Corporate slave? Pshaw, I'm the richest woman now!

The mermaid made no sound, quietly watching Tang Tang climb back to where she had just fallen.

He just stared at Tang Tang quietly. After Tang Tang climbed back into the ventilation duct, the mermaid flicked her tail and swam away a little.

He seemed to have heard the noise outside the door, and turned his head to look at the doorway, showing no intention of hiding.

Looking down from above, Tang Tang quickly recognized the group of people who had arrived.

These people were all wearing the black robes that the Holy Radiance Cult had worn before, covering their entire bodies so that their faces could not be seen.

They entered the laboratory, their eyes all falling on the huge pool of water before them. The leader exclaimed excitedly, "It's a mermaid! It really is a mermaid!"

"I never expected... that these people would actually produce a masterpiece."

"This is the best offering to the gods!"

"How are we going to take them away? Damn it, for some reason, there are suddenly a few mercenaries in the rainforest... They've disrupted our plans."

The leader stared fervently at the mermaid swimming in the water, his voice excited, "Use a tranquilizer gun! There's a movable staircase over this pool, climb up and tranquilize this mermaid!"

Tang Tang narrowed her eyes, her mind racing.

Why did she always feel that these men in black robes seemed to know this laboratory very well?

However, from the conversation among these men in black robes, it can be understood that the laboratory does not belong to them, but seems to belong to another force.

So... these are two factions, but they seem to be connected in some way, and the fact that these black-robed men repeatedly mentioned the offerings clearly indicates that they are related to the Holy Radiance Cult.

Under the command of the black-robed leader, they quickly located the movable mechanical staircase at the edge, and under his control, the staircase slowly descended from the top.

Tang Tang raised an eyebrow in surprise; she hadn't known such a thing existed.

She was just wondering how the mermaid got in and out of the pool that was so high.

Two men in black robes pulled out tranquilizer guns from behind their backs, carefully climbed the stairs, and stopped not far from the edge of the pool.

The mermaid seemed indifferent to them, simply swaying and swimming in the water like a beautiful fish.

He was perfect, a creature that combined beauty and violence, favored by the Creator from head to toe, yet subtly possessing a terrifying danger.

The two men in black robes raised their tranquilizer guns and aimed them at the swimming mermaid.

Tang Tang frowned slightly and clicked her tongue almost imperceptibly.

It wasn't that she felt particularly sorry for the mermaid, but rather that Tang Tang suspected that the tranquilizer gun wouldn't be enough to deal with it.

From the first moment she saw the mermaid, she could detect subtle malice in the mermaid's beautiful, expressionless face.

No, it's not quite clear whether it's malicious; it's more like an appetite, or a budding desire to attack.

Although he has an extremely beautiful appearance, he should not have any human thinking ability. He is like a beast with a human appearance, and his eerie inhumanity is extremely strong in comparison.

After witnessing the monsters roaming outside the laboratory... Tang Tang didn't think that the mermaids who could still stay peacefully in the water were anything simple.

……

However, it seems that the reality is not what Tang Tang expected.

The two men in black robes fired several tranquilizer darts at the mermaid. The mermaid, incredibly agile in the water, quickly dodged them and turned his head to stare at the men in black robes with a sinister look of anger.

After dodging several more tranquilizer shots, Tang Tang saw the mermaid's eyes narrow slightly, then it paused and was hit by a tranquilizer gun.

He swayed in the water for a moment, then seemed a little dizzy, and finally floated weakly on the surface.

Tang Tang clicked her tongue again, and then said, "I take back what I said about him not having the ability to think."

This fish seems to be fishing for law enforcement.

Tang Tang now had a God's-eye view, so she could see everything, while the group of men in black robes put away their tranquilizer guns.

"Hit! Good. To avoid running into those mercenaries, we need to move quickly!"

"This is an offering prepared for the gods..." The leader stared fanatically at the floating mermaid, then pointed to a man in black robes beside him and commanded, "Go! Go into the water and bring him here!"

"Yes, Bishop!"

Without saying a word, the man in black robes took off his robes, revealing what he looked like underneath.

He was wearing a simple black and white robe underneath, like a priest's robe, but simpler.

He quickly climbed to the edge of the pool and then swam into the water toward the floating mermaid.

He had naturally made some preparations, holding a gun in one hand and a knife in the other.

As he cautiously and slowly approached the mermaid, she remained motionless, floating on the surface of the water with her eyes closed, seemingly having truly fainted.

The man in black breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and grabbed the mermaid, but was startled by the cold, slippery touch in his hand. He then gritted his teeth, grabbed the mermaid's wrist, and dragged him to the edge of the pool as he swam.

The mermaid, which is nearly four or five meters tall, is much easier to move due to the buoyancy of the water.

The two swam, causing ripples on the water. The mermaid remained silent, seemingly having truly fainted.

Tang Tang frowned, staring suspiciously at the person and fish about to reach the pool, and said, "Is she really just a pretty vase? No, wait..."

Upon reaching the pool, seeing that the mermaid still had no reaction, the group of men in black robes relaxed somewhat.

It was difficult for one person to pull the mermaid out of the water, so he went back down. Three people in black robes were in the water, while the leader stood on the stairs beside the pool and reached out to grab the mermaid.

Tang Tang was lost in thought when suddenly, a sharp scream rang out, and she abruptly looked down.

There was no one by the pool, and the mermaid and everyone else had vanished without a trace.

The water was murky, with waves constantly rising and falling. One or two men in black robes struggled to break the surface, desperately raising their heads and struggling.

Behind them, the mermaid, with her long, wet black hair, revealed her eerie and beautiful face.

He grinned at the man in black robes, then stretched out his sharp hands and suddenly grabbed one of the gangsters' faces.

Sharp fingers pierced directly into the black-robed man's eyes, blood spurting out. The mermaid held down the two black-robed men with one hand each, her arm muscles clenching, easily pressing them into the water.

The mermaid possessed limitless power in the water. He pulled two men in black robes into the water, and the surface of the water turned red as it rippled.

The two men in black robes spat out gurgling bubbles as they were finally forced to swallow countless streams of water, suffocating and floating in the water with terrified expressions.

Another Black Slope man, who had swum to the other side of the pool and was frightened as he climbed out, was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he suddenly heard a rapid swimming sound behind him.

With only one leg still in the water, he was so frightened that he quickly pulled his leg back and tried to climb out. But the water behind him gradually receded, and the mermaid's upper body suddenly sprang out, its powerful, long arms grabbing the black-clad man's leg and dragging him back into the water.

The mermaid's pale face remained expressionless as he stared at the struggling man in black robes, knocking away the knife the man was desperately trying to stab him with.

He became enraged, then grabbed the black-robed man by the neck, and with both hands, forcefully tore the struggling man open from his chest.

Countless drops of blood spurted out, staining the originally clear, deep blue pool water red.

The mermaid, clutching the mangled corpse of the black-robed man, slowly tilted her head back, her sharp and beautiful face staring expressionlessly at the ventilation duct where Tang Tang was sitting.
