Chapter 32: The Mermaid's Song

Previous Chapter

"Again, again, again, please lay down your arms and stop moving! or you will be destroyed!" The sound of the horn in the plane kept echoing in the sky, and in the face of hundreds of fighter planes, people began to realize that the only way to survive was to obey.

"W-How can this be? Could it be that my father is angry that I'm too willful?" Martha looked at the helicopter suspiciously, and ordered the people to do as they were told.

"Stop attacking, everyone!!!" Jack told his companions to stop when he saw the situation turn.

At this moment, a helicopter stopped on the deck of the cruise ship, and from the cabin came an elderly man, behind whom many uniformed men were holding guns and pointing them at his head.

"Father, oh my God, what are they going to do? What are they going to do to you? Don't they know who you are? What the hell is going on?!" Martha watched in horror as her tall father came to her at gunpoint, and the people behind her began to panic.

"These are all military people, tell everyone not to move, or I won't be able to save you. The old man looked worriedly at Martha, the daughter he had always loved but was very willful.

"Father, tell them who you are! Isn't this the uniform of our country's army? Are they blind? What the hell is going on?!" Martha looked nervous, and she threw herself into her father's arms, looking horrified at the military personnel who were pointing guns at them.

At this moment, a man of great stature and imposing spirit slowly stepped out of the helicopter and walked towards Martha and her father.

After a whispered conversation, Martha looked fiercely at the mermaid and at Sophie. Her eyes were full of unwillingness and helplessness, full of resentment and ruthlessness.

As the helicopter took off, the cruise ship and ship headed for land, and the sound of broken glasses and Martha's howling could be heard from the cabin.

"Father, didn't you promise me that you would be on my side no matter what the situation was?! Didn't you say that there is nothing in this world that I can't get?!...... Why, why can't I deal with these merfolk?" Martha cried, yelling.

"There are some things that you will never understand. The old man's voice was old and helpless.

"What's the matter?"

"There's no way I've resisted him, and there's no way he's going to actually kill me. This is called politics. The man's voice dissipated in the air, but was repeated by Martha in confusion: "Politics, politics ......?"

"Don't panic, everybody. Jack comforted the merfolk and dolphins, suspecting that the military fighters had been summoned by the National Research Institute to study the mermaids.

And they can't escape these hundreds of fighters, and the chaos will only hasten death.

Can't we escape being caught and killed by humans? Are mermaids only research creatures and never have a chance to be free?

Thinking so, Jack hugged Sophie tightly, sad in his heart.

The roar of the plane was deafening, and a helicopter came up above Jack and dropped a spear.

Instinctively, Jack caught the spear that had been smashed into him with his hand, a very strong weapon made of steel and unknown materials.

Jack looked at the helicopters and fighter jets in the distance, puzzled.

His fingers suddenly rubbed some bumps, and Jack looked down, only to see the spear engraved on it: I know you can still understand human words, I know that you are among these mermaids, Martha has given up revenge, and today's matter will not be revealed. Your mother was obsessed with the exploration of merfolk and was drugged into a state of insanity before she uttered the words of seeing mermaids, and her original intention was to protect these beautiful creatures. I think before today, you've made your choice. In any case, please, live well.

Looking at the group of fighters in the distance, Jack's eyes couldn't help but moisten, he had never known who his father was, and now he had the answer in his heart.

"There are also good people and bad people in human beings, and these good people, who are willing to coexist in this world with mermaids, will not divulge today's events. Jack steadied himself and conveyed the words on the spear to the merfolk.

"What?"

"Is it true?"

"Mom, these things are gone, are they not going to kill us anymore?"

The mermaids talked a lot, and finally hugged each other and cried.

Jack looked at Sophie affectionately, this girl he loved deeply, whether she was a mermaid or a human, what did it matter, he only knew that he loved her, and he wanted to be with her, forever and ever.

"Jack, is it all over?" said Sophie, looking back at Jack, softly.

"Yes, it's all gone. Worry no more, fear no more. Jack stroked Sophie's hair and kissed her face.

This girl he loves deeply, if he can, he wants to spend his life protecting and cherishing it.

"Son, on behalf of the merfolk, I thank you for your rescue, thank you for healing Sophie's eye, as the conqueror of the dark gods, you are the hero of the merfolk!

"Welcome, Jack, and bless you! I'm sure you'll bring happiness to Sophie!" Alan led the applause, followed by the cheers of the merfolk.

At this time, the giant beast on the side suddenly roared and swam close to Jack, and all the mermaids were stunned, and they looked at the giant beast and Jack in horror.

The giant beast stretched out its huge tentacles and touched Jack's hair, and in a moment a cloud of yellow liquid passed through Jack's hair and into the sea.

The yellow substance writhed and swam towards Jack again, wrapping around his hair, only to be gently curled up by the beast's tentacles.

Jack's hair was instantly pulled to the side and stood on end, with a peculiar shape.

"So ......" Jack couldn't help but smile softly, he understood why there was once a mermaid who was able to tame the Overlord of the Deep Sea and become the hero of the mermaid, Cuchis, everything has spirituality, and the giant beast will make compromises for the sake of children.

When he was injured, he was stained with the blood of a giant beast, and the child it hid in the soil thought it was his mother's breath, which was the fate he obtained. And the previous Kachis, perhaps, was another mermaid's adventure.

Seeing that the yellow substance was finally carefully pulled away from Jack's hair by the giant beast, Jack's strange hairstyle looked helpless, and the mermaids couldn't help laughing.

At sunset, the sound of dolphins accompanied by the song of mermaids washed away the haze not long ago. In the sparkling waters, the mermaids swam into the distance, and Jack took Sophie's hand and swam in the deep blue ocean, mermaid world.
