Quick Wear: After the strategy was successful, she died again

"Nuannuan, if you are scared, you can close your eyes."

Yu Zhan squeezed Gu Sui Nuan's hand, trying to calm her fear of the deep pit.

The hole was located at a very deep bottom of the sea, where sunlight could not penetrate. Moreover, the black hole formed a serious fault with the sea water, and the water in the hole was as black as ink, and it was impossible to see the inside clearly.

Coupled with the surging sea water, it feels like a huge and strange creature will emerge from the pit at any time.

"Are we going in here?" Gu Sui Nuan looked around and realized that the place Yu Zhan was going to should be inside the black hole.

"Yeah." Yu Zhan was very worried about Gu Sui Nuan's situation.

"It's okay, just go in."

Although looking at this hole makes people feel fear of the deep sea, it is only a little scary. Gu Sui Nuan was mentally prepared, and held Yu Zhan's hand tightly, indicating that he could leave.

Yu Zhan pulled Gu Sui Nuan and swam into the black hole. The dark sea water made Gu Sui Nuan unable to see anything else, so he could only swim downwards with Yu Zhan.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Sui Nuan saw a faint blue light appear around her. They passed through the dark waters and came to a deep blue sea.

On the surrounding pit walls were seaweed plants that had never been seen before, swaying in the sea water, and various deep-sea creatures roamed around here.

In addition to the deep-sea creatures that Gu Sui Nuan had seen and heard of, there were also schools of small blue fish swimming in the sea. The palm-sized fish shone with light and swam in groups.

As Yu Zhan continued to carry Gu Sui Nuan downwards, a small blue fish bumped into Gu Sui Nuan. He thought the fish would go around him, but unexpectedly, the blue fish swam through Gu Sui Nuan's body and left.

Gu Sui Nuan tried to reach out and touch them, but sure enough, he couldn't feel anything. These little fish looked like just blue shadows or a ball of light.

"Those are the souls of living things." Yu Zhan explained when he saw Gu Sui Nuan looking at the blue fish curiously.

"The souls of creatures that die in the ocean are drawn here. They have no memories or consciousness, and wander aimlessly with their obsessions from their lifetime until they are completely assimilated by the ocean and become its life force."

"You mean that the souls of creatures that die at sea will be absorbed by the ocean?" Gu Sui Nuan looked at the school of fish again, and began to feel scared when he thought that they were the souls of humans or other conscious creatures.

"Yes. It seems that in the human world, this place has a very vivid name called 'Guixu'." Yu Zhan said as he took Gu Sui Nuan downstream a little further.

“Don’t human souls go to the underworld after death?” Gu Sui Nuan didn’t understand. Doesn’t the underworld care about this place?

Yu Zhan could tell what Gu Sui Nuan was wondering about. He laughed and showed disdain for the underworld: "Whether it's gods or ghosts, the rules on land don't apply to the ocean."

"Nuannuan should understand that compared to the ocean, how much land does the land occupy? Even though human technology is advanced nowadays, their research on the ocean is only 3%."

Having said this, Yu Zhan lowered his head, hiding the depth in his eyes:

"Humans should fear the ocean and be grateful for the life it nurtures and feeds them. Instead of...doing things that they shouldn't do."

"Yu Zhan, I'm sorry."

Gu Sui Nuan moved closer to Yu Zhan and put her other hand on the back of his hand. Although she didn't notice anything unusual about Yu Zhan, she understood what Yu Zhan was referring to.

During this period, there was an endless stream of news about garbage on the sea. Because of her work, Gu Sui Nuan had also heard about it. The land formed by garbage piles floating on the sea affected the ecological environment.

Maybe the ocean and its creatures hate the two-legged creatures on land?

After all, only humans would destroy the blue ocean.

"It has nothing to do with Nuannuan." Yu Zhan grabbed Gu Suinuan's hand and rubbed it on his cheek. "Let's continue. I heard my mother calling me."

Hearing Yu Zhan say this, Gu Sui Nuan suddenly felt a little nervous. She didn't know what kind of mermaid Yu Zhan's mother was. The meeting was too sudden and she was not prepared.

Gu Sui Nuan was worried, but Yu Zhan had already pulled her to a palace in the sea. The palace seemed to be made of marble and floated in the sea.

There were buildings on all four sides of the palace, but the center was empty, leaving a circular hole. A deep blue water column emerged from the deeper seabed and passed through the center of the palace, looking like a special blue vortex.

Yu Zhan took Gu Sui Nuan directly to the whirlpool in the center of the building. When they swam closer, Gu Sui Nuan saw a blue figure swimming in the center of the whirlpool.

It was no longer a creature with flesh and blood, but a mermaid girl formed by the deep blue sea water. Her face, hair, and tail were all flowing sea water.

After seeing Gu Sui Nuan and Yu Zhan, she swam to the edge of the whirlpool. The water current depicted her expression, and she seemed to be looking at Gu Sui Nuan.

"Yu Zhan, since you are injured, go and rest first." The girl turned her head to look at Yu Zhan, with a commanding tone.

Yu Zhan glanced at Gu Sui Nuan, whispered to her to wait for him here and not to run around, then swam into the blue vortex.

Yu Zhan's figure disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only Gu Suinan and the strange mermaid girl.

The girl moved closer to Gu Sui Nuan and stretched out her hand to touch him. However, she seemed unable to leave the whirlpool as she was made of sea water. She could only withdraw her hand and look at him again.

"Very good. A pure soul and fresh and tenacious vitality are exactly what the ocean needs."

The girl looked at Gu Sui Nuan and talked to herself with great satisfaction.

"The bloodline is correct, and the soul is fine. My child did a good job this time, bringing such a good sacrifice."

"What did you say?" Gu Sui Nuan didn't understand what she meant.

In the whirlpool, the mermaid girl covered her mouth and laughed, as if she didn't expect that Gu Sui Nuan would follow Yu Zhan to such a place without knowing anything.

"Your family made a contract with me. I gave him a second life, and he will be used by the ocean."

"However, I didn't expect that humans would be untrustworthy creatures. They actually betrayed our agreement and never came back. My people have left, and humans have dropped too many shells into the sea. In order to calm the anger of the ocean, I can only sacrifice myself."

"But now Yu Zhan has brought you here. The ocean has a new sacrifice, so I can leave with peace of mind."

The mermaid girl looked calm and didn't seem to be lying. But Gu Sui Nuan didn't believe that Yu Zhan tricked her into Guixu to be a sacrifice.

Seeing Gu Sui Nuan's suspicion, the girl raised her hand and waved it, and a blue light ball flew into Gu Sui Nuan's mind. She saw a memory about Hua Guosheng and the mermaid girl.

At that time, Hua Guosheng had been injured by a shell and was dying. The mermaid girl brought him to Guixu and used the power of the ocean to heal his wounds.

At that time, the mermaid girl told Hua Guosheng that the ocean liked human souls very much and asked Hua Guosheng to find a pure human soul for her.

Hua Guosheng nodded at that time, but looking at his confused appearance, he probably didn't know what he had agreed to.

"Come here, child, fulfill your duty and sacrifice your life for the ocean."

When Gu Sui Nuan came out of that memory, he saw the mermaid girl hooking her finger at Gu Sui Nuan and trying to trick Gu Sui Nuan into the center of the vortex with her beautiful and charming voice.
