Deep in the Pacific Ocean, on a small island called Solomon:
Reinforced concrete built haphazardly, an ancient pier that has been covered with moss.......
Shabby wooden house that seems to be blown apart by a slightly larger sea breeze........
There is also a tower that seems to be relatively strong, made of stone, guiding the navigation of sea ships...
So the pier, the wooden house, the tower constitute Solomon's unique landscape... It declares that the small island has become the territory of mankind........
Uh-huh.
From the ancient dock came a weak, hoarse whistle sound....
A fishing boat that seemed to be a little older than the dock slowly came ashore...
A young man with short, smart hair, carrying a travel bag, and looking like a college student walked quickly down from the fishing boat.
He turned back and waved vigorously at the middle-aged fisherman on the fishing boat——
"Good luck!"
The fisherman responded with a polite smile....... Then he quickly turned the bow of the ship and slowly left the dock.......
Watching the fishing boats gradually disappear into the horizon, the young man walked towards the island with some reluctance.
The boy's name is Jack —"
Is a network writer, said to be a writer, in fact, has been very flattering him, strictly speaking, he can only be regarded as a writer at best: because of all the novels he published, the best results are only no more than 20,000 subscriptions, and finally seven deductions and eight deductions, and only ten thousand yuan of manuscript fees are transferred to his hands. It is not comparable to those who move hundreds of thousands, or even millions of gods.
Jack came to Solomon for a simple purpose:
Relax....... By the way, find creative inspiration... Listen to a fan: Solomon is a good fit for a small writer like him who doesn't have much money to find inspiration...
........
Jack soon came to the wooden house—
The wooden house is too broken: the roof and walls are full of planks that are about to fall, and they are blown by the wind and creak, as if they will collapse soon...
"Go to TM's, also sea view bungalow....... The sea view is broken and broken house is almost ——"
Jack scolded fiercely, and the already lost mood became even worse.......
He sat down in front of the hut in anger, picked up a bottle of mineral water from his backpack and poured it down........
After the mood gradually calmed down, Jack got back on his feet.......
Looking at the sun that was about to fall below sea level, feeling a tight and cold sea breeze, he felt that he should repair the wooden house before dark, otherwise, it would be enough for him at night........
Pulling out the wild survival tools he had brought with him, Jack quickly became busy like a skilled carpenter.
Time passes minute by minute...
Kung Fu pays off....... Soon after, the cabin changed: although it still looked so old, it was no longer as dilapidated as before........ The planks that were about to fall were nailed back to their original positions, and even the wooden doors that were about to fall apart were repaired and reinforced a lot.
Busy with all this, Jack nodded with satisfaction, dragged his tired body into the cabin, and soon fell asleep...
Shhhhhhhhhhhhh
A loud crashing sound of waves woke Jack from his slumber, and he slowly pushed open the door and walked out of the cabin——
It was getting dark, the seabirds had all returned home, and as far as the eye could see, in addition to the unknown darkness of the seashore, it was very close to the hut, and the towers on the cliffs and rocks were towering.
At some point, the lights on the tower have been lit, and it looks particularly dazzling in the night——
"Maybe I should light a campfire too..."
Jack said to himself, turned and walked toward the house—
Whew!
Just then, a vague figure flashed past Jack.
"Who?"
Jack let out a loud roar and looked around nervously.
However, he looked at it for half a day and found nothing........ In the end, I can only shake my head and give up:
"Maybe I'm blind—"
Back in the house, Jack quickly lit a fire, the cabin was small, but it was full of wood, enough to burn for a while.
"After tonight, I'll go to the tower and have a look—"
Jack muttered to himself:
From the light of the fire in the tower, it is not difficult to see that the tower that was originally thought to have been abandoned should still be inhabited.
"Who will live in it... Wouldn't it be a beauty? ”
Jack said self-deprecatingly.
Suddenly, there was a violent slamming of the door from outside the house, and then the cabin shook slightly——
Nervously, Jack pulled out his pistol from his backpack and screamed at the wooden door in a cold sweat.
No one answered.......
Jack picked up a makeshift torch made of wooden sticks and cloth strips in one hand, quietly opened the wooden door, and slowly stuck his head out of the door——
Whew-huh-
The sea breeze outside was blowing like a gust of wind——
By the light of the torch, Jack just looked around the wooden house——
Mommy --
This does not look at it, I almost did not give Jack a bad look:
It turned out that a group of beautiful women with long hair and a good look and figure had gathered around the wooden house at some point, and what made Jack almost not squirt out nosebleeds was that this group of 'beautiful women', their upper bodies seemed to be naked....... The spring light on the chest looms in the firelight, which is very seductive.......
"Did I say you came looking for me?"
Jack chuckled at the 'beauties' with a hippie smile.
Uh-huh.
However, just when Jack thought that the peach blossom luck had arrived, the so-called "beautiful women" suddenly and slowly opened their mouths...
Then a row of beast-like fangs was revealed——
And the lower body of the 'beautiful women' who did not see clearly because of the darkness before also appeared at this moment:
It turns out that there is no lower body........ It's clear that it's a huge black fish tail—
"Mermaid?"
Jack was shocked, according to the Introduction in Hollywood Movies: All mermaids that appear in groups are not good kind... Either to attack, or to hunt....
Obviously, this group of mermaids has set their sights on themselves—
After quickly throwing torches into the mermaids, Jack immediately took advantage of their brief panic and flashed into the cabin.
Boom --
Jack slammed the wooden door shut and quickly pressed it against the wooden door with a large amount of wood in the house.
Bang bang bang --
The score was exactly as Jack had expected: the mermaids who dodged the torches were furious and began to frantically hit the wooden door...
Crunch --
The poor wooden door was shattered by a group of crazy "ladies", and if it were not for the large amount of wood inside, I am afraid it would have been knocked open long ago........
After the mermaids hit for a while, they saw that there was no effect, so they immediately began to divide into several ways.
After a while, on the top of the cabin, there were all the screams of mermaids and the clanging of house demolition.
"I have to find another way, sooner or later these ladies will have to tear down the house..."..."
Jack spun around in a hurry, and suddenly—
His right foot stepped on what appeared to be a hollow place in the wooden house:
"This is?"
Jack quickly crouched down and headed for where his right foot had stepped on.
After peeling open a layer of loose soil, he found a one-meter square plank, and in curiosity, he immediately lifted the plank:
It turned out to be the entrance to an underground storage room —
"This time there is salvation!"
Overjoyed, Jack quickly jumped into the underground storage room—
.......
The next day --
Jack, who had been harassed by mermaids all night, saw that there was no movement, and carefully crawled out of the storage room...
When he saw that the log cabin had turned into a pile of broken and rotten wood, he sighed with trepidation:
"Fortunately, I hid in the basement, otherwise these ladies would have demolished me too——""
After a night of life and death, Jack finally came to the tower tower without regard for physical and mental exhaustion:
Struggling alone, he now needed the help of a human companion too much, even a word of encouragement was better than facing the cold empty room alone.
To Jack's slight disappointment, it was not a beautiful woman who opened the door, but a strong middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man's first words after seeing Jack were:
"Actually, you should come to me after you go to the island!"
Jack spreads the stall hands:
"The ghost knows there is that thing!"
After the middle-aged man welcomed Jack into the tower, he glanced at him and said:
"Now that you know Solomon... Didn't anyone tell you? ”
The meaning of the middle-aged man is simple:
Anyone who knows the existence of Solomon Island must know the legend of the mermaid.......
When Jack heard this, his mind immediately flashed between the words of the fans who instigated him to come to Solomon and the kind reminder of the fisherman........ However, at that time, his brain was funny, and all he thought about was the urgent relaxation after high-intensity mental work.
Fortunately, the middle-aged man did not embarrass him much, and after pouring him a cup of hot coffee, he explained:
"I've been working in this lighthouse for decades, and mermaids have been around for a long time, but this year there are a lot of them..."
The middle-aged man paused, lit a cigarette, took a sharp breath, and continued:
"They are all living creatures that attack the island at night... Hordes, like an army, the TMD Mermaid Legion....
Fortunately, my tower is strong enough, they have attacked many times, they have not been able to attack, but they have never given up........ If you knew, if you had come to me yesterday, you wouldn't have been so embarrassed—"
Looking at Jack, the middle-aged man added:
"Don't complain why I didn't take the initiative to tell you... Because: I have too many things here, I really can't walk away....... Mermaids come to attack the tower every day, and the tower is already full of holes, so it must be repaired every day..."
Jack nodded: "He certainly wouldn't be naïve enough to think that the reason would be so simple......... Only now that he had asked for a middle-aged man, he didn't think too much, and after a brief silence, he pretended not to care and asked:
"Will the mermaid attack again tonight?"
The middle-aged man finished taking the last puff of his cigarette, casually threw it on the ground and said:
"Of course it will come—"
Jack nodded and said:
"What do you need me to do?"
Middle-aged man said:
"Last night, due to your sudden intervention, part of their forces were dispersed, so that my tower was not attacked much. So there is no need to repair it today........ It's just that tonight you have to help me deal with the beasts..."
After a slight pause, the middle-aged man suddenly emphatically said:
"After all, you also want to eat, and I don't raise idle people-"
Jack nodded again, he knew that the man in front of him was naturally not a kind person, and he was not saying anything... Under the eaves, he still understands the reason why he has to bow his head...
.........
Soon, night came again—
The Mermaid Legion 'arrived as promised'.......
They frantically slammed the gate of the tower, using their bodies to stack like arhats all the way to the top of the tower... Then enter the tower through the top of the tower, and then attack the tower.......
The mermaid hitting the gate is nothing, after all, the entire tower is made of stone, and the door of the tower is naturally no exception, it is completely a moving boulder embedded in the stone tower.......
However, compared with the gate of the tower, the top of the tower where the mermaid continues to reach through the stacked arhats is only protected by iron windows, and the mermaids who reach the top floor by the stacked arhat only need to break the glass to reach the top of the tower....... Therefore, all the middle-aged man and Jack have to do is to solve the mermaid near the window with a knife and gun, or a fist.......
Like a group of fierce warriors, mermaids stacked on top of towers again and again, and were knocked down or killed again and again... Stacked on top of the tower again and again, knocked down or killed again and again.........
And so it goes on until dawn.......
Although the tower was full of corpses, they never seemed to be afraid.
It's dawn --
The mermaid legions that could not see the sun were forced to choose to retreat——
The middle-aged man who had "fought" all night was so tired that he was like a dog, and he couldn't care about anything else, and he fell asleep lying on the ground.
I don't know how long later, Jack woke up from the haze, he found the middle-aged man still asleep, he felt a pang of hunger in his stomach and did not wake the latter, so he went down to the tower to find food.......
Woohoo --
Just as Jack was gulping bread and drinking milk in the kitchen below the tower, he suddenly faintly heard a woman's whimpering from the next room...
Curiously, Jack opened the door of the next room:
Uh-huh.
When Jack saw the scene in front of him, he almost didn't cry out:
It turned out that there was a purple mermaid tied to the room with a tail.......
When she saw Jack come in, the purple-tailed mermaid seemed very frightened and magically called out the human language:
"You, who are you?"
Jack was curious: the mermaids outside seemed to be babbling, none of them spoke human language, but the purple-tailed mermaid spoke human language...
"Then who are you?"
Jack asked with interest.
The purple-tailed mermaid said quietly:
"I am the queen of the mermaid clan—"
queen?
Jack asked more curiously:
"The queen of the mermaid clan, how can she be here?"
The purple-tailed mermaid sighed and said with tears in her eyes:
"I was captured by the humans in the lighthouse—"
Jack seemed to understand something: the human in the lighthouse that the purple-tailed mermaid said was supposed to be the middle-aged man who had fought with him last night.
"Why did he arrest you here?"
Jack continued to ask.
"He wants me to be his little wife..."
The purple-tailed mermaid grumbled.
Jack heard the words and fell into deep thought....
The purple-tailed mermaid continued:
"That day I was swimming in the sea, he caught me, he saw that I had a bit of a posture, he wanted to force me, I didn't start from him and kept beating me, for fear that I ran away and tied me here...".
Jack suddenly thought of something and asked indignantly:
"Those mermaids who come outside every night to attack the lighthouse are actually trying to save you?"
The purple-tailed mermaid nodded and choked:
"I am their queen, and they will do whatever it takes to save me—"
"Beast, this beast—"
Jack growled indignantly—
What this year is particularly much, what mermaids attack the lighthouse every night....... The whole TM is a lie, the beast actually already knew the reason why the Mermaid Legion attacked the lighthouse.........
"I'm going to get you out—"
Jack stared at the poor mermaid queen with some red eyes and quickly untied her........
Jack quietly pulled the mermaid queen, who was wrapped tightly in less than a little sun, out of the lighthouse and ran straight to the sea, and when they were about to reach the edge of the sea, the middle-aged man unconsciously took a gun and blocked their way.
"I already knew you TM wasn't a good thing—"
The middle-aged man said viciously to Jack.
"Oh, you TM are also qualified to evaluate Lao Tzu, go and die you-"
Jack hugged the middle-aged man as he spoke, and then said loudly to the Mermaid Queen:
"Run, run, go back to the sea, be a happy mermaid!"
The mermaid queen ran into the sea with tears in her eyes........
The gun went off........
Jack fell to the ground.........
..........
Night is coming again—
The Mermaid Legion, under the command of the Mermaid Queen, launched another attack on the tower........ This time it was ten times more than the previous one........ The middle-aged man, under the "heavy burden", chose to drink a bullet and die.......
The Mermaid Queen brings Jack's body back to sea....
Since then, there have been no more mermaids on Solomon Island, no more mermaid legends.
