"Mr. Desaro, you named this mermaid... Agares?" Shakral widened the eyes behind the golden eyes in surprise, looking at Agares in front of the glass hatch in disbelief: "And it How could it answer your call, my God! It obeyed your instructions? How did you do it?" "

    No, no, no! You got the doctor wrong!" I suddenly realized that I had made the same mistake again, and hurriedly Quickly walked away from the cabin door until out of Agareth's sight, then waved his hand and explained to Shakaral: "That word is not the mermaid's name, but just a most effective pronoun for calling it, and Da Vinci Discussed with me, the meaning of this word is very likely...may be..."

    "What could it be?" Shakaral followed and walked over, she straightened her glasses and looked at me expectantly. But the next sentence was blocked in my throat, as if even breathing was blocked, which made my cheeks swell and heat up.

    I know I'm blushing, because I really don't know how to use scientific terms to interpret what I want to express.

    Courtship? estrus? Courtship? Expressing desire to mate?

    It seems that no matter how you say it, it sounds full of indescribable ambiguity. I don't know what's wrong with me. If I were explaining an orangutan or a monkey, an animal with similar genes to humans, I would not feel a little embarrassed, even if the orangutan showed its reproductive organs in front of me. .

    But it was Agares, and in his presence, saying the meaning of the word became a kind of mental torture for me, which was embarrassing enough to make me crawl into a crack in the ground.

    Maybe I'm subconsciously treating Agares as a human being?

    No no, this is absolutely impossible!

    When I was thinking wildly in my mind, I just stared at Shakral in a daze, and even the tip of my nose was sweating. Shakaral grabbed my hands and waited for my answer, which made me even more at a loss, so I could only wink to Rhine for help, but he looked at the show with a cold eye, as if he was waiting for me to ask for trouble. Lessons are good.

    hateful.

    Shakaral handed me an electronic cigarette again. I bit it in my mouth and swallowed: "Yes... it means that I am your companion." I swore in my heart that I didn't deliberately lie against the spirit of scientific truth-seeking , but spoke nonsense: "Perhaps because of this, mermaids are immediately attracted to this string of words. This must be a signal of special meaning in the mermaid population. As for the specific meaning, Da Vinci and I still have reservations. It needs to be observed in the future."

    Shakaral was obviously disappointed by my answer, she turned her head to look at Agares, and sighed regretfully: "Lilith is a clone we have cultivated through untold hardships, I didn't expect it to be burned like this...I really don't know why this male mermaid suddenly went crazy and used her as food..."

    With these words, my heart also tightened, and I didn't even dare to turn my head to look at Lilith's tragic situation in the reservoir. The guilt that had been stalking from just now became heavy at this moment, suppressing my heartbeat.

    I couldn't help but pressed a button on my chest: "I don't understand this either, Da Vinci said that the mermaid has been on a hunger strike since coming here, and the dolphins in a reservoir are safe with him ..."

    "So, Desaro, we need your wholehearted assistance, only you can communicate with mermaids." Shakral interrupted me, and put a hand on my shoulder, fingers through the clothes Gently pinching my bones, he said word by word, "You are indeed a biological genius as Da Wenxi said. I solemnly request you to accept the employment of our research institute and take charge of the mermaid research project. I think, The results of this research are also the key to your graduation inspection, right? And this result is equally important for a biotechnology research project of the Russian government." "You mean... let me work

    for the government?" I took a deep breath In one breath, I felt the pressure drop from the sky, but I couldn't refuse her request. I intuitively think that the tone of Shakaral’s statement to me is not as if he was speaking as a doctor, but as a request with the authority of a colonel. If I refuse, I may miss the great opportunity to study mermaids. , Just thinking about this is enough to make me agree without hesitation. I nodded: "I accept."

    "Then, as a mentor, I will guide Desaro to complete the project research. He has no experience, and he is not a member of the research institute, doctor."

    Rhine on the side quickly interjected, There was a bit of unconcealable tension in his tone, as if there was something in his words. I had never seen Rhine look so cautious, so I couldn't help but feel a little strange.

    Shakral glanced at him meaningfully, folded his arms lightly, and turned his back: "Unfortunately, I mean that Desaro needs to complete the research independently, Rhine, you should trust your students, he What you said is generally excellent, as a tutor, your obligations have been fulfilled."

    "No! Do it independently? Do you know what kind of terrifying creature this mermaid is? I must be responsible for the safety of my students!"

    Rhine protested, he blocked my body with one hand, as if Shakaral would kidnap me forcibly, his whole body exuded an unusual vigilance. This makes me feel really incomprehensible, Rhine is not my guardian, why is there any reason to restrict my decision in this way, not only does he want to violate my body, but now he even wants to control my mind?

    I will never let him succeed.

    "I think I can complete independent research, Dr. Shakral!" I insisted on contradicting Rhine, retreated to Shakaral, and faced Rhine. His eyes became very complicated at some point. A deep sense of regret was read in the pupils.

    "Come back, Desaro, you still have a choice now."

    He looked at me, his eyes were like sharp arrows, but he said a puzzling sentence. Seeing Shakaral next to him, he suddenly raised his finger and touched the pen on his chest, as if he wanted to take it out to write something, but Rhine's expression suddenly changed at this moment, as if he saw something extremely terrifying, Then he convulsed violently as if he had received an electric shock, and fell to the ground.

    I froze for a second or two in astonishment, and Shakral screamed, squatting down and pushing Rhine's body: "Oh my God, he fainted? Let's send him to the hospital!"

    She yelled like this, and several military guards who came in with us quickly rushed in from outside. Before I could get up to check, Rhine was quickly carried out by them.

    "Hey, wait, what's wrong with him?" I followed up strangely, but was grabbed by Shakral's clothes, "It's nothing, don't worry. Rhine has worked with me before, and he suffers from epilepsy. In this way, don’t worry, he will get immediate treatment, and above the laboratory is the best hospital in Iceland.” “

    Oh, this is really surprising!” I felt relieved, feeling a little incredible. Rhine looks as healthy as a soldier, but he has epilepsy. No wonder he sometimes feels like a lunatic to me.

    ...

    That night, under Shakaral's arrangement, my desk, bed, and even a simple shower table were arranged in the observation room on the third floor, which looked like my living room. I was very satisfied with it, so I can conduct record research without distraction, and it is clear at a glance from the transparent glass floor.

    However, despite the high-tech barrier equipment, being in the same room with mermaids still makes me a little scared, but Shakaral told me that the guards are at the door, as long as I call on the computer on the desk, they can come in at any time to protect my safety , And, before she left, she left me an anesthesia gun that could fire continuously, which effectively dispelled my worries.

    I think tonight is probably a sleepless night.

    Because I actually have a laboratory that is completely my own, and it is under the sea. And tomorrow, I can start this merman research project that I have been looking forward to for many years.

    It's exciting.

    I closed my eyes, tried to make myself fall asleep peacefully, and soon fell asleep.
