Diary of Raising a Mermaid

When Wincer was soaking in the water in Reims, he turned on the camera.

On the other side, Lance, who was soaking in water, watched Wencer directly turned on the camera, his eyes widening.

Why does Winser turn on the camera?

You know, even Lance, who has seen this camera advertisement, was at a loss the first second he got the camera.

After a long time, Lance barely figured out the usage of the above buttons, and based on the explanation in his memory, Lance found a way to charge the camera.

Wincer didn't care about Lance's surprise, or, from the beginning, Winser didn't care about Lance's doubts about him.

Wencer continued to play around with the camera, but saw that he tapped the camera screen with his webbed claws, and the camera buzzed and there was a noise.

Wincer found the place where the photos and videos were stored in the camera.

I don't know what happened to the owner of the camera. The memory card in the camera is still there.

And it still works.

After Wincer clicked on the saved video, a gurgling sound suddenly came from him.

This is... Found the video stored in it?

Lance could not wait to get out of the sea water, he immediately walked to Wencer's side, baffledly next to Wencer, looking at the camera in Wencer's hand.

It's really amazing.

Lance didn't know for a moment whether he should feel that Wencer was much smarter than he thought, or whether he should feel that this camera is indeed a camera with black technology.

After soaking in the sea for so long, the camera is still working, and it seems that there is no damage at all.

Wencer watched Lance lying in his arms, poking his head, wanting to look at the camera in his hand.

He lowered his head, reached out and rubbed Lance's head, then held Lance in his arms, two fish lying in the shade of the tree, watching the video stored in the camera.

The video was clicked on by Winsor's webbed claws—

In the video is a girl, a Western girl, she is on the deck, with her best friend, smiling, and behind her is a large group of flying seagulls.

Lance listened for a while. As a scumbag who only learned English, he couldn't tell which country the two girls were from.

What they said sounded like a bunch of "grumbling" in Lance, but it was not in English anyway.

"They said that this is their first trip to sea."

Seeing Lance's doubts, Wencer spoke and said something.

Hearing this, Lance turned his attention to Winsor's face, with a look of surprise:

"Do you understand?"

"I have lived for so many years, I have nothing to do, I have learned a little about everything."

Vince explained, "This is Hungarian."

Lance's eyes widened, and he looked terrified:

"Winser, how old are you? Am I really going to call you "Dad"?"

Winsor: "..."

He grabbed Lance's face blankly.

According to the video stored in the camera, the two Hungarian girls are in good family conditions, and they are also considered "lucky ones" and were selected on this ship.

The video stored in the front is a very normal travel video.

The video content is that two girls are eating and drinking on the cruise ship, and there are some particularly beautiful sea scenes, and when it comes to the back, the video starts to be weird.

Lance paid attention to the shooting time of the video. The videos and photos in the front were mostly during the day, while in the back, the videos and photos were changed to night.

The content in the video is no longer a beautiful sea view and people, but a girl alone, talking to herself in the bedroom.

Lance looked at it for a few seconds, a little embarrassed:

"Forget it, Winser, we don't look at it, the privacy of the girls here."

He stretched out his hand, ready to turn off the camera.

Wencer avoided Lance's hand, then gave Lance a thump:

"Haw, do you want to figure out what's going on with you?"

Lance squashed his mouth, touched his forehead, and said nothing.

The two fish continue to watch the video together.

When the video came to the back, the girl was lying on the bed, dressed in cool clothes, without makeup, her hair curled up in a mess on the top of her head, and then she turned to the camera and spoke quietly.

Of course, what she said, to Lance, was still a bunch of "grumbling" and couldn't understand.

Lance looked at Wencer silently.

Wencer calmly translated on her own: "She was saying that she regretted getting on this ship, and felt that they were being watched by something."

Lance was puzzled, and continued to look at the screen—

At this moment, in the video, the girl suddenly cried, and then she took off her pants in front of the video.

Lance subconsciously covered his eyes, but kept watching secretly.

And in the subsequent pictures, there was nothing to make Lance blush.

Instead, his face became pale.

After the girl took off her pants, a scaly leg was exposed.

Starting from the calf, the cyan scales densely stretched upwards, staggered across the white skin, particularly dazzling, and the whole body seemed to be covered with mildew.

Finally, the cyan scales extend into the skin of the waist and merge with the skin.

From a distance, it looked like a girl was rotting.

However, when I look closely, I know that this girl is gradually changing from a human to a mermaid.

Outside of the video, Lance couldn't help but cocked his tail and glanced at it.

I don't know if he also experienced what the girl experienced when he became a mermaid.

"Is the fish tail made from a human leg?"

Lance couldn't help but ask Wincer.

He couldn't imagine how the two legs that were originally separated would come together and become a fish tail.

Does it hurt?

Why is his memory blank?

But this time, Winser, who always has questions and answers, did not tell Lance directly. He was silent for a moment, touched Lance's head, and said:

"I do not know."

Lance opened his mouth and sighed finally.

The two mermaids continue to watch the video.

The picture behind is even more shocking. After the girl cried to the camera for a while, she picked up the camera and walked into the next bathroom.

As she walked, she said something in a panic tone, then she opened the bathroom door and walked to the bathtub inside.

In the bathtub, there is another girl who looks even more worrying—

She had a dull expression, curled up in a ball, while spitting out the thick white mucus from her mouth, she applied the mucus to the inner wall of the bathtub with her hands.

The video picture came to an abrupt end here.

Because this is the last video in the camera, no one knows what the two girls finally became.

If he hadn't fished the camera out of the sea, Lance would have thought he was watching some horror movie.

This is the last video. After the video was finished, Wencer turned off the camera and put it aside. Then, he lowered his head and asked Lance:

"What's wrong? Are you okay?"

How could this be okay?

Lance flashed back to the scene where the girl in the bathtub vomited mucus just now. He couldn't help gnawing his nails, and then asked eagerly:

"That bathtub... why did that happen? What happened to her?"

Although I watched the video in the camera with Lance, Winser didn’t care at all. His expression was still very indifferent, as if something that seemed to break through human imagination just now was nothing but ordinary to him. .

He looked at Lance and said calmly:

"There is nothing to be afraid of, this is just an evolution."

"What evolution, for no reason, how could they suddenly evolve..."

"They are fairly successful."

What Wencer said was cruel, "For humans, the changes in their bodies are what many people dream of. This is the so-called ‘evolution’."

"evolution?"

Lance finally grasped the point.

For humans, it is an abnormal change, a terrible disease, but why in Winsor’s mouth, this terrifying change is called "evolution" by him?

"Correct."

The corners of Winsor's lips turned up slightly, and a sneer and contemptuous smile appeared, "Lance, you have been a mermaid for so many days, and haven't discovered how beautiful a mermaid's body is?"

Unparalleled self-healing ability, natural strong adaptability.

Whether it is motor nerves or sensory nerves, they are all first-class.

Compared to the fragile human body, I don't know how many times it is better.

"The girl in the fish tank is building a nest."

Wencer stretched out his webs and grabbed Lance's face. He leaned closer, sniffed Lance's body, and said, "After the nest has been built into a cocoon, she will usher in a reborn change."

He paused, and his expression seemed a little distressed, he said to Lance:

"Little fish, when can you build a nest again?"

Lance suddenly remembered the white film he saw when he woke up at the very beginning.

Could it be that he has already built a nest once?

He couldn't help holding his breath.

"what are you saying?"

Lance returned to his senses. He couldn't believe it. He pushed Wencer away and turned his back to Wencer. He breathed heavily, just like this, so that he could vomit the fear in his heart and stop being afraid.

Wencer didn't come forward immediately, he knew he needed to give Lance a little time to digest this fact.

Whether it’s the video or the diary, it’s almost told Lance the truth.

Lance lowered his head and looked at his fishtail, as well as the webbed claws on his hands, with a sad expression.

He understood that the ship and the people on it were sacrifices.

All the people on that ship are sacrifices to the ocean.

He is a test product created by humans, and it seems to be the only successful test product.

"Patter"

The white beads hit the fish's tail with a crisp sound.

The finely shattered beads fell like rain, rolling on the yellow sea sand.

The sea breeze was blowing quietly, and for a while, there was only a little whimper on the island.

Wencer looked at the little fish with his back to him and curled his tail.

He had just wanted to pierce Lance's fantasy, but now it seems that although the result has been achieved, Lance has been hit much harder than he thought.

Winsor originally thought that Lance would heal after crying for a while, but he didn't expect that after waiting like this, he waited for a long time.

The finely shattered white beads kept jumping around, making Wencer upset to see.

Is this "evolution" bad? "Building a nest" again is a good thing. Why is Lance so sad?

Wencer was a little puzzled.

Wencer's thinking still stayed on the beast.

For the beasts in nature, if one day, they can get sharper teeth and claws, it is naturally a good thing, and there is no need to be sad for so long.

However, humans are different.

The empathy of human beings is destined to think that their way of thinking is not as straightforward as that of beasts.

Winsor had a rare guilty conscience.

He walked behind Lance, hesitated for a moment, still hugged Lance gently from behind.

Langston continued to cry for a while, his voice louder.

Leaning in Winsor's arms for a long time, Lance felt that he was crying enough.

In fact, crying is just to vent your emotions. No matter how hard you cry, there is no use. The world is still the same, nothing will change.

Lance also wanted to understand, he had to accept this fact.

"Aren't you crying?"

Wencer approached, he stretched out his hand, carefully removed the white bead that had fallen on Lance's shoulder, and asked.

It was the first time he knew that his little fish could cry so much.

"Cry enough."

Lance showed an ugly smile. He put his cold webbed claws on his red eyes, trying to reduce the swelling with the coolness of the webbed claws.

At the same time, Lance also complained:

"Actually, being a person is pretty good."

Wenser didn't speak, he just flicked his tail in his arms, neither sure nor denying Lance's words.

"Although human beings don't have the powerful bodies of beasts, they are very smart, otherwise how could they become the masters of this world."

Lance tried to give the human camp a little bit, "I used to be a human."

"Ok."

Wencer rubbed Lance's face and nodded.

"I want to eat grilled fish."

Lance smashed his mouth and said, "Human hands are very dexterous, and the grilled fish is really good."

He missed Wen Yu and the grilled fish that Wen Yu gave him.

Hearing that, Winser didn't say anything to ridicule human beings. He looked down at Lance's stomach.

He stretched out his hand, touched it, and said:

"It's better to eat raw fish directly. You lack nutrition now."

"Lack of nutrition?"

Lance was confused. "I eat a lot every day."

During this period of time, he almost always ate and slept, slept and ate, but in this way, his body still felt tired all the time.

"It's okay, you are about to build a nest."

Wincer touched Lance’s belly affectionately, where Lance’s key was located.

"It's when you need to store nutrients."

Lance: "..."

I always feel that Wencer seems to be looking forward to him building a nest. Is it a good thing to build a nest?

He ignored the term "nesting". Lance yawned and said to Winsor:

"No way, I'm going to take a nap under the shade of the tree, I'm so sleepy."

Early in the morning, Lance was tossed by the sea monster outside, who loves drums. Lance was sleepy, and after crying, he was exhausted. Now he almost sees that everything is a double image, and he staggers and supports him. Can't help it.

Wencer didn't say anything, he let go of his arms and let Lance go to sleep.

And Lance didn't say anything, fell under the shade, bent his long tail over his body, and fell asleep immediately.

All snored.

It looks really tired.

Wencer looked at it for a moment, he laughed, shook his head, and sighed that it's nice to be young, and then began to pack up all the things Lance had brought on the beach.

"Winser!"

After a while, Lance, who was sleeping under the shade of the tree, suddenly called Winser's name.

Wencer raised his head blankly and looked over.

As a result, he saw that Lance, who should have been sleeping well, had his eyes half-opened, and awkwardly propped up his upper body, checking Wencer's figure everywhere.

Looks like he hasn't woken up yet, nervous, like a nightmare.

Seeing Lance's bewildered appearance, Wencer thought something was wrong with Lance, so he responded:

"I'm here."

After hearing Wencer's answer, Lance, who was still shaking his head and wagging his tail, followed the sound and saw Wencer not far away, his expression loosened.

Then he gave Winsor a silly smile.

This smile is really silly, with Lance's not awake expression, it's almost like Lance is sleepwalking.

Wincer couldn't help but laughed out loud.

Seeing Wencer smiled, Lance was confused, and there was a question mark on his face. Even if he didn't say anything, Wencer knew that Lance was wondering what he was laughing at.

However, after receiving Wencer's response, Lance also seemed to let go of his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, in front of Wencer, Lance closed his eyes and fell asleep in one second, and the result of falling asleep this second was that Lance slammed his face on the ground and smashed a small hole in the beach.

Seeing this, Wincer stopped smiling, he held his forehead with his hand, and quickly went over to turn Lance over.

This little fish buried his face directly in the sand, isn't he afraid of being suffocated to death?
