Chapter 178: Self-Harm

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56
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

    ‘But why don’t I remember these things when I am older?’ Since my grandfather’s death in the shipwreck, I had completely lost my memories. And then I was taken to stay in the city with my parents.From what I recalled, Dicken acted as a guardian figure in my childhood. ‘What an unbelievable fact!’ “Linda…” A hoarse voice came into my mind. The surrounding darkness slowly disappeared. As I opened my eyes again, I returned to the cabin with Dicken. Dicken looked into my eyes with strong emotions. His appearance coincided with the memories of long ago. I felt light-headed by the strange feeling that I had never experienced before. I never expected to have such a close relationship with this merman who appeared out of nowhere in my life. He infiltrated my life and disrupted my reality and life plans. His genes were even present in my body. I could be considered one of his descendants! When I was a child, he took on the role of a father. But now he’s made me his consort in front of

    I stared at Dicken beside the water dungeon while panting heavily. Then I lowered my head awkwardly and whispered, “Dicken, I don’t know how to face you. It’s too complicated. Don’t you think our relationship is kind of strange? I may need time to think about it...” “Linda, lift your head and look at me...”Dicken’s hoarse voice grew louder, and I slowly raised my head as though possessed. His features were sharp, and his gaze looked wicked yet gentle. He looked at me with intense emotion. His eyes were determined and filled with the power he had accumulated over the years. His love was so passionate that it left me gasping for air.“Linda, you are my destiny.” He had a slight grin on his lips. His voice was hoarse but firm like he was stating an unquestionable fact. His long fishtail extended out in front of me. Slowly, the fish fins caressed my chest. They quickly unbuttoned the buttons on my chest. Then, bit by bit, his fishtail rubbed my chest. It occasionally stroked past th

    I bent down and wanted to take Gary’s gun as soon as I saw he could move. But I wasn’t expecting him to react. He snatched the gun and rolled away. Then he leaned against the wall, aiming the weapon at Dicken. I wasn’t thinking about anything at the time. I jumped into the water and stretched my arms out in front of Dicken. Just like the first time I resolved the conflict between Dicken and Gary. Even though I knew my tiny body couldn’t completely cover Dicken’s body, it was the only thing I could do at the time. That was what kept Gary from shooting repeatedly. His fishtail trailed after my body and wrapped itself around it gradually. Dicken supported me and placed me on his chest. His fins shielded my heart completely. His lips gently kissed the back of my neck. I had the impression he wasn’t saying anything. “Linda, you want to protect me,” his hoarse voice said to me. I was taken aback. He was able to communicate with me directly through the nerves in our brains after establi

    Before I realized what Dicken was going to do, he breathed an exceedingly high-pitched cry as sonorous as thunder. The entire cave shook in its wake as he grasped my hips with both his webbed paws, lifting me high into the air. A school of sea fishes suddenly swam out of nowhere in an instant, their bodies shining as they encircled us like birds. At the same time, the merfolk started dancing in excitement, kicking up splashes as they pivoted gracefully, the scales of their tails reflecting radiance amid the darkness just like stars in the night sky, the robust, burly mermen and the beautiful, devilish mermaids interweaving to form a bright river of stars.I stared at the stunned sight, mesmerized, spreading my arms by reflex as if infected. I wanted to embrace my dear leader who had surprised me endlessly, expectant of the new world he would take me to.That was when I heard a quiet voice beneath me. “Linda…”I looked down into his wide, narrow gaze that seemed to embody that rive

    In the previous dimension where I lived, I had already been prepared to live away from the humans with Dicken. I had nothing aside from him, who was always by my side—our connection seemed so unbreakable just then that I believed that to be my fate.However, I still wouldn’t hope that he would keep killing because of me. Looking into his eyes, I pleaded once again, “Could you promise me to spare Baron? Right now, he’s of no threat to you or merfolk. As long as we return to the domain of your race, humans would have nothing to covet—can’t we stay away from those conspiracies? I’ll always be yours, dear leader.”Dicken looked deeply into my eyes as if he was considering my proposal, and remained quiet for a long time before he eventually gathered me in his arms. “I promise, Linda.”“Hey, shouldn’t we be going out now, and don’t you have an announcement to make? Your people are waiting for you.” I exhaled lengthily and patted his back just then.At those words, I suddenly realized t

    That being said, it was no different from me letting myself be taken, because my stubbornness and determination only ever made Dicken want to conquer me even more. We had never been equals, be it fifty years ago or now.One might even say that he wanted me more after losing me once. His desire for me was so strong that he would kill Baron, even though he had granted me rebirth as agreed. After all, he wanted to be my one and only, and no merfolk were allowed to share a single iota of my sentiment. Fuck!I bit my lip, tearing it and tasting blood in my mouth just then, but I couldn’t feel the pain at all.He had suddenly let go of my ankles and gathered in his arms once more, and did so gently. His broad webbed paws caressed my back as if to reassure me, and he did not try to take me anymore.That surprised me, and I opened my eyes and saw that he was staring into my eyes. Then, his eyebrows lowered, he licked the blood on my lips lovingly, seemingly not as furious or agitated as

    In fact, I was more willing to believe that Dicken was exaggerating, since my grandfather had never been out of line as far as I could recall. However, even as I assured myself, I was searching my memory in fear that my grandfather meant me harm—fortunately, I came up with nothing, since all I remembered about him was of him being a kind elder who had taught me to read and played with my younger self. There was no question that he had acted like an elder, and even if Dicken wants to take his place in my heart, it would be in a completely different role, since there would always be a part that he couldn’t replace.“Stop thinking about him now, Linda. He’s merely carrying out a mission I had assigned him, and the reason he didn’t lay a finger on you was because I had restrained him.”Dicken appeared to become angrier as he observed my expression, and his was unusually deep as if he would get furious soon. It left me uncomfortable—Dicken appeared reluctant for another merfolk to stay in

    I suddenly felt a slippery sensation from my waist, and found the mischievous stingray curling into a ball as it hid behind me, seemingly startled by Dicken’s lecherous tongue.“See? You scared it, pervert.” I leaned in, resting the bridge of my nose against his head as I chuckled softly. On the other hand, Dicken pinched the tender flesh on my hip and stroked my back a few times as he watched me lovingly. “I really want to hide you away, Linda…”“Where would you hide me?” I buried my head in his head and sniffed—it was hard to restrain myself with that intoxicating champagne-like scent of his, but I promptly came to my senses as I remembered that fugitive. “Hold on, don’t seduce me or try to divert my attention with sweet words. What’s with that merman who’s saying that he’s going to look for your Yiki?”Dicken patted my head feebly and stayed silent for a while, but eventually admitted, “It’s Baron.”I froze, immediately remembering the furious glare of that merman who had hidd

    “Why would you clothe me out of the blue…” I inhaled deeply, and as I pulled away from his kiss after much difficulty, I asked in confusion, “Are you taking me somewhere?”Dicken looked deeply into my eyes as if something astonishing would soon occur. “Yes… I’m going to announce to my subjects that you’re my mate…”With those words, he threw me over his back and swam out of the cavern filled with stone pillars.Gosh, I was flabbergasted. Still, I soon realized that this was pretty much how it should go, since Dicken had yet to announce about us to his subjects in this dimension. However, I felt a little headache when I remembered how the announcement in the last dimension had gone… He was not going to mate with me in front of everyone again, was he?“Your Majesty…”A high-pitched call suddenly rang from ahead, followed by splashes as a purple figure swam towards us. I was stunned when a face floated out of the water—that purple hair, along with those facial features that were sh

    My eyes welled with tears and my mind went dizzy, while a scorching jet of water shot into my body. That was when I saw a blue light moving downwards from Dicken’s chest to where we were connected, and as innumerable jolts struck all over my body, my heart clenched in the intensive stimulation.For a few seconds, I was unable to breathe as all consciousness and emotions seemed to fuse together, rushing towards the wall that was blocking my memories…Then, the wall shattered. “Linda… Linda…”The familiar voice could be heard as if from the distant horizon, though it soon became clear and ultimately echoed beside my ears, and there was no doubt that he was beside me.“Dicken?” I opened my eyes and found my dear leader. It was as if I had met him once more after a slumber that lasted centuries, and yet I felt him beside me all along, and the memory of him taking this body was extremely distinct.I was at once confused and mystified as the memories from two different dimensions slow

    “Damn it, you crazy animal…” I cried and moaned, my legs that were kicking Dicken’s shoulder caught by him with ease. At the same time, his body continued to press down on me from above like a hill, holding my body firmly down.Dicken’s hoarse voice spoke beside me then. “Don’t move, Linda, or I won’t be able to resist violating you even more violently—you have no idea how delicious you are…”I froze, my breath cut off at his words even as his tongue slithered into my ear and kicked it as if teasing, while his webbed paw groped my breast. A paralyzing sensation that felt electric spread all over my body, slowly easing the bursting pain of being entered. Soon, a familiar yet irresistible exhilaration occupied my senses, and even as I kept gulping, my own spit was welling out the corner of my mouth.Curious, Dicken stared at the edge of my lips and extended his tongue to lick it, as if it were the tastiest raindrops in existence. At the same time, I could feel him entering several inc

    “Don’t be scared…”As Dicken inhaled deeply over my nape, his breathing became heavy and choppy. He twitched as he snuggled up against my back, and I could feel his humongous member flapping against my buttocks, along with its scorching heat. How could I not be scared by the prospect of that thing penetrating me?!I clenched my fist and punched at his tail which was darting between my legs, but he easily grabbed my wrist and suddenly turned around, pinning me beneath himself while his tail slithered between my legs and lifted my buttocks. Losing my balance, I fell sprawled over the reef, and as he gripped my hands to keep them behind myself, tears rolled out of the corner of my eye by instinct as lust and fear suddenly erupted. “No, I’m scared, Dicken… No, you’ll hurt me…”Dicken ignored my plea for mercy, however, and kept leaning on me as he gnawed my shoulder, as if to devour me by one tiny bite after another. The tenderness and adoration he’d shown towards me just now was gone,
