pure white believer
Chapter 12 Freedom Number 08
Nan Ting didn't react at first.
It wasn't until he saw the woman in front of him stuffing the electric shock gun back, and then pulling out the live ammunition gun to point it at himself, that he realized that "handling" meant that the other party planned to kill him.
Nan Ting: "...?"
His first reaction was not panic, but rather strange—in his memory, the Control Bureau had very low authority, and they were not qualified to execute people above D-level when their lives were not threatened.
Not even criminals.
What's more, I am not a criminal.
But now he can't blatantly reprimand the other party, "Why didn't you abide by the regulations? How did you pass the assessment", or just directly teach the other party a lesson, so he had to stretch out his hand.
Daria was immediately alert: "What are you doing?"
Nan Ting paused for a moment, retracted four fingers, and then continued to reach out.Not knowing whether his appearance was too deceptive or his actions were too gentle, Daria seemed to have forgotten that he was the "dangerous species" they called, and she didn't avoid his hand for a while.
So he gently poked her gun with the remaining finger.
"Can you stop pointing it at me?" he said in an "I'm hungry" tone. "I'm kind of scared."
Daria: "..."
Daria: "?"
"Uh..." She didn't know how to answer for a while, and finally choked out a sentence, "Sorry, we are on official business.
Wang Xu gave her a white look: "Moji."
"Then can you let me go?" Nan Ting said, thought for a while, and explained the cause and effect, "I came out to play at home, but they caught me on the boat. I want to go home now."
Daria: "...Huh?"
The other party's tone was so light that she was a little confused for a moment, not knowing whether she was on official business or visiting the aquarium.
Wang Xu on the side sneered, and snatched the gun from Darya's hand: "If you don't dare to deal with it, don't waste your time here! What are you dawdling about!"
Nan Ting just glanced at him, then spoke again, still in a flat tone: "I can take you upstairs, I know where what you are looking for is."
After finishing speaking, as if he remembered it after a while, he added another sentence: "Can you not kill me?"
There was an eerie silence in the room.
Daria stared at the merman in the tank.
It was the first time she had seen a dangerous species behave so calmly before dying, as if... had no conception of impending death.
And Wang Xu held up the gun, but he didn't pull the trigger for a long time.
For the merman was looking at him with those golden eyes, and he had an inexplicable emotion from it.
A feeling of being condescending and looking down on.
Finally, Fu Cheng spoke first.
"Don't touch him yet." He said to Wang Xu, then turned to Nan Ting, his sharp eagle eyes narrowed, "Who are you?"
"My home is nearby." Nan Ting said vaguely, "When I was out to play, I was captured by the people on this boat. They wanted to sell me."
Fu Cheng stared at his hands and tail covered with waterproof bandages, as if weighing the authenticity of his words.
He doesn't seem to agree with Nan Ting's method: "My question is who are you."
"My name is Nan Ting."
"I didn't ask you what your name is, just tell me your own identity."
Nan Ting was a little dazed. "I'm a mermaid," he whispered.
Fu Cheng was speechless: "..."
He had never been in contact with mermaids before, and today he realized for the first time that he might have a communication problem with this race.
Daria on the side listened impatiently. "Captain," she interrupted, "we have something more important to do!"
She told Fu Cheng exactly what she asked and guessed from the two people on the ground.After finishing speaking, he couldn't help secretly observing Fu Cheng's expression.
Sure enough, after hearing that name, Fu Cheng's expression changed instantly.
It seems that what Wang Xu said is likely to be true.Darya thought.
She asked cautiously: "Then, captain, now is a special period, do we need to report the situation immediately?"
"After reporting, the highest official will come to the scene to supervise the work immediately. Don't report without substantive evidence, unless you want Mr. Chi to make a futile trip."
"No, no, forget it." Daria said repeatedly, "3 minutes ago, the intelligence department gave me new feedback. This cruise ship is called Liberty, and it is registered. The owner Xu Weiming, male, 31 years old, genetic Level B, the rest of the information is unknown. The registration time was three years ago, and it belongs to a travel company... first ask that mermaid what she knows."
Wang Xu said, "You really want to ask him? I don't think he can even understand your question."
Daria ignored him and turned to Nan Ting.
The mermaid in the water tank has a pair of amber-like golden eyes, which are filled with tiny, indecipherable emotions. The eyes looking at her are full of curiosity, innocent and ignorant.She was softened by such eyes almost immediately, and her tone became gentle involuntarily: "What do you know?"
But the mermaid said to her, "What do you want to know?"
Wang Xu laughed loudly from the side.
"Do you know who is on this ship?" Daria asked, as if he was afraid that he could not understand, and then put it another way, "The people who captured you, are there any leaders? What are they? like?"
"Yes." Nan Ting said, "There is a man named Mr. Xu, you have his photo in your hand. Most of the affairs on the ship are presided over by him."
Fu Cheng couldn't help but glanced at him again.
The logic of the speech is clear, completely different from the state when I was talking to myself just now.he thinks.
"most?"
"On the surface, he is in charge." Nan Ting said, "but there is a man named 'Mr. X' behind him, who should be the real owner of the ship. reaction, they were all terrified of him."
Daria's pupils shrank slightly, and she turned to Fu Cheng and asked, "Captain Fu...?"
"Ask him if he knows the key." Fu Cheng said.
"Don't need to figure out that X..."
"It's okay." Fu Cheng said, "I'm sure."
His self-confidence is justified: as an action team leader with a gene level of A, in the world of ordinary people, it is almost impossible to find anyone with better abilities than him.
And people who are better than him are all working in the Alien Management Association and will not become his opponents.
Darya clearly believed in her captain, too.She lowered her head and rummaged in her bag for a while, then turned to Nan Ting again, with an extra piece of paper in her hand: "Have you seen this?"
On the paper was a photograph of a brass-colored key.
Nan Ting said, "I've seen it."
"where is it?"
"In the hands of Mr. Xu."
Nan Ting remembered that when the auction was in progress, someone handed the key to Mr. Xu, saying that it was the buyer No. 7 who gave it to him.
"What about the stuffed bird of paradise? Do you know where it is?"
"Backstage at the auction on the third floor. Was there when I left, not sure if it's been moved now."
Daria frowned. "What kind of tricks is this No. 7 playing?" She said to herself, "Captain Fu, what should we do now?"
"Action, get the key back first." After thinking for a while, Fu Cheng ordered, "Don't approach the specimen without the key. No matter what happens, never use the key to open the cage door—don't forget the specimen's identity." The danger level is S."
Nan Ting was taken aback, and almost immediately thought of what the Bird of Paradise said earlier.
I will take revenge on his followers...
What exactly is it trying to do?
Daria: "Yes!"
Wang Xu had a sullen face and didn't respond.He looked down at the gun in his hand, threw it back to Daria, then drew his weapon and pointed it at Nan Ting.
"Come out," he said, "and lead the way."
Nan Ting shook his head: "I'm not an adult yet."
"The regulations on the protection of minors don't seem to apply to you, right?" Wang Xu said coldly, "Hurry up, stop dawdling."
"Wang Xu, don't attack him." Daria couldn't help but blamed, and then asked Nan Ting, "You haven't grown any legs yet, have you?"
Nan Ting nodded.
He didn't have to explain more.After all, they wouldn't doubt his age.
"It's okay." Daria said warmly, "Wang Xu, you can push him away."
Wang Xu's expression changed, and he immediately exploded: "Are you sick? I—"
"Just do as she said." Fu Cheng ordered, "Xiaoya, find the way ahead. I'll contact Meng Nan, he's still upstairs to attract attention, and he might run into that guy surnamed Xu."
Wang Xu originally wanted to say something, but when he raised his eyes, he met Fu Cheng's stern gaze.
He had no choice but to swallow the words back to his stomach, walked over to push Nanting's water tank with a stinky face.
"I'll show you the way later." Nan Ting said.
Daria nodded.She packed her things, walked in front of everyone, opened the door of the box, and then quietly disappeared into the empty corridor.
The soundproofing effect of the box is very good.After opening the door, Nan Ting heard the sound outside: there was a lot of noise upstairs, someone was running fast, accompanied by the sound of shouting, gunshots and broken glass.
"Take the first staircase on the right and go left after you get out," he said.
After talking and observing for just a few minutes, he already had a simple understanding of the operation team of the Control Bureau:
The team member Daria has strong action ability and good execution ability.The ability is stealth, and from the effect of the ability, the gene level should be around B.As a female team member, she seems to speak better than others.
Team member Meng Nan's ability gene level is unknown, but his ability should not be weak, otherwise he would not be sent to attract the attention of other people on board.
Team member Wang Xu has a bad temper and low obedience.The ability and genetic level are not clear, but they should not be high.Doesn't seem to be entrusted with a lot of responsibility.
There is also Captain Fu Cheng, whose genetic level is higher than Wang Xu, because this is the minimum requirement to join the executive department.
His ability is related to the strengthening of body functions, but Nan Ting can't remember the specific effect clearly - this is not what Nan Ting observed, but he just read this person's information.
For a person who needs to fight all year round, his ability and specific effects are actually a secret that needs to be kept, not public information that everyone can understand.It's just that Nanting's authority in the base is really high, he can basically see what Chi can see, and sometimes Chi will use his authority to show him what he can't see.
From Boss Li, we can know that this action team is the team responsible for the case of the lost bird of paradise specimen.
And their primary purpose is to get the key that can open the birdcage, which means that getting this key can affect the danger of the abnormal item, the bird of paradise specimen.Combined with what the bird of paradise said earlier, once it is released from the cage, it is likely to attack a specific target.
It's just that the people in the action team don't know that the target of the Bird of Paradise is likely to be the buyer of the ship-it regards them as Wen Zhen's "believers" and wants to take revenge on them indirectly.
Nan Ting decided to go backstage later, and find a way to get the key before the Control Bureau team.
He didn't trust this group of people who, for some reason, wanted to kill him as soon as they came up.
Getting the key means that he has the guarantee of delaying time.
——Delay until Wen Zhen, who designed all this, is willing to help.
Under Nan Ting's command, the three-person team of the action team quickly approached the backstage of the auction on the third floor.
On the way, Daria was the first to encounter several buyers who realized that something was wrong and tried to escape, and she easily solved them one by one with sedative drugs.
When she put it away and checked the messages habitually, she suddenly found a message from Fu Cheng on the communicator:
[After getting the key, dispose of the mermaid first, this is the rule.Don't reveal your purpose until then, or he may not cooperate. ]
Daria was taken aback.
[receive. ] she finally replied.
The atmosphere in the corridor was tense.The closer they got to the backstage of the auction, the more nervous the three members of the Control Bureau team were.
Daria, who was invisible, was still the first one to open the door.Just as the door was pulled open a small crack, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air, and then there was a crisp "Dang", a sharp knife flew out, brushed against her side, and stuck on the door panel.
The backstage of the auction was already in chaos: a large group of people were lying staggered on the ground, all of them were unconscious crew members, and the only person still standing was Mr. Xu, Xu Weiming, who was wearing a black suit.Opposite him, Mannan, who was wearing the uniform of the Operations Bureau of the Control Bureau, was panting with difficulty while resting on the ground with one hand.
Hearing the movement, the two turned their heads in unison.
Meng Nan shouted: "Captain!"
Xu Weiming also saw Fu Cheng.
For a moment, his expression became very strange, panic and astonishment flashed past, and what remained in the end was almost distorted anger.
As if...he knew this guy and hated him so much.
Fu Cheng strode in and helped Meng Nan up on the ground: "Are you all right?"
"I'm fine, captain." Meng Nan said quickly, his face was swollen, and his forehead was bleeding, "The key is in this man's hand! His ability is to control objects through the air, be careful!"
Before the words were finished, another huge machete with a length of [-] centimeters flew towards Fu Cheng at an extremely fast speed, aiming straight at Fu Cheng's head!
As soon as Fu Cheng turned to avoid it, the tip of the knife almost grazed his scalp, and hit the cabinet behind him, and the broken glass fell down with a crackle.
Before he could take a breath, the second knife was already in front of him.Fu Cheng turned over again, his shoulders were crushed by the broken glass, he gritted his teeth, stood up very quickly, drew his gun and shot——
"boom"!
Thanks to his previous work in the executive department, his mobile shooting ability is extremely good.
Fu Cheng was sure that he had hit his opponent.
However, Xu Weiming, who was hit by a bullet in the left chest, showed no signs of injury.He raised his hand with a grim expression, three sharp knives were hanging above his head, each blade was glowing coldly.
"What is he wearing?" Fu Cheng said immediately, pushing Meng Nan out, "Wang Xu, take care of him!"
Wang Xu glanced at Meng Nan.He clenched his fist, and the veins on his forehead protruded, but he ran over without saying a word, and dragged Meng Nan out.
The blades of the first and second flying knives have arrived.Fu Cheng ran and dodged continuously, and at the same time put the weapon in his hand back, and ran vigorously in the direction of Xu Weiming, and almost immediately looked at him face to face.
Xu Weiming sneered: "Are you courting death?"
The third knife was aimed at Fu Cheng and slashed head-on.
The distance was too close, and Fu Cheng had no room to dodge.
However, Fu Cheng did not move.
He allowed the knife to slash heavily on the head, without stopping at all, and pounded Xu Weiming's stomach hard.
"Uh!"
Xu Weiming suffered from pain and took a few steps back. Before he could stabilize his body, Fu Cheng swept his leg on the side of his neck again.
——It was only then that Nan Ting remembered that the ability of the captain of the Management and Control Bureau seemed to strengthen the body's functions, making the body surface immune to all external and physical damage.
In fact, he didn't need to dodge the previous few knives at all.The reason for doing that is entirely to confuse the opponent.
Xu Weiming suffered continuous heavy blows, and his cervical spine was almost dislocated, but he continued to roll on the ground several times, struggling to get up.He also seemed to have discovered the opponent's ability, but he still manipulated the three sharp knives again, stabbing randomly at Fu Cheng's body indiscriminately.
Nan Ting immediately understood his intention.
Xu Weiming is trying his luck, looking for the opponent's "weakness".
Almost everyone has a weakness in their abilities. Once the opponent's weakness is discovered, it can limit the opponent's performance in battle, limit the opponent's ability, invalidate, or even counterattack, thus putting him to death.
There are many kinds of weaknesses, some are extremely easy to detect, and some are very well hidden.The higher the genetic level of a person, the closer to perfection the ability is, and the smaller the weakness.
The reason why I say almost is because someone once put forward a conjecture based on the summary of existing knowledge: Since the higher the gene level, the weaker the weakness of the ability, then will there be a class of people in this world whose abilities are not different? Are there any weaknesses and no one can limit them?
In the eyes of the public, the research on supernatural powers in today's world is not comprehensive enough, and no one knows the answer.
But Nan Ting is very clear that the answer is "existence".
Because he is one of them.
However, it's not easy for an ability user with a gene level above A to be caught.Xu Weiming's three knives returned in vain. At the same time, he was finally completely restrained by Fu Cheng, and his hands were cut backwards and shackled.
Fu Cheng found the brass-colored key from his body.
"Wang Xu, keep this." He ordered.
Wang Xu walked over and took the key.
He watched silently as Fu Cheng kicked the staggered people aside and began to search the entire room, gritted his teeth, and suddenly said: "Why is it that I am the one who looks after the door and takes care of people every time I go out on a mission?!"
"?" Fu Cheng glanced at him, "Put away your things and don't lose them."
Wang Xu's whole body tensed up.For a moment, Nan Ting almost thought that he was going to rush to fight Fu Cheng.
But he didn't.
Wang Xu turned his head angrily, put away the keys, walked back to Nanting's water tank, and kicked the water tank hard.He stopped again, took two steps back, and suddenly drew out his gun again without warning, aiming directly at Nan Ting!
Nan Ting was stunned: "You—"
"boom"!
Without any pause, Wang Xu squeezed the trigger forcefully.
Fu Cheng suddenly turned around.
"Wang Xu, what are you doing?!" he shouted loudly.
There was a rattling sound in the room.
Nanting floated in the water unscathed.The bullet barely grazed the edge of the water tank, only shattering a glass in the room.
"What's going on?" Fu Cheng put down the things in his hands, and walked towards this side with big strides, "I haven't given the order yet, why did you act without authorization?"
Wang Xu raised his eyes.
"So I have to ask your opinion when I'm dealing with something, right?" He asked coldly, his eyes full of cruelty.
Fu Cheng was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that his heart was burning.
"Yes! I didn't let you participate in the battle!" He snatched the gun from Wang Xu's hand, pointed at the water tank in front of him, and shouted, "Do you see how close he is to you? Three meters! Three meters!! Even You can't even aim at such a close-range shooting, you ask me why I don't let you participate in the battle?!"
Wang Xu clenched his fists tightly, staring at his empty hand, without saying a word.
Nan Ting sank in the water, quietly watching the two people who were arguing.
In fact, Wang Xu did not make a shooting mistake.
It was he who manipulated the bullet.He severed its internal structure the moment it came out of the chamber, and reversed the direction of its fire.
However, Wang Xu seemed to have poor marksmanship, so he just covered up this little move for him.
Nan Ting didn't know why this human had such a strong and sudden hatred for him.
He obviously didn't know this person, and he didn't do anything wrong.
But this human being should be thankful that at the critical moment of life and death, his inner obsession with the task overwhelmed his desire to survive, preventing him from instinctively fighting back.
After all, at the moment of lightning, there were only two thoughts left in his mind:
"Never let the mission fail".
And "kill him".
However, before Nan Ting could breathe a sigh of relief, Fu Cheng shouted again: "Xiaoya!"
Darya appeared in response.
"Show him a demonstration!!" Fu Cheng was still angry and shouted loudly.
"Yes, Captain." Daria nodded.
As she walked, she drew out her gun and aimed at Nan Ting as well.
Nan Ting, who had just escaped, said, "..."
He opened his eyes slightly.
Daria met his gaze, settled down, and lowered her eyes again.
"I have to get rid of you, it's our policy." She said softly, "I'm sorry."
Her gaze went all the way down, lower and lower, but she suddenly touched something and stopped.
Daria's trigger finger froze.
"...captain," she called.
Fu Cheng: "What?"
"Captain, look at that thing..." Daria was inexplicably nervous, swallowed, and pointed at Nan Ting, "Look at that thing on the mermaid's neck, does it look like that abnormal item that was lost in the No. 4 vault ah."
Hearing this, Nan Ting subconsciously dodged backwards.
Daria's heart sank when she saw his movements.
An extremely terrifying conjecture suddenly appeared in her mind.
——From the very beginning, she felt that something was wrong with the mermaid in front of her, but she couldn't tell exactly what went wrong.
She can only emotionally evaluate it as "naive, ignorant and ignorant".
She guessed that he was too young and inexperienced to have any idea of death.
But how could such a mermaid wear something that was lost and belonged to the Aliens Society's vault?
Daria took a step back and slowly lowered the gun.
Now she seemed to finally understand.About why the other person never showed fear.
She guessed that another human had put it on for him.
Hearing this, Fu Cheng frowned, looked away from Wang Xu, and looked at the sash around Nan Ting's neck.
He was also silent, then took out a small instrument with a screen and a camera from his pocket, and scanned what was on Nan Ting's neck.
The instrument made a beep, and text began to appear on the screen.
[Image recognition... matching...]
[matched successfully]
[artificial vocal cord]
[ID: 29736421]
[Hazard Class: C]
[From the outside, it is a soft leather sash.Sampling studies have revealed that its underlying material includes the vocal cords of a merman. ]
[It allows the wearer to have a second vocal cord, that is, to produce two sounds at the same time.It was discovered in New Era 297 in a magic show with the participation of a C-class genetic person, who was using it to make two different sounds.It can only produce one sound, which is close to a gentle male voice. ]
[Experiments have shown that people with dysphonia can also use it to produce normal sounds. ]
[Potentially Dangerous: Not dangerous to non-humans.When worn by humans, there is a certain probability that the neck will be cut. ]
[Storage Location: No. 4 Vault]
Fu Cheng moved his lips, raised his eyes and glanced at Nan Ting who had shrunk into the bottom of the water.
He lowered his eyes again and read the last paragraph.
After a minute of silence, Fu Cheng's expression suddenly became extremely ugly.
[Special Note: This item was lost on November 322, NE 11 from the Committee's Anomalous Items Storage No. 2.Current suspected owner: [S extremely dangerous target] Wen Zhen. ]
Fu Cheng's eyes fell on the last two words.
One second, two seconds.He didn't speak.
Daria turned her head and looked at him nervously: "Captain..."
Fu Cheng took a deep breath, raised his head suddenly, and shouted at her and Wang Xu: "Retreat—retreat first!"
He retreated towards the door, quickly moved away from the water tank where Nan Ting was, stretched out his hand to give Meng Nan a hand, and at the same time dialed a call request with his superior.
But before the call could be connected, the accident happened without warning——
"boom"!
Fu Cheng's body froze in place.
He lowered his head slowly, looking somewhere below his left chest.
A blood hole appeared there, with a beautifully shaped bullet embedded in it, and blood was gushing out from the wound.
Daria's eyes widened.
She said in horror: "Captain!!"
At the same time, someone slowly walked out from the darkness behind the two.
Nan Ting flicked his tail and looked towards the door expectantly.
Glancing at it, he shrank back in disappointment.
The one standing at the door was not Wen Zhen whom he had been thinking about, but a stranger.
The stranger was wearing a gray windbreaker, boots, and a pair of dark black gloves. Most of his face was covered by a mask with an "X" on it. He was tall and slender, with half-waist-long hair.Even so, Nan Ting could tell from his body proportions that he was clearly a man.
"team leader!"
"Mr. X!!"
Two shouts sounded one after the other.
Mr. X turned the muzzle of the gun with his gloved hand, his eyes fell on Xu Weiming who called him, and he gave a soft "hmm".His voice sounded a little weird, as if it had been deliberately lowered.
He walked around Fu Cheng on the ground, walked towards Xu Weiming, bent down and helped him up.
Xu Weiming whispered: "Sorry, I couldn't..."
"It's none of your business here." Mr. X interrupted him rather coldly, and ordered the people around him, "Take him away."
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his head and glanced at Nan Ting in the water tank.
Their gazes collided, but Nan Ting did not retract his probing gaze.On the contrary, after getting closer, he observed the other party more carefully.
Because he always felt that this person gave him a sense of familiarity.
However, it was Mr. X who spoke first.Through that mask, Nan Ting could feel that he was looking at himself: "Who are you?"
So Nan Ting introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Nan Ting. I am a mermaid."
Mr. X: "..."
It worked so well that Mr. X immediately lost interest in him.
After Xu Weiming was taken away by Mr. X's men, the sound of chaotic footsteps began to come from outside the hall.Soon, the door of the hall was pushed open again, and a large group of people stood behind the door, including Chen Fei and his staff who were in the background before, a dozen panic-stricken buyers, and even some who had been hiding in the Beads in the clutter.
You Zhu saw Nan Ting at a glance, her eyes turned several times between him, Fu Cheng and Mr. X, her lips were trembling unceasingly, and her dark pupils were full of fear.
Mr. X walked slowly back to his side.
In stark contrast to his ease, Fu Cheng, who fell to the ground, and Daria, who was kneeling beside him.
Fu Cheng put his hands on the ground, turned over and sat up with difficulty.Blood was bubbling from the iron body, but he seemed to feel no pain. He raised his head and looked at Mr. X, his eyes were loose and confused.
"Who are you?" He almost murmured, "Who are you?"
Daria panicked and reached out to cover Fu Cheng's wound, but it didn't help at all.
She also knew in her heart that this was the weakness of the captain's ability: he was firm all over, except for the third rib on the lower left.
Once a sharp blow is received here, irreversible damage will occur, and any medicine will have no effect on the wound here, and it can only heal itself after an hour.
——But this stranger in front of him, this weakness called "Mr. X", how could he know such a secret thing?
For a while, the battlefield was divided into three parties, and the situation became even more chaotic.
Nan Ting took advantage of the confrontation between the two sides and had no time to care about himself, so he quietly supported the wall with his hands and pushed himself to the corner.
When he searched all the cabinets with his eyes, trying to find where the Bird of Paradise was hidden, Daria and Mengnan on the other side suddenly attacked Mr. X at the same time.
The whole room fell into chaos again, but Nan Ting had no time to distract himself to watch the battle over there.His eyes flicked across the cabinet.
He couldn't get the brass-colored key now, so he could only do the next best thing, find the bird of paradise hidden by Xu Weiming, and throw it out to attract the attention of both parties.
Neither Daria nor Mannan were obviously Mr. X's opponents.Nan Ting didn't need to be distracted to watch, he could feel that they were retreating steadily.
When he found the third cabinet, the water tank was hit violently.
——The injured Meng Nan stumbled backwards, hitting the water tank right in time.He didn't move after putting his whole body on it, and the glass of the water tank was soon smeared with blood.
Nan Ting hesitated.
He carefully stretched out a finger and poked the person stuck to the glass.Seeing that there was no response from the person, he simply used some force and poked him down.
Only the last cabinet remains.Nan Ting thought, glanced at the battlefield at the other end of the room, and found that Fu Cheng was struggling to stand up from the ground, protecting Daria behind him.
"Leave us alone! You go first!" He heard Fu Cheng growl in a low voice, "Wait for them to come - they will come soon!"
Mr. X's voice was still deliberately suppressed.
"Wait for who?" he asked.
Nan Ting turned his gaze back to the last cabinet.
Then he saw Wang Xu, who had never participated in the battle, standing in front of the cabinet.
The cabinet door was wide open, and the contents inside were scattered everywhere. Wang Xu held the brass key in his left hand, and an exquisite birdcage in his right.
He looked at the things in his hands with a weird and distorted expression, as if he was laughing triumphantly, but also as if he was about to cry.
Nan Ting called out: "You—"
Attracted by his voice, the people at the other end of the room looked over in unison.
Both Fu Cheng and Daria looked stunned, and even Mr. X seemed to be stunned.
"Wang Xu!" Fu Cheng keenly sensed something was wrong, and habitually shouted, "What are you doing?"
"I've completed the task, captain." It took Wang Xu a while to answer, his voice trembling with excitement, "I've completed the task, how is it? I finished it earlier than all of you."
Mr. X glanced at him. "Back off." He whispered to the people behind him.
"What do you want to do? Don't be stupid." Fu Cheng frowned, "Throw away the specimen! Stay away from that mermaid!"
Daria also yelled: "Wang Xu! Don't get close to that mermaid! We were all deceived by him, he is the one sent by Wen Zhen!!"
Nan Ting: "??"
He touched the sash around his neck and suddenly realized that he couldn't explain it.
"what?"
A voice suddenly sounded in the room.
The voice is ethereal and ethereal, as if from another world.
Everyone was stunned.
Wang Xu slowly lowered his head.He heard the specimen in his hand talking.
"What did you say?" The bird of paradise in the cage asked again, and after getting no response, it turned its stiff head to Nan Ting again, "Little mermaid, is what that guy said true?"
Nan Ting: "..."
"Is what that person said true?" Its voice suddenly rose, "So you and Wen Zhen have a good relationship?"
Nan Ting retorted subconsciously: "What are you talking about?"
Bird of Paradise said coldly: "Wen Zhen sent you here? What is the relationship between you two?!"
"No..." Nan Ting was tongue-tied, "I said it before. I just came out from home to play..."
"Oh, you came out from Wen Zhen's house to play?" Bird of Paradise hit the nail on the head.
"..."
Nan Ting was speechless.
In fact, he said something similar himself.I didn't think there was anything wrong when I explained it to others alone before, but now there are so many people standing in the room, everyone has heard what the Bird of Paradise said.
He felt an untimely embarrassment.
This is just great.Now everyone knows that he lives in Wen Zhen's house and is a collector's item.
The author has something to say:
Mermaid Breeding Day7
If you want to show affection to your merman, just tell him secretly.He might feel shy if he said it in front of other people.

This weekend, 9k has been updated, I hope you can enjoy watching~
(Actually, it is for Xiaowen to make his debut at position C tomorrow)
-
It wasn't until he saw the woman in front of him stuffing the electric shock gun back, and then pulling out the live ammunition gun to point it at himself, that he realized that "handling" meant that the other party planned to kill him.
Nan Ting: "...?"
His first reaction was not panic, but rather strange—in his memory, the Control Bureau had very low authority, and they were not qualified to execute people above D-level when their lives were not threatened.
Not even criminals.
What's more, I am not a criminal.
But now he can't blatantly reprimand the other party, "Why didn't you abide by the regulations? How did you pass the assessment", or just directly teach the other party a lesson, so he had to stretch out his hand.
Daria was immediately alert: "What are you doing?"
Nan Ting paused for a moment, retracted four fingers, and then continued to reach out.Not knowing whether his appearance was too deceptive or his actions were too gentle, Daria seemed to have forgotten that he was the "dangerous species" they called, and she didn't avoid his hand for a while.
So he gently poked her gun with the remaining finger.
"Can you stop pointing it at me?" he said in an "I'm hungry" tone. "I'm kind of scared."
Daria: "..."
Daria: "?"
"Uh..." She didn't know how to answer for a while, and finally choked out a sentence, "Sorry, we are on official business.
Wang Xu gave her a white look: "Moji."
"Then can you let me go?" Nan Ting said, thought for a while, and explained the cause and effect, "I came out to play at home, but they caught me on the boat. I want to go home now."
Daria: "...Huh?"
The other party's tone was so light that she was a little confused for a moment, not knowing whether she was on official business or visiting the aquarium.
Wang Xu on the side sneered, and snatched the gun from Darya's hand: "If you don't dare to deal with it, don't waste your time here! What are you dawdling about!"
Nan Ting just glanced at him, then spoke again, still in a flat tone: "I can take you upstairs, I know where what you are looking for is."
After finishing speaking, as if he remembered it after a while, he added another sentence: "Can you not kill me?"
There was an eerie silence in the room.
Daria stared at the merman in the tank.
It was the first time she had seen a dangerous species behave so calmly before dying, as if... had no conception of impending death.
And Wang Xu held up the gun, but he didn't pull the trigger for a long time.
For the merman was looking at him with those golden eyes, and he had an inexplicable emotion from it.
A feeling of being condescending and looking down on.
Finally, Fu Cheng spoke first.
"Don't touch him yet." He said to Wang Xu, then turned to Nan Ting, his sharp eagle eyes narrowed, "Who are you?"
"My home is nearby." Nan Ting said vaguely, "When I was out to play, I was captured by the people on this boat. They wanted to sell me."
Fu Cheng stared at his hands and tail covered with waterproof bandages, as if weighing the authenticity of his words.
He doesn't seem to agree with Nan Ting's method: "My question is who are you."
"My name is Nan Ting."
"I didn't ask you what your name is, just tell me your own identity."
Nan Ting was a little dazed. "I'm a mermaid," he whispered.
Fu Cheng was speechless: "..."
He had never been in contact with mermaids before, and today he realized for the first time that he might have a communication problem with this race.
Daria on the side listened impatiently. "Captain," she interrupted, "we have something more important to do!"
She told Fu Cheng exactly what she asked and guessed from the two people on the ground.After finishing speaking, he couldn't help secretly observing Fu Cheng's expression.
Sure enough, after hearing that name, Fu Cheng's expression changed instantly.
It seems that what Wang Xu said is likely to be true.Darya thought.
She asked cautiously: "Then, captain, now is a special period, do we need to report the situation immediately?"
"After reporting, the highest official will come to the scene to supervise the work immediately. Don't report without substantive evidence, unless you want Mr. Chi to make a futile trip."
"No, no, forget it." Daria said repeatedly, "3 minutes ago, the intelligence department gave me new feedback. This cruise ship is called Liberty, and it is registered. The owner Xu Weiming, male, 31 years old, genetic Level B, the rest of the information is unknown. The registration time was three years ago, and it belongs to a travel company... first ask that mermaid what she knows."
Wang Xu said, "You really want to ask him? I don't think he can even understand your question."
Daria ignored him and turned to Nan Ting.
The mermaid in the water tank has a pair of amber-like golden eyes, which are filled with tiny, indecipherable emotions. The eyes looking at her are full of curiosity, innocent and ignorant.She was softened by such eyes almost immediately, and her tone became gentle involuntarily: "What do you know?"
But the mermaid said to her, "What do you want to know?"
Wang Xu laughed loudly from the side.
"Do you know who is on this ship?" Daria asked, as if he was afraid that he could not understand, and then put it another way, "The people who captured you, are there any leaders? What are they? like?"
"Yes." Nan Ting said, "There is a man named Mr. Xu, you have his photo in your hand. Most of the affairs on the ship are presided over by him."
Fu Cheng couldn't help but glanced at him again.
The logic of the speech is clear, completely different from the state when I was talking to myself just now.he thinks.
"most?"
"On the surface, he is in charge." Nan Ting said, "but there is a man named 'Mr. X' behind him, who should be the real owner of the ship. reaction, they were all terrified of him."
Daria's pupils shrank slightly, and she turned to Fu Cheng and asked, "Captain Fu...?"
"Ask him if he knows the key." Fu Cheng said.
"Don't need to figure out that X..."
"It's okay." Fu Cheng said, "I'm sure."
His self-confidence is justified: as an action team leader with a gene level of A, in the world of ordinary people, it is almost impossible to find anyone with better abilities than him.
And people who are better than him are all working in the Alien Management Association and will not become his opponents.
Darya clearly believed in her captain, too.She lowered her head and rummaged in her bag for a while, then turned to Nan Ting again, with an extra piece of paper in her hand: "Have you seen this?"
On the paper was a photograph of a brass-colored key.
Nan Ting said, "I've seen it."
"where is it?"
"In the hands of Mr. Xu."
Nan Ting remembered that when the auction was in progress, someone handed the key to Mr. Xu, saying that it was the buyer No. 7 who gave it to him.
"What about the stuffed bird of paradise? Do you know where it is?"
"Backstage at the auction on the third floor. Was there when I left, not sure if it's been moved now."
Daria frowned. "What kind of tricks is this No. 7 playing?" She said to herself, "Captain Fu, what should we do now?"
"Action, get the key back first." After thinking for a while, Fu Cheng ordered, "Don't approach the specimen without the key. No matter what happens, never use the key to open the cage door—don't forget the specimen's identity." The danger level is S."
Nan Ting was taken aback, and almost immediately thought of what the Bird of Paradise said earlier.
I will take revenge on his followers...
What exactly is it trying to do?
Daria: "Yes!"
Wang Xu had a sullen face and didn't respond.He looked down at the gun in his hand, threw it back to Daria, then drew his weapon and pointed it at Nan Ting.
"Come out," he said, "and lead the way."
Nan Ting shook his head: "I'm not an adult yet."
"The regulations on the protection of minors don't seem to apply to you, right?" Wang Xu said coldly, "Hurry up, stop dawdling."
"Wang Xu, don't attack him." Daria couldn't help but blamed, and then asked Nan Ting, "You haven't grown any legs yet, have you?"
Nan Ting nodded.
He didn't have to explain more.After all, they wouldn't doubt his age.
"It's okay." Daria said warmly, "Wang Xu, you can push him away."
Wang Xu's expression changed, and he immediately exploded: "Are you sick? I—"
"Just do as she said." Fu Cheng ordered, "Xiaoya, find the way ahead. I'll contact Meng Nan, he's still upstairs to attract attention, and he might run into that guy surnamed Xu."
Wang Xu originally wanted to say something, but when he raised his eyes, he met Fu Cheng's stern gaze.
He had no choice but to swallow the words back to his stomach, walked over to push Nanting's water tank with a stinky face.
"I'll show you the way later." Nan Ting said.
Daria nodded.She packed her things, walked in front of everyone, opened the door of the box, and then quietly disappeared into the empty corridor.
The soundproofing effect of the box is very good.After opening the door, Nan Ting heard the sound outside: there was a lot of noise upstairs, someone was running fast, accompanied by the sound of shouting, gunshots and broken glass.
"Take the first staircase on the right and go left after you get out," he said.
After talking and observing for just a few minutes, he already had a simple understanding of the operation team of the Control Bureau:
The team member Daria has strong action ability and good execution ability.The ability is stealth, and from the effect of the ability, the gene level should be around B.As a female team member, she seems to speak better than others.
Team member Meng Nan's ability gene level is unknown, but his ability should not be weak, otherwise he would not be sent to attract the attention of other people on board.
Team member Wang Xu has a bad temper and low obedience.The ability and genetic level are not clear, but they should not be high.Doesn't seem to be entrusted with a lot of responsibility.
There is also Captain Fu Cheng, whose genetic level is higher than Wang Xu, because this is the minimum requirement to join the executive department.
His ability is related to the strengthening of body functions, but Nan Ting can't remember the specific effect clearly - this is not what Nan Ting observed, but he just read this person's information.
For a person who needs to fight all year round, his ability and specific effects are actually a secret that needs to be kept, not public information that everyone can understand.It's just that Nanting's authority in the base is really high, he can basically see what Chi can see, and sometimes Chi will use his authority to show him what he can't see.
From Boss Li, we can know that this action team is the team responsible for the case of the lost bird of paradise specimen.
And their primary purpose is to get the key that can open the birdcage, which means that getting this key can affect the danger of the abnormal item, the bird of paradise specimen.Combined with what the bird of paradise said earlier, once it is released from the cage, it is likely to attack a specific target.
It's just that the people in the action team don't know that the target of the Bird of Paradise is likely to be the buyer of the ship-it regards them as Wen Zhen's "believers" and wants to take revenge on them indirectly.
Nan Ting decided to go backstage later, and find a way to get the key before the Control Bureau team.
He didn't trust this group of people who, for some reason, wanted to kill him as soon as they came up.
Getting the key means that he has the guarantee of delaying time.
——Delay until Wen Zhen, who designed all this, is willing to help.
Under Nan Ting's command, the three-person team of the action team quickly approached the backstage of the auction on the third floor.
On the way, Daria was the first to encounter several buyers who realized that something was wrong and tried to escape, and she easily solved them one by one with sedative drugs.
When she put it away and checked the messages habitually, she suddenly found a message from Fu Cheng on the communicator:
[After getting the key, dispose of the mermaid first, this is the rule.Don't reveal your purpose until then, or he may not cooperate. ]
Daria was taken aback.
[receive. ] she finally replied.
The atmosphere in the corridor was tense.The closer they got to the backstage of the auction, the more nervous the three members of the Control Bureau team were.
Daria, who was invisible, was still the first one to open the door.Just as the door was pulled open a small crack, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air, and then there was a crisp "Dang", a sharp knife flew out, brushed against her side, and stuck on the door panel.
The backstage of the auction was already in chaos: a large group of people were lying staggered on the ground, all of them were unconscious crew members, and the only person still standing was Mr. Xu, Xu Weiming, who was wearing a black suit.Opposite him, Mannan, who was wearing the uniform of the Operations Bureau of the Control Bureau, was panting with difficulty while resting on the ground with one hand.
Hearing the movement, the two turned their heads in unison.
Meng Nan shouted: "Captain!"
Xu Weiming also saw Fu Cheng.
For a moment, his expression became very strange, panic and astonishment flashed past, and what remained in the end was almost distorted anger.
As if...he knew this guy and hated him so much.
Fu Cheng strode in and helped Meng Nan up on the ground: "Are you all right?"
"I'm fine, captain." Meng Nan said quickly, his face was swollen, and his forehead was bleeding, "The key is in this man's hand! His ability is to control objects through the air, be careful!"
Before the words were finished, another huge machete with a length of [-] centimeters flew towards Fu Cheng at an extremely fast speed, aiming straight at Fu Cheng's head!
As soon as Fu Cheng turned to avoid it, the tip of the knife almost grazed his scalp, and hit the cabinet behind him, and the broken glass fell down with a crackle.
Before he could take a breath, the second knife was already in front of him.Fu Cheng turned over again, his shoulders were crushed by the broken glass, he gritted his teeth, stood up very quickly, drew his gun and shot——
"boom"!
Thanks to his previous work in the executive department, his mobile shooting ability is extremely good.
Fu Cheng was sure that he had hit his opponent.
However, Xu Weiming, who was hit by a bullet in the left chest, showed no signs of injury.He raised his hand with a grim expression, three sharp knives were hanging above his head, each blade was glowing coldly.
"What is he wearing?" Fu Cheng said immediately, pushing Meng Nan out, "Wang Xu, take care of him!"
Wang Xu glanced at Meng Nan.He clenched his fist, and the veins on his forehead protruded, but he ran over without saying a word, and dragged Meng Nan out.
The blades of the first and second flying knives have arrived.Fu Cheng ran and dodged continuously, and at the same time put the weapon in his hand back, and ran vigorously in the direction of Xu Weiming, and almost immediately looked at him face to face.
Xu Weiming sneered: "Are you courting death?"
The third knife was aimed at Fu Cheng and slashed head-on.
The distance was too close, and Fu Cheng had no room to dodge.
However, Fu Cheng did not move.
He allowed the knife to slash heavily on the head, without stopping at all, and pounded Xu Weiming's stomach hard.
"Uh!"
Xu Weiming suffered from pain and took a few steps back. Before he could stabilize his body, Fu Cheng swept his leg on the side of his neck again.
——It was only then that Nan Ting remembered that the ability of the captain of the Management and Control Bureau seemed to strengthen the body's functions, making the body surface immune to all external and physical damage.
In fact, he didn't need to dodge the previous few knives at all.The reason for doing that is entirely to confuse the opponent.
Xu Weiming suffered continuous heavy blows, and his cervical spine was almost dislocated, but he continued to roll on the ground several times, struggling to get up.He also seemed to have discovered the opponent's ability, but he still manipulated the three sharp knives again, stabbing randomly at Fu Cheng's body indiscriminately.
Nan Ting immediately understood his intention.
Xu Weiming is trying his luck, looking for the opponent's "weakness".
Almost everyone has a weakness in their abilities. Once the opponent's weakness is discovered, it can limit the opponent's performance in battle, limit the opponent's ability, invalidate, or even counterattack, thus putting him to death.
There are many kinds of weaknesses, some are extremely easy to detect, and some are very well hidden.The higher the genetic level of a person, the closer to perfection the ability is, and the smaller the weakness.
The reason why I say almost is because someone once put forward a conjecture based on the summary of existing knowledge: Since the higher the gene level, the weaker the weakness of the ability, then will there be a class of people in this world whose abilities are not different? Are there any weaknesses and no one can limit them?
In the eyes of the public, the research on supernatural powers in today's world is not comprehensive enough, and no one knows the answer.
But Nan Ting is very clear that the answer is "existence".
Because he is one of them.
However, it's not easy for an ability user with a gene level above A to be caught.Xu Weiming's three knives returned in vain. At the same time, he was finally completely restrained by Fu Cheng, and his hands were cut backwards and shackled.
Fu Cheng found the brass-colored key from his body.
"Wang Xu, keep this." He ordered.
Wang Xu walked over and took the key.
He watched silently as Fu Cheng kicked the staggered people aside and began to search the entire room, gritted his teeth, and suddenly said: "Why is it that I am the one who looks after the door and takes care of people every time I go out on a mission?!"
"?" Fu Cheng glanced at him, "Put away your things and don't lose them."
Wang Xu's whole body tensed up.For a moment, Nan Ting almost thought that he was going to rush to fight Fu Cheng.
But he didn't.
Wang Xu turned his head angrily, put away the keys, walked back to Nanting's water tank, and kicked the water tank hard.He stopped again, took two steps back, and suddenly drew out his gun again without warning, aiming directly at Nan Ting!
Nan Ting was stunned: "You—"
"boom"!
Without any pause, Wang Xu squeezed the trigger forcefully.
Fu Cheng suddenly turned around.
"Wang Xu, what are you doing?!" he shouted loudly.
There was a rattling sound in the room.
Nanting floated in the water unscathed.The bullet barely grazed the edge of the water tank, only shattering a glass in the room.
"What's going on?" Fu Cheng put down the things in his hands, and walked towards this side with big strides, "I haven't given the order yet, why did you act without authorization?"
Wang Xu raised his eyes.
"So I have to ask your opinion when I'm dealing with something, right?" He asked coldly, his eyes full of cruelty.
Fu Cheng was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that his heart was burning.
"Yes! I didn't let you participate in the battle!" He snatched the gun from Wang Xu's hand, pointed at the water tank in front of him, and shouted, "Do you see how close he is to you? Three meters! Three meters!! Even You can't even aim at such a close-range shooting, you ask me why I don't let you participate in the battle?!"
Wang Xu clenched his fists tightly, staring at his empty hand, without saying a word.
Nan Ting sank in the water, quietly watching the two people who were arguing.
In fact, Wang Xu did not make a shooting mistake.
It was he who manipulated the bullet.He severed its internal structure the moment it came out of the chamber, and reversed the direction of its fire.
However, Wang Xu seemed to have poor marksmanship, so he just covered up this little move for him.
Nan Ting didn't know why this human had such a strong and sudden hatred for him.
He obviously didn't know this person, and he didn't do anything wrong.
But this human being should be thankful that at the critical moment of life and death, his inner obsession with the task overwhelmed his desire to survive, preventing him from instinctively fighting back.
After all, at the moment of lightning, there were only two thoughts left in his mind:
"Never let the mission fail".
And "kill him".
However, before Nan Ting could breathe a sigh of relief, Fu Cheng shouted again: "Xiaoya!"
Darya appeared in response.
"Show him a demonstration!!" Fu Cheng was still angry and shouted loudly.
"Yes, Captain." Daria nodded.
As she walked, she drew out her gun and aimed at Nan Ting as well.
Nan Ting, who had just escaped, said, "..."
He opened his eyes slightly.
Daria met his gaze, settled down, and lowered her eyes again.
"I have to get rid of you, it's our policy." She said softly, "I'm sorry."
Her gaze went all the way down, lower and lower, but she suddenly touched something and stopped.
Daria's trigger finger froze.
"...captain," she called.
Fu Cheng: "What?"
"Captain, look at that thing..." Daria was inexplicably nervous, swallowed, and pointed at Nan Ting, "Look at that thing on the mermaid's neck, does it look like that abnormal item that was lost in the No. 4 vault ah."
Hearing this, Nan Ting subconsciously dodged backwards.
Daria's heart sank when she saw his movements.
An extremely terrifying conjecture suddenly appeared in her mind.
——From the very beginning, she felt that something was wrong with the mermaid in front of her, but she couldn't tell exactly what went wrong.
She can only emotionally evaluate it as "naive, ignorant and ignorant".
She guessed that he was too young and inexperienced to have any idea of death.
But how could such a mermaid wear something that was lost and belonged to the Aliens Society's vault?
Daria took a step back and slowly lowered the gun.
Now she seemed to finally understand.About why the other person never showed fear.
She guessed that another human had put it on for him.
Hearing this, Fu Cheng frowned, looked away from Wang Xu, and looked at the sash around Nan Ting's neck.
He was also silent, then took out a small instrument with a screen and a camera from his pocket, and scanned what was on Nan Ting's neck.
The instrument made a beep, and text began to appear on the screen.
[Image recognition... matching...]
[matched successfully]
[artificial vocal cord]
[ID: 29736421]
[Hazard Class: C]
[From the outside, it is a soft leather sash.Sampling studies have revealed that its underlying material includes the vocal cords of a merman. ]
[It allows the wearer to have a second vocal cord, that is, to produce two sounds at the same time.It was discovered in New Era 297 in a magic show with the participation of a C-class genetic person, who was using it to make two different sounds.It can only produce one sound, which is close to a gentle male voice. ]
[Experiments have shown that people with dysphonia can also use it to produce normal sounds. ]
[Potentially Dangerous: Not dangerous to non-humans.When worn by humans, there is a certain probability that the neck will be cut. ]
[Storage Location: No. 4 Vault]
Fu Cheng moved his lips, raised his eyes and glanced at Nan Ting who had shrunk into the bottom of the water.
He lowered his eyes again and read the last paragraph.
After a minute of silence, Fu Cheng's expression suddenly became extremely ugly.
[Special Note: This item was lost on November 322, NE 11 from the Committee's Anomalous Items Storage No. 2.Current suspected owner: [S extremely dangerous target] Wen Zhen. ]
Fu Cheng's eyes fell on the last two words.
One second, two seconds.He didn't speak.
Daria turned her head and looked at him nervously: "Captain..."
Fu Cheng took a deep breath, raised his head suddenly, and shouted at her and Wang Xu: "Retreat—retreat first!"
He retreated towards the door, quickly moved away from the water tank where Nan Ting was, stretched out his hand to give Meng Nan a hand, and at the same time dialed a call request with his superior.
But before the call could be connected, the accident happened without warning——
"boom"!
Fu Cheng's body froze in place.
He lowered his head slowly, looking somewhere below his left chest.
A blood hole appeared there, with a beautifully shaped bullet embedded in it, and blood was gushing out from the wound.
Daria's eyes widened.
She said in horror: "Captain!!"
At the same time, someone slowly walked out from the darkness behind the two.
Nan Ting flicked his tail and looked towards the door expectantly.
Glancing at it, he shrank back in disappointment.
The one standing at the door was not Wen Zhen whom he had been thinking about, but a stranger.
The stranger was wearing a gray windbreaker, boots, and a pair of dark black gloves. Most of his face was covered by a mask with an "X" on it. He was tall and slender, with half-waist-long hair.Even so, Nan Ting could tell from his body proportions that he was clearly a man.
"team leader!"
"Mr. X!!"
Two shouts sounded one after the other.
Mr. X turned the muzzle of the gun with his gloved hand, his eyes fell on Xu Weiming who called him, and he gave a soft "hmm".His voice sounded a little weird, as if it had been deliberately lowered.
He walked around Fu Cheng on the ground, walked towards Xu Weiming, bent down and helped him up.
Xu Weiming whispered: "Sorry, I couldn't..."
"It's none of your business here." Mr. X interrupted him rather coldly, and ordered the people around him, "Take him away."
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his head and glanced at Nan Ting in the water tank.
Their gazes collided, but Nan Ting did not retract his probing gaze.On the contrary, after getting closer, he observed the other party more carefully.
Because he always felt that this person gave him a sense of familiarity.
However, it was Mr. X who spoke first.Through that mask, Nan Ting could feel that he was looking at himself: "Who are you?"
So Nan Ting introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Nan Ting. I am a mermaid."
Mr. X: "..."
It worked so well that Mr. X immediately lost interest in him.
After Xu Weiming was taken away by Mr. X's men, the sound of chaotic footsteps began to come from outside the hall.Soon, the door of the hall was pushed open again, and a large group of people stood behind the door, including Chen Fei and his staff who were in the background before, a dozen panic-stricken buyers, and even some who had been hiding in the Beads in the clutter.
You Zhu saw Nan Ting at a glance, her eyes turned several times between him, Fu Cheng and Mr. X, her lips were trembling unceasingly, and her dark pupils were full of fear.
Mr. X walked slowly back to his side.
In stark contrast to his ease, Fu Cheng, who fell to the ground, and Daria, who was kneeling beside him.
Fu Cheng put his hands on the ground, turned over and sat up with difficulty.Blood was bubbling from the iron body, but he seemed to feel no pain. He raised his head and looked at Mr. X, his eyes were loose and confused.
"Who are you?" He almost murmured, "Who are you?"
Daria panicked and reached out to cover Fu Cheng's wound, but it didn't help at all.
She also knew in her heart that this was the weakness of the captain's ability: he was firm all over, except for the third rib on the lower left.
Once a sharp blow is received here, irreversible damage will occur, and any medicine will have no effect on the wound here, and it can only heal itself after an hour.
——But this stranger in front of him, this weakness called "Mr. X", how could he know such a secret thing?
For a while, the battlefield was divided into three parties, and the situation became even more chaotic.
Nan Ting took advantage of the confrontation between the two sides and had no time to care about himself, so he quietly supported the wall with his hands and pushed himself to the corner.
When he searched all the cabinets with his eyes, trying to find where the Bird of Paradise was hidden, Daria and Mengnan on the other side suddenly attacked Mr. X at the same time.
The whole room fell into chaos again, but Nan Ting had no time to distract himself to watch the battle over there.His eyes flicked across the cabinet.
He couldn't get the brass-colored key now, so he could only do the next best thing, find the bird of paradise hidden by Xu Weiming, and throw it out to attract the attention of both parties.
Neither Daria nor Mannan were obviously Mr. X's opponents.Nan Ting didn't need to be distracted to watch, he could feel that they were retreating steadily.
When he found the third cabinet, the water tank was hit violently.
——The injured Meng Nan stumbled backwards, hitting the water tank right in time.He didn't move after putting his whole body on it, and the glass of the water tank was soon smeared with blood.
Nan Ting hesitated.
He carefully stretched out a finger and poked the person stuck to the glass.Seeing that there was no response from the person, he simply used some force and poked him down.
Only the last cabinet remains.Nan Ting thought, glanced at the battlefield at the other end of the room, and found that Fu Cheng was struggling to stand up from the ground, protecting Daria behind him.
"Leave us alone! You go first!" He heard Fu Cheng growl in a low voice, "Wait for them to come - they will come soon!"
Mr. X's voice was still deliberately suppressed.
"Wait for who?" he asked.
Nan Ting turned his gaze back to the last cabinet.
Then he saw Wang Xu, who had never participated in the battle, standing in front of the cabinet.
The cabinet door was wide open, and the contents inside were scattered everywhere. Wang Xu held the brass key in his left hand, and an exquisite birdcage in his right.
He looked at the things in his hands with a weird and distorted expression, as if he was laughing triumphantly, but also as if he was about to cry.
Nan Ting called out: "You—"
Attracted by his voice, the people at the other end of the room looked over in unison.
Both Fu Cheng and Daria looked stunned, and even Mr. X seemed to be stunned.
"Wang Xu!" Fu Cheng keenly sensed something was wrong, and habitually shouted, "What are you doing?"
"I've completed the task, captain." It took Wang Xu a while to answer, his voice trembling with excitement, "I've completed the task, how is it? I finished it earlier than all of you."
Mr. X glanced at him. "Back off." He whispered to the people behind him.
"What do you want to do? Don't be stupid." Fu Cheng frowned, "Throw away the specimen! Stay away from that mermaid!"
Daria also yelled: "Wang Xu! Don't get close to that mermaid! We were all deceived by him, he is the one sent by Wen Zhen!!"
Nan Ting: "??"
He touched the sash around his neck and suddenly realized that he couldn't explain it.
"what?"
A voice suddenly sounded in the room.
The voice is ethereal and ethereal, as if from another world.
Everyone was stunned.
Wang Xu slowly lowered his head.He heard the specimen in his hand talking.
"What did you say?" The bird of paradise in the cage asked again, and after getting no response, it turned its stiff head to Nan Ting again, "Little mermaid, is what that guy said true?"
Nan Ting: "..."
"Is what that person said true?" Its voice suddenly rose, "So you and Wen Zhen have a good relationship?"
Nan Ting retorted subconsciously: "What are you talking about?"
Bird of Paradise said coldly: "Wen Zhen sent you here? What is the relationship between you two?!"
"No..." Nan Ting was tongue-tied, "I said it before. I just came out from home to play..."
"Oh, you came out from Wen Zhen's house to play?" Bird of Paradise hit the nail on the head.
"..."
Nan Ting was speechless.
In fact, he said something similar himself.I didn't think there was anything wrong when I explained it to others alone before, but now there are so many people standing in the room, everyone has heard what the Bird of Paradise said.
He felt an untimely embarrassment.
This is just great.Now everyone knows that he lives in Wen Zhen's house and is a collector's item.
The author has something to say:
