Mermaid Law

After Chu Anduo left, for a long time, the atmosphere in the research institute was very rigid, and everyone fell into a strange circle of "I don't know when something will happen". He seemed unusually calm in the chaos.Leo's anger reached the extreme, he led his team to collectively "strike" in the name of silent mourning for his companions, leaving only old Chen scrambling to rearrange the schedule.

Thus, Yu Jingnian had the opportunity to work the night shift by himself.

He sat alone in the monitoring room and opened the hidden camera by the small lake.Fei Lian was sitting by the lake, how many nights he was like this, sitting by the lake looking up at the starry sky, his eyes were full of broken stars.Yu Jingnian could almost read the melancholy temperament in Fei Lian's eyes.He was very conflicted in his heart, too many things happened these days, which dilute what happened by the small lake, Yu Jingnian felt his stomach twitching, and his heart suddenly beat faster and faster.

He couldn't help standing up, swallowed nervously, turned off the camera by the lake, and walked out of the room lightly.

An hour ago, it had just rained around the island, and the soil was abnormally muddy. Yu Jingnian walked upstream along the path until he vaguely saw the figure of a mermaid among the leaves.

The other party's hearing was sharp, so he spotted him early on, the fish tail violently fiddled with it, hitting the lake, splashing water, and wetting Yu Jingnian's clothes.Yu Jingnian smiled wryly.

Fei Lian made a "da da" sound angrily, and then slowly rubbed into the water.

"Wait a minute." Yu Jingnian hurried over and grabbed Fei Lian's arm. The mermaid's skin was slippery, and Yu Jingnian had to use some strength to hold him back. "There's a pinhole camera here..." He blurted out, but the mermaid didn't care. reaction.

Yu Jingnian sighed dejectedly. He imagined this situation. Although Fei Lian could understand what he said, he probably didn't know about the "pinhole camera".

At this moment, Fei Lian turned over suddenly, and swept Yu Jingnian's knee with his huge tail. The young man felt a force coming, and he staggered and fell into the water.

The next moment, the mermaid rushed forward and pressed him to the shallows by the lake.

"Wait a minute!" Yu Jingnian pushed Fei Lian's shoulder, the cold and comfortable touch made him reluctant to part.

"Da da... da da..." Fei Lian's paws gently slid across Yu Jingnian's neck, with an obvious threat.

Yu Jingnian didn't know why, but wanted to laugh, "Listen to me first..." He gently pushed Fei Lian's shoulder again.

The mermaid finally obediently turned over and sat beside Yu Jingnian.

"Well, pinhole camera, you don't understand the word, right? It's a small machine that can present everything that happens here on a large glass plate, so you can't do messy things, you know?" Yu Jingnian tried his best to explain, Fei Lian looked at him with a puzzled look in his eyes, and nodded slightly after a while.

He seemed to understand what Yu Jingnian meant, and never approached him again, just looking at him like this, his fish tail gently patted the water surface.

But Yu Jingnian felt that the mermaid seemed to be much quieter than before. This kind of quietness did not refer to the surface, but Fei Lian's heart.

He calmed down, stayed for a while and then reluctantly stood up, "I'm leaving, I'll come back in a few days, don't wait for me here every day, go back and rest."

The mermaid grabbed his hand, Yu Jingnian looked at him in embarrassment.

They stared at each other in the dark, Fei Lian tried to open his mouth, then closed it again, and it took him a long time to say two words, "I miss you..."

The blunt tone seemed to be completely different from the way humans pronounce it. Yu Jingnian barely heard what he said, and he squatted down again after a while, and asked softly, "What?"

"Miss you……"

"I miss you too." Yu Jingnian's eyes felt inexplicably hot. He put his arms around the mermaid's neck, expressing his emotions in a human way, and the mermaid hugged him back.

After a while, Fei Lian took the initiative to push him away, swam into the lake, and quickly disappeared on the lake.Yu Jingnian stood by the lake, a little disappointed, until the mermaid reappeared, slowly came ashore again, and handed over the things in his hand.

It's a starfish, the most common kind of orange starfish, with a furry surface and a little hard.

Yu Jingnian laughed. He grabbed the little starfish and said, "Thank you."

Fei Lian also smiled at him, and plunged back into the lake again.

This time, the mermaid never appeared again.

Yu Jingnian let out a soft breath and walked towards the research institute.

The monitoring room was still empty, Yu Jingnian put the starfish in his pocket, there were no traces of mermaids anywhere on the screen, he guessed that Fei Lian and Lilith must be hiding in the hole behind some coral reef.

They couldn't install cameras there, and they didn't know the movements of the mermaids. This has always been a point of great dissatisfaction for Mr. Chen.Mermaids hide at night and come out during the day. They have never known the life and state of this creature at night.

Just staring at the calm sea until early in the morning, Yu Jingnian stretched his waist, nodded and said hello to his shift colleagues, and then went back to his room to sleep.He habitually put his hands in his pockets, and his fingers touched the edge of the starfish, so he couldn't help laughing.

A few days later, Leo finally ended the "silence", he promoted a new assistant, other than that, everything returned to normal.Yu Jingnian was still a little "frightened", he didn't know why, he always felt that Leo looked at him with a meaningful expression, as if he knew something.

He blamed it on his own guilt.

Lilith's belly grew bigger day by day, and soon they found that the female mermaid began to "stay at home", and they rarely saw Lilith on the screen in the monitoring room, only Fei Lian became more and more busy. To hunt, drag the whole shark back to the cave.

"I think we should put a camera in the cave anyway," suggested one researcher.

"Well, our next topic is mainly the process of female mermaids giving birth to offspring under the protection of males. Now we can't see the situation of female mermaids at all. It's really not possible." Old Chen nodded in agreement, "Xiao Han , help me make a report to the military, and ask them to provide a remote-controlled robot for underwater operations, the smaller and safer the better, and put the camera into the hole."

Han Dong adjusted his glasses, "I understand."

"It feels like peeping into other people's privacy." A researcher couldn't help but mutter.

Mr. Chen laughed, "Boy, it's all for science. Besides, it's a mermaid. Do you think this is a monitor in the toilet to spy on your wife taking a bath?"

Mr. Chen's rare witty words made everyone present feel ashamed. This time, the atmosphere in the institute was too depressing. The rare smile at this moment made everyone feel a little more relaxed. Only Yu Jingnian frowned, and at the end He bowed his head and said nothing.

Han Dong looked at him understandingly, and after the meeting was over, he asked while the two were walking towards the dormitory, "Still feel like peeping into the mermaid's privacy?"

Yu Jingnian smiled wryly, "I treat them like human beings." He said frankly.

"Yeah, you saved us at your own risk. To some extent, you are more friendly than humans." Han Dong said with some emotion, "But there is no way. Jingnian, you can't see through many things. In fact, Many people in this institute can't see through it, but Old Chen knows that he asked me to keep an eye on you."

"Why?" Yu Jingnian was a little surprised.

"Mr. Chen is not worried that you are getting too close to the mermaid, but that you are serious." Han Dong sighed, "To be honest, the most important part of the entire mermaid project is no longer on this island. The method of leaving may also have something to do with this. Mr. Chen received news that Beijing has completed the extraction of A atoms from the saliva, blood and hair samples left by the mermaid, and has begun to use A atoms to conduct conventional nuclear tests. Once successful , our research direction will completely switch to mermaid breeding."

"What do you mean?" Yu Jingnian was stunned.

"Currently, it is difficult to directly extract A atoms from seawater with the technology we have, but the internal organs of mermaids have a very high probability of extraction. This is like how humans extracted bile from bear bile for medicine hundreds of years ago. The military The meaning is that I want to try to use A atoms to create a new generation of nuclear bomb technology. No radiation, amazing destructive power, and more abundant resources..." Han Dong's voice became lower and lower, and finally it was like a whisper in the middle of the night.

"How... can it be... like this..." Yu Jingnian was stunned, his back felt chilly, he couldn't believe it, what he heard was the truth.

Han Dong seemed to have expected this, made a gesture in a low voice, and then said... "I knew you would react like this. At present, the US seems to have mastered the technology of removing internal organs, but mermaids are too precious. I haven't started to use Lilith's internal organs to extract A atoms in large quantities, but if Lilith is successfully produced this time, the next step is likely to pump a little Feilian's bile."

According to the previous American research, the "gull" of the mermaid is the place where the concentration of A atoms in the mermaid's body is the highest. The significance of such extraction is self-evident.

Yu Jingnian understood that Han Dong was vaccinating himself. How could a researcher who felt uncomfortable even placing a camera in the cave where the mermaid lived could tolerate such behavior.

Yu Jingnian clenched his fists tightly, at that moment the idea of ​​letting Fei Lian escape came into his mind.How could he have the heart to watch Fei Lian being treated so cruelly?

"Hey, why are you two standing and chatting in the corridor?" A sudden voice interrupted the conversation between Han Dong and Yu Jingnian, and at some point, Leo was already standing less than two meters away from the two of them.

Yu Jingnian was startled, and almost staggered back a step, but it was Han Dong who held him back and managed to stand still.

"Do you need to take care of what the two of us are going to do?" Han Dong narrowed his eyes and looked at him coldly.

"Of course not, but I have something interesting to show you." Leo glanced at Yu Jingnian, showed a meaningful smile, and then said to Han Dong.

"What if I refuse?"

"It doesn't matter, but I think you will regret it." Leo shrugged indifferently, walked around Han Dong and Yu Jingnian, and walked to his room.

He changed the room now, because when Serena's room was destroyed, half of his wall was blown up by the way.The other party's grasp of the bomb's energy was very precise. The things in his room were almost undamaged, and only the laptop followed into the ruins.But Leo quickly asked for another one.

Han Dong watched the back of Leo leaving, hesitated for a while, and finally said to Yu Jingnian, "Go back first."

Yu Jingnian nodded with a pale face, he looked at Han Dong worriedly, "Be careful."

"Don't worry, he won't eat me." Han Dong laughed.
