My body shook, and my eyes widened in shock.

Ben smiled, "You look shocked, but that's actually a phenomenon we've found." The mermaid has the trait that it has the same genes as them, and can telepathize with each other, and sense at any time what state the other person is in - both physical and psychological - whether the other person is near them, this phenomenon is called mental telepathy in science. In addition, they can also exchange memories on the basis of psychic induction, and can implant their own memories into the mind of the psychopathic person at will, so that the psychopathic person can experience their experience first-hand. After our research, we found that your ancestors may have intermarried with the mermaid, so your mother, including you, has the genes of the mermaid in her body. And for the sake of the real yàn, we have also injected your mother's genes into this mermaid, that is, he can carry out mental induction and memory exchange with your mother and you. ”

To be honest, I was too shocked to speak. I knew that I had a psychic connection with my mother, but I didn't expect that the reason was actually because of the blue demon mermaid gene in our body, and there were a few times when I felt the state of others from the first perspective, and it was also because of the same reason.

"Isn't this glamorous mermaid dead?" Why can you still have psychic contact with me?

"Apparently dead, but only I know, actually," Ben said in a sudden lowered voice, whispering in my ear, "he's still alive." ”

I was surprised, "What? "I know very well what Chelson's miniature pulse cannon had smashed into his body at that time, and how he could still be alive.

Ben lifted his glasses, and his voice sounded a little meaningful: "After the accident, I unexpectedly discovered that the mermaids have a strong vitality, when the external environment affects their survival, they will break down all genes and cells, and integrate them into a certain part of the body - this part may be an organ, an eye, or even a hair - we call this part of the fusion gene 'gene body', and when the gene body is in a state, they will completely stop life activities. It is not until someone injects the gene body into the body of another species that they can recombine the gene with the cell by swallowing and fusing the gene of that species, and finally completely take the body of the species and regenerate it. ”

"Although, in some ways, they are able to acquire new life in this unique way, there is a big limitation to this, if no one injects the gene body into the host body - oh, we call the species that are forced to accept the gene body in science - well, then they will never return to life activity, no different from death. Therefore, the rebirth of the blue mermaid has a lot to do with the person who helped him, and the person who helped him was your mother...... Yes, your mother was slaughtered in that field. Missing in the killing, so she's not here. But," Ben looked at me with a weird smile, "In the process of getting a new life, the mermaid has undergone genetic fusion and recombination, and the species and morphology have changed, but some genes are still clearly revealed, such as his face. I found a mermaid with similar facial features to this mermaid, and I quickly recognized his identity and found your mother. ”

"And where the hell is my mother!" Once again, I was thrilled. I don't care who my mother is with, I just want to know her whereabouts. Every day and night in the past, I used to send messages to my mother with a miniature firebird, but she never received a message from me, and I was going crazy trying to find her. I can't wait to hug her right now, and tell her how much I've missed her all these years!

"Please don't get excited. You probably don't know how great the impact of the accident was eighteen years ago, the mermaid's electromagnetic energy attack had a certain impact on Ms. Renata Eddie, who was still in the research institute at the time, and when I found her, she was no longer able to walk, and could only rely on the artificial organs and oxygen delivery system I provided her to keep her alive, and she couldn't leave the secluded place at all...... Oh, please don't look at me with that angry look, rest assured, I didn't hurt her, after all, she is a rare mermaid biologist, and we still need her help. As for this demon mermaid, because of his terrifying attack ability, I don't have and don't dare to hurt him. They are doing well now, please don't worry, but due to the special situation of your mother and the mermaid, the real yàn can no longer proceed smoothly, which is also the purpose of our invitation to come, I hope you can help us with the next step. If you can help us with the fulfillment, I promise I will definitely take you to meet your mother. ”

I clenched my fists, I wanted to punch him again. Listen to his tone, it looked like he was calmly talking to me about the terms, but his tone was full of threats, and I gritted my teeth and said word by word: "Why should I believe you?" ”

"I know you're not going to take my word for it, so I've got this stuff ready," Ben took a black USB stick from his jacket pocket and handed it to me, "I think you need to see this." The computer is there, plugged in and ready to go. ”

I frowned and pulled over the USB flash drive, walked quickly to the old computer, turned on the power, turned it on, and prepared to □□ the USB port of the USB flash drive.

"Wait," Ben stopped me, he carefully checked around the computer before I was asked to □□ the interface, "This USB flash drive is a confidential text, out of caution, I need to check if there are any surveillance cameras around." ”

"Then why don't you get rid of the surveillance on the ceiling......" My smile at Kamimoto came to an abrupt end, the camera that was intact when I came in was now shattered.

I didn't even notice when Ben made a move.

I have a feeling that I can't put it into words, that Ben is too mysterious. I still don't know how deep his abilities are and how smart his mind is, the only thing I know is that he is quite cautious and quite difficult to deal with.

The computer desktop with a pure blue background comes into view, and even middle-aged people who like retro now disdain to use this ugly desktop, let alone this old-fashioned system that has been withdrawn from the market. Probably because of the aging of the computer, it took a full five minutes from boot to normal operation, and I was anxiously waiting, and cold sweat kept breaking out.

There was a voice swirling in my head, and he said don't open this USB stick, you'll regret it, Sals, don't open it.

However, my hand did not obey, the mouse moved to the removable disk, double-clicked to type, and clicked on the only video in the USB flash drive.

A haggard face came into view.

Mother! I excitedly leaned over to the computer to see the face I remembered, but the video was like an old-fashioned television, with snowflakes and black dots, and the characters distorted from time to time.

In my lonely days, my mother's picture was my only solace, and even though it was blurry and I couldn't feel it, I was sure that the face belonged to my mother—even if it had the vicissitudes of time.

The mother in the video is leaning on the sofa, the hair that looks very energetic in the photo is now scattered, and the fine sunlight hits her face, reflecting the vicissitudes and exhaustion on her face, she doesn't say a word to the camera, but the loneliness seeps out from her whole body.

The video is very short, only a few tens of seconds, after the video ended, I reluctantly replayed it several times in front of the black screen playback software, trying to deeply remember every action of my mother, but the playback suddenly stopped.

Ben forcibly pulled out the USB flash drive.

"Give it back to me." I narrowed my eyes slightly and said to him in a cold voice.

"If you help me, I can give it to you. I think you should know that you don't have a choice, and although I don't want to hurt your mother, if you don't cooperate with me, I don't think I mind making a video of killing your mother......"

I threw a punch at Ben, but he seemed prepared and easily dodged it.

"Oh, violence doesn't solve the problem," Ben smiled naturally and raised the USB stick, "Resist violently, or obey honestly?" ”

I was numbed by the current of the mechanical lock again, and I leaned weakly against the computer desk, holding back a breath of anger, gritting my teeth, "You do this, does Chelson know?" ”

"Of course he doesn't know, today's Qiē will only be regarded as a friendly conversation I have to convince you, and I don't think you will let him know, right?" Ben's fingers pushed his glasses, and the lenses reflected a shrewd light in the light, "After Cherson's father died, he took over the institute, but as you can see, he is stupid and arrogant, he will one day destroy the research center that his father worked so hard to build, so now, in order to save the rotten institute, we need to save ourselves, and only by mastering the core technology can we have the right to put the gun on his neck." ”

"What exactly do you want me to do?" I took a deep breath and tried to restrain the anger that was pressing down in my heart, "As you can see, I don't have my mother's erudition, and I don't know anything about merfolk. ”

"You don't need to know about merfolk, what we need is your mermaid genes, ...... to be exact."

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was a blasting sound, and the ground shook like an earthquake.

"Oh, what happened?" Ben immediately put away the USB flash drive, walked quickly to the door of the real yàn room, and as soon as he stepped out of the real yàn room, he turned his head to me and smiled, "I forgot to tell you that your mother gave this mermaid a very beautiful name: Artelius." ”

In an instant, I froze.
