed upon them by their creator?

They themselves are just inferior tools who are incapable of love.

But Lin Xiaofeng felt that there was love, there really was love, she had experienced it.

Warm.

It’s the soft touch, the gentle sound, the subtle scent of conditioner.

It’s mom.

Su Qingqing once said: "How about we run away?"

"It's just the two of us. I'll take you away."

Lin Xiaofeng forgot how she answered, but she remembered Su Qingqing's expression. There was a rare hint of color in her eyes, which was the yearning for freedom.

Her mother planned to escape, and she even wanted to take Lin Xiaofeng with her.

But they had no money. Lin Xiaofeng thought that as long as she could become famous and her family had money, maybe she could change the current situation.

As long as she becomes famous, it's fine.

When Su Qingqing heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

He encouraged her like he had done countless times before, "Okay, our Xiaofeng will definitely become famous."

Lin Xiaofeng had long felt that she was a transparent person, and she could not see her true self when she looked in the mirror.

Who else in this world can "see" her? That person is Su Qingqing. She can see Lin Xiaofeng's soul through this fake skin - assuming that the descendants of artificial humans really have souls.

But everything collapsed.

Behind the collapsed glass wall, the sea water flooded everything and they were soon separated by the sea.

When she came to her senses again, Lin Xiaofeng stood up from the ruins. The mechanical jellyfish was freed from the glass wall and swam gently around her feet.

The lights in the entire mechanical oceanarium flickered, and it seemed as if there were people walking around. They had no shape, and left ripples when walking in the water.

Lin Xiaofeng didn't have time to pay attention to those things because there were corpses of all kinds all around.

Their bodies were soaked in water, their faces swollen and distorted due to drowning.

The tourists who had praised her before were now dead, but she still remembered that they had praised her for her good looks.

She has suffered so much over the years, and all she wants is praise and everyone's attention.

But at that moment, she knew that this was not what she wanted.

"Mother?"

Lin Xiaofeng stood in the puddle in her wet red dress, looking around in confusion.

Finally, Su Qingqing was found in the crowd. There was a body swaying gently against the glass wall. She was lying upside down, and her head hit the glass wall again and again with the waves.

Lin Xiaofeng immediately recognized that it was his mother. She was wearing black pants and a sea-blue sweatshirt with a mechanical jellyfish printed on it.

Su Qingqing had just picked it out before leaving because she was going to visit the mechanical jellyfish museum.

She also said: "If Xiaofeng becomes famous, I can't hold you back."

Lin Xiaofeng turned over the corpse and found it was indeed Su Qingqing. The mechanical jellyfish pattern on her chest had been wet and did not look cute at all.

Su Qingqing's face was swollen and something was crawling in her mouth.

The tentacles of the mechanical jellyfish drilled into Su Qingqing's mouth, and she looked up with wide eyes.

"Mother?"

There was no soft skin anymore, and the blistered skin was swollen.

There was no faint fragrance anymore, only the smell of blood.

The mechanical jellyfish lived in her heart, and its tentacles covered her chest. She was unable to answer any of Lin Xiaofeng's questions.

Mom died.

No more, nothing.

The polluted area broke out and a pollution source was formed here.

Lin Xiaofeng is the source of pollution.

In a sense, she was the one who harmed everyone here, so she hid, hiding behind the huge mechanical jellyfish, hidden among the safe tentacles.

She became a truly invisible person and no one could see her anymore.

Lin Xiaofeng lay on Zhu Ning's back. She became the master of this area, with abilities close to those of a creator.

Now Zhu Ning asked her if she was willing.

Is she willing to accept this? Is she willing to accept being treated like this?

"Are you here to kill me?" The little girl buried her head in Zhu Ning's shoulder and asked softly.

Unseen by Zhu Ning, Lin Xiaofeng's arm tightened, like a knife against her neck. She waited for Zhu Ning to strike, ready to crush her neck if she showed even the slightest sign of killing intent.

This cleaner was at the end of her rope. Her helmet was cracked and her right hand was injured. She couldn't survive more than three seconds in Lin Xiaofeng's hands.

"I'm not here to kill you," Zhu Ning said calmly, "I'm here to save you."
