Quick Wear: Don't come over here, you are looking for trouble

Zhang Tai received a phone call.

The call came late at night, and he hung up once. But the person kept calling again, so Zhang Tai finally picked up the phone.

"Zhang Tai."

The voice coming from the other side was actually Pei Xun's voice.

Zhang Tai jumped up from the bed immediately. He did not go home, nor did he continue to stay in the research institute. He just found a hotel nearby to stay in.

He couldn't explain why he did this, but it was as if there was a voice in his head reminding him - don't go, don't go, wait a moment.

"Do me a favor."

I don’t know if it’s because it was transmitted through the radio waves, but Zhang Tai always feels that Pei Xun’s voice is different from before.

"……what?"

"I know you want to save the mermaid." There was a pause, "Tomorrow at 12 o'clock, I don't care what method you use, take him out."

Zhang Tai couldn't believe his ears. He thought it was another test, so he remained silent.

"This is the chance I give you. It's up to you whether you want to seize it or not."

Still in a daze after hanging up the phone, Zhang Tai almost got out of bed with his hands and feet together, pushed open the window, his heart was beating so fast, and the wind blowing in could slightly ease these complicated emotions.

No matter what.

Zhang Tai leaned his head out a little. He had to go after all. He couldn't just watch the mermaid die.

Xu Bai: [The second target hasn't appeared yet? ]

Liu Er: [I didn’t receive a notification, which means it hasn’t appeared yet. ]

Xu Bai sighed, buried his head in the water, blew out a bunch of bubbles, and popped them one by one with his fingers. [Is there any other information? ]

Liu Er: [Besides the strategy target, what else do you want to know? ]

Forget it, Xu Bai tangled his fingers with his hair.

Liu Er sensed his intention to give up and gave him a slight warning, "Tomorrow, Zhang Tai will come to save you. Will you go with him?"

The plot was revealed, and Xu Bai gave a triumphant smile.

According to the merman, he will definitely not leave Pei Xun.

As expected, Zhang Tai arrived on time. Not only did he come, he also called a car and carried a blanket on his back.

He couldn't think of a particularly comprehensive plan, so he could only choose the simplest way.

Zhang Tai was familiar with the location where the mermaid was. The car was parked outside and Zhang Tai came in alone. To be honest, his legs were shaking.

Unexpectedly, Pei Xun was standing at the door. Zhang Tai was stunned when he saw him and said politely, "...Professor Pei."

Pei Xun nodded, with no expression on his face, and turned to walk towards the pool.

When he saw the mermaid again this time, Zhang Tai could clearly feel that his complexion was worse. Now his white skin seemed a little gray, and his hair and tail were not as bright and attractive as before.

Xu Bai raised his face above the water. When he saw Pei Xun, he trembled subconsciously. Even though he was willing to believe it in his heart, the stinging pain on his tail kept reminding him of what his savior had done.

"Be good."

Pei Xu, who occupied Xu Bai's body, smiled at him. His smile was completely different from Pei Xu's. Under the hazy moonlight, his eyes were full of affection, which was too gentle and sincere.

"Come here." Pei Xu squatted down and opened his arms. His voice was deliberately lowered, very attractive, "Come to me."

Xu Bai couldn't refuse.

He gently wagged his tail, slowly moved closer, and was finally held in Pei Xu's arms.

Pei Xu stroked his hair and said, "Be good, follow him and go back to the sea. Don't get caught by humans again."

The mermaid looked at him in confusion. It’s not that he didn’t understand, he just felt it was strange.

A few days ago... a few days ago he said he would not leave, and he didn’t want to leave his savior at all.

Even though, even though his savior sometimes makes him feel scared.

But the little mermaid is the most loyal. If she likes someone, she likes him or her no matter what.

"I like you." Xu Bai looked at Pei Xu, "I won't leave."

Pei Xu could feel that Pei Xun was gradually waking up, as if... as if the mermaid's words made him realize something was wrong and he wanted to control his body.

“Be good.” Pei Xu picked up the merman and handed it to Zhang Tai, telling him, “Hold it tight!”

"..."Xu Bai looked at Pei Xu, as if asking why he didn't want him anymore.

"You can't stay with him." Pei Xu's fingertips lingered across Xu Bai's face, "Call my name once, okay?"

"Pei..." Xu Bai stammered, and for a long time only a vague sound came out. The word rolled in his throat several times, "Pei... Xun..."

"wrong."

Pei Xu could feel Pei Xun waking up more and more clearly, "Pei Xu! I am Pei Xu!"

"..." Pei...

Xu Bai stared, his tears falling from his eyelashes, big drops that turned into pearls in an instant.

That’s right, it’s not Pei Xun, but——

[Pei Xun's Favorability: 70]

"Pei..."

"Take him away!" Pei Xu stopped, his lips trembling, "We must get him back to the sea!"

"Pei, Xu..."

"Pei Xu..."

“Pei Xu!!”

The mermaid began to struggle desperately, digging into Zhang Tai's arms with her slender fingers, and her thin back was trembling so much that Zhang Tai could hardly hold on.

He gritted his teeth and struggled to support himself to run. He kept running outside, pulling the blanket covering his fish tail. He did not stop even with the smell of blood in his mouth.

"Come back!" Pei Xun was more in tune with this body. He originally thought he was reading in the bedroom, but when he woke up he found himself standing next to the pool.

And the mermaid was handed into Zhang Tai's arms by himself!

No! Never allowed!

Pei Xun reached out to press the alarm, but found that the power supply to the button and even the backup power supply had been cut off.

He was an absolute materialist and had never thought that there was a monster living in his body. Even now, he could still clearly feel that the monster was fighting with him for control of his body.

He shouted back and wanted to call for help, but he was pushed to the corner of his consciousness and watched the monster controlling his body to walk back step by step.

The soul-tearing pain and anxiety acted on Pei Xun and Pei Xu's consciousness at the same time. Veins popped out on the forehead of this body, and cold sweat slid down the cheeks.

Pei Xu was stopping him.

Even at the risk of being devoured by the main personality.

He also wants to stop it.

Zhang Tai had already reached the front of the car. He opened the door, hugged Xu Bai, and wrapped his tail tightly, "Let's go!"

He couldn't say anything except this one word, and could only breathe heavily.

The driver looked at the two of them. One was sobbing violently, and the other was gasping for breath as if he was about to die. It was obvious that they were not normal.

"You guys..." The car still drove out, but the destination was the seaside. The middle-aged driver was already hesitant, and now he was even more nervous, "What's wrong with you guys?"

Zhang Tai was just gasping for breath. It took him a long time to swallow his saliva to moisten his extremely dry throat. He spoke with difficulty, "I'll increase the price for you. Drive quickly."

The driver looked at them through the rearview mirror again and became more and more frightened.

So he agreed verbally and pressed the alarm button directly.

Fortunately, it was not too far from the beach and there were few cars on the road, so the driver had no reason to delay and could only keep asking for reasons and giving advice.

"Young people should not act on impulse. Even if you have a quarrel, you should talk it out nicely."

"What are you doing going to the beach so late at night? It's pitch black over there and you can't be calm. So, I'm going to ask for a big favor. I don't want any money from you on this trip. Where are you staying? I'll take you back for free!"

Zhang Tai had no heart to listen to the driver's rambling. The mermaid in his arms was crying the whole time. He held a handful of pearls and had to be careful not to let them fall into the car. He also had to watch out to see if Pei Xun would catch up with him. His heart was beating so fast that his whole body felt numb.

"Just, ahem, take us there." Zhang Tai's voice was hoarse, and he pressed Xu Bai's face into his arms, "I have something urgent to do."
