All living beings in hell

Chapter 168 - The Whale Carp
The lotus lantern at the door was lit up, and the office welcomed the 120th customer No. [-].

A low cry came from the door with a long tail. The sound was sad and desolate, and it was impossible to tell what kind of creature it was just by the sound.Hearing this sound, I couldn't help getting up and opening the door of the office to look out. I saw a giant gray humpback whale floating in the air, as if floating in the sea.

The humpback whale saw me and wanted to get close to the big tree, but he was so big that if he turned over, he might overturn the big tree.

"Write—write—" the whale called my name.

"Are you my guest?" I answered its call loudly.

"Follow me, follow me."

The whale stopped in the air, like a huge spaceship.I walked from the branch to its fins, the broad, flat fins like the landing stairs of a spaceship.Its skin was rough and slippery, with some barnacles and other parasitic species attached to it, but they were all dried up.Stepping on a dry barnacle is like stepping on a sycamore tree leaf in late autumn, and it shatters into powder with a click.

I climbed onto the back of the whale and sat cross-legged three or four meters behind its breathing port.The whale got up slightly, and the spaceship set sail.

"My lord, forgive me for meeting you in this way. I am too big to enter your office."

"It's all right, it's good to just come out to get some air. What should I call you?"

"Jie Li, I am the soul of a whale."

"I didn't expect that after the whale lost its huge body, its soul would be so huge."

"The size of the body sometimes has to match the shape of the soul. I like the slow heartbeat of whales, good memory, and the chicness when they jump out of the water. My soul was formed after 50 years in the whale I lived in. This look. This is the look I like."

"Jie Li, what do you want to do with me today?"

"I have lived for a long time in my life. For whales, it is a long life. When I am in the sea, my favorite thing is to stick to the bottom of the sea, swim slowly, and look down at the underwater creatures looking up at me. We. If the weather is good, my arrival is always accompanied by a large shadow, which covers the rare sunlight on the bottom of the shallow water area.

Crabs and cubs are lying on their stomachs enjoying the sun, but the fun is taken away by a big cloud.The angry crab raised its pliers and bared its teeth and claws at me, hahaha, it's really interesting. "

"You are swimming in hell now, just like swimming in the sea. No matter where you swim, you will bring a shadow to the ground."

"This place is quite similar to the sea. The difference is that I rarely see the souls of other whales. I often make long calls, hoping to get a response from my companions, but so far I have not encountered other whales.

Sometimes it's lonely.

It was as if I was the only one left in this sea, relatives, family members, lover, all gone.

Not only them, but not even one of their kind.

Quite lonely. "

When Jie Li said this, he let out a low whine along with the words.The wailing sound was melodious and desolate, as if it had touched a certain heartstring in me, and a feeling of sourness filled my chest.

"How did you leave that world?"

"Seawater pollution caused our sonar positioning system to be interfered, and my partners and I were collectively stranded due to my wrong navigation."

"What about your friends? Haven't you come to hell?"

"My mates aren't here, I don't know where they went. Maybe we're all going to different places after leaving the sea, and I just happened to be here."

"You were a pilot whale?"

"I have lived in that sea area for a long time, and I am familiar with everything. That is, in recent years, there have been many strange smells in the sea water, which are pungent and make our eyes and skin very uncomfortable. There are also many shiny metal pieces thrown into the sea, and those that cannot settle down float along the sea water, rust and rot, and the toxins flow into the water.

Garbage from outside the sea is constantly eroding my home, making it impossible for me to hunt with confidence like I used to.If I accidentally eat strange garbage, the transparent thin bag that looks exactly like jellyfish will make me feel uncomfortable for a long time.

Our sonar system has also been severely affected by pollution, and positioning is no longer as accurate as it used to be.

Some whales have eaten garbage, and their voice and hearing have been damaged, making it even more difficult to distinguish their directions.

These are very fatal to our survival, and it also caused me to commit an incident that caused a whole family to die with me..."

"How do you feel about this?"

"I blame myself. I blame myself.

We whales are emotional creatures, and it made me feel like I was doing a terrible job because my mistakes led to the demise of an entire family. "

"Too much environmental change affects your senses. It is not your problem. I was the soul of human beings during my lifetime. I know that since the industrial revolution, we humans have caused irreversible damage to the pollution and fishing caused by a large part of the ocean. For this, as a human being, I am also deeply sorry."

"My lord, you were not an oceanographer during your lifetime, were you? You rarely deal with the sea."

"Yes, not many."

"Humans have the laws of survival of humans, and whales have the laws of survival of whales. The dominance of the laws of human survival threatens the safety of the marine ecological environment. We marine creatures see our homes being ruined for no reason. This is resentment.

In addition to resentment, more at a loss.In addition to resenting what humans do, we actually care more about how to get along with humans better, or coexist.

It is impossible for human beings to disappear from the earth in a short period of time, and we whales may even be extinct earlier than humans.In order to protect ourselves and the earth's ecological environment, we hope to be able to coexist with human beings, but we don't know what we can do. "

"The evolution of species often requires tens of thousands of years of survival of the fittest to form a relatively fixed species. In a short period of time, it should be very difficult to adapt to the environment from biological evolution."

"It's very difficult, very difficult. I have looked for other methods before I was alive, but I still didn't expect death to come one step earlier than the method."

"What method have you been looking for?"

"Since we humpback whales have existed in the ocean, we have relied on sonar positioning to find out our surroundings. This method has allowed us to reproduce without incident for many generations, and until modern times, it has become increasingly unreliable. .

I have thought about whether I can explore other ways to understand or explore the world through my own adjustments?
Maybe it's to enhance the sense of touch, maybe it's to enhance the vision?
I have tried to focus all my attention on the tides of the water, to feel everything in the slight fluctuations in the water.This method is also easy to confuse the public. In contrast, sonar is more reliable.

I haven't found a way to adjust, alas.I really hope my descendants can find their own way to survive. "

The land of hell was shrouded in the shadow of the place where the whale passed by, and all the ghosts on the ground looked up at the giant whale.When Jie Li said this, he couldn't help but screamed, and his sadness penetrated the earth and reflected back from the cracks in the stone.All the ghosts and ghosts also wept bitterly amidst the desolate and long cry.

For a time, the air was also mourning, the ground was also sobbing, sadness penetrated every soul, and washed away the blurred heart.

"If one day the whales disappear from the earth, it will be the end of mankind."

"why?"

"The demise of a huge race is the dissolution of love. Human beings don't know how to love other races, and they don't know how to love themselves. The end of a race that doesn't know how to love itself must be plunder and violence, the depletion of resources and the decline of civilization .

I hope that human beings will not go to the step of collective blind stranding like we did.

We may have to, but human beings always have choices. "

"What is the choice of human beings?"

"Go and explore, before the end comes."

Jie Li returned to the big tree and stopped, and the journey ended.

"I'm very happy to talk to you about this. There are very few humans who can hear our language. If we can often communicate like this, maybe the destruction will not happen."

"Thank you very much for your trust."

"Our trust is natural, and I hope you will not let it down."

I opened my arms and hugged the whale's broad back, feeling its cool body temperature: "Thank you, thank you."

Jieli stretched out its long wings, and I walked back to the branch and looked back at it.Jie Li's eyes were gray, still sad.

"Goodbye, writing—may we all be kind to all beings."

"Goodbye."

The wind blows like a tide, and the whale's huge body rises against the wind.The leaves rustled with the wind, and under the cover of the branches and leaves, I watched Jie carp swim to the distance of hell.
