Desharow Mermaid - Chap 102
Chapter 102
”Hey, I warn you, let me get out of here!”
I struggled in his arms, scratching and biting his arms, but his body was as strong as an iron hoop, and I felt his hard chest pressing down On my back, the excited big thing hit my tailbone with the swing of the fish’s tail, making my scalp numb. The surrounding stone forests are getting bigger and denser, forming a curved and connected structure like an old tree above the head. Glowing unidentified objects like veins climb all over the stone walls, and jellyfish, fish and shrimps of all sizes float in the air like birds. Moving, their bodies seem to be mirrored, as if reflecting the starry sky and clouds, forming pieces of moving galaxies. As the mermaid leader led me deeper into it, it gave me the illusion of entering another universe. Looking at this strange world that I have never seen before, I forgot to struggle for a moment, and unconsciously recalled the situation just now.
The words I heard seemed to contain the same meaning—the mermaid leader knew me in the past fifty years, and there was a certain relationship between us—descendant and spouse? No, no, no, what a messy relationship! And that silver-tailed mermaid who looks like my grandfather, what do those strange words he said mean? He said that I will be reborn fifty years later. Could it be that the current me is reborn after the death of the past me? What a strange and terrifying thing this is, it is simply something that only happens in myths!
I was flustered and thinking desperately in my mind, wishing to dismantle every sentence into parts and particles one by one, and use a magnifying glass to find out the cause and effect of their connection, because they are more difficult for me to accept than advanced physics at the moment. understand.
Just when I couldn’t figure it out, we had passed through the stone forest and entered a bigger cave. There was a huge waterfall in front of us. The splashing water formed a translucent mist in mid-air. I swear that if the mermaid leader was not still hugging me tightly, I would doubt that I had come to the legendary paradise. I looked up against the current and saw that the waterfall flowed down from a crack in the top of the cave above. I could even see large and small fish falling in with the current, which made me guess that we were in the sea. under.
How incredible it is!
I secretly marveled. The mermaid leader has led me to swim close to the bottom of the waterfall. Seeing that the pouring water is about to rush to me, I cover my head subconsciously, but I feel him jumping out of the water and rushing into the air. I can’t imagine him leaping to such an incredible height, it’s almost as if he’s going to fly to the gap in the ceiling, but then he falls back down. I couldn’t help screaming, but it was only a moment to pass through the waterfall. Before I even realized it, I felt myself falling into the water again.
After I shook off the water droplets blocking my vision from my face, I was immediately taken aback by the sight in front of me.
——In the water mist behind the waterfall, a blue halo like a glass hemisphere floats on the water surface, and a figure looms in it.
”Go, go and see yourself.”
The mermaid leader whispered in my ear. Surrounded by him, I slowly approached the edge of the aperture. Myself? I held my breath in disbelief. As if attracted by an invisible magic force, I instinctively reached out, put my head close to the thin translucent layer, and looked inside. In an instant, I felt as if my brain had been hit by a heavy hammer, and my eyes widened in a daze, unable to believe what I saw.
In the light curtain, there was actually a person who looked very similar to him, more precisely, a “half mermaid”. He closed his eyes quietly, and he looked older than me, obviously an adult. I noticed that his “fish tail” is silver-gray like the mermaid that is very similar to my grandfather, but the outline of the legs can be clearly seen under the fish scales, as if he died before turning into a mermaid, so the appearance is between form between the two.
Is this really me? My gaze was attracted to this person, and I couldn’t help but pass through the aperture and reach out to that “I”, but my fingers touched a void, and the figure of “I” suddenly flickered a few times, as if it was just being captured by a projector. The picture mapped out by the camera lens is nothing but three-dimensional.
”That’s an afterimage of your body that remains in my memory, Desaro, it’s not real.” ”
What? Then how could I see it?”
”When you died at that time, I stored your life core in my body. What you see is only your past image reflected by my memory, or your future appearance.”
” You mean, what I’m touching now is your memory? The mermaid’s memory can be turned into a visible image? It’s amazing!”
My eyes lingered on “me” and couldn’t move away, subconsciously wandering Into the blue ball of light.
The image suddenly floated like a cloud of smoke, dispersed in the light ball, turned into countless pieces of fine dust, and gathered into a ball, wrapping me in it, as if it was merging with me.
”Desaro…”
The mermaid leader’s call came from outside the ball of light, and it sounded a bit ethereal. I looked up at him. Through the translucent thin layer of light, those deep eyes are staring at me deeply, and his webbed claws are placed outside the light sphere, as if there is a glass wall between us. This scene is so familiar, I can’t tell where I’ve seen it before, but my body reacts faster than my brain. I raised my hand and spread my five fingers to overlap his palm in the blue halo. Touching the bridge of the nose, breathing is also intertwined.
”Agares?”
I read these syllables in a daze, and even chewed the sweet and sour taste in it carefully, and an indescribable strange feeling surged in my heart. Fragments that had flitted across my mind a moment ago gradually came together into a complete picture, rushing into memory like a waterfall into the ocean. In an instant, many voices sounded one after another around me. They were telling the joys and sorrows that I seemed to have heard before, but they were hazy and inaudible.
My body seems to be traveling through a tunnel at a very high speed, and the hunting wind blows over my body, leaving pleasant or painful feelings all over my body, as if decades of time have passed through in this short moment. My heart gradually became heavy, and an inexplicable emotional tide filled my chest, becoming more and more intense and clearer, as if the waterfall of memories flowing into the ocean stirred up waves in my heart, and my heart was bumped up and down. My brain became hot like a fever, and I was groggy, and everything was blurred.
”Is this something I have experienced before? Agares…” I murmured dreamily, my body limply leaning forward, and I was embraced by him.
”Yes, Desaro… That’s what you experienced in another time and space, that’s your future.” Agares’ lips leaned against my neck, and his breathing disturbed my ears, ” You met me in that time and space and died in this time and space. So I waited for you here for fifty years, waiting for you to be reborn at the same point in time, and waiting for you to come back to me. I could have waited until the end of the century—when , the two time and space will overlap, and you will naturally repeat all the process of you meeting me. But I can’t wait, I just want to appear in your life earlier, and let you grow up beside me…” He
whispered As he spoke, the affection revealed in his tone was as intoxicating as fermented fine wine.
Subconsciously, I raised my neck and sniffed the scent from his hair. Ah, that smells so good, I hugged his neck and swallowed, an impulse that made me ashamed stirred in my body. But at the same time, heavy drowsiness also hit my brain, and I closed my eyes in a daze.
”Desaro?” I heard Agares calling my name softly, but I ignored him, tilted my head on his shoulder, and smacked my lips.
Just when I was about to fall into a deep sleep and drowsy, I suddenly felt something wet running on my back, extending from the back of my neck to my tailbone, and my whole body was extremely hot. Suddenly, I felt a pain in the back of my buttocks, as if a big, thick, slippery eel was squeezing around.
”Take it away…” I cried out in pain, I instinctively covered my buttocks, and curled up my legs, but the thing was still persistently trying to push it in. I opened my eyes in a daze, and saw Agares looking at me with apologetic eyes. His breathing was very heavy, and the sound of wheezing and wheezing was repeated in my ears like a bellows. I covered his mouth in agitation, and leaned on him in a more comfortable position, my mind was in a mess, and my eyelids became heavy again.
I don’t know how long I have been in a coma, when an unusually familiar voice penetrated into my ears faintly.
”Leave him… Desaro, come to me…”
”Leave him…”
Even in a daze, I could still make out that the speaker seemed to be my grandfather. I opened my eyes, looked around, and found myself lying on a rock behind the waterfall. The sound came from nowhere, it seemed to come from the other side of the waterfall. I propped up my body, but my hands touched something greasy. I was shocked and found that Agares was lying beside me, his eyes were closed, and he seemed to be asleep.
I knew that this might be an excellent opportunity to escape, but my eyes seemed to be glued to his body and I couldn’t move away. Some pictures that had settled in my mind came back to my eyes, and it was clearer now.
”Bang bang… bang bang…”
The sound of the heart beating wildly in the chest was extremely loud, and even the eardrum seemed to be shaking.
I realized that the desire to be close to him was much stronger than the desire to get out of here. I felt an impulse in my heart that I had never had since I was a child. It is no exaggeration to say that it was as if the soul had escaped from my body, tempting me to do something that I had never thought of before. , some secret and shameful behavior, like hiding in the toilet and secretly masturbating, but I want to do something more daring than that now. I was even a little intimidated by my own thoughts, but I knew I couldn’t stop myself from doing it.
