"Why have you been running to the research institute these two days?" It was a soldier who bumped into Joseph who was distracted, "Is there a new field opened on that street?"

"Ah? No!" Joseph quickly denied.

?

The companion turned to look at him inexplicably, his eyes gradually changed from doubt to understanding, "Why are you so excited?"

Joseph's arms tensed, "How could that be?"

The companion raised his hand and clapped, "Isn't it because I found some good place, I don't want to share it with us, haha."

The others who sensed something was wrong also surrounded him with smiles.

Soldiers like them patrol the main roads of the imperial capital a few times in the morning, at most half a day's shift, and the rest are free time.Just set a name and take money from the treasury.

Compared with the poor who work all day, they can use the taxes paid by the poor to go to the red light district to have fun.

So Joseph's "beautiful" in the past two days seemed out of place.

If you don't go drinking with them at night***, during the day you look preoccupied and don't know what you're thinking.

A soldier pushed him down, "What's the matter with you?"

"No, no." Joseph pushed them away, "It's a little thing, just leave it alone."

As he spoke, he took out a few silver coins from his pocket and threw them, "Have a good night."

After fooling these people, he ran forward without looking back, looking quite anxious.The companions left standing where they were and gave each other a wink.

"He didn't lose all his money in gambling, and he was ashamed in front of us?"

"Impossible. Joseph is much richer than us. His uncle has no children. The family property will belong to him in the future."

"Could it be that the family found a noble lady for you?"

"Why don't you...follow me and have a look?" Suddenly, a suggestion came up.

There is no need to continue to persuade, everyone has already taken the first step.

As for Joseph, he was almost at the institute.Of course, there are no noble ladies, and my mother plans to wait for him to have the title of baron before looking for a wife.

Joseph stopped at a distance from the gate of the institute. As usual, the gate of that building was still closed, with no intention of opening it.

And inside, the "spirit" that he has been thinking about is locked.

He was absent-minded, and accidentally bumped into a woman with her head covered when walking forward.

"Be careful!"

"Yes... my lord."

Joseph waved his hand irritably. Just now, he thought he was acting very concealed, but in fact, his insanity had already written the word "sickness" on his face.

There are not many people coming and going on this street. After all, it is far away from the commercial and residential areas, and a large area behind it is the royal garden.Joseph knew that there was no one there, but he still looked around nervously, then quickly walked around the research institute and walked back.

He had observed that the front of the research institute was tightly packed, and there was not even a single open window on the side, but there was a fountain connected to the lake at the rear to drain water.

Many nobles would set up this kind of fountain at home, using the natural power of the water flow to operate, so the passage is clean and wide, and it will not be too far from the entrance.

Very convenient to get in.

Joseph walked all the way, thinking about how to find the place where the young man was being held, and how to bring him out after he found it.

He just peeked through the gap three days ago, but that face that was too beautiful to be human has been engraved in his mind for a long time.

What would the academy do to him?Grip the body, then cut his skin with a knife to watch the muscles contract?When Joseph came home that night, he had a nightmare.

He dreamed that the blond boy woke up, looked at himself with wet eyes, seemed to be praying for something, and propped up his body and crawled towards this side with difficulty.

His wet red lips kept saying something, but he couldn't hear it clearly in his dream.Joseph saw himself frantically approaching the boy, and then the little thing as beautiful as an elf rubbed his palm with its soft golden hair.

"...help me...help me..." The young man shed a tear and put his face on the back of his hand, "help me, I don't want to die."

Panicked, there was something extra on the young man in front of him.Long strips of red marks spread all over the body, ambiguous and miserable.Joseph could recognize these scars, and the felons in the Imperial Prison would be whipped with this kind of whip when they disobeyed.And then, the boy suddenly screamed in fear, with blood and tears streaming from his eyes.

Because a hand suddenly grabbed his ankle.

Joseph looked up and saw only a black mist.The young man's soft crying sounded in his ears, and there was no more gentle touch under his hands.

After waking up, his whole body was sweaty, and what was even more embarrassing was that his pants were also dirty.

Since then, Joseph has wanted to rescue the boy from the institute.After all, how could such a beautiful creature be imprisoned by a group of rude people who don't know how to cherish it in the research institute.

If it's him...

Joseph licked his lower lip, not wanting to go any further.He turned over a bush, and in front of him was the lake connected to the research institute, as long as he entered from here...

"cha"

"Who?!" Joseph turned around and shouted loudly.

……

"It's us, it's us."

A soldier stood up, "Just to see what you're doing."

Joseph: "You!"

He was short of breath and instinctively didn't want to share the matter of the blond boy's ear with this group of people.

But the four or five companions were laughing and making noise around him, Joseph was not very determined, and he was not a good person who really wanted to rescue Rhines.

What's more, if it's only him.After Rhines is brought out, settlement is also a problem.It's impossible to take it home, and I still have to find a house on the most chaotic streets in the empire. Sooner or later, I will be discovered by this group of bad friends.

In the end, Joseph still explained what he was doing recently.

Got a burst of derision and curiosity from my peers.

"No way, I'll take your soul away with just one glance!"

"You're not a virgin anymore, why are you still so pure hahahahahahaha!"

Joseph pushed them quickly, "That's enough, stay if you want to help, or get out."

They immediately stopped laughing, unbuttoned the soft armor at the same time, took off their clothes and threw them on the grass while laughing.

Of course they had to go, and they were also curious about what the elf Joseph was talking about looked like.

It is noon now, the sun is getting hotter and hotter, the water source in the royal garden is crystal clear, it is cool and comfortable to jump in.The upstream water flow was not slow, and a white spray was shot around them.

Joseph: "I asked my family members. There are no patrols in the institute, but those researchers will run around. Be careful not to be exposed. Kenly and the emperor are standing behind them."

"Understood—" One person sneered nonchalantly, plunged into the water, and floated up from the bottom half a minute later, "I saw the entrance, it's over there, there's not even a net."

"Hey!"

Everyone got excited, and they all swam over there. The entrance of the cave was square, and there was no problem for the three of them to pass side by side.

Joseph didn't hesitate any longer, and swam straight to that side.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard an exclamation muffled in the water.

The source of the sound was behind him.

?

Joseph turned his head subconsciously, and what he saw was a large blur of dark colors.He didn't realize what it was for a while, until the fishy smell rushed to him with the water, and he recognized it as blood.

It is only because the light in the channel is too dark that the red color does not appear.

The blood was so thick that no one knew what happened behind. Joseph could only hear the faint screams and slaps in his ears.The blood was pushed away by the soldiers struggling, and Joseph finally saw what happened next.

Two huge lizard-like creatures were biting a companion's waist and shaking their thick necks at the same time. They were like crocodiles trying to tear a piece of flesh from this person.

!

How could this be? !

Joseph was cold all over, and suddenly raised his head, only to find that there were actually two such monsters clinging to the sunken rock wall on the top of the passage.

They were all hiding here just now, but they couldn't be seen from the outside at all.

The thick bloody smell quickly permeated the entire passage, and all sounds became indistinct underwater, but Joseph could be sure that he saw greed in the cloudy yellow eyes the moment the lizard monster looked up. .

—It also wants to kill itself.

Joseph was the fastest swimmer, and all the soldiers except him were bitten by this lizard-like monster.

A biting chill rushed to his heart from the soles of his feet, and Joseph swam forward sharply. , There is no retreat behind him, he can only swim in the direction of the research institute.

I don't know if these lizard monsters are afraid of light, or if they have enough food, they are already satisfied, but they didn't catch up.

The moment Joseph rushed out of the water, he struggled to climb ashore without daring to delay for a minute.

"Ho-ho..."

He sat slumped on the white bricks beside the waterway. This was a small square inside the institute, surrounded by white buildings in an arched shape.In the distance, the sound of water continued, and the fountain raised crystal water drops and landed on the water.

Under the sun, the statue of the Virgin Mary and the white dove in the center are opposed to the statues of the alchemists of the past, representing the purpose of the institute - to respect the gods, but never give up exploring.

In front of Joseph, there was blood red faintly overflowing from the entrance of the passage, but it would be washed away by more water soon, as if everything that happened just now was his illusion.

……

"I..." He stood up, the water dripping from his body, "I can't go out from here, I have to find the door, find the door."

His mind was in chaos, too many monsters beyond his cognition and the bloody scene in the passage made him terrified, he didn't even have the mind to think about what to do with his companions, and he used his hands and feet to stay away from the exit of the passage.

The research institute is quiet, as if there are no other creatures at all, and there is no way to show how to get out.

Joseph walked in the long corridor, his eyes rolling in their sockets, for fear that another monster would appear somewhere and swallow him up.Only then did he begin to regret his audacity.

But at the same time, there was also annoyance.

They must have been reared by the research institute privately, I want to report them to the emperor!Put them in jail!hang!

Joseph clenched his fists, and the next moment he was startled by the sudden sound of footsteps, and hid behind the stone pillar like a mouse.

Not far from him, a black-robed researcher came out of the end room, holding an empty wooden tray in his hand.The researcher didn't notice Joseph's presence at all, and walked past him until he went downstairs.

Joseph slowly turned his gaze to the door, stood up hesitantly, and finally chose to walk over.

After all, the wooden plate in the researcher's hand looks like he just gave some tea and water to the people inside, so this room may be the boss's office, and there may be a map in it.Or at least he could steal a piece of clothing and pretend to ask for directions.

Joseph thought so, he walked to the door silently, stretched out his hand to touch the cold and hard lines, and then slowly pushed it away.

Just a little gap.

It stands to reason that such a heavy and huge wooden door should make a "squeak" sound after long-term use, which is why Joseph is so careful.

But in fact, the shaft and wheel of the wooden door have been carefully repaired and maintained, as if the owner was afraid that the sound of opening the door would disturb the little lover inside.In the empire, even the nobles would not do this, after all, it was irrelevant and the cost was not low.

It's a pity that Joseph, who was frightened, couldn't appreciate this meticulousness. He walked in like a thief. The room should have a horizontal "day" structure, and several huge wooden frames were placed near the door. and two dining cars.

It's hard to imagine that this is actually a room in the research institute. The French windows on the front wall are wide and bright, letting the bright sunlight shine on the floor and half of the pool.

Yes, more than half of the area of ​​this room was used to dig a pool. The owner even carefully made arcs on the edges with colored glass to ensure that there are no edges and corners.

If it wasn't for the limitation of the material, he would even replace the inside with something soft to ensure that the fragile little silver tail wouldn't be hurt.

On the other side, there was a faint sob.

At this time, it was the best choice for Joseph to leave quietly.But not knowing what was guiding him, the pale-faced young soldier walked slowly to the wall and stretched out one eye.

……

Then he couldn't move.

Joseph's brown eyes slowly moved inwards, and then stared fixedly there.

There, the blond boy he was thinking of was being held in the arms of another person, comforting him softly.

Rhines was wearing a dark shirt, and anyone with a discerning eye would be able to realize that this size would definitely not belong to Rhines himself.Obviously, it's from August.

As a "prisoner" of the institute, Rhines is of course not qualified to ask for clothing that is enough to cover up his shame.But there is no way, the researcher who guards him is August.

Under Rhines' soft and shy pleading, the little bamboo horse finally disobeyed the orders of his superiors and found Rhines a piece of his own clothes.

Just enough to reveal the snow-white neck and the entire collarbone line, Rhines' fingers stretched out, and the pink fingertips were weakly clutched on August's sleeve, pitiful.

Rhines looked down at his legs, where there was an extremely crystal white, and the scales that originally only existed on the sides and bends of the legs had grown to the knees.There is no way to wear clothes there, and the silk will rub the delicate new scales red.

Joseph stared at the two people in the room.

The boy was held in August's arms, half of his face was hidden in front of his chest, his eyes were foggy, and the ends of his eyes were all red.He just lay there with his lips pressed together in a straight line.

But August was not satisfied, and stretched out his hands to knead the soft skin.

Rhines was powerless to resist, and let his tricky fingers poke in, touched the white teeth jokingly, and then pressed the edge and lifted it gently.

"Don't bite your tongue, Rhines, or I'll put a shackle on you."

The little beauty flinched.

He doesn't like that metal utensil, and he can't control his saliva every time he wears it, and even if he takes it off, his jaw will be sore, and it will take a long time to recover.

But Rhines always felt embarrassed to act coquettishly, after all August was still a little younger than him.He licked the intruder flatteringly, trying to reconcile with him, but the tip of his tongue, as obedient as his master's, was immediately caught by his fingers.

Under the transformation, the body has no strength at all.Rhines lay his head down, aggrievedly sticking out the tip of his tongue for August to touch.

Now all the voices could not be held back in his throat, when the calf muscles twitched again, Reines let out two sobbing sounds unbearably.

"Uncomfortable?" August asked.

He cared about every reaction of Rhines like the most considerate lover.

In the past two days, the shark has already completed half of his lie.

First of all, it is a fact that Rhines has mermaid blood, and August easily confirmed this with the reaction of Rhines mother.Next, he told the panicked little Silvertail that of course he wouldn't turn into that horrible monster in the laboratory.

You are the purest shark.

What the research institute is doing now is to fuse humans with that kind of monster.Because if successful, many terminal illnesses will be avoided.Of course, this part is also true, Ou Poen once lied to the nobles in this way.

In the end, August filled the void.

They have already manufactured the semi-finished medicine, which is the batch that was stolen out before.The thieves seemed to be experimenting with innocent civilians.

Normally, civilians either die or fail to respond.But because of Rhines' blood, he gave birth to a transformation.

In this way, even after Rhines loses hypnosis and remembers everything, August can make up for the loopholes and let everything develop as he planned.

As for Rhines, he accepted this explanation helplessly after being in disbelief.It was too close to the truth, his mother's symptoms before her death, the folk rumors about the institute, and his current transformation, he couldn't help but believe it.

And then, that's it.

August seems to have gained the trust of the upper echelons of the research institute and obtained all the custody rights of Rhines, so he was placed in the room to welcome the transformation with peace of mind.

For this, Rhines had to drink a small cup of dark golden liquid every day.

This is the "potion" made by the research institute, and August will steal it for him every day.

Rhines glanced down at his legs, then immediately retracted his gaze and buried his entire face in August's chest.

Rhines used to have a pair of slender, straight, fair legs, so beautiful that no one would doubt her gender even if she wore a skirt.But now, his legs are stretched again.

Human leg bones are degenerating, as if they were stretched out by hands.The skin is thinner, especially the light blue blood vessels at the ankles are clearly visible, and every place that is raised due to the meridians of the bones is slightly dark pink.

There is a kind of fragile to morbid aesthetic feeling.

What made Rhines even more flustered was that the skin on his legs became extremely vulnerable.

A little bit of bumping or even unconscious friction would make his skin turn dark red or bruised, as if someone had abused him.

So now, Rhines moved his toes a little, and the sticky medicine was squeezed out from between his fingers.During the transformation process of the merman, in order to avoid wounds, both of his legs were doused with this special potion by August for protection.But it wasn't comfortable, they wrapped around Rhines' body and slowly flowed down, there was a kind of itchy feeling of being stroked.

Rhines could only lie on August and endure.

Because even if he moved a little bit, the changing muscles in his legs would ache.This feeling of being completely out of control made him inexplicably panic.

Every muscle began to twitch irregularly, tormenting little Rhines all the time, he couldn't sleep, and he didn't have the appetite to eat.

August would feed him small spoonfuls, bowing his head and kissing occasionally.Every night when Rhines was uncomfortable waking up, he would softly coax her, hold those two legs and massage them carefully.

Occasionally, August's body will change, and the little bamboo horse will hide in the bathroom shyly and anxiously.Restraint and caring.

But Rhines never knew that August would only vent | when he held his worn shirt over his face and sniffed it.

After a few days, Rhines had lost his vigilance under the approach like a frog boiled in warm water.

He needed August by his side all the time.

Although Rhines couldn't say it out loud, the changes in his body and his weakness made him feel no sense of security at all, and he sought shelter like a cub.

Joseph was not too far away from the two, he could hear Rhines' pitiful trill, and naturally he could also hear August's soft inquiry.

"I drank a lot of water just now, do you want to go to the toilet?"

……

Rhines buried himself in his arms and did not speak.

After the legs lost the ability to move, even the hip bones were sore and limp. Rhines could only rely on August for excretion.

August rubbed his chin against him, stretched his fingers forward, and finally pressed twice on the lower abdomen, "Lines?"

……

"...bad guy."

Joseph stared at this scene, he didn't know what he was thinking, but what was certain was that if he were to replace this man, he would definitely do something even worse.

For just a moment, his breathing was heavy for a moment, and the man inside raised his head without a trace.

"Go and get something." August lightly bit the tip of Rhines' ear, got up and walked this way.

!

Joseph suddenly realized something was wrong, and wanted to find a place to hide, but he found himself unable to move.

The next second, a hand was already holding his head.

August silently dragged him away from the door, and the next moment, he crushed Joseph's head with eyes open.

He stared at the bright red hands, and August lost his eyes slightly.

It's strange, why has this man not been discovered until now?

And in a certain hotel in the imperial capital, the witch leaned on the table and panted heavily.Had Joseph been alive, he would have recognized this as the woman who bumped him in the road.

At this time, the last scene Joseph saw before his death was stopped in the crystal ball in front of the witch.

The blond boy was lying on the cushion, pure and depraved.

This is the partner that the evil god worked so hard to get.

The author has something to say: [Review, is it interesting for you to stare at the mermaid's legs that are growing their tails? That part is about the potion poured on Shou's legs in order to avoid injury. Please refer to the context, it's not for the two of them to doi.]
