Chapter 10 Chapter 9 Price

Bai Su and I looked at each other, held hands, and jumped into the sea together. There is another world in the sea, especially in the dark, it looks even more different. We followed Hong Ling in front, using the underwater propeller, to move forward effortlessly. Under the strong underwater lights, you can see the strange-shaped rocks in the sea and the creatures of various colors attached to the rocks. After passing through several caves, Hong Ling passed by without hesitation, and she kept in touch with us: "It's just ahead, after passing that big rock, it's very secret, if it wasn't so secret, I wouldn't go in Look, there will be no such thing as today."

I replied: "Today's event is very interesting, it is a good experience." Bai Su also said: "It seems like a century has passed since the last dive." Hong Ling always felt that she had done something wrong. After we said this, she was very happy and cheered a few times.Although the cheers came through the communication device, I could still feel her liking from the bottom of my heart. After a while, I turned around a big rock, and saw that the light was nowhere to be seen. A group of squid gathered near a large clump of seaweed in front of me. Under the light, the color of the squid's translucent body changed, which looked very strange.What's even more strange is that one of them is extremely huge, over one meter including its tentacles, and two of them are extremely long, reaching about two meters, constantly waving.

I know that there are examples of very large creatures in the sea, such as squid and cuttlefish, there are records of being as huge as exceeding ten meters. Hong Ling was at the front, and I immediately warned: "Be careful, there may be bigger ones behind, and they may attack us!" While speaking, not only was the big squid not afraid of the strong light, but it also quickly swam towards us, with its two long tentacles dancing endlessly, it actually swam all the way in front of Hong Ling.Although Hong Ling heard my warning, this situation still made her feel amused. She stretched out her hand to the big squid, and the long tentacles of the big squid immediately wrapped around her wrist.

This change happened so suddenly, I was taken aback, before I thought of how to deal with it, Bai Su's voice came: "Wan Liangsheng!" I was quick to react, but it took at least a second before I knew the reason why Bai Su suddenly called Wan Liangsheng's name at this time - she was reminding us: that big squid is Wan Liangsheng! This situation is really weird and unacceptable. But what happened next proved that Bai Su was right.That big squid is by no means an ordinary squid, of course it is more likely to be the incarnation of Wan Liangsheng.The squid can't speak, but its body language is very clear at this time.

Its two long tentacles, one wrapped around Hong Ling's wrist, and the other pointed straight ahead. And according to what Hong Ling later said, she said that the giant squid was so powerful that it literally dragged her forward.Later, of course, I also found out that the squid was indeed the incarnation of Wan Liangsheng. Both Hong Ling and I admired that Bai Su thought of this all at once. Seeing this situation at the time, everyone knew that the big squid was pointing the way, and the direction it was pointing was the entrance of a very narrow cave. Hong Ling naturally called out, "I know, it's that cave."

The big squid never let go of Hong Ling's wrist, we swam into that cave together.The entrance of the cave is very narrow, but once inside, the inside is very large. Under the light, the cylinder can be seen immediately. The cylinder is inserted in a very flat rock, only about ten centimeters exposed outside, it looks really strange. Hong Ling said: "When I came in last time, I saw this situation and thought it was strange, so I touched it, and it was easy to take out, so I took it away." Listening to Hong Ling talking about how she took the cylinder last time, I felt that something was wrong, and I immediately thought of what was wrong.I said: "Son, no, when you came in last time, you didn't have any diving equipment. Even though it was daytime, the cave should be completely dark, and you shouldn't be able to see anything."

When I said this, I thought that Hongya had an ability similar to "night vision" and she didn't know it. But Hong Ling heard it, and said "Ah", "Isn't that right, when I came last time, there seemed to be light on the rock next to the cylinder, but now there is no light." My heart moved: "I'm afraid this is the problem! When you put the cylinder back, you must not put it properly, so the light disappears. This must be very bad for Wan Liangsheng's body!" While speaking, we have come before the cylinder.Bai Su gestured towards the giant squid while observing the cylinder.The two big eyes of the giant squid are shining brightly, and a long tentacles are swaying towards the cylinder, and the tip of the tentacles is on the surface of the cylinder exposed to the rock.

Under the light, we can clearly see a shallow scratch on the plane, which we didn't notice before, and on the rock, there is also a similar scratch, two traces, about a few centimeters apart. The tentacle tips of the giant squid, after pointing to the notch on the cylinder, point to the notch on the rock. Although it was just a squid pointing with its tentacles, even if it was done by a human being, it couldn't be done better.Its meaning is clear: the two notches should line up! Bai Su and I understood this at the same time, so we reached out to turn the cylinder together in order to align the two notches, but it couldn't turn at all.

The squid's tentacles moved again at this time, but we didn't understand it for a while, and Hong Ling was the first to understand: "We should take them all out, and then put them in after aligning." She also added: "When I put it in last time, I just inserted it casually, and I didn't pay attention to how to put it in." Bai Su and I nodded, and together we slowly pulled the cylinder out from the rock, and it took a lot of effort. Then we carefully aligned the two notches and sent the cylinder into the rock.After the cylinder was taken out, there was a deep round hole in the rock, which was very smooth. When the light shone in, there was light shining in the deepest part of the hole, but it was not clear what it was.

When we put the cylinder back in, the two notches were right in line. First, the plane of the cylinder emitted light. Hong Ling exclaimed: "Yes, it was like this when I first came here!" As soon as she finished speaking, the light suddenly became very strong, I couldn't look at it directly, I knew immediately that something would happen, so I didn't have time to speak, so I grabbed Hong Ling and Bai Su one by one. At that moment, the sea water in the cave suddenly swirled rapidly, and we couldn't help spinning around with it. Immediately afterwards, the sea water was spinning rapidly, producing countless bubbles, and even with lights on, it became impossible to see anything clearly.In the chaos, I only felt a powerful force happening in the sea, which made the sea turbulent, and we kept tumbling in the sea, and it was impossible to even talk to each other.

Fortunately, it didn't take long, the sea water gradually calmed down, the bubbles disappeared, and the sight was restored. We first saw that the cylinder was gone! Only the round hole was left, and Hong Ling did not lose her childishness. In such a situation, her first attention was different from ours. She shouted: "The squid! The squid is gone!" Bai Su replied, "Wan Liangsheng's body is gone too!" I have already thought that the sudden tumbling of the sea water in the cave just now was obviously caused by the cylinder breaking away from the rock and being launched by a powerful force, just like the turbulence of the air caused by a rocket launch. That the cylinder can have such a change is really something we never imagined beforehand! Hong Ling hurriedly asked, "What should we do?" Bai Su said: "The squid is gone too, which proves that Wanliang Lord doesn't need our help anymore, we can go back." I thought so too, Hong Ling was a little reluctant, and later she said to Wen Baoyu: "It's obviously a squid, but it's also a person, it's really interesting." Wen Baoyu was very envious when he heard it. At the moment, according to my opinion, at least I want to explore what kind of tricks are in the depths of the round hole, but Bai Su stops me, she said: "Everything here is related to Wan Liangsheng's life, before we don't know the details at all , it’s better not to take any action.” I said: "But Wan Liangsheng is such a strange person, don't tell me we have never understood his details at all?" Hong Ling was very fatherly, and immediately echoed: "Yes! Yes!" Bai Su couldn't help laughing: "I think Wan Liangsheng will explain everything to us, please stay calm!" I have always been very convinced of Bai Su's predictions, but I never expected it to come true so quickly. At that time, after listening to Bai Su's words, I did nothing and left the cave. When we came near the yacht and floated on the water, we saw a person sitting on the deck of the yacht, drinking wine leisurely. When he saw us, he raised his wine glass and greeted us. Hong Ling and I yelled together: "Wan Liangsheng!" When we got on the boat, Wan Liangsheng (of course it was him) stood up politely. I stared at him. He looked exactly the same as he did many years ago. It can be seen that he will never age in that cylinder. I didn't know how many questions I wanted to ask him, so I couldn't speak for a while, but Wan Liangsheng spoke first, and he spoke to Hong Ling, saying: "It's Miss Wei, you almost made me lose my mind .” Hong Ling stuck out her tongue: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that I got into trouble unintentionally." Then Hong Ling walked around Wan Liangsheng a few times with great interest, and asked, "Did you change that big squid just now?" Wan Liangsheng answered very seriously: "I can't say that I 'changed', it's just my—" When he said this, he pointed to his own head: "My...thoughts have entered the squid—your father knows this situation, and I've become' a conch, which is exactly the same." We have already discussed the situation of Wan Liangsheng, so it is not too surprising to hear him say that at this time—it is indeed his thought group (soul) that can move freely. Hong Ling was even more interested, regardless of politeness, she asked again: "You can become... you can borrow the body of any creature, or even anyone?" I didn't stop Hong Ling from asking, because even if she didn't ask, I would. Wan Liangsheng took a breath, and looked at me and Bai Su: "I know I have to make things clear this time, otherwise Wesley won't let me go." I didn't deny it either, I just said, "It's easy to say, easy to say." Wan Liangsheng smiled: "I—the ability they gave me is just to move between my own body and certain types of creatures in the ocean. When my body was moved, it was not placed in the original position. The ability to return to my own body disappears. In a state of extreme panic, I struggled to enter a person's body, but everything... everything... I can't describe it. That's not me. If I don't leave soon, my thought group will dissipate and cease to exist." It can be heard that Wan Liangsheng has tried very hard to explain the situation. Although we can hear what he said clearly, it is difficult to really understand the situation.For example, what is meant by "the thought group will dissipate and cease to exist"?What kind of situation is that, I don't understand. Hong Ling's comprehension might be better than mine and Bai Su's, she nodded: "You can't become someone else at will." Wan Liangsheng shook his head and hands with a look of lingering fear: "How dare you, I tried it once, but I really have to try it. I'm almost out of my wits, and there will never be a second time." At this time, he used the ready-made description of "the soul flies away and the soul is scattered", which can make people think of what happened to the disappearance of the thought group. Hong Ling continued to ask: "Have you always lived as a human being?" - Wan Liangsheng showed a very cunning smile and nodded, obviously he was unwilling to elaborate on this aspect. Hong Ling didn't ask any further questions. I thought about it. Since Wan Liangsheng "disappeared", there have been many legends, but there has been no news of his reappearance. From this, it can be seen that he is acting as himself. At that time, the action must be extremely secretive - and he must be so, or the news will leak out, and his wife, the female tiger, will find out and catch him back, so he doesn't know what to do! Seeing Wan Liangsheng's spooky appearance, I knew I was right. We didn't ask any more questions, but he himself said something about the situation. He said: "I have arranged some money for myself, and I plan to use it after I really can't bear it. I didn't expect that I was lucky enough to meet Those people... are they... are they?" I answered his question: "It's aliens, a type of aliens with incredible abilities." Wan Liangsheng nodded: "I have always regarded them as gods, thinking that I was lucky enough to meet a fairy, just like the ancients had this kind of adventure." I didn't discuss the relationship between "fairy" and "alien" with him further, but Hong Ling had already asked: "Which type of marine life can your thought group enter and live as them?" Wan Liangsheng replied in a foreign language: "MOLLUSCA." I snorted: "This kind of creature already has a very appropriate Chinese name, called: Mollusc." Wan Liangsheng had a slightly coy look: "Yes, I know." At that time, I didn't think about why he had such an expression.I just thought that Wan Liangsheng could only change back and forth between humans and molluscs.In other words, his life form appears as both human and mollusk. He can be human or mollusk. This kind of identity can change between humans and mollusks, and of course it is also a kind of supernatural power. It should be regarded as an adventure for people on earth to have such supernatural powers. I also thought that the reason why he was a squid just now is that the squid belongs to the class of cephalopods in molluscs; he once appeared as a conch, which belongs to the class of gastropods; Shell class.In short, his thought group can enter the body of any mollusc, turning him into a mollusk. As for why it can only be a mollusk and not other creatures, the mystery of it may only be answered by that kind of alien. Of course, I can also make many assumptions. For example, Wan Liangsheng originally had mollusk life genes. For example, Wan Liangsheng said that he would rather be a conch at that time. Hong Ling was very envious of Wan Liangsheng's ability to turn into molluscs at will. She said to Bai Su and me, "Since we can turn into mollusks, theoretically, we should be able to turn into other creatures too!" I laughed: "Theoretically, it can be turned into anything - Sun Wukong was once turned into a temple!" At this time, I noticed that Bai Su's expression was very serious, and I felt that she had something to say.After waiting for a while, Bai Su slowly asked: "Mr. Wan, what is the price for that kind of aliens to give you such benefits?" The lights on the deck were not very bright, but Wan Liangsheng's face turned red all of a sudden. His expression was trying to hide his inner feelings, but the blood poured into his face uncontrollably. I don't understand why he has such a reaction to Bai Su's question, but seeing Bai Su's expression is more serious, as if he is judging Wan Liangsheng. But Bai Su's voice was still very soft: "Just now you said that you wanted to tell us the details." Wan Liangsheng was still blushing, changed his sitting posture a few times, and then said: "I... I... gave them half..." He faltered for a while, but didn't continue. Hong Ling was curious: "Half what? Half property?" Bai Su said coldly: "Aliens like gods, what's the use of wanting the property of the earthlings!" Hong Ling stared at Wan Liangsheng, Wan Liangsheng didn't make eye contact with her, and said, "Actually, it's nothing, I gave them half of my...thought...thought group." For a while, I couldn't turn my head around, and I couldn't understand what he meant by saying that in the first place. Seeing my blank expression, Bai Su reminded me: "He exchanged half of his soul for the ability to become a mollusk." I was stunned for a moment, but I still didn't understand the real meaning of Bai Su's words. Instead, I thought of the symbolic meaning very strangely, so my reaction was wrong, and I said: "Some people in the world betray Use your whole soul to be a mollusk!" Bai Su originally looked very serious, but he laughed when I said: "Where did you think! Mr. Wan really exchanged half of his soul for the ability to truly become a mollusc - this 'mollusk' 'It's not a literary description of a certain kind of person's behavior. The transfer of the soul is not symbolic, but half of his thought group was really taken away by someone." Bai Su explained it in detail. Although I understand it, I still have many questions: "How to take half of his soul? What's the use of aliens wanting half of his soul?" Bai Su raised his eyebrows: "I want to ask Mr. Wan to answer." Wan Liangsheng shook his head: "Don't ask me, I don't know. When they proposed this, I was eager to avoid it. Don't say they only want half of it, even if they want it all, I will agree!" Bai Su and Hong Ling, I, and I were very puzzled, but we also believed that what Wan Liangsheng said was true—he knew nothing about the behavior and purpose of aliens, and he agreed to them just to get what he needed. . Wan Liangsheng saw our expressions, and he said: "I really don't know, and they didn't tell me either—they only told me the method of switching thought groups between humans and molluscs, and warned me to put my The body device will automatically come in and out every time it is switched, don't touch it casually, last time Miss Wei took it away and put it back, I won't be able to enter my body." After listening to Wan Liangsheng's narration, I felt like the sky was spinning like clouds and fog, because it was so far from what would happen in real life!Although I have some weird experiences, I still need to try to stay calm at this time. I know that Wan Liangsheng's knowledge is limited, and to get all the answers, he needs that kind of alien to answer. However, whether I will have the chance to meet that kind of alien is completely unpredictable, so I have to keep the question in my heart. Hong Ling was very down-to-earth, she was asking questions that Wan Liangsheng could answer, she asked: "Half of your thought group has gone, how does it affect you?" At this time, Wan Liangsheng had completely lost the hesitation he had at the beginning, and he answered quickly: "They explained to me that people's minds are very broad, far beyond what people can imagine, just like the ocean, even if they have gone halfway. , the ocean is still the ocean. It’s like a big hole, halfway through, it’s still a big hole, you can’t say it’s just half a hole, so I don’t feel any impact at all.” He spoke convincingly, but I felt very vague—his statement was mysterious and mysterious, and it was not acceptable at once.And I have preconceived notions about the behavior of selling my thought group (soul) to others, which reminds me of the story of selling my soul to the devil. When a person sells his soul to the devil, although he gets something, he loses his soul and becomes a body manipulated by the devil. So selling one's soul is a very despicable thing for a human being. Although Wan Liangsheng claimed that he only sold half of his soul, and he also gave a very mysterious explanation for "half", can this change the fact that this behavior is despicable? And I think I also understand why Wan Liangsheng's attitude was so unnatural at the beginning, coy and hesitant, flushed for no reason, and deliberately said the word "mollus" in foreign language.All these situations only showed one point: he clearly knew that his behavior was despicable, so he tried his best to cover it up. I further thought that Wan Liangsheng was not only trying to cover up the despicableness of his behavior, but also the truth of the matter - half of his soul belonged to that kind of alien, and there must be corresponding consequences, but what he said had no effect ! I have always had no ill feeling towards any aliens, and I have always believed that aliens will not invade earthlings, but if aliens are interested in obtaining the souls of earthlings, it is not a good thing anyway. For one thing, being interested in human souls and wanting to acquire them is hard to understand as a friendly behavior.Secondly, I have a good understanding of human nature. People have a very fragile side to keep their souls. Under certain circumstances, people are not "easy to be tempted to sell their souls", but they are very willing to sell their souls automatically. So, if that kind of alien intends to take human souls, many people will lose their souls-or lose half like Wan Liangsheng. I can't believe that losing half would have no effect at all, although I don't know what effect it will have, but it's better if it doesn't happen. And conceptually only the devil buys people's souls! (If it is possible to assume that God is a superhuman alien, then of course it is also possible to assume that the devil is also a superhuman alien. Are those aliens devils? ) It's frustrating to see my thoughts go on and on without coming to any conclusions.Of course, it is also revealed in the expression.Bai Su held my hand at this time, she naturally knew what I was thinking, she whispered: "Try to accept that explanation." I frowned——Bai Su persuaded me to accept that explanation, of course she had already accepted it. I was looking for the reason why Bai Su accepted that explanation, and Hong Ling asked again at this time: "You mean, the kind of aliens say that the human mind... is 'infinity', even if it is divided by two, its value is not change, or infinity.” Hong Ling uses the mathematical "infinity" to understand that explanation, which is easier to understand than what Wan Liangsheng said just now. Wan Liangsheng hurriedly responded: "Exactly! Exactly! In terms of value, there is no change, so there is no impact." At this time, what I thought was that if the human mind is really infinite, then half of it (divided by 2) It is true that there is no change in the value, and it is acceptable to accept the explanation that there is no effect at all. However, what is the use of that kind of aliens wanting human thought groups, it must be used for research.However, since the complexity of human thought is infinite, that kind of aliens might not be able to figure out why. Thinking of this, the unpleasant feelings that I thought of just now dissipated a lot. Bai Su asked Wan Liangsheng: "It seems that you enjoy this kind of life that can live on both sea and land at the same time, and you don't need to disclose your strange and changeable identity. May I ask why you want to make all these things public?" tell us?" Wan Liang let out a long sigh of relief, as if it was difficult for him to say something, but Bai Su started it for him. He said: "After the crisis where I could hardly turn back into a human, I thought that many accidents could lead to the same crisis, and I don't want to take this risk again." I was so impatient with him talking in that way, I couldn't help but say, "Could you just talk more fucking!" Wan Liangsheng hurriedly said, "Good! Good!" Hong Ling clapped her hands and laughed: "Dad doesn't understand what he means? He means that he will stop being a mollusk and become a human again!"
