Chapter 2: His Origins
"You go and tell the Minister of Scientific Research that the project of developing and tracking mermaids will never be allowed to pass the review!"
"Yes. www.biquge.info The old man then walked out of the mermaid arena.
"Haha!Jack!With me one day, you won't be able to pass the subject of mermaids!" Martha smirked, "Although mermaids exist, research and development of their cells and gene chains, whether it is the exploration of the deep sea center or the new biomedical use, but if you don't surrender to me for a day, you don't like me, I will make you suffer for a day, like your legendary mad mother, you will never be able to pursue your dreams!!"
After the sound of "jingling", the smell of wine is fragrant and smoky.
"Is it still whiskey?, and is Jack in a bad mood today?" the gray-haired old man looked at Jack with a loving smile.
Before Jack could reply, several young men ran into the tavern laughing, stood in front of the old man, and shouted in unison, "Hey!
"Hey, kids!" the old man nodded again and again, his eyes full of satisfaction, "Old rules! Daddy, please drink soda! You can't drink alcohol if you're not too old!"
"Got it!"
"Got it, Daddy David, but we can work and make money now!"
"If you make money, daddy, please have a drink!Go boys!" The old man smiled lovingly and shouted to the old man at the other counter, "Old man!
"Okay!" the old man nodded and skillfully poured drinks for the children.
"Oh!
"Awesome!"
"Daddy David is amazing!"
The children cheered and sat down at the round table beside them.
"Jack, why are you stunned?" Seeing Jack's slightly dull gaze, David lightly punched Jack.
"Daddy David, I respect you!" Jack got up and took out a glass from the wine cabinet, filled it and handed it to David.
"Did you encounter something today?" tell Daddy David!" David took the glass, but instead of drinking, he looked at Jack anxiously.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry about me! Just looking at these kids, I remembered when I was a kid. Jack's eyes moistened as he looked at David's father.
"I'm sorry for your mother, Jack, you're an excellent child! I think your mother would be very happy to see that her love for science has influenced you, and to see you become the leading scientist in the country!" David couldn't help but sigh and looked at Jack in front of him distressedly.
"Daddy, if you hadn't taken care of me, if you hadn't been for your company and guidance, if Jack had only grown up in an orphanage, he would have been immersed in the grief of losing his mother! ”
"Jack, you haven't disappointed Daddy David, you're a good boy! You're now able to be independent, and you're a useful person for the country, and you're finally worthy of your mother. Daddy David couldn't help but have moist eyes, but his expression flickered slightly.
"Daddy, have you ever met my mother, or do you know her?" Jack finally asked what he had been wanting to ask.
"I don't know your mother, but she was crazy and told people everywhere that she had seen a live mermaid, which was very pitiful. David seemed to be caught up in some kind of memory, his expression darkened, and his wrinkled face seemed to be as vicissitudes as the memories of the past.
"My memories of my mother are just being taken around in hiding, and I often hear people say that a madman is a fool, and I think that's probably the truest portrayal of the beginning. "I think my poor mother must have been laughed at all the time, she suffered from madness, and later she would only say that she had seen a mermaid alive." ”
"That's why you've been trying to figure out if there are any living merfolk in this world, and if there are any such creatures. David looked at Jack and couldn't bear it, "Your mother used to be famous, and she was very persistent in science, especially advanced intelligent creatures. ”
"Daddy David, do you hear anything about my mother?" asked Jack tentatively, "since my mother is so obsessed with unknown mysterious creatures, how can she go crazy if she really sees a mermaid?"
"This, I just heard that she was excited about what she saw at first, and wanted to get financial support from the state, and continue to track and study mermaid-related, such as medicinal and scientific research sea pressure, including the **** gene chain. ”
"Daddy David, actually, ......" Looking around, Jack lowered his voice, "I was packing up my mother's relics a while ago, and I saw a few notes mentioning my mother's speculation...... In ancient evolution, apes were divided into two types, one was the ape that slowly came to live on land, that is, humans, and the other was the sea ape that entered the sea, that is, the mermaid. ”
This explains the news events in these newspapers, you see here, about a girl who took a bath three times a day and had scales on her body, which was due to constant contact with water, and the human body reacted to a certain extent...... You see, and here, this news story is about dolphins that have not been domesticated to be able to fish with fishermen, and then the fishermen share their food. Jack pulled out a few old newspapers from his coat pocket and observed David's expression.
"This ...... These ......" David couldn't help but look deeply at Jack, this child, still with his mother, not only has a strong interest in unknown creatures, but also has a scientific talent, careful and persistent quality.
"Dad's David......" Jack opened his mouth, but swallowed the words, he sometimes felt that David was very much like his father, gave him the fatherly love and warmth that he had been missing since childhood, and sometimes he even guessed that David knew his deceased mother.
Whether it was this test of David's attention to science, as before, David obviously had a strong interest in the legend of the mermaid, or the countless times in the past that he had challenged David's limits, smashed his wine glass like a naughty child, smashed his iron locks, caused him to be stolen from good wine several times overnight, and lost a lot of money, David's performance made his eyes wet.
David is like a father to Jack, who lost his mother when he was a child, and his own biological father, Jack has never seen, and he, like most children who have lost their fathers, has fantasized about his father countless times, and cried countless times in the silent night.
"I had to go first, and I often felt like someone was following me lately. Jack raised his glass to Daddy David, and drank it down.
"Jack!" David made a left hook to Jack as he left the tavern, "Don't forget what I taught you!"
"Thank you, Daddy!" Seeing the worry in David's loving eyes, Jack nodded slightly to him.
Leaving the tavern and encountering a drizzle, the smell of spring flowers and plants rushed in, and Jack walked briskly through the streets near the tavern.
"It's him, keep up. In the distance, several men in black followed, closely following Jack's footsteps.
