[Spirit of Halberd] grows inward

?08. The eighth mermaid

Yishihui didn't know how to face Selena after knowing the truth.

When I brought her back, it was only because Selena saved him with her own sea pearl that he couldn't go back to the sea. Because of emotion and reason, Yishihui couldn't abandon her.And now, speaking of it, Selena who killed someone...is it really suitable to stay in this human world?

Selena has been targeted by the police, and if she continues like this, she will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being arrested.But according to Selena's inhuman physique and ability... Isshiki is not sure whether human weapons are really effective against Selina, or in other words, he is not sure whether humans can subdue Selina.There are too many unknowns and too many question marks on her body.

Although Selena has already confessed everything to Yishihui, it is clear that she did not intend to hide these things from him from the beginning, but chose not to tell him so as not to disturb him.As everyone knows, it is this kind of behavior that makes Yisehui feel more uncomfortable, and the feeling of being betrayed is always haunting her heart, tormenting Yisehui's nerves.

"Mr. Isshiki thinks that I kill people, I can't deny it, but in my own words, I would call it 'eating'," said Selena, who was sitting across from Isshihui, smiling as sweetly as before , and the brows and eyes were imbued with the calmness of the world, "Just like humans eat, I also need to eat a certain amount of food to ensure that my stomach will not be hungry."

Yisehui couldn't understand: "You usually eat with me, isn't that enough?"

"Dinner?" Selena giggled as if she heard some very funny joke, "No, no, that's for you guys. As a mermaid, my favorite food is fish—of course, that's When I was in the sea, because the sea has the most fish. When you move my living environment to the land, my staple food becomes the master of the land: human beings.”

"Since eating other foods can also satisfy your hunger, why would you risk being discovered to kill someone?" Yi Sehui's chest heaved violently.

"This question is as boring and idiotic as asking 'since humans can eat enough to eat, why do they still eat vegetables'," said Selena, resting her chin on her flexed fingers, blinking her eyes, with a very sly look, "Nutrition is taken in many ways, Mr. Isshiki will understand. Besides, the human body is the most delicious food in the world..."

Speaking of this, Selena showed an intoxicated expression on her face, her tongue disobediently licked her lower lip, and her blurred eyes were full of enchanting brilliance.

"—Of course, Mr. Isshiki, who is a chef, will not understand this."

Yisehui realizes that her worldview is completely different from Selena's——what Selena takes for granted, Yisehui finds it incomprehensible; Yisehui thinks it should be such a thing, but is completely overthrown by Selena with sharp language.The deep sea and the land are not only separated by boundless sea water, but also an insurmountable conceptual gap.

Just as humans cannot breathe freely in water, air is deadly to fish.

The difference in the way of life alone is enough to see the difference in their concepts.

Yishihui fell into a rare silence, a ball of paste stuck in his head, sticking all the thoughts that were floating around.It was clear that there were thousands of words to say, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that under the gaze of Selena's beautiful eyes, any words were powerless.He was powerless to refute Selena's words, unable to correct her strange point of view, because it was undeniable that he felt that what Selena said made sense.

At this time, it was Selena who explained thoughtfully: "Miss Shizuko's voice is very nice, so I ate her neck and gained the ability to speak."

do not talk.

"Mr. Minamoto's tongue is famous for his gourmet tongue, so I ate his tongue in order to find out the shortcomings of Mr. Isshiki's cooking."

do not talk……

"Miss Ito, the makeup is very powerful. I ate her face in the hope that I could become more beautiful than her."

do not talk!

"And today, I ate the hands of a chef because the dishes he cooked were better than Mr. Isshiki's."

do not talk--

I kept struggling and roaring in my heart, but the strength in my body seemed to be sucked away. I couldn't do any actions or words that I should have. I could only slump on the sofa and listen to Celine. Hearing Na's eloquent narration, I felt chills all over my body.

Not only the content of what Selena said, but also the indifferent, delicious aftertaste on Selena's face when she said these words, as if she was telling a story that had nothing to do with her. It can even be called The joyful expression... All these made Yishihui feel the deep-rooted fear in his heart.

It was as if an invisible hand had strangled his throat, and the air he depended on suddenly became thin and precious.

Seeing Selena like this, Yishihui's original impression of her disappeared, and only the words "scary" and "deceptive" remained on her body.

Cold sweat drenched the clothes on the back, and at the end of the tension, Yisehui seemed a little bit exhausted, as if completely giving up, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes, and asked Selina: "Now, do you want I, who knows this secret, eat it too?"

It's okay, come on, since I pulled you into this world, I should bear the consequences.

If eating me would end your hunger, your sin, your killing, then I would sacrifice my body for you.

Closing his eyes, Yishihui quietly waited for the coming of death.There was a pleasant smell of the ocean coming from her side, which was the mark left by the sea on Selena's body. The originally relaxing smell now smelled like hell.The soft body was pressed against Yisehui's side, Selena held Yisehui's face, put her lips to Yisehui's ear, and her voice was as low as a cello:

"No, I won't eat Mr. Isshiki, because of me," the ear was licked, and the tingling sensation with electric current made Yishihui tremble involuntarily, and the last few syllables were caught by Sai Linna bit her teeth, "Favorite..."

"Ah Hui is gone."

****

Ah Hui?

The inexplicable name made Yisehui a little confused.Although Selena made it clear that she would not eat Yishihui, she still refused to stop cannibalism. After all, in her opinion, eating with humans was the same reason, and there was nothing wrong with it.It is absolutely impossible to continue to let Selena do nothing like this. The police will soon find out that Selena killed the person, and no one can predict what will happen then.

Yisehui had to solve this trouble by himself.

Since Selena came from the deep sea, the best way at present is to send Selena back to the sea before things get serious.Pushing it down further, Selina will definitely not want to take out the sea pearl in Yishihui's body, because this will lead to Yishihui's death.So what's the next step?

Yishihui thought about it for most of the night, and when it was daylight, he had already packed his suitcase and got dressed.He believes that there must be other ways for Selena to return to the sea safely to escape this seductive land world, return to where she should go, and continue to be her deep-sea girl.From now on, he will be his cook and she will be her mermaid, which has nothing to do with her anymore.

For this goal, Yisehui felt that she had to go to the seaside—the place where wonderful stories often happened, and the older generation lived there for decades, almost devoting their lives to the sea.Similarly, while the salty sea breeze left dimples on their faces, they also kept many bizarre stories about the sea in their hearts.

Yisehui just wanted to find clues from these stories that would allow Selena to go back.

Hastily ate some bread for breakfast, and Isshi Hui had already packed up and planned to set off before dawn.Before leaving, he looked back at Selena's closed door, frowning and looking away.He felt a little embarrassed: he had clearly seen Selena's true face, but he still cared and paid attention to her because of his past habits. Such behavior made him feel a little unreasonable.

Resolutely opened the door of the room, and for some reason, Isshihui's address came out of Selena's ears again.

——A Hui.

He felt vaguely familiar, as if at a certain time and place, someone had called him in such a tone.

who is it?

Yishihui frowned, and he finally shook his head after failing to read the memory, leaving such insignificant things behind.

****

Coming to the beach again, Yisehui's mood is no longer as relaxed as last time. The sudden change and Selena's words beyond his acceptance have brought him a lot of shock. Linna turned into a murderer in the blink of an eye, no one could accept it, let alone Selena said that she was just eating.

What a perfect reason, quite emboldened.

But is it the right thing to treat humans as their own food?If you question Selina in this way, she will probably use her eloquence to say a lot of truths and silence Yishihui: "Humans can eat chicken, duck, fish, vegetables and fruits, so is it right before eating?" I have also considered whether the food itself is willing or not? You are for survival, and I am for survival. You can criticize me from the perspective of human morality, so can I also criticize human cruelty from the perspective of food? Excessive?"

"For me, who can almost only rely on human beings to maintain my life, I seem to be much kinder than human beings who eat everything."

"Human beings are the biggest devils in the world. Normal diets cannot satisfy some people's desires. Human beings begin to pursue the ultimate delicacy—from fields to oceans, from sky to forests, anything can be used as ingredients. Every year Tons of marine life have been slaughtered, illegally and brutally hunted, just to satisfy the temporary satisfaction of human beings."

"Do you think human beings are so noble compared to me?"

Selina's high-pitched questioning pierced Yisehui's eardrums: "There are even people who have eaten all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, and even bought human placenta at a high price. Is this the human nature you want to talk to me about? "

I wanted to refute, but my voice was swallowed and released; I wanted to stand up and overwhelm Selena with my own momentum, but found that I couldn't stand up at all; I wanted to use evidence to prove that what Selena said was wrong, Isshiki Hui But I have to admit that what Selena said are hard facts, bloody facts that people can't look directly at.

Selena's eyes are pure, but there is a world that Yishihui can't see in her eyes.

Selena's tone was full of complex emotions such as resentment, pain, sarcasm, sadness, despair, etc. After being distorted, the pleasant voice became as sharp as fingernails across a blackboard.Every time Yisehui sees bloody pictures, stories, and news, he feels pain in his eye sockets. It comes from deep in his heart's deep disgust for human malice and pity for dead animals.

This kind of emotion can't last long at all. If the human race or itself is not hurt, almost no one will remember this event and such emotion for a long time-even though you know that the emotion you felt at that time was So profound and so unforgettable, but you can still laugh and chat loudly with your friends when you turn around.

Can you see clearly, this sad and hopeless world?

The dark sea smelled like a storm was coming, the sky gradually sank, and there was no ray of sunshine.The sea level roared violently, very much like the memory of Selina when she questioned him sharply. It seemed that it wanted to drive away the uninvited guests of this land—perhaps from the very beginning, the deep sea did not welcome land. Humans break into their own world.

Therefore, there will be waves and storms that will swallow up human beings, and they will sleep peacefully in the arms of the ocean forever.

White gulls fly sadly low over the sea, making low, heartrending calls.Looking around, Haixian stared at Yishihui silently, with a message he couldn't understand in his eyes.Under the blowing of the sea breeze, it seems that there are too many worries that one person cannot bear, and the eye sockets will soon become red, and when the tears roll down, they will flow into the deep sea together with the secrets in their hearts.

Yisehui just dragged the suitcase and stood by the sea in a daze.

He seemed to be able to recall where he saw Selena for the first time. Selena's beautiful body, sitting on the reef and singing to the morning light, looked so white and flawless. The first impression determined Yisekhui's attitude towards Selena. Thoughts after that—maybe from the very first sight, Yishihui thought she was an angel who strayed into the deep sea.

But he didn't think she was just a mermaid girl polluted by the deep sea.

The huge contrast made Yisehui unacceptable at all. It felt like a girl who had been in love for a long time suddenly told you that she actually liked a woman and that she only dated him because of a bet.

Not only do you have to swallow this hard-to-eat bitter fruit, but you also have to squeeze out a smile to wish them happiness, otherwise you are a narrow-minded villain.

While he was in a daze, the waves had already risen up, and they rushed to Yisehui's feet one after another, the momentum made Yisehui a little speechless.In the distance came an old voice that was almost inaudible by the wind: "Young man! Don't stand there! It's dangerous!"

Yishihui looked at the prestige, with a startled expression: "Grandma Matsui?"
