All Chapters of The Merman, My Man: Chapter 241 - Chapter 250

The appearance of that shipwreck became clearer to us even as our ship slowly approached it—it was mostly covered in something black that resembled a thick layer of coal dust, its original shape long since lost.I realized in surprise that it was not the ship I dreamt of, since this once was much larger, and must have been a luxury liner like the Titanic. The tourists who died here were no different from succulent meat for seafaring fugitives. As time went by, whatever the rich folks left in the liner would grow in value, and I realized that it was nigh impossible for my crewmates to give up on the riches right in front of them.I therefore had no choice but to watch as they brought out beers in celebration, while I took the guns off the wall rack and stuff it in their hands. “Don’t celebrate too early, and keep these with you!”“When did you turn into David, Linda?” Luna’s whole face was mocking, but she took the gun nonetheless. “Aren’t you going? Aren’t you always curious about

I touched Dicken’s healed wounds, and one wouldn’t notice the needle hole-sized speckles lurking beneath his skin. “Maybe… your power wasn’t affected by the corruption, and if… I’m just saying in theory, is it possible that you could gain the same power after you had been corrupted? I wonder, do you know some of our medical terms, such as vaccine for infections? For example, you might hurt me, but you also keep me away from other corrupted Yiki. Given current circumstances, it might be difficult to corrupt me, but my luck might not hold out… “Perhaps my explanation and theorizing were too complex or outrageous for Dicken to understand, he simply leaned towards me and stopped me from talking with his lips, even biting my tongue punishingly and murmured, “Right now, I’m placing as much of my scent on you as possible, but…”Dicken looked up at me with a warning look then, his long, narrow eyes turning into slits. “You mustn’t be emotional and restrain your reactions. You have to stay a

My crewmates must have been attacked by now—I regretted not stopping them so much, even if I had to be violent! Fuck!Even as I was left in a dilemma, I noticed the glow stick on the table and immediately thought of an idea. I took out every glow stick I could find, despite being uncertain if those things were afraid of light and only able to hope that it would work even just a little, so that my crewmates on the other ship had a chance instead of just waiting for their deaths.I promptly picked up the glow sticks and tied them into several bunches, then threw them through my cabin window into the other ship over different locations. All at once, a venomous hiss echoed from the other ship—the corrupted Yiki that resembled human hair started thrashing once the glow sticks touched them, causing an eerie sight.Still, my hunch was right. Light somewhat worked against those horrid things, and I therefore threw more glow sticks over to the other ship. They would burst into light over a

I couldn’t answer Gary because I was in too much pain to even utter a single word. My temples were throbbing, but I still turned back towards the Seeker, which was completely engulfed in flames: Dicken was gone—the place where he and I had been was now consumed by the fire, leaving those monsters struggling against the blaze.This situation was utterly ironic.My own lover had maimed me, whereas my enemy saved me and my friends—I had just noticed the Seeker’s crew, including Luna and Mike, being fished out of the sea. The sight made my spirits soar, preventing me from going unconscious right away. Soon, Gary lay me on a bed, with the doctors he had been yelling for hurrying to treat me. Despite being reluctant to bare my wounds in front of so many, there was no other choice than to leave my lower body bare for the doctors to examine. The only consolation was that Gary did not linger like some voyeur, and only returned inside after my wounds were dealt with.The doctors seemed to h

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
