Infinite Merit System

After hearing Bai Jiu's words, Lin Zhao was obviously stunned for a moment. Countless pictures began to flash in his mind, and he didn't know where to put his hands. Then he saw the eyes of the mermaid.

God, what was he thinking just now, the mermaid is just unhappy because he didn't see him today.

not at all,

mean something else.

"Themis." Lin Zhao said, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't do it today." Thinking of the notes he owed to Jiang Qiusheng, Lin Zhao immediately felt regretful.

The mermaid immediately sank down again, and the fish tail, which had already faded in color, limply stuck to the wall of the pool.

"Okay..." The mermaid couldn't hide the sad eyes.

Lin Zhao felt a little distressed, after all, he was the one who seemed to be at fault today.

He added, "Tomorrow, is tomorrow okay?"

Bai Jiu hesitated, "Okay, then Lin must come tomorrow." His starry eyes looked at Lin Zhao mistyly, "Lin, you know, my body is very strange recently. I feel that the water temperature is a bit high, and even the sleeping time has become longer, but Lin said that if it’s okay, it must be fine.”

Bai Jiu talked about the subtle changes in his body. He already knew through 002 that this is the reason why the mermaid is coming to pass through adulthood, but for Lin Zhao, he still needs to pretend to be more innocent.

After all, Lin Zhao is a typical person who prefers softness to toughness.In the original plot, although Lin Zhao was sent to take care of the mermaid, it was because the mermaid was so vicious that the experienced staff of the research institute did not dare to step forward.

There was nothing special about the mermaid's treatment of Lin Zhao. Lin Zhao spent a long time trying to win the mermaid's trust, and was violently attacked by the mermaid.

and so--

After Lin Zhao became famous, the mermaid named Themis was imprisoned by Lin Zhao and became Lin Zhao's only.

tester.

"Lin, am I really alright?" The mermaid blushed, and he buried his head in the water, trying to lower his body temperature, "But I'm still very hot now."

The base of the mermaid's ears turned pink, and the tip of the slightly transparent nose also turned red.

"My body has become very strange, as if something is biting my fish tail, and..." Bai Jiu showed an annoyed look, and he showed Lin Zhao his tail without reservation, " Lin, I seem to have become ugly."

Black scales start from the belly and invade the bright silver tail little by little.

Compared with the silver-white scales, the black scales give people a stronger sense of oppression. The pitch-black metal scales are a bit bigger than a child's palm, but the mermaid doesn't seem to like black.

Bai Jiu's tail was hanging in the air, the two colors on the huge tail were mixed together, it really didn't look very beautiful.

Lin Zhao thought to himself, after all, the mermaid has lived alone on the seabed for too long, and has never seen anyone of the same kind other than himself. She doesn't know that the black scale is actually a symbol of a pure breed, and even treats it as a strange disease.

"Themis, this is um." Lin Zhao thought about the wording and the degree to which Themis could understand, "This is a meaning of growing up. When the scales are completely off, Themis will grow into a more beautiful face." fish."

"Really!"

Lin Zhao nodded affirmatively.

"So, Lin, do you like it?"

His heart started beating wildly because of the mermaid's words.

"Do you like me like this?" The mermaid's tone gradually became uneasy, "Will you like Themis when she grows up?"

My heart beat faster.

Sitting by the pool, Lin Zhao looked down at the beautiful fish tail, which is a gift from the ocean, "No one will dislike you."

A hot mist formed in Bai Jiu's eyes, and the water temperature began to rise, Lin Zhao's affectionate eyes fell on Bai Jiu's mind.

"Is Themis unhappy because the fish tail was seen by others?"

Bai Jiu nodded, only tiny ripples appeared on the surface of the water, the dark green hair seemed to be the same color as Mo, it was rippling on the water surface, bending and tangling uncontrollably.

"I don't want others to see it." Bai Jiu added.

He didn't want to either, Lin Zhao thought to himself.I don't know that from that day on, the mermaid's charming thoughts in his heart have changed, and his color has changed. He can't treat the mermaid as a test object.

He... Lin Zhao covered his beating chest, stop quickly.

"But Lin Zhao, I won't be angry." The mermaid stretched out her hand and pinched Lin Zhao's bitter cheeks.

The mermaid must have been too kind to him.Lin Zhao couldn't help thinking that it was too good to be true.

"Hmm." Lin Zhao didn't know what to say, but just lowered his head and uttered a slight raving.

"Dan Lin, you must come tomorrow night."

The mermaid's voice fell into Lin Zhao's heart, always making him feel that something will happen tomorrow night.

Lin Zhao’s residence is not far from the research institute. After he was fired, he has not moved out due to physical reasons. Although the director still let him work in the research institute, Lin Zhao also knows in his heart that he cannot participate in any scientific research matters. Even the matter of taking care of the mermaid was almost by chance.

He still can't figure out whether the bombing three years ago was caused by his operation.

Without monitoring, without witnesses, the only explanation can only be him.

Lin Zhao went back to his study, and made specimens of the scales he brought from the mermaid last time, but he didn't get any useful information from them.

Halfway through the diary, the handwriting is floating. The direction of the diary, which originally only wanted to record the living habits of the mermaid, has become strange.It is necessary to find clues and compile them before handing them over to Jiang Qiusheng.

Every frown and smile of the mermaid reappeared in Lin Zhao's dream.

Lin Zhao had a very lengthy dream. He went out to sea with the fishing boat. His legs were not crippled, and his face was not injured. He was still a talented young man in people's mouth, with a promising future.

Then he met the mermaid, his Themis.

He taught Themis how to speak, and taught him the knowledge and morality of human society. Themis trusted him and often smiled at him. Lin Zhao felt that all of this was very beautiful.

Even things with Themis were going well.

The harsh alarm clock broke the reverie of this period.

Lin Zhao got up, the genius was slightly bright, the time pointed to exactly six o'clock, and his lower body reacted, because he had a sexual dream?Lin Zhao touched his face, which was still slightly hot, and even his lips were moist.

really...

It was still difficult to get out of bed, and the scars on my face were hard to avoid being seen when I washed.Amy once told him that if remedial treatment was given within 24 hours of the incident, his face could even return to normal, but at the time...

Lin Zhao smiled, and the scars on his face twisted into an even more embarrassing pattern.

If... it wasn't because of that accident, maybe the encounter between him and Themis would have been the same as in his dream, instead of——

Lin Zhao's expression darkened suddenly.

On the way to the recuperation room, Lin Zhao met Jiang Qiusheng.

Jiang Qiusheng seemed to want to stop and say hello to Lin Zhao, but Lin Zhao just ignored him as if he hadn't seen him.

"Lin... Lin Zhao." Jiang Qiu whispered Lin Zhao's name.

Lin Zhao glanced back at Jiang Qiusheng, said "Oh" knowingly, and left in a hurry after seeing him at noon, staggering on his feet.

Jiang Qiusheng frowned, thinking what's going on, didn't he be fine yesterday, why is he so indifferent to himself all of a sudden, is it because he said something about the mermaid yesterday?

Should not be ah.

When the clock reached eight o'clock, Bai Jiu jumped up from the bottom of the pool, with a smile on his face, "Morning, Lin." The mermaid's ears moved slightly, indicating that he was in a good mood.

Lin Zhao's mood was very complicated.

The protagonist in yesterday's dream was right in front of his eyes, and he lowered his head, not knowing how to face Themis.

"Lin, what's wrong with you?" Sensing that Lin Zhao's mood didn't seem very good, Bai Jiu asked, "I'm hungry."

Lin Zhao turned his head. At this time, he should have settled the mermaid's breakfast first, but today he forgot, and his hands are empty.

"Themis, I'm sorry, I seem to have forgotten." Lin Zhao felt that he shouldn't make such a low-level mistake, but he did. Could it be that he has been thinking too much recently?

Bai Jiu swam over and said aggrievedly, "Okay."

"I'll go now."

Bai Jiu stared at Lin Zhao leaving, but his eyes fell on the red earlobe.

But in this short gap, an unexpected guest came to the recuperation room.

"Admiral Angus, why are you here?" Apparently, the others did not expect that Admiral Angus, who is in a high position in the Federation, would come suddenly and directly enter the little mermaid's recuperation room.

Still dressed in a suit and leather shoes, Angus pulled his hair back with pomade. The carefully crafted hairstyle is paired with elegant thin-rimmed glasses. He has a good figure, even though he is almost 40 years old now Looks like less than ten.

"I came to see the federal treasure, he seems to be in much better spirits than he was a month ago."

Angus stood in front of the pool wall, sizing up the mermaid unceremoniously with naked eyes, hiding an inexplicable possessive desire, he looked at the mermaid very carefully from beginning to end.

This made Bai Jiu very uncomfortable, as if he was some ornamental fish.

Angus' eyes were greedy and dirty, he must be planning something.

"God, why didn't the report I got mention the color of the mermaid's tail scales." Angus' voice suddenly became gloomy, "Didn't the breeder notice it? I remember, he was called Lin Zhao, right, what about others?"

The people who came in with Angus searched for each other, but found that Lin Zhao was not found.

This made Angus even more annoyed. He felt that Lin Zhao had a criminal record and was not suitable for taking care of the mermaid. If Lin Zhao hadn't been handpicked by the mermaid himself, he would never have let Lin Zhao get close to the mermaid.

Bai Jiu silently prayed in his heart that Lin Zhao would not come over at this moment.

But no one informed Lin Zhao, and when he came over, he happened to bump into Angus' muzzle.

"Lin Zhao, have you been taking good care of Themis recently? Why didn't you even notice the discoloration of his fish tail?" Admiral Angus' words made Lin Zhao shudder.

Have you been found?Lin Zhao's pupils began to vibrate.

But Angus didn't give Lin Zhao a chance to explain. He discussed with the people next to him and decided to let Lin Zhao get out of the mermaid's side.

Alarm bells rang in Bai Jiu's mind.

Damn, don't destroy the trust he's built so hard.

"Lin, come here." Bai Jiu stopped laughing, his eyes that had been smiling all the time emitted a sharp light, his ice blue eyes were like ice blades, Angus felt that the mermaid didn't seem to like him.

He squeezed out a smile, "Themis, do you remember me?"

Bai Jiu nodded, and he continued to turn his head to look at Lin Zhao, "Lin, I'm hungry."

Lin Zhao turned his head and glanced at Angus, Angus nodded impatiently to indicate that he agreed with Lin Zhao to go.

What Angus and the others said, Lin Zhao didn't hear clearly, but he could guess it, probably let him go, he sighed.

"Lin, don't worry." Bai Jiu comforted, wrapping Lin Zhao's wrist flexibly with his cold tail fin.

Bai Jiu looked at Lin Zhao, heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the alarm in his mind quiet down, and looked at Angus with unfriendly eyes, this person has a lot of variables.

After seeing the movements of Lin Zhao and the mermaid, Angus pushed his glasses with his hand and asked, "Research Director An, are you sure that Lin Zhao and the mermaid are just a friendly breeding relationship?"

The chief researcher who was questioned did not expect Angus to ask such a question. After all, in their view, Lin Zhao could not be interested in other things besides research.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, the mermaid will be sent to the Royal Aquarium soon."
