pure white believer

After the resounding words, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

Nan Ting quietly poked his head out from behind Wen Zhen, his eyes scanned all the people in the hall, and found that only a few showed expressions of astonishment, while the rest of them were still puzzled.

After a long time, Mr. X, or Luan Tan, finally spoke.

"Yes, I'm still alive." He said calmly, "So?"

"So those rumors are true? Are the deaths of the two of them really related to you?" Fu Cheng asked like a cannonball, almost screaming, "You cheated the Alien Management Committee, me, and everyone by feigning death. people?!"

"Their deaths are indeed my fault." Luan Tan said calmly.

Fu Cheng stared at him firmly, as if he was telling some Arabian Nights.

"Then...you..." He gritted his teeth, as if trying to grab the last straw, "You are really like what they said...you and him..."

He turned his head and looked at Wen Zhen.

Nan Ting suddenly felt that it was justifiable for his subordinate to be so angry.

If it were me, I would be angry too.

For every member of the Aliens Society, the Aliens Society is a great, upright, and supreme existence.

It should be their belief, but judging from the current situation, Luan Tan seems to have abandoned his belief.

He is a traitor.

But the traitor actually smiled.

"Isn't that good?" Luan Tan said, "I have always respected Mr. Wen."

Wen Zhen coughed in a timely manner.

"It's really nasty." He said to Nan Ting.

Nan Ting: "..."

He watched as all Fu Cheng's anger froze on his face in an instant, and then shattered inch by inch.

It was a look of broken faith.

Fu Cheng almost felt that he was dreaming.

Ever since his teacher "sacrificed" in the mission, every day for the past three years, even though he had already been transferred from the Executive Department to the Control Bureau, he always had only one thought in his mind: revenge on Wen Zhen for his teacher.

This is almost the belief that supports him to live.

"I, then, believe you." Fu Cheng paused every word, gnashing his teeth, "I regard your words as my standard..."

and then?

Then I was told that the belief you held for him was worthless in his eyes.

Nan Ting looked at Fu Cheng's face that turned green and pale for a while, and felt that the captain was on the verge of collapse.

He suddenly remembered that one afternoon many years ago, when he was lying in his pool, looking through a certain material related to Wen Zhen, he accidentally found a handwritten note that had been copied.

The note was neat and immature, making people guess that its owner should be a good student with excellent grades.

Yet it reads: "Destroying my enemies doesn't seem to amuse me. Maybe watching them destroy themselves would be more interesting."

A note was attached to the side of the note:

[On February 315, 2, an incomplete page of a diary was found in a certain former residence of Wen Zhen. ]

[In addition, the diary was written in November 309, when Wen Zhen was 11 years old. ]

Nan Ting couldn't help raising his eyes to look at Wen Zhen, and found that the other party was looking at Fu Cheng with a satisfied smile, like a director enjoying the last shot of his finished movie.

Fifteen years on, he's still fascinated by "watching them self-destruct".

"Is it enough to talk about the past?" Wen Zhen asked, breaking the stalemate between the two, "I still have things to do."

As if he finally remembered that there was such a person in the room, Fu Cheng suddenly turned around.

Wen Zhen ignored him.He said to Luan Tan: "The money has already been paid, so it's not too much for me to take away what I bought."

Luan Tan was silent.His face was a little pale, and he didn't look as calm as his tone: "Something...is outside."

He looked towards the blood-oozing door.

The Bird of Paradise is behind that door.

Due to the lack of effective control means, whoever steps out of this door now will die.

Wen Zhen let out a "hmm", as if he didn't take it seriously at all.He turned to Nan Ting again: "go together?"

Nan Ting nodded.

"Alright." Wen Zhen said, "Troublesome people are coming soon."

"Troublesome people?"

Wen Zhen was vague: "You don't know."

"You lead the way." He said to Fu Cheng on the ground, "The key to the birdcage is in your hands."

Fu Cheng was still angry.He looked like he really wanted to jump up and beat Wen Zhen up, but the wound on his abdomen prevented him from doing so: "Why should I—"

"I'll do it." Luan Tan interrupted him.

He took off his gloves, put them in his pockets, and walked towards the door leading to the escape pod.The people in the room automatically stepped back to make way for him.

"Take it as an apology." Before opening the door, Luan Tan turned around and said, "I hope you don't care about the mistakes made by the people on board."

Wen Zhen pushed Nan Ting out from behind: "If you want to apologize, you should apologize to him, not me."

Looking at each other, Nan Ting lowered his gaze.

It seems that it was just a coincidence that I was picked up by this group of people.he thinks.

Although Wen Zhen is indifferent to the vast majority of people in the world, judging from his current performance, those concerns may be genuine.

After all, Wen Zhen has always taken great care of his collection.

"I'm sorry." He heard Luan Tan say, "I apologize to you on behalf of those who fished you aboard."

Nanting actually didn't want to accept an apology from a traitor.Although the other party's apology has nothing to do with what he thinks in his heart.

But in front of Wen Zhen, he still said, "It's okay."

Luan Tan probably saw his displeasure.But he couldn't reason with a mermaid who seemed to be having a temper tantrum, so he was silent for a while, turned and opened the door, and left the room.

As they came and went, the atmosphere became even more eerie.

Wen Zhen didn't realize it.He took Nan Ting and followed Luan Tan out the door.

Outside the room is a deep corridor that can't be seen at a glance.There are many rooms on both sides of the corridor, and some rooms have open doors.Nan Ting couldn't help poking his head out, wanting to see what was in the room.

Wen Zhen on the side said coldly, "Aren't you afraid?"

"Ok?"

Nan Ting's heart tightened, and then he remembered that he seemed to be acting too calmly.

He had to find an excuse: "The bird said it wouldn't hurt me."

"Is that what it told you?"

"Correct."

Wen Zhen stopped in his tracks.

"Nanting, don't you trust others too easily?" he said.

Nan Ting: "?"

"Since its legs were cut off and made into specimens, its ability has degraded to only cut off the legs of other creatures." Wen Zhen said, "It can't hurt you at all, so I didn't let No. You take it away."

Nan Ting was stunned: "Why did it lie to me?"

"Because you're so easy to deceive." Wen Zhen said mercilessly, "It didn't keep the agreement with me, and it felt that it was bound to die."

"Your agreement?"

"It was locked in a certain place before. I promised to bring it out from there, and it promised me to kill someone after I came to the ship." Wen Zhen explained to him naturally, as if it was just an unworthy thing. mentioned, "but it looks like some idiot got the key and let it out of the cage, so it's out of control."

He really didn't know anything about the Bird of Paradise's plan for revenge.

Nan Ting thought about it, and asked: "Who will be killed?"

Wen Zhen laughed.He said, "Honey, you have so many questions."

Nan Ting blinked.

He tried his best not to be so nervous, but the erratic gaze still betrayed him: "Can't I know?"

"That's not what it means. It's just that there are some things, the more you know, the better." Wen Zhen said, suddenly raised his head, and said to the human who was walking in front, "—what do you think, Mr. Luan Tan?"

Luan Tan paused.

"...um." After a long time, he said softly.

Nan Ting really didn't understand what they were playing dumb.He thought for a while, and decided to continue to try the formula: "But what does your agreement have to do with me? Why did it lie to me?"

"Because it wants to win your favor." Wen Zhen said, "If you want me to let it go, I will."

Nan Ting: "...?"

The other party seemed to have something to say, but he didn't have a deep understanding of human language and emotion, so he could only decipher a limited meaning.

Then they came to a fork in the road.

"From here, you can take a detour and go to the room where things are stored. If you open the door directly, other people in the room may be attacked." Luan Tan said, he walked with his head down, speaking and walking very fast, as if In this way, you can get rid of everything in front of you, "The money from the auction will be refunded to the account where the previous payment was made, I..."

He stopped talking suddenly.

There was the sound of "da da" footsteps from the direction they came from.

Luan Tan turned his head and waited vigilantly on the spot without moving.

The footsteps were getting closer.

After a while, he saw Fu Cheng, who was wearing the uniform of the Control Bureau, was limping towards this side, clutching the wound on his abdomen.

"What are you doing here?" Luan Tan frowned subconsciously, and was forcibly stretched out again, forming a stiff and reserved expression.

Fu Cheng, who caught up with the three of them from behind, said nothing.

He probably wanted to maintain his last dignity through silence, but before he approached, the blood loss made his feet go weak, and he staggered two steps forward.

Luan Tan raised his hand, wanting to help him.

Fu Cheng shook off his hand.

Luan Tan finally couldn't help it: "Do you want to die?"

Fu Cheng looked at him coldly.

"Luan Tan, how can you be so self-contradictory?" At this time, he looked like the majestic captain again, "You were the one who hurt me, and you are the one who cares about me hypocritically. How many untold lies are there?"

"I follow you because it is my duty to handle that specimen, and it has nothing to do with who you are."

Leaving this sentence behind, Fu Cheng supported the wall to regain his footing, and continued to limp to the front.

Nan Ting looked curiously at Luan Tan who hesitated to speak.

Although the other party was a traitor, he always felt that the traitor's heart was not too bad, and it was not as serious as Wen Zhen.

So he asked Wen Zhen, who seemed to know about it, "Why do they have to quarrel? Can't we explain it?"

As a result, Wen Zhen said, "You should ask me this question quietly."

"?"

"Let the quarrelsome people hear others say that they are quarreling, and their rebellious psychology will be aggravated."

"...Ah?" Nan Ting was a little at a loss, "Is that so?"

He didn't understand what was so rebellious about it.There has never been any misunderstanding between myself and the people I know, and I say whatever comes to mind, whether I wear a communicator or not.

Except for the one in front of me, of course.

After leaving the base, he felt more and more that the emotions between human beings were too complicated, twists and turns, and caused too many unnecessary troubles.

But since Wen Zhen said so, Nan Ting decided to follow through.

So he propped up his body a little bit from the water, clung to Wen Zhen's ear, and repeated in a low voice: "Why do they have to quarrel?"

Wen Zhen: "..."

He laughed: "It's a long story, I'll tell you later, okay?"

The author has something to say:

Mermaid Breeding Day9

It's easy to trick a merman, just be serious when talking to him.

In this way, even if you tell him that there is a child between you, he will believe it.
