When Hao Ren heard the movement in the small square, he turned his head and saw the staff waiting next to the signal tower walking toward the blood pool in the center of the square. The red liquid in the blood pool was surging rhythmically, and the central part was slightly bulging as if something was about to come out. Lily, with half a spicy strip in her mouth, leaned on the windowsill and asked, "What is that for?"
"That is the process of returning to the real world," Ulyanov explained. "Everyone is born from the blood pool."
Hao Ren was suddenly interested. But before he could say anything, he felt something cold and slippery in his chest, and then Lil Pea arched out from it. The little mermaid jumped to the windowsill and flapped her tail happily. She was also attracted by the movement outside. Ulyanov was stunned when he saw the mysterious creature. "What is this?"
Hao Ren held Lil Pea to prevent the little one from falling from the windowsill and explained, "Err … My daughter, a mermaid. You don't have one. "
Ulyanov looked at Hao Ren in a strange way. "So you were walking with your tails when you first made a sound?"
Hao Ren was speechless.
He did not know how many times he had explained similar problems to others because of his mermaid daughter. At this time, he had no motivation to speak. But he had to clarify the misunderstanding, so he could only wave his hand weakly. "It's complicated. She's not my biological daughter. The process of my adoption of this girl is a little special."
Lil Pea had no idea that she had become the topic of discussion among the adults. She just waved happily at the lively scene in the square, full of curiosity like any normal child. At the same time, she also noticed the wooden window frame next to her. The unique, pale golden wood of this planet whetted the little one's appetite. She opened her mouth and wanted to take a bite, but fortunately, Hao Ren quickly stopped her. All plants in Tannagost contained a certain amount of metal element. No matter how good the baby mermaid's stomach was, she did not seem to be able to digest gold.
At this moment, there was an unexpected change in the situation in the square.
After the staff were ready, the surging origin blood in the blood pool suddenly calmed down.
As if some kind of transmission process was interrupted, the origin blood that was already half the height of a person instantly lost its shape and returned to a calm water surface. The faint red light floating on the liquid also dimmed. The surrounding staff looked at each other, not knowing what had happened. Then, two people ran to the house opposite the square with nervous faces, seemingly to report the situation.
"What's going on?" Y 'zaks asked curiously.
Ulyanov did not know what was going on. He had just woken up and only had limited knowledge from the Social Adaptation Department. "I don't know … It seems that there is something wrong with the recovery process. Let's go and have a look."
Hao Ren and his entourage hurried to the blood pool. Y 'zaks grabbed a staff member to ask about the situation. The staff member almost slid into the pool when he saw the demonic aura. Fortunately, Lily caught him. Hao Ren squatted next to the blood pool to check the state of the origin blood. He found that the latter's condition was similar to inactivation, which was in a suppressed state in the container of CARS. The staff member who almost got a heart attack by Y 'zaks gasped and began to explain the situation. "The transmission process was suddenly interrupted, and nothing condensed in the origin blood."
Just as Hao Ren wanted to check if the signal tower next to him had recorded anything, the MDT suddenly floated in front of him and said, "Muru is contacting us."
Hao Ren looked up at the outside of the town and saw Muru standing on a hill in the distance, waving at him while gesturing for him to answer the phone. He asked the MDT to take the call and heard Muru saying in a hurry, "Is there a problem with the signal tower over there? Zorm just told me that it has lost control of a small blood pool. It seems that the signal is interrupted. "
"I'm checking," Hao Ren said as he came next to the signal tower. After opening the cover of its base, he found a crystal panel that could be manually controlled. There were intricate symbols and text floating on the crystal panel, but it was normal. "The signal tower seems to be fine."
Then he activated the self-test program of CARS and the monitoring program of the Tannagost Information Terminal (the latter was an information exchange center set up at the South Pole), but found that the information chain between the Coffin of Life and the blood pool on the surface was completely normal.
In theory, the will of the First Born could be transmitted to the blood pool in front of him without any hindrance, but the latter refused to respond.
Not only did it refuse to respond, but there seemed to be something else.
Lily looked at the pool of 'water' curiously. She touched Hao Ren's sleeve and asked, "Mr. Landlord, do you think this thing is avoiding you?"
"Avoiding me?" Hao Ren was stunned for a moment. Only then did he notice that the surface of the blood pool was not completely calm. There was a slight difference in height on the surface. In general, all the lifeblood was gathering on the other side of the pool, causing this side of the pool to be about ten centimeters lower than the other side. For the entire pool, the difference was not big. If it were not for Lily's sharp eyes, most people would not have noticed it.
At first, Hao Ren thought it was just a coincidence. But when he tried to walk half a circle around the pool, he was surprised to find that the surface of the liquid was really changing as he moved. The lifeblood under his feet was always at the lowest point: the liquid really seemed to be avoiding him.
"This has never happened before," Hao Ren frowned. He did not know what was going on. He tested it back and forth several times, but he could not find the cause of this phenomenon. He bent down and put his finger directly into the lifeblood. It felt warm and smooth. "Why don't you come over and have a taste, Lily? See if it has expired."
Lily immediately bared her teeth. "Why me?"
Hao Ren glared at her. "Nonsense, don't you usually like to put it in your mouth first?"
He dared to use the lifeblood here to joke with Lily. Because the lifeblood was catalyzed by Zorm, it was mild and harmless. Even if it was out of control, it would not cause a blood tide like the lifeblood on other planets. There was no hatred for other creatures in this lifeblood.
While Hao Ren was talking to Lily, Lil Pea was looking at the pool in front of her from Hao Ren's collar. The little one felt that the brightly colored water was very interesting, although it seemed to be different from the water basin at home, but …
The water itself was enough to trigger the little mermaid's natural instinct: she wanted to go down and swim.
So she did just that.
When Hao Ren came to his senses, he only saw Lil Pea's tail flashing in the lifeblood, rolling up a small splash.
Then the whole pool of lifeblood suddenly became noisy as if it was boiling!
A large amount of red liquid rolled and retreated in all directions from the point where Lil Pea fell into the water. The liquid dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye. With the sound of water splashing, the bottom of the pool of lifeblood was seen in a few seconds.
Just like the Red Sea separated by Moses, the lifeblood retreated to both sides of the pool, revealing a large dry bottom in the middle. Lil Pea closed her eyes at the bottom of the pool and flapped her tail vigorously to make a swimming posture. After 'swimming' for a while, she felt that something was wrong and opened her eyes. The little one looked around in confusion and did not hesitate to rush to the nearest liquid.
So the lifeblood continued to retreat.
"They are not hiding from me," Hao Ren was stunned. "They are hiding from Lil Pea!"
"Anyway, get the little one out first." Lily was also stunned for a moment, and then she was ready to jump down to catch the fish. But Hao Ren stopped her and then took out a long-handled fishing net from the dimensional pocket. "I have a special tool here."
Lily stared at Hao Ren's' special tool '. "Why do you have everything prepared?"
"Of course, I have everything in my house," Hao Ren muttered as he stretched the net to Lil Pea. "I bought this from a fishing gear store. I can't believe this thing is classified as a nursery product."
Lil Pea obediently jumped into the net and was' fished 'out by her dad. After the little one left the pool, the lifeblood closed again.
Then Hao Ren put the little one into the dimensional pocket. Everything was as expected: the blood pool regained its vitality.
"She seems to be able to suppress the activity of the lifeblood?" Y 'lisabet scratched her horns. "She looks so powerful!"
"It's not as simple as suppressing the activity of the lifeblood." Hao Ren looked more serious. "Obviously, the lifeblood is afraid of her. Or it is in awe of her!"
