Chapter 471 is missing

But she hadn't taken two steps when her momentum suddenly slowed down. Without even turning her head, she said to Xia Yan:

"Hurry up! The supervisor said we need to clean Mr. Mermaid up quickly. We can't let him down at tonight's auction!"

The roars came down the corridor and through the iron bars. The guard sitting behind the first door was cursing and stuffing cotton into his ears.

When he saw them, there was a flash of excitement in his eyes that he was about to watch a good show.

He put his legs on the railing and shouted back, "The 'nannies' are finally here! Brothers, there are only two of them this time. I'll crush them all!"

Immediately afterwards, responses rang out in the corridor:

"You bastard, we haven't even seen what you look like yet, what's your bet?"

"Don't forget the rules."

As they were talking, Xia Yan and Fan Shuyi stood in front of a small door that was only wide enough for one person to pass through, waiting for him to open it.

The guard chuckled, reached out to take out the key hidden close to his body, and inserted it into the keyhole. He glanced at Fan Shuyi's trembling body, then glanced at Xia Yan's pale face, stretched his neck and shouted with satisfaction:

"It's my fault for always losing. This time it's finally my turn to be on duty up front, I have to experience the feeling of winning for once~"

"That's true."

"Anyway, since this is the last time today, I'll let you cheat."

When they came in, the guard locked the iron gate again, smiled darkly, and said, "Hold on! Don't let me see you again."

Xia Yan and Fan Shuyi exchanged glances without saying a word.

The guard at the second door opened it without hesitation, but when they reached the third door, the younger guard with messy eyebrows raised sneered, then picked up the crystal core on the table and shook it up and down in his palm.

He stared at them with ill intent, his voice low and threatening. "Although this round only involves three crystal cores, the thought of losing makes me feel sick. How about this? Only one of you has to die. The one who survives will be rewarded with two crystal cores, plus my support. How about that?"

Xia Yan stared at his face for a while and nodded slightly: "I understand."

Fan Shuyi remained silent, but her eyes were filled with extreme shock.

"Hahaha," the guard with chaotic eyebrows laughed out loud. "I like people like you who know how to adapt to the times. As long as you survive, I will reward you with an extra crystal core. I will ask your supervisor to transfer you to a better position. The premise is that if you survive, she must die."

He pointed at Fan Shuyi, his intention obvious.

Xia Yan said easily: "No problem."

As soon as the two of them left, the guard with chaotic eyebrows locked the door, brought in a table and chairs, sat behind the fence and watched from afar with interest.

This is an enclosed space of 20 square meters. There are small lights hanging on three walls. The surroundings are empty, except for a white bucket and a towel hanging on the right side. The only thing left in the empty space is the locked and glaring "Mr. Mermaid" in the middle.

"Mr. Mermaid" is a human being in the true sense of the word - he has an androgynous and proud appearance, his skin is almost transparent white, and when his limbs sway, the color of glass faintly flashes, like a mermaid's beautiful fish tail covered with scales.

Xia Yan admitted that the first time he saw him, he was attracted by his emerald green eyes, which seemed to contain the tranquil waters unique to Lidai Island.

But at this moment, there was no trace of human emotion in those gloomy and cruel eyes.

He struggled desperately as if he had lost his mind, and the iron chains locked around his limbs, neck, waist and abdomen rattled.

When he saw them, he rushed over like a wild beast, the chain sliding quickly behind him and stretching until the veins on his neck were bulging. His hands were still trying to grab, his head shaking, his emerald green pupils staring at them inorganically, and his upper and lower jaws biting hard with a snapping sound.

Xia Yan suddenly felt that this action looked familiar.

“Dang—dang.”

There was a sound of knocking on the iron fence, and the guard with messy eyebrows said lazily and dissatisfiedly: "Don't stand there like an idiot. Do you need me to remind you what to do?

You have to get some water, wet the towel, and wipe it clean bit by bit. Don't leave any place untouched. Do you understand?"

Xia Yan tilted his head.

Fan Shuyi's face was pale, her lips were trembling, and her eyes were full of pain. The guard's teasing voice squeezed into her eardrums little by little. Every word was like a grinning bastard little devil, laughing maliciously around her and stabbing her soft heart with a sharp trident.

She felt an uncontrollable resentment and hatred surging in her heart, ready to burst out. Just as it was approaching the critical point, a hand was placed on her shoulder, squeezing it hard.

"It's almost there, hold on."

The voice was light, but it made her wake up instantly.

It was Boss Xia. Her fair face was full of calmness and composure, as if everything would be successful as long as she was there.

"Okay." Fan Shuyi responded in a low voice.

Seeing that the two of them finally moved to throw in the wet towels, the guard with messy eyebrows felt that it would be boring to watch alone. He needed someone to witness it so that he could win decently.

"Hey guys, since no one's coming over anyway, why don't you come and see the excitement up close? Tomorrow, the three of us will be separated, and we won't have the chance to get together and chat anymore!"

"That makes sense. As long as you lock the door, nothing serious will happen."

"When I think about parting, I still feel a little reluctant to leave you."

The sound of guard gate No. 2 opening was heard, and footsteps approached. Two stools fell to the ground in front of the fence with a clang. The three guards moved in unison, leaning back in their chairs, crossing their legs, and looking at the two young and beautiful cleaners who were cleaning the "mermaid" inside.

"She's quite pretty, what a pity."

"If it were any other day, maybe it would be okay... Unfortunately, today is special, and this person has to leave."

"Well, maybe he'll come back after a while. He needs stabilizers."

"How come Mr. Merman can get so close to zombies, yet never transform into one?"

The guard with messy eyebrows laughed out loud: "That's easy for you to say. Just look at how many people are carried out of the laboratory every day. How many of them survive and live long--"

"Stop! You're so bold as to say anything!" Guard No. 2 broke out in a cold sweat and kept looking back. "We can't talk nonsense about what happened there. Change the subject quickly."

"What are you afraid of? There's no one here. Those two cleaners are going to die soon. The mermaid has no reason..."

"Why are you still so excited? Something has been planted in the three of us. If it can be used for eavesdropping or monitoring, we'll be dead in an instant!" Number Two's face looked extremely ugly. He stood up on the spot, picked up a stool and was about to leave.

The guard with messy eyebrows was not convinced, and his eyes rolled around the quiet Number One, "What do you think, Number One?"

Guard No. 1 chuckled: "Finally I can take my bird for a walk. Damn, the little bird has turned into a giant eagle!"

"A bunch of idiots." Number Two walked back angrily. They didn't know what caution was.

After taking a few steps, I heard someone suddenly stand up and the stool fell to the ground with a loud thud.

Number One's voice rose sharply and fearfully—

“They’re gone!!!”
