The sick fish glanced up blankly, turned pale with fright, and suddenly got under the table, covering his head and shivering.
"What's wrong? What did you see?" Princess Half-Fish quickly came over.
The sick fish was so frightened that he couldn't speak. He just said repeatedly, "I didn't see clearly."
The princess felt even more strange. And he didn’t quite believe it, so he asked, “You didn’t see clearly, why are you so scared?”
The sick fish hesitated to tell the princess.
The princess was not polite at all, &bsp&bsp said, "I won't let you go until you tell me. What's on the ceiling?"
The sick fish couldn't do anything to the princess, so he hesitated and said, "Eyes."
"What?"
"There are eyes on the ceiling."
The half-fish princess stared at the sick fish suspiciously. The sick fish didn't look like he was lying.
The princess had no choice but to let him go.
After a while, the princess found several opportunities to be alone with the sick fish. She asked the sick fish to help her look at the things on the ceiling.
Some sick fish are difficult to talk, and the rest will be frightened for a while when they see the ceiling,&bsp&bspThen they answer the same question, "There are eyes on the ceiling."
The half-fish princess felt even more curious.
Where did the eyes come from? What exactly are “eyes”? But when those sick fish were asked to take another look and describe it carefully, they were all panicked and refused to take another look.
In a blink of an eye, the day came when the doctor’s friend came to visit me in the fifth year.
The half-fish princess didn't need to be called by the sharp fish doctor, so she waited at the crack of the door early.
The doctor's friends usually came very early, but this time she waited and saw nothing.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Dr. Sharpfish passed by her. The princess was moved, grabbed the doctor and said, "I know! He can't be seen today."
Doctor Sharpfish stopped and smiled, "You didn't answer the question directly."
The half-fish princess was very anxious, but could not speak.
She felt as if a series of things were in her mind, but she couldn't connect them.
What Dr. Sharp Fish meant was right. His friends were already here today. It's just transparent to her.
"Are you going to give up the opportunity to answer this year?" Dr. Sharpfish was about to leave.
"No! I want to answer!" The half-fish princess quickly grabbed him, "He has - he has a disguise of change! He can transform!"
Doctor Sharpfish touched her head, "You have to tell me, what is he?"
"I can't see through his disguise!" the half-fish princess said eagerly, "Maybe the eyes on the ceiling can see through him!"
Dr. Sharpfish asked calmly, "How do you know about the eyes on the ceiling?"
The princess originally thought that Dr. Sharpfish would be angry, but he seemed okay, so she boldly said, "I looked at the ceiling, what's wrong?"
Dr. Sharp Fish said calmly and calmly
"You weren't looking at the ceiling. You asked other fish to tell you."
"oh……"
He was indeed spying on me. the princess thought in frustration.
Doctor Sharpfish patted her head. "Yeah. I didn't make it clear, so I'll just punish you normally. You won't come to see my friends for the next ten years. Do your best."
In that case, the next chance to leave here may be ten years from now.
The princess missed her father and queen very much, and was naturally unhappy to hear this.
She thought for a while and said, "Why don't you say I was wrong this time?"
Doctor Sharp Fish said, "You are not right. But it is also true. This is the fifth time. To reward you, you can ask me a question. Also, you can move freely in the Junction Sea in the future, but you cannot go anywhere else." Place to go.”
"Why?"
"Is that the problem?"
"No! No!" The half-fish princess waved her fins repeatedly to deny. "What I'm asking is 'What are you?'"
"I refuse to answer that question. Find another one."
"Why? Can I not answer the question?" The half-fish princess's eyes widened.
Doctor Sharp Fish said, "You asked two more questions, and I answered the first one, 'This is for your own good.' Well, I've finished answering the questions." Then he locked the princess back in the small room.
Time passes day by day.
Doctor Sharp Fish's attitude is very strange. Except for those key points, he can be said to tell everything he knows.
The half-fish princess knows more and more, which makes her very happy, but there is no hope of solving the mystery of the doctor's friend's identity and returning home, which makes her very depressed.
Fortunately, she can go to the junction sea to relax, so the half-fish princess won't feel too depressed.
She once wanted to find the whale that helped her, and she wanted to find a messenger to send a message to her family.
But for some reason, the junction sea became much more desolate than before. The princess neither found the whale nor sent the letter.
Ten years have passed.
The half-fish princess's medical skills became more and more exquisite.
"You can cure most eye diseases. Your eyesight is also getting better and better." Doctor Sharp Fish praised.
Her character gradually became calmer.
The next year will be the fifteenth year since we came to the Junction Sea.
no progress. The princess didn't answer the question correctly.
Sixteenth year. The princess still didn't answer the question correctly.
The half-fish princess struck up a conversation with the doctor's friend. The doctor's friend told her to "get lost."
Nineteenth year.
still.
The half-fish princess knew that when her eyes were healed, there were things on the table that were not allowed to be touched. It was the head of the whale that helped her lead the way.
Her eyes were healed by smearing whale blood.
Twenty-three years.
Still, but slightly better. The princess seemed to be able to see some hazy features on the doctor's friend's head.
So she got another question.
This time the princess asked "What am I?"
Dr. Sharpfish said "You are my friend."
The days passed quickly.
Thirty years.
One month before my doctor friend came.
Dr. Sharpfish failed to get up in the morning. He is old. He has aged unusually fast and has become an old man, his body getting weaker and weaker.
This is not normal and looks like a disease.
Strangely, doctors were helpless about their disease.
What's even more strange is that he doesn't seem to be anxious about it, he just gets weaker day by day.
The princess could not detect any known disease in him either.
The night before the doctor's friend came.
midnight.
The half-fish princess takes action.
She sneaked into Dr. Sharpfish's room and lifted the mask off his face.
She saw a face without skin and flesh.
A skeleton.
The Half-Fish Princess subconsciously looked inside the mask, trying to tell if Doctor Sharp Fish's mask had been worn for too long and her face was stuck to it.
Doctor Sharpfish snorted.
The princess quickly put the mask back on his face and fled back to her little room.
The doctor didn't chase him out.
I don't know why, the princess was not frightened, but felt a little sad. Dr. Sharpfish's face also felt a bit familiar to her.
The next day it was time for the doctor's friend to arrive.
Doctor Sharp Fish didn't come out to welcome guests for a long time.
The half-fish princess went to call the sharp fish doctor and found him motionless and dead.
The princess went out of the bedroom.
The doctor's friend is already waiting in the living room. Today he is covered with a tablecloth on the table.
The princess picked up the tablecloth and looked up.
Doctor Sharpfish is dead, and no one can stop her from doing this.
"You are the secret devil," she said to the tablecloth.
"Correct answer. As expected of you. You saw through me so quickly." Tablecloth laughed strangely.
There is a huge mirror embedded in the high ceiling.
The princess saw that the tablecloth in her hand - the doctor's friend - had changed in the mirror.
It presents a soft, flowing black shadow with white edges.
She looked in the mirror where she originally stood.
There was only one big, scary golden eye.
