Receiving Kerry's probing gaze and suspicious expression, Langdon fell silent. "Yes, teacher! I'll be right outside. You can call me anytime if you need anything."
Langdon retreated somewhat unwillingly, gritting his teeth. It seemed he would have to find another way...
Langdon, who had just stepped out the door, didn't leave. Instead, he stood in the doorway, trying to get a better look at Kerry's movements through the crack.
But Kerry had his back to the door the whole time, completely blocking his movements.
Kerry spent five hours in the lab preparing the most crucial injection according to strict proportions.
"call!"
Next, these injections will be injected into the merfolk. If, after three days, the blood levels of the test subjects rise to within the acceptable range, then the experiment will be considered a success.
With one leg missing, Kerry had difficulty moving around, and he hesitated whether he could ask Langdon for help.
Previously, he always completed this step alone, without letting anyone else interfere.
But today, Kerry looked down at his empty left leg and felt a chill run down his spine.
"Landon!" Kerry finally decided to let Landon in to help.
"Teacher, is there anything I can do for you?" Langdon came in quickly, unusually attentive.
Kerry gave Langdon simple instructions on how to inject the medication and where to inject it.
"Yes, teacher, I understand." Langdon had a little idea in mind. He could secretly hide one of the vials. As long as he figured out the proportions of the various drugs in the injection, he could also become the head of this laboratory.
Taking advantage of Kerry's limited mobility and blind spots, Langdon secretly hid two of the thirty injections right under Kerry's nose.
"Teacher, all injections are complete," Langdon reported. "What's next?"
“Observe.” Kerry sat there, keeping a close eye on the merman in the tank in front of him.
Langdon could only sit on the side and watch, occasionally asking questions.
Perhaps because Kerry had just experienced Anker's questioning and Bion's betrayal, he was now answering Langdon's questions readily.
To avoid attracting attention, Langdon sat there for two hours before using the excuse of going to the restroom to take the two syringes out.
A month later, four merfolk in the laboratory successfully transformed into human form.
Anx finally smiled at Kerry, because the successful transformation of the four merfolk allowed Anx to regain his prestige among the alliance's high-ranking officials. Dax Weren also spoke a few words of concern for Anx during the court assembly, which can be regarded as an acknowledgment that the man had once again returned to the center of the high-ranking officials.
Kerry has been riding high these past few days, and the shadow of his missing left leg is gradually fading away.
During this time, Langdon stayed by Kerry's side, always available and at his beck and call, and gradually gained his trust.
"Teacher, we really had a great time!" Langdon exclaimed after finishing the meeting with Kerry.
Kerry couldn't hide his smile and said to Langdon with feeling, "You still need to have the strength to stand firm."
"Stay close to me, and your teacher will not mistreat you."
Langdon's eyes flickered slightly, and his voice was sincere: "Teacher, I understand."
