One-star idol counterattack plan

"You, you are..." The purple-haired boy subconsciously took half a step back, startled and nervous, unable to utter the word that came to his lips.

Looking carefully at the savior, there are two transparent ear fins hidden under the wet black hair, fish scale-shaped lines under the smooth eyes, and a thin layer of gauze covering the slender body, spreading from the waist layer by layer. The scales glistened in the sun, and the slightly webbed hands resting lightly on the reef, plus the tail that couldn't be ignored.

Make no mistake, this is not human.

"Human, mermaid." He didn't know whether he was excited or scared, and he said the name tremblingly.

"Mermaid?" The black-haired mermaid blinked, seeming a little curious, "Is that what the koalas call us now? It doesn't sound very nice. I have a name, and my name is Doris. How about you?"

"I, I'm Alvin." Alvin stammered out his name, with a dazed look on his face as if he was in a dream.

"This should be a dream." He emphasized to himself, "How is it possible? I have obviously fallen into the deep sea, why was I rescued, and it was still a mermaid. It is even lower than the possibility of Saier running back to save me , so it was a dream!"

Purcell was the boy who led others to bully him yesterday.

"Dream what?" The black-haired and green-eyed mermaid suddenly approached, and the enlarged facial features made Alvin exclaim in surprise and almost fell down.

Seeing his appearance, Doris lowered his face and frowned: "Is this how you treat your savior? Everyone in Coral City is right. Anchovies are ungrateful and not worth saving."

After all, the huge silver fish flicked its tail, and the black-haired mermaid jumped up in mid-air, its extraordinarily graceful figure blocked the scorching light for an instant, casting a very strange shadow.

"Plop", the mermaid dived back into the sea, splashed floating water, and disappeared.

Alvin, who didn't expect things to develop like this, had no time to stop them, and watched the mermaid disappear before his eyes.

"Wait!" After reacting, he stepped into the sea in a hurry, and hurriedly climbed up the reef where the mermaid had just sat. Because he was not used to it, he almost fell off, but fortunately, he climbed up smoothly in the end.

"I, I didn't mean that, I'm sorry, thank you for saving me!" The purple-haired boy's hair was tousled by the wind, revealing the sweat on the tip of his nose and anxious eyes, "Actually, I've always wanted to see you, I There is no malice. I have heard many stories about you, and I have been looking forward to seeing you from the past, I..."

He didn't seem to have thought about what to say at all, and he confided all his feelings in a panic, talking nonsense without any rules.

The sea was calm and there was no reaction at all. The mermaid seemed to have gone far away.

After discovering this, the intermittent words in Alvin's mouth stopped abruptly.

The purple-haired boy stood on the reef, looking at the vast and endless sea alone. The wind blew his disheveled hair and faded clothes, outlining a thin and helpless figure.

The boy squatted down slowly, hugged his legs, and said in a low tone, "I... just want to have a friend."

The deep blue sea is silent, and the gentle beating of the waves can overwhelm the humble heartfelt words, let alone convey them to the distant seabed below.

"Friend? Do you want to be my friend?"

A cheerful and bright voice suddenly sounded, and the churning sound of the water waves became no longer clear.

Looking up, a curious black-haired mermaid emerged from the water, looked at him seriously, and repeated: "Do you want to be my friend? Alvin."

"I think!" Alvin replied firmly without hesitation.

Doris nodded, stretched out his hands with blue nails, and counted them in a dignified manner: "Okay, then in order to become my friend, you must abide by four rules. Kelp, catching small fish. Second, help me tidy up the scales on my tail every day, so that none of them will become ugly. Third, be honest with me. Correspondingly, I will be honest with you. Fourth... Well, this will wait for me Say it again."

The purple-haired boy's expression froze, and his blood froze. After hearing the mermaids counting one by one, he asked him with a puzzled face: "This is not the same as the friend I imagined. To be a friend, you have to do so much." something?"

"Of course." The black-haired mermaid said decisively, "You are an anchovies, and I am willing to make friends with you, which is very rare."

After thinking about it, he added: "In Coral City, the little fish who help me with these chores always have a very happy expression, don't you like it?"

Alvin, who heard this kind of thing for the first time, was fooled, and replied in a daze: "Is that so? Well, since this is the duty of a friend."

Doris was obviously very happy to hear the answer. With his tail forceful, he jumped out of the water and sat down next to Alvin along with the water drops falling from the sky: "Then from today, we are friends!"

"...Okay." Bewitched by the colorful water droplets and the mermaid's smile, the purple-haired boy subconsciously responded.

From this day on, Alvin, who has no friends, has a friend like no other.

Alvin was always nervous at the beginning. He treated Doris like a glass that would easily break, approached him cautiously, and spoke in the way the mermaid said. is human.

"In case Doris finds out that I'm not an anchovy but a human..." He looked at the mermaid churning in the sea with a disturbed expression.

But soon, he discovered the harmlessness and innocence of the mermaid.

As Dorris himself stipulated, he answered all his questions with the utmost sincerity and with little concealment.

"What? Why did you save you?" The black-haired mermaid was surprised for a moment, and replied after a short thought, "Well... I heard that anchovies cannot survive in the bottom of the sea. Although everyone said don't worry about it, that day was my adulthood Today, I wanted to do something different to celebrate!"

"So no matter who appears that day, will you save him?" Alvin came to this conclusion half in a daze, half in frustration.

"Well. Fortunately, I saved you, otherwise I might not be able to realize my celebration ceremony."

Doris' answer without hesitation broke Alvin's heart for a moment, and he realized that he was really just lucky, rather than having something special to be spotted by the mermaid.

Such a calm attitude inevitably made Alvin a little unable to control his curiosity, and wanted to test how far he could ask:

"Have you always lived in the deep sea? I've never seen you before, and you're avoiding humans, uh, did I mean anchovies?"

The black-haired mermaid got a bunch of small clams from nowhere, divided half of them for Alvin to pry open, and pried it open by himself with a stone, and replied casually: "Yes, the clansmen don't like the feeling of the sea layer very much, and they don't like it too much. Love anchovies."

"So you must be careful, and you must not tell me about making friends with me without my permission, or I will lose face." He still did not forget to warn.

"Then why are you staying here?" Alvin couldn't understand this strange phenomenon, and almost blurted out.

Doris paused for a moment, glanced at him quietly with deep emerald eyes, and then replied slowly: "I don't like the seabed without sunlight. It's too quiet and heavy there, I don't like it very much." He Repeating my thoughts, it seems that I really can't find the words to describe it.

Hearing the mermaid's calm tone, Alvin pursed his lips tightly. He remembered his situation and everything he had suffered. He slowed down his prying clams, and couldn't help but speak half of persuasion and half of comfort:

"Then come to land. We have many towns, a variety of goods and shops, clean and spacious roads, and countless beautiful and interesting things. Even if it takes 100 years, it will not be boring. You will like it."

The black-haired mermaid still happily replied, "Yes!"

Perhaps because of talking about this kind of thing, Alvin's attitude towards the mermaid was no longer tense, and gradually became calm and casual.

One person and one fish are like real friends, communicate sincerely, spend most of the day together, see the sun rise and the moon set together, occasionally struggle with trivial things, talk about small troubles, life is It became calm, even with a warmth that Alvin never thought of.

At the same time, Alvin got some unexpected information from Doris after getting along with him these days.For example, the name mermaid is derived from an antus. A long time ago, mermaids were also called sea monsters, and before that there were also names like sea ghosts.

For example, the edible fish in the deep sea are ugly, and the non-ugly fish are poisonous, so the mermaids will look for food in the upper layer, and occasionally see anchovies, but unfortunately most of them are dead.

"You're still the first living anchovy I've ever seen." Doris patted the sea surface with his tail, splashing some water droplets, as if he was playing.

"That's it..." The purple-haired boy didn't know what to say. Looking at the foam that exploded on the surface of the sea, he suddenly remembered the first fairy tale about a mermaid that he had read.

"Doris, do you know the story of the mermaid?"

The black-haired mermaid turned back in doubt: "What is that?"

Alvin raised his lips and told his mermaid friend this story full of childhood memories: "...Finally the mermaid princess jumped into the sea and turned into foam. She has no soul and should not go to heaven, but God is loved by her Moved by her will and enthusiasm, she was promised to go to heaven."

Doris put his hands on his cheeks and listened with relish: "Human beings, what a strange existence. Did you design them in your own image? Then, did she really go to heaven?"

"It's a design. She did go to heaven." Alvin didn't know how to answer, nodded casually, looked at the mermaid boy who was listening carefully, and suddenly felt a little curious, "Do you really have no soul? According to our According to the saying, only those who have a soul can have reincarnation and an afterlife. In the past, there were legends saying that you long for souls, which is very scary."

"Aren't you very clear about this?" The black-haired mermaid looked at him suspiciously, "Aren't anchovies the same as us?"

"Ah, this..." The purple-haired boy felt a little guilty. He concealed a big secret, but he promised to be sincere to Doris.

Confusion and fear switched back and forth on his face, and finally he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, and shouted, "Doris, I'm sorry, I've been keeping something from you."

"What?" Doris tilted his head and poked a crab at his feet.

"I, I'm actually a human being." Alvin said quickly, for fear that he would lose his courage at this moment, "I'm not an anchovy, we're not fish in the first place, we've always lived on land, so we can't Go to the bottom of the sea. I'm sorry for lying to you, I will do whatever you say, please forgive me."

The black-haired mermaid froze in place, ignoring the crab in her hand, like a frozen ice sculpture, before asking softly after a long while: "That is to say, you haven't even had a tail? Not even one?"

"Yes." The purple-haired boy didn't dare to look up.

"..." Doris was silent for a moment, then suddenly got under the water, causing a lot of bubbles to pop up on the surface of the water, Gulu Gulu didn't know what he was doing.

After a while, Alvin heard what he was saying: "It's over, it's over, Alvin doesn't even have a fish tail, how dare he say it! I often show off my tail in front of him, really, really... "

Alvin looked at the sunset in the distance silently, and began to suspect that it was the flushed color of the mermaid's face.

After telling the secret, although it was awkward for a short period of time, it did narrow the distance between them. Now not only Doris can describe the underwater world to his heart's content, but Alvin can also talk about the human world without any scruples. The mermaid legend of the human world.

"Mermaids are the treasures of the ocean, the pearls hidden in the depths of the waves. They are beautiful and luxuriously dressed, and they are the darlings who should have all the beautiful things in the world."

The purple-haired boy held an old book and read it word by word.

"Huh? So in your eyes, do we exist like this?" Doris leaned over curiously, and found that the words were different from the ones they were familiar with.

"Yes, because mermaids do remind people of luxury and beauty."

Alvin looked at the beautiful black-haired mermaid, from the delicate face to the bare skin, to the elegant tail, turned his head silently, and warned: "You must be careful of other humans, or you may be locked up in a strange place." Local. Wouldn’t it be troublesome for you to run out of water?”

"Your ears are red." Doris blinked, reminded, and then nodded, "It's really troublesome to have no water. But it's not a big problem. Tell me about the human world."

The purple-haired boy froze for a moment, and tried to relax: "I, we have many people here, so there are many houses. The roof is the red color of the newborn sun, and the roof is clean white. But this is an ordinary family, a richer family, There will be crystal lamps shining brightly at night, warm and comfortable carpets, soft and spacious sofas, grilled chicken and thoroughly stewed broth will be placed on the table..."

He talked about the castle again: "I have never seen it in the castle, but I heard that there are floors made of gold, walls of crystal, dishes of precious stones, and all kinds of incomparably precious things..."

The black-haired mermaid listened, and lowered her head sadly: "We don't have red roofs and white walls, nor crystal lamps or carpets. Even the fire can't ignite the place where we are, and we can't see anything clearly on the bottom of the sea."

Alvin felt that he might have said something he shouldn't have said, put the book down in a panic, and tried to comfort his friend: "But, but you also have many scenery that humans have never seen before, such as parade fish schools, swarms of lighted jellyfish , colorful corals... In fact, the human ones are really nothing."

However, Doris lowered his head and said nothing, and finally said "I'm going back" in a muffled voice and left with a flick of his tail.

The purple-haired boy looked at the circles of dizzy water and sighed.

Fortunately, the mermaid seemed to regain his spirits the next day, and asked him enthusiastically about many things about human beings, not only food customs, history and culture, military construction, etc. Knowledge.

"Why are you suddenly so interested in human affairs?" Alvin couldn't help asking.

Doris put down the elementary literacy books for humans, turned his head to look around, and whispered: "I want to live in the human world."

"Huh?" Alvin exclaimed, before lowering his voice, "But your tails still have the habit of not leaving the water..."

"It's okay." The black-haired mermaid vowed, with bright emerald green eyes, "There is a way to get ashore. I'll keep this secret first, and I'll tell you later. Take it as a surprise."

"Okay." The purple-haired boy sighed regretfully, without further questioning.

Some time after Doris started studying, Alvin heard in town that someone had caught a mermaid.

He immediately thought of Doris, and hurriedly looked for it. In the center of the crowd, he saw the mermaid locked in the huge water tank.

With its innocent expression, shining tail, and webbed hands, it's a mermaid, but not Doris.

Alvin breathed a sigh of relief, and then watched the soldiers take the mermaid away, feeling depressed.

He came to the beach early, and he was relieved when he saw the mermaid leaning on the reef: "It's good that you're fine."

"Huh? Alvin, what are you talking about." The mermaid cast a puzzled look.

The purple-haired boy quickly recounted what happened in the morning, worried about his friend: "...Is that your clansman? He was caught, and the king will not let him go easily. I don't want you to take risks, but It's still up to you, so... what are you going to do?"

Doris looked at him with clear eyes: "Since Alvin doesn't want me to go, then I won't go. It doesn't matter to him, my people are not such weak creatures."

Alvin heaved a sigh of relief and repeatedly told the mermaid to be careful of human beings. On the other hand, he felt that he was despicable, and even proposed the idea of ​​asking his friends to abandon their clansmen.

"But I only have you as my friend..." He looked at the mermaid who was immersed in studying again, and covered his face in pain.

But this incident that broke the routine was just the beginning. More and more mermaids were discovered, then captured, sent to the palace, and sent to the mansions of nobles.Even some ordinary people secretly raise a mermaid.

The mermaid is no longer a legend, but has become a reality that can be touched.

This made Alvin very flustered. He quickly found Doris and talked about what happened now: "More and more mermaids have been caught! You are very dangerous. The best way is for you to hide back, go back to the deep sea, wait Come back when everything calms down.”

"How many mermaids have been caught now?" Doris asked carefully, as if he hadn't realized the seriousness.

"There are already more than 900 entries, I really can't stay here any longer!" Alvin couldn't help roaring, and then apologized after lowering his mood, "Sorry, I'm just a little, a little scared."

"Don't worry." The black-haired mermaid reassured him gently, "I'll go back as soon as I go. My people will be fine."

Alvin felt that the mermaids had no idea how dirty human means were and how terrible things they could do to those mermaids.It is said that some people have begun to study the possibility of immortality of mermaid meat.

But he didn't dare to say this, he didn't want to destroy the light in the mermaid's eyes, and he didn't want him to hate humans.

So he emphasized again: "Don't linger, go to the safest place, and come back when everything subsides!"

Doris looked at him quietly for a long time before agreeing with a sigh: "You are my friend, so I promise you."

So Alvin watched the mermaid flick its tail and left quickly, finally feeling relieved.

But he didn't see the mermaid lowered his eyes, and muttered: "It's more than 900..."

For a period of time after that, Doris kept his promise and did not appear, but the number of captured mermaids in the kingdom continued unabated.

Every time such news comes, Alvin has to check it with trepidation, and he can feel at ease when he sees that it is not Doris.

In fact, he didn't quite understand why the mermaids who didn't like anchovies in Doris' mouth were caught in such a large number, and why they didn't stop when they found their companions missing, causing more and more losses.

"Is there nothing to eat at the bottom of the sea?" According to the habits of mermaids, he secretly guessed.

In the past one month, more than 2000 mermaids were caught by humans, imprisoned in small water tanks, locked in human homes, and lost their freedom.

Alvin didn't think he was a savior. Although he couldn't bear it, he could only ignore what happened to these mermaids, and prayed that they would find out the problem as soon as possible and not be caught one by one.

Perhaps the prayers had worked.

Three days later, no more mermaids were caught, and the sailors standing on the boat sighed regretfully, complaining that the voyage was not smooth, saying that maybe all the mermaids had been caught.

And Alvin thinks maybe the mermaids are finally hiding.

That way, maybe he'd be able to see Doris again in a month's time.

With such expectation, he fell into a deep sleep.

On a dark, moonless night, after all human beings had fallen asleep, the mermaid, who had kept to herself for two months, quietly opened her eyes, wagged her tail, and made the sound of splashing water, which was quickly covered by a louder noise.

On the beach surrounding the kingdom, huge waves uncharacteristically set off, raised a rain-like water curtain, and rushed towards the kingdom aggressively, as if opening a ferocious mouth, about to swallow this place.

Alvin woke up amidst the noise, the sky in front of him was red, as if the sun had just risen, but the ear-piercing scream woke him up and made him understand that it was not the sun, but a terrible flame!

He looked up in astonishment, and saw countless people running on the street, behind him was a handsome and evil man with long blue nails chasing them.

Blue nails!

Somehow, Alvin realized that those who were chasing and killing were not real people, but mermaids in the water tank during the day!

what happened?Why did they take human form?

That's not a fish tail, but a real human leg!

Chaotic thoughts swirled in his mind, and before he had time to think about it, he heard a "bang", and someone broke in.

The blue-haired mermaid he had seen during the day smiled gently at him, stretching out weird nails, the edges of which were so sharp that they reflected his frightened face.

Alvin immediately climbed over the window and ran away without daring to turn his head.

He remembered what Doris had always said that the clansmen were fine, and subconsciously ran to the most frequented road, to the beach.And the blue mermaid followed him leisurely, like a cat catching a mouse.

With more and more rapid breathing, he saw a familiar black-haired figure beside the reef.

"Do, Doris!" He ran very fast and called out his friend's name.

The mermaid who turned her head following the voice smiled slightly at him: "Alvin, I'm just looking for you!"

Alvin couldn't respond immediately, and the surprise of seeing his friends was mostly diluted by the critical situation. He stood still and panted for a long time before he calmed down and told Doris about the situation, wondering why the mermaids suddenly rioted, what happened? Only then can other people be saved.

But I didn't expect the black-haired mermaid to tilt her head, and said innocently: "What's wrong? I made the people of the tribe start to act, what's wrong?"

"You, why did you do such a thing?" Alvin stuttered in astonishment, completely disbelieving this fact.

"Huh?" The mermaid tilted her head, her clear eyes filled with confusion, "Is this what you told me?"

"When did I..." Instigate you to destroy our country? !

The human boy didn't finish his sentence, because the seemingly gentle mermaid in front of him was looking at him steadily.The round pupils in the dark green pupils slowly shrank, turning into elongated and eerie diamond shapes.

"You said it," he repeated. "You said that there are many, many things in the human world that mermaids have never seen before. They are radiant, exquisite and luxurious."

"Even so, I never let you treat our country like this!" Human beings overcame the fear that rose from nowhere in their hearts, and couldn't help scolding loudly.

"But you also said it. The mermaid is the darling of the world, the treasure under the sea, and should enjoy all the good things, right?"

The pair of eyes that once made him feel innocent have not changed at all, they are still beautiful and clean, but it makes him feel that coldness and indifference are emerging there.

"In that case, what's wrong with us getting all of this?"

The mermaid who single-handedly led the war and destroyed the city asked back as a matter of course.

Behind him, thousands of mermaids with the same eyes emerged from the water.The blue-haired mermaid who rushed over also stood still in the distance.

Similar innocence and ignorance, the same ruthlessness and cruelty.

Under the extreme collapse, he heard the black-haired mermaid's kind answer:

"By the way, I forgot to tell you the question I asked you earlier."

"It's true that mermaids don't have souls, and we won't have reincarnation. It's also true that mermaids long for souls—it's just that we don't need our own souls, we long for the souls of others."

Riding on the waves, Doris was lifted up in front of him, stared at him, and stretched out his hands to him as if to hug him.

But Alvin only felt a flash of white light in front of his eyes, a pain in his chest, and something hot was gone.

Blood was flowing from the bright red thing, on the cold white palm of the black-haired mermaid.

He threw the heart at the fish's tail, and the bright red light passed, and the silver fish's tail disappeared, replaced by human legs, straight and slender, with rounded toes.

In a daze, he heard the voice of the mermaid, unable to distinguish his emotions: "This is the way to go ashore, and you told me."

Alvin took one last look at the black-haired mermaid, moved his lips, but fell down quickly without making any sound.

He closed his eyes, forever.

Seeing his fallen black-haired mermaid, he was stunned for a long time, touched his chest, and always felt that there was an extra heart, but he frowned, let his tribe take over the city first, and subconsciously used his unskilled legs to stagger to Al Wen's side.

"Alvin?"

Doris waited for a while, without waiting for the expected reaction, and shook his head: "That's right. Humans only have one heart, and if you lose it, you die."

"If you die, you won't be here, and you won't respond to me."

He murmured, and staggered towards the town, towards the world he had taken.

In the end, some of the human beings here died under the hands of the mermaids, and the other part fled in all directions without knowing where they went. But there is no doubt that the mermaids got the house and utensils they had never seen before, the opportunity to live on land, and the ability to live with the sun. companion's life.

Doris looked blankly at the roofs, walls, crystal lamps, and carpets that had been emphatically described around him... suddenly felt that they didn't look special.

"Maybe it's not good enough here." He whispered, walking towards the king's castle.

Here, as Alvin said, there are luxurious floors, exquisite and beautiful utensils everywhere, luxurious clothes and accessories... But Doris is still not happy.

"I don't think this place is as good as what Alvin said." He said to himself, suddenly a little angry, "He lied to me! I have to settle the score with him."

After all, he rushed back to the beach where Alvin was at a faster and more eager speed than when he came.

Soon Doris found Alvin still lying on the ground.

The purple-haired boy quietly closed his eyes, his clothes and hair were wet by the waves, but he was silent and did not respond to anything.

"Alvin, I've seen it. It's not as good as what you described. No, it's not good at all!" The black-haired boy stood in front of him and complained angrily.

"The lighting is very dim, the crystal looks gray, and the red roof is not good-looking at all. Those steaming foods taste bitter and sour in the mouth, and some are astringent. They are not delicious at all!"

"Alvin, the sun is so annoying today, it makes people uncomfortable. I feel cold all over, and feel worse than being at the bottom of the sea. It seems that something has been put into my heart."

"It's hard to walk on these legs, and the other clansmen are fine, but every step I take is like walking on the edge of a knife, and transparent drops of water fall from my eyes. Are these tears? Ah, then I can answer you before The problem is that the tears of the mermaid are not pearls, they are the annoying part."

"Alvin, it's so boring here. I want to see the glowing snow-capped mountains and the vast desert you mentioned, but no one in that kingdom knows where it is. You should know, right? You know so many things, I think Let you take me to have a look."

"Alvin..."

"Alvin..."

"Alvin, why didn't you answer me?"

The black-haired mermaid stopped chattering, sat down slowly, hugged her legs, lowered her head, and huddled into an uneasy ball: "Alvin, why did this world suddenly become so boring. Mermaids are not as boring as humans. Rich feelings, why am I in so much pain."

"The dark seabed, the bright town, the cheerful singing, the warm sunshine, everything doesn't matter anymore."

"Alvin, you know so many mermaid stories, why didn't you tell me."

"What is this feeling of still sleeping in the deep sea? I have come to the world of the sun, but I feel so uncomfortable."

"You fulfill the last agreement, talk to me, okay?"

No one answered. On the empty beach, the black-haired boy looked blankly at the ocean, tears streaming down his face unconsciously.
