94: Schrodinger's Mermaid

Standing on the small boat.

Jia Gu Yi Yan stretched his arms and muscles, warming up.

Although the Mermaid Miss didn't know what warming up was, she watched Jia Gu Yi Yan's movements and followed along, twisting her body, imitating him.

The Old Captain on the deck looked at the pocket watch in his hand, then at the two people who were ready below.

"Start!!"

Bang! Bang!

Both of them jumped into the sea water, and the sea water instantly covered their heads.

'I can dive underwater for more than eight minutes!'

'With the blessing of the Mian Yu Technique, it's not impossible to exceed ten minutes!'

Jia Gu Yi Yan was very confident in his diving ability and his lung capacity.

On the other side, the Mermaid Miss also smiled at Jia Gu Yi Yan underwater.

This effortless attitude!

Then...

Three minutes later.

The crew members on the boat nervously watched the pocket watch in the captain's hand.

It had already...

been three minutes!

While confirming the time, they also carefully watched the movements beneath the sea surface.

As soon as there was any abnormality from either of them, they would immediately jump off the deck and rescue them.

Five minutes!

It had already been over five minutes!

This duration far exceeded the breath-holding limit of ordinary people!

Yet, neither of the two underwater showed any sign of being unable to hold on!

"Oh my god!"

"Captain, look!"

"That Mermaid Miss!"

A sailor pointed at the sea surface, and the Old Captain followed his gaze.

He saw that...

the Mermaid Miss at this moment couldn't hold back, pulling out a sealed game console...

and started playing!

What kind of feeling was this!

It was like a fish on land competing with a human to see who could last longer!

And that person had been breathing for five minutes and was incredibly bored.

So he pulled out a game console and started playing...

That's exactly the feeling!

This woman, she really is a Mermaid Miss!

This attitude! She is undoubtedly a Mermaid Miss!

Looking at the Mermaid Miss leisurely playing the game console in front of him, Jia Gu Yi Yan clenched his fists, nearly losing his breath-hold.

Ten minutes later!

The Old Captain looked at the two still motionless figures below, sweat already starting to seep from his forehead!

These two guys were too extraordinary!

This was ten minutes of diving!

The Mermaid Miss also seemed to realize that a lot of time had passed, so she turned off the game console and looked at Jia Gu Yi Yan.

She seemed surprised that Jia Gu Yi Yan could last so long too.

In that case...

She actually surfaced first and returned to the boat.

"I give up."

Jia Gu Yi Yan also returned to the boat.

He understood that it was probably because this understanding Mermaid Miss was afraid he would stubbornly compete with her and something might happen.

It was also possible that she was truly about to give up and put on this effortless attitude.

It was also possible...

Huh?

Jia Gu Yi Yan looked at the Mermaid Miss's smooth arms and thighs.

Mainly, he looked at the scales on them.

At this moment, after being soaked in the sea water, they actually...

started to fade!

Like dissolving pigment, slowly melting into the water, flowing down her legs.

This...

Was this painted on!

Or was it... a temporary tattoo!!!

Seemingly sensing Jia Gu Yi Yan's gaze, the Mermaid Miss's eyes also fell on her arms and legs.

Looking at the fading temporary tattoo, Mermaid Miss's expression also froze.

But then again, Mermaid Miss's mind works quickly.

"Upon contact with seawater, my skin returned to normal."

"The scales are also starting to shed."

Everyone: ...

In the end, they still couldn't figure out if this Mermaid Miss was real or fake.

But Jia Gu Yi Yan was already too lazy to care.

After all the commotion between her and himself, neither he nor the crew members cared much about her identity anymore.

They just felt that if she was a Mermaid Miss, it wouldn't be strange.

If she wasn't a Mermaid Miss, she was still very impressive.

The effort she put into disguising herself as a Mermaid Miss was definitely admirable.

I'm willing to call her...

Schrödingers Mermaid!

As long as you believe she is a Mermaid Miss, then she is a Mermaid Miss.

If you believe she is not a Mermaid Miss, then she is not a Mermaid Miss!!

Jia Gu Yi Yan initially thought that even if that wave wasn't caused by a monster,

this Mermaid Miss was highly suspicious.

But now, after a brief time with this Mermaid Miss, he felt that...

this Mermaid Miss didn't seem like the type of person who would do that.

When he threw out Torrential Rain E, it could instantly weaken the power of that mountain-like wave by more than half.

That also surprised him quite a bit.

After all, that card was Torrential Rain E, not some "Wave E" or "Storm E."

Perhaps when the Mermaid Miss appeared on the wave, she wasn't driving the wave to attack.

Instead...

She risked her life to save this ship and the people on it who encountered this maritime disaster.

She even chased after them to return the Torrential Rain E she had picked up.

Looking at it this way, she was an honest and truly good Mermaid Miss!

Her following them all this way could also be because of him.

He had shown the extraordinary power of a Summoner during that maritime disaster, which piqued the curiosity of this Schrödingers Mermaid.

That's why she wanted to follow and see what he intended to do.

Perhaps she also suspected if he was a monster and intended to do something bad to the other people on this ship.

So she followed to protect the others on this ship.

All in all...

Even if this fellow wasn't a good person, she was a good fish!

...

"I'm a mermaid, la la la~"

"Fishing every day, I'm in a good mood~"

Mermaid Miss sat by the deck railing, holding a long fishing rod, fishing for sea fish.

The Old Captain, who had nothing to do, stood by, with one hand behind his back.

"You won't catch any fish like that."

The Old Captain spoke with the air of an elder.

And Mermaid Miss, as if her professional ability was being questioned, furrowed her small brows.

"Do you understand fish or do I understand fish? I'm a Mermaid Miss, if I say I can catch them, I can catch them."

"Human grandpa, you'd best not question a Mermaid Miss's understanding of fish."

"I have the ability to communicate with fish!"

The Old Captain shook his head, about to turn and leave.

After all, it was normal to find it difficult to communicate with this Schrödingers Mermaid.

But just as the Old Captain was about to turn and leave, Mermaid Miss's fishing rod suddenly dipped.

Mermaid Miss's heart filled with joy, and she quickly stood up, pulling hard on the fishing rod.

Under the immense force, the entire slender fishing rod was bent into an arc.

"Oh my god!"

"That girl actually caught something!"

The Old Captain turned around in surprise, looking at Mermaid Miss struggling with the fishing rod.

"Such a big fish, I can't even lift it..."

Mermaid Miss's face flushed with effort, and her gaze swept over the other old sailor men around her.

"Come help, grandpas~"

This Mermaid Miss... what a sweet talker.
