Mermaid Town
After being lifted out of the water, Gu Lin felt that he was pulled onto a boat by a force.
There were two gasps in my ears, followed by two conversations:
"Oh, look, what have we salvaged?"
"There are actually such creatures as mermaids. A mermaid actually appeared in our Yujia Village."
"This mermaid is so beautiful! It's worth my waiting in Yujia Village for a year."
The mermaid struggled violently, and Gu Lin was also dragged along by it.
While struggling, Gu Lin saw the faces of the doctor uncle and the mayor grandfather.
"With this mermaid, the village chief can be promoted to town mayor."
Yu Youmian said as he looked at the mermaid trapped in the fishing net on the deck.
The mayor of the mermaid town raised an eyebrow: "One mermaid is not enough to make our entire Yujia Village rich."
The fishing net was a special one, and it was unbreakable. The mermaid couldn't break free no matter how hard she tried. Instead, she lay exhausted, powerlessly on the deck, looking coldly at the two humans in front of her.
Yu Youmian took out a syringe, squatted down, and injected it into the mermaid's body.
After being injected with the drug, the mermaid immediately closed her eyes and fainted.
Everything in front of Gu Lin's eyes went dark. Before he passed out, he heard Yu Youmian's sneer.
"With this mermaid, I can help you create countless mermaids. If there are not enough mermaids, I can create enough mermaids. As for me, I just want a hospital and base where I can study mermaids unconditionally..."
…
After regaining consciousness, Gu Lin opened his eyes and the scene in front of him changed again, turning into the secret room, but on the other side of the glass wall.
At this time, the mermaid turned her head and looked at the surrounding environment.
Gu Lin also turned around and found that he was in the pool.
Gu Lin: [Hey, why hasn’t Zizi returned yet?]
9527: [Young host, don’t be anxious. You can go back after the flashbacks are over. 】
Gu Lin: [Oh. 】
The mermaid looked at the glass wall in front of her, and Gu Lin also looked at the glass wall.
On the other side of the glass wall was Yu Youmian, wearing a white coat.
Yu Youmian was leaning against the table, holding an apple and a fruit knife in his hand, slowly peeling the apple.
Seeing the mermaid wake up, he continued to peel the apple with a smile on his face: "Wake up"
The mermaid slowly opened her lips, her voice was very clear and pleasant: "You are a doctor."
Yu Youmian was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he heard this mermaid speak.
He raised his eyebrows: "Does a doctor who specializes in mermaids count?"
Yu Youmian peeled the apple quickly. He threw the fruit knife on the table with a "ding" sound, then he took the apple and walked to the glass wall.
At this moment, Gu Lin felt his stomach... no, the mermaid's stomach growled.
There was no food in the pool, and the mermaid was already starving after being imprisoned for who knows how long.
Yu Youmian lowered his eyes and smiled: "I'm hungry, do you want an apple?"
The mermaid looked at him coldly and said nothing.
Yu Youmian passed the apple to her mouth, took a bite, and started eating: "Sorry, it's not time for your meal yet."
The mermaid was hungry, and Gu Lin also felt hungry.
Yu Youmian finished eating an apple in front of the mermaid.
Gu Lin snorted with resentment: [I don’t like this doctor uncle who doesn’t wear glasses. 】
9527: [……]
Yu Youmian: "I came to Yujia Village because I learned that there were traces of mermaids in Yujia Village. I have been researching artificial fish for decades, but I have never succeeded. Do you know why?"
The mermaid remained silent.
Yu Youmian didn't seem to care whether the mermaid paid attention to him or not, and said to himself: "I have been experimenting repeatedly, just wanting to create a perfect mermaid, but later I found that artificial fish must have the serum of a real mermaid to be successfully transformed."
"I have tried to sew two human legs together, but it doesn't last very long. It will explode again in a week at most. It is not beautiful at all, let alone perfect."
Yu Youmian's eyes were filled with enthusiasm: "However, with you, I can create as many perfect mermaids as I want. After all, your serum can be provided continuously."
"I'm also interested in one thing. I heard that mermaids' tears can turn into pearls. I wonder if it's true."
The mermaid's heart sank completely.
The next second, the picture changed again and the scene in front of him changed again.
Gu Lin found that he was no longer in the pool, but outside the pool, looking at the mermaid in the pool through the glass wall.
His image was vaguely reflected in the glass wall, and it was Yu Youmian.
He is now in the doctor's body again.
"You are the first man-made fish. I gave you a new name."
Gu Lin found himself saying this, and took out a sticker from the pocket of his white coat and pasted it on the glass wall.
There are three lines of information on the sticker.
【No.: 000】
【Name: Yu Youqing】
[Introduction: Initial Mermaid]
"Instead of being studied by humans, I should study humans, don't you think so, Doctor Yu?"
“…”
The mermaid in the pond - Yu Youqing, had an expression of shock and disbelief, as well as resentment and resentment on her face.
He slammed the glass wall hard, but the glass wall was very solid and did not move at all.
"You put so much effort into creating a perfect mermaid, but..."
Yu Youmian said in a cold voice: "Humans are only worthy of becoming cheating mermaids."
“…”
Yu Youqing, who had already become a mermaid, had his eyes burning red with anger.
"It's my fault. Mermaids are cunning by nature. I shouldn't take them lightly."
Yu Youmian pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose with his white-gloved hands: "If you take the pearl transformed from the mermaid's tears, you must abide by the contract and become a new mermaid. Only when someone recognizes you as a real mermaid will the contract become invalid."
Yu Youqing sneered: "So, you plan to hide me here forever"
Yu Youmian did not comment, which was considered as his agreement.
He looked at Yu Youqing quietly for a moment, said nothing more, and turned around to leave.
Yu Youqing stared at Yu Youmian's back as he turned and left. Fear made his voice become unusually sharp: "Are you really planning to trap me here forever?"
Yu Youmian didn't answer, didn't say anything, and strode away.
The door of the secret room closed behind him...
*
The flashback ended, and the scene in front of Gu Lin changed back to the scene in the secret room.
He was still sitting in the basket, with a short green fish tail underneath him, instead of the azure blue fish tail.
He entered into a state of nostalgia, but in reality, only a moment had passed and no one would notice it.
Gu Lin was confused and didn't understand anything about the content of the flashbacks, but he was sure of one thing.
Uncle Doctor is the real mermaid!
As soon as this thought came into his mind, the voice of 9527 sounded: [Congratulations to the little anchor, you found the real mermaid and got 10,000 points. 】
Up to now, Gu Lin’s clue points have exceeded 20,000, far ahead of all players.
If he passes the level, Gu Lin will undoubtedly be the first in the copy, but if he fails to pass the level, all these points will be recovered by the system.
At this moment, the pearl in Gu Lin's hand, which had been shiny and bright, lost its luster and turned gray.
At the same time, Yu Youmian and Yu Youqing also switched back.
Yu Youmian instantly returned to the body of the mermaid in the pool, and Yu Youqing also returned to his human body.
Yu Youqing was stunned, looked down at his legs which had returned to normal, then he slowly grinned.
The contract is invalid.
After all these years, he is finally free!
Yu Youmian's face turned pale for a moment, but he quickly calmed down. The only condition for the contract to become invalid is if someone recognizes her as a real mermaid.
The only extra thing here is this little mermaid cub.
At this time, Yu Youqing was on the same side as Gu Lin, and Yu Youmian was in the pool.
Yu Youqing was still holding a basket in her hand, with Gu Lin sitting in it.
He looked down at the little mermaid cub that was also looking up at him blankly. He didn't know how the cub recognized the real mermaid.
However, it unexpectedly helped him a lot and freed him from the body of that damn mermaid.
The situation changed. Yu Youqing looked at Yu Youmian who was trapped in the pool. He put Gu Lin down, then leaned his hands on the glass wall and laughed like a madman.
After laughing for a while, he still looked at Yu Youmian, but said to Gu Lin: "Little friend, isn't it ridiculous? The mermaids in Mermaid Town, they were transformed from humans into mermaids, all by the masterpiece of a real mermaid, and this mermaid turned into a human herself and mingled with humans, and was still highly respected."
"It is a great irony that a mermaid pretends to be a human and transforms a human into a mermaid."
Even now, Yu Youmian had no extra expression. He was as cold and indifferent as ever, and too calm.
Yu Youqing took off the white gloves on his hands and the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, threw them on the ground, and stepped on them several times.
He doesn't need these props to show off.
"Tomorrow is Mermaid Day. Not only did you get your body back, you also gave me a great gift."
He looked at Gu Lin, "This is a one-of-a-kind little mermaid cub. Guess how much it can be sold for."
Yu Youqing bent down and tried to pick up the little mermaid baby in the basket.
When Gu Lin saw him coming to hug him, he instinctively wanted to run. In a hurry, he swung his tail and hit Yu Youqing, throwing him out. After falling to the ground, he slid backwards for several meters.
Yu Youqing:
Damn, how come this little mermaid is so strong!!
Both Yu Youmian and Yu Youqing were stunned by Gu Lin's "Mermaid Tail Swing".
Yu Youqing was thrown out and fell to the ground. There was even a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. His whole body was in pain as if it was about to fall apart.
He was stunned for several seconds and lay on the ground for a long time without being able to get up.
After Yu Youmian turned back into a mermaid, the first thing she said was: "Run!"
Gu Lin pulled Yu Youqing out with his tail, and he fell to the ground.
When he heard Yu Youmian telling him to run, he immediately wanted to crawl away, but it was obvious that he had not practiced crawling well enough before, and he was like a cricket pupa, unable to crawl away at all.
Gu Lin: [9527, let’s buy a bumper car and escape!]
9527 was also heartbroken: [Little anchor, you can’t get up, and you can’t crawl away. You didn’t practice well enough before. It’s too late to buy a bumper car now, and Yu Youqing is already here. 】
Gu Lin: [……]
Yu Youqing had already arrived in front of Gu Lin, looking down at the mermaid baby who was lying on the ground, lying there without moving forward.
Yu Youqing looked at his clumsy cricket pupa for a while, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
Gu Lin wanted to try to crawl forward with the help of his arms, but before he could crawl forward, Yu Youqing picked him up from the ground.
After fishing him out, Yu Youqing held Gu Lin in his arms. His clothes had several holes in them from sliding on the ground.
Gu Lin was held in Yu Youqing's arms, his little fish tail hanging down naturally, his two short arms and face facing the ground.
He was motionless. He had just been lying on the ground, crawling for a while, but now he was too tired to move.
Before leaving, Yu Youqing glanced at Yu Youmian again and said, "You can spend the rest of your life here."
Yu Youqing took Gu Lin out of the secret room.
Although Gu Lin was motionless, he still had the strength to speak. His baby voice echoed in the empty base: "Help! Help!"
Yu Youqing paused, stroked the furry head of the little mermaid, and sneered, "Stop shouting. I'm going to keep you for the Mermaid Festival tomorrow, but I won't kill you right away."
Gu Lin stretched out his little hands and said in a baby voice: "Help!"
Yu Youqing: “…”
Yu Youqing rolled her eyes and carried Gu Lin away with her arm around him.
