Mermaid Feeding Rules

The aura of a partner that Collins felt could not appease Garcia. He pressed against the glass a little anxiously, and his nails scraped against the glass with harsh sounds.

And Collins outside the glass looked at the mermaid inside, and repeated again: "My name is Collins."

He wanted to take advantage of this time to develop a relationship with the mermaid. Although his father and grandfather had told him that he could bring the mermaid back as a pet, Collins was a little disappointed that he couldn't show it off in front of other people.

But Collins also understood that the existence of the mermaid was a secret, so he accepted the matter under their appeasement.

Although he can't show it to other people, Collins still wants a mermaid as a pet. Now that he has time, he comes to the breeding room. He wants to cultivate a relationship with Garcia, so that he can easily fish in the future.

Seeing that the mermaid's attention was not on him, Collins knocked on the glass: "I'm here."

Garcia opened his mouth to him, showing his sharp teeth, trying to drive away the human being who was always getting in his way, and wanted to ask him where Boyce was.

Although he occasionally couldn't sense the existence of Boyce some time ago, Garcia didn't pay much attention to it. Until now, he couldn't feel the breath of Boyce, but he felt the breath of his partner in Collins.

This gave him an illusion that the human being in front of him was his partner.

But Garcia knew that Collins was not his partner, his partner should be Boyce.

The receptors on the back of the neck ached again, showing its sense of existence. The mermaid frowned, and wanted to ask where Collins Boyce was now, but remembering that Boyce had been telling himself that it was best not to be in front of other people Talking, Garcia just kept his mouth shut and tried to scare him away through the glass.

Collins naturally also felt the blue mermaid's hostility towards him, and he was a little timid, but thinking of another mermaid, he mustered up his courage again.

Collins recalled the docile appearance of the blue mermaid in front of him, and he regained his confidence. He believed that he could also submit to the blue mermaid in front of him.

……

On the other side, Laurie, who came out of the next room, walked into the laboratory.

Boyce glanced at him, and Laurie soaked his clothes with water, and water droplets dripped down his clothes to the ground from time to time.

"Boyce..." Laurie walked towards Boyce after entering.

The colleague next to him glanced at Laurie, then at Boyce, and gave him an ambiguous look.

I don't know when, rumors suddenly spread in the institute that Laurie had a crush on him.

Boyce had heard someone say the day before: "Have you noticed the way Laurie looks at you?"

The speaker smiled: "He is so enthusiastic when he looks at you."

Very enthusiastic indeed.

Boyce admitted this, but as the person concerned, Boyce did not feel the emotion of admiration and liking in his eyes at all.

"What's the matter?" Boyce glanced at him.

Laurie looked straight at him, then put his hands in front of him.

"look……"

What to look at?

Boyce was puzzled, and Laurie got closer to him while he was looking at his hands, and then spread his five fingers, which were still wet.

"Look at this."

Boyce opened his eyes wide in surprise, Laurie's hands were still dripping with water, and a transparent film appeared between his open fingers.

It is still a very thin layer, it looks transparent under the light, and it is connected between the fingers, like webs between the fingers of a mermaid...

"When... did this appear..." Boyce's tone was a bit difficult, as they hadn't discovered its existence just now.

"It just appeared when I was soaking in the bathtub." Laurie opened his hands wider and looked at Boyce eagerly.

Boyce felt that his current posture was very familiar... It seemed to be five or six points similar to Garcia's appearance every time he came up to ask for rewards...

"Matthew!" Boyce asked Matthew from the other side to come over.

"What's the matter?" Matthew asked.

"Look at his hands."

Hearing this, Matthew also set his eyes on the film between his fingers. During the time Matthew came over, the originally thin film of flesh had almost doubled in thickness.

Matthew looked at this scene and almost froze in place.

This was the first time that they witnessed the mutation process in Laurie.

And Laurie himself didn't seem to think there was anything strange about it. He looked at the extra webs on his hands with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Boyce and Matthew were still immersed in the shock and did not recover. Laurie, who originally showed them the changes on his handles, suddenly took them back.

He withdrew his hand, gave Boyce a cold look, then pushed Boyce and Matthew away, and walked out between them.

Laurie's strength has become much stronger recently, and Matthew was pushed back a few steps by him without checking for a while: "What's the matter with him?" Why did he suddenly change his face again, but it's not like he lost control and hurt people before status.

Matthew remembers that Lowry had always been so kind to Boyce that his colleagues in the lab guessed that Lowry liked him.

"Didn't he say he likes you?" Matthew snorted, remembering Laurie's attitude when he just pushed them away, and couldn't see his attitude towards the person he liked. "It seems that it's all fake."

Not long after Laurie left the laboratory, he met Collins who left Garcia's breeding room in frustration.

Although seeing the mermaid was not a waste of time, Collins was still a little frustrated when he was driven out by the mermaid.

Collins thought, compared to another mermaid, s-37 is much harder to please.

Seeing Laurie, Collins greeted him, knowing that he didn't seem to like him very much, and Collins, who had just hit a wall at Garcia's, didn't want to post it again.

However, what Collins did not expect was that Laurie took the initiative to walk towards him.

"Collins." Laurie looked straight at him with undisguised eagerness.

"What's the matter with you?" Collins felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze.

"fine."

Laurie said, "I just wanted to see you..."

"What?" Collins was taken aback by his words, and looked at him suspiciously.

After a while, Laurie seemed to realize that his behavior was a little strange. His overly eager expression was put away, and he returned to his original indifferent attitude. After glancing at Collins, he left without saying a word.

Collins looked at his back and muttered, "This man is weird."

……

The pain in the back of Garcia's neck finally subsided, and the perception of his partner disappeared for a moment and then reappeared, but Garcia was a little unsure whether the person he sensed was Boyce.

At night, Boyce came to feed him when it was time. After entering the breeding room, he found the mermaid staring at him without blinking.

"what happened?"

Garcia leaned over, wrapped the human into his arms, and lowered his head to smell his breath.

The breath that had disappeared seemed to return to Boyce.

The slightly cool tip of his nose rubbed against Boyce's neck. Boyce originally wanted to push the mermaid away, but thinking that he would be sent away in more than a month, he put his hand on the mermaid's head lightly. Strength, with a tacit indulgence.

"That person showed up today."

"His breath is very similar to yours."

As Garcia spoke, he couldn't help sniffing him again, to confirm that the person in front of him was indeed his partner.

"Is there any problem?" The human seemed a little confused about what he was struggling with.

Garcia shook his head. The mermaid distinguishes its partner by its breath, and Collins can also perceive the unique breath of his partner, which means that he may also be his partner.

Garcia always remembered that Boyce was trying to separate himself from Garcia's partner, and if he knew, he might have pushed himself towards another person.

"I don't like him," Garcia complained to Boyce.

He didn't like the aura of a partner in another human being, even though it seemed that the other person was easier to coax than Boyce, and could rashly agree to his request to go back to the deep sea with him.

But Garcia only wanted Boyce to be his partner, even though he didn't understand that the original purpose was only to think of himself brought back to the deep sea by his partner to spend the breeding season, so why he must be obsessed with Boyce.

"I just want you," he said.

Boyce put his hand on his hair, and said hesitantly: "I see."

"I will try to minimize the number of times he comes over."

Boyce thought, anyway, he just wanted to secretly release the mermaid while Collins was about to take Garcia away.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Collins has always had a high interest in Garcia, and he mentioned in front of Boyce more than once that he would take Garcia away when he left.

……

Laurie's mutations are getting faster and faster.

After webbing appeared on his body, the researchers in the laboratory again proposed to terminate the experiment.

But this time, Professor Cyril firmly rejected the proposal.

"This was discussed a while ago."

Professor Cyril's eyes fell on Laurie who was beside him: "And, Laurie said before that he is willing to continue the experiment?"

But Laurie, who was watched by Professor Cyril, was a little nervous, with sweat dripping from his forehead, and his lips were trembling, but he couldn't say anything for certain.

The cowardice that had disappeared from him for a long time seemed to return to him suddenly at a certain moment.

"I...I..." His voice was weak and intermittent.

"Don't you want to continue?" Professor Cyril asked him as if he realized something from his reaction.

Laurie wanted to nod, but seeing Professor Cyril looking at him, he was a little afraid to move.

He remembered the time when Oriel had just fallen, and Laurie had just been taken into Professor Cyril's laboratory at that time.

At that time, Professor Cyril was like a gentle and kind elder, telling him the progress of the research on z-Ⅲ in their experimental group, and then, unknowingly, Laurie's original idea of ​​only wanting to save his life changed, and he began to Wanted more, and finally agreed to participate in the auxiliary medicine

He seems to have finally realized that he is now reduced to a guinea pig again, and for some unknown purpose, Professor Cyril seems not to allow him to quit.

"I..." Laurie plucked up his courage, met Professor Cyril's gaze, "I don't..."

A satisfied smile appeared on Professor Cyril's face, and he directly interrupted the rest of his speech: "I know, you don't want to stop the experiment even if you want to say it."

Laurie fell silent.

Professor Cyril looked at the others present: "In this case, the experiment will continue."

……

Laurie's webs are fully grown.

Boyce looked at the figure on the bench, which was hardly recognizable as a human now.

Laurie's legs were elongated and his body was covered in red scaly bumps, and someone next to him was holding a wet towel and covering the dry parts of his body.

The clipped nails began to grow intermittently, and with the webs between the five fingers, it looked more like a mermaid's hand than a human's.

He now looks more like a humanoid than a human.

After Boyce and his team tested, Laurie was now more like a creature between humans and mermaids, but he seemed to have inherited most of the weaknesses of both humans and mermaids.

Boyce puts a hand on his wrist as he pulls out the needle to draw a tube of blood from his hand.

Boyce looked at the owner of the hand. He could hardly express himself now, only a pair of eyes looked at Boyce, with the meaning of asking for help.

Because of his cowardice in the last meeting, Laurie did not refute Professor Cyril, and now he regrets it.

He wanted to live, to live as a human being.

Instead of living like a different kind like now.

Boyce's eyes trembled, he looked up at the people around him, then he squatted down and whispered in his ear.

"Reagent No. 1 is in safe No. 113, and the password is..."

As for whether he can get it, it can only be seen by himself.
