Mermaid Law

After the meeting, Yu Jingnian went to see the mermaid out of habit.The glass box in which the mermaid is trapped is only 1.5mX1.5m in size, which is really small for a mermaid.

"It's uncomfortable to be locked up here." Yu Jingnian squatted down against the glass box, the mermaid seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, and ignored him at all.Yu Jingnian smiled and knocked on the glass, watching the mermaid suddenly opened its eyes, and its fins spread out again.He took two steps back in frustration, wondering why the mermaid's attitude towards him suddenly changed.

"Come to see him again, don't you want to eat?" Han Dong seemed to have expected that he would be here, with a lunch box in his hand, and handed it to Yu Jingnian, "Eat first, and then have a good sleep. This guy is out in the short term." Don’t come, you can watch it whenever you want.”

Yu Jingnian was stunned for a moment, "How long is the teacher planning to keep him in prison?"

"I knew you didn't listen, or I would have jumped up a long time ago." Han Dong smiled and shook his head, "Given the danger of this guy, Mr. Chen means that we will wait for the US to send support experts over before we proceed." The next step is to discuss. I heard that Lao Mei has cooperated extraordinarily this time and offered to share academic achievements with us, and combined with this guy's attack power like a fort, I guess the matter may be more serious than I guessed before."

"What do you mean by that?" Yu Jingnian couldn't understand Han Dong's hint, so he couldn't help asking.

"You, don't bother to study your fish every day." Han Dong rolled his eyes, but he didn't explain the matter clearly, he just poked Yu Jingnian's head casually, "Let's eat, you idiot."

Han Dong is seven or eight years older than Jingnian Yu. In terms of seniority, he can be regarded as Yu Jingnian's "teacher uncle". His research direction is mainly the evolution of marine life. Because he is a rare young man in the research institute, his relationship with Jingnian Yu It's quite good, and has always taken good care of this "nephew".

Those who do scientific research are stretching their stomachs. After eating a meal, they don't know where to eat the next meal. When they have a meal, they naturally put all their strength into their stomachs.Yu Jingnian looked at the box of lunch, thinking that he was going to die, and broke the disposable chopsticks. In less than 5 minutes, he cleaned up the box of lunch, took a sip of mineral water in a hurry, and the battle was over.

"Okay, let's look at your fish. I'm going to test the blood samples and hairs collected. Also, although the glass is already the hardest, before you make sure, you should pay attention. Don't be afraid of [-], just in case. " Han Dong knew Yu Jingnian's personality, so he took the empty lunch box and instructed him carefully.

"I know this. I said Han Dong, you are getting more and more troublesome." Yu Jingnian recovered a little strength, made fun of Han Dong, and ran to the glass box to observe the movements of the mermaid.

Han Dong didn't bother with him, shook his head, turned around and left.

After all this tossing, the mermaid had already woken up, and was looking at Yu Jingnian vigilantly.

Yu Jingnian had no choice but to find a chair and sit next to him, while reviewing the new information provided by the United States, while observing the situation of the mermaid.

Mermaids have a lifestyle similar to humans, living in groups, preying on fish, and collecting seaweed to feed themselves.According to speculation by foreign experts, they are probably still in a matrilineal society, and their aging speed is similar to that of humans.In recent years, Eve's various organs are failing, and Eve's daughter is gradually entering adulthood.However, they still don't know the specific situation.Perhaps in the near future, they can get the answer from Fei Lian.

Fei Lian.Yu Jingnian recalled the name in his heart, and looked up, the mermaid was leaning against the glass box, looking at him quietly.The gloomy black eyes carried an ambiguous look.Yu Jingnian was stunned for a moment, then he and the mermaid looked at each other naturally.

The mermaid stretched out her hand and tapped the glass box lightly, "Da da, da da..." a very rhythmic voice.

That might not be called a hand, the sharp claws reminded Yu Jingnian of the moment in the operating room, he couldn't help touching the wound on his cheek, the small wound had healed, with shallow raised marks.The mermaid found that the other party was ignoring him, so she moved to the side of the glass box and scratched the hard glass wall with her claws.

"Why do you look like a child?" Yu Jingnian smiled bitterly, and slowly approached, he was still a little scared, the destructive power of the mermaid is too strong, even a lover like Yu Jingnian would not dare to act rashly.

"Can you understand my words? Why did you attack me just now? You must be very hungry now. Your body shape, healing ability, and perennial low temperature must require high heat. I want to give you Order something to eat, but the teacher won't let me, so I can't help it." Yu Jingnian frowned in some trouble.

The mermaid tilted his head to look at him, his dark green silky hair drooped to cover his eyes, he hooked his hair aside with his claws, and made a gentle sound, not at all as sharp as before, a bit like the cry of a dolphin.Such movements and docile expressions made him look more and more human.

"Are you trying to say something? I think you can actually understand what we are talking about. Although Han Dong always thought it was impossible, but I know..." Yu Jingnian smiled, his cheeks slowly pressed against the glass, cold The touch made him feel a slight numbness in his cheeks.

The mermaid stretched out her paws, and stroked the wound on Yu Jingnian's face through the glass, the black pupils and Yu Jingnian looked at each other.If that could really be called an expression, Yu Jingnian felt that maybe it could be called guilt.

"Why on earth did you attack me? We must have had a good time getting along before." Yu Jingnian whispered, his eyes gradually softened, he couldn't help but smile, and then slowly closed his eyes.He was really tired, the blood was concentrated in his stomach, and his brain felt more tired because of it, Yu Jingnian slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep leaning against the glass box.

The sea is blue, and a large number of small islands and reefs are scattered in the waters of Xisha.The sun was just right, and the year-round heat and sunshine near the equator made the boy's face baked into a wheat color.He was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and with a plastic bucket in his hand, he followed his father into a small boat.The sound of the motor "dede" sounded, and the small boat set off from the pier and shuttled between the islands.

"Jingnian, wait for me on the boat." When he arrived at the scheduled location, his father put on a black diving suit and plunged into the bottom of the water with the equipment on his back.There was a splash on the sea, and then calm was restored quickly.

There are a lot of coral reefs in this area of ​​water, and Yu Jingnian knew that his father would install four cameras under the water, so that he might be able to capture some sights that are not usually seen.A year ago, my father found traces of using and polishing tools in a small underwater cave. Since then, he has been lingering in this area and has been reluctant to leave.

Yu Jingnian was used to such moments, he knew that his father would spend at least an hour at the bottom of the sea, so he leisurely picked up an earthworm from the plastic bucket, hung it on a fishhook and threw it into the sea.Many times it is difficult for him to catch fish, but this is his only way to pass the time. Although Yu Jingnian can swim, his father never lets him go into the water.At that time, his father did not tell Yu Jingnian about the huge fish bones he had found in those coral reefs.

Not long after, the hook started to shake, Yu Jingnian was startled, and hurriedly pulled the fishing rod.He thought he had really caught a great fish, and couldn't help but get a little excited.But the underwater things were so powerful that he couldn't catch them very quickly, and the boat shook slightly with the strength of the fishing rod. He had no choice but to let go, and the fishing rod fell into the sea and disappeared.The surrounding sea was still calm, and the sea breeze was blowing gently across the boy's face. It was clearly the same as usual, but the boy felt inexplicably nervous.

He stood beside the speedboat, looking nervously under the water.This piece of sea area is not deep, under the sparkling water pattern, you can vaguely see some underwater scenes, and a shadow quickly passed by the boat.Yu Jingnian yelled "ah", the speedboat was hit hard by a force, and suddenly became wobbly, he squatted down hastily to prevent himself from being thrown out in the chaos.He heard the sound of something rubbing against the hull, and the scraping sound of metal made people feel toothache.

Then, the movement stopped abruptly, and there was a muffled roar from the bottom of the water, a black figure popped out from under the boat, and waves of waves rose up in the sea area not far away, white foam splashed and fell, It even startled the birds on the distant islands and reefs.In the vast sea, such a small speedboat is really fragile.Yu Jingnian's heart was beating wildly, and he couldn't help but call out to his father.He saw a huge fish tail swinging up, the fish tail seemed to be as big as this small boat, and the big waves caused the small boat to swing back another meter.The waves quickly submerged the fish's tail, and something in the sea seemed to be churning in pain. Suddenly, the peaceful sea area turned into a pan of oil, and the waves kept jumping.

In fact, it was only a short period of 2 minutes, but Yu Jingnian felt as if it was as long as a century.Soon the surface of the water calmed down a little, and a large piece of red blood spread out on the surface of the water, and the smell of blood was pungent.He felt that his legs were weak, and he sat in the boat, not understanding what happened.

The big fish came out of the sea not far away. The brown fish body looked like it was three meters long. On the fisheye, thread the entire fish head through.

The next moment, a human-looking man poked his head out, glanced at Yu Jingnian from afar, then grabbed the tail of the dead fish with both hands, and dived into the water.The big fish turned over, like a ship with a hole in it, and quickly disappeared on the sea.

Soon after, the father climbed into the boat.His body was also stained with the smell of fish blood.The man sighed heavily, and hugged his son with a lingering fear.

"Let's go, Jingnian, let's go back." The man said wearily, there was still a fragment of a video camera in his pocket, and there was a smooth cut on it, which split the whole machine into two pieces.His father kept his promise, and since then, he has never been to that sea area again.
