Mermaid Reef

"I'm leaving."

The muffled voice seemed to have a natural problem with the vocal cords in the throat, and the words were slurred.

It was a dream again.

Hans was startled and hit his head on the roof.

Compared with his height of just over two meters, the attic is obviously too short.

The originally low and dark attic became warm and bright. There was a big hole in the right wall, and the warm yellow sunlight seemed to spread a layer of golden silk satin on the worn-out wooden floor.

This layer of silk fluttered softly, Hans looked out in surprise, and found that there were surging white clouds outside, and the wind poured in in bursts, taking away the dust in the attic and blowing away the dark and musty smell.

Hans lowered his head and looked at the checkers board in front of him.

On the old and faded chessboard, those broken glass chess pieces are also shining brightly and brilliantly under the sunlight.

A thin, scarred arm stretched out to hold the chess pieces.

The child sat in the last dark corner of the attic, his pale blue eyes like two rare gems.

Like starlight.

Hans instinctively pinched the chess piece, and carefully put it into the grid.

"You... are you really a part of that evil god?"

Hans didn't know which evil god Jason was, and there was no record in the ancient books.

He only knew that Jason had lived at sea, because the old Brandon funded a sea expedition, so Hans was very afraid that the real body of the Norwegian sea monster was a child in the attic.

A monster whose strength is higher than that of the evil god's family, but not the evil god...

The child looked at Hans quietly without answering.

Hans felt that the child didn't refuse to answer, but that he didn't know how to answer.

"Aren't you going to live here?" Hans was surprised.

Some dreams are a fixed space, no matter where they are, the owner of the dream will always maintain the same scenery - because their hearts are trapped there, so "I want to leave" does not mean that the evil god is leaving Venice, but this Dreams are about to cease to exist.

As a therapist, Hans hoped that the child would leave the attic, but thinking of Jason's words, he was not sure whether the result was good or bad.

What if the evil god decides to obliterate the consciousness of this human child?

Hans was extremely disturbed.

He asked in a low voice, "Did the evil god set you free?"

"It was you who made me let go."

The child's body moved forward, exposing his strange face to the sun, the wind blowing his thinning hair, and his blue eyes were smiling.

"Thank you."

These were the last words the boy in the attic left to Hans.

The attic shook from side to side, shaking violently.

Hans watched in horror as the child's arms grew longer and the ugly scars disappeared.

The child turned into the evil god who hired him, wearing a black top hat and a double-breasted coat, standing in front of him like an English gentleman.

Hans: "..."

He was propelled by an invisible force through the hole in the attic and straight through the clouds.

"Pfft."

Below the clouds is the endless blue water.

This time the dream has no black smoke, vines and monsters, it is so bright that there is no trace of color.

Hans came out of the sea, just in time to see the rotten planks of the attic falling into the sea one after another, and then gradually deformed under his shocked eyes, turning decay into magical "assembly" into a three-masted sailing ship.

The sea breeze blows, and the sails are full.

"Whoa—"

There is a long whale cry.

The huge body stirred up snow-white waves, layer after layer like foam.

Between the waves there are shining jewels.

Hans still wanted to see more clearly, the whale's tail slapped heavily on the sea, and the huge waves were surging.

Hans was directly swept away by the waves.

Fortunately, he is a Venetian and a dream therapist, who knows how to stabilize his mind in the drastic changes in the dream, so he was not swept out of the dream immediately.

Hans coughed and surfaced again, only to see the shadow of the sail in the distance.

The giant whale leads this ghost ship to the unknown sea.

As the sun sets, the silver crescent moon slowly rises.

***

"Whoa."

There is no silver moon in the real world, only dark blue sea water.

The three-masted ship skimmed across the sea in the dark night, so fast that it could only leave an afterimage in the telescope.

If a watchman tries to observe this sea area again, he will see a strange thick fog.

Fog enveloped the old hull, and the waves kept pouring into the holes in the cabin and flowing out from the deck.

There were always strange rustling noises in the cabin.

Countless black vines crawled on the deck, ship's side, and mast.

A slender arm suddenly supported the side of the ship.

Thin translucent fins stretched along the wrists, and seawater dripped down the silvery satin-like skin.

The golden red fish tail is spread on the deck, and the luster of each scale is breathtakingly beautiful.

The mermaid tilted her head and held down a running vine with her fish tail.

In an instant the whole ship was silent.

"Don't panic."

The mermaid brushed her long red hair behind her ears, and lay down lazily on the side of the boat.

The hull shook.

It is the vibrating plank entwined with vines.

Accompanied by the sound of the waves, the mermaid chanted softly.

It was a cantata, and they were supposed to enjoy a concert including it in the theater in Venice.

Now they are at sea.

On the empty sea, only the sound of waves and wind is the accompaniment.

Gemil didn't sing according to the human language, he only used this tone like above the clouds.

The ethereal and beautiful singing instantly emptied all the thoughts in the listener's brain, and was drawn and dominated by it unconsciously.

The sea rose quietly.

Spread over the tail of the fish and dip into the waist of the mermaid.

The shape of the ship slowly fell apart.

So the singing stopped abruptly.

Gemil: "..."

Singing happily on the boat "spelled" by the person you like, but suddenly want to swim by yourself?

A good boat turned into a big pile of rotten planks floating on the sea?

As the singing disappeared, the sanity of the "ship" quickly returned, and the vines quickly picked up the planks, turning back into a ghost ship in a second.

The piece of wood that Gemil held in his hand kept shaking, and as soon as Gemil let go, it flew to the side of the ship with a whizz.

The vine under the fish's tail struggled desperately. Gemil picked up the vine, wrapped it around his shoulders, and extended it to his wrist in circles. Finally, the thin and soft end of the vine just touched the mermaid's palm. .

Gemil gently poked at the fine buds at the end of the vine with his fingertips.

The vines were motionless.

Gemil lowered his head, his lips touched the buds, and he hadn't had time to lick them.

The entire vine disappeared at the speed of light.

——Curled from the end, disappeared directly from Gemil's arm and shoulder, and shrunk into the cabin.

A large hole appeared in the nearby deck, and sea water quickly poured in.

This is a chain reaction. One vine shrinks sensitively, and the vines on the same trunk (or the vines near the mermaid) all run away.

Gemil: "..."

Forced to swim again.

The mermaid swam to the slanted mast, jumped up easily, and let the fish's tail hang down in the water.

The scales with golden red luster are particularly conspicuous.

The long hair soaked by the waves was messy and stuck to the neck, chest and back.

The ethereal singing sounded again.

***

Who would have thought that the object of the mermaid's bewitchment was a boat?

A crooked, crumbling ship.

***

Black Lagoon.

The violent wind and waves on the sea were accompanied by waves of palpitating strange sounds.

An invisible barrier separates the real world from the human activity area.

On this piece of sea, the silver moon hangs high.

There was an indescribable strange sound from the bottom of the sea.

In the red magma, the seabed that seemed to be inlaid with bone fossils of various ancient organisms "raised" again, and flames and terrifying poisonous gas entangled it.

For the past five years, the sleeping ancient god has been "adjusting" his body.

Now it's finally freed from the seabed.

This time, the strange reef rising from the bottom of the sea looks even more terrifying. It seems to be able to emit countless horrific wailings. The black and red patterns on the surface are like the painful faces of many creatures. They seem to be twisted into strange shapes and fit together Together.

Poseidon, Gemil's body.

Chaos and disorder.

Strange reefs also don't have a shape that can be clearly described.

The night sky was dyed dark red, and there seemed to be stars moving slowly in the sky.

Strange Reef is still taking the time to integrate its own form and the disordered black and red stripes, as if to turn them into a work of art.

Finally, the thick fog appeared.

The light three-masted ship entered this dark red and terrifying sea world.

One vortex after another appeared on the sea surface.

"Snapped."

All planks fell off and sank to the bottom of the sea.

The mermaid took Jason's hand and slowly swam to the standing strange reef.

The golden eyes reflected the figure of Jensen, and the crimson soft lips sang ethereal and distant songs against Jensen's ears. Shadows spread from the mermaid's arms, long hair, and fish tail, entwining the prey like silk threads.

The singing gradually became sad, like a siren singing alone in the dark without love.

Jason clearly knew that this was the mermaid's charm method, but he couldn't control himself from following Gemil.

The closer he got to the strange reef, the black vines emerged uncontrollably.

——The little mind of the ancient gods has become the biggest hole card at this moment, the power that has been "attuned" is echoing another power.

The one that belonged to Gemil was extremely powerful, and Jason couldn't resist it.

Soul, body, and power are all eager to merge.

The gravitational force named "love".

Gemil wrapped his fishtail around Jason's waist, lowered his head and held Jason's Adam's apple, and continued to sing in this position. The resonance of the muscles was driven by each syllable, like a raging fire that forcibly invaded the brain, and burned instantly. Use your wits.

Jansen gradually became unable to maintain his human form.

The mermaid looked at the black vines wrapped around her body, showing a loving smile, but her eyes had the ferocity of a hunter.

Gemil embraced the person with his arms, and the strange creature, who couldn't see its true colors (still curled up) at all, quickly sank into the sea, swung its tail and swam out a white line, and reached the side of the strange reef in an instant .

The black vines clung to the reef in an instant and slowly stretched out.

The mermaid held up one of the vines and put it next to her cheek, smiling.

"I long to let you feel my warmth.

"There is still power."

In the next second, the mermaid turned into a tall black figure without a face, covering the strange reef and vines like a blanket.

The vines spread rapidly like "growth", as if to "swallow" the strange reef, the main body of the vines became larger and larger, and finally the deep jelly-like core appeared.

The shadow invaded the connection between the core and the eight main vines, caressing and winding.

The golden particles on the core disk danced restlessly.

The strange reef carrying highly toxic gas and hot magma hit the soft flower disc at the end of the vines, and the eight main vines ran away in an instant.

The white smoke was accompanied by an indescribably strange murmur.

The vines were crawling, and every twig twitched and hit the surface of the strange reef. This force was enough to break the steel bars in an instant and destroy the mountain.

The strange reef remained motionless, but the black and red stripes on the surface flowed faster.

scorching heat.

Terrifying power.

Hitting and tangling.

This continues until they sink into the depths of the trench.

The magma brought even more terrifying heat, and the evil god subconsciously hoped for relief from the icy sea water.

The sea water here is not deep enough, and it is too close to the human world, so they unconsciously head towards the north.
