How to become a mermaid

Chapter 398 Face-to-face nt... No, it's deceiving the ignorant mother bug!
Hearing that Elise recognized herself, Shamanlael was surprised.

"Squeak??" He looked at Elise with disbelief in his eyes.

Elise was also surprised at this time, but more of a surprise.

It lowered its head, used its tentacles to test around Shamanlael a few times, and then let out a long and joyful cry: "Hey!"

[Yes!This is the taste!Exactly the same as the puppy! 】

Shamanleir really didn't expect that Elise could recognize her by smell?
But does he smell?Why didn't he hear it?
Shamanlell sniffed himself and found that there was only a rancid smell of sewer, which was no different from other mice.

Seemingly noticing Shamanlael's movements, Elise uttered another happy cry: "Hey~!"

[What you can't smell ~ only I can!I can not only eat the brains of other creatures, but also their souls, so I can smell the souls, and then choose the souls I want to eat through the smell! 】

It tapped Shamanlell's head with its thick forelimbs, and let out another cry.

"babble!"

[You are a puppy, your smell is very strange, so I smell it right away! 】

Hearing Elise say that her soul smells very strange, Shamanleir was a little confused.

strangeness?Where is it strange?

Is it because his current consciousness is attached to other creatures?

"Squeak?" Do I smell bad?

Elise shook her head, nodded again, then shook her head again, and finally made a tangled voice: "Yeah..."

[I don't know, it's just weird!Can't tell if it's fragrant or stinky! 】

After finishing speaking, it stared at Shamanlael with a pair of big black eyes, and asked, "Yeah?"

[No, why didn't you become a human, but a mouse? 】

"Squeak..." I don't know too well...

When Shamanleir said this, he felt a little guilty, and his tone was a little vague.

He lied to Elise, and it seemed to believe it.

Hearing Shamanlael's answer, Elise's eyes flashed with disappointment, and the tentacles on her head shook uncomfortably, like a child who has made a mistake.

"babble…"

【Is it because I dug up your grave that you became a mouse? I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I just want to take you with me...】

Although it is a bit strange to say this, when Shamanlaer heard that Elise dug "her own" grave and wanted to take him away with him, he was inexplicably moved.

It's obviously just a bug that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, but it has such pure emotions.

Compared with it, Shaman Lair felt that he was so hypocritical!

He flicked his tail a little uneasily, considered his words a little, and said to Elise:

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!" It's okay, it's not your fault, and I don't mind at all!If I die again this time, you can just bury me again, maybe I will become a human next time!

After thinking about it again and again, he still chose to lie to Elise, but it was a white lie.

If the mouse he possessed died again this time, Elise would not be as sad as last time.

Elise believed his words again, and let out a cheerful cry: "Yeah!"

【Really?Then will you remember me next time? 】

"Squeak!" will definitely be remembered!Because you are my friend!
This sentence Shaman Lair did not deceive Elise, in his opinion Elise is his friend.

Elise was also very happy when she heard it, and she didn't dislike Shamanlael as a dirty mouse that ran out of the sewer, and happily touched his head with her forelimbs.

Its puppy lives and will live again, and no matter what the puppy becomes, as long as he remembers him, they will always be friends!

"babble--!"

[Then it's done!Must not forget me!Come find me next time! 】

"Squeak..." Shamanel also rubbed Elise's leg with his head, just like he did when he was a puppy.

One insect and one mouse just rubbed and touched each other, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.

however…

An abrupt voice suddenly sounded, breaking the harmonious atmosphere.

"Hehe... What two lively little guys!"

It was a man's voice, very gentle, and even a little unhurried and calm, but it was especially harsh in this quiet night where even the sound of insects stopped.

not good!someone is coming!
Hearing the sound, Samantel felt a thump in his heart, and suddenly raised his head to look at the place where the sound came from.

At some point in front of him, a tall figure appeared.

He was standing next to the stone statue at the end of the steps, his body was shrouded in a hazy mist, making it impossible to see his face, only a pair of pitch-black eyes could be seen.

The black eyes, which are deeper than the night, looked down, their eyes were as compassionate as gods, and overlapped with the eyes of the stone statue beside him for a moment, making Shamanleer feel like the stone statue was alive and watching him. Feel.

No... It's not that the stone statue is alive, but that the stone statue itself was carved out of this man!
This is his church, and he is the one who played tricks in the dark and created a dream to bring Elise here!
Realizing this, Shamanlael felt a strong uneasiness in his heart.

There is no doubt that this man is coming for Elise.

Although his specific identity is not known yet, his purpose of approaching Elise should be similar to that of Edwin.

No matter if Elise falls into his hands or Edwin's, it will not be a good situation!
no!Elise must not be taken away by this person!
Shamanlael flicked his tail uneasily, his brain turned wildly, thinking of ways to get rid of the situation in front of him.

While Samantel was turning around in a hurry, Elise also saw the mysterious man standing on the steps.

Although it wasn't particularly clever, it wasn't too stupid either. Seeing an uninvited guest suddenly appear in front of it, it naturally realized that something was wrong.

I saw it raised its head, vigilantly and angrily issued a warning:

"babble!!"

【who are you!Why is it here!Did you bring me here? 】

"Hehe..." Hearing Elise's angry question, the mysterious man on the steps let out two inexplicable laughter.

"Don't be too nervous, take it easy, I have no ill intentions towards you."

While talking, he took a step and walked slowly towards Elise.

"Da da da…"

"Da da da…"

The sound of crisp footsteps echoed in the silent night sky.

Seeing the man getting closer and closer to her, Elise inexplicably felt a little fear in her heart, and subconsciously wanted to run away.

However, its body was out of control.

Even though he was still conscious, his body was as heavy as if he had fallen into a swamp, and he couldn't even lift his feet, so he could only watch the mysterious man approaching him.

"Squeak!" Seeing that guy approaching Elise, Samantel made an eager voice.

Like Elise, he is now shrouded in some invisible sense of oppression, but his condition seems to be better than Elise, but his body feels extra heavy, not completely unable to move.

Seeing that Shamanleir was still able to resist, the mysterious man raised his eyebrows and glanced at him in surprise, "You can still act in the face of my coercion. It seems that you are really an interesting little guy."

"However, I suggest that you better be quiet and don't make me angry!"

His voice was still calm, but he suddenly burst out with a more powerful force than before.

A sense of oppression and suffocation, like a boundless night, rushed towards Shamanleir quickly, making his eyes wide open, and he couldn't make a sound for a long time.

"Da da da..." At this moment, the sound of footsteps also stopped.

The mysterious man was already standing on the stone steps in front of Elise. He swept over Elise with probing eyes, and then with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he said slowly: "You are more beautiful than I imagined." Be fun."

"Hey..." Elise struggled to make a sound out of her mouth.

[Stop talking nonsense, what are you doing! 】

It hates this human being, and it smells uncomfortable all over its body.

Faced with Elise's vigilance, the mysterious man was not angry. Instead, he stretched out his hand to it and said softly, "Nice meeting, Miss Elise."

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Ales, Ales Holmes."

When Ales introduced himself, the coercion that shrouded Elise disappeared.

Elise felt her body loosen and regained control of her body, but it didn't relax its vigilance, let alone shake hands with Ales, but glared at him resentfully.

"babble!!"

[I'm not interested in meeting you, what do you want to do! 】

Seeing Elise so guarded against herself, Ales just smiled.

He withdrew his outstretched hand, and said in a helpless tone: "I have said that you don't need to be so wary of me. I have no ill intentions towards Miss Elise. I just want to get to know you. By the way, I want to have a chat with you." cooperate."

It was the first time that Elise heard someone say that she wanted to cooperate with her when she was so old. Its eyes showed suspicion and confusion, and asked Ales, "Eh?"

[What cooperation? 】

"I need your help, just like you helped Edwin." Ales said slowly.

"babble!"

【I reject! 】

Elise refused without thinking.

For its rejection, Ales seemed to have expected it. Not only was he not angry, but he deepened the smile on his face, and said to Elise: "Don't reject it so quickly, we can talk first."

"babble!"

[There is nothing to talk about, I don't want to help Edwin, and I don't want to help you either! 】

Elise remained unmoved.

Hearing what it said, Ales smiled. He lowered his head slowly, looked into Elise's eyes, and asked, "Since that's the case, what do you want to do, Miss Elise?"

"Leaving from Edwin just to get into the sewer and be with flies and mice?"

"Hey!" These words were blunt, causing Elise to wave her forelimbs angrily.

[I don't have such an idea!I only run there when I have to! 】

Ales looked into Elise's eyes and continued to ask: "Then why are you forced? Are you afraid of being followed by Edwin?"

"babble!"

[Yes so what!I don't want to be caught and kept locked up by him! 】

This answer seemed to hit Ales' heart just right.

He nodded and said softly, "Yeah... because Edwin imprisoned you and used you, so you didn't want to be controlled by him anymore, you ran out of his cage, and because you didn't want to be caught by him , that’s why they hid in the sewer.”

"It's all reasonable, but... don't you feel stuffy in your heart? Don't you feel that there is a fire burning in your heart?"

When he said this, there was a strange light in Ales' dark eyes.

He looked at Elise, and said in a seductive tone: "Haven't you thought about letting the man who hurt you and used you be taught a lesson and pay a deep price for his actions?"

To be honest, when Elise heard these words, her heart skipped a beat, and the tentacles on her head trembled twice unconsciously.

Its mind is really easy to guess, and all emotions will be expressed in body movements, which are captured by Ales in no time.

He smiled even more, and continued to say to Elise: "Dear Miss Elise, you must know that escaping is not the best way, you can't escape forever."

"Edwin will not give up looking for you. If this continues, you will always live in Edwin's shadow, worrying and fearing every day."

"In that case, what's the point of trying to escape from him?"

As if imagining the days when she would hide from XZ in the future, Elise's voice dropped.

"babble…"

【I just want to be free... I just want to live happily...】

"I can help you!" Hearing Elise's words, Ales suddenly raised his voice.

He looked directly into Elise's eyes, and said in a firm tone: "As long as you cooperate with me, I can guarantee that your freedom will never be imprisoned, and your normal life will not be hindered!"

"The Edwin you fear is not worth mentioning in my eyes. He will never find you, and even if he finds you, he will not dare to take you away from me!"

"With me, you will have the life you want, and I can even help you punish Edwin! Let him pay for the mistakes he made to you!"

He said it with confidence, because he has this confidence.

He is the original detachment of human beings. If it weren't for Elise, he wouldn't bother to be with a villain like Edwin.

Upon hearing Ales' assurance, Elise blinked her eyes, a little in disbelief that there was such a good thing in the world.

"Hmm?"

【Will you really help me?But why? 】

"Because you are worth it!" Ales put his hand on the carapace on Elise's back, and said firmly, "You have to believe in your own worth, Miss Elise!"

"If you pay, you will be rewarded. This is the most basic rule of human society."

"As long as you help me gain faith, I will protect you and protect you from Edwin's harassment. This is a fair deal that completely complies with the rules!"

"Coercion, as well as deceit, is doomed to failure."

"I will tell you so much because I have true sincerity, and I want to impress you with sincerity and reach a fair cooperation with you, instead of deceiving you like Edwin!"

Having said that, Ales stretched out his hand to Elise again, and asked solemnly:
"Now the right to choose is in your hands, Miss Elise, I will ask you again, would you like to cooperate with me?"
