Mermaid Effect

Any creature with siren cells in its body, their mind became a room for Rand that he could enter and exit at will.

He can easily invade their minds, see through their eyes, hear through their ears, use their bodies to feel everything around them, and if Rand chooses, he can even control them for a short time actions and emotions...

It has been half a month since the female researcher "lost control" in his room that day. During this time, Rand gradually realized his special ability.

Of course, there are still some problems with his memory, he is a little more forgetful than normal people, and he still can't remember his past.

Those gaps in memory are still unfilled, which sometimes makes Rand feel uneasy, but from the actual situation, he doesn't have much time to waste recalling the past.

Every other day or two, Rand's room would have an emotionally unstable "monster", and sorting out their emotions and calming their spirits gradually became some kind of job of Rand... at least he I think so.

He still felt mental pain from those poor creatures, but his body did not continue to deteriorate due to this continuous "treatment".What the researchers reported to the upper layers was that Rand Sievers had gradually adapted to empathize with other creatures—when, in fact, Rand had just found a window to vent his stress.

During the time when no monsters came, he began to "fugue".

From senior researchers who have been injected with mermaid stock solution, to A-level siren weapon derivatives, to those unsuccessful and weak experimental animals.

Rand began to let his soul wander among different individuals.

It was also at this time that he saw the...creature.

Subject 7371.

That's what other people call it.

It was different from all the siren subjects that Rand had seen.

It's very handsome, you have to admit it, it's like a real mermaid that would appear in a fairy tale, with a slender fish tail, a toned body and a face so beautiful that you can't blink .

Against it, any other siren subject would look like the trash in the prop room of a third-rate horror sci-fi movie...

At the same time, its IQ is also very high.

Rand didn't know why he was so sure of this, but he just had that intuition.

In fact, during this period of time, Rand has come into contact with enough siren subjects—they can all be said to be the best of the siren subjects in essence, otherwise no one would have made a big fuss. Thoughtfully sent them to Rand to stabilize his emotions.

If there is no certain use, the siren subjects that are weak or not powerful enough will be directly treated as garbage after they collapse.

The siren subjects that Rand came into contact with generally have IQs and abilities that exceed their original individuals. Take Mary as an example, it can easily perform three-digit multiplication and division. It can also deftly navigate man-made mazes full of traps.

But, that's about it.

There is still an indelible imprint of the animal on them.

But experimental subject 7371 was different. From the first time Rand saw it, Rand knew that it possessed the ability of self-thinking that other experimental subjects did not have, even though it did not even pass any of the routine tests due to serious emotional problems the same.

Compared with other experimental subjects, it gave Rand a... human-like feeling.

But the strange thing is exactly here, Rand is full of love and sympathy for other siren subjects, but has a more complex emotional reaction to this subject 7371.

He will be terrified and disgusted by it.

Rand still remembers the first time he saw Subject 7371 through mind intrusion.

"He" is a senior laboratory leader, standing inside the huge glass curtain wall and looking down.

It was a huge space close to the size of a football field, with a high ceiling, the walls and the ground were covered with silver anti-impact molecular foil, and at the edge of the ceiling, a group of ring pulse guns were all ready to attack—— And the muzzle of the gun was facing the experimental subject in the center of the room.

It was lying on the ground covered with scars, and its blood-red pupils were filled with anger and disgust.

In front of him, there was an electronic curtain.

A staff member with cold eyes is looking at it through the video.

"I will cover up the dismantling process of the electric template of the AE-KI deep-sea submarine to you again... I know you can understand everything I demonstrated, and I hope you can cooperate with me to complete this task, or you will continue to be punished. "

The staff member is talking.

At the same time, in the observation room where the person in charge was invaded by Rand, there were also people discussing the unique experimental subject.

"...I heard that you gave it an IQ test before?"

"Yes, the results were shocking, it has a higher IQ than most humans, especially in terms of spatial and graphic thinking... but considering that most sirens have conceptual thinking, this is not surprising. "

"That's right, but it doesn't look like that docile type," a speaker frowned and looked at the close-up of Subject 7371 on the monitor, and then said, "How did you get it for the test before?" What? We have nothing to do with it now, it is full of hatred for humans..."

"Uh, you must think it's ridiculous to say it..."

"Jesus, tell me quickly! This test is tiring me - God knows I'm starting to worry that it's going to get cooked with a pulse gun someday."

"We told it that if it can complete the test obediently, we will let it contact Rand Seavers..."

……

After Rand heard his name, his emotions fluctuated uncontrollably.

This fluctuation made him feel a twist in his vision - he would soon be ejected from the mind of this senior manager.

But at this time, under the observation room, the experimental subject 7371, who was tens of meters away from "him", seemed to feel something, and raised his head for a moment to look at the "him" manager...

No, Rand always felt that what it was really looking at was himself.

After meeting those bright red eyes, Rand felt a burst of intense nausea and anger. The next second, he saw the siren experimental subject rushing towards the observation room... It fell into chaos in an instant, but Rand couldn't feel it at all.

He was ejected from the manager's mind.

When he came back to his senses in his body, he found himself shrunk to the corner unconsciously, curled up with his hands hugging his shoulders, and at the same time his face was covered with tears.

He didn't know exactly what happened, but the first time he saw the experimental subject, the vivid fear burned in his body like a flame...

But the weird thing is that even though he was tortured by this kind of fear and anger, when Rand "fugue" again later, he found that he would come to the side of Experimental Subject 7371 again without knowing it.

As if there was some kind of invisible magnetism in the body of Experimental 7371, Rand would always unconsciously invade the thoughts of researchers or creatures around it, and then observe it through the eyes of other creatures.

Rand could feel that some part of his soul was being attracted by Experimental Subject 7371...

He watched it learn to disassemble the submarine's power panel bit by bit, learned to operate the high-tech metal exoskeleton, learned to cut and blow up the submarine cable... Just as Rand thought, the experimental subject 7371 was so smart Incredible.

But at the same time, in some respects, it was as innocent as a child—those people kept telling it that as long as it did those things well, they would take it to see Rand.

They never fulfilled their promises, but Experimental Subject 7371 always obediently listened to them.

Rand didn't know why he became the bargaining chip of those people, which made him feel very uncomfortable and angry, but the reality made him know that he couldn't resist.

And to be honest, when Shenbai's staff first told him to let Experimental Subject 7371 meet him, he even believed it, and lost sleep all night because of it.He still feared and loathed that amazingly beautiful creature, but he couldn't deny that there was still a part of his soul that was happy about it.

Even when Rand realized that the deep white man was only deceiving the experimental subject, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Sometimes Rand almost goes crazy because of these two diametrically opposed emotions in his body... Even he himself is very puzzled, why is he so concerned about that experimental subject?

Just like now, he unknowingly "wandered" to the side of Experimental Subject 7371.

It was still the huge silver laboratory, and the air was filled with a damp fishy smell (this smell, I don’t know why Rand felt nostalgic), he glanced sideways upwards, and the observation room looked very far away.He couldn't see the shadows of the people inside, but he could feel the condescending gaze of those people.

It's not a good feeling at all.

Subject 7371 was placed in front of him.

In Rand's hand, there was a huge cage. In it, two pigs were moaning and struggling. They felt the breath of the experimental subject 7371, and they spit out excrement and urine out of fear.

This is an experiment—the experimental subject 7371 installed a laser cutting gun on his finger not long ago. If it can be successfully put into use, the siren experimental subject can easily cut through the hull of the submarine with this tool, and it can also be used on the ship's deck. to attack the enemy.However, at present, this kind of cutting gun is still an experimental weapon, and now Shenbai's experiment is to let the experimental subject 7371 try it on pigs (just like all other experiments, pig hair, skin, etc.) and visceral distribution are strikingly similar to humans) to gather information.
