There's a mermaid in my bathtub

The guy woke up.

The four eyes meet, the danger is approaching, and the instinct is faster than the reaction.

Jin Sheng got up quickly, retreated, and ran away. Because he had already taken precautions, his movements were extremely fast and coherent. It's a pity that compared to flexibility, the opponent was better.

The mermaid seems to have woken up a long time ago, and has already anticipated the series of escape movements of the prey and plotted something.

As a result, the wrist was firmly grasped, and he could no longer break free. Human beings had no chance of winning in simple combat, no matter in terms of physique or strength.Even though the mermaid didn't exert any strength and just held it, the slender knuckles left red and white marks on Jin Sheng's wrist.

The life-saving shower had been lost for a long time, dragged and pulled back from one hand, and then restrained the other hand. Jin Sheng was imprisoned by the cunning mermaid, attacked by hot water, and found himself After the weakness of the creature, the creature is obviously on the defensive.

The four eyes are facing each other, threats are hidden in the dark blue eyes, the terrifying predator has his own schemes and plans.However, the excessive resistance of human beings is obviously not within the scope of his plan, and whether human beings cooperate or not directly determines the success probability of his plan.As a result, the Predator changed to a more gentle method and temporarily restrained his edge.

—Anyway, there is more than one way to get the prey and achieve the goal.

His life was threatened, and he didn't have time to pay attention to the changes in the mermaid's eyes. Jin Sheng struggled desperately, fearing that he would be buried in the belly of the fish in the next second.

Dominated by fear, he fully imagined the tragic scene of the neck being twisted by the mermaid and the blood overflowing. When he was involved, the mermaid's fingers and claws pressed against the wound on his arm, and he instinctively groaned, and even frowned in pain.

——The attacker seems to have relaxed his strength, as if... considering his feelings.

Did he... understand what he meant?Perhaps, also understand his language?

After breaking free from his weakness, he calmed down, shook his body, and tried in a low voice before the overwhelming force: "...Don't do this, there is a wound here, it really... hurts."

He didn't expect much, but the mermaid's pause gave Jin Sheng hope.The hostage-taker moved his hand downwards and relaxed his wrist strength, allowing the human to confirm his guess.

After a brief exchange, both parties calmed down, and the smell of gunpowder temporarily disappeared in the bathroom full of stagnant water.

Jin Sheng twisted the two wrists that were being held, but still couldn't break free. Facing the powerful species that deprived him of his life every second, he tentatively started the negotiation: "Do you understand what I mean..."

no respond.

The look in his eyes dimmed a lot, and he happened to recall western fairy tales, maybe... Mermaids can't talk?

"If yes, nod your head, if you deny it, shake your head... Uh, if you don't understand, you can't deny it..." Embarrassed, the mermaid nodded jerky.

His movements were very stiff, his jaw almost reached his neck, it was obviously the first time he nodded like this, and he looked clumsy like a child in following the instructions.

Taking a deep breath, Jin Sheng forced himself to suppress all the shock related to the mermaid, and said frankly, "I have no ill intentions towards you, it was you who suddenly appeared at my house and scared me, and just now... you were injured, I was in Help you treat, I don’t want to do anything more.” Although the culprit of the wound is Jin Sheng himself, “But if you still attack me, I will continue to do my best to resist and protect my life, you, understand? "

Nodding again, the amplitude was reduced, and the movements were quite standard.

"I don't want to hurt you, and please don't attack me. If you cooperate, I will help you return to the sea. Although I don't know how you got to my house, but... this place is really not suitable for you, and it is very dangerous. If you His existence is discovered by other people, and maybe... he will never go back."

"I'm not joking."

It is emphasized that the beasts at the top of the food chain are often very complacent, and the mermaid with glamorous features in front of him also gives Jin Sheng the same feeling, for fear that he does not believe in himself.

After getting the right to speak, Jin Sheng was very sincere in every word, but those eyes permeating the deep sea never wavered, and never left Jin Sheng's lips from the beginning to the end.

This time, the mermaid did not move lightly, but stood upright completely, covering Jin Sheng under her figure, maintaining a condescending posture and a scrutinizing attitude, her eyes were cold and clear, like an elegant scholar who has read poetry and books but doesn't care about worldly affairs , and like a bandit hooligan who occupies the mountain as king and kills countless people, deep and dangerous.

Jin Sheng couldn't read this look, but he could feel the threat in it, and was thinking about how to persuade him next, the mermaid nodded to him.

So the negotiation is successfully completed?

Surprised and pleasantly surprised, as a human 'diplomat', he perfectly reached a treaty of peaceful coexistence and mutual assistance with another species, and successfully defended his own life safety.

It's a pity that before the next step of 'negotiation' started, the cold palm on the wrist suddenly moved up and grabbed Jin Sheng's shoulder.The harmonious atmosphere broke instantly, and Jin Sheng raised his head suddenly, only to find that the mermaid's eyes were fixed on his lips, and the other hand was about to cover his forehead, but the water dripping down from his hand had already dripped on the top of his head.

For an unfamiliar species, the other party can easily threaten his life. Under such a premise, it is impossible to trust him with a few words.

His wrist was no bigger than his shoulders, so even if he was caught, Jin Sheng had the ability to get rid of it instantly. Before the mermaid moved, he threw off the restraint, turned slightly, and quickly picked up the kettle on the ground, and opened the lid before he approached and attacked again. .

Jin Sheng poured out the full pot of boiling water mercilessly.

There was a sound of splashing water, and in exchange for silence, the whole bathroom was filled with heat, the source of which was the mermaid.

Jin Sheng firmly grasped the handle of the kettle and took a step back, staring at the mermaid who did not hide at all, but whose face was splashed with boiling water. His fingers and claws still maintained the movement of probing over just now, but they were very stiff. Looking carefully, he squeezed between his thumb and index finger A small piece of crumbs, it seemed... It was his instant noodle cake crumbs, and now it was completely boiled by the hot water, and slid limply to the ground.

Humans seem to have misunderstood something.

"This..." The mermaid gritted her teeth to support her body and also stared at herself, the anger spreading in her eyes could be discerned regardless of race.

That's right, anyone who kindly helped to remove the crumbs stuck to his head, but was splashed with boiling water all over his head and face, would be angry...

The Adam's apple slipped, and it was too late to apologize. Jin Sheng watched the blue texture like the neck emerge on the flirtatious face, as dense as the totem of an ancient tribe, blooming on the pale skin to form a strange beauty.

At the same time, there was a smell of meat.

——What was poured out just now was boiling water.

"My God...I'm sorry, I'm definitely not...cough cough, I'm really sorry..."

Explaining and apologizing over and over again, watching those deceptive blue eyes lose all their brilliance, there was a dead silence, and the mermaid also lost strength. Before Jin Sheng reached out to help, he fell into the bathtub, causing a huge splash, and the person who was standing far away Humans are also completely wet.

……

The bathtub was replaced with cold water, and Jin Sheng used all his strength to turn the mermaid, which had lost consciousness again, face up. After confirming his breathing, he applied cold compresses and changed dressings again and again, exhausted, and finally woke it up.

A completely different species, but he can understand his language. The mermaid's IQ is obviously not inferior to that of humans.Whether it's guilt or something else, Jin Sheng no longer simply regards mermaids as beasts and evil spirits, but he also knows that they are far more dangerous than ghosts.

Thanks to the cold water washing and Jin Sheng's care, this time, the mermaid woke up quickly, but the temperature of the boiling water was too high. Even if he opened his eyes and regained consciousness, his body was paralyzed and unable to move. Floating halfway in the overflowing bathtub, his movements were stiffer than before, and now he has completely lost the ability to move.

After Jin Sheng's unremitting emergency treatment, the hideous dark blue lines faded a lot, leaving only a handsome face with a sharp blue and white contrast. After repeated rubbing, the curative effect was saturated and there was no change, leaving the culprit at a loss.

Could it be that the mermaid was disfigured by him?

Jin Sheng doesn't know how the immunity of other species is, but if hot water of the same temperature is splashed on a human's face, it will definitely disfigure the face.

The mermaid who regained consciousness was still unable to move, but her orchid and deep eyes were always fixed on Jin Sheng's face, brushing his lips as if nothing.Perhaps it was an illusion, but Jin Sheng always felt that the mermaid was much gentler now, and the overly strong aura disappeared from her body.

"Da da da--"

It was this weird sound again, faint and hollow and echoing in the small bathroom.After several twists and turns, it was already late at night, and such a sound seemed particularly terrifying in an extraordinarily quiet night.

The lips and petals of the mermaid did not move at all, but in a room with only one person and one fish, there is no need to question whoever made the voice.

"Da da da--"

The successive "da da" sounds made Jin Sheng stop his movements. His physical therapy had lost its effect. When he closed his hands, his palms inadvertently rubbed against the mermaid's hair, and the foam-like delicate and soft touch was extremely wonderful.

Slowly, the skin of the mermaid secretes a strange fluorescent substance at a speed visible to the naked eye, covering the places where the blue streaks appear, and the darker the color, the more the coverage. This special light is also obvious in the room with the lights on .

I have never seen such a scene before, and the mermaid's stern eyes refused Jin Sheng to approach. In order to avoid secondary damage and other disturbances, Jin Sheng took a step back and moved a little further away from the bathtub, watching helplessly as the fluorescent substance on the mermaid's face gradually increased. The more it is, the thicker it is like resin, and it has a unique clearness. It gradually fades the blue color and repairs the damaged skin of the mermaid.

It seems that my own 'help' has affected the mermaid's ability to 'self-heal'.

If you don't get disturbed, you won't pay attention to the busy humans. After confirming that Jin Sheng, the bystander, is not afraid of the threat, the mermaid closed his eyes.

The mysterious substance flickering under the light gathered little by little and completely covered the mermaid's face. The overly perfect face was covered by it, and the fine light shone dimly. The blue-purple and warm gold intersected.

"I... first find something you can eat." I feel guilty for my reckless behavior, and I want to do something to make up for my 'mistake'.After making a sound to let the mermaid with closed eyes and resting her mind know, Jin Sheng walked out of the bathroom lightly.

As a 'human diplomat', Jin Sheng's negotiations failed abnormally. Even if he reached a 'mutual non-aggression on life safety' treaty before, it still can't offset the crime of almost cooking fish soup.
