Chapter 455: The Growth God of the Sea and the Little Pearl (37)
After the night dive into the archaeological research room, there was no news of the theft of the mermaid fossil for several days.
However, it is not a good time to announce anything at this juncture, after all, people have just experienced a scam about "mermaids".
If they were to say this now, and the 'mermaid fossil' that served as proof was lost, they would definitely be criticized by netizens.
Even so, Ruan Guannan still couldn't feel at ease.
She planned to take Amo back to Yuxi Village.
But just as the two arrived, a piece of news suddenly exploded the Internet again.
Ruan Guannan clenched his phone tightly, his eyes full of shock and anger.
why?
Why are there so many?
On the mobile page, there is a hot topic with extremely high popularity.
#A large number of mermaid fossils were discovered in a fishing village near the sea.
#Mermaid burial sacrifice is no longer a legend!
When this news broke, people thought it was another prank from somewhere and were ready to criticize.
But when I looked at the source of the news, it turned out to be the official account of the Institute of Archaeology.
The incident started with the discovery of an ancient tomb in the coastal area.
Judging from the specifications of the tomb, it should be the tomb of an ancient emperor from thousands of years ago.
There are quite a few imperial tombs discovered over the years, so it shouldn't have caused such a sensation.
The strange thing is that after in-depth excavation and research by archaeologists, a large number of murals about "mermaid burial and emperor's eternal life" were found in the main tomb chamber.
If this is not enough to prove the existence of mermaids, then a large number of skeletons with human bodies and fish tails were found in a burial pit not far from the main tomb chamber.
They lay in the pit in all kinds of strange postures.
Even after thousands of years, their bones still look hard and sharp.
This discovery immediately caused a sensation in the entire archaeological community and soon attracted widespread attention and discussion in other fields.
At this time, a large number of mermaid fossils were discovered in several coastal fishing villages, including Yuxi Village.
These ancient fossils show that mermaids appeared even earlier than humans.
But maybe something happened later and he suddenly faded out of people's sight.
Until now, people have regarded mermaids as fairy tale characters.
The announcement of this fact now is enough to prove that mermaids really exist!
Some experts and scholars even predict that the reappearance of mermaids may bring about a major change in humanity that will be enough to sustain its foundation.
After all, many strange stories have mentioned that mermaids have long lives and powerful self-healing abilities.
If we can conduct in-depth research, we might make some great discoveries.
The whole society was once again shocked by this news, and everyone started to raise the banner of "Searching for Mermaids".
One by one, both public and private, they began a long search in the vast ocean.
Xuan Mo stood on the beach, looking at the fleet that had just set sail. His eyes were full of calmness and no emotion could be seen.
Ruan Guannan unconsciously closed his palms and clenched his big hand tightly.
She opened her mouth, her voice a little hoarse, "Amo..."
Xuan Mo came back to his senses, turned his head and looked at her gently, "Hmm?"
“Will they find out?”
Xuan Mo withdrew his gaze and looked back at the sea with a calm expression. Suddenly, he inexplicably brought up a new topic.
"Little Pearl, humans do have great talents and an endless desire to explore."
Ruan Guannan didn't understand for a moment, Xuan Mo said calmly:
"Have you forgotten what my major is?"
Ruan Guannan certainly didn't forget, and whispered softly: "Marine Engineering..."
Her expression changed slightly and her eyes were fixed on him.
Xuan Mo had no choice but to raise their clasped hands to his lips, kissed the back of her fair hand a few times, and whispered:
"Will do."
Ruan Guannan's pupils shrank suddenly, and she knew that he was answering her previous question.
You will find out...
With what Xuan Mo has learned over such a long period of time, he has a sufficient understanding of human technology and methods.
He has been on land for so many years and has read many books about humans.
He couldn't help but sigh, if humans were really as weak as they looked, how could they have occupied a high-quality living environment for thousands of years?
Their bodies may be fragile, but their unique wisdom can make them invincible.
Xuan Mo turned his head to look at the girl beside him, helplessly stretched out his hand to rub her tightly knitted brows, and whispered:
“I might have to go back.”
Ruan Guannan's heart tightened involuntarily, and he stared at him straight in the eyes, "It won't be dangerous, right?"
Xuan Mo lowered his eyes and looked at her, his voice steady and powerful, "No, I'm still waiting to take you back."
Ruan Guannan said seriously: "Come on now, I'll go with you."
If it had been before, when Xuan Mo heard her say this, he would probably have jumped into the water and swam a few laps to calm his excited and restless emotions.
But now he can't.
Xuan Mo looked helpless, staring at Ruan Guannan with eyes as deep and gentle as water, and said in a loud voice:
"No, I haven't proposed yet. I always pay attention to the sense of ceremony."
Ruan Guannan knew that he would not agree.
Xuan Mo's voice was full of light-hearted teasing, and Ruan Guannan's tense nerves relaxed a lot.
She tightened her big hands, her pretty face full of seriousness, and earnestly warned:
"Amo, come back to see me soon, or I will be worried."
"Ah."
Xuan Mo's brows relaxed, his eyes softened, "I know."
*
After Xuan Mo left, Ruan Guannan felt unusually confused.
Now the news about 'mermaids' is everywhere and everyone knows about their existence.
Ruan Guannan does not yet have the ability to make everyone lose their memory.
She couldn't help with what was happening at sea, and 999 couldn't be contacted.
As people explored the mermaids, Ruan Guannan felt that he was increasingly restricted in this world.
Whether it is Marina or stealing the mermaid fossils, Ruan Guannan is trying his best to prevent the secret of the existence of mermaids from being known to humans.
But even if we stop this time, there will always be other things popping up.
It was as if there was a hand behind her, pushing the secret of the mermaid tribe to be exposed, making her feel a little powerless.
Just as Ruan Guannan was getting more and more impatient, 999's long-lost voice suddenly came to his mind.
【Host...Host?】
It was rare to see it so anxious, and the voice it called her in was tentative.
Ruan Guannan was shocked and almost shouted out in surprise.
【Huang 99, can you come out again? 】
Since coming to this world, the two of them have hardly had much time to communicate normally.
Ruan Guannan didn't even know that he actually missed it so much.
999 was slightly shocked when he heard Ruan Guannan's response. A blank expression appeared on his furry face.
[Ah? I don’t know either.]
[I just suddenly felt that the restrictions of this world on me seemed to be less severe.]
After hearing its explanation, the smile on Ruan Guannan's face paused, and his excitement also subsided a lot.
She was silent for a moment, her voice a little solemn.
[You said before that with the revival of Amo Sea God's power, he has increasingly restricted foreign objects in this world.]
[You can come out now, doesn't that mean that something happened to Ah Mo? ]
999 scratched the hair on his face and said belatedly: [Yes. ]
Ruan Guannan couldn't help but show a trace of anxiety on his face, and urged:
[Forget it, can you find out what happened to Ah Mo? ]
999 doesn't move.
Ruan Guannan narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly noticed something strange in 999's attitude.
[In the past, whenever it came to the male protagonist's fate, you were more proactive than anyone else and pushed me to take action right away.]
[Now, A-Mo is about to reach the end of the collapse plot, why don't you look anxious at all? 】
999 paused scratching its face with its claws, and Ruan Guannan miraculously saw a hint of panic in its bean-sized eyes.
She had a bad feeling in her heart and said sternly: [999, tell me!]
It was the first time that 999 felt such a heavy sense of oppression from the host.
After struggling for a long time, he tentatively suggested in a low voice:
[Host, this world is a bit complicated and not suitable for us to participate in. ]
[We have already completed so many missions, so this one won't be a big deal. How about we leave here? ]
Ruan Guannan clenched his hands tightly, his face solemn, [What's the reason? ]
Thinking of something, 999 couldn't help but look anxious.
[The reason is that if we don’t leave now, we may have a hard time leaving. ]
Ruan Guannan said nothing, waiting for its answer.
Seeing that she had no intention of wavering, 999 clenched his hands, tilted his neck back and drank it all in one gulp without caring.
[Host, after the Heavenly Dao consciousness of this world wipes out the gods that should not exist, the barriers of the world will be strengthened, and this world will not allow any outsiders to leave or stay.]
【So we must retreat quickly before He takes action! 】
Ruan Guannan was shocked. Kill...God?
No wonder...
No wonder she always felt that no matter how hard she tried to cover it up, it was useless. It turned out that it was the world's consciousness of heaven that was causing trouble.
It was ridiculous that she once thought that as long as she sent Marina away and stole the mermaid fossil, she could keep the secret of the mermaid's existence.
Unexpectedly, more fossils emerged later.
Whether it is Marina or the fossil, they are just pawns pushed forward by the mastermind behind the scenes.
A pawn that pushes the mermaids to the forefront and thus destroys the 'god' behind them.
If you destroy one chess piece like this, there may be countless more waiting to explode.
One by one, they are pushing Amo towards the predetermined ending that has been set for him by Heaven.
After the huge shock, Ruan Guannan felt a sense of calm as if everything had settled.
[So it seems that in the original plot, the sea god and Marina returned to the sea and lived happily together, which was also a false happy ending set for him by the heaven? ]
How can today's civilized society allow a god with unlimited power to exist?
Moreover, his existence also has an impact on the only world with dominant power, the Way of Heaven.
So no matter whether the male protagonist collapses or not, he can only go towards the path of collapse ending.
Ruan Guannan finally figured it out, but after that, she felt even more depressed.
