Since the last conversation, there has been a slight chill between Boyce and Garcia, starting from Boyce.

Boyce occasionally found time from the Institute to visit Collins, but Collins basically ignored most of the Institute's researchers, and only Boyce occasionally got a few words in response.

But almost half of what Collins and Boyce mentioned involved the S-24, and he wanted to see him.

"Can't you let me see him?" Collins looked at Boyce with real expectation in his eyes, "I can go and feed him. Don't you all like to feed fish?"

Collins is different from those who have been injected with drugs, so they sometimes lose their consciousness and are controlled by the emotions of the mermaid body.

He didn't have any inhuman features, but the original consciousness never appeared again, as if gradually being eroded by the consciousness that appeared on him now, and turned into another completely different person.

During the chat between the two, Boyce secretly mentioned the idea of ​​wanting him to leave the institute several times, but Collins' attitude was very obvious, he would never leave S-24.

Boyce just found it ridiculous. He didn't even know the name of the cyan mermaid, and he was still called by the number given to him by the laboratory.

Collins, however, acted as if they were a deeply affectionate couple.

Boyce and Anthony discussed that regardless of Collins' wishes, they would take him away from S-24 first.

Before the logistics ship departed from the institute, Louis found the institute.

Boyce has always been very curious about this man, who is probably the mermaid leader in Garcia's mouth. According to Anthony and Ivy, the 40-year-old man can't tell his age. He looks very young, probably in a hurry. When he came, he still had a tired look on his face. After arriving, he nodded slightly in Boyce's direction and then turned his head to answer the words of the people around him.

For the other "sofia" of the institute, Louis also has the same attitude as Beuys. The existence of mermaids is quite obscure in human society, and Beyce is the first one after he met Hearst.

As for the other Collins, Louis only had some vague impressions, but he didn't think this young master would be tempted by mermaids. After knowing that he might be Sofia from S-24, he didn't pay any more attention.

On the evening of the day when Louis arrived at the institute, Boyce and Louis officially met, and the chat between them focused more on the mermaid.

In the past few contacts through the communicator, Boyce had faintly noticed his negative attitude towards the relationship between the mermaid and "sofia", and it became more obvious after the meeting.

Although Louis did not try to dissuade Boyce and Garcia from being together, Boyce could occasionally see from his eyebrows that he was not optimistic about the relationship between a man and a mermaid.

Boyce casually mentioned Collins while talking to him.

"The logistics ship will leave tomorrow. I want Anthony to send him away, which may change his current state." Boyce frowned, and then relayed Collins' previous state in his eyes.

"He hasn't left yet?" Boyce was stunned when he saw Louis, "And he was tricked by that mermaid into agreeing to the promise?"

Boyce nodded.

Louis was silent for a moment: "Let him go see the mermaid."

Boyce heard him say, "Collins won't come back."

"Why?" Boyce subconsciously asked.

"Didn't he tell you?" Louis looked at him, Boyce could see a bit of pity in his eyes, and a bit of insight that saw through everything, "Transformation is irreversible."

"Transformation?"

"There are two ways to transform a mermaid."

Boyce had indeed heard Garcia mention it.

Louis glanced at him, but did not continue to explain, but asked another question: "Do you know why the mermaid must complete the transformation?"

"...to be able to get along with my partner for a longer time." Boyce noticed Louis' expression, and his voice became softer, a little uncertain.

"It's just an unimportant reason."

Boyce heard him say: "Courtship, estrus, transformation... The ultimate goal is to reproduce the race."

"The original purpose of transformation is to transform human beings, and only after transformation can they give birth to offspring."

"One reason for the extended lifespan is that when humans are mothers, the lifespan is too short for mermaids to successfully wait for the development of mermaid eggs to mature."

The reason why the transformation is divided into two types is because the transformation is irreversible for the people classified as sofia.

But not all humans are willing to stay at the bottom of the sea and live with an alien race.

Mermaids will ask for the consent of humans in the matter of transformation, which is one of the reasons, to ensure that humans will stay by their side willingly.

But there will always be people who don't want to.

So there is a second conversion method.

"The second type?" Boyce subconsciously thought of Collins.

"After the transformation, the memory of human beings will remain, but the consciousness will undergo a great change, and the center of gravity of the whole person will only be a mermaid."

"But because the offspring bred by the second transformation method are not as qualified as the first one, the mermaid will instinctively lean towards the first transformation."

But that doesn't mean they won't use the second option.

"What kind of group is Sofia?" After a moment of silence, Boyce asked another question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

"It is a human being who is completely indistinguishable from other people." Louis said.

"It's just that the mermaid feels special."

"It can be transformed by a mermaid." Louis paused, looking at Boyce, "Any mermaid is fine."

He seemed to be emphasizing: "Every mermaid can also transform all human beings who can be classified as sofia."

But it can only be successfully transformed once, whether it is a human or a mermaid.

Louis was once brought back to the mermaid lair by Hearst, where there were records left by the predecessors, and there was indeed a case of one mermaid transforming another mermaid's partner.

"Garcia told me that each mermaid's sofia is unique."

"In fact, that person is just the most suitable object selected by instinct, in order to give birth to better offspring."

"But you and I are both men..." Boyce looked away in a panic, but couldn't help paying attention to Louis' words.

"Men can't have children." Boyce heard him laugh, "Mermaid eggs can't be born either."

"But they themselves are creatures driven by instinct..."

"However, sofia only affects mermaids, not humans."

Lewis turned his head to look at Boyce: "Will you fall in love with him because you are his Sofia?"

will not.

Boyce can answer in the affirmative.

His affection for Garcia stems from the mermaid itself and the heartbeat that has gradually begun to sprout during their time together over the past few months.

And not just because of the identity of a "sofia" who was put on by a mermaid.

"You like him," Louis asked. "And do you think he likes you?"

"It's not because of instinct, it's just because I like you purely."
