【Boom Out】Mermaid

The memory of mermaids is very short. Their life is eating and hunting day after day. They can survive for too long. They are the same age as all the deep sea sunsets in this world. There are very few things they need to remember. They wake up every day to see a new sun rise, and they will forget the sun of the previous day. There is nothing new in this daylight, but the old things repeat themselves. There is nothing worth remembering. Everything in this world is in front of the ageless mermaid. They are all equal and humble, meaningless ants, they are the gears that record the passage of time, turning repeatedly indifferently and orderly.

But Hong Jiaodong could never forget that ice surface without sunlight, that sailor who was naked to the waist and with red eyes calling his name, until the moment before he was about to die, his consciousness was still in the vast ice and snow, that In a trembling and hot embrace.

He has seen a lot of human beings across the sea. They sang and danced passionately, saluting each other with champagne on the deck to celebrate the beginning of a massacre and fishing. Human beings are really strange and cruel creatures. They take pleasure in the death of another creature. Silky air bubbles blew from the bottom of the orange goblet to the surface of the cup, and on the stretched complicated skirts were drunk knights, whores held feather-edged fans and fanned them slightly, curling up the corners of their mouths Showing a coquettish and stiff smirk, the giant ship painted bright colors in the night with a high-pressure flamethrower. It may have been ten years ago, but Hong Jiaodong couldn't clearly remember the node of time, and the huge ship sailed into the In this sea area, the flags flying on every ship are images of naked human bodies and fishtails.

The mermaid on the banner is like the Venus in the oil painting. She is lying in the shell, her azure blue fish tail hangs from the huge shell, a tear drips from her right eye, and her plump breasts are covered by the falling black long curly hair. Gorgeous, hot and cold, hidden in the night, he looked at this mermaid portrait that was different from his cognition with some confusion - there are no female mermaids, they only have males.

Mermaids do not rely on their own race to reproduce, they rely on human beings, both male and female, they will plunder every sailing ship in every breeding season, cut off the ship with the sharp tail fin edge, and snatch the human beings who fall into the sea to return to themselves The lair of the merman - this is the knowledge that every mermaid knows when he is born.

The first reproductive period of mermaids after entering adulthood is extremely difficult for them. They need to degenerate scales during this period. First, they will be covered with scales all over their bodies, and then tear off their original scales like eagles and grow out. Sharper and more indestructible scales, their extremely fast-growing bones will crack their fragile skin, and they will be stunned outside the body, like a crawling insect whose wings have been ripped off. After these two periods, they will enter an unprecedented , During the magma-like high fever period, they were tortured to the point of death, and many mermaids would die in this last round—because they didn’t rob humans, or they were killed by the humans they robbed.

All mermaids are the products of the combination of humans and mermaids. During this process of being eliminated by nature, only in this first breeding period are the forms closest to humans, without scales, without claws, bloody and weak Incomparable, lying dying in front of human beings, they are weaker than human beings only at this period of their life, they can be easily killed by human beings, and human beings can also save mermaids, the mermaids mated by human beings will survive and give birth to mermaids at the same time child.

- This is a natural cycle.

Ten years ago, more than a dozen large and resplendent ships came to this sea where strangers should not enter. Before they entered the mermaid island in the center of the sea, these moving ships were brutally sunk by a group of mermaids. The man He and the woman fell into the sea in despair and were snatched away by mermaids. The wooden barrels filled with red wine were broken open and rendered intoxicating red on the sea surface. Dong just witnessed all this calmly, he has not yet reached adulthood, these things have nothing to do with him.

The influx of a huge number of people into the Mermed Sea has led to the craziest breeding season.

The terrified and desperate human beings were tied up by the mermaid, not daring to disobey, and forced to die //// matched to death. The strong human beings succumbed to the mermaid, and hacked the mermaid to death when he was weakest, and escaped. Emotionless mermaids, beautiful human beings with bewildering appearances, and mermaids who fell in love with human beings with honey-belly swords all died in that grand, lewd, breeding season that slowly ended with the departure of spring, and rotting bones filled every piece Under the wrecked boat, blood flowed on all lakes.

But among so many humans, Green Valley is also the strangest human being that Hong Jiaodong has ever seen.

He didn't abandon him, didn't kill him, and he didn't fall in love with him, he just embraced him, like a human being hugging another human being, calling his name anxiously and hotly, in the coldness where no life can be seen Here, together with him, he becomes two frozen corpses covered with weather, facing death or dawn. He has no reason to hope that a mermaid will live, but he has no reason not to want him to die.

His olive-green eyes reflect his ugliness, he is no longer good-looking, he has ushered in his first breeding season, his face and body are covered with mottled scales, his ribs and shoulder blades are raised high His skin was even more unsightly than the most grotesque fish he had ever seen. No sailor would be seduced by such a mermaid, and no sailor would stay to mate with him. He would die soon.

He hugged the sailor's waist, and buried his unrecognizable face in his arms as if hiding, like a child who was unwilling to face the reality. There was no sweat on Green Valley's skin, and his body was covered with ice. The dried ice flakes couldn't help making a low "hiss" when rubbing against the mermaid. The mermaid's scales fell off unconsciously, scattered red and white all over the ground, and the end of the scales was still stained with Xue Jia. Green Valley Heart palpitations, fish will only shed their scales when they are about to die, he knelt on the ground, hugged the mermaid curled up in his arms, and increased his volume, but the sound was still loud in the raging cold wind. To be cut and broken:

"Hang Jiao Dong, hey! Open your eyes! Please!"

The mermaid's ear fins slightly stretched twice, and he opened a blue eye that was covered with scales. He looked at the green valley that was about to cry in confusion, and suddenly reached out to touch the sailor with trembling difficulty. Tears that are about to fall, he has seen human tears, human beings cry in times of despair, when they are angry, when they die, they cry for themselves, for tomorrows that do not see the sun and for yesterdays that have passed away, but Why is he crying - because I'm dying?

——There has never been a human being who cried when the mermaid died. They usually laughed hysterically, holding up the golden knife and silver fork stolen from the mermaid's lair, cursing the damn monster madly, dividing their expensive and rare Beautiful bone skin.

Mermaids can't cry. From birth to now, he has never seen any mermaid tears. Mermaid tears are like a taboo that cannot be made public. No mermaid can touch them. He has no way to shed tears. He tried Trying to imitate the crying behavior of these humans, but the mermaid seems to be born with one less gland called lacrimal gland than humans. No matter how hard he tries, he can't flow out this transparent liquid. He half-closed his eyes, and the inside is dead. He looked at the warm liquid on his fingertips, which was the same temperature as this person's embrace.

Green Valley still hugged him, he began to sway from the cold, his face was a strange blush, he rubbed his scorched shoulders and face dizzily, trying to rely on such a primitive way to give him He kept warm, but soon found that the scales fell shockingly under rubbing. He was helpless, and began to stand up tremblingly, jumped a few times, ran to warm up, and then came back to hug the mermaid, sticking to the surface of the mermaid covered in scales naked , wanting to transfer his own temperature to him, the physical strength consumed in this way was unconsciously huge, and soon Lv Gu was exhausted and knelt on the ice, panting with his head raised, he hadn’t eaten for a long time, and the whole body was in a trance Burning with heat from nowhere, his eyes became slack for a moment, Lvgu shook his head violently, took a deep breath, stood up on his knees, ran a few steps and came back trembling with the mermaid in his arms.

He was almost delirious, relying entirely on instinct to rescue the mermaid, the mermaid breathed weakly, he trembled his ear fins, and Lu Gu was stunned, he heard the faint, low voice almost inaudible The weak voice he heard rang directly in his brain:

"Why don't you go?"

Green Valley's face was covered with frozen frost, which was dyed exactly the same white by the snow all over the sky. His eyes were still clean and clear, like the brightest and clearest sky that Hong Jiaodong had ever seen. He was panting heavily. Angry and puzzled from the bottom of his heart, he lowered his head and pressed against the ugly face of the mermaid, trying to support the dying mermaid with his own body temperature. answer:

"You are asking for help, why should I go?"

Hong Jiaodong looked at Lugu quietly, he could hear the sound of his bones growing crisply, and the sound of his skin being stretched and ripped, but he didn't feel anything anymore, he had already been frozen to death Now, only the position where the human hugs and clings to each other has a slight sense, and this weak sense supports him, making him gasp for breath, unable to die, Hong Jiao Dong blinked his eyes, he saw the eyes of the sailor He was extremely ugly, like a monster that grew out of the deepest seabed, and the sailor's eyes were so clear that even the ugly outline of the monster seemed to be softened by his eyes. The mermaid said slowly:

"——I may have to mate with you to survive, and you will probably die during the mate. Don't you go?"

The sailor swallowed with difficulty, he stood up a little sluggishly and tremblingly on the ice, the mermaid closed his eyes quietly as if he already knew the ending, snowflakes sprinkled all over his body Like a layer of white veil covering the face of a dying man, the mermaid was awakened by a kiss on the eyes, and he saw the sailor who was stripped naked and shrunk into his arms, and the sailor was trembling while rubbing his hands, he seemed It was because she buried her head in his chest shyly, her voice was low and soft, with a little trembling, as if a jellyfish brushed the tentacles at the end of his eyes from his sleep:

"--You do it."

The snow fell more and more, and the scorching frost entered the high fever period that burned him to death. When he savagely pressed his sailors against the ice shell and kissed him, his scalding body temperature melted the ice and the sailors, and they fell together. In the sea, he kissed the corners of the sailor's eyes that were red from crying, interlocked fingers with the unconscious sailor irresistibly, and wrapped him tenderly with the tail of the fish.

The mermaid and the sailor survived together.
