Mermaid Lord

Chapter 42: Portrait

Just as we were about to turn back, I suddenly felt a strong unknown aura, and I immediately jumped away guardedly holding Shi.

Unexpectedly, the source of the breath turned out to be Adrian.

He was still sitting high on the throne, but I saw his body leaning forward, his trembling hands clenched tightly on the armrests, his facial lines were tense, and he seemed to want to leave the throne and come to us, but the dignity of the emperor forced him He remained calm.

"Young man, you have the aura of Abbott on your body. Where is he...?" Adrian's voice sounded a little trembling, as if he was trying to suppress some of his emotions.

I frowned and thought about it, making sure I had never heard the name Abbott before: "I'm sorry, I don't know who you're talking about."

Adrian's lips were tightly pursed, which made him look more serious. He waved to the subordinate officers standing beside him, and the two subordinate officers went down. After a few minutes, one of them An official held a roll of paper with both hands straight.

Adrian pointed to the roll of paper and said, "This is a portrait of Abbott, open it."

The portrait was instantly displayed in front of me.

I was shocked immediately.

I dare to swear, I have never been so surprised. Although I have maintained a consistent expression on my face based on experience, I dare say that my surprised eyes must have betrayed me now.

Yes, I am too familiar with the mermaid in this portrait. I am so familiar with him that he will appear alive in my nightmares, stretch out his bloody hand to me, and ask me ferociously, why not save him, why!

This mermaid named Abbot is exactly the deep-sea mermaid that was dissected in the research institute!

"You really know him!"

"Back!" The sound of the scepter hitting the ground fell, and Adrian stood up. He pointed the scepter sharply at me and asked, "Where is he!"

I really don't like this kind of situation where people point their noses and ask questions. Shi seemed to understand my thoughts, and immediately stood in front of me, babbling and shaking his head at Adrian.

Adrian seemed to be restraining his anger, he slowly put down the scepter, but his gaze was still as sharp as a blade.

"Before I tell where he is, who is he?" I asked, looking directly at Adrian.

"He is my dear brother. He disappeared after the last sacrifice. I have been looking for him."

I was taken aback for a moment, I didn't expect Abbot to be the leader's younger brother, fate really played a trick on me.

I sighed. Now that the matter has come to this point, I don't think there is any need to hide it, otherwise it will only deepen the misunderstanding between the two parties.

"Sorry, although this is an ending that everyone does not want, but unfortunately, he died, and died in the research institute."

"What did you say!"

A strong murderous intent suddenly erupted. Facing Adrian's furious face, I tried my best to keep myself calm, and told him those unbearable memories.

Of course, I didn't tell Adrian about my spirit-sharing ability, but only vaguely told him that I saw Abbot's death through someone else's memory, and out of humanitarianism, I only said that Abbott died in a test accident, He didn't tell him the real cause of Abbott's death, after all, it was too cruel.

But partially concealing it does not mean that Adrian will be relieved because of this. He was even more angry, and the scepter pointed at me again: "Human, you are lying! Your insincere eyes exposed your lie, you can't hide it from Sea God Eye!"

I don't intend to debate with him whether my words are lies or the truth. After all, lies are the most acceptable answer to him. Since I decided to hide it, I will definitely hide it to the end.

Just as I remained silent, another subordinate officer hurried back with two things in his hands: "Chief, I found this in this man's room!"

Oh God, this is just adding fuel to the fire.

Yes, what the officer brought was nothing but Abbot's long hair and eyeballs that I snatched back from the research institute.

Deep-sea mermaids live in groups, and their bonds with their companions are quite deep, so their sense of smell of their companions is twice as strong as other mermaids.After receiving these two human tissues, Adrian naturally smelled Abbot's breath.

"Human, you killed Abbott!"

"I haven't," I answered him calmly. "The truth is what you hear."

Adrian pointed to Abbott's "relics": "Then how do you explain these!"

"I snatched these from the staff of the institute, and they are planning to make them into specimens."

"Lie! Your eyes are full of deceit. Do you have evidence to prove the truth of what you said!"

"Unfortunately, no."

"Then, you are the murderer!"

At the same time as the roar sounded, a blue light shot out from the top of the scepter. Before I could react, a blue figure stood in front of me...

"Yeah!"

"release!"

The light hit Shi's abdomen!

He flew out under the powerful impact and fell heavily to the ground.

"My God, little one!"

Thomason yelled in surprise, and was about to pass, I immediately ran towards Shi, but——

"Who dares to go over!" As soon as Adrian's shocking voice fell, the guards standing on both sides immediately stretched out sharp spears to us, preventing us from taking a step forward.

We stop at the same time.

Thomason looked anxiously at Shi, sweating profusely, while I coldly squinted at the tip of the gun that was almost reaching my neck.

"Sha, Sha..." A low panting sound came from Shi's direction, I raised my eyes to look over, bad, something is wrong with Shi.

He was still lying on the ground, but his body was getting bigger and bigger. The two sides of the bottom of the fish tail were light silver, and there were two gaps. Something was about to come out of the gaps, and his tail was slowly coloring. Slowly fade, fade.

Hell, he is transforming into a dark mermaid, which will reveal that he is not a deep sea mermaid.

In times of crisis like this, his exposure would bring him danger.

"Shi, don't move around, I'll go right away!"

"Who dares to go there! Protecting a murderer is equivalent to a capital crime!" Adrian's deterrent roar stopped, and the guard's gun stretched forward a few centimeters, just right on my neck.

"Oh," I smiled coldly, looking down at the cold things on my neck, "I want to go there..."

"Who dares to stop me!" High-temperature flames erupted from my whole body, and the violent flame shock wave centered on me and oscillated in all directions. All the guards were immediately shocked ten meters away.Under the propelling force of the flames in my hands, I immediately broke out of the encirclement to Shi's side, and hugged him up.

Fortunately, Shi fell in the corner, and no one seemed to notice Shi's change.

"Shi, are you alright?"

Probably because of my voice, Shi’s body changes stopped, and his hideous face gradually returned to its original shape. He blinked and looked at me, then suddenly hugged me, rubbed his belly and cried loudly: “Sars, Sar Erles, thu t t t t t .”

"Does it mean that your abdomen hurts? Show me." I looked down at his abdomen. On the surface, there was no major wound there, but it was a little red, but I didn't know if there was any internal injury. "Thomasson, can you help?" Look at him, he seems to be in pain."

I looked nervously at Thomason, who hesitated to look at Adrian who was still in a state of anger, sighed and said "sorry", and trotted over to check on Shi.

"Take them down." Adrian ordered sharply, and the guards who were shaken away surrounded him again. I replied coldly without any expression: "Don't worry, I will not run away. Regarding the matter of Abbott, I have always Stick to my statement, you can choose not to believe it, but if you think that in front of so many people, asserting that I am a murderer without evidence is the most satisfying way for you, you can kill me Me, of course, the premise is that you..." I raised my head, looked straight into Adrian's eyes coldly, and said word by word, "You can kill me."

"Kara," I heard Adrian clenching his fist.

When the atmosphere was tense, Thomason's diagnosis was over: "Don't worry, he's fine. The leader didn't hit hard. The mermaid's superb healing ability can restore the little guy to a normal state in a short period of time."

"Thank you for your help."

Thomason breathed a sigh of relief and wiped off the hot sweat on his head: "Saving people is the bounden duty of a doctor. You don't need to thank me, but I just hope that this situation will not happen again next time. I am old and my heart can't stand this. kind of stimulation."

Shi probably couldn't stand the pain, and fell into a coma, and was lying quietly in my arms. I touched his head and nodded to Thomason.

"Leader, I know you are very sad, but please allow me to say that there is no evidence to prove that Sals killed your brother, besides, Sals is the benefactor of our clan..."

Thomason was interrupted before finishing his sentence.

"I know."

I thought that Adrian would say some threatening words for the leader's face, but unexpectedly, he probably calmed down and said: "I was impulsive, you know, how much Abbott means to me!" Important, I can't accept the news of Abbott's death for a while. You take the little guy down to heal your wounds," he turned to me and said, "As for you, I will temporarily put you under house arrest. If you are really innocent, I will personally apologize to you , but if you are really the murderer of Abbott, I..."

"You don't need to do it yourself. If I am really a murderer, I will commit suicide and apologize." I interrupted Adrian.

"Don't be so absolute," Adrian turned coldly, turned his back to me and said, "In a way, you who knew that Abbot had an accident but didn't save him are also murderers. "

I was shocked.
