Mermaid Law

A long time ago, when Leo was still a graduate student, his tutor invited him to join the "Eve Project", and he met that beautiful mermaid.At that time, Eve was at least 70 years old, and she lived with her daughter in an isolated sea area.The almost free way of life seemed to make Eve very distressed. She began to become depressed, and her skills became slow, and she seldom caught prey.

One night, Eve and her daughter hunted a shark together. It was an ordinary gray shark. During these years, the two mermaids had chewed the meat of this shark countless times, and no one took it seriously.But this gray shark hit Eve's waist and abdomen, drawing a big wound.Blood soaked the sea, attracting more sharks...

Leo, his mentor, and many people quickly went downstairs and took a boat to the place where the accident happened.They brought medicine and anesthesia to disperse the sharks, and they could bring the mermaid to the shore to heal his wounds.But on the way, they heard the singing of the mermaid.

It was an extremely ethereal sound, as if penetrating the soul, the sea water changed violently, and they could almost see the fluorescent substances floating in the sea water with their naked eyes.It was not as short as Fei Lian's singing this time, but long and continuous.The speedboat broke down and stopped quickly, and fluorescent things quickly gathered around the mermaid.According to the images left behind, it was Eve who made the sound. Her daughter ran away alone when the singing sounded, leaving her mother to the sharks.

The sharks tore up Eve's body, but the singing did not stop. Fluorescent spots quickly gathered in the sea where the accident happened, like thousands of fireflies. With a loud noise, they brought the sharks and Eve's body together in the water. explode.

It was an extremely terrifying explosion. The flames floated on the surface of the sea. The fluorescent thing looked like an extremely flammable combustible substance. It was ignited above the sea water. The fire did not last long. When everyone arrived there , Between the faint firelight, there are shark corpses everywhere, and the smell of burning is coming.Eve's daughter had already swam away, curled up sadly on the bottom of the sea on the other side, and did not start hunting again until three days later.

"You mean, Eve is dead?" Old Chen frowned, listening to Leo's narration.

"Yes, but that's not the point. The point is the 'singing of the siren'. I believe that in recent years, China should have also discovered a sudden surge of a previously unknown atom in seawater, which is heavier than uranium , can be fissioned, but it is not radioactive. The person who first discovered this thing called it 'A atom'. At the earliest time, the upper layer always thought that this was a new guy accidentally leaked by a certain laboratory. For this reason, CIA agents have been working around the world for a decade and have not been able to find the source."

Having said that, Leo shrugged his shoulders, and a mocking look gradually appeared on his face, "And until the living mermaid was discovered, some stupid idiots realized that things are not that simple. Because the scales, hair, and bones of the mermaid Even the skin contains more than 5% of 'A atoms', and there is a part similar to the gallbladder in the mermaid's body that can even store and refine the A atoms in seawater. That's right, to some extent, mermaids can be said to be a A new type of terrorist weapon, if you raise mermaids and use their gallbladders to store 'A atoms', then making an atomic bomb is as simple as the Chinese used bear bile to make medicine many years ago."

For a moment, in the control room, no one spoke, and the room was silent as if it was empty.

"This is the secret you have been refusing to tell?" After a long time, Han Dong finally broke the silence.

"Yes, I can't confide these things until I get permission, until Serena tells me that the authorities allow me to cooperate further with you, because if it comes to a critical moment, we have to get the consent of China to kill the male mermaid, I remember you called him Fei Lian."

"No, why did you kill Fei Lian? Even if the mermaid has that kind of energy, the mermaid doesn't have any idea of ​​blowing up the world. Besides, as you said, Eve exploded because she was attacked, so as long as we take good care of him... ..." Yu Jingnian's eyes widened, and he said something eagerly. He felt chills all over his body, and then he found that the colleagues around him lowered their heads, and the words that he was about to say gradually disappeared from his mouth.

"I'm going to think about it, Han Dong, you go and test the sample you just got. Others temporarily stop their activities, and it is strictly forbidden to approach the beach." Chen Lao took a breath, and he couldn't help but cover his mouth. Heart, this kind of news is really not something he, an elderly person, can bear. He has to take a good rest, and then go to make a report and ask a nuclear weapon expert to come over. Mermaid is really an uneasy project.

The wet clothes on Yu Jingnian's body hadn't been changed yet, a puddle of water had gathered under his feet at this moment, and drops of water were still dripping slowly on the ground from his hair and clothes.Han Dong frowned, took off his coat and put it on Yu Jingnian, and then said, "Go take a shower first, and change into clean clothes."

Yu Jingnian didn't hear it at all, he just lowered his head blankly and let Han Dong drag him away.

When he came back to his senses, he was already soaking in the bathtub, and the hot water produced a mist, gradually covering the whole room with a layer of white gauze.

"You take a shower first, and then have a good sleep. No matter what happens, we'll talk about it tomorrow." After saying this, Han Dong turned and left Yu Jingnian's room.

The temperature of the hot water came from the pores, which accelerated the blood circulation, and finally made Yu Jingnian's face a little bit bloody.He was lying in the bathtub, thinking about everything he heard today, and felt inexplicably unbelievable. The face and upper body were clearly similar to humans, but the internal structure was quite different. I heard that genetic experts have already carried out the deciphering work on mermaids. Nearly a hundred years later, it still hasn't been fully completed.

An IQ similar to that of a human, internal organs equivalent to a miniature nuclear bomb, strong combat effectiveness and survivability... Yu Jingnian thought about it carefully, and had to say that maybe one day in the future, mermaids will really become a threat to the survival of human beings.

However, no matter when that is, it is definitely not now.Now, they actually don't want to contact humans at all.Yu Jingnian clenched his fists in the bathtub, thinking that the mermaid deliberately concealed the details of being able to understand human language, his stomach twitched slightly.One thing, he just discovered that he subconsciously concealed the fact that Fei Lian could imitate human language.

Just now, as soon as he arrived in the control room, Leo began to tell about Eve, but he didn't open his mouth afterwards, telling Fei Lian about repeating his name.Thinking about it now, if the mermaid possessed human-like intelligence and extremely destructive lethality, even his mentor might insist on exterminating the mermaid.He didn't think that would be the right choice, the mermaid had no malice towards humans, and there was no need for humans to deal with the mermaid at this time, Yu Jingnian swallowed the uneasiness in his heart with such thoughts.

Forget it, what's the use of thinking so much.Coming out of the bathtub, Yu Jingnian dried his short hair and the water on his body with a towel. In the mirror, the man's slender and pale body was far worse than that of a mermaid.Yu Jingnian pouted, put on his pajamas, and lay down on the bed. Even if there was anything to do, he would have to wait until tomorrow.Tonight, he was really tired.

Early the next morning, Yu Jingnian got up and went downstairs to eat. The gloomy atmosphere of last night was still lingering among the researchers.Everyone started to feel a little nervous about the mermaid. For most people, Fei Lian undoubtedly became a ticking time bomb.No one knows how much the mermaid can concentrate the "A atoms", and if the sea area around the island explodes, will it have a subtle impact on the island itself.

Mr. Chen obviously stayed up late last night. When he woke up in the morning, his eyes were red. When he saw everyone, he began to announce the results of yesterday's consultation.At present, the opinion of the central government is to assess the risk factor of the mermaid, and if it is too high, it will be directly slaughtered and dissected.

The porcelain bowl fell to the ground with a bang, and the gruel was scattered all over the floor.Yu Jingnian didn't notice at all, he just stared blankly at his mentor, wondering if he heard it wrong just now.

Mr. Chen was a little embarrassed. After mobilizing people like this, he would do such a thing now, not to mention that if a humanoid animal like a mermaid was really killed like this, it would be somewhat unbearable.In fact, there was nothing wrong with this mermaid, it was just too unfortunate that it ran into a fishing boat.

"Ahem, Jingnian, don't get excited, don't get excited. I've already sent a report saying that the mermaid is emotionally stable, has an introverted personality, has never hurt anyone, and has the value of live research." Old Chen hurriedly explained, unable to bear it in his heart He sighed, this little apprentice of himself, I am afraid that he was really bewitched by the mermaid.

Yu Jingnian was in great pain in his heart, and he was a little dazed. It took him a long time to recover from a trance, and he let out a soft "oh", and put down his hand holding the chopsticks.At this moment, there was no mood to eat, Yu Jingnian stood up and went downstairs.

"Boy, stop, stop, you won't be going to the beach again." Han Dong chased him out and grabbed Yu Jingnian.

"No, I'll just walk around." Seeing Han Dong's worried look, Yu Jingnian felt a little guilty, and licked the corner of his mouth at Han Dong, which was a bit of comfort.

"Don't go to the beach, we haven't figured out the nature of mermaids yet, and now we have another nuclear weapon, you, don't think that you are lucky to escape a few times, you can escape every time." Han Dong wrinkled raised his eyebrows, reached out and tapped Yu Jingnian's forehead.

"Well, I see, I'll just go for a walk in the woods, okay? Not in the direction of the sea." Yu Jingnian smiled, feeling a little warmer in his heart.His mother died early, and his father was busy with work, so he seldom cared about him before, and later Yu Jingnian was away from school, so it was Han Dong, the "uncle" who cared about him the most.Yu Jingnian was also used to Han Dong's disciplined attitude, so he didn't think there was anything wrong.

Han Dong nodded, "Go, I'll watch you here, so you don't have to run to the beach again."

"Okay, okay, I got it." Yu Jingnian made a gesture of surrender, and then walked into the woods.
