When I walked into the deep-sea laboratory again and smelled the damp smell, I could not help covering my mouth and nose with my clothes, and took a deep breath of the medical-smelling air, barely relieving the inexplicable dizziness , I don’t even know why, I didn’t even dare to look up at the underwater world behind the circular glass, looking for the figure of Agares.
I was actually a little afraid to see it, or rather, him.
After being reminded by Da Vinci's guess, I really can't see the mermaid as an ordinary beast, it's too embarrassing.
I lowered my head and followed Shaqalal's footsteps up the spiral staircase to the floor above the cabin door. This is a laboratory located above the circular reservoir. The ground is completely transparent glass. Standing in it, it feels like my feet are floating. On the surface of the deep blue sea, the shoals of fish below you seem to be changing and drifting clouds, which makes people feel refreshed.
Out of the corner of my eye, I couldn't help but search for Agares among the fish. Fortunately, I didn't see his trace, and my heart couldn't help but relax a little.
"What are you looking for, that nasty beast?" A cold hand on my shoulder startled me. When I turned my head, I saw Rhine staring at me inquisitively. I suddenly panicked. Reflexively argued: "What nonsense, dirty beast, why do you use this adjective? Dude, I remember you bragging to me that mermaids are charming banshees before you caught mermaids!"
"But this is a male, a savage and vicious male. Desaro, don't be fooled by the appearance of this beast!" Rhine's face darkened, as if recalling something from my face, strongly Enduring his anger, he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "This guy treats you..."
"Look, Desaro, this is our masterpiece!"
Shakaral shouted from the front, and I raised my head accordingly, and saw that the inner wall of a black column in the center of the laboratory lowered downwards, exposing the transparent glass shell inside. When the scene inside was completely presented in front of my eyes, I He couldn't help but immediately let out a heartfelt exclamation.
That's a female mermaid! God!
My gaze was firmly attracted, and my feet involuntarily stepped towards the column, leaning against the edge of the glass shell, and I couldn't believe my eyes.
"Her name is Lilith, she is very beautiful, isn't she? This is the product of mermaid cells brought back from the coast of Australia by an old doctor of the research institute 20 years ago. She has been frozen for a long time, so, Looks very weak."
Shakaral explained behind him.
Yes, she looks that vulnerable. But this kind of fragility makes this female mermaid have a kind of beauty that is as clear as dust. When I watched her, I didn't think of Rhine's adjective at all, because she didn't look like a banshee, but more like a pure angel.
It was a tropical red-tailed mermaid, and I guess her short lifespan might have something to do with the cold water temperature here. She has silver-white hair, floating in the waves like a piece of holy snow, causing a layer of crystal mist to exude a layer of crystal mist on her already white and bluish skin, and a pair of light green eyes are hazy, as if she is crying.
Mermaid is very sad.
My mood was inexplicably moved by the eyes of the mermaid, and I felt that there was such a deep sadness in the eyes of this mermaid cloned by human beings, as if I was sighing for my lonely and powerless fate.
"I'm sorry... don't be afraid, you'll be with your kind soon, okay?"
I put my hand on the glass arm and looked at her sincerely with my mouth. The man's desire to protect gave me an urge to appease this fragile and beautiful creature. A breathless sense of guilt weighed on my chest. Although I and Shaqallar both wanted to explore everything about mermaids and understand them, but at the same time I felt that this kind of cloned mermaid could not keep her alive for a long time. How offensive the behavior of the experimental subject is to this magical creature.
Research and cultivation are two different things, and we have no right to dictate their fate.
"Hey Shakaral, is this really the right thing to do?"
Although it is clear that there is no better way to appease the irascible Agares so that the research can continue, the sadness of the mermaid makes me suddenly hesitate, "If the mating is successful... I mean, if the female mermaid is successfully conceived, Can we successfully preserve the mermaid embryos and make them grow smoothly? And these two mermaids are from different waters, if the born mermaids grow to a certain age, how can we judge where to release them?"
"I'm sorry, my little maester." Shakral approached me, leaned against the outer glass wall, shrugged indifferently, and replied expressionlessly with a face as beautiful as an ice sculpture: "We didn't plan to In the long run, there is no preparation for releasing the bred mermaid seedlings. You need to understand that we are not the same kind of people as you, Desaro."
"The same kind of person?" I was confused by these few words, but when I wanted to continue to ask, Shakaral raised his hand and made a simple gesture, and I heard a plop in my ear, "Wait Wait!"
I shouted, but it was too late to stop Lilith from falling into the reservoir, her long white hair was smeared in the water, like a layer of melting ice.
An ominous premonition suddenly spread from my heart, I felt my heart beating faster, and the inexplicable sense of panic made me clenched my fists, and my eyes followed Lilith's figure and sank down, watching her slowly and gracefully swaying Holding the tail of the fish, he gradually started to swim freely, as if he sensed the male hormone released by Agares, and started looking for his trace.
Agares, where are you? Your kind, your spouse has appeared!
I was thinking silently in my heart, anxiously and restlessly looking forward to his appearance. When the black mist finally revealed his outline in the deep blue sea water, I couldn't help but my nerves twitched suddenly, and a wave of The trembling felt from the inside out, his legs trembled, and he almost slid down the glass column and knelt down.
"Desaro! Don't look at it!" Rhine grabbed my arm, I grabbed it impatiently, and went straight to Shakaral: "Hey, doctor, I think I need an electronic cigarette , are you right?"
I pointed to the foot of the box in her chest pocket, Shakral smiled, pulled out a thin white cigarette and handed it to me.
I made a gesture of thanks, squatted down and observed the scene in the reservoir, bit the cigarette in my mouth, and took a deep breath. The smell of tobacco leaves flowed through my nasal cavity, which effectively relieved my uncomfortable mental state and calmed me down immediately.
I saw that Agares and Lilith are slowly approaching each other, this is a good start, I hope they can complete the mating smoothly. Lilith seems to be more enthusiastic than Agares, she swims around Agares lightly, as if she is dancing lightly, but the irritable Agares is unexpectedly calm, he is just quite arrogant She stretched out her arms, as if waiting for Lilith to throw herself into her arms, like an emperor with countless concubines.
This is completely different from the behavior of many beasts during mating. Whether it is on land or in water, it is common for several males to compete for females. It is common for males to compete for beauty just to win the favor of females, but now...
Agares, are you showing off deliberately, come on, buddy!
I clenched my fists silently sweating, and spit out a mouthful of water mist with the electronic cigarette in my hand. At the moment Lilith threw herself into Agares' arms, I even forgot to inhale the next breath of air.
Agares hugged Lilith, and lowered his head in front of her neck to smell her scent. I felt more and more inexplicably nervous, and my whole body was almost lying on the glass floor, but the next moment I saw an even more shocking scene——
"what!!!"
Shakaral screamed in shock after my voice, and I almost fell to the ground in fright. The cigarette fell to the ground, but my hand was so stiff that I couldn't move a single finger. I could only see a large piece of purple blood mist coming from it. Lilith's body spread out, engulfing fragmented flesh and stumps. Her long white hair floated, dragging a once beautiful rosebud-like head and exposed throat blood vessels, and slowly floated up. When we got out of the water, those beautiful emerald eyes looked at us in another world desperately, weeping.
And Agares, holding the headless fish body, savagely bit Lilith's flesh like a real tiger shark, his dark pupils gleamed with gluttonous hunger, his handsome face At this time, it looked hideous like a ghost in the thick fog of blood.
He is indeed a ferocious and terrifying beast, and I should not be fooled by his appearance!
"No, no! My God, Lilith!"
I punched the glass floor hard, feeling extremely horrified and heartbroken, my body reacted faster than my mind, I rushed down to the laboratory on the third floor, smashed the hatch frantically, and shouted: "Agale Si, Agares! Stop, that's your kind, your kind!!"
Agares seemed to have heard my shout, and the swallowing movement stopped abruptly, and he turned his head to look in my direction. The ferocity and brutality on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by another completely different look.
The thin lips that were shrouded in blood mist seemed to hook up, and he stared at me deeply, as if he was staring at his lover, licked all the remaining flesh and blood on his lips, let go of Lilith's body, He swam towards me quickly, as fast as an arrow leaving the string, and his slender and tall body enveloped me in a blink of an eye. Then I watched in amazement as he lowered his head and stuck out his tongue to lick the glass next to my face, like a horny nymphomaniac.
This action made me gasp, I couldn't help covering my mouth, I took a step back, and bumped into the person behind me. I turned my head immediately, and saw Shakaral looking at me with a very strange look, and Rhine behind her was ashen-faced.
