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

In order to preserve the mermaid meat and at least prevent it from deteriorating into something unusable like the mermaid heart, all the pieces of meat obtained from the mermaid are placed in the vacuum freezer at the deepest part of the laboratory.

The power and lights in the laboratory have been turned off, leaving only the instruments that need to operate 24 hours a day.

The refrigerated boxes containing mermaid meat were one of them. They were placed in rows in the small room at the end of the laboratory. Each one contained a piece of meat that still looked fresh.

Some unknown instrument inside the refrigerator emits an icy blue light, which looks particularly strange in the darkness without white light. Entering here is like entering an ice cellar.

Mo Qin followed the man's footsteps and walked between the rows of refrigerated boxes, looking around. Some of the pieces of meat placed inside had silver scales, some looked completely like human skin, and some were internal organs that had been washed clean of blood.Each cooler contains just one piece of meat, with a label indicating the source.

At the end of the cold room, Mo Qin also saw a whole row of mermaid blood preserved in test tubes.

All this flesh and blood was obtained by cutting off his flesh and blood bit by bit.It is unimaginable that if he had not lost most of his senses at that time, he would have endured even greater torture.

And these things have been carefully kept by humans as experimental products, and they are piled up in the entire room.

Thinking of this, Mo Qin's heart felt like it was being burned by a burning flame.The flame of hatred was burning brightly, and even though he was in a cold environment, he felt that his body was hot from the inside out.

"Everything here is stuff taken from the mermaid. Look, this is his tail fin. It's more beautiful than the most beautiful fish in the ocean, isn't it?" Selene stood in front of a refrigerator. For the first time, a look similar to infatuation appeared in his eyes.

All of this was seen by Mo Qin.He looked coldly at the man not far away, watching the intoxicated and joyful expression on his face as he looked at the meat cut out of his body.

It seems that what is in front of you is not the body of a living being, but the magnificent wonders of nature.

Mo Qin suddenly recalled that the man had the same expression on his face when he mercilessly dug out his heart.

The green algae-colored eyes flickered coldly under the ice-blue light, and then asked:

"Professor, actually I have another question that I haven't asked yet. I once heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mention that the mermaid seems to be able to talk. So does it have a name?"

Selene paused slightly, then turned her head to look at him, her dark blue eyes as deep as the sea reflected the other person's dark figure in the darkness, and asked in an indifferent tone: "Do you really want to know so much?"

Mo Qin nodded slightly.

Selene turned to look at the mermaid meat in the refrigerator again. For some reason, her expression seemed to be a little irritated:

"He has a name. His name is Moqin."

Hearing his name being called out by a man again, Mo Qin paused for a moment, calmly adjusted and said, "Ah, it sounds like a name from the North Continent. He swam from the other side of the ocean." Did you come here?"

"Maybe. But the Sea of ​​Shark's Tears is located deep in the ocean. Maybe all the mermaids live there." The man said casually.

He seemed to want to take someone out, but his steps stopped.He turned to the latter and said:

"Don't treat mermaids as equal creatures to humans just because they can talk or have names. It was General Mussel Harmans who almost ruined the entire research because he made this mistake. I don't want you to make the same mistake. .”

"Mermaids are mermaids, they are not human beings. If research on them can help the world progress, then death is also great." There was a firmness in his calm voice, as if what he did was the right thing and there was no need to regret it. matter.

After hearing this, Mo Qin almost wanted to laugh, but found that his throat was so dry that he could no longer make a sound.

"Death is great."Oh, feelings don’t require you to die, so they are great, right?Using other people's lives to obtain honors and awards for oneself, but speaking to the outside world with these high-sounding and righteous words.

In fact, it just doesn't touch one's own interests, so no matter what the cost, it can be disguised as a valuable sacrifice.

Self-deception and unforgivable!

"Okay, it's time to go out." Selene said softly, turned and walked towards the door.

The light in the room was so dark that he didn't notice that his junior, who had always admired him, was clenching his fists tightly at his side, as if he was restraining some monstrous anger.

After walking out of the refrigerator room, the two of them were silent the whole way.

It wasn't until she returned to the office that Selene tentatively asked, "How did you feel when you saw mermaid flesh for the first time?"

Mo Qin secretly took a deep breath, suppressed the boiling anger in his heart, and said calmly: "Mermaid meat is more beautiful than I imagined. It would be great if I have the opportunity to study it in the future."

Selene said: "You guessed it right, mermaid meat is indeed the cornerstone for us to break through the difficulties of regeneration technology. There are many substances in it that we don't know now and can't even extract. As long as you work well in the research institute, you will always be able to There will be opportunities for research one day.”

"However," he changed the topic and lowered his voice, making it a bit mysterious, "Studying mermaid flesh is only the second step. If you can study the secret of mermaid heart, you can get the key to eternal life."

Eternal life---what a grand goal, the answer that the human race has been pursuing for thousands of years.

The young man was stunned after hearing his words, as if he was shocked by this lofty ideal.

Then his eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't help but lower his voice and said: "So, Professor, has the research been completed?"

Selene shook her head, with some regret on her face: "I only studied the mermaid heart for two years at that time. You have also seen the picture of the mermaid heart I sent. In fact, it was just dug out of the mermaid body. It still looked like a heart, but soon after it was taken out, it began to shrink and dehydrate, turning into the shape of the sphere in the photo."

As he spoke, he said somewhat sadly: "After that, the surface of the Mermaid Heart began to become hard. With our current technology, it is impossible to scrape off any powder from it. Later, it was taken away by the royal family. I lost my research permission. .The Mermaid Heart has also become a collection of the royal family. Maybe it will be put on display in the palace one day. The sign below is marked with "Mermaid Heart", and people who don't know what is going on may think that it is just a heart called "Mermaid Heart". It’s just the gem of the mermaid’s heart.”

"You feel it's a pity too, right?" Selene's blue eyes looked at the young man aside, with just the right amount of expectation in her eyes, as if she was bewitched.

Mo Qin suddenly had a suspicion in his heart, and he probably guessed what the other party wanted him to do.

He calmly showed regret and said, "Yes, it's such a pity for such a good research opportunity."
