Chapter 773 Nieride 8
After breakfast.
William dressed up like a colorful butterfly and drove his car to the front of the aquarium.
Noticing Fu Anan's gaze, he explained, "This is the aquarium that the police officer recommended yesterday. As for diving, can we go there in a few days?"
This isn't about being persuaded, it's about being afraid.
Although he is an adult male, it is understandable that he is afraid of dead people and corpses.
As long as he pays, we can go anywhere.

Inside the aquarium
A large number of marine life swim within the glass.
The most attractive one is the pavilion in the middle, which contains several mermaids of different colors.
Of course, these mermaids are all humans in disguise.
They swim lightly underwater, spit out round and heart-shaped bubbles, and interact with various creatures in the water.
There are so many people gathered in front of here, it is quite eye-catching.
"Beta, the scenery here is beautiful, isn't it?"
William, who was standing behind him, said, "I heard that when this aquarium was built, the designers deliberately designed it to connect to the sea. In the innermost part, there's a sixty-meter-long glass bridge leading to the seabed."
"oh."
Fu Anan listened to him,
Seeing that she seemed quite interested, William continued, "It is said that this designer is obsessed with mermaids. He has lived in Pearl Island all his life, and his dream is to see real mermaids.
The name of the cruise ship we were on was Nereid, which also means mermaid."
Mermaid?
The sea, pearls, and the recurring mermaid legend...
Fu Anan looked at the mermaid actors behind the glass, but was actually in a daze.
Meanwhile, the mermaids in the sea had finished their performance. As they were coming up to breathe, a black object floated in the water.
"Uncle, what is that?"
A child's crisp voice sounded, pointing in a direction.
Upon hearing this, Fu Anan looked in the direction he pointed.
The thing in the water was fat and pitch black, a bit like an inflated oval black balloon. Wherever it was, the fish around it all scattered and swam away.
The creature floated towards the mermaids who hadn't yet boarded it. The next moment, the staff members dressed as mermaids in the water fled in panic. The sight of the creature caused quite a commotion.
After half a day of salvaging, the thing was brought up.
They...found the dead mermaid!
No, I should say Lioness is better.
The whole body is clearly a sea lion, except for the face. It is still in the shape of a sea lion, but has a pair of eyes and a mouth that look very much like a human.
She doesn't have the graceful appearance of the mermaid in the legend, but instead exudes a sense of weirdness.
Soon, the mermaid was dragged away, but the mermaid's name even attracted local newspapers and news stations to come.
The aquarium is even more lively.
Photos of various mermaids spread online. People were more excited and curious than afraid, eager to see the mermaids appearing in the aquarium.

"Beta, I'm sorry for letting you see such a horrible thing."
William said apologetically.
"No, I feel fine. That little thing is quite unique."
Fu Anan watched him retreating...
"Are you scared?"
"I, I, I'm... fine."
William shook his head, barely maintaining his masculinity at such times.
"Well, I'm afraid, that's all. There's nothing shameful about it."
Fu Anan comforted him, "Everyone has a first time."
Since she realized she had to rely on others for food, her attitude gradually became friendly and righteous. "We are all adults now, we should be braver."
