756 Weeping from the Distant Ocean (1/2)
In his dreams, Zhang Zian could see the nameless cape in Germany, packed with weird ocean creatures. He had even created weirder creatures in his dreams.
Many unimaginable creatures were lurking in the unfathomably deep ocean. If these creatures were attracted to Binhai City because of Sihwa's presence here, it would be hard to imagine the consequences. When ferocious sharks, giants whales, and giant squids gathered at the harbor, there would surely be havoc.
The mermaid was almost a weapon of mass destruction!
Therefore, Zhang Zian was concerned with the answer to the question.
Sihwa shook her head with ignorance, suggesting that she had no idea.
Apparently, summoning ocean creatures was a passive skill that she owned. Maybe the source was in her description: ”Creatures with scales all miss her, and come for a sleepover.” Maybe she was too pretty and attracted a multitude of ocean creatures to come around and fall asleep with her.
Zhang Zian scratched his head. What could he do?
Sihwa was completely unaware of the seriousness of this issue and continued to play with the little ducks while she sang a nursery rhyme that she made up.
”One yellow duck, two yellow ducks, swimming away to meet Oppa. Oppa is not home, so they come back for Sihwa…”
”Quack!”
Richard fluttered its wings and flew downstairs. As it happened to hear him talk, it interrupted, ”You idiot! Did you forget it? Didn't she sing a song back then and the white whale left? In my opinion, you should have called the whale back, then rode it to meet the Japanese porn star that you can't get out of your mind. This fits that description: 'Zian rides a whale to Japan today. When will he come back on a crane's back?'”
Zhang Zian picked up a bar of soap and threw it to Richard. ”F**k off! This is a freaking eulogy!”
”Quack!” Richard dodged it coyly, then flew downstairs to tease the other elfins. Its noise in the stairwell could be heard from a distance. ”Lift your head to throw a soap, then bend your body to offer your butt! I finally completed this ancient poem!”
As soon as it left, the second floor turned quiet.
Zhang Zian thought about it carefully and realized that it made sense. Not the butt offering, of course, but the white whale leaving the coast after hearing Sihwa's song and diving back to the deep ocean. It suggested that, although she could not manipulate the ocean creatures to not follow her, she was able to make them leave.
”Sihwa, at the German beach, did you sing to the white whale? Then it left?” he asked.
”Yeah.” She nodded without paying much attention.
”Can you repeat the magic and make the ocean creatures approaching Binhai City leave?”
She nodded, and then shook her head. ”They are too far and can't hear me.”
”This means that if the creatures are too far away, they can't hear you sing?”
”Yeah.”
Fine. He didn't think of this.
If Sihwa was able to leave the pet shop and sing at the beach or in the sea, it would have been fine. But she could not leave the pet shop…
Should he try to record her songs, and then play them at the beach?
But that could not work, either… Even if he played them at the beach, how far could the song possibly travel?
Zhang Zian could not figure of a better idea. He didn't foresee so much trouble in bringing the mermaid to Binhai City.
He wanted to take a walk downstairs so he could figure out a new way. Then Sihwa murmured to herself, ”If Oppa hears my song, will he come here to look for me…”
”That's impossible,” Zhang Zian said, killing her thought from the start. ”Isn't your Oppa in Korea? It's hundreds of kilometers away!”
She pouted. ”Hundreds of kilometers? How far is hundreds of kilometers? But I can clearly hear the whales weep in that direction.”
As she spoke, she lifted one arm and pointed towards the northeast.
What?
