What happened
The guard took off the shackles for Jiang Mian with an almost attentive look. He looked down and saw that his thin wrists and ankles were covered with four circles of worn and torn dents. His skin was originally fair, so the wounds looked very shocking.
Maybe Fabian has developed a new type of elixir of immortality, so his value is no longer so important
No, it's impossible. In any case, Fabian hates non-human intelligent life, especially those who are willing to admit it, such as himself. Moreover, how could the top leaders of Sigma Research Institute give up a bargaining chip that can threaten deep-sea mermaids
Even if Jiang Mian racked his brains, he couldn't figure out why he was suddenly released.
Following several guards, he walked through the empty corridor. It was quiet all around, and Jiang Mian gradually smelled a hazy, salty smell of water, which was vaguely shrouding his nose, making him feel damp for no reason.
He looked around cautiously, his slippers lightly touching the soft carpet. The dim light at the end of the corridor blurred people's vision. For some reason, he suddenly felt that they were walking in the throat of some giant beast.
This feeling made him feel cold and uncomfortable.
Going up and down the elevator, using the permission card, unlocking the iris DNA code, opening the metal door... The familiar scene came into view, and Jiang Mian had to pinch his hand hard to prove that he was not dreaming.
The experimental station was reopened, and noisy voices filled the air. Standing below, Jiang Mian could see researchers hurrying back and forth busily behind the windows. The hall was empty, with no patrolling guards. The mermaid's observation room was clean and aqua, with rippling blue light illuminating the vast space. Rapos was eagerly clinging to the foggy glass wall, waving at him vigorously.
Time seemed to flow backwards, and everything returned to the time before the mermaid went berserk, before she showed her superhuman abilities, before she controlled the infrasound and started killing people...
There were too many unreasonable logics and bugs, and Jiang Mian's brain crashed instantly. He had no time to be happy, but stood there blankly, staring at Lapers, until the guard asked him to go up in a nice voice. Then Jiang Mian followed them up to the experimental station like a sleepwalker.
As soon as he entered the room, all the researchers who participated in the mermaid project—almost all the senior executives of the institute—all stopped their work in unison, raised their heads in unison, and looked at Jiang Mian with a smile. Dozens of faces were as pale as masks, and the corners of their mouths were raised in an arc that was as standard as if printed.
Jiang Mian couldn't help but take a step back, his scalp slightly tingling.
… The salty, fishy smell in the air got stronger.
"Mr. Jiang!" The gray-haired Dr. Brown stepped out of the crowd and walked up to Jiang Mian. He raised his hand so quickly that it seemed as if he was going to slap Jiang Mian unexpectedly, but when he brought his hand down, he was very cautious and just patted Jiang Mian's shoulder lightly.
Or maybe that couldn't be called a pat, it was just a rubbing with a force that Jiang Mian could hardly feel.
Jiang Mian's eyes widened, he was "rubbed" so hard that he couldn't speak, and he could only retreat. What was going on? Why did their behavior become so strange, just like a group of robots that had just been restored to factory settings
