Chapter 96: Snap your fingers
"Human beings welcomed her warmly, saying she was the daughter of the sea and the most beautiful mermaid in the world.
She loves to laugh.
She would dive into the sea and find beautiful shells to give to the fishermen. She would also sing at night. Her singing was so beautiful that people who listened to it would no longer have nightmares.
I hate her very much. Because of her, I have been hungry for a long time and can only live somewhere else.
Later, I heard that she was injured while protecting fishermen during the tsunami.
I think her brain is sick. Human beings are our food rations. Why should we protect our food rations?
I secretly came back and read her dream, and it turned out that she fell in love with a man.
Therefore, she wants to become a human being.
She cut off her two legs and endured the pain day by day. The sea water eroded her wounds. She cried, and the tears she shed turned into pearls, arousing countless greed.
At first, the fishermen begged her to cry in order to get the pearls.
Later, when the price of pearls skyrocketed, begging turned into imprisonment, then torture and humiliation.
Her tears dried up, her heart hardened, and she could no longer cry.
The fishermen caught the man she loved and chopped him alive in front of her.
She knelt on the ground and begged, she cried in pain, and the pearls rolled down string by string.
The fishermen, blinded by greed, laughed and held up the pearls.
The man did not survive the next day and died in the dark dungeon.
She finally broke out, slaughtered the entire village of fishermen, ate all their flesh and blood, and then returned to the deep sea."
I frowned slightly: "I saw steel nails and lithium batteries inside her legs. Were those fishermen nailed them in to make her cry?"
Dream Eater Tapir sneered: "Lithium batteries were a rarity in those days. How could they be used on a livestock?"
When he mentioned the word 'livestock', the Dream-eating Tapir spoke in a serious tone and gritted his teeth.
It is angry for the sharks.
"In the past few decades, there have been too many things in the sea and it has been too crowded.
What Guixu wants are souls and corpses, not plastic waste, lithium batteries, steel nails and nuclear wastewater.
The garbage with nowhere to go floated in the ocean all day long, piercing her flesh and skin, causing ulcers and water plants to grow wildly.
Humans killed her heart and destroyed her body.
She mutated and became that ugly look.
She used to be... very good-looking too."
"She was moved by the love between Tian Yuxuan and Jiang Han, so she decided to trade..."
"Who knows what's going on in her mind? She's been hurt so much that she still keeps her promise. She's simply a shame to the ocean, a monster... a scum among mythical beasts!"
The dream-eating tapir, which was almost called a monster, glanced at me secretly. Seeing that I wasn't paying attention, it raised its neck again and flicked its long nose wildly.
"Since you and she are old acquaintances, why didn't you tell her earlier?"
The dream-eating tapir's nose froze as it swung back and forth, and its eyes evaded: "I know her, but she doesn't know me. There's nothing to say..."
"Could it be that you went to scare the fishermen in your dreams at night, and when she found out, you beat her up..."
"No! Absolutely not!" The dream-eating tapir bounced up as if its tail had been stepped on, and shouted loudly: "I am a sacred beast, how could I be beaten! Don't talk nonsense, spreading rumors will not do you any good!"
If it is urgent, then it is true.
Thinking of it being rubbed on the ground by the sharks decades ago, I immediately laughed and teased: "Lying will make your nose grow longer. No wonder your nose is so long. If it continues to grow, it will be longer than your body."
The dream-eating tapir looked at me with disdain: "You are lying to a child, but you dare to tell me that my nose is already so long, and it has nothing to do with lying... Ahem, I mean I didn't lie..."
I looked at it with a half-smile.
Dream-Eating Tapir was shocked by my look and took two steps back: "You, what are you doing?"
I lay on the bed in a leisurely state: "Didn't you promise me before that you would tell me about the ghost temple? Let's do it now, and let you have a good meal, otherwise you won't have anything to eat when you get to Lop Nur."
The dream-eating tapir looked at me and was about to burst out of his mouth, but thinking about the situation where he vomited after eating not long ago, he suddenly became entangled.
If you don’t eat it, you’ll be sorry for yourself; if you eat it, you might be sorry for yourself even more.
The dream-eating tapir considered for a moment, between starving to death and starving to death, he chose to starve to death.
It walked up to me and said seriously: "This time can't be like last time, otherwise, I will drill a hole in your dream, and anyone can come in in the future, and you will not be able to control your dream!"
"
I was keenly aware of the key point in the dream-eating tapir’s words: “Can I control my dreams?”
Dream Eater Tapir nodded: "Of course, of course you can control your dreams."
"Aren't you in control?"
The dream-eating tapir's little eyes turned around, and he blatantly looked down on me: "The most I can do is control the direction based on the things in your dream, or make up a story or something. If you don't have it in your dream, I can't help it. If you have a pure heart,
, if I don’t think wildly, there won’t be those messy things in my dreams, and I won’t be able to start.”
I remembered that when I fell into a coma after taking the Big Snake Demon Pill, the Dream-Eating Tapir once said that there was nothing in my dreams and it could not scare me.
The dream-eating tapir laughed and continued: "You always said that when you were a child, you were scared to sleep by the red-clothed ghost that I transformed into, and you were tortured deeply. But the appearance of the red-clothed ghost was also something I got from you.
I borrowed it from my dream. If you hadn’t imagined the ghost in red, I wouldn’t have been able to transform into that appearance..."
I frowned and had doubts in my heart. In my impression, except in dreams, I have never seen a red-clothed demon before.
"I try my best to control the ghost temple in my dreams. Please restore to me what you knew at the time. You can exaggerate, but it must be true."
The dream-eating tapir's two little eyes were shining brightly, and he snapped his fingers maliciously.
I relaxed my mind and fell asleep quickly.
Before I fell asleep, I was confused. How did the Dream-eating Tapir snap its fingers with its hooves?
Soon, I no longer had the mind to think about it.
I went back to my childhood.
I lowered my head and saw that my tiny palms looked like they were about five or six years old at most, maybe even younger than when I found the hedgehog.
"Stupid Rui, look what is this?!" A little boy with a runny nose held a bug in his hand and approached me with a wink.
I remember him, his name was Big Head, he always bullied me when I was little.
His words brought me back to my childhood. I pursed my lips and felt extremely scared. My hands were tightly grasping the hem of my clothes.
There were several children of about the same age beside him, and they kept cheering.
