17. Chapter 17
"Merfolk." I made my guess and was satisfied to see Ben's smile stiffen.
"You're really embarrassing, well, I have to admit it, you're smart." Ben pushed his glasses, looking like he was hiding his embarrassment, "The subject of our transformation is indeed a mermaid. We've spent a lot of effort and time catching merfolk, and you know, the merfolk don't have a good relationship with the Nords, or even your Gaddies......"
I grabbed my cup in my hand: "Put away your insulting scorn, we are the Gosai. ”
Ben paused and took a drag on his cigarette: "I haven't heard that in a long time...... You've caused me a lot of surprises. In short, the capture process was more difficult, and we even sacrificed many of our companions, but this qiē was worth it. ”
Ben propped himself on the table with one hand and the unburned cigarette in the other, and looked deep into the distance, and I seemed to see a glint in his eyes: "How ridiculous it is that we, as human beings, are subject to demihuman creatures like merfolk, even though we rule the island of Cezella. Now, that will change, Ai God has given us brains, we have mastered technology, and we will use this qiē advantage to bring those half-human species under our feet. ”
I put down the glass of water in my hand and stared at Ben, "So you came up with the idea of transforming the merfolk?" ”
"To be precise, it is to transform the mermaid's real body into a weapon that is completely obeyed by us, as our undercover agent to infiltrate the mermaid race, and attack the clansmen according to our orders, and even destroy the entire mermaid race. Once the merfolk race is massively destroyed, we will be able to subdue them with high technology. Ben seemed to see the disdain in my eyes and explained, "I know what you're trying to express, but believe me, it's the most effective way to ruin them." You haven't experienced it, and you don't know how terrible the lethality of mermaids is, and if you directly clash with them, it will only bring us death. ”
I was a little surprised, this real yàn purpose was completely unexpected, I didn't expect the Nord people to be doing such a bold real yàn. I looked at the black dragon seal under Ben's cuff and said calmly, "It seems that you have not only transformed the mermaid, but also transformed yourself and gained abilities. ”
"Of course," Ben followed my gaze to the Black Dragon Seal, "and we're going to have equal strength. Noble bloodlines and powerful abilities make us invulnerable. ”
I sneered and said, "No matter how much you despise the Gosai psychologically, you still surrender to the Gosai's powers. ”
Ben laughed, "No, you're wrong, we're a conquest of the forces of nature, and we're different from you. ”
I sneered disdainfully, "Really? "I don't say anything anymore, in fact, what they do doesn't have any effect on me, on the contrary, I hope that they will fight with the merfolk and break the net, so that our Gosai can take back control of the island of Xizeya.
"Every modified merfolk needs a permanent breeder," Ben snuffed out the cigarette butt and slowly exhaled a smoke ring, "and your mother is a very good biologist, she has been studying mermaids for many years, and she was invited to come as a breeder......"
"Poof!"
I threw him an angry punch in the face, only to hear a thud and Ben's glasses fell to the ground and his head tilted to the side. At the same time, I felt a strong tingling sensation in my body, and my knee suddenly lost strength, and if I hadn't climbed onto the chair next to me in time, I would have fallen to the ground.
The current released by an automatic mechanical lock.
As soon as I make a big move, I'm punished by the current.
But I don't regret punching him. Listen to what he said, how nice it was, my dear mother, who was brought here rudely to separate from my loved ones at a time when I still needed her care, and this is what is called an invitation? It's a hooligan-style snatch!
Ben was silent for a few seconds, slowly raised his hand to wipe the blood from his mouth, and squatted down. He picked up his glasses and put them on, as if nothing had happened: "I want you to use these energies on reality rather than meaningless venting your anger." ”
"You're wrong, I'm not venting," Ben's calmness surprised me a little, I put away my fist, took a few deep breaths to relieve the numbness in my body, and sneered, "I just wanted to test if this automatic mechanical lock is not secure." ”
Ben straightened his glasses and said: "Mr. Eddie, although we have used a little uncivilized means, your mother is doing well here, but we are not allowed to see your family in order to let your mother concentrate on the practice." Now we have brought you here to meet you mother and son, and we hope that you will be a good breeder like your mother. ”
"I'm not interested in your truth." To be honest, I'd rather punch them in the face than a real yàn.
"Please don't say that, if the merfolk succeed and the merfolk leave the island of Cizerya, you will be free from the fate of being sacrificed, and the government will also promise us that it will treat you Gosai people preferentially."
"The future is up to us to fight for, not for charity from others." I looked at him coldly, "When your people trample on our territory and make our people fall victim to your flattering merfolk race, it is doomed that we will not cooperate. ”
"Mr. Sals," Ben pushed his glasses down, his voice a little colder, "I wonder if you've misunderstood something, it's you who have to work with us now, not us begging you to work with us, you don't have any choice." ”
"If you want to threaten me with my mother, then I advise you not to waste your time, my mother is not here...... As for my friend, I have many ways to get him out. ”
"It's not a good thing to be too confident in yourself." Ben's lenses refracted a strange light, and he took out a black cloth covering his eyes, examined it carefully, and handed it to me, "Put it on, and I'll take you somewhere." ”
"Where to go?"
"Go see your mother."
When I stopped and took off the blindfold, I noticed that I had come to a real yàn section with the letter "A" marked on the wall.
There are chilling cold tones, the walls and floors of the entire department are made gray-white to symbolize death, the overalls and the utensils are all white, and only the flame on the alcohol lamp barely adds a hint of warmth to the place.
"Your aesthetics are pretty bad." I mocked, "So you're going to sue me that my mother is here?" ”
"White is the color of holiness, just as our purpose is, for the sake of a holy future, for the sacred liberation of the race......" Ben paused, probably seeing the disdain in my eyes, and he smiled and pushed his glasses, "I have asked Cherson for a change, but unfortunately, he did not adopt it." As for your mother, she is clearly not here. ”
I did not continue this topic. The staff of the real yàn department are busy with their heads down, even if there is a lot of movement when we come in, no one looks up at us, they are like humanoid machines, working numbly, and carrying out the real yàn with a blank face.
I saw a rabbit on the left-hand side of the platform, which looked to have just been born, and still had unfading fetal hair on its body, and its blank eyes were full of curiosity. What a cute little thing, and I don't know what it has been transformed into, I can't help but get closer......
"Hiss-" A forked green tongue popped out of the rabbit's mouth.
I immediately reflexively took a few steps back, but unexpectedly, the green, foul-smelling gooey saliva dripped from its mouth, and the green bubbles quickly tumbled on the platform, emitting a burnt stench, and then it fell to the ground like a burning candle melting.
The staff immediately grabbed the rabbit and sprayed a blue liquid at the melted part of the platform, the melting stopped, and the part that had not completely melted condensed into a waxy solid, like a crumbling ice cube, of course, this thing was much more disgusting than the ice cube.
"I think I forgot to warn you that any real yàn body here is quite dangerous, even a non-threatening-looking rabbit - as you can see, it has extremely corrosive abilities. But in fact, this is just the lowest type of modifier. Ben's voice sounded a little gloating.
I squinted at Ben, "If the government knew that you were going to go to such a place at your expense," I pointed to the real platform, which had lost its use because it was missing, "and they would have been pleased." ”
Ben smiled stiffly and said dryly, "Mr. Eddie is such a humorous person. He didn't say anything more, he continued to walk forward, and when he reached a corner, he swiped through the guò sensor and entered another area. With the press of the switch, the incandescent light flickered a few times and then lit up, revealing a completely separate real room in front of me. At the same time, a strong smell of blood came to my nose, and I accidentally inhaled it, and I was so disgusted that I almost vomited.
Ben handed me a handkerchief: "I think you need it now." ”
I took the handkerchief and immediately covered my mouth and nose, took a sip of the fragrance on the handkerchief, and barely recovered from the extreme vomiting: "It seems that you have problems not only with aesthetics, but also with your sense of smell. ”。
Ben only smiled, but did not speak.
The area of this room is very large, almost one-fifth of the total area of the Leysin Institute, but it is a bit crowded because it is occupied by various large real yàn instruments.
In the center of the room is a rather large sink, multiplying the area of an ordinary sink by ten times, which is about its total area. However, the tank was not stocked with any living creatures, nor was it filled with clean water, and it even seemed that the walls of the tank were covered with a thick layer of dust because it had not been used for a long time.
Not only the sinks, but also the various large instruments here, although there are signs of human cleaning, do not change their long-unused nature - yellowed bodies and rusted parts. If I'm not mistaken, these are old instruments from many years ago, long out of print, and more advanced instruments than them were produced a decade ago and completely replaced them.
"A real yàn room that has been abandoned for many years?" I frowned in displeasure, I didn't like to go around in circles, there was obviously no place for my mother.
"It's not just a simple room, it's a story about your mother. Please don't worry, when I finish telling this story, I will naturally tell you where your mother is. See the portrait hanging on the wall, that's the protagonist of the story? ”
I followed Ben's finger and saw a large portrait hanging from the wall come into view.
