Consciously holding his breath, he saw the mermaid lying weakly on the edge of the water tank, while his lower/half body was still submerged in the water.
Pei Qing rushed over in a panic, only to find that the whole tank of water was full of thick scarlet, sticky as if it had frozen.
Pei Qing stretched out his hand tremblingly, and lifted the other person's face.
The mermaid's eyes were closed tightly, she had not breathed for a long time, and there was no sign of life.
Pei Qing cried silently, and the tears began to flow down unconsciously, dripping into the stagnant blood, making a slight "didi" sound.
Pei Qing hugged the mermaid's shoulders tightly, trying to drag him out of the thick blood, but found the dark blue fish tail...
Missed.
was cut off in its entirety.
—
Waking up suddenly from the nightmare, Pei Qing, who was drenched in cold sweat, seemed to still be able to smell that cruel smell. He felt his chest was blocked by that pungent fishy smell, and the pain made him want to vomit a mouthful of blood.
Pei Qing stood up and rushed out like crazy.
The side effects of the sedative hadn't completely passed away, his head hurt very much, and his feet were a little unsteady.
However, none of this matters anymore.
All he wanted now was to see him right away.
The author has something to say:
①#欢迎小剧场之广岛survival#
The mermaid took out the shell.
Pei Qing was very happy, "There are pearls!"
The mermaid took out the coral.
Pei Qing was still very happy, "It's best for watching, but it's a bit big."
The mermaid grabs a live fish.
Pei Qing smiled, "It just happens to be baked and eaten!"
The mermaid caught another snake.
Pei Qing hesitated, "This..."
The mermaid climbed ashore by herself.
Pei Qing: "..."
☆、47·Bait ([-])
In the airtight constant temperature water tank, the mermaid floated lifelessly in it. He must have struggled desperately from being caught to being locked in here. Several dark blue scales on the tail of the fish have fallen off, and there are no scales. Pale pink flesh was exposed, with bright red blood streaks.
The water in the tank was originally colorless and transparent, but the blood oozing from the mermaid's wounds dyed them a faint red.
Pei Qing rushed up and grabbed a doctor by the collar, "What did you do to him? Why did he become like this?"
The doctor was taken aback and couldn't speak fluently, "I...we didn't do anything...it was him..."
Pei Qing didn't want to hear his ramblings, so he shouted, "Open the water tank for me!"
The doctor cried and said wronged: "Captain, you can't let him out..."
"I'll repeat it again!" Pei Qing's expression became a little scary, and he paused every word, "Open, water, tank!"
The doctor was about to cry, "This... can't be done! Captain Pei, now Captain Xie Ming is leading this research, his fingerprint is needed to open the water tank, don't embarrass me..."
Pei Qing sneered, pushed the doctor aside, picked up a chair, and threw it at the water tank. If he didn't break it once, he smashed it a second time, and a third time...
The doctor hurried over and took Pei Qing's hand, "Captain, don't do this, you can't release the mermaid!"
With a heavy wave of Pei Qing's hand, the doctor was pushed to the ground by him, and then he continued to smash the chair desperately, but the water tank trapping the mermaid must not be made of ordinary materials, Pei Qing exerted force suddenly, and the chair fell apart with a crash. But the water tank did not produce a single crack.
The mermaid trapped inside stared at Pei Qing motionlessly.
There was still no expression on his face, and there was no trace of emotion in his eyes.
Pei Qing suddenly felt extremely heartbroken.
He was silent for a moment, and directly took out the bullet gun on his side. The doctor was terrified when he saw his posture, and he got up from the ground and hugged Pei Qing's arm firmly, "Captain, don't be impulsive. Ah, this is against military regulations!"
Pei Qing didn't even look at him, his eyes stayed on the mermaid.He suppressed his throat, as if he was afraid that the other party would be frightened, and softly spit out the following words: "Trust me again, okay?"
The mermaid's eyeballs moved slightly, staring at Pei Qing.After a while, he turned his body over in the small tank, and his beautiful fish tail stuck to the wall of the tank.
"Don't do this! Captain, calm down! The alarm will sound!"
The doctor tightly hugged Pei Qing's arm, but was pushed away even harder.Then Pei Qing fired without hesitation, and fired several times until there were no more bullets in the chamber.
The wall of the water tank was penetrated by bullets, and cracks spread rapidly like spider webs. Soon, with a loud "pop", the entire wall of the water tank was completely shattered. sounded.
The mermaid landed on the wet ground full of debris, the fish tail slapped vigorously on the ground, the debris on the ground was splashed by him, and several pieces were even inserted/inserted into the fish tail, blood seeped out , mixed with the water flow, soon dyed the area under the mermaid's body red.
Pei Qing anxiously wanted to check his injuries, but the mermaid didn't seem to accept Pei Qing's approach. He let out a threatening growl and showed his sharp teeth.
"Don't be there, you'll hurt yourself, shall we change places?"
Pei Qing stretched out his hand, but just as he touched the mermaid's shoulder, the other party bit down on it.
Pei Qing took a deep breath, and at the same time that the severe pain in his arm was transmitted to his brain, his heart unexpectedly collapsed like a landslide, feeling relieved.
As if a heavy psychological burden had been lifted, Pei Qing even hoped that the pain could be more intense.
So, Pei Qing simply let the mermaid bite his left hand, endured the pain and pulled his other arm with his right hand, this time the mermaid bit even harder, Pei Qing even heard a crackling sound, probably because the bone was broken He crushed it.
Fortunately, this iron body can bear it, otherwise most people would probably go into shock from the pain.
Pei Qing gritted his teeth, and dragged the violent and fierce mermaid to the clean side. There was no debris on the ground, so no matter how much he tossed about, he would not be injured.
Pei Qing's little arm was bitten wide open by the mermaid, blood spurted out, probably because the smell of blood was too strong, the mermaid finally let go of its mouth slowly, and was not as irritable as before.
Pei Qing's face quickly turned pale, and the massive blood loss made him feel weak.
The door was kicked open suddenly, and Yan Zhe rushed in with a group of soldiers with guns. When he saw that it was Pei Qing, Yan Zhe's face turned livid, but he still put away his guns, and the others put away their guns one after another. When they got up, everyone showed extremely surprised expressions.
Xie Ming was following behind. Seeing the mess in the room, he dragged Pei Qing up from the ground and asked, "How dare you do that?!"
Yan Zhe stopped him, and reprimanded him majestically: "Xie Ming, it's not your turn to do it yet, right?"
Xie Ming responded in a low voice, and then slowly let go of his hand.
When Tang Di saw such a chaotic scene as soon as he entered the door, he panicked for a moment, but soon he calmed down, walked over quickly, and used the hemostatic bandage he carried with him to wrap around Pei Qing's wound tightly. .
Yan Zhe suppressed the rising anger, and asked Pei Qing patiently, "You did this?"
Pei Qing said blankly, "Give me this project."
He said "give" directly and forcefully, not even bothering to ask.
Xie Ming pointed at Pei Qing and shouted: "You have deliberately let the mermaid escape several times before, do you think we don't know about those things? The project has been delayed again and again because of you, you dare to say that you will do it without selfishness Research?"
Xie Ming's questioning was not unreasonable, and Pei Qing must also be aware of his own selfishness, but he just couldn't bear it, and when he thought of the mermaid falling into the hands of others, he became very angry.
Yan Zhe pressed the center of his eyebrows, he felt that ever since Pei Qing fell into the sea and was rescued, he had become unreasonable, stubborn and arrogant, "Pei Qing, stop joking, with your current mentality It is no longer possible to continue participating in research."
Pei Qing looked cold, and pursed his lips tightly, "No one knows him better than me, why can't I participate in the research?"
Xie Ming laughed mockingly, "You obviously had many opportunities to approach him, but you let him go every time. I think you have other thoughts about the mermaid!"
Pei Qing glanced in Yan Zhe's direction, but the other party still had a sullen and suspicious look on his face. Obviously, he would not stand by his side unconditionally, so he had to be patient.
Pei Qing managed to slow down his tone, "General Yan, you trust me, no one can get close to the mermaid except me, so leave him to me."
"Captain Pei is right about this," the military doctor who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "Mermaids are very ferocious underwater creatures, and they are very sensitive to smells, so they won't let strangers approach them easily, so , I also suggest that Captain Pei be in charge of this project."
Yan Zhe became even more skeptical, "Even Doctor Tang helped Pei Qing speak?"
Tang Di's face froze, and Pei Qing rushed to the conversation before him, "If you don't believe General Yan, you can find someone to try it out."
Hearing this explanation, Xie Ming laughed disdainfully, "Isn't it the method of provoking generals? Okay, then I'll try it."
He pushed Pei Qing aside, then squatted down, tentatively reaching out to the mermaid.
The mermaid's attack power will be greatly weakened on land, and he experienced the struggle when he was trapped, and then he was suffocated in the water tank. The mermaid's physical condition is not very optimistic.
But the moment Xie Ming stretched out his hand, the mermaid seized the perfect opportunity to attack, and rushed over with incredible speed, biting straight at the throat!
Pei Qing exhausted all his strength to hug the frenzied mermaid, suppressing his actions.Otherwise, in a few seconds, Xie Ming's throat would be completely bitten off by him.
Everyone except Pei Qing was deeply shocked by the scene in front of them. The speed of the mermaid's hunting was so fast that before he had time to see it clearly, he threw himself in front of Xie Ming.
Pei Qing turned his gaze to Yan Zhe, "General Yan, have you seen it now?"
Xie Ming, who narrowly escaped from the hands of the god of death, quickly stood up from the ground. The horror just now left him with lingering fears. He slightly suppressed the look of contempt on his face, and a little doubt arose in his heart.Because he had monitored Pei Qing's every move before this, he had seen several scenes of the mermaid getting along with Pei Qing.
That scene made him think that the mermaid was a docile species similar to dolphins, but now, he had to re-examine this conclusion.
The mermaid was held in Pei Qing's arms, and unexpectedly became quiet. Pei Qing raised his head and looked at the crowd, "No one can get close to him except me, so you can't do without me."
Yan Zhe would not have completely believed Pei Qing's words so simply, but the hesitation in his eyes at least showed that he had wavered in the idea of resolutely isolating Pei Qing.
Pei Qing continued: "I put everything here, but now you want to separate me instead?"
After a long silence, Yan Zhe sighed heavily, "Okay..."
Pei Qing pulled out a faint smile, "Then thank you, General Yan."
"But the ugly words are up front. If there is no result within half a month, you will sell immediately."
Pei Qing gave a military salute, "Obey."
Yan Zhe saw blood oozing from the hemostatic bandage on Pei Qing's arm again, and said to Tang Di, "Help Captain Pei down quickly."
Before leaving, Pei Qing told the others: "Send the mermaid to open water, don't seal it in a water tank."
The military department has already surrounded a small piece of sea area with a net made of special material, forming a natural cage, and the mermaid cannot escape.But at least it's better than staying in a closed tank, which is an insult to the sacred species of mermaid.
Pei Qing followed Tang Di to the senior infirmary, but was stopped by Xie Ming. Pei Qing gave him a cold look, "Get out."
"I have to remind the majestic Captain," Xie Ming said sarcastically, "Don't be so stupid as to have feelings for the prey, no matter how human he is, he is still a beast, too close a distance will make you feel It's fate."
Pei Qing replied without changing his face, "Take care of yourself" and took Tang Di away.
—
After arriving at the central infirmary, after confirming that there was no one around, Pei Qing smiled and said, "Master military doctor, thank you for speaking for me just now."
Tang Di shook his head in shock, "If you do this again in the future, please notify me in advance, so that I can be mentally prepared."
When checking the wound, the military doctor showed a solemn expression, "Are you in great pain now?"
Pei Qing slumped on the chair weakly, "What do you think?"
It was too urgent just now, Pei Qing didn't pay attention to himself, let alone how painful his wound was.Only now did he fully react, the severe pain hit him, and even his vision was slightly blurred.
"Captain, lie down and go to the operating room. I'll call some assistants over. I'm afraid your wound will need a knife."
—
After anesthesia in the afternoon, the knife was used, and Pei Qing woke up at night. The pain in his left hand was still so painful, but the pain had been relieved a lot. The forearm was only wrapped with a thick bandage, and there was no splint or plaster in the way. s things.
Pei Qing once again lamented the tolerance of this body.
He put on his shoes and stood up. Tang Di came in with food and asked, "Do you want some?"
Pei Qing shook his head, "I'm going to see him."
"Guess you'll say that, but it's useless if you go."
Pei Qing frowned, "Why? What happened to him?"
"The mermaid seems to be hiding in a blind spot that the submarine monitor cannot detect, and nothing can be seen on the screen except sea water."
Pei Qing asked again: "Then shall we go to the submarine passage to see?"
"You can't even see it on the monitor, so go to the submarine channel to see him like visiting an aquarium?" Tang Di shrugged, "That's even more impossible."
Pei Qing lowered his head and remained silent for a while, "How will you know if you don't try?"
Then he walked out without saying a word.
☆、48·Bait (eight)
The sea area near the shore has been controlled by the military, and the net of special material has enclosed this area as a human domain.The submarine passage goes from the sea surface to the deep seabed, and is several kilometers long. In the 21st century, this may be the most exquisite ocean viewing passage.
However, people in this world are not in the mood to visit the seabed, because those seabed creatures have already mutated, most of them are weird and ugly, and they will not easily appear in the field of vision of human beings.
When Pei Qing and Tang Di walked down, the only sound of their footsteps echoed in the long passage.
The deeper you go, the darker the light. Tang Di felt that the atmosphere was a bit mysterious, which made his hair stand on end. "Captain, the mermaid is very vigilant. He won't come out. Let's go back."
Pei Qing shook his head, "He will."
They walked a long way, and the passage became darker and darker. Tang Di originally wanted to turn on the light, but Pei Qing stopped him.Then he turned on the flashlight he brought, and a small beam of quiet white light was projected through the glass into the sea.
Although mermaids are easily attracted by shiny things, they don't like too bright environments, only the light spots in the dark can really attract them.
Tang Di didn't like the cold atmosphere here very much. After waiting for about ten minutes, he found that Pei Qing still had no intention of leaving, so he walked over to persuade him: "Captain, let's go, the mermaid may be closer to you, but This doesn't mean that when you show up, he will..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Di automatically silenced his voice, because he saw the mermaid swimming slowly towards him, with vigorous and agile movements, showing a beautiful silhouette on the dark seabed.
What Tang Di saw before was a sealed mermaid, ferocious and manic. He never thought that the mermaid would have such a posture when it returned to the bottom of the sea, a graceful and almost noble posture.
——It's not like a beast at all, it's almost like a human.
But the mermaid didn't look at him, but swam towards Pei Qing, and then stopped in front of Pei Qing, separated by a thick layer of glass.
Tang Di hadn't paid attention to the body shape and appearance of the mermaid before, but now he happened to look at it with the dim light of the flashlight.
Flawless white, brown eyebrows are light, and the facial features seem to be carved out. Handsome is not enough to describe, but very beautiful, but that kind of beauty is almost weird and unknown.Especially the mermaid's eyes, the completely black eye sockets are indeed scary, but they have a ghostly allure.Probably because the mermaid lost a lot of blood during the capture plan, and then was sealed in a small tank, so the mermaid's physical condition is very poor, and the lip color has become very pale.But despite this, mermaids can be unbearable...
"He's very attractive, right..." Pei Qing said suddenly, and Tang Di, whose thoughts were interrupted, turned to look at the Captain.
Pei Qing laughed softly, that clear voice sounded a little inexplicably creepy in the silent environment.
"But don't really fall in love with him, because...he is mine."
Pei Qing stretched out his hand obsessively, and pressed it tightly against the glass.
Tang Di stared dumbfounded at the captain in front of him. The other party's clear face showed a slightly crazy expression at the moment, but the smile on his mouth was extremely gentle.
Tang Di suddenly felt a little fuzzy in his heart, and it was as if Pei Qing had lost his mind and went crazy.
He really didn't like the dark atmosphere of a ghost movie, so he turned on the light.The moment the dazzling lights came on, the mermaid seemed to be frightened, and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
Pei Qing stood in front of the glass, and after another ten minutes, the mermaid slowly appeared again, but this time it was far away, and only his graceful silhouette could be seen.
Tang Di persuaded: "Captain, let's go, it's too cold here, it's not suitable to stay for a long time."
Pei Qing didn't hear his words at all, because his attention was all on the mermaid's tail.Due to the injury, several pieces of scales at the end of the fish's tail fell off, revealing pale pink flesh and blood.
Pei Qing slowly lowered his face, and suddenly he made up his mind to walk out of the passage.
Tang Di was a little puzzled, but after all, he left here, so he quickly followed up and asked tentatively, "Captain, are you okay?"
Pei Qing turned around while walking, but said something else, "Don't tell what you saw today, otherwise..."
Tang Di's heart trembled, and he quickly replied: "Captain, don't worry, I won't inform you."
Pei Qing smiled, "I'm sorry, I'm neurotic. Whenever I encounter something about him, I tend to become extreme. I'm sorry, I shouldn't say such things."
Tang Di carefully looked at Pei Qing's expression, convinced that he was in a relatively peaceful state, and said: "Captain Pei, I think you seem to be out of order recently... Ever since you really met the mermaid, you have become... "
Pei Qing slowed down a little, "Isn't it normal?"
"Well," Tang Di nodded emphatically, "I think you are different from before... You are too persistent, and sometimes you are quite scary."
Pei Qing stopped suddenly and turned around, looking at Tang Di with those beautiful and sharp eyes, but the expression on his face was calm.
"No, I'm not different, it's just that you never really got to know me."
—
This huge, well-equipped warship, its design, structure, interconnection of space, etc., are much more complex and delicate than imagined, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a precisely functioning city.There are several independent biomedical research spaces, the largest one is connected to the seabed, and monitors the condition of the seabed mermaid all the time.
After Pei Qing checked the fingerprints, the electronic door opened automatically. In the bright and spacious research room, there were people in white uniforms busy. Two people were guarding in front of the big screen. There were corresponding operators for various monitoring instruments. There is a little assistant who brings tea and water.
Seeing Pei Qing walking in, they greeted him one after another.
The little assistant handed over the long white gown, and Pei Qing took it and put it on, and casually asked everyone, "How's the progress?"
One of them replied: "When you and Dr. Tang were in the submarine channel, the mermaid appeared, but his whereabouts were no longer monitored."
Sure enough, monitoring was installed everywhere, and every detail of the contact with the mermaid could not be hidden.
Pei Qing asked again: "Then... the moment he came out, did you detect anything?"
The man nodded hastily, "Thanks to Captain Pei for drawing him out, we got the first monitoring report."
In front of the smart electronic light board, various indicators are displayed in detail, from the most basic physical indicators to various blood pressure and pulse indicators, a long string lists the data of the mermaid's physical condition one by one.
The staff standing aside noticed that Captain Pei's complexion was slowly sinking, and they all sweated. The person in charge of monitoring hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Captain, is there... anything wrong?"
Pei Qing put down the electronic light board in his hand, and said calmly: "Most of this is nonsense."
The person in charge said cautiously, "Then... What do you mean, Captain?"
"Let me ask you, have you found out how many wounds he has on his body? Some wounds are bleeding until now, have you figured out a solution? Have you noticed that he is emotionally unstable? Do you know why he is hiding?"
A series of questions made the person in charge feel dizzy. He couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time after "hmmmmhhhhhhhh", and then he could only wipe his sweat with his sleeves.
The others standing aside all lowered their heads, for fear of being angered.
Pei Qing glanced at the ostrich-shaped crowd, but no one said anything, he shook his head, "Okay, you all go out."
"Ah?" The little assistant raised his head and said in panic, "Captain Pei, you...are you going to dismiss us?"
"Of course not," Pei Qing smiled lightly, "I don't have that much power, I just let you rest."
Everyone looked at each other, "This..."
"You can't help me."
The person in charge quickly took the lead in apologizing, "Captain, we already know what to do, can you stop driving us away?"
Pei Qing saw that all of them showed fear and sincerity, and sighed softly, "It's not because you are driving you away, but because you really can't help me, so go to another laboratory, I am enough here alone gone."
"But……"
"There's nothing left. If you stay here, the mermaid won't appear."
During the moment of stalemate, Pei Qing had already disconnected all the monitors placed in the sea, and turned off the main light in the research room, leaving only the glowing glass wall, emitting a faint blue light.
"Okay then..." The leader finally let go, "Captain Pei, I'll take them to help in another laboratory. If you need us, just call us at any time."
Pei Qing nodded, but didn't look back at them, but fiddled with something on his own.
The person in charge looked at Pei Qing standing busy in front of the lamp wall, frowned and shook his head, and led a group of people out.
The spacious research room suddenly became silent. Pei Qing stood under the huge glass screen, through which he could see the actual scene in the deep sea. The screen emitted a faint blue light, which should be able to attract the mermaid.
Pei Qing stood there and waited for a long time, but there was no movement on the bottom of the sea.
He sat on the floor when he was tired from standing, thinking that the child probably suffered too much fright today, and his physical strength was exhausted too much, so he was not bubbling much.
Pei Qing glanced at the time on the electronic watch, it was already three o'clock in the morning, he was very sleepy, and according to his biological clock, he should go to rest, but Pei Qing was afraid of wasting time.
Ever since he knew that there was a corresponding time limit for the completion of each task, he became less calm than before.On the one hand, he wants to protect himself, and at the same time, he doesn't want to break the rules of each world, so Pei Qing tries to use the identity of the protagonist and the thinking mode of the protagonist as a reference to regulate his behavior, and then he only needs to be a perfect bystander or is enough.
But gradually, he found that his thinking and the protagonist's thinking are more and more integrated, and the sense of substitution is getting stronger and stronger, as if he himself is this person!
Pei Qing was taken aback by his own thought. You must know that these are N worlds. Could it be that he has always been N-fold?
"Hey..." Pei Qing sighed, drove all kinds of unconstrained thoughts out of her mind, and decided to get down to business!
Lure system, this golden (?) finger with unknown attributes is time to come in handy!
After turning on the subsystem, Pei Qing continued to sit on the ground, with his forehead against the glass wall, a faint blue light shone on him, and there was silence all around.
This kind of atmosphere is very suitable for sleeping for the tired Pei Qing.He originally planned to lure the mermaid out to check the wound on his fish tail, but the stupid fish didn't come out for so long, Pei Qing was so sleepy that his eyelids were almost glued together.
Forget it, anyway, he is the only one in the research room, so it's fine to just sleep for one night.
With this thought in mind, Pei Qing really leaned against the glass wall and slowly fell asleep.
—
In his sleep, Pei Qing felt someone patting his shoulder lightly, and he opened his eyes in a daze.
Under the faint blue light of the glass wall, although the silhouette of the other party could not be seen clearly, Pei Qing could still recognize it with those pitch-black eyes.
The joy made Pei Qingyi grasp the opponent's hand, and then pulled the opponent into his arms, "You... how did you come out? It's strange, I obviously... didn't open the door of the water tank..."
Pei Qing hugged him tightly, because he was still thinking about the wound on the mermaid's body, and started to touch the other person's waist with his right hand, muttering in his mouth, "...does it still hurt here?"
Facing Pei Qing, who was sleepwalking and talking stupid things, Yan Zhe felt a little helpless.
He stretched out his hand, gently held Pei Qing's face, and lowered his voice as if he was afraid of waking him up, "Pei Qing, who are you talking to? Who do you think it is?"
After speaking, he moved a little closer, pinching Pei Qing's chin with his fingers, "Pei Qing? Are you asleep again? Are you awake or not?"
Pei Qing uttered a few indistinct syllables, leaning against the glass wall, half-closed his sleepy eyes, and still grabbed him tightly with his right hand.Yan Zhe frowned slightly, looked at Pei Qing in front of him, and sighed.
"Pei Qing, don't sleep here, go back..."
Yan Zhe took Pei Qing's arms, trying to pull him up from the ground.
Pei Qing, who was half asleep and half awake, weakened the cold aura on his body, exuding a kind of peace that made people approachable.The delicate brows were slightly frowned, and one couldn't help but want to smooth the small creases between his brows, and the soft black eyelashes fluttered up and down.
Yan Zhe suddenly felt his heart beating a few times, he couldn't help holding Pei Qing's face lightly, his warm fingertips slowly stroking the contours of his cheek...
Suddenly, a shadow came over.
Yan Zhe raised his head, his pupils constricted violently.He found that the mermaids at the bottom of the sea are much more eerie and terrifying than the frenzied mermaids on land.
The cold, emotionless gaze made people feel inexplicable fear.
Yan Zhe was stunned for a moment, and loosened the hand holding Pei Qing. Pei Qing's body slid down and hit the glass wall heavily, making a crisp sound.
Pei Qing was completely awake now, he opened his eyes suddenly, rubbed his head, "Hey...it hurts!"
When he raised his head, the mermaid had already met Yan Zhe, and they were both staring at each other.
The heavy drowsiness dissipated immediately, and Pei Qing quickly got up to 12 points. He just took a nap, why did he wake up like this?
He quickly stood up from the ground, blocking Yan Zhe's scrutiny, "General Yan, why are you here?"
Yan Zhe then slowly turned his attention to Pei Qing, "I am your superior, why can't I come? But you, why did you fall asleep here?"
Pei Qing smiled, "I'm a little tired from research."
"That's good, I'll give this task to someone else..."
Pei Qing immediately shouted: "Don't!" Then he realized that he was too angry, so he slowed down his tone, "I... I can bear it, General Yan doesn't need to trouble others."
Yan Zhe looked at Pei Qing with complicated eyes, "Captain Pei, don't let things go off track, after all, mermaids are not humans."
Hearing these words, Pei Qing felt a slight chill in his heart, he lowered his eyes, "...I know."
Yan Zhe walked over, stretched out his hand, put his arms around Pei Qing's shoulders, and led him outside, "It's almost dawn, let's go back and have a rest."
When he reached the door, Pei Qing stopped, "General Yan, I don't need to rest, let's start working directly." He was a little anxious and wanted to carefully examine the wounds on the mermaid's body.
Yan Zhe was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "No."
"General Yan..."
"I said no," Yan Zhe's expression was rare and serious, "You go back to rest immediately, or I will revoke your participation qualification."
Pei Qing stared at him with wide eyes, "This is too... forcing me to rest?!"
Yan Zhe didn't want to argue with Pei Qing, he had already seen Pei Qing's sharp tongue, so tough orders were more effective.
"Captain Pei, no one can work continuously for such a long time. Do you have to drive yourself crazy? No, you are already crazy. What kind of magic power does that mermaid have to make you obsessed like that? Do you know other people? What is everyone saying about you behind your back?"
After being reprimanded, Pei Qing froze for a tenth of a second, and then said coldly, "I'm too lazy to care about other people's opinions."
"Pei Qing!"
"Okay, General Yan, I understand," Pei Qing cut off the other party's words, "Thank you for your kindness, I'll go to rest now."
After saying this, Pei Qing walked in another direction.
Yan Zhe looked at his stubborn back and shook his head. He inadvertently glanced at the research room. The mermaid he saw just now was completely gone.
☆、49·Bait (nine)
Naturally, Pei Qing wouldn't just nestle in the room and rest. He was irritated by Yan Zhe's words, and he still remembered that silly fish in his heart, so he couldn't feel at ease at all.After thinking for a while, he dug out several spare long white long clothes in his room, and returned to the research room with those clothes in hand.
This time, the mermaid appeared very quickly, Pei Qing stood in front of the glass wall and waited for a few minutes before seeing the familiar silhouette.
Pei Qing led the mermaid to the exit, and he unlocked the water cabin door on the ground from the outside. The mermaid jumped up suddenly, and the big fish's tail flicked past, splashing water beads all over Pei Qing's body. A large area around it was wet.
Pei Qing wiped the water stains on his face with the back of his hand. In some respects, this fish's disposition is just like that of a child.
The mermaid's upper body was lying on the ground, and its tail was dangling in the water. Pei Qing felt that the current condition of this irritable fish was relatively peaceful, so he planned to check his wounds.He turned around and rummaged through the console, found some testing instruments, and took out the medicine box by the way.
Turn around...
Well, Pei Qing had already guessed that this would be the case. He picked up a long white dress he brought and put it on his naked and beautiful body.Then Pei Qing went to the console again, turned on the sterilization device in the research room, and turned around...
Pei Qing helped his forehead helplessly, "It's fine if you don't wear it, why throw it into the water?"
So, he took another long white coat and walked over to wrap it around the mermaid, but the other party wanted to tear off the coat again, but Pei Qing held his hand to prevent him from doing so.
"Don't make trouble, since you have become a human, you should wear human clothes!"
The mermaid stared at Pei Qing for a moment, then slowly let go of her hand, and stopped messing with the dress.
Pei Qing laughed, "Good boy."
As a result, as soon as he stood up, the mermaid pulled the clothes off, and with a loud snap, the clothes were torn in two by his sharp nails.
Fortunately, Pei Qing prepared several pieces, and he took the last one
Pei Qing rushed over in a panic, only to find that the whole tank of water was full of thick scarlet, sticky as if it had frozen.
Pei Qing stretched out his hand tremblingly, and lifted the other person's face.
The mermaid's eyes were closed tightly, she had not breathed for a long time, and there was no sign of life.
Pei Qing cried silently, and the tears began to flow down unconsciously, dripping into the stagnant blood, making a slight "didi" sound.
Pei Qing hugged the mermaid's shoulders tightly, trying to drag him out of the thick blood, but found the dark blue fish tail...
Missed.
was cut off in its entirety.
—
Waking up suddenly from the nightmare, Pei Qing, who was drenched in cold sweat, seemed to still be able to smell that cruel smell. He felt his chest was blocked by that pungent fishy smell, and the pain made him want to vomit a mouthful of blood.
Pei Qing stood up and rushed out like crazy.
The side effects of the sedative hadn't completely passed away, his head hurt very much, and his feet were a little unsteady.
However, none of this matters anymore.
All he wanted now was to see him right away.
The author has something to say:
①#欢迎小剧场之广岛survival#
The mermaid took out the shell.
Pei Qing was very happy, "There are pearls!"
The mermaid took out the coral.
Pei Qing was still very happy, "It's best for watching, but it's a bit big."
The mermaid grabs a live fish.
Pei Qing smiled, "It just happens to be baked and eaten!"
The mermaid caught another snake.
Pei Qing hesitated, "This..."
The mermaid climbed ashore by herself.
Pei Qing: "..."
☆、47·Bait ([-])
In the airtight constant temperature water tank, the mermaid floated lifelessly in it. He must have struggled desperately from being caught to being locked in here. Several dark blue scales on the tail of the fish have fallen off, and there are no scales. Pale pink flesh was exposed, with bright red blood streaks.
The water in the tank was originally colorless and transparent, but the blood oozing from the mermaid's wounds dyed them a faint red.
Pei Qing rushed up and grabbed a doctor by the collar, "What did you do to him? Why did he become like this?"
The doctor was taken aback and couldn't speak fluently, "I...we didn't do anything...it was him..."
Pei Qing didn't want to hear his ramblings, so he shouted, "Open the water tank for me!"
The doctor cried and said wronged: "Captain, you can't let him out..."
"I'll repeat it again!" Pei Qing's expression became a little scary, and he paused every word, "Open, water, tank!"
The doctor was about to cry, "This... can't be done! Captain Pei, now Captain Xie Ming is leading this research, his fingerprint is needed to open the water tank, don't embarrass me..."
Pei Qing sneered, pushed the doctor aside, picked up a chair, and threw it at the water tank. If he didn't break it once, he smashed it a second time, and a third time...
The doctor hurried over and took Pei Qing's hand, "Captain, don't do this, you can't release the mermaid!"
With a heavy wave of Pei Qing's hand, the doctor was pushed to the ground by him, and then he continued to smash the chair desperately, but the water tank trapping the mermaid must not be made of ordinary materials, Pei Qing exerted force suddenly, and the chair fell apart with a crash. But the water tank did not produce a single crack.
The mermaid trapped inside stared at Pei Qing motionlessly.
There was still no expression on his face, and there was no trace of emotion in his eyes.
Pei Qing suddenly felt extremely heartbroken.
He was silent for a moment, and directly took out the bullet gun on his side. The doctor was terrified when he saw his posture, and he got up from the ground and hugged Pei Qing's arm firmly, "Captain, don't be impulsive. Ah, this is against military regulations!"
Pei Qing didn't even look at him, his eyes stayed on the mermaid.He suppressed his throat, as if he was afraid that the other party would be frightened, and softly spit out the following words: "Trust me again, okay?"
The mermaid's eyeballs moved slightly, staring at Pei Qing.After a while, he turned his body over in the small tank, and his beautiful fish tail stuck to the wall of the tank.
"Don't do this! Captain, calm down! The alarm will sound!"
The doctor tightly hugged Pei Qing's arm, but was pushed away even harder.Then Pei Qing fired without hesitation, and fired several times until there were no more bullets in the chamber.
The wall of the water tank was penetrated by bullets, and cracks spread rapidly like spider webs. Soon, with a loud "pop", the entire wall of the water tank was completely shattered. sounded.
The mermaid landed on the wet ground full of debris, the fish tail slapped vigorously on the ground, the debris on the ground was splashed by him, and several pieces were even inserted/inserted into the fish tail, blood seeped out , mixed with the water flow, soon dyed the area under the mermaid's body red.
Pei Qing anxiously wanted to check his injuries, but the mermaid didn't seem to accept Pei Qing's approach. He let out a threatening growl and showed his sharp teeth.
"Don't be there, you'll hurt yourself, shall we change places?"
Pei Qing stretched out his hand, but just as he touched the mermaid's shoulder, the other party bit down on it.
Pei Qing took a deep breath, and at the same time that the severe pain in his arm was transmitted to his brain, his heart unexpectedly collapsed like a landslide, feeling relieved.
As if a heavy psychological burden had been lifted, Pei Qing even hoped that the pain could be more intense.
So, Pei Qing simply let the mermaid bite his left hand, endured the pain and pulled his other arm with his right hand, this time the mermaid bit even harder, Pei Qing even heard a crackling sound, probably because the bone was broken He crushed it.
Fortunately, this iron body can bear it, otherwise most people would probably go into shock from the pain.
Pei Qing gritted his teeth, and dragged the violent and fierce mermaid to the clean side. There was no debris on the ground, so no matter how much he tossed about, he would not be injured.
Pei Qing's little arm was bitten wide open by the mermaid, blood spurted out, probably because the smell of blood was too strong, the mermaid finally let go of its mouth slowly, and was not as irritable as before.
Pei Qing's face quickly turned pale, and the massive blood loss made him feel weak.
The door was kicked open suddenly, and Yan Zhe rushed in with a group of soldiers with guns. When he saw that it was Pei Qing, Yan Zhe's face turned livid, but he still put away his guns, and the others put away their guns one after another. When they got up, everyone showed extremely surprised expressions.
Xie Ming was following behind. Seeing the mess in the room, he dragged Pei Qing up from the ground and asked, "How dare you do that?!"
Yan Zhe stopped him, and reprimanded him majestically: "Xie Ming, it's not your turn to do it yet, right?"
Xie Ming responded in a low voice, and then slowly let go of his hand.
When Tang Di saw such a chaotic scene as soon as he entered the door, he panicked for a moment, but soon he calmed down, walked over quickly, and used the hemostatic bandage he carried with him to wrap around Pei Qing's wound tightly. .
Yan Zhe suppressed the rising anger, and asked Pei Qing patiently, "You did this?"
Pei Qing said blankly, "Give me this project."
He said "give" directly and forcefully, not even bothering to ask.
Xie Ming pointed at Pei Qing and shouted: "You have deliberately let the mermaid escape several times before, do you think we don't know about those things? The project has been delayed again and again because of you, you dare to say that you will do it without selfishness Research?"
Xie Ming's questioning was not unreasonable, and Pei Qing must also be aware of his own selfishness, but he just couldn't bear it, and when he thought of the mermaid falling into the hands of others, he became very angry.
Yan Zhe pressed the center of his eyebrows, he felt that ever since Pei Qing fell into the sea and was rescued, he had become unreasonable, stubborn and arrogant, "Pei Qing, stop joking, with your current mentality It is no longer possible to continue participating in research."
Pei Qing looked cold, and pursed his lips tightly, "No one knows him better than me, why can't I participate in the research?"
Xie Ming laughed mockingly, "You obviously had many opportunities to approach him, but you let him go every time. I think you have other thoughts about the mermaid!"
Pei Qing glanced in Yan Zhe's direction, but the other party still had a sullen and suspicious look on his face. Obviously, he would not stand by his side unconditionally, so he had to be patient.
Pei Qing managed to slow down his tone, "General Yan, you trust me, no one can get close to the mermaid except me, so leave him to me."
"Captain Pei is right about this," the military doctor who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "Mermaids are very ferocious underwater creatures, and they are very sensitive to smells, so they won't let strangers approach them easily, so , I also suggest that Captain Pei be in charge of this project."
Yan Zhe became even more skeptical, "Even Doctor Tang helped Pei Qing speak?"
Tang Di's face froze, and Pei Qing rushed to the conversation before him, "If you don't believe General Yan, you can find someone to try it out."
Hearing this explanation, Xie Ming laughed disdainfully, "Isn't it the method of provoking generals? Okay, then I'll try it."
He pushed Pei Qing aside, then squatted down, tentatively reaching out to the mermaid.
The mermaid's attack power will be greatly weakened on land, and he experienced the struggle when he was trapped, and then he was suffocated in the water tank. The mermaid's physical condition is not very optimistic.
But the moment Xie Ming stretched out his hand, the mermaid seized the perfect opportunity to attack, and rushed over with incredible speed, biting straight at the throat!
Pei Qing exhausted all his strength to hug the frenzied mermaid, suppressing his actions.Otherwise, in a few seconds, Xie Ming's throat would be completely bitten off by him.
Everyone except Pei Qing was deeply shocked by the scene in front of them. The speed of the mermaid's hunting was so fast that before he had time to see it clearly, he threw himself in front of Xie Ming.
Pei Qing turned his gaze to Yan Zhe, "General Yan, have you seen it now?"
Xie Ming, who narrowly escaped from the hands of the god of death, quickly stood up from the ground. The horror just now left him with lingering fears. He slightly suppressed the look of contempt on his face, and a little doubt arose in his heart.Because he had monitored Pei Qing's every move before this, he had seen several scenes of the mermaid getting along with Pei Qing.
That scene made him think that the mermaid was a docile species similar to dolphins, but now, he had to re-examine this conclusion.
The mermaid was held in Pei Qing's arms, and unexpectedly became quiet. Pei Qing raised his head and looked at the crowd, "No one can get close to him except me, so you can't do without me."
Yan Zhe would not have completely believed Pei Qing's words so simply, but the hesitation in his eyes at least showed that he had wavered in the idea of resolutely isolating Pei Qing.
Pei Qing continued: "I put everything here, but now you want to separate me instead?"
After a long silence, Yan Zhe sighed heavily, "Okay..."
Pei Qing pulled out a faint smile, "Then thank you, General Yan."
"But the ugly words are up front. If there is no result within half a month, you will sell immediately."
Pei Qing gave a military salute, "Obey."
Yan Zhe saw blood oozing from the hemostatic bandage on Pei Qing's arm again, and said to Tang Di, "Help Captain Pei down quickly."
Before leaving, Pei Qing told the others: "Send the mermaid to open water, don't seal it in a water tank."
The military department has already surrounded a small piece of sea area with a net made of special material, forming a natural cage, and the mermaid cannot escape.But at least it's better than staying in a closed tank, which is an insult to the sacred species of mermaid.
Pei Qing followed Tang Di to the senior infirmary, but was stopped by Xie Ming. Pei Qing gave him a cold look, "Get out."
"I have to remind the majestic Captain," Xie Ming said sarcastically, "Don't be so stupid as to have feelings for the prey, no matter how human he is, he is still a beast, too close a distance will make you feel It's fate."
Pei Qing replied without changing his face, "Take care of yourself" and took Tang Di away.
—
After arriving at the central infirmary, after confirming that there was no one around, Pei Qing smiled and said, "Master military doctor, thank you for speaking for me just now."
Tang Di shook his head in shock, "If you do this again in the future, please notify me in advance, so that I can be mentally prepared."
When checking the wound, the military doctor showed a solemn expression, "Are you in great pain now?"
Pei Qing slumped on the chair weakly, "What do you think?"
It was too urgent just now, Pei Qing didn't pay attention to himself, let alone how painful his wound was.Only now did he fully react, the severe pain hit him, and even his vision was slightly blurred.
"Captain, lie down and go to the operating room. I'll call some assistants over. I'm afraid your wound will need a knife."
—
After anesthesia in the afternoon, the knife was used, and Pei Qing woke up at night. The pain in his left hand was still so painful, but the pain had been relieved a lot. The forearm was only wrapped with a thick bandage, and there was no splint or plaster in the way. s things.
Pei Qing once again lamented the tolerance of this body.
He put on his shoes and stood up. Tang Di came in with food and asked, "Do you want some?"
Pei Qing shook his head, "I'm going to see him."
"Guess you'll say that, but it's useless if you go."
Pei Qing frowned, "Why? What happened to him?"
"The mermaid seems to be hiding in a blind spot that the submarine monitor cannot detect, and nothing can be seen on the screen except sea water."
Pei Qing asked again: "Then shall we go to the submarine passage to see?"
"You can't even see it on the monitor, so go to the submarine channel to see him like visiting an aquarium?" Tang Di shrugged, "That's even more impossible."
Pei Qing lowered his head and remained silent for a while, "How will you know if you don't try?"
Then he walked out without saying a word.
☆、48·Bait (eight)
The sea area near the shore has been controlled by the military, and the net of special material has enclosed this area as a human domain.The submarine passage goes from the sea surface to the deep seabed, and is several kilometers long. In the 21st century, this may be the most exquisite ocean viewing passage.
However, people in this world are not in the mood to visit the seabed, because those seabed creatures have already mutated, most of them are weird and ugly, and they will not easily appear in the field of vision of human beings.
When Pei Qing and Tang Di walked down, the only sound of their footsteps echoed in the long passage.
The deeper you go, the darker the light. Tang Di felt that the atmosphere was a bit mysterious, which made his hair stand on end. "Captain, the mermaid is very vigilant. He won't come out. Let's go back."
Pei Qing shook his head, "He will."
They walked a long way, and the passage became darker and darker. Tang Di originally wanted to turn on the light, but Pei Qing stopped him.Then he turned on the flashlight he brought, and a small beam of quiet white light was projected through the glass into the sea.
Although mermaids are easily attracted by shiny things, they don't like too bright environments, only the light spots in the dark can really attract them.
Tang Di didn't like the cold atmosphere here very much. After waiting for about ten minutes, he found that Pei Qing still had no intention of leaving, so he walked over to persuade him: "Captain, let's go, the mermaid may be closer to you, but This doesn't mean that when you show up, he will..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Di automatically silenced his voice, because he saw the mermaid swimming slowly towards him, with vigorous and agile movements, showing a beautiful silhouette on the dark seabed.
What Tang Di saw before was a sealed mermaid, ferocious and manic. He never thought that the mermaid would have such a posture when it returned to the bottom of the sea, a graceful and almost noble posture.
——It's not like a beast at all, it's almost like a human.
But the mermaid didn't look at him, but swam towards Pei Qing, and then stopped in front of Pei Qing, separated by a thick layer of glass.
Tang Di hadn't paid attention to the body shape and appearance of the mermaid before, but now he happened to look at it with the dim light of the flashlight.
Flawless white, brown eyebrows are light, and the facial features seem to be carved out. Handsome is not enough to describe, but very beautiful, but that kind of beauty is almost weird and unknown.Especially the mermaid's eyes, the completely black eye sockets are indeed scary, but they have a ghostly allure.Probably because the mermaid lost a lot of blood during the capture plan, and then was sealed in a small tank, so the mermaid's physical condition is very poor, and the lip color has become very pale.But despite this, mermaids can be unbearable...
"He's very attractive, right..." Pei Qing said suddenly, and Tang Di, whose thoughts were interrupted, turned to look at the Captain.
Pei Qing laughed softly, that clear voice sounded a little inexplicably creepy in the silent environment.
"But don't really fall in love with him, because...he is mine."
Pei Qing stretched out his hand obsessively, and pressed it tightly against the glass.
Tang Di stared dumbfounded at the captain in front of him. The other party's clear face showed a slightly crazy expression at the moment, but the smile on his mouth was extremely gentle.
Tang Di suddenly felt a little fuzzy in his heart, and it was as if Pei Qing had lost his mind and went crazy.
He really didn't like the dark atmosphere of a ghost movie, so he turned on the light.The moment the dazzling lights came on, the mermaid seemed to be frightened, and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
Pei Qing stood in front of the glass, and after another ten minutes, the mermaid slowly appeared again, but this time it was far away, and only his graceful silhouette could be seen.
Tang Di persuaded: "Captain, let's go, it's too cold here, it's not suitable to stay for a long time."
Pei Qing didn't hear his words at all, because his attention was all on the mermaid's tail.Due to the injury, several pieces of scales at the end of the fish's tail fell off, revealing pale pink flesh and blood.
Pei Qing slowly lowered his face, and suddenly he made up his mind to walk out of the passage.
Tang Di was a little puzzled, but after all, he left here, so he quickly followed up and asked tentatively, "Captain, are you okay?"
Pei Qing turned around while walking, but said something else, "Don't tell what you saw today, otherwise..."
Tang Di's heart trembled, and he quickly replied: "Captain, don't worry, I won't inform you."
Pei Qing smiled, "I'm sorry, I'm neurotic. Whenever I encounter something about him, I tend to become extreme. I'm sorry, I shouldn't say such things."
Tang Di carefully looked at Pei Qing's expression, convinced that he was in a relatively peaceful state, and said: "Captain Pei, I think you seem to be out of order recently... Ever since you really met the mermaid, you have become... "
Pei Qing slowed down a little, "Isn't it normal?"
"Well," Tang Di nodded emphatically, "I think you are different from before... You are too persistent, and sometimes you are quite scary."
Pei Qing stopped suddenly and turned around, looking at Tang Di with those beautiful and sharp eyes, but the expression on his face was calm.
"No, I'm not different, it's just that you never really got to know me."
—
This huge, well-equipped warship, its design, structure, interconnection of space, etc., are much more complex and delicate than imagined, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a precisely functioning city.There are several independent biomedical research spaces, the largest one is connected to the seabed, and monitors the condition of the seabed mermaid all the time.
After Pei Qing checked the fingerprints, the electronic door opened automatically. In the bright and spacious research room, there were people in white uniforms busy. Two people were guarding in front of the big screen. There were corresponding operators for various monitoring instruments. There is a little assistant who brings tea and water.
Seeing Pei Qing walking in, they greeted him one after another.
The little assistant handed over the long white gown, and Pei Qing took it and put it on, and casually asked everyone, "How's the progress?"
One of them replied: "When you and Dr. Tang were in the submarine channel, the mermaid appeared, but his whereabouts were no longer monitored."
Sure enough, monitoring was installed everywhere, and every detail of the contact with the mermaid could not be hidden.
Pei Qing asked again: "Then... the moment he came out, did you detect anything?"
The man nodded hastily, "Thanks to Captain Pei for drawing him out, we got the first monitoring report."
In front of the smart electronic light board, various indicators are displayed in detail, from the most basic physical indicators to various blood pressure and pulse indicators, a long string lists the data of the mermaid's physical condition one by one.
The staff standing aside noticed that Captain Pei's complexion was slowly sinking, and they all sweated. The person in charge of monitoring hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Captain, is there... anything wrong?"
Pei Qing put down the electronic light board in his hand, and said calmly: "Most of this is nonsense."
The person in charge said cautiously, "Then... What do you mean, Captain?"
"Let me ask you, have you found out how many wounds he has on his body? Some wounds are bleeding until now, have you figured out a solution? Have you noticed that he is emotionally unstable? Do you know why he is hiding?"
A series of questions made the person in charge feel dizzy. He couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time after "hmmmmhhhhhhhh", and then he could only wipe his sweat with his sleeves.
The others standing aside all lowered their heads, for fear of being angered.
Pei Qing glanced at the ostrich-shaped crowd, but no one said anything, he shook his head, "Okay, you all go out."
"Ah?" The little assistant raised his head and said in panic, "Captain Pei, you...are you going to dismiss us?"
"Of course not," Pei Qing smiled lightly, "I don't have that much power, I just let you rest."
Everyone looked at each other, "This..."
"You can't help me."
The person in charge quickly took the lead in apologizing, "Captain, we already know what to do, can you stop driving us away?"
Pei Qing saw that all of them showed fear and sincerity, and sighed softly, "It's not because you are driving you away, but because you really can't help me, so go to another laboratory, I am enough here alone gone."
"But……"
"There's nothing left. If you stay here, the mermaid won't appear."
During the moment of stalemate, Pei Qing had already disconnected all the monitors placed in the sea, and turned off the main light in the research room, leaving only the glowing glass wall, emitting a faint blue light.
"Okay then..." The leader finally let go, "Captain Pei, I'll take them to help in another laboratory. If you need us, just call us at any time."
Pei Qing nodded, but didn't look back at them, but fiddled with something on his own.
The person in charge looked at Pei Qing standing busy in front of the lamp wall, frowned and shook his head, and led a group of people out.
The spacious research room suddenly became silent. Pei Qing stood under the huge glass screen, through which he could see the actual scene in the deep sea. The screen emitted a faint blue light, which should be able to attract the mermaid.
Pei Qing stood there and waited for a long time, but there was no movement on the bottom of the sea.
He sat on the floor when he was tired from standing, thinking that the child probably suffered too much fright today, and his physical strength was exhausted too much, so he was not bubbling much.
Pei Qing glanced at the time on the electronic watch, it was already three o'clock in the morning, he was very sleepy, and according to his biological clock, he should go to rest, but Pei Qing was afraid of wasting time.
Ever since he knew that there was a corresponding time limit for the completion of each task, he became less calm than before.On the one hand, he wants to protect himself, and at the same time, he doesn't want to break the rules of each world, so Pei Qing tries to use the identity of the protagonist and the thinking mode of the protagonist as a reference to regulate his behavior, and then he only needs to be a perfect bystander or is enough.
But gradually, he found that his thinking and the protagonist's thinking are more and more integrated, and the sense of substitution is getting stronger and stronger, as if he himself is this person!
Pei Qing was taken aback by his own thought. You must know that these are N worlds. Could it be that he has always been N-fold?
"Hey..." Pei Qing sighed, drove all kinds of unconstrained thoughts out of her mind, and decided to get down to business!
Lure system, this golden (?) finger with unknown attributes is time to come in handy!
After turning on the subsystem, Pei Qing continued to sit on the ground, with his forehead against the glass wall, a faint blue light shone on him, and there was silence all around.
This kind of atmosphere is very suitable for sleeping for the tired Pei Qing.He originally planned to lure the mermaid out to check the wound on his fish tail, but the stupid fish didn't come out for so long, Pei Qing was so sleepy that his eyelids were almost glued together.
Forget it, anyway, he is the only one in the research room, so it's fine to just sleep for one night.
With this thought in mind, Pei Qing really leaned against the glass wall and slowly fell asleep.
—
In his sleep, Pei Qing felt someone patting his shoulder lightly, and he opened his eyes in a daze.
Under the faint blue light of the glass wall, although the silhouette of the other party could not be seen clearly, Pei Qing could still recognize it with those pitch-black eyes.
The joy made Pei Qingyi grasp the opponent's hand, and then pulled the opponent into his arms, "You... how did you come out? It's strange, I obviously... didn't open the door of the water tank..."
Pei Qing hugged him tightly, because he was still thinking about the wound on the mermaid's body, and started to touch the other person's waist with his right hand, muttering in his mouth, "...does it still hurt here?"
Facing Pei Qing, who was sleepwalking and talking stupid things, Yan Zhe felt a little helpless.
He stretched out his hand, gently held Pei Qing's face, and lowered his voice as if he was afraid of waking him up, "Pei Qing, who are you talking to? Who do you think it is?"
After speaking, he moved a little closer, pinching Pei Qing's chin with his fingers, "Pei Qing? Are you asleep again? Are you awake or not?"
Pei Qing uttered a few indistinct syllables, leaning against the glass wall, half-closed his sleepy eyes, and still grabbed him tightly with his right hand.Yan Zhe frowned slightly, looked at Pei Qing in front of him, and sighed.
"Pei Qing, don't sleep here, go back..."
Yan Zhe took Pei Qing's arms, trying to pull him up from the ground.
Pei Qing, who was half asleep and half awake, weakened the cold aura on his body, exuding a kind of peace that made people approachable.The delicate brows were slightly frowned, and one couldn't help but want to smooth the small creases between his brows, and the soft black eyelashes fluttered up and down.
Yan Zhe suddenly felt his heart beating a few times, he couldn't help holding Pei Qing's face lightly, his warm fingertips slowly stroking the contours of his cheek...
Suddenly, a shadow came over.
Yan Zhe raised his head, his pupils constricted violently.He found that the mermaids at the bottom of the sea are much more eerie and terrifying than the frenzied mermaids on land.
The cold, emotionless gaze made people feel inexplicable fear.
Yan Zhe was stunned for a moment, and loosened the hand holding Pei Qing. Pei Qing's body slid down and hit the glass wall heavily, making a crisp sound.
Pei Qing was completely awake now, he opened his eyes suddenly, rubbed his head, "Hey...it hurts!"
When he raised his head, the mermaid had already met Yan Zhe, and they were both staring at each other.
The heavy drowsiness dissipated immediately, and Pei Qing quickly got up to 12 points. He just took a nap, why did he wake up like this?
He quickly stood up from the ground, blocking Yan Zhe's scrutiny, "General Yan, why are you here?"
Yan Zhe then slowly turned his attention to Pei Qing, "I am your superior, why can't I come? But you, why did you fall asleep here?"
Pei Qing smiled, "I'm a little tired from research."
"That's good, I'll give this task to someone else..."
Pei Qing immediately shouted: "Don't!" Then he realized that he was too angry, so he slowed down his tone, "I... I can bear it, General Yan doesn't need to trouble others."
Yan Zhe looked at Pei Qing with complicated eyes, "Captain Pei, don't let things go off track, after all, mermaids are not humans."
Hearing these words, Pei Qing felt a slight chill in his heart, he lowered his eyes, "...I know."
Yan Zhe walked over, stretched out his hand, put his arms around Pei Qing's shoulders, and led him outside, "It's almost dawn, let's go back and have a rest."
When he reached the door, Pei Qing stopped, "General Yan, I don't need to rest, let's start working directly." He was a little anxious and wanted to carefully examine the wounds on the mermaid's body.
Yan Zhe was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "No."
"General Yan..."
"I said no," Yan Zhe's expression was rare and serious, "You go back to rest immediately, or I will revoke your participation qualification."
Pei Qing stared at him with wide eyes, "This is too... forcing me to rest?!"
Yan Zhe didn't want to argue with Pei Qing, he had already seen Pei Qing's sharp tongue, so tough orders were more effective.
"Captain Pei, no one can work continuously for such a long time. Do you have to drive yourself crazy? No, you are already crazy. What kind of magic power does that mermaid have to make you obsessed like that? Do you know other people? What is everyone saying about you behind your back?"
After being reprimanded, Pei Qing froze for a tenth of a second, and then said coldly, "I'm too lazy to care about other people's opinions."
"Pei Qing!"
"Okay, General Yan, I understand," Pei Qing cut off the other party's words, "Thank you for your kindness, I'll go to rest now."
After saying this, Pei Qing walked in another direction.
Yan Zhe looked at his stubborn back and shook his head. He inadvertently glanced at the research room. The mermaid he saw just now was completely gone.
☆、49·Bait (nine)
Naturally, Pei Qing wouldn't just nestle in the room and rest. He was irritated by Yan Zhe's words, and he still remembered that silly fish in his heart, so he couldn't feel at ease at all.After thinking for a while, he dug out several spare long white long clothes in his room, and returned to the research room with those clothes in hand.
This time, the mermaid appeared very quickly, Pei Qing stood in front of the glass wall and waited for a few minutes before seeing the familiar silhouette.
Pei Qing led the mermaid to the exit, and he unlocked the water cabin door on the ground from the outside. The mermaid jumped up suddenly, and the big fish's tail flicked past, splashing water beads all over Pei Qing's body. A large area around it was wet.
Pei Qing wiped the water stains on his face with the back of his hand. In some respects, this fish's disposition is just like that of a child.
The mermaid's upper body was lying on the ground, and its tail was dangling in the water. Pei Qing felt that the current condition of this irritable fish was relatively peaceful, so he planned to check his wounds.He turned around and rummaged through the console, found some testing instruments, and took out the medicine box by the way.
Turn around...
Well, Pei Qing had already guessed that this would be the case. He picked up a long white dress he brought and put it on his naked and beautiful body.Then Pei Qing went to the console again, turned on the sterilization device in the research room, and turned around...
Pei Qing helped his forehead helplessly, "It's fine if you don't wear it, why throw it into the water?"
So, he took another long white coat and walked over to wrap it around the mermaid, but the other party wanted to tear off the coat again, but Pei Qing held his hand to prevent him from doing so.
"Don't make trouble, since you have become a human, you should wear human clothes!"
The mermaid stared at Pei Qing for a moment, then slowly let go of her hand, and stopped messing with the dress.
Pei Qing laughed, "Good boy."
As a result, as soon as he stood up, the mermaid pulled the clothes off, and with a loud snap, the clothes were torn in two by his sharp nails.
Fortunately, Pei Qing prepared several pieces, and he took the last one
