Chapter 21

Boyce dreamed of s-19 again.

The salty and moist breath permeated the whole body, and the distance of the red-tailed mermaid was closer than last time, Boyce was finally able to see the dark shadow behind it.

It looked more like a puppet, with its head hanging down between S-19’s neck, and the short blond hair softly pressed against the scalp, covering most of his face. Boyce always felt that the exposed half of his face had brows and eyes. Some familiar.

“You’re going to die…”

Boyce heard it repeat in his dream again.

After feeding S-37, Boyce went to S-24’s rearing room.

Speaking of which, the breeding room where S-24 is staying is still somewhat related to S-37. Before these two mermaids, the two breeding rooms originally housed two mermaids, one male and one male. The research institute once wanted these two to have sex. / Breeding, so the channel between the two breeding rooms is opened.

However, the two merman were not as they wished. After the original two merman died in the experiment, the passage of the two breeding rooms was blocked.

Although the S-24 had never attacked a breeder before, Boyce was inexplicably disturbed.

After Boyce entered the breeding room, s-24 quickly surfaced on the water, and his gaze fell on Boyce unabashedly, with a scrutiny.

Boyce threw the last piece of fish into the pool, straightened up and prepared to leave, S-24’s eyes gradually filled with malice, which made him a little uncomfortable.

Just as Boyce turned around, the mermaid who had been in the pool suddenly moved, and the bruised wrist that S-37 held last night was firmly grasped, which was different from S-37’s accident last night. 24 with a force that almost crushed bones, at the same time, its other paw quickly reached Boyce’s neck.

Boyce subconsciously pulled out the anesthesia needle from his pocket and stabbed it at it.

The mermaid gradually loosened its strength, and released its five fingers, leaving a circle of finger marks around Boyce’s neck.

Its toxin-laden nails were well tucked away, and Boyce realized that it was now acting more like a threat than killing himself.

Boyce rose from the ground, and the merman raised his eyes.

“I really want to kill you…” There was a hint of regret in its tone.

—

S-37 smelled the breath of other merman on Boyce, belonged to the merman next door, and occasionally could sense the breath of that merman when changing the water in the research institute.

Its eyes swept inch by inch on the human body,

Finally, it landed on the little red that showed between Boyce’s neck.

Another merman intimidates his favorite mate, knowing he exists.

The offended merfolk spread his fins, because Boyce knew what he really looked like, and didn’t hide it, with obvious anger.

But thinking that Boyce hadn’t calmed down, he could only swim a few times in the pool angrily, and finally stopped a few meters away from Boyce.

Boyce looked at it and thought that it looked more angry than his client.

It seemed to be provoked, and its restless tail cut through the water, making a “crashing” sound. Boyce felt that it was like a beast whose territory had been violated, ready to fight someone at any time.

After meeting Boyce’s gaze, its movements became smaller, and its attention was still on Boyce’s neck.

Boyce found something wrong with the S-37 when he went to the breeding room at night.

There was a blood mark on its face, which looked very fresh. It should have been drawn not long ago. The scales on its body were also bald, and there were some bruises on its upper body.

Seeing Boyce walk in, it subconsciously reached out and plucked his hair, Boyce followed its movements and saw the blue hair scattered with the water.

“Sofia…”

The mermaid stopped not far from the lift platform and looked at Boyce questioningly.

Boyce frowned and beckoned to it: “Come here.”

As the merman got closer, Boyce could see a sudden sparse patch above its head.

Before Boyce began to ask about it, the mermaid held out a handful of cyan scales and handed it to him as if asking for credit.

Boyce looked at the familiar scales, which he had seen on S-24 this morning, and remembered the S-24 that didn’t show up when he went to feed at noon.

“You went to fight?”

Boyce had only this guess.

S-37 nodded.

The passage leading to the s-24 pool The two merman knew of its existence, but they tacitly did not go to another merman’s pool through this passage in the past.

But because the s-24 attacked Boyce, the s-37 took the initiative to break this tacit understanding.

Boyce took the scales on his hand and touched the wound on his face for the first time, a trace of wet blood stained on his fingertips, with a faint fishy smell.

And the mermaid’s eyes were still hot, as if Boyce was a precious and extremely important existence in its heart.

Boyce was scalded by its gaze, and a flash of emotion quickly flashed in his heart, which dissipated before he could catch it.

“Because of me?”

Boyce had a guess that sounded almost impossible, but aside from that guess, he couldn’t seem to think of any reason for the S-37 and S-24 to intersect.

“Yes.”

Companion and territory are the inviolable parts of every mermaid that are engraved in their instincts.

“Does it hurt?”

The merman looked up at Boyce, his eyes lowered, and his hand fell on the wound made by another merman.

Having learned the lessons from the previous few times, the mermaid did not deliberately sell miserably, and shook his head towards Boyce. Compared with himself, the appearance of S-24 was even worse.

It looked at the bruises on Boyce’s neck, and after a day it looked worse.

The mermaid stretched out a hand and landed on his neck, Boyce’s body froze and did not retreat.

s-37 has been paying attention to his expression, and whenever there is a hint of resistance on his face, it will withdraw its tentative hand, like every attempt to pull the distance between them.

It taught the provocateurs who offended its partner, and as the victor of the two mermen, it thought it deserved a reward.

With a coolness, the claws belonging to beasts finally landed on the human skin. Boyce was shocked by the coldness on his neck, and almost instinctively wanted to step back.

but…

Boyce met a pair of golden pupils, which seemed to be delighted by the intimacy of the two. Under that layer of pleasure, there was something hotter.

As if bewitched, Boyce relaxed.

There’s a gut feeling in your heart that it won’t hurt you…

The breath belonging to the other mermaid has disappeared, but the traces it left are still there. The mermaid unconsciously used some strength to cover the new traces on it, which made humans frown again.

Boyce seemed to suddenly come to his senses and pulled the merman’s hand away.

S-37 obediently followed his movements and lowered his paws.

When Boyce left, the voice of a mermaid suddenly sounded behind him.

“Sofia.”

Its voice was like an inquiry, but also like an affirmation: “Even if you meet other mermaids in the future, I will be different.”

It looked at Boyce’s back, and thought again about the question he asked last time.

Why on earth is its Sofia angry because of its previous behavior?

It didn’t want its Sofia to be near another merman, and desperately wanted to bring him back, in its own lair, only tainted with its own breath from the inside out.

The golden pupils are filled with a desire for exclusiveness that no human has ever seen.

S-37 thought, all he needs is one merman.
