MTL - Mermaid Effect-Chapter 6

Four eyes.

Rand saw four eyes.

The fish in the kettle did not die. At the moment when Rand was close to the bottle, it suddenly shook his body. The four eyes were like some kind of living creature independent of the fish. The bones trembled and turned to Rand. The edge of the pupil with a complex color of fluorescence glides through a line of red light. The seawater infiltrating the whole fish is covered with light blue fluorescent particles, and some translucent tentacle layers are layered and bonded to the wall of the bottle.

The fish opened his mouth at Rand, and some tiny hairy teeth were exposed, blocking the suction cup on the back side of the mouth.

"boom--"

The horror of that moment forced Rand to let go of his hand involuntarily, and the kettle fell to the ground.

The sea inside was smashed out, and some splashed on Rand's instep.

The gray carpet became black after being stained with water, and the water stains were as wide as the ghosts, and a strong suffocation filled the room.

Is the sea water so embarrassing?

Rand had a question in his mind, but soon his thoughts were interrupted.

The fish jumped out of the bottle, bounced **** the wet carpet, and its tail slammed the floor six. Rand made a stun, and when his eyes fell on the fish again, he realized that there were no four eyes at all - it was just a pattern on the fish.

Rand didn't realize that he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. His shoulders relaxed, and it was only then that he found his heartbeat very fast.

It was a bit silly - Rand muttered and felt a little embarrassed. Rand admits that he is really scared by this most primitive creature camouflage.

The wound on the tail seemed to be better, and it was no longer like the red muscles seen by Rand, a white film covering its wounds.

During this short period of time when Rand was in a hurry, the fish had stopped bouncing. It was lying weakly on the ground, his tail twitching slightly, and his mouth was one by one.

Rand returned, and he rushed to the kitchen, trying to find a salad pot filled with water and running to the living room. However, at the moment when his fingertips were about to touch the fish, he immediately remembered that it was a sea fish, so he had to rush back, crushing some sea salt and throwing it into the water.

God knows how to raise a sea fish, Rand thinks when mixing the salt water in the salad pot.

What is certain is that the water needed to raise saltwater fish is definitely not as simple as adding salt to fresh water. So, in fact, Rand had no hope for the survival of this fish. He picked up the fish - its body was much heavier than the visual one, and the surface had a strange touch, like velvet or velvet. Anyway, it is not the slippery fish should have, and it feels warm to the touch.

Rand instinctively fought a chill, and he quickly threw the fish into the salad pot.

The fish sank to the bottom of the basin, and Rand felt it might be dead. But after a while, the fish tried to swim slowly.

To be honest, Rand felt that the fish was a bit weird. He frowned and poured some of the seawater left in the kettle into the basin, trying to make some makeovers in vain.

He found some extremely small scales in the water in the kettle. The scales were very transparent, but they reflected a faint blue light when illuminated by a certain angle of light. Rand noticed that there were many traces of scales falling off the wound of the fish.

Maybe it was the discomfort in the kettle that made the fish fall off some scales. Rand sees the blue thing is probably the illusion caused by these scales.

Rand shrugged his shoulders. He lifted the salad pot and placed it on the island table. The light of the kitchen fell on the back of the fish through the water, and the neon light on the surface of the mother-of-pearl writhed on the gray body of the fish.

Rand looked at the fish uncontrollably for a while. On the reef he felt it was just a dull fish, but now it seems that it is not so ugly, he thought. Although Rand felt a little regret, he really didn't know how to raise a strange sea fish. Maybe when he woke up from the bed the next day, the fish had already died from the "sea water" he had prepared. . Rand felt a little annoyed. He really didn't know what he thought at the time. From the current situation, perhaps the fish was left there, and its survival rate would be higher.

"No matter what, man," he said, bowing his head to the fish. "I hope you can get better soon."

The fish swam in a circle in the salad pot, its glass-like eyes, and the circular markings on the back of the eyes were like looking at Rand.

Rand reached out and knocked on the salad pot. The stainless steel basin made a dull sound of water, and the fish licked its tail. At least it seemed normal now.

Rand left the kitchen and began to pick up the carpet.

"This is really a good day."

Rand said to himself.

The whole room was still filled with that smell. Rand smoked his nose. He felt that he might have had some problems, because after smelling this smell for a long time, he felt that the thick smell seemed like fermentation. There is a kind of sweet and fragrant smell that is almost sticky.

He dipped the water from the carpet with a paper towel, sprayed some freshener, and finally dried the surface of the carpet with a hair dryer. While he was doing these things, he could occasionally hear the sound of the fish when he turned around in the salad pot.

The salad pot is too small for the fish, maybe he should buy a fish tank.

- This is the last thought of Rand Sifus before going to sleep that night.

in the dark. The clock is ticking away.

The sea bream that had already faded in the room suddenly became thick again. Just like what Rand saw before going to sleep, the fish still swims slowly in a circle in the salad pot, but the difference is that the blue flicker appears on the edge of each scale on the body. Rand believes that it is the middle of the circular pattern of the body pattern, and the red eyeball rotates behind the transparent film.

A gray bauble - a furry skin, a slender tail, four small claws - a mouse, appeared in the kitchen.

Rand had always been a clumsy person. When he searched for the salad pot and sea salt, the prepared breakfast cereal was taken out of the cupboard by him and then piled up on the cooking table.

The mouse was attracted. It cleverly climbed onto the cooking table and concentrated on the wrapper of the cereal, but it was definitely not daring. From a distant place, the sound of the car rushed from the distant place. Stopped, bearded forward, and focused on the surrounding environment.

The smell has become more intense.

A layer of blue fluorescence emerges from the edge of the salad pot.

The rat's beard was shaking and it seemed to feel something. Soon, it gave up the food on his lips, and after a short pause it slammed towards the edge of the table.

A slender tentacle came out and it penetrated the mouse's eyes directly.

The body of the mouse slammed on the table, and the body was like an empty leather bag. Slender, fluorescent things slowly came out from the edge of the salad pot, and its body was as soft as it was on the body of the mouse.

After a while, it slowly climbed back to the salad pot.

The tabletop of the cooking table is empty and unusually clean. 2k novel reading network
