Hao Ren heard the noise coming from the small square and turned to look, and happened to see the staff waiting next to the signal tower walking towards the blood pool in the center of the square. The red liquid in the blood pool was surging regularly.
, the center part bulged slightly, as if something was about to come out of it. Lily held half a spicy stick in her mouth and leaned her neck on the window sill: "What is that for?"
"That is the process of returning to the real world," Ulanov explained. "Everyone is born from a pool of blood."
Hao Ren was immediately interested, but before he could say anything, he felt something cold and slippery move on his chest, and then Doudou popped out. The little mermaid jumped onto the window sill and patted her tail happily.
He was also attracted by the movement outside. As soon as Ulanov saw this mysterious creature, he was stunned: "What is this?"
Hao Ren supported Doudou's body to prevent the little guy from falling from the window sill and explained: "Um... my daughter is of the mermaid race. You don't have one."
Ulanov looked at Hao Ren and suddenly felt a little strange: "So you just walked on your tail when you made noise?"
Hao Ren: "..."
He didn't know how many times he, a fish girl, had explained similar problems to others. At this time, he had no motivation to speak, but the misunderstanding had to be clarified, so he could only wave his hands feebly: "The situation is very complicated.
, this is not my biological child, my adoption process of this girl is quite special."
Doudou had no idea that she had become a topic of discussion among the adults. She just waved happily to the lively scene in the square, as curious as any normal child. At the same time, she also noticed the people around her.
The wooden window frame, a wood with a light golden luster unique to this planet, whetted the little one's appetite. She opened her mouth and wanted to take a bite. Fortunately, Hao Ren stopped her with quick eyes and hands: among all the plants in Tanagus
They all contain a certain amount of gold. No matter how good the baby fish’s intestines are, it seems that she can’t digest gold...
But at this moment, the situation in the square changed unexpectedly.
After the staff were prepared, the source of blood surging in the blood pool suddenly calmed down.
As if some kind of transmission process was interrupted, the source of blood, which had already bulged as high as half a person, instantly lost its shape and returned to the calm surface of the water. The faint red light floating on the liquid also dimmed. The surrounding staff looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what was going on.
At that time, two people ran to the house across the square with nervous faces, seemingly going to report the situation.
"What's going on?" Yzaks asked curiously when he saw this scene.
Ulanov didn't know why. He had just woken up. Now he only got limited common sense from the Social Adaptation Department: "I don't know... There seems to be something wrong with the recovery process. Let's go over and take a look."
Hao Ren and his party quickly came to the blood pool. Yzaks grabbed a staff member to ask about the situation. The latter almost slipped into the pool when he saw the big devil's aura. Fortunately, Lily grabbed him. Hao Ren squatted in the blood pool.
Checking the status of the source blood next to the pool, it was found that the latter was in a state similar to inactivation. It was in a suppressed state in the container at the Crystal Core Research Station. The staff member who was almost caught by Yzaks and had a heart attack gasped for breath.
He took a breath and began to explain the situation: "The transmission process was suddenly interrupted, and nothing condensed in the source blood."
Hao Rengang wanted to check whether the nearby signal tower had recorded anything, but the data terminal suddenly floated in front of him: "Muru sent a message."
Hao Ren looked up and looked outside the town, and saw Mulu standing on the hill in the distance waving to him, gesturing for the call to be answered here. He asked the data terminal to take over the communication, and heard Mulu's urgent tone.
"Is the signal tower over there malfunctioning? Just now Drom told me that it lost control of a small blood pool. It seems that the signal is interrupted."
"I'm checking," Hao Ren said as he came to the signal tower. After opening the cover of its base, he found the crystal panel that can manually control the equipment. There were intricate symbols and text floating on the crystal panel. But the status
OK, "The signal tower seems fine."
He then activated the self-test program of the Crystal Core Research Station and the monitoring program of the Tanagus Planet Information Center (the latter is an information exchange center set up at the South Pole), only to find that from the coffin of life to the blood pool on the surface
The information chain between them is completely normal.
The will of the eldest son Drom could theoretically be transmitted to the blood pool in front of him without any hindrance, but the latter refused to respond.
It's not just a refusal to respond... there seems to be something else going on.
Lily looked at the pool of "water" curiously. She touched Hao Ren's sleeve: "Landlord, do you think this thing is avoiding you?"
"Avoid me?" Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed that the liquid level in the blood pool was not completely calm. There was a slight difference in height on the surface. Generally speaking, all the source blood was gathering towards the other side of the pool.
, causing one side of the liquid level to be about ten centimeters lower than the other side. For the entire pool, this difference is not big. If it weren't for Lily's sharp eyes, most people would not notice this.
Hao Ren just thought it was a coincidence at first. But when he tried to walk half a circle around the pond, he was surprised to find that the liquid level inside was really changing as he moved. The source blood under his feet was always at the lowest point: these liquids really seemed to be
Just like hiding from myself.
"This has never happened before," Hao Ren frowned and didn't know what was going on. He tested it several times but couldn't find the cause of this phenomenon. He bent down and inserted his fingers directly.
The source of blood felt warm and smooth, and there was nothing strange about it. "How about Lily, come over and taste it to see if it has expired?"
Lily immediately bared her teeth: "Why am I here?"
Hao Ren glared: "Nonsense. Don't you usually like to put it in your mouth to taste the saltiness before doing anything?"
He dared to use the source blood here to joke with Lily, because the source blood was catalyzed by Drom and was a mild and harmless product. Even if it lost control, it would not cause a blood wave like the source blood on other planets: This
There is no hatred for other living things in the blood.
While Hao Ren was talking to Lily, Doudou was looking into Hao Ren's collar and looking at the pond in front of him. The little guy found the brightly colored water surface very interesting. Although it looked different from the basin at home,
…
The surface of the water itself was enough to trigger the little mermaid's natural instinct: she wanted to swim twice.
So she did it.
He only heard a pop, and when Hao Ren reacted, he saw Doudou's tail flashing through the blood, creating a small splash of water.
Then the entire source blood pond suddenly became noisy as if boiling!
Large swaths of red liquid rolled and retreated in all directions from the point where Doudou fell into the water. The liquid level dropped rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. With the sound of rushing water, the source blood pond bottomed out in a few seconds.
.
Just like the Red Sea that was parted by Moses, the blood retreated to both sides of the pond, revealing a large dry bottom in the middle. Doudou closed his eyes and flapping his tail vigorously on the bottom of the pond in a swimming posture, and "swam" for a while.
Then he opened his eyes when he felt something wasn't right. The little guy looked around in confusion and jumped towards the nearest liquid without hesitation.
So Yuan Xue continued to give in.
"They're not hiding from me," Hao Ren was stunned, "They're hiding from Doudou!"
"Anyway, let's get the little guy out first." Lily was stunned for a moment, and then she was about to jump down to catch fish, but Hao Ren stopped her, and then took out a long-handled fishing net bag from his pocket:
"I have special tools here."
Lily glared at Hao Ren's "special tool": "How come you have prepared everything?"
"Nonsense, everyone in my family has this," Hao Ren muttered as he stretched out his net bag towards Doudou, "I bought this from a fishing gear store. I can't believe that I would classify this thing as a baby nursery."
Among the supplies..."
Doudou jumped into the net bag obediently, and was "fished out" by her father. After the little guy left the pond, the source of blood was indeed closed again.
Then Hao Ren took the little guy into his portable space, and everything went as expected: the blood pool regained its vitality.
"She seems to be able to inhibit the activity of source blood?" Elizabeth scratched her horn, "She looks so powerful!"
"It's not just as simple as suppressing the activity of Yuan Xue," Hao Ren's expression became more serious, "Obviously, Yuan Xue is afraid of her...or is in awe of her!" (To be continued.)
