Diary of Raising a Mermaid
Chapter 25
【found it? really? 】
Lance was very happy. He left Winsor all at once and swam towards Quirrell.
Wencer had no choice but to follow behind.
When Lance arrived in front of Quirrell, Quirrell had changed back to the size of a tuft of jelly.
It said almost flatly:
[Yes, you see. 】
In order to make Lance see more clearly, Quirrell turned himself white, shining with light, acting as an incandescent lamp, swimming up, and illuminating the bow of the ship.
Sure enough, the words on the bow are "Queen Mary".
Lance burst into tears at that moment.
His beginning, the source of everything, was finally found.
"It turned out to be intact."
Lance could not help sighing with the light emitted by Quirrell.
"I thought it would break."
In Lance's nightmare, the Queen Mary was dismantled by sea monsters in various ways, but judging from the current appearance of the shipwreck, the Queen Mary was not as badly damaged as in his dream.
However, the several unnatural deformations above the cabin still indicate that something has attacked the Queen Mary.
"It's too late now, let's see it tomorrow."
Wencer swam over, touched Lance's head, and said.
Lance glanced at the cabin, it was dark and black, and he couldn't see anything. In the end, he could only agree to Wencer's proposal.
Seeing the two mermaids seemed to be leaving, Quirrell immediately moved forward and stood in front of Lance.
Lance was stunned for a moment, and asked Quirrell who stood in front of him:
[Is there anything wrong with you? 】
Quirrell rubbed his tentacles embarrassedly and asked:
[Can you be my teacher? I want to learn how to beat the drums like you. 】
Teach an octopus to play drums?
Lance felt that the world was really crazy, and was about to refuse, but when he saw Quirrell who was constantly shining in front of him, his eyeballs "gurgled" and agreed:
[Yes, but you must do what I said. 】
【Ok, Ok. 】
Quirrell put up a tentacle and swears solemnly.
[Teacher, you said go east, I definitely don't go west. 】
[Deal! 】
Lance immediately issued an order, [Now, we start from the basic course... If you don't have anything to do at night, do what I did before and make a simple drum stand by yourself. 】
【no problem! 】
Quirrell stood tall, spread his eighteen tentacles, and immediately walked away.
When Lance saw Quirrell leave, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head, and saw Wencer looking at him with a strange look.
"what's happenin?"
Lance was confused.
"Don't you think the conversation just now sounds familiar?"
Wencer asked.
Lance: "..."
Thinking about it this way, it seems to be true. He was in the coral bone at the beginning, wasn't that what he promised to Winser?
Just now there is a problem, Lance doesn't seem to listen to Wencer very much.
Lance touched his nose and started to divert the subject:
"Let's find a place to sleep, um, yes, staying up late is not good, it will cause hair loss."
Wencer raised his eyebrows. He hugged Lance's waist and asked:
"together?"
"Of course they are together."
Lance didn't think how strange it was for two mermaids to sleep together, he was very used to Wencer wrapping him with his tail now.
…
No dream for a night.
Lance found a cabin, and the bed in the cabin was still there, so Lance took Wenser and slept on the bed for the first time.
The black and white fish tails are bent, and the gauze-like tail fin covers the two mermaids. It really looks like a couple sleeping together under the quilt.
In the morning, the sun rose.
The sun shining through the sea into the cabin, Lance couldn't help but wrinkle his nose, he closed his eyes, and subconsciously buried his face in Wincer's black tail fin.
For these days, because Lance is a fish, his nerves have been in a tight state. When he sleeps at night, a little bit of wind and grass will wake Lance, and he has not slept well.
And now, with Wencer by his side, Lance felt extremely safe, and went to sleep with confidence. After all these days, he slept best with this one.
Winsor woke up when Lance moved. He watched Lance arching towards him and couldn't help but smile. He shook Lance's shoulder and said:
"It's morning, don't you wake up? There is still a'Queen Mary' outside."
"No, don't care."
Lance replied in a daze, with a little nasal sound, the white membrane inside his eyelids did not open. He continued to drill towards Wencer and said intermittently.
"I want to sleep."
He is sleeping soundly now, drunk, and can't wait to sleep enough.
However, an Ozhang monster outside directly pulled Lance back from heaven—
[Teacher, get up and teach me to play the drums! ! 】
Immediately there was the "crackling" noise of percussively striking the iron piece, especially.
The loud and harsh knocking outside scared Lance to wake up directly from his dream. He immediately raised his head and glanced at Wencer.
The posture of the two is a bit awkward now.
Along with the beating of the horrible scenery outside, Lance and Wencer stared with big eyes and small eyes for a long while, and all the ambiguous atmosphere disappeared, thinking about how to cook the noisy Ozhang outside.
Lance let go of the tail entangled with Wincer with a "swish", and then quickly swam out along the small window above the cabin, and shouted unbearably at Quirrell, who was still making noises outside. :
[Stop it! 】
The noise of tapping the iron without rhythm outside came to an abrupt end.
And inside the cabin, after Lance left, Wencer flicked his tail, and he looked at the cabin again.
Human creation...
Half an hour later, Wencer was eating sashimi while watching Lance scold Quirrell.
It seemed that Quirrell's noise made Lance's psychological shadow quite big.
[Noisy noise can cause a heart attack. 】
While Lance was eager to popularize science, he tapped the iron pieces collected by Quirrell with a stick. He was trying to use these things to simply make a small drum stand for Quirrell.
[I was wrong, teacher! 】
Now Quirrell admires Lance very much. Whatever Lance says, it has an attitude of "what the teacher said is right".
Lance could only roll his eyes on this, and then tried to instill a sea monster with the knowledge that "It is everyone's responsibility to resist noise."
As for whether this sea monster can hear it, it doesn't matter to Lance.
However, in fact, the iron sheet is not enough for Lance to make a drum stand.
Lance is not so ingenious either. His web claws are destined to make things that he cannot make as delicate as humans. What's more, there is no material in the bottom of the sea.
Seeing that the "drum stand" in his hand was getting further and further away from its original appearance, Lance sighed and screamed up to the sky, thinking about whether to die.
But Lance couldn't bear to look at Quirrell's shiny peasy eyes.
He is so entangled, is he a dead master and apprentice? Or dead mentor and apprentice? Or dead mentor and apprentice?
【Oh, right. 】
Lance suddenly thought that the cruise ship he boarded back then, the Queen Mary, had a band performance on it.
If you are lucky, maybe they are looking in the cabin now, and they can still find some wreckage of musical instruments.
At least let Quirrell see what the authentic drum stand looks like?
Lance quickly told Quirrell his thoughts.
[I, I, take me. 】
Hearing that, Quirrell became excited, and it began to flash non-stop, like a neon light, [I can help illuminate the inside. 】
【it is good. 】
The biggest problem, after the light source problem was solved, Lance breathed a sigh of relief.
Without further ado, Lance decided to put everything aside first, and went to look inside the Queen Mary, so he went to find Winser.
To Lance's only slight surprise, Winser not only caught some fish for breakfast for the two of them, but also caught some small jellyfish and put them beside him.
These jellyfish were no more than fists and floated beside Wencer. Although Wencer didn't tether them, none of them dared to run.
In Lance's puzzled sight, Winser handed Lance a prepared fish fillet and explained:
"These jellyfish have luminous blue algae in them. When they are brought into the dark, they can glow."
"Wow, it's nice to be with you."
Lance was chewing his breakfast while blowing a rainbow fart. His eyes were sparkling, and he admired Winser for finding this creature.
Wincer raised his chin restrainedly and accepted the compliment from Lance.
He likes to prepare with both hands for everything.
After making sure that they were foolproof, Lance and Winser, as well as a group of sea creatures that acted as light bulbs, entered the sunken ship.
Although the Queen Mary was no longer as glamorous as Lance remembered at this time, the scene inside the cruise ship came back to life in Lance's brain at the moment when he set foot on the shipwreck.
He can still remember his excitement when he boarded this ship.
[This is the viewing area. 】
Lance compared the remnants here with the few places he had visited in his memory.
Unlike before, he used his feet to walk past this last time, but now he uses fish tails to swim past this place.
Lance pulled Quirrell, who served as an electric light bulb, and swam to the left. After passing through a corridor, they entered a large empty room.
[Wow, this place is so big. 】
Quirrell said with emotion, and at the same time it turned the brightness up a bit, wanting to see more.
The Queen Mary is indeed a prestigious cruise ship. The layout inside has been specially treated. Even if the whole ship was overturned by the eighteen-clawed fish Quilo, the things in this room can still be seen a little bit. The original luxury.
Broken crystal lights, the band's exclusive stage in the southeast corner, and a long dining table for meals.
There is still gold paint on the pillars inside, surrounded by thick seaweed, barely showing the luxury of the year.
[This is the ballroom. 】
Lance explained, [I used to go to a party here. 】
However, Quirrell and Winsor were both attracted by the pile of things in the southeast corner, and they swam over.
Lance frowned and swam over, wanting to see what was in the shadow—
A piano.
To be precise, it is the remains of a piano.
The cruise ship nailed the piano to the floor, so it is still there.
Of course, there is only one outline left, only a few black and white keys on the keyboard are still in place, and the piano strings inside pop out all directions, spreading teeth and dancing claws.
[This is a piano. 】
Lance explained in due course, and at the same time, his expression was very sad—
Inside the piano, he saw a human skull.
Lance couldn't imagine how humans escaped for their lives when the ship was sinking.
Perhaps something quickly solved all humans, so that the humans here didn't have time to react, and they just died in it.
[There are a lot of remains of musical instruments here. 】
Winsor pointed to the pile of black goo in the corner of the wall, and looked at the metal gleam in pieces.
Lance flicked his tail, swam over, looked at the piece of metal, and vaguely felt it was a flute.
He wanted to get the flute out, but Wencer stopped it.
Lance looked up at Winsor suspiciously.
And Winser only returned a meaningful answer:
"You don't want to know how this mass of black matter came from."
Lance:! !
[Are there any drums? 】
Quirrell didn't notice the sadness on Lance's body. It was happy for a while to see so many pieces of musical instruments, and frantically rummaged in the corners.
Such a random search really made it find a few broken drums behind the broken curtain behind the stage, as well as the metal drum stand that once supported the drums.
Seeing this, Quirrell couldn't help but screamed:
[Teacher, come and have a look! 】
Lance swam over and found that this was the lounge behind the stage.
There is a broken drum stand here. Lance looked at it for a moment, stepped forward to straighten the drum stand, and then looked around, put some things still on the ground back, and restored the drum stand to a seven'seventh. 'Eight' eight.
[Probably that's it, you come to see the structure. 】
Lance called Quirrell to come over, and then he looked in the lounge again.
Humans, when they enjoy themselves, they always scrutinize every aspect.
In order to meet the needs of different customers, different types of musical instruments are prepared on the cruise ship.
For example, yesterday’s party may be a classical musical of the upper class, but today it may be heavy metal rock.
The party that Lance attended was a rock party for young people alone.
And now, these rock instruments have been received in the back lounge, and the front is classical instruments, it is very likely that the rock instruments have been stored in the instrument box.
Lance began to search here.
And luckily, he actually found a musical instrument box.
"what is this?"
Wencer swam over and asked.
"The box for the bass."
Lance's eyes gleamed.
This is the box he found in the fallen cabinet.
Maybe some bass player forgot to take it and put it in his locker, but he didn't expect that after that day, he would never have the opportunity to take his bass again.
But now there is an advantage, that is, the bass box is fine, and there is a lock on it.
But for Lance, the lock on the top was useless. He effortlessly pulled the lock open with his nails, and then accidentally received a brand new bass.
Lance was very happy, put on the bass pretendingly, and played a few strings.
…
The bottom can listen to a fart.
Lance sighed, blew a few bubbles, and prepared bass to put it back in the box.
"Wait a minute, there seems to be something in it."
Wencer said suddenly.
"What else can this box contain?"
Lance thought it was funny, he put the bass in the box, but accidentally got stuck.
Lance blinked and was about to take the bass out and put it in again. Unexpectedly, he accidentally opened the top layer—
Sure enough, there is another layer below.
A sniper rifle.
Lance: "..."
Fuck, there is a killer in the band!
