Chapter 221

Sean returned to the small pool.

The children in Wild Dog Park didn't leave, they squatted by the pool and looked after the injured mermaid.

At this moment, the pale female mermaid had woken up. She was in a relaxed state, and when she saw Sean appear, she dived abruptly and hid in the water...

The dirty-faced little girl gently advised: "Nana, it's okay, this uncle is a good person."

Sean frowned slightly: "Is it because of the sixth sense, or is it easy to trust strangers?" He thought, "It's not a good thing to trust others so easily."

Soon, Sean shook his head in his heart: "The children of Wild Dog Park, their life should be very difficult, it is impossible to easily trust strangers...

"Perhaps, she has some way of identifying other people's motives."

Thinking so, Sean looked at the dirty-faced little girl. Her expression was much softer than before.

The mermaid named Nana only showed a pair of eyes from the water, her cheeks bulged slightly, and she was obviously still wary of Sean.

There were some big rocks by the pool. Mr. Wu You was a little tired at the moment, so he found a dry rock and sat down.

He heard a low, cow-like breathing in the woods next to him.

Sean turned his head to look, the huge diving armor was hiding behind a few trees at the moment, and it seemed extraordinarily quiet.

Several children gathered around, and Sean began to speak in a chatting state: "You can call me Mr. Norberty."

Noberti, that is nothing.

Because of his upbringing with Aaliyah, even though he is an adult, Sean is very good at getting along with children.

He smiled gently: "What should I call you, ladies and gentlemen?"

Sean's relaxed tone made several children in Wild Dog Park relax, or squat or sit around Sean.

"My name is Kate." With black curly hair and piercing black eyes, Kate took the sides of her red dress with both hands and curtseyed.

"She is our princess - the 'dirty face princess'." The fat boy in the sea soul shirt said, "My name is Billy..."

"Fat Billy." The boy next to him who looked like a skinny monkey joked, "The knight who calls himself a princess, the 'Knight of the Wooden Shield'."

Seemingly not caring about his companion's evaluation of his body, Billy patted the small wooden board called "shield" on his back.

"I'm Juan." The skinny Juan shrugged, because the coat he picked up was too big, so he couldn't see his movements.

"He's the fastest runner among us," said the last chubby girl with glasses. "He's our 'barefoot scout'."

"Oh come on..." Juan waved his hand disdainfully, "Because of this nickname, I still haven't found the right shoes for me..."

"I'm the minister of glasses." The chubby girl said proudly, "Maggie."

Without asking, Sean knew that each of them had their own story.

Either he was abandoned by his parents in Ocean City, or his relatives have passed away.

A group of unattended orphans, in order to survive, pickpocketing tourists in business, regard Wild Dog Park as a kingdom in their fantasy...

The land of dreams, the land of ideals... Ocean City, which has various glorious titles, still has a sad story like all the countries in this world.

Sean asked, "How did you meet the big man?"

At this time, "Trash" was in the woods behind Sean, and his rusted fingers picked up a small flower to watch.

Kate said: "The big guy wouldn't have moved - the barefoot scouts had crawled in and it was empty.

"Because people often bully us, we often fantasize that big men can move to protect us...

"Then, one day, I remember very well - that day there was a 'rainfall' going on in the agricultural area.

"The big man actually walked out of the forest where he had been sitting and sat in the rain, looking very sad.

"Then I went over..."

Sean nodded: This passage is the same as the memory he saw in the allergic reaction of the soul - Princess Dirty Face did not lie.

At this time, Sean's body had returned to the hotel and was sitting in his room. he

He frowned and rubbed his chin: "In other words, the waste did not die after being injected with the lethal agent, but left the place of his birth...

"This diving armor..." Mr. Wu You turned back and looked at the rusted armor that looked like a hill, "It was originally abandoned in the Wild Dog Park.

"The undead waste hid in there and met Kate..."

Kate continued: "Meeting Nana is another story...

"On the fringes of the agricultural district, is the meatpacking plant of Ocean City.

"Sometimes we really can't find anything to eat, so we go to the sewage outlet of the processing plant to have a look.

"Sometimes if you are lucky, you can find some meat that hasn't gone bad. You can take it back and cook it and eat it..."

"But—" Kate frowned, "Eating that meat will always make me dizzy for a few days, so we don't eat it often..."

Mr. Wu You nodded and motioned for Kate to continue.

"Then, one day, Billy and I went to the sewage outlet to find something to eat.

"As a result, we found Nana in a pile of stinking dirty things...

Kate swallowed her saliva and her face became paler: "When I first saw Nana, her injuries were much worse than now. Her whole body was rotten and smelly..."

It seemed to evoke some uncomfortable memory, and the faces of several children became a little ugly.

"We took her to this pond in Wild Dog Park - it's sea water.

"After soaking in the sea water and taking the medicine we found, Nana is much better...

"I used to have a fever and coma all day, but now I wake up half the time and can still swim in the water."

"It's also fortunate that she can swim," Dirty Face Princess' eyes widened, "Since we found Nana, there have been strange people looking everywhere... It seems that they came to find her.

"Nana's senses are extra sharp, and she can often tell us to hide before anyone arrives.

"This time it's because she has a fever again, so we didn't know about the arrival of that person just now..."

Sean frowned: "You just said that this pool is seawater - could this pool lead to the sea outside?"

The white mermaid became more daring, and half of her body emerged. While talking with woohoo, she pointed her slender fingers below herself—the depths of this pool.

Kate turned her head and explained, "Nana said that there is a pipeline under this pool that leads to the sea outside...

"But..." The Dirty Face Princess looked at Nana, her eyes flashing, "Her injury is not completely healed, and she doesn't dare to live in the sea alone, so she is still staying here."

Sean was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that there is, a mystery that has been plaguing him has finally been revealed...

"Can you understand Nana?" Sean asked in surprise.

Kate nodded: "I have been able to understand the 'language' of various animals since I was a child, and when Nana tried to speak, I could also understand half of it..."

A very high talent for inspiration... The dirty-faced princess in front of him made Sean think of the little witch Anna.

Thinking of the body that was cut to pieces by the wind blade, Sean's heart sank, and his brows involuntarily wrinkled.

"Then ask her," Sean said, "if someone came to search before, where would she be hiding?"

Kate turned her face and asked softly in Leonian language—although the language spoken is the same, but gifted children like Kate and Anna can directly convey their meaning to each other’s hearts when they “narrate”.

Due to Kate's trust in Sean, Nana is obviously no longer afraid of Sean. She leaned out of the water and expressed something with her gestures...

Sean suddenly discovered that Nana was not speaking in a special language at all - she seemed to be a mute.

After a period of communication beyond words, Princess Dirty Face turned to Sean and said, "Nana said she would hide in a coral far away.

"She also found a wooden boat in the nearby waters and sometimes hid in it."

Sean nodded and understood one thing: the "figure" he saw in the wreck of the "Virgin" on his first night in Ocean City~lightnovelpub.net~ was Nana.

"In this way, there are no more lingering resentful spirits on the Holy Maiden..."

One puzzle solved, and more puzzles to come.

The truth cannot be revealed all at once, you must be patient.

Sean tried to ask the next question: "You help me ask her, how did she appear in the sewage outlet of the meat processing plant?"

Kate patiently turned to Nana, and just after saying a few words, the white mermaid's eyes showed a look of fear.

As she shook her head, she made a series of monotonous sounds...

The structure of the mermaid's soundtrack seems to be very special, and her sharp voice is creepy.

Several children couldn't help covering their ears in pain.

Nana seemed to be repeating a word, but Sean couldn't understand.

The mermaid suddenly dived into the water and disappeared.

Kate let go of her hand covering her ears and seemed to be affected by Nana's emotions just now, with fear lingering in her dark eyes: "Nana said she doesn't remember what she experienced...

"She just kept repeating that it was... hell."
