Chapter 404: Mermaid (plus more)

Views:

At the Hope Island Pier, idle workers leaned on the stairs. When they saw a group of guys wearing black sleeves rushing into the most gorgeous Golden Goblin Tavern in the port area, everyone's face showed an expression of gloating.

They had no grudge against the bar owner; they just took pleasure in seeing the rich suffer.

The high-end bar was deserted. As Alia and the three people rushed in, the guests and the strippers immediately evacuated in panic.

The scarlet-haired woman didn't waste any time. She pulled out her gun and put it against the head of a man who was hugging two women.

"Sir, I... I haven't committed any crime! All my liquor has been taxed at customs!! Not a single bottle of smuggled liquor!" the bearded man in a golden jacket said in a panic.

"This stuff is coming out of your sewer! Tell me what it is!" Arya almost shoved the scale into his face.

"Sir, I really don't know! Besides, I haven't committed any crime. Do you think this is a threat to me? And this... what is this green thing? How can we have something like this in our tavern?" The bearded man's expression was very natural, and he didn't look like he was lying at all.

"Karst, don't think that you have forgotten the dirty things you did just because you have been cleaned up. The money you used to open the tavern came from illegal sources. I just didn't want to bother with you before. If you keep hiding it like this, don't blame me for demolishing your tavern!"

Karst looked at the hooded man walking towards him in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party knew his background so well. Obviously, no one on Hope Island would know him so well. "Friend, who are you?"

Dipper took off his hood, and the terrifying fish-man head rushed directly to the tavern owner, "Who am I? I'm fucking Dipper! You ask who I am?"

Karst kept pushing his head back in fear, "Chief Dipper, how is this possible! My goddess! How could you become like this!"

Dipper took the sharp green scale from Alia's hand and stabbed it directly into the opponent's neck. "Stop talking nonsense! Where did this thing come from? If you dare to say another word of nonsense, I will kill you!!"

"Bang!!" The door of the golden fairy's basement was kicked open, the flashlight shone in, and a large water tank appeared in front of everyone.

In the turbid water of the water tank, there was a white creature on the upper body and green on the lower body swimming slowly.

Hearing some noise at the door, it poked its head out of the water. It was the face of a charming young girl. When she saw a large group of people walking into the basement, she waved her hands excitedly.

The bar owner next to Dipper was still trying to defend himself. "Chief Dipper, I just wanted to get a mermaid here to increase popularity. The law of Hope Island only says that slaves cannot be sold, but it doesn't say that mermaids cannot be raised! I haven't broken any laws or committed any crimes."

"Mermaid? This is the first time I've heard of mermaids. They don't eat human flesh, but eat human brains instead."

Dipper raised the gun in his hand and fired directly at the water tank.

As the water tank broke, the mermaid inside rolled in the basement along with the water.

The people from the three places had no intention of showing mercy to the mermaid. They drew their weapons and shot at the mermaid rapidly.

The bullet hit the "mermaid"'s body, but no blood spurted out. Instead, some kind of long, pus-green worms crawled out from inside.

"How disgusting! Kill it quickly! This mermaid is infected by something! Her stomach is full of those worms now!!"

Bullets were fired rapidly at the "mermaid", but the "mermaid" showed no signs of dying. Instead, more and more insects came out of her body.

With a "swish", the part of the "mermaid" that was connecting the body and the fish was completely split into two sections. All kinds of wriggling long worms connected the upper and lower parts together. The mermaid who was so charming just now instantly turned into a horrible and harmful monster.

Pus-green wireworms spurted out of every hole in the mermaid's body like macaroni. They fell into the water and crawled quickly towards Dipper and the others.

The bullets broke them into two sections, and the insects twisted and turned and continued to crawl towards the door.

"Bullets don't work, let's use something harder!"

Standing in front of the raging sea of fire, Dipper felt the wet scales on his body being quickly dried.

However, when he saw the insect curling up quickly in the flames below, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, although this insect eats human brains, its strength is not very strong.

If these things spread throughout Hope Island, it would be a big trouble.

"Prepare to put out the fire. Don't wait until the trouble is solved. It will be troublesome if a fire in the port area is caused."

The people from the three places put down the various tools and relics in their hands and began to prepare to put out the fire.

Karst, who was standing next to him with a sad face, was looking at the situation in front of him. He just realized now that it was no wonder that guy sold it so cheaply, it turned out that there was something wrong with this fishman!

If something like this happens, I'm afraid Deep will be fined again, and the money from both sides will be huge, and this year's work will be in vain.

While he was still thinking about gains and losses, he suddenly felt something in his nose.

He put his fingers in and tapped gently, and Karst seemed to touch something soft.

As his fingers pressed and hooked hard, for an instant, there was a weird and crisp feeling, and he felt as if his brain was about to be hooked out.

When he looked down, he found that the long worm that came out of the mermaid's nose was a long worm. "Ah... This is..."

Before Karst could react, bugs kept spewing out of his mouth, his nose, and any hole in his body.

The bugs seemed to be intelligent, and their first target was Dipper, who had his back to them.

"Boss! Watch out behind you!"

Just as the bugs were about to touch Dipper, his body instantly turned into a dark blue mist.

Dipper turned around quickly, and the dagger in his hand flew up and down, and the long worms were quickly chopped into more than a dozen pieces.

When Dipper arrived in front of Karst, only the wriggling remains of his body remained.

“Save me…” Karst’s eyes were filled with extreme pleading.

But when Dipper saw the white brain fluid left by the worms, he knew that this guy was completely hopeless.

With a quick kick of his right foot, the staggering Karst fell directly into the sea of fire in the basement and merged again with the mermaid.

Dipper didn't waste time in such a place, and shouted to his subordinates behind him: "Quickly seal off this place! No one can go out without my order! He must not be the only one infected with this bug! "
