Chapter 72 Aquarium
When we returned to the aquarium, it was already dark.
The keys of both of them were handed over to Director Chu, so they had to go to the management department to retrieve the keys. The strange thing was that the mermaid house was very quiet that day. All the security guards have disappeared, and there are only people patrolling at the entrance of the aquarium.
The brighter the lights, the more silent and gloomy the Mermaid Pavilion is.
When I came to the management department on the second floor, I found that the door was closed long ago, and even the daily guards were not there.It's not a holiday, there's no reason for all the staff to take a holiday.Luo Jin frowned very puzzled, while Chu Qiu took advantage of his height to keep looking at the scene in the room.
"Do you think the key will still be with my dad?" There is really no way, Chu Qiu sighed and persuaded: "Otherwise forget it today, anyway, you have given away delicious food, so it is not too late to see you tonight. We Just come back tomorrow, it’s the same anyway, you haven’t left anything in the training hall, have you?”
"No, the main reason is that I didn't tell Nan Zhu that I would go out for so long..."
"Hey, why are you so pretentious? The mermaid is not stupid, isn't it higher than our IQ? If you don't go back, will he be waiting for you? Can't you take care of yourself?" Tsk tsk, after all, for Nan Zhu and Chu Qiu is envious of Luo Jin's harmonious relationship, but he will never admit it anyway.
"Otherwise you go back first, I'll just go to the mermaid hall and have a look." I really can't rest assured, Luo Jin always feels that Nan Zhu is not in the state today, maybe he loudly shouts outside, and the mermaid inside can hear it.
"Okay, okay, then I'll go to my dad's to have a look, and then I'll go to you, maybe I can get the key."
Impatiently, she pushed Luo Jin towards the stairs, and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, I don't want to spend too long here, and if I find the key, I'll take a look at our Ariel first."
"Then I'll wait for you at Nanzhu's side." Without wasting any time, Luo Jin waved her hand to say goodbye to Chu Qiu, and Luo Jin took brisk steps.Because the mermaid hall is considered the central location of the aquarium, it is very close to the curator's office and the management office is not far away. From the management office, you can quickly reach the mermaid taming office.
As always, walking through the various exhibition halls, the most convenient route is of course the one without tourists.
It's been a long time since I saw such a quiet aquarium. The sound of water filtering and flowing in the aquarium can be heard in such a quiet way, which unknowingly made Luo Jin relax, but on the contrary, her feet quickened her pace.
Always wearing the overalls of the aquarium, this is probably the second time that Luo Jin has appeared in front of Nan Zhu in the image of a private server.A simple white T-shirt is loosely worn on the body, and the black jeans are rolled up in advance to expose the ankles. The thicker fabric is not easy to dry, and I am always worried that I will be dragged into the sink by Nanzhu again.
Even though the door may not be able to open, Luo Jin is still getting ready habitually.
Finally came to the corridor of the domestication hall, saw the lights in the corridor brightly turned on from a distance, walked forward quickly and turned in, and found that the iron door that was locked before leaving was opened to the maximum extent.Dazed for a moment, Luo Jin's heart sank, and immediately strode up and ran to the training hall with the outer door wide open.
He remembered it very clearly, and when he left, he also checked it thoroughly, and clearly confirmed that the door was closed many times, and it was impossible to open the door of the museum that was locked several times.
Maybe it was because the negotiations on the conditions failed, and the child's parents came to make trouble and destroyed the door but still didn't go in.Panting heavily, he came to the door, but the password door was still closed.Seeing that there was no trace of damage on the iron door, Luo Jin couldn't care less, immediately entered her fingerprint to confirm the password, waited for the beep and pushed the door inward.
"Nan Zhu!"
Still out of breath, he called out anxiously, and as soon as he entered the venue, his eyes were fixed on the mermaid half propped on the ground, moving towards the pool.
Even in the dim light, Nan Zhu's hands were very weak, and he couldn't support his body with both hands.Turning on the overhead light in the arena backhanded, Luo Jin immediately rushed towards the direction of the mermaid.Originally, it was far away and could not see clearly without lights, but when I walked in, I found that the tough scales of the mermaid's tail had scratches, and even a few pieces fell off and lay on the slippery ground.
After running to the mermaid, I finally found out what the problem was - there was an injection inserted into the side of the mermaid away from me!
And this injection came from the aquarium, which was exactly the same as the one I carried with me.I don't know what happened in the afternoon when I left. As soon as Luo Jin was about to speak, she felt the sound of wind passing by her ears. She turned her head and looked at it without time to react. She only felt a dull pain in her neck, and her body moved forward uncontrollably. The double image on the screen was blurred, and it was pitch black again in an instant.
Turning his head, he saw a familiar face, but couldn't remember who it was.All the pictures in front of him were slowed down, seeing the person holding a wooden stick turn towards him again, without the ability to dodge in time in a short time.
This time the stick hit the back of the head directly, rubbing it along the left cheek, and there was a burst of burning pain immediately. Luo Jin fell forward on the ground following the direction of the stick hitting, and fell heavily beside Nan Zhu, and then Can't stand up either.
His fingers trembled unconsciously, and his brain couldn't recover his thinking for a long time, only slowly matching the attacker's name.
——I didn't expect that Lu Que could be so frenzied. I didn't expect that I was tricked so easily. I didn't expect that after working hard, I still couldn't do anything about Nan Zhu's situation.
"Isn't it just that the door opened? It's really touching to see him lying here and rushing over with full concentration. Even if you hide deliberately, your awareness of prevention is not so weak, right?"
Lu Que pushed his glasses in distaste, threw the wooden stick aside, set up the tripod and video camera in a hidden position, then squatted down beside Luo Jin, and took out another stick from his pocket. Yao Yao waved in front of his eyes: "Are you so worried about this mermaid?"
I felt warm blood flowing down the left side of my face, but my eyes were still blurred.Luo Jin struggled to sit up, grabbed Lu Que's wrist, and tried to protect Nan Zhu in front of him, intending to take the potion from his hand, and wanted to delay some time for Chu Qiu to come over.
"How...how did you come in?" The movement was easily refuted, Luo Jin no longer made strenuous movements, but chose to slowly restore her ability to control her body.
The voice was intermittent and unsteady, dizzy and glaring at Lu Que, holding his hand tightly: "Why on earth are you holding on to Nanzhu like this, I... don't think you can sacrifice yourself to protect the mermaid people..."
"Oh? I didn't expect you to understand me so thoroughly. Seeing your cold look, I thought you would disdain to talk to a down-and-out scholar like me."
"Are you worthy of being called a scholar... I said that I used to work in a scientific research institute, and the current situation is hard to say..."
"Shut up! Don't make rash comments at a young age, what do you know?"
He grabbed the hair on the top of Luo Jin's head, dragged him abruptly, and dragged him in front of him. Seeing his defensive appearance, he laughed and said, "Are you delaying with me? Don't worry, don't be afraid. If I want to do something That little mermaid will never live to this day. The mermaid is indeed dangerous in the water, but on land... he is nothing."
"Also, it's your bad luck that you came here. You should have left to go home tomorrow afternoon, but who can blame you for coming back? How can mermaids be so attractive?"
Tsk-tsk twice, Lu Que pushed out most of the liquid medicine in the syringe, and then dragged Luo Jin aside: "I don't know how to kill people, but young man, I now think you are more troublesome than your companion. "
"Don't worry, I won't hurt the mermaid you want to protect. Humans cannot afford such a large dose of anesthetic, so I..."
"Are you waiting for someone if you haven't made a move?" Interrupting Lu Que's words, the double images in front of Luo Jin's eyes gradually resumed overlapping. Although the head was hit by gravity and the buzzing in his ears had not disappeared, he still accurately captured the sound. It came to the point of Lu Que's words: "I refused to cooperate, who did you find instead?"
"Yes... That's right, since you don't take the job, I have to find someone to replace it." There is no concealment, and there is no more to conceal the incident.
"You don't need to worry about these things. You might as well care about yourself when you have this time." Lu Que turned his hand over and grabbed Luo Jin's neckline with the other hand, and held the syringe steadily with his right hand. He said in a very professional manner: "Do you know what it feels like when an anesthetic hits your heart?"
"It's unbearable chest tightness, difficulty breathing, and it's not easy to recover. But I have reduced the dose, and I won't let you die easily."
"Ah, not necessarily in the future." With a cruel and terrible smile on his face, Lu Que flaunted the syringe in his hand, and was stopped a moment before inserting it into Luo Jin's chest: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt, you just have to watch it from the sidelines." That's young people."
"I, I just want to ask..." Luo Jin laughed lightly, without resisting, she just placed all her body weight on Lu Que's body, held the syringe with one free hand, and asked in a statement-positive tone: "No Do you know when Curator Chu will come?"
……
Going up the corridor, turning on and off the lights in the corridor, Chu Qiu was not in a hurry to get the key, he had long since disliked the appearance of Luo Jin and Nan Zhu being tired of being together all day long.
Compared with himself and Chi Wan, Luo Jin and Nan Zhu's combination is even more strange, how come these two are so harmonious when they stay together, and how Nan Zhu can understand Luo Jin's meaning.
Wanting to know what Luo Jin would yell at Nan Zhu at the door if she couldn't get the key, she quickened her pace together, took three steps and two steps up the steps, and immediately arrived at the door of the curator's office.With two light strokes habitually, the heavy wooden door shook strangely, and with a light push with his hand, the wooden door was pushed open like this.
"dad?"
He shouted in doubt, but naturally no one responded.
The office was pitch black, Chu Qiu skillfully reached out to turn on the light, and quietly entered the empty office.On weekdays, there is a clear distinction between work and family, and curator Chu does not allow Chu Qiu to enter at all. Walking in in the dark always feels like a thief.
Anyway, the entire aquarium was too quiet today, stepped in, sat at the desk, and opened the drawer where Director Chu usually kept important items. "You actually left your phone here..." Talking to himself, he flipped through the phone in his hands and then put it down in boredom. Chu Qiu got up and left the office.
Of course, he also took the key of the management department.
I quickly came to the management department, but I didn't see the usual set of keys, only two sets of spare keys were left. I carefully put the two keys into my pocket, and immediately backed out, looked around and left.
"It's like a thief..." I curled my lips, thinking that I haven't stayed in the aquarium so late, except for the first "training", and I haven't seen Akara after dark, my heart is out of control Increased the frequency of beating, and suddenly lost interest in rectifying Luo Jin.
Walking to the training hall, the most impressive thing seems to be when I helped the mermaid change into the specially prepared 'performance costume' at the beginning of the training.
Mermaids are different from humans. They have long been used to being naked. For performances, the plump breasts of female mermaids must be covered in front of tourists. This difficult task is naturally placed on the trainers. .Even though this task has been carried out for nearly three years, just thinking about that soft existence... Chu Qiu couldn't stop blushing and heartbeat every time.
He coughed lightly for his own thoughts, and soon came to the vicinity of the domestication hall. Just as he was about to turn around and turn into the aisle on the side of the password door, he felt a figure shaking not far away.
"Hey! Who, stop!" Without even thinking about it, he yelled out, and the blurry figure fled in response. Seeing this posture, Chu Qiu immediately ran after him with long legs.Taking advantage of his height and physique, Young Master Chu has never been afraid of anyone since he was a child, and there are few people he can't afford to provoke.
After running for a few steps after a long period of good exercise, he caught the man, twisted his arm and turned behind him. Young Master Chu, who was very good at catching, let go of his hand in cold sweat amidst a muffled groan from his subordinates.
"...Dad...Dad? Why...it's you..."
"Hmph." With a cold snort, Director Chu, who was regarded as a thief, stretched his twisted arm over and over again, and a familiar word Sichuan was erected between his brows. After his true face was discovered, his face immediately darkened.
"It's so late, why are you back?" With a serious look like always, Chu Qiu was so startled that he habitually hid his voice, and after a long silence, he slowly said, "I... it's Xiaojin who wants to come back. He left something behind. This is not the way Well... just come in and wait for him." Afraid of being scolded by his father, he habitually shifted this responsibility to Luo Jin, Chu Qiu reached out and wiped his nose anxiously.
"Leave as soon as you finish taking your things. Who allows you to come in and wander around at such a late hour?"
"When you have the key, you can't come in... I've always been a boss who expects employees to work overtime, and I've never seen you like this..." Chu Qiu murmured in response, and took a step back before Director Chu asked again: "Then I'll go Look for Xiao Jin, he has gone to Nan Zhu's place, I will give him the key first."
"stop!"
After dragging Chu Qiu back, curator Chu said with cold sweat on his forehead, "Call Xiao Jin over first, and get the things tomorrow, and go back today first."
"Why, why?" Turning back and stopping, even though his father still had no emphatic, flat or even rigid baritone in his usual voice, Chu Qiu still noticed that his attitude was a little different, and it was indescribably weird.
"Why haven't you gone back so late today? Is there no security in the mermaid hall... What are you doing wandering around here at Chiwan?" Chu Qiu felt that the word "sneaky" was not suitable for this man. I had to pause and change a word.
"Also, what did you run for just now? Anyway, this is your aquarium. Could it be...Dad, what are you going to do?"
I feel more and more that my father's behavior is unusual. On weekdays, even the badges pinned to the chest by the staff of the aquarium are bothersome, but today not only the badges, but even the work permits are neatly placed on the chest.
"What, I'm starting to take care of you? I'll call Xiaojin first and let him come out." Patting Chu Qiu on the shoulder, Director Chu didn't show any difference because of his guess, but walked to the other side on his own , Habitually wanting to take out the phone, the smooth movement finally stopped at the moment he touched his pocket.
"You... didn't bring your mobile phone? I saw your mobile phone in the office... Then what's in your pocket?"
Things were going in a more and more strange direction. Chu Qiu didn't know why, but his heart beat faster, and regardless of Curator Chu's objection, he reached out and grabbed it. What he took out made his heart feel cold instantly.
——Three launcher injections full.
"What are you doing with this? Dad, you don't raise mermaids. Why do you take this out at night? You... ha, are you going to commit a crime? Or do you think life is too ordinary?"
"Chu Qiu, calm down, and return the things to me." Curator Chu frowned even more when he saw that the things he had kept in his possession were found out, but he still put on an air of an elder, and ordered solemnly, "Give it to me. "
"What are you doing here at the training hall? Didn't the NO.15 mermaid leave? The time has been shortened so much. You, are you going to ask the people in the scientific research institute to deal with the mermaid? What is the medicine here? It's an anesthetic Or a poison potion for euthanasia? There are so many, the mermaid will die!"
"Chu Qiu!"
Seriously yelling, the weather-beaten face had already imprinted an indelible majesty in Chu Qiu's heart, and he was still angry and closed his mouth, Chu Qiu panted heavily and stared straight at the past. "It turns out that you already knew it... Also, with your personality and skills, sooner or later you will be curious about the '25' deadline of the mermaid."
"Know what, I don't know."
Realizing that he accidentally disclosed the news, Chu Qiu was slightly stunned and immediately began to refute, but finally gave up and questioned: "Then... what do you mean by what you said? Could it be that Lu Que went to look for you, Dad, What are you going to do?"
"At first I thought that Lu Que had disappeared, but I didn't expect that his plan hadn't changed, he just changed his candidate. And seeing the deserted look of the aquarium, Dad, what do you think? You just agreed?" It's unbelievable Looking at his father, he was clearly the most reliable man in his memory, but he agreed to such a childish condition, naively putting all the responsibility on himself.
"Chu Qiu, things are not what you think, dad is just..."
"Have you considered how to deal with the aftermath after the matter is over? Why didn't I see that you are such a generous person? According to Lu Que's intention, hype up the matter and let the public know the so-called whereabouts of the mermaid. This will affect your image and the ocean. How can you not know how much it affects the image of the museum?"
"I... If you go to prison, what will I do? You are my father, aren't you the most reliable?"
Wanting to calm down Chu Qiu's emotions but didn't know how to speak, curator Chu said helplessly: "Then you also know what the experience of the mermaid will be after. To be honest, I didn't know about this before, I just tried my best. I can protect the mermaids who are involved in the human world, as for their whereabouts, I really have no way of knowing."
"I thought I gave them the best protection, but I only found out two days ago how they died tragically..."
"My son is too lazy to take care of me, and I still have time to take care of other things? Why didn't I see that you are so self-sacrificing?" Biting his lips angrily, this man told himself what to do before he started this job.It is justifiable for me and Luo Jin to get along with the mermaid day and night, have unspeakable feelings, make sacrifices, and try hard, so why is this person overflowing with sympathy?
"I'm probably just repenting and making up for it." Taking off his glasses and rubbing his sore eyes, Curator Chu said slowly, "Perhaps it's all my fault that the mermaid's current living conditions are all my fault. It's just my own efforts to let them go back to the sea."
"what?"
"The living mermaid discovered by tourists 50 years ago died not long after. The mermaid that was first sent to the scientific research institute was... about 35 years ago."
"Just like the Jataka story of Nine Color Deer, I am the bastard who was rescued by the mermaid and then captured the mermaid. That is also the first mermaid sent to the research institute for research."
The face of the middle-aged man is full of vicissitudes, his words are trembling intermittently, digging out the bloody past in his heart in front of his descendants: "My first pot of gold in starting a business was to rely on that mermaid, otherwise... it would be really difficult Get away from the little fishing village."
"Dad..." Seeing the man's shoulders tremble, although Chu Qiu didn't want to believe this fact, he stepped forward to caress the man's back sadly.
"I thought mermaids were just ordinary creatures. Over the years, I kept persuading myself, but no matter what, I couldn't forget the wounds from the mermaid's resistance when they were taken away, and the seawater was full of blood... and His curse-like... eyes."
After learning about this incident, Chu Qiu had nothing to say. Since he grew up in affluent conditions since he was a child, he has no way of knowing the hardships of his father when he was young.
Seeing the man sliding down the wall and burying his face between his palms, he felt extremely uneasy. "I know that it would not be easy for animals to be studied, but I thought at the time that mermaids are so human-like... If Mr. Lu hadn't told me, I really didn't know it would be like this..."
"After the business grew, I became more and more uneasy, and I could no longer correct the mistakes... Maybe I can make up for it. I opened this aquarium, and then by that wrong chance, I got in touch with the scientific research institute. With this relationship, That's how the current mermaid domestication came about. I didn't expect that the self-righteous compensation turned out to be this kind of result... After knowing the secret of 25, I felt more and more that the mermaid could understand what I said back then. I thought... It really was my fault."
"Dad, don't talk about it anymore...you can make up for it now, can't you?" Seeing that his father was on the verge of collapse, Chu Qiu was very at a loss, and quickly said, "I'll go find Xiao Jin, we already have a plan, as long as the... Since there are few people today...you don't want Lu Que to come over today, do you?"
Standing up abruptly, she thought of the two missing keys, curator Chu only had one here, and the other one must be in Lu Quying's place.
Maybe the other party couldn't hold back and started to act. Thinking of this, Chu Qiu immediately turned and ran to the training place where Nanzhu was on the other side.
"Chu Qiu!" With a call, Director Chu stood up while leaning on the wall, and Chu Qiu had already turned into the aisle.
The keys of both of them were handed over to Director Chu, so they had to go to the management department to retrieve the keys. The strange thing was that the mermaid house was very quiet that day. All the security guards have disappeared, and there are only people patrolling at the entrance of the aquarium.
The brighter the lights, the more silent and gloomy the Mermaid Pavilion is.

"Do you think the key will still be with my dad?" There is really no way, Chu Qiu sighed and persuaded: "Otherwise forget it today, anyway, you have given away delicious food, so it is not too late to see you tonight. We Just come back tomorrow, it’s the same anyway, you haven’t left anything in the training hall, have you?”
"No, the main reason is that I didn't tell Nan Zhu that I would go out for so long..."
"Hey, why are you so pretentious? The mermaid is not stupid, isn't it higher than our IQ? If you don't go back, will he be waiting for you? Can't you take care of yourself?" Tsk tsk, after all, for Nan Zhu and Chu Qiu is envious of Luo Jin's harmonious relationship, but he will never admit it anyway.
"Otherwise you go back first, I'll just go to the mermaid hall and have a look." I really can't rest assured, Luo Jin always feels that Nan Zhu is not in the state today, maybe he loudly shouts outside, and the mermaid inside can hear it.
"Okay, okay, then I'll go to my dad's to have a look, and then I'll go to you, maybe I can get the key."
Impatiently, she pushed Luo Jin towards the stairs, and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, I don't want to spend too long here, and if I find the key, I'll take a look at our Ariel first."
"Then I'll wait for you at Nanzhu's side." Without wasting any time, Luo Jin waved her hand to say goodbye to Chu Qiu, and Luo Jin took brisk steps.Because the mermaid hall is considered the central location of the aquarium, it is very close to the curator's office and the management office is not far away. From the management office, you can quickly reach the mermaid taming office.

The thicker fabric is not easy to dry, and I am always worried that I will be dragged into the sink by Nanzhu again.
Even though the door may not be able to open, Luo Jin is still getting ready habitually.
Finally came to the corridor of the domestication hall, saw the lights in the corridor brightly turned on from a distance, walked forward quickly and turned in, and found that the iron door that was locked before leaving was opened to the maximum extent.Dazed for a moment, Luo Jin's heart sank, and immediately strode up and ran to the training hall with the outer door wide open.
He remembered it very clearly, and when he left, he also checked it thoroughly, and clearly confirmed that the door was closed many times, and it was impossible to open the door of the museum that was locked several times.
Maybe it was because the negotiations on the conditions failed, and the child's parents came to make trouble and destroyed the door but still didn't go in.Panting heavily, he came to the door, but the password door was still closed.Seeing that there was no trace of damage on the iron door, Luo Jin couldn't care less, immediately entered her fingerprint to confirm the password, waited for the beep and pushed the door inward.

"Isn't it just that the door opened? It's really touching to see him lying here and rushing over with full concentration. Even if you hide deliberately, your awareness of prevention is not so weak, right?"
Lu Que pushed his glasses in distaste, threw the wooden stick aside, set up the tripod and video camera in a hidden position, then squatted down beside Luo Jin, and took out another stick from his pocket. Yao Yao waved in front of his eyes: "Are you so worried about this mermaid?"
I felt warm blood flowing down the left side of my face, but my eyes were still blurred.Luo Jin struggled to sit up, grabbed Lu Que's wrist, and tried to protect Nan Zhu in front of him, intending to take the potion from his hand, and wanted to delay some time for Chu Qiu to come over.
"How...how did you come in?" The movement was easily refuted, Luo Jin no longer made strenuous movements, but chose to slowly restore her ability to control her body.
The voice was intermittent and unsteady, dizzy and glaring at Lu Que, holding his hand tightly: "Why on earth are you holding on to Nanzhu like this, I... don't think you can sacrifice yourself to protect the mermaid people..."
"Oh? I didn't expect you to understand me so thoroughly. Seeing your cold look, I thought you would disdain to talk to a down-and-out scholar like me."

Lu Que turned his hand over and grabbed Luo Jin's neckline with the other hand, and held the syringe steadily with his right hand. He said in a very professional manner: "Do you know what it feels like when an anesthetic hits your heart?"
"It's unbearable chest tightness, difficulty breathing, and it's not easy to recover. But I have reduced the dose, and I won't let you die easily."
"Ah, not necessarily in the future." With a cruel and terrible smile on his face, Lu Que flaunted the syringe in his hand, and was stopped a moment before inserting it into Luo Jin's chest: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt, you just have to watch it from the sidelines." That's young people."
"I, I just want to ask..." Luo Jin laughed lightly, without resisting, she just placed all her body weight on Lu Que's body, held the syringe with one free hand, and asked in a statement-positive tone: "No Do you know when Curator Chu will come?"
……
Going up the corridor, turning on and off the lights in the corridor, Chu Qiu was not in a hurry to get the key, he had long since disliked the appearance of Luo Jin and Nan Zhu being tired of being together all day long.
Compared with himself and Chi Wan, Luo Jin and Nan Zhu's combination is even more strange, how come these two are so harmonious when they stay together, and how Nan Zhu can understand Luo Jin's meaning.
Wanting to know what Luo Jin would yell at Nan Zhu at the door if she couldn't get the key, she quickened her pace together, took three steps and two steps up the steps, and immediately arrived at the door of the curator's office.With two light strokes habitually, the heavy wooden door shook strangely, and with a light push with his hand, the wooden door was pushed open like this.
"dad?"
He shouted in doubt, but naturally no one responded.
The office was pitch black, Chu Qiu skillfully reached out to turn on the light, and quietly entered the empty office.On weekdays, there is a clear distinction between work and family, and curator Chu does not allow Chu Qiu to enter at all. Walking in in the dark always feels like a thief.
Anyway, the entire aquarium was too quiet today, stepped in, sat at the desk, and opened the drawer where Director Chu usually kept important items. "You actually left your phone here..." Talking to himself, he flipped through the phone in his hands and then put it down in boredom. Chu Qiu got up and left the office.
Of course, he also took the key of the management department.
I quickly came to the management department, but I didn't see the usual set of keys, only two sets of spare keys were left. I carefully put the two keys into my pocket, and immediately backed out, looked around and left.
"It's like a thief..." I curled my lips, thinking that I haven't stayed in the aquarium so late, except for the first "training", and I haven't seen Akara after dark, my heart is out of control Increased the frequency of beating, and suddenly lost interest in rectifying Luo Jin.
Walking to the training hall, the most impressive thing seems to be when I helped the mermaid change into the specially prepared 'performance costume' at the beginning of the training.
Mermaids are different from humans. They have long been used to being naked. For performances, the plump breasts of female mermaids must be covered in front of tourists. This difficult task is naturally placed on the trainers. .Even though this task has been carried out for nearly three years, just thinking about that soft existence... Chu Qiu couldn't stop blushing and heartbeat every time.
He coughed lightly for his own thoughts, and soon came to the vicinity of the domestication hall. Just as he was about to turn around and turn into the aisle on the side of the password door, he felt a figure shaking not far away.
"Hey! Who, stop!" Without even thinking about it, he yelled out, and the blurry figure fled in response. Seeing this posture, Chu Qiu immediately ran after him with long legs.Taking advantage of his height and physique, Young Master Chu has never been afraid of anyone since he was a child, and there are few people he can't afford to provoke.
After running for a few steps after a long period of good exercise, he caught the man, twisted his arm and turned behind him. Young Master Chu, who was very good at catching, let go of his hand in cold sweat amidst a muffled groan from his subordinates.
"...Dad...Dad? Why...it's you..."
"Hmph." With a cold snort, Director Chu, who was regarded as a thief, stretched his twisted arm over and over again, and a familiar word Sichuan was erected between his brows. After his true face was discovered, his face immediately darkened.
"It's so late, why are you back?" With a serious look like always, Chu Qiu was so startled that he habitually hid his voice, and after a long silence, he slowly said, "I... it's Xiaojin who wants to come back. He left something behind. This is not the way Well... just come in and wait for him." Afraid of being scolded by his father, he habitually shifted this responsibility to Luo Jin, Chu Qiu reached out and wiped his nose anxiously.
"Leave as soon as you finish taking your things. Who allows you to come in and wander around at such a late hour?"
"When you have the key, you can't come in... I've always been a boss who expects employees to work overtime, and I've never seen you like this..." Chu Qiu murmured in response, and took a step back before Director Chu asked again: "Then I'll go Look for Xiao Jin, he has gone to Nan Zhu's place, I will give him the key first."
"stop!"
After dragging Chu Qiu back, curator Chu said with cold sweat on his forehead, "Call Xiao Jin over first, and get the things tomorrow, and go back today first."
"Why, why?" Turning back and stopping, even though his father still had no emphatic, flat or even rigid baritone in his usual voice, Chu Qiu still noticed that his attitude was a little different, and it was indescribably weird.
"Why haven't you gone back so late today? Is there no security in the mermaid hall... What are you doing wandering around here at Chiwan?" Chu Qiu felt that the word "sneaky" was not suitable for this man. I had to pause and change a word.
"Also, what did you run for just now? Anyway, this is your aquarium. Could it be...Dad, what are you going to do?"
I feel more and more that my father's behavior is unusual. On weekdays, even the badges pinned to the chest by the staff of the aquarium are bothersome, but today not only the badges, but even the work permits are neatly placed on the chest.
"What, I'm starting to take care of you? I'll call Xiaojin first and let him come out." Patting Chu Qiu on the shoulder, Director Chu didn't show any difference because of his guess, but walked to the other side on his own , Habitually wanting to take out the phone, the smooth movement finally stopped at the moment he touched his pocket.
"You... didn't bring your mobile phone? I saw your mobile phone in the office... Then what's in your pocket?"
Things were going in a more and more strange direction. Chu Qiu didn't know why, but his heart beat faster, and regardless of Curator Chu's objection, he reached out and grabbed it. What he took out made his heart feel cold instantly.
——Three launcher injections full.
"What are you doing with this? Dad, you don't raise mermaids. Why do you take this out at night? You... ha, are you going to commit a crime? Or do you think life is too ordinary?"
"Chu Qiu, calm down, and return the things to me." Curator Chu frowned even more when he saw that the things he had kept in his possession were found out, but he still put on an air of an elder, and ordered solemnly, "Give it to me. "
"What are you doing here at the training hall? Didn't the NO.15 mermaid leave? The time has been shortened so much. You, are you going to ask the people in the scientific research institute to deal with the mermaid? What is the medicine here? It's an anesthetic Or a poison potion for euthanasia? There are so many, the mermaid will die!"
"Chu Qiu!"
Seriously yelling, the weather-beaten face had already imprinted an indelible majesty in Chu Qiu's heart, and he was still angry and closed his mouth, Chu Qiu panted heavily and stared straight at the past. "It turns out that you already knew it... Also, with your personality and skills, sooner or later you will be curious about the '25' deadline of the mermaid."
"Know what, I don't know."
Realizing that he accidentally disclosed the news, Chu Qiu was slightly stunned and immediately began to refute, but finally gave up and questioned: "Then... what do you mean by what you said? Could it be that Lu Que went to look for you, Dad, What are you going to do?"
"At first I thought that Lu Que had disappeared, but I didn't expect that his plan hadn't changed, he just changed his candidate. And seeing the deserted look of the aquarium, Dad, what do you think? You just agreed?" It's unbelievable Looking at his father, he was clearly the most reliable man in his memory, but he agreed to such a childish condition, naively putting all the responsibility on himself.
"Chu Qiu, things are not what you think, dad is just..."
"Have you considered how to deal with the aftermath after the matter is over? Why didn't I see that you are such a generous person? According to Lu Que's intention, hype up the matter and let the public know the so-called whereabouts of the mermaid. This will affect your image and the ocean. How can you not know how much it affects the image of the museum?"
"I... If you go to prison, what will I do? You are my father, aren't you the most reliable?"
Wanting to calm down Chu Qiu's emotions but didn't know how to speak, curator Chu said helplessly: "Then you also know what the experience of the mermaid will be after. To be honest, I didn't know about this before, I just tried my best. I can protect the mermaids who are involved in the human world, as for their whereabouts, I really have no way of knowing."
"I thought I gave them the best protection, but I only found out two days ago how they died tragically..."
"My son is too lazy to take care of me, and I still have time to take care of other things? Why didn't I see that you are so self-sacrificing?" Biting his lips angrily, this man told himself what to do before he started this job.It is justifiable for me and Luo Jin to get along with the mermaid day and night, have unspeakable feelings, make sacrifices, and try hard, so why is this person overflowing with sympathy?
"I'm probably just repenting and making up for it." Taking off his glasses and rubbing his sore eyes, Curator Chu said slowly, "Perhaps it's all my fault that the mermaid's current living conditions are all my fault. It's just my own efforts to let them go back to the sea."
"what?"
"The living mermaid discovered by tourists 50 years ago died not long after. The mermaid that was first sent to the scientific research institute was... about 35 years ago."
"Just like the Jataka story of Nine Color Deer, I am the bastard who was rescued by the mermaid and then captured the mermaid. That is also the first mermaid sent to the research institute for research."
The face of the middle-aged man is full of vicissitudes, his words are trembling intermittently, digging out the bloody past in his heart in front of his descendants: "My first pot of gold in starting a business was to rely on that mermaid, otherwise... it would be really difficult Get away from the little fishing village."
"Dad..." Seeing the man's shoulders tremble, although Chu Qiu didn't want to believe this fact, he stepped forward to caress the man's back sadly.
"I thought mermaids were just ordinary creatures. Over the years, I kept persuading myself, but no matter what, I couldn't forget the wounds from the mermaid's resistance when they were taken away, and the seawater was full of blood... and His curse-like... eyes."
After learning about this incident, Chu Qiu had nothing to say. Since he grew up in affluent conditions since he was a child, he has no way of knowing the hardships of his father when he was young.
Seeing the man sliding down the wall and burying his face between his palms, he felt extremely uneasy. "I know that it would not be easy for animals to be studied, but I thought at the time that mermaids are so human-like... If Mr. Lu hadn't told me, I really didn't know it would be like this..."
"After the business grew, I became more and more uneasy, and I could no longer correct the mistakes... Maybe I can make up for it. I opened this aquarium, and then by that wrong chance, I got in touch with the scientific research institute. With this relationship, That's how the current mermaid domestication came about. I didn't expect that the self-righteous compensation turned out to be this kind of result... After knowing the secret of 25, I felt more and more that the mermaid could understand what I said back then. I thought... It really was my fault."
"Dad, don't talk about it anymore...you can make up for it now, can't you?" Seeing that his father was on the verge of collapse, Chu Qiu was very at a loss, and quickly said, "I'll go find Xiao Jin, we already have a plan, as long as the... Since there are few people today...you don't want Lu Que to come over today, do you?"
Standing up abruptly, she thought of the two missing keys, curator Chu only had one here, and the other one must be in Lu Quying's place.
Maybe the other party couldn't hold back and started to act. Thinking of this, Chu Qiu immediately turned and ran to the training place where Nanzhu was on the other side.
"Chu Qiu!" With a call, Director Chu stood up while leaning on the wall, and Chu Qiu had already turned into the aisle.
