Chapter 5 Chapter 5 "Just kill me."
The red dot symbolizing the pirates left the range of the detection radar.
It seemed that the alarm had ended, but Ani became more urgent. She took Lin's hand and without saying a word, turned on the defense program in the cab and the escape system prepared for the driver.
The words "Escape system activated" appeared on the screen. Without any explanation, she walked through the turbulent flow of passengers who had not reacted, kicked open the door at the end of the vehicle with a "No Passengers Allowed" sign, and entered the driver's work number into the operating system inside.
This is what was obtained from that corpse.
The work number was confirmed successfully.
The automatic door opened, and Ani stepped into the escape pod, fastened the seat belt around Lin's waist, made a "don't ask" gesture to him, and then pulled the starter -
A dull humming sound came from beneath him, as old energy was awakened.
The escape pod detached from the bottom of the vehicle. To be honest, this was her first time actually flying this kind of small aircraft. Her previous experience was just a paid simulation on StarNet. Annie raised her hand and pushed the putter to the bottom, and the scene in front of her suddenly became dizzying.
A meteor shot out from the severed vehicle in an insane arc, streaking across the sky with sparks and lightning, shaking to the point where one suspected it would fall at any moment.
Lin, who was already out of strength, held on to his limit. He supported his body with his hands, lowered his head and retched for a long time, almost vomiting his bile.
Just a few minutes later, the sirens of countless rescue vehicles flew across the sky.
This is the rescue vehicle called by the passengers inside. This kind of expensive rescue will deduct a large amount of star coins, and only rich people can buy their lives. In the few minutes of time, several dazzling flames descended from the sky. Shells were fired from above the pirates' aircraft, flying red and hitting the shaky and broken ship behind the two men.
The ship's defense system held out for a paltry three seconds.
A loud explosion sounded like thunder behind him, with smoke billowing and flames shooting into the sky.
Lin, who happened to look back, was startled and immediately turned to look at Annie. The girl was just pondering the operating lever and steering wheel, as if she was not frightened at all.
"What's in there..." he couldn't help but say.
"A little under a thousand people." Ani took over the conversation. "It seems that he doesn't want to see me again and just wants to blow me to pieces. The pirate is really rude and doesn't keep his word."
"You're not much better." When Lin saw the pirate leader, it was hard not to think of himself. He had some basic understanding of this guy who was obsessed with having children. "Why did he suddenly say that? What did you do to him?"
"He's a pirate leader who treats the lives of a thousand people as a joke. He burns, kills, robs, and commits all kinds of evil." Ani glanced at him, "What would I do to him? What makes you think I did something to him? Men's positions are so unified and have no bottom line?"
Lin twitched his lips: "I just think that if he gets the upper hand, maybe I can get rid of you."
Ani nodded first, then continued, "Yes, you can get rid of me. He hates me so much that he would rather not receive any money from your family. But if you fall into his hands, your scales will be peeled off one by one, and you will become a bargaining chip to blackmail your family. He will laugh wildly while strangling your life, and become a vicious blackmailer. Master, your mind is too empty."
Lin wanted to say something else, but his long-term weakness and injury made him extremely carsick, and under her outrageous driving skills, he almost vomited to death.
When the two men landed, the smoke from the destruction of the ship and vehicle had not yet dissipated.
Ani took out a bottle of water from her bag and handed it to him, but Lin would vomit even when drinking water. She pulled the other person out, and was immediately hit in the arms by a young mermaid who was about 1.8 meters tall.
The long dark blue hair fell on her shoulders, covering the girl's thin shoulders. He leaned on Ani, breathing uncomfortably, like a fish that had been dehydrated for too long and was about to die of thirst.
Ani grabbed his hair and held it tightly, making him look up and look into those out-of-focus blue eyes. She realized that the powerful mermaid had also reached her limit. After thinking for a while, she said, "You need a healing potion."
"..." Lin's eyes moved after a long while. He was almost dead, but he choked back, "What I need is water, the ocean in District 8."
Ani shook her head: "You are so delicate." Then she held Lin's shoulders and gave him a bottle of water.
During this time in her presence, he, like a fish, was almost choked to death several times. The flowing liquid poured into his dry and tight throat. The dizziness made him resist subconsciously, but her hand did not stop. Something sticky flowed along the water and opened his tightly closed teeth.
What is this…
The tentacle tips pressed against his contracted throat, and Ani successfully poured the water directly into his esophagus. She screwed on the water bottle and put it back in her bag, retracted her tentacles, and hugged the unsteady mermaid.
The two stayed temporarily in the Fourth District for a few days.
"Regarding this accident, the United Police Department has issued a statement that the attackers will be strictly investigated..." In the narrow temporary residence, the projection on the wall continued to broadcast the pirate attack. Annie turned down the volume of the news and continued to read the text on the reader.
There is information about "Star Sea Blue Dragon" on the reader.
She slid the screen and asked Lin about the content from time to time. Lin sometimes answers and sometimes refuses to cooperate. She didn't care and asked again next time.
"Master, what exactly were you sent to do? I don't think your starship accident was an accident. Do you have any sisters or brothers? They want to kill you."
Lin sat on the sofa covered with a quilt. He looked drowsy and his body was filled with the laziness of an unhealed wound: "...It would be more painful to die in my brother's hands than in yours, probably."
"Haha." Ani didn't simulate any emotion, she just laughed twice in a dry and flat way, then looked at him again, "Really? You might die of pleasure in my hands."
“……”Lin buried his head in the quilt and refused to respond.
"What is this 'Universe Live Hunting Game' specially invited participating families?" Ani's fingers flipped through the information. "It seems that all the big shots in the entire Aquamarine Planet are preparing for this game. Is this game important?"
"It's very important." Ani thought he didn't want to say anything more, but Lin actually answered a few words, "It involves the distribution of some important items. The Freedom Alliance is behind this game. Even though it's just a live broadcast, the profits are unimaginable."
The Free Alliance, a behemoth spanning several star regions.
"The Blue Dragon Family is the investor of Ocean Blue University." Ani's fingertips slid down, as if talking to herself, "So Ocean Blue University is also eligible to participate in the selection. Will it represent Blue Dragon in the competition and become a Star Sea Warrior?"
"Soldier," Lin repeated, softly, "just a desperado."
Ani said: "The comprehensive ability of the merman bloodline is ranked among the best in the entire galaxy, and the people selected by this university are also the chosen ones. On the star network, the brutality and strength of the merman warriors are well-known."
Lin, however, was not proud of it at all, and said, "No matter how strong you are, you will become a corpse, a dead person."
Ani suddenly asked, "Do you select the Star Sea Warriors based on their performance?"
Lin laughed sarcastically, remembering that the little monster in front of him was a so-called "excellent student", the words that were about to come out of his mouth suddenly stopped. At this moment, as expected, a man's moaning sound was heard from next door.
This cheap temporary shelter is located in the mixed red-light district of District 4.
There's a street prostitute living next door. His enthusiastic shouts can be heard at this time every day, and it sounds like he's doing good business.
Lin lowered his eyebrows and endured it again and again, but his nails finally pierced the quilt. He gritted his teeth and said, "I have already given you money! Why do you want to live in a place like this!"
Ani was stunned for a moment, looked at the quilt, then tilted her head to try to see his expression: "Well... District 4 has been uneasy recently. Many places have been attacked by space pirates. Zero One Three is determined to kill me. This place is relatively hard to find and safe."
She thought for a moment and then said, "Although you also want to kill me, you have a chip in your brain, so you should restrain yourself."
Lin took a deep breath and was about to forget about it when the iron bed next door shook with a loud noise, shaking the spines of the bookshelves against the wall in the room and causing several old yellow CDs to fall from the haphazardly stacked shelves.
"..." The two of them looked at each other in silence.
Ani looked at Lin lying on the sofa. He had handsome features, and his long, soft dark blue hair was not combed properly and lay messily on the quilt. The pampered young master had a tender body, and it seemed as if he couldn't breathe in such a place. There was always a sickly look on his face, and his brows were furrowed, as if he had suffered extremely hardship.
ah……
Aren’t mermaids a brutal and powerful race? Why isn't he like this?
Annie fell into a subtle thought. Ever since the moment she pulled him out of the wreckage of the starship in the abandoned old building, she had never seen the mermaid in its prime. So she subconsciously thought that what was said on the Star Network was just an exaggeration.
Lin looked away and patiently shrank into the quilt. Before he could curl up completely, a shadow appeared in front of him and the girl touched his forehead with her cold hand.
Lin looked at her with a look that was hard to tell whether it was resentment or hatred, but in any case he hated her.
Annie was very familiar with his physical data and immediately determined that he was still in the weak period of dry fever. She took out the purchased treatment medicine from her bag, tore open the package neatly, and broke off the protective cover in front of the syringe.
Something silvery-white flashed in the bag.
Lin had good eyesight and he immediately noticed that Ani's school bag had become a little fatter. Ani read the precautions on the medicine, lowered her head and followed his gaze, then said casually, "I got it from Zero One Three."
She unzipped the zipper and inside was a silver laser gun, a top-quality item worth half a mermaid's worth.
The gun eventually ended up in her hands, and Zero One-Three had no time to care about it in the end.
After Ani finished the introduction, she noticed that Lin's eyes were still on the silver gun, so she pulled out the laser gun and handed it to Lin: "You want to play? Be careful, I haven't had time yet-"
Before he finished his words, Lin suddenly grabbed the gun and pulled the trigger at Ani's chest.
The photon beam suddenly lit up, and the extremely bright laser illuminated the entire house and the alley. The entire dim red-light district seemed to have returned to daytime in this instant.
The day slowly came to an end.
The laser pierced through Annie's chest, and her flesh and blood turned to ashes. Pink mucus appeared wriggling inside, and then the wound quickly repaired itself at a speed that made people feel suffocated.
Ani paused, smiled and said, "I haven't had time to thoroughly study what Zero One Three taught me, but I should have no problem dealing with this gun."
Lin looked at her face, his chest heaving violently.
Ani half-knelt down, grabbed his hand, and put the muzzle of the gun against his neck. This was the position on the ship where she shot at Zero One Three. She held Lin's shaking fingers and said, "Here. You try."
The blue-haired mermaid stared at her motionlessly, then threw the silver weapon in his hand back into her arms and said, "Just kill me."
"No, you said you would cooperate with me." Ani said, "I checked the reproduction lock. Mermaids will only open their bodies to the kind of people they like. You have always been together in the water, and you are a race that does not intermarry. It is really troublesome to study your fertility."
She shook the syringe and continued, "Am I not one of your kind? Am I not acting realistically enough?" There was some confusion in Ani's tone.
The flesh and blood in her chest churned for a while and then completely recovered. She had largely simulated the mutant's near-immortal abilities.
Ani reached out and lifted Lin's chin. The weak mermaid did not hide the hatred and coldness in his eyes, but she ignored it and injected the healing potion into his veins.
