Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Welcome, classmate Annie.
This potion is what healed him.
But he was too weak and overreacted to the healing potion. When the liquid in the syringe poured into his body, his slender fingers subconsciously clenched, his finger bones turned white, the winding blue blood vessels slightly floated up, and a few thin scales appeared.
And quickly disappeared.
His hands are shaking. Half a month ago, when Annie collected his blood and tasted the taste of mermaid blood, he also had such a slight tremor... She lowered her eyes and stared at the trembling fingertips, and suddenly clasped his palm with her other hand.
Lin's body stiffened for a moment.
Ani's warm palm pressed into his skin.
Lin resisted even more. He immediately changed his cooperative attitude and tried to pull away the back of his hand with a needle hole - but he failed to do so. Annie held his hand tightly, and the shape of the joints immediately changed to that of a mermaid. The strength of an adult female mermaid clamped his knuckles.
It was like a real fellow tribesman was trying to keep him.
Her nails were a light pink, with a healthy, cool sheen. Annie didn't look over. She injected the entire potion into him. She felt the tense muscles in his arm and the pulse beating in his blood vessels.
The injection is complete. Ani broke the used needle tube, wrapped it in a plastic bag, looked up at him and said, "September 8th is my enrollment date. Before that, we have to go to District 8 in advance."
Lin remained silent.
Ani came half a foot closer: "Let's go back to where you're supposed to be teaching, teacher."
Those azure pupils shrank for a moment, and when he raised his head, his eyes met Annie's. He was stimulated by the title.
He seemed to dislike being called teacher by Annie.
A few days later, Ani took him away from District 4.
There were no unexpected events this time. The only thing she had to do was pay a large sum of money when entering the eighth district, which made Annie stare at the disappearing string of numbers on the balance for a whole day.
Even the fresh air and abundant sunshine of District 8 could not soothe her. Annie calculated the balance again in a depressed mood and glanced at Lin who was leaning against the car window to bask in the sun.
He slept very peacefully.
Ani looked at him for a few seconds, but Lin opened his eyes and glanced at her, asking with his eyes, "What's the matter?"
She handed the other person a StarNet watch.
Lin opened his eyes in surprise. He took the watch and found that it had various monitoring programs. He chuckled softly, having anticipated this situation. "New control method?"
"Yeah, the teacher's identity is more complicated than I thought, I have to worry."
Lin felt uncomfortable after being called, and closed his eyes again: "Looking at the attitude of those space pirates in searching for me, I know that my family doesn't care much about someone like me. As for the heir... just listen to it."
"Three hundred million..."
"If you have seen Hailan University, you will know that these three hundred million are just a drop in the bucket for its investors."
It seems that Lin's status in the Lanlong family is quite delicate. Annie looked at his profile for a moment, and some melodramatic scenes that humans had instilled in her emerged in her mind. She said, "This amount of money is already an astronomical figure. Teacher, don't take off this watch, and don't say anything that will destroy our relationship, or you will die."
"Do we have any feelings?"
“Whether it’s humans or mermaids, don’t they always emphasize that love is needed to do it…” Annie opened her mouth with that well-behaved and sweet face and was about to say a string of unbearable words. At this moment, the reminder sound of entering Hailan University sounded in the car, drowning out the tail end of her sentence.
Is Hailan University... so big?
Annie was stunned for a moment, then went to the window on Lin's side to look.
Unlike the chaotic and dark Third District, the outside of the window was bright and clean, with small teams of flying surveillance cameras patrolling in an orderly manner in the air. The number of modified humans in the field of vision was visibly decreasing, and the logo of the United Police Department could be seen everywhere.
Suddenly, a snow-white seagull flew past.
Ani's attention was drawn away by it, seagulls flew by, and the vehicle suddenly drove into a cross-sea track. Many other aerial tracks merged in, crossing the ocean in an orderly manner -
A deep blue color floods into our eyes, crashes into the world, and covers the entire universe.
Waves flew across the unpolluted sea, and the shadows of countless creatures swam across the surface. Annie looked at the shimmering water for a long time before she noticed the warm breath beside her ear.
When she suddenly squeezed over, he subconsciously stepped aside. But the space was narrow, and Ani's hand casually pressed on his leg, giving Lin the illusion that he couldn't move.
"...It's beautiful, isn't it?" He said, "Only here on Aquamarine can people breathe without damaging their bodies. The so-called premium oxygen is free here."
This is clearly one of the birthplaces of mankind in the universe, but it is not a completely habitable planet.
"Universe Type I humans were born here," he whispered, "a huge race that spread across all the star regions, destroying everything like locusts, they gained too much, but also abandoned too much...On this former home planet, only the current residence of the mermaids is relatively pure."
"Strictly speaking, mermaids are a branch of human evolution." Ani leaned against the glass window and looked at the ocean below. "Why do you sound like you have no sympathy for them?"
"...Even reproductive isolation has evolved, can we still be considered the same race?" Lin didn't know why he said this to the little monster. After he finished speaking, he covered his face with his hands as if he couldn't stand it anymore. "I have used up my quota for talking to you. Can you sit back now?"
"Oh." Ani nodded, "Okay, teacher."
“…”
The end of this road is the information entry station of Hailan University.
Although school has not yet started, you can already start entering your information. When they got here, the concentration of mermaids around them increased sharply. After getting off the bus, Annie finally saw a real female mermaid.
Their height is about the same as Lin, around 1.8 meters, and they are highly similar to the appearance that Annie transformed into. Almost all of them have light-colored eyes and long curly hair.
Just as Annie was observing carefully, several young mermaids who had finished entering the information suddenly turned around and looked at her. Their eyes met hers, and then they raised expressions that were half curious, half arrogant and disgusted on their faces, as if they were looking at something dirty.
This arrogant and mean demeanor looks very familiar. Annie probably guessed that this race was quite unfriendly to humans, but she was admitted as a human, and human was the only legitimate identity that could be checked on the Star Network.
Annie walked over, entered her identity, and connected her StarNet account to the school's equipment.
She passed by several young mermaids and heard a few deliberately vague common words among the dense mermaid language - "naturally inferior species" and "dirty things" and other harsh words mixed in.
Ani didn't react much, she was not a human.
She entered the information intently and filled in some necessary options on the pop-up window. But this completely unprovoked and unaffected performance seemed to make these young people quite unhappy.
Humans are a rare species here. Annie's appearance made other mermaids passing by stop and watch and listen with ambiguous expressions, secretly supporting this racial bullying. More and more eyes were cast upon him, and the voices of those people were becoming more and more harsh and outrageous.
Annie just felt the noise. She was pondering over a form, which required filling out in the mermaid language, but she had not yet learned the language very well.
She reached into her student bag and tried to look through her notes. This action caught the silent Lin's eyelids and made him jump inexplicably. He walked forward and held her hand: "Don't pull out the gun."
Ani raised her eyes in confusion.
Lin said to her, "If you commit murder here, you will be killed without a complete body." He thought of the scene where Annie was pierced by the photon beam but recovered quickly, and hesitated for a moment, "The security here is very complete, it's not a place like the Third District. You..."
"Teacher, are you afraid that I will hurt them?" Annie said.
Lin was stunned.
She raised her hand and pointed at the young mermaids next to her. These people were obviously students and were not very old.
Ani looked at him and said, "You are afraid that I will kill them, just like you suddenly agreed to cooperate with me. Lin, your fear of death is not greater than your fear of your fellow fish being harmed and killed. You don't care about your own life at all, you ignore it to the point of almost hating it. But you have pity and sympathy for others...oh, other fish, and you are willing to sacrifice yourself. What makes you so twisted? Just because you are a teacher?"
His deep blue eyes flashed with an expression that he wanted to conceal, but even this intention to conceal was clearly seen. Lin was unsure of Ani's thoughts and didn't dare to let go of her hand: "...I'll drive them away for you."
"Drive away?" Ani still didn't understand what he was saying. She was very smart, but sometimes she felt that there were barriers in her conversations with males. She further said, "You think they harassed me? Well, I have heard all these harassing words now, and when I seemed to be about to fight back, you suddenly grabbed me and said, let's make peace, I will help you drive them away."
Ani smiled and said, "Only when both sides take a step back can we call it reconciliation, teacher."
Lin was at his wits' end: "I apologize to you on their behalf, don't be angry, Ani."
"This is the first time you called me by my name," Ani said. "It's not good news for you to know how to threaten you. Also, you should be sincere when you apologize. You should bow your head."
This is a tough monster. She is not a human girl who is easy to bully.
Lin exhaled softly and lowered his head. His long dark blue hair, as blue as the sea, fell down as he moved, and was reflected by the sunlight, creating a sparkling luster.
Ani ran her hands through his hair.
The moment her long hair brushed against her palm, Annie suddenly grabbed his neck, pulled the blue-haired mermaid in front of her, raised her head and sealed his lips.
The surroundings fell silent at that moment.
All the noise, clamor, and discussion were knocked back into her stomach after she kissed a blue-haired merman of noble blood. Lin opened his eyes wide in surprise, but the next second, he knew what kind of "sincerity" Ani was asking for.
What she wants is "sincerity of cooperation".
What she wanted was an excellent research sample so that she could unlock the reproduction block, pollute the bloodline of the mermaids, and trample on this proud race that did not intermarry.
Lin began to struggle instinctively.
Ani seemed to be waiting for him to resist and quickly grabbed his wrist with her other hand. Just as their lips touched and their teeth were pried open, Annie, who had actually seen a mermaid, learned something new: a forked tongue, completely different from that of humans, spread into his territory.
This is the "foreplay" unique to mermaids. The forked tongue seemed to be longer and it penetrated deep into his mouth, as if it wanted to swim directly into his throat. The strong sense of aggression made Lin very repulsive. He could hardly breathe, and his crystal blue eyes were filled with mist. In the end - he almost bit her.
Just when Lin was about to hit bottom, Ani released her hand and her tongue returned to its original state. She turned around and continued to enter the information, then casually asked him what a mermaid word meant.
Lin answered quickly in a hoarse voice. Then he turned his head and covered his mouth. Even if Annie didn't look, she could tell that his expression was quite interesting. About half a minute later, he couldn't help squatting and retching.
Psychological nausea took over this body.
He couldn't vomit anything, but he was retching so hard that he couldn't stand up. At the same time, the voices floating faintly in the air also changed to "How can there be such a dissolute nobleman", "Kissing a human? God of the sea...", "Bitch".
Obviously, in the minds of these little mermaids, it is impossible for such an ordinary and weak human girl to force themselves. He must have volunteered.
After Anni finished entering the information, a message "Welcome, classmate Anni" finally appeared on the screen.
As she walked over, the voices in her ears had turned into insults to Lin. The mermaids' worldviews were shattered after seeing what had just happened, but seemingly because of Lin's identity, they did not rush up to question him directly. Ani took a sip of water from her bag, then stood behind him and said lazily, "I probably heard a few insults. How did they know you were a noble? Wouldn't the symbol of the Blue Dragon family be your hair?"
Lin did not answer. He asked in a hoarse voice: "When did you find out..."
"Tongue?" Ani guessed his question. "They laughed so wildly when they scolded me, of course I noticed it. It turns out that my imitation was not correct. No wonder you didn't react at all last time."
"Don't tell me."
Ani looked at the beautiful ocean not far away, handed him the water in her hand, and then thought about the admission instructions she had just seen. She said, "By the way, what is the F department just displayed? Are my admission scores very bad?"
Department F is the lowest ranked department in Hailan University.
"In the third district, you are a unique genius." Lin drank some water, and his voice was still a little dry. "But here, you can only barely be the last of their classmates. Whether it is skills, culture, fighting, or physical fitness, your entry results are..."
She had drunk this bottle of water before, but as long as she didn't remind Lin, he wouldn't vomit to death due to psychological resistance. Ani raised the corners of her lips, finding it very interesting.
Just then, a mechanical voice sounded nearby.
"Detected - beep - missing person detected." A flying camera stopped next to Lin, "Retrieving identity - verifying - verified."
"Teacher number 2513, Star Network account XXX... Dear Mr. Lin, the good news that you appeared in District 8 will be conveyed to several gentlemen and ladies who have the authority to know your activities. The news that you will arrive as scheduled will also be synchronized to the principal's inbox..."
