Infinite Merit System

The short beep in the brain repeated three times.

After Bai Jiu wandered around and confirmed that the only living creatures in this room were him and the man who entered the pool before, he had to accept this reality. The man is the object of his mission in this world—Lin Zhao.

Bai Jiu looked at the man's back through the glass, his upper body was tall and straight, but his legs were limping.

Three years ago, Lin Zhao graduated from the Imperial College of Technology with No.1 grades, and was specially recruited into the Interstellar Research Institute. The young Lin Zhao was indifferent by nature, obsessed with scientific research, but things failed as he wished. During a biological experiment In the film, an explosion occurred in the laboratory of Lin Zhao's research group. In this explosion, Lin Zhao not only disfigured his face, but also caused non-renewable damage to the muscle tissue of his legs. Moreover, the right hand that the scientist relied on could no longer Pick up any fine equipment too.

What a pity, but the blackening value is scary.

In addition, the explosion caused by the experimental accident affected the work of the entire Interstellar Research Institute. The federal government needed a reasonable explanation, but the explosion damaged the closed-circuit monitoring of the laboratory, and Lin Zhao, as the only one The people who were still in the laboratory were taken as scapegoats as a matter of course and took responsibility for the entire accident.

If the director of the research institute hadn't strongly urged Lin Zhao to stay, Lin Zhao would no longer be in a slum.

While Lin Zhao stayed in the research institute, he could not participate in any research and could only do the simplest debugging work. The Fall of a New Star would naturally make people who didn't like him squeeze him, but Lin Zhao endured it.

Bai Jiu asked 002: Are you 99% sure?

002: Yes~

Bai Jiu: Are you sure he won't turn black in the next second?

002: Don't worry about Shangshen. The target person is a very determined person. According to the system data, he has maintained this blackening value for three years.

Three years ago, it happened to be the time of the bombing.

Bai Jiu patted the glass wall hard, the movement was so loud that anyone with good ears could notice it.

Sure enough, Lin Zhao stopped going out.

Bai Jiu jumped out with a head, part of the algae-green hair floated on the water, and part of it was wrapped around Bai Jiu's neck. The ice-blue pupils seemed to be a gift from God, pure and without any impurities, Bai Jiu had already observed it Now, although he has become a fish now, he doesn't know what the aesthetics of a mermaid is, but from his point of view, except for the black scales on the abdomen, the rest of this mermaid can be described as perfect.

He smiled at Lin Zhao.

The four sharp teeth are short, but the sharpness is enough to make even the overlord of the sea fear, but Bai Jiu himself doesn't know how scary he is now.

Lin Zhao walked over slowly, he raised his head, and looked at the mermaid smiling at him like a predator.

Bai Jiu swam into the water from above, and with the swing of the fish's tail, there was a burst of water splashing in the pool.He swam in front of Lin Zhao, his eyes were as clear as inorganic glass, he moved his mouth, and sure enough spit out a series of bubbles.

Lin Zhao stared at the mermaid quietly.

The institute named him Themis, the savior.

When capturing Themis, he used his seemingly harmless teeth to cause two fishermen to lose their arms. Lin Zhao did not go out to sea with the boat. He was only called to clean the fish pond today because they were very Afraid of Themis.

Lest the teeth of Themis tear them apart.

Bai Jiu tilted his head to look at Lin Zhao, he seemed to be in a daze.

And Lin Zhao seemed to be shocked by his actions, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but the horrific scars on his face made Lin Zhao's smile a little more weird.

Bai Jiu blinked, and swam over again, flicking the fish's tail, very cute.

The terrifying mermaid looks harmless to humans and animals at the moment, and the face bestowed by the Creator makes people sink in unconsciously.

After sensing a trace of emotion that shouldn't belong to him, Lin Zhao fled the room as quickly as he could.

He ran in a hurry, causing his steps to be messy, which made the fact that his legs were disabled more obvious.

What a tragedy, Bai Jiu couldn't help thinking, obviously a scientist with a bright future, but now he can't do anything.

But in the next three days, Bai Jiu never saw Lin Zhao except the staff who brought him food regularly every day.He even saw the man who kicked the door away after arguing with Lin Zhao.

He tried to get close to him, to touch his tail.

Bai Jiu didn't like him very much, after warning him, the man was still touching his scales, so Bai Jiu bit him hard, blood flowed from his arm, the man jumped up in pain, But there is nothing to do with him, after all, this is the only mermaid.

Others who tried to get close to him were scared away by his behavior.

Three days later, Bai Jiu was lazily sleeping, when suddenly the whole room became brightly lit, a glare of light refracted through the water surface, he couldn't help opening his eyes while he was still sleeping.

This is the second time Bai Jiu sees Lin Zhao.

He stood at the back of the crowd.

Lin Zhao seemed to have sensed Bai Jiu's gaze, and also set his eyes on Bai Jiu.

A dozen or so people poured into the room together. The person standing in the front was in a suit and leather shoes, his clothes were ironed flat, with imperial roses on his shoulder sleeves, and the people behind him all had flattering smiles on their faces. Except for two people, one was Lin Zhao, Bai Jiu didn't know him, but he looked about the same age as Lin Zhao.

"Is this the captured mermaid?"

"Yes, Mr. Major General. It's just that he is a bit cruel. Our researchers will be hurt by him when they enter his territory. It is difficult for us to conduct research on this."

The major general pushed his glasses and looked at the mermaid in the glass pool. He was silent for a while before saying, "Is there no way?" Facing the major general's question, the senior researcher could only wipe off his sweat. Bite out two bloody holes.

"Lin Zhao was not bitten the last time I came here." A soft voice came, bringing everyone's attention back to Lin Zhao, the silent young man.

The admiral looked at the indifferent Lin Zhao with great interest. He had heard of this person, the culprit of the bombing three years ago, "I know you, but I can't hand over this mermaid to you. Know if you would do the same thing to him as you did three years ago."

Lin Zhao only moved when he heard the last few words. He didn't speak. His hands under his sleeves were clenched into fists, but his right hand visibly shook more violently.

Bai Jiu couldn't hear what the crowd was talking about, but felt that it was very loud.

He swam up, his tail beating the water.

"He's awake!"

Everyone's eyes focused on the mermaid by the pool.

"What a beautiful Themis." The admiral praised sincerely.

Bai Jiu heard a familiar word from them, and his pronunciation was twisted, but every time they called out this name, his eyes were full of light, Themis, his name.

"themis?" Bai Jiu's voice is still very ugly, but compared to the previous Jie Jie Yin, he has been able to use his seemingly useless vocal cords a little bit, he pointed to himself again, and said, "Intuit Mis?"

The admiral's eyes widened instantly, his breathing became short of breath from excitement, and he nodded quickly.Not only the admiral, but others also had difficulty suppressing their excitement.The admiral tried to get close to Bai Jiu, but was quickly scared away by Bai Jiu's exposed white teeth.

The rest of the people did not dare to approach Bai Jiu, but Lin Zhao, being the only one who had not been bitten by Bai Jiu, was pushed up again.

Bai Jiu looked at Lin Zhao with faint blue eyes, Lin Zhao's expression was calm, hardly any disturbance could be seen, Bai Jiu thought of deliberately teasing, he smiled kindly at Lin Zhao, he stretched out his hand to touch Lin Zhao's. On the face, the huge fish tail lifted from the water, bringing the salty liquid into the air, and the water droplets fell in pieces, and Lin Zhao's hair was wet.

The nails slowly slid down as they brushed Lin Zhao's cheeks, and landed on the throat.

The throbbing arteries exuded heat, and the relaxation of the blood vessels made Bai Jiu feel that Lin Zhao would also be nervous.

He returned to the water and looked at the crowd leisurely. He should understand what he meant.

Everyone couldn't figure out what Bai Jiu meant, only Lin Zhao felt that this mermaid seemed to be very interested in him, a very strange interest, not treating himself as food, but...

similar.

The admiral returned to his original position, cleared his throat and said, "Have you seen that, he is wise. This makes it even more necessary to carry out protective reproduction of mermaids. Lin Zhao." The admiral called Lin again Zhao's name, "Although I don't trust you, it seems that you are the candidate to take care of Themis."

The rest joined in.

They didn't ask Lin Zhao's opinion either. After all, Lin Zhao had a criminal record. In their opinion, it was a gift to him to have him take care of such a precious mermaid.

Lin Zhao took over the task of taking care of the mermaid without saying a word, but Admiral Angus only asked him to take care of the mermaid, and did not allow him to participate in the research.

"You're really lucky." The cold-faced man in the team who had been silent all this time mocked after Admiral Angus was sent off, "This mermaid is quite interested in you."

"En." Lin Zhao hummed lightly.

"Be careful." The man said again, "Don't be eaten."

Lin Zhao said with a smile, "Thank you, Junior Brother."

The man Lin Zhao called his junior blushed embarrassingly, "I'm a first-level researcher now!" He straightened his job card, which had three large characters Jiang Qiusheng followed by a small first-level researcher.

Jiang Qiusheng was furiously left by Lin Zhao's words. Lin Zhao originally wanted to leave too, but he hesitated. Now it was only him and Themis.

He could see that Themis had been looking at him, those cold eyes, eyes from the ocean, that had never left.

Themis has advanced wisdom, and Lin Zhao discovered it earlier than them.

Lin Zhao looked at Bai Jiu, and came to the top of the pool by some mysterious coincidence.

Sure enough, Themis swam over, smiling to himself.

Bai Jiu rested his hands on his head and waggled the tail of the fish. He heard Lin Zhao say a few words, and then pointed to himself.

"lin."

Is it the pronunciation of his name?

Lin Zhao repeated it again.

"L, in? Lin? Lin?"

It's Lin Zhao's name.

Bai Jiu's voice was obviously not pleasant, and the intonation of his vocal cords, which he hadn't spoken for a long time, was obviously not very accurate. Bai Jiu adjusted it several times before he could call out Lin Zhao's name accurately.

"Forest."

Lin Zhao was surprised that Themis was smarter than he imagined.

"Themis, can you understand me?" After Lin Zhao asked, he felt that he was fantasizing.

Bai Jiu felt that Tai's words looked down on him a bit, although he had difficulty speaking, he could still understand simply now.

He nodded.

Lin Zhao felt it was difficult to breathe, Themis was so charming, no one would not be attracted to him, he tried to walk, but Bai Jiu grabbed his ankle, and the soles of his feet were slippery.

- Puff.

The silver-white fishtail caught Lin Zhao's falling figure.

The mermaid's body is probably only useful in the water, Bai Jiu thought, after all, once he leaves the water, his skin will crack.

Bai Jiu smiled sweetly, "Lin."

His Themis was smiling at him.

The silver-white fish tail curled around Lin Zhao's waist, and his clothes were soaked, only the black hair hanging from the fish tail, which made Bai Jiu's body numb and limp, he didn't loosen the fish tail on purpose!

The author has something to say: Juvenile mermaid, first live a life of raising cubs, at least communication is barrier-free!

(In this world, Shou is completely black! So you don’t have to worry about him becoming black.)
