I had many experiences traveling by boat, but this was the first time I was traveling on a whale. Moreover, there were mermaids leading the way and two female Spartan warriors escorting me.
I took out the photo that Dilov gave me and looked at the four people and one cat hesitantly. The background behind them was the original site of the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai. I had seen two people and one cat before. The other person looked like me. Dilov said that it was my father and a Native American.
What a strange combination. A priest living in France, a Mongolian shaman granny, a Japanese cat master, an American Indian chief, and an English archaeologist. How did these people from all over the world gather together? Was this photo really not photoshopped?
As the price for telling me the truth, Dilov asked me to do something for him. With my personality, it's hard to reach a consensus with others, but this time is an exception because we have the same goal.
" I didn't expect Granny Shaman to laugh…"
Granny Shaman. I've forgotten her exact name. I haven't been in contact with her for a long time, but I've been taken care of by her.
"Feed the monkey!"
"Hello, Miss Steamed Yellow Croaker.”
Hostile, absolute hostility! Reuniting with the young mermaid lady had turned out like this. I really didn't understand why she and these two female warriors had interfered in the mission that Dilov had entrusted to me.
As soon as I finished speaking, two spears were aimed at my neck from behind. I had already received such meaningless threats five times in an hour.
"Can't you tell me your name?”
"Alicia!" Miss Mermaid leaped onto the wide back of the whale. I stared at her lower body that had turned into a fishtail. This was something I had always been curious about. How did the fishtail turn into a leg?
A pair of fingers pierced into my eyes, and I immediately lost my sight. By the time I could see clearly, it was already ten minutes later. She was clearly a mermaid, but she didn't wear the coral-shell bra. Instead, she kept wearing that dress.
"Since you hate me so much, you might as well not leave together!”I shouted angrily at Alicia.
"Get your identity clear. You are my captive!”
"Oh, my identity has been upgraded from goods to captives?”
"If you don't mind being a cargo, you can stay in the whale's stomach.”
The whale's coordinated breathing seemed to be warning me that I was completely isolated here.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly!" I suppressed my anger and tried to keep my tone calm.
"We're going to Northern Europe, why are we going to the Indian Ocean?”
I poked the whale's back with my finger and said,""You want me to ride this guy to Northern Europe? Even if they took the fastest route to cross the Bering Strait, it would still take a month. Now is the time when the ocean currents are flowing. If we encounter a storm in the Bering Strait, you guys will be fine, but I'll have to feed the fish! And what about food and lodging at sea? Am I going to eat sashimi dipped in seawater every day?!”
The sisters standing behind me said in unison,"Weak man!"
"Could it be that all of you undersea residents grew up eating raw fish?”
Another two fingers. I keenly blocked my eyes, but this time she changed her attack mode. She bent her fingers and pinched my nose, twisting it 90 degrees.
"Are you done?!"
"It's not over!"
"Then let's have a one-on-one battle!”
As soon as I finished speaking, the two spears hit my spine. The whale once again cooperated with me by breathing, as if telling me that this resistance was meaningless.
A day ago, I received Dilov's request on the beach and set off for Northern Europe.
"Who exactly are you?"
"The place we live in is also called Atlantis, but it's deep under the sea.”
" Oh, the lost civilization."
" Our civilization is not behind yours. Your civilization cannot reach such a deep sea, but we can visit your world.”
"So the tragedy that happened in 2012 was also your doing?”
"Don't forget that we live on the same planet.”
Dilov's deep tone seemed to remind me of the meaning of this meeting. I stopped joking and began to listen to his pleas.
" Our Bystander has betrayed us.”
Bystanders? The madman who called me also called me that. I asked tentatively,"Your spy betrayed us?"
" A long time ago, we sent a loyal and reliable general to your world. He was called the 'Spectator' just to monitor your actions and estimate that you might pose a threat to us. Up until three months ago, the Spectator was still dutifully completing his mission. We were completely unprepared for his betrayal.”
"He must have done something earth-shattering.”
"You know nothing about what happened under the sea. He led a strange army to attack us. Our people were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.”
" Strange army…"
"An army that doesn't care about casualties. Each and every one of them is more ferocious than wild wolves, and they use weapons from your world.”
"Let me guess!" I paused for a moment before saying,"You must have thought that the Spectator had joined us and led our army to attack you.”
" It's normal suspicion."
"So you are also preparing to attack us?”
"This war is meaningless. I came here to stop it, just like your father.”
I looked at the photo in my hand. Although the person in the photo looked somewhat similar to me, where did this strange photo come from? Why were so many unrelated people gathered together? Before these mysteries were solved, I would not easily believe his words.
"You should have seen this before." Dilov tossed me a crystal chip. I caught it in my hand, and the anger in my heart rose.
"That strange army is the clone of the Forbidden Fruit?!”
"We have the same goal. Help us get rid of this traitor. You can end your nightmare, and I can quell the flames of war.”
Dilov placed a stack of information in front of me and took out a knife to cut off the seaweed that bound my hands and feet.
"Why me?"
"Choosing a conspicuous person to do conspicuous things is also your father's unfinished business. Besides, she trusts you.”With these three points, you are the best candidate.
"Her?" I turned my head to look at the path in the bushes. Miss Mermaid and the Spartan female warrior had returned and were staring at me from afar.
Dilov whispered to me," She doesn't believe that the Spectator will betray us. For her safety, we can't let her meet the Spectator alone, so she'll go with you.”
"Who is she?"
"After completing the mission, you will know everything.”
Anstodin, the leader of the Viking Armed Pirates, had a lot of misdeeds in his life. He had stopped many oil mines, bombarded whaling ships, and hijacked cargo ships. He had been able to escape unscathed in the face of multiple government armed sieges, so much so that the Northern European shippers had to pay him a considerable toll every year. In terms of finances, he did have the ability to support the research funding needed for the Forbidden Fruit.
Looking at the honest middle-aged man in the photo, I asked Alicia,""Why do you believe him?"
"Just like I trust you."
I was stumped by this inexplicable sentence. I stared blankly at Alicia, but she turned around and jumped into the sea.
