Chapter 44 Chapter 44

Mu Mu was sprayed with nutrient solution in the face, and forgot about the ambiguous atmosphere and shook his head frantically.

"Ouch!" Eyes splattered!

"Ding Di!" The housekeeper stretched out the nozzle and rinsed it clean.

Mu Mu wiped his face, opened his eyes and looked around:

"Hurry!" Master, there is a hidden weapon!

"It's nutrient solution." Wen Ming threw away the crushed tube, "Sorry."

Mu Mu looked worried: Such dangerous food...

He raised his hand and carefully wiped off the nutrient solution that splashed on Wen Ming's face.

"The live fish express delivery is coming soon, I'll go get it." Wen Ming whispered, stepping back to avoid its touch.

"Ah."

Mu Mu watched him go out, and caught a glimpse of something by the pool. He reminded in surprise:

"Pfft!" The slippers fell off!

How did the owner become a slob today? He spilled nutrients and lost his slippers.

Mu Mu sat by the pool, with his tail hanging above the slippers, swaying back and forth: "Woo?" Can a fish's tail wear shoes?

It hooked its tail fin, fished out the slipper, and stretched its tail to stuff it in.

The tail fin was slippery, and Mu Mu grabbed it and slid into the slipper.

"!" Now you can walk!

Mu Mu supported the soft wall, trembling on the ground, rubbing his tail left and right to move forward.

It successfully moved forward at a speed of one centimeter per hour.

"..." Forget it.

It sat back, raised its tail, grabbed the slippers with both hands and pulled.

Mu Mu's face flushed with effort, but the slippers were stuck and he couldn't pull them off.

"Bang!"

His hand slipped, and he rolled backwards with the slippers and fell into the mermaid pool.

The tail fin restricted by the slippers was difficult to control. Mu Mu struggled to and fro, and finally grabbed the pool wall and floated to the surface.

"Ah!" Master, come and help me!

Wen Ming didn't respond, and there was a sound of people talking at the door.

Is the live fish coming soon?

Mu Mu licked his mouth in excitement: "Ah——" Come quickly, or I'll stretch out my claws to take off your slippers!

It patted the soft wall rhythmically: Eat fish, eat fish...?

The housekeeper rushed into the mermaid room, and Mu Mu saw "panic" from a machine.

"Ding ding, transferring the mermaid--"

The mechanical arm stretched out towards Mu Mu, and faster than the mechanical arm was a smell spreading in the air.

Mu Mu wrinkled his nose and wanted to ask, "Why does the fish smell strange today?", but found that his throat was so hoarse that he couldn't make any sound.

It fell into the pool water weakly, and before its consciousness fell into darkness, it felt the slippers on its tail break, like a rubber band that couldn't bear the support.

"?" It was clearly controlling the change of shape, so why did its tail grow longer and bigger by itself?

Strange...

a few minutes ago.

Wen Ming "escaped" from the mermaid room in a disorderly manner, leaned on the sink, and observed himself in the mirror.

His face was still calm, but his eyes seemed to be filled with boiling water, burning and scalding.

He splashed cold water on his face, but it was just a way to stop the boiling water. In his mind, all he could see was Mu Mu.

"Ding, the express has arrived." The door sounded a reminder.

Wen Ming came to the door, and the screen on the door showed the express picture. Next to the package, there was a pair of military boots.

In order to conceal the truth, different things were randomly noted on the live fish express every day. Today's was -

"Strength trainer?" The capable female voice read out the words on the express note.

Wen Ming opened the door and adjusted his expression: "Marshal."

The military-clad woman with a high ponytail nodded and said: "Have you kept up with your training? When will you go to the military academy to teach those students who are not good at physical training?"

Wen Ming whispered: "About the laboratory?"

The marshal said seriously: "When we went to search, we found nothing unusual. It must have been moved because we made a mistake."

After she finished speaking, she opened the computer screen and turned on the real-time video:

"Wen Ming, I received a report that there may be domesticated creatures in your home that do not comply with interstellar laws. Please cooperate with the investigation."

Wen Ming's eyes narrowed: "Report?"

The marshal raised his hands to indicate that he had no weapons: "Don't worry, the whole process is recorded and notarized. There will be no behavior that harms you or special species."

"He's the informant?" Professor Yin?

The marshal nodded and then shook his head, pointing at the people who were approaching.

Professor Yin's subordinates, along with a few people from the Mermaid Center, faced Wen Ming with gritted teeth: "We are the informants."

"You know what the interstellar law stipulates for special species, right?"

Wen Ming lowered his eyes, looking intimidating without being angry. Professor Yin's subordinates opened their mouths several times but couldn't say a word.

The marshal helped to answer: "If it is really a special species, it will be included in the scope of military protection."

"I know." The subordinate took out a glass bottle, "But what we reported is a dangerous species!"

"Bang!"

The subordinate pulled out the piston of the small bottle and quickly sprinkled some powder into the house, emitting a strange smell.

Wen Ming immediately turned on the air circulation system in his home, but he was too slow, and the smell of powder spread to the surroundings within seconds.

At that moment, Wen Ming understood why Professor Yin did not come in person -

he sent cannon fodder to explain that this matter was life-threatening.

Wen Ming held the door, turned around and said to the housekeeper: "Move the mermaid to the underground mecha room, quickly."

The robot's wheels turned so fast that sparks were flying, and it disappeared around the corner of the mermaid room.

The marshal did not understand the situation and asked his subordinates: "What dangerous species..."

"Roar--"

Before he finished speaking, a violent roar from deep inside the house almost blew off the roof.

This cry is similar to the timbre of a mermaid, but it contains the intimidation of a species higher up the food chain.

The subordinate put away the bottle and picked up the capture net launcher: "Did you hear that? The mermaid's roar alone is so intimidating, it will threaten our lives!"

He was about to rush in, but the door was blocked by Wen Ming and could not be pushed no matter how hard he pushed.

Wen Ming was unmoved and stared at the computer in the Marshal's video recording: "Will the video be released?"

"No, the videos about species are all military secrets." The Marshal's eyes swept across the people in the Mermaid Center, "and they all signed a confidentiality agreement before coming here."

There was another loud noise from the direction of the mermaid room, as if a machine had been smashed away.

The marshal looked inside in suspicion and urged:

"Wen Ming, this is a residential area. If it runs out and hurts someone, then..."

It will be identified as a dangerous species and sent to the laboratory for detention like the Zerg.

The group followed Wen Ming and came to the door of the mermaid room.

It was a mess inside, and the pool water was all over the floor.

The housekeeper was lying upside down, with the wheels spinning idly above, and the two mechanical arms were cut off, lying dead on the wet ground.

The "mysterious species" lay on the edge of the pool, and every time its tail swung, the soft wall was cut open by the sharp tail fin.

"It is undoubtedly a mermaid."

The subordinate aimed the capture net launcher at it: "It is now a wild beast controlled by the instinct of the species. It is extremely dangerous. We have to catch it with a fiber optic net!"

The bottle of powder that Professor Yin handed to him was originally discovered together with the ancient book that recorded mermaids.

There has been new progress in the deciphering of the ancient book. They learned that the smell of the powder can make mermaids lose their minds and take off their disguises.

The marshal looked at the messy mermaid room and waited for it: "What a terrible destructive power..."

Wen Ming blocked most of the door with his body:

"Are you sure it is dangerous?"

The mermaid stared at the humans at the door for a while, and turned his head without interest.

It was first attracted by the wheel that the housekeeper kept turning, and its claws followed the direction of the rotation and scratched it a few times.

It noticed the swaying water plants in the mermaid pond, raised its tail and aimed carefully, then suddenly jumped over and tore the water plants.

"Pah! Pah!"

It spat out a mouthful of decorative fake water plants and rolled in the water angrily.

"Roar!" How could there be such unpalatable water plants! There is no grass taste at all!

Marshal:...

Isn't this just a big cat with a playful heart?

"Don't let your guard down!" the subordinate shouted anxiously.

If the Marshal does not determine that the mermaid is a dangerous species, he will not be able to catch it and bring it back to the laboratory!

If the mermaid kills a few people, it will be easy to deal with...

The subordinate blocked his mouth and whispered to the people behind him: "Go and open the package at the door."

"Ah? You told us before that we don't have to do anything, and we will get a bonus if we follow."

"Go quickly, and you can get a bonus if you do as I say."

Looking at their backs, the subordinate raised his lips.

He just kicked the package accidentally and heard the sound of liquid flowing——

"Hey? Live fish?"

Those people pushed aside the express delivery, and the fish jumped to their feet.

"Roar!"

The mermaid smelled the fish, and his dark blue pupils became deeper. He flicked his powerful tail and rushed over following the smell of the fish.

The subordinate pulled the marshal out of the door of the mermaid room.

The mermaid's goal was not to attack those people, but the fish under their feet.

But the mermaid's tail fin could easily scratch the pool wall. If it got close to them, it would swing its claws and tail, which would definitely hurt them.

Maybe it would even be scattered all over the place...

"Not good!" The marshal grabbed the capture net launcher from his subordinate and aimed it at the mermaid.

The subordinate's face lit up: It's stable!

The marshal tacitly acknowledged the danger of the mermaid and pressed the switch of the capture machine.

The machine was suddenly blocked by a figure.

"!" The marshal's pupils shrank, "Get out of the way! We're just using the fiber optic net to restrict its movements, we won't hurt it!"

Wen Ming seemed unaware of the crisis and still stood between the mermaid and them.

The subordinates couldn't believe it: "You don't think it can recognize you?"

The smell of the powder evoked the nature of the mermaid. In front of the mermaid's hunting instinct, all "masters" and "old feelings" had to stand aside.

The bottle in his hand was the ultimate overwhelming "magic" for the mermaid!

Seeing the mermaid approaching Wen Ming violently, his claws slashed at him mercilessly...

"Wen Ming!"

"Sizzle--"

Wen Ming took out the perfume bottle and sprayed it at the flying mermaid.

Marshal:?

Subordinates:?

Use magic to defeat magic.

The smell of ocean perfume mixed with powder, the mermaid seemed to be frozen in time, keeping the action of stretching its claws towards Wen Ming.

"Mumu, it's okay."

"Roar... Ouch?"

...

Mumu was haunted by nightmares.

It dreamed of its childhood, when it was a little mermaid living in the sea.

"Mom, look, there is a glowing little fish over there!" The little mermaid chased the little fish and played with it.

"Don't swim too far! There is thunder and lightning today, which will disrupt the interference sound waves emitted by the tribe, and it may be detected by other species!"

The mermaid mother did not call the little mermaid back, and was helpless: "This child is too naughty, curious about everything..."

"Ouch——"

Hearing the little mermaid's scream, the mermaid mother hurried over.

It was a step too late. The little mermaid was already wrapped in a large fishing net and was struggling hard inside.

"!" The mermaid mother bit the fishing net and tore it with all her might, while cutting it with her claws.

The sharp claws that could normally cut off a whole piece of reef could not leave even the slightest scratch on the fishing net.

Fiber optic fishing nets are the nemesis of physical attacks.

"It's humans who can use high technology!" The mermaid mother looked desperate.

The little mermaid was still grinding the fishing net with his teeth that had just grown out, and his speech was unclear:

"Mom, save the nest!"

The fishing net began to rise, trapping the little mermaid and dragging the big mermaid, gradually approaching the sea surface.

At this rate, both of them will be caught...

A struggle flashed in the mermaid mother's eyes: "Child, never reveal your abilities, pretend to be an ordinary mermaid and stay alive!"

The little mermaid grabbed the fishing net helplessly: "Ordinary, mermaid? That mermaid..."

"You are no longer a mermaid!" The mermaid mother roared fiercely, "Why don't you put away your hunting form?" The

little mermaid was so scared that he turned into a mermaid, his fingers passed through the mesh of the net, and he wanted to hug his mother again with tears in his eyes.

The mermaid mother grabbed its hand and swam upstream following the fishing net, tears rolling down her eyes:

"You must remember what I said, the mermaid race has abandoned you, I have also abandoned you, live as a mermaid in the future..."

The little mermaid's hand slipped from her mother's hand, and she cried until her voice was hoarse as she watched her mother's figure become smaller and smaller.

The fishing net was finally pulled out of the sea, and it was grabbed by a pair of hands and thrown heavily onto the deck.

"Oh my god, they caught a little blue mermaid from the sea? How did it survive in the sea?"

"It must be a mermaid, the radar just detected the location of the mermaid's sound waves."

"No, it looks like a mermaid!"

The little mermaid couldn't understand what these humans were mumbling.

It was suppressed by several spiritual seas, baring its teeth at the strange species around it, wanting to stretch out its claws to pinch them a few times.

'You are no longer a mermaid! '

"Boom!" There

were lightning and thunder in the sky, and the little mermaid was swaying with the wind and waves, constantly scratching the deck.

It has no home anymore...

"Squeak--"

"Mu Mu, it's okay."

No, it has a home!

Mu Mu sniffed the ocean-scented perfume and suddenly opened his eyes.

The mermaid's body shrank, and Mu Mu shook his head, his eyes regained clarity.

When he looked up, he saw the strange face behind Wen Ming.

"Ah?" So many guests came to the house?

Mu Mu turned around and looked around -

the water plants in the mermaid pond were scattered, the shell patterns on the soft wall were scratched, and the little housekeeper was standing upside down on the wet and messy ground...

Mu Mu was so angry that his fins exploded, his eyes widened: "Ah!" Who did this? ?
