After I Transmigrated as a Mermaid, I Transmigrated Back
Chapter 46 Slate Book
The most difficult time for Zhao Xiaokui was when she first arrived in the mermaid world.
Maybe it's because the body and the soul don't match, the inheritance memory she received has a section but not a section, other mermaids understand what they should understand as soon as they are born, but she is like a mentally handicapped person who doesn't know anything .
The Three Common Languages of the Extraordinary World: Divine Language, Abyssal Language, and Human Language.
Most of the books in the mermaid family library are written in these three languages.
Ordinary mermaids can do simple listening, reading and spelling by virtue of inherited skills, but Zhao Xiaokui?She didn't know a word.
The only thing she knows is the mermaid language that comes with her body.
But people, being pushed into a hurry, apart from math problems, what else can't be solved?
What's more, many of the stone books in the mermaid world have voice and picture functions. If you see a lot of pictures and listen to the voice, you will gradually understand what it means.
She always felt that if she had the spirit of learning in her third year of high school, there was no need to worry about her English grades.
Zhao Xiaokui did not have high expectations for the contents of this batch of slate books at the Nightcrawler Base.
Because slate books also have grades, and this batch of slate books, in her opinion, can almost all be classified as the worst grade of slate books.
Zhao Xiaokui roughly divides the books in Mermaid World into three categories.
The first type of slate book directly transmits a piece of the author's memory, with voice, text and pictures, and even can feel the author's experience when facing different extraordinary creatures. The quality of this kind of slate book is the best, but the production The difficulty is also the highest, and it requires a certain amount of mental power, and the number is very rare. Even in the mermaid library with a huge collection of books, Zhao Xiaokui has never seen more than one hand—of course, this is to exclude After killing those sealed drugs.
The second type is similar to the third type of slate books, and they are similar to books in human society, except that the pictures accompanying the second type can move, and the voice left by the author through mental fluctuations can be heard, while the third type can only read pictures and read books. Text up.
Today's batch of slate books belong to the third category.
The production of this type of slate book is not difficult, and low-level transcendents can make it. The content is mostly history or travel notes. It is difficult to come across useful knowledge, but it is good as an extracurricular book.
In front of everyone, Zhao Xiaokui copied a total of twelve slates.
There are 36 books that she found out by herself.
Among the 36 volumes, two-thirds of them have only broken characters, almost speechless.
For the remaining third, there isn't much content left.
Paragraphs of text and pictures emerged in Zhao Xiaokui's mind.
Soon, she gave up on deciphering the content of the text, just as the experts found the writing style of these words familiar, Zhao Xiaokui also felt that these words were somewhat similar to the common language of humans in the mermaid world, but after careful analysis and comparison, she found that , These words are not like she thought, they are variants of Common Language, but more like a brand new language.
But the pictures, she recognized many familiar species.
The protoss with their backs and wings, the horned demons on their heads, and skeletons with bones...
These were races she had never actually met, but had seen in books over and over again in the mermaid world.
Zhao Xiaokui couldn't help but wonder, is there any connection between this previous civilization that existed on Earth and the mermaid world?
Or, is it actually the mermaid world she traveled through?
After all, even soul travel can happen, so what's so strange about crossing time and space?
Then can she find traces of mermaids on the earth?
Or in this world, do mermaids still exist?
Zhao Xiaokui's thoughts became more and more chaotic.
For the mermaid family, Zhao Xiaokui's feelings are actually very complicated.
When she was in the deep sea, she always thought that she was a human being, hated the environment in the sea, and even hated her own fish tail, and dreamed of returning to land, having two legs, and standing under the sun.
However, when she really becomes a human being, she will often dream about things in the deep sea.
Funny to say.
As a mermaid, longs for the sun.
When I was human, I longed for the ocean.
People always seem to cherish the things that have been lost.
She remembered the joy when she swam freely in the sea with her fish tail for the first time, and also remembered the surprise when she saw the pearl in the shell for the first time.
Those little bits and pieces of good memories slowly surfaced after the pain faded away.
Apart from not being able to see the sun all the year round, actually thinking about it carefully, Zhao Xiaokui doesn't hate the deep sea that much.
It's like she doesn't really like human society that much.
She knew that Shen Zhifei must have discovered this.
That's why they want her to enter the entertainment circle and are willing to support her to become a night crawler.
She is working hard to make Zhao Xiaokui fall in love with this world.
Try hard to make Zhao Xiaokui connect with this world.
In a gentle and subtle way, she weaves a net and pulls the wandering Zhao Xiaokui into the world.
Thinking of Shen Zhifei, Zhao Xiaokui couldn't help smiling.
How did she know that she was Zhao Xiaokui's biggest anchor, the anchor that kept her boat from being blown away in the wind and rain.
Without her, Zhao Xiaokui would have been lost in memory as early as when she devoured her soul.
Zhao Xiaokui had a good night's sleep.
The news of the text and messages found in the slate was uploaded layer by layer in a very short period of time, and soon reached the Nightcrawler headquarters.
The slate, which was stored as a useless collection in the past, has finally seen the light of day.
Many people were excited by the news.
This is exactly what Zhao Xiaokui wanted.
If it was in the past, with her cautious and suspicious temperament, she would naturally not reveal her specialness in front of Nightcrawler.
Maybe after she has a thorough understanding of Nightcrawler and has a certain hole card, she may reveal what she knows without a trace, but it is definitely not now.
She has a long lifespan and a lot of time to waste.
But Shen Zhifei couldn't afford to wait.
Whether it's a mind reader or an astrologer, she doesn't know much, let alone the method of cultivation.
Although there are many books in the mermaid library, most of them are historical records or personal travel notes. There are very few books that really involve cultivation knowledge, and most of them are only suitable for mermaids or certain races.
What she can provide Shen Zhifei is only some common methods to improve mental power.
There is no limit to these methods, which means that the speed of cultivation is not much faster.
Unlike her, Shen Zhifei has awakened blood, even if he doesn't advance, he can have a long lifespan just by relying on his natural blood.
As an ordinary human being, even if he became a superhuman, Shen Zhifei's life would only last more than a hundred years.
For mermaids who often live for thousands of years, this is not even a fraction.
Besides Shen Zhifei, Zhao Xiaokui had a good impression of Nightcrawler, which was also a very important reason.
Especially Su Mingyue, Zhao Xiaokui can feel that the other party is completely from the heart, and cares about herself as a junior.
As for her, what she can't bear the most is other people's kindness.
Even if this kindness is not much, she is willing to give it a try.
Considering the possible danger of the stone books, the first batch of stone books translated by Zhao Xiaokui were quickly divided into several batches and sent to the largest cities.
There are more wolves and less meat, Huaguo has a vast territory, many cities, and many extraordinary people. Except for the nightcrawler base in S City, which is the discoverer, which has the largest number of words, only a few large-scale bases have obtained a piece.
These slate books currently have only one function, and that is as a testing instrument.
Over the years, they searched out countless slate books. If only Zhao Xiaokui could see the contents, when would they have to copy them.
In case Zhao Xiaokui had a headache and something went wrong, wouldn't their research stop here?
All Transcendents who did not carry out their missions were called back to the headquarters and lined up for testing one by one.
"I think this Zhao Xiaokui is really a lucky baby. When Wang Yan was arrested before, if it wasn't for her, he would have run away. It's only been a long time since she came to the base this time, and she discovered such a big secret."
The speaker was Gou Rixin, who was chatting with others while queuing up, and mentioned that Zhao Xiaokui had discovered the secret of the stone book, and he somehow felt a sense of pride.
Apart from Lin Bai and Su Mingyue, he was the first person to know Zhao Xiaokui.
He also had snacks with Zhao Xiaokui!
Wang Junwu, who was also called back to take the test, took it very seriously.
But at the same time, he was a little worried, "The gang of old men in the research institute won't rob us of people. They finally pulled Zhao Xiaokui in. I want her to go on missions with her..."
After seeing Zhao Xiaokui's fighting power, how could Wang Junwu be willing to put such a talent with high attack and high perception in the base.
Isn't that a waste?
"It's hard to say."
Most of the supernatural beings among the night walkers in the entire S city base have been tested, and up to now, none of them have seen that it is not the vortex, but the words in the stone book.
Soon the team was sent to them.
Wang Junwu did the test first, he put down the slate, shook his head, "I can't see anything, it's just a dark vortex."
Then there are the rest of the squad he leads.
The answers they gave were all the same, and the faces of several researchers who conducted the test showed obvious disappointment.
The teams of Wang Junwu and Zhang Hongyi are the two strongest teams in the entire base in City S. Even their superhumans can't see the contents inside. Is there really anyone who can see the contents inside?
After Wang Junwu, it was Zhang Hongyi's team.
Zhang Hongyi didn't expect too much from himself, and the result was as he expected, he couldn't see anything.
Lin Bai stepped forward and gently pressed his forehead against the slate.
As a Transcendent whose brain domain has evolved, people expect the most from him. Seeing that he hasn't raised his head for a long time, his eyes are full of hope.
After about a few minutes, Lin Bai raised his head, met everyone's gaze, and rubbed his temples.
He shook his head and said, "No, I can see some fragments in the vortex, but it's too much to record."
"Hey."
Someone let out a long sigh.
Some people are very optimistic, "If you can see a little bit, it means that it is not completely hopeless."
Behind Lin Bai is the red cherry.
After Hongying posted it, it quickly separated from the slate, and the researcher subconsciously said, "Next."
Red Sakura: "Wait."
Researcher: "What's wrong?"
"Give me a piece of paper, will you?"
Hearing what Hong Ying said, someone came over with a pen and paper immediately, she sat aside, and under the watchful eyes of several people, wrote down a paragraph of text that she wrote down.
"Is that right?"
Someone brought a copy of the document written by Zhao Xiaokui for comparison. A researcher slapped his thigh and cheered, "It's the same, it's the same, someone recognized it."
"Quick, quick, give me the pen, give me the pen, I've seen something too!" On the other side, Gou Rixin also asked for the pen blatantly.
Lin Bai cast a suspicious look at him.
"What are you looking at, haven't you seen a handsome guy?" Gou Rixin was slightly proud that Lin Bai didn't see what was inside, but he saw it himself, and said loudly, "Give me a pen and paper, or I'll forget what to do?"
When Zhao Xiaokui copied the contents of the slate book, no matter whether it was written characters or paintings, there was almost no difference from the original text.
For completely unfamiliar words, Hongying can only memorize a paragraph by rote with the brain of an extraordinary person. The written words also look awkward, more like painting.
As for Gou Rixin, he was completely playing tricks.
If it wasn't for the matching of his ghost drawing symbols with the original manuscript, the researcher would have thought he was fooling people.
"How is it, brother is amazing?" After confirming, Gou Rixin showed off to Lin Bai with a villainous face, "I said, brother is the chosen one, how could it be possible that he only has such a small extraordinary ability as the sense of smell? There must be other opportunities waiting for me, hahaha, Bai, don't worry, I will never forget you when my brother soars into the sky."
With a straight face, Lin Bai pulled his hands off his shoulders. He didn't really want to talk to this humanoid husky. He always felt that his IQ would be polluted.
The appearance of Gou Rixin and Hongying seems to have made a good start, and one after another, people can recognize the words in the stone book.
However, the abilities of these extraordinary people are very different. Apart from discovering that they are all extraordinary people with special abilities, they can't find anything else in common.
On this point, Zhao Xiaokui had his own guess.
Looking at history, the destruction of ancient civilizations was a complete destruction.
After it disappeared for tens of thousands of years, Homo sapiens, the ancient ancestor of modern humans, evolved from chimpanzees and walked on the earth.
It can be seen from this that although ancient human civilization and modern human civilization are also dominated by humanoid races, they may not be closely related to each other.
It is not difficult to explain why the content in the stone book that most people see is a whirlpool.
Just like a string of 0 and 1, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is just a string of unknown numbers, but programmers can recognize it as a string of codes, and even interpret it in computer language.
She is not familiar with other people who can interpret the slate book, but she is clear about Hongying.
The extraordinary ability in her actually comes from an abyssal demon called the Shadowless Demon.
And the abyssal demon is a creature that appeared in the records of ancient civilizations.
Maybe it's because the body and the soul don't match, the inheritance memory she received has a section but not a section, other mermaids understand what they should understand as soon as they are born, but she is like a mentally handicapped person who doesn't know anything .
The Three Common Languages of the Extraordinary World: Divine Language, Abyssal Language, and Human Language.
Most of the books in the mermaid family library are written in these three languages.
Ordinary mermaids can do simple listening, reading and spelling by virtue of inherited skills, but Zhao Xiaokui?She didn't know a word.
The only thing she knows is the mermaid language that comes with her body.

What's more, many of the stone books in the mermaid world have voice and picture functions. If you see a lot of pictures and listen to the voice, you will gradually understand what it means.
