The merman, my man novel Chapter 225

“What’s in your mind, my darling student? I don’t believe it… Am I dreaming? You’re in my hands once more… Oh, Linda… My dear Linda…“

Gary looked down at me, pressing his cheek against mine, looking at me like a man who was obsessed.

Even in this situation, all I could think about was Dicken. I was no different from a poor lemming on the edge of a cliff.

Suddenly, I heard some noises as killing intent surged out in my direction. Before Gary could turn to look, a pair of pale hands seized him by the back of his head, the fingers almost poking into his eyes.

The veins of the hands flashed with a dangerous blue light as if conducting electricity, making the pale skin appear even more translucent. There was indeed the buzzing of electric currents, passing from Dicken’s hand, which was in contact with Gary’s body.

I watched in shock as Gary wildly spasmed as if electrified, and he soon turned limp. Dicken held him up from the back, turning Gary towards himself as he leveled that unfamiliar face of his at a dazed Gary. He then growled in the familiar voice I knew, “Where are the blue crystals you gathered from the ocean’s depths? Tell me their specific location.“

“It’s on a helicopter heading towards Hiroshima. It will reach the port in three days.“

Gary’s eyes could not focus at all as he looked blankly at Dicken, his body still twitching. He clearly had no idea what he was saying, and merely told Dicken what he wanted to know as ordered.

I understood why Dicken did everything he did then, but the truth was no relief at all. I could feel frustration and misery filling my chest, and my throat felt as if it had been burned by pepper powder with a fiery sting.

“Is this your perfect plan, Dicken?“

I resisted the burning pain, staring coldly at the unfamiliar face, and gave him an ironic smile. “You used me as bait so that you could control him from behind? What a perfect plan.“

“Linda, he’s trained and highly resistant. I can only control him when he lets his guard down. I didn’t tell you because I was afraid you would let something slip.“
