Animal Detective

Chapter 353, Stage Three: Take Me Away

Two hundred or so, and it's measured in kilograms, so it's not easy to deal with.

Shen Xin got ashore in a somewhat disheveled state.

Yueyue even rushed ashore, calling out to Shen Xin repeatedly.

【like】

I like you, my foot!

Shen Xin glared at him, annoyed.

On the other side, Moon Treasure and Star Treasure had clearly entered the same state, drifting aimlessly on the water.

And the poor little thing, still puffed up from fright, floats angrily on the water.

Having failed to get what she wanted, Yueyue's favorability rating stopped increasing, and she returned to the water, floating on her back with her head sticking out.

The weapons have all been revealed.

Shen Xin couldn't look directly at him, and Chen Sili next to him also looked embarrassed, spreading his hands and saying, "I told you, dolphins are especially lewd."

Shen Xin nodded in agreement, having witnessed it firsthand.

However, it's an animal, driven by instinct, so there's not much we can say about it.

They are at the top of the marine food chain, with no worries about food and water, and are smart enough that they don't reproduce after they've eaten their fill. They can't exactly go to work, can they?

Seeing the three dolphins each enjoying themselves, Shen Xin pointed to the pool and asked if there would be any problems with this.

Chen Sili previously said that after they enjoyed it, they recovered quickly and had no problems at all.

But the scene before me felt a little too intoxicating.

"It's okay."

Chen Sili shook his head, went into the water, and fished the poor little thing out.

It got even angrier, its body puffed up, and it pouted, looking incredibly cute.

While Chen Sili was delivering the pufferfish, Shen Xin stared at Yueyue and suddenly realized something.

Shen Xin witnessed firsthand just how absurd dolphins can be.

Could it be that Lin Zenghui drowned before?

In the water, a weight of over 200 kilograms could really crush a person.

Those stories that Yang Zeran made up without any responsibility might actually be true.

Even the bizarre scenarios he previously mentioned could actually happen.

Li Fusen and his colleagues could privately use pufferfish to stimulate dolphins.

Who knows what Lin Zenghui did with dolphins besides using them to pick up girls?

Unfortunately, Hanako is dead, and we'll never know exactly what happened.

Shen Xin called out to Yueyue.

He was already intoxicated and didn't react much.

However, as Chen Sili said, the stimulation disappeared very quickly.

In about ten minutes, the three dolphins returned to normal.

Xingbao and Yuebao swam back and forth at high speed with great excitement.

Yueyue, on the other hand, moved closer to Shen Xin.

【like】

Shen Xin could no longer look him in the eye and gestured for him to get lost.

They couldn't be driven away; they kept circling around Shen Xin.

Shen Xin ignored him and continued working.

Yueyue was watching from the side.

At this point, the effects of entering the second phase should gradually become apparent.

Shen Xin's talent will also influence animals.

Moreover, Shen Xin felt that his talent might be a special way of communicating.

The voice of one's own heart that one hears is absolutely translated through talent.

Otherwise, since humans and animals have different understandings of things, how can they communicate and understand each other?

Just like now, Shen Xin kept hearing Yueyue's inner thoughts.

Stop doing it.

He seemed to understand what Shen Xin was doing, and then, with the help of his talent, he transformed it into information that Shen Xin could understand.

Play with me

[More]

【like】

【play】

Yueyue came over and bit Shen Xin's arm, which was holding the brush, to stop him from working.

In the second stage, the higher the favorability rating, the more of Shen Xin's inner thoughts she can hear.

However, Yueyue only has 4 points of favorability, which is not high, but his inner thoughts are like a chatterbox, popping out one after another.

[Beat them]

I hate them.

Yueyue was provoked by Yuebao and Xingbao swimming past at high speed and started complaining.

He even invited Shen Xin to join him in a fight.

When Shen Xin rejects and ignores her, Yueyue's favorability rating will drop.

But this time it just falls, instead of disappearing all at once.

Moreover, after dropping a level, he wandered around for a while, then came back and continued to chatter with Shen Xin.

Then the favorability rating went back up on its own.

Shen Xin wondered if this change was related to the dolphins being intelligent enough and having self-awareness.

Anyway, for people like Da Mei, once they reach the second stage, the increase in favorability becomes very slow.

It can get stuck.

Just like Da Mei, she's currently stuck at stage 2, level 8, and hasn't changed in a long time.

Unable to speak in the water, Shen Xin took advantage of a break from work to float to the surface and wave to Yueyue.

He ran over immediately.

"nod."

Shen Xin nodded to himself.

【nod】

Yueyue immediately followed suit.

“Shake your head.”

Yueyue learns it in no time.

Shen Xin was secretly amazed; this person had a very strong learning ability.

If someone is already intelligent enough, and their talent further influences their intelligence, will they truly reach the level of a human?

For example, they can communicate without any obstacles.

Shen Xin tried to communicate with Yueyue, for example, by asking him what he liked.

【ball】

He spoke about the ball first.

He changed his words again.

【Hanako】

I like Hanako.

Shen Xin's eyes lit up; Yueyue still remembered Hua Zi.

It seems they really do have long-term memory.

Hanako is dead.

[Unhappy]

To Shen Xin's surprise, Yueyue is now able to understand the concept of death.

When he said he was unhappy, he really reacted with sadness, letting out a mournful cry.

But the next moment, he threw himself into Shen Xin's arms.

His gentleness was unbearable.

I like you

It's obvious he's fallen for someone else.

Shen Xin pushed him away and continued talking to him about other things.

This kind of communication can increase goodwill.

Moreover, during their interactions, Shen Xinzhen discovered that dolphins have very rich emotions.

For example, Yueyue showed dislike for her current living environment.

They said the pool was too small and they couldn't swim freely.

He said he didn't like performing because there were too many people and the noise was too loud, he hated it and wanted to die.

Shen Xin glanced at him and quickly comforted him.

The information I saw before mentioned that dolphins are auditory animals with extremely well-developed hearing.

It is said that it can hear the sound of human blood flowing from thousands of meters away.

Some humans capture dolphins by using noise to drive them away.

During the Dolphin Bay show, there are not only many people, but also loud music, which is a huge noise to the dolphins.

Leave here

Yueyue nuzzled against Shen Xin, emitting a soft moan.

[Walking with you]

At this moment, Yueyue's eyes were particularly lively, conveying complex emotions that greatly shocked Shen Xin.

【May I】

The favorability rating has increased by 1 bar, reaching 7 bars.

That speed is terrifying.

Shen Xin was stunned.

At this moment, Shen Xin felt that he was not communicating with a stupid animal that survived solely on its life instincts, but rather with a vibrant individual with independent self-awareness.

So Shen Xin didn't know how to answer. If he simply said yes, then he would feel guilty if he couldn't do it and lied to him.

"No, this is your home."

Shen Xin shook his head.

Disappointment was clearly visible in Yueyue's eyes.

This is not my home.

He leaped backward and sank to the bottom of the pool in an instant.

Shen Xin was stunned, then felt a headache coming on; he figured his favorability rating was about to drop completely.

They quickly went into the water to check.

Yueyue seemed angry and depressed, shrinking into a corner at the bottom of the pool.

The favorability icon above his head is still there, still at 7 bars.

However, as soon as Shen Xin got close, he immediately moved away.

There was no way Shen Xin could catch up with his speed.

Left with no other choice, Shen Xin had to return to shore.

If this were Da Mei, she would never have said "Take me away" to express her true feelings; she would have just asked what to eat today.

Shen Xin recalled the case that Yang Zeran had mentioned before.

It is said that dolphins can indeed fall in love with humans, and then choose to die for love after the humans leave.

Shen Xin gasped.

Could Yueyue be planning a suicide pact?

The problem is, he's a male dolphin.

Shen Xin scratched his head hard, feeling a headache coming on.

If things continue like this, my favorability rating will probably drop to zero by tomorrow.

But no way.

This was the first time Shen Xin had ever encountered such an intelligent animal.

There were no precedents before, and I had no idea what Yueyue would become under the influence of her talent.

With a sigh, Shen Xin slung the oxygen tank over his shoulder and continued working.

Since the shallow water area was small, Shen Xin helped Chen Sili finish the deep water area.

Throughout the entire process, Yueyue kept her distance from him.

It seems they are truly disappointed.

They didn't finish their work until almost nine o'clock.

Shen Xin glanced at the pool. Yuebao and Xingbao had already rested, and Yueyue was submerged at the bottom of the water and could not be seen.

Shen Xin shook his head slightly, deciding to stop thinking about it.

What can I do? Can I really leave with Yueyue?

Such expensive animals, even aquariums wouldn't allow it.

Most importantly, he is a male dolphin.

Shen Xin shuddered inexplicably, picked up the oxygen tank, and followed Chen Sili.

Shen Xin didn't notice that after he turned and left, a head popped out of the water.

the next day.

Shen Xin arrived at the Municipal Bureau while yawning.

"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well?" Ding Yuwei asked with concern.

Shen Xin nodded: "I had a nightmare."

On the other side, Zhao Tianxing said, "You go to the aquarium for paid vacation every day, and you still have nightmares. If you can't take my place, then you can switch with me."

Shen Xin ignored him, thinking to herself that playing with dolphins could also give her nightmares.

Just then, Yang Zeran arrived.

"You're late," Shen Xin reminded him, tapping his watch.

I was a full two minutes late.

Yang Zeran quickly rolled his eyes, sat down, and asked Shen Xin how things were going.

"do not know."

We had entered the second stage and could have started reenacting the scenario.

But dolphins are very special creatures.

Every morning is like opening a blind box; who knows if his favorability rating will drop completely overnight.

Especially after what happened last night.

Yueyue was clearly angry and was ignoring him.

"come on."

Yang Zeran patted Shen Xin on the shoulder.

He was even more anxious than Shen Xin.

After briefly reviewing the details of another case, Shen Xin set off alone for the aquarium.

Upon entering the dolphinarium, I bumped into Li Fusen.

"morning."

Li Fusen greeted them and thanked Shen Xin for staying the night before to help clean the pool.

Shen Xin was concerned about the blind boxes, so after a brief chat, he went to check on Yueyue.

Upon arriving at the pool, Wang Hui was feeding Yuebao and Xingbao.

Chen Sili was also there, holding a fish, about to feed Yueyue.

But Yueyue floated on the water's surface, seemingly oblivious.

Upon seeing Shen Xin, Chen Sili's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly beckoned Shen Xin over, saying, "Shen Xin, why don't you do it? I feel that Yueyue is especially close to you now. Look, when I try to feed him, he won't eat anymore."

After saying that, I felt a little awkward.

She had raised Yueyue for over a year, but the relationship she had developed was not as good as the one Shen Xin had built in just a few days.

Shen Xin took a closer look and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, I lost favor with them.

Fortunately, not all of them fell off.

Currently, the relationship is at stage two with three levels of affection.

"Yueyue".

Shen Xin called out.

Yueyue must have heard it, but instead of coming over, she turned around and dived underwater.

It was obvious that she was still angry with Shen Xin.

Shen Xin had no choice but to accept the situation. The same scenario was repeating itself, and Yueyue couldn't afford to be uncooperative.

Continue calling out patiently.

Finally, Yueyue surfaced again, looking at Shen Xin from afar.

Come here.

Shen Xin called out, and Yueyue hesitated for a moment before swimming over.

【Hate】

Shen Xin immediately heard his voice.

While thinking he hated it, he kept rubbing his head against Shen Xin.

Shen Xinren was completely numb; these words sounded so awkward.

After being petted, Yueyue became active and started eating.

After eating, it happily spun around in the water.

【like】

I have no idea what he likes.

At this moment, Li Fusen said from the side, "Officer Shen, to be honest, I think if you were a trainer, you could definitely become the best trainer."

He felt that Shen Xintian had a natural ability to get close to animals.

Shen Xin smiled, and with a wave of his hand, Yueyue rushed into Shen Xin's arms, calling out and nuzzling him to express her affection.

Then, to Shen Xin's surprise, the favorability rating above his head went from 3 bars to... full in one go.

Shen Xin's eyes widened in surprise.

And the next moment, the favorability icon above Yueyue's head changed again after it reached full.

It changed from yellow to red.

This is... three stages?

The next moment, touching Yueyue's icy skin, some strange images surfaced in Shen Xin's mind.

It happened very suddenly.

And the scene was actually of himself being held underwater, and then... leaping...

Shen Xin gasped and shook his head violently.

No, what is this scene?

Is this what Yueyue is thinking about right now?

That means that after entering the third stage, you can not only hear your own thoughts, but also see what the animals are thinking.

Shen Xin's eyes widened. Was his talent really that exaggerated?

At this moment, Li Fusen, who was squatting next to him, also smiled and reached out to touch Yueyue, saying it was a pity that Shen Xin could not stay in the aquarium forever, and that Yueyue would be sad when Shen Xin left.

Yueyue heard this and turned to look at Li Fusen.

I'm so heartbroken.

Or rather, angry.

Shen Xin heard his inner thoughts and said he was angry.

Then, some images appeared in Shen Xin's mind.

It was in the pool, but there was an additional dolphin that was lighter in color.

Then Li Fusen... lay down on it...

This perspective should be from underwater, from the viewpoint of Yueyue observing.

hiss!
Shen Xin gasped again, looking incredulously at Li Fusen beside him who was all smiles.

Wait, what's up with this person?
