Mermaid Effect

Rand rushed to the nearest place with water, his bathroom, holding Munster who was about to become "crispy".

He turned on the shower and splashed water on the little monster, but it still looked weak.Uneasiness quickly rose from Rand's heart...

Although he always felt that Munster looked a little weird now, he never wanted to let it die.He even began to wonder if his roughness to it before made his nerves too nervous. He once saw a case where his friend's rabbit died because of fright, and when he thought of Munster...

"Oh no, I don't want that."

Rand was talking to himself in a panic, he turned on the faucet of the bathtub and began to store water in the white jar.

Then he put Munster in.

It sank straight to the bottom.

The faucet was still on, the sound of splashing water echoed in the bathroom, and the transparent water line was still rising.Rand stared unblinkingly at Munster at the bottom of the water... Against the background of the bathtub, it appeared smaller than Rand thought.

Its two tentacles drooped, and its blue tail flicked once in a while, but Rand wasn't sure if it was automatic or because of the fluctuations in the current.

"Hey, come on."

Rand felt as if his heart was being tightened. He squatted down, leaned to the side of the bathtub, and murmured to it.

After all it seemed so alive just a moment ago...

At this moment, the little blue monster suddenly jumped from the bottom of the bathtub to the surface of the water at a speed that Rand could not react at all, and it opened its mouth at Rand.

"puff--"

A line of water with a faint fishy smell rushed to Rand's face.

Rand blinked, his brain went blank for a few seconds before he realized that just now, the little bastard had spit water on his face.

Water droplets wet his hair, dripped down his cheeks, and even the collar of his pajamas became wet.

Rand wiped his face with his hands, raised his eyebrows, and met Munster's gaze with a distorted face.

At this point it moves more like an otter than a fish.The body that sank to the bottom of the water like a stone just now seemed unbelievably light. It floated in the bathtub with ease, its two pectoral fins slapped the water slowly, and the part above the neck stood straight on the water.

Its eyes were shining, and it seemed that even the two red spots on its face seemed more vivid. After meeting Rand's gaze, it grinned and murmured a series of "chirp chirp chirp"—it looked energetic Radiant, without any sign of weakness.

"very good."

Rand said coldly.

He swore he heard jeering and pleasure in the cascade of chirping.

Damn it, a taunt from a fish!

And just now he was even worried about this little bastard.For a moment, Rand thought he was stupid for being in the bathroom in wet pajamas because of a fish on a night like this.

He stretched out his hand violently, and pushed a triumphant little monster to the bottom of the water.

Then he stood up and walked straight out of the bathroom, slamming the door behind him.

There was a loud sound of water behind him, and Rand didn't know if it was Munster who jumped out of the water, but he swore he wouldn't bother with it anymore.Now he was sleepy and tired, and he was still wet.

He really didn't have the energy to pay attention to that guy who would even pretend to be dead.

Rand ruffled his hair and yelled at the bathroom door, "Shut up!"

He didn't expect this, but the "chirp" and the sound of water behind the door became quiet the moment his voice fell.

well.

Rand rolled his eyes, he took off his pajamas (which still had that weird faint fishy smell on them), and fell headlong on his bed.

"Oh, to hell with that little monster."

He said to himself in his mind, closed his eyes, and fell into sleep almost instantly.

At the same time, another person... or should we name it, Susan, was not lucky enough with Rand.

Even though she was tired as hell, the things she faced prevented her from simply closing her eyes and going to sleep.

Because Tony is dead.

Susan looked at Tony's body tremblingly, she didn't know what went wrong - there were several obvious wounds on Tony's body, which were pulled out by Susan's whip, but theoretically it could only leave on the skin The red raised welts burst deeply on the surface of Tony's swollen body, as if a cut was gently cut on a ripe fruit, and the juice burst out instantly... and here, the bursting out of Tony's body It's not such a wonderful thing as juice, dark red blood, mucus, and a trace of yellowish sticky matter (maybe fat), those things mixed into a viscous liquid that almost completely soaked the carpet.

The room was filled with a strong stench, Susan curled up in the corner, her arms hugged her knees tightly, tears washed her black eyeliner into a mottled net and covered her pale face.

"I didn't think it would be like this, I didn't think...not at all..."

She kept repeating this sentence mechanically.

"Oh, shut up, stupid girl."

Someone else in the room yelled at her in disgust.

It was a skinny woman, wearing a leather coat similar to Susan's, but the clothes that were tight on Susan turned out to be loose on her body, and her hair that was deliberately dyed copper-colored fell out. Almost there, dotted with red blotches on the deeply sunken face - the sort of thing that always happens to chronic drug addicts.

Her nickname is "Ace of Squares"... Of course, it's just a former title.

Like Susan, she was also a member of "Lace and Leather" before, and she was even the most popular one.Just like all drug addicts, youth and beauty flowed from her body as quickly as the gravel at the fingertips, and she quickly became a marginal figure-but it is undeniable that she knows all the rules here, Susan was a good partner with her before this, especially "Box A" occasionally helped her deal with Tony, and this "friendship" continued.

Of course, when Tony died in front of Susan in such a weird way, she instinctively found "Ace of Squares".

Compared with the terrified Susan, "Ace of Squares" looked unreasonably calm - she even had the nerve to take out his wallet and cigarettes from Tony's coat.

She opened the wallet, counted out the banknotes from it, and then curled her lips in disgust.

"Give me another five hundred, and I'll help you with this thing."

She kicked Tony with the toe of her frayed heel and lit a cigarette.

Susan raised her head numbly and looked at her: "What five hundred?"

"Ace of Squares" smirked and repeated.

"Five hundred, I know a good place, we can transport him there, bury him deep in the ground, no one will find out about it, I swear. Then you go on with your life, maybe you can still be As for a reporter, silly girl, everything will be fine... you just need to give me another 500 yuan, it's just a small amount, isn't it?"

"I...we can call 911..."

Susan sobbed.

"Block A" shrugged his shoulders: "If you insist, I have no objection, but think about it..."

She kicked Tony's dead body again.

"These wounds, and your whip—you'll probably be in jail for a damned mistake, darling."

It has to be said that "Box A" is quite talented in persuading others.

She finally convinced Susan.

They put Tony's body in a dumpster and carted it out, while washing the floor of the room thoroughly with bleach.Then they drove Tony to the depths of a deserted farm - the owner of the farm had mortgaged the entire land to the government because of bankruptcy, but apparently the government didn't pay much attention to this remote and deserted place.

When Tony was dumped out of the trash can, even "Ace of Squares" couldn't help frowning.

She stood with Susan beside the deep hole they had dug together.

"Ugh...he looks really disgusting."

She said that she couldn't help but lit another cigarette and stuffed it in her mouth.

"He doesn't look normal," Susan was still crying, she moved her lips nervously, "he really isn't normal, that's why he became like this..."

"Box A" curled her lips indifferently. She took out her mobile phone from her pocket as if nothing had happened, and took a few photos of the deep pit.

Susan looked back at her in shock: "What are you doing?"

"Don't worry, I just haven't seen such a corpse, just pat it casually... Don't look at me like that, okay, I'll delete it later."

"Block A" said.

In the pit beneath their feet, Tony melted into an indistinct mass (neither "Ace of Diamonds" nor Susan for want of a better word) like melted wax.The wet piece of meat seemed to be melting, the white skeleton protruded from the piece of meat, and the light of the flashlight reflected a gloomy light.

"Fill it with soil and everything will pass."

"Block A" stuffed the phone back into his pocket and patted Susan on the shoulder.

They shoveled the soil again, and the falling brown clods finally covered up everything about Tony...

a few hours later-

Sending the whimpering stupid girl back to the apartment, "Ace of Squares" lit a cigarette and took a deep breath while sitting in the dirty old pickup.

A few passing scum whistled flirtatiously at her. In the past, "Diamond A" would not have given up on those little guys, but at this time she had other things to do.

She spit out a mouthful and rolled up the window.

Then she took out her mobile phone from her pocket, and it looked like Tony's dead body.She did not delete the photo at all as she said.

"You'll bring me something nice, won't you?"

"Ace of Squares" giggled at the screen, then pouted and kissed it.

blackmail?

Oh no, she's not going to use these photos to blackmail Susan—that stupid girl's money is all used to pay for her student loans, and she even thinks that the 500 yuan she asked for from that woman tonight is probably all of her property too.

So, the only people who can really make these photos work are...

Rand Sievers.

"Block A"'s breathing sped up slightly.Unlike that idiot Susan, she immediately realized that Tony was unusual. You know, the corpse of a normal person would not look like that.And not long ago, she had heard Tony's promise to Susan in a threesome - he discovered Rand Sievers' little secret, those biological company's killer preparations and the like...

"Ace of Diamonds" licked her lips, believing she could get a good deal from Rand Sievers.It's risky, she knows, but she can't control that much.

Her addiction is getting bigger and bigger now, and her body can't attract enough men to pay for her cute little powder.

Tony's death was a tragedy, but for her, it was a gift that was readily available.

"Ace of Boxes" firmly believes so.
