Indeed, the Founder was truly an omega, which was no secret at all.
But fundamentally, no one cared whether he was an omega or not—
Because whether it was ten years ago or ten years from now, what people really cared about was whether he was human.
Take for instance the crowd following him all the way. Old Wu was driving in front, and everyone else followed closely behind, fearing that the human-shaped nuclear weapon might accidentally go off.
Now, even calling him a “human-shaped nuclear weapon” seemed quite apt.
At this moment, the mermaid’s spirit had already enveloped half of the city. Even without any movement, “his” presence was a massive threat. When this colossal creature opened its pitch-black eyes to survey the city from above, the vast city seemed incredibly small.
No one knew exactly what this giant creature was—
Was it a “malevolent god” that had descended upon the city, or some other type of even more terrifying contaminant?
A tremendous fear engulfed many people. The South Island Base had sent many to track and locate it, yet dared not anger the monster in the sky. Meetings were held over and over, and both Chen Sheng’s and Director Qiu’s phones were nearly blown up with calls.
However, no one knew what this terrifying being wanted to do or where it tried to go, every movement of the monster pulling at everyone’s sensitive hearts.
But at that moment, Old Wu was looking at the Ferris wheel ahead in silence, along with everyone else.
“……”
So how exactly should I write this report?
Old Wu was a founding member, and even though his current situation was different from before, he remained as loyal and reliable as ever. He naturally concealed some of the facts, omitting most of the details, like those minor matters of using someone else’s ID to check into a hotel. He only sent the changes in location.
Soon after, the South Island Base received the latest news from the alphas at the front line—
That breathtaking, enormous creature.
Today’s itinerary was as follows:
Hotel—Cinema—Couples’ Restaurant—Amusement Park.
—With several popcorn shops, milk tea shops, and fishball shops omitted in between.
*
The third stop of the date was the amusement park.
After being with the mermaid, Shu Tang often forgot she was an alpha. But it wasn’t her fault, as she was a transmigrated soul, and her worldview often stayed in the 21st century.
But once she remembered, the dignity of an alpha returned to her like a kitten.
She looked down at her omega and told him:
“Dear, if it gets too crowded later, just lean into my arms.”
The mermaid was quiet for a moment, then looked up at Shu Tang, who was leaning over his head.
Because the weather was a bit stuffy, Shu Tang liked to lean on something cool. In the Bastille, she leaned on a mermaid’s tail, and outside, she leaned on a mermaid’s shoulder or head.
“…”
The two of them played bumper cars.
The bumper cars were too small; just one mermaid sitting in one was enough to fill it up. Shu Tang originally wanted to switch to a new car and compete against him, but the mermaid pulled her into his arms instead.
So, she sat in the mermaid’s embrace.
The mermaid’s large hand held the steering wheel, encircling her inside—
His chin rested on top of Shu Tang’s head.
Like the crushing weight of Mount Tai on top of a cat’s head, she felt her height shrink by 3cm.
She felt the mermaid’s long hair hanging by her ear, her whole body completely embedded in the mermaid’s body, enveloped by his pervasive scent.
She muttered uncomfortably, trying to climb out, but the mermaid’s large hand grasped her waist.
The clothes she wore in May were very thin, so her crop top rode up, and her skin came directly into contact with the mermaid’s cold, rough hand, sending a shiver through her.
Shu Tang felt a tingling in her scalp, overwhelmed by the weirdly ambiguous atmosphere.
However, just at that moment—
“Bang!”
Their bumper cars were struck and sent flying far away.
The heads of the mermaid and Shu Tang turned in unison.
The cat was furiously angry.
Together with the mermaid, she rampaged through the bumper cars, leaving none unscathed.
They played on the roller coaster.
Shu Tang: “Ahhhhhhhh—”
Mermaid: “…”
Shu Tang: “Ayayayayay—”
The mermaid, sitting emotionless at the front of the coaster amidst the screams of the crowd, appeared oddly out of place and confused.
When they slid down, Shu Tang turned her head and asked the mermaid, “Wasn’t that thrilling?”
Shu Tang thought, this fish has always swum in the sea, never having flown in the sky before, it must be an unprecedented experience.
The mermaid nodded expressionlessly, indicating: Thrilling.
When the staff came to unfasten the safety buckles, Shu Tang and the staff member looked down—
They discovered that the mermaid hadn’t fastened his safety buckle.
While flying in the sky just now, the mermaid grabbed the handrail with one hand.
Plummeting from a hundred meters high without expression.
Shu Tang: “……”
The staff freaked out: “Aaaaah!”
Afterwards, the mermaid asked her if it was thrilling and if she wanted to play again.
Shu Tang: “……”
Due to the roller coaster scare, Shu Tang gave up on other rides like the drop tower and pirate ship.
So, in the end, she could only resort to playing claw machines.
Shu Tang had never managed to grab a toy, effectively making her a rookie with a score of zero.
But she would stand next to the mermaid, giving pointers.
The mermaid initially couldn’t grab any toys either, as the buttons were hard to control.
Shu Tang kept directing him, now “a little to the left,” then “a little to the right.”
Soon, the mermaid’s gaze settled on the person next door.
After observing how they grabbed a toy.
The mermaid paused for a moment, turned his head, and started grabbing toys.
Those slender fingers, which had once piloted fighter jets and commanded countless battles against pollution zones, were very agile.
Shu Tang was mesmerized.
Especially by the bluish-green veins on his hands.
For some reason, she recalled the feeling of those large hands lingering on her waist.
The kitten quickly diverted her gaze.
One, two… eventually, the entire claw machine was emptied.
The mermaid picked up the astonished kitten beside him, placing it on his shoulder, and continued forward with a dozen toys in tow.
Shu Tang really liked the roadside souvenirs, like various types of glowing ears, flying bamboo dragonflies…
Thus, the mermaid ended up carrying more and more items.
Gradually, the terrifying rain night butcher became a silent mobile shelf.
With a cat’s head perched on top.
On May 20th, there was a fireworks display, and Shu Tang directed the mermaid to the front row.
But as the crowd thickened, the spooky movie character’s ominous buff significantly decreased.
Everyone pushed forward, and Shu Tang, sitting on the mermaid’s shoulders, couldn’t see.
Suddenly, the mermaid looked towards the Ferris wheel.
The Ferris wheel at the amusement park broke down and became unusable.
This once prime viewpoint had been deserted for a year or two.
Yet, they still found themselves at the highest point on the Ferris wheel.
Shu Tang had imagined that they would watch fireworks amidst a crowded scene, taking photos side by side, and then end today’s date amidst the jostling crowd. However, she hadn’t anticipated that, probably because her date was rather unique, the ordinary date she pictured turned into something quite fantastical.
That special someone was sitting right beside her.
Expressionless, just blowing in the wind.
Broad shoulders and long legs, very pleasing to the eye.
—If he hadn’t just carried her up the Ferris wheel barehanded, Shu Tang would have found him even more attractive.
—Shu Tang felt as if her brainstem might have fallen beneath the Ferris wheel when she was being carried up by the mermaid.
Her head empty, she blew in the wind for a while.
However, Shu Tang quickly got over it, and she started to enjoy the scenery with the mermaid.
It was like the time this creature took his kitten to see the Sea of Tears.
Shu Tang also tried to show this reclusive creature how beautiful the outside world was.
They did the same thing without planning to.
And at that moment, they simultaneously realized this.
The mermaid leaned against the glass, lowering his head to gaze at her.
The night breeze was gentle.
When he lowered his head to meet her gaze—
Behind them, a heart-shaped firework blossomed.
A “bang” lit up the night sky with pink beams.
She asked, “Dear, look, isn’t it beautiful?”
She looked up at the pink fireworks, the starlight reflected in her eyes.
…
Dear Tang,
I still don’t like the bizarre world outside.
But I’ve started to fall in love with the reflection of the world in your eyes.
