The Merman, My Man Chapter 250: You’ve Changed
Meanwhile, Gary kept scanning out of the window for a long while, lowering his gun hesitantly when he found nothing. “I’ll take a look outside. Stay here, and don’t move around.”However, my gaze was drawn to the darkness outside, and I was unable to hear him. Upset, Gary grabbed me by the chin and turned me towards him, intent on getting an answer—but that was when I saw a ‘hand’ over his shoulder. Strictly speaking, it was a black, shriveled webbed paw of a merman. The rotten human face from before slowly manifested, its two hollow eyes beneath its drenched seaweed hair staring fixedly at me. “T-There’s something behind your back!” I cried out in terror even as my head went numb. The lights above me flickered as I yelled, dying out in an instant and leaving the cabin in utter darkness. Though it was a fluorescent green to my vision, it only made the scene appear more frightening.I watched as the paw suddenly grabbed Gary by the neck, lifting him into the air with ease and pull
The Merman, My Man Chapter 250: This is My Fate
“But that doesn’t mean that I would give up on winning your favor.” Gary raised a hand to stroke my cheek, only for me to slam the handle of my gun into his head, and grab him by the hand instead to keep him standing. Despite the pain in my lower body which limited my movement, I couldn’t care less—I needed to reach Mary soon, or this ship would end up no different than the Seeker.I realized that the entire ship’s power had been cut when we stepped out of the cabin to the deck. There wasn’t a single light on the ship, just as there wasn’t anyone to be seen aside from me and Gary. It was unusually silent and every corner of the ship was eerie like a ghost ship sailing across the vast oceans, devoid of the cries of seagulls or even the splashes of waves against the hull.We might have been caught within another illusion—an otherworldly nightmare. We carefully walked ahead, sticking to the ship’s bulkhead so that we wouldn't lose our way in the fog, and to avoid any threats lurking i
The Merman, My Man Chapter 251: Powers of Four Dimensions
Even as she spoke, Mary grabbed the edge of the glass tank and pushed herself over it, though she soon skidded down the glass again soon enough, perhaps because she had not moved a muscle for a long time. I promptly caught her and asked, “What do you mean, fate? Don’t you decide that for yourself? I may be speaking rudely, but could you tell me what’s going on between you and that purple merman before you leave? There’s no telling when we would meet again, but if you feel that it’s invasive…”“It’s fine. I should actually be glad that I could tell someone before I go, and this secret has been kept for too long…” Mary leaned into my arms then, and I somehow saw an elderly person who had gone through the vicissitudes of life through her eyes. It was only then that I remembered—despite her young and beautiful appearance, it had been half a century since she had been turned into a mermaid. That young girl dressed in a kimono was already long gone, and she would be an elderly woman near th
The Merman, My Man Chapter 252: Target Found
Dicken extended both hands and intercepted me. Then, he puffed his chest so that his back arched backwards a little, and I heard the sound of skin being torn apart, as if something was struggling its way out of its body.Mary and I were shocked by the Dicken in front of us—his hair was dancing in the air as if every strand was given life, and I suddenly noticed that there were tentacles as thick as eels flailing around between his hair, reaching into the water and streaking towards me before I could react.“Watch out!” Mary yelled in panic, and spread her claws to pull the tentacles away, only for Dicken’s tail to swipe at her, sending her slamming heavily into the bulkhead. Then, Dicken’s tail fins shifted form into a razor-sharp scythe, and swung it at her head. However, just as he was about to kill her, I bounded forward and pushed her out of the way with no hesitation, the razor-sharp fin swiping just past my head and stopping right above my back.Mary struck the bulkhead, blue
The Merman, My Man Chapter 253: Kill Him
“Ah… Ah… No…”I shuddered as if I had been jolted, and my legs turned to jelly as my two tender spots were being tormented. In that split second, those tentacles slid inches up my legs and soon broke through my groin which was bandaged heavily. They crawled around, slowly slithering between the gaps of the bandages and undid them bit by bit, searching for an outlet to enter me.My legs were cramping from the pain and my veins were bulging over my neck. I could feel a merman’s sheer power crashing around wildly over my blood vessels and almost bursting. Sharp claws were extending out of fingers and razor fangs protruded out of my gums—despite being unaccustomed to that, I bit his tongue forcefully by instinct just as it was about to pry my lips open. His thick, black blood streamed into my mouth, and I swallowed in the confusion, before coughing violently.However, Dicken didn’t let me go—his tongue reached even deeper, forcing me to accept his invasive kiss. Like a thirsty beast, he
The Merman, My Man Chapter 254: A Genuine Devouring
As I fell on top of Dicken, his black tendrils scattered, allowing me to clearly see what lay underneath: a black, jellyfish-like parasite attached to his nape that could have been fused into his flesh, though it appeared more likely to have grown out of it. Even as Dicken was choking me, I managed to press my knees down on his tail and seize the flailing tentacles. The tentacles started to secrete black, thick goo even as I bellowed furiously, “Get off! Give Dicken back to me, you disgusting poo!”“Give him back! Give him back! Give him back!” I repeated hatefully, my tears pouring from my eyes and into Dicken’s. Even so, his eyes were locked on me and held no sentiment, and those dark pupils seemed bent on consuming everything. I suddenly realized that every tear I had ever shed since I could remember had been shed for him, and never for anyone else or even myself. Even so, my tears were not affecting Dicken emotionally at all—did I just imagine that split second of hesitation j
The Merman, My Man Chapter 255: Sea Burial
I carried Mary to the cabin door and unlocked it. Light outside shone upon me right away as the door opened instantly, which forced me to close my eyes for an instant. However, before I could clearly see outside the door, someone grabbed me firmly and then shoved me aside. Even as my spine touched the bulkhead, I heard a hoarse, elderly cry: “Oh, my girl! My girl!”As my vision cleared, I froze in shock to find a man on his knees, clutching Mary’s body and shaking—it was Bob, who had tricked everyone by staging a fake funeral.He was as stiff as a statue, and I couldn’t see any expression on his face, but crystalline droplets could be seen trickling from his turbid eyes. If I were to identify those as tears, it would be the greatest joke I had ever heard. In fact, I couldn’t help laughing out loud from the contempt and rage in my heart then. I couldn’t help feeling sorry for Mary, who had been used by her own father as bait. “Hahaha! Mary’s actually your daughter, Mr. Bob?”Bob di
The Merman, My Man Chapter 256: What Are You Doing
I had expected Gary to do something like that. However, what shocked me the most was that Bob—who was supposed to be Mary’s father—merely remained on the deck on his knees, even though his daughter was being given such an unceremonious funeral. He was hanging his head, as if it wouldn’t happen if he couldn’t see it.The icy raindrops that were pelting my body felt like icicles stabbing into my heart. Clenching my fist as an indescribable pain unfurled over my chest, I couldn’t help chasing after the armed guards as I yelled, “Wait! Please, wait!”They turned towards me in confusion but stopped, and I promptly took off my clothes to cover her. Then, I did my best to recall the lyrics of a particular dirge while I sang it, while gently drawing a cross over her forehead—I might not be a devout Christian, and I had no idea if Mary’s soul would be granted rest or reach heaven after her passing, but this was the only thing I could do for her.“Use a liferaft…” Bob said with a sigh just th
