On the way, Fanli also took a look at the swot analysis table of the promotion hunter that he had written:

Advantage: After successfully becoming a hunter, you can live to more than two thousand years old. When you find Su Yi, you can become stronger and protect her friends.Because the gene will also be modified by the "Heart of Styx", the DNA records held by the police can no longer match her, so as to avoid being found out for soul exchange.

Disadvantages: There may be sequelae, and there is a nearly 50% chance of death.

Opportunity: It is very possible to change back to the previous self, return to the relatives, and leave this damn Guanghai.

Threat: Becoming a hunter, may face new ethnic competition.But this is not what she fears.

Finally, she wrote two questions for herself: As Suy’s life, does it mean anything to herself?the answer is negative.

Would she feel a pity if she could not return to land, even if she died?If there is no Xinghai, the answer is no.

In fact, she had already reached a conclusion, and it was only until today that she was finally ready to take this step.

"I knew you would be back." The foreman manager smiled unsurprisingly and handed her a medication agreement. "Look at this first. If there is no problem, I will call Mr. Ada. "

Fanli accepted the agreement and suddenly thought of the key question: "Right, the price..."

"It's free."

"free?!"

"You all took such a big risk to take the medicine, and at the same time became the subject of our potion clinical experiment, how can we be embarrassed to collect the money." The manager looked at her up and down, then sneered, "Besides, I will choose this path. There is no such ability to pay, right."

Suddenly, Fanli had a deep sense of being despised and an embarrassment of being powerless to refute...

But think about it, compared to the one-time payment for drugs, the refuge and effectiveness of a large number of hunters that are almost bought out for life are the most valuable resources.Moreover, in terms of words and actions, they didn't mean to force her at all, which actually subverted her impression of the gangs forcing protection fees.

What the manager handed her was indeed the legendary death agreement.She looked at the content roughly, except for the repeated death words that made her feel terrified, the other content was basically what the manager had told her.

"The last question." Fan Li took a deep breath, "If I succeed in becoming a hunter, can the metamorphosis I drink now maintain the appearance of the ocean race?"

"of course can."

"Then I have no doubt." Fanli handed the agreement back to him, "I am willing to accept racial promotion."

After waiting in the reception room for twenty-five minutes, the manager took her to the office of Ada, the leader of the black crocodile union.

As soon as she opened the door, she was taken aback by the fat tentacles spreading half of the room.Mr. Ada, who was sitting on the chair, had a round face and kind eyebrows, but he looked hideous because of a long scar from his forehead to his chin.

Only then did Fanli know that in a dry environment, the sea clan can also choose marine products.How capricious it is.

Mr. Ada was playing with a juvenile white shark in the pool. He opened its mouth to see its new teeth. He heard the door opening, and said without raising his head: "Miss Fanli, can I take the'Heart of Styx'? It's not playing with dolls and house wine, have you thought about it."

"Ok."

"Come and sign."

Fanli and Mr. Ada signed the preservation agreement. Mr. Ada arranged for the doctor and pharmacist to send her to the medication room.

The facilities inside look a lot like a human operating room.The doctor motioned for her to lie on the operating table and asked the nurse to cuff her limbs.Fanli whispered timidly: "This...is there any pain to this degree?"

"Just to prevent mutation. Although the probability of the first death is low, it is not impossible."

Fan Li couldn't bring up the next topic. He only felt that his scalp was numb, and his heart fell into his stomach with a "chuckle".Then, she saw the nurse clean up her body with various disinfectants, and another nurse took out the infusion needle and said, "This is an analgesic. The needle is thick and it will be more painful."

Fan Li turned her head to look, smiled and blinked and said, "Not to mention a needle, but a straw, I feel a lot better."

"Ms. Fanli is good and has a good mentality." The doctor also smiled lovingly.

"It's all pretending, but I'm actually very nervous."

"You are not very nervous, and your heart rate is lower than that of ordinary people." The doctor did not use any equipment, and only relied on the sensitive hearing and calculation ability of the hunter to judge her heart rate. "Do you usually like to exercise? Fast swimming?"

"Not much exercise."

"Then your grades are very good. The top students have a good mentality."

It's one thing to have a good mentality. It's one thing to really get in the pain so much that you want to hit one's head to death is one thing. The pain caused by the painkiller itself is another thing.Fan Li resisted without screaming, and whimpered: "Why don't you just use anesthesia to faint me..."

"Three times of anesthesia in a short period of time, the body of the Ocean Race can't stand it. The first two can only bear the pain. Next, your body will have relatively big changes. Keep this mentality, the success rate will be higher." Seeing her frowned Nodding, the doctor lifted his chin, "Give her'Heart of Styx No. 1'."

It turns out that "taking medicine" is not to drink, but to infusion into the body.They pulled out the analgesic and replaced the potion with the blue "Heart of Styx No. 1".Because the needle is thick, it's like inserting a faucet directly into a blood vessel. The cold potion gurgled into Fan Li's body, freezing her blood.Even if she had been given analgesics in advance, the strong stimulation made her sweat all over.

The head and heart seemed to be burned by fire, but the limbs were cold as if they were thrown into the depths of the ice sea, and the tears were stimulated to fall into large ones. It was completely a physiological reaction and had nothing to do with emotions.

The first time it was like this, the second and third time, wouldn't it be necessary to die directly...

, , , , ...

Gradually, her ears became more and more sensitive, and everything seemed to be drawn close to her.She heard her heartbeat mixing with those of those around her.The pain originally eased a bit, but soon another wave of more stimulating pain ran across the body along the potion, and another wave of burning and cold lashing at her nerves...

I don't know how long it was in pain. When the handcuffs were finally released, Fan Li gasped and tried to get out of bed, but almost rolled off the operating table.

"Don't move, you can't go now, you need to rest." The nurses helped her back.

She collapsed into a puddle of mud, confused, and when she was raised her hand, she found that her wrist was bleeding a lot from the struggle.I didn't feel any pain in these places before.

After the nurses bandaged the wound for her, they carried her out of the medication room. Seeing her looking at the wound worriedly, the doctor told her that it was fine.Then she relaxed completely, watching the surrounding scenes constantly changing dizzy.

Tears filled his eyes again, but this time it was not because of pain, but a feeling of loneliness after a disaster.If the aunt was waiting outside the door at this time, she would definitely rush over to touch her head and feel more sad than her; if the father was there, she would definitely listen to the doctor’s guidance carefully and arrange the car to go home and the time for the review. , All recuperation matters...

However, there was no one she knew outside.She was separated from her family and life in a strange world by 2271 years.

After she recovered, she wanted to go back alone and face the fear of death threats alone.If she is not lucky, she will die in the deep sea before 2271, become bones, and be buried with a bunch of unknown people in an extrajudicial cemetery.

But she will not give up.

In the future, she will go home and reunite with her family, and she will live the life she wants.

Now, she wants to protect the people around her, protect Xinghai, and can't let him hurt her again...

Thinking of this, she told herself that this is a choice made by herself, don't cry, don't be so vulnerable.So gritted his teeth and forced the tears back.

But this strength that made her proud only lasted a short time.

Because she saw a familiar face of astonishment among many passers-by who passed her by in every color.

"Xinghai..."

She almost thought she saw an illusion and wanted to say something, but the moment she ran into his eyes, all the strong fortresses that had been silently built in her heart collapsed.She couldn't hold herself any longer, and started crying embarrassedly.

It is very troublesome for the sea clan to cry. There will be very pearly teardrops floating in the water, unlike humans who can hide them by just rubbing the corner of their eyes.Now that she was finally in a dry environment, she could reach out to wipe her tears, but Xinghai followed and took her hand.When her hand was completely surrounded by his palm, loneliness and grievance came overwhelmingly, but it made her shed more tears:

"You... why are you here?"

Xinghai wanted to touch her head, but he didn't know where to start. He just followed the nurse's walking pace and looked down at her with a worried look.

Then, the medical staff placed her in the ward.The hospital beds here are made up of sea pools. Soak the patients in sea water, and the wounds will heal faster.They put Fanli in the hospital bed, and she turned her tail back again, but she was also scarred.The buoyancy naturally held her up.

He finally spoke, but was very angry: "Why are you here? I should have asked you this question! Why did you come here alone and make such a dangerous decision without discussing it with anyone?!"

Fan Li was startled, because she had no confidence and became weaker: "I, I can't bear it anymore..."

"You just think I can't protect you, right?! Have you known me in advance after taking "Heart of Styx"? You know that the success rate in the third stage is actually not that low, but 34% of deaths are It hurts to die! You are too sloppy and careless about your body!" At this point, Xinghai was holding his forehead, his chest rising and falling, seeming to calm his anger.After a long time, he calmly looked at her again: "...say, why do you want to do this? Why don't you trust me?"

"No, I...I want to live for two thousand years. I want to learn arcane and potions, but my previous physique is not good..." Van Li paused, and a silver teardrop rolled into the water, "I'm all I did this for myself, not for others."

In fact, this is lying to a large extent.

She knew in her heart that she would choose this path now because she had concerns in this world.

Thinking of this, she looked up at Xinghai and smiled at him: "So, don't be too narcissistic."

"Do you think it's worth paying such a big price?"

"value."

For a good boy like you, it is worth the price.

Xinghai wanted to scold her a few more words, but after colliding with her vision, he also seemed to be crushed.He got closer, held her in his arms, and strangled her with pain.

"Lili, I can't lose you." His body was shaking slightly, "Really."

"Don't be sad, don't be sad..." In fact, she was sad in her heart, but she still patted his back with a smile, "There is still a 50% chance of success. Think of a good place, okay?"

Xinghai stayed with Fanli for two hours in the ward.During these two hours, Fan Li has been unwell. She slept for five to twenty minutes from time to time, and was quickly awakened by nightmares of nausea and pain.

But after two hours, most of the physical discomfort finally disappeared.

"I'm going to get you some food." Xinghai quickly found that she was looking around, getting up and about to leave, but she was holding her clothes corner.He looked down at her hand, his attitude became much gentler: "I'll be back soon."

She let go of her hand reluctantly, and nodded again.

She sat up slowly, nestled on the pillow, supported her forehead with the palms of her hands, closed her eyes, frowned and breathed slowly, adjusting her state.The new eyesight keeps her headaches; the sense of touch is as sensitive as the whole person has been peeled off; the smell of everything in the nasal cavity is like taking a sip of toilet water...

Hearing changes are particularly big-

"The police didn't find the murder weapon. I hid everything. I killed it neatly. Don't worry..."

"My dear, the moonlight was so beautiful yesterday. It's a pity that you didn't go to the sea with me, leaving me alone in the waves to miss you..."

"This test report doesn't show anything. You can take him for a special examination of the swim bladder. I suspect that there is a tumor in his swim bladder..."

"My girlfriend is in ward 17, this one is heated up, can you send it over, thank you..."

The last one is the voice of Xinghai.He has reached the end of the corridor.Except for him, chaotic voices rushed from all directions, causing her brain to crack.She covered her ear fins and buried her head in the bed, but she couldn't stand the noise from her body.

"I'm not used to the new sensory functions yet." Mr. Ada's voice sounded.He came in with the doctor.

She just wanted to sit up, but Mr. Ada stretched out his hand to signal her to lie down.Looking at the wedding ring at the base of her tail fin, he smiled with comprehension: "It is always affectionate and misleading. There are many males who come to us for promotion. They have all kinds of experiences, and some don't even have any experience, just want to become stronger. That's it. But women always want to be promoted for the same reason."

Fanli also looked at the wedding ring: "I don't understand what you mean..."

Mr. Ada slowly swung his eight fat and soft tentacles, climbed to the opposite side of the hospital bed, and said with ease: "For marine females, hunter males are always attractive. Especially sharks and orcas, the top of the food chain. Players, the super genes of natural selection, once they fancy a female, the enthusiasm and passion they can burst is proportional to their hunting ability. However, because they have been pursuing passion throughout their lives, they can treat a female Love can only last until they get her completely. The female hunters have long known what their men are, so they dismissive of them, constantly mating with the best genetically, and dislike those weak men. This intensifies male competition. , Which made them evolve more fierce and ruthless. But for female marine tribes, this kind of love is a poppy. Once the crossover and hunter tribe have fallen in love, look back and compare similar males, how bland and tasteless. How many female marine tribes want to become hunter tribe , Trying to stand at the same height with the lover, just to stay together. But the result is that when they really become hunters, the little girl who originally innocently yearned for love is gone. Gene is a terrible thing, it Will swallow you, assimilate you, but won't listen to you."

"Mr. Ada, you make a lot of sense, but... it seems to have nothing to do with me."

Mr. Ada wrote with a face full of disbelief: "Really it doesn't matter? Let me guess your story. The former is a pure-blood hunter, and the current boyfriend is a mixed-race, right."

"No." She thought for a while, she could only say according to her own state, "I don't have a boyfriend."

"No boyfriend, good answer. It seems that the handsome mixed guy just now is just a spare tire. Hahahaha, I am optimistic about you."

"No, no, it's really just friends now."

"If you like each other without mating and count as friends, then I believe you are friends. The little handsome guy is very affectionate now, but believe me, in the world of hunters, affection is the most useless thing. Mixed affection, even more It's worthless like dirt." Mr. Ada touched his chin and smiled slightly, "After three months, you will start to worry about how to get rid of him completely."

"He is my most important person, and I will never want to get rid of him."

"That's even more cruel. Do you want him to love you while watching you busy copulating with countless male sea clan powerhouses."

Fanli scratched her hair and felt that the inability to communicate would make her crazy.But think about it as the boss of the Black Crocodile Guild. She took a few long breaths and said calmly: "I don’t think that being not strong enough and being content with the status quo is a disadvantage. If my future partner is a boy like Xinghai, I think it’s pretty good. Okay. If he doesn't want to pursue a better life, I will come. He just needs to love me, love me, and be handsome."

"Hahahahahaha..." Mr. Ada laughed out loud, "Miss Fanli, you look thin and weak. I didn't expect that you are such a strong girl in your bones. It's a pity that you don't count many things, yours. Instinct has the final say. In short, let's look forward to your promotion."

"Miss Fanli," the doctor said with a smile, "Mr. Ada always likes to tease you young girls who are only promoted. He has no malice."

Fanli found that she could clearly see the name written on the doctor's tag seven or eight meters away when she raised her eyes.The doctor pointed to the tag with comprehension: "Can you see these clearly, can you?" Seeing Fanli nodded, he smiled with satisfaction: "Very good. Sit up and I will teach you how to control your hearing and smell-vision should be No need to control, right?"

"Yeah." Fan Li sat up.

"First of all, you listen to me. When I read the numbers, you slowly inflate into the ear fins, the more you drum back, one, two, three, four, five..." His voice grew louder. When I read "Five", I almost shouted, "Do you think the sound sounds similar? Do it again. One, two, three, four, five! How do you feel now?"

"The sound level seems to be about the same."

"You are very savvy, you learned it twice? Well, now we do it again. This time, when it's five, you have to send a signal to your brain:'Hold, hold, hold, hold... It's starting, one, two, three, four, five-keep it!" Seeing Fanli closed her eyes and did it, the doctor said, "How? Has the hearing sensitivity become low?"

"It's really low." Fanli clapped her ear fins incredulously, "It's like the volume has been turned down."

"You are learning things really fast..." The doctor felt even more incredible, "I have been working here for 114 years, and this is the first time I have seen a marine race with such a strong learning ability. For hunters, they were born not long ago. There is this kind of ability, so there is no need to learn it specially. But for the adult sea clan, it will take a week or two to finish the two steps just now."

"After that, I will adjust my hearing according to the degree of inflating and self-suggestion?"

"Yes. After you adapt, this process can be completed in 0.3 seconds."

"The hunter is terrible!" Fan Li shivered.

"Haha, these are just five senses. After three months, you will be promoted three times, and you will discover a magical new world." The doctor brought seven test tubes filled with solutions of different colors, "Come on, now I will teach you how to control the sense of smell. ..."

In front of the ward, Xinghai watched the entire training process without saying a word.When Mr. Ada said that to Fanli just now, he did not use sound insulation. Obviously, it was not caused by carelessness. In Mr. Ada's view, he was just a worthless hybrid.

He believed that Fanli had a purely kind heart.

However, he also believes in genes.It is very difficult for any creature, even advanced intelligent creatures, to defeat genes.

If Fanli is really promoted, she will become a 100% pure-blood hunter.By then, will she still be the girl he loves?

On the way home to send Fanli, he found that she was like a child, full of curiosity about everything, standing upright with ear fins, listening to other people's speech everywhere, listening to whales singing 700 nautical miles away.

If she is manipulated by instinct, he should be the first male to have the right to mate with her.However, other men will also have a chance.

"Lili, I hope everything goes well for you." Xinghai touched her bangs that had been chased by the water, "I hope you can successfully complete the promotion."

I hope there will be such a day, because he hopes that Fanli will survive.

I really don't want this day.

Xinghai looked at her in silence, water shining in her aqua-blue eyes.

At that time, will she become one of her many men, or will she leave silently?

"Don't worry, my luck is good, I won't die. From now on, someone will fight alongside you!" Fanli patted her chest, but soon showed a worried look, "But... if I become After the hunter race, would you not like me. You said that you don’t like the hunter race, you like the ocean race..."

Xinghai shook his head slightly: "I like the Ocean Race because you are the Ocean Race. If you are a Hunter Race, then I like the Hunter Race. I only want you and nothing else matters."

"Me too." His straightforwardness made Fanli blush and heartbeat, and she wanted to escape to the other side of the cabin, but she still mustered up the courage, clenched the corner of her clothes tightly, and said, "No matter what race you are, I don't care."

"Then you only want me?" A happy smile rippled across Xinghai's eyes.It's great, the girl in front of me is still the same Lili.

"No, don't ask such questions." Fan Li twisted her head to the side, facing the wall with chagrin.She is now in a very complicated mood. She wants to run away from him, she wants to pinch his face to tell him to stop saying this, and she wants to hide in his arms and shrink into a mimosa.

"Okay, don't ask." Xinghai smiled.

***4.3 Small Theater***

Fanli: "Xinghai Xinghai, supplementary question: If I were a man, would you still like me?"

Xinghai: "Brother's like."

Fanli: "Are boys not able to accept transgender, unconditional love?"

Xitian: "Absolutely not! Disgusting!"

Xinghai: "No."

Su Shiye: "No. Lili wants me to accept it?"

Ye Jia: "The little fairy of the common people would be very cute if she becomes a man. If you have a relationship with you, you can consider it."

Fanli: "...4.3 First gay, it really wasn't just casual talk."
