    I bent down and wanted to take Gaps gun as soon as I saw he could move. But I wasn’t expecting him


    to reacL He snatched the gun and rolled away. Then he leaned against the wall, aiming the weapon at

    Dicken.


    I wasn’t thinking about anything at the time. I jumped into the water and stretched my arms out in front


    of Dicken. Just like the first time I resolved the conflict between Dicken and Gary. Even though I knew


    my tiny body couldn’tpletely cover Dicken’s body, it was the only thing I could do at the time. That


    was what kept Gary from shooting repeatedly.


    His fishtail trailed after my body and wrapped itself around it gradually. Dicken supported me and


    ced me on his chest. His fins shielded my heartpletely. His lips gently kissed the back of my


    necL I had the impression he wasn1 saying anything. ”Linda, you want to protect me, “ his hoarse voice


    said to me.


    I was taken aback. He was able tomunicate with me directly through the nerves in our


    brains after estab fishing the connection. And I could clearly hear a glimmer of a smile in his


    tone.


    I couldn’t figure out why the thought of protecting him made himugh. Even at this critical point of life


    and death. Does he still treat me like a child in his arms from a decade ago?’


    “Goddam n it! Shut your mouth, ’ I said, lowering my voice, “Gary, he wants to…own me. He’s not


    going to kill me but he will not show you any mercy!


    ” Leave him ande to me, Linda ! I am warning you!


    Gary yelled ang rily. The muzzle \vas aimed squarely a t the both of us. His emotions were erratic. I


    had no idea what this lunatic \vas going to do. I wasn t sure if he’d kill Dicken and me together just for


    not being able to have me. But it was clear that, even if we were all going to die together, I didn t want


    to leave Dicken. This thoug ht had already outweighed the desire to live. I clutch his chest tightly. His


    steady heartbeat soothed me from behind. It roused the emotions in my chest. Even though I was


    facing death, I \vas brave.


    ” He won t be able to kill me, Linda.


    ” Don t worry. I am the merfolk n s f nal ck scale alpha. I will not die. He won’t be able to vite


    you anymore. I’ve transferred the magic force you mentioned to you, and it’ll keep


    you safe. Find a way to get out of here. Find Kalimadi. He’ll lead you into the merfolk world.


    Dicken’s low, hoarse voice upied my thoug hts. My body was pushed closer to him by his fishtail.


    He gently rubbed his lips behind my neck. I felt a gentle breath on the back of my neck. It was a


    treasure trove of strong emotions.


    “We’ll see each other again, Linda. I can f nd you no matter where you are.”


    body was then ced on the ground. I \vas suddenly reminded of the merfolk corpses buried beneath


    the sea. If the thing that resembled an underwater cemetery was the merman’s, it gave me a


    bad feeling. I subconsciously hugged Dicken s tail \vith both hands, walked up to him, and looked at


    him as if he were a child.


    But he swung his fishtail and shoved me up ag ainst the wall.


    Gary rushed up as soon as he sa\v this. He grabbed my arms and drag ged me to the hatch. But my g


    aze remained fixed on Dicken. I didn t want to take my eyes off him. My tears flowed unconsciously


    from my eyes. Dicken’s face became a blur amid my teary eyes.
