Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 251 Hell on Earth

The boy ate one pill and stopped eating. No matter how Xu Weiwei persuaded him, he would not eat any more. Instead, he advised her: "Please keep this little food carefully. Snacks are never provided here, and the portions are very small. Food is not easy to get, let alone something so delicious."

Xu Weiwei took her hand back, "Don't they feed you enough?"

The boy nodded. "Yes, we only get two meals a day, morning and night. Each meal is a small fish the size of a palm, for fear that we will get full and cause trouble."

No wonder... No wonder the mermaids here are so listless and look so weak.

"Where is this place? Do you know what they want to do by locking up so many mermaids here?" Xu Weiwei asked, looking into the boy's eyes.

This question was like poking the boy's trachea, and immediately made him indignant. His eyes were full of anger, and he said word by word: "Pian!"

"It's one thing for us to pull it out by ourselves, that's our own will! But they can't force us to stay here and hurt us! That's too much!"

"How do you know? Don't you understand human language?" Xu Weiwei asked curiously.

The boy pointed, and Xu Weiwei looked in the direction of the next cage, where a green mermaid was sitting on the ground with her back against the iron railing. It was a lighter shade of dark green than Xiao's, and looked like the color of a lawn.

Sensing something was wrong, the mermaid slowly turned around and gave them a guiltily smile.

Xu Weiwei then realized that someone next door had been eavesdropping on their conversation. It wasn't that she didn't see the mermaid, but she thought he was sleeping there, after all, he had been motionless since she opened her eyes.

It's too pretentious...

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation."

"His name is Green. He looks very short, like a child, but he is actually an adult. He is just underdeveloped, so he has always been small." The boy introduced.

Xu Weiwei couldn't help but look at her with sympathy. Suddenly she felt that she was not so wronged. There was someone here who was even more miserable than her.

"His family lives in the main city. His mother is an employee in the library and his father is a teacher. So he can speak interstellar language and understand what those people say. He was kidnapped in the children's restroom and has been here for a month."

Green couldn't hold back his smile, and he regretted it deeply. Why did he say so much... This guy has no control over his mouth, he just blurts out everything.

When she heard the word children's restroom, Xu Weiwei couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing, apologizing while laughing.

Green said magnanimously that it was nothing.

Xu rubbed her face and turned to the older brother. "Well, I haven't asked you what your name is. I've been talking for so long, but I still don't know your name. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Selvie. You can just call me Wei'er or Weiwei."

"Oh, my name is Haisang and my sister's name is Haikui." said the boy.

Xu smiled slightly. They were all names of marine creatures. Their parents were quite talented. They sounded nice and were easy to remember.

"It's a cute name." Xu Weiwei praised.

Haisang blushed. She must be talking about her younger sister, right? She must be... He will become a male in the future. How can a male be associated with cuteness...

"By the way, how is your mother? Is her illness still okay?" Xu Weiwei suddenly remembered.

When talking about their mother, sister Haikui immediately became sad, and Haisang also became depressed, but still cheered up and said: "I gave the medicine you sent to mother, and she said she felt much better and the wound didn't hurt anymore. We also used the money you gave us to buy food to bring back."

"The food should have been eaten. I don't know how she is now, but most of the money is left at home. Even if she can't catch fish, she can still come down to buy food..."

Haisang's voice was trembling. Xu Weiwei turned away.

Having lost his father at a young age, his mother was ill, and his sister was still very young, Hai Sang became the pillar of the family. But he was still a child, and he must have been very scared and helpless when he encountered all this. Even so, he had to play the role of a calm adult to protect his sister.

Xu Weiwei didn’t know whether they could get out alive, but if the sky fell, there would be someone tall to hold it up, and now she was that tall person.

"Didn't I tell you? My dad is very powerful. He kills without blinking an eye. He has more than 10,000 people under his command. He can punch through the ceiling here with one punch."

Hai Sang was stunned. "Really? You are kidding. Does he really take care of so many people? We may not even have 50,000 mermaids on our planet Mengmed."

"Really? You'll know when he comes looking for you." Xu Weiwei said seriously.

“So powerful…?” Haisang asked doubtfully.

Although he felt that Xu Weiwei was exaggerating, Haisang still felt relieved after hearing her say that. If her father was half as good as she said, maybe they could be saved.

"That's right."

The three mermaids looked up at Xu Weiwei at the same time.

"Can you tell me more about the situation here?"

Green hesitated. What he heard was very cruel, and what he told Hai Sang was only part of it. We have to give them some hope, right? Just when he was about to evade the question, Xu Weiwei said first, "I want to hear the truth."

The little girl in front of me clearly looks very childish and her voice is soft and thin, but her eyes reveal a reliability and calmness that is inconsistent with her appearance, making people want to trust her.

Green rubbed his head roughly as if to vent his anger, then said in self-abandonment: "This is what you need to hear, don't cry later."

"No." Xu Weiwei smiled broadly.

"You know our scales can be sold for money, right?"

Xu nodded slightly.

"Normally we would rescale them every 35 years, but by then the scales would have been worn out and couldn't be sold for a good price. So these people came up with a good idea."

"Catch us when we are young and raise us like chickens. This way, we don't have to wait so long and can harvest a lot of high-quality goods."

"It's not quite accurate to say we are raising chickens, because when chickens grow to a certain weight they will be killed for meat, but we will stay in this dark cage for our entire lives, and we will never see the sun again until the moment we die."

As Green spoke, he observed Xu Weiwei's expression, and only continued speaking after seeing that her emotions did not fluctuate much.

"There is another way to get rid of it faster, which is to be made into a specimen."

"Every few days, people wearing black robes will come in here accompanied by the big boss. Those people are wrapped tightly from head to toe. In fact, they are some perverts with strange hobbies. Once they are selected by them, they will be taken out and killed immediately."

Some mermaids who could hear them were so scared that they started crying, but they were afraid that their crying would attract people, so they cried in a very suppressed way.

The faint sobbing sound floated in this empty underground prison, making Xu Weiwei a little dazed for a moment, unable to tell whether it was the human world or hell.
