==============================

The door of the laboratory on the fifteenth floor was closed. Ask the nurse on duty, and the nurse told them that this laboratory is the private space of the dean, and only he has the key.

"Don't you have a spare key?" Du Heng didn't give up.

"No." The nurse shook her head and said, "The dean stipulates that no one is allowed to enter that laboratory. What are you going to do?"

"The dean said that there are some materials in it that need to be shown to us." Qi Fanchen said without changing his expression.

"Dean?" Speaking of this, the nurse asked in a low voice, "Do you know where the dean is? Why is the head nurse looking for the dean everywhere today?"

When asked about the dean, Du Heng had no choice but to play dumb: "I don't know, I haven't seen the dean today."

Cang Luan walked to the door of the laboratory, looked in through the window, and said, "This laboratory is not directly under the isolation ward."

As soon as he made a sound, Qi Fanchen came over and glanced through the transparent glass on the door: "This corridor is the same as the upstairs, but the laboratory is very small."

"Indeed." Du Heng understood what he meant, "This is equivalent to the location of the monitoring room upstairs, and there is an isolation room between the upstairs ward and the monitoring room."

"There should be a door behind that bookshelf." Qi Fanchen said, "If I guessed correctly."

"There is no window in this room." Cang Luan pondered, "In this case, the window should lead to the hidden room inside."

It took Du Heng a few seconds to realize what he meant: "You want to climb the window? This is the fifteenth floor."

Qi Fanchen hurriedly said, "Can Chongming fly over to have a look?"

"Yes." Du Heng said, Gu Zi walked to the window at the end of the corridor and whistled.

"If what they are doing is really related to the sharks," Cang Luan approached Qi Fanchen and whispered in his ear, "the dean definitely doesn't want me to see the things over there."

"Judging from the current dean's attitude, he has no scruples about us." Qi Fanchen stared at Du Heng's back, but his attention was all on the people around him, "This matter may be related to the illness ten years ago. Even if we check, we can't find much after such a long time, so he is relieved."

"As far as I know, after the outbreak of the human disease, mermaids were banned from entering the land." Cangluan frowned, "If there were traces of mermaids on land ten years ago, it is impossible for them to take the initiative. Appear."

Qi Fanchen suddenly cast his eyes on him.

"If you put a merman and a human together," he said, "who would win?"

"Hmm... I don't know if what you said has a specific scope." Cang Luan pondered.

Qi Fanchen looked at him strangely: "What specific range? Mermaids are strong or weak?"

"Male mermaids are born with great strength and are companions of water." Cangluan changed the subject, looked at him and said, "But if you mean me to be with you, then I would willingly admit defeat."

"..." Qi Fanchen tilted his head, "Got it."

"Know what..."

Cang Luan wanted to continue asking, but Du Heng had already turned around and waved at them.

"How is it?" Qi Fanchen didn't look at him any more, and walked straight towards Du Heng.

"Guess what." Du Heng shrugged his shoulders and said, "The window over there was welded to death, and I don't know what was used to block it inside, but it was not transparent."

While speaking, Chong Ming flew in from the window and landed on Du Heng's shoulder.

"It doesn't look different." Du Heng squinted his eyes and looked at the laboratory. "There is a small room behind the bookshelf, and there is a table inside. The table is full of messy test tube racks, and there are two beds next to it..."

Du Heng's voice gradually weakened.

"Huh?" Qi Fanchen questioned.

"This doesn't look like a hospital bed." Du Heng's voice sank, "There are chains and handcuffs on both sides."

"Being a patient." Qi Fanchen said quickly, "It's probably a patient from back then."

"This room doesn't look like it's for patients." Chong Ming flew out of the window, Du Heng turned his head and said, "It looks like it's for detainees."

Qi Fanchen didn't speak.

"Now I have reason to doubt whether they are doing human experiments." Du Heng guessed.

"It's not that scary." Qi Fanchen secretly glanced at Cang Luan.

"The ones who want to do human experiments are probably those strangers from last night." Cang Luan said, "We have to find a way to get in."

"There is no other entrance to the whole room except this door." Du Heng said, "The glass on this door can be opened, but the window is too small, let alone people, I can't even get my head in."

When he said this, Qi Fanchen replied with certainty: "He can go in."

"Who?" Du Heng was puzzled.

Qi Fanchen pointed to Cang Luan.

Five minutes later, Du Heng, who had witnessed Cang Luan's transformation, sat silently on the bench in the corridor, somewhat suspicious of life.

"Merman?" He repeated these two words with puzzled expression on his face, "I heard that the merman clan disappeared on land many years ago. Why did he come here?"

"He said he was looking for something." Qi Fanchen paused.

"Looking for something?" Du Heng stared vigilantly at the calm Qi Fanchen, and asked, "Did he tell you what he was looking for?"

"No." Qi Fanchen said honestly, "He said he would go back when he found it."

"Then did he find it?" Du Heng asked again.

"No." Qi Fanchen said, "We have been together since Huale Plaza."

Du Heng looked at him, hesitant to speak.

"What do you want to say?" Qi Fanchen looked awkward at him.

"You may not know much about mermaids." Du Heng considered his tone, and then said, "As far as I know, mermaids reproduce much slower than humans."

Qi Fanchen didn't know why he mentioned this: "Why?"

"I just heard about it." Du Heng took a vaccination first, "Because male mermaids have much more sex, desire, and desire than humans, so they will not only find girlfriends, but also find boyfriends."

Qi Fanchen: "... Where did you hear about it?"

"I heard that I heard it, and everyone spread it like this." Du Heng glanced at the direction of the laboratory and asked him, "Did you miss anything when you were with him?"

Qi Fanchen shook his head, hesitant: "But he gave me something."

"What?" Du Heng was surprised.

Qi Fanchen didn't want to show him at first, but he couldn't resist his burning eyes, so he reluctantly took out the most unremarkable hairband among the three things.

Du Heng stared at the hairband for a long time, and finally sighed deeply: "Lao Qi, I used to perform missions with you, and I always told others that you were innocent, and some people didn't believe it."

Qi Fanchen looked at him suspiciously.

"I've told your master several times, don't push you too hard, how can young people do if they don't fall in love." Du Heng said with a regretful expression, "Emotionally, it's too simple, and it's easy to be deceived."

Qi Fanchen had no idea what he was talking about.

Du Heng looked at him with pity, as if he was looking at a young man who had lost his footing: "I don't know about the others, but I know that he lied to you about one thing."

Qi Fanchen looked at him.

"I'm afraid he has found what he was looking for." Du Heng smiled kindly.

He was about to say something, when Du Heng's cell phone rang suddenly, and immediately after that, Du Heng's hands were numb due to the constant message notifications.

Before Cang Luan went in, Qi Fanchen gave him his mobile phone to facilitate contact.It was Cang Luan who sent Du Heng a WeChat message at this moment.

"Journal?"

Du Heng clicked on the first picture, which was the title page of an old notebook. The paper was yellowed and the handwriting was smudged, and a string of dates were written on it in scrawled characters: August 2008, 8.

"12 years ago." Qi Fanchen said.

Swiping to the next picture is the first diary, but this diary is very short, basically only a few short sentences are written on each page.

[I have never seen such a beautiful creature in my life. 8.30】

[This will be a turning point in my life. 9.2]

[They are dead. 9.10】

[They are people, not things. 9.12]

[He is crazy, they are all crazy! 9.13]

[My patients all respect me as a reborn parent, but people like me are not worthy of being a parent. 9.19】

[Red Sun Orphanage. 9.21]

[Give me back my daughter! 4.7]

[Ah!Sin! 4.8]

[The source of all this is me, and I deserve death! 4.9]

[This is the only way I can redeem my sin. 5.4]

[They really didn't give up, you bastard! 3.2]

"Why didn't you write the year?" Du Heng turned to the last page, wondering, "I don't know when this was written."

"I should just remember what happened at that time." Qi Fanchen swiped his finger back and said, "There are two time turning points here, which means that the time span is at least three years."

"The handwriting on the last page is very new." Du Heng zoomed in on the picture and said, "Today is number two."

"That was written today." Qi Fanchen stared at the line, "Sure enough, I didn't give up."

"April [-]th is a bit interesting." Du Heng looked at those two sentences and recalled, "If I remember correctly, the time when the evil broke out ten years ago should be at the beginning of April."

"He really can't get away with it." Qi Fanchen slid his finger across the word atonement, and said, "That's why he cares so much about these five children."

"It seems that there is a shocking secret hidden here." Du Heng's eyes glowed.

"From my point of view." Qi Fanchen turned to the first diary again, and said in a deep voice, "The beautiful creature he mentioned should be the mermaid."

Du Heng has never seen a real shark, he showed a puzzled expression: "What do you mean?"

While talking, the phone rang again.

Cang Luan sent a voice: "You can pick me up now."

After a while, Xin Jing found the three people on the fifteenth floor.

"Those children are really improving!" He said excitedly, "They can already eat!"

"That's good." Qi Fanchen glanced at Cang Luan, and found that he had been in a bad mood since he came out.

"The parents said they would like to thank you very much!" Xin Jing said with a smile, "Do you want to go up and have a look?"

"Just go." Cang Luan looked at Du Heng.

"Okay." Du Heng was about to follow Xin Jing upstairs.

"Wait a minute, please inquire about something." Cang Luan stopped Xin Jing.

"What? You ask." Xin Jing nodded politely.

"Does the principal have any children?" Cang Luan asked.

"No." Xin Jing said, "Let's not talk about the child, the dean has always lived alone, and now that he's gone, it's useless to contact anyone..."

After the two left, Qi Fanchen remembered something: "Just upstairs, the nurse also said that the headmaster has no wife and no children."

"But it says in the diary to return my daughter to me." Cang Luan lowered her voice.

They went back to the tenth floor and inquired about a few patients, only to find that the medical staff in this hospital had a high turnover, and even the experts who attended the consultation all the year round were basically recruited from other hospitals in the past few years.

"The blood was changed after the accident." Back in the room, Qi Fanchen said, "It seems that we must find the dean to find out what happened that year."

"I'm afraid it's not easy to find him." Cang Luan looked unhappy, "What I saw was not so much his diary, but a few words mixed in a large amount of experimental data. This book should be very important to him. But he didn't take it away."

Qi Fanchen didn't speak.

"In addition, I found something." Cang Luan paused, and said, "The small room Du Heng saw should be used to detain the mermaids. As soon as I entered, I could smell a very faint smell of blood. human blood."

Qi Fanchen's eyes moved.

Cangluan said before that he smelled a strange smell in the hospital, and he comforted him by saying that it was the smell of disinfectant, but now it seems that it should come from that room, which belongs to the smell of mermaids.

"So those chains..." Qi Fanchen didn't continue, but both of them knew it well.

The purpose of those strangers coming here is obviously the sealed box in Qi Fanchen's pocket, which contains the mermaid's blood.

"Twelve years ago, mermaids had the same infectious disease as you humans." Cang Luan leaned against the window sill, his figure stretched to the floor by the sunlight outside the window, "There must have been mermaids who came here at that time, and then they were killed. Locked up as an experimental sample."

"Judging from the words in his diary, those mermaids died later." Qi Fanchen unconsciously lowered his voice, "I suspect that those who came last night should be the members who participated in the experiment."

Cang Luan just looked at him quietly.

A line of words flashed through his mind, and he subconsciously said, "Red Sun Orphanage... sounds very familiar."

"You know him?" Qi Fanchen was a little surprised.

Cang Luan looked at him for a moment, then finally shook his head: "Maybe I have heard of it somewhere."

Qi Fanchen was silent for a moment, then stood up and said, "I'm going to see Master and give him the sample."

"I'm with you." Cang Luan looked at him.

Qi Fanchen was about to say yes, but for some reason, he suddenly remembered what Du Heng had said to him upstairs just now.

Seeing him standing still, Cang Luan walked up to him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qi Fanchen raised his head to look at him, the words in his heart turned around half a circle, and finally said: "I want to ask you something."

"What?" Cang Luan stopped.

"Do you mermaids have any particularity about giving things to others?" After Qi Fanchen asked, he suddenly felt a little nervous.

"What's the matter?" Cang Luan saw him biting his lower lip subconsciously, and his eyes fixed there.

"It's nothing." Qi Fanchen shook his head, seeing that he really had no other intentions, he thought to himself that he seemed to be thinking too much.

"I've heard such a sentence before, I don't know if it's what you're thinking of." Cang Luan's words caught Qi Fanchen's attention again.

Cangluan saw him biting his lower lip subconsciously again, his heart was tickled, and the words on his lips changed: "There is a saying in our clan that in the past, in order to lure the mermaid to live with him, human beings would put The sharks steal and hide their things, so that the sharks will take the initiative to ask for them, and then develop feelings for them.”

Qi Fanchen went over his words twice in his head, but he didn't understand what he meant.

Seeing his confusion, Cangluan lowered her head to his ear, and said with a smile, "So Qiqi stole my things and wants to be with me?"

Qi Fanchen was obviously shocked by these words: "Is this a human speaking? Your words are obviously forced!"

"I'm not human." Cang Luan chuckled, "But you did take my things, shouldn't you be responsible for me?"

Qi Fanchen was silent for a moment, and with his heart beating out of rhythm, he suddenly wanted to ask Du Heng if all the sharks were rascals like Cang Luan.
