The mermaid's raised hand suddenly stopped, and she stared blankly at the human opposite her.
—He seems angry.
—Why are you so cute when you’re angry
—I really want to hold you in my arms and rub you.
Baili Xin felt that his plan worked, so he simply sat in the water and placed the plate on his legs. He patted the pool next to him, and the mermaid immediately obediently followed his example and sat on it.
The people watching in the monitoring room were dumbfounded.
Dr. Blond: "Is this the most ferocious mermaid?"
Dr. Ole had a very complicated expression: "I was also surprised when I saw it for the first time."
Dr. Blond: "What's the difference between a mermaid and a human being? Can he really speak?"
Dr. Ole: "Haven't I shown you the surveillance footage? Don't you believe it?"
Blond Doctor: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, love can make a mermaid so lost. I never thought that a mermaid would be so love-brained. Could they have done it already?"
Dr. Ole's hair stood on end. "How is this possible? I was watching the surveillance camera the whole time!"
The blond doctor said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you act just like a parent who is worried that his daughter will be taken advantage of by a pig. But if something does happen, the mermaid will not suffer any loss."
"Dijia—" The voice of the mermaid came from the loudspeaker again. After practicing several times, the mermaid could already speak the words with standard pronunciation.
Dr. Blond: "Look, you've been studying Merman No. 1 for several years, but you didn't find that Merman could speak. But this human has been with Merman for such a short time and he has made Merman speak."
"He can save us a lot of time."
"You know, we don't have much time left. We have to find the mermaid's faith as soon as possible."
"People who only care about their own interests are the easiest to control. Just give them a little bit of delicious bait and they will become your puppets."
"You should have noticed that Mermaid No. 1 is different."
"It's just selling a body. Your No. 1 mermaid won't lose a piece of meat. Give it some sweetness when it's due."
"Perhaps the mermaid will become more obsessed with that human after having a great time."
"Since he is in love, let's make good use of it. That human is the bait. We can use him as bait to force Merman No. 1 to spit out what we want."
"Are you still worried that there won't be more No. 1 Mermaids when we find the Mermaids' faith?"
Dr. Ole looked at the man and the fish cuddling each other on the screen with a complicated expression.
…
The mermaid shouted "Dijia", pointed at herself, and then pointed at Baili Xin.
Baili Xin: "Are you asking for my name?"
The mermaid nodded quickly.
Baili Xin thought for a moment, then pulled the mermaid's hand and placed it in front of himself.
The mermaid's palms were very big, and his own two hands seemed just the size of his one hand.
After spreading the mermaid's palm, Baili Xin placed his index finger on the mermaid's palm and wrote a few symbols, "Do you remember?"
The mermaid had an excellent memory, and although it didn't know what the symbol that Baili Xin wrote on his hand meant, it still nodded.
"Okay," Baili Xin stood up and prepared to get the folder, "You must study hard later. Once you learn it, you will know it."
His clothes had already become wet due to being soaked in water. The rack was outside the swimming pool, and Baili Xin needed to go out to get the folder.
The mermaid stared at Baili Xin, and saw the young man stretching his waist and stepping out of the swimming pool.
The water made the young man's clothes stick tightly to his skin, outlining his beautiful curves.
Baili Xin took the folder and recorder in his hands and returned to it under the mermaid's gaze.
Facing the mermaid's eager gaze, Baili Xin said slowly, "Eat first, and I'll teach you after you finish eating."
Although she didn't know what the young man wanted to teach her, the mermaid still obediently brought the fish in front of her and began to eat it seriously.
Perhaps because it was in a hurry, the mermaid ate very quickly this time. But even so, its eating movements were still as elegant as before.
While it was chewing, Baili Xin silently observed the mermaid's teeth.
Smooth and neat, different from other mermaids.
Baili Xin subconsciously inserted his finger into it.
The mermaid had just swallowed a piece of fish and was about to eat the second piece when she suddenly felt a soft object in her mouth. She instinctively wanted to close her teeth, but just when her teeth were halfway closed, she suddenly realized that it was Baili Xin's finger.
It was startled and the biting action instantly turned into sucking.
The young man's fingers covered with water droplets were hidden in his mouth, and the tip of his tongue vaguely traced the shape of his fingers.
Baili Xin was stunned for a moment, and saw the mermaid looking at him helplessly with her finger in her mouth.
"Open your mouth," Baili Xin laughed, coaxing the merman in a gentle and persuasive way, "Ah - like me."
The mermaid opened her mouth reluctantly, revealing her healthy oral cavity, "Ah—"
His white fingertips gently rubbed the mermaid's teeth one by one. Baili Xin asked as he touched them, "Are your teeth like this naturally, or were they worn down like this by someone?"
The mermaid was afraid of biting the young man, so she didn't dare to speak. She just looked at Baili Xin with clear eyes.
After a while, Baili Xin took his hand off the mermaid's teeth and asked again, "Were your teeth polished like this by someone?"
The mermaid paused, then shook her head.
Baili Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s great. Although I don’t know why Dijia’s teeth are different in shape from those of other mermaids, at least he did not suffer the damage he had imagined.
"So do some mermaids have neat and straight teeth like you, while others have sharp fang-like teeth like other mermaids?"
Baili Xin raised another question.
Dijia nodded again.
"Why is this happening? Are they different species? Aren't you and the pointy-toothed mermen the same species?"
Dijia nodded, and this time added one more word: "Yes."
The blond doctor looked at the screen impatiently. "We have known about this discovery for a long time. Mermen are divided into two populations. Can we ask him for some useful information for us?"
Dr. Ole: “For example?”
Dr. Blond: "For example, what is the faith of mermaids, where is the faith of mermaids, and what secrets and powers does the faith of mermaids have."
Dr. Ole rolled his eyes and said, "The belief of mermen is taboo to mermen. Even if it likes this young man, it will not tell him."
Dr. Blond: "How do you know it won't work if you don't try? Just give it a try. It won't cost you a leg."
Dr. Ole: “…”
The mermaid finished eating quickly, and Baili Xin began to open the blue folder and teach it to pronounce syllable by syllable.
He taught very patiently and the mermaid learned very seriously.
Before she knew it, the mermaid had not only learned the pronunciation of the twenty vowels, but could also read out the correct pronunciation of the combinations by arranging them.
After learning it, it lowered its head thoughtfully, staring at the palm of its hand in a daze.
That was the arrangement of letters that the young man had just written on his hand, and below the arrangement of letters, he also wrote strange characters.
If it guessed correctly, the pronunciation of the letters was on top and the young man's name was on the bottom.
Therefore, the word "youth" is pronounced as "Baili Xin".
The horn above my head suddenly sounded.
"Ahem, I'm Dr. Ole, ask the mermaids what their beliefs are."
Baili Xin frowned slightly: "."
How could I possibly ask this question.
However, he still nodded into the loudspeaker, shouted "It costs extra money", and then looked at the mermaid with clear eyes.
The blond doctor complained speechlessly: "The person you found is really talented. He talks about money all the time. When this research project is finished, he will probably become a billionaire, right?"
Dr. Ole’s expression was indifferent, “If you put the money there, you might not be able to get it back alive.”
The blond doctor raised an eyebrow: "Hahahaha, you are so mean."
"Your faith..." A voice sounded in the camera, and Dr. Ole and Dr. Blond stopped talking instantly. They sat up straight unconsciously and looked at the screen nervously.
Just as the young man was about to ask the following question, the young man in the picture suddenly stumbled and plunged into the water.
The mermaid turned her back to the surveillance camera and pounced on the young man. The two people in the monitoring room couldn't figure out what the mermaid's action meant. Was she saving him or pulling him into the water
However, under the cover of the mermaid, they could still see the young man's movements. The young man struggled with his hands and feet for a few times on the water surface, and his body quickly disappeared from the water. A moment later, the blue folder and the recorder floated to the surface of the water.
Soon after the young man disappears, the mermaid also dives into the water, slapping her tail on the surface before completely disappearing from the frame.
Dr. Ole stood up from his chair in an instant and hurried out.
The blond doctor stopped him: "What are you going to do?"
Dr. Ole: "Go save people."
Dr. Blond: "Don't go yet, let's see what happens first."
The pool was very deep, and the water reflected the color of the surrounding tiles, so once the mermaid reached the bottom of the water, they would be unable to capture any trace of the mermaid on the screen.
Dr. Ole hesitated, "That human may be annoying, but he is very important to us right now. He is the only one who can loosen Number One, and he cannot die."
"Who said to let him die?" The blond doctor waved his hand. "People can usually survive within six minutes after drowning. It's only been less than a minute. What are you afraid of? Wait for another two minutes. It won't be too late to rescue him when the fourth minute comes."
"Didn't this human get dragged into the water by a mermaid and drowned before? Mermen are so smart, that incident should have made it realize that young people are different from them."
"Since this mermaid likes this human so much, she probably won't watch him die."
“But if the mermaid watched the young man die, then the mermaid’s previous actions were most likely just a form of hunting.”
"If that's the case, then this person isn't actually of much value to us."
"Do you think I'm right?"
Dr. Ole stood in front of the screen in astonishment. "Hunting behavior? Are you saying that mermaids lure humans to let down their guard and then hunt them?"
Dr. Blond: "That's right, so I think we don't need to do anything. We need to let this person know that our institute is not for him to threaten whenever he wants. We will also evaluate him. In this employment relationship, we are the ones in control, Dr. Ole. If he has no value, he will only be eaten by the mermaids as food."
"Haven't you noticed? The mermaid hasn't taken the initiative to eat for a long time since she saw the young man. In nature, some animals will stop eating two days or even a week in advance in order to leave room in their stomachs to swallow enough food. Although we haven't found this in mermaids before, it doesn't mean that mermaids don't have this habit."
"Perhaps we were all wrong from the beginning. The mermaid doesn't like this human, she just wants to eat him. After all, she is the overlord of the water, and hunting is her nature."
"You have a point," Dr. Ole sat back in his seat, "The mermaid is so smart. If it really likes this person, it will definitely save him."
At the bottom of the swimming pool, which was not visible to the camera, the young man in a white shirt stretched out his body and fell naturally. In front of him, a beautiful mermaid swam towards him, swaying its tail.
The mermaid looked a little panicked. It quickly approached and came in front of Baili Xin without saying a word. It opened its mouth and tightly held the young man's soft and moist lips, transferring the oxygen in its mouth to the young man's mouth.
