Soon, after Dicken pretended to be drugged, I was pulled out of a fishing net. They seemed to be under the impression that sedatives would be wasted on a frail human such as myself, and simply kept one gun aimed at my head. I was utterly embarrassed even as I was dragged out of the fishing net—I was only scantily dressed in several pieces of rags, and not covered anywhere else, not to mention that there were traces of my radical lovemaking with Dicken. Unsurprisingly, the soldiers began to whistle crazily at me in the next instant and studied me lecherously. If they weren’t disciplined enough, they would have been rushing to touch me!Nonetheless, I heard footsteps running straight for me, and I turned to find Mary rushing out from behind the crowd and draping a jacket over me. As I swiftly covered myself, the people behind slowly approached me, with Bob in the lead. Several scientists were following him, and he frowned in disapproval when he saw Mary’s kindness towards me.Mary nerv

Mary turned back towards me then and continued, “However, I have a bad feeling… I had a nightmare that night, where a ship was ablaze, the crew lay dead all over the place and blood splattered the deck… It was a scene from hell but it looked so real. It made me very scared.” Even as she raised her twitching eyelids, her voice quivered as she continued, “When I saw you again, there was a look in your eyes that told me that you could decipher my dream. Is that really the case, Miss Linda?”I stayed silent for seconds as I organized my own thoughts, before saying quietly, “I know you won’t believe me, but those dreams are all visions of your future in another dimension. You could interpret it as your past life, and if you don’t try to change your fate in this life, everything in your dream would happen again, and that nightmare would be yours and Asura’s future. In fact, I’ve seen your end with him with my own eyes.”“Asura? You actually know the name I gave him… no other person should

The further we ventured within the tunnel, the clearer the screams could be heard—it meant that Bob’s lab was getting closer, and I couldn’t help holding my breath at the thought. We turned into another corner then and arrived at a door, dangling with translucent curtains caked in crimson, and I could see something resembling a surgical table through the curtains.Mary and I both started to tiptoe, and while I held my hammer to my side, Mary unsheathed her katana. Using the tip of her blade, she carefully lifted the curtains, and my eyes instantly turned bloodshot from the strong scent of blood. I almost fainted immediately from the horrors inside the lab, and my stomach was churning even after I came to my senses, whereas Mary was standing beside me, holding herself against the wall as she retched.There were several dissected merpeople corpses laid out in a row over the surgical table. There were mermaids and mermen, but all of them had their eyes gouged out, their belly sliced thr

“Dicken, don’t misunderstand! He’s hurt, and I’m just treating him!” I promptly explained as I pushed myself up, and wrapped my hands around Dicken’s thick, powerful tail and pulled him backwards. Be that as it may, Dicken was clearly overcome with rage right then, not to mention he had always been violently possessive. This was really bad!To make things worse, my efforts to stop him failed and Dicken’s tail coiled around me instead, pulling me behind himself as if he was protecting a calf, keeping me away from Asura. However, he would definitely kill Asura if I didn’t stop him, and after looking around, I grabbed ahold of the nearest tree trunk albeit with much difficult, and freed myself from Dicken’s tail ever so slightly. Nonetheless, I was just about to escape up the tree when I slammed into it instead since I was pulling too hard, knocking myself dizzy and almost fainting right there. Still, it was fortunate that my movement had stopped Dicken from continuing to strangle Asur

“Don’t be like that, Dicken. He just needs our help—you’re too paranoid.”I held Dicken’s shoulder, only realizing then that all his muscles were stiffened like steel and would burst out with frightening strength at any instant. Damn it! I honestly couldn’t understand why Dicken could be so hostile towards Asura when he was already maimed, and didn’t he just check if Asura had laid his hands on me? It would be bad if Dicken were to lose control and they started fighting too, and so I wrapped my hands around Dicken’s muscular body, my fingers gently stroking his chest in hopes that it would calm his nerves. Perhaps what I did worked too, since Dicken didn’t do anything else, although Asura suddenly mustered his courage and approached us. The shadows cast by the flames beneath the trees streaked past Asura, reflecting the eye-catching luster of his purple tail. He paused and looked up at Dicken as if he refused to back down, which left me suspecting that he had just been too wounded t
