Chapter 145
The Merman, My Man by ck Velvet Chapter 145
The extreme panic made me hyperventte, and I felt like I was about to suffocate.
I took continuous deep breaths to force myself to calm down. Then, I rubbed my temples to make
myself stay awake and not faint again.
I had to ept the reality of things. I had grown gills like a mermaid behind my ears and could breathe
freely in the water. I even had an illusion that my leg had be a tail and my hands had turned into
webbed ws.
My body had undergone changes after reacting to something from a biological standpoint. In other
words, this could be considered a gic mutation.
Even though I wasn’t thinking straight, I could still recite my knowledge in gics from my studies.
Gic mutations are the primary cause of changes t o a being’s biological makeup. Many factors
could lead to gic mutations, and they could be ssified into three categories. The first category is
physical factors such as X-rays andsers. The second category is chemical factors that could react
with molecr DNA, thereby changing it. Examples of this include nitrous acids and bases, among
others. The final category is biological factors thatprise but are not limited to contracting viruses
and certain types of bacteria.

The factor that most likely caused this belongs to the third category.
Dicken must have caused this. He had shot his semen and DNA into me countless times whenever he
vited me. This means that there was a virus within his semen that was aggressive… They had
changed and rearranged my chromosomes or even altered their gic structure as well as the
numbers. And so, the damn virus had killed off my original cells and reced them with cells with
mermaid characteristics.
‘Dicken said that this was the first change…
That would mean there will be a second, a third… An nth time of change? Until I be a mermaid
entirely?
No, no, no! I can’t ept this!’
I frightened myself with my inference. In frustration, I paced around the cave, ruffling my hair as my
body broke out cold sweat.
‘I’m going crazy. What’s the use ofing up with these theories now? Even if I wrote a shocking
thesis based on the deduction that merpeople can assimte with humans, it could not change the fact
that I have been gically mutated! There is no meaning to these theories! They can’t change my
physical state back to how I was! ‘
I didn’t want to be a mermaid and stay on these inds forever with these barbaric merpeople. I
wanted to go back to being a student with my parents by my side.
‘Calm down, Linda! You must stay calm! ‘
The current phase of changes didn’tpromise my human appearance too much. I could still think of
ways to stop the mutation. The only way to do that was to inject me with a serum to prevent the
mutated cells from growing.
‘Yes! I have to leave this ce. I can’t have any further contact with Dicken. As long as I can make it
back into theb, Peter and the others will definitely help me find a way to suppress this virus ! I must
believe in science! ‘
The moment I had made up my mind, I calmed down miraculously.
It was true that I was turning into one of them, but panicking would not solve anything. I was the only
one who could save myself from this.
Therefore, I carefully climbed to the cave entrance and looked toward the sea. But I couldn’t spot
Dicken’s figure. Perhaps he had gone to feed somewhere in frustration or had matters to handle
pertaining to his n. Either way, his absence had only reinforced my intentions to flee from this ce.
I quickly made my way back into the cave and toward the hole that Dicken used to store his
memorabilia. To my delight, I found that it was not short of items I could use. I immediately packed
several pieces of exploration equipment that I might’ve needed, like a rusty but still functional knife, a
looking ss, apass, and a small bottle of vodka that was still sealed, which I could use as a
disinfectant. I even found a ship crew uniform. I bundled all the items together in a piece of canvas
before fastening it onto myself.
