Heroic Death System [BL]

Arc 7: I Am Not A Merman (IV)

The plane hitting Star Record Marine Life Rescue Base quickly caused a sensation online. It was not because of the crash itself, nor was it because it had hit a Marine Life environmental protection agency. Instead, it was because many survivors claimed that they were rescued by a large 'fish'.

There were all together one hundred and seventy-six passengers on the plane. Among them, one hundred and twenty-one survived because their life-saving cabins remained intact. The other fifty-five passengers had their cabins damaged and were swept away into the ocean. Even if they were strong at swimming, they were disoriented and injured and so were struggling to hold their heads above the water. But in the end, forty-seven of them that were rescued. A plane crash as severe as that with only eight victims was no doubt a miracle.

After the crash, the memories were still fresh in the minds of the survivors. But because they were in too much of a panic at the time, and it was rather dark, few actually saw the complete figure of that large 'fish'.

As such, the rest of the survivors were skeptical. Some even attacked the news, saying they were writing false news and mocking them that they were willing to go so low just to draw readers.

However, not long afterward, a video was released online confirming the authenticity of the news. It was the entire course of events during which Flames rescued people, caught on the underwater cameras. It braved the wind and waves, saving those who fell into danger. That graceful and powerful body emitted a faint blue light and left a beautiful glowing trail while it swam in the dark seawater.

Viewers were moved beyond words when they saw that Flames had been attacked by the victims–nearly killed by one of them.

A 'fish' possessing enough intelligence to actually save people. But what kind of fish is it? It didn't take long for people to start asking questions and analyzing the footage. Some speculated it was a mutated shark, going by its dorsal fin, but a shark would never actively rescue people.

This question did not last long, someone quickly gave the answer. This organism was not a fish, but an aquatic mammal called a 'dolphin', a creature that had gone extinct over two hundred years ago. They were intelligent and full of emotions, once holding an intimate relationship with humans.

Once the answer was announced, everyone was sent into an uproar. This was a dolphin? They went extinct two hundred years ago? Everyone immediately started to search for information on dolphins, but they were a relic of history with very little information on them left online. Only a few images and a simple introduction guide could be found.

As such, they turned their attention onto Star Record. This dolphin appeared near a Star Record base, so no one would believe it if someone said there was no connection.

Dr. Cui consulted Qin Yun's opinion, who agreed, "Release a portion of the videos."

Flames' existence was already made public, so there was no meaning to hiding its existence any longer. Allowing more people to know it and protect it is not necessarily a bad thing.

After obtaining Qin Yuan's permission, Star Record uploaded a video of Flames' and Waves' daily life onto their website.

Diving dolphins, jumping dolphins, smiling dolphins, spoiled dolphins, clingy dolphins, dancing dolphins... they showed all sorts of emotions and were amusing and cute.

The moment the video was publicized, the view count shot through the roof. In just a few hours, they more than quadrupled their record number of visitors. Waves of comments almost drowned the website.

【My god, there was actually such a cute animal in this world. I really want to keep it!】

【I only liked dogs and cats before, but now, I've decided to become Flames' and Waves' ultimate fan!】
