Do you like this peach pit?
"Give me this, and I can string it together for you and wear it on your wrist."
Grind the peach pits, make a hole in the middle, and string them together with a pretty string.
This is a method that Bion accidentally discovered while browsing his computer.
1021 thought for a long time before handing the peach pit to Bion. His lips moved several times before he finally made a sound.
Don't lie to me.
1021's voice wasn't as hoarse as Bion had imagined; it was a clear, youthful voice, soft and sweet. According to the age of merfolk, he was just a child who had just come of age.
Bion laughed, "No, I'll give it to you tomorrow."
After the casual conversation, Bion got down to business.
"Can 1021 transform into human form?" Bion tried to keep his voice as soft as possible. The transformation of merfolk into human form was against biological instinct and an abnormal phenomenon built up through various experiments.
Therefore, although 1021's experiment was successful, he would experience immense pain every time he transformed from a mermaid into a human.
1021 in the water tank will only exist in the form of a mermaid.
1021 glanced at Bion and obediently transformed its fishtail into human legs.
Bion reached out his hand to 1021, "How about I take you out for a walk?"
In this laboratory, there was only Bion. Because of the small cake a few days ago and the peach today, 1021 trusted Bion and, without much hesitation, took his hand.
Bion lifted 1021 out of the water tank. The little boy was very light, his whole body was cold, and he didn't make a fuss or move.
But when Bion met 1021's eyes, he felt an inexplicable guiltyness. 1021 trusted him completely, but he...
Bion didn't know how to describe the feeling; he was deeply shaken.
He doesn't deserve 1021's trust; in fact, he's no different from the other experimenters.
Thinking this way, Bion also asked the same question.
1021 felt warm all over his body. This was the first time he had ever felt such a warm embrace, and his trust in Ang grew even stronger.
“You’re wonderful,” 1021 replied. “You were the first person to give me delicious food, and the first person to hold my hand.”
"So...warm."
Bion wanted to flee, but the boy sincerely expressed his feelings, full of gratitude, yet he dared not accept it.
"Shall we learn to walk today?" Bion quickly changed the subject, put 1021 down, and patiently taught how to stand.
With the robot's help, 1021 learned to stand, but it still doesn't know how to take a step.
Bion made 1021 hold the robot firmly while he squatted down, wanting to help it take a step with his own actions.
Just as Bion squatted down, he saw a very obvious stitch mark on the boy's legs, from the root of his thigh all the way to his ankle, even on his five toes.
The experiment to transform a mermaid into human form required completely dissecting the mermaid's tail to understand its principles and structure before sewing in replacements with similar structures for the legs. After thousands of attempts and experiments, it was finally successful.
Of the countless experimental subjects, 1021 was the only one who succeeded.
Both lucky and unlucky.
Fortunately, he survived the experiment; unfortunately, he still had to endure all the subsequent experiments.
"What... happened to you?" 1021 saw Bion squatting there, not moving, and for the first time took the initiative to ask about someone's condition.
Bion took a few deep breaths to calm his complicated emotions and forced himself to remain composed, saying, "It's okay, let's learn to walk."
Under Bion's careful guidance, 1021 quickly learned to walk slowly.
Forty minutes later, Bion handed 1021 a glass of juice, "That's enough for today, we'll continue training tomorrow."
1021's face was tense, and her legs were trembling slightly. She nodded, took the glass of juice, and drank it in large gulps.
In fact, for the past forty minutes, every step he took caused excruciating pain in his legs. 1021 had been enduring it all, slowly beginning to accept and get used to it.
Over the years, what he has become most accustomed to is accepting and enduring pain.
From as far back as he can remember, he lived in a water tank, and every day he saw those people in white lab coats.
But Bion is different from the others.
He was used to pain anyway, and Bion brought him warmth and other different feelings. He was willing to give it all, even if his life had to end at this moment.
