Chapter 184 World Seven [13]
The beginning of the movie is quite normal, with interactions between researchers and a discussion of the progress of the project.
The research base is built on the seabed, and the relevant subject is naturally the study of seabed life. It is obvious that the female protagonist is a researcher, responsible for deep-sea animal research, and her daily routine is to search for undiscovered mysterious creatures in the deep sea.
Hard work pays off. After the heroine's persistent exploration for two years, she finally discovered a huge mysterious creature.
Afterwards, the heroine's daily life became the study and observation of the mysterious creature. After discovering that the other party could transmit signals of specific fluctuation values, she became obsessed with deciphering them and tried to communicate with the mysterious creature.
It was not until halfway through the film that Huo Yi realized that something was wrong with what was being shown on the big screen. This was not the kind of love story between two top students that he had expected, but rather a love story between a researcher and a mysterious deep-sea creature.
The true appearance of the mysterious creature is not revealed in the film, but from the heroine's perspective, the other party looks similar to a mermaid, with scales on its body, hair as thick as seaweed, and obvious muscle lines on its body.
Because of mysterious reasons, deep-sea monsters sometimes look like females and sometimes look like males.
Putting aside the logic in the film, when the director chose another protagonist, he definitely chose according to the appearance. Whether it is a male monster or a female monster, there is a kind of bewitching beauty.
"Are they good-looking?" Jing Ke narrowed her eyes slightly after noticing the surprise on Huo Yi's face.
It's just that she uses makeup skills to make herself look more attractive to humans, and she can do this very easily.
"Hmm?" Huo Yi, who was immersed in the plot, was stunned for a moment. He took out a piece of popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth, crunching it. "Not bad?"
"Really?" Jing Ke's expression was very calm.
"The director chose a good angle, and the makeup artist on the crew is also very skilled. When you add the two together, as long as your facial features are good, you won't be that ugly." Huo Yi immediately made up for it.
Jing Ke hummed softly, "It seems that people nowadays are very strong-minded and are willing to accept humans and monsters being together."
"It depends on the situation. If it's an irrational monster, I don't think anyone would like it. Humans will most likely use those monsters to achieve their own goals, and the so-called relationship between them is more like that of a breeder and a pet, rather than a partner." Huo Yi said.
At the same time, I began to analyze seriously, "The deep-sea creatures in the film should be able to emit brain waves that control people's thoughts, so the heroine has that kind of hallucination-like feeling."
"You seem quite experienced?" Jing Ke reached out and grabbed three popcorns, stuffing them into his mouth one by one. He asked vaguely, "Have you encountered similar creatures before?"
"There is a copy of the aquarium. We need to play the role of tourists and visit all the exhibition areas within three days, and choose three of them for friendly interactions." Huo Yi said in a low voice.
"Less than one-third of the animals in the exhibition hall are normal. I saw many magical combinations in that copy." Huo Yi said.
It’s just that those magical combinations have nothing to do with the word “beauty”. Their main feature is to reduce the sanity value drastically, and their appearance has nothing to do with beauty.
The film's ending is also very consistent with the title, with the heroine's abnormal behavior being discovered by her companions. After realizing that the deep-sea monster can in turn control humans with brain waves, the relevant agencies decided to eliminate it without a second thought.
The powerful ammunition created huge waves in the deep sea. The heroine jumped in without hesitation despite her companions' attempts to stop her.
The film has an open ending. The last scene is the golden vertical pupils opening at the bottom of the sea, which indirectly announces that the monster did not die in the explosion.
It is indeed a love story under the sea. The story takes place under the sea and it is also a love story under the sea, which is worthy of the name.
Overall, today's experience was pretty good. Huo Yi and Jing Ke came back after having lunch outside. After taking a shower, they lay down on a bed very calmly.
Jing Ke didn't make any extra movements. She just closed her eyes and hugged Huo Yi.
Huo Yi's lips moved slightly, but after hearing Jing Ke's steady breathing, he silently swallowed back what he wanted to say.
-
The next day passed uneventfully, and it was the third day before the deadline.
Huo Yi did not receive a call from his father, which meant that Huo Cheng had no intention of admitting his mistake.
After ruling out one possibility, Huo Yi began to pay attention to his own safety. He asked his errand boy to do the shopping for him and stayed at home for three meals a day.
Jing Ke felt that Huo Yi didn't need to trap himself to protect an ordinary person. "If I can't even protect my girlfriend, then I'm a little too incompetent, right?"
"It's not entirely to avoid Huo Cheng. The more he can't find a way to deal with me, the more tense his mental state will become. Maybe by then I won't even need to find his faults on purpose." Huo Yi said.
"Are you too bored? Do you want to play a game with me?" Huo Yi asked, turning his head.
Compared to the deep-sea monster that can only create illusions and construct beautiful dreams, Jing Ke has too many advantages.
So many people who have seen the movie like the deep-sea monsters. As a normal person, it is reasonable for me to like a dungeon boss like Jing Ke.
"Okay." Jing Ke agreed immediately.
Since the girlfriend wasn't hiding simply out of fear, there was no need for her to do anything unnecessary.
It is better to avenge yourself, which is more conducive to physical and mental happiness.
-
On the other side, Huo Cheng, who had come up with a lot of ways to kill and silence people, was in the same condition as Huo Yi had guessed, becoming more and more nervous as time passed.
He even considered killing Mr. Huo in the sanatorium, so that he could get at least a quarter of the family property, instead of being forced to leave the house after Huo Yi reported his affairs to Mr. Huo.
Fortunately, Huo Cheng was not stupid enough to give up the relatively careful opportunity and choose to commit the crime in the heat of the moment.
"Remember, you will have a chance to take action no matter what. For such an important matter, father will definitely let Huo Yi come and ask her in person. I want you to create an accident on the way Huo Yi comes, do you understand?" Huo Cheng said with a gloomy face.
Huo Cheng looked at the five people in front of him and said, "I have already taken care of the surveillance on the road section. It was broken when it rained a few days ago. There will be coincidental traffic accidents before and after. You have enough time to fake the scene."
"Don't worry, Mr. Huo. We will not give you up even if we don't get things done for you if you pay us. We understand the rules of the underworld, so don't worry." The leader said with a smile.
He is just a rich man. When they are at the peak of their power, even people working in government buildings cannot do anything to them. They can control anyone they want.
"I have transferred five million to the account you provided. Once the death is confirmed, the remaining fifteen million will be immediately credited to the account," Huo Cheng said.
It was impossible for him to take the initiative to admit his mistake to the old man. At this point, this was the only way for him to get out of this situation unscathed.
Huo Yi must die, so that he will be the only heir to the Huo family company. As long as the old man is still in his mind, he will not think of doing anything to himself.
"Don't worry, Mr. Huo. We have arranged two groups of people. Nothing will go wrong." The leading man assured. After confirming that the five million had been received, he stood up and left with his men.
Not long after they left, Huo Cheng's cell phone rang. When he saw that the caller was his mother, a trace of disgust flashed in Huo Cheng's eyes, and he hung up the phone without thinking.
After setting it to silent mode, Huo Cheng lit a cigarette, leaned back on the sofa, and smoked a whole pack one after another.
-
On the fourth day, Huo Yi took the printed evidence and went out with Jing Ke after breakfast.
The sanatorium is quite far from Huo Yi's residence. Although they are in the same city, one is in the east and the other is in the west. Even if you take the elevated road, it takes more than an hour to get there.
Huo Yi checked the engine and brakes before starting the car. After making sure there were no problems, he inserted the key and started the car.
"If I'm not mistaken, Huo Cheng should have prepared a little surprise for us on the road, so let's drive to a place with better roadside scenery today."
Huo Yi added an additional explanation, "It's not that I think you can't protect me, I just don't want to waste my time with useless people."
This reason convinced Jing Ke very well and made her give up the idea of helping to clean up the garbage.
However, the people that Huo Cheng hired at a high price this time seemed to be quite reliable. Even though Huo Yi did not set out according to the expected route, they still caught up with him and found an opportunity to attack him.
"Jing Ke, sit tight." Huo Yi turned his head and gave a warning, then he accelerated forward and passed the traffic light at the last second of the yellow light at a speed that made the traffic police sister's heart beat faster.
The pursuer above ran a red light without thinking and chased after him, wanting to crash directly into Huo Yi's parking space and force the other car to stop.
If this had happened before entering the dungeon world, Huo Yi might have revealed his flaws and been caught by them.
But Huo Yi had encountered too many more dangerous and exciting things before. She had even entered a copy of a car race. At that time, Huo Yi had not only been overtaken, but also had been caught off guard by bombs and slime monsters that covered the car windows.
Compared to everything I experienced in the dungeon, these people's methods were nothing but a drop in the bucket.
With a perfectly timed drift, the car behind him, unable to brake in time, crashed into the green belt. The airbags deployed, knocking the driver and passenger unconscious.
There were three cars causing trouble. After dealing with the first one, Huo Yi showed no mercy to the two cars behind.
In order to prevent them from changing their minds and calming down halfway, Huo Yi even took the initiative to wait for the traffic light, giving them a chance to catch up.
The original eighty-minute drive took Huo Yi only fifty-six minutes to reach his destination after a thrilling chase.
With a brake, Huo Yi parked the car smoothly in the parking space.
"Jing Ke, we're here." Huo Yi said, his eyes falling on a private sanatorium whose layout was somewhat similar to that of a hospital.
After realizing that he was not relieved but felt that it was not satisfying enough, Huo Yi's guess hidden in his heart was confirmed.
After going through so much, it's still difficult to return to normal life. It seems that this world is not where I belong. Maybe becoming an administrator is a good ending.
-
Huo Yi, who arrived at the room half an hour earlier, made Huo Cheng, who was pretending to be a filial son in front of the hospital bed, look obviously flustered.
For the experienced Mr. Huo, after seeing the expression on his son's face, he knew that the things he was unwilling to accept were all true.
"Dad." Huo Yi shouted, his tone unusually calm.
Huo Yi had no special feelings for his father, who remarried three years after his mother's unexpected death.
Although I was already pregnant when my stepmother came, I didn't suffer any injustice when my own mother was alive, and I was not abused because of my stepmother.
It’s just that the relationship between some fathers and daughters is destined to be thin, like the relationship between them.
"Well, I know everything. You don't need to say more." Father Huo exhaled. "I will change my will and leave all the company shares to you. I will leave three houses and some cash to your aunt. Everything else is yours."
"Dad——" Huo Cheng was unwilling to accept such an outcome.
"Huo Cheng, your sister has already given you a chance. Since you are unwilling to correct yourself, then go to prison and reform yourself." Father Huo said and closed his eyes.
"For attempted murder, there will be no death penalty. You will just have to serve ten to twenty years in prison. After you get out, you will have to rely on yourself." Although Mr. Huo's body is not in good condition, his mind is still clear.
When my daughter and son have reached this point, neither of them will look back, and there is no chance to turn back.
Giving up his daughter or giving up his son, making this choice is not a difficult thing for Mr. Huo.
"Dad, I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I just didn't think it through at the moment." Huo Cheng said, trying to make his father change his mind.
Huo Cheng thought he had a clean record and that as long as Huo Yi didn't take the initiative to pursue him, the matter could be resolved.
"Take the man out and send him directly to the police. Try to get him lenient." Mr. Huo still had his eyes closed. Even though he could only hear the voices, he could still harden his heart.
Huo Yi didn't comment on this and just watched the bodyguard take Huo Cheng away.
"Xiao Yi, who is this?" Father Huo opened his eyes and his gaze fell on Jing Ke, who seemed to have an unusual identity.
"My girlfriend, Jing Ke." Huo Yi said, "I came here with Jing Ke this time because I wanted her to meet the elders of my family."
"Hello, Uncle Huo." Jing Ke greeted him.
A hint of surprise flashed in Mr. Huo's eyes. If he was still healthy, he would have stopped it after hearing the news.
But Mr. Huo doesn’t have many years left to live. If he doesn’t rest quietly, he might not even survive a year.
"Is it settled?" asked Mr. Huo.
Huo Yi nodded, "Yes, it's settled."
After a brief silence, Mr. Huo continued to ask, "When are you going to hold the wedding?"
Huo Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, then shook his head, "We have no plans for formalities for now. Our relationship will not change just because of a wedding."
Mr. Huo opened his mouth, spilled a byte of words, and then swallowed back what he wanted to say.
"You're not a child anymore, and we haven't seen each other much since we became adults. I won't say any more unnecessary words. I don't have much left for your aunt, and I hope that when you have the energy to do so, you won't let her be bullied."
Huo's father: "I will arrange for someone to send Huo Cheng to prison. If he can't change his temper after he gets out, then I will tell him not to meet your aunt."
Mr. Huo has feelings for his wife who left him unexpectedly, and he also has feelings for his second wife who has been with him for more than 20 years.
Huo Yi didn't think this was a difficult request, so he nodded in agreement.
"At the company, I'd like to arrange for you to be the executive president as soon as possible. If you have any questions, you can call me and I will ask the vice president and the general assistant to cooperate with you." Mr. Huo was not sure how to get along with his daughter, whom he didn't contact much, so he simply explained the business.
Huo Yi nodded in agreement one by one. The Huo family's company was built by her parents with their hard work. Since it was left to her, she would do her best.
Apart from introducing herself, Jing Ke didn't say much. She just sat next to Huo Yi, mainly to keep him company.
There were four people in the ward, Jing Ke, Huo Yi, Huo's father, and Huo's father's personal assistant who was also a part-time notary lawyer for wills.
Half an hour later, Mr. Huo had said almost everything he needed to say.
Huo Yi did not stay long. After leaving a daughter's good wishes for her father's health, he and Jing Ke left the sanatorium hand in hand.
-
"The reason why I can persist in the copy world is because I don't want to die in vain and give away things that belong to me to others." Huo Yi said with a hint of melancholy in his tone.
"I've imagined countless times what I would do after returning to this world. I have many extreme ideas, such as killing my enemies with my own hands, knocking Huo Cheng away, and then letting my father evaluate my behavior."
"But after I came back, I found that my hatred for Huo Cheng wasn't that deep. There always seemed to be a thin film between me and these people I used to be familiar with."
"It seems like there's no distance between them and me, but because of the film, the air between us is different, like we're in two completely different worlds."
Huo Yi sighed, "Jing Ke, do you think this world is different from the copy world you are in?"
"For me, there's probably only a slight difference." Jing Ke said, holding Huo Yi's hand tightly.
It is normal to feel empty inside when something that has been weighing on your mind for three or four years is resolved within three or four days.
What you need to do is not to comfort, but to take advantage of the opportunity and fill this emptiness with your existence.
"What's the difference?" Huo Yi turned his head to look at Jing Ke.
"This is the world you have lived in for twenty-seven years, and you have only lived in the copy world for more than three years." Jing Ke said truthfully.
Huo Yi smiled after hearing this, "Jing Ke, if someone else said these words, I would just think that they were trying to trick me and confuse me with some sweet words."
"I was the one who said this." Jing Ke stated the facts.
"Yes, so I think this is true and I am very moved." Huo Yi also explained the facts.
"Would you like a hug?" Jing Ke raised his other hand.
Huo Yi did not respond, but threw himself into Jing Ke's arms and buried his head in the crook of his neck.
"Jing Ke, I want to go and see where you live." Huo Yi said in a muffled voice.
"Now?" Jing Ke asked.
"Well, now." Huo Yi said.
Huo Yi said he wanted to go back at this time, so there was no need to ask or say more about some things.
The double bathtub in Jing Ke’s bathroom came in handy. The bathtub was indeed very large, more than enough for two people to take a bath together without having to worry about turning over.
Don’t think too much. The two people in the bathroom were just taking a shower. For the first formal communication, it’s better to lie down on the bed and take it slowly.
Huo Yi has always been single, but she has rich theoretical experience and a strong physique that allows her to put her theoretical experience into practice perfectly.
Jing Ke was very tolerant and allowed Huo Yi to do whatever he wanted.
Because Jing Ke knew very well that the two of them had an almost eternal future, so there was no need to worry about temporary gains and losses.
After seeing the super boss in the copy world being defeated by him in a very special way, Huo Yi felt his adrenaline starting to surge.
"Can we do it again?" Huo Yi followed his inner desire and asked this question.
"Okay." Jing Ke, feeling comfortable but not tired, answered.
Huo Yi continued, and by the time she felt her heart become full again, it was already evening.
Huo Yi was very satisfied mentally, but her stomach began to protest and growled twice.
"Take a shower and then go to the safe zone to eat?" Jing Ke asked, still feeling comfortable and not tired.
As the super boss of the dungeon world, Jing Ke felt that she was quite impressive. After all, she could really do it for seven days and seven nights without getting tired.
"Well, let's go eat hotpot." Huo Yi rubbed his wrist calmly.
"Okay." Jing Ke pretended that he saw nothing.
"Can we call Xiaolu to come along?" Huo Yi asked, his eyes falling on Jing Ke's neck.
The fair neck was now covered with tiny marks, all of which were his own work, which reminded Huo Yi of his friend's shocking remarks before.
Who was pushed aside by whom? Xiaolu should be able to tell it this time, right?
"It's all right." Jing Ke, who was in a good mood, didn't mind his girlfriend sharing his joy.
-
When the three met in the safe zone, Xiaolu and Huo Yi were as expected, their jaws dropped in shock, and it took them a while to close their glasses manually.
"Huo Yi, you are really good. You actually defeated the dean!" While Jing Ke went to the condiments counter, Xiaolu gave him a thumbs up to express her admiration.
"That's it, we get along pretty well." Huo Yi said reservedly.
"So, have you remembered whether you were the dean's former lover?" Xiaolu asked in a low voice. She still felt that her guess was reliable.
Huo Yi raised an eyebrow and handed Xiaolu a piece of lettuce with his chopsticks. "You should read less safe zone novels. Even if I give you a backdoor, you'll still have to clear it sixty-six times."
After the words fell, Xiaolu wailed and Huo Yi's mouth corners slightly raised.
If there is no danger of dying at any time in the copy world, then living here seems to be a good choice.
At least Jing Ke is here, so it won’t be boring, right?
