Desharow Mermaid - Chap 66
Chapter 66
Why does Agares hide from me like this? Could it be that he is hiding some ulterior secret?
I frowned full of doubts, feeling very depressed and a little ridiculous. In the past, Agares was chasing me and spying on me all the time, but now I was worried about his whereabouts. Shit, what the hell is going on! Strong reluctance drove me to grope carefully on the iron gate, and squatted down to dive into the water to check, there must be some mechanism that allows people to pass through that I didn’t discover just now. Soon my fingers felt that an iron bar close to the wall was loose. I grabbed it and shook it vigorously a few times, and I broke it off directly.
Damn, I didn’t notice this just now! I immediately put on my crumpled clothes, and the cat waist slipped under.
”Agares!” I shouted his name as I swam into the long underground waterway. After turning a corner, there were several black forks in front of me. I don’t know where they all lead. , perhaps connecting the underground drains of the entire city of Venice, like an underground labyrinth. I should be thankful that I have night vision ability, otherwise I wouldn’t have come to this kind of place like a mouse if I was killed. I really don’t understand what Agares is thinking, he, no, this huge sashimi is getting more and more mysterious. What the hell is he playing tricks on?
I pushed away the various wine bottles and cigarette butts floating by, and took a deep breath of the mixed smell in the air, trying to tell where Agares was going at these forks, and then followed my sense of smell towards Proceed at the fork on the left. At this moment, I suddenly feel that I am not a fucking mouse at all, but a wild cat looking for food after the smell of fish. Oh, foraging, what an inappropriate description!
As I was thinking wildly in my mind, there was suddenly some noise in the underground waterway, which originally only had the sound of quiet water flowing, and it came from above my head. The sound of people’s conversations was mixed with the sound waves, and it seemed to be a very lively place. . where is this
I followed the sound and walked a few steps forward, and saw a faint light from above. I touched upwards, and with a push, I opened the sewer cover above my head a little bit, and poked my head out cautiously. Find yourself in a casino. Surrounded by smog and psychedelic lights, through the fluttering black veil, you can see people around the glistening golden gambling table. The smell of money and sex permeates the air, making this place a pot of boiling soup, and there are no people there. Noticed me popping up out of nowhere. The smell of Agares is here, I’m sure.
After carefully turning it out, I looked around and noticed that the casino seemed to be transformed from a monastery. The dome and pillars were carved with solemn angel reliefs, and there seemed to be murals hanging on the walls. What is Agares doing here? Could it be that fishing in the sea is not enough, and he still wants to come up and play a few games?
I put my hands in my trouser pockets, hooked my back, pretended to be a gambler, and searched for him casually. When I walked to the second floor, I saw my companion on the Poseidon, a man with me Lodia, a very familiar Belarusian girl, was avoiding something in a panic, bending down and running down the stairs. I immediately realized that the casino I came to was the one that Kolov entered. Seeing her strange dark color, I couldn’t help but wake up in my heart. I went up a few steps and grabbed her wrist. Covering her mouth, she dragged her into the shadows at the corner behind the stairs.
”What’s the matter, Rhodea, why are you so flustered? What happened?” I asked in a low voice.
”They…those mafia…” Loudia’s shoulders trembled slightly, “chopped off one of Boss Kolov’s hands!”
I was startled suddenly: “What?
” The thing we traded is not right, they said that the gems that Kolov brought last time were fake, so they have to pay the price of one hand, and they want us to take other things to compensate for their losses!” Lodia frowned. Mouth pursed, she was visibly terrified.
”Calm down, take me to see what’s going on.” I took a deep breath and my heart sank to the bottom. Kolov is my savior, and we have a place to live under his protection. Now that he has this kind of bad luck, I never want to see him. I have to find a way to help. I patted Lodia on the back, and said in a deep voice: “The Mafia has their own principles and bottom line, they want Kolov’s hand, but as long as there is a remedy, it shouldn’t just kill him like this ”
Luodia nodded, she is a very powerful female snitch, her psychological quality is not bad, and she quickly stabilized her emotions. She led me around to a bathroom on the other side of the second-floor porch. There was an extended balcony outside, and we climbed carefully along it, and arrived at a window. I was able to glimpse the scene through the gap in the curtain, and I couldn’t help but gasp. There was a gaming table across the room, and several gun-toting mafia surrounded Kolov, who was pressing his blood-soaked hands. The arm in the house, the part above the wrist was missing, but he was really a tough guy, he just gritted his teeth and looked at the old man who was obviously the head of the Camorra family opposite him, but his pale face was slightly hurt by the pain. twitching. I really admire Kolov’s calmness under such an injury. I moved my body, looked at it from another angle, and immediately noticed a pearl-sized sparkling thing on the table, but it was cut into two pieces by a sharp weapon, and some luminous blue liquid dripped out of it.
My eyelids twitched suddenly, and I couldn’t help opening my eyes wide. I suddenly understood the reason why Agares appeared here.
Because I recognized that thing, it turned out to be a mermaid spore, exactly the same as the one that entered my body, maybe it belonged to Agares!
Kolov caught this before, he didn’t know what it was, and he traded it to the Mafia as a gem, for God’s sake!
”Tell me, Kolov, what is the strange thing that is dripping water here? Is it the candy that children play with? You have to be honest when dealing with us, but you use these things to pretend to be sapphires?” At this time, I heard a The voice asked, and saw the head of the Camorra family twirling the blue liquid on the table, with dark clouds on his face, “After defrauding a huge sum of money last time, you dare to come back? This is what your greed paid for.” The price, Kolov. Now you either ask your men to bring real gems, or I cut off your other hand.” ”
Mr. Camorra, please believe that I never meant to deceive you, these gems They were all authenticated on the spot, right? Even if it’s not sapphires, I believe they are of great value!” Kolov’s teeth trembled, “I was in the wreckage of a ship suspected to be made in Germany. I got it in the safe, if they are just fake gems, how can they be so well protected? I swear on my broken hand, they must be something extraordinary.” “Oh no no no,
I I’m not interested in your explorer’s broken theories, I only care about whether I can get enough marijuana and heroin if I exchange these things, Kolov, you made us lose a lot!” Camorra slapped
furiously As soon as I got off the table, a person next to me immediately grabbed Kolov’s severed wrist, causing him to scream. My scalp was numb, and I couldn’t bear to look away, knowing that the situation was very bad, because this time we were fishing in the Arctic Ocean. I don’t know if the things returned are enough to compensate the losses of the Mafia, and this is our income for half a year. I don’t mind taking out my share to help him, but there are some other people who plan to break up with Kolov and go it alone. Not necessarily. Rhodea blocked her ears and murmured in a low voice: “My God, my God, Delt, we have messed with the Italian mafia, what should we do?” “Go back and
inform the other people on the boat, get some Other valuable things come here, I’ll stay here and adapt accordingly.” I told her in a low voice, Lodia nodded, but just as she was about to leave, I suddenly heard a commotion coming from the first floor Yes, then there was a knock on the door nearby: “Mr. Vikrado, Godmother Liciardi is here.”
”What, that bitch…”
The old man named Vikrado sat up from the chair all of a sudden, and the door was suddenly pushed open, and an unusually beautiful blonde young woman came in from behind, with a radiant face. She was wearing a black windbreaker, looking very bold, her high-heeled shoes made clanking noises as she walked on the marble floor, and she approached the table in a few steps, holding a silver dagger against Vikrado’s forehead On the table, he said lightly: “Who gave you the permission to do business in private here? These things are very valuable. A German company has already negotiated with me. I hope that these things will be as many as possible, but you cut them off.” I lost Kolov’s hand!”
After she finished speaking, she raised the knife and stabbed the dagger on the back of Vikrado’s hand. In an instant, a pig-killing howl resounded in the room, but before I had time He was dumbfounded by this change, and all his attention was suddenly attracted to another figure who slowly entered the room from outside the door.
The man was wearing a Venetian mask, with silver hair tied behind his head. He was tall, just as I had predicted through the glass door if he appeared in human form—almost two meters tall, and his head was almost touching. He leaned against the door frame, and looked a head taller than the tall Italian men around him, which was a bit scary, and the eyes of the people around him couldn’t help but cast on him. I couldn’t help but focus on his lower body, trying to penetrate the long black windbreaker that almost covered his ankles. Is it really a pair of legs hidden underneath? Could his fishtail be hidden under his clothes?
I don’t know how Agares hid himself among humans, I only know that he came for these spores. Except for the destroyed one in front of him, the others are in the hands of the Camorra family, so he has to lurk among them. This could finally explain his behavior. It is not easy to get these spores. I have every reason to believe that the German company Liciardi mentioned just now is the people of Rheinland and Sakral. No matter whether they died in the sea two years ago, the Nazi remnants will Abandon their plan at this point, and it will resurface at the first sign of trouble.
”That tall guy…Could it be the ace killer with albinism under Liciardi’s command—Roy?”
Killer? This is the identity of Agares after entering human society? Indeed, well suited to concealing himself, the killer is always allowed to remain mysterious and distant…
”I heard that he is still her lover.” Lodia added.
”Oh, is that… lover?” I said casually, a thorn in my throat.
”What’s the matter?”
”No, it’s nothing. It seems that Kolov should be fine, and we have good luck.” I scratched the tip of my nose and watched as Liciardi’s people came in to clean up the mess, while Agares Standing motionless like a competent bodyguard, the thick shadow under the mask hides his face. But I could feel his gaze fixed on the broken spore on the table.
That is a very precious thing for the surviving mermaid family. I can imagine his mood as a leader at this time. If he could, he would definitely choose to kill everyone here, but he remained absolutely calm. , no different from a frozen ice sculpture, until Liciardi leaned against his ear and said something, he moved his lips slightly, responded to a suspected Italian syllable, and smiled. I have to admit that smile combined with the mask made him look like a mysterious and charming gentleman.
But suddenly a very uncomfortable feeling surged in my heart, like the feeling of a resentful woman seeing her husband cheating. I couldn’t help but look at the ruptured spore and start thinking wildly. When I realized that I was wondering if I meant a *spore to Agares, I immediately stopped my running thoughts and forced myself not to think about it, but there was still an uncomfortable feeling in my heart Sour.
damn it!
I patted my head, just wanting to get what was in my mind out. At this moment, I saw Liciadi walking away. After watching her leave, Agares came to the table, picked up the spore, and held it in his palm. He wore a pair of black leather gloves. Based on the touch when he hugged me just now, I can be sure that even if he is humanized, his mutation is quite incomplete. His hands are still in the form of webbed claws, so they need to be hidden. I noticed that Agares’ tall body was shaking abnormally, as if he was enduring pain.
I knew something was wrong with him.
”Dert, let’s go, Kolov must have someone by his side.” When Rhodea reminded me, I noticed Agares walked out the door again.
I turned my head sideways, gestured to Rhodea to let her go first, and climbed through the window, trying to follow Agares, but he disappeared again, I cursed him secretly, and ran downstairs I was looking for his whereabouts, and when I passed an open door, my back was suddenly grabbed by two hands, and my whole person was dragged into the darkness in an instant. A strong strange fragrance filled my nostrils, and I immediately gave up struggling, let my body be dragged by Agares, and returned to the underground waterway.
After the lid was closed by Agares on the top of his head, he hugged me tightly, leaning against the damp wall, panting heavily and rapidly, his body trembling violently like a mountain cracking, and then there was a sound of fabric tearing came from under me. I lowered my head subconsciously, and saw Agares’s lower body rolling and undulating, and something was struggling to break through the windbreaker. I immediately wanted to tear open the seam of his clothes, but he pulled it open by himself first. I was taken aback by the sight of the fish. I didn’t know if I should call the thing in front of me “legs” because they didn’t look like it at all, but there was a slit in the middle of the fish’s tail, which barely divided the original structure into two parts. Two strands, still covered with black scales, and the position of human feet is hidden in a pair of black leather boots, I don’t know what it looks like, maybe there are no feet, but they are just stuffed inside, and the fish tail The separated part in the middle has now grown some new tissue, and it is obvious that it is about to be glued together, and it will become the thick and long black fish tail again.
”It’s very unstable, Desaro…I’m going to transform back, I have to find a place to hide.” Agares stared at me and whispered in the mermaid language I could already understand. I looked at him blankly, feeling that the way he talked to me was both strange and familiar. His wide webbed claws wearing leather gloves touched my head, and slowly slid from my cheeks to my lips. His voice was hoarse and low: “Now… are you still afraid of me?”
I didn’t say anything, just grabbed his mask and pulled it off his face. The face exposed behind has not changed in any way, but the pair of pointed wing-shaped ears are slowly growing out from under his hair like some kind of tenacious plant. Perhaps this appearance is a bit scary to others, But I couldn’t help but find it a little funny. So I really smiled naively, and touched the tips of his ears as if molesting some kind of small animal, but he hugged my waist tightly in punishment, and bit my chin possessively.
I shrunk my neck sensitively, but there was an untimely sound of footsteps above my head, which made me realize that this place is really not a good place for a tryst. I looked at the forks leading to nowhere, “Aga Reis, are you familiar with the roads of Venice?”
