Dr. Olay: “…”
The merman quickly finished eating, and Bai Lixin opened the blue folder to teach him pronunciation syllable by syllable.
He taught patiently, and the merman learned earnestly.
Unconsciously, the merman not only learned the pronunciation of twenty vowels but also could read the correct pronunciation of combinations through arrangement.
After learning, he lowered his head thoughtfully, staring at his palm.
On the palm were the alphabet arrangement the young man wrote earlier, and beneath the alphabet arrangement, he added strange characters.
If he guessed correctly, the upper part represented alphabet pronunciation, and beneath it was the young man’s name.
So, the young man’s name was pronounced “Bai Lixin.”
A voice suddenly came from the overhead speaker.
“Ahem, I am Dr. Olay. Ask the merman about their faith.”
Bai Lixin frowned imperceptibly: “…”
‘How could I ask such a question?’
Nevertheless, he still nodded toward the speaker and, after shouting “I need more money,” looked at the merman with clear eyes.
Dr. Camila commented sarcastically, “The person you found is indeed a talent, he mentions money at every turn. After this research project, he might become a billionaire.”
Dr. Olay’s expression was indifferent, “Money is there, it’s just a matter of whether he lives to claim it.”
Dr. Camila raised an eyebrow, “Hahaha, you’re quite wicked.”
“Your faith,” the voice in the camera started again. Dr. Olay and Dr. Camila instantly stopped talking, unconsciously sitting up straight, watching the screen nervously.
Just when the young man was about to ask the next question, he suddenly stumbled, plunging into the water.
The merman was facing away from the camera, and they saw him pounce on the young man instantly. The two in the monitoring room couldn’t discern the merman’s current actions—was he saving the person or pulling them into the water.
However, despite the merman’s obstruction, they could still see the young man’s movements. The young man struggled for a few times on the water’s surface, and the body quickly disappeared into the water. After a while, the blue folder and the recording pen surfaced.
Shortly after the young man disappeared, the merman also dived into the water. His tail slapped the water surface once before he completely vanished from the frame.
Dr. Olay instantly stood up from the chair, about to rush outside.
Dr. Camila stopped him, “What are you going to do?”
Dr. Olay: “I’m going to save the person.”
Dr. Camila: “Hold on, let’s see the situation first.”
The pool was deep, and the water reflected the color of the surrounding tiles. Because of this, once the merman reached the bottom, they couldn’t capture his traces on the screen.
Dr. Olay hesitated, “Although that human is annoying, he is essential to us now. He’s the only one who can loosen number one. He can’t die.”
“Who said let him die?” Dr. Camila waved his hand, “People can generally survive within 6 minutes after drowning. It’s been less than a minute now. What are you afraid of? Wait for another two minutes, it won’t be too late to rescue him after four minutes.”
“Didn’t this human drown after being dragged into the water before? The merman is smart, that incident should make him understand the difference between him and the human.”
“Since he likes this human so much, he won’t just watch him die.”
“But if the merman watches the human die, then the merman’s various actions before might be a hunting behavior.”
“If that’s the case, then this person doesn’t actually have much value for us.”
“Do you think what I said is correct or not?”
Dr. Olay stood in front of the screen in surprise, “Hunting behavior, are you saying the merman might be luring him to relax his guard and then hunt?”
Dr. Camila: “Exactly. So I think we don’t need to intervene at all. We need to make this person understand that our research institute is not something he can blackmail. We will also assess him in reverse. In this employment relationship, we are the ones in control, Dr. Olay. If he has no value, he will only be devoured by the merman as food.”
“Haven’t you noticed that the merman hasn’t taken the initiative to eat ever since he saw this young man? In nature, some animals stop eating two days or even a week in advance to leave enough space in their stomachs for a big meal. Although we haven’t observed this in merfolk before, it doesn’t mean they don’t have this habit.”
“Perhaps we all misunderstood from the beginning, the merman doesn’t like this human, he just wants to eat him. After all, merfolk are masters in the sea, and hunting is their nature.”
“You make sense,” Dr. Olay sat back in his seat, “Merfolk are so intelligent, if merman no. 1 genuinely likes this person, he will save him.”
At the bottom of the pool, invisible to the camera, the young man in a white shirt stretched his body and fell naturally. In front of him, a beautiful merman swayed his tail and swam towards him.
The merman looked a bit anxious. He quickly approached, and arrived in front of Bai Lixin. Without saying a word, he opened his mouth, tightly sealing the young man’s soft, moist lips, transferring the oxygen from his mouth to the young man’s.
