Diary of Raising a Mermaid

Chapter 35

The weather tonight was good, and the ocean at night became much milder than usual under the background of countless stars, and it seemed to be the same as the ocean many years ago.

Above the sea, there is a ship floating on the sea.

On the deck, a boy leaned against the side of the boat and looked into the distance curiously.

In his vision, the distant ocean was dark, and he didn't know what was inside.

"Xiao Ding, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing?"

A middle-aged Huohui saw the boy on the deck, he walked over, patted the boy on the shoulder, and said, "You have been busy all day, go back to sleep."

The boy called "Xiao Ding" shook his head and said nonsense to his cheeks with excitement:

"It is said that we are approaching Sunset Bay. This is the first time I have approached Sunset Bay."

Hearing this, the bearded man couldn't help frowning.

Xiaoyoung is like this, too curious.

You can see a fart in the ocean at night. If you are curious at this time, it is better to hurry up and rest.

"I heard that the boats entering the sunset bay rarely come back."

Xiaoding still looked curious, "Some people say that there are sea monsters living in the sunset bay. Is this true?"

"What? You still want us to meet the Shanghai monster?"

The bearded man was amused, "You know that when encountering Shanghai monsters, nine out of ten are dead, and the remaining one is also a lunatic. Do you want this result?"

Xiaoding was silent.

This year is his first year working on the ship, so he is naturally curious about everything.

There are sea monsters in the ocean, which is already the consensus of people who live on the edge of the coast and make a living by fishing.

The land is no longer safe. Although sea monsters in the ocean cause huge casualties when they come out, sea monsters do not often occur.

In this way, fishing at sea is much safer than staying on land.

As for what the sea monsters look like, according to the "Handbook of Sea Monsters" promulgated by the United Nations, the known sea monsters are all giants of existing creatures——

Including giant starfish and sea urchins, as well as the giant squid, which is already huge.

No one knows how much damage these sea monsters are, but one thing is certain, human ships, in front of sea monsters, are as fragile as a piece of paper.

The only good news is that sea monsters do not like to show up on the sea, which may be related to temperature and solar radiation.

Except for decades ago, sea monsters appeared on the sea and overturned all those driving on the sea at the time.

Apart from ships, sea monsters have not actively attacked humans in the past few decades.

As long as humans do not invade their territory without authorization and provoke them, these sea monsters will not appear under normal circumstances.

As for why Xiao Ding was so curious, it was mainly because Xiao Ding once went to sea with his father when he was three or four years old. He accidentally saw a huge sea monster going to sea far away.

Because he was too young at that time, Xiaoding could not remember exactly what the huge sea monster looked like. The only thing he remembered was the kind that the huge sea monster brought to him after it surfaced. A sense of shock.

Xiaoding always remembered the shock of facing the sea monster.

Even now, he can still remember that he held his breath and shuddered all over. The kind of weak creatures born to surrender to a powerful master made people dizzy and could not forget for a long time.

Because of the impact that the scene brought to Xiao Ding that year, the young Xiao Ding looked in a trance for a period of time, and finally waited for people to wake up. Several years have passed.

Growing up, Xiaoding asked his parents for the scene of seeing a sea monster at the time, but they didn’t know why. His parents said that they had never seen a sea monster before, and told Xiaoding that he must have dreamed of it. Sea monster.

Xiaoding was aware of this kind of statement.

From then on, Xiao Ding never told anyone about the sea monsters he had seen when he was a child, but every time he dreamed back, Xiao Ding couldn't help but indulge in the shock that the sea monsters brought him back then.

Therefore, when the recruitment office said that the ship would wander around the bay in the early sunset, Xiaoding did not hesitate to sign up and directly became the new crew member of the ship.

You know, at that time, many people heard that the recruiting office said that the ship was going to the vicinity of Sunset Bay and turned around and left. Therefore, Xiaoding became the only young crew member on the ship.

"I think that seeing the sea monster is dead without regret."

Xiaoding answered the question of the crew member's beard.

He really thinks it's so good.

After hearing this, the bearded man was taken aback, and then laughed. He shook his head, thinking that Xiaoding must have not been in the second period:

"Tsk tsk, the captain is a madman, and the crew you are looking for is also a madman, **** fucking."

However, he didn't bother to persuade him anymore, so he shook his head and sighed how a good young man had a mental illness, and went back to the cabin to rest.

Today is a troubled world, everyone is struggling to survive on the sea, making a circle on the sea.

It's good not to be swallowed by the black storm, not to mention going around in various sea monster fields.

On weekdays, this ship is nothing more than fishing and transporting goods. It doesn't make much money, so it barely makes a living.

However, as the saying goes, money can make the ghosts go ahead.

The rewards issued by the "Doom Lab", coupled with the discovery of large fish and killer whales nearby, are equivalent to a lot of money.

If they had this money, they would have no worries about food and drink for at least ten years, so their captain gritted his teeth and took the entire ship to Sunset Bay.

Sunset Bay is the tomb of the legendary ship. There is a strange magnetic field here, which can make all the instruments used to indicate the direction fail.

Even more frightening is that it is said that under the sea, there is a huge octopus sea monster, that is, it drew all passing ships into the sea, and all the crew members were eaten by it.

The request for the reward of "Doom Lab" is very simple, it is to capture strange creatures near the sunset bay.

This request seems strange, but it is better than directly requesting to cross the Sunset Bay. In addition, there must be a brave under the heavy money. Apart from Xiaoding's ship coming to patrol nearby, there are still a few ships nearby.

All this is a sign before the onset of wind and rain.

...

Lance didn't know the situation above the sea, and he was now thinking about going back into the sunken ship quickly to see if Wincer was awake.

And this time, Lance finally saw the picture he dreamed of——

Wencer woke up, he was sitting in the cabin, smiling and waiting for him to come back.

"Winser?"

Lance’s eyes lit up, and he even forgot that he still had fish in his hand. Under the surprise, he subconsciously let go of his hand. As a result, two small dark blue fishes immediately jumped out of Lance’s hands. With a sound, he ran into the ocean without a trace.

Lance: "..."

His head is blank, he wants to catch those two fishes, then there is a question now.

One fish goes to the left and the other goes to the right. Should Lance go left or right?

Lance was thinking about this problem, so he was in the middle now, dumbfounded, like a piece of wood.

Wincer blinked, he held back a smile, and asked:

"What are you doing there in a daze?"

"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat fish?"

Lance then remembered what the immediate priority was, so he hurriedly asked, preparing to catch two more fish for Wencer to eat.

"No need to."

Wencer shook his head and beckoned Lance to come over.

Lance swam into the cabin obediently, eyes

Looking at Wencer baffledly.

Wencer asked curiously:

"Are you catching that kind of fish every day?"

"Yes, because that kind of fish is delicious, I think you should like it too."

Lance said, "Today I ran into a school of killer whales. They gave me these two fish."

Lance concealed the price of acquiring these two fishes--

Was sucked by a killer whale.

"Just take care of yourself during this time, don't worry about me."

Wencer knew how difficult it was to catch that kind of fish, and he couldn't help but persuade him.

Regarding Winsor's words, Lance didn't pay attention to it, because he was aware of the main point:

"Are you going to sleep?"

"Yes, it's a little bit close."

The darkness in Winsor's eyes was dark and ups and downs, he said,

"I thought about eating him directly, but I didn't expect to find other things, so it may take more time than previously expected."

"What to eat?"

Lance was at a loss.

Wencer did not speak, but touched Lance's face and exhorted:

"Don't go to the sea anymore, there are people coming around here."

"Humanity?"

Lance couldn't help widening his eyes and asked, "What are they doing here?"

According to some things Lance knew, the Sunset Bay should be a lost place like the Bermuda Triangle in human legends long ago for humans.

Human ships come here, aren't they looking for death?

"do not know."

Wencer's face is also very bad, he said, "I have never understood the behavior of human beings."

He pressed Lance's shoulder, and said again:

"Don't go to the sea, you know?"

This……

Lance hesitated and agreed: "Okay."

Can't go to the sea, is it possible to be tortured by Quirrell's noise?

Besides, there is still his suitcase on the uninhabited island above the sea. What if the suitcase is broken if he doesn't care about it for so long?

What about the camera inside?

Lance thought with a fluke that he was just going to the uninhabited island, he should be fine.

Seeing Lance absent-minded, Wincer grabbed Lance's cheek and raised his eyebrows:

"What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing."

Lance broke free of Wencer's hand. He glared at Wencer and said, "You are so annoying."

"Isn't this worrying about you?"

Wencer sighed, and he lay back where he had fallen asleep, looking like he was about to fall into deep sleep again.

Unexpectedly, this time the conversation with Winsor ended so quickly, Lance couldn't help but wrinkle.

frown.

He wanted to say something more, let Wencer talk to him more, but, seeing Wencer's sleepy look, Lance didn't say anything else in the end.

All the thoughts and anxiety, in the end, when Lance spoke, they only became a sentence:

"good night."

At the moment when Wencer was about to close his eyes, when he heard these two words, he forced his sleep, opened his eyes again, looked at Lance softly and intently, nodded, and said:

"good night."

After a pause, he added:

"Soon, I promise."

Lance smiled and nodded vigorously:

"Okay, I'm waiting for you."

A few minutes later, Lance sat by Winsor's bed and looked at the dark sea bottom through the small opening above the shipwreck.

So lonely.

The mermaid’s hearing is very keen, and Lance can clearly hear the various whispers of the creatures in the ocean. Even these days, Lance has been talking to all kinds of sea monsters, but even so, those During the conversation, Lance didn't think it was an exchange.

The sea monsters' thinking is too simple, and the sense of alienation and freshness that Lance always regards as other species makes Lance always feel unreal.

Even if he and the sea monster can communicate with each other, he is still very lonely, and he lacks the language to communicate.

A life without communication is fatal to Lance, who is still human at heart.

A lot of his words, like flowers left in place, can only wither and rot in the end.

"Forget it, just wait a few days, nothing to do, you can find those killer whales to play."

Lance said to himself, and then lay down beside Wencer, curled up beside Wencer, trying to comfort himself with Wencer's body temperature, he was not alone.

The next day, Lance woke up early in the morning. As usual, after finishing his own breakfast, he was going to teach Quirrell to continue to beat the drums. As soon as he left the house, Lance heard a message from the sea monster chat group. A thin cry--

[Is there anyone who can save me? I don't want to die. 】
