How to keep a human in captivity

The ocean is vast and far-reaching. You may be able to roughly estimate its specific area, but you will never know what is in the ocean.

You never know what dangers lurk in this ocean.

For mermaids, the most dangerous disease is a disease called "BC Syndrome", and the least dangerous disease is also this disease called "BC Syndrome".

Because this is a probabilistic event.

Probability, a measure of the likelihood of a random event occurring.

The probability of a mermaid suffering from BC syndrome is 2 to the 100th power to 000 in his long years.

This disease is caused by a microorganism called BC. They have their own living places, usually in the deepest part of the sea, and are usually far away from the mermaids. Once they leave their living places, they will die within 30 seconds. die quickly within.

So the probability of mermaids coming into contact with BC is extremely small.

But that doesn't mean it won't happen.

This microorganism is a deadly poison to mermaids.

"Probability. You know, like 2 to 1, 3 to 1, 5 to 4 or something... 2 to the 100th power to 000, you know, the probability is too small." Ford explained , "This is a very small probability event. We can't know exactly when Arthur came into contact with the BC microorganism. It's not your fault."

"I'm not blaming myself." The human replied blankly, "We have more important things to do than guilt."

"Then I really hope you can slow down..." Janford rushed over from behind them panting, "I've never seen a human being who can swim faster than a mermaid!"

The human John glanced at him as if to say, so now you've seen it.

Ford, who was in charge of the investigation, made a quiet gesture to them neatly.

A sea shark leisurely swam past them.

"I think we've arrived." Ford swung his tail and ordered to his two companions, "Then, let's start without attracting the attention of the sea sharks as much as possible."

Treatment for BC syndrome requires a plant called martinia, which is flaxen-yellow and generally grows on the roots of reefs.

Most of the mermaids have never seen this kind of plant, just like they have not seen BC syndrome for 300 years. An old mermaid who is nearly 400 years old told Ford that there may be martinella near the sea shark site.

So humans and Ford came to this sea area.

They searched every reef in this sea area, but found nothing.

"Hey, Arthur, are you okay?" Tricia sat on the edge of the bed, and she was mashing some seaweed and applying it to Arthur's fish tail, which could relieve the pain to a certain extent.

"If you want me to answer that my tail still feels like it's on fire, well, yes."

"Be optimistic, Ford and the others will come back soon with martinza."

"Same as BC syndrome," Arthur said weakly, "the probability of finding martinella is just as pitiful. It's even 2 to the 276 power ratio to 709."

"If you can all get BC syndrome, why can't we find martinella?"

"Sounds like it makes sense."

"When did I lie to you, now, you need to rest."

"I'm sorry, but I really can't sleep..." Arthur blinked, his vision blurred with pain, "I remember a word called fish on the cutting board, I think I must have been chopped The one with the tail. Oh, by the way, sorry for ruining your date, I think you've both found your other half?"

"Hey Arthur, if chatting helps you distract yourself then I'm happy to do it, and nothing else matters, you know we all love you."

"I know, thank you." Arthur smiled slightly, "In fact, your medicine still has a little effect, and they seem to make me less painful."

"I'm glad to hear that, so, Arthur, how about talking to me about your date?"

"Actually..." Arthur replied with some guilt, "No female mermaid is attracted by my singing."

"I hope it's not because you didn't sing."

"Aha, of course not, you know, it's tradition, and I'm not going to break that."

"So, you sang." Tricia winked narrowly at Arthur, "I didn't meet a female mermaid, but you came back with your humans, can I assume that your singing attracted your attention?" Humanity?"

"Oh..." Arthur was so shocked that he almost forgot his physical pain, he blinked in confusion, and then blinked again in confusion, "Excuseme?"

Jamford hung one head in frustration, and his other head seemed to be lost in thought.

They didn't disturb the sea sharks, but they also didn't find martinosa.

Man has not given up searching.

Zhanford secretly pulled Ford, and they went around behind a reef, avoiding the sight of humans.

"I know where there's martinia," said Jamford's wise head, "but we'll have to pay."

"You mean..."

"We can go to Kraken for a deal."

"That's a good idea, why don't we go right away?"

"Because we have one more question," said Janford, "are you willing to give everything for Arthur's life?"

"Of course, you will do the same, we are friends, aren't we?"

"But we still have a human." James Ford is always very reliable when he is wise. "Humans are selfish creatures. I'm not sure he can give everything for Arthur."

"...I think Arthur's humans are pretty good."

"We always love humans, but humans don't necessarily love us." Zhanford shook his head, "I have a guess, what if the Kraken asks to exchange humans for martinella? Do you know how much he treats humans? Persistence, he even made portraits of the souls of those who unfortunately died."

"Maybe we can ask humans for their opinion..."

Zhanford shook his head slightly.

"Arthur won't agree."

Human beings searched all the reefs three times, but in the end they still found nothing.

They returned to Arthur's house with their own thoughts, and a heavy atmosphere spread between them.

After a while, Tricia came out of the room, her beautiful face was full of tiredness that could not be concealed.

"He passed out." She handed a white metal plate to the human, "For you."

The human took the recorder: "We found nothing."

"Forgive me for being powerless." Tricia was also very disappointed with the result, "I am a witch doctor, but I still can't treat this."

Jamford and Ford looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.

There was a heavy silence.

"Well..." Ford tried to break the silence, "What do we do now?"

The human was silent, and he looked down at the recorder in his hand.

--Don't worry.

There was a string of beautiful cursive characters on the screen, and a smiley face that bordered on goofy.

The human poked the smiling face with his finger, then raised his head expressionlessly.

"Let's go find the siren."
