Although I still find it absurd, I'm more inclined to believe what the person upstairs said.
Look at how calm and collected the streamer is. We're telling you, the right people in the live stream never make a mistake. If this were really a prank, they probably wouldn't even be able to connect to the streamer, right?
Finally, someone understands! I wanted to say this before, but I was afraid of being criticized.
[Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! If this really is a mermaid, where did she come from? And how does she know how to use a phone?]
Now that you mention it, I'm curious too.
[...]
Amidst the flurry of comments, Wan Jiao spoke up, "How did you become like this?"
Wan Jiao's question clearly indicated her willingness to help her.
Qiao Si immediately stopped crying, raised her hand to wipe her eyes, and said, "Today is my eighteenth birthday. As usual, I stayed up all night doing practice problems, and then at 1:30 in the morning I went to take a bath in the bathtub, and that's how I ended up like this."
“But I see you in the pool now, who put you in there?” Wan Jiao asked again.
Recalling this incident, Qiao Si smiled, a rare smile appearing on her face. "It was my grandmother."
After listening, Wan Jiao pondered for a few seconds, and she already had a vague answer in her heart.
People with evil intentions are far more terrifying than demons and monsters.
This girl named Qiao Si is incredibly unlucky.
Fortunately, she met Wan Jiao.
Although I will never be able to become a simple human again, isn't it good to have been given a second chance at life?
"Qiao Si, if you don't want to die, kill the first person you see."
Wan Jiao's voice was cold and indifferent, but when it reached the ears of the viewers in the live stream and Qiao Si, it immediately caused a huge uproar.
[Oh my god, what did I just hear? The streamer is actually asking the mermaid to kill someone?!]
[If I hadn't stayed in the live stream room the whole time, I would have wondered if I'd gone to the wrong place.]
[Is this really our anchor, Wan Banxian? Are you sure it's not someone impersonating him? Instigating someone he's supposed to be connecting with to commit murder?!]
[Aren't you all focusing on the wrong thing? Shouldn't you be focusing on who's trying to harm the mermaid?]
Amidst the scrolling comments, Qiao Si asked Wan Jiao in a voice as soft as a mosquito net, "Streamer, what do you mean by that? Are you saying someone wants to kill me?"
Wan Jiao nodded, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Qiao Si's delicate face turned deathly pale instantly.
"It's just Grandma and me in the villa today." She shook her head frantically, her voice trembling with anxiety as she murmured, "No, I'm an orphan. Grandma brought me here and raised me. She's been so good to me. She would never..."
Unfortunately, before Qiao Si could finish speaking, footsteps could be heard in the distance, along with the sound of chains being dragged on the ground.
On a night like this, it was especially jarring!
Qiao Si stared wide-eyed at the figure slowly emerging from the darkness, her nose and throat feeling incredibly congested.
Because... the person who came was her grandmother.
The grandmother who cherished her and treated her like a precious jewel.
The gentle kindness of the past was gone from her face. She looked at Qiao Si as if she were looking at a dish, extremely greedy.
"Sisi, I've raised you for so many years, today is the day you should repay me. Come on, be a good girl and let Grandma have a piece of your meat."
I mean, can you even imagine this?
An old woman who looked to be in her eighties or nineties, with a face full of wrinkles, said in a sinister tone, "If you behave well, she'll eat a piece of your flesh..."
That kind of chilling fear can really make you break out in a cold sweat.
Or perhaps... she screamed in terror.
[What kind of creepy old woman is this? She looks so scary, she scared me so much I dropped my cake!]
I'm just curious, why would she eat mermaid flesh?
I suddenly have a bold guess: that old hag must have brought the mermaid home in the first place so she could raise her and eat her flesh.
[This guess seems contradictory. That old woman looks like an ordinary person; how could she possibly know that the mermaid girl would transform into a mermaid on her eighteenth birthday?]
I once heard a legend about mermaids, which said that not all mermaids are born that way; some are created.
[Tell me in detail, quick, I can't wait!]
[Waiting for the next installment of the legend, brother, tell us quickly!]
Legend has it that if a girl eats one piece of mermaid flesh every year from birth and survives, she will transform into a mermaid after eating eighteen pieces. Such a mermaid possesses a special power: immortality…
Holy crap, if this legend is true, then that old hag is probably...
[...]
Wan Jiao: "..."
Today's netizens are truly encyclopedic!
They knew about such private accounts of mermaids, accounts that only existed in ancient tales.
amazing.
That's truly amazing.
After clearing her throat twice, Wan Jiao spoke up, "That's absolutely right!"
Four words, light and indifferent.
But these four words gave everyone the answer: Qiao Si's grandmother took her back and carefully raised her from the beginning, all for the purpose of eating her.
What kind of debt of gratitude for raising and nurturing?
What kind of deep bond between grandparents and grandchildren is this?
They're all jokes.
In that old hag's eyes, Qiao Si was nothing more than a dish that could make her young again.
Qiao Si was heartbroken when faced with this cruel truth.
Sobbing, she asked the hideous old woman before her, "Grandma, you brought me home and took such good care of me, was it really for this moment?"
In the old woman's view, all of this was already a foregone conclusion.
She went to great lengths, raising and killing hundreds of girls, and finally got Qiao Si as her finished product. It was inevitable that she would become complacent.
"Sisi, you truly deserve to be the person I have the highest hopes for. Your intelligence has exceeded my expectations."
The old woman's words shattered Qiao Si's last shred of hope.
Her gaze shifted from the old woman's face to the iron chains, and she asked with a hint of self-mockery, "Eating a piece of my flesh will grant you immortality? What about me? Will I die?"
Wan Jiao had already given Qiao Si the answer.
She will die.
But the old woman didn't know that Qiao Si knew the answer. Her eyes were full of greed, and she lied without batting an eye, "It's just a piece of meat, how could it die?"
"Sisi, I am your grandmother, I would never harm you."
Since ancient times, the people of Shengguo have placed filial piety first.
The kindness of raising and nurturing should be greater than the heavens.
But when everything turns out to be a lie and deception that has been planned for many years, that kindness is gone.
The desire to live is a basic human instinct!
Despite her soft heart and reluctance, Qiao Si had no choice but to remain in a life-or-death situation.
She curled the corners of her lips into a smile, appearing somewhat harmless.
"In that case, Grandma, come and get a piece of meat."
