Mermaid Law

"Fei Lian refuses to eat." At the meeting, Yu Jingnian almost collapsed and covered his face with his hands. This is already the third day since Fei Lian was injured. The lack of nutrition obviously affected the healing of Fei Lian's wound, and the tail of the fish was torn open. The muscles in his body had begun to shrink and dissipated in the water. Humidity led to the growth of bacteria, and Fei Lian already had a precursor to infection.

"According to the tests in the past two days, Lilith seems to have successfully conceived. Mermaids have a very high probability of conception. Female mermaids will secrete a neurotoxin from their saliva to stimulate the male mermaid's sex drive and increase the chance of conception. Through the test, the amount Lilith injected into Fei Lian before is quite terrifying, it seems that mermaids are very resistant to this toxin." Leo automatically ignored Yu Jingnian's words, and typed the latest test results on the screen.

"I said Fei Lian doesn't eat!" Yu Jingnian angrily patted the table and stood up.

Leo glanced at Yu Jingnian, and didn't seem to be moved by it. He just said lightly, "It's obvious. I remember I once said my speculation. Mermaids don't accept food fed by humans. They hunt by themselves."

"But Fei Lian can't hunt now at all, he will die." Yu Jingnian roared.

"Jingnian, don't be impulsive, come out with me." Fearing that Leo would say something nasty again, Han Dong pulled Yu Jingnian and walked out.Yu Jingnian followed him out, his eyes were already a little moist.

Han Dong sighed softly, not knowing what to say.

"We all know about Fei Lian's situation, but Jingnian, in our eyes, Fei Lian is just a research object. His emotions, sorrows, joys, and health status are just a bunch of data in the whole research plan. Even It was his death." Seeing Yu Jingnian, Han Dong was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes turned into anger, "You may think this is cruel, but this is also your duty, as a researcher's duty. It's just that you never You didn't take research seriously from the beginning, you just enjoyed the process of being with Fei Lian." Having said this, Han Dong's voice paused, and he felt that he seemed to have overlooked something.

"Really..." Yu Jingnian was at a loss for a moment when he heard Han Dong's words. Now that he thought about it carefully, it seemed that he hadn't done any serious research since he met Fei Lian. He was curious about the performance of the mermaid, but But he never thought of writing these things into a report, and even concealed Fei Lian's unparalleled talent for language, "I... I just..." Yu Jingnian wanted to find an excuse for himself, but it seemed that nothing could make these things seem So logical.

"You don't need to go back, think about it carefully, calm down." Han Dong patted Yu Jingnian on the shoulder, turned and returned to the conference room.He was actually beating drums in his heart, he felt that Yu Jingnian was too obsessed with Fei Lian as if he was taking care of a pet cat.

Yu Jingnian walked through the corridor in a daze, he felt that he should go back to his room, but finally decided to go and see Fei Lian.

Perhaps because of the lack of energy, the mermaid incorporated himself into his own protection mechanism and slept in the constant temperature tank almost every day. Yu Jingnian hadn't spoken to him for a long time.He lay there quietly, looking very comfortable in his sleep.

"Why don't you want to eat? Shouldn't survival be your instinct?" Yu Jingnian murmured, his voice was very soft, as if afraid of waking up the mermaid.Probably because the mermaid stayed here for a long time, there was a slight fishy smell of sea water in the room, which made Yu Jingnian feel at ease.

He was too tired the past few days, almost blindly watching Fei Lian's every move, his physical condition, the speed of wound healing, and later he was anxious about the other party's hunger strike.Yu Jingnian moved a chair and sat beside Fei Lian, and slowly fell asleep.

After the meeting, Leo blocked Han Dong's way. Han Dong looked at him coldly, his face was as cold as ice.

"You seem to care about Yu Jingnian very much." Leo was still smiling, but it didn't penetrate into his eyes at all.His probing eyes disgusted Han Dong.

"This has nothing to do with you." Han Dong sneered, turned to leave, but was stopped by Leo again.

"There is a story that I really want to tell you." Leo smiled lightly, "I heard it from a senior in the former research institute. A long time ago, Eve was still alive and brought Lilith to live in the waters near Hawaii At that time, Eve was a very attractive young woman, beautiful, powerful, with fiery red scales, and liked to challenge all kinds of powerful creatures. The leader of the research team at that time... It is difficult to find his name now, we They usually call him Judas." At this point, Leo stopped, as if he was deliberately observing Han Dong's expression, and Han Dong tried his best to make himself appear as emotionless as possible.

He discovered Leo's hobby a long time ago.This lunatic likes to use various methods to stimulate him, and then appreciate his different reactions, and make various judgments and appraisals for him.Perhaps Leo's biggest regret was not studying psychology.

"One day he took Eve down with a tranquilizer gun, dragged her ashore from the sea, and committed a heinous atrocity against the merman in a dead corner where the monitors couldn't see it. This continued. It lasted at least a week until Eve started to develop resistance to the anesthesia and disemboweled him with her claws. When we found him the next morning, he was half eaten."

Even with psychological construction, Han Dong still felt a little unbelievably terrified when he heard Leo say such a scary thing in that "interesting" tone. You are probably the only one who can make up such a perverted story." Han Dong said coldly, then turned and walked outside.

Leo took his hand again and said with a smile, "Don't you believe it?"

"I'm an idiot to believe this kind of thing." Han Dong said coldly, and walked away.

"Well, I admit, it's actually made up." Leo shrugged, but the other party didn't look at him, and strode out of the conference room.

Soon, Serena came out from the corner, leaning against the wall in a charming posture, looking at Leo expectantly, "Are you coming over tonight?"

"Oh no, dear Serena, I think I will spend tonight in the laboratory." Leo stepped forward with a smile, gently bit the woman's lips, and gave her a comforting kiss.

"You're always like this." Serena scolded him coquettishly, her fingers brushing over the faintly visible scar on Leo's forehead, "I like to provoke things that shouldn't be provoked. Whether it's research subjects or people."

"Life is about challenges." Leo blinked, turned and left.

When Yu Jingnian woke up, Fei Lian was looking at him curiously through the glass cover of the thermostat.The mermaid was very weak, but she lost a lot of weight in a few days, and the muscles in her arms seemed to have shrunk.Yu Jingnian rubbed his eyes, tried to force a smile, and the other party gently touched the outer wall of the glass cover with his claws.This is their secret signal, which means that Fei Lian wants to come out.

"If I don't let you out, will you eat?" Yu Jingnian murmured, but he still pressed the button.

"Hey, it looks like I'm here just in time." Leo walked in carrying a small plastic bucket.The sound of clicking in the bucket made Fei Lian take a look.

"It's a lobster, do you like it?" Leo smiled and greeted Fei Lian, "A live lobster."

Yu Jingnian nodded wearily to Leo. He was a little nervous. For some reason, he was most afraid of Leo out of everyone. Although this cheerful-looking American was always smiling, he just let him There was an unfathomable sense of uneasiness.

"Da da..." There was a sound from the mermaid's throat. Until now, Yu Jingnian couldn't hear any difference in Fei Lian's pronunciation every time he spoke. He guessed that the hearing of human beings might not be as wide as that of mermaids.

Leo carefully lifted the lobster out of the plastic bucket. The blue body twisted wildly, which obviously attracted the attention of the mermaid. "Want to try it?" The man blinked.

Fei Lian was indifferent.

"It seems that you are not particularly hungry?" Leo laughed viciously, he threw the lobster back into the plastic bucket, and patted Yu Jingnian on the shoulder, "Don't worry, we have to trust the instinct of animal production."

Yu Jingnian nodded with a pale face, watching Leo turn and leave.

He didn't understand this man's sometimes absurd behavior, but after he left, he slowly grabbed Fei Lian's paw.The finger injured in the hunting has gradually recovered, Yu Jingnian gently grasped Fei Lian's paw, then hesitantly picked up the lobster, trying to stuff it into Fei Lian's hands.The mermaid shrank back quickly.

The lobster fell to the ground and ran around, Yu Jingnian didn't catch it, but covered his eyes in despair, he wanted to cry for no reason.Reaching out to grab Fei Lian's hand, Yu Jingnian bent down to look at the mermaid, and the other's fish tail danced for a moment, as if he was also nervous.

"Is there any way to make you eat? Tell me." Yu Jingnian's voice was soft, he touched Fei Lian's forehead, his lowered body was almost touching Fei Lian.

The mermaid's skin seems to be able to feel the heat of humans.

"Da da..." Fei Lian murmured in a low voice, but Yu Jingnian couldn't understand.So the mermaid changed the language, "Yu...Jing...Nian..." he called out.

"Well, I'm here, Fei Lian." Yu Jing replied in a young voice, "I think you must have something to say, but you don't know how to express it? Or do you have any requests? If I say, no matter what you say What do you think, as long as you are willing to eat, I will agree, what will you do?"

The mermaid obviously understood this sentence, he was slightly stunned, stopped muttering, and just looked at Yu Jingnian fixedly.

"You heard me right." Yu Jingnian stretched out his hand to comb the messy hair on Fei Lian's forehead, "As long as you are willing to eat, you can do anything."
