939 An Invitation to Sign a Contrac (1/2)

Zhang Zian didn't bring the underwater speaker with him, so he hadn't summoned 52 Hertz––it must have been Sihwa.

Before leaving the shop Zian had only told her that he was bringing her somewhere, but he hadn't mentioned that they'd be going to the beach. He also tell her to summon 52 Hertz, but it was no surprise to Zian that she did. After all, Sihwa and 52 Hertz were both very lonely.

52 Hertz was extraordinarily gentle that day. Half of its body was exposed on the water's surface as it looked directly as Sihwa with its eyes that had almost no white.

It was Sihwa's first meeting with 52 Hertz. It was probably very surprised to see that the one who could communicate with it was a mermaid who was half human and half fish.

Sihwa didn't hesitate to swim up to it; she wasn't worried at all that the behemoth might hurt her by accident. She swam up to its head and intimately touched its skin, then whispered words that could not be heard by the human ear.

52 Hertz was probably talking too, but Zhang Zian didn't have the underwater pickup device with him so he couldn't hear what they were saying. It might have been Sihwa listening to 52 Hertz talk about its long search over the years, or it could have been Sihwa telling 52 Hertz her own story.

Zhang Zian was getting bored as he watched them, and since there was no internet in the middle of the ocean, there was nothing much he could do with his phone.

After some time, 52 Hertz's long and flat head sank back into the water. Using her arms as a lever, Sihwa jumped out of the water with a splash and sat on it. 52 Hertz then took her around like that. Sometimes it dove into the water with Sihwa and emerged out from another spot.

Both Sihwa's fishtail and the whale's back were very smooth, so Sihwa would occasionally fall into the water when she lost her grip. She would then emerge from the water like a silly girl, laughing as she hugged its pectoral fins. She had even tried to sit on its nostrils, and it would spray her up in the air with its strong breath. She would somersault in the air before diving back into the sea like she was doing acrobatics.

52 Hertz was also very happy. It twisted its huge body around just like a happy, 100-ton child. It was most likely the first time since its birth that it had a companion to play with.

Zhang Zian really envied them. Although humans had two legs, they could only walk on about 30 percent of the world's area. Even though Sihwa had only one fishtail, she could freely swim in 70 percent of the world's area. What was there to be unsatisfied with? Moreover, all marine creatures could be her friend.

Right then, Zian's phone rang, and it was definitely not Sihwa. The caller was a strange, foreign landline. He tried to recall, but he didn't know anyone in the city represented by the area code. Was it a wrong number?

After hesitating for a moment, he answered the call. ”Hello?”

”Hello? Is this… Mr. Zhang Zian?” The other voice belonged to a young man, and he seemed surprised to hear Zhang Zian's voice. He immediately regained his calmness.

Strange… Who is this? How does he know my phone number and name? Zhang Zian was puzzled. Could it be that his personal information had been sold by some unscrupulous website again?

”It's me. Who is this?” Zian asked, a hint of alertness in his voice.
