Chapter 46 Performers (13) Jinjiang exclusive authorization for the first release, guaranteed...
Ani wanted to "comfort" him.
However, Ling Xiao quickly pulled the broken vine away from her hand, and her previous request was no longer valid.
"You didn't mean..." She asked sincerely, but he used the same old trick again, lightly and hastily covering her lips, trying to stop her from speaking like a dragonfly touching the water.
Ani paused after being kissed, and realized: "You use this method to reject questions when you don't want to answer? Is this serious? No, this is right?"
Ling Xiao raised his lips slightly, the arc was so slight that it seemed like an illusion. He answered calmly, as if he was not the one who shed tears and made demands just now: "Isn't that right? The friendship of companions."
He wanted to use Ani's kiss to relieve the pain. But he underestimated her charm. When the other party felt pity for the cut off piece of grass and wood, Ling Xiao felt as if all his bones were pulled out. Apart from entwining with her and relying on her, he had no will to resist.
This is not right. Ling Xiao immediately retracted the request.
That’s really too much, Brother Lingxiao. Annie didn't say anything, but just stared at him. Ling Xiao looked away and pretended nothing had happened. He turned into a vine and escaped from her arms. The green vines crawled across her palm.
Annie didn't try to catch it. Instead, she turned around and saw Ling Xiao climbing to a high place and closing the lock of the animal training cage that was about to be pushed open. He sat on a high point in the warehouse, gathered himself back into human form, and looked around.
"Is it okay to be like this?" Ling Xiao pointed at the mess on the ground and said, "That merman...should we take care of it?"
"No one will be killed. He is not you." Despite saying so, Ani still walked over to look for Liu's trace.
She reached out and pulled up the metal cage, and suddenly an arc of electricity appeared in front of her eyes which were filled with clutter. Annie was stunned for a moment, then used both hands to dig open the boxes and props on the ground, and saw that the cage of the flesh-and-blood monster was empty, and a messy light blue was revealed among the colorful props.
...Will it be eaten again? !
Ani sped up and saw the complete flow at the bottom. She felt around and found that the body was not missing any limbs, but had fainted. There was a bruise on the corner of his forehead from where he had hit a piece of metal equipment.
Ani looked at the blood-spattered device.
The metal device was emitting arcs of electricity and its appearance was extremely familiar. Ani was silent for a second, then suddenly opened her eyes wide -
The contraband item in the factory that extracts thoughts!
She immediately checked to see if there was anything broken. No one cares whether Liu will become mentally retarded or not, since his intelligence level is only slightly human anyway. But this device cannot break down, even if it is inconvenient to use, but it is very valuable!
This is her precious fixed asset.
The equipment was not broken, I just didn't know which button was hit and it kept running. Annie turned it off and removed the energy block, and the device went completely dark.
She cleared a space and looked up. Ling Xiao was no longer there. She followed his gaze all the way down and saw the green figure of the Teng clan in the corner of the warehouse. He wrapped the sundries with mature vines and silently stacked them neatly.
The tentacles in Annie's body were twisting wildly, and she really wanted to exchange experiences of multi-threaded operation with him.
But can the audience now accept the reality that she is a tentacle monster? Annie thought about it for a while and gave up for the time being. The last hunting ground had a blind spot for surveillance, and this time it was an angel. She felt that the angel would definitely make a big broadcast, magnifying and showing close-ups of the tiny pores on each of her tentacles where honey was flowing... The mimic would be embarrassed too!
Annie suppressed the twisting tentacles and picked up Xiaoduo who was knocked unconscious. Xiaoduo seemed to be dazed and stared at her blankly, with half of its one hundred eyes looking listless.
"Where did you hit it?" Ani reached out to touch it, rubbed its moist skin, and softened her tone, "You behaved well today and didn't take the opportunity to secretly eat other things."
Xiaoduo looked at her, motionless.
Ani stuffed it back into the cage. As soon as she did this, the other party suddenly resisted violently, wrapped itself around the cage and tried to twist out, making shrieks and roars that were unrecognizable to humans.
It's useless. Annie was very experienced in dealing with these monsters. Even if it was the usually docile multi-eyed monster, she was prepared to force it to be tamed at any time. While saying gentle words, she exerted force with her wrist, forced Xiaoduo back, and closed the cage with a snap.
She locked the cage expressionlessly, and the lock clicked softly. Annie turned around to pack other things, and suddenly stepped on something slippery - it was a fish tail.
The mermaid woke up.
The wet silver-blue fish tail fell long to the ground, leaving a wet mark on the dry ground from the scales. Liu Gang just woke up. He propped himself up with his arms and sat up from the ground, his face blank and dazed.
"What...are you doing?" Their eyes met and Annie's voice was interrupted.
When their eyes met, the mermaid's expression suddenly became happy. This inexplicable happiness looked very familiar. Annie stared at him, and the next second, he suddenly pounced on her.
The mermaid was about 1.8 meters tall when she had both legs, and now she looks even taller with a fish tail. His tail was quite powerful, and it hit Annie so hard that she took a step back. Moisture rose up from her body. His eyes were full of love, and he hooked his arms around Annie's neck and licked her face without hesitation.
“…”
It seems like something happened.
Ani grabbed his long hair and pulled the mermaid away. His long light-colored hair was hurt by being grabbed. He looked at her sadly, opened his mouth, and hummed a few times as if he couldn't speak.
"Him," the vines crawled over, and Ling Xiao appeared beside her, "Has he always had this symptom?"
Ani glanced at Ling Xiao and met his purple eyes: "Do you feel that now even human nature is gone."
Ling Xiao laughed. He held his chin and savored it for a moment: "It's much friendlier than holding a weapon to kill me. I don't object to his childishness." The vines went around to the other side. He pressed down on Ani's left shoulder and wiped the lick marks on her face with a tissue. He continued, "But I object to the place where I want to wrap it is wet."
Using a slightly damp tissue to wipe away the traces, Ling Xiao blew on the wet skin on her cheek to dry it, then pressed his lips on it, lightly stamped it, and whispered in her ear, "What should we do?" "What do you mean by 'what should we do'?" Annie pinched Liu's body and looked into his ice-blue eyes.
"His brain is broken. What about tomorrow's performance?" Ling Xiao said in a calm and serious tone, "Have their brains been completely replaced by the equipment, or are only parts of them entangled together? Will they automatically recover over time, or have they completely merged and become inseparable? If one of them is killed, will the other die as well?"
What he said was exactly what Ani was thinking. She nodded and suddenly said, "Didn't you understand a lot?"
Ling Xiao put his arm on her shoulders and bit her earlobe: "I only understood this little bit, if you teach me the rest, maybe I can understand it better."
A fresh scent of plants spread out, and Annie's left ear felt numb. She glanced at Ling Xiao and leaned over to kiss him, but Ling Xiao hid back and whispered, "Let's talk about business."
...this guy.
Annie thought to herself what serious matter you are talking about, after teasing herself you are pretending to be a chaste man. She muttered, "You don't look worried, you seem to be secretly proud."
Ling Xiao denied it, the corners of his lips rose a few pixels, but his eyes were clearly smiling.
Annie loosened her grip slightly, and the mermaid pounced on her again, wrapping his arms around her shoulders. This time he didn't lick her, but rubbed his cheek against hers.
This lingering action is the same as Xiaoduo's coquettish behavior in my memory. Annie clamped his chin, and the mermaid looked at her without avoiding, and placed his chin in her palm.
I can’t speak, so I hum using my senior’s good voice, sticking the syllables together. Annie put her hand into his mouth, pried open his teeth, and pressed his sharp teeth against her fingertips. The other party showed a confused expression, and suddenly licked her hand happily.
"It's over..." Ani pushed him away and walked into the cage. She glanced at the cage and said while debugging the equipment, "Find a way to change it back. Don't worry, I'll try first."
This is what I said to Liu.
No matter which one, always talk to the one who can understand you first.
Annie put the energy block back in and pushed it in with the back of her palm with a click. She opened it and then grabbed the mermaid's collar. She didn't resist much, but she couldn't stand steadily once she lost her strength. Even though her fish tail instinctively turned into legs due to lack of water, she couldn't walk.
There was no choice, Annie hugged him and brought him over, pressed his shoulder with one hand, took out the headphone-shaped extractor and put it on his head, and wiped the blood off the mermaid's forehead.
The mermaid looked at her eagerly.
"Is this okay?" Ling Xiao squatted in front of the cage and observed the monster. He raised his hand and waved it in front of the monster's eyes, but the monster ignored him.
"He can't even walk. We can't expect this thing to go on stage tomorrow." The other side was stuffed into the squirming flesh and blood monster.
Ani adjusted the device details and started it up.
The electric current connected with a click, and some kind of energy surged in the air. Ani carefully observed the values and wavelengths displayed on the screen.
After two minutes, the machine stopped, failing.
She didn't believe it and debugged it again.
The second time lasted for four minutes, but still failed.
The third time, after five minutes, still failed.
After trying for an hour, the mermaid who had been sitting next to him very well suddenly resisted and tried to take off the device, stumbling and saying, "No...no."
Ani was stunned, staring at his face.
"Liu" was more serious. He sat upright and pronounced his words incorrectly: "...No. No, come into me, into my head."
Ani murmured, "You're also a language genius... What went into your head?"
The data is constantly changing.
She speculated that there must be thoughts being continuously extracted during this process, but for some reason, the consciousness in the body continued to increase, while the stream of consciousness in Xiaoduo's body continued to weaken, as if it was all gathered in the mermaid's body along the instrument.
After all, mermaids are a mature and complete advanced race, unlike monsters like the multi-eyed monster that are the result of abnormal fusion.
"...other things." His speech became much clearer, "other things..."
Ani pressed the start button again.
This time, the extraction process took a full ten minutes. Annie observed the entire process in silence, but still failed. However, Xiaoduo's monster body had already entered a deep sleep and lost response, with vital signs so weak that it was almost brain dead.
After the instrument stopped, Annie walked over and took off the instrument on the mermaid's head. He hugged his head and breathed rapidly. When Annie approached, he subconsciously held her arm, rubbing it sticky and pitifully, and said intermittently, "...Don't use him, don't use anyone else..." Then, he covered his aching head and fell into her arms.
She heard the trembling voice of the mermaid in her arms: "...Ani."
"Flow?" Annie was not sure either.
The other party closed his mouth and was silent for a few seconds. His voice revealed extremely real fear and terror. He returned to his body, but there was something else. Liu couldn't predict what it was in his mind - until he suddenly rubbed his face against her knuckles covered with tamer gloves.
Ani tilted her head to look at him, squinting her eyes: "Xiaoduo?"
"Master... cough, cough cough." Liu bit his tongue.
"Wow, oh." Ani exclaimed without any emotion, but it was often such a voice without any emotion that proved that she was really surprised. The pink pupils approached, staring into the mermaid's ice-blue crystal eyes, "Is it all in your head?"
Liu pushed her away violently.
Ani hugged her arms, the bright red gloves fit her skin very tightly, and the protruding bone on the back of her hand outlined a clear line. She placed her fingertips on her arm and tapped it from time to time, very interested: "Who are you now?"
His eyes were drawn to Ani's finger movements.
The tamed "animal" will pay close attention to the trainer's action instructions. She is the trainer of the multi-eyed monster and can capture its details better than anyone else. The blue eyes couldn't help but tremble slightly following her fingers, but the words that came out were: "Of course it's me. It's just a deformed synthetic body that can only think simply. It's just impurities at most. Wait, wait... Don't come near me!"
Ani just walked over and he turned back and left in response. There was a sudden sound of a metal whip being untied and falling to the ground behind him, and he was unable to move forward.
...can't control it.
He is a circus dancer, but he cannot control his limbs. Liu had never collapsed like this before. The huge fear was gnawing at his will fiercely. He just wanted to kneel on the ground and beg his legs to stop standing there and move faster. It would be better if he could stay away from her!
Why on earth did you come here tonight?
Why can't I swallow this?
Why should we go after that shameless Fuji clan member? ! Why, why! Are you crazy? Isn't it enough that she beat you once in school and humiliated you in public? I should have stayed away from her a long time ago. What was that I couldn't swallow, what was that I was unwilling to accept? Now I feel better!
No matter how much he collapsed and prayed, his feet remained firmly in place. The sound of people approaching from behind was like stepping on his heart, and Ani's figure appeared at his shoulder.
She held the whip, folded the metal and brought it across his chin. Ani scanned the whole thing carefully and called out, "Xiaoduo?"
Liu's mind was in a state of confusion.
Don’t call this name anymore, don’t call it anymore! Something rushed out violently, his lips moved, and he uttered two words silently.
The many-eyed monster is not very good at using the human throat, and when its will prevails, its speech becomes clumsy and incoherent. Liu held her forehead and breathed heavily, like a bystander watching her body being taken over, and heard her own voice calling her: "...Master."
But after shouting out, its thoughts were pushed back again. Liu came back to his senses suddenly, not knowing what expression to make.
"What should we do?" Ani walked past him and leaned against the wall at the door. The long whip in her hand slipped out of her palm and she shook it gently. "Its body is completely unable to move. But it is one of the animals performing tomorrow. Otherwise... you help it to take up the post. I don't need you to jump through the fire ring or walk on the horizontal bar. You can just be led by me and crawl around the stage. This is the treatment that only the most favored animal actors can enjoy."
“……” Liu bit his back teeth.
He was very sure that he wanted to scold her, but another thought in his brain was actually excited and happy when he heard this, and he also felt a strange sense of anticipation and joy... This was crazy, what kind of equipment was placed in the warehouse? This was clearly a very dangerous research!
Ani saw the hatred in his eyes, and she laughed: "Forget it, just don't mess up your job as a dancer."
Liu turned his eyes away and didn't look at the whip in her hand.
Another voice was heard, it was that of the vampire vine. The culprit said calmly: "Now you don't have to hate that brother. I don't think Miss Annie will forget you in a short time, Xiaoduo."
There are not so many restrictions when dealing with others, and this dead leg will move again. Liu gritted his teeth and reached out to touch the hilt of the lightsaber: "Who do you think you are? Even if I die, you can't go on stage. You can't complete the mission with her. What qualifications do you have--"
His voice gradually became louder. Ling Xiao predicted that he would get angry. This young merman was particularly concerned about winning or losing, and about comparison. He slowly hid behind Annie, leaned against her shoulder, and revealed a pair of lavender eyes: "Ms. Annie, look at him."
"Are you shameless?!" Liu glared at him. "If it weren't for you and this crappy machine, I wouldn't, wouldn't..."
He couldn't continue speaking, but Ling Xiao hid behind Annie. He absolutely didn't want to get close to her now. Once he got close to his schoolmate, "Xiaoduo"'s consciousness would be unprecedentedly active, and he couldn't afford to lose face in front of this person.
"Don't quarrel." Ani spoke up in time. She said to Liu, "Go back and rest. If you fall on the stage tomorrow, I will really let you be an animal actor, okay?"
He swallowed his saliva.
He was dazed for only a moment, then quickly reacted. But he couldn't control his body. If kowtow worked, he would kowtow to "Xiaoduo" now to stop it from making trouble.
After a strange silence, Liu said, "Get out of the way."
Ani looked at the door beside her and said in confusion: "I'm not blocking it."
"Get out of my way." He insisted, "Stay away from me, please, stay away from me, really, don't come over here again, I won't bother you anymore, you and this dead green tea vine will live happily ever after - don't come over here!"
Ani: “…I didn’t move.”
Ling Xiao countered softly: "Who is the green tea? You are the violent one, chasing me and chopping me."
She tried to take a step closer, and Liu's expression became visibly tense. Annie probably guessed that her distance had an impact on him, so she thought about it and moved aside.
About one and a half meters away from the door, Liu walked stiffly over and left the warehouse. His figure was walking faster and faster, as if there was a ghost chasing him from behind.
Ah Ni looked at his quickly disappearing back, clicked her tongue, and suddenly asked, "What do you think the audience is posting in the comments now?"
"I want to see the proud merman warrior crawling on the ground like a dog."
A Ni looked at him, Ling Xiao looked away and pretended nothing happened: "You asked me to guess."
-
The performance on the second day was a perfect success and Ani's ranking rose to 29th place.
There will be four more regular performances to come, and at the end of the month in the M359 star year, an annual carnival night will be held - this is the annual ceremony that all actors compete for, and it is also the most important link in achieving goal three.
The performance was perfect, but what topped the list were Ani’s various slice videos.
The high-definition pictures of Annie captured in these videos were set as the laboratory's virtual wallpapers. Wallpapers rotated frequently on several screens, and they were all of her.
Lin returned to his residence from the laboratory.
He undid the researcher's uniform, took off the cufflinks and badge that represented his military assignment, and finally took off the experimenter's nameplate. He placed his palm on the sink and looked at himself in the mirror for a long time.
As his dragon transformation deepened, he became different from before.
The waist-length dark blue hair became even longer, almost reaching her thighs. He kept his hair tied into a high ponytail as he worked, with only a few strands slipping out. The coral ear bone turned pink all over, its curve became more slender and graceful, and the tiny crack behind the ear was gradually closing.
That is the organ that mermaids use to breathe underwater. Usually, you can only see a thin membrane covering it when you peel it open. The last time Lin reached out to touch it, he found that the gap was almost closed. He does not need gills and can breathe with his lungs underwater.
He was actually getting stronger, but as he became stronger, he also became weaker.
Lin looked in the mirror for a few seconds. His dry throat felt like it was burning. He covered his mouth and coughed a few times. A figure appeared behind him at some point.
Mo Wan handed him the throat lozenge.
Lin glanced at him and took it. The other party handed over a carefully packaged medicine with the date by which the medicine should be taken written on the package.
"Thank you." He murmured and walked to the living room, drinking medicine as he walked.
Mo Wan followed behind him like a ghost, without saying a word.
After Lin finished drinking the medicine, he was about to open the recorder to take a look at the experimental data when he saw the words "eat" written on the back of the packaging paper.
When he looked up, he saw the spider standing in the dining area, placing carrot juice next to four dishes and a soup. It raised its head, staring at him with its dark eyes without blinking. To be precise, it was staring at the eggs in his stomach.
Lin felt a little creepy. The two accidentally watched Annie's live broadcast a few days ago and had a huge argument. Mo Wan disappeared that night. The next day, the institute received a notice from the Joint Police Station saying that they were hunting for a serial killer with extremely cruel methods, and asked all researchers not to go out casually.
The serial killer was extremely cruel, but he washed his hands and served the food with a cold face.
...There might be some reason why Annie married him.
No, he had done these things too, but not as well as Mo Wan. And even if he did better, even better than this murderer, Annie would break up with him without mercy.
The two sat down to eat.
This kind of relationship where the two people want to kill each other when they meet has achieved superficial harmony because of this egg that is in urgent need of care. At least the two of them could really eat together. Mo Wan could also squeeze carrot juice, and every time she squeezed it with great force, she would chop the carrots into pieces.
Lin didn't know why he hated carrots so much.
Halfway through the meal, Mo Wan suddenly asked, "Is that your brother?"
Lin knew that he would definitely watch the live broadcast, so he responded, "Yeah."
"Can I kill him?"
"Okay." Lin ate calmly.
Mo Wan glanced at him. Lin had a hard time persevering. He often had an expression that looked a bit depressed, as if he was ready to commit suicide the next second, but he would flutter around half-dead for a while. Only when he was concerned about his daughter's affairs would he be focused and serious, with a look that said "he really wanted something".
"That vine..."
The sounds of both of them eating stopped.
"You can kill him." Lin looked up, "I'll help you."
Mo Wan thought for a while: "But can he really give birth to a child?"
Lin quickly lowered his head to eat and stopped talking. The atmosphere at the table was stomach-aching. After a while, he said, "He can't."
It’s “Guoguo”, the name has been chosen before the birth of the child. What the hell, Annie was just imagining some unfounded things. She thought that when the mermaid was able to give birth, she would be so happy every day and speak sweetly to him... This little liar was always very unwise in expecting men to give birth to children, and she believed everyone.
He had seen Ani's eyes become dim.
That is a very painful thing. Lin doesn't want to recall it anymore.
The Fuji clan is not worthy of the cosmic star beast, he is not strong enough.
But he is...hermaphrodite. Lin's thoughts were interrupted, and he was instantly confused. He suddenly put down his cutlery and stood up.
Mo Wan stared at him dimly: "You haven't finished eating yet."
"I'll go first..."
"For the baby's sake, can you eat first?" Mo Wan's voice was very gentle, but such a gentle tone made people's spines tingle. "This is for the good of our daughter. Although the baby consumes energy, you as a father must also take good care of her body. Otherwise, what if she can't give birth? What if your body can't supply it? Sit down quickly."
The serial killer put his hands together, said devoutly and tenderly, and very considerately: "If you kill the baby, I will be very angry."
Lin sat down and looked at him: "Don't you have it in your body too? If you are sentenced by this standard, you deserve to die."
Mo Wan was stunned for a moment. He was quiet for a moment, his eyes reddened as he was very vulnerable in this regard. He held back his tears and stared at Lin while eating.
Lin had a better temper after all, and just as he was about to pull out a piece of paper and hand it to the other party to tell him to stop holding it in and just cry, he heard Spider-Man's voice say gloomily and hatefully, "I'm going to kill all the other males in the world. They all...all seduced Lady Annie."
Lin: “…”
Mo Wan looked at his belly and said, "You are on probation."
Lin: “…Get lost.”
