Chapter 17: The Mermaid in the Sewers

"Gollum ......"

In the sound of bubble chrysalis, a large string of foam suddenly appeared at the mouth of the sewer of the vegetable washing trough.

The bubble was brightly colored, with a bluish-purple glow on its surface, similar to the dirty color of the rippling water surface of the factory's sewage outfall.

The foam bubbled up more and more, until it overflowed the sink, and then quietly stopped.

"Smack!"

In a subtle and strange movement, an "M" shaped water stain suddenly appeared on the ground.

Not long after, the water stain reappeared not far away, and it spread like footprints into the living room.

What does it seem to be looking for?

After going around the living room, he quietly stopped at the desk in the corner of the living room.

"Rustling ......"

The books on the table automatically rose up without wind, and several ornaments also moved their positions.

Not long after, there was a "bang", and the desk drawer opened automatically, and the clock parts flew in it, as if an invisible hand was rummaging through it.

The table movement grew louder and louder, until a screeching sound of the door opening overpowered all the noise.

In an instant, the house fell silent, and a pin drop could be heard.

Following the sound, I saw a male human pushing open the door, sweeping the living room with a strange face, and muttering, "Why hasn't dinner been cooked yet?" ā€

He grumbled and walked to the kitchen door, his face changing as his gaze just reached in.

I saw his newly hired maid, Caroline, slumped on the ground for some reason, suspected of falling into a coma.

"Caroline? Caroline? ā€

He hurriedly approached, patted Caroline on the cheek and shouted.

"Huh?"

Caroline opened her eyes blankly, and the overlap between dream and reality made her subconsciously say, "You're back?" Caroline had already prepared dinner and we ...... Not! ā€

As she was talking, her eyes widened suddenly, she realized something, and her face suddenly turned red, Sairuo Natural Cochineal Cream!

"Mr. Langdon? I'm sorry, I, I, I may have been so tired that I fell asleep before I knew it. ā€

She quickly stood up and explained nervously.

The deer in my heart is even more knocking!

Oh my God, Carolyn, what the hell are you talking about?

"It's okay, you should go home this afternoon and get some rest! Alright, that's all for today, let's go home early and rest! "Li Shenzhi.

"Uh-huh!"

Caroline's face flushed, and her shame made her want to leave.

However, as soon as she walked out of the kitchen, she suddenly realized something, and quickly stopped, turned her head and stammered with an embarrassed expression, "Mr. Langdon, then, can I still come to work tomorrow?" ā€

"Of course, you want to resign?" Li Shenzhi.

"No, no! Thank you, Mr. Langdon, I—I'll clean up the kitchen before I go! With that, Caroline was so excited that she was about to go into the kitchen again.

"It's okay, my body is tight, go back and have a good rest, if the economy is tight, I can advance part of my salary."

"No, no, I have a younger sister who has enough money to live on."

"It's good if you don't have it, then go back and rest early!" Li Shenzhi urged again.

"Yes, Mr. Langdon."

Caroline bowed and left the apartment with a blushing face, driven mad with shame in her heart.

It must have been too late last night, otherwise how could you suddenly fall asleep while washing the dishes?

No, I'm obviously standing, it's not asleep, it's fainting!

It's over, it must be too frugal during this time, and he suffers from "wasting disease", otherwise he won't faint. [Note 1]

Caroline's face turned pale.

She has a younger sister who studies medicine, and she naturally knows a lot about common diseases.

The thought that she might have been sick made her feel more and more mixed.

Wasting disease is not serious, and resuming a healthy diet will soon recover spontaneously.

The thing is, it takes a process.

She can't take time off to recuperate, can she?

It was a job that she had found with great difficulty, and she didn't want to give up.

I hope the kind Mr. Langdon doesn't dislike her for being sick.

When I go back tonight, I have to ask my sister how I can recover quickly.

Well, by the way, can't say it's me, she'll be worried.

- Well, let's just say that the employer is not in good health, well, yes, let's just say that.

……

……

After driving away the maid Caroline, Li Shenzhi came to the living room and sat down at the desk.

He pulled open the drawer, found the gemstone ring, took out the tool, and carefully broke the claw clasp of the ring, removing the gem.

It is a ruby with a scarlet bright color and an obsessive smell of money.

He was looking at it intently, and a melodious and soft song wafted from nowhere.

Li Shenzhi, who was sitting on the chair, gradually relaxed and blurred when he heard the sound.

"Dangchang!"

The ruby fell with a thud and rolled under the table.

Li Shenzhi didn't realize it, closed his eyes with a smile, fell down on the desk, and fell asleep, like Caroline in a coma.

"Smack!"

A smear of water stains slowly appeared behind Li Shenzhi.

The light shining through the glass doors and windows faintly refracted a little strange, and a faint green white arm suddenly poked out from the side, trying to reach into Li Shenzhi's jacket pocket.

At this moment, a big hand that has been winding the bell tower all the year round "snapped", grabbed the green white arm, and pierced the illusion with a bang!

A streamer of light flashed from the grip of the large hand, like the ashes of flame sweeping through the charred charcoal.

The difference is that it is a white carcass with a few points of phosphorescence.

- At the end of her arm, there was a young girl with a young and frightened face.

Her upper body was shirtless, only a few shells covered the vital parts, and the lower half of her body was directly a fishtail with shimmering silver scales.

At this point, she was propped up on the ground with her tail fin.

"Don't move, be careful of misfire."

The swarthy muzzle of the revolver rests on the girl's head.

However, this girl was directly frightened, where can she listen to the words of intimidation?

She struggled desperately, opened her mouth even more, spit out bubbles one by one, and flew towards Li Shenzhi.

Li Shenzhi's face changed slightly.

Humanity and reason clash wildly in an instant.

At this critical moment, he suddenly became wise in a hurry, and his body left Langdon and tried to escape into the girl's body.

"Hmm-"

The girl seemed to be pierced by a foreign body, and in a muffled snort, her whole body stiffened, and her pupils rapidly dilated.

For the first time, she felt the presence of a soul.

For an indescribable and indescribable behemoth poured into her fragile body, stripping her soul from its shell and driving it into a corner.

This behemoth is so terrifying that it is impossible to see the whole picture.

One can only see a large mass of blurred colors, intertwined to form a desecrated existence of the souls of all beings.

Cracking, furious energy, encircling Him, moving, expanding, throbbing in a rhythm that resonates with the soul.

Every second of her was under unimaginable pressure and fear.

"Who are you? You, You're the god of navigation, aren't you? I didn't mean to break into Your realm...... I am a siren, and I want to serve you as Lord! ā€
