I blinked my eyes in disbelief, and the mark disappeared again, which made me suspect that I was hallucinating, so I went closer to check the window carefully, and wiped the cold glass. There is indeed nothing there, only intertwined rain marks.
I'm probably really overtired.
I rubbed my forehead and watched the wind and rain outside the window intensify. I am very clear that the best situation in this weather is to stay indoors. Going out will not help the sailors, and it will only increase the risk of falling into the sea. At this time, my mind was still in a dream, and I didn't have any energy to think about other things. I lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
I fell asleep for a while, and was suddenly woken up by a gust of clammy cold wind. When I opened my eyes, I found that the cabin was gloomy, and the sky was gloomy like those evenings when Moscow was on the verge of the polar night. It was dark red, as if soaked in blood. The window in front of the desk opened at some point, and the bitter sea breeze blew into the room.
I sneezed, got up quickly and closed the window, and subconsciously looked up at the luminous clock on the wall above my head.
Only half an hour has passed, how come the weather has become like this
I thought strangely, and turned on the lamp on the table. The reflected light was reflected on the glass surface of the clock. My eyes glanced back inadvertently, but they were fixed there as if they were stuck.
The glass clock face reflects the position behind me. In the shadow behind the door, there is a black shadow hidden, and two faint lights are looming.
My adrenaline surged to the limit in an instant, and my hairy bone stood up.
The mermaid is actually in my house.
My breath seemed to be lost, and my body seemed to be glued in place. I could only hear the mermaid's whisper from the throat getting closer and closer. The desk lamp flickered a few times and made a hissing sound. Back into the darkness again, a damp smell was already close at hand.
"De... sah... row..."
The syllable seemed to be calling my own life, and a wet webbed claw rested on my shoulder. I shuddered suddenly, my body was faster than my mind, I jumped up while holding on to the table, and at an agility I never had before, I pushed open the window and flipped onto the deck outside.
"Guys! Help! Somebody!"
I stumbled and ran in the rain and fog enough to blind my sight, but I didn't see a trace of a sailor, and even the Rhine disappeared. The dim light in the captain's cabin flickered on and off, which was very strange. I seemed to be in a ship. On the ghost ship, I was the only one in the huge three-story cabin.
And, of course, the ghostly mermaid.
"De... sah... Row..."
The mermaid's low voice like a curse came through the wind and rain, chasing after my hearing like a shadow. I'm sure he really called my name. How did he know, my goodness!
Although the mermaid didn't seem to have any intention of hurting me before, in this situation, I couldn't help but feel fear. Facing a mermaid injected with anesthesia is completely different from a mermaid moving freely on land! I must get a tranquilizer gun immediately to avoid possible attacks by the mermaid, let alone let him go back into the sea.
I tried my best to stabilize my pace on the shaky deck, rushed straight towards the captain's cabin, and climbed up the steps leading to the second-floor cabin, but in a panic, my foot slipped and I fell down out of control! But at the next moment, the expected pain did not come, I only felt a sudden wind blowing behind me, some resistance blocked my back, my waist was engulfed, and my body was suspended in the air, but it was only a second, and then Pressed against a long, thick, slippery, scaly thing.
I immediately propped myself up and wanted to escape, but as soon as I turned over, I was blocked by a black shadow above me. As soon as my waist tightened, I was strangled by a wet and cold palm. Struggling to sit up, he backed up the steps, but his legs were tightly wrapped by his tail.
The mermaid half-bent forward and pressed forward inch by inch, and soon surpassed me. His wet long hair dragged like seaweed on my arms, neck, and head in the rainstorm, and finally covered my sight in a shadow. The rain almost made it impossible for me to breathe. I blinked my eyes to make my vision clearer, but I still felt that my eyes were messy.
Blurred, the mermaid's pale face came down from the hair, close to my collarbone, its claws grabbed my arm, its head lingered on my upper body, as if carefully sniffing my scent, Suddenly his lips pressed against my chest, and I felt the front of my body, which was already drenched and attached to my body, tense up, and there was a tearing sound.
I flicked my hair, frowning in panic to shake off the water on my dry eyelids, staring at the mermaid's actions, my heartbeat was so violent that I was about to burst out of my body.
God, what on earth is this mermaid trying to do!
Right now, the mermaid showed her white fangs, biting my shirt open, staring at my bare upper body, her eyes wandering around, as if she was examining something carefully.
I stood on the stairs, my breathing trembled, my chest heaved violently, and I stared at him nervously, not knowing what was strange about me that attracted the mermaid's attention. The mermaid squinted his eyes and glanced around, as if he was just making sure that the upper body of his prey was unharmed, then moved his claws to the edge of my trousers and grabbed my belt, as if his lower body was also ignited. Interested.
"etc!"
I screamed and pressed the back of his hand tightly with my loosened hand. The mermaid looked down, and then his eyes focused on my hand. It seemed that something caught his attention, and then I realized something.
——The wound on the back of my hand hit the bathroom wall has not yet healed. At this time, it was cracked due to strenuous activity, and blood was gurgling.
The merman was looking for my wound, he smelled blood, just like a shark.
At this moment, I even had the feeling of encountering a great white shark in the sea, thinking that I would definitely die in the next moment, but the reason remaining in the fear made me feel a little lucky about the unusual behavior of the mermaid. He used me as food, but why didn't he attack me directly
Maybe it's because mermaids are used to tasting their prey. All the biological knowledge stored in the brain seemed to be useless in the face of a creature full of mystery and unknowns like a mermaid, and only one voice remained in my heart shouting: No! I don't want to die in such pain!
Watching helplessly as the mermaid grabs my wounded hand and gets close to his open lips, I curl up my fingers desperately, unable to make a sound in fear, thinking that I will be bitten off in the next second finger.
However, the mermaid just gently encloses my fingertips with his fangs, and licks my wound with his tongue. His claws pinched my palm firmly, but the licking was very gentle. I could feel his sharp teeth carefully controlling the strength so as not to hurt me.
I looked at his face in astonishment, and for a moment I had the illusion that I was making too much fuss, as if my heart that was about to jump out of my throat was held high in my throat by his sharp claws at the same time, hanging there.
I tried my best to persuade myself to calm down, maybe the mermaid was expressing friendship, because I healed his wound, and now he heals me with his unique behavior, just like the legendary mermaid's repayment.
But I couldn't convince myself at all.
The mermaid raised her eyebrows, lowered her head, but raised her eyelids, staring at me intently.
Under his long wet eyelashes, there is an unconcealable evil and aggression, the intensity of licking becomes more and more greedy, and the scarlet tongue gently curls between each of my fingers like a snake, as if deliberately Playing with my fingers, a strange tingling sensation seems to be burrowing into the blood vessels along the fingers...
The beautiful scene in the hallucination suddenly appeared in my mind, and I even witnessed the wet and muscular upper body of the mermaid, which is no different from that of a man, so close, so I maintained even the superficial calm no matter what.
I put my feet on the steps and tried to pull my hands away from his mouth impatiently, but my wrists were gripped by pliers-like strength. My strength only tortured myself, but even though I didn’t let go To coerce me, the mermaid clenched her teeth as if threatening me, and finally stopped this weird behavior.
It was only when his lips moved a little away that I noticed an incredible change in my wound: there was no trace of the open wound, only some blood remained on the back of my hand.
The mermaid is really harmless, he is healing me, and he healed me! Mermaid saliva contains something that can make damaged cells regenerate quickly, my goodness, this is simply a huge biological miracle!
Even though I witnessed this fact with my own eyes, I still feel unbelievable. The fear was left behind, and I was so excited that I couldn't help but reach out and touch his lips, sighing to myself: "You are such a wonderful existence..."
The mermaid grinned slightly, her throat made a low vibration as if responding to me: "A...ga...ras..."
"A...ga...ras..." I subconsciously repeated eagerly, trying to seize the rare opportunity to communicate with him: "You have a name, right, Agares, is this your name?"
The mermaid neither denied nor admitted, just stared at me, the corners of her mouth widened, as if excited. I guessed that he didn't understand what I was saying, so I had to draw conclusions secretly. Name your own research object, which is a must for every research topic.
"Aga..."
I tried to keep the conversation going, but got stuck on his next move. Agares turned his head, pressed his lips against the inside of my wrist, his nose sucked my smell deeply, and sniffed his upper arm along his forearm, like a hopeless drug addict. I was so frightened that I laid my back on the steps, was tightly pressed by his body, and put my head on my neck and made a low voice: "D...e...sah...row...Mai...raid..."
This time, I was absolutely sure that he pronounced all the syllables of my real name and nickname, and even the special tongue sound in the middle was accurate and word-for-word.
The torrential rain suddenly became heavier, and the rain fell violently. Apart from fear, I was even more shocked, because I really couldn't figure out what kind of creature a mermaid was. I thought my known conclusion was completely wrong.
Thinking of this, my body suddenly lightened, and I was hugged by the mermaid hanging in the air. He grabbed my waist with one hand and kept his balance with the other. He slithered across the deck like a snake, and quickly moved towards the guardrail. My instinct was that he wanted to go back to the sea and take me there! Before I had time to think about the purpose of the mermaid doing this, I instinctively kicked and kicked: "No, Agares, don't do this!"
However, doing so was of no avail. Just as he was about to approach the guardrail, I suddenly heard a gunshot from a distance. A few times, a circle of water splashed on the flooded deck a few meters around.
I was startled, Agares stopped instinctively, let go of my hand, but his tail still curled around my calf, turned his body towards the source of the sound, his eyes instantly became extremely cold. As soon as I looked up, I saw Rhine jumping down from the third-floor platform covered in blood, holding a submachine gun that I didn't know where to get in his hand, aiming at the mermaid's head, and approaching step by step. This posture of holding the gun was clearly professionally trained.
Rhine is... probably trying to kill the mermaid!
I woke up in sudden astonishment. Although I didn't believe that Rhine would do this as a professor-level biologist, the killing aura on his body at this time made me very sure of this, and from his chest Judging from the bloody gash in his body, he had been attacked by Agares, and he definitely had a reason to do so.
Now I would rather Agares jump into the sea immediately, and I would rather lose the opportunity to study the mermaid, than this kind of thing happen.
I waved my hands vigorously, and shouted hoarsely: "Line, Rhine, calm down! You let the mermaid leave by itself, shoot the sea surface, and deter him with gunfire!"
Rhine was unmoved, and the muzzle of the black hole didn't move a single bit, still aiming in the direction of the mermaid, approaching slowly and methodically.
At this time, Agares did not have any so-called biological instincts. His tail supported his body and stood tall, bending his back and looking down at Rhine, like a giant lizard that was provoked by other males during mating , I used my body to form an unbreakable barrier to block me behind.
His sharp claws stretched out side by side, like two serrated scimitars, showing a posture ready to attack, and a long shadow like a devil formed on the deck under the dark light. I am sure that if he attacked it would be a catastrophe.
I was chilling like falling into an ice cellar. He must not be allowed to confront Rhine!
With this resolute thought in mind, I pounced with all my strength, leaped over Agares' fish tail, and stood in front of him with my arms outstretched, shouting, "Rhein, don't shoot, back away!" , go back to the cabin!"
"Get out of the way." Rhine put his hand on the trigger, his expression unprecedentedly serious: "Desaro, this is a military operation."
"What?" I even suspected that there was too much wind and rain, and my hearing had problems, but my heart sank to the bottom, because seeing Rhine's appearance, even if I just guessed, I realized something was wrong.
I faintly smelled a strong, hidden conspiracy. Rhine has been hiding something from me. But at this moment, I don't have the time to think about it, because I'm sure what I'm facing—
Rhine doesn't care about the life and death of the mermaid, what he needs is something else, he won't withdraw his gun, so I have to make a quick, decisive, and immediate decision to prevent what will happen next.
"No, as a biologist, I would never let you shoot a killer fish."
I threw a few words decisively, took a step back, and turned around to hug Agares' body. Although my height could only reach his waist at this time, it was enough to disrupt Rhine's shooting. The hull shook very badly, I stumbled and pushed Agares into the sea forcefully, he picked up my waist, put his arms in front of his chest, and bent his whole body backwards in an arc, I felt that the center of gravity was falling into the sea with him, so I couldn't help covering my mouth and nose.
There was a loud bang, and my thighs suddenly became hot, and a sharp pain hit me. I was so stimulated that I bent my knees violently like a cramp, and my whole leg was in spasms. Agares' body was also shaken, and the tendency to fall backwards was short, and the tail of the fish twisted down. Then, there was another sound of bullets whistling, hitting my shoulder right on the side, and a jet of ink The blue liquid spurted out, and his arm trembled. The claws grabbed my clothes tightly, as if struggling to grab me, but finally let go trembling.
I rolled down on the deck all at once, and the severe pain in my thigh made me half-kneel down, watching a rapid line tear open the rain curtain and hit Agares on the tail of the fish, causing him to curl up suddenly, Prostrate in front of me. The blue liquid dripping from his body was mixed with the rainwater and merged with my blood, forming a poisonous color.
No matter how powerful a species is, it is always no match for the weapons created by humans. How powerful, how ridiculous, how ignorant, how cruel!
I gritted my teeth and endured the severe pain, struggling to defend Agares with my body. I believe that my life is at least a little bit valuable to Rhine, and I can only believe so.
Agares was lying in a pool of blue blood, curled up, and the fish tail pressing on my calf was twitching slightly. The dark eyes behind his hair were weakly half-closed, staring at me deeply, motionless. That kind of look is very strange, neither fear of despair, nor the evilness before, but as if he wanted to engrave the scene at this time and my appearance in his memory, and then slowly closed his eyelids.
And I also felt a strong sense of numbness hit my nerves, my whole body was on the verge of falling, and I felt blackness in front of my eyes.
"It's just a narcotic bomb. Sorry, if you don't do this, the mermaid will take you to the deep sea."
One second before my consciousness disappeared, I heard Rhine's voice approaching, and as soon as I lightened my body, I was lifted off the ground by a pair of hands.
