It’s a bit unaccustomed to be a supporting role for the first time [Quick Transmigration]

sunny.

the weather is nice today.

But for the Institute, it is simply dark clouds.

Inexplicably, there was a big explosion in the middle of the night.

It was still the monitoring room that was blown up.

This makes people speechless.

There is no way to check it.

Today's Lu Er, who rarely slept in, arrived at the research institute on time.

As soon as he entered, he was dragged by Hu Wenyue to the laboratory of D6.

It was supposed to be a friendly meeting moment, over a cup of tea or something.

However, the unexpected situation made the meeting extremely hasty and flustered.

The new boss in front of him had a cold face and no expression on his handsome face. He saw Lu Er and ordered directly, "You built the machine, you must be able to repair it, right?"

It's not a question sentence, the subtext is obvious, "If you can't fix it, you must be an idiot."

Lu Er nodded obediently.

The man standing next to Ice Cube Face was the one who stunned the mermaid with a stun gun. He was dressed in a suit and was very elite. He also had a name tag on his chest with the words "Xia Qi" printed on it.

He turned to the ice face respectfully, "Mr. Z, things are ready." Then he turned and called Lu Er, "You can start repairing."

Lu Er looked blank, "Can I ask what happened?"

Xia Qi led Lu Er to the machine, and explained: "Last night, there was an explosion in the monitoring room. After checking, it was remote control, and there was no trace. Moreover, the machine you built also had a problem, and it couldn't be opened. .” He looked solemn, “It should be for the things inside.”

He shook his head and sighed, and finally patted Lu Er on the shoulder, "Fortunately, the machine you built is relatively powerful. Once it is hacked, it will automatically block it, otherwise something serious will happen."

Lu Er also sighed, "Yeah, I'm so lucky." He was fiddling with the machine and asked curiously, "What's in it? A shark?"

Xia Qi shook his head amusedly, "No, no, you'll know when you open it, but don't be intimidated. In the next few days, you'll have to help improve the equipment here, and what happened last night can't happen a second time."

Under Lu Er's skilled operation, the machine quickly responded.

The group of armed men held a few long chains, and Xia Qi also held a gun in his hand, not a shock.

Lu Er finished his work and stepped aside. Hu Wenyue pulled him further away, "I heard that the mermaid is very vicious, so don't get too close."

Seeing that Lu Er didn't look scared at all, and his attention was on the water tank, Hu Wenyue patted him vigorously, "You should leave early at night, in case what happens last night, it will blow up your workshop, you Say what to do!"

Lu Er was helpless, "Why did you curse me?"

Hu Wenyue was still sighing, "Who the hell do you think this is? He dared to do this, a terrorist? It's too scary!"

Lu Er didn't respond, and stared at the water tank seriously.

The casing had already receded, and there was a "click" on the top of the water tank.

Did not see the shadow of the mermaid.

Xia Qi went to the side and pressed the exit button, the glass cover suddenly fell, and water gushed out along the exit.

A huge creature that came out of the water stood upright, its fish tail propped up its body, and its long hair hung on the ground.

The fins on the spine and the elbows vibrated violently, making a sound like a radar vibration.

Without the barrier of the glass cover, his deterrent power became stronger. A damp ocean smell swept through everyone's nostrils. Looking at the mysterious creature standing in the middle with a height of two meters, Xia Qi didn't respond.

Everyone just stays there, totally forgetting what they're doing.

The mermaid looked at the people surrounding him, and opened his mouth to reveal his sharp teeth. He slammed close to the man holding the chain in front of him, slashed his fingers fiercely, and blood splattered everywhere.

A knife-like mark was cut from the man's eyeballs to his abdomen.

The mermaid raised its blood-stained paw to its mouth, licked it lightly, and let out a contented grunt from its throat.

Everyone stared stiffly at the mermaid with an evil smile on his face, and only then did they really feel the danger and fear of the unknown creature.

Lu Er felt a little distressed, silently thinking that he must be starving.

The mermaid seemed to have noticed Lu Er in the corner. His eyes lit up, and the excitement was visible to the naked eye. He was going very fast, and he was about to go in the direction of Lu Er.

A shot went off.

The mermaid who was still looking at Lu Er fell to the ground in an instant, with a long needle stuck in his spine.

It is anesthesia.

Mr. Z came out from behind, threw the anesthesia gun on the ground without looking at Xia Qi, and ordered coldly, "Lock up."

Top floor meeting room.

Lu Er sat in a depressed mood, crooked and not energetic at all.

He was wearing a baseball cap, a washed and whitish T-shirt, and he was holding a bulging tool bag in his arms.

It looks very out of place with the high-end bright conference room.

Hu Wenyue sat next to her with a look of disgust, "Why are you still dressed like this? Didn't I tell you to clean up today..."

Lu Er raised his eyes listlessly, "I have a cold and don't feel well, how long do I have to stay here?"

"Don't worry, you can go to rest after Mr. Z finished." Xia Qi walked over.

Soon, Mr. Z, who did not want to be named, finally appeared in the conference room.

Hu Wenyue was about to say something when Xia Qi took her out.

Only Lu Er and Z were left in the conference room.

"I read your information, you have created a secret room before, right?" Z asked.

Lu Er: "It's just for fun, it won't be of much use."

Z's ice face showed appreciation, "It was made for fun, but no one has cracked it yet. If you do it seriously, it must be a hundred secrets without any omissions."

Lu Er smiled modestly, "I won't know until it's made."

"The D6 laboratory will be handed over to you."

Lu Er, who took over the important task, was not as excited as the others, and Z's eyes were filled with probing and habitual doubts.

Lu Er rubbed his forehead, "I have a headache, I want to ask for leave to go to the hospital."

The most clear, magnanimously approved false.

Lu Er, who took a taxi home for the first time in a hurry, trotted all the way to the mall, picked out a large bathtub, and bought a lot of salt and meat.

He spent half of the little coffers he had kept for years and bought a bunch of messy things.

I couldn't carry it by myself, so I specially called a truck to help transport it.

It's as if it's about to move.

The furnishings of the home are standard straight men's style, a few simple furniture, scattered here and there, very clean, but quite empty.

In order to make the room more comfortable, Lu Er specially bought some blankets and dolls.

After a busy afternoon, I finally sorted it out.

He lives in an all-in-one apartment. The kitchen, bedroom and living room are all connected without partitions, which makes the space seem very large.

After some tossing, the original dark gray wooden floor was covered with colorful carpets, and the empty places were also filled with toys.

A large bathtub on wheels has also been tucked into the bathroom.

The empty home instantly became warmer.

Lu Er opened the curtains, the sky was already getting dark, and at a glance, the sporadic street lights in the town looked very warm.

Lu Er, who was very satisfied with his results, entered the kitchen with great interest.

Because he was alone since he was a child, Lu Er has developed a good cooking skill. He tried his best to cook a meal full of meat and put it in a lunch box.

He didn't rest, and returned to the research institute.

When he arrived at the laboratory, Lu Er, who was researching through the agency, was not stopped by the two guards guarding the door, and he walked in with a calm expression.

The two burly men closed the door for him intimately, and continued to guard it dutifully.

The laboratory was empty, and the blood on the ground had been cleaned up, but the smell of blood had not completely dissipated.

The floor was very wet and the water from the sink kept spilling out and dripping onto the floor.

There are three huge chains hanging on both sides of the pool, one end is tied to the steel pipe, and the other end is submerged in the pool.

Lu Er didn't panic anymore, he slowly took out a small speaker from his bag, it was in the shape of a cute little penguin.

He turned on the speaker and there was a crisp "ding".

There was a layer of ripples on the surface of the pool, and it became calm again.

Lu Er connected the bluetooth and played a piece of music.

The tune is nostalgic and romantic.

The etherealness of the music box and harp, and the gentleness of the strings, surround and spread into the depths of the pool.

Lu Er took out the lunch box, and took out a small box from his pocket, which contained neatly arranged and cut fruits.

He opened the lunch box and put it by the sink. He held the fruit and began to eat in small bites, staring at the sink seriously.

After a few minutes, the water swayed even more violently.

A head popped out of the middle.

The mermaid's hunger was undisguised, and it was all shown on his face. He looked at Lu Er for a while, and then at the bowl of meat, as if hesitating which one to eat first.

Lu Er waved at him, as if to coax the child, "Do you want to eat it? It's delicious."

The mermaid seemed to have thought about it, and decided to taste the meat in the bowl first.

So he slowly swam over, with a chain around his neck, and the chains were tightly hung on his two wrists.

Because of long-term scratching, blue bruises and blood stains have appeared on it.

He touched the bowl lightly first, and found that there was no attack power, so he grabbed the meat in the bowl with his claws roughly, and began to stuff it into his mouth.

The distance is very close, a distance that can be touched by raising one's hand.

Lu Er observed him carefully, and found that his skin was very smooth, with no pores visible, as if covered with a thin film, except for the scales on the abdomen and below, his arms and back were also covered with transparent silver. White fish scales.

The ornately shaped fins hang down properly, with a relaxed look.

Lu Er looked at his face and found that there were also scales on his cheeks, but a few had fallen off and could not be seen clearly.

"My name is Lu Er, do you have a name?"

The mermaid ate very seriously, raised her head and glanced at Lu Er when she heard the question, but didn't speak.

Lu Er didn't know if he could understand, and felt that he might not be able to speak human language, so his attention was quickly attracted by his ears.

A pair of white transparent ears are like elves, pointed and long, as if they are listening to the melody of the music intently, and the ears vibrate slightly to beat the sound of ding dong.

"Isn't it nice? I really like this one." Lu Er put the fruit in front of the mermaid, sat on the ground and moved forward, getting closer to him, "It's in a movie I watched before. to the soundtrack of a girl who can't speak and a mermaid."

"The girl was originally a mermaid. She used her voice to change her legs and appeared in the human world, but because she couldn't speak, she became a marginalized person, ridiculed and discriminated against. But she has a job, and she is a cleaner of some kind of base. work."

"She is happy, but not happy."

"At this time, a group of villains caught a mermaid and locked it in the base. The girl was called to clean it. The moment she saw the mermaid, the girl seemed to have found her true self, so she rescued him. "

"Later, they fell in love. The girl grew gills, and happily returned to the sea with the mermaid, away from everything."

Lu Er asked again, "Isn't it beautiful?"

Lu Er, who hadn't expected to hear an answer, suddenly froze.

The ethereal and deep voice is like a magnetic voice coming from the deep sea, which suddenly reaches the ears, and the lingering sound penetrates into the depths of the soul, as if it is singing.

It's just that the words he said revealed a strong air of mental retardation.

"You want it too, gills."

Lu Er raised his head and stared blankly at the creature who was only an inch away from him. A faint fragrance wafted from the tip of his nose, mysterious and cold.

His double dark blue pupils seemed to contain a whole vast ocean, as deep as a vortex.

Like sirens from ancient times.

I don't want gills, I want you.

Falling at a glance, sincerely do not deceive me.
