56. Night 56 ​​Like

Lu Xi slipped out of the mermaid's arms. The night was silent. The vehicle and the two people had disappeared without a trace.

"It's a pity that we couldn't catch up with them."

The merman listened to her voice which sounded a little regretful but flowed through his heart like a clear spring, and a cell phone appeared in his hand.

"I left a tracker on their car."

Lu Xi was surprised. She didn't expect that he had a trick up his sleeve.

She took the phone and indeed saw a red dot on it. She looked up in confusion and asked, "Why are you looking at the tracker?"

"The phone has been modified. It emits ultrasonic waves that only I can hear and reports the coordinates." Fish are very sensitive to sound waves.

So that's how it is.

Lu Xi didn't rush to chase them. The red dot representing the car was circling on the road, as if trying to avoid being tracked.

They pried open the lock and entered the warehouse, where a strong smell of disinfectant hit their noses. The warehouse had been emptied and nothing was left. However, Lu Xi was very familiar with this smell. During the time when she was kidnapped by poachers, she had smelled this smell every day in that laboratory.

The disinfectant mixed with the disgusting smell of blood made it almost certain that someone had done something similar here before.

Lu Xi frowned. Poachers were already difficult to deal with, and adding an unknown organization to the mix made it even more of a headache.

"The car disappeared." The mermaid suddenly spoke.

Lu Xi looked down at the tracking interface on her phone and happened to catch the last trace of the red dot disappearing on a street.

"It's probably a jammer. Let's go after it."

Lu Xi had already reported the location of the warehouse to the demon tribe in advance. When they went out, the demon tribe's car was parked at the door.

"Lend us the car."

Lu Xi sat in the driver's seat, and the mermaid sat in the passenger seat. They drove on the road relying on their memory. The car last disappeared at the intersection. Lu Xi was in a dilemma and didn't know which way to go.

"This way." He pointed to one of the roads.

Lu Xi was puzzled, "How did you know?"

The mermaid remained silent. The faint scent of flowers from the roadside came to her nose, and some things flashed through her mind with a sharp pain.

"I don't know," he said.

Lu Xi looked at the blurry face of the mermaid in the night, turned the steering wheel, and headed in the direction he pointed. When passing the next intersection, the mermaid spoke again, "Turn left, go straight, turn..."

He spoke with great precision, as if he already knew the location.

Lu Xi stared at him, opened her lips, but didn't ask.

They drove for a while, and the mermaid asked her to park the car in a secluded alley, picked her up and walked across the road.

"Ascent, have you been here?" She couldn't help but ask. The series of actions of the mermaid were very suspicious.

"I don't know." The merman held Lu Xi tightly in his arms and quickly crossed the deserted street. "My head... hurts."

The mermaid held her and gently landed at a place, making a gesture to her to be quiet. She looked from a distance and saw the car she had seen before parked next to a small escape door next to a shopping mall.

Lu Xi looked at the mermaid and became even more suspicious.

There were a lot of surveillance cameras outside the mall, so many that it was abnormal. The liquid that had helped them become invisible before enveloped them again. The mermaid held her and jumped directly onto a window on the third floor that was not closed properly.

After entering the enemy's territory, Lu Xi suddenly became alert. "Can I walk by myself?" she said in his ear.

The soft voice was like sickly sweet candy, and my heart began to feel hot, and the strange feeling from before came back.

Her long eyelashes trembled, "The invisibility will fail."

In fact, it won’t work. He lied to her.

The mermaid held her and carefully explored the way, from the third floor down, to the second floor, the first floor, and the basement floor. The familiar smell came again.

But this place is different from before. There are many people guarding here. Not only are there surveillance cameras, but there are also infrared devices installed.

"We can't go in anymore." Lu Xi said, "Let's go out."

Just then, someone walked out from a door next to her. Lu Xi hurriedly held down the merman. When she looked up, the merman just lowered his head, and Lu Xi's lips gently brushed against his cold and soft lips.

This accident left both of them stunned.

After successfully escaping from the mall and returning to the car, Lu Xi found that the mermaid looked dazed, and she remembered the accident just now.

He can't see, so how can he know what just happened?

"Ms. Lu Xi." He raised his hand and touched his lips, "Just now..."

From his expression, she knew that he probably understood what had just happened. "I'm sorry, I was careless."

He did not respond to Lu Xi's apology, but remained silent all the way back without saying a word.

Lu Xi compiled the information he had obtained into a document and sent it to Ji Qiuhu. He had a good night's rest and someone visited him the next day.

"Hello, are you Miss Lu Xi?" The visitor was a young woman wearing a serious black suit skirt.

"I am, who are you?"

"I'm the one who took over the care of the mermaids. My name is Qingyu."

"Take over?" Lu Xi frowned.

"Yes, I am under orders from my lady."

Madam? Ji Qiuhu? Why?

Lu Xi took out his cell phone and made a call to ask about this matter. A woman's voice came from the other end, "Yes, I ordered it."

"What are you planning?"

"I've contacted a new expert and discussed it with the human you saved. We're planning a new treatment plan."

"What plan?"

"You've been with him for a while now. Although there were some changes at first, things have stabilized recently," the woman said. "That's not enough. I need him to transform faster. We don't have time."

"I want to make him feel a sense of crisis and stimulate his growth in a different way. I will send someone to take you somewhere later."

The people sent by Ji Qiuhu arrived very quickly, and Lu Xi was forced to get in the car. The car made a big circle in Taipei and came to a huge factory in the suburbs. However, after getting off the car, Lu Xi found that it was not a factory, but just disguised as a factory. In fact, there was another world inside.

The factory was surrounded by high walls. There were many buildings here. It was not until Lu Xi walked in that he realized that the floors outside were all disguised. In fact, the inside was not divided like ordinary buildings. It was a large arena.

"Xiao Zhou, are you suffering from insomnia again?"

"Uncle Xiu, is that guy coming today? I had a nightmare last night. Ever since I cleaned up last time, I've been having nightmares all the time."

"That day was a bit tragic. Don't take it to heart. People in our line of work should be more open-minded."

"Uncle Xiu, I also want to have your mentality."

Two employees in uniform were sitting not far away, and their voices could be faintly heard here. However, as they were chatting, they also saw Lu Xi and looked at this strange girl curiously.

The voice became quieter and Lu Xi could no longer hear it.

"Uncle Xiu, this prisoner is really young."

"Don't be fooled by her young age. Those brought here are all unforgivable demons. Don't be fooled by her appearance. Before, there was a guy who was less than 30 years old. Do you know how many bad things he did..."

Lu Xi was taken in and put in a cage.

I don’t know what Ji Qiuhu is up to.

Lu Xi waited in the cage for a while, until later, her cage was hung in the air, and some ferocious-looking monsters were pushed into the arena with chains on their wrists and ankles.

An old man stood outside the field, his cloudy eyes looking at the tall cage, "Kill her, and you will all be acquitted."

The old man's words were like a fuse. With the sound of gunshots that broke anklets and bracelets, those ferocious monsters swarmed towards Lu Xi, stepping on one another. Some of them even jumped up, their sharp claws aimed at her, trying to knock the cage down.

Lu Xi frowned. Did Ji Qiuhu want to kill her?

At this moment, a figure jumped down from a height and stood on the cage that trapped her. "Get away, don't get close to her."

The one standing on top was a mermaid, and he exuded a terrifying aura. Of course, those monsters would not listen to him, and they rushed over desperately. The next scene was something Lu Xi never wanted to see again in her life. The bright red blood almost formed a stream.

However, compared to the past, if the people who cleaned up the scene were to speak, there were more intact bodies this time.

He didn't want her to see that scene.

After the last demon was killed, the cage that trapped Lu Xi was broken and she was carried out.

"You did very well." The old man came over. "The explosive power this time was amazing. I will report it to my wife."

"Your training method is really a bad taste." Lu Xi sneered, "Let a child do this kind of thing."

"This is an internal matter of our demon clan."

Lu Xi wanted to break free from him, but the mermaid refused. He held her hands so tightly that they trembled slightly.

"Let's go back." He said against her head.

He didn't care how many lives he had just killed, he only cared about her safety. His heart almost stopped beating.

When he smelled her scent, it was almost covered by the stench. No one knew that something seemed to crack in his mind, tearing his sanity apart, and he turned into a ruthless executioner like a madman.

From the time they got in the car to the time they returned to their residence, the mermaid refused to let go of her hand. Lu Xi filled the bathtub with water for him, helped him wipe the blood off his body, and changed the water many times before he could wash it clean.

The bathtub could not fit the mermaid’s tail, which looked very beautiful as if it was inlaid with diamonds. However, what concerned Lu Xi more was his tense expression from the beginning to the end of the arena.

"Asen..." She had just opened her mouth when someone grabbed her wrist and pushed her to the edge of the bathtub, making her lose her balance for a moment.

"Ms. Lu Xi..." His voice was low and hoarse, revealing the fragility and fear that was difficult to conceal, "Ms. Lu Xi..."

"Hmm?" She stared into his trembling eyes, "It's okay."

Lu Xi raised her hand to hug him, but he lowered his head faster than her, and his soft, cool lips pressed against hers. She was so startled that she couldn't react. His lips pecked hers clumsily, each stroke very attentively, as if he was worshiping a work of art.

"Asen... well, Te."

Lu Xi wanted to push him away, but when she spoke, he accidentally touched the soft tip of her tongue, and he wrapped it around her and kissed her gently without any instruction. Even though Lu Xi didn't need to breathe, she was kissed into a drowsy state. "Asent, let me go." Lu Xi warned him.

He seemed to be afraid that she would be angry, so he really let go. Lu Xi stared at the mermaid with a serious face, and the mermaid could notice it.

"Why did you kiss me?" she asked.

"I have no idea."

"Don't know?" Lu Xi was so angry that she laughed. In her eyes, he had always been a child. Even though he said he had grown up, she only treated him as a grown-up child and never thought that he would kiss her.

"Is Miss Lu Xi angry?"

"Yes, why did you do that?"

"Why?" He clenched his fists quietly. "If I can't, then can someone else, Miss Lu Xi?"

Lu Xi was stunned by his train of thought.

"This kind of thing should be done with the person you like."

A look of bewilderment appeared on the merman's face, but it soon disappeared. He said, "I like Miss Lu Xi."

The tone was firm and there was no hesitation.

Lu Xi didn't expect him to confess suddenly. She didn't know how to react for a moment and was silent for a long time.
