The announcer continued to calmly broadcast the news from the East China Sea Fourth District with clear and standard pronunciation, the loud noise echoing in the otherwise quiet and mysterious bar.
The mermaids passing by outside the bar heard the sounds coming from there and couldn't help but admire the bar owner's unique taste.
—Playing the news so loudly in a bar, this owner must really love mermaids.
Inside the bar, the mermaids, gathered in various poses in front of the projection, stood there quietly for a long time. Meanwhile, a fan, who had been sleeping soundly next door but was suddenly awakened by the bar's terrifying sound waves, also rushed over. She floated tinyly on the water, almost invisible to the naked eye.
Yin Chen, with his long, silver-gray hair, had been staring blankly at the microphone for a long time.
Time seemed to stand still inside the bar. The fleeting figures and sounds projected on the mirage were like a dream, leaving the mermaids bewildered.
Suddenly, Leng Xiang uttered a single word: "Noisy."
His cold voice broke the frozen atmosphere in the room. Jiu Li suddenly realized that he hadn't breathed for a long time. He gasped for breath, and a suffocating pain shot through his chest, making him feel very uncomfortable.
He grabbed Jiu Xiao's hand and exclaimed excitedly, "Brother! It's Xiao Xun! I remember what he looked like. So he was that dragon?!"
“I never expected…” Jiuxiao murmured. He had also caught a glimpse of the dragon’s arrival, such a great being, he never thought it would come to his side.
Ignoring their excitement, Leng Xiang picked up the controller that Jiu Li had dropped, silently turned down the volume, and continued doing what she originally wanted to do—listening to the news from Beichuan District—without expression.
The five mermaids of the Pingyao, Lanqi, Kasai, Xihuayue, Liqi, and Yeling, who had witnessed firsthand just how enormous and incredible that divine dragon was, all wore expressions of shock and bewilderment.
They looked at each other, a complex feeling stuck in their throats like a stone, making them feel extremely dry even though they were still in the sea, almost unable to speak.
After a long pause, Lan Qi chuckled dryly and said softly, "So... he actually went back?"
"Perhaps," Xi Huayue replied noncommittally.
"Although I don't want to admit it, the dragons will always return to where they belong, right?" The fan smiled helplessly and looked at Yin Chen, who had closed his eyes and fallen asleep in front of the loudspeaker because he couldn't hear Long Xun's voice again.
As an online writer, Wenmi needs to consult a lot of information, and she also knows some about hypnosis of shallow-sea mermaids.
A mermaid who falls into a deep sleep to the song of the shallow-sea mermaid can be awakened in two ways: either by sleeping for a certain amount of time, or by being awakened by the shallow-sea mermaid singing again.
The psychedelic effect of that kind of singing can prevent hypnotized beings from perceiving the outside world, allowing them to fall asleep in a very safe and peaceful environment. In this state, they should theoretically not be disturbed by any sound, let alone wake up.
However... Yin Chen's reaction was less like waking up and more like a conditioned reflex.
Even when his consciousness is still asleep, when he vaguely feels that he hears a voice engraved deep in his consciousness, his body will automatically chase after it, hoping to hear it more clearly. So when he loses the voice that triggers his instincts, he will fall asleep again.
However, the terrifying force with which Yin Chen had just smashed through the crystal wall with such ferocity still made the merfolk a little timid.
After calming down from their initial excitement, the mermaids discussed among themselves. Jiu Xiao, Dong Jun, Jiu Li, and Li Qi formed a circle around the unconscious Yin Chen. Ka Sai Lan Qi swam forward, Lan Qi on guard, while Ka Sai's face was tense, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light. He stretched out his deep black tail, which was as black as ink, and his forked tail fins very lightly and slowly extended under Yin Chen.
Its broad and powerful tail fin, like a shovel, carefully scooped up Yin Chen.
"He was still asleep."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Kasai wrapped his tail around Yin Chen and placed him on a small sofa nearby.
Just then, a fan who had been secretly searching for news about the dragon online because he couldn't help suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "This news isn't just being broadcast in the East China Sea region!"
"There's news about the dragon in the Beichuan District news preview." At the same time, Dongjun suddenly said.
The two mermen, one large and one small, were slightly taken aback; they hadn't expected that they would speak together.
As military fish, Dongjun and Lengxiang share the same habit: no matter what, they will subconsciously devote some attention to listening to the news. So when Lengxiang was watching the news in Beichuan District, he also heard a report.
"Today's news broadcast preview: The dragon that descended to earth six months ago awoke two days ago, around 3:10 pm on x month x day."
Without hesitation, Ye Ling sang a short and sharp line. Yin Chen, who was lying to the side, moved his eyes slightly. Before he even opened them, a tear slid down his cheek and fell into the sea like a pearl.
Kasai, who had just put him down, saw him crying again and became anxious, shouting, "What's the use of crying?!"
Lanqi quickly pulled Kasai aside; sometimes the kid's words were indeed too provocative to the fish.
However, Yin Chen only smiled bitterly and said lightly, "It was going to fall down on its own."
He didn't want to cry; crying was useless and wouldn't bring Ah Xun back. But those useless tears kept flowing from his eyes, uncontrollable, and he didn't even try to control them.
