The merfolk seemed shocked by my words, and a complicated look appeared on their face, shocked, confused, surprised, and more fearful.

In fact, I think that although for mermaids, decades is just a moment, but if this time is full of physical pain and mental pain, then this time will be extended indefinitely in the senses. And for all this long time, even though the king and queen deliberately used three chairs and three sets of utensils to create an illusion, did she really never suspect that the prince was dead? Did she really not doubt that the betrayal she thought never existed?

I don't believe she didn't suspect that the reason why she firmly believed that she had been betrayed was because of cowardice and evasion.

Cowardice is too cowardly to admit that it was he who betrayed love and avoided facing the consequences of his own hands. Whether it is a human being or any other living being, in fact, it is just a fragile soul, and when faced with pain, you must find something as sustenance, even if it is an excuse for self-deception, it can also become the strength to support yourself, even if the source of this power is not good, such as hatred.

Seeing the mermaid's stunned and confused appearance, we didn't bother her silently, thinking that she must not want to be so calm on the surface, and it can even be said that she is overturned. It's just that even if I tell her the truth, I'm still not sure she'll give up on killing me, as the ghost said. After all, this is survival. If she doesn't kill me, she'll always be this monster.

The merfolk were silent for a long time before the focus in their eyes finally regathered. She looked up at me slowly, her voice calm and terrifying, "You said he became a ghost on the necklace, right?" Then let him come out to me. ”

See her? How to see? I was slightly stunned and looked reflexively at the necklace in my hand. I've been talking to the ghost for so long, but I've never seen him, and the merfolk said they wanted to see him, was that possible?

However, no matter whether it is impossible or not, the one who is strong in force is the uncle, and the small life is in the hands of others, and it is impossible to find a way to make it possible.

"Can you come out and let her meet you?" I tried to ask the ghost, hoping for an affirmative answer.

"Yes." The ghost's voice was a little tired, a little happy, and seemed a little helpless, "It's just that I can't get close to anyone other than you, and if you want me to appear, you must let your companion keep a distance of three meters from you." ”

At a distance of three meters, I frowned slightly, and did not immediately agree. Of course, the companions in the ghost's mouth also include wolf fangs, and if wolf fangs leave me, I really don't feel safe. After all, that mermaid is not a good stubble, and if you want to kill me, you only need to move your fingers. The wolffang was right next to me, which helped me narrowly avoid the attack, and if I was three meters away from the wolf's fang, if the merfolk attacked me again, I was afraid that I would definitely die.

"What's wrong?" The wolffang's voice brought me back to my senses, and I turned to look at him, and saw that he was frowning slightly. The ghost's words were only audible to me, and he didn't know that he needed to keep him three meters away from me right now. "Did the ghost say anything?"

Seeing that the wolffang's frown tightened again, and even the muscles of his whole body tightened a little, I knew in my heart that he thought that the ghost's inability to appear would cause the merfolk to attack us, so he would suddenly become more vigilant.

I hesitated, but decided to tell the truth, "The ghost said he could show up, but he just needs you to stay three meters away from me. ”

Wolf Fang's face changed slightly, his eyes narrowed, and he just looked at me quietly, pursed his lips and did not speak.

After a few seconds, Wolf Fang seemed to force himself to relax his pursed lips, took a short breath, and then exhaled a long "What if I say I don't agree to be three meters away from you?" ”

I smiled bitterly and shook my head slightly, "Didn't you already know the answer when you asked?" ”

I can't let everyone go to a more dangerous situation for the sake of my own safety. It's impossible for me to refuse the ghost's request, whether it's me or Wolffang, we know it very well.

There was silence for a few seconds, and after a few seconds he let go of the hand that had been holding my arm, and with restraint he clenched it into a fist at his side.

I hesitated, but finally reached out and gently squeezed the fist at the side of the wolffang. My fingertips were cold, but the back of his hand was also very warm, the heat was obviously just normal warmth, but it made me feel as hot as touching a flame, just a light grip and quickly let go, while regretting his recklessness, while no longer hesitating to walk towards the mermaid who had been waiting.

"Don't leave!"

The cold hand was suddenly clenched by an even hotter temperature, and the rough fingertips of the wolf teeth cut across the soft flesh of my palm, and the temperature was like an electric current, from my hand to my heart.

I turned my head to look at the wolf's fangs in a bit of a daze, only to find that there was no danger or indifference on his face that I had felt before, only full of solemnity and safety.

"If I don't die, you won't die."

Even though there was a threat of death in front of me, it couldn't stop a smile from appearing on my lips now. I lowered my eyelids and whispered.

"Okay."

I walked towards the mermaid, and even as the distance shortened, I could see more clearly the sight of the rotting fear on her fishtail and the cold calm on her face, but my heart was unusually calm, and even such danger no longer made me feel afraid.

After three meters away from the wolffangs, the distance between me and the merfolk was almost two meters away. The merfolk looked at me motionlessly, and I knew what she was waiting for.

"I'm already more than three meters away from my companion, you can come out." I said to the pendant in my hand—that is, the ghost.

"I still need you to do me a favor." The ghost's voice rang out, "My strength was exhausted when I opened the attic door before, and now my strength is not enough for me to appear in a concrete form. Can you give me some of your blood? A few drops onto the pendant are enough. ”

I sighed, but didn't say anything no. Anyway, since I entered this room, what lamps, doors, and crystal slippers are all interested in my blood, and I don't miss a little more for a pendant, not to mention that this pendant hasn't been taken without telling me, and I know how to apply in advance.

I admired my spirit of suffering and having fun, and at the same time raised my hand and looked at my fingers, ready to learn the plot of some TV movie, and boldly bite my fingers to draw blood.

"Shhh I looked at the finger I had just bitten, and there was a shallow tooth mark on the fingertip, but the skin was not even broken

Whoever tells me anything next time, bites his finger lightly to take blood, I must scold him! It doesn't hurt at all, does it!!

Seeing the mermaid's increasingly gloomy expression, I froze, and hurriedly searched around for a while, and walked towards the table where the various knives were placed. Ignoring the disgusting feeling of these knives that were human corpses, he quickly slashed his fingertips on the blades of the blades, making a small incision, and smeared the gushing blood onto the pendant.

The blood smeared on the pendant seeped into the pendant as quickly as it could, and after a few seconds, a burst of silvery-white pearlescent smoke emerged from the pendant, and the smoke became more and more that swirled around my head and finally coalesced into the form of a man.

Although it was not familiar, I could still recognize it at a glance, and it was the appearance of the prince I had seen in the portrait before!

"Hey," the ghost smiled at the merfolk, "long time no see." ”

I could clearly see that the mermaid's body was trembling slightly, and her originally indifferent eyes softened, as if there was a mist filling her eyes, and she spoke.

"yes, long time no see." The mermaid showed a crying and laughing expression, "I didn't expect you to be so old after becoming a ghost"

What kind of conversation is this? Adhering to the truth that silence is golden, I just silently watched the communication between the merfolk and the ghosts. The ghost is indeed not what he looked like when he was young, he looks about fifty years old, and he is already showing old age, and this appearance must come from his real age when he died

"Heh, I'm just a normal human." The ghost chuckled, "I'm going to be old, I'm going to die, I'm not like you. ”

"Isn't it different" The mermaid stared at the ghost tightly, her eyes were more misty, as if she wanted to cry, but she didn't leave tears, "Since you know that I am different from you, why do you love me?" ”

Do you love me I secretly glanced up at the mermaid, and the question was really interesting. It's not to ask if you have loved me, or if you still love me, but why maybe the most incomprehensible thing in this world is love. It is like a dream, neither life nor death, as thin as cicada wings, and it is sworn to die.

"Love is love." The ghost moved closer to the merfolk and came straight to her, "There's no reason, and there's no need for a reason. That's something I can't control, I just can't find a reason not to love you. ”

The corners of the mermaid's mouth opened slightly, revealing a smile that was not a smile, and she suddenly lowered her head and pressed her hand to the side of her eye, as if trying to suppress tears, but I didn't really see the tears, "She told me that you have always loved me?" ”

"Yes, I love you and it has never changed." The ghost replied calmly.

"Then since you love me," said the mermaid, putting down the hand covering her eyes, and raising her head again, with no tears on her face, "die for me." ”

The ghost was slightly stunned, smiled wryly, and was silent for a few seconds before his slightly muffled voice was heard.

"I'd love to say yes, but I'm dead, dear."
