Chapter 9: Liar Fish
The thick black chains were rusty, and the prison didn't even know to replace them with new ones. When Shen Yu grabbed the chains, he felt their weight and the smell of rust. He muttered in his heart, and when he saw that Chen Li didn't speak, he raised his voice, "Hmm?" The chain on his hand tightened, causing Chen Li to absentmindedly take a step forward. It was this approach that made him move closer.
Shen Yu heard him whisper.
"Why do you smell so good?"
"Do you like the smell of shower gel?" Chen Yu couldn't smell the scent on his body. Seeing that he kept his head down, she thought he was doing it on purpose and frowned.
But he saw Chen Li raised his head, and through the thin lenses, Shen Yu saw with his own eyes a pair of light blue pupils, which flashed and turned brown in the blink of an eye.
Shen Yu was confused, but Chen Li cooperated and told him his number.
[No.: 5209.]
Hearing his cooperation, Shen Yu loosened the chain in his hand and turned the screen of the live broadcast room.
Netizens in the live broadcast room originally thought that Shen Yu would definitely not be able to be interviewed this time, but who would have thought that the man who had just looked disdainful would obediently say his number and even say what crime he had committed.
Netizen: Did they make some deal behind the scenes?
What's even more outrageous is yet to come. Netizens thought to themselves that maybe it was just a coincidence and that the prisoner must be timid. But when Shen Yu walked out of this cell and turned into the next cell, he found that these criminals had become more honest.
Netizen: Wait, something doesn’t feel right to me.
After Shen Yu smoothly interviewed most of the criminals, netizens began to wonder if this was a fifth-level criminal.
Why is it different from the violent scenes that appeared in the previous live broadcast?
They were ready to wait, and while they were waiting, Shen Yu finally encountered an obstacle when interviewing the new prisoners.
The other person was tall and strong, with a rough face and a crew cut. When he saw Shen Yu coming over, he looked at her with disdain and said, "Do you think I'm that loser Chen Li and I'm afraid of you?"
As soon as he said this, the prisoners around him whispered, "Isn't this giving Brother Chen no face? Didn't you see that Brother Chen allowed him to interview us, so we gave him face. This Boss Ma is deliberately trying to make trouble."
"It seems this beautiful prison guard is on her own."
"But I feel a little sorry for the beauty."
"Damn, I think I feel that way too, but when I think about that arrogant, contemptuous prison guard being cornered and bullied by dirty criminals like us, until he keeps crying, it's so exciting."
After hearing the prisoners' whispered discussions, netizens in the live broadcast room realized that the tall and strong guy in front of them seemed to be at odds with Chen Li.
The man in front of him, called Boss Ma, was imprisoned for theft. Before Chen Li came in, he was the boss of this group. Who would have known that Chen Li, who looked like a pretty boy when he came in, turned out to be a tough guy who was pretending to be a pig but was actually a tiger.
Boss Ma initially wanted to teach the newcomer Chen Li a lesson, but who would have thought that Chen Li, a new beta, would dare to challenge him, an S-level alpha, alone, and humiliate him in front of many younger brothers, which also led to his title of boss being taken away by Chen Li.
Boss Ma had a grudge against Chen Li, who was just a low-level beta, but dared to compete with him for a position. He attacked Chen Li several times in private, but suffered the consequences every time. The relationship between the two became increasingly worse.
Boss Ma had just watched the whole process and sarcastically thought that Chen Li didn't dare to show his power to Shen Yu because of her beauty. So he took the initiative to speak, determined to step forward and show everyone his majesty, so that they would understand that he would not be influenced by beauty.
But just as he finished his provocative words, the beauty turned around, dissatisfaction appeared on her little face, and she raised her neck arrogantly and walked to the glass door of his cell.
He was arrogant, waving the baton in his hand and questioning him loudly.
"Say that again."
Her amber eyes, coupled with her extremely fair complexion, were like a lark among thorns, dazzling and blinding.
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Shen Yu raised his eyes and looked at him seriously, only to find that Boss Ma's face was flushed red. He grunted for a long time before speaking.
"My name is Ma Xin."
"I'm asking for your number."
When I asked them their numbers one by one, they all said their names.
Shen Yu felt that each of them had problems with their ears.
However, the netizens in the live broadcast room said with a look of seeing through.
【They are all a bunch of face-chasers. 】
Chen Yu finished the subsequent interview smoothly. After that, Ning finally found an opportunity to switch shifts with someone and came to find Chen Yu. The two happened to meet in the corridor.
"Are you okay?" Ning Zhong looked him up and down worriedly. Noticing that his clothes were neat and his face was clean, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, these prisoners are very well behaved. It's just that the prisoners in this group are a little stupid."
Ning Zhong asked him in surprise: "Are they stupid?"
Shen Yu nodded: "I asked them for their numbers, but they all said their names."
Ning Zhong paused when he heard this, and glanced at Shen Yu's perfectly contoured profile. He grabbed Shen Yu's wrist and reminded him, "None of these prisoners are easy to mess with. How about I take you to the training room today to practice some fighting skills?"
"Okay! But I have something to do right now, so I need to go to Instructor Tang."
In fact, he wanted to give something to the mermaid. Chen Yu couldn't tell his purpose, so he simply made an excuse. After Ning Zhong heard it, he didn't doubt his words. The two of them set a time for the fight in the evening and then separated.
After separating, Chen Yu followed the instructions of the optical computer and came to the cell where the mermaid lived.
In the mermaid's cell was a pool, some corals and black stones. The mermaid seemed to be still sleeping, lying on the stones in the pool with her tail curled up and her purple curly hair floating in the pool, spreading out in all directions.
As Shen Yu approached the cell, the mermaid with her back to him trembled, probably sensing someone coming.
The mermaid slowly turned around, her purple eyes caught sight of Chen Yu in front of her, and she immediately swam towards him as if she had met a creature she liked.
"Who are you?" The mermaid swung its shimmering tail and tilted its head to look at the creature in front of it curiously. The curious look made Shen Yu feel that the mermaid in front of him did not look very dangerous, but thinking of Ning Zhong's warning, he still looked around to confirm that there were no prison guards here. Then, in a blind spot that was invisible to the surveillance and robots, he showed the medal on his palm to the mermaid.
"Someone asked me to give this to you."
After Shen Yu finished speaking, he clenched his fists for fear of being discovered, and hid the medal in his palms. "The robot that delivers the food will come in later, and I will hide the medal on the robot."
He inquired about the prisoners' meal times. Because mermaids have different habits and cannot leave the water at will, their meals are usually delivered by special robots.
Chen Yu felt his plan was perfect, and the mermaid's purple eyes sparkled, looking at him with something akin to admiration. The whole fish lay on the glass and said innocently, "You're so awesome."
"No, no." Shen Yu waved his hand modestly.
The mermaid was lying on the glass door, staring at him adoringly with her purple eyes. For some reason, Shen Yu felt as if there were whirlpools hidden in his eyes. For a moment, Shen Yu forgot where he was.
Someone seemed to be lying next to his ear, and the soft and moving voice was so numb that it made him want to give his all to her.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Shen Yu."
"What is your relationship with the person who sent the medal?"
"We have a pure big-breasted relationship."
“…” The owner of the voice stopped asking questions.
Immediately, Shen Yu realized something was wrong and tried hard to focus his mind, but he heard one last voice in his ear.
"What's your favorite thing?"
"Big pecs."
…
Shen Yu's eyelashes trembled, and he looked at the mermaid in front of him blankly. He remembered that someone asked a lot of questions in his ear, but Shen Yu didn't have time to think about it when he saw the mermaid in front of him, and her eyes seemed to be dull for a moment.
He waved his hand, and the mermaid instantly returned to normal, asking him innocently, "Don't you smell anything strange?"
What?
Shen Yu shook his head.
The mermaid seemed to have spied on something, and doubt flashed in his purple eyes. The whole fish lay on the glass. If it weren't for the glass, Shen Yu would have suspected that he was going to get out.
"Don't you sense a strange pressure in the air?"
Shen Yu shook his head.
The mermaid whispers, “Impossible.”
"What's impossible? The food delivery robot is almost here." Shen Yu looked at the time and then at the mermaid. His favorability was zero. He really didn't know what his preferences were, so why not ask him now?
Just as Shen Yu was thinking about it, the mermaid's face, so beautiful that it was difficult to tell whether it was male or female, revealed an innocent expression.
"What's your favorite thing?"
"I love working the most." Shen Yu lied.
The mermaid smiled, her tail swaying the pool, and Shen Yu thought this was a good opportunity and asked him tentatively, "Do you have any favorites?"
“I didn’t have it before, but I have it now.” The mermaid fluttered her pure white eyelashes, and her purple, almost transparent fins moved slightly.
Shen Yu asked him curiously, "What is it?"
But facing the mermaid's sparkling eyes, Chen Yu looked at his favorability and expressed his disbelief arrogantly.
The mermaid swung her tail and uttered a secret in a soft voice.
"Actually, I'm an omega, not an alpha. Don't be afraid of me. I hurt the empire and other people before just to protect myself. You have to believe me." The mermaid was afraid that Shen Yu wouldn't believe her, and her purple eyes were filled with mist, with a few tears mixed in the water.
Chen Yu was shocked by the news and didn't know what to do. How could his target be an omega? But a sweet and soft omega must be very comfortable to hug, and it even has a fish tail.
But for fear that the mermaid would lie to him, Shen Yu still asked him firmly.
"A pure alpha pretending to be an omega will be struck by lightning."
"Don't you believe me?" The mermaid stared at him tearfully, as if she was hit hard. He lowered his head in grievance and said, "I even told you this biggest secret, and you don't believe me."
Chen Yu, who was accused, suddenly had self-doubt. Did he do something wrong?
But just as he had this thought, the mermaid raised her head shyly and said lovingly, "It's okay. I won't be angry with you."
Shen Yu always felt that something was strange, but when he saw the mermaid trapped in the cell, with chains around her neck and unable to leave the water, looking at him shyly, he felt embarrassed on Shen Yu's arrogant little face.
There was actually an omega who took a fancy to him.
How sorry.
But why is the favorability zero?
Wait, is he a cheater fish?
Shen Yu was coaxed back to her senses. Staring at his glittering fishtail, she said arrogantly, "Don't talk nonsense. Actually, you're not interested in me."
"If you want me to believe you, you have to let me touch your fish tail."
