pure white believer
Chapter 20 Mermaid Center 03
Nan Ting was very ignorant of the world outside the base.He only knew that anyone who dared to do this in the base would not want to live.
There are strict regulations on the "relationship between men and women" in the base.It is the most basic rule not to make intimate actions in public. Secondly, if you want to establish an intimate relationship with others, you must submit an application and be reviewed and approved by the intelligence department before proceeding. Otherwise, you will face severe punishment.
Regarding this point, Article 27 of the general chapter of the committee is very clear: It is forbidden for members of the heterogeneous management committee to have improper relationships with anyone (except those designated by the committee), and those who violate it will be expelled.
Designated candidates include intimate relationship objects who have passed the application, or marriage objects designated by the different management committee.
This is to ensure the purity of the genes and thoughts within the Alternative Society.Nan Ting thinks it makes sense, because Chi said that emotion is a terrible thing-no matter what emotion, love or hate, anger or sadness, positive or negative, if it accumulates to a certain level, it will bring about the collapse of people's mind.He said that Wen Zhen is such a person who can't control his emotions, he can't control his love for those dangerous objects, so he has brought irreparable harm to the Aliens Society and the world.
The Aliens Society is the highest management organization of the New Era. If they all vented their emotions endlessly like Wen Zhen, then the world would have been messed up long ago.
Life is life, it has the highest meaning in itself, and does not need any other relationship, emotion to give it more meaning.Chi said to him.
You and me, we all are.
When Nan Ting was at the base, he saw a pair of expelled staff members.It was an embarrassing thing for him, and he still doesn't want to recall it.
He didn't sleep very deeply that night. He suddenly heard something at three o'clock in the morning, so he poked his head out of the water to see what happened.
——Then he saw that the breeder No. 236, who was in charge of taking care of him that year, and the patrolman No. 254 were kissing by the pool.
Nan Ting remembered very clearly that No. 236 and No. 254 had never applied for an intimate relationship, and they were not designated spouses by the Dissenting Society.
But in the base, and in the entire Aliens Society, there was no secret that could escape Chi's eyes.
Sure enough, the next day, both of them disappeared.
But Nan Ting didn't think it was a big deal, after all, they violated the regulations.
He also couldn't understand why No. 236 and No. 254 had to secretly do things that could only be done between spouses when they were obviously not spouses—wouldn't they feel ashamed?
It also embarrassed him.
However, Nan Ting himself has no worries in this regard.
First of all, he is a mermaid, while the rest of the base staff are human.There is reproductive isolation between mermaids and humans, and the base will not assign him messy spouses.
What's more, he couldn't even reach the first differentiation period, let alone the second differentiation period afterwards.
Apart from being unable to walk on land, Nan Ting felt that it was good to maintain this state.
He doesn't like feeling out of control.
However, at this moment, the picture played on the screen is telling him very clearly: the human world outside the base is not like this.
Those humans seem to fall in love with someone very easily.
After Nan Ting finished his lunch, he began to think about what human love is.Why do they have such strong love and hate, why do they lose control because of these emotions.
There are definitions associated with what he studied.But they say that to love is to like, which is simply nonsense.
Nan Ting imagined how he would feel if he would not be able to eat such a delicious lunch in the future, and felt that he would just be a little bit disappointed.
Can this be considered love?
never mind.he thinks.
None of this has anything to do with him.
After all, Chi said that the meaning of his life does not lie in this.
After finally persuading himself to forget this question, when he caught a glimpse of Wen Zhen who took away the plate from the corner of his eye, a new question was born in his mind: What about Wen Zhen?
Is it possible for a person like Wen Zhen to fall in love with someone like other humans outside the base?
A real person, not objects he loves to collect.
Nan Ting went through the countless pages of information in his mind, and finally came to a conclusion:
impossible.
On Sunday night, Wen Zhen went out for a trip, and when he came back, he had a lot of things in his hand.
He laid them out one by one in front of Nan Ting.
"Breeding certificate." Something like a work card.
"Carrying case." A case smaller than a water tank.
"Moisture suit." A strange piece of clothing.
Nan Ting guessed their purpose through their names, and asked, "Are these also abnormal items?"
"No." Wen Zhen said, "I bought it in the supermarket."
"supermarket?"
"It's where humans buy things."
Nanting knows what a supermarket is.He just never went there.
I don't know if Wen Zhen also bought the candy he gave him last time.
He turned a corner and asked, "What's in the supermarket?"
"I have everything." Wen Zhen said, "I will take you shopping tomorrow."
"Are we going to land tomorrow?"
"Yes." Wen Zhen said, suddenly remembered something, and suggested, "Or let's swim over."
Nan Ting: "..."
Why does this person always have all kinds of whims?
He wanted to refuse: "But——"
"Nanting." Wen Zhen called his name, his tone suddenly became serious, "I found out the moment I saw you—come here."
Nan Ting: "??"
He hesitated for a moment, then slowly swam towards Wen Zhen, and then he was lifted out of the water.
Wen Zhen put him on the sofa and stuffed his tail into the "moisturizing suit": "See if it fits."
He continued: "I found out as soon as I saw you - don't you particularly like sports?"
Nan Ting: "...?"
"See for yourself." Wen Zhen put the whole fish tail in, and then gently pinched his waist.
Nan Ting: "!"
He dodged immediately and almost fell off the sofa: "Itch!"
Wen Zhen pulled him up. "Your waist is soft, you know?" He said patiently, "Which mermaid is like you."
Nan Ting: "I..."
When Wen Zhen mentioned this, he suddenly realized that his body might be different from other mermaids.
Because he has lived safely in the pool of the base for the past ten years, he does not need to be threatened like other mermaids, and needs to swim in the sea from time to time.What's more, even if there are other creatures that want to prey on him, he can kill them with a flick of his finger.
Nan Ting couldn't find any words to refute, so he had to lower his gaze.
Then he found that Wen Zhen could pinch half of his waist with one hand, and although there was no fat on his waist, it was also soft with no muscles.
As a mermaid, this is indeed a bit abnormal.
"……Um."
Hearing Nan Ting's acknowledgment, Wen Zhen let go of his hand.
"Starting tomorrow, I will supervise your exercise." He said slowly, his eyes fell on the piece of skin that he wiped dry.
It was glowing slightly red.
But in the end, Wen Zhen gave up his whimsical idea, because the island is 41 kilometers away from the land, and with the ability of ordinary human beings, he can swim for more than half a day.
On Monday morning they disembarked from a secluded port in an hour's boat.
After landing, Nan Ting was stuffed into the moisturizing suit by him.The clothes were in a gradient color from white to black, and they were tightly attached to his body. Although they could moisturize him, Nan Ting, who usually didn't wear any clothes at all, always felt uncomfortable being strangled by them.
Nan Ting flopped twice in the suitcase, but almost fell because he was not used to the gravity.
"What's wrong?" Wen Zhen asked him.
"Uncomfortable." Nan Ting pulled the clothes on his body, "Can I not wear them?"
"If you don't wear it, you will die."
This is the truth.
As a merman who has not undergone the first differentiation, if he stays in a dry place for too long, he will die of dehydration.
So in a way, he is indeed a fragile little mermaid.
"Then... take off the upper body?" But Nan Ting still didn't like the clothes, "The upper body of a mermaid is similar to that of a human, and it won't lack water."
"No." Wen Zhen still refused.
"why?"
Wen Zhen leaned slightly in front of him, and put his gaze at the same height as him.
"Because you're so beautiful, I wouldn't be happy if others saw me—when I was on the boat, those people always stared at you." He said, with a flash of dark and unclear emotion in his eyes, "You don't do you know?"
Nan Ting was slightly taken aback, and avoided answering: "You..."
"I?"
"At that time, were you angry?"
"Ah."
"……I have no idea."
"Just a little bit." Wen Zhen smiled, and said relaxedly, "When I think about how long they won't live, I won't be so angry."
"..."
Nan Ting froze, unable to speak, and did not mention the matter of clothes anymore.
Afterwards, Wen Zhen moved him to his car.The back seat of the car was remodeled. After the seat was removed, there was just enough space for a suitcase.
At the same time, Nan Ting also noticed that the car was silver-blue—exactly the same color as his hair.
Wen Zhen seemed to like this color very much.
The sea they came to was called Bona Sea, and the city where they are now is called Bona City, a prosperous secondary city belonging to Kanas State.
Wen Zhen started the car, and said that the place they were going to was called "Mermaid Center", which was in the urban area.
"Is that a research institute for humans?" Nan Ting asked.
"No, it's just a pet hospital." Wen Zhen said, "Only here is a hospital for mermaids. Because you mermaids basically live in Bona Sea, there are many people raising mermaids here."
Pet Hospital.
Nan Ting remembered something: "I am a pet?"
"You are not." Wen Zhen answered quickly, he glanced at the rearview mirror, "I just said it in passing."
"Then I'm your collection?" Nan Ting asked again, "When I was imprisoned on the boat, they said you were a collector."
"That group of people told you so?"
Actually not.They say he is a devil.
Nan Ting said, "Yes."
"Not at all."
"Then what am I?"
Wen Zhen stepped on the brakes at the red light, leaned in front of the car perfume and smelled it, then moved away.
After a while, he replied, seemingly absent-minded: "You are my little baby."
Nan Ting always felt that his tone was not serious, but when he glanced at the rearview mirror, the expression in those eyes was still calm.
He thought for a while and said, "When I was on the boat, the man who wanted to buy a mermaid and a crew member saw the strap around my neck and asked me if I had an owner."
"I asked them why they were asking that, but they just laughed at me."
"Next time you can say yes, it's Wen Zhen, and then they won't dare to touch you." Wen Zhen said, but changed the subject, "But you can say that, but don't think so."
"why?"
"Because you are not something to me." Wen Zhen's gaze fell under the windshield, "You are not a flower, nor a bottle of perfume, Nan Ting. You are a mermaid."
"You are not my master..." Nan Ting summed up his words, "Then what are you?"
"Me?" Wen Zhen said, "I'm nothing."
He looked at the endlessly flowing streets, waited for a long time, and then said, as if to give an answer: "I am your Wen Zhen."
As a result, after talking a lot, Nan Ting still couldn't figure out the matter of the sash.
Fortunately, he was smart enough: when he arrived at the mermaid center, Nan Ting found that many mermaids were wearing similar things around their necks, and some even had chains on them; after a while, an old man with a dog came from them Passing by, Nan Ting saw the same thing on the dog's neck.
Therefore, in the general cognition of human beings, this is a sign of possession.Nanting thought.
No wonder he didn't know.
On Monday, there were surprisingly many people in the Mermaid Center.Wen Zhen registered for him, and then led him to wait in line in the lobby.
The humans present are basically "mermaid lovers". When they have nothing to do, they always like to look at the mermaids brought by others.
Nan Ting and Wen Zhen sat in the corner of the hall, Wen Zhen even put on a mask, and the two of them spoke in a very low voice.Even so, more and more people were looking this way, and even many mermaids turned their heads frequently.
Only the man sitting next to them bowed his head, also whispering to his mermaid.
Nan Ting was a little uncomfortable.
For the first time, he saw so many of his own race: the most common black tail, the slightly rarer gold tail and red tail, and the rare purple tail.These are gentle, breedable breeds.They and the humans around them all turned their heads to look this way, not at Wen Zhen, but at him.
Among them, the eyes of a golden-tailed mermaid made him feel particularly uncomfortable - he didn't look at this side secretly like the others, but stared at Nan Ting firmly, giving Nan Ting a feeling that he was going to rush over suddenly illusion.
Nan Ting couldn't help but move his body to get closer to Wen Zhen.
Laughter came from beside me.
"Did you see, Nan Ting?" Wen Zhen said, "How much they like you."
Nan Ting did not speak.
"You just thought about not wearing clothes."
Nan Ting: "..."
Nan Ting: "I don't want to."
Like showing weakness, he imitated the other mermaids here and leaned on his "master"'s knee.
Wen Zhen smiled, and wanted to say something, but suddenly a pair of feet appeared in his sight.
"Hello."
A man in a suit stopped in front of them.
"I'm sorry to disturb you," he said politely, "but if it's convenient, can you show me your mermaid?"
Nan Ting couldn't see anything special about this person, but Wen Zhen could tell at a glance that this person was dressed very elegantly, obviously he was not an ordinary person.
He looked away and looked at Nan Ting again: "Sorry, it's inconvenient."
"No...uh, isn't it convenient?" The other party didn't expect him to refuse, "I just have a look, I won't do anything else."
Wen Zhen didn't lift his head: "No."
The man was a little disappointed, and nodded slightly to show that he knew.He turned around to leave, but the people behind grabbed him, walked up to Wen Zhen in two or three steps, and stretched out his hand, trying to pull the suitcase beside him.
Wen Zhen raised his head again, and at the same time, the man slapped his companion on the arm: "What are you doing?"
"I don't do anything." His companion sneered, looking at Wen Zhen, "I just can't understand him like that, he's like something."
With that said, he rushed forward again.The man quickly pulled him back.
Nan Ting glanced at Wen Zhen, worried that he would do something suddenly, so he took the initiative to ask, "What's the matter?"
The man opened his mouth and looked at him intently.After a while, as if he suddenly came back to his senses, he took another look at Wen Zhen.Jianwen Zhen didn't respond, so he said to Nan Ting: "I want to ask, what is your breed...?"
Nanting didn't answer him.
He wasn't stupid enough to take the initiative to expose himself as a dangerous species.
"Well...it's like this." Seeing that he didn't respond, the man turned to Wen Zhen again, "My Liya has just undergone a second differentiation this year, and is currently looking for a suitable mating partner. I spent a few months before Time to choose, but the people I met were not very satisfied. Today, the first time I saw your mermaid, I think he is very suitable, I hope you can think about it."
"You don't have to worry about genetics. Liya has good genes. She has been elected Miss Bona Mermaid for four consecutive times."
The man said, pushing his suitcase over.
A mermaid poked her head timidly out of it.She was beautiful indeed, with long, curly blond hair that fell limply over her shoulders, and green eyes as beautiful as jewels.
Seeing Nan Ting, she blushed suddenly and hid behind the man.
Nanting looked at them inexplicably.
Wen Zhen still didn't speak.
The man thought he was thinking. "You don't have to worry about the cost." He continued, "We will definitely pay you a suitable and satisfactory price."
Liya was even more shy, and simply covered her face with her hands.
Nan Ting couldn't bear it anymore.He wanted to say that he was underage, but Wen Zhen glanced at him and signaled him not to speak.
"Inappropriate." Wen Zhen finally spoke.
Man: "Huh?"
He said: "Don't rush to decide..."
"If I say, help your girlfriend get a seed." Wen Zhen interrupted him, "—do you think it's appropriate, Mr. Hou?"
The man froze. "You know me," he said, "... have we met?"
Wen Zhen: "I have admired your name for a long time."
The tone is very casual, and there is no meaning of "long admiration" in it.
"Then...here, you are..."
Mr. Hou looked around, feeling a little embarrassed.Obviously, the embarrassing person should be the person opposite, but he seemed too calm, and the embarrassing person became himself instead.
"Sorry to bother you," he said at last.
Wen Zhen also said very politely: "See you again by fate."
Mr. Hou looked a little annoyed, but he was still decent, and he just left with his mermaid.Li Ya poked her head out quietly and looked at them in surprise.Not only that, but the eyes of everyone around were a little more weird.
They were talking about something, the voice was not small.Nan Ting heard a few broken words, "Why is that kind of person again?" "It's really pretty, I can do it with me."
He asked, "Who is he?"
"City Councilor."
Nan Ting let out an "ah" and said thoughtfully, "He looks very polite."
"I don't like him." Wen Zhen frowned, not hiding his inner dissatisfaction, "He said he would give you..."
He seemed to dislike that word so much that he left it out.
"Why?" Nan Ting asked, "I don't know him at all."
"Because of your face. It has nothing to do with whether you recognize him or not." Wen Zhen said, "Your face is very beautiful, and it will bring you a lot of trouble, Nan Ting."
It turns out that the criterion for choosing a spouse in the world outside the base is a good-looking face.Nanting thought.
On base, it's very different.Beauty is synonymous with danger, and rational members of the Aliens will never pursue beauty.
Nan Ting thought about it, then looked at Wen Zhen again.He felt that Wen Zhen also had a good-looking face, and he was not the only one who thought so, many people in the base had the same opinion.
"What about you? Will you also have a lot of trouble?" Nan Ting asked, "Someone will find you as a match...well, will they find you in trouble?"
He almost wanted to say breeding, but then remembered that Wen Zhen didn't like the word, so he quickly swallowed it.
Wen Zhen: "..."
Wen Zhen: "That's called falling in love, Nan Ting. It's not breeding."
Nan Ting: "...Oh."
He felt as if he had made a very stupid mistake.But that's not his problem.
After all, the word "love" was not included in his study content, and he knew nothing about it.
The author has something to say:
#The whole world thinks they are in love, only he doesn't know#
The second watch is coming!Thank you for your thunder and nutrition~

Among them, the eyes of a golden-tailed mermaid made him feel particularly uncomfortable - he didn't look at this side secretly like the others, but stared at Nan Ting firmly, giving Nan Ting a feeling that he was going to rush over suddenly illusion.
Nan Ting couldn't help but move his body to get closer to Wen Zhen.
Laughter came from beside me.
"Did you see, Nan Ting?" Wen Zhen said, "How much they like you."
Nan Ting did not speak.
"You just thought about not wearing clothes."
Nan Ting: "..."
Nan Ting: "I don't want to."
Like showing weakness, he imitated the other mermaids here and leaned on his "master"'s knee.
Wen Zhen smiled, and wanted to say something, but suddenly a pair of feet appeared in his sight.
"Hello."
A man in a suit stopped in front of them.
"I'm sorry to disturb you," he said politely, "but if it's convenient, can you show me your mermaid?"
Nan Ting couldn't see anything special about this person, but Wen Zhen could tell at a glance that this person was dressed very elegantly, obviously he was not an ordinary person.
He looked away and looked at Nan Ting again: "Sorry, it's inconvenient."
"No...uh, isn't it convenient?" The other party didn't expect him to refuse, "I just have a look, I won't do anything else."
Wen Zhen didn't lift his head: "No."
The man was a little disappointed, and nodded slightly to show that he knew.He turned around to leave, but the people behind grabbed him, walked up to Wen Zhen in two or three steps, and stretched out his hand, trying to pull the suitcase beside him.
Wen Zhen raised his head again, and at the same time, the man slapped his companion on the arm: "What are you doing?"
"I don't do anything." His companion sneered, looking at Wen Zhen, "I just can't understand him like that, he's like something."
With that said, he rushed forward again.The man quickly pulled him back.
Nan Ting glanced at Wen Zhen, worried that he would do something suddenly, so he took the initiative to ask, "What's the matter?"
The man opened his mouth and looked at him intently.After a while, as if he suddenly came back to his senses, he took another look at Wen Zhen.Jianwen Zhen didn't respond, so he said to Nan Ting: "I want to ask, what is your breed...?"
Nanting didn't answer him.
He wasn't stupid enough to take the initiative to expose himself as a dangerous species.
"Well...it's like this." Seeing that he didn't respond, the man turned to Wen Zhen again, "My Liya has just undergone a second differentiation this year, and is currently looking for a suitable mating partner. I spent a few months before Time to choose, but the people I met were not very satisfied. Today, the first time I saw your mermaid, I think he is very suitable, I hope you can think about it."
"You don't have to worry about genetics. Liya has good genes. She has been elected Miss Bona Mermaid for four consecutive times."
The man said, pushing his suitcase over.
A mermaid poked her head timidly out of it.She was beautiful indeed, with long, curly blond hair that fell limply over her shoulders, and green eyes as beautiful as jewels.
Seeing Nan Ting, she blushed suddenly and hid behind the man.
Nanting looked at them inexplicably.
Wen Zhen still didn't speak.
The man thought he was thinking. "You don't have to worry about the cost." He continued, "We will definitely pay you a suitable and satisfactory price."
Liya was even more shy, and simply covered her face with her hands.
Nan Ting couldn't bear it anymore.He wanted to say that he was underage, but Wen Zhen glanced at him and signaled him not to speak.
"Inappropriate." Wen Zhen finally spoke.
Man: "Huh?"
He said: "Don't rush to decide..."
"If I say, help your girlfriend get a seed." Wen Zhen interrupted him, "—do you think it's appropriate, Mr. Hou?"
The man froze. "You know me," he said, "... have we met?"
Wen Zhen: "I have admired your name for a long time."
The tone is very casual, and there is no meaning of "long admiration" in it.
"Then...here, you are..."
Mr. Hou looked around, feeling a little embarrassed.Obviously, the embarrassing person should be the person opposite, but he seemed too calm, and the embarrassing person became himself instead.
"Sorry to bother you," he said at last.
Wen Zhen also said very politely: "See you again by fate."
Mr. Hou looked a little annoyed, but he was still decent, and he just left with his mermaid.Li Ya poked her head out quietly and looked at them in surprise.Not only that, but the eyes of everyone around were a little more weird.
They were talking about something, the voice was not small.Nan Ting heard a few broken words, "Why is that kind of person again?" "It's really pretty, I can do it with me."
He asked, "Who is he?"
"City Councilor."
Nan Ting let out an "ah" and said thoughtfully, "He looks very polite."
"I don't like him." Wen Zhen frowned, not hiding his inner dissatisfaction, "He said he would give you..."
He seemed to dislike that word so much that he left it out.
"Why?" Nan Ting asked, "I don't know him at all."
"Because of your face. It has nothing to do with whether you recognize him or not." Wen Zhen said, "Your face is very beautiful, and it will bring you a lot of trouble, Nan Ting."
It turns out that the criterion for choosing a spouse in the world outside the base is a good-looking face.Nanting thought.
On base, it's very different.Beauty is synonymous with danger, and rational members of the Aliens will never pursue beauty.
Nan Ting thought about it, then looked at Wen Zhen again.He felt that Wen Zhen also had a good-looking face, and he was not the only one who thought so, many people in the base had the same opinion.
"What about you? Will you also have a lot of trouble?" Nan Ting asked, "Someone will find you as a match...well, will they find you in trouble?"
He almost wanted to say breeding, but then remembered that Wen Zhen didn't like the word, so he quickly swallowed it.
Wen Zhen: "..."
Wen Zhen: "That's called falling in love, Nan Ting. It's not breeding."
Nan Ting: "...Oh."
He felt as if he had made a very stupid mistake.But that's not his problem.
After all, the word "love" was not included in his study content, and he knew nothing about it.
The author has something to say:
#The whole world thinks they are in love, only he doesn't know#
The second watch is coming!Thank you for your thunder and nutrition~
