HCB Chapter 146 Actor
Chapter 146 Actor
"The Turritopsis dohrnii, class Hydrozoa, lives in the Caribbean. When an individual matures, if it receives fatal damage, it can revert from the adult jellyfish form to the juvenile polyp form—"
“Thus leaping over death.”
“This life process repeats itself endlessly.”
Inside the jellyfish exhibition hall.
Lu Yaoguang's low voice slowly fell into my ear.
Chu Yan unconsciously recalled the illusion that resonated in his mind before Song Yang's death.
There are also the myths and legends that have been mentioned strangely.
Tens of thousands of years ago.
A second sun appeared in the sky.
Huainanzi Zengshu:
In the time of Yao, several suns appeared at once, burning crops and killing plants, leaving the people with nothing to eat. The sun exploded, meteorites fell, fires burned without extinguishing, and waters flooded without stopping. Wild beasts ate the people, and birds of prey snatched the old and weak!
At that time——
It is the beginning of all changes.
"It" has come. Because people cannot explain it, "it" has always been wrapped in unclear prophecies and mysticism throughout the long river of history.
Until a saint came into the world.
Nuwa repaired the sky, Houyi shot down the sun, Dayu controlled the flood, and Xihe bathed in the sun on the shore of the East China Sea, saving all living beings.
But "it" always lurks in the dark.
The King of Chu hunted him in Yunmeng.
The Qin Emperor sealed it in Junshan Mountain in Dongting Lake.
First, there were the Hundred Schools of Thought, each showing its own magical powers. Later, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty abolished the Hundred Schools of Thought and respected Confucianism alone. When the Han Dynasty was in danger, Wang Mang usurped the throne and Yang Xiong committed suicide.
It seems that it can only ever be suppressed, never truly killed.
Whenever life is in danger.
It will reverse the growth process, resting in dormancy until it regains its full strength once again.
Like now.
Although it is locked at the bottom of Dongting Lake, it is able to spread out endless "Tao seeds" silently and parasitize in the greedy hearts of people.
Chu Yan suddenly asked, "Song Shi, once guarded the 'Tao Seed' for the First Emperor?"
Lu Yaoguang nodded.
"Maybe even earlier, before the First Emperor."
"Then" he paused: "then he committed embezzlement."
Chu Yan made a decision: "I will go to Dongting in two days."
Lu Yaoguang: “…”
Chu Yan pondered: "I have to find time to go to Xuan Chuang. I wonder how Song Ling is doing."
Lu Yaoguang: “…”
He coughed lightly and was about to speak to persuade her.
Followed by.
Chu Yan's next sentence made him raise his eyes suddenly.
Chu Yan said without any warning:
"You also think that weirdness cannot be explained by science?"
"Oh, you wouldn't, or you wouldn't have those two guns."
Lu Yaoguang:
"The weird are just a form of life that has not yet been covered by modern science. Their immortality is just a process of lineage recombination of cell differentiation and transfer. When science is extended to a certain level, we can truly explain their existence."
"Miss Chu has thought of something."
Chu Yan hummed in agreement.
Science is always expanding.
Just as Newtonian mechanics extended Einstein's theory of relativity, relativity laid the foundation for modern astrophysics.
At a certain moment just now.
It suddenly occurred to her.
Perhaps she could start from the very beginning of the clue.
Everything has a source.
And the source of all cause and effect.
It was the day in the illusion when the earth cracked and the strange things came.
Suddenly appeared - the second sun.
In the aquarium.
A group of jellyfish ate enough water and were well fed.
The two egg yolk jellyfish that were entangled together just now finally separated their predatory tentacles.
Lu Yaoguang read it with admiration.
"It's the law of nature, but predators and predators compete for the top ecological niche. The winner is the king, and the loser is the enemy. Jellyfish eat jellyfish."
Chu Yan hummed and yawned.
It seems that the strangeness absorbed before has not been fully digested.
I'm starting to feel sleepy now.
"Well, the result of ecological competition is idempotence. In the end, it's just the original soup turning into the original food. Jellyfish eat jellyfish, queen kills queen, and you Song family - the dragon slayer will eventually become the evil dragon."
Lu Yaoguang's eyes curved: "Ms. Chu, I took my mother's surname and have severed ties with the Song family."
The two walked out of the jellyfish exhibition hall side by side.
Chu Yan: "Aren't you the legendary abandoned young master of the Song family?"
Lu Yaoguang: "That kind of abandoned young master? What a pity. If I put it in a male-oriented novel, my experience would be long and boring, with no excitement."
Chu Yan thought for a moment:
“Then let’s start today.”
"Congratulations, you can start having fun from the first chapter."
Lu Yaoguang was helpless.
Open the door for her, be gentlemanly.
"I guess tomorrow is the first chapter."
"But today is indeed worth celebrating."
Outside.
The aquarium light show was bustling and noisy.
On the bulletin board next to it, there are various cute cartoon animal protection public service advertisements.
Lu Yaoguang said:
"I'll take Miss Chu back."
"However, this charity adoption event looks great. Miss Chu, would you consider adopting a jellyfish?"
Chu Yan had a blank expression on his face: "You want me to adopt a jellyfish?"
Lu Yaoguang held his forehead with his hand: "To be precise, it is a small jellyfish before it is served on the table. If it is adopted by Miss Chu, it will not be fed to other jellyfish."
Chu Yan: "So your hobby is to be a Madonna in the aquarium."
Lu Yaoguang: “…”
However, Chu Yan still took an application form.
Fill it out quickly.
Handed it to the aquarium staff who looked surprised.
Chu Yan: "However, you are very lucky. So far, I am quite satisfied with my partners, and I will try my best to agree to your request."
"Adopted a moon jellyfish."
“I hope that next time you come to see the jellyfish, the jellyfish can also see the Halo of the Virgin Mary above your head.”
Lu Yaoguang was helpless: "It seems that after Miss Chu fell asleep, she disliked me as her partner."
Adopt with love, 200 yuan per jellyfish.
The aquarium is making a lot of money.
After all, jellyfish don’t seem to be a rare large animal. There were thousands of them in the water tank in the exhibition hall just now…
Before Chu Yan submits his application.
Lu Yaoguang swiped the card quickly and silently.
I took the adoption certificate from the staff and took a look at it.
Then he handed it to Chu Yan.
At the same time, he returned the Songyang "Tao Seed" that he had been keeping for her.
The two walked through the crowd of people laughing and talking in the light show.
Leave the aquarium.
The SUV drove through the streets and alleys of S City and took Chu Yan back to the Chu residence.
Before Chu Yan got off the car, he looked at Lu Yaoguang thoughtfully.
Lu Yaoguang avoided the topic and spoke sincerely.
"Miss Chu."
“I’m thankful for today – I’m so happy.”
Chu Yan was waiting for him to ask for help.
Lu Yaoguang: "Looking forward to seeing you next time."
Chu Yan returned to the bedroom with an expressionless face.
Sneer in the heart.
【Ah. 】
[He clearly knew that the strangeness had a stronger influence on him. He called this honesty? Trust?]
The system asked in a trance: [What's wrong, host? Why aren't you sleeping yet? ]
Chu Yan:
【sleep.】
[After waking up, I forgot about Lu Yaoguang just like everyone else.]
[I want to see how he will say 'see you next time'. ]
system:【! ! ! 】
Chu Yan wrote a note casually.
Took a combat shower.
When choosing pajamas, I could still roughly remember what happened that night, but when I was drying my hair, I could only think of the incident of killing Song Yang. When I was dissatisfied with the low power of the hair dryer and used my true energy to dry my hair, my consciousness was already hazy.
[System, are SUVs so advanced now? They can also drive automatically. ]
【When did technology advance so fast? 】
The system was horrified: [Wait, host, you——]
Chu Yan was stuck on the pillow.
Fall asleep happily.
At this moment, she, like all the passers-by who passed by Lu Yaoguang today, completely forgot about him.
And in the quiet night.
No one knew that the true energy in Chu Yan's body, after absorbing the strange power, was slowly flowing and widening his meridians.
for a long time.
The surging internal energy returned to stability.
But eager to try.
Facing - it was exactly the direction of Songyang's Tao seed.
early morning.
Chu Yan got up.
Chat with the system, brush your teeth, and clear your mobile game daily routine.
The system spoke tentatively: [Host, that, that...]
Chu Yan suddenly paused.
On her mirror, there was a concert poster of the Red Tide band and a note written in her own handwriting.
【Six dusts.】
Chu Yan's expression suddenly changed.
She quickly took off her black-framed glasses.
Staring at the face in the mirror that is beyond human aesthetics, indescribably beautiful, and a god-level weapon to deal with weirdness——
Well, that white moonlight face.
In an instant, countless memories came flooding back to me!
He who disappeared, the exclusive ripper of the Song family, the abandoned son of the Song family, the high-level metalworking talent, and the number one person to fleece the sheep of Xuanchuang.
Chu Yan had a slight headache.
It took a long time to reply.
Oh, Lu Yaoguang.
The system was excited: [Did you remember? Did you remember? ]
Chu Yan did not comment.
The cell phone beeped.
It was Chu Zizhao who was telling tales:
[Report——! Chu Xuan blocked the downstairs! ]
[You can go out through the window if you want to go out. I stole a breakfast for you and left it at your door! [Good boy][Good boy]]
Chu Yan raised his eyebrows.
But at this time.
The phone rang again.
The number is unfamiliar.
【Hello, Miss Chu. 】
[Thank you for participating in the public donation interaction of S City Aquarium. I am your loving adoption contact person, Lu Yaoguang. Are you free this week to come and see the little jellyfish you adopted? ]
Chu Yan: “…”
Chu Yan sneered: "Let him act!"
Then he replied indifferently: [No time. ]
