The Fallen Merman

"Let go of me, let me go." Lu Yanfei kicked Bai Chunian's waist and eye, and Bai Chunian released his hand before he had time to hold back his kick.

"Young master, look at me." Bai Chunian leaned over to show him the top of his head with his knees supported, and lion ears moved from his hair, "I don't look like your family."

"It doesn't have to be my own." Lu Yan held his chin in thought, and suddenly widened his eyes, "Lion... Could it be Uncle Xia..."

Bai Chunian grabbed the two pieces of flesh on his face with both hands and said, "You are sick, they are not of the same breed. Is the American golden cat the same thing as a purebred white lion... No, I don't look down on it. What the major meant, I just wanted to say that you are a little idiot."

"Then how do you say this?" Lu Yan took out the recorder from his trouser pocket and pressed play in front of Bai Chunian.

Uncle Jin's voice came from the loudspeaker: "Look, your son was beaten by a fish."

Seeing that Bai Chunian didn't respond, Lu Yan played it again.

"Look, your son was beaten by a fish."

The air in the office suddenly became quiet, the recording was played twice, and even Rimbaud could understand it.

Rimbaud reclined on the sofa, put his head on his head and smiled lukely: "I beat him, what does he want?"

Lu Yan looked at Bai Chunian with burning eyes, waiting for him to answer.

"It's just a casual remark, you don't have to take it to heart." Bai Chunian raised his hand, tried to take the recording pen several times, but lowered it, "I was picked up by Uncle Jin from the underground boxing ring. "

"I forgot how many games I've played, but I only remember that the last opponent was a brown bear experiment. Maybe the rich boss bought it as a pastime. It's not impossible, but I haven't had water for two days, and I'm a little tired. ...Uncle Jin called my name and took me away, and the president sent me to the doctor to treat my injuries."

Lu Yan looked up at him suspiciously. He couldn't imagine what Bai Chunian described as a dirty boxing arena. He could only guess from his barren experience that it was a large room like the Aphid Island Fighting Classroom. black wall.

"Have you not seen it?" Bai Chunian put his hands in his pockets and looked down at him relaxedly, "If you lost the last match, the stubble was still stuck out of your thighs and stomach, and some of them were still breathing. It was directly swept into the corner by the table sweeper with a broom, and usually no one came to pick it up. When it was over, it was thrown into the incinerator and burned. The audience below all wore masks. The scene was even crazier than the concert. We were like stars. , the spotlight is shining on us, and it is hot and roasted. You stand on it and your mind is blank, you can't feel the pain or tiredness, and the only strongest wish is to end quickly and go to the toilet faucet to drink ice water. "

"..." Lu Yan touched his elbow awkwardly.

"I work here just to repay them. I have never tried to integrate into your family, and I will not rob you of anything. Don't think too much about me."

Lu Yan stood in a daze for a long time, he never thought about it so much, but just wanted to ask things clearly, but now he suddenly forgot what to say.

"You, you, I didn't come to divide the family property with you." Lu Yan turned his head and muttered softly, "It's hard to be a big brother."

"Anyway, I don't have a blood relationship with you. Even if there is, you can't be the boss." Bai Chunian spread his hand towards him, "Students are not allowed to bring recording equipment during non-mission periods, and hand them over."

"Hey, here." Lu Yan took it out of his pocket unconvinced, took the recording pen into Bai Chunian's hand, turned around and ran away, saying, "I'm going upstairs!"

Bai Chunian weighed the recording pen, put it in his pocket, and sat back next to Rimbaud.

Rimbaud put his hand on his shoulder, squeezed the bone socket in his shoulder, leaned close to him, and rubbed his nose lightly on his cheek: "You look very happy."

"No."

Rimbaud took the recorder out of his pocket and twirled it a few times between his fingers.

Bai Chunian's eyes were subconsciously drawn to the voice recorder on Lan Bo's fingertips.

Rimbaud looked at his eyes and put one end of the recorder into his mouth.

"Don't make trouble." Bai Chunian suddenly grabbed his wrist, grabbed the recorder, and stuffed it back into his pocket.

"I'll go to the laboratory first, you wait for me here." Bai Chunian got up and went out the door. Lan Bo didn't follow him, just leaned against the door and watched his back.

Bai Chunian lowered his head as he walked, pressed the play button of the recorder, and put the small speaker to his ear to listen.

Then I played it again, and it seemed that I couldn't hear it enough, until the power of the recorder was too low, and a hissing noise began to appear.

"What are you looking at?"

Lan Bo was startled, Doctor Han had been standing beside him for an unknown time.

"It wasn't me who saved him, I'm a failure." Lan Bo stared at the corner where Bai Chunian's figure disappeared, and replied with a blank face, "He relies on people other than me."

Han Xingqian saw that his fish tail slowly turned irritable red, and the tip of the tail swung back and forth anxiously.

"He hasn't recovered to his heyday since he returned from the training base in Hongli City, and he is very worried. He was afraid that the president would blame him for that incident, but now the headquarters has been attacked and injured inexplicably. I will doubt my ability to work." Han Xingqian said.

"You think you know him better than I do?"

"I don't dare to understand. In addition to daily observation and psychological counseling, my companion ability, holy beast wandering, can interpret his thoughts."

"All right."

"If you want to help him, let him relax."

"How to do it."

"Well... lick him more."

"A few times."

"? I said stroking."

"Oh."

About ten minutes later, Bai Chunian came back from the laboratory with an inspection report, and went back to the office to sit on the sofa and read it carefully.

Rimbaud curled up on the back of the sofa and gently rubbed Bai Chunian's hair.

"Wait, wife, I'll finish reading it." Bai Chunian grabbed one of Lan Bo's hands to hold it in place, but Lan Bo's other hand touched his chest again and reached out to rub it on his stomach.

Bai Chunian slowly nestled into the sofa cushion, and was rubbed very comfortably. There was a small snoring sound in his chest, and his tense back stretched out.

Suddenly, Bai Chunian heard the rustling of writing, opened his eyes, saw Han Xingqian sitting in a chair not far away, pushed up his glasses, and wrote on the notepad: "Effective and quick comfort for feline experimental subjects. Means: stroking the abdomen. Test result: effective."

"Emotional factors have to be ruled out." Dr. Han stood up and put on latex gloves, "I'll touch it."

"????" Bai Chunian stared at him to keep him at arm's length.

"By the way, there is a note hidden in the interlayer of the ampoule you gave me." Dr. Han took out a transparent ziplock bag from his pocket, and inside it was a written note.

But the handwriting is so scrawled that there are only a few squiggles.

"What does it say?"

"The scientific name of the main raw materials of NU nutritional medicine. It seems that the puppet master and I are in the same industry, and he understands this very well. Most of the raw materials in this are prohibited substances, some are hormones, and some need to be transported from the place of origin. It is not easy to go through customs, and it requires an experienced transportation team, which used to be a red-throated bird. After the red-throated bird fell apart, the institute now employs a family of greyhounds."

"Nutritional medicine is a drug that promotes the development of the experimental body's combat ability. In fact, my research shows that the experimental body can fully support the growth of the body by eating human food or other organic and inorganic substances. Unless there is nothing to eat, the experimental body itself does not swallow human beings. Or the desire for cannibalism, if you don't need the experimental subject as a weapon, there is no point in injecting nutritional medicine."

"Is this an invitation to cooperate with a puppet master?" Bai Chunian crossed his legs and thought, "I just caused such a mess in the city, and there is no way to cooperate."

"I haven't figured out the purpose of the puppet masters, but one thing I can confirm is that if they want the experimental body, even if they take the risk to enter the IOA headquarters, they have to **** it, so they have to help them." Bai Chunian turned on the computer, I wrote an email based on the inspection report and the list of ingredients given by Dr. Han.

Yan Yi was sitting at the desk when he received a task application email from Bai Chunian.

"Hey, where did my darling go after I answered the phone?" Lu Shangjin came back from the pantry, sat on the sofa, and couldn't find Lu Yan anywhere.

"Brother Jin, help me take a look." Yan Yi raised his head and said.

"Um?"

Yan Yi turned the computer to him: "Have you seen the ingredients he said."

"I've never heard of it." Lu Shangjin's eyesight is very strong, and even sitting on the sofa, he can clearly read the small characters on the display screen in the distance.

"You don't need to be so troublesome." Lu Shangjin put his arm on the back of the leather sofa, "I have seen their financial statements a long time ago, because the reputation has been damaged, the stock price has dropped, the raw material transportation team has been changed, many investors have withdrawn their capital, and the experimental body of the research institute has The production is already being cut, and the delay in lowering the price and selling it is nothing more than holding on to this property right, wanting to wait for the wind and waves to stabilize and make a comeback.”

"However, the difference between the experimental body and the commodity is that the maintenance cost is extremely high. They need the nutritional medicine that Xiaobai said to maintain their lives. In addition, manpower, electricity, and equipment all require money. Once the experimental volume is compressed It would exponentially drain the institute’s funds.”

"Now various national organizations are doubting the reliability of the experimental body and the reputation of the research institute, so the number of experimental bodies purchased has been greatly reduced. The biggest source of funds for the research institute must be the after-sales products related to the experimental body, which are the same Expensive assortment of maintenance agents."

"He listed five agents on the table, AC accelerator, HD lateral development agent, SH shielding agent, IN infection agent, and this NU nutritional agent. I took a brief look at it. The ingredients are very complicated and there are many raw materials. I don't know. Understand medicine, but literally, there is something called tannin, which is the common ingredient of these five medicines."

Yan Yi looked at him and listened quietly.

Lu Shangjin took out his mobile phone and explained that the assistant contacted a newly cooperated medical device company in the name of the shell company.

Yan Yi raised his eyebrows: "Ai Lian is not stupid."

"Indeed, it is not easy to develop an emerging organism like an experimental body into an industrial chain." Lu Shangjin put down his mobile phone after a brief explanation, "but if the 109 Research Institute is my industry, it will not fail to this extent, even if Your opponent is you. You can't be a businessman if you're not stupid."
