Mermaid Lord

I fall, fall in the dark world...

Endless darkness enveloped everything, and images without color converged into a complete picture.

"You killed my child, you killed him!"

The muzzle of the gun was pointed at my heart, the man in grief was screaming, my distressed figure was reflected in his red eyes, and his kind and beautiful wife was crying to stop him.

I didn't move even though he had a gun in his hand and would go off and kill me at any moment.

I looked at the child on the operating table, his expression was very calm, as if he wasn't the one who was shot through the heart by a bullet.

However, he still left, he closed those light green eyes forever, and bid farewell to this miserable world.Just now, the doctor took off the blood-stained plastic gloves and shook his head to me: "Unfortunately, although the position of his heart is different from that of ordinary people, the fragments of the bullet still pierced the heart. We have tried our best, please forgive me." .”

I don't remember how I took this terrible news, and by the time my brain restarted from a blank state, I had already taken a blow.The fists that hit me were like machine guns firing continuously, with no tendency to stop. My bones made a muffled sound as if they were about to break, and a fishy-sweet liquid gushed out from the corner of my mouth.

The smell of disinfectant mixed with blood stimulated me to wake up. At this time, the crazy man stopped and pointed a gun at me.

The security officer rushed in and tried to persuade him to put down his gun: "Mr. Witt, please put down your gun. This was just an accident. The original intention of Sals was to save the children who were forcibly taken away by your tribe. You know, If Sals doesn't save him, he will face execution. It's just unfortunate that your people blocked the bullet with your child, causing this wrong injury."

"If you can't guarantee the safety of the child, then you shouldn't shoot!" The man looked even more angry, he almost rushed over with red eyes, and pulled the trigger at me.

I did not speak.

A few hours ago, the Nord police officer forcibly took away the child who had been with us in secret, because in the Nord law, it is expressly stipulated that the Nord and Gosai are not allowed to communicate with each other. Once the majesty of the law is violated , waiting for more than ten years in prison.

I can't let a child be taken away by Nord police officers, because their rough behavior looks like they are catching a criminal who is about to be sent to the execution ground.I felt with horror that they were taking the child to a secret place to be executed for treason against the Nords.

There was a fight between us and the Nords, which ended with them placing a pistol on the child's temple and threatening us to put down our guns.I admit that I was impulsive at that time. I took a sniper rifle to ambush on a tall building, aimed at the police officer's head, and pulled the trigger.

However, an incredible thing happened. The moment I shot, the police officer picked up the child and moved the child's chest to the direction of his head...

Then, as now.

"boom!"

everything is over.

I opened my eyes suddenly, and the pupils gradually focused to form an image. I saw the blue sky and seabirds, but my subconscious mind was still in the nightmare, and my brain hadn't started to function yet.

I sat up, propped my head and looked at my feet in a daze. This is a golden sandy beach. The soft fine sand seems to have magic power, forming a calm and immature face.

"Ed..." I called out the child's name, and instinctively touched my left shoulder, where there was a deep bullet wound.Yes, Ed's father, Mr. Witt, eventually fired, and the bullet penetrated my left shoulder.

I did not hold Mr. Witt accountable, he was a heartbroken father and Ed suffered hundreds of times more than I did, I deserved the bullet.

Anyway, since then, I have never picked up a gun again, and I have avoided as much as possible contact with children with light green eyes.

But I didn't expect that today, I saw the child with light green eyes again, and it was a mermaid who was not very old... I stroked the crack on the pendant, mother, are you guiding me in the dark?

"Sha--"

A sudden cry brought me back to my senses.

I looked over and saw a deep-sea mermaid lying on the beach with its back arched, its webbed claws deeply embedded in the sand, and it opened its mouth towards Ma Qi, showing its sharp teeth, and its eyes were full of the sharp light of a hunter.The two of them seemed to be fighting, but the bloody mermaid was obviously not Ma Qi's opponent. He was quickly knocked down by Ma Qi, and he violently flicked the fish's tail on the beach and struggled.

"What are you doing?" I asked as I checked the wound on my body. The blood was basically clotted. It seemed that I had been in a coma for a long time, and my body was a little hot. The wound should have caused inflammation. I shook it a few times before I wobbled stood up.

I roughly glanced around, this is not the familiar Cizea Island.

The bright sun lay on the beach like a golden carpet. Judging from the position of the sun above the sea level, the time should be around four o'clock in the afternoon.

In front of you is the boundless sea, with white waves hitting the reef, splashing layers of spray, and groups of seabirds soaring in the sky, making sharp calls.

Behind the soft fine sand is a forest, covered with all kinds of rare vegetation. From time to time, the roar of ferocious beasts resounded in my ears, shaking the big tree violently.

This is a completely strange island.

"Hey, Sals, you're awake." March pressed the mermaid's head into the sand, clapped his hands and walked over, "You seem to be in good shape."

"What happened?" I looked at the mermaid who spit out a mouthful of yellow sand and struggled to crawl over. It was a deep-sea mermaid captured by me. Why is he here? Where is the mermaid lord?

"It's amazing to say that this guy rescued you from the mermaid lord. He brought you to this island. I also captured the deep-sea mermaid that was always haunting me and came here, but the mermaid came to the island. Just go for a walk."

"Where is the boy who saved me?"

"It's a pity that he was taken away by the mermaid lord. I'm sorry, I can't do anything, oh," Ma Qi pointed at the mermaid crawling over, "This guy is here, ask him if you have any questions, he looks very Get close to you. I went to find some twigs to make a fire, and I don't know what happened, but this guy attacked me when he saw me approaching you."

After I listened to it, there was a momentary short circuit in my head.Oh, yes, I remembered, when the mermaid lord caught up with me, it was this mermaid who led me to avoid the mermaid lord's attack.If I hadn't seen his agility with my own eyes, I'm afraid I wouldn't have believed that such a young mermaid could lead me out of the palm of the mermaid lord.

Look at him, even if the fishtail can support his body to stand up, his height can only reach my chest at best, and his muscles are obviously underdeveloped, and his thin upper body is like a skin bag wrapped around the bones, as if gently grasped , can crush his bones.

I originally thought that this guy helped me because he wanted to enjoy my blood to himself, but now it seems that is not the case.

While I was watching him, he crawled towards me dragging his wounded tail.His crawling posture looked awkward, with wounds all over his body, blood was still pouring out, and the blue blood dragged out horrible bloodstains on the beach, which looked horrific.

Although he is a child with light green eyes, I dare not relax my vigilance, let alone have sympathy for him-even if this wild creature is in a dying state, its attack power is quite amazing.I put the jagged dagger behind my back, tensing my nerves.

He crawled up in front of me, he seemed to be in a happy mood, and the corners of his mouth were raised.He held out his webbed claws, stained with blue blood, toward me as if to touch me.

His fingers are longer than human's, with well-defined phalanges and a sense of strength. There is a layer of translucent webs between the fingers, like a terrifying giant net, which can cover prey in his hands at any time.Equally frightening are the long, sharp nails, which are like sharp knives, shining coldly in the sun.I can almost imagine how deep bone-deep wounds will be left when the nail scratches the skin.

I clenched my dagger tightly and took a step back warily.

"Moda?" He uttered two syllables full of doubts, as if he didn't understand why I was on guard against him.

I'm even more puzzled, I don't understand why he suddenly expressed his friendliness to me.I asked him tentatively: "You saved me?" Seeing him nodding, I asked again, "Why?"

"Kashi..." He pointed at me with a happy expression, then pointed at him again, and drew a circle between us with his arms. The fish tail swung slightly and wanted to move closer to me. I took a small step back, and He keeps the same distance.

I still can't understand the meaning of this word. I shook my head regretfully, expressing that I didn't understand, and asked, "How did you save me?"

His face suddenly became ferocious, and he shot fierce eyes at Ma Qi beside me, bared his sharp teeth, like a wolf trying to snatch food, exuding a ferocious aura.

"Hey, look at what I'm doing, I don't know anything." Probably feeling the murderous intent of the mermaid, Ma Qi innocently waved his hands back and cast a begging look at me, "Sals, I... God!"

A blue shadow flashed in front of my eyes, and the mermaid jumped up and rushed towards Ma Qi.

Reflexively, I grabbed his tail and pulled it hard. He groaned in pain and fell heavily on the beach. At the same time, blood shot out from his tail and splashed on me.

It was only then that I discovered that his fish tail was brutally torn, and the deep cracks in the bone and the red muscle tissue proved that he had experienced a terrible fight.Fortunately, the mermaid's body has a complete self-repair system, and a transparent film will soon form on the broken gap to prevent the large amount of blood from flowing out, and then slowly repair the wound.

I squatted down in front of him, his expression was extremely painful, his brows were wrinkled into knots, and his ear fins were drooping down listlessly, it seemed that he was really seriously injured.

His wound needs to be healed before the bacterial infection will kill him.

My heart suddenly felt as if soaked in icy sea water, it was so cold, a voice in my head advised me, Sals, you need to let go of your guard, he is just a child, he once saved your life.Look at him, he looks like the little mermaid you left behind... Trust him, he won't harm you.

Thinking of the little mermaid I once kept made me feel even worse.I sighed and asked him, "You won't hurt me?"

"Wattah." He spoke with difficulty.

I tried to make my voice threatening without being too blunt: "You are seriously injured and need to be bandaged to stop the bleeding. I will help you, but you have to make sure you don't hurt me, or I will kill you."

"Ka... Shi?" The low and peculiar syllable came out of his mouth, but I still couldn't understand it. Seeing that there was no hostility on his innocent looking face, I took his reply as agreeing to my behavior .

I tore the shirt into strips, cleaned his wound briefly, then tied a strip of cloth to his wound and bandaged it up.

His skin has protective mucus, so smooth, every time I touch it, it feels like I'm touching a piece of mucus-covered silk, which makes it very difficult for me to move.

After bandaging most of the fish tails, I was already sweating profusely. The salt contained in the sea breeze covered my skin, making it sticky. Even my bangs were wet and drooping down, almost blocking my eyes.

I stopped for a while, wiped the sweat from my hair with my hands, and shook it off gently. When I looked up, I saw him looking at me with a strange expression, and even an unusual blush on his face.

"Any questions?"

He didn't answer me, don't look away from me, the tail of the fish moved awkwardly on the sand, how do I feel, he is shy?

Soon, I found the reason for his abnormality.

A hideous wound... oh, it happened to be near a shameful place.
