Capture an Omega Mermaid

Another person who was obviously unconscious looked like the fourth imperial princess from the looks of her clothes.

Chao Chao felt that this person looked familiar, and quickly remembered that it was the researcher named Ji Chengfeng he had seen in the research institute.

He paused, realized something, and turned to look at Fu Xinglan.

"Forgot to introduce." Fu Xinglan raised his chin over there, "Didn't you just ask me how you came back? He brought you back."

Over there, Ji Chengfeng winked at him, and made a simple self-introduction: "It's our first meeting, I'm Ji Chengfeng, you can also call me—wwid."

Chao Chao opened his eyes slightly, and after a while he said obediently: "Hello."

"Hello," wwid gestured to him, "we will meet often in the future, I may not be in my current capacity, remember to keep it secret for me."

Tidal nodded.

wwid is obviously inconvenient to stay longer, after a simple greeting with Chao Chao, he raised the fourth princess on the handle and signaled to Fu Xinglan: "I can't come out for too long. If you don't need to slap twice to vent your anger, I will help you out by the way." People took it away."

Fu Xinglan glanced at him coldly, and said, "Throw her into the tank for me."

"What?" Ji Chengfeng was taken aback, then couldn't laugh or cry, "Yin Dongxue is not a mermaid, if you throw it into a tank, you will drown."

Fu Xinglan: "Then what does it matter to me?"

Ji Chengfeng could hear the impatience in his tone, so he hurriedly made a concession gesture, thinking that your differential treatment is too obvious: "Okay, I know, I can figure it out, anyway, let her learn enough, Is it okay to throw it on the roof? It’s enough to blow the cold wind all night, if you directly want to kill people, I won’t bother to send people back...Didn’t we just discuss it?”

He tilted his head and gestured with his eyes to Tide, who hadn't recovered completely.

Fu Xinglan snorted and said nothing more.

Only then did Ji Chengfeng heave a sigh of relief, and quickly left with the fourth princess.

After being interrupted by such an interruption, Tidal's mood finally returned to normal. Looking at the back of wwid leaving, he was a little worried: "He just brought me back, won't he cause any trouble?"

"It doesn't matter." Fu Xinglan said, "He has his own measure."

Seeing that Chao Chao's expression was still worried, Fu Xinglan thought for a while, and then explained briefly, "Wwid is a top agent, and this level can't trouble him."

Tide opened his eyes wide in surprise, obviously he didn't expect that sunny and handsome alpha to be so powerful.

In fact, even in the First Legion, few people know that Ji Chengfeng is the legendary mysterious adjutant and the strongest legendary agent of the Federation.

Fu Xinglan thought Chao Chao's curious look was very cute, so he couldn't help but say a few more words.

"Don't look at him with a simple face, in fact he has a lot of eyes."

Fu Xinglan is the kind of character who is too lazy to play tricks with others. After all, in the eyes of the marshal, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and schemes are paper tigers.

However, the federal system doomed him to not be able to completely stay away from political struggles, and it was also thanks to picking up wwid back then.

"The Ji family started out as a gray business, and they didn't clean it up after they took the political path. The background is more complicated. Chengfeng was recognized as an illegitimate child at the beginning, and when he was only a teenager, he almost became someone's scapegoat."

Chao Chao was curious: "Then you helped him?"

"It doesn't count," Fu Xinglan said with a smile, his eyes full of admiration, "that kid is smarter than all his real and fake relatives. He was left with an innocent face and sat in the best audience seat to watch the play, until he had seen enough, and then he had the time to come to me with the evidence he had sorted out."

Fu Xinglan smiled: "He sold the entire Ji family in exchange for me to protect him without hesitation, so I should have earned it."

Chao Chao blinked, and said in his heart that he is still working hard for you, of course you made the money.

But someone as smart as Ji Chengfeng would willingly follow Fu Xinglan, which also proved Fu Xinglan's charisma from another aspect.

Chao Chao came back to his senses, realized that he was still relying on Fu Xinglan, felt a little embarrassed, and was reluctant to leave, thought for a while and reacted: "Have we fallen out with the First Prince now?...Then can we still leave the castle? "

"Of course." Fu Xinglan narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's not up to him to decide when I want to take you away."

Indeed, as the Marshal said, even though the castle was closed, the First Legion still "forcibly took over" the guarding authority and opened the gate.

The castle has two gates, inside and outside. The convoy quickly passed the first gate. While waiting for the drawbridge behind the second gate to be lowered, they were finally caught up by the eldest prince who had received the news.

Yin Beichen jumped off the horse and hurried to Fu Xinglan's carriage. His breath was still a little unsteady, and it was rare that he could not maintain his usual elegance.

"Master Marshal left suddenly, but you blame me for not entertaining me well?"

Fu Xinglan held back the hand that Chao Chao had raised nervously, and lowered the window with a cold face: "What do you think?"

Alpha's pheromone did not restrain itself, obviously not saving any face for the person on the opposite side.

Yin Beichen froze when he was about to speak, and almost couldn't help taking a step back, the habitual smile on his face faded instantly.

He suppressed his emotions, and said coldly: "It turns out that the Marshal has found him safely, and he didn't send anyone to notify me. I'm afraid of accidents in my life, and I'm still helping to find him all over the castle..."

Fu Xinglan gave him a cold look, and sneered: "Then I really want to thank Your Highness, for helping, getting, good, busy."

Yin Beichen: "..."

It was obviously just a sentence that didn't hurt or itch, and there wasn't even a word of explicit threat, but Yin Beichen seemed to be choked up, and couldn't reply a word for a long time.

Fu Xinglan had tied up the fourth princess before, but in fact he had no intention of putting on airs with Yin Beichen anymore. He even thought about bringing Yin Dongxue back to the Federation, giving her back what she did to Chao Chao, and asking her to personally apologize to Chao Chao.

Think about it carefully, although there are not many people from the First Legion, they are all elites. Even if this is the territory of the First Prince, wwid has already figured out the inside. I don't pay attention to it at all.

Fu Xinglan was absolutely confident that he could win the fight, so he wanted to fight as fast as he could.

At that time, Tide was still in a coma, Ji Chengfeng analyzed the pros and cons for a while, and persuaded his own marshal, and agreed to send him back, leaving room for the two parties.

After all, it's a good time to fight now. Regardless of the matter that the empire will pursue later, the federal tigers and wolves are behind, and they can't wait to find fault with the First Legion with a magnifying glass every day. It is absolutely impossible to let go of this opportunity.

Fu Xinglan's bipolar disorder hasn't been resolved yet. If she still wants to protect Chao Tide safely, it's really not suitable for her to be as domineering as before. It's okay to let her learn a lesson from Yin Dongxue, and Yin Beichen will definitely not be in a hurry.

Fu Xinglan held the unconscious little mermaid in his arms and was silent for a while.

Fu Xinglan's temper is not very good, even because he has never been defeated, it is inevitable that he will act impulsively occasionally, but he is strong enough, naturally has the capital of arrogance, and does not care about offending anyone.

Even after suffering from bipolar disorder, I was persuaded by the adjutant several times to restrain myself, but the marshal also retorted back with "If I suddenly change my attitude, it will be easier to arouse people's suspicion".

He is not a meticulous and considerate person, and the people around him never need his careful protection. Therefore, even though he is very concerned about the tide, there is still a huge omission this time.

Compared with Yin Beichen's bold anger, Fu Xinglan was more angry with herself.

Bipolar disorder is not the main problem. The loopholes left by his overconfidence are the biggest excuse he gives to his enemies.

Marshal Fu has been ill for many years, and the long-term hidden dangers have accumulated little by little... In fact, he himself knows it better than anyone else. He probably doesn't know that one day, if he makes a slight mistake, the embankment of a thousand miles will collapse in the blink of an eye.

As a legion commander and the holder of the highest score in the military theory course of the Federal First University so far, how could he not understand what wwid said?

But Fu Xinglan was used to domineering, and he no longer knew how to restrain himself.

Furthermore, he doesn't think he has any "long-term", so naturally there is no need to endure these temporary anger...

Till I looked at Tide who was lying in his arms with a pale face and weak.

This may be the first time the marshal has decided to be patient for a certain reason.

Fu Xinglan felt as if he suddenly had a weakness, or rather, it was more like a set of reins, allowing him to stop in time on the edge of the cliff, examine himself, and learn to hide his strength and bide his time...

It felt novel, but not offensive.

Seeing that he was loose, wwid immediately added: "Actually, Yin Beichen made such a fuss, and he didn't get any good at all. On the contrary, because of the mermaid roar before, many equipments were affected, and the loss was not small. We will steal mc in the future." Relevant information is more convenient.”

"In addition, he made a mess at the ball, and his reputation among the nobles will be greatly affected. Maybe it will reach the old emperor's ears. I still want to teach Yin Dongxue a lesson..."

When Fu Xinglan nodded, wwid was relieved, and looked at Chao Chao eagerly on the spot.

He has always advocated that the First Legion should not only stick to the front line, but also have a place in the capital star. Fu Xinglan suffered a lot of dark losses because he was too lazy to spend this thought.

In the future, even if it is for the tide, the Marshal will probably think more about it.

Outside the car, the eldest prince was indeed very angry.

He tried his best to maintain his demeanor, and his eyes stayed on the hands of the two people for a moment longer.

Yin Beichen also knew that a head-on confrontation with Fu Xinglan would not be good enough here, so he snorted and turned to look at Chao Chao, saying in a rather meaningful tone, "We will meet again."

Fu Xinglan sneered, closed the window, and called wwid again.

"Tell the old emperor about Yin Beichen's native mermaid." His eyes were cold. "I heard that a mermaid was lost in the imperial palace before. Maybe it's a family thief."

Even if he couldn't be killed directly, he still had to find something unpleasant for him, otherwise Marshal Fu would find it hard to swallow this breath.

Chapter 25 The bridge has been put down, and the convoy of the First Legion quickly restarted, ignoring the castle owner standing aside and opened the gate.

The chief guard read the scale inspection report sent by the research institute just now, and couldn't help being anxious when he saw it: "Your Highness, that is another original..."

He was glared at by Yin Beichen, and instantly realized that he had almost missed something. He paused immediately, and asked in a low voice, "Do you need me to send someone to intercept it later?"

"Intercept?" Yin Beichen had regained his usual composure, and smiled inaudibly, "You two teams still want to stop Fu Xinglan?"

The chief guard was a little anxious: "But... just let them go like this?! Not to mention that Fu Xinglan may not accept our cooperation again, even if it is the mermaid—the analysis report has come out, it is obvious that we have been looking for Even if it’s just to control No. [-], that child…”

"Follow us now, and Fu Xinglan will no longer cooperate with us." The eldest prince withdrew his gaze, turned and walked back.

The chief guard calmed down when he saw his attitude, but he still couldn't understand: "Didn't you say before that even if we can't get the support of the First Legion, we can't hand it over to the Second Highness..."

"I didn't say I would let it go."

The eldest prince took out the scale again from his pocket, rubbed it carefully for a moment, seemed to think of something, curled the corners of his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes.

The inspection report proved that his guess was correct, so it would be easy.

As long as No. [-] is still in his hands... Tide will come to him one day.

The soldiers who were looking for the fourth princess rushed back at this time, and the report was a little complicated: "Your Highness! We found Her Royal Highness on the rooftop, but..."

Yin Beichen frowned, suppressed his impatience and said, "What happened to her?"

"I don't know who sent the princess's photo, but now it has spread all over the star network..."

Yin Beichen's heart skipped a beat. When he opened Xingbo, he saw a photo of Yin Dongxue with disheveled hair and a face full of makeup hanging on the front page.

The imperial family's publicity department has already begun to delete pictures to control public opinion, but it still can't hold back the discussion of various magically modified pictures and abbreviated keywords among netizens.

Yin Dongxue's all kinds of arrogant and domineering scandals were so much that when this picture came out, few people believed that she was being punished. Instead, she began to focus on "hangover", "addiction" and other things that would damage the royal face. The direction gets further and further away.

Yin Beichen knew that Yin Dongxue had offended a lot of people, and it was estimated that someone was taking advantage of her power to punish her. However, at this juncture, Yin Dongxue's negative news obviously had a great impact on him...

He was so upset, and heard that his sister was crying and making a fuss, and he didn't even want to go back to the castle. He was about to go to the underground research institute, when he heard the terminal shake.

Yin Beichen glanced down, but saw that it was a spies from the palace reporting back. Someone reported to the old emperor that he had raised a native mermaid privately, and sent many witnesses to testify. The emperor was quite furious and said yes Send someone to search immediately.

Yin Beichen's composure finally collapsed, and he froze in place: "..."

After a while, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a name word by word: "Fu, Xing, Lan!..."

He always thought that only he knew the secret, but it has already been held in the hands of the other party? !

The native mermaid in the basement was actually "deceived" by him from the palace. For so many years, the old emperor had been searching everywhere, completely unaware that the mermaid was hidden under his nose.

He has been planning for more than ten years, step by step, the long march of thousands of miles is only the last step...

But seeing that it was about to be easily destroyed in one battle!

Once the old emperor knew that he was the one who stole the mermaid and caused his "longevity dream" to be shattered...he would never be the candidate for the crown prince!

Yin Beichen only felt that the string called reason in his brain finally "clicked" and was broken by anger.

Like Fu Xinglan, Yin Beichen was also in a complex situation with many scruples, so he chose to take a step back. Rationally, he knew very well that it would definitely not be wise to offend Fu Xinglan and make him suffer from the enemy.

Because of this, even though Strong of the Third Legion had been trying to contact him before, hoping that the two parties would unite to help him win the empire first, and then help Strong win the federal commander, he did not respond.

After all, compared with the First Legion, the Third Legion is a group of remnants and weak generals, but they only have the advantage of being stationed on the capital star and have a better position...

Yin Beichen narrowed his eyes.

Now he can use this advantage to teach Fu Xinglan a lesson that he was caught off guard.

Most of the people of the First Legion are stationed in the border camp. Even if there are people on the capital planet, it is Strong's territory after all, and it happens to be able to try the "trump card" he has prepared a long time ago...

Yin Beichen raised his hand and found an email from Strong, and replied with a voice message: "I agree to the transaction. But there is a new condition-" "The mermaid next to him belongs to me."

It didn't take long for the other party's reply to come: [Of course there is no problem, my respected Majesty of the Future Empire.So when is it convenient for you so we can discuss some operational details? ] Yin Beichen said, "Just tonight."

Although Strong is not good at fighting, he still has merits in other things, such as being quite proficient in guiding public opinion and using the public to exert pressure.

With such a "rare" status as Tide, how could he be kept in captivity by such an obviously "violent" guy?

It would be best to provoke Fu Xinglan into a manic-depressive attack, kill one or two people by mistake, lose the support of the people, lose control of the First Legion, and then snatch Chao Tide away from him, making Fu Xinglan completely degenerate and swallowed by manic-depressive disorder Eat it up...

That would relieve him a little.

The eldest prince smiled inexplicably, turned his head, and his tone became cold: "Check the research institute thoroughly for me and find out who helped that mermaid today."

The guards felt chilly, and they lowered their eyes and agreed: "Yes."

……

Gu Yanzhi dealt with the soldiers for a while, trying to buy more time for the little mermaid to escape, and when he finally sent the other party away, he quickly returned to the inner room and checked the inside and outside.

He opened the window and looked out, only to see a small pool of water stains on the ground on one side of the window.

Any slight movement in the research institute will trigger the alarm. It is still so quiet, the little mermaid has probably not been caught yet, but it is obviously not easy to escape safely.

Gu Yanzhi quickly returned to the table, took out his authority card from the drawer, and then paused again.

He can no longer go to each other.

The soldier said just now that the head of the guard had already gone to get the surveillance and submarine dispatch records, and it was only a matter of time before he was found out... It would be safer for the mermaid to stay away from him.

Gu Yanzhi frowned, and walked around the room twice, remembering the mermaid's words "my child" in the laboratory, and remembering her eyes staring at him as if grasping at the last straw...

He shook his head quickly.

It is said that this native mermaid has been imprisoned in the empire for decades. Even if she has children, it is impossible for her to be an adult. Maybe it is just that the transformed little mermaid has her genes in her body, so she has some special reactions?

He looked uncertainly at the blood test report on the screen—unfortunately, his personal laboratory did not have DNA testing equipment, and even if there were samples, he could not conduct a comparative test.

Gu Yanzhi quickly gave up the idea of ​​quietly doing DNA comparisons, looked at the shelf with various reagents on the side, thought for a while, and finally made up his mind to take out some of the reagents, and began to prepare the reagents and experiment.

Unlike several other persons in charge of pharmaceutical or genetic engineering research, when Gu Yanzhi first came to the institute, he didn't know what kind of project he was going to be involved in.

Mermaid research is actually a very partial direction, so all those who choose this subject are undoubtedly deeply attracted by this beautiful and mysterious creature.

Gu Yanzhi was no exception - no one knew how excited he was when he saw the mermaid for the first time.

That's a native mermaid!

Gu Yanzhi tried his best to restrain the shaking of his hands and confirm the genome. His heart beat so violently that he could hardly hold back the tears...

It was probably due to his usual calm and indifference on the surface that he was able to pass the assessment of the eldest prince and became the only candidate left.

However, what he heard and saw next made Gu Yanzhi feel more and more chills in his heart.

Unscrupulous immature transformation experiments, native mermaids tortured to death, all kinds of abused and inhuman test products...

Gu Yanzhi hardly remembered how he got back to his residence that day.

He knew that the eldest prince was watching, so he didn't dare to make too much noise, so he could only hide in the toilet, knelt by the bathtub and retched, biting his arm under the shower head and choking back his roar, unable to restrain the boundless anger and deep powerlessness in his chest feel……

After all, Gu Yanzhi returned to this dark underground. The First Prince would not give up his original plan just because he refused to join the research, but if he was there, at least he could protect "them" within his ability.

He soon discovered that the inhibitors used by humans were ineffective against native mermaids. Every time the researchers injected the mermaids with medicines and extracted the pheromones, they discarded them, and let her go through the pain again and again by herself. Gather around the fish tank and watch and judge for fun.

Gu Yanzhi drove everyone out of the research room with a cold face, not caring how they arranged themselves behind them.

Fortunately, I don't know if it's because of the fear of affecting the pheromone, or some kind of deal the eldest prince has made with the mermaid. Everyone in the research institute is forbidden to directly touch the native mermaid.

But other modified mermaids are obviously not so lucky...

Mermaid research belongs to the direction of bioengineering, and Gu Yanzhi has naturally learned a lot of pharmaceutical knowledge. He used his identity to quietly read a large number of reports from the mk reagent research institute. An inhibitor that works on merfolk.

It's just that the inhibitory effect is weakened a little bit with the strengthening of the effect of the mk potion, and it has almost no effect by mk28.

Gu Yanzhi's eyes darkened slightly - at least, he wanted to do this last thing for "them" before he was caught.

He has been hurrying to study, and the experiment was repeated over and over again. During the period, he only slept a few times in the chair at different times. Every time he seemed to close his eyes, he was woken up by the countdown to the experiment he had set before. Gu Yanzhi immediately got up, Rinse the face with cold water and forcibly wake up to continue the experiment.

Fortunately, for some reason, the investigators who investigated the submarine records have not come to the door for a long time.

Gu Yanzhi vaguely inquired about it during the meal. It is said that the entire circuit of the research institute was affected by the howling sound of the mermaid at that time, and the monitoring and recording were temporarily lost.

However, this matter did not end there. The eldest prince obviously started a real fire, and ordered that Fu Xinglan's internal response in the research institute must be found out.

Gu Yanzhi remained calm on the surface, but secretly accelerated the speed of research.

He wasn't physically strong in the first place, and even Iron Man couldn't stand it if he used his brain so non-stop...

Gu Yanzhi only felt a momentary blackening in front of his eyes, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that he had dropped the experimental reagent onto the back of his hand with a trembling hand.

Gu Yanzhi was startled, and quickly got up and took his hands under the faucet to rinse.

The research institute is located underground, and the unheated water in the water pipes was bone-chillingly cold. However, after a few minutes, Gu Yanzhi only felt that it was getting hotter and hotter, and beads of sweat even unconsciously ooze from his head.

His breathing became short of breath and his heart beat uncontrollably.

Gu Yanzhi touched the frighteningly hot glands on the back of his neck, his eyes changed slightly, he reached out tremblingly to search for the inhibitor in the cabinet, found the right spot and shot it in for himself.

However, after a while, the scorching heat in his body became more and more intense, and there was no sign of relief...

Suddenly there was a knock on the door of "Tuk Tuk".

Gu Yanzhi suddenly turned around, and a familiar voice came from the door: "Professor Gu? Are you there? I'm Ji Chengfeng..."

Gu Yanzhi took two steps in the direction of the door, then his feet went limp, and he fell down as if he lost his strength.

During the movement, the chair beside the research table was brought down, making a loud noise.

The shouts at the door suddenly rushed a little: "Professor Gu?! Are you okay?!"

Gu Yanzhi's heart was beating wildly, and the voices in his ears were coming and going, and something seemed to be stirring in his mind, making his thoughts gradually confused, and it was almost impossible to distinguish the meaning of the other party's words.

He smelled the fragrance emanating from the air, cold and familiar...it was the smell of his pheromone.

Gu Yanzhi struggled to stand up with the fallen chair, stumbled to the door, opened the ventilation system in the room, and glanced at the calendar on the wall.

A date a few days later is circled in red.

His fuzzy thoughts can no longer remember what this circle represents, and he only vaguely feels that the current state is not unfamiliar, as if every time, when the date reaches the red circle, there will be such a time...

He should do something before the situation gets worse...

But what to do?

His hands and feet were weak, and he slid down the wall uncomfortably, curling up.

The depths of his body seemed to be clamoring for something, but he subconsciously felt that this desire was dangerous, so he could only bite his lip and try to endure it, and soon his lower lip turned bloody...

The situation of the research institute is special, and the airtightness of each research room is much better than that of ordinary rooms, but perhaps because they are too close, Ji Chengfeng outside the door still keenly smells the unusual fragrance in the air.

His breathing involuntarily deepened, and then he paused, suddenly realizing something.

"Professor Gu?" His tone became slightly anxious, "Are you... all right? Do you need help calling a doctor?"

The person inside the door seemed to have finally regained some sanity by his words, and hurriedly said: "No..." He gasped for breath, and said with difficulty, "Don't call the doctor..."

Gu Yanzhi glanced at the unlabeled vial on the table, it was mk28, and the table was full of inhibitor research samples and various experimental records...

Even if the matter of saving the little mermaid is not found out, these things alone are enough for him to be suspected and convicted, and die a hundred times.

He gritted his teeth.

The higher the level of oga, the harder it is to survive the estrus period on its own. Without the alpha help mark, oga can only inject inhibitors in time.

But the effect of mk28 is too strong, and the induced estrus fever is hard to stop halfway, and he has been relying on injection inhibitors to survive the estrus period, so he has already developed resistance to it...

It's just that he didn't expect that the inhibitor would just fail under this circumstance.

Ji Chengfeng's eyes darkened instantly when he heard the answer from the door that obviously suppressed his desire.

He could feel his heartbeat speeding up significantly - he had received special training, and even he could not restrain himself from being affected, which is enough to prove that Gu Yanzhi's oga level is very high, and it should... match his level Above 80.

Ji Chengfeng frowned slightly.

He still has a lot of things that he was supposed to investigate. He spent a lot of effort before successfully fooling the monitoring and submarine records. At this time, he should keep a low profile and not get involved in this obviously uncontrollable matter.

There was the sound of something being knocked over again from inside the door, vaguely mixed with Gu Yanzhi's uncontrollable groans.

Ji Chengfeng closed his eyes, and the pheromone smell from the tip of his nose slowly dissipated, reminding him uncontrollably of Gu Yanzhi's cold and beautiful face, thinking of those obscene jokes that were circulated in private... and finally converged on that person's pretense. The reddish ear tips exposed when he turned to leave angrily.

Even if the laboratory is better sealed than ordinary rooms, it is not completely sealed. Once the pheromones of Oga's estrus overflow...

Veins popped out of Ji Chengfeng's hand pressing on the door, and he frowned with a rare look of forbearance.

Then he finally closed his eyes and turned to leave.

Gu Yanzhi's breathing was short, and he couldn't help shaking, as if he had been fished out of the water.

His hand groped around on the side table, and finally found a paper knife. The sharp blade pierced his palm, and he briefly regained some consciousness.

Gu Yanzhi only felt that his whole body was extremely hot, and the glands at the back of his neck seemed to be on fire, all the way to the depths of his body.

Inhibitors are useless, unable to ask for help, and it is impossible to accept being marked by those inhuman guys in the institute... If this continues, he can only be burned to death here.

In just 10 minutes, it seems to have been tormented for 1 years.

Gu Yanzhi's reason was burnt into a ball, looked at the knife in his hand, finally raised the knife tremblingly, and slowly approached the gland at the back of his neck...

His eyes were lost.

Is it not so uncomfortable as long as I dig this thing out?
