After the dizzy feeling of swaying from side to side, Xia Chi held the armrest of the seat with one hand and the ground of the submarine with one hand, and staggered up from the ground. His face was livid and ugly.

After taking a deep breath for a while, Xia Chi finally regained his composure, swayed back to his seat, and fastened his seat belt again.

Xia Chi: "..."

Do you want to experience this sour and refreshing taste again when you go back?

Curse and disgust, if he had to choose one, he would choose disgust.

Priscilla drove the submarine slowly towards its destination in the sea water.

The whale he met last time was still there, but what was different from before was that this time there was a small whale in the belly of the whale.

The baby whale followed the mother whale and left the deep sea swaying its tail.

Priscilla followed his memory and the coordinates recorded in the submarine and quickly found the place where the two tall stone statues stood last time.

As soon as he passed between two huge stone statues, a mermaid holding a harpoon suddenly appeared in front of the submarine.

Under the lights of the submarine, the mermaid's fiery red hair and metal bracelet shone brightly.

It's the red-tailed mermaid I rescued last time.

When he saw the mermaid, the mermaid also saw himself through the transparent glass.

The moment she saw clearly that the person coming was Bai Li Xin, the fierce-looking red-tailed mermaid instantly put away her sharp fangs and fierce look, stretched out her hand and gave a happy heart sign to Bai Li Xin.

"Hey~"

A cheerful cry came into the submarine, and the red-tailed mermaid probably thought that the cry was not enough, and even danced in front of Bai Lixin.

The beautiful huge tail fin spreads out softly in the sea, like a piece of delicate and expensive silk. As the huge tail sways, the surface of the "silk" shines with a dreamy gilded luster.

Xia Chi stared at the mermaid outside the window in a daze: "Brother, wouldn't the name of this mermaid attract other mermaids to it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a "beep" sound began to respond to the call of the red-tailed mermaid.

The next second, the second, the third... more than a dozen mermaid cries came one after another, ringing out from all directions.

But in the blink of an eye, a dozen mermaids they had never seen before swam quickly from the dark sea in the distance, stopped in front of the submarine, and stared directly at Bai Lixin in the submarine.

Xia Chi's expression froze instantly: "..."

I'm not a crow's mouth, it's not me, it's unfair.

There is no pattern in the age of those mermaids, some are young and some are old.

Among this group of mermaids, the oldest female mermaid stood in the middle, and her position was a little further forward than all the mermaids. She seemed to be the leader of this group of mermaids.

The female mermaid held a sharp harpoon in her withered hands. There was a fish stuck in the middle of each harpoon. The fish was not dead yet and was struggling up and down. It was obvious that it was hunting just now.

Through the window, she looked at the two people inside with vigilance. The harpoon was raised high by her, and the sharp blade was pressed against the glass. At this time, if she pressed harder, it seemed that she could easily pierce the glass of the submarine.

Let the sea water pour inside.

Then aren’t they dead?!

Xia Chi's face turned pale, his body remained unchanged, his mouth tried hard to keep still and he spoke in a low voice: "Brother."

"I have a secret that I haven't told you."

Priscilla: "What secret?"

Xia Chi: "I have... phobia of the deep sea."

Priscilla: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Xia Chi's pale face looked particularly fragile at this moment: "I'm afraid I'll hold you back."

Priscilla: "It's okay, don't be afraid, calm down, she won't break the glass."

Sure enough, just as Bai Lixin said, the female mermaid held the spike against the glass for a while, then took it off and put it in her hand again.

The red-tailed mermaid quickly swam to the female mermaid and danced "baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa", sometimes gesticulating rapidly with both hands, and sometimes pointing at the submarine, as if he was explaining something to the female mermaid.

There was hesitation in the female mermaid's eyes, and then she began to look at Priscilla inside with a scrutinizing gaze.

The female mermaid has sharp eyes. Although she is a bit older, her tail is the largest and most beautiful among the dozens of mermaids. The female mermaid glanced at Bailixin for a few times and then her eyes fell on Bailixin's neck.

Prissy thought she was probably looking at the mermaid's heart.

After thinking for two seconds, Baili Xin took out the black pearl hanging around her neck from her clothes and showed it in front of the mermaid.

The female mermaid who originally remained calm quickly swam her tail and swam in front of Priscilla. She put her hands on the glass and stared at the mermaid in Priscilla's hand.

Bai Lixin: "."

Sure enough, what interested it was the mermaid's heart.

What about the red-tailed mermaid?

Could it be that the kindness it shows to itself is also because of the mermaid heart?

Is it possible that they actually know the heart of the mermaid?

There was a flash of surprise in Bai Lixin's eyes as she stared at the Mermaid Heart.

"Pap-pap-pap".

There was a knocking sound outside the glass, and the beautiful elderly female mermaid patted the glass heavily with her hand. Under Priscilla's gaze, she pointed back, then left the submarine and began to move in that direction.

After Bai Lixin and Xia Chi looked at each other, they controlled the submarine to keep up with the pace of the mermaid.

She pointed in that direction just now, as if she was guiding herself in the direction.

She seemed to be taking herself somewhere.

Xia Chi sat motionless in the passenger seat, his face wilting.

Upon seeing this, Bai Lixin took something from his backpack and handed it over to Xia Chi, "Here you go."

Xia Chiqiang braced himself and took a look at the thing. It was a mint candy.

Taking the mint candy in his hand, Xia Chi glanced at Bai Lixin gratefully: "Thank you, brother. I originally wanted to help you, but I was delayed this time. I'm sorry."

Priscilla: "Don't blame yourself. If fear can be overcome so easily, it is not fear."

"Fear, in a sense, is actually a self-protection mechanism of human beings. Because of fear, people instinctively want to avoid it. Many times in the subconscious of human beings, when they think that something will threaten them, they will use

The fear mechanism reminds the brain to avoid it in time.”

"For example, some people have a natural fear of darkness. In fact, what they fear is not the darkness itself, but the unknown hidden in the darkness. Maybe they have seen the scene of a murder in the dark, or maybe they subconsciously feel that there is something unknown in the darkness.

It is safe, but because of the emergence of fear, most people will deliberately avoid darkness, thus avoiding existence that may pose a threat to their lives."

"Let's take you for example. Are you afraid of the deep sea? Is it really the deep sea that you're afraid of? Or is it the feeling of suffocation that you're afraid of?"

Faced with Bai Lixin's inquiry, Xia Chi was stunned for a moment, and then replied seriously: "It's a feeling of suffocation. I almost drowned before, and since then I have had an inexplicable fear of the sea. Even if I learned

Swimming does not alleviate this problem. Every time I swim, when the water reaches my face, I am actually trembling deep inside."

Xia Chi paused: "In addition, I'm afraid of the deep sea. In addition to the feeling of suffocation, it's also because there are many unknown creatures in the deep sea. The visibility in the deep ocean is inherently low, and those creatures don't know if they will hurt me, so they just take them.

The whale just now was so big that it could easily swallow us into its belly just by opening its mouth. We didn't even have a chance to resist."

Priscilla: "Then if you could breathe in the ocean, like these mermaids, would you still be afraid of the suffocation caused by the ocean?"

Xia Chi: "Of course not. The ocean is to mermaids what air is to us humans. If I could be like mermaids, how could I be afraid of the air? I don't know how to breathe oxygen."

Priscilla: "So ultimately, it's not the ocean itself that you're afraid of, it's death."

Xia Chi's body suddenly stiffened, and he stopped tearing at the mint.

After a moment, Xia Chi nodded, "You're right, brother, I'm afraid of death."

Bai Lixin: "There is nothing shameful about fear of death. Fear of death is the essence of human beings. Although death is a necessary subject from the moment life is born, survival has always been the instinct of living things. Your reactions are all

It's just the most basic instinct of human beings, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about. This is normal, Xia Chi. You have to remember that you are a human being first, and then you are a player of a thriller game. It does not mean that you stay in this thriller game for a long time and the floor becomes higher.

Lost the right to fear."

"You can be afraid, and I can be afraid, and that's not a bad thing."

Xia Chi's shoulders, which had always been stiff, finally relaxed, "Brother, you really spoke to my heart."

"Ever since I climbed to the 600th floor, I don't know why. I always feel that it would be low if I show fear again, so many dungeons pretend to be calm. Sometimes when I don't know how to be calm,

I just think of you and imitate your expression to stabilize myself."

"But actually I'm still very scared, and I don't dare to show it."

"It's different when I'm with you. When I'm with you, because of your presence, I feel like my position has instantly changed from a player who needs to be alone to a little follower who can hide behind you. Brother...

..." Xia Chi scratched his head, "Are you going to laugh at me?"

Bai Li Xin: "Don't think blindly, eat sweets quickly."

Xia Chi opened the plastic package and stuffed a piece of mint candy into his mouth. Then he let out a comfortable sigh, closed his eyes and leaned on the backrest behind him.

After a two-second pause, Xia Chi opened his eyes again, and his somewhat different calm gaze fell on Bai Lixin.

Bai Lixin glanced at Xia Chi.

He didn't know why, but he always felt that Xia Chi was a little different now than before.
