Chapter 144


    What is this?! ‘


    I desperately hit the ss in front of me and started shouting, but the only response I could hear was

    the banging sounds I had made.


    ‘God damn it! Why is this happening?! ‘


    I continued banging on the ss in front of me, but I couldn’t even make a crack. I frantically looked


    around and saw a dark shadow through the ss.


    It was Dicken!


    I made my way toward him but then stopped in shock.


    Dicken was wearing a ck windbreaker, and the thick tail that made up his lower body was gone. It


    was reced with a pair of long legs wearing a pair of sweatpants.


    Through the reflection of the ss, I could clearly see the state I was in. My legs had be a silver


    fishtail that was moving naturally along with the water currents, and my upper body waspletely


    nude, revealing my feminine features.


    Stunned, I stared back at Dicken as he looked at me with his deep eyes. He ced his hand onto the


    ss as if he had wanted to touch me, but the panel of ss was in the way.


    Therefore, he clenched his fingers into a tight fist and mightily punched the ss in front of him.


    I could hear the ss cracking as crack lines filled the entire panel. In the next second, the ss


    shattered. I wanted to throw myself at Dicken, but my eyes were met with darkness yet again.


    The intense terror caused me to snap open my eyes as I suddenly felt like my soul had returned to my


    body. I quickly sat up and looked at my legs to find that nothing had changed.


    My legs weren’t a silver fishtail and were the same as before. They still had regr human skin and


    weren’t covered in silver scales.


    Then, I reached out both my hands and flipped them over several times to inspect them. I needed to be


    sure there weren’t any webbed membranes growing between my fingers. After I had ascertained that


    everything was normal, I sighed a breath of relief.


    Even so, I checked my entire body from head to toe before ecstatically hugging my knees and kissing


    them like a near-amputee.


    ‘Thank God my body didn’t change into a mermaid…’


    ‘But what exactly is happening? And what does Dicken mean by first changes?’


    My thoughts were a mess as I recounted what Dicken and I did at sea and the events in my dream. I


    nced at my surroundings and realized that I was back in his cave.


    ‘Does this mean I never left this cave? And the events that urred after the weird ceremony was all a


    dream?’ I shook my head as I didn’t believe this


    hypothesis. The rush of adrenaline and the excitement when Dicken and I were leaping across the sea


    felt too real, as did the intense pain of turning into a mermaid afterward. My mind was ovee with


    confusion.


    ‘Which of my memories are real, and which of them are from my dream?! ‘


    I suddenly realized that it would definitely leave a trace or two on my body if these things really did


    happen. And if that was not the case, then that means there must be something wrong with my mind.


    So, I reached my hand behind my ear and was immediately petrified.


    Behind my ears, I could feel a small slit that still had traces of seawater on it. This reminded me of


    when Dicken brought me to the bottom of the sea, and I felt the seawater enter my mouth and nose


    before exiting through this spot behind my ear.


    My body had really undergone some changes, just as Dicken said, and the slits behind my ears were


    evidence of that. This revtionpletely shattered the relief I had when I thought I was just


    dreaming.
