Xiuna walked out of the door and almost ran into his office. He didn't have time to think about other things. After entering the office, he immediately kicked the door, put his arms on the sink, and turned on the faucet of the sink at the door to the maximum. .

The sound of rushing water covered his retching, and the severe pain pulled his nerves, making his vision gradually blurred, and Xiuna couldn't even see his pale and sweaty face clearly in the mirror.

He took out a small bottle from the inner pocket of the lab coat, fumbled to unscrew it, poured out a capsule and stuffed it into his mouth tremblingly, bit the capsule, raised his head and swallowed the small particles inside with saliva .

Stomach acid returned to the mouth, mixed with the bitterness of the medicine, forming an indescribable irritation. Xiuna could only swallow with difficulty, and the Adam's apple was extremely difficult to roll on the neck.

The onset of pain was severe and without warning. At first, it seemed as if a giant hand suddenly appeared, twisting, knotting, and tearing the internal organs in his abdomen. When he resisted to enter the office, this feeling The severe pain seemed to flow down the middle of the body to the limbs.

After vomiting, Xiuna sat down slowly along the wall while pressing his stiff abdomen.At this moment, he didn't have the strength to throw himself on the soft and comfortable sofa a few steps away.All I can do is to try my best not to let the body roll on the floor by instinct, but to assume a twisted posture, so that the source of the pain is compressed by the abdominal wall to slightly reduce the feeling, and try to relax my stiff muscles. Don't let trembling teeth bite your tongue.

He tried his best to breathe as shallow and as short as possible, so that the cool air would not enter the abdomen as much as possible, and only come out after turning the trachea, using the least amount to supply the heart and lungs, but this made his heartbeat start to increase rapidly.

The terminal bracelet detected his body abnormality and started to activate the smart phone automatically. Xiuna exhausted his last bit of effort to turn off the smart button. He didn't want to hear Mr. Xiaoji's nagging at this moment, and he didn't want Xiaoji to inform anyone about it.

Yes, the world only knows that he was born with a bad heart, but they don't know that he also has stomach problems.This is a legacy of genetic modification.In fact, his heart couldn't bear the excessive changes in his body during the operation, so he suffered from tachycardia, which was not congenital.

After genetic surgery, the fish tail was transformed into a human leg, and the internal organs moved accordingly, causing special intestinal twists and extremely severe intestinal spasms... After the genetic modification, all senses became more acute, including vision and hearing. , Sense of smell... especially the pain, this is the price that must be paid.

In Xiuna's blurred vision, a woman wearing a black cloak gradually appeared, Luna c!He remembered her name, and he saw her face. At that time, this woman's face was blue and white, her eyeliner was black, but her lips were as bright red as if they were about to bleed.It was this woman who once told him a story about a little mermaid with her bright red lips.

The story of the ancient earth.The name is "Daughter of the Sea".The author is Andersen.

"This story everyone thinks is a fairy tale. But you know it's not. It's an oracle that no one understands. You know, no one in this universe understands genetic technology better than I do. This is our Almighty God— — the power bestowed on me by the Holy King."

Luna smiled, her long and sharp black nails caressing Shuna's silver-white fishtail: "I can turn your fishtail into legs, but that's like the story says, every step of yours will It will make you feel as if you are walking on a sharp knife, as if your blood is flowing out. If you can bear the pain, I can help you."

"Brother can do it. I can do it." The young Xiuna looked at Luna firmly.

"Cedric's situation is not quite the same as yours." Luna's laughter was a bit harsh: "He has a slightly different genetic arrangement from yours. I haven't researched the specific reasons. But I'm sure, you will be better than his." Suffering more severe pain and more severe sequelae. Even so, do you still want ordinary human legs?"

"Yes." The boy clenched his fists to give himself strength, he didn't tremble like the little mermaid princess in the story.He knew what he wanted, and he had to pay the price accordingly.

"What makes you willing to let you endure such great pain? My child. Have you fallen in love with an ordinary human like the mermaid princess? The oracle tells us that there is no good end for aliens to fall in love with ordinary humans .You can't get the real immortal soul of ordinary human beings. You can't get rid of the reincarnation of fate."

"No... no... not for this reason..."

Or rather, not quite...

The medicine started to take effect in the body, time passed little by little, the pain was relieved little by little, and the vision became clearer little by little, and Luna's red lips and too sharp laughter also disappeared little by little, replaced by the sound of rushing water.

Shuna didn't move, he leaned against the wall, closed his eyes panting, and tried his best to recall the scene just now.He is aware of the after-effects of his gene modification from a mermaid to an ordinary human being, but he basically has no memory of those scenes. Those details seem to be dried and shattered into tiny microorganisms invisible to the naked eye. It has been neglected in my mind, but what makes these details come alive again?Like that dream that morning.

He knew that his hometown was a rubble pile on the planet, and that all his clansmen were extinct, but he could only feel the pain in his heart and could not remember the environment of the rubble pile, the arrangement of his home, the appearance of his parents, and he could not remember the circumstances of the disaster. The situation and all the details seemed to be gone with the wind, and the dream that day was so real, it made him feel as if he had never forgotten it...

His heartbeat didn't stop that morning, but it was beating so fast that human hands couldn't count the pulse. At that time, he really felt that he was going to die. It was Owen's hug that made his heartbeat slow down slowly. Miraculously, he survived without taking medicine.It's really amazing that not even Shona can explain this unscientific situation.

Of course, he still took a tachycardia medicine in the bathroom later, which Owen didn't know about.

The sequelae have been getting worse recently.Twice in two weeks is a terrible frequency, enough to keep a soldier from going to the battlefield.But if I can recover a little memory every time the sequelae occur, then I would rather go through this kind of torture, as long as this kind of pain can wake me up, then everything is worth it.

It's just that after coming to the empire, the memory emerged from the pain.Previously in the league, the onset of sequelae didn't bring any extras.Of course, it didn't happen so frequently back then.Basically, without being stimulated, this body is still obedient.

Before coming to the league, he didn't have a clear memory. Is this also a sequela of genetic modification?Shuna didn't know.He also couldn't discuss it with his brother, and every time he tried to discuss it with Cedric, Cedric would smoke a cigar all day without saying a word.The eyes are like a lonely and injured wolf.

So he knew that it was also the pain that his brother couldn't touch in his heart.It was so painful that I couldn't even communicate with myself, the only person who knew.As for how much Cedric remembered, he had no way of knowing.In short, how the old days were lived, he had outlines in his head but no details, a skeleton but no flesh and blood.

This is why he firmly believes that he once loved someone.That person should have really existed... It's just that I forgot about him.

Xiuna stood up from the ground, rinsed his mouth with a handful of water in his hands, and looked into the bathroom mirror, which reflected a pale and tired young man, but the corner of his lips was unusually bright red.Just now he accidentally bit the corner of his mouth, Xiuna turned off the faucet, and licked the wound on his lip, the wound smelled faintly salty, just like the smell of the sea.

Xiuna slowly lay back on the sofa, curled up and wanted to rest for a while.At this moment, the voice doorbell of the office rang.

"Mr. Poseidon, are you there? Shall we go have dinner together?" The excited voice outside the door was Leon, a young lecturer from the Department of Star Mapping and Mapping.

Shuna lived in the school for two months, but because it was just in time for the holiday, teachers with families did not come every day. Most of the teachers Shuna had the opportunity to meet were teachers who lived in the single dormitory.However, Crown Prince Owen's domineering sense of territory and unavoidable threats made other single teachers avoid Shuna, and Shuna naturally would not take the initiative to associate with others.

Only this Leon, maybe because the new faculty member of this semester has no friends yet, maybe because he is a pure civilian without a military rank and no one wins him over, the most important thing is that he is relatively slow and can't feel the prince's hostility, so Leon often drags Xiuna Do everyday things together.Even if more than half of the cases would be rejected, this nervous young man didn't care.

Xiuna subconsciously clenched his fists, and breathed lightly and slowly—he didn't want to be seen in this embarrassment.

The footsteps outside the door gradually faded away. It seemed that Leon had waited for a while, thinking that Shuna was indeed not in the office before leaving.Just as Xiuna breathed a sigh of relief, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door again, and then the doorbell rang again: "Xina, open the door. It's me! I'm back!"

... This is Owen's voice.Xiuna was taken aback, and his nerves that had just been relaxed suddenly became tense.He didn't know what to do, he instinctively said nothing and held his breath.

"Shuna! I know you're inside. Don't hide in there, open the door!"

"..."

"Did something happen to you?" The voice became more and more anxious.

"..."

"If you don't open the door again, I'll break open the door and go in!"

Xiuna was startled, he had no doubt that Owen could really hit the door, and it wasn't just one or two people who would come to watch.He didn't care about anything else for a while, he stood up and turned the doorknob.

Owen was really in a hurry. He finished the experiment just now after thinking about it—without Xiuna being distracted, the simple experiment that he had seen twice could not help Owen. What His Royal Highness completed this time is really perfect .At least Owen felt that what he did was much better than that annoying Byron next to him just now.

He proudly takes the military history department, Claure.In the name of Gable, he sent a message to Xiuna asking the teacher to check and accept the experiment.Then hide it in the material preparation room inside the classroom, waiting for Xiuna to come to check and accept.

In his fantasy, Shuna should be very surprised at his progress, and then couldn't help admiring his talent in the empty classroom.And he smiled triumphantly in the dark, brushed off his clothes when it was done, and hid his achievements and fame deeply.

Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, there was no response and no one came.

His Royal Highness couldn't hold it anymore, and while removing Yi Rong, he sent a message to ask him about his eyeliner at Imperial* School, and learned that Xiuna rushed back to the office and then never came out. Something is wrong, my intuition is not good, so I hurried to find someone. "I hit the door! I really hit it!" Owen didn't hear the answer, gritted his teeth, and suddenly raised his shoulders to hit the door—but the door opened at this moment, and he couldn't help it for a while. Immediately stopped the attack, and slammed into the person who opened the door.

So, after the meeting at Taipingxing, Owen lay on Xiuna's body for the second time.
