He and It

Chapter 6: The King of Fruit Cores (VI)

Ted took the risk and passed on this real-time intelligence to him, and there was a bright orange mark behind the dialog box.

This is one of the unspoken rules for private communication within the institute. Although the orange mark is not as critical as the red one, it still means that it is a serious message.

Jiang Mian stared at the dialog box, his hair disheveled and his eyes hazy, wondering if he had not woken up yet and was still dreaming.

…How come

How could Lappers still be able to move? Was he not seriously injured by the electric shock? Did the Germans show mercy

No... this is impossible, so the device is malfunctioning

Jiang Mian did not doubt the authenticity of the news, because Ted would not make up such an outrageous lie to deceive him. Therefore, this realization made his thoughts even more confused.

He remembered very clearly that Rapos was not like this yesterday. The mermaid was very curious about humans, and even though they couldn't speak the same language, he could still ask and answer questions with him seriously. Except for the moment when he lost control at the end, Rapos's mood had been very stable, and he even seemed a little leisurely.

How could that be

Jiang Mian asked himself again. He would not be so self-indulgent as to think that Lapers was actually treating him differently. But what went wrong that led to such a different result

It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid. Jiang Mian had mixed feelings, and a feeling of sorrow rose in his chest for the new breeder. He knew that the man died for Fabian. The revenge of mermaids always came fiercely, leaving no room for mercy.

What to do next

If possible, Jiang Mian would rather Lapers not kill anyone. He knew how many resources and methods Sigma Research Institute had, and he had also seen how far his peers could go in terms of creativity in torture and torment. Lapers' strong physique allowed him to survive the first day of electric shock, but this did not make Jiang Mian feel relieved, but made him more worried.

Strong, tenacious, and unyielding - according to the knowledge and common sense that Jiang Mian has accumulated since childhood, these qualities are good things to boast about in the outside world, or the normal world; but here, between the cold laboratories, restraint platforms, precision instruments and real data, they only mean one thing.

—The experimental subject can withstand harsher treatment, has a higher utilization rate, and is a more durable consumable.

The worst case scenario may be happening: Lapers has attracted the attention of a group of researchers led by Fabian. The beast has deadly claws and teeth in nature, but what if it is imprisoned in a cage, surrounded by humans holding torches and tools

Jiang Mian was so nervous that he couldn't think too much.

Things were starting to get interesting, and Rapos watched with indifference.

A large amount of some kind of strong acidic poison poured into his cell, turning the clear water into a strong, pungent yellow-green. Rapos watched them dancing, jumping, and spreading in the water until they were everywhere around him.

He raised his arms and gently swung his fish tail, letting these unpleasant-colored little things linger around his body, neither fearing nor dodging.

So, this is a new round of punishment as a reward for his hunting down and killing the strange land people
