“Give me a reason to accept you, Gary. Please get a doctor for my friend,” I gritted my teeth and said. My eyes were contorted with rage. Gary rubbed his lips on the tip of my nose and breathed an alcoholic odor into my face. The scent almost made me vomit. "Linda, give me a taste of your body first. You know, I have been waiting a long time," He closed his eyes and kissed my ears affectionately. He held my face as if it was a precious jewel. But I didn't have the energy to be disgusted right now. My arms were in excruciating pain from being hung for so long. My arms felt like they were about to dislocate in the next second. I could even hear the cracking of my bones. But he didn’t care about my suffering at all. Instead, he continued to whisper in my ears, “Linda, do you know? You are the only comfort I have on this dirty, chaotic, and disgusting battlefield.” He paused for a minute and began to caress my back. He said, "You have no idea how charming you were when I first to
"Marry you?" I opened my mouth wide in shock. Gary was indeed a lunatic. It was the first time I heard of someone proposing marriage by hanging the other person up and threatening to propose marriage."Yes, marry me," Gary didn’t seem to realize it was a ridiculous joke. Instead, he began to murmur excitedly. He fell into his imagination very quickly, "I can’t wait to make you my bride. Linda, marry me. There’s no turning back. I have secretly found someone to write off your student and identity status. You are no longer a student at Maritime University. You’re a nomad of no nationality. Gradually, you will be forgotten. Following me is the best decision you have made."I was highly stunned as if the lightning had struck me. I only managed to react and understand what Gary meant after a long time. Gary took away my student status. I would not be able to continue my studies at the university. He destroyed my dream. He even erased my existence, removing me from Japan and becoming an in
I took the iron bucket without saying a word and walked into the hatch with it. When my vision cleared up, I realized what Laura meant when she said Dicken was hurting himself. My heart sank upon seeing Dicken. The iron bucket almost fell to the ground. Dicken’s wrists were no longer hung high above his head but had dropped to the height of his shoulder. He dragged the iron chains that were as thick as my wrist above him by force. A few deep ligature marks on his wrists caused by the iron chains were spotted. His bones were probably fractured and his flesh was exposed. The blue blood had solidified into a thick solid stuck between his wrists and handcuffs. “Linda.” Dicken fixed his eyes on me when I came in. The iron chains shook as he spoke, “Linda… I...” he stuttered. He seemed to want to express something but had no idea what to say. I suddenly understood everything. He had heard the conversations between Gary and me. Gary, the psychopathic indeed let Dicken listen to everyt
I held his wrists with care. Dicken uttered a low grunt. God knew how agonizing it was. I was heartbroken, but all I could do was look at his wounds. I slowly peeled away the new tissues stuck to the handcuffs, allowing the newly grown tissues to return to the exposed bones. I stuck out my tongue and meticulously licked all of his wounds, not missing a single one. Healing both of his webbed claws was not a simple task. When both of his wrists were clotted with a transparent layer, I was already sweating from tiredness. Then I finally realized a wet and lubricant thing seemed to be licking my chest. I lowered my head and looked. I didn’t know when Dicken rolled me up with his fishtail. He buried his head in my chest. He looked shy, fluttering his eyelashes, and seemed charmed by my body. He appeared to be aware that I was watching him. He cocked his head to look at me. A lovely arc formed at the corners of his mouth. My heartbeat abruptly skipped a beat. A hot sensation rushed fro
I could only struggle and roll away from his fishtail. He leaned forward and seemed to grab my body, but the handcuffs prevented him from doing so. As he dragged, the chain rattled. “Dicken, stop moving. You’re hurt. Will you listen to me?” I screamed nervously. I grabbed his pointed ears to prevent him from moving. I approached him and whispered, “Calm down. Someone is watching us.” Dicken raised his head and precisely located the surveillance camera. He was immediately in a bad mood. His long fishtail slid past my side and surged up into a powerful wave. Before I could see what he was doing, the iron bucket I had brought in earlier had already been raised into the air and directly hit the surveillance camera. On the surveillance camera, sparks flew. I assumed it had been broken. “Haha…” The king of destruction grinned, raised his eyebrows, and stared at me. He laughed as if he were a child playing pranks on others. Then he rolled me up with his fishtail again and drew me in f
I almost forgot to breathe while staring at the scene. I looked around as if I was a child who had never seen the outside world. When I turned to see what was under my feet, I was taken aback. I was completely frozen and chilled from the thing beneath my feet. I was at a loss for words to describe the situation at hand. The thing beneath my feet was a massive cemetery, only that it was under the sea. Countless mermen corpses were stacked together between the corals. They were piled up one by one beneath my feet, and they were frozen like statues. Their skin was pale and stiff. Their once-beautiful scales were no longer gleaming. Some of their fishtails were curled, others were straight, and still others were in a jumping position. It was as if the burning lava from the volcano eruptions had solidified them. Some of them blinked open their eyes and gazed up at the sky. They appeared sad and lonely. My heart was immediately occupied by fear. Various merfolk corpses lay beneath the
I couldn’t help but scream. Everything in front of me began to distort again like I was caught in a vortex. My body was swallowed by a powerful force, and I was then surrounded in darkness… My body became extremely light, like a feather in the air. My vision gradually became clearer. Just as I thought I was returning to reality, I was taken aback by the scene in front of me.I was floating like a ghost on the ceiling of a baby room. I noticed a black-haired baby in the crib. She appeared pale and ill. Her small veins were linked to the infusion tubes. She was too ill and seemed to die the minute she was born.She blinked her big silver eyes open and looked up, intrigued. I thought she was looking at me at first, and I even reached out to greet her, but she ignored my greeting. Then she turned her head to the side. She was staring at the person coming in through the door.It was an elderly gentleman with gray hair and beards. From above, I looked at him. My heart was immediately fi
“Little one,” At this point, my grandfather abruptly spoke up. With a kind expression on his face, he looked down at me. “Sorry, my poor Linda,” he said, holding my little hand in his palm. The merman’s genes can keep you alive. I want you to live. I hope you don’t hate me if you find out later,” Grandfather said softly, his voice sounding hoarse and helpless.‘This was to me keep me alive?’ I was angry at the time because of their method but stunned now. When Dicken’s genes entered my body, I saw firsthand how my pale face turned a healthy red.‘So they did all of this to save my life?’I felt better after realizing that my grandfather did not do this to me because of Dicken. I took a deep breath in and exhaled deeply. The scene in front of me then began to shift once more.My body continued to fall. In the blink of an eye, the dark blue ocean appeared. I was suspended about a meter above the sea.When I turned around, I saw someone I recognized. Dicken, the handsome face, lowere
