The world is broken, the cubs mend it

"..."

Vitalia didn't respond to them. He actually didn't want to see these humans at all.

But these people are the children's friends. If you speak ill of them, the children will be caught in the middle and not know what to do.

Everyone had read the notebook and didn't mind Vitalia's cold face. It would have been strange if he had greeted her with a smile.

"Can your tail grow new scales?"

Bai Qi had only heard people say that one should bribe the BOSS with money, especially jewelry, but he had no idea what purpose these would serve.

"Gold and silver jewelry can be transformed into his scales."

Lin Che answered her question in time. No wonder people said this was a robber's book. Just looking at the end, you can tell that Yuanyuan has collected a lot of good things in the past few months.

"Oh! By the way, I heard that you like to collect these things, so I brought some here specially."

Chi Xia also had a lot of jewel ornaments on her, and she couldn't take them with her, so she just gave them to her.

I just didn't expect it to have such a wonderful effect.

The three of them collected a handful of jewels for the father and daughter, which alone was enough to give Vitalia a tail tip.

Seeing the father and daughter polishing these gems, several people came over to watch curiously.

Vitalia's tail cannot move. The half of the tail hanging in the water needs the children to dive into the water and stick it on.

"Where are you from?"

The three of them were lying on the shore, looking down at the child in the sea, when Vitalia's question suddenly came from above their heads.

"We are the Chinese on the Blue Planet."

Chi Xia was stunned for a moment and then answered his question. Everyone in the copy came from different countries on Blue Star.

"Are there mermaids in your world?"

Vitalia didn't know where the Blue Star was. The mermaids had been isolated from the outside world for generations, living peacefully in their own sea.

"I don't know how to tell you about this question. If no one has ever seen you, you appear in many stories and legends, and the portraits depicted are very similar to you."

Chi Xia likes to read novels and animations in his spare time. There are many kinds of images of mermaids, and their appearance is the most common image in comics.

"Probably not. There is currently no evidence to prove that you really exist."

Bai Qi had thought about this question before. The universe is so big, there must be a planet with traces of mermaids, and the atrocities recorded in the notebook had occurred there.

"I remember someone asked Yuanyuan to tell you about this before. There is no need for us to deceive you about this matter."

Lin Che remembered the last time she came here. The female police officer named Chu Lan had asked her child to say this.

"..."

Vitalia fell silent, looking into the distance with deep eyes.

He just thought that if the copy, the Blue Star and where he existed were different worlds, then would he still have a chance to avenge his people.

"By the way, have you found a way to leave here?"

Lin Che felt that the tail had been reshaped, so were they about to leave the dungeon?

"Can the boss leave too?"

It was the first time that Chi Xia heard such a statement. The sea area in the dungeon was not very large, and mermaids had a long lifespan. If they were trapped here for a long time, they would go crazy.

"It's just speculation. We previously thought that they were dragged in for unknown reasons and had independent thoughts. Perhaps they also needed to complete a certain mission before they could leave."

Lin Che also didn't find any useful evidence to support her statement, and everything was just everyone's speculation.

At this time, the little guy who had just released his scales poked his head out of the water, climbed up to the shore and looked at them. He hesitated for a moment and said, "We can leave here if we find Daddy's bones."

"bone?"

Lin Che didn't understand what she meant for a moment.

"Is it Vitalia's spine?"

Chi Xia remembered that the notebook said that if the mermaid's spine was removed, they would no longer be able to transform into legs.

Now, Vitalia's plucked scales have grown back, and the scars on his body are also healing, leaving only the spine that can support his entire tail.

"Ah... that should be it..."

Yuanyuan still remembers the picture her father drew. It was a very thick bone with small bones like fish bones on both sides.

"I'll help you find it!"

Bai Qi also hopes that they can leave here. There will be no chance to meet again in the future, and it is a good ending for them to be well.

"I'll help too. We have strength in numbers. Maybe we can find it before we leave here."

Chi Xia looked around the sea area. It wasn't that big, so if he looked carefully he would find something.

Seeing them express their opinions, Lin Che rubbed his ears awkwardly, and after a moment of silence, he followed suit: “I… I’ll help too.”

His relationship with the BOSS wasn't actually that deep, but since they had already followed him to the island, it would seem too heartless to say he didn't want to.

"I've looked all over here, and I don't see anything."

Yuanyuan also looked in the picture frames in the castle and found that the bones stored there all belonged to other compatriots, so it would be useless to give them to his father.

"Since it is the key item for you to leave here, it must not be that easy to find."

Bai Qi patted the water off her body and comforted her in a gentle tone.

Everyone had swam out of the water, their clothes were soaked, and they each found a secluded place to wring out the water from their clothes.

Vitalia looked at them with a complicated look, as if she didn't understand why they were willing to help her.

Mermaids and humans should be incompatible.

Maybe this is all for the sake of the children.

The sun was very strong at noon in the sea area, and the clothes of several people were quickly dried by the sun.

Lin Che hung the bait on the hook and sat cross-legged on the shore to fish.

He looked so relaxed and comfortable, as if he was here on vacation.

Vitalia's huge body gives people a strong sense of oppression, but after looking at him for a long time, he no longer seems scary. He doesn't like to talk to people and only wants to talk to children.

The little guy followed Chi Xia around the island, looking for any places he had missed.

It has to be said that Chi Xia is a person who is very good at discovering things. He dug a big hole in every bulging mound of earth on the island to see if there is anything inside.

"Why do you keep digging holes?"

Yuanyuan saw him holding a hard and sharp stone in his hand and quickly drilling a hole in the ground, and she didn't quite understand his behavior.

"See if your father's bones are buried here."

Chi Xia felt that the key item should be hidden very deeply, perhaps buried in the ground.

"There are pits everywhere, it's not nice..."

Yuanyuan felt that her father's bones were not in the soil, but the flat green grass was full of holes dug by him.

I almost fell into the pit just now!

"..."

Chi Xia stared at her for a few seconds, and saw some disapproval in her eyes.
