According to Lao Bai, all things have spirits, and every living thing has its own way of communication. To understand the other party's language requires extremely high talent, which is destined to be the exclusive preserve of only a small number of people. However, at present, human beings

We are still unable to decipher these biological codes on a large scale.

There is no doubt that among the creatures in the boundless ocean and the sands of the Ganges River, dolphins are considered the most intelligent, and their language is also the most complex!

At Lao Bai's current level, it is difficult to fully understand the language of dolphins. This creature can not only communicate simply, but can also give each other nicknames and even name other creatures in the ocean.

Moreover, dolphin language is spoken in dialects and languages!!

Dolphins in the Pacific cannot understand what dolphins in the Atlantic say, just like Chinese people cannot understand Westerners. This needs to be learned!

At the beginning, Lao Bai just heard that Shunzi's roar sounded like dolphin language, so he directly stopped my master and knocked him out.

In fact, he didn't understand what the other party said, and it took time to decipher it by combining many animal words.

As for the cry he made when he comforted Shunzi, it was actually very simple, it was the dolphin making the child sleep!

Although dolphins seem to be swimming all the time, as if they are never tired, in fact, they also need to rest, but only half of their brains are resting when they sleep, and the other half is in a state of excitement, alternating with each other, which can not only ensure sleep, but also

Guard against enemies.

Anyone who knows this creature knows that dolphins are extremely emotional and take care of their offspring in a way that is similar to that of humans. When its offspring need to rest, it will make the kind of sound that Lao Bai makes.

Just like the tune we hum when putting our children to sleep, it doesn't need to have any specific meaning, just that tune can make the child drowsy!

"The animal language spoken by Shunzi is 90% similar to the language of dolphins, but it is more mature and tends to be the language of intelligent species..."

Lao Bai sighed and was still busy. It seemed that this was an extremely laborious task. He looked a little tired and said softly: "If there is nothing else, you can go out first. I need a relatively quiet environment and enough time to decipher these.

Bestiality."

We knew nothing about this aspect and couldn't help him much. We could only cooperate fully. After hearing what he said, everyone in the fish cabin left in one fell swoop.

After arriving on the deck, the crew dispersed to rest. Old One Eye was among them. He found a sheltered corner on the deck with a torn cotton jacket under his arm and was about to sleep when he saw my master waving to him from the bow of the ship.

, hesitated for a moment, and finally came over.

My master got straight to the point and asked directly: "Isn't this the first time this has happened to Shunzi?"

Old One Eye drooped his head, nodded instinctively, and then shook his head.

When Brother Yaozi saw this, he handed him a cigarette.

Old One-Eye squatted on the deck and smoked desperately. The butt of his cigarette flickered and went out. In the smoke, his face was shrouded in thick shadows. He didn't know what this incident reminded him of. He was obviously only forty or fifty years old, but his body was full of...

There was an air of waning twilight, and it wasn't until he finished smoking a whole cigarette that the butt of the cigarette began to burn, emitting bursts of unpleasant smell, that he noticed the heat between his fingers, his whole body trembled, and he hurriedly threw away the cigarette butt.

My master asked again.

Old One-Eye then said that similar situations had happened before, but this was the first time it was so weird.

The abnormality on Shunzi's body is very likely to be the key to unlocking the secrets of District 17. My master was very concerned about this and asked Brother Yaozi to give a whole pack of cigarettes to Old One-eye, telling him not to be impatient and speak slowly,

No matter how big or small you are, you can't let it go.

Old One-Eye was obviously not a good talker. He spoke intermittently, and it was unclear whether he accidentally or deliberately revealed the huge secret of the Hai Gang.

He told us that the Hai Gang may seem mysterious, but in fact it is not difficult to find. They are scattered in the coastal area of ​​Quanzhou Port in the form of small fishing villages. The village chief is the middle-level manager of the Hai Gang. Once something happens, the headquarters will issue orders to the village.

The chief, and then the village chief will convey it. The same is true when they report something. They are basically out of touch with the headquarters on weekdays. They live a life similar to that of ordinary fishermen. They also have to go out to fish to make money, and the income they earn is turned over directly.

They are then assigned by the headquarters. The only difference is that they will practice martial arts. After achieving some achievements, they will be taken away by the headquarters. It is said that they can learn more advanced skills, and nine out of ten will enter the level of cultivation.

Now the crew members on this boat are all from the same village, and so is Shunzi.

However, these people were born and raised in that village and have been in the village since childhood, while Shunzi was an outsider.

Back then, after Shunzi escaped from death in District 17, he was taken away by the Hai Gang headquarters. He was treated and questioned for several years until it was confirmed that Shunzi was of no use, and he was thrown away.

When we arrived at Old One-Eye's village, we asked the villagers to take care of him. We never talked to him again after that. It wasn't until we brought up the incident in District 17 that this forgotten person was remembered again.

"But they don't know that what happened in District 17 was not recorded in Shunzi's mind at all, but on him!!"

Old One-Eye sneered: "They didn't find the right method at all!!"

According to what Old One Eye said, Shunzi's other problems will only be exposed when he sees the sea water!!

When Shunzi arrived in their village, she was already a teenager. When she reached the age of working, she was naturally taken to the boat by Old One Eye and the others.

As a result, less than a day after the fishing boat went to sea, Shunzi began to behave strangely, lost appetite, and turned around when seeing the cooked meals. At first, Lao Duyan and the others thought that Shunzi was just going to sea for the first time.

I wasn't used to it, so I didn't pay much attention to it. That night happened to be the time when Old One-eye was on duty. When he was passing by the fish cabin, he suddenly heard a series of strange rustling sounds coming from the fish cabin. Old One-eye thought something had happened.

He got into the fish cabin with a flashlight.

I saw Shunzi squatting among the baskets of frozen dead fish and rotten shrimps, holding a raw fish in his hand and eating it until his mouth was covered with blood. His smile was particularly weird and ferocious, and he didn't like the light.

As soon as the flashlight shone on him, he immediately flew into a rage, pounced on him and bit the old one-eye.

"He was...much scarier than this time! This time he was just unconscious at most, but that time he looked like a monster. The teeth in his mouth were all sharp, and he had scars on his body.

A kind of tiny black and blue scales appeared!!"

Old One Eye recalled the situation at that time, fear still flashed across his face, and then he said: "But at that time, he was still a young man, and his strength had not yet grown up. Why is he so fierce now? Although I am blind.

Eye, but it was not something he could knock down, so I pinned him down with three strikes, five divided by two."

After saying this, Old One Eye lowered his head and sighed: "At that time, I didn't think about killing him with a knife. How could he look like a human being like this? Living is suffering, and it would be better to die. But I raised the knife,

After all, I couldn't do it. It was just a child. I also have a child the same size as him. How could I do it?

I also knew that if I took him out directly, according to the rules of the sea gang, this kind of monster would be burned to death, so I secretly hid it, found a rope, tied him up, took him away and hid it.

At that time, I saw that his face was covered with ice and bruises, and he was pitifully panicked, so I wiped his body with hot water. As a result, the next day, he was fine, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

After going out to sea several times, I gradually discovered a pattern. The strange things happening to him seemed to be related to the sea. He would be fine on land, but once he got to the sea, things immediately started to change."

The fire could not be contained, and Shunzi's problem was finally discovered by other people in the village.

However, at that time, Shunzi had been living in the village for a long time, and the people's hearts were full of flesh. The villagers really wanted to burn Shunzi to death, but they couldn't do it, so they all gathered together without telling the village chief.

, Shunzi will not be allowed to go to sea.

In addition, Old One-Eye also discovered a lot.

For example, when Shunzi is sitting on the beach, the waves crashing onto the beach will become particularly fierce.

Also, when the fish in the water saw him, they seemed to be dumbfounded and even reached out to catch them without even knowing how to escape.

"I think the strangeness on Shunzi's body may be related to the thing that attacked him in District 17. I even say that these characteristics are the characteristics of that thing."

Old One Eye said calmly: "It has black and blue scales on its body. It doesn't like light and likes cold environments. It can control the sea water and frighten fish schools...Mr. Zhang, you have seen a lot. What do you think this is?"

"I'm not from the sea gang, so I don't know much about these things in the sea."

My master smiled and said: "You look calm and very sure. You must have already known it in your mind. Why do you need to ask me?"

Old One-Eye sighed deeply and slowly uttered two words: "Shark Man!!"

"Have you ever seen a shark?"

Zhang Xinya asked with great interest and said: "This kind of thing is recorded in many ancient books, and many people have even seen it with their own eyes, but scientists must say that people are dazzled and mistake dugongs for sharks."

"If you want to hide something, why bother?"

The old one-eyed man sneered: "I have never seen a living shark, but one year when we were anchored and resting on an isolated island, there was a shriveled corpse on the shore. It was a fish-tailed body. Although it was rotten beyond recognition, it was still a manatee.

Wouldn’t it be possible for me, a person who has been in the sea for half my life, to recognize him?”

He also said that no one had ever seen a living shark, and no one knew whether it was as powerful as the legend, but the characteristics shown by Shunzi made him have to think this way.

"So, do you think District 17 might actually be a shark's nest?"

My master smiled, then changed the topic and asked: "So, the Hai Gang headquarters actually knows nothing about Shunzi's situation?!"

"After they left him here, they never asked him again. Where do you know he's going?"

Old One-Eye said: "And this child has lived with us for such a long time. If we tell them, they still don't know how to deal with this child..."

"Then this doesn't make sense!"

Brother Yaozi suddenly said: "According to what you said, if you want Shunzi to return to normal, just soak him in hot water. The things on his body come from the sharks. The sharks don't like heat. Once you soak in the hot water, those things will be gone."

I'm tired, I can't control Shunzi anymore. In that case, why did you come to my uncle? You want to show Shunzi's secret in front of my uncle in this way, right? But you said, you

It was not recommended that Shunzi go to sea before. Was this for the purpose of protecting him? With all due respect, wouldn’t it be more beneficial to you if you concealed all this? In this way, we know nothing about District 17.

Even after I went there, I couldn't find the doorway and finally returned without success. Isn't this the best outcome for you, Shunzi, and all the crew members?"

The face of the old one-eyed man changed from dark to red. After a while, he finally managed to say: "Mr. Zhang is a capable person."

Then, he added: "When they found us, I did say that Shunzi shouldn't come, but before I could explain, they said that if there were any discoveries during this trip, or if we tried our best, even if we ended up

If we don't go back, our child will be sent to the headquarters. This... is so rare! I don't want my son to be like me, sitting in the village all his life and being the lowest member of the sea gang, making money, right?

We have to do all the hard work, become disabled, and get less money every day, and then one day people will get unhappy and kick us out to death!"

Old One-eye said these words almost through gritted teeth, with a flash of shame in his eyes.

In this case, it makes sense.

He resented the Hai Gang and held a grudge against the Hai Gang for what he did. However, he did not resist or defect. He just hoped that his children would go one step further and become the kind of person he hated.

Does he have feelings for Shunzi?

There should be!

He even thought about protecting Shunzi, but when it came to his son's interests, neither his life nor Shunzi's was important.

So, he pushed Shunzi out and stopped hiding these secrets. He hoped that we would gain something from this trip, and that it would be his child's future.

When he came to see my master tonight, he must have been conflicted in his heart, but in the end he made a decision.

It's very contradictory, but...this is human beings.

My master nodded and didn't say anything more about what Old One Eye did. Old One Eye secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He seemed to be afraid that my master would look down on him.

For a while, we didn't speak. We were secretly thinking about the clues and the amount of information in it. As for what Old One Eye was thinking, we didn't know.

One night passed like this.

When the sky turned white, a cheer suddenly erupted in the fish cabin, and then Lao Bai's voice came out: "I understand, I understand what Shunzi is talking about, this is a song!!"
