Lizard Keeping Diary

Turn left...go straight...through that hallway...and two aisles away...

Halfway Schatz stopped and took two breaths.Kuru sensed that someone was approaching in advance, and pushed him into the gap in the wall.The two huddled together, vaguely seeing the scene outside.A group of fierce merfolk are on patrol, apparently looking for something.

In the dark, the heart beats so violently.Schatz found it hard to breathe and could collapse at any moment.

The truth is that he really fell.The gap suddenly expanded, swallowing the two of them in one gulp.

"ah-"

A hand covers Schatz's mouth, preventing him from prolonging the note.

Schatz soon realized that in front of him was a mermaid.Seaweed-like long hair surrounded her body, her skin was cold and wet, and Schatz was even more surprised when she turned her head to reveal that ugly face.

Annalize...

Shatz looked around, and this was actually the lady's room.

Kuru seemed to understand who she was, so his eyes lit up with anger, and he went up to tear her apart, but Shatz held her back.

His blocking made Kuru look puzzled.Schatz couldn't explain it, but felt that Annalize didn't look hostile.

Annalize turned sideways to them, and pulled down a piece of clam curtain, which just blocked the gap just now.

The fighters outside are still wandering.Annalize sat there dryly, as if she didn't notice the two people in the room.Kuru squatted beside Shatz, frowning, and didn't tell Shatz about it until they left.

At this moment, Annalize said, "I asked them to repair the wall. It's been half a month, and there is still no one."

Shatz stood up and looked at her with a complicated expression, "You know we are running away. Why didn't you arrest us just now? Or report us?"

"Ants like you don't deserve my attention." Annalize said, "And your companion, I don't know where he came from, but I don't want to see you, get out of my room."

Schatz looked at her intently.

Kuru approached the door cautiously, and found that there was no one outside, so he called Shatz to follow.

Shatz took a step, but a voice suddenly came from behind, "Wait."

Schatz turned around and saw Annalize pointing at him.

"What's the matter with your clothes? No one would run away in such a floor-length skirt, just wait until you fall to your head." Annalize took a stack of clean clothes from the shell and handed them fiercely. To Schatz, "This is your old clothes. It smells disgusting, and it won't come off after washing."

When Shatz took the clothes, Annalize turned her head and told him to change into the old clothes quickly, and she became much more flexible.

They didn't have time to talk, but before they left, Schatz asked, "Why help me?"

"I help you?" she sneered. "I'm helping my brother. Land people are a disaster."

Yes, land people are disasters.This is true.

Maybe Annalize was right from start to finish.

Schatz and Kuru left from her.Without looking back, he went straight to the pier to the east.What they didn't know was that Annalize also stepped out of her room shortly after they left.Just like them, once she left, she never came back.

In the palace, Annalize met many familiar creatures, but none of them greeted her and asked her where she was going.

She is used to it.Since she was disfigured, everyone's attitude towards her has been completely different from before.

Most mermaids are honest, what's annoying is annoying, and what's ugly is ugly.

So when they saw her, the look of disgust went straight to the bottom of their hearts.

Those land people hurt her with knives, treating her like a log, chipping here and there, with the ultimate goal of hearing her howl and scream.

After she was rescued, what she thought about all day was not how to restore her health, but how to save this face.

But she tried her best to apply medicine and ointment on her face, but she could only repair the skin, and her facial features could never get better.

When she realized this, she was almost dehydrated from crying.

Even her brother treats her differently than before.He once called her little pearl, little beauty, and took her on his back to swim in the deep sea.Now all he sees is an illusory future.He believed that everything was preordained and belonged to an inescapable fate.So what about her tragedy?Should she also accept her fate?

In this dark seabed, no one can give her an answer.

No matter where she went, she seemed to hear whispers, pointing fingers at her appearance.

During the most difficult days, she hovered on the verge of suicide, and there were always a dozen attempts.

Later, my brother found out about her abnormality and found some "friends" for her, thinking that this would solve her depression.

But she understood that those female officials were hypocritical, and they were willing to listen to her because they saw that she was the chief's younger sister.

Once she couldn't help it, and asked them if they thought they were ugly, they said miss, don't mention it.

After all, most mermaids are honest... brutally honest, hypocritically honest...

The cold days stretched as far as the eye could see.She had to wrap herself in venom to avoid frostbite.

She thought it would go on like this forever, until the day she died.But she found out she was wrong.

In that venom-covered corner, there was another place she kept, soft, clean and beautiful.

As long as there is a ray of light, the whole corner can be rejuvenated.

It's just that she didn't expect that in the end, a human being turned into light shone on her body.

"You are not ugly. 』

"A phase is born from the heart. 』

"Your singing voice is so beautiful, and your heart must be beautiful too. 』

She didn't show it at the time, but after dismissing the landman, she shut the door and burst into tears.

It was such a simple word, even without knowing whether it was true or not, it caused her to collapse like a dike in an instant.

How could someone...been bullied by her like that, and still treat her so tenderly?

She thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out, so she tried harder.

In the end there was no conclusion.But she was sure it felt good.Since her return to the bottom of the sea, she has never been touched so deeply.This is not from the mermen, those compatriots she has felt strange, but from a so-called alien.

If it is true as he said, then... a person as good as him must have a more beautiful heart and singing voice.

Anyway, this palace is no longer warm, maybe it's time to re-examine yourself and find your true destination.

A snow-white cloak flutters, and hundreds of hand-stitched pearls are dotted with silk cloth like flowers.

The mermaid hummed softly, letting the familiar melody accompany her on a new journey.

"...that is a strange red pearl that brings me eternal peace."

"When you go up, what do you want to do?"

Hearing this question suddenly, Schatz was a little stunned.But they have arrived at the pier, almost close to their destination.Shatz thought as he ran, panting for an answer.

"I want to relax for a while," he said. "All kinds of things have been going on for a while now... Phew... I feel like I can't take it anymore... Phew... Want to get away, Get as far away as possible and live your own life.”

"Then do you still want to play the piano and sing?" Kuru's breath was still steady.

"Hmm... I have to make new clothes for Xiaolong."

Fortunately, it is not a new skirt.

Kuru smiled inwardly, but his complexion suddenly changed, and he pulled Shatz to stop.Those sharp golden eyes narrowed, aware of the presence of other creatures.Schatz knew it was a bad omen, so he grabbed his hand tightly, his heart pounding.

anyone there?Where is it?

The eyes of the two met.Schatz silently asked Kuru.

Kuru answered with mouth shape: just one.In front of me to the right.

At the same time, he held Shatz's hand tightly, for fear of losing him.

This place is like a huge warehouse, full of high iron boxes, some places are more, some places are less, all arranged neatly, forming corridors of uneven length.

At the ocean berth, there is a pipe connecting the inside and the outside, which is closed at the moment.

The two knew that there was a third person here, so they didn't rush forward, but looked for each other's existence.

After all, it is likely to be Anatis' warrior, waiting to attack from behind, we must not take it lightly.

While they were moving, the other party was also moving, darting towards the front at a fast speed.

Schatz began to feel that something was wrong. The other party didn't seem to want to hide it, but instead wanted to intercept it head-on.

He squeezed Kuru's palm tightly, expressing concern with his eyes.Kuru frowned, feeling further.

There were hoarse voices in the air, like mystics summoning the undead through evil spells.

"Great warriors,

the best of the best,

Heed my call,

Gather here. "

"Anantis!" Schatz yelled, "Don't hide there, come out!"

When the words came to an end, a crooked figure gradually appeared in the void.

It really was Anatis, except that he had an extra ebony staff in his hand, which was smooth and straight, with ivory parts embedded in the top and end.It was too modest for a staff, but the chief raised it slowly, like a sorcerer raising his mightiest weapon.

"come on."

Accompanied by his call, a horrifying scene came into view.

Different hands and feet protrude from all directions, seeping into the wall, and the phantom is invisible.

The facial features were covered with skin, and at the same time, it was stuck in the wall, stretched forcibly until it almost burst, and finally passed through.

It's as if they are pulling living creatures and using them as a medium to savagely trample on the boundaries of space.

In the end, those hands, feet, and faces appeared as thousands of Anatis warriors.

Different from the officials in the palace, these mermaids exposed their white teeth, their hands were as sharp as eagle claws, and their wolf-like eyes stared at Shatz and Kuru with a faint green light, as if they were about to tear their flesh at any moment. Then eat it alive.

"You must think I'm a fool. Can't even find an intruder, huh?"

Anatis floated in the middle of the team, and when he looked at Kuru, his eyes turned red instantly.

"It's you...so it's you...my prophecy only missed you!" Anatis roared, "It's a change of fate, you will definitely die!"

Shatz was a little frightened. Anatis had never shown this side before, even if he died, he would not change his face. Now he reacted so excitedly to Kuru, which he did not expect.This ferocious face completely destroyed the beauty of the mermaid itself.

Sensing the trembling of the people around him, Kuru whispered, "It's okay, I'm here."

These five short words calmed Schatz down.

Nothing to be afraid of.
