"Lines—is this a scale?"

"Why do you have this? Are you sick?"

Desire turned into a black snake and stirred in his chest, but August stood on the spot as if frightened, helpless.

Rhines was in a state of confusion, his back was pressed against the cold tiles, and he looked up at August in bewilderment, his slender white legs crossed and trembling slightly.

"I, I don't know why... um!"

He curled up, trying to cover the scales on the sides of his legs with his hands.

The scales that had only started to grow two days ago were as delicate as petals on the skin with water. Under Rhines's gentle pressure, there was a sudden surge of tingling like an electric current.

Fear spread throughout his body, as if he had returned to the time when he was bullied by Herbert.At that time, he was powerless to resist, but now he can only wait for the judgment to come.

"Oh, don't be afraid...don't be afraid of me..." Rhines sobbed and shrank in place.

The creature in the darkness had injected him with merman blood, and the villain who had caused it all looked the most bewildered while the victim feared he would be loathed.

August didn't speak, but slowly approached Rhines.

He pressed his palate hard to keep himself from laughing, but Reines mistook his expression for vigilance.

"August...don't come here, okay?"

Rhines begged like a collapse, and wanted to prop up his body and crawl to the side, but August was obviously faster than him.

He half-kneeled in front of Rhines, forcing him into the space between the bathtub and the wall.

If Rhines could wake up a little now, he would realize that this is a more controlling action.But he no longer has the space to think about it, and all his mind is devoted to covering up the abnormality.

He was like a white bird whose fluff had been plucked, and could only chirp imploringly with its tender beak.

How stupid.

But it's pathetic.

There was a glimmer of darkness in August's dark blue eyes, and the merman held Rhines' ankle with downcast eyes.

"do not!"

Rhines was shivering from the cold touch, his eyelids to earlobes were flushed from crying, and his blond hair stuck to his neck pitifully.

"August, please...don't look umm, don't look."

Little Silver Tail exudes a sweet breath unconsciously, so he must be punished.

August thought to himself.

He frowned rigorously, "No, Rhines, let me see what's wrong with you. If you are sick, I have to find a doctor for you."

"Don't want a doctor...don't..." Little Silver Tail was crying so hard that he couldn't make a sound, and shook his head whimpering.He tried in vain to get away from August, completely forgetting that there was no room behind him to hide.

Oggestley suddenly exerted force maliciously, pulling Rhines's folded legs apart, and a small piece of soft scales in the sockets of the legs that the owner didn't even notice was completely exposed under the dangerous dark blue pupils.

!

If it is an ordinary human being, it needs to consume a sufficient amount of flesh and blood to start transforming in a short time.But Rhines was different, a small amount of mermaid blood was enough to stimulate the blood that had been dormant for a long time.

Although not enough to allow him to grow a real tail, small soft and delicate scales will grow on the side of the leg and the outside of the ankle.

The soft flesh on the calf sank obediently with a slight pinch, allowing people to easily grasp the bones in it.This is the side effect of the merman blood.

In the next few days, Rhines' leg muscles will gradually lose the ability to contract, and in the end he can only become a small cripple who needs to be hugged by others.

until he develops a tail.

After all, human legs are not the limbs of mermaids, and the awakened blood will naturally produce rejection reactions.

August pinched the soft scale maliciously, and slowly stroked along the edge with two fingers as if he didn't understand anything.Reines held his sobs in his throat, like a kitten pinched by the back of its neck, not daring to move.

That piece of skin was as sensitive as freshly scarred skin, and every tiny bit of stimulation seemed to directly poke Rhines' soul, making one want to scream out loud.

The silver scales can even be bent into arcs, and the edges faintly reflect rainbow-like shimmer under the light, which is fragile and beautiful in the eyes of any creature.

Only its owner has no intention of admiring it.

Rhines begged softly, unconsciously, "Don't touch it, it hurts. Um, it hurts."

Little liar, August smiled cryptically.The merman's tail is an extremely ferocious weapon, but only when they open their bone scales when they enter the attack state.

In addition, the friction of the tail is an extremely ambiguous signal of courtship.They are flexible and sensitive, licking along the crevices, and can easily make their partners tremble against the reef.

He grabbed Rhines' ankle and pushed it upwards, and he made excuses in a righteous manner, "Let me see where these things grow. Rhines, you can't hide your illness and hide it from your doctor."

Rhines seemed to be frightened, his moist lips were pursed and he dared not speak.

He watched August slowly frown, as if the situation under his legs was more serious.Just looking at his expression, Rhines even suspects that scales that do not belong to humans have grown from that piece of skin.

He was afraid that August would say he looked like a snake or a lizard.

But in fact, it was as white as a whole piece of suet jade.

August put Rhines' ankle directly on his shoulder, regardless of whether his ligaments could withstand the pull.

Or, he did it on purpose.

After all, this posture can see a rose-colored wet red.

Rhines didn't know at all, he didn't know what kind of treatment he would get, so he could only pray in his heart that the situation would not be too serious.Finally, the judgment came, and August's cold fingertips touched a little above the bend of his leg——

"It's here too, here, here, can you feel it, Rhines? It's scattered, do you want to touch it yourself?"

"Don't..." Rhines responded in a crying voice, his back felt cold.

August looked up at him, and saw that the handsome young man was crying so hard that he could hardly breathe.

"If it's just on the legs, you can still cover them with pants," August analyzed coldly, "But Rhines, what if they continue to grow until you can't even stretch out your hands to show others? "

"They'll pinch your wrist and ask what these scales are, and you might be able to cover them with gloves at that time."

"But what if it grows on your face in the end? They won't affect the appearance of Rhines, they will only make you look like an elf with mother-of-pearl on it. My Rhines is already beautiful, will there be nobility? Master arrested you and put you in a cage for collection?"

"I will definitely. If it were me, I would also lock Rhines at home and never let others see it."

"No, August, don't do this, um, I don't want to be locked up..." Rhines cried and shook his head.

He didn't know why August said these words suddenly, but he was really frightened.Rhines was born in the Sauk family, of course he knew the methods of those nobles.

August leaned closer, "Then why did you hide it from me? Rhines didn't want me to find out just now, right? Do you want to hide yourself, and then cry when someone finds you and takes you away?" I call for help?"

If someone can peel open the heart of the merman priest, they will find that the evil god's personality there has half melted and is glued together with the vascular fascia.

The favorite food of the evil god born of evil thoughts is dark emotions, which he likes by nature, jealousy, rage, grief, and ecstasy.But all the emotions he had tasted before were not as delicious as Rhines' panic at this time.

This was all bullied by him.

August's dark blue pupils didn't miss a single detail, and remembered all of Rhines' expressions.

He wanted to control himself, but it was his nature.

August excused himself in his mind.

But his hands were mercilessly kneading the place where the soft scales grew, from the legs to the sides, almost reddish under the silver flakes, Rhines whimpered and looked at him with azure eyes, but didn't Get a little pity.

In fact, Rhines should be thankful, the merman is considered an adult when he enters the growth period. If this standard is followed, Rhines has already been suppressed by his limbs, and opened the inside mercilessly.

But he hasn't transformed yet, August can only control himself, otherwise he will definitely break Little Silver Tail.

"August..." Rhines wiped away his tears, panic and grievance welled up, "I don't know why I grow these things... I don't want to go to the doctor, they will say I'm a monster. "

He was terrified, and August's cold attitude seemed to be treating a monster.But the false memory confuses Rhines, and he subconsciously seeks comfort from the bamboo horse.

Rhines was crying vaguely, and trembled coldly, because August tilted his head and kissed Rhines' calf.

August looked at him seriously, "Lines is not a monster."

The scales of silver-tailed sharks are the most beautiful color in the deep sea. If they have a lover, each scale that falls off will be carefully hidden in the nest by the lover.

August rubbed Rhines' calf with the side of his face, "No one will say that about you. If there is, I will cut off his tongue."

……

"But I'm sick..." Rhines' eyes were full of helplessness, "I've seen patients like this in books, they said it's called greyscale, and it's a curse from the devil. I'm going to become a monster ?"

August gritted his teeth, his little silver tail actually thought that the changes in his body came from something so cheap as a demon.

"Lines, I'm going to be angry."

Rhines didn't know what he said wrong, and he tightened his fingers helplessly.

August pressed closer. In this posture, he could completely control Rhines under his body, without any room to escape.

"You will not be a monster, my Rhines is the most beautiful treasure."

It's his little silver tail, the little queen.

If it was normal, Rhines would definitely avoid his approach.But now, how could the panicked Rhines guess that the one who caused all this was the tough yet extremely gentle August in front of him.

He was soothed, and he looked at August unreservedly with his slender neck up.It seems that at this time, you can do anything to him, just pick and choose.

Little did he know, this was exactly what August wanted, for which he had endured for a long time.

August helped Rhines wipe away his tears, and rubbed his fingertips at the corners of Rhines' red eyes, "Don't go out anytime soon, I will ask for leave from Neder Bank. Rhines just stay at home, and I Go to the black market to see if there is a suitable doctor."

He rubbed the side of Rhines' neck and coaxed, "Rhenes will be good, right? You don't want to be caught by outsiders, and then locked in a cage for exhibition, or locked in a dark basement with chains to fix your limbs Or give Rhines medicine, the kind of medicine that needs to be touched and stroked to dissolve, will Rhines act like a baby and beg for comfort..."

Rhines hurriedly covered his mouth, trembling and unable to speak.

August's eyes curved slightly, God knows how happy he was.

Like a sea monster with countless ugly tentacles, he entangled Rhines' body bit by bit, injecting relaxing venom with his attached teeth.Wait until Rhines is completely used to the existence of the tentacles before pulling him into the deep sea.

But now, he was already entangled with Rhines, and he was almost there.

August hugged Rhines and got up, the mental and physical exhaustion made the little Silver Tail in his arms exhausted, hugging his shoulder and sobbing.The whole person has a pink color that is easy to bully.

After getting out of the bathroom, Rhines realized belatedly under the cold wind that he hadn't put on any clothes until now, and his toes curled up in shame.

"It doesn't matter," August kissed him on the top of his hair, "I'll like Rhines in any way, everything is beautiful."

Rhines' eyelashes were wet and stuck together. He originally wanted to take a bath, but now he made himself even more embarrassed.

"...August, I'm so scared."

He buried his head in August's arms like a cub seeking refuge, letting out a whimper.But above, where Rhines couldn't see, August silently raised the corners of his lips.

It was an evil smile exactly like the Devil card.

"It's okay, I will protect Rhines." August promised, showing his vertical pupils uncontrollably, and there was even a little blood red in the depths.

Thousands of years ago, Silvertail, who was threatened by sea monsters, was shivering like this and was hugged and comforted by Blacktail.Its tail would get tangled up a little bit, and it would end up falling asleep defenseless.

He had no idea that the monsters outside had been controlled by Heiwei long ago.

It can be seen that the cunning and violent creatures like the Merman have never changed.

Rhines was put on the bed, and August carefully covered him with a smooth silk blanket, "Take a nap."

It was as if he neither forced Rhines to spread out his legs to show him the abnormal soft scales, nor lied to Little Silvertail that his legs could no longer see people, nor threatened people with obscene and excessive words.

Rhines was so tired that his eyelids drooped, and he gradually fell asleep under August's comfort.

After realizing the last bit, Rhines vaguely remembered the last time he spent with his mother when he was a child.

The woman who was still beautiful even when she was dying was lying on the bed, panting with difficulty.Little Rhines was only ten years old. He thought it was because there had been no fresh air in the room for too long, so he wanted to open the window.

But at that moment, the mother suddenly stretched out her thin wrist and grabbed Rhines.She stared at Rhines, tears welling from the same eyes.

There was light coming in from the window, and Rhines remembered that he vaguely saw something tiny glowing on the top of her ear.

Thousands of years ago, there were indeed merman bloodlines who slipped through the net after the disaster, but most of them would not survive to awaken their bloodlines.

I don't know whether to use misfortune or luck to make Rhines' mother pregnant. She was pregnant with Rhines before she was an adult, so she also passed on the blood to the child.

But even then she didn't make it past her 27th birthday.

In the last few minutes, when her bloodlines were fully erupted, she actually obtained the memories of her ancient ancestors, and touched the spreading lines on the trajectory of fate.

At that time, she wanted to remind Rhines, but there was no time left.

Rhines was lying on his side on the bed, his red eyelids from crying seemed to have been purposely dabbed with balm, beautiful and charming.

August bent down slightly, greedily breathing in the breath of Little Silver Tail.

--not enough.

This can only be regarded as the benefit of dessert, how can it be enough?

The translucent black scales on the side of the face slowly emerged, and August propped himself on top of the sleeping Rhines, slowly revealing his true form as a mermaid.

Rhines regards him as a friend, as a younger brother, and even now as the only support he can rely on, but it is not yet love.

A greedy creature like a merman can never bear to make things up, he wants all of Rhines' emotions to stay on himself, so as not to be fooled by Little Silver Tail.

Pressing down on the quilt with terrifying claws, August raised his body and moved away from Rhines bit by bit.

The sweetness in front of him is extremely attractive, but if he wants to get the little silver tail, the merman must learn to delay gratification.

It was completely dark outside the window, and the night began, and there were many more security officers patrolling the streets.I don't know what happened recently, the businessmen and tourists who came and went, even the local residents began to disappear.

No matter how the Internet wants to block the news, it is inevitable that people will discuss it.

August, of course, can make things leak-free. After all, he now has a strong enough hypnotic ability to make the relatives and friends of those missing people never remember that this person existed.

But there was no need, he would have been fishing.

August stood by the window looking down, his back slightly arched, in a posture ready to hunt.

He looked at the sheriffs, who were looking at the house, consciously or not.Although this small town is next to the port, its folk customs are simple and comfortable, and the magistrates are all short and fat.

But today, there are many strong and tall "newcomers" among them.

It has to be said that, as the face of the empire, the soldiers in the Kenly Legion are still impressive in appearance.

August smiled. It looked like the fish had been hooked.

Reines let out an unconscious murmur in his deep sleep. He instinctively realized what was about to happen, but his body and consciousness were powerless to resist.

August walked around the bed, bent down and pulled a cloth bag from the closet.He opened it casually, and in the dim moonlight outside the window, he could see a neatly folded uniform of the sheriff.

——This is what August left on purpose.

The small building on the second floor was quiet. Two minutes later, a black figure emerged from the low window on the first floor, walked lazily across the garden, and climbed out of the railing.

The young "sheriff" stood on the road and looked up at the window of the bedroom on the second floor.When Rhines wakes up again, how scared he will be.

There was a sound of footsteps coming closer and closer behind him. The man probably thought he was covering up well, and even waited for a while before patting August.

"You, why did you come here?" The visitor lowered his voice and asked in a low voice, "Didn't the higher-ups say that criminals should not be alarmed?"

A smile flickered across August's eyes, but when he turned around, he was already a little impatient, "The person inside must have already fallen asleep, what's so interesting."

The magistrate was baffled by this group of unqualified young masters.

Although the above said that the target of this arrest mission is the murderer who fled here, and more than a dozen people died in his hands.But the sheriff secretly said that this was simply blown out.

Maybe it's just two innocuous thieves who boasted about being murderers just to add to the resumes of these soldiers.

If the higher-ups really wanted to catch them, they would definitely not let these idiots come.

But the magistrate had no choice, and he couldn't disobey the order, "The arrest work has always been like this, why don't you go over there and rest for a while."

August sneered, "It's not about arresting now. With so many people guarding here, am I one more?"

The magistrate murmured for a moment, and could only follow his words, "Why don't you go back and rest first, and I'll call you when it starts."

……

The sheriff raised his head carefully, seeing that August had no dissatisfaction, he cursed inwardly.What the hell, don't you just want to be lazy, a dog raised.

While cursing, he still took August to an unobtrusive hotel on the opposite corner of the street.

This building was originally used for merchant business, but it was temporarily requisitioned tonight.

August stopped at the door, "Are they all here?"

The sheriff nodded hurriedly.

Under the orange light, the soldier seemed to be smiling, and the speed was so fast that the sheriff even suspected that he had made a mistake.

"I see." August looked down at him, his pupils elongated and shrunk in an instant, glowing slightly like a beast in the dark.

! ...

The sheriff stared blankly at him, motionless.

"How many people are there?"

"...Seventeen, not eighteen."

"How did Opern explain to you?"

August opened the door leisurely, and the movement here immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers inside.

"Who?"

"If you don't want to come back sooner, it's too noisy..."

"...fucking shut the door quickly."

The magistrate turned a deaf ear and explained the plan word by word, "The above said that we need to make some preparations first, let us wait. After the red signal flare is sent out, those who are standing by will rush in to arrest people.

I don't know what the preparation was, but I saw people in black robes bring a lot of colored powder or small bottles there, and then kneel on the ground to draw things with a brush, and there are heavy guns upstairs. "

"When you catch it, someone from above will come to see it in person. They have prepared iron cages and chains, and the boat is parked at the No. [-] Ferry on the left. It is a huge warship.

Yes, the cage is weird, and a woman has a lot of teeth-like things hanging on it. "

"If all goes well, the ship will be able to set off tonight. It says that the criminals will be brought to the imperial capital for trial, so let's be quicker..."

Through a door, people come in and out of the corridor from time to time, but only behind this door is the quietest.

-------------------------------------

The witch suddenly raised her head, and the legs of the chair creaked horribly, startling the unsuspecting research institutes behind.

"What's wrong with you?" Opin asked with a frown.

The witch covered her head, and suddenly glared at Opern fiercely, "I saw betrayal."

...?

The researcher subconsciously looked at the dean. Although Opern's thin face showed no expression, the researcher confirmed that it was not a guilty conscience after being exposed.

Oppen: "I don't understand what you're talking about."

The witch got up and said coldly, "We are the only two partners. I have no subordinates or entourage. I am under your nose all day long. If the direction of fate is stained with betrayal, only you can do it. "

"Opern, what did you do behind my back?"

Opern didn't speak, he was thinking about whether the witch's words were true.

What Miko wants is to eliminate the threat and let the development of human beings go back to the past.What Opern wants is to become a god, to forge a new order.

Just looking at the present, the two of them can indeed cooperate.But as soon as the merman was caught, the confrontation began.

Miko has nothing but divination, if she is for the purpose, start preparing now...

It is not impossible to ask O'Pern to suspend the arrest, or to add someone else, on the ground of seeing a betrayal.

Opin's eyes were already filled with suspicion, he said slowly, "Then what do you want?"

The witch immediately realized what he was thinking, "You think I'm lying? Oppern, not everyone is like you."

"It does not matter."

Opern got up, and the white robe that was originally ordered by the tailor after measuring the size was hanging empty on his body, "The important thing is what do you want to do? The arrest will start soon."

The witch was so angry that her lips turned white, "I will use the mirror technique to examine everyone's thoughts, otherwise the arrest cannot begin."

"No!" The voice was called by the researcher. "You said that the merman's partner is around, which means that he is growing rapidly every day. These days, the number of missing people in the town has reached more than [-] people. Confronting the gods, our only advantage is time."

Miko: "A cruel god and a group of greedy human beings, I really can't tell who is more terrifying. Opern, either do as I say, or I will..."

Before the words were finished, Opern suddenly grabbed the crossbow and faced the witch.

There was no warning at all, the sound of the button being opened was inaudible, if the witch hadn't squatted down in time, she would have been stabbed through the throat.

"you!"

The researcher approached in two steps, and stabbed the witch's back with a heavy needle. The turbid yellow potion with a coma effect was quickly injected, and it took only two seconds to take effect.

"She is useless, if she is killed, she will be explained as missing." Opern ordered lightly.

The researcher hesitated for a moment, "Your Excellency, you are no longer able to perform divination, so keep it. Just lock her in the dungeon."

……

Opern coughed twice at first, and then it became more violent. The researcher was at a loss.

"Then keep it, but you can't stay here. There will always be more people who can know their fate than we can see." Opern said hoarsely, "You take her back now, Kenly's side Take care of it and don't let him get in our way."

"Yes."

At the beginning, Kenley said in front of people that he would only give him three days, but when Opern brought two boxes of gold coins to see him, the general handed over all the soldiers around him to the institute without hesitation.

It's just that when he goes back this time, for the sake of face, Kenley will definitely take O'Pern to the knife.

Therefore, the assistant researcher needs to deal with chores one day in advance to ensure that these will not affect Oppern's plan.

Everything was perfect, and Opern walked down the stairs. The street was already covered with various formations drawn by the researcher, presenting an ancient and treacherous encirclement around the small two-story building in the center.

This time, Opern vowed not to let the merman escape again.

--"boom!"

The flames suddenly blazed in the distance, and Opern turned his head in disbelief, only to see that the roofs of two small buildings more than ten meters away were blown off at the same time.

Screams and panicked footsteps sounded from all around, all the sleeping residents were awakened, curses and inquiries were heard, and when the first person who walked out of the house realized what had happened, he immediately screamed.

Soon, all the voices turned into panicked and dazed cries.

Opern's face was extremely ugly. The special smell of gunpowder in the air could tell it was made by the research institute. It should have been put on the ship. Why was it brought here and detonated?

A researcher ran up cautiously and asked what to do.

"...According to the original plan, arrest people now, immediately! Quick!"

O'Brien yelled at him.

"Yes!"

"Hurry up! Go now."

Betrayer... the witch's prophecy is actually true?No, it's also possible that she arranged all of this...

But now the assistant researcher has taken the witch to the boat, and there is no time to find it.After the merman was frightened, he might run away or follow his breath to kill him, so he had no choice but to hurry up and catch him.

……

Opern closed his eyes and took a breath, then turned and left.

At this time, Rhines' eyelashes trembled and slowly opened.

"O...August?"

He was woken up by the loud noise outside, but after waking up, Rhines realized that he seemed to have a fever, his whole body was scorching hot, and he had no strength at all.

Probably caught a cold in the bathroom at night.

Rhines thought, pulling back the blanket with great effort, leaving his shoulders to his chest exposed.

My mind was full of chaos, and I only knew to go to August.But the sound he hummed was not much louder than a mosquito, and August probably didn't hear it either.

Unreasonable grievances suddenly surged up, and the sockets of the eyes turned red all of a sudden.Rhines hugged the pillow and moved towards the door, calling August's name in a low voice.

He didn't have a fever, all the changes in his body were due to the formations that Opern asked the researchers to draw.Although thousands of years have passed, the alchemist's response to the merman is still useful.

This is also the reason why Opern can safely hand over the arrest to his subordinates.

Reines only moved a short distance before lying on the bed to breathe weakly. At this moment, he heard the violent sound of the downstairs door being kicked open.

!

August?

No, August has the key, there is no need to kick the door.Combined with the explosion outside just now, could it be that there was a riot?

Rhines' shoulders trembled subconsciously, and his first reaction was to remind August to get out of here quickly.

At this time, August, who was missed by the beautiful blonde beauty, was standing in front of everyone wearing a researcher's large black robe.

If someone looked closely, he would find that the eyes of all the soldiers and researchers behind him were dull and unified.

Their spirits have been crushed, there is no thinking, only August's orders.As long as the mermaids move their minds, they can make them do anything.

The soldier standing at the end raised his hand to stop the sheriff, "Wait here, this is our criminal, don't mess around, understand."

He glanced back at the crowd as if warning, and followed the steps of his companions.

To be precise, he just followed in the footsteps of "August".

The leader walked very carefully, as if he was afraid of some kind of trap set by the vicious criminals.But every step did not restrain the sound of footsteps, as if it was deliberately heard by the people hiding above.

Think about it carefully, this is not arresting fugitives.The obviously cunning and evil hunter is showing all his patience, teasing and frightening the pure and poor prey.

"How do they know it's on the second floor?" A sheriff asked his companion in a low voice, "They didn't even look at the first floor."

The companion shrugged his shoulders, and replied angrily, "Who knows, I don't think they need to run so far, just make an 'arrest' in the imperial capital."

"whispering sound."

August heard it, but he didn't care.

Sweat slides down the sideburns to the chin, and it is still a bit of a burden to control more than 40 living people at one time.What's more, the formation formed by Opern is not useless to him.

But so worth it.

The "little criminal" in the room should have been scared to cry.

His emotions were too strong, and in the darkness, all the controlled humans had the same smiles on their faces.

Excited and looking forward to it.

Finally August took the doorknob.

He paused for two seconds. Some of the awakened residents outside the window had begun to cry, and some were looking for their relatives and friends. However, behind him in this area, there was a dead silence.

Suddenly, August slammed down the handle and kicked open the wooden door, causing it to slam with a loud bang.

"Where are the people?!" The rigorous young researcher frowned, and sternly ordered to the people behind him, "This layer is spread out!"

"Yes!"

"Ok."

Rhines hid under the bed, covering his mouth and not daring to make a sound.

The light from the kerosene lamp used at this time was not strong, and the space under the bed was small. If you didn't lie down on the ground, of course it would be impossible to find that there was a person hiding under the bed.

Rhines didn't know what happened, but if this matter had something to do with August, he couldn't be the one holding back.

The sound of footsteps resounded in the room, and Rhines pursed his lips and reddened his eyes, staring at the several pairs of black boots passing through the gap, his fingertips turned white with force.

But in fact, August was standing by the bed, staring at the quilt with a smile in his eyes, and leaning down a little bit to kiss the pillow that still had the body temperature of Little Silvertail.

Behind him, dull soldiers and researchers walked step by step according to the rhythm.

In the eyes of the sharks, these soulless human beings may only have this effect.

——Help him scare Rhines together.

Rhine felt that a full century had passed before the voice sounded again from above, "Your Excellency, there is no one in this house."

"Really? It looks like he escaped?"

"Yes, we found outward footprints in the garden, and they should have run away."

"Your Excellency, you must go after him immediately."

Tears flowed down the corners of his eyes and into the blond hair beside his ears. Reines sobbed a bit in grievance, and immediately bit his lower lip.

He was not found, and August appeared to be fine.

The next moment, Rhines heard a slight sound of cloth rubbing against each other.

The light that leaked in from the gap on the left was suddenly blocked, and the researcher in a black robe squatted down, half of his face was covered by a mask of the same texture, only a pair of dark pupils were exposed.

He looked at Rhines and probably smiled, "Didn't you find anything?"

"Then who is he?"

Rhines froze in place like a scared kitten until a large hand grabbed his ankle.

"Drag him out." The lead researcher ordered lightly.

Rhines pushed the man's hand away, and instinctively hid inside while whimpering.

The bed was cleaned very well by August, so it wasn't dusty.And Rhines is thin and thin, and it really can't be dragged out for a while.

He heard someone laugh, as if mocking his stupidity.

"Open the bed."

With a muffled sound, the beautiful blond youth had nowhere to hide.

The lead researcher stepped into the space framed by the wooden planks and squatted down, forcing Rhines to lean against the wall.

Everyone present was neatly dressed, even the researcher was completely wrapped up.

Only Rhines, with his neck, clavicle, shoulders and half of his chest exposed, August only gave him one
