Mermaid Effect

Vincent opened his eyes in the white instrument.

The machine made a flat and regular sound of "beep" in his ear, a burst of white light danced in his field of vision, he frowned, and after a few seconds, Caroline looked over He, then turned off the light at the top—the light was extremely weak for normal people.

"Did I scare him?"

Vincent remained in a lying position without moving, and then asked.

His voice was very hoarse and difficult to distinguish, but Caroline still understood it immediately...

And I'd rather I not hear at all.

A voice whispered in her heart.

Of course, the real-life Caroline just smiled softly at him.

"You should be more worried about yourself." She said to Vincent, "Your organs are failing, and if we don't find 'Prince' quickly and give you a transplant, you will be in serious danger..."

"Rand should be terrified by me this time," Vincent said with a deadpan eyeballs so motionless that he looked at the decorative walnut grain on the ceiling, "I screwed up again. Maybe I didn't You should meet him."

Caroline didn't speak, she was sitting next to Vincent, with a document marked "Top Secret" in red in one hand, while the other hand was hidden under the bed, pinching her own thigh deeply .

Vincent was still talking to himself.

"...I dreamed about my mother."

He said.

"Snapped--"

The document in Caroline's hand fell to the ground, and she looked at Vincent in shock, as if the white body had turned into some kind of ghost at that moment.

No, to be correct, just leaking those two syllables from Vincent's mouth is already a ghost in this world to Caroline.

She stood there, and it took her a while to react, and then she tried her best to maintain a surface of calm, bent down and picked up the document from the ground.

"You were just having a nightmare."

She said to Vincent dryly, trying to change the subject.

"Vincent, I think you really need to focus on finding the 'Prince'. Your body won't last long, but now is not the time for you to close your eyes and die peacefully! Lab accident at the North Pole You still need to do follow-up processing, the Pentagon has been inquiring about the 'Siren Project', and the shareholders of Shenbai, you know, they also hope to get you down in their dreams..."

"The pain I suffered was the punishment I deserved."

Vincent said in a low voice among the instruments.

Caroline's eyeballs trembled, she stretched out her hand unbearably, and held Vincent's fingers.

"Vincent, look at me... your disease is caused by a faulty mitochondrial failure, a genetic defect caused by your bloody customs! It's about your past, it's about Rand, it's about Sievers Ma'am—it has nothing to do with it!" Her eyeballs were a little hot, and some crystal clear tears floated in her eyes, "We were just children at that time, no one would want that to happen, it was just a... It's just a tragedy. Mrs. Sievers did those things because of a depression attack. If she had even a shred of normal reason at the time, she would never blame you for Rand's kidnapping. Vincent , How long are you going to suffer because of this thing? You know, you are not only punishing yourself, you are...you are punishing me. "

She finished these words in pain, and then looked at Vincent with a pale face.

Vincent withdrew his fingers from Caroline's wet and cold palm.

A secret and cruel smile appeared on the corner of Vincent's mouth, and he finally turned his head to look at Caroline.

"You're right," he said to Caroline. "And this punishment will continue until the day you and I both die."

Caroline stood up suddenly, and the chair fell to the ground under her movement, knocking on the thick and soft carpet.

without any words...

Her face was bloodless, and she breathed heavily like a fish short of water, the sound of choking leaked out weakly, and tears burst out of her eyes uncontrollably.

"She never liked me..." Her voice was unbelievably weak. If anyone who has seen Caroline in the company sees her now, she will be shocked by how fragile and desperate she is now , "Do you remember how she treated us, Vincent? Just because I'm a Jew... Your mother can even tolerate what you did to Rand, but she can't let me be with you! Is this my fault? Yes, I was the one who proposed to remove the security system from the internal control panel, but you were the one who stole the password! You swear you are going to escape that deformed family, you swear you Don't want to be defeated by that disgusting family habit, you swear, stay with me. If your mother hadn't tried to imprison you in that way, none of it would have happened, no one would have thought that madman would come that day, no Man! It was just an accident, an accident..."

At the end of the discourse, Caroline's wailing shatters all words and words.

If there was no accident 16 years ago, maybe now she and Vincent are still enjoying the love that normal people should have.

In fact, however, this is just wishful thinking.

According to the FBI's investigation file, the woman who kidnapped Rand was a real criminal with a high IQ. She entered the house so easily that even the door lock was not broken. The founder of Deep White Biotechnology The security system customized by the couple can be said to be the best in the world at that time-no matter how you look at it.

In the countless days that followed, Vincent fantasized that he had never done that thing.

He hadn't hacked into his mother's phone, hadn't stolen the password, hadn't disarmed the security system.

At that time, he had just realized that something was extremely abnormal and perverted, and he was so terrified, and Caroline walked into his life like sunshine.She is like a coordinate, or in other words, a lighthouse. For Vincent, she represents another completely different life, which belongs to the life of normal people.He fell in love with this girl of Jewish descent without any hesitation...

And Mrs. Sievers was going crazy over it.

On the one hand, she absorbs the world's most cutting-edge and advanced science and technology, and on the other hand, she is incredibly conservative and closed—the two contradictory characteristics are so obvious in Mrs. Sievers. In this unusually old family, you There may be many privileges to ignore taboos, but there are some lines that you must never cross.

For example, falling in love with a woman of dirty blood.

She took control of Vincent's life to the extreme extent she could.In this kind of crazy confinement, Vincent began to plan to escape together—or, to put it more romantically, elope.

He chose a good day, and both father and mother had to stay in the company because of something in the laboratory.With the help of some small tricks, Vincent modified the instructions of Rand's personal escort, making her mistakenly think that she didn't need to go to work that day.

Then, he completely disarmed the security system of the entire house, and then sneaked to Caroline's house, where he stored money and Caroline was responsible for collecting everything needed for this "escape".They spent some time packing, and in the process... Rand, Rand, who was only a child at the time, was completely exposed without any protection or companionship.

Vincent calculated well.There won't be any problems, he thought, this is the most exclusive wealthy area in the entire area, and it's daytime, the most important thing is that no one will know that he has actually disarmed the security system...

However, Rand was taken away in this way.

Vincent once thought that family was so deformed and sick, but when he completely lost it, he realized that he had always been a member of that family.

That family is the soil of his existence, even if he once thought it was sick and twisted.

Oh, yes, he couldn't deny that the most secret things in that family were indeed sick and twisted, but like flowers blooming on the most filthy soil, the only way he could get out of that disgusting Live by drawing nourishment from things.

Just like his grandparents have always done.

Although, his stupidity ruined everything.

The miserable cry of the former lover never left any trace on his stone-hard heart.

Vincent slowly closed his eyes amidst Caroline's crying.

After all, Caroline was right about one thing, he couldn't just die like this now.

He also needs to protect Rand, which is his lost treasure, his ermenos, his soil...he will always protect him.

forever.
