The Old Man and the Mermaid

Mr. Mermaid was sure no one could notice himself in this situation.

The storm is still raging, and the color of the entire sea is as dark as the passage of hell described in the sacred book.In the process of pushing the big boat to the shore, the mermaid could see the lights of the fishing boat flickering continuously, and the people on the boat were screaming in horror, running on the deck, trying to find out what caused them to lose control of the course and Turn the tide.

This is a modern fishing boat, people can find [-] reasons to explain the failure of a certain part of it, so Mr. Mermaid is not worried that anyone will notice the fact that the boat is stranded.

The storm came so timely that it seemed that even the gods wanted to bring the crew to justice.

A fishing boat striking the shore in such a violent manner would certainly result in injuries to many of the crew on board, and it could also cause serious damage to the hull, making it impossible for the vessel to sail smoothly again.Mr. Mermaid hid himself in the pitch-black water that he couldn't see, silently watched several people who were trying to climb out of the boat to find a place to hide, swam around quickly, and turned the ferocious man who was heading towards the coast. The waves crashing past were churning a little more frighteningly.

The waves relentlessly hit the shore, knocking those who were about to escape to the ground, and the law enforcement team on the island also moved very quickly. Rushing down to stop them-the residents of the island probably don't know what the ship does, but the law enforcement team must be able to recognize the name of their ship.

Mr. Mermaid quietly watched what happened on the shore, and after more and more lights gathered on the shore, he turned over and dived into a deeper area.

He didn't see Aigre among those humans, so he wasn't interested in how the law enforcement team would deal with that ship.And the mermaid couple doesn't seem to be nearby either. Mr. Mermaid guessed that they probably went after that curly-haired man—the mermaid tribe doesn't have any laws, but they always have a consensus and tacit understanding not to approach or harm humans, even if this time it is considered It happened for a reason, and the elders in Curly's family would probably also want to hear what he said.

In addition, that guy was in the same state as if he was drunk every day, so it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't be tied up and thrown into the bottom of the sea for two days.

Mr. Mermaid speculated like this, feeling much better, and gloated over it.

Aigre is the only one who fully understands all the internal structures of the lighthouse, so even if a ship that was almost smashed to pieces was harvested on the coast near the north and east, he could not leave the lighthouse.What's more, at present, Robertson and the security team member who assisted him in absconding are still missing, and the team members responsible for finding them have not left the lighthouse.

"Damn it, what happened there?" The team member standing next to Aigre cursed again, but still fixed his eyes on the sea very professionally, "Who is the pilot of that ship?" Drunk like a squid!"

Another team member shook his head, frowned and said, "It's easy to damage the steering gear when driving on the sea at night like this."

...This is definitely not a simple matter of damaged parts of the ship.

Aigre said silently in his heart, although his expression was still focused, and he was still trying his best to find the figure of Robertson and that team member as before, but he had already had a lot of guesses in his heart-ships and boats sailing on the sea all the year round. It is absolutely impossible for the pilots of the boat to make such a low-level mistake as rushing towards the shore along the waves, so on such a stormy night, there will be such a boat as if it has completely given up its life The appearance of the big boat that rushed ashore was not normal no matter how I thought about it.

——And his intuition told him that the shocking scene just now must be related to Mr. Mermaid.

He continued to operate the lights in silence, and while the indicator lights were still spinning, he also distributed a warning light to the easternmost coast.

Mr. Mermaid probably didn't want the boatman to be buried directly on the bottom of the sea, so he chose the coast not surrounded by reefs on the east side.

Aigre speculated in this way, and casually asked the team members around him: "Didn't your captain give you any new instructions?"

"No." The team members shook their heads and said, "Until we find the prisoner and the traitor, our mission will probably not change."

As soon as he finished speaking, he received a call from the captain of the law enforcement team.The team member was a little surprised, but he quickly answered the phone. Not long after he answered, his expression became completely stunned.

After he put down the phone, Aigre glanced at him with a slightly bewildered but faintly excited expression, and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

"The ship that was so unlucky that it hit its head on the shore is the large-scale poaching gang that we have been chasing for a long time recently!" The team member's expression was completely excited, and he even raised his hand and patted Aigre's shoulder vigorously, "Good guy! We I've wanted to catch them for a long time, but I didn't expect them to come to the door this time. The captain has already controlled the situation and captured everyone on the ship on the spot, and is preparing to transport them to the prison first."

"Then you have to make the captain be more careful." Egrele was also taken aback for a moment, but soon came back to his senses, and reminded with a slightly serious expression, "Since the first Robertson can be run away, there may be Second one, isn't it?"

"Don't worry about this, little Payer. After making a mistake once, the captain will not make a second mistake, so we are planning to go back now, and then take turns to guard those who break the law." The team members were excited at first. He said a few words, then paused for a while, and said with some doubts: "By the way, the captain also said that we don't need to continue searching for that prisoner. He asked me to thank you for your cooperation on his behalf, and let you Rest well tonight, thank you."

Aigre was silent for a few seconds, but he was not surprised.Since Mr. Mermaid would suddenly do such an abnormal thing, there must be a reason. So far, the only related incident that Aigre can think of is Robertson's escape.

"You're welcome." After thinking about it, Aigre told him in a gentle tone, "It's just that the storm probably won't stop tonight, and I have to trouble you to contact the substitute staff in town to look after the night lights for me."

"No problem, we'll get in touch for you."

The team members quickly evacuated the lighthouse in a well-trained manner, leaving Aigre to turn off one of the warning lights, and still let the strong light of the other light shine on the ship sleeping on the east coast.

He couldn't see the situation there clearly, he could only see the blurred outline of the big ship and a few small figures occasionally swaying by on the beach.He speculated about the specific relationship between Robertson and this big ship. Although he couldn't think of any reliable possibility for the time being, he also knew that the cooperation and transaction between them would definitely not be a serious matter.

The storm will last until tomorrow, and Aigre desperately wants to go to the coast to find Mr. Mermaid, but he has no way to leave.What's more, the substitute may arrive at the lighthouse at any time, and he really can't find a chance to get out of the lighthouse now.

After adjusting the lights to normal, he walked to the French windows on the upper floor of the lighthouse, cast his eyes on the coast, and sighed.

If possible, he hopes that the group of excellent people who develop mobile phones can create a new communication device that can be used underwater-this design is obviously quite anti-human, because humans have not yet been able to smoothly and comfortably in water. The ability to speak, but if there is such a device, he may be able to contact Mr. Mermaid in such a situation where he cannot meet, and determine his current situation.

And you can also send love letters, write funny jokes, and even do some strange written games...

Aigre raised one hand to cover his eyes, forcing himself to stop the thoughts that were flying rapidly towards the black hole of the abyss.

He couldn't find Mr. Mermaid's figure on such a bad night, but Mr. Mermaid could clearly see him standing behind the floor-to-ceiling windows under the sea.

Such a scene reminded Mr. Fish of a night not long after they met.At that time, he was hiding under the sea as he is now, staring intently at Aigle standing on the high tower.

Aigre's figure at that time was lonely and tall, just like his invincible but always alone appearance in the sea for so many years.

But this time Aigre was obviously thinking about something inexplicable again. Mr. Mermaid could even vaguely see his constantly moving steps and the hand that suddenly raised to cover his eyes.

After observing for a while, Mr. Mermaid narrowed his eyes questioningly, guessing what Aigre might be thinking now.

A few seconds later, he realized that he was thinking too much—how could anyone in this world guess that Aigre was like a black hole in the universe.

Mr. Mermaid couldn't help smiling, and gave Aigre one last look, then turned and went back to the bottom of the sea.

Robertson was brought into the bottom of the sea by the curly hair, and it was impossible to get ashore alive. He paid the due price for killing the fisherman named Joel mentioned by Aigre.And this fishing boat that had been in contact with Robertson was also arrested this evening.The whole thing had a very strange origin, but it ended very smoothly, and after this incident, their lives were able to return to peace again.

He really wanted to live quietly for a while, and by the way, waited for Eigre to learn the language of the mermaid as soon as possible—he had always wanted to tell Eigre a few words, and he also believed that Aigre would never let him wait any longer up.
