Diary of Raising a Mermaid

Lance slept.

I don't know if it was the reason why he was just "born". In addition to being hungry, Lance was also very sleepy.

Thinking about it this way, Lance felt that he was really a little pitiful.

No one feeds, no one raises, just the "octopus" above his head looks at him.

And maybe the "octopus" still used him as a reserve.

Lance was a little anxious, so that in his dream, he dreamed that he was breaking out of prison, and he regretted how he hadn't watched the American drama "Prison Break" well.

After waking up, Lance peeked out of the anemone secretly, and he looked around—

The skinned arm and foot was still lying on the spot, and there were no arm and foot tentacles around it. It seemed that there was Lance in the coral bone.

Lance breathed a sigh of relief and swam out of the anemone. He swam to the fleshy arm and foot, and then crawled around the fleshy arm and foot in a serious circle.

Don't complain why Lance climbed, the reason is simple, he still can't swim.

This group of fleshy arms is about one meter in length, but the height is almost one meter. Langston thought of a way.

In "Shawshank's Redemption", the protagonist uses a poster to block the wall, and then dug a passage behind the poster.

Then he can too!

Thinking about this, Lance pushed the fleshy arm and foot vigorously, rolling the fleshy arm and foot to the edge of the coral bone, and then found a position, seriously analyzed, whether the "octopus" would find his small movements.

The facts have proved that "Octopus" does not always monitor Lance, as long as Lance does not make a big move, "Octopus" will not take action.

Out of caution, Lance swam around the coral bones, and after making sure that the "octopus" was not seen nearby, he went back, hid behind the fleshy arm and foot, and scratched the coral bones.

Last time, Lance was too involved, so that Lance did not notice that the "octopus" had come back, so I learned the lesson this time. After digging for a period of time, Lance came out to see if the "octopus" was nearby. After reaching the figure, he went back and continued his great cause of escape.

At the same time, Lance kept in mind some of the actions of the hero in "Shawshank's Redemption". Every time after digging out some bone meal and breaking the coral bones, Lance would evenly spread them nearby so as not to leave any traces.

"Guru"

The belly started to ring again.

After going back and forth a few times, Lance was almost exhausted, so he had to get out of a hole he had dug, and then plug it up with that fleshy wrist and foot.

After doing all this, Lance was so tired that he lay directly on that fleshy arm and foot.

So tired and hungry.

From "birth" to the present, Lance hasn't eaten anything.

Without energy intake, Lance was frail and weak, and fell down at the first touch.

Lance lay on the skinned fleshy arm for a long while, and finally sniffed the smell, and found that this fleshy arm and foot...the flesh was soft, not as **** as he had imagined.

After enduring it for a long time, Lance didn't hold it back, and went up to take a bite.

Afterwards, Lance's two eyes sparkled.

The taste of the meat of this meaty arm is like small octopus balls. It is bouncy, not sticky at all, and it is all meat after a bite. It is particularly satisfying to eat.

Without hesitation, Lance took the second bite, and while chewing the second bite, Lance happily posed his tail.

But when he was about to take the third bite, Lance stopped.

He looked at this fleshy arm for a long time, and finally had no choice but to pick the edge on the other side and take a small bite.

Well, after eating, what should I do if my fleshy arms are too small?

While worrying, Lance was thinking about how to eat so that he could fill his stomach without changing the size of his arms and legs.

…

After eating and drinking, Lance lay on the sea sand, lying on his back, looking at the faint blue ocean above, his thoughts gradually drifting away.

The ocean is divided into four layers according to the degree of sunlight exposure, namely the illuminating layer, the low-light layer, the deep sea layer and the abyss layer.

Weak light is the intersection of sunlight and darkness, and further down it is cold and dark.

Lance guessed based on his simple ocean knowledge that the place where he is now should be the junction of the deep sea layer and the abyss layer.

However, this also shows that the physique of the mermaid is really strong, and Lance does not feel cold until now.

Just as Lance was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a lot of darkness nearby, and then, as expected, a tentacle dropped from the entrance above the coral bone.

Lance: "..."

He stared at the tentacle getting closer and closer to him, and then when the tentacle was one meter away from him, he got up and jumped into the anemone.

The tentacle stiffened.

The tentacle shook, and did not force to contact Lance, it turned its direction, and turned to the direction of the fleshy arms and feet it had fed before.

Lance, who was peeping from inside the anemone, felt tight in his heart and was startled—

Is this "octopus" still a hobby?

I haven't finished eating the brachio, why did you clean it up so early?

"Ai—ka—"

Lance was anxious. As long as the group of fleshy arms and legs was cleaned up, the "octopus" would definitely find that he was secretly digging the passage again.

Lance was so anxious that he emerged from the anemone and yelled to the tentacles.

The tentacle that was going to clean up paused, it turned and "looked" in Lance's direction for a few seconds.

Lance "looks at it" nervously.

It may be that Lance's repelling action left an impression on it, and that tentacle finally chose to clean up the "flood arms and feet" that had been fed before.

Damn, why is this "octopus" so stubborn?

Lance looked around anxiously, and finally saw the pearl hidden in the anemone—

Wasn't this the last time the tentacles were stuffed for him to "comfort" him?

Without hesitation, Lance grabbed the fist-sized pearl and threw it toward the tentacle.

"Snapped"

Lance's head is very accurate, hitting it with one hit.

The tentacle was hit by the pearl, and it finally turned its attention back.

After the pearl hit the tentacle, it fell on the sea sand, emitting a bright white light.

One fish and one tentacle stared at the pearl at the same time, in a daze.

Lance went all out. In order not to allow the "octopus" to clean up the "flesh arms and legs" over there, he swam out of the anemone and gave a small cry to the tentacles.

The voice sounded pitiful, pitiful and lovely, especially distressing.

Obviously, this sound also made the tentacle feel distressed. It did not specifically clean up the flesh and feet, but turned to Lance-if the "octopus" had a heart.

However, the tentacle clearly understood Lance's meaning wrong.

I saw the tentacles wrapped the end of the pearl and picked it up, and then under Lance's curious gaze, it threw the pearl over to Lance.

Lance: "..."

The white pearl landed not far from Lance, and Lance looked up at the tentacles in the distance, and then at the pearl that landed next to his fish tail.

Lance reluctantly picked up the pearl. He held the pearl and smiled at the tentacle, and then threw the pearl in the opposite direction of the flesh.

The tentacle was obviously very happy about Lance's willingness to interact with it. It immediately passed by, picked up the pearl, and then threw it at Lance.

Lance looked at the white pearl coming towards him, feeling heartbroken.

What is this scene? He played "toss the ball" with a tentacle?

This time, Lance caught the pearl expressionlessly, and then randomly dropped the pearl in one direction, letting the tentacle pick it up by himself.

Sure enough, the tentacle was picked up immediately, and this time, the tentacle was a little careful:

After picking up the pearl, the tentacles wrapped around the pearl and didn't immediately throw it at Lance, but instead entangled the pearl, tentatively moving to Lance.

Lance watched the tentacles approach, he wanted to scream, but when he thought of the unfinished escape channel behind him, he could only endure the urge to escape.

He watched as the tentacle got closer and closer to him.

Finally, the tentacle stopped half a meter away from Lance, and then carefully handed the pearl to Lance.

Lance stared at the pearl that was handed over, and the tentacles very close to him for a moment.

Taking a deep breath, Lance took the pearl from the tentacle.

This was the first time he had actively contacted the tentacles, and the rough touch really impressed Lance.

In human fairy tales, octopuses are never good characters, no matter how evil wizards, or Cthulhu, their prototypes are all octopuses, which proves how terrifying an octopus is to humans.

But... it is amazing that through such a contact, Lance started to feel inexplicably, this "octopus" seems to be a little gentle?

Lance was frightened by this thought. He shook his head, intending to throw the thought out, and then threw the pearl out.

The tentacle immediately went to pick up the pearl.

If this pearl can be transported ashore by humans, with its huge size, it should be able to cause a huge sensation in human society;

It's a pity that this is the deep sea. In the eyes of Lance and Tentacle, this unparalleled pearl might not be as good as a ball.

After playing for a long time, the tentacle returned the pearl to Lance.

Although the tentacles had no expressions, Lance was very sure that the tentacles in front of him were very happy, and their colors were much lighter.

When he finally left, the tentacle reluctantly touched Lance's head, but Lance did not resist.

However, when it was about to pull away from the tentacles, the tentacles were ready to clean up the unfinished arms and legs.

This time, Lance was angry.

He has contributed to playing such a naive game. Why does that stupid arm still have to be cleaned up?

Lance swam over immediately before the tentacles touched the fleshy arms and legs, he sat on the fleshy arms and legs, and then, in front of the tentacles, Lance put the pearls on the fleshy arms and legs.

You should get it now!

The movement of the tentacles stopped.

It seemed to understand that for Lance, this mass of flesh and blood was as valuable as a pearl, and no one was allowed to touch it except with his permission.

The end of the tentacles curled up, and it seemed a bit tangled.

In the end, the tentacle chose to respect Lance, and it pulled away from the coral bones.

Lance finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the tentacle leave.

Fortunately, the "escape channel" was not found.
