Diary of Raising a Mermaid

Chapter 22

“Boom boom boom— boom boom boom— boom—”

Early in the morning, before Lance got up, he heard a series of huge noises outside.

Is this an earthquake?

The loud sound brought vibrations, and Lance was still lying on his stomach in the cabin, and he felt his bed frame shaking.

【＆%…#! 】

The grumpy old brother hermit crab outside blatantly scolded in the chat group,

[Stupid is going crazy again? 】

In the chat group, a gentle long voice from everyone immediately said seriously:

[What are you talking about, pay attention to the words, there are still children in our group. 】

As if to verify everyone’s long words, the young man’s voice followed closely:

【what’s happenin? what’s happenin? 】

The hermit crab grunted a few times inside, and then complained with full anger:

[The dead octopus is knocking those iron guys again, knocking knocking, knocking you hemp—]

[Hermit Crab! 】

【…I am sorry. 】

Lance looked at the screen and found it fun. He swam out, came to the boat with the hermit crab, and asked:

【How is this going? 】

The hermit crab recovered from the chat group, and the loud noises made the hermit crab look a little listless, and the two peas are full of vicissitudes:

[What else is going on, that big octopus is going crazy. 】

With the huge steel tapping as the background sound, Lance listened to the hermit crab’s intermittent complaints, and summed up the whole story—

Sunset Bay has a master, and that master is the “octopus” that makes noise now.

Hermit crabs are just neighbors who came later.

According to the hermit crab, this bay was not like this in the beginning.

Although this area used to be a frequent occurrence of ship accidents, there will never be so many shipwrecks.

The main reason is still on that octopus.

In the eyes of the hermit crab, that octopus is a silly x.

Octopus has a collecting hobby, and its collecting hobby is shipwreck.

Although these shipwrecks provided shelter for the hermit crabs, the hermit crabs were really grateful, but what it couldn’t understand is that the octopus would come and make noise every so often—

[What do you say it wants to do? 】

The hermit crab complained, [If I can’t beat it, I will definitely kill it! 】

[Have you seen that octopus? You can tell it about your dissatisfaction. 】

Lance said curiously.

[No time, no time, too lazy to see that silly x. 】

The hermit crab responded impatiently.

Lance: […]

Knowing that he couldn’t persuade him anymore, he focused on the “noise”, followed the “noise” and nodded rhythmically.

[Oh, are you crazy too? …Forget it, I don’t want to mix up. 】

The hermit crab said it couldn’t accept it. It waved its tongs angrily and buried itself in the shipwreck, trying to block the noise outside for a while with the skin of the shipwreck.

“How do I feel that this is like beating a drum?”

Lance discovered that this thing is really rhythmic, basically one-two-one-shots. At the climax, the percussive sound will obviously change its timbre. It seems that something has been changed.

“Forget it, this is not the point.”

Lance had a bitter face and didn’t take this strange phenomenon to heart. After all, the most important thing now is to find his cruise ship “Queen Mary”.

Looking for a ship in this pile of scrap iron is really a needle in a haystack.

Lance sighed sadly.

Then Lance buried his head in the pile of scrap iron and continued searching.

After searching for a long time, Lance passed by the sunken ships, carefully recognizing the writing on them, and was dizzy. Only then did he discover that the rust on some sunken ships completely obscured the appearance of the ship, and he wanted to recognize it. A ship is basically a fantasy.

Now, Lance didn’t know what he was looking for, he was looking for a boat in a pile of lifeless iron knots, and he seemed to be looking for his past as a human being.

Should he keep looking?

Lance was suspended in the sea, with a dazed expression. He waved his tail and looked at the iron bumps underneath in a daze.

The noise in my ears has stopped, and the sea has returned to its previous calm.

The grumpy hermit crab has no more group chats.

As a result, in a piece of the sea, it seemed that Lance was really only one left.

Lance settled down. He cheered up and swam to the last area he hadn’t explored. He decided that if he didn’t find it in the end, he would not look for it. He returned to the deep sea and went to find Wencer.

After making up his mind, Lance didn’t have much energy to find a ship. He swam leisurely into the last area, circled inside, and looked at it roughly. He didn’t find a shipwreck that matched the appearance of the cruise ship in his memory. He was about to leave, then turned around—

Lance was dull.

He looked at each other with a large sea monster.

The reason why it is called “a big tuft” is because Lance really doesn’t know what this sea monster should belong to.

The sea monsters I have met before, such as jellyfish and hermit crabs, are very easy to recognize, but they are enlarged versions of common species, and the prototypes can be seen more or less.

However, Lance looked at the “big pile” in front of him for a long time, and really couldn’t see what it was—

That big tuft looked like an octopus, but it looked like a squid.

A squid has ten arms, and an octopus has eight arms.

But there was a big tuft in front of it. It had eighteen tentacles, one of which was holding a big iron rod, and two peas were aiming at Lance.

Lance: “…”

He glanced at the “big tuft” in front of him, then glanced at the big iron rod in his hand, and couldn’t help swallowing.

Could it be that it hit him with a big iron rod, right?

【Ah ah ah ah ah-】

The tentacles of the “big tuo” began to tremble, and the big iron rod in his hand danced wildly, and at the same time it began to change its color crazily, and it began to flash like a neon light, red, blue, green, and white.

[Fuck, there are people here! ! 】

Lance was also scared and began to scream:

[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-]

Apart from anything else, the “big tuft” took an iron rod and started poking at Lance.

Lance was almost scared to pee, and he fled with a flick of his tail.

[Humans, why are there humans? 】

The “big tuo” voice was sharp and mean. On the one hand, Lance felt familiar, and on the other hand, he was so scared that he didn’t care about anything.

“Boom”

The steel bars hit the shipwreck scrap iron, making a unique metal collision sound.

Lance hid a few times, but he didn’t want to fail to do anything. He was strung directly into a string by a squid or octopus. He was so frightened that he couldn’t choose his way, and was forced into a cabin by steel bars.

【come out! 】

That “big tuo” is obviously crazy. It can’t tell what is a human being and what is a mermaid. It directly angered Lance, pierced the cabin with an iron rod, and wanted to kill him directly with the ship and Lance. .

Lance dodged a few times, dodging the iron rod that came in. He pressed tightly to the cabin floor, shaking with fright:

“Yi—”

He was so scared for the first time, scaredly starting to call Winser’s name.

[Damn it, come out! 】

“A big tuo” stabbed a few times without stabbing it. Instead, the iron rod was bent. It was so angry that it dropped the iron rod and reached into the cabin with its tentacles.

[You come out for me. 】

A few tentacles crawled in tremblingly, trying to touch Lance in the cabin.

Lance stared at the tentacles crawling on the floor, and he was taken aback.

He found that these tentacles seemed quite stupid.

The same are tentacles, but the tentacles inside the coral bones are large and small, and there seem to be eyes at the end, which can “see” things, but the tentacles come in and are completely blind.

Thinking of this, Lance stopped shaking.

With the blessing of the mermaid’s dynamic vision, Lance could see the trajectory of the tentacles that crawled in very clearly.

After thinking for a while, Lance tiptoed up, took a deep breath, and stared at the tentacles closely.

The tentacles didn’t feel anything, and it continued to crawl into the cabin, getting deeper and deeper.

When the tentacles were a few meters away from Lance, Lance rushed over and grabbed a small tentacle. Then, using the pillars in the cabin, he circled a few times and successfully tied the tentacle into a knot.

After doing all this, Lance took advantage of the stretched tentacles, before he could react, and quickly got out of the small broken window on the side.

Everything after that was exactly the same as Lance expected—

“A big tuo” saw Lance coming out, it stayed for a few seconds, and then furious, trying to pull the tentacles out of the cabin.

But it didn’t expect that its tentacles were knotted. It twitched several times, and instead of twitching, it was dragged by the ship.

“A big tuo” is sluggish, really sluggish.

The color on his body has not changed.

The neon lights went out.

Just one thing, Lance didn’t notice—

There was broken glass on the edge of the window frame, and he was scratched by the glass when his fishtail was rubbing over.

Red blood spilled from the wound of the fish’s tail and disappeared in the sea water.

Lance felt the pain, and he stretched out his hand to cover the wound there.

The white tail fin also began to engorge, adding a ray of red to the entire flowing veil-like tail fin, which was particularly eye-catching.

“Unlucky.”

Lance murmured, and he looked back at the “big tuft” over there.

He thought about it, and finally figured out who it was:

Isn’t this the “dead squid” in the mouth of jellyfish before?

Listening to the harsh sound of the “dead squid”, coupled with its hatred of humans, Lance became more and more certain that it was the “dead squid” in the mouth of the jellyfish.

However, the sea monster in front of him is obviously not a “squid”.

And the hermit crab calls it “octopus”.

The strange sea monster in front of him has both the characteristics of a “squid” and an “octopus”.

Lance decided to call it “Uzhang Monster”.

The squid is obviously a combination of squid and octopus.

It has a shell on its body, but it is obviously smarter than squid, has a brain, and is more inclined to octopus.

After struggling for a few times, the Uzhang monster yelled and broke the tentacles that had been stuffed into the cabin, and then attacked Lance without any hesitation.

Lance turned pale and began to run away again.

[I’m going to eat you! ! 】

The Ouzhang monster laughed strangely behind him, sixteen tentacles flying all over the sky,

[Oulei, Oulei, Oulei ]

Where did Lance control what the Uzhang Monster was singing, he swam faster and faster, but he forgot, this is the shipwreck pile.

Various steel bulges above the various sunken ships, Lance made a sharp turn without noticing the mast in front of him. When he reacted, the inertia made him unable to stop.

Lance saw the mast blocking him, and his pupils suddenly dilated.

In that few tenths of a second, when Lance watched that he was about to hit him, a huge tentacle suddenly fell from the sky, entangled Lance and prevented the stupid little fish from hitting him.

Lance didn’t hit the mast, nor was he caught by the Uzhang behind, but he hit a huge arm and foot.

The inertia is not small, and even the arms and legs have been bumped and deviated a bit.

Lance was stunned, he held the arms and feet in front of him and touched it.

Black, familiar roughness.

Why is it so like the one feeding him from the coral bone?

Thinking of this, Lance quickly withdrew from his arms and legs, and the whole fish’s movements explained his disgust.

The black wrists and feet stiffened, and it lifted its tail and leaned over carefully, trying to touch Lance.

But Lance still remembered the fear the Uzhang monster brought to him behind him. When the tentacles were about to approach, he couldn’t help but plunged into the abandoned cabin next to him.

He closed the door with a “bang”.

The black arms and legs were sluggish for a while, then it crunched around and faced the Uzhang monster.

Ozhang Monster: “…”

It looked at the other’s tentacles, and silently hid its sixteen tentacles under it, trying to pretend that nothing happened.

In spite of the struggle of the Uzhang monster next to him, the black tentacles dragged the Uzhang monster away.

Ozhang Monster: [Wait, why did you tie me? Ah ah ah ah ah-】

Lance listened to the sound of water rushing outside, as if something huge had been dragged away.

When everything was quiet outside, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then slumped down from the cabin wall.

He sat on the floor and touched the wound on the fish’s tail, thinking, this is truly a disaster.

“Boom Boom Boom”

The cabin door rang suddenly.

Lance tensed his nerves again. He cocked his tail and bared his teeth at the cabin door. At the same time, he made up his mind that if the monster dared to come in, he would use sound waves to pull the monster to death!

Don’t run away!

“Lance?”

There was a familiar voice outside the door,

“It’s me, Winser.”

Lance was stunned for a moment, joy suddenly came to his heart, he swam over quickly, opened the door, and finally saw the black-tailed mermaid he met—

The black-tailed mermaid was still as he remembered. He was floating in the sea, looking at Lance with his black pupils, with a gentle expression but a hint of helplessness.

Lance didn’t wait for Wencer to say anything, he suddenly stepped forward and took the initiative to hug Wencer:

“I miss you so much.”

Wencer blinked, and he was still about to question, but after Xiaoyu came, he couldn’t say anything serious.

“I really miss you.”

Lance hugged Wencer, holding tighter and tighter,

“I miss you so much.”

He repeated it several times, and the last one was excited, and with a “tweet”, he took the initiative to kiss Wencer.

Wencer opened his eyes slightly, his expression blank.

“Huh, Winser, are you blushing?”

“…No.”
