The water reached their necks, and soon when it was about to reach their heads, there was a gurgling sound, and the water level in the cellar began to gradually drop. After a while, the water reached the girls' waists.
They all opened their eyes.
"What's going on? Why is there suddenly less water?"
They looked at each other.
A voice came over: "Don't be afraid, you won't die."
"Who? Who is talking?" The five girls panicked.
A human head slowly emerged from the water.
It's a woman with long hair.
"Ah...what?" The five girls hugged each other in fright.
Because there can't be anyone else in this cellar except them.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
The woman's upper body slowly emerged, and her long black hair floated on the water.
She is very beautiful, especially her eyes, which are twinkling and very spiritual.
"Who are you?" The voices of the five girls all changed.
"I'm here to save you. If it hadn't been for me just now, the water would have been above your heads."
Only then did the girls realize that the water level suddenly dropped just now because of this person.
"Who are you? Why do you want to save us?"
The woman let out a fit of giggles.
"If I say I'm not a human being, would you believe me?"
"ah?"
"Don't be afraid, I'm actually a mermaid, half human and half fish."
As she spoke, she continued to float upward until her lower body was exposed.
It turned out to be a shining golden fish tail.
Just like the mermaid on TV.
The girls were shocked.
In this dark cellar, a mermaid suddenly appeared. Is this a dream?
"Thankfully, it rained so hard that the cellar was flooded with water. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here. You know, we mermaids can't live without water no matter how we practice." The woman explained.
"I know how to escape from water. I can escape from one place with water to another place with water."
"Haha, I escaped here from a small river. As long as I can sense the water, I can escape from one place to another."
The girls seemed to understand but felt it was incredible and also scared.
Mermaids only appear in movies and TV shows, so how can they appear in reality?
It's all so unreal.
But there was indeed a mermaid in front of them, and it was because of her that the water level dropped, allowing them to be saved.
"Do you know why I escaped here? Because I sensed something in you, and that's exactly what I need."
The woman suddenly looked at these girls greedily.
The girls were even more scared.
"what?"
"Vitality, strong vitality. You have been imprisoned here for so long, and you are still alive? The vitality is too strong."
"But if I hadn't appeared, no matter how strong your vitality was, you would have drowned."
"So I saved you, and you have to repay me."
The woman took a greedy breath.
"I don't ask for much, just your life force."
One of the girls asked: "So what if you saved us? The devil will come back to torture us, and in the end we will still die."
"Don't worry, I will save people to the end, if you are willing."
"Really? Can you get us out of this cellar?"
"Of course." The woman said firmly.
"But that devil..."
"In your eyes, he is a devil, but in my eyes, he is just an ordinary person. I can slap him to death. Of course, this guy also has strong vitality. After I drain his vitality, I will kill him." Become a mummy."
The girls were filled with hope but more fear.
"If you take away our life force, will we die?"
"You won't die, but you will turn directly into a mummy." The woman smiled proudly.
"But don't worry, I only need to suck your life force once a month. You can live for a long time until I suck all your life out and turn you into mummies."
"Of course, if you don't want to become mummies, then just do as I say and plunder other people's life force for me to absorb."
"You make your own choice."
"Should you stay here and continue to be tortured by that demon? Or should you trade your life force with me?"
Of course girls will choose the second option.
"Okay, I know you are smart. Now close your eyes and I'm going to suck your life force."
The girls only felt their bodies light up, as if something in their bodies had been sucked away.
The woman's face was full of greed and intoxication.
"It's really a worthwhile trip. Such a strong vitality really helps me a lot. It won't be long before I can reach a higher level, hahahaha..."
With a burst of laughter, she slowly disappeared into the water and disappeared.
But her voice came through.
"Remember, I will rescue you from here, but from now on I will come to suck your life force as promised every month."
"This is a deal between us."
It wasn't until there was no movement that the girls came back to their senses.
The heavy rain outside suddenly stopped, the water stopped pouring down, and all the water in the cellar dried up in an instant.
It's amazing, all of it.
The girls pinched each other to make sure this wasn't a dream.
Soon, a fruit farmer who came to the orchard to collect fruits discovered the cellar and called the police. They were rescued and Zhou Changshun was also arrested.
Before he could be shot, Zhou Changshun suddenly turned into a mummy.
The five girls all knew that his transformation into a mummy might have something to do with the mermaid.
So they were also very panicked, fearing that one day they would turn into mummies like Zhou Changshun.
They didn't dare to tell anyone about it because no one would believe them.
The five girls were sent home. At the end of every month, the mermaid would appear in front of them in a strange way and steal their life force silently.
Each time their life force is sucked away, although it is not fatal, it makes their bodies become increasingly weak and their spirits increasingly trance-like.
Just like the mermaid said, sooner or later their life force will be sucked dry, and then they will become mummies.
And they gradually couldn't stand the ridicule and contempt of the people around them, and even their families began to dislike them.
So the five girls met to commit suicide at the beach, but they met Zhang Sinan.
Zhang Sinan rescued them and opened a tattoo shop here to teach them massage skills and make a living.
Zhang Sinan stopped here.
Shu Wen and I were shocked speechless.
"Mermaid? Damn it, is it real or fake?"
"Sister, will the mermaid come to suck their life force every month?"
"Of course, if I hadn't taught them to use the technique of massaging dead people to absorb the vitality of those guests for the mermaid to absorb, the five of them would have turned into mummies long ago."
It turned out that Zhang Sinan deliberately asked them to massage the guests in the same way as they would massage the dead in order to save them.
"In order to cover up the public's confusion, I only let them come out to give massages to customers at night."
"Those guests were sucked out of their life force without realizing it. Fortunately, it wasn't much. At most, it only made them weak and mentally weak. There is no danger to their lives."
Zhang Sinan looked up at me and said solemnly: "I know that what I do has been misunderstood by people, especially that old guy named Hu. He told you from the beginning that the ones used in my shop are used for massaging dead people. The techniques were unclean and had ulterior motives, and he even described me as a heinous person, right?"
Yes, Lao Hu did say that and reminded me to stay away from Zhang Sinan.
"Hmph, actually that old guy is not a good guy. How do you think his apprentice Xiao Fei died? How do you think his son died?"
I was taken aback.
"Didn't Lao Hu's apprentice Xiao Fei die because he dealt with the corpse man in the hall nightclub?"
"Hmph, of course that old guy would say that. In fact, Xiao Fei was instigated by him as a bait to lure the corpse man out, but he ended up trapped inside."
"It's a pity that this kid turned into a ghost after he died. He still doesn't know the truth and still regards the old guy as his master. This old guy is too insidious."
I was shocked.
