Chapter 45 Chapter 45

Mu Mu had no memory of the time when he lost consciousness, but he accurately smelled that there was a person at the door of the mermaid room who smelled like his former master.

It must be that bad guy who came to destroy the master's home!

The face of Professor Yin's subordinate turned into a hideous look in Mu Mu's eyes.

"Ah!" I'll fight you!

"Mu Mu." Wen Ming stopped it, "Don't use your claws or teeth."

Mu Mu was instantly sealed from all means: "Wu?" Then can I whip him with my tail?

Wen Ming picked up a mechanical arm that fell on the ground and handed it to it.

"Ah!" This thing is useful!

Mu Mu held the mechanical arm tightly and suddenly smelled the scent of blood.

A shallow mark appeared on Wen Ming's arm, and blood dripped from it.

Mu Mu was extremely angry, two flames ignited in his blue pupils, and he raised his mechanical arm and rushed over:

"Hurry!" You're hurting my master!

The subordinate was still shocked by the ocean-scented perfume, and was confused:

"Huh?" Coming for me?

Mu Mu slid on the wet ground, like a penguin skating on its belly, and in the blink of an eye, he slid to his feet, swung his mechanical arm and whipped his legs hard.

"Fuck, it hurts! How can you be so strong?"

The subordinate jumped up and down as if he was standing on a stove, dodging the attack of the mechanical arm that was like a mermaid's whip.

"Marshal, quickly use the trap to catch it!"

The marshal shrugged and put away the trap: "It looks like a small figurine, with no attack power. It is confirmed to be a species that needs protection."

"Who needs protection now?!"

The subordinate begged for mercy from the little mermaid in pain: "I didn't destroy your room, it was you! I didn't hurt your master either, you scratched him when you pounced over!"

"Boo!" Lies one after another!

Mu Mu hit him even harder: I never destroy my own nest when I destroy a house, let alone hurt my master!

The mechanical arm made of hard star steel is particularly painful when hitting people, and the subordinate jumped back to the wall.

As long as this mermaid kills or seriously injures people, it can be identified as a "dangerous species" and taken back to the laboratory for imprisonment.

But...

the subordinate felt the burning in his legs, his expression twisted: although it hurt enough, it was hard to judge it as a minor injury.

Bai was beaten.

The people who went to the door to open the package saw him being chased and beaten by the mermaid, and they were surprised:

"You just let it hit you? Quickly use your spiritual sea to suppress it!"

The subordinate was overwhelmed by the pain and subconsciously listened to what they said, urging his spiritual sea...

Wen Ming leaned over and picked it up from behind.

The subordinate's spiritual sea was far less powerful than Professor Yin's. The energy he emitted dissipated immediately when it touched Wen Ming, and he could not suppress the little mermaid.

"Using the spiritual sea attack on protected species will result in a minimum of five years in interstellar prison."

Wen Ming's eyes were shining coldly, and he confirmed with the Marshal: "The whole process was recorded, right?"

"Indeed." The Marshal took out a star cuff and cuffed his subordinate's hands.

"Ah?" The subordinate looked around in panic, and found countless excuses to escape, but none of them worked.

With his last hope, he looked at the people brought by the Mermaid Center:

"Help me!"

Those people were shocked when they saw the star cuffs: "Okay, we will tell Professor Yin for you that you will not go back to work in the future."

"You guys!"

"We will not violate the confidentiality agreement." They promised the Marshal and Wen Ming, and then dispersed.

The subordinate's eyes were red with anger: "I..." I'm obviously here to catch mermaids and bring them into the laboratory.

How come he was the one who went in at the end?

"Hoo..."

Mu Mu kept baring his teeth at him, snorting, and sneezing several times in succession.

The smell of powder and perfume was basically blown away by the ventilation system. Mu Mu leaned towards the subordinate, as if holding on to something he was carrying.

The subordinate held the bottle of powder tightly.

There was only one bottle of this powder, and the laboratory had not analyzed the composition of the powder. He absolutely could not throw it away.

"Hmph!" The little mermaid twisted in Wen Ming's arms.

Wen Ming held it close to the subordinate: "Give it to me."

The subordinate pretended not to hear.

Wen Ming held the mermaid in one arm and suddenly punched him.

Even the marshal next to him felt the wind of the punch. Based on her experience, if this punch was thrown, a broken nose and blood in the pupil would be the lightest consequences.

She wanted to ask Wen Ming for a link to a strength trainer.

"It's recording!" she reminded.

The punch stopped right in front of his face.

The subordinate dodged in shock, and the back of his head hit the wall with a "bang".

He saw stars, his whole body was exhausted, and the small bottle fell freely.

Mu Mu's tail flicked and caught the bottle, then bounced upward and caught it steadily.

"Ouch!" You dropped it yourself, and it's mine if I pick it up!

The subordinate covered his head with his hands, with an unwilling expression as if he wanted to snatch it back: "Hit me?"

"Did I touch you?" Wen Ming looked down at him with dark eyes, and pressed the mermaid's shoulders to block his peeping.

"But..."

"Go to the interstellar court to argue." The marshal called his men and took Professor Yin's subordinates away.

"Let's talk about it next--" The Marshal raised his eyebrows at Mu Mu, "It has been confirmed that it is not a mermaid, but a merman."

Mu Mu's body was stiff, and he couldn't believe his ears.

It scratched Wen Ming's collar with its claws: "Woo." I don't remember that I was exposed!

Without the annoying people around, Mu Mu stopped pretending to be fierce, and his voice almost melted the Marshal.

"Don't worry, your identity is kept secret." The Marshal lowered his voice, "I came to confirm your existence this time to protect you."

Mu Mu struggled for a while whether she could trust her, and finally chose to turn her head and bury herself in Wen Ming's arms.

It was more adept at "whining" and acting coquettishly than ordinary mermaids, and nudged Wen Ming's neck with its nose:

"Huh?" Can I trust her?

Wen Ming raised his arms and helped it change to a comfortable position: "Yeah."

Marshal: OoO

Damn it, where is Admiral Wen Ming who used to cooperate with her to kill the enemy on the battlefield?

"Ahem!" The Marshal continued, "Wen Ming, it is not a species that can be bred according to interstellar law."

Mu Mu was struck by lightning.

These words hit it harder than exposing its hunting form.

Its tail fin exploded as it rushed forward, its gills opened and closed rapidly, and it opened its mouth with the tips of its teeth pressed against the side of Wen Ming's neck.

As long as it switched to its hunting form for a moment, the arteries under its skin would be punctured.

It begged and threatened Wen Ming:

"Woo woo..." Don't abandon me.

It had been abandoned so many times, and it finally found a home that accepted it.

"Mermaids don't have the ability to survive independently, so they are raised by humans.

But according to the information provided by the informant, mermaids are natural underwater hunters from the ocean star. They love freedom, belong to nature, and are unwilling to be tamed."

Hearing the three words "ocean star", Mu Mu's bite on Wen Ming's neck loosened a little.

The Marshal said to Wen Ming sincerely: "Please respect its nature and end the current wrong confinement."

Mu Mu held the small bottle filled with powder tightly, and the tip of its tail swayed left and right, like a shaky balance.

Wen Ming pursed his lips: "No one can decide for it, it has its own will."

"Then leave time for you to discuss, I'll wait outside."

Outside the door, there was the sound of a large airship landing.

"The airship that can jump to Ocean Star is in place and can set off at any time." The Marshal left this sentence before leaving.

The mermaid room returned to silence.

Mu Mu, who occasionally hummed a few times just now, is now silent, with his chin resting on Wen Ming's shoulder in a daze.

"Mumu, don't be afraid. As long as you don't want to go, I will find a way to let you stay."

Wen Ming felt the little mermaid hesitate for a few seconds and nodded.

"So, think it over before answering me."

Wen Ming put Mumu on the soft wall and looked it straight in the eye:

"Do you want to stay with me?"

This time Mumu did not hesitate: "Oh."

Wen Ming smiled lightly, turned around and picked up the overturned housekeeper: "Okay, the mermaid room needs to be renovated, go to the sleeping cabin tonight..."

When he looked back again, he found Mumu looking out the window.

The color of the curtains was reflected on the glass, and the sea blue was faintly floating. Mumu blinked in confusion, as if he saw the picture of another world.

The arc of Wen Ming's mouth disappeared, and he changed the question:

"Then do you want to go back to Ocean Star?"

Mumu glanced at him carefully and shook his head.

Little mermaids are the worst at hiding their thoughts.

It didn't dare to look out the window again, and stared at the tip of its tail with its eyes downcast, as if it was afraid that if it chose to "return to the Ocean Star", it would never see Wen Ming again.

Wen Ming approached it: "Do you want to live in the ocean, or are there other mermaids waiting for you?"

Mu Mu grabbed his hand and led him to feel the vibration of his vocal cords:

"...a...ma."

The pronunciation of the word "mother" is very similar in different languages ​​of different races.

Wen Ming understood and whispered: "I know.

Go ahead."

"!" Mu Mu grabbed his hand tightly and cried anxiously.

"But I'm not that generous. I can't bear to return you to the sea."

Wen Ming stroked its neck with his fingers: "When you return to the tribe, you will find a mermaid companion, lay eggs, grow up with the little mermaid, and spend the rest of your life in a sea that I can never reach, right?"

Mu Mu felt a little aggrieved and confused:

"Huh?"

"Three days."

Wen Ming glanced at his computer: "Three days later, there will be a passenger boat that will jump to the ocean star, and I will pick you up."

Mu Mu's brain finally loaded the meaning of this sentence, and the corners of his mouth rose a little:

"Ah!"

"Will you go home with me then?"

"Ah!!!" Mu Mu jumped up and hung on him.

"No!" How can you be so smart? I'm going to say hello to my mother, and you must remember to pick me up on time!

After going through a series of chaotic situations, Mu Mu's hair was disheveled, rubbing against Wen Ming's face wetly.

"Sit down and braid your hair."

Mu Mu took the initiative to get the comb, put it in Wen Ming's hand, and sat obediently with her back to him.

The little mermaid was in a good mood like the moment when a bubble burst. Her tail beat the rhythm on the water surface, humming a tune, and her head swaying from side to side made it more difficult to braid her hair.

Wen Ming heard that it was humming the theme song of a soap opera, and chuckled:

"Will other mermaids laugh at me if I sing out of tune?"

Mu Mu pursed her lips: "Oh." I won't sing in front of them. I was laughed at when I was a child.

Wen Ming finished the last step of braiding: "But you are the mermaid with the most beautiful hairstyle, they will all envy you."

Mu Mu smiled foolishly and touched her hair: "Oh?" Where's the hairpin?

"It's dangerous to get your head entangled in seaweed."

Wen Ming took off the shell necklace from his neck and put it on it: "Wear this."

Mu Mu was puzzled: You don't want to wear it anymore?

"I'm afraid that if I touch the shell, I won't be able to help but jump to the ocean star to catch you, and then hide you in a place where no one knows."

Mu Mu was amused and laughed a few times.

It turned around to look at Wen Ming and found that his expression was quite serious.

"......?" Mu Mu's grinning mouth froze, "Huh!" Are you kidding?

"Ding ding!" The family housekeeper came to the side of the mermaid room, "The mechanical arm was detected to be damaged and needs maintenance... Click!"

Wen Ming picked up a mechanical arm, inserted it into the gap of the fuselage, and pried open the outer shell of the machine.

The family housekeeper issued a series of garbled electronic sounds, and white smoke came out with a "boom".

"Ah!" Little housekeeper!

Mu Mu grabbed Wen Ming in shock: Why don't we hire a professional maintenance technician! ?
