Mermaid Feeding Rules

That night, Ivey knocked on Boyce's door.

"I heard that you were attacked by S-24 today?" Ivy was a little worried. Boyce was seen with finger marks on his neck when he came back during the day.

It didn't take long for most people in the institute to know about it.

"I'll go for you tomorrow."

Before Boyce could speak, Ivey cut him off: "I happen to have a lot of free time lately."

He looked at Boyce: "It hasn't attacked other breeders before, it may be targeting you."

The next day, Ivey went to S-24's breeding room in place of Boyce.

After Boyce came out of the breeding room of S-37, he went to wait outside the breeding room of S-24. Ivey came out from inside and saw Boyce at the door stunned for a moment.

Boyce looked him up and down, his hair was not messed up, his coat fit him tightly without any wrinkles, and Ivy was dry all over his body, not wet.

Boyce showed a relieved expression on his face, and Ivey smiled at him, with a joking tone: "It seems that s-24 is only targeting you alone."

Olier let other people take over half of Ivey's other work. He said: "Anyway, I'm idle, so I can help you a little bit."

"I asked Professor Cyril a few days ago, and he said that he can let you come here to help."

Boyce looked at Ivy with some questions in his eyes, "Do you want to go there?"

However, although Ivy is an assistant to Professor Chris, he seems a bit mediocre in the team under Professor Chris. Boyce and Professor Cyril mentioned that he was asked to come here to the laboratory. Not a big deal in every project involved.

Professor Cyril also took this into consideration, and told Boyce in advance that if Ivey joined his team, he might not be able to participate in more important experiments for the time being.

Boyce conveyed Cyril's meaning to Ivy and asked for his opinion.

But Ivy declined his offer.

"I want to wait a little longer," he said.

"Maybe Professor Chris will be back in a few days."

Ivy has always had a deep admiration for Professor Chris. As a top scholar in the field, it is indeed normal for Professor Chris to have some admirers.

After Boyce and Ivy separated, they went to the laboratory that Cyril had assigned to him.

He recorded the data of the small white mice used in the experiment, and synthesized a new reagent after accidentally adding ZV to the prepared ec and za reagents last time.

After injecting the new drug into the mouse, the mouse's physical condition returned to the peak level, but the next day, Boyce and the others found that it died of a ruptured blood vessel.

Boyce and the others adjusted the ratio in the follow-up. The response of the new drug to the mice was very good. After a few days of taking the medicine, there have been no adverse reactions yet.

Among these mice, the nails of the most special one began to grow longer after the injection of the drug, and the hardness of the nail also increased. At the same time, its body size also began to grow. evolve in a certain way.

But at present, they are still unable to determine the side effects of the medicine, so they have not reported the experimental results to the higher authorities.

-

Ivy didn't deliberately conceal the fact that Ivy went to feed S-24 instead of Boyce, and both of them were a little surprised that Olier didn't make trouble with this incident.

However, just after Boyce and Ivey were relieved, Olier suddenly sent someone to ask Boyce to go to his office, and mentioned that Ivey helped him feed the s-24 recently.

It took another whack at Boyce before Olier let him go.

Boyce returned to the laboratory, but Matthew, who was supposed to stay in the laboratory, was nowhere to be seen.

The originally neatly stacked drafts were a bit messy, and the cage containing the mice fell to the ground at some point, and the mice, whose nails had more than doubled in length, crawled around restlessly in the cage, scratching the metal cage with their nails, screaming. Some harsh sound.

Boyce rummaged through the draft, and there were discarded data here, there should be a few sheets missing, and a potion just prepared a few days ago was also lost.

Boyce picked up the cage from the floor, and Matthew just walked in at this moment.

"Where did you go?" Boyce frowned.

"Someone said that Professor Cyril was looking for me..."

"what happened?"

"Someone entered the laboratory and took away the discarded data and a potion."

After the incident happened, Boyce and Matthew reported it to Cyril. After leaving Cyril's office, Matthew looked at Boyce: "Who do you think did it?"

Although he was asking Boyce, he seemed to have an answer: "How could it be possible that just as the two of us left, someone entered the laboratory."

He asked Boyce, "What do you think?"

-

After parting ways with Matthew, Boyce went to Ivy.

When Boyce went, Ivey was reading the file. When Boyce came in, he was about to close the file, but he didn't want to accidentally click on another video.

A somewhat familiar face appeared on the video, and Boyce had just seen a photo of him some time ago.

Zoe Fries, former s-37 breeder.

What impressed Boyce most about him, Ive said, was falling in love with the one merman he was in charge of.

That is S-37.

The time on the video should be in the middle of the night, and he was the only one in the corridor. Boyce saw Zoe open the s-37 breeding room. After a slight distortion in the video, the figures of Zoe and S-37 appeared on the screen.

Boyce's gaze fell on the blue mermaid figure, probably because he had been with it for a long time, and Boyce felt that the movements of the mermaid on the screen were a bit unnatural.

He frowned and continued to read.

Zoe opened the partition glass and sat on the lifting platform. Boyce saw him open and close his lips and whisper something, but the mermaid in the pool remained indifferent.

Boyce pushed the progress a little further, and the mermaid who was originally in the pool suddenly jumped up, dragging the people on the lifting platform down the pool.

Then the next day, people from the research institute found Zoe's body.

Boyce pulled the progress bar back and slowed down the speed. Ivy asked him, "What do you see?"

Boyce initially felt that the S-37's movements in the video seemed unnatural, but after slowing down, some traces of the video being edited could be seen.

But in the research institute, the incident of the mermaid attacking the researcher was not surprising, and no one took a close look at it. Everyone acquiesced to the truth that s-37 dragged him into the pool.

From the notes left by Zoe, Boyce guessed that the relationship between S-37 and him should be considered peaceful.

"It doesn't seem to like me. I seldom see it when feeding, and most of the time it is at the bottom."

"However, it doesn't seem like it intended to hurt me."

This was recorded in Zooey's notes.

Boyce watched Ivy turn off the video, and remembered another creature in the video, how much did S-37 know about Zoe's death?

-

The next morning, Boyce continued to feed the two mermaids. After feeding s-37, Boyce went to the breeding room of s-24.

S-24 in the pool floated to the surface after hearing footsteps, and looked very skillful waiting to be fed.

Seeing that it was Boyce who came, it seemed a little surprised. It subconsciously looked behind him, but found that Boyce was the only one coming.

Boyce felt that he could probably see some disappointment in it. Compared with himself, it seemed to want other experimenters to come here.

The fish with fresh blood was thrown into the water. S-24 watched Boyce's movements not far away. Suddenly, its tail stirred in the water. Seeing Boyce looking towards him, it grinned and looked Boyce showed his fangs, and his fins spread out in protest.

However, as if he had some scruples, it looked at the humans on the shore with a hint of reluctance in its eyes. It was making a demonstration, but it didn't get close to Boyce.

After Boyce left, S-24 patted the water vigorously as if venting his anger.

can't hurt...

It silently recited this sentence in its heart,

The furrowed brows suddenly loosened. You can't hurt anyone, so it shouldn't matter if you don't get hurt...

-

A few days later, S-37 smelled a faint scent belonging to another mermaid on its sofia.

A light, somewhat vain atmosphere surrounded the human body and dissipated easily, which meant that he was not too close to another mermaid.

But s-37 still feels a little irritated by this.

He went to another merman's breeding room, and the merman came to this conclusion.

He looked fine now, s-24 didn't do anything to him for a while, but it had a hostility towards its own Sofia.

In other words, the other mermaids in this research institute are more or less hostile to him. Although it will not endanger his life, it may cause some small troubles.

And its Sofia probably doesn't know anything about it.

It felt that it should let him understand that in the research institute, being the only mermaid was harmless to him.

As a fragile human, he should stay away from those merfolk who are hostile to him.

Just a mermaid near me is enough.

s-37 thought.

-

S-24 felt the breath of another mermaid, and it sneaked into S-24's territory through the abandoned passage between the two pools.

S-24 instinctively wanted to drive out the mermaid that broke into its own territory, especially some time ago, this inexplicable mermaid suddenly came through this passage to fight with itself, and even killed most of the scales on its tail. They were all pulled down.

If it is not impossible to beat it, s-24 also wants to swim to the pool where he is through this passage, and beat this inexplicable mermaid.

Now, this mermaid once again appeared in his territory without any scruples. Even though he knew the strength gap between the two mermaids, s-24 couldn't help but want to fight it again.

However, just when s-24 couldn't bear it anymore and was about to fight it again, there were footsteps outside the breeding room.

s-24 tilted his head, it was the breeder who came again.

It withdrew its claws, and in front of the human breeder, it didn't want to stage a scene of fighting among the same race.

Hearing the familiar footsteps, s-37 flicked his tail unhappily, and he really came to this mermaid again.

Although he knew that it was his job for Boyce to feed S-24, S-37 still looked around S-24 in displeasure. After comparing with himself, he came to the conclusion that this mermaid was not as good as himself.

S-24 glanced at the somewhat strange fellow in doubt, and saw that it stayed there and did not want to come over, so it dived to the surface.

It was going to teach the human on the shore a little lesson.

Boyce didn't know that there was an extra mermaid in the pool, and he was about to drop the food and leave as before.

When he opened the partition glass, he was still a little distracted, thinking that he didn't see it appear when he just went to feed the s-37.

Boyce deliberately waited for a while after feeding, but the blue mermaid did not see the figure.

S-37 is lurking underwater, looking at s-24 whose upper body is above the water.

It knows what the blue mermaid wants to do.

It is waiting for an opportunity to drag the humans on the shore into the pool.

Let the pool water submerge his mouth and nose, feel the air in his lungs decrease a little bit, let him emerge from the water before he completely loses consciousness, and then repeat the process of being on the verge of suffocation.

There won't be any wounds on his body, but there will be fear of this mermaid, and he will stay away from this mermaid as he wishes.

And I only need to show up at the last moment to make him understand that I am the only mermaid who has no ill intentions towards him.

Boyce stood on the lifting platform, looking at the S-24 in the water.

Boyce felt an inexplicable sense of crisis, and instinctively assumed a defensive posture. The mermaid in the water suddenly jumped up and attacked in Boyce's direction.

At the same time, the blue mermaid broke out of the water, and before Boyce could react, its claws grabbed the blue fish tail in mid-air and pulled it down forcefully.

The cyan mermaid hit the surface of the water, dropping huge splashes.

S-24 was stunned for a moment by the sudden movement of s-37. After regaining his senses, he looked at s-37 who suddenly appeared, and raised his fins.

S-24 suddenly opened its eyes wide. It remembered a detail that it had overlooked. The human on the lifting platform was covered with the breath of the mermaid in front of him...

The s-37 is blocked between Boyce and the s-24, and the meaning of maintenance is obvious.

Humans live on land, and mermaids often live in the deep sea.

Mermaids can walk on land, but humans cannot survive in water.

It knew that the S-24 would not have killed Boyce, or even left him with any scars.

It looked back at Boyce, and he still looked at him with surprise. Boyce didn't expect that s-37 would suddenly appear here.

It still couldn't figure out the source of Boyce's anger.

but……

The mermaid thought, its Sofia eyes are very beautiful, it shouldn't be stained with the gloomy emotions of pain and despair.
