This Beauty is Out from Space Chapter 4

After talking to the mermaid for a while to please her, Elliot left the basement. He made sure that he did not leave any traces here. After locking the basement door, he walked back to his room along the original route, bypassing the bounty hunters. The sky was gradually getting brighter. He checked the bedroom and after making sure that it was safe, he fell on the bed and fell asleep.

The starship was getting closer and closer to the Mermaid Galaxy. If they continued to travel for another day or two, they would not be able to receive external signals due to the influence of the wormhole and the cosmic matter around it. Elliot pretended to be casual while having dinner with Allen, noticing that the attitude of the hunters around him was getting more and more strange.

"You seem to be busy lately," he cut into the steak. "How are you?"

"Another death," Captain Allen rubbed his temple with a headache, "last night, he died next to your room."

Elliot stopped.

"Don't worry," seeing that he didn't say anything, Allen comforted him: "Some people may say bad things, I can't control everyone's mouths, but I really trust you, and they dare not do anything."

"How did he die?"

"Not sure yet, it looks like sudden death, no obvious injuries on the body."

Sudden death, no injuries.

Elliot responded, hesitating for a moment, then looked at Allen with a slightly apologetic look: "If...if it's not too much trouble, how about I sleep on the floor in your room?"

Once a crack appears, even the deepest feelings will be alienated. Moreover, Allen has worked with these bounty hunters for ten years. His companions' thoughts will more or less affect his judgment. Rather than waiting for Allen to completely doubt him, he might as well take action to strangle the crisis in its infancy. Moreover, he is not sure that the mermaid will not kill him. It is safer to be with Allen. The captain in front of him nodded hurriedly after being surprised. Elliot took the opportunity to express his desire to see the mermaids again.

The starship arrived at the Mermaid Galaxy. The mermaids used to guide the way were no longer as important as they were at the beginning. Allen was unable to go with him because he had to deal with matters of all sizes. After asking for Elliot's fingerprints to record the door password, Allen handed the key to him. Before visiting the mermaid, he asked A and Cole for more than ten fresh and plump deep-water jellyfish. He hadn't visited it for several days since the last ambiguous night. Like the previous times, the mermaid sensed Elliot's breath the moment he opened the door. The difference was that this time it shrank in the water tank and didn't seem to want to pay attention to him.

Realizing that it was upset because of his estrangement over the past few days, Elliot's eyes were filled with a smile.

"Hi?"

The mermaid didn't look at him.

"I brought you this." He seemed not to notice its strangeness, but walked towards the other person in a natural manner. In Elliot's hand, there was a light pink jellyfish in the transparent cellophane bag. He showed the mermaid the small wound he had deliberately let the jellyfish bite him: "I got stung on my hand because I was trying to catch them."

"......"

Half a minute later, the mermaid finally swam over, snatched the cellophane bag, poured all the jellyfish into the tank, and then uttered a strangely beautiful hum.

As the rumors said, the mermaid's singing was a well-deserved heavenly sound. The sound was like the deepest and darkest water from the bottom of the ocean, or the first ray of beautiful sunlight after breaking through the sea surface. Even Elliot lost his focus in the sound of the other party. He slowly reached out to the mermaid. Fortunately, the latter stopped singing at this time. Elliot blinked and noticed that all the jellyfish were floating limply on the water. The mermaid easily peeled off their skin and quickly ate most of the food. Seeing the other party handing him the last peeled jellyfish, Elliot lowered his head and smiled at it.

The mermaid's singing may be ultrasonic or infrasonic, and it can kill jellyfish with its singing. Similarly, last night it was able to control the sound to kill the bounty hunter sleeping next to it.

"Thanks."

He took the food from it. Animals have simpler thoughts than humans. The mermaid was willing to leave the food that was close to her mouth for Elliot. No matter what her purpose was, at least she had included him in her scope. After eating all the jellyfish, the mermaid became much more docile. She tilted her head and tentatively grabbed the young man's forearm. All creatures living in the sea are cold. The mermaid's cold and smooth skin glowed with an ambiguous pearl color. She began to lick the injured part of his hand.

The place where the jellyfish stung him swelled up a little. When the mermaid saw him nod, she carefully bit open Elliot's skin with her teeth. Blood containing venom gushed out from the small wound. Although the blood was not much, it was all taken into her mouth. When he first saw this mermaid, it licked his palm. At that time, Elliot thought it was just out of curiosity. Now that he thought about it, he was indeed injured on his hand that day. What's more amazing is that after being smeared with the mermaid's saliva, his wound was completely healed.

"Do you like blood?" Elliot touched its head with his other hand. The young man buried his slender and elegant neck, and his jet-black hair fell on his fair skin. He looked at the mermaid staring at him: "Your saliva can stop bleeding. It's okay to bite it, but you have to bite it gently."

The long pale hair fell in his field of vision. After hesitating, the mermaid placed her hands on his shoulders. The fangs that were usually hidden rubbed against Elliot's skin. The next moment, a pleasure that could almost destroy Elliot came from the place where the mermaid bit him.

"You are like a vampire, using pleasure to lure prey," Elliot laughed. He could feel that the mermaid slowed down its movements after hearing his voice. It was indeed very sensitive to sound and was happy to listen to him. "No one told me that being bitten by a mermaid would be so comfortable."

Normally, Elliot didn't like his life being in the hands of others, but the mermaid's blood sucking could bring him a fantastic and intense pleasure, and it seemed good to press it while letting it suck his blood. Just imagine that every time he exerted force, he would be bitten by the beauty's fangs...

He stroked its pale hair from time to time, his low-pitched voice carrying a hint of complaint, yet seemed warm and intimate.

"I'm addicted."

Allen was a careful man. He did not let him sleep on the floor as Elliot said, but added another bed in his room. When Elliot separated from the charming marine creature, he found that his fingerprints could open Allen's room. Elliot looked at the electronic map on the transparent screen in the room. In a few minutes, they would enter the Mermaid Galaxy. Allen was not there, but the captain's clothes were lost on the bed. Elliot prepared to take a shower first. Just as he began to unbutton his shirt, electronic snowflakes suddenly appeared on the map he had opened before. After flashing for a few seconds, a handsome and familiar face replaced the original Mermaid Galaxy aerial photo.

"Long time no see, Xiaoye," Hyden seemed to be staying in his bedroom. The young king greeted Elliot with a smile, but a cold look appeared in the depths of his green eyes: "I missed you very much."

"Hyden," Elliot laughed along with him, "You still remember me."

"No one will ever forget someone like you..." He paused, as if searching for the right words: "Beauty."

Elliot raised his eyebrows, and the ruler of the entire federation on the screen smiled frivolously: "I miss your bones, dear."

"Why?" Elliot continued his previous actions, peeling off the first button of his shirt with his fingers. The black shirt and his jade-like skin were particularly stimulating to the senses. He deliberately moved his fingers down, and the graceful collarbone like butterfly wings made the picture extremely erotic. Hyden liked every part of his body, especially those places that could show the beauty of muscles and bones. He remembered that Hyden once joked that he wanted to tattoo his name on his collarbone, showing a perverted desire for control: "Because of this, Your Majesty?"

"You are so bad," Liam smiled and shook his head, but his heart skipped a beat: "It will do you no good to anger me. We all know the secret of your body. Come back to me, I can give you the best protection------"

"Look over there."

Elliot pointed at the clothes on Allen's bed. There were two beds and men's clothes placed on them. Liam understood what he meant and his expression changed slightly.

"You're with the others?"

"No one says I can't find someone else after leaving you."

He took off all his clothes in front of him, and the young man's fair and slender body was exposed to the air. Elliot walked closer to the screen naked. He lowered his eyes slightly, and the curve at the end of his eyes was beautiful. He knew that many private scenes could be seen from Hyden's perspective, but it didn't matter.

"By the way, I slept with him."

The starship approached the wormhole and dark matter, and the signal was forced to be interrupted. He couldn't see Liam's final expression, but he knew it was very interesting.

That night, another bounty hunter died in the starship lobby. Unlike the previous two times, this time the hunter died in a particularly tragic way. His head was chopped off, his stomach was cut open, and his open chest and abdomen spilled out steaming internal organs. Nearly half of his flesh was peeled off alive. When the night watchman discovered the dead man, the body was still steaming. The panicked night watchman woke up Captain Allen, and Elliot, who lived with him, was naturally woken up as well. When they went to see the body, Elliot could feel that the night watchman who was leading the way was always looking at him. Knowing that these bounty hunters still harbored a grudge against him, Elliot looked away indifferently.

After seeing the corpse, he observed the surrounding environment. From the descriptions of other hunters, no one had appeared near the hall at the time of the hunter's death. Elliot listened thoughtfully to the other hunters' descriptions of Allen, and a hint of deep meaning flashed across his black eyes.

This way of dying...is the mermaid angry?

Rather than simply being angry, it seemed like it was venting its anger. Was it because it was almost home? Or was it...

After Allen had dealt with all matters, they returned to the captain's room to rest. After dawn, the atmosphere on the ship became even weirder. Elliot, the most suspicious person, was with the leader of the bounty hunters when the incident happened. If it wasn't him, everyone could be a suspect. Allen rarely showed anxiety in front of him. The body of the deceased last night was too intimidating. It was like a warning, a malicious telepathic flash. Even though he knew it was not good to disturb Allen at this time, in order to prove his inference, Elliot still asked the captain to accompany him to see the mermaid.

Allen agreed. After breakfast, they walked into the basement. Before they approached the water tank where the mermaid was placed, the creature inside began to swing its tail happily. The splashing sound was crisp and pleasant. It seemed to be unaware of the violence and blood that happened in the starship. Its bright red eyes were as clear as when they first saw it. The mermaid's innocence and leisure were incompatible with Allen's heaviness. The captain seemed to have noticed this, and he didn't want to approach it. Seeing this, Elliot walked towards the mermaid step by step.

It looked very happy that the young man came to see it. Before he reached the water tank, the mermaid took the initiative to grab his arm. The pearly skin it touched was so fragile that a slight pinch would leave a red mark. The mermaid's appearance was too deceptive. Even so, Elliot did not miss the smug look on its face when it looked at Allen.

It was enjoying Allen's pain and becoming closer to him, just like the mermaid was jealous because she knew Elliot and Allen lived in the same room, and the mermaid knew everything that happened on this starship.

Really......

There was a wave of uncertainty in Elliot's eyes, and he smiled at the mermaid from an angle that Allen could not see.

If such an evil yet spiritual creature were forced to cry, it would surely sound very beautiful, right?

He was really...looking forward to the day when he could hold it under him.
