“What are you doing? Come on!” Wei Ying supported her belly with one hand and pushed Tang Yu with the other.
Tang Yu was pushed two steps forward. He turned around and told Wei Ying seriously, “Be careful.”
Wei Ying was a little impatient, she urged him with her little hand, “Go.”
The man squeezed the wooden board in his hand and walked in that direction.
The farther he went from Wei Ying, the darker his surroundings became. At the corner, he saw an iron plate, and it was full of garbage and dead bones of marine animals.
A huge fish tail was exposed outside. If one didn’t look closely, they would think that it was a plastic bag.
Tang Yu walked to the corner and used the wooden board to pick up the abandoned iron plate, which made the white trash roll off.
He saw a man with a fishtail squatting in the corner, as if he was afraid of Tang Yu. He was shaking with his arms.
Tang Yu felt his fear and turned back to Wei Ying and said, “Come here.”
The girl immediately walked over with her big belly. When she got closer, the place was lit slightly. She looked at the merman carefully with the faint blue light.
Earlier, Tang Yu couldn’t see what the merman looked like. But now, he could see him clearly with Wei Ying’s belly’s light.
The merman was losing his scales, his skin was thin, his face was pale and bloodless.
Wei Ying looked for a while, then poked Tang Yu’s elbow with her finger, and whispered, “Tang Tang, did you notice? This merman has no shadow.”
“What did you call me?” Tang Yu ignored the point when he heard her calling him intimately.
In his previous life, Wei Ying always liked to give him various bizarre names.
Mr. Tang, Lao Tang, Tang Tang, My Tang … these nicknames were endless. At first, he disliked “Tang Tang” the most, but then over time, he actually loved it.
These days, Wei Ying’s condition was very clear. It was harder for her to remember their old feelings than to reach the sky in one step. But she actually called him that now, did that mean that her condition had improved?
Seeing the man looking at her, Wei Ying asked again, “What do you think?”
Tang Yu then went to see the merman, and found that the other party didn’t have a shadow. He thought of a possibility and asked, “Is he a ghost?”
Grumbling, the mermen opened his mouth timidly and talked to them. His mouth twitched, his scales refracted the faint blue light into a light spot, and landed on the deck.
At first Tang Yu couldn’t understand what the merman was talking about, but later the merman quickly adjusted to human language.
The merman looked at Wei Ying and began to make sentences. After a full 20 minutes of crackling, he finally closed his mouth.
Tang Yu looked at the merman, she wondered, “You mean, Xiahai City became like this because of you?”
Feeling a little tired, Wei Ying held the man’s hand and sat cross-legged on the deck, keeping her sight flush on the mermaid.
She also frowned and said, “If you do such a thing, aren’t you afraid of condemnation? This is a serious violation to the hell’s rules on earth. The realm of Hell will send someone to arrest you.”
Before the reform and opening up, Xiahai City was just a seaside village. It was beautiful and rich, and its sea was blue and clear.
In the following decades, Xiahai City developed rapidly; the construction of the city developed rapidly due to the support of tourism.
Xiahai City’s Thirteen Islands had been built into China’s number one tourist destination, and more people went there for sightseeing.
However, the pollution increased because of that. There were even petrochemical and pharmaceutical factories in Xiahai City. Wastewater containing heavy metals was discharged into the sea.
At the same time, the coal-fired power plant in Xiahai City was still dominated by coal combustion, which also caused great damage to the air.
According to news statistics, up to 6 million tons of oil and petroleum products entered the ocean in various ways every year, which seriously polluted the living environment of marine life, causing a large number of marine to die and become extinct.
In recent years, the bodies of whales and dolphins had often been found in the sea, and humankind’s commitment to protecting the ocean had never been fulfilled.
There were more grievances gathered under the sea. They couldn’t enter the reincarnation circle, so they simply spared everything, allowing human beings to eat the evil results and feel the suffering they once suffered.
The mermaids and mermen in the waters of Xiahai City went extinct due to the harsh environment. This sea was their home, they would rather die than leave it.
These marine creatures all had unnatural deaths, and the mermaid and mermen were the same. Coupled with the fact that their hatred for humanity was not extinguished, most of them had become ghosts, so they stayed in the world and retaliated against humanity.
The haze over Xiahai City was the breath they breathed. The garbage on the beach was also the garbage that humans had put into the sea for decades.
Of course, marine debris was much more than that.
If things continued to be that way, then Xiahai City would become a dead city within half a year. Humans who were there would die due to severe smog pollution.
If Xiahai City became a dead one, one could imagine how big the impact would be for the country and even globally. The actions of these ocean lonely souls had not only seriously affected the order on earth, but also affected the operation of the underworld.
The merman looked at Wei Ying timidly and whispered, “We know the consequences of doing so. But we are willing to pay everything for revenge! Are you here to catch us?”
“Me?” Wei Ying pointed to her nose and said righteously, “I’m here to clear the environment here.”
The merman pointed to her belly and said, “You have the heart of the ocean in your body.”
“Heart of the ocean?” Wei Ying glanced down at her glowing belly and poked it, she wondered, “Are you talking about my baby?”
The merman explained, “We can’t get into the reincarnation cycle. Only the owner of the heart of the ocean can help us cross into reincarnation. It’s too painful for us to stay in this breathless deep-sea world. You can send us away.”
Wei Ying quickly remembered that she swallowed the blue crystal.
The heart of the ocean was probably this blue crystal.
She asked, “How should I help you?”
The merman said, “The host who owns the heart of the ocean will have magical power. If you can help us deal with the haze of Xiahai City and the garbage on the beach, the order can be restored again, and the gate of Hell will treat us well. By then, we can go to a whole new world and leave the deep ocean that suffocated us. “
Wei Ying touched her belly, she was embarrassed to tell him that the heart of the ocean was eaten by her.
