âAs Dacia spoke, there was horror in his eyes.
âDuring my escape, I saw many mermaidsâ corpses and limbs. I could even smell the thick scent of blood. It didnât feel like a dream at all.â
Dacia shook his head in anguish and for a moment, he couldnât continue.
Theld his hand and tried to give him some comfort.
âDuring my escape, my fishtail was penetrated by something strange. That thing even exploded, and the lower half of my fishtail was blown into pieces!â
âAs Dacia recounted, I recalled the scene when I first picked him up.
At that time, the lower half of his tail had indeed rotted, and pale blue sticky blood was flowing everywhere.
âI didnât dare to turn back. I endured the pain and swam upwards with all my might. At the same time, I heard a manâs voice. He said that only by finding my true love can I recover my memories and strength.â
Hearing this, I was shocked. No wonder he had such a huge reaction when he saw the readerâs message. It turned out that the sentence had already appeared in his dream and it had happened more than once.
âCould these dreams be your lost memories?â I asked curiously.
Dacia shook his head helplessly. âI donât know. Thatâs all I dreamed of.â
âWhat has this dream got to do with humans?â
âBecause I know very well in my dream that the murderer who killed a large number of merpeople was a human!â
Hatred shone in Daciaâs eyes as he spoke.
âWait, all of this is just a dream, isnât it?â I quickly reminded him.
âBut the content of the dream isnât baseless. For example, after you met me, you have been repeatedly having the dream of floating at sea,â Dacia said.
I fell silent, because I had to admit he had a point.
âBut how can you be sure that the reader is also a merman? After all, you two have never met,â I questioned.
Dacia looked at me and said, âShe should be arriving at Eureka soon, with her lover.â
âSheâs coming over?â I exclaimed.
Dacia nodded.
This was too sudden. I was a little worried. âWill she be like the merman from before? Once she senses your aura, she wonât be able to stop herself from killing someone?â
âI donât think so. Because sheâs like me. She met her true love after she went ashore.â
Dacia looked at me with affection in his eyes.
Iwas moved by this sudden confession and threw my arms around him.
âTm sorry. I shouldnât have doubted you,â I apologized.
âTm the one who shouldnât have kept anything from you,â Dacia reassured me.
âLet me tell you good news. Iâve resigned. I donât have to work starting tomorrow!â
âThatâs great. I have to write and operate the forum in the next two days. Iâm extremely busy.â
âFrom tomorrow onwards, Iâll help you manage things other than writing.â
The doorbell rang just as I finished speaking.
Both Dacia and I were stunned. Who would come at this time?
âCould it be that reader?â I look at the door with widened eyes.
Dacia became serious. He got up and went to the door. âWho is it?â he asked.
âIs it Dacia?â A pleasant female voice sounded.
Dacia nodded at me and opened the door.
âAs the two people outside walked in, I couldnât help but hold my breath.
Oh my god! There was actually such a beautiful girl in this world!
She had long golden hair like Dacia and deep blue eyes like the sea. Her skin was as fair as snow and her facial features were exquisite, like those of a legendary goddess!
She must be a mermaid! Even if she had a pair of slender legs under her slender waist, I could imagine her with a fishtail.
The ordinary-looking and shy boy following behind her should be her boyfriend.
âHi, Iâm Tricia and this is my husband, Roger.â
Husband? Were they already married?
How did they get married? Was it legal?
Had Tricia already gotten her human identification?
How had she met Roger? And how had she transformed her legs?
I was puzzled by the sudden appearance of the mermaid.
Dacia, on the other hand, was calmer than I was. He politely invited them to sit and poured them a glass of water.
âWhere are you from and what transport did you take?â Dacia asked.
Tricia looked at Roger and smiled as she replied, âRoger drove here. Our place isnât far from here. Itâs in Sifri Town.â
What a coincidence. I just mentioned this place to the police not long ago.
At that moment, the phone rang. I quickly got up to answer it. I didnât want to disturb Dacia and Triciaâs conversation.
âHello?â I picked up the phone, and my eyes involuntarily fell on Tricia.
âHelp!â A sharp cry sounded.
âMy heart tightened and I subconsciously looked away. âWho are you?â
âTm Lily. Annie, save me. My father is crazy!â Annie cried bitterly, and her voice trembled with fear.
âLily, donât worry. Speak slowly.â I tried to stay calm.
âlL⦠Iâm hiding in the bathroom. Dadâs outside pounding the door with an ax. He wants to kill me. Listen!â
Lily must have raised the receiver to the bathroom door. Dong! Dong! It was indeed the sound of a door being slammed.
âLily, baby, open the door for Daddy!â Danielâs creepy roar came through the phone..
