Chapter 34 Disappearing

Shen Dong didn't move after talking with Hong Jie. He sat in the duty room in a daze for more than an hour before he got up and stretched his legs.

It's finally coming, Shen Dong opened the drawer, looked at the several pairs of sound-proof earplugs in the drawer, and thought about it again, if this thing works, Yu Xiaojia wouldn't be a miracle.

He closed the drawer, looked at the time, and planned to discuss with Xiao Zhang about changing shifts at night.

As he was about to go out, he heard footsteps on the stairs outside.

Then I saw Xiao Zhang coming up with a bag of snacks. Some of them were brought back by him a few days ago, and some were probably brought by Xiao Zhang.

"Why are you here? I was looking for you." Shen Dong was a little surprised.

"You've been here for a long time, don't you know that the nightlife in the city just starts at ten o'clock?" Xiao Zhang put the snacks on the table, "No one can sleep at one or two o'clock, I'll come to chat with you, I usually talk to Uncle Chen when you're not around."

"Your night life is chatting." Shen Dong smiled.

"On this kind of deserted island, what's the point of not chatting? I want to go surfing. I'm afraid I'll choke if I can't see it." Xiao Zhang laughed, "What do you want from me?"

"You can watch for me all night today, and I will stand for you next time you are on duty."

"Okay," Xiao Zhang nodded without hesitation, "What's the matter?"

"I have a headache," Shen Dong didn't say that he wanted to have diarrhea. Today's dishes are cooked by himself. He has always been very clean in cooking. If Uncle Chen was cooking today, he might still be messed up. Chen Uncle is not particular, "I want to go back to the house and lie down for a while."

"Have a headache? Then call me early, go back and rest," Xiao Zhang walked to him, touched him with his arm, "I tell you, you haven't been on the island for a month, and you won't come back again." I got used to it, in the first few days when I first came to the island, apart from being on duty, I just spit on the rocks by the sea, and I was more depressed than a pregnant woman.”

Shen Dong was delighted, and walked out the door while saying: "The island is not on a boat, why would you vomit?"

"Then who knows, I'm probably too desperate for this place, thinking that I may have to stay here for a few years, I feel so sad that I want to vomit," Xiao Zhang sat in front of the computer and waved to him, "Go to sleep now."

"Thanks."

Shen Dong went back to his room and checked the time, it was just after ten o'clock.He stood in the room in a daze, not knowing whether he should prepare something, after thinking for a long time, he took an iron rod from behind the door and went out.

This iron rod has been placed behind the door for many years. When he first came to the island, he always felt that he and Uncle Chen were not at ease on such an island where no one came, but it turned out that no one really came to this island. The iron stick never had a chance to be used. The first time Cao Mu broke into the duty room, he used the stick once, not this one.

Holding a waterproof bag with clothes in one hand, and dragging an iron rod to swim is pretty stupid. Basically, you can only use one hand, mainly relying on your legs to kick.

However, Shen Dong has been on the island for the past few years, and he hasn't developed other skills. He is still much better than ordinary people in swimming underwater without picking his posture.

The moon is round and bright.

But the sea was dark.

Every time Shen Dong dived and swam underwater, he had to take the opportunity to take a breath to look at the direction.

He has never been to the island to the east, but he can know where it is based on the coordinates. It is three small islands away from them, and it is not easy to swim there.

Shen Dong has never been in the water at night, at most he just sits by the sea and enjoys the breeze.

Nothing could be seen in the pitch-black sea, which made Shen Dong feel a little inappropriate, especially after hearing about the underwater cemetery, he always felt that there was something in front of him that he couldn't see.

Shen Dong adjusted his mood, his wild thoughts affected his breath holding state while diving, and his swimming was obviously slower than before.

He collected himself and put aside all the messy things in his mind. The island was not far away, and he could already see the outline of the island.

He'll be there in another three or four minutes.

He took a breath, dived back into the sea, and swam quickly towards the front.

Not long after swimming, the water sliding over his body suddenly changed.

This kind of change is very small, if it wasn't for Shen Dong's calm diving training in the past few years, he wouldn't be able to feel this kind of change at all.

He suddenly became nervous, this is not the feeling when the waves are coming, this is...something is approaching him from the right rear very quickly!

Without hesitation, Shen Dong threw away the waterproof bag in his hand, and quickly turned his body in the water while holding the iron rod.

A shadow darker than sea water quickly approached him.

Shen Dong judged in the shortest time that this was not a creature in the sea, but a person wearing a diving suit.

Hold!He cursed fiercely in his heart, he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't know whose it belonged to, but he could tell from the fact that this person came quietly from behind, that this person didn't intend to do anything good .

Escaping is definitely impossible, and Shen Dong never thought of escaping, he is just a fool, and he will lie in ambush!

He couldn't see whether the man had a weapon in his hand. Although the iron rod was not a useful weapon in the water, he still held the iron rod tightly. It would definitely not work if he swung it out. He held the iron rod tightly with both hands and pointed it at the In the direction of the person, his legs kicked the water suddenly, and rushed towards the person.

That's right, poke the face!poke throat!

The black shadow stopped, and stretched out his hand that had been close to his side, as if he had taken something.

Shen Dong didn't see what was in his hand, only saw the thing in the man's hand emit a subtle light, like miniature lightning.

Shen Dong's heart sank suddenly.

Before he lost consciousness, he only had time to yell in his heart, high technology, electric baton!

Cao Mu stood on a protruding reef by the sea, facing the sea breeze, and under the moonlight, he could see a boat approaching slowly from a distance.

Qin Yi didn't know where he got the boat, it wasn't big, but it was bigger than the captain's, just enough to hold the things he brought, an ice coffin.

The ice coffin is completely transparent, and you can see the layers of ice that reflect the moonlight inside, and the silver fish tail inside the ice.

Hong Jie stood beside the ice coffin, without a blindfold, looking towards Xiang Dao.

"Is she incapable of becoming a human?" Cao Mu asked in the wind.

"Well, it has been like this for more than ten days, and I can't change it back." Qin Yu sat beside him, leaning on the rock behind him and replied.

"Can you still sing?"

"I don't know, but she doesn't speak anymore, doesn't sing, doesn't talk," Qin Yu raised his head and looked at Cao Mu, "You didn't lose your memory when you were with me?"

"No." Cao Mu replied very simply.

"The injection by Hong Jie still has this effect?" Qin Yu's voice was very low, and he looked very weak.

"do not know."

The boat quietly stopped at a place more than 20 meters away from the reef. There is no dock here, and there are many underwater reefs, so the boat cannot continue to approach.

Hong Jie jumped into the sea from the deck.

The ice coffin was tied with a rope and hoisted by a machine and slowly lowered from the side of the ship to the surface of the sea.

The heavy-looking ice coffin did not sink into the water, but floated quietly on the surface of the water. Hong Jie grabbed the rope at one end and slowly swam towards Cao Mu and the others.

Cao Mu took off his clothes and jumped into the water.

Qin Yu was a little surprised to see the waves brought up by his fast swimming. From entering the water to protruding out of the water beside the ice coffin, Cao Mu only took a few seconds, and Yu Xiaojia seemed to have never experienced such a speed.

Cao Mu didn't help Hong Jie drag the ice coffin, but just stretched out his hand to touch the ice coffin, and a chill spread all over his body through his hands.

Yu Xiaojia, who had been lying motionless in the ice all this time, hooked her tail, and a shimmering silver moonlight reflected from the fish tail.

She turned away slowly.

Cao Mu and her were still separated by thick ice coffins and ice cubes, but she could still see the silver teardrops sliding out of her eyes.

Cao Mu wanted to wipe away her tears with his hand, but Hong Jie said beside him, "Help me over there, Cao Xiaoyu, are you here to watch the fun?"

"En." Cao Mu stretched out his hand to grab the rope, and easily pulled the ice coffin to the edge of the reef.

"Just here," Hong Jie climbed onto the reef with his whole body in water, pulled out a knife from somewhere on his body, and cut off the rope on the ice coffin, "She won't be able to go ashore anyway."

"Where's my brother?" Qin Yu asked.

"It's a show, I want to let the boat come over, but I don't want to swim." Hong Jie touched the ice coffin, but he didn't know how to open it.

There was the sound of water from the boat, and a small inflatable boat was lowered into the water. Cao Mu saw a person jumping onto the boat from the deck.

He stared at the inexplicably familiar person, and it took him a long time to see his face clearly by the moonlight. He turned his head and stared at Qin Yu for a while in surprise: "Why do they look the same?"

"Twins are of course alike," Hong Jie smiled, "Do you know what twins are?"

"I've heard of it." Cao Mu turned around and stared at the person paddling over again. It turned out that they were twins.

This person looks very similar to Qin Yu, except that Qin Yu's face is paler and looks weaker than this person, there is no difference.

"How is it?" Qin Yi jumped up after approaching the reef, and the first sentence was directed at Qin Yu.

"It's okay." Qin Yu smiled.

"Open this." Cao Mu tapped lightly on the ice coffin.

Qin Yi touched Qin Yu's forehead, then frowned and took his hand to feel for his pulse.

"It's useless to touch," Hong Jie said aside, "Anyway, it won't last tonight."

Qin glanced at him, didn't speak, took out a small car key-like thing from his pocket and pressed it.

The ice coffin shook gently on the water surface, and the lid slowly opened without a sound.

A gust of white cold air floated out from inside, Yu Xiaojia lifted up her bloodless hand, supported the ice coffin, and sat up slowly.

The shards of ice slid off her body with a thin tinkling sound.

With some difficulty, she gently lay down on the edge of the coffin, raised her eyes to look at Cao Mu who was standing on the rock beside her, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and stretched out her hand to him: "Little Mumu."

Cao Mu knelt down and held her cold hand.

"I'm back," she said.

"Yes." Cao Mu nodded.

"I want to go to the water."

"it is good."

"She can't leave..." Qin Yi said beside him, but he didn't finish the rest of the sentence. Yu Xiaojia can't leave Bing, but this reminder is meaningless. He brought Yu Xiaojia here, and he didn't intend to take her back.

Hong Jie supported the ice coffin, Cao Mu carried Yu Xiaojia out of the ice, and slowly lowered her into the seawater.

"Really... good," Yu Xiaojia patted her tail lightly in the water and closed her eyes, "Goodbye."

Cao Mu was stunned, wondering why he suddenly said goodbye to his sister just now.

But before he could speak, bubbles began to appear in the sea water around Yu Xiaojia, and Yu Xiaojia's body also slowly sank into the sea water.

Cao Mu is very familiar with such bubbles, he can see them around him several times a day, he turns his head to look at Qin Yu and Qin Yi in surprise, doesn't it mean that he can no longer turn back into a human?

Qin Yi squatted beside Qin Yu without moving, and seemed to sigh: "I'm sorry."

"I still love you very much." Yu Xiaojia replied with her eyes closed, and then she slipped from Cao Mu's hand into the sea water.

At the moment of entering the water, the sea water seemed to be boiling. Countless bubbles rose up, jumped up, and burst on the sea surface, flashing a thin piece of silver light.

Cao Mu sensed that something was wrong, he had never seen such a bubble before, and he could feel a completely different content from the breath conveyed by the bubble.

It's farewell.

Qin Yu, who had been sitting on the shore without moving, began to cough, which was almost uncontrollable and unable to stop.

Qin Yi silently stretched out his arms to hug his shoulders, Qin Yu's thin shoulders trembled due to violent coughing, and finally grabbed Qin Yi's arm with great strength, I don't know if it was because of the pain or something else .

Qin Yi felt that the strength in Qin Yu's hand was about to break his own arm, he looked down at Qin Yu, Qin Yu's face had lost all color, and his lips were turning white.

"Qin Yu..." He wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything.

In order to keep his younger brother for so many years, he tried every means, even sacrificed Yu Xiaojia, and agreed to cooperate with Liang Feng crazy.

In the end, it still ended like this. Qin Yu's whole body had lost strength, and he was leaning softly in his arms, still coughing.

The sound of coughing was like a knife piercing his heart.

The air bubbles around Yu Xiaojia began to gradually decrease and fade away bit by bit.

The voice of Qin Yu's coughing also gradually decreased, turning into a heavy and laborious panting.

When the bubbles completely disappeared from the sea surface, Qin Yu suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and fell on Qin Yi's body.

Qin Yi looked down at the blood on his hand. Under the moonlight, the color of the blood made his last hope shattered.

Cao Mu slowly sank into the sea water, he could see around clearly, the bubbles and Yu Xiaojia had disappeared.

Yu Xiaojia seemed to have melted and disappeared into the dark sea water.

He stayed in the water for a long time before he climbed up to the reef again, staring fixedly at Qin Yu in Qin Yi's arms, Qin Yu looked as if he fell asleep exhaustedly, but Cao Mu could feel that he was gone breathe.

Qin Yu died.

This was the first time Cao Mu saw a dead person.

He frowned, and a familiar and unfamiliar feeling began to appear in his heart. This feeling made him very uncomfortable, but he felt that he had to do something.

Do something, go with the feeling.

For him, there was something irresistible.

When Cao Mu jumped onto the rock next to Qin Yi, Hong Jie suddenly said, "Where's Shen Dong?"

Shen Dong?Cao Mu just paused slightly, then continued to jump to Qin Yi's side, grabbed Qin Yu's arm, and pulled him out of Qin Yi's arms.

Qin Yi was still in a daze, and when his arms were empty, he came back to his senses and stood up abruptly: "What are you doing!"

Cao Mu didn't speak, didn't even look at Qin Yi, turned around and took Qin Yu's arm and began to drag him into the sea water.

"Let go!" Qin Yi rushed up to stop Cao Mu. He didn't know Cao Mu, and he couldn't figure out what Cao Mu was trying to do.

Cao Mu didn't even think about it, and pushed back on Qin Yi's chest.

Qin Yi felt a tightness in his chest, and he flew backwards, falling two or three meters away.

"Cao Xiaoyu," Hong Jie called out, "Where is Shen Dong!"

Cao Mu didn't seem to hear his voice, jumped into the sea, and then dragged Qin Yu into the sea.

"What's wrong with him!" Qin Yi also yelled, getting up and trying to stop Cao Mu.

Hong Jie rushed over to stop him: "Don't go."

"What is he going to do!" Qin Yi's voice was hoarse, he couldn't help but watch Cao Mu drag Qin Yu away like this, "Where is he going!"

"The underwater cemetery...he's going to the cemetery," Hong Jie stood in front of Qin Yi, "don't touch him, it's too dangerous."

"What are you doing at the cemetery?" Qin Yi's voice was filled with despair. He had already known how powerful Cao Mu was just now, and he knew that even if he ignored the danger, he would not be able to stop Cao Mu.

In just a few minutes, Yu Xiaojia disappeared and Qin Yu died. He felt that he could no longer hold on.

"This is the... ritual of the mermaid."

"What ceremony, sea burial?"

"No, it's just hatred for humans." Hong Jie took off his shoes, "Qin Yi, do you have diving equipment?"

"No, I didn't bring anything. I only brought self-defense. I just wanted to bring Yu Xiaojia here." Qin Yi replied hoarsely, leaning against a nearby rock.

"Wait for me here," Hong Jie jumped into the sea, "If you see Shen Dong, leave him here too!"

"Where are you going!" Qin Yi finally came to his senses. Although he didn't like Hong Jie as a psychopath, he was still in a hurry.

"I'll go after it." Hong Jie sank into the water.

Qin Yi looked at his figure disappearing under the water: "Are you dressed like this to chase a fish..."
