âAs you can see, absorbing human body fluids can make merpeople grow into legs, especially blood. Iâm guessing this murderer sucked a lot of human blood to maintain his legs.â
I agreed with Dacia, but I didnât understand why he had to kill to suck human blood.
âCanât he just suck blood and not kill?â I asked.
âI guess he was like that at first, until he came to this place and smelled me,â Dacia deduced.
My eyes lit up. âI remember! When he saw me, he said that I had a familiar scent!â
âThis is why all the people he killed were related to you,â Dacia said.
âBecause your smell passed through me to the victims!â I suddenly realized.
âYes, although I donât know why my scent stimulates him to kill, the most important thing now is for the police to find him and put an end to this murder case.â
âYou still didnât tell me why he could transform his legs after absorbing my blood,â I said in confusion.
Daciaâs eyes showed hesitation. âI guess it has something to do with my bloodline.â
âYour bloodline?â
âMerfolks can have legs because of human body fluids, but humans canât have fish tails because merfolks are creatures with supernatural spiritual force.â
Daciaâs words surprised me. âSupernatural spiritual force? Something like the Harry Potter magic world?â
âThatâs just a human fantasy story. Itâs different from the real world.â
âYouâve seen Harry Potter?â I said in surprise.
âIâve seen all the popular movies.â Dacia nodded.
âLike what?â I couldnât quite believe it. How many things did he watch when I wasnât looking?
âStar Wars, Men In Black, Resident Evil, Harry Potter, and so on.â
âHow do you have the time to watch so many things?â I couldnât figure it out. The main point was that he had learned so much and read so many books!
Even if he could use an hour as two hours, he could not absorb so much content in such a short time!
âI already said that merfolk are creatures with supernatural spiritual force.â
Darchiaâs expression was calm, as if it was only normal for him to have a strong learning ability.
I, sensing the huge gap between human and mermaid, shook my head.
âIf the merfolk are so powerful, why would they be exterminated by humans in the story you wrote?â I asked curiously.
Dacia was silent for a moment. âSince itâs a fabrication, naturally it has to be exaggerated.â
âThen why didnât you write about the human race being exterminated by the merfolk?â I asked.
To be honest, as a pessimist, I quite hoped that humanity would be destroyed by some powerful race. Human existence has brought too many disasters to the world.
âHaha, the sequel can be considered as such.â Dacia laughed.
âGo on. Why can my blood make the dead merman have legs? What has this got to do with your lineage?â I returned to the topic at hand.
âYou heard what he called me just now. If Iâm not wrong, Iâm a mermaid with royal blood. He was attracted by my scent, and he should have been summoned by my bloodline.â
Daciaâs analysis was very reasonable, but it was just a guess. There was no evidence.
Although he claimed that he had regained a portion of his memories, there was a possibility that his memories were messed up.
âIf merpeople already have supernatural spiritual powers, then as the royal prince of the merfolk, I must be even more different,â Dacia said.
âYouâre better than an ordinary merman!â I agreed with him.
âAnd you were chosen by the Imperial clan, so a strange mark grew on your back, and even your blood had a powerful effect.â
After Dacia explained, everything seemed to make sense.
I nodded in a daze. âThen⦠letâs give it a try.â
âOkay.â
In order not to hurt me, Dacia found a disposable syringe in the medicine box.
He even learned how to draw blood. As expected, he didnât make me suffer.
Then, he sent the blood into the corpseâs mouth, closed his mouth, and raised his neck so that the blood could flow down his throat.
The next moment, a terrifying scene happened!
The merman actually opened his eyes, and his blue eyes emitted a strange blue light. He suddenly twitched, and then closed his eyes again.
âWhat just happened?â I cowered behind Dacia and was terrified.
âIt must have triggered a transient reaction from the body after it absorbed your blood,â Dacia said.
âOkay, whatever you say. Iâm already completely confused,â I said.
After a while, the fishtail of the corpse indeed became legs again, and the spots on the skin were gone.
This man was clearly dead, but looked shockingly beautiful. The corpse was like a beautiful piece of art.
âLook at how magical your blood is!â Dacia exclaimed.
His back was to me, and I couldnât see his expression. Panic welled up inside me.
Would Dacia ever treat me like a walking blood bag and drain my blood bit by bit like a vampire?
At this moment, Dacia turned around and looked at me gently. âRest first. Iâll put him at the intersection just now..â
