After lunch, Chu Qiu followed Luo Jin all the way back to the exhibition hall where Nan Zhu was located. At this time, there were already more people, pointing and pointing in front of the thick glass wall, and the quiet exhibition hall was surrounded by noise again. human voice.

Luo Jin frowned and stared at the past, and from a distance, in order to amuse his children, an uncle was banging on the glass vigorously, trying to attract the mermaid's attention, so that it could come closer to amuse the children.Even if he knew that the facilities were complete, with that person's strength, it would not cause any harm to the glass, and Nan Zhu, who was used to performing in front of everyone, would not be easily intimidated, but this uncivilized way of treating Nan Zhu would arouse Luo Jin's disgust.

Luo Jin, who was standing on the high platform, was going to stop the uncle's movement, but was stopped by Chu Qiu, and said, "Don't worry about the tourists, the trainer, just take care of your mermaid." Follow Chu Qiu's gesture and look over , I saw the volunteer of the aquarium walking towards the uncle, and a little girl dressed as a middle school student who also visited the aquarium was also stopping the man from moving.

"I……"

"And don't cast all your eyes on Nan Zhu, we still have more important things to do now." As he spoke, he raised his jaw toward the entrance of the small exhibition hall on the side. Being reminded by this, Luo Jin immediately realized that A middle-aged man who has been 'wanted' for a long time.

Unkempt, but wearing a worn-out long denim jacket in the hot summer, it also looks very weird in the air-conditioned and extremely low-temperature aquarium.

"You wait first!" Stretching out his hands, he pulled Luo Jin who had stepped back to his side, and whispered in his ear: "This can't work, I'll go downstairs first, and then in a minute you will come to the door from the door over there." Go outside, I will go through the staff passage on the other side, so I can block him in the stairwell over there and ask him clearly."

"He can run? Why did he run? It's because of you that the man hasn't appeared for so long?"

"Ahem, don't worry about it so much, I just asked someone to convey the idea that he should pay for the damage to the object before, and he ran away."

"Understood." After agreeing, Luo Jin didn't ask any more questions, and quietly went down the steps after Chu Qiu turned to leave, but the two who were anxious to find out the truth didn't notice the other line of sight.

Nan Zhu had noticed Luo Jin in the distance a long time ago, and with the exclamation of tourists, he swam to a place close to the glass, put his hands on the glass and looked straight over there, and immediately saw Chu Qiu dragging Luo Jin to the place In his arms, he narrowed his dark green eyes in dissatisfaction.

Luo Jin, who was in real 'danger' and didn't know it yet, carefully went down the steps and stood at the blue light on the side of the wall, silently counting the seconds and estimating the time of action.The man didn't notice him, and didn't know that he had become the target of the two trainers. He just looked around and walked in step by step, as if he was looking for and planning something.

After half a minute, Luo Jin took a step forward and approached, but unexpectedly, the middle-aged man who had been looking at Nan Zhu suddenly turned his head and stared at him, and ran away after realizing the current state, which was unexpected by Chu Qiu. Outside, they ran in the opposite direction and squeezed along the direction of the flow of people.

Dazed for a moment, he looked into the glass and met Shang Nanzhu's gaze. It turned out that it was the mermaid's gaze that leaked his whereabouts.

Before she had time to react, Luo Jin avoided the crowd, stared at the flying figure, kept groping her body, looking for her phone, intending to contact Chu Qiu, but because the man was running too fast, she had to Abandoned the idea for now.

"Hey, where are you going, Mu Jin?"

"I forgot to take something." Stopped by a colleague halfway, Luo Jin hastily defended and had to slow down.After all, this matter has not been explored and understood, and after discussing with Chu Qiu, he didn't feel the need to publicize it immediately, so he had to pretend in front of unrelated people, and after perfunctory, he saw that the man had turned to another exhibition hall.

I had to delay some time, and when Luo Jin entered the exhibition hall, there was no sign of the man. She looked around unwillingly, but there was no sign of that man except for groups of smiling tourists.

After carefully looking around and still not finding anything, she sighed and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Luo Jin blamed herself for losing the opportunity to further understand the man's plan due to her own mistakes. She really felt sorry for Nan Zhu. There was nothing he could do about the situation, and he just missed the slim hope. The strong sense of self-blame made him clenched his fists tightly.

The shortness of breath brought about by running gradually calmed down, Luo Jin closed her eyes, turned around, calmed down, and finally had time to pull out her phone and tell Chu Qiu, who was still full of expectations, about this regret.

Avoiding the flow of people, walked to the dark aisle, looked for Chu Qiu's number from the recent contacts, and intuitively looked back, the phone that was dialing the number was thrown to the ground.

"It's you!"

"Don't, don't get excited!" The sloppy man grabbed Luo Jin's arm and dragged him into the empty corridor: "Don't rush to reject me, I just told you one thing."

"You're right, I asked you."

"About the mermaid?"

"About Nanzhu."

Almost at the same time, Luo Jin's words made the man stunned for two seconds, and then he laughed heartily. The exaggerated voice immediately spread, and the crazy laughter hit the eardrums. It was not at all uncomfortable, and he could even smell the man's mouth. A stench in it.

The seemingly thin and weird man was so powerful that Luo Jin shook off his palm: "Don't laugh, you messed around in Nanzhu's stadium and knocked down my mobile phone. I'm afraid you don't want Chu Qiu to talk about what you want to say." You know."

"Hmph, it's true that one generation is not as good as the next generation, because he is even more unreasonable. It's okay, you're right, don't contact him yet, come with me, trainer, you need to know some important things first, and, You just have to trust me."

Nodding for some reason, Luo Jin didn't make a clear response, and followed the man two steps away, staring at the man's back very cautiously, and followed him to a remote storage room.

"Why do you have the key inside the aquarium?" Seeing the man opened the door of the storage room a few times and turned on the light inside, Luo Jin asked with a frown.

"I don't have a key, but it's easy to open the door." He lifted his foot in, walked to the end, and after indicating that he would not do anything, watched Luo Jin leaning against the door to examine himself for a long time before closing the door.

"Actually, you don't need to be so guarded against me. My name is Lu Que, and I'm very happy to cooperate with you." The man stretched out his right hand, but Luo Jin didn't intend to shake it back, and withdrew his hand without any embarrassment. Lu Que continued: " First of all, you have to know that my plan is for the mermaids all over the world, just like you, I also like their kind of creatures very much."

"Secondly, thanks to your even more unreasonable companion, my plan has received more detailed and reliable supplements, giving me a greater chance to succeed at the first attempt. Of course, I also need you, a relatively cute trainer, Come and help me finish."

"I'm here to help?" Repeated, seeing the man solemnly nodding his head was a bit inconceivable: "I'm a staff member of the aquarium, just an ordinary trainer, what can I do for you? And why didn't Chu Qiu know about this?"

"Don't worry, young man." Lu Que curled up the corners of his mouth, opened it to the maximum arc, reached out to support the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said: "Our plan is imminent, it's crazy, and it's also very challenging. , listen to me tell you our latest information."

"As you know, your mermaid still has two years to live... No, there are still one year and four months left, it can't be close to two years, the fourth month is halfway through now ..."

"you…"

"Of course I know it clearly. I was in a hurry last time. It seems that I didn't have time to tell you that I used to be a high-level executive in a scientific research institute? Of course I know the ages of those beautiful creatures. My brain is very clear." Scratching the side of the ear Hair, and nodded his forehead again, Lu Que's tone was unavoidably boastful, and suddenly changed the subject: "It's just that it's different now, whether it's me or Nan Zhu."

"What... what's wrong? Is this related to the mermaid age limit you mentioned?"

Asked in doubt, Lu Que did not respond immediately, and continued after seeing the anxiety in Luo Jin's eyes: "Yes, now someone has discovered the wrong data I left on purpose, Nan Zhu and Chi Wan, they really The number of years was discovered, and it is estimated that it will be taken away in two months."

"What did you say?" Hearing the sudden and sharp shortening of the so-called number of years, Luo Jin's head was buzzing: "What do you mean? Isn't there still a year and a half left? What's wrong? Tell me!"

"Why are young people so excited? In fact, it's okay. Their group of useless people is wrong. If you ask me, Nan Zhu should be sent back now, take out the things that should be taken, and euthanize him. Hey!" Collar, after Lu Que got angry, he laughed because of Luo Jin's appearance.

"What is euthanasia? It doesn't mean that... it is sent back now? It doesn't mean that the mermaid will be 25 years old..."

"You see, the 25-year-old and so on are all calculated by scientific research institutes. Although they have lasted for many years, ordinary people don't know their calculation methods." Lu Que ignored Luo Jin's sluggish appearance, and continued on his own: "Actually , this is just a way of predicting the true maturity of mermaids, just like the ripening of fruits has nothing to do with lifespan."

"The lifespan of mermaids is probably longer than that of humans, but in the human world, no one has lived that long, and they have lived to the point where they deserve to die. Who makes the things in these mermaids useful to humans? Like bear bile and ivory, except that the things in the mermaid's body have more special uses and are more precious."

"Unfortunately, in the information age, mermaids, a species that has been legendary since ancient times, have attracted much attention. We have to pretend to put them in the aquarium. Anyway, immature mermaids can't do anything, so there is nothing to worry about."

"And if I didn't deliberately leave the wrong data to disturb the judgment, your little mermaid would never have survived until now. Scientists, no matter what, they have to estimate the worst result to reduce losses. No matter what, the mermaid will truly 'mature' Take him away a month before."

"Heh, having said so much, why should I believe you? Since you said that you are from the scientific research institute, the level of confidentiality of this kind of thing must be very high. Why would you tell me? And mermaids are so useful, why should you tell me?" Put it in the aquarium?" Luo Jin stepped back with a trembling tone, trying to calm down, he still had doubts about the truth he learned after waiting for a long time.

"Because we all like mermaids, if you want to save mermaids, you can only trust me, otherwise, do you have other ways?"

"As for why the mermaids are put in the aquarium, scientific research projects already require a lot of funds. How can there be so much spare money to serve these mermaids? The probability of catching them is low. You know the trainers, they are too difficult to raise, and the living environment They are demanding and eat a lot.”

Lu Que smiled, and seemed to have achieved his goal and saw a satisfactory result: "In a few days, you will know why the people in the scientific research institute set that deadline and took away the mermaid before the deadline. "

"Having said so much, what exactly is your plan? Even if I agree, what can I do?" Luo Jin, who had assumed too much 'truth' for a while, felt a little uncomfortable, and this person didn't want Chu Qiu to know, it's okay to be gone. The person sharing the burden can only rely on himself, which makes him want to know what the man is planning and what role he plays in the man's plan.

After hearing Luo Jin's question, Lu Que's eyes flashed greedily, and after swallowing, he said hastily, "It's very simple, just sacrifice a Nan Zhu to save the whole world's mermaid."

"As for you..." The man stuck out his tongue and hooked the corners of his mouth, then pushed his eyes, and continued excitedly: "To kill Nanzhu."
