Chapter 375: Daily Life · Kesuye Gets a Little Pet of His Own
Kesuye had grown a tail.
Of course, both his whale form and mermaid form already had tails, so the “growing a tail” mentioned here specifically referred to his human form.
It all stemmed from an accident.
Remember the lithium mine built between the gas station and downtown Micano?
During Everly’s time at university, an underground ruin was discovered beneath the lithium mine. The mine owner secretly damaged the ruins, causing the monster sealed within to escape. It not only wreaked havoc throughout the mine and ate many of the miners, but also broke into downtown Micano and went on a rampage.
In the end, it took the combined efforts of the movie’s male and female protagonists and the military to successfully kill the monster and put an end to the disaster.
Afterward, McMurkin Mining Company withdrew from Micano. A wire fence was erected around the mine, and the site was taken over by the U.S. military.
Based on Everly’s experience, this was where a horror movie would normally end.
The reason they had to leave a loose end by having the U.S. military take over the site was simply to lay the groundwork for some vague, hypothetical sequel.
