Chapter 218 [Added] Be my pet baby, I am still young...
Bai Ling was coaxed by Yu Chen to go to the cafeteria, but as they walked along the way, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. His intuition told him that this matter was most likely related to the "thread" he had found before.
So he changed his route halfway and decided to go back and ask for clarification.
The mermaid is no longer in the office.
That's not a problem. Bai Ling has the highest authority in the entire army and can easily access all surveillance. Just use a light brain to check and you will know where the depression is.
Found it, in the cold storage.
The door creaked, and Bai Ling stepped in, stepping on the wet and sticky plastic floor.
This corridor belongs to the back kitchen warehouse. It was simply decorated, with no ceiling and winding black pipes on the ceiling, dripping smelly liquid from time to time.
Maybe it was because it was too quiet at this time, he became inexplicably nervous, and subconsciously felt that the fishy smell was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had smelled it.
The further you go in, the darker the light becomes.
The lighting here isn't very good. Several ceiling lights are broken, but the front desk staff hasn't come to fix them yet. On the one hand, it was because of the previous busy war, and on the other hand, the only people who would take this path were basically household androids. They usually come with their own infrared equipment and can work normally without light.
But today's bionic man doesn't seem to be very lucky.
Bai Ling raised the flashlight that came with the terminal and looked at the corner in front of him with a complicated expression. There lay a humanoid figure with its skull opened. A huge fly crawled out from the gradually cooling artificial brain stem, rubbing its hands and feet rapidly, and finally climbed onto the protruding eyeball.
The bionic man's expression was distorted and terrified, as if he had no idea of his own "death".
He was killed by someone unexpected.
This thought popped into Bai Ling’s mind.
At this moment, the sound of a heavy door closing was heard from the darkness deep in the corridor. Bai Ling's fingers holding the terminal suddenly froze, and he was unsure whether he should continue moving forward.
Then he heard a slow, sharp, dragging noise on the ground.
It was like someone was dragging a whole bag of heavy, swollen corpses towards him.
As he was dragging, he suddenly stopped.
Bai Ling breathed rapidly and slowly moved the flashlight over there——
A pair of bright red eyes were looking at him.
He took a step back in fear and almost screamed, but years of nerve training made him subconsciously draw his gun and aim.
"baby……"
His defenseless back was pressed against him, and the arms tightened around his waist like vines. Before Bai Ling could react, the gun had been taken away, and the skin, as cold and greasy as scales, gradually pressed against his neck, which was sweating from nervousness. The thing rubbed against his ear and whispered to him:
"Don't be afraid, baby...it's me."
The neck where the sticker was placed instantly gave rise to goose bumps. Bai Ling's pupils shrank, and he immediately elbowed backwards, but the opponent dodged it easily. While the writing was in progress, he quickly leaped to the side, pulled out the knife from his waist, and threw it hard.
The blade grazed the creature's cheek and hit the alarm on the wall behind it.
The backup system starts.
The neon lights flickered on. The fluorescent green arrow on the light box pointed to the escape exit and also vaguely reflected the tall silhouette of the man.
His thumb slowly rubbed the bloodline on his cheek, and in the blink of an eye, the skin had automatically stitched itself together. Yu Chen rubbed his fingertips, looked at the bird that was soaked with cold sweat, and said helplessly:
"Baby, today is not a good time to kill your husband."
"...Who are you!" Bai Ling was highly alert.
Yu Chen was asked a question and then answered meekly: "Marine husband?"
This sentence appropriately dispersed the tense atmosphere. But Bai Ling didn't buy it at all. He sneered and said, "Don't imitate his tone!"
"Trying to trick me again, monster."
Yu Chen: “…”
Finished. How can he prove that he is himself?
Take out the previous spiritual thread and show it to the bird to prove that it is impossible for him to split into a whole person?
No, the props were eaten by him.
Then we can only persuade them verbally.
Yu Chen originally wanted to coax Bai Ling into believing it. But it was so rare to see a bird so nervous and angry that he couldn't help but want to tease it. He then changed his tone to a gloomy one:
"That's right, I ate your ocean husband, and I'm the one sleeping with you tonight."
Bai Ling: “…”
What an unambitious person. Retired ghost, this is it.
He walked over and pulled out the knife stuck in the wall expressionlessly, "Oh, it's a husband."
Yu Chen raised his eyebrows: "Don't jump to conclusions so quickly, it might be a monster."
Bai Ling sneered, "Except for you, what other monster can be so relaxed? After eating Isuparaiso, you don't think about fighting for power, but only want to get into my bed."
He made a circle with his right hand to put away the knife, pinched the old man's face with his left hand, and glanced at the light. Well, there is no scar left. I can still see it when I ride tomorrow morning.
Yu Chen pinched him: "Baby's opinions are always so correct and unique."
They walked out in the direction indicated by the neon arrow. Halfway through the walk, the dragging sound behind me started again.
Bai Ling felt uneasy and turned around to look, only to find that it was just a sweeping robot dragging a large garbage bag. The red eyes just now are also the robot's scanner.
The fishy smell in the air is getting stronger...
He sniffed his nose, then suddenly grabbed Yu Chen's shoulder and sniffed. This rotten smell had a bit of a sweet and fishy taste. Why did it sound a bit like the pheromones of an old thing?
Is your husband rotten?
"Is there any special taste?" Yu Chen suddenly asked.
"No, it's just a fishy smell." Bai Ling let go of his hand.
Yu Chen explained: "It might be the smell of garbage. The cold storage is full of empty shells of seafood. They need to be cleaned out in time."
Bai Ling glanced at him and asked, "Is this what you are here for?"
"What else?"
"I should have thought you were going to deal with the body."
"Deal with the culprit who attacked you? I've already done it," Yu Chen licked his teeth calmly, "You can sleep well now."
On the way back, Bai Ling didn't say anything else. Yu Chen thought he was still slowly digesting this matter, but he didn't expect that as soon as he closed the door, Bai Ling suddenly grabbed him and asked:
"Tell me the truth, you won't live long?"
Yu Chen raised his eyebrows subtly, seeming a little surprised, "Have you read the conclusion drawn from the post?"
Bai Ling raised the corner of his lips, "I guessed."
In fact, he didn't expect that he could ask it so bluntly. Death, the future, and "how many years can you stay with me" have always been issues that they deliberately avoided.
After all, their age difference is enough to jump from the steam age to the information age.
There is also the disease of depression.
He has never been completely well since the day Bai Ling met him. It always costs a lot of money and relies on a top medical team to keep it going, and the situation is sometimes good and sometimes bad.
Bai Ling is not a person who would spoil the fun. So every time the mermaid came to him, he was happy from the bottom of his heart and welcomed the fish to build a nest in his nest.
Let's just live happily for a while, why worry about tomorrow.
However, today, he seems to have to face this problem head-on.
Yu Chen took off his coat, walked to the refrigerator, bent down, took out the lemon mousse cake and put it on the table. He cut the cake and put large pieces on Bai Ling's plate while whispering:
"Baby, don't believe what they say. I'm still young."
Bai Ling: "You are young, ha. You always fold my handkerchief into an old-fashioned square."
Yu Chen raised his chin, "This is a habit of our young people in the last century."
"The last century." Bai Ling repeated.
Yu Chen placed the plate in front of him, sat down at the small table facing him, took a sip of the cold rose tea that had been brewed in advance, and said as a matter of course: "Believe me, you will never find a mermaid younger than me."
"Hiss...you killed them all." Bai Ling accidentally ate the decorative lemon and grimaced in pain because of the sourness.
Yu Chen took a look and wiped the cream on his lips with his fingertips, "Not really."
"What do you mean?" Bai Ling took the opportunity to bite his finger.
"When we were sorting out the bodies, half of the fish was missing. It might have broken into pieces, or it might have slipped into the sewer." Later, we dug three feet deep into the ground but still couldn't catch the half fish that had escaped.
The other party is very smart, the smartest among all the mermaids. It was hidden very well, in a place where no network equipment was used, to avoid being discovered by him.
But Yu Chen believed that when the sea of the empire was burned upside down, he would find the mermaid.
"But that's not the point." Yu Chen lowered his eyes slightly, gently pried open the bird's beak with his knuckles, picked out the lemon that had been chewed twice, put it on his own cake, and pinched it into a new decoration. "The important thing is that your future will be very smooth, you will realize your wishes, and live a happy life."
Bai Ling: “…………”
If this was said by a normal person, he would be so moved that he would cry bitterly, thinking that my husband is so good, and he would wish me happiness and remarriage before he died.
But this is Yi, Su, Pa, Lei, So.
Bai Ling absolutely didn't believe that this "happiness" did not include his existence.
who is he? He is a person who wants to occupy all the positions of husband, boyfriend, lover, and confidant even after getting married. His definition of "happiness" for his spouse absolutely and unquestionably includes himself.
Who else but me can make my baby feel good? He must be thinking so.
This kind of guy would never die easily, and even if he died, he wouldn't react like this.
Bai Ling: "...You won't die, you will haunt me like a ghost."
Yu Chen asked happily, "How do you know?"
Bai Ling raised his arms and said confidently, "Because if you really couldn't do it, you would definitely drag me to make love all day long until dawn. Then you would trick me into buying you half a plate of leg meat and ham so that I could send you off. Instead of -"
He glanced at it, "Here's a leisurely place to have tea and cake."
The mermaid held the small bone china teacup and tilted her head slightly, "You know, I love this about you, your ability to accept all bad news."
After finishing the last bite of cake, Bai Ling poked his fork into Yu Chen's plate and looked directly at him: "Tell me, what do you want to become?"
Is it a monster covered in rot? Or will it split into countless bad fish and cause trouble for him everywhere?
Yu Chen originally wanted to confess at a more tactful time, but he was being held down by Falcon with a plate and could not avoid it, so he said frankly:
"It's an old problem. My nerves are overdeveloped, and when the drugs can't control them, they will penetrate the skin and become the 'lines' you saw last time."
Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief. It was just his nerves, much better than he thought.
He thought the fish would rot all over and become sewer fish sold at a discount in supermarkets. Although he accepts it well, sleeping with something too smelly is still a bit challenging.
"But my neural level is relatively high, so I can mimic it, such as hair, wool, and sofa cushions. There is also the possibility of cell differentiation - turning into my local organs."
Bai Ling should have been frightened when he heard this.
But if you calm down and think about it, this guy was so cruel that he put fish tails in a can and pickled them for himself to eat, and they grew back within a month.
With such highly developed super cells that are antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, it seems not unimaginable that nerve cells can differentiate like stem cells in vitro...
Yu Chen observed Bai Ling's expression, from shock, to doubt, and then to expressionless and numb acceptance. He smiled and said in his heart, Little bird, little bird, birds’ nerves are actually much stronger than mine.
Bai Ling asked him suspiciously, "So you are too strong, so you have loose threads?"
Yu Chen nodded: "My physical strength is good, but it is still a little bit inferior to my mental strength. This container is no longer strong enough to carry my spirit, so sometimes it will crack slightly."
Bai Ling: Are you going to ascend to heaven?
Think about the little mermaid in the Danish fairy tale, who flew to the sky after her death and turned into a fairy. Maybe this guy’s ancestors on Earth also had this kind of funeral tradition.
Therefore, from the very beginning, this fish ate mental supplements crazily, became blind, and isolated its five senses, all in order to weaken its mental strength and prolong the use time of its physical body.
What a pitiful body.
I'll ride it more often next time.
Bai Ling was still concerned about the monster fish, so he asked, "What did Doctor Zhuo say? Is there any new medicine that works for you?"
Yu Chen ordered the robot vacuum cleaner to come and collect the dishes and wash them. "He said that my cells are too active and may need to be chained to reduce their activity."
Bai Ling:!
Yu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. He swore that little bird's eyes lit up with excitement for a second.
Baby likes it.
However, Yu Chen also gave a proper reminder: "My nerves will differentiate outside of my body, and you may...often encounter some abnormal things in life. If you see them, don't be surprised, tell me, and I will find someone to deal with it or solve it myself."
Bai Ling did not comment. After all, he was no longer surprised by the abnormal behavior of fish. The ancient Greek god who was in charge of madness. Who could be crazier than him?
However, when he woke up the next day, Bai Ling regretted jumping to conclusions.
He looked up slowly and dully, and saw a layer of web woven in the corner of the ceiling of the small room.
It was a large, bright red net, with blood running actively through each of its fibers, bright and shiny, and it looked very much like—
The mermaid's nerves came out and wove a huge capillary network on top of his head in the middle of the night, with dried mosquitoes hanging on it!
He said that there were no mosquitoes biting him last night for the first time!
Externalization of organs. Normal human organs require muscle blood supply, but the organs differentiated from the mermaid's mental threads can circulate extracorporeally.
The monster fish is really not deceptive.
But Bai Ling would rather be deceived by him.
Bai Ling woke up the mermaid next to him. Yu Chen opened his eyes and took a look. He said calmly, "Oh, last night you said that the mosquitoes were buzzing so much that you couldn't sleep, so it got up to help you catch them."
Bai Ling: ...Don't talk like you're my pet!
But after using it with trepidation for two days, Bai Ling found that this net was actually quite good.
There is no need to plug in electricity or light mosquito coils. When the net is hungry, it will crawl out and hang outside the window to catch a few blind pigeons. You can also dry the pigeon meat for yourself to eat.
Anyway, I have to work at sea this month, and there are a lot of mosquitoes here, so I'll just leave it lying in the corner.
However, Bai Ling always forgets that his indulgence will make the evil forces worse.
Yu Chen is the kind of person who grows flowers wherever he goes. Although he slept together with Bai Ling when he came to the front line, his luxury jump ship was still parked outside the atmosphere.
There are dozens of pots of his favorite flowers on the boat, and he takes time out every day to water and fertilize them.
The main focus is relaxation.
That day, Bai Ling collected two large buckets of rainwater rich in nitrogen fertilizer and said he would give them to him to water the flowers.
Yu Chen exchanged dried pigeons for rain water from Falcon, and the deal was perfect.
Just one flaw.
After finishing his work, Bai Ling followed the mermaid to the boat to see the flowers. He heard that there were two pots of Marguerite daisy that were blooming beautifully, and he liked the little honey-colored flowers.
Yu Chen simply cut a handful, used them as fresh cut flowers, wrapped them in newspaper, tied them with a ribbon and gave them to him.
Bai Ling was holding the bouquet in a joyful mood. Just as she was about to tiptoe to kiss the husband, she saw her elegant and dignified husband from the Ocean Clan with slender fingers picking a flower from the green grass...
kidney.
...living kidney.
Yu Chen picked it up, his gentle face full of joy, "The baby's dinner is ready today."
Bai Ling: "...If you dare to mix that stuff into my mushroom noodles, you will never have a baby again."
Of course Yu Chen was joking.
"Don't worry, I won't give you this to eat, it's just leftovers."
——The kind of tone that treats oneself as if it were fresh-frozen salmon.
"But this pot of plant kidney is really good, it can be placed in the office as a potted plant to keep away mosquitoes." The mermaid picked up the pot of plant kidney and handed it to Bai Ling.
Bai Ling sneered: "Which normal person would use this thing as a bonsai?"
Two hours later.
“Help, help, Commander Bai!” The messenger was crawling all over the ground. “Your potted plant has bitten off my biggest and most elastic tentacle, wuwuwuwuwu——”
Bai Ling was very calm: "Go and collect the work injury allowance."
"Ooooooh my tentacles..."
"three times."
"It is our unshirkable responsibility to devote ourselves to raising Commander Bai's bonsai!" With a bang of boots, he retreated in a dignified manner.
Of course, there are also those who stubbornly protest. When Seibuji walked in and saw the bonsai, his brown eyes widened at first, and then for the first time in his life he began to care about Bai Ling's mental state.
He advised Bai Ling to sober up. It's really interesting to put this thing in the office.
Every time this happened, Bai Ling would argue: "What's so scary about this? Is it scarier than the man-eating alpha in the Colosseum? It only eats peanuts and bugs. It's vegan."
"Commander Bai... I'm not criticizing your 'Bonsai' diet and health issues, but——"
"Please call it 'Flytrap'."
"This isn't a Venus flytrap, I know plants!"
"I know." Bai Ling said excitedly, "This is the nickname I gave it."
Go and lose your sanity, you are all my pets!
