Mermaid Feeding Rules

The glass room is not soundproofed, so Laurie's voice reaches Boyce and Matthew, who is taken aback by Laurie's movements.

Matthew looked at Boyce, only to find that he moved closer to the glass instead.

"What are you looking at?" Matthew asked him.

Boyce carefully looked at the face in front of him. Now it has become flat again, but Laurie seems to have been replaced.

The newly replaced face was somewhat familiar. Matthew looked at Boyce for a while, and then stared at Laurie with some doubts.

After a while, he looked at Boyce in some shock.

"S-37?!"

Boyce nodded. Laurie's current face looked like it was synthesized by combining the facial features of Garcia and Laurie, but more of Garcia's part belonged to it.

"How could this be?" Matthew was a little shocked.

Originally, they thought that z-Ⅲ would at best transform human beings into mermaids, but they didn't expect Laurie to change towards Garcia.

Boyce looked at Laurie in the glass room.

He seems to have completed the transformation in a very short period of time now, and even his hair is a little blue under the light.

What is the connection between Laurie and Garcia now?

Now Laurie seems to have lost all human thoughts, staring at Beuys, repeating "transformation" and "birth of a child" in his mouth.

"Can he get better like this?" Matthew looked at Boyce with little hope.

Lowry's stable period some time ago seemed to be a flashback, and the accident came unexpectedly.

Matthew sighed: "Stay away from him."

"Collins just got too close to him and was caught by him."

"He probably regards the people he sees closest to him as courtship objects." This conclusion was inferred from Laurie's words such as "bringing up offspring" and "having children".

However, Boyce knew that the facts should be different from Matthew's guess.

"Sofia?" Matthew repeated the word, "It sounds like a person's name, does it have any special meaning?"

……

Originally, the research institute was still waiting for the faint hope that Laurie would wake up, but unexpectedly, on the third morning, Laurie lost the signs of life.

When he died, he was curled up with his legs together, and the scaly skin was scattered around his body. The nails, canines and webs connected between his fingers seemed to fall off naturally, scattered around his body.

Boyce and the others checked Laurie's physical data and found that he was almost back to his pre-z-Ⅲ injection.

According to the time, this day is the last day of the deadline that Boyce and the others calculated before the effect of z-Ⅲ on Laurie's body will completely disappear.

According to the initial guess, he would return to his pre-reformed appearance after the effect of the medicine disappeared, but no one expected that death would also come at the same time.

After Laurie passed away, a researcher in Boyce's laboratory was a little bit embarrassed. He originally said that he was going to leave the institute, and he had planned everything he would do after connecting...

After Laurie's death, it should be Collins who was most affected.

It was also a coincidence that he went to Boyce's laboratory that day, and was taken hostage by Laurie and repeated in his ear that he would let him continue to breed offspring for himself.

Collins fell ill the next day from the fright, and when he recovered a little, news of Laurie's death came again.

The investors seem to be a little busy recently, so they can only let Collins stay in the research institute to recover from his illness before going back.

Therefore, people who are familiar with Collins in the research institute have been notified to go to the young master to chat with him if they have time, and to explain him.

Boyce naturally received it too.

Hobbs was there when he went.

Collins glanced at Boyce, told him to sit down next to him, and then looked back at Hobbs, beckoning him to continue talking.

"You were frightened, but you are all right now," said Hobbs. "Laurie is dead, and no one can hurt you..."

Collins frowned after hearing what he said, and then looked at Boyce: "I want to have a private conversation with Boyce, you go first."

Hobbs took a look at Boyce, and although he was a little bit unwilling, he still resigned to his fate and left.

"Laurie is dead..." Collins can still recall the touch of the nails cutting his neck and the blood flowing down the skin.

"He also said a few days ago that I would come and see me later." Collins looked a little dazed. It was the first time he saw this kind of death in the institute, and Collins still hadn't reacted.

He seemed very sad about Laurie's death, which even surprised Boyce. After all, Collins was really frightened by him after he left Laurie that day. When he mentioned Laurie who was still in the glass room, he often Couldn't help cursing out loud.

But he didn't ask anything. Collins wanted to find someone to listen to him. Compared with others, Boyce, who he was more familiar with, was a good candidate.

"Laurie is not the same as the monster that day..."

Collins sticks to that.

"Laurie is a human being, one of our kind."

"But it was just a monster that day!" Collins sounded a little excited. Later, he asked Hobbs to find Laurie's surveillance in the glass room for him, and he had seen Laurie's behavior different from human beings in the glass room. manner.

"The one behind is also a monster!"

Collins thought of Laurie after the laboratory changes, and some of his body still trembled: "Laurie died in the laboratory that day..."

Collins had watched many movies before, and he remembered a famous movie he had seen before.

"Have you seen Infection?"

It was a popular movie in Boyce's teenage years, and Boyce, of course, saw it.

Alien creatures infect humans and use humans as hosts. Human beings are transformed unconsciously. When all conditions are met, they will become another body of the infected alien.

"The step killed the original person, and then took possession of the body." Collins defined Laurie's changes in this way.

"You've been working on such horrible stuff," Collins said.

……

The research on z-Ⅲ was finally completely terminated under the strong resistance of Collins and pressure from investors, and Collins even asked the data to be destroyed.

However, at the insistence of Professor Cyril, the investor finally agreed that the Institute would not study z-Ⅲ any more, but the relevant materials must be preserved, but they would not be easily read.

When the matter came to an end, Professor Cyril asked Beyce and the others to submit a summary and seal it up with the information on z-Ⅲ.

The summary finally fell on Beuys. When writing the summary, Beuys thought of Collins' words again.

Although it may sound absurd and unbelievable, it does seem to make sense for Laurie.

The person locked in the glass room has almost completely lost the consciousness of Laurie. The more he recalls, Boyce feels that his behavior is more inclined to Garcia's behavior when they first met.

It's just that it may be because of the incomplete transformation, he looks like a mermaid who relies more on instinct.

In other words, Garcia who is closer to instinct.

convert...

When Boyce went to see Laurie, he heard him mention the word many times, and he connected it with "breeding offspring".

Garcia had also mentioned the "transformation" to Boyce before, and Boyce could feel that he was very enthusiastic about transformation.

Boyce was a little hesitant. The transformation Garcia mentioned would make human beings become another mermaid without a fish tail after transformation?

For mermaids, does sofia only have the meaning of the body and the breeding of offspring?

Through transformation, let the human body become a suitable matrix, and at the same time erase the original human mind and replace it with the mermaid mind, so as to reproduce?

If so, can the transformed person still be regarded as the original person?

……

"Do mermen transform their mates?" Boyce asked Garcia.Although Boyce kept telling himself that he would not allow Garcia to be transformed, Boyce still couldn't help asking Garcia about the transformation.

"meeting."

"Does it have to be transformed? Why?"

"After the transformation, you can stay with me longer, isn't it good?" Garcia wondered, "I've seen people say in movies that I hope I can stay with my partner longer."

Beyond that, García said: "Only after transformation can you conceive offspring."

"I'm a man." Boyce looked at him seriously. "A man can't conceive or give birth to offspring."

"I know." Although mermaids can impregnate humans, they haven't reached the point where they can impregnate men as well.

"Do you want to have offspring?" Boyce asked. After saying the words, Boyce felt that he might have done too much. Laurie, who was more inclined to Garcia's instinct, kept repeating "breeding offspring".

Garcia was at a loss because of Boyce's question.

Want to have offspring?

Garcia doesn't know, he only knows that he doesn't like cubs, but instinctively desires to have offspring with his partner

"I don't know..." Garcia looked at Boyce and shook his head.

Finding a partner and bearing offspring are two things Garcia has been pursuing before meeting Beuys. Although it was later discovered that Beyce was a man and unable to have children, it did not prevent him from looking forward to his partner conceiving a child of his own. own offspring.

"Would you like a mate who can conceive your offspring?"

"I just want you." Garcia felt something from Boyce's tone and assured Boyce.

Garcia suddenly realized that Boyce seemed to care about what he was doing because he obeyed his instinct.

Garcia tried to prove to Boyce that he was not completely dominated by instinct, and then remembered Collins who was shaking in front of him some time ago.

More than once, he felt the breath of a partner in Collins.

"But I don't like him." Garcia always used the word "like".

"Because he's not you." Even though instinct told him that that person was his partner, Garcia was unwilling to get close.

He had indeed let his instincts rule him in the past, but Garcia now chooses Beuys when instinct and Beuys go against him.
