【Boom Out】Mermaid

When Lugu let Baohao out, he was pressed and bitten a few more times as expected. He was pressed against the glass wall, and even his body was crushed and deformed by the beast that was finally released from the cage. He begged for mercy several times He didn't calm down the mermaid who didn't know why he was so angry, but old Charlie impatiently said directly to Bakugo in the language of the mermaid:

"If you mess with him again, he will die."

Bakugou’s pupils stood up, and he slowly wagged his tail in the water, his tail fins spread threateningly, and he stared at old Charlie sullenly, and old Charlie could see from the corner of the mermaid’s mouth that he was ready to go. Fangs, old Charlie brushed Green Valley, who panicked and climbed up the box panting, wondering if this reckless kid knew how terrifying the mermaid he had provoked was, but turned his head to show the mermaid A hypocritical smile:

"You can try to kill him directly, I have to tell you, this guy hasn't slept for a long time because of you."

Coughing and coughing, Green Valley climbed out of the glass box, his hair was soaked, and his eyelashes were covered with water drops. With his red eye sockets, he looked like he was bullied and cried a lot in the box. The back of his hand stroked his dripping cheeks, and he froze for a moment. He seemed to feel the cold and sharp feeling of fish scales on his face just now, did they stick to his face when Xiao Sheng fell off?

After old Charlie finished speaking, he arbitrarily snatched the key he had so hard to get from the hand of Green Valley, who had not yet recovered. He waved the black wooden stick that had not been lit as a weapon, violently He lowered his head and approached Green Valley, threatening the young sailor who was retreating with a vicious voice:

"You'd better hold back the guy you released. I'm going to find the dog now. Didn't you say you have clues about where it was held? I've helped you release this guy. Now It's your turn to tell me the information!"

The golden mermaid who has just passed the breeding season is still flicking his tail that has just molted and grown again, the upper part of his tail has become more powerful and slender, the tails of his eyes are strangely elongated, and his face has changed from that of a teenager. At the age of 20, the outline of the face has become more severe and sharp, and the skeleton has expanded outwards, but the growing desire to kill and the sense of oppression to other creatures remain unchanged. It was the prey he wanted to brutally cut apart.

Baohao stretched out his hands and rubbed his shoulders, while looking at Green Valley vigilantly, firmly locking this guy in his sight, while Green Valley with his back to the glass was unconscious, but old Charlie was caught by this guy again. The mermaid's eyes were so naked that it made people's heart skip a beat. This mermaid didn't regard Green Valley as prey or food, but it seemed that he regarded Green Valley as the possession of those treasures, which were firmly occupied by the dragon. , other people will show sharp nails and angry flames if they look at it twice.

Old Charlie backed away a little calmly, distanced himself from Green Valley, the mermaid bared his teeth manically and threatened him, this arrogant mermaid quickly gave him his attention, and put all his heart and soul into it. Staring at Lu Gu, Lu Gu looked up at him eagerly:

"Mr. Charlie, I think you need to come with me—"

Old Charlie became irritable as if his toe was stuck by a fork that fell from the dining table:

"No, give me the information, you don't need to intervene in the matter between me and that guy, just take care of the guy behind you, don't be naively eaten by the pets you released so that there are not even bones left! "

For the first time, old Charlie showed that kind of deep and lonely eyes. He looked at Green Valley, as if he was looking at his other self decades ago. That is not a good story, and it is not a good ending now, it is just A sailor's ugly and dirty emotion for a sea animal, and this emotion, stretched and incessant, tormented him to the present age, a sinking disease deposited in the bone debris, even if he was killed by that little Charlie Burned to ashes, there is no way to get rid of his soul.

He was about to die of old age. In the face of extreme love and hatred, the weight of life was lighter than dry scales. Old Charlie rubbed his forehead tiredly, his shoulders slumped there, unable to support a piece of clothing for him. The tailor-made dress, although the dress was glamorous, was not far from wearing it on him as it was on a rotten wooden stake. Old Charlie's voice was difficult, intermittent, and trance:

"Green Valley, you must know that before a person goes to heaven, oh, no, God will probably let me, a bad old man, go to hell. Yes, before a person goes to hell, he must give himself a relief. Do you understand what I am talking about? ?”

Old Charlie took off the blindfold, revealing his dead white prosthetic eye, the waves of light in the water tank lingering over them, the aged captain looked at the hundreds of keys in his hand, and said to himself in a trance. language:

"And this relief, only that guy can give me, do you understand, I hated him countless times, resented him, wished to kill him, and wished to die at his mouth, I can't remember how many times I have dreamed After this guy innocently called my name, swam over and warmed me with his tail, you know, the winter in the town is always very cold, I would see him in my dream, after waking up , I thought I was going to freeze to death, but I didn't."

Old Charlie paused, changed the subject abruptly, and asked Green Valley:

"Do you know why I told you not to stay past the full moon?"

Green Valley shook his head, Old Charlie smiled bleakly, and even said in a curse-like vicious scream:

"Of course you don't know. When you look at these monsters now, are they obedient to you, as if you want a piece of coral that can glow because you are afraid of the dark, and they will find it for you across the entire ocean and hold it in front of you. Calling your name, I long for you to smile shyly at them, but this is the nature of animals. The male bird in estrus supports the female bird, the male lion in the breeding season will hunt for the lioness, and the mermaid that breeds offspring is nothing more than the same. After the full moon of their rut, you are no longer their plundered mate—”

Old Charlie said softly, choked with sobs: "——you are just a piece of flesh that is alive and can talk, and loves them as much as you want."

Green Valley froze for a moment, and he looked at the hideous wound on Old Charlie's foot almost in horror. The wound had obviously been going on for many years, and the bone must have been deep and bloody, but Old Charlie showed it without any concealment. His ankle was surrounded by the tooth marks of wild beasts. He looked at the trembling Green Valley and smiled coldly:

"Poor kid, it seems that you have realized it too. Look at the tooth marks on your body, are they exactly the same as the one on my feet? As long as the fish that bite you are more ruthless and hungry, these mermaids that have passed the breeding season will be fine." It can cruelly bite off your bones, chew and swallow you like any food in the sea."

Old Charlie paused, and said in a completely exhausted manner, he was almost completely immersed in painful memories, his left eye was as pale and empty as his right eye:

"——I should have hated him for being outspoken, and cursed this guy to die at the hands of the cruelest people, but this bastard... I exchanged my right to escape with my eyes, but in fact I concealed your follow-up Thing, a weak sailor, just had one eye gouged out, bloody smell all over his body, no matter where he goes, he is a moving attraction, I was quickly caught by Al, he seemed very angry, Opened the mouth full of fangs, and bit my ankle fiercely, I thought I was going to die, I have seen many other humans die in the mouth of the merman after the breeding season-"

Old Charlie was silent for a long time, and he said hoarsely: "——then this guy, he crushed the bone in my calf and let me go."

Green Valley said silently: "The seventh room, the seventh from the kitchen, the number of shifts there is wrong, it should not be an ordinary mermaid, and - that room is the only room that I know will have lights, I remember Ai I like lights very much, as long as there is light, I will be quiet and touch the light."

Lugu looked at the back of old Charlie limping out with the key, sighed with complicated eyes, turned his head to meet Baohao's mocking face, Baohao looked down at Lugu condescendingly with his chest in his arms, and said with a sneer:

"Green Valley, there is no mermaid who likes light in this world. Except for me, these waste things are afraid of fire and light. Is the thing you are talking about really a mermaid?"

Green Valley was stunned, he remembered the first meeting with Al and began to be puzzled again, this beautiful and over-the-top mermaid is indeed an oil lamp hanging on the glass box and it will appear by itself, wagging its tail briskly, its appearance is hazy and blurred He stretched out his fins to catch the light that would soon disappear in the water.

【—As if you want a piece of luminous coral because you are afraid of the dark, they will find it for you across the entire ocean, hold it in front of you and call your name, longing for you to smile shyly at them—”

Green Valley was stunned, he turned his head suddenly, and then looked back blankly at the place where old Charlie disappeared. This experienced old captain knew that mermaids are afraid of fire, but he didn't know that mermaids are not afraid of light, why, because mermaids are afraid of light, but The people who were snatched back were creatures that turned to light. Mermaids endured themselves for human beings, suppressed their nature of being afraid of light, and crossed the entire sea area for human beings shivering in the dark, looking for a piece of luminous coral that could please him. Of course, they don't know that mermaids are afraid of light, and they don't know that even the scales of the fish are trembling in fear of the monster that holds up the light for itself.

——Even in the end, the human beings left, and the mermaid turned into a light-thirsty monster through some unknown changes. It was easy to be caught by a lamp lit at night, and by a smell of blood similar to old Charlie. ground capture.

But the mermaid forgot that human beings will grow old. He only had eyes for the young little Charlie, this human who looked somewhat similar to the sailor he once captured, shaking his tail fin for him.

He was so naive that he didn't know that all the animals in this world except him would grow old.
