She floated horizontally in the water, her bright eyes gazing into Nolan's dual-colored eyes, one red and the other blue.
Her expression held nothing but coldness, making Nolan unable to utter a single word, so he simply sat there, silently and unmoving at all.
But his eyes soon trailed away from her face and looked behind her, noticing the long blue fish tail beneath her waist. He quickly realized she was a mermaid.
"What are you?" she asked, her voice strangely contrasting with her cold expression.
Nolan was about to respond when he saw her suddenly turn her head away from his face and prepare to swim off while saying,
"You probably can't hear me, anyway..."
He could feel an unfamiliar sense of despair and raised an eyebrow.
'Hey system, did you hear what she said?' he asked.
[She didn't say anything. She just moved her lips and swam away...] the system replied.
