good night my mermaid princess

It is said that heaven is a place where all wishes can be granted, where all people are treated equally.There is no nasty stuff there, no money is needed, God will provide all you need for free.There, you will never feel hunger, cold or pain, no suffering from diseases, no unreasonable misfortunes, you can make a wish to reunite with your dead relatives, and you will always be happy.Grandpa said that life in heaven is happy. You will see flowers and plants that you have never seen before, feel the deepest tenderness in the world, and even the wind has a fresh and pleasant smell.

Good smell?

Su frowned, no, this smell is not good at all, it smells like rotten fish in his nostrils.

Could it be... I went to hell?

The word hell in her mind directly frightened Su, she suddenly opened her eyes, trying to confirm where she was.

However, when she opened her eyes, she didn't see anything, she couldn't see the beautiful flowers and plants around her, or the raging flames, because she was surrounded by countless heads, and she could only see a circle of heads.

"Son, you're finally awake." A head with a white beard on its chin spoke.

"Uh..." Su covered his head and sat up, "Excuse me, where is this place?"

"Under the sea, the palace of the Neptune." A female head next to him took the words.

Neptune's Palace, what is this saying... and the bottom of the sea...

"It seems that I am dead... Heh, neither heaven nor hell..."

Suddenly, Su's arm was severely pinched.

"Oh!" Su cried out in pain.

"What are you thinking now?" Everyone around took a step back, and only the old man with a white beard stood beside Su.

"I don't know, I really don't, and I thought maybe you could tell me."

Su was already at a loss, could speak in pain, but the talk about the seabed still confused her.

The old man stroked his beard: "Someone found you outside the palace. According to your physical examination, you probably fainted from overwork. I have seen your legs. You are indeed human, but why can you be in the sea?" Breathing, it's confusing."

leg?As a human being, Su probed his head and glanced at the grandfather's feet.

Slippery tail, oh my!Look at the side, it's all tails!

Su was extremely shocked: "Tail, tail? Why do you all have tails?"

"We are mermaids, of course mermaids have tails." The old mermaid said with a smile.

"..." Su fell silent, all this sounds really bizarre.

She immediately thought of the manatee, an underwater creature that was often mistaken for a mermaid.When she was picking pearls, she once met one. She was frightened half to death at that time, and later she heard the captain say that it was a manatee.

But the ones who can talk in front of them are obviously not...their upper body is the same as that of a human. Could it be that they are really mermaids?

Curious and puzzled, Su couldn't help looking at the old man's tail a few more times.

The old man noticed that Su was looking at her tail, and deliberately flicked it in an arc, making an elegant tail wagging that attracted mermaids when he was young.

Su hurriedly buried her head, she felt very embarrassed that the old man fish noticed her sizing up.

The old man smiled and patted her on the shoulder.

"Can I leave here now?" Su was very disturbed by such a strangeness.

"Son, I'm afraid this won't work. Your body hasn't fully recovered, and there are still some curious unsolved mysteries about you."

The old mermaid replaced the drip she was hanging with, took off her white coat and said:

"You take a rest first, I'll change clothes and come back again, you know, because of your sudden appearance, I haven't showered for several days, and on the third day, I was really afraid that you would just sleep like this..."

Su nodded, and watched him leave with a complicated expression. It turned out that he still needed to take a bath in the sea, and that's how the smell of rotting fish came from...

A very boring stay alone for a long time.

During this period, Su looked at the inside and outside of this room. This room is directly a particularly large shell, with almost no traces of processing, and the lines are very natural. It was clean, probably because it was used as a ward.

Su sighed on the bed, and the super large transparent bubbles that she blew out independently floated up, and only then did she realize that the entire space was filled with water.

I can actually breathe in the water!

In order to confirm, Su took a deep breath, no, it should be a sip of water, she was surprised to find that her nasal cavity and mouth almost didn't feel water, the feeling of breathing was the same as on land, as if only air came in and out.

Is it because the nasal cavity automatically isolates the water and pumps out the air, or is it something else?In other words, the water here makes people feel almost no pressure and resistance, and the feeling of staying in the water is almost the same as that of land...

Facing the mysterious miracle that he couldn't solve even if he tried his best, Su resolutely gave up.She lay back on the bed, ready to rest for a while as the old man said.

At some point, Su was awakened by the sound of the door opening. The old mermaid led two other mermaids in, the middle-aged man mermaid and the old woman mermaid. There was no doubt that they all had tails, and those two mermaids had tails on their tails. A dozen oysters, with their clothes, feel very noble.

The middle-aged man Yu spoke first. Not only did he have handsome features, but his voice was also very deep and pleasant:

"What's your name, please?"

"Sue."

"Is there any of our kind in the family?"

"I don't think..."

"What do you want?"

"No……"

"Why did that come?"

"I don't know. I remember when I was picking pearls and the moment I caught them I passed out and I don't know why I ended up in this place."

Su answered honestly. When she mentioned the pearl, she lowered her head and looked at her right hand that was holding the pearl tightly.

The old man followed her gaze and said, "You are holding on to this pearl very tightly. We will not be able to break your hand. It is useless to find the strongest mermaid. It is obviously such a small hand..."

Su smiled sheepishly, and then she noticed that the old woman standing beside her was staring at Pearl.

The old woman's gaze was very strange, with an inexplicably deep chill, staring at Su with hairs on his hair.

Su silently hid the pearl behind her back.

The old woman withdrew her gaze in embarrassment, she pulled the middle-aged man to her side and started whispering, all the while aiming at Su non-stop.

Su La shrank back to the inside of the bed while holding the quilt.Their gaze made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles, their gazes were really aggressive.

Probably having noticed Su's embarrassment, the middle-aged merman hurriedly coughed and apologized covertly: "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

Afterwards, they said a few words of care to Su, and they left with excuses.

"Excuse me, who are they?"

Su secretly observed the old man's tail during the period, he had no oysters.

"Sea King and his mother can be said to be the most noble people here."

Su listened silently, this must be what the king and the king's mother meant.

"Scared you?"

"A little……"

Su didn't know why they looked at him like that, as if they were seeing a monster or something ominous.

"Maybe it's been a long time since humans have been here... Come, eat some of this."

The old man pushed something that looked like seaweed to Su.

"……thanks."

Su picked up the fork but couldn't do anything. In fact, she had no interest in this mess of things that could disturb her appetite.Doesn't look like anything edible at all...

"what happened?"

"It's nothing." Su replied quickly, she knew she couldn't do without food, she already felt that her physical strength was overdrawn, if she didn't replenish her physical strength, she might be even weaker.

In this way, I convinced myself to eat 1/3.

The old man nodded and started to eat by himself.While eating, say:

"I'm Simon, it doesn't matter if you call me Grandpa Simon or just call me directly. Well...it's delicious. Don't you really want to try it? This is my favorite side dish, and there are small shrimps in it. But...the best I still eat killer sponge, which is my favorite, next time I will ask the chef in the palace to make some for you."

"No, no, no." Su quickly waved her hands, the spitting taste in her throat made her endure very hard...

killer sponge?The name itself is an appetite killer.

Facing Su, who was dripping with cold sweat, Grandpa Simon shrugged his shoulders like a cute old man, and shook his head regretfully, expressing that Su didn't understand appreciation.

Su asked him: "I feel that I have recovered. May I ask you, when can I leave?"

Grandpa Simon spread his hands in embarrassment: "I have to ask Neptune and Grandma. They came to see you probably for this matter. There will be a result tomorrow at the earliest."

"Oh." Su didn't speak anymore, she put the pearls into her pockets, leaning on the bed made of white shells thoughtfully.

midnight.As punishment for eating less seaweed, Su's hungry stomach growled, feeling uncomfortable.

After tossing and turning, he couldn't fall asleep, and finally Su lifted the big lotus leaf quilt and walked out of the room, wanting to find the merman to ask where the kitchen is, and go to the kitchen to find something to eat.

However, the palace was terribly quiet at night. After walking for a long time, I couldn't see a single mermaid. Su was only accompanied by statues of fish guards in various fighting postures on both sides of the corridor and a row of coral lights on the top, one bright and one dark. The quiet blue light emitted by the lamp sprinkles in the corridor, and through the refraction of the water, it almost fills the entire space.Su crossed his arms and glanced at the coral lamp, feeling that besides being beautiful, there was also a hint of indescribable coldness.

In fact, Su was afraid of the dark night, and also of the light in the darkness.In the days of slave ships, nights should not be taken lightly. Sometimes the drunk captain and his men would "accidentally" come to the slave's place. They would come in with several very bright kerosene lamps. Those lamps are already antiques. Yes, it will leak oil, and if you are not careful, the hot oil will drip on your wrists, your ankles.Of course, what is more terrible than scalding is being severely beaten. At this time, you must quietly crawl to a safe place.Su remembered that once she accidentally fell into a deep sleep, and when she woke up, her face was bloody. It wasn't her blood, it came from her companion who was trampled to death lying next to her...

The whole palace is really very big, Su completely dizzy herself, she walked for quite a while, finally saw a corner, where there seemed to be light rubbing against the wall.

Turning around and walking a few steps, I saw the backs of Neptune and a mermaid with a knife. She was very close to them, and they were standing in the hall talking, so focused that they didn't notice the footsteps.

Su turned around, not intending to go over.But the quiet night gave away the secret of the conversation.

"...Mother's complexion is very bad today. She doesn't accept my proposal. She has always been so soft-hearted..."

"My lord, there is no time to hesitate anymore, or we can hide it from Grandma Anxi..."

"But nothing is confirmed yet... I'm just a little worried. After all, it's been 20 years, and no human has come to this place during this period...

"But what if she is the same as the person many years ago, or has something to do with it... There can be no womanly kindness at this time! I will kill her tonight."

kill her.These three words made Su's heart beat faster, and her immediate reaction was to run away.

Unexpectedly, in a different place, she still had the same murderous intentions. She walked away quietly and quickly, holding her breath.

As Su walked, he thought: Where can I escape to?

Not to mention that the palace is very big, she will get lost, even if she reaches the gate, there will definitely be guards there.What about going back to the ward?What about asking Grandpa Simon for help?It's useless, Grandpa Simon is a commoner, he shouldn't be able to disobey Neptune's request, if he really wants to kill himself, then he can only be a lamb to be slaughtered.

The sadness of no escape suddenly seeped from the bottom of her heart, she bit her lip, wondering what to do next.Suddenly, she felt the flow of water, as if something was rushing towards this side, the instinct of fear urged her to continue running, staggering steps, the more she ran, the more panicked she became.

And just when she was in a panic, something even weirder happened. The coral lamps on both sides began to flicker wildly, and the corridor was completely plunged into darkness amidst continuous and terrifying crackling sounds.

In the darkness where you can't see your fingers, hope is being eaten away bit by bit.

Su hated darkness very much, very much.Familiarity with the dark reminded her of the terrible night on the ship.

The demon who slaughtered every night, the smell of killing always filled his nostrils.

She felt that the heat from her body was draining away little by little, and her heart seemed to be suffocating, as if she was standing on the deck again, watching those terrible things happen, returning to the painful years of running and hiding with bare feet.

"Notice, the coral lights in the west corridor of the palace have a small problem. We will order someone to fix it immediately. The lights will be restored as soon as possible. Don't panic, and please stay where you are to avoid injury."

A voice spread from nowhere above her head, but it couldn't soothe Su's fright. She felt terrible, and she felt like she was enveloped by a big net that was being captured, and she couldn't escape no matter what. in.

The arm suddenly felt rubbing against human skin, and Su waved nervously.

Something fell to the ground with a muffled sound, and then there was the sound of bones rolling by.

It was very painful when the bent elbow hit something hard.Su sucked in a breath, the pain was so painful that tears welled up.

At the same time, there was a small voice behind:

"My statue..."

It can be heard that the voice is very regretful, even a little crying, and it probably hit something that the other party cherishes very much...

Su bit his lip, and slowly clenched his fists.

For her, this is not the time to apologize, the fear of her life has already made her nerves collapse to the tightest.She decided that if the other party asked her identity, she would decisively silence that person or mermaid.

However, there was nothing, Su just felt a gust of water rushing toward his face, and the other party seemed to be more concerned about the statue, so she searched in the dark very anxiously.

Su breathed a sigh of relief, let go of his fists, turned around and left.

Another groaning sound rolled by.

"Ah...you should hold me tighter..."

Hearing the sound, he probably slipped his hand after finding it.

But whatever is fine, it's none of your business.As Su Gang walked on both sides, he suddenly kicked something heavy.

...This is not her statue, is it?

Su frowned, ready to bypass.

"Why... can't find it..."

For some reason, this pitiful voice sounded particularly harsh. Su pursed his lips, knelt down and touched it with his hands.

It's really a statue of her...

She sighed in her heart, gritted her teeth and pushed the stone statue towards the direction where the girl's voice was just heard.

There was a rolling sound of bones.

"Hey hey hey!"

The other party was probably very surprised at the stone statue's return and return, but that's fine, thanks to this unexpected incident, Su is considered to be a little more sober, there is no point in running around like this, he should find a place to hide first.

But the long-lost light has come.

A cluster of light blue flames ignited at the front, one after another, and the light blue light filled the entire corridor from time to time.

The sudden light caused Su to break out in cold sweat, and his body became stiff.

Damn, it's an instant glance.

"Humanity?"

The small voice behind said in particular surprise.

The author has something to say:

At the beginning, Su didn't realize that he had time-traveled. There were no flood time-travel novels in that era, and his associations were not so fast... As for the familiarity with fairy tales, the story of "The Daughter of the Sea" is extremely special to Su (the details are placed in Later), due to some reasons, her memory has blurred this story, the details are unknown, very vague, it can be said to be a story about a mermaid.

At this stage, she thinks that she came to the bottom of the sea due to some chance, similar to the story of fishermen swimming in the Dragon Palace, it is still the same world.
