The Merman, My Man Chapter 188: Survival of the Fittest
“Linda, please call me Professor Bob. I’m delighted to meet you again, my Japanese friend.” Bob’s unsteady eyes stared at me as if wanting to convey a bit of happiness. But instead, his eyes looked like they were twitching, making his face look even more strange.I suddenly felt a rush of anger from being lied to. So, I tightened my fist and questioned him. “Didn’t you die? I saw you on the hospital bed with my own eyes. Your heart stopped beating, and I even saw you being put into a coffin! How are you here now? What more with this group of people?!”As I said this, I remembered that stormy afternoon. I had accompanied the weak Bob and listened to him speak with his dying breath about his desired merpeople. He then looked out the window towards the rolling sea in the storm before letting out his final breath. His closest friends and I held a vigil for him and went to his funeral together…That was why seeing all of this was so strange to me!“Linda, don’t be so brash. What you’re
The Merman, My Man Chapter 189: The Key to Success
Laura laughed mockingly. “There is no straight road to success. However, our conditions now have improved considerably compared to before as we learn from the past.” She extended her arms and said, “Look around us. We have every component to achieve success. We’re only missing one crucial thing, a key. The key to success.”“You all…” ‘Wait, is Laura admitting that they’re the very fascists from World War II?!’Laura didn’t leave me with time to think. She lifted my chin suddenly, and I pushed her hand away in response. But Gary forcefully controlled my neck from behind me and restricted my handcuffed hands simultaneously.My chin was forcefully pinched by sharp nails painted with purple nail polish. “A pretty lady like you who can naturally attract the leader of the merpeople. You are our key, my little genius. You have a lot of secrets, don’t you? But don’t worry, we have a way of making you talk. So it’s best if you listen to us obediently.”“Are you calling me your key?” I gla
The Merman, My Man Chapter 190: Making My Escape
There was a window next to the bed. I saw armed soldiers patrolling the ship’s deck next door as I looked out the window. ‘I have to think of a way to escape. I’ll wait for the soldiers to be at their most exhausted, then think of a way to escape through this window.’As I was thinking, I raised my leg and intended to use my heel to kick against the window forcefully. But my leg felt soft when I raised it. It was as if I was stepping on cotton and could not muster any strength to raise it.I suddenly thought of the pin-prick sensation I had felt before passing out. I was most likely injected with an anesthetic, and right now, the anesthetic hadn’t fully worn off. ‘If I follow the usual time needed for anesthetic recovery, I might still need a few more hours to recover my strength. But I couldn’t possibly wait that long. Who knows when Gary could return!’To make the anesthetic fade more quickly, I had to quicken my body’s metabolism either by excreting urine or sweating out.‘T
The Merman, My Man Chapter 191: The Third Change
As I thought of the intimate relationship I had formed with Dicken, I felt extremely embarrassed. It felt like I had placed Dicken into the position of a voyeur, and he was hiding and observing my reactions.‘I’m guessing Dicken has been harboring similar feelings towards me. He has implanted his bloodline into me and then accompanied me through my youth like a father. And now, he has finally gained possession of me, as if reaping the fruits of his cultivation after many years. And he keeps returning to my heart. At this point, my heart and body all belong to him. I’ve fallen into an inescapable trap.’I finally understood how he felt when I had suddenly appeared in front of him.He was no longer recognized by the youngling he raised by himself, and I had even attempted to seduce him. Even though I had done it for the sake of scientific investigation and merely wanted to retrieve his sperm, from his point of view, there was no difference between that and seduction! And it was during
The Merman, My Man Chapter 191: Counterattack
I slowly removed my hand from the handcuffs while enduring the pain. As I pressed my thumb against the wall and gritted my teeth, I pushed it back into place. This round of pain was even more intense than before. So intense that I almost cried out in pain. But luckily, I managed to bear it while beads of sweat dripped down my forehead.‘Fuck! Fuck!’ I cursed angrily. ‘This should be enough sweat to expel the anesthetic out of my body.’ I exercised my hand, which was red and swollen and nearly rendered useless, took in a deep breath, and propped myself against the surface of the bed as I prepared to stand up.Suddenly, there was the sound of keys unlocking the cabin door behind me, catching me by surprise. I kept cursing in my heart.I turned around and saw Gary appear at the doorway. The moment his gaze fell onto my body, he immediately shut the cabin door behind him.“Linda, what’s wrong? What happened to your eyes and ears?” Gary hadn’t realized that I had freed myself. Instead,
The Merman, My Man Chapter 192: Saving Mary
To be honest, I wanted to kill this demonic Nazi who had destroyed my academic career and my future. However, even as I aimed my gun at his head, I realized that murder was not as simple as it seemed, and that I couldn’t be a cold-blooded killer.My hand was shaking even as I unlocked the gun’s safety and shoved the barrel at his temple. I knew how much trouble this man would be if I didn’t resolve myself to kill him, but I restrained myself because I could hear the occasional movement outside.The soldiers outside would definitely hear it if I fired my gun. Once they rushed in to find that I had killed Gary, they would definitely double their guard on me, and there was no chance for me to escape. Indeed, I felt relief when I realized that I didn’t have to kill. Then, to ensure that Gary would be out for a while longer, I bludgeoned his head heavily with the butt of my gun, before picking up the syringe just now and injecting him with the sedative.“Enjoy your rare moment of respi
The Merman, My Man Chapter 193: A Successful Escape
There was no time. I had to act right then before the sun rose.I judged the distance between the cargo hold and the sea visually. There was several meters worth of deck without any point of cover, and I also had to get over the ship’s scaffolding—crossing it would be very dangerous because it would make me vulnerable to ambushes.I needed a diversion to draw the soldiers’ attention away from here, and night vision was my advantage. With that in mind, I took out my gun and made a gesture to Mary, indicating to her that she must escape right away once I broke the glass. She understood and nodded determinedly, then leaned towards a corner where the bullet wouldn’t hit while awaiting my move.As for me, I hid behind cover so that the patrol couldn’t see me right away, and leveled my gun on the hull of the other ship and pulled the trigger. The shot immediately caused a disturbance on the other ship, with every patrolling soldier mobilizing and barking at each other as they flocked
The Merman, My Man Chapter 194: The Door Opens
I couldn’t resist reaching out to touch the luminous orb, but damp webbed fingers soon grasped my wrist.Mary was staring at it as well, but spoke quietly, “Don’t touch it—you’ll die. Those things are a protective layer that prevents nuclear radiation from destroying the passage.”“Nuclear radiation?” I exclaimed in surprise as I came to immediate realization. “Would you mind elaborating, Mary? I once dreamed about arriving at the merfolk’s planet, and that place… became a mass grave under the sea. Forgive me for asking, but does that have something to do with nuclear radiation as well?”“Yes, it does.” Mary sobbed as she lowered her head miserably. “You’re not from that era, but you would probably be aware of the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan. I tried to take my mother back to the home of the merfolk at the time, but it had fallen as well. Everything you saw was real, and what was once home is now a huge graveyard—just like the citizens of Hiroshima, the merfolk there were instant
