Mermaid Effect

Vol1

Caroline looked at Rand in the laboratory with a livid face. After speaking, the latter had been quietly waiting for her reply. His gentle attitude was simply disgusting.Caroline turned her head and nodded to a staff member, and they closed the observation wound.

Seen from Rand's vantage point, the transparent membrane turned mercury-colored again, and he was slightly confused—but only for a moment, and after a few minutes, he blinked blankly by the pool, and then Back to the corner he used as a bed.

"He won't feel any pain. Lady Caroline."

A researcher, perhaps having heard some nonsense message, seemed to mistook Caroline's stare at Rand as concern, and approached her flatteringly.

"Ha ha……"

Caroline grinned sarcastically.

But it is strange to say that Caroline always felt that she would feel relieved and happy after seeing Rand captured, but when she saw the carefree man, the resentment in her heart became stronger than before. thickened.Maybe even God stood behind that cowardly man, she thought, when everyone was suffering, Rand Sievers, who caused all these tragedies, stayed forever in that carefree man. when.

He escaped the pain and sorrow directly, because he had no memory of them at all...

Caroline saw the unusual places on Rand's body again, the scales and the gills behind the ears. The close-ups of those parts were being displayed on the screen on the wall, and several scientists were discussing and researching there.

In terms of appearance and ability, Rand has broken away from the human population, but he is indeed a human being genetically. That name, is Rand Sievers considered a human being or... a researcher of biology?Caroline thought to herself, and then couldn't help but speak to the researcher who loved to flatter her.

"Oh, that... Judging from the incident at the Emerald Station, I'm sorry that Mr. Rand Sievers can no longer be regarded as a member of the human race, especially when considering his various unique abilities and before he and The terrible consequences caused by the joint experiment of 7371... Ahem, we are working hard to negotiate with the Ministry of Defense, trying to classify Mr. Rand Sievers as a 'human', so that he can be exempted from many charges against experimental creatures Special test..."

The staff member talked endlessly as if he had received a great reward, but before he finished speaking, Caroline interrupted him directly.

"no need."

she says.

"What, what?"

"I said no," Caroline looked at the staff member with restless eyes and then said, "In my opinion, Rand Sievers is more suitable to live as an experimental creature," perhaps because of her The conclusion was too straightforward, and even the staff was taken aback. He stared at Caroline blankly, that kind of gaze was too explicit.After a moment of silence, Caroline added: "After all, the accident at Emerald Central Station was too serious. If Rand Sievers is defined as a 'human', I am afraid that neither the government nor the public will let him go. I believe that even he himself can't bear all this. And the most important thing is," Caroline looked at the excited crowd in the laboratory, and her sneer deepened little by little, "he is indeed very valuable for research, isn't he? ?"

"Yes, but..."

From a genetic point of view, Rand Sievers is indeed a human being and he has the inheritance rights of Vincent Sievers. If the Pentagon wants to cancel Vincent's identity, then Rand Sievers will take over Vinson The entire property, including Shenbai's shares...

Looking at Mr. "Sycophant" who was speechless, Caroline looked away indifferently.

She believes that it is not too difficult for Rand to change from "human" to "animal", especially after he has the right to inherit Vincent.For example, Anderson would not allow someone like Rand to become the major shareholder of the company. He climbed to that position with great difficulty, and he would never allow anyone to shake his position.

He will help her, obediently persuade the government to let them define Rand as an experimental animal, and only by becoming the latter, can the deep white staff conduct "radical" experiments on Rand.

Maybe, the research on Rand can wake Vincent up.

With this in mind, Caroline became more determined in her mind.

Vol2

Rand couldn't remember how many times he woke up from his sleep.

Every time he felt as if he had a very deep dream, so that after waking up, there would always be a period of time when his mind went blank.

He could feel some sense of dissonance, but that sense of disobedience always slipped away so fast that Rand could never figure out where the strange feeling came from.

He raised his head and looked at the wall, the wall here is always white, with a blue tone that makes people feel a little cold, and the white light will never go out, including when he sleeps, he used to be troubled by it... Maybe he should ask those "nurses", those lights are too disturbing to sleep... But Rand didn't know why he couldn't remember to say this.

He was almost unable to judge the passage of time... How long had he been here?

do not remember.

Why is he in this room?

do not remember.

What exactly does he need to do?

do not remember.

……

The days here are so constant, every time I wake up, the day is always a repeat of the previous day.

Even Rand, who was always forgetful due to brain damage, was gradually affected by this situation. He became depressed and silent and a little worried-even if he didn't know what he was worrying about.

However, after being awakened today, Rand instinctively felt that this day was different from many days before.

He didn't know why he felt this way, it seemed like a premonition, or some insignificant particles in the exhaust fan were blown into his "ward" along the transparent air-conditioning wind.

Rand could smell the special, tense atmosphere in the air: when people are tense, they will sweat unknowingly, and at the same time, their heartbeat will speed up, the temperature of their body surface will rise, but the temperature of their fingertips will drop. The characteristics will directly lead to subtle changes when their sweat is dispersed in the air.

And Rand can always easily capture this small change.

"Rand Seavers."

Someone was talking to him through the microphone, and Rand listened blankly, but his degenerated ears caused him a lot of trouble.

He could only barely hear a few broken words.

"...cooperate with...resonance...investigation..."

"Sorry, I can't hear you."

Rand put his ear next to the sounder in great pain, but he couldn't hear the words at all, "Please cooperate with us in the 'Siren' experimental animal resonance test, and we will investigate your close connection with other sirens Spend."

Moreover, no one came to explain this matter to him at all.

Rand was still struggling with the sounder, but soon there was a buzzing mechanical slide above his head.

A black opening appeared in the ceiling.

On the edge of the opening, slime dripped down...

The cold wind from the opening caused Rand to turn his head slowly, and he happened to see "that thing" appear.

"Snapped……"

With a wet slamming sound, a weird creature covered in slime fell to the ground just like that, but after a few seconds, it began to wriggle on the ground.

Rand didn't know how to describe this monster...

It looked like a cross between a catfish and some sort of primate, with a mottled black and gray body surface that showed rusted aluminum pipes, an uncharacteristically large fin near the tail, and The upper body is covered with thick golden features.It has a gorilla-like face, with a protruding mouth and sunken eyes--the bright red eyes seem to be burning, exuding a beast-like light.

Subject No. 261, a substitute before the human experiment, a chimpanzee alienated after being infected with the siren, its name is Mary... Before the experiment, the researchers had expected that its friendliness to humans would continue until sirenization Later (it used to be a very popular circus star before, but animal protectors were full of hostility to animal performances, and the circus was disbanded after numerous trainings, and Mary was killed by a deep white animal after being tossed many times Laboratory acceptance), but the effect is very poor.

"Old, my God..."

After seeing it, Rand subconsciously grabbed Stitch in his hand, and he stepped back little by little. In a short while, the weird thing on the ground had completely got rid of the mucus, and was taking one step forward. Walking towards Rand step by step.

"Hu Chi... Hu Chi..."

Rand could even hear that horrible sound coming from its throat.

His breathing also began to quicken.

There's something wrong with that monster...

he thinks.

On the other side of the observation film, a researcher looked at his companion strangely.

"Experiment No. 261? Did you make a mistake?!"

He couldn't help repeating it.

"Are you trying to let our precious Rand Sievers die? That damned monster has just undergone painful weapon training and is now in the cooling-off period for humans. You release it now and talk to Ran De Sievers' contact is simply to let Rand die..."

"There is nothing we can do, the order from above."

His companion said with a bitter face.

"God..."

……

Rand didn't know that there were two people on the other side of the lab discussing his fate, and now he couldn't care less about anything else, he had been forced into it by the approaching "catfish monster" without knowing it. The corner of the wall—the latter was staring at him, with thick mucus dripping from his mouth.

"*&*...%￥..."

It let out a series of slurred yells, and the nails automatically popped out of its hairy black fingers after getting close to Rand...

Rand felt that he could hardly breathe.

Some sort of chaotic emotion was seeping through him...

Pain, despair, sorrow...

He almost burst into tears—these emotions were not produced by himself, these emotions were more like poured to him from another container.He didn't know what was going on, but he soon noticed the "monster".

Its face still looked terrible, and there is nothing so ridiculous and terrifying as a piece of an orangutan perched on a fish's tail.

【I want to jump... I want to catch lice...】

【it hurts……】

【Banana... don't want to eat meat...】

[Companion... woo woo... Companion...]

As the other party got closer, the emotion that seeped into Rand became more intense and specific.

Rand's fear of it had completely disappeared, and he felt as if... as if he could feel some thoughts of the other party, or in other words, he could feel the remaining fragments of emotions and memories in the other party's mind.

"Hey guy……"

He didn't know why he spoke suddenly.
