Chapter 880: Deal with a mermaid or a devil?
The moment that the singing stopped, everyone slowly regained their senses.
At that moment, all of the shadows drew out their weapons and prepared to fight, but they immediately dropped them again when they saw me glaring at them.
I gestured with my hand for them to lower it while I was glaring at them, so they had no choice but to lower their weapons in the end.
But the vigilant looks on their faces made it clear that they were ready to react if anything happened.
There was a long silence that lingered in the air before a voice that was as beautiful as the singing said, “Human, you’re not afraid of me?”
I gave a chuckle as I said, “Why would I need to be afraid of you?”
“Hmm? What if I do something like this?”
As soon as that beautiful voice fell, there were large tentacles of water that came out of the river. These tentacles were raised in a way that they were all pointing at the ship.
With the way that these tentacles surrounded the ship, it was almost as if they were ready to slap the ship into pieces, sending them all into the depths of the water.
All of the shadows and my wives looked worried about this.
They looked at me as if they wanted me to pull out of this place, but I just ignored them all. Instead, I said with another chuckle, “What would you gain from doing that?”
There was silence that followed this before the beautiful voice started to laugh as well.
As that beautiful voice laughed, the water tentacles suddenly turned back into water that fell into the river.
Once the beautiful voice finished laughing, it said, “Human, what are you doing here? Or are you here because of the rumours that have spread about me?”
I just calmly said, “I’m here to meet you, nothing more, nothing less.”
“But you asked if I want to become human?” The beautiful voice said with a confused tone.
“Isn’t that what you want? Why else would you come to a place in the middle of nowhere like this?” I calmly replied.
Another silence followed before the beautiful voice said, “It seems like you know a lot about us.”
“No more than the average person…” After a pause, I added, “Well, maybe a bit more than the average person.”
Both of us laughed after I said this.
“So how about you come out and we have a talk?” I said after we finished laughing.
After a moment of pause, the beautiful voice said, “Alright.”
With a splashing sound, there was something that came out from behind the rock.
The moment that the splashing sound was heard, all of the shadows immediately raised their guard once more. They raised their weapons even though I had told them to keep them down since they had no idea what was happening.
But they were surprised to see that the figure that came out from behind the rocks was much smaller than they thought.
After that figure swam closer, they were surprised to see that it wasn’t much bigger than a human.
In fact, it was basically a human that was swimming over.
The only difference was that instead of legs, this person seemed to have a fish fin for a lower half.
A mermaid!
Everyone except for me was shocked the moment that they saw that it was a mermaid that was swimming out from behind the rocks.
It was clear that not a single person had expected to see a mermaid.
Once they slowly recovered from their shock, they all slowly looked at me as if they were looking for some kind of confirmation.
“Ah, he knew.” That was the only thing that they thought when they saw the calm look that was on my face.
When the mermaid swam over, she looked right up at me and asked, “Human, you’re not surprised? Is this perhaps not the first time seeing someone from my race?”
There was a faint smile that appeared on my face when I heard this.
It was indeed not the first time that I was seeing a mermaid, but that was only in terms of meeting mermaids in the game. It was my first time seeing a mermaid in real life like this, so it could still be considered a monumental moment.
However, most of that surprise was negated by the fact that…I had already met this mermaid before.
It wasn’t that I had met this mermaid in this world before, it was that I had met this mermaid in the game before.
I knew exactly who she was, I even knew just what she looked like without any clothes on. Though she was only wearing a shell bra in the first place, it wasn’t hard for most people to
imagine it.
This was a beautiful mermaid with flowing red hair and beautiful sparkling blue eyes, similar to the little mermaid of my past life.
In fact, her name was even the same as that little mermaid.
Ariel.
It was clear where the creators of the game had drawn their inspiration from.
Though she did look a bit more mature than the little mermaid of my past life.
Seeing this smile on my face, the mermaid revealed a strange look before saying, “Then human, do you know why I’m here?”
I came out of my daze when I heard this and said with the same faint smile, “I know that you
want to become human and I can help you with that.”
This time, there was a surprised look that appeared on the mermaid’s face.
It was clear that she wasn’t expecting to hear this.
It was the latter part that she wasn’t expecting to hear. After all, the way that this human said
this was almost as if he already knew how she could become a human.
After a moment of silence, the mermaid narrowed her eyes to look at me before saying, “Are you sure that you can offer your flesh that easily?”
Flesh?
The others all revealed shocked looks when they heard this.
Was this a deal with a mermaid or a devil?
