He and It

Through this pain, Rapace was finally able to locate the location of his soul mate. Before the first ray of morning light shed the smoke-like golden light, Rapace resolutely made a decision.

Whether out of tradition or out of consideration for himself, he needs to find his soul mate. The principle followed in the deep sea is that whoever dares to bare his teeth at the mermaid, the mermaid will tear his skull apart; whoever dares to reach out to the mermaid, the mermaid will plunder his flesh and blood. No one can break this iron law.

In this way, full of hatred and ferocity, Rapace embarked on a searching expedition, just to bring back what belonged to him.

Now, he woke up from the coma caused by the injury. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar prison.

Maybe something like this happened to his soulmate? Then the little human should know something.

Rapace stared at the person in front of him, waiting patiently for his reply.

Jiang Mian was dumbfounded.

The sweet and clear sound echoed, like a meandering flute sound, and the mermaid was actually talking to him!

"I..." he stuttered, "I don't understand... what you said."

The gloves were stained with fish blood, and he hurriedly gestured with his fingers, "Your language, I -"

The water was sparkling, and Rapace's ear fins flicked a few times, oh, okay, invalid communication.

However, he was not disappointed. How old are humans? So thin, slender and small, he still looks like a cub.

You're so lucky, cub, you have a great voice and your little movements are cute... Although there are no webs between your fingers, it's a bit weird to see them move in such a flexible way.

Yeah, but still cute...

Your IQ is average for mainland Chinese. Speaking underwater is difficult for you, isn't it?

"Continue to communicate with it!" the experimental station's instructions became excited, "tempt it to send out more signals!"

Jiang Mian really felt like there was a wolf in front of him and a tiger behind him. He looked at the mermaid's deep and evil face, and it was hard to imagine how such a creature from the mythical age could appear in the world of ordinary people.

"What you said..." Jiang Mian pointed awkwardly at his lips with his thin white index finger, then put it on his ear and shook his head, "I don't understand."

Rapace suddenly flicked his fish tail and pulled it upward to a height of more than one meter. The heavy alloy shackles hit the bottom of the water, making a sound like muffled thunder. Jiang Mian was startled, and the heavily armed guards below were also on guard.

But Rapace didn't do anything. He just looked at Jiang Mian through the feeding port, pretending to be curious, and the gill patterns on both sides lightly closed.

Mermaids are experts at reading body language, a skill commonly used on the battlefield. If they are willing, mermaids can even read the meaning of any deaf-mute person without having been exposed to sign language. However, Rapace had no intention of showing off. He was observing with interest - or rather watching, the bewildered behavior of humans.

[What's your name, human? 】

Jiang Mian looked into his eyes. Through the blurred and swaying ripples, the mermaid's gaze was so focused that it made people palpitate. He hesitated for a moment, sat on the ground, and asked softly: "What's your name? I think, 'Rapper' Si' probably isn't your real name."

Like him, merfolk are unable to understand human language. Of course, he didn't need Rapace to understand. All he needed to do was make as many noises as possible to attract the fish's attention.

Rapace tilted his head. In such a short period of time, humans had actually calmed down. Just now, he looked anxious, anxious, amazed, a little afraid...and sad. These emotions were mixed in every move he made. Now, he just looks a little helpless, a little depressed, and more gentle, like windless water, undulating peacefully around the reef.

He was talking to himself carefully, speaking softly, but not in a fearful way, but...

Rapace's ear fins were itchy, and he couldn't help but tremble, feeling a strange sensation.

The human attitude he had only seen in the elders facing the cubs, it was more like a protective gesture. No older mermaid had dared to talk to Rapace like that since he was over two yards long.

[You protect me, why? 】 Rapace asked, despite the language barrier, he was basically talking to himself, "Can't you see that I'm much older than you?" 】

"'Rapace', this name is...we gave it to you, and what did your companions call you?"

Jiang Mian knew that he was talking like a chicken and a duck, and there was a whole experimental station surrounding him listening carefully to their conversation, but he really couldn't help it.

Humans are creatures that need to communicate with the outside world. In the three months after Jiang Pingyang left, his original small but stable social chain was completely broken. Except for Ted, only a few people were willing to treat him with an indiscriminate attitude.

People can endure long periods of loneliness, but people cannot endure long periods of isolation. Once Fabian reveals his intention to liquidate, his colleagues who used to smile kindly are more sensitive than any animal that is good at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. In addition to books, Jiang Mian needs someone to talk to who won't use harsh words, cynicism, or indifferent rejection, even if the other person is just a mermaid who can't communicate effectively.

He stared at Jiang Mian, his eyes so focused... Jiang Mian couldn't refuse this temptation.

"Damn it, have you seen it?" A researcher at the experimental station lowered his voice, "The way it looked at him was like looking at a damn lover."

"It's more like looking at a damn prey." The person next to him retorted, "It's just a beast, a terrible beast. No tiger, lion or leopard is as cruel as it. Stop your imagination."

[Maybe it’s because I’m wearing shackles and my injuries haven’t healed? 】 Rapace speculated lazily, the sound wave was like a short song, 【Obviously, the land people have full confidence in the cage, right? 】

Jiang Mian said: "So, why did you suddenly swim up? Because you wanted to observe me?"
