"Heh, you little punk. Are you asking because you’ve discovered something?""Not exactly! Big Shot, why don’t you tell me what you know first?""I don’t have much firsthand knowledge, but the previous Big Shot told me this—back in the last century, there were sightings of mermaids in various ocean currents, especially in the Atlantic. The number of confirmed sightings was very low, and most of the captured mermaids managed to escape. The only one successfully captured was sent to A Country’s research lab, but a few days later, everyone in that lab mysteriously died, as if wiped out by some kind of virus. Since then, mermaid sightings have become even rarer. Since you’ve met the Reptilians, I assume you’d believe in the existence of mermaids too?""Whoa, wait… are we talking about Atlantis?

I’m also planning to take a trip to Antarctica.""Alright, got it! Willy, thanks for your help. By the way, any updates on the weapon repair?""Still in progress. Not sure if it can be fixed yet. You worry too much—at your age, you should be taking care of your health.""Hmph. A few more years and I’ll be retired.

Abigail’s eyes widened. Her brother was actually involved with p
