Host No. 7749’s Law of Mission Failure

Chapter 183 The undercurrent of missing my breath (18)

He seemed to have just come back to his senses from the ecstasy of seeing the mermaid.

The blood on his hand couldn't be stopped, so the assistant quickly tore a piece of cloth to wrap it around his hand, trying to stop the bleeding.

The mermaid looked down at him with only disgust in her eyes.

When had he ever been looked at like that?

He remembered that it was several years ago, before he met Jianjian.

One by one, humans had obsession in their eyes. They reached out their hands to touch him, muttering something.

——"I will never hurt you."

——"I want to be friends with you."

——"Come here and be good."

The greed in their eyes was almost physical, making him feel blinded.

Duan Lin was quickly taken out by medical staff. His finger still needed treatment. The medical staff member walking at the end hesitated for a moment, looked at the severed finger on the ground, and took it back to him.

Keep it as a souvenir, maybe bring it back to the main planet and connect it to the technology there.

"..."

Laboratory No. 1 returned to silence.

##

The girl standing at the corner saw the whole farce.

She held her forehead and sighed.

There were many forks in the road inside the research institute, so she did not run into Duan Lin because she was hiding on another road.

It is now 9:34 in the evening.

And she is leaving on a starship flight at five in the morning tomorrow.

So in the end, I made the decision to come and meet Gui Lan.

There was someone guarding the door of Laboratory No. 1, but Lu Jian knew these two people, so he just said hello and went in.

When those two people saw Lu Jian, they felt like they had seen a savior.

With bitter expressions on their faces, they quickly opened the door for Lu Jian.

When Lu Jian opened the door, he just took two steps inside and was greeted by a layer of waves.

She was quick to take several steps back, and the water still splashed on her clothes, but she was not soaked like others.

"Didn't I tell you to get out?" The young man's noble and elegant voice was tinged with obvious anger.

"Should I leave too?" Lu Jian pointed at himself, his voice slow and gentle, staring at the mermaid submerged in the water without blinking.

"..."

His pupils dilated a little, his hostility dissipated a little, he opened his lips, and looked at the girl standing at the door in a trance.

She was looking at the water droplets on her new skirt in distress. She jumped a few times at the door, walked around the water stains on the ground, and walked into the laboratory.

The door behind him slowly closed.

Gui Lan pouted, his eyes reddened. His hand touched the edge of the water tank and clasped her hand through a layer of glass.

"Aren't you going to come and comfort me? Don't you like me anymore?" His voice trembled, tears were about to fall, and he looked like he was about to break.

Lu Jian said unhappily, "What did I do wrong?"

"You won't sleep with me." His eyes were covered with a layer of mist, filled with sadness and sorrow.

The silver hair spread out in the water, as beautiful as a colorful picture.

"We are all grown up, we can't sleep together anymore." Lu Jian patiently explained to him, "Do you understand? I am a girl, you have to give me my own space."

“But partners are close,” the boy murmured.

Although his voice was low, Lu Jian could still hear it clearly. She was stunned immediately, "What? What partner?"

The young man pointed to the side of his neck and said slowly, "Jianjian hasn't discovered it yet?"

Lu Jian touched the same spot on her neck but didn't feel anything. She turned on her smart brain and used the camera function to look at the side of her neck.

There is a tiny mole here, light blue.

"You...?" She touched the ground doubtingly, "You did it? When did it happen?"

"The first day I met you." He lowered his head and his forehead touched the glass, only to feel a cool sensation.

"What for?" she gritted her teeth.

Gui Lan curled his lips, "Marked partner, my marked partner can have some of my abilities."

He spoke slowly and clearly, his expression serious, "So you can also live in the water with me. Close partners need to be together all the time."

"..." Lu Jian looked at him with dead fish eyes, as if he was looking at a fool, "I'm alone, I want to go into the water with you???"

Just stay calm and leave after completing the task.

Lu Jian glanced at the time and said, "Oh, by the way, I have to go on a long trip."

"...Where are you going?" He tilted his head and stated calmly, "You're not taking me with you?"

“No.” The girl curled her hair guiltily, looking away, not meeting his gaze. “I’m going to school, but don’t worry, I’ll come back to see you.”

Gui Lan knew it very well in his heart.

He is a mermaid, he belongs to the entire ocean, not to the human world.

He could understand that Lu Jian couldn't take him out, and he also knew his current situation.

He had never seen another merman since he became conscious.

Mermaids are born with great strength and hunting instincts. They have memories passed down from generation to generation and powers that cannot be explained by science.

He knew that he came from the sea and that all mermaids had died, so he was kept in captivity here. Humans did not dare to touch him, but instead confined him like a bird in a cage.

If possible, he wanted to kill all these humans.

His eyes slowly drooped, his eyelashes hiding the darkness in his eyes, and then he regained his innocence.

He bit his lower lip lightly, "Will you really come back to see me?"

"Ah."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

What are you waiting for? When I grow up, I will... come find you myself.

The smile on his lips was soft and gentle.

She didn't have much luggage to take, so she packed a few clothes and went to see the director's grandmother.

She went to bed very late last night. She always felt that Gui Lan was too easy to talk to, which was a bit out of character, which made her feel confused.

But Ning Qi felt that Gui Lan was a considerate and kind child, and there was nothing to worry about.

[Don't you think about how long you've been with him?] Lu Jian was speechless, [I've been with him for seven years.]

[In a mermaid's life, seven years is not a long time.] Ning Qi muttered unconvinced.

Lu Jian ignored her and when she saw the director's grandmother, she picked up her bag.

The director's grandmother stood in front of the starship that was about to take off, and looked back at the Blue Star Research Institute with a faint smile on her lips, but sadness on her brow, and she seemed to be feeling a little emotional.

"I have been here for more than 40 years, and I once thought I would never leave here in my lifetime."

Her eyes were red with a hint of reluctance.

Lu Jian stood beside him and said softly, "Come back after you retire."

The Gray Planet is the origin of mankind and the home of all people.

It’s just that many people have forgotten this place and will never come back.

There are less than 300 million people in the world, so housing prices are extremely cheap and everyone can own a large piece of land. However, the green mountains and clear waters of the past are no longer there.

What I face every day are just cold machines, technological cities, and metal-textured rooms.

This was once the dream of mankind.

But they can never find their original intention again.

Director Ms. Fang Ningfan boarded the starship. From then on, she was no longer a member of the Blue Star Research Institute, but she would still shine in other positions.
