Quickly wear: There are always those who are not afraid of death and want to torture me

The heart of a mermaid is said to be the thing that can grant humans eternal life. For thousands of years, countless people have been searching for it, even risking their own lives.

However, there are many records in history about obtaining the heart of a mermaid, but no one has survived to this day.

In Selene's ancestral notebook, there is this sentence: What the mermaid heart brings is not immortality but a curse! !

Therefore, Selene immediately devoted herself to research after getting the mermaid heart.But he didn't notice that the mermaid's heart began to harden after leaving the body.

By the time he tried to save it, it was already too late.

Even if placed in a vacuum, the mermaid's heart continues the process of "deterioration" irreversibly.At first it was just a lump of flesh with the outline of the heart visible, but gradually it seemed to be shrinking and getting smaller.

In the end, it turned into a bead the size of a table tennis ball.

The whole body is blue and crystal clear, as if it contains a sea of ​​stars. When you look through the light, you can still see the bright and twinkling light spots in it.

As expected of a magical creature, everything about mermaids is full of mysterious magic that even science cannot explain.

In less than 20 days, the mermaid's heart has completely deteriorated.The surface becomes harder than diamond, making it impossible to get started.

In the first two years, Selene also tried various methods to break down the mermaid's heart.

However, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he just couldn't succeed.

The little mermaid heart is like an indestructible fortress, with no weak points and no way to cut it.

It was not until later that the royal family got tired of his fruitless research and took the mermaid heart back to the royal family and sealed it in a place that he could not reach.

Every time she thought of this past event, Selene would feel a sense of regret in her heart.

It's not like no one has asked him about the mermaid heart before. Most people want to know whether the mermaid heart can truly make people immortal, or what they have researched using the mermaid heart.

But few people ask him what Mermaid Heart looks like, and no one asks him "Is Mermaid Heart beautiful?"

But now, someone asked him this question.The tone was affectionate and eager, full of expectation and curiosity.

Selene looked at the young man with ocean blue hair in front of her, and for the first time she didn't feel impatient.

Said: "The heart of a mermaid is like a sapphire, it is indeed beautiful."

After finishing speaking, seeing the young man's eyes of disbelief and surprise, he added another sentence: "Do you want to see the photo of Mermaid Heart? I can send it to you."

This was the first time Selene took the initiative to add contact information to someone. The two exchanged words, and the young man said to him enthusiastically: "Professor Peel, I will graduate in two months. By then, I will join the research institute as your assistant. Studying mermaids has always been my dream, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

"You're welcome," Selene said in his usual calm and distant tone.I added something in my heart: I want to thank Crown Prince Rosser, who allowed you to come in.

This exception was at most a small episode in Selene's life, and was soon forgotten by him.

After that, Moqin ignored all of his greetings and some professional questions on the optical brain. For the sake of the Crown Prince, Selene felt that she had done enough.

Two months passed quickly, and Selene's research reached its most critical moment.

On this day, he walked into the laboratory as usual, but saw a young and unfamiliar figure in front of Experiment Box No. [-].

Selene's already bad mood worsened. He frowned, turned to his assistant and said, "Didn't I tell you not to recruit interns to my laboratory again?! This belongs to the empire!" Top secret, who will be responsible if something goes wrong!"

The assistant reminded him awkwardly: "Professor Peel, that person was recommended by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, have you forgotten?"

Selene frowned even more and looked at the young man over there again.

The other party noticed his gaze, raised his gaze from the light screen displaying the data, and greeted him cheerfully the next second after looking at him: "Professor, good morning!" A pair of green eyes looked like under the light. As beautiful as emerald.

"His name is Tixi, right?" Selene asked the assistant beside her.

"Yes."

The young man seemed not to have heard their previous conversation. He walked over with a smile, turned on the light screen, and said to Selene:

"Professor, I have recorded the first set of data today. Please see if it meets expectations."

Selene frowned and browsed through a series of numbers. She raised her head and said to Mochin: "On your first day in the laboratory, you can't do these things according to the rules. Merkley, take Mr. Burton to the office to help him familiarize himself with the current situation." Case."

Merkley is the name of Selene's assistant.He immediately obeyed the order and took the young man out.

In Selene's plan, a "connected person" like Moqin would just give him an inconsequential idle job such as sorting documents.

The experiment on regeneration technology was at a critical moment, and he didn't want anyone or anything to interfere with his plan.

Soon, Mochin took off his lab coat and followed Merkley into the office.

Merkley Long is a thin man with fairly neat black hair and dark eyes.She is quite kind to others, not as aloof as Selene.

He patiently explained to Mo Qin what he needed to do currently.

"Because it is a top-secret project of the empire, the data and information stored in the optical brain will be deleted after each experiment. All that is left are these paper files, which have not been sorted out for a long time. If possible, I hope you can Help destroy the experimental data that needs to be completely deleted, and then sort out the remaining data in order."

This will be a huge project, but it will keep the interns from being idle for a long time, which just meets Professor Peel's requirements.

Mo Qin behaves like a newbie entering the workplace, full of passion for everything.

He said to Merkley particularly enthusiastically: "No problem, I can take care of it. Mr. Lang, if you have other work, you can leave it to me!"

Merkley expressed great praise for his work attitude.

In the laboratory, the sounds of various instruments and data entry were mingled.

Selene stared at the string of numerical results on the light screen, her handsome eyebrows furrowed.

Still didn't meet expectations.It seems that the situation still hasn't improved.

He felt a little frustrated.The thought that had appeared in my mind countless times in the past few days popped up again - if the mermaid heart is still there, maybe this problem can be solved soon.

Back then, after seeing the final form of the Mermaid Heart, Selene had no idea of ​​experimenting.

"Just find someone to let him eat it and see what the consequences will be."

He once thought so in his heart.

He is essentially a lunatic who studies mermaids, and will do anything to achieve his long-cherished wish.

For example, the king of the empire was used as a test subject, and he was asked to drink the tears of the mermaid to verify the authenticity of the legend.

Even if she loses the bet, Selene doesn't care.In his heart, the study of mermaids is more important than anything else.

But the mermaid heart is different. The note clearly states that the price of the mermaid heart is a curse.And there is only one heart, once it is used it is gone.

If someone really eats it, he will have nothing to study.

Between all-or-nothing and conservative research, he ultimately chose the latter.As a result, he didn't research anything in two years and let the royal family snatch it away.

If he could find a way to get the mermaid heart back, he might be able to come up with other research methods.

And now... isn't there someone related to the royal family?

The man's dark blue eyes flickered, like a wave in the ocean, fleeting.
