"Dr. Jin, this is the most perfect merman we have hunted in the hundred years since our base was established. Please take a look."
With a "beep," the fully automatic nano-manufactured mechanical door in front of her opened, revealing a huge water tank, five meters long, lying straight in front of Si Jin.
Outside the water tank was a dense electric grid, with the voltage displayed on the side. If an ordinary person were to touch it, their bones would be instantly shattered.
Inside the water vat, a robust merman was bound.
His waist-length white hair was scattered messily in a crystal blue, rippling slightly with the waves. His sword-like eyebrows reached his temples, and his starry eyes were bright, but they contained nothing but intense hatred.
Because further down, at the mouth area, you can see the pitch-black anti-bite device.
The lock was too tight, leaving bloodstains on the mermaid's fair face. Drop by drop, the bloodstains scattered into the cool water, only to be quickly diluted and dissipated.
Both wrists, including the large, jet-black tail, were encircled with nano-rings connecting the chains. The material was hard, making it one of the most difficult restraints to pull off with current technology.
As someone approached, it went on full alert, baring its fangs fiercely.
"Oh, how fierce." Si Jin pushed up her metal-framed glasses, walked slowly to the bathtub, and stared quietly at the beautiful yet fierce merman inside: "His tail looks to be two meters long. It's so long. I've never seen anything like it before."
"Where did you catch it?"
"You might not believe it, but the secretary next to me smiled broadly, a hint of pride showing as she spoke of the location: 'Bermuda.'"
Si Jin raised an eyebrow, seemingly very interested: "The Bermuda Triangle? A ghostly sea area where more than a thousand people have set foot but none have survived?"
"Yeah, isn't it amazing? Our man caught it near the Blue Pit. We saw him kill a great white shark in just two seconds. If we hadn't used some tricks, we really wouldn't have been able to bring it back."
"Judging from its appearance, it's definitely not wild; it probably belongs to the mysterious mermaid kingdom in the deep sea."
"Pretty impressive." Si Jin casually praised, then her fingertips crossed the electric grid and gently touched the edge of the fish tank.
Peach Blossom's eyes held a hint of something unreadable. After a three-second silence, she turned to the mermaid and said, "You're really something else."
The mermaid stared at him, her brows furrowing slightly at his mocking remark.
The hostility in his eyes did not diminish. When he realized what was happening, his teeth bared even more fiercely, as if he wanted to break through that barrier and rush out to kill.
"You want to kill me?" Si Jin keenly sensed his emotions and asked.
The mermaid naturally didn't reply, but the secretary beside him carefully explained, "Don't be afraid, Doctor. This fish tank is made of special materials, so he can't get out."
"The main reason we invited you here is that our CEO, Mr. Ying, has found an ancient method for achieving immortality, something about 'using mermaid oil to make candles,' which I don't quite understand. You've always been quite knowledgeable in biology, so we wanted to invite you here..."
The secretary was chattering away, completely unaware that Si Jin was silently lip-syncing to the mermaid.
Her red lips parted and closed, her tongue peeking out from under her—a simple gesture that was more alluring than a siren.
He said, "If you want to kill me, then we'll see what you're capable of."
The moment her red lips closed, suddenly, whoosh—
The fish tank, along with the surrounding electric grid, was completely destroyed.
The sound was so loud it almost shattered her eardrums. The secretary was startled and before she could react, she saw the mermaid tear off the chains that bound her through a mist of water.
The fish bones were enough to support him as he stood up, and he moved quite nimbly. With a chilling killing intent, he attacked him straight at him like a snake.
