Chapter 52

The glass room was not soundproofed, so Laurie’s voice entered Boyce and Matthew’s ears, and Matthew was taken aback by Laurie’s actions.

Matthew looked at Boyce, only to find that he moved closer to the glass instead.

“What are you looking at?” Matthew asked him.

Boyce looked carefully at the face in front of him. Now it was flat again, but Laurie seemed to have had a different face.

The newly replaced face was somewhat familiar, and Matthew looked at Boyce for a while, then stared at Laurie with some doubts.

After a while, he looked at Boyce in shock.

“s-37?!”

Boyce nodded, Laurie’s face now looks like it was synthesized after combining the facial features of Garcia and Laurie, but there are more parts belonging to Garcia.

“How could this be?” Matthew was a little shocked.

Originally, they thought that z-III would at most transform human beings towards the characteristics of the mermaid race, but they did not expect Laurie to change towards Garcia.

Boyce looked at Laurie in the glass room.

He seems to have completed the transformation in a very short period of time now, and even his hair is a little blue under the light.

What is the connection between Laurie and Garcia now?

Laurie seems to have lost all thought of being a human now, staring at Boyce, repeating “transformation” and “childbirth”.

“Can he get better like this?” Matthew looked at Boyce, hardly holding out much hope.

Laurie’s stable period some time ago seemed to be a return to light, and the change came unexpectedly.

Matthew sighed: “Stay away from him.”

“Collins just got too close to him and got caught by him.”

“He probably took the closest person he saw as a courtship.” This conclusion was inferred from Laurie’s words of “bringing offspring” and “having children”.

Boyce, however, knew that the facts should be different from what Matthew had suggested.

“sofia?” Matthew repeated the word, “It sounds like a person’s name, does it have any special meaning?”

…

Originally, the institute was still waiting for the faint hope that Laurie could wake up, but he did not expect that on the third morning, Laurie lost signs of life.

When he died, he was curled up, with his legs together, and the scaly skin was scattered around him. Later, the fingernails and the webs connecting the fingers seemed to fall off naturally and were scattered around his body.

Boyce and the others checked Laurie’s physical data and found that he was almost back to what he was before the z-III injection.

According to the time, this day was the last day of the time limit for the complete disappearance of the Z-III drug on Laurie that Boyce and the others had calculated.

According to the initial guess, he will return to the appearance before the transformation after the effect of the medicine wears off, but no one thought that death would come at the same time.

After Laurie passed away, a researcher in Boyce’s laboratory was a little embarrassed. Originally, he said that he was going to leave the institute, and everything he wanted to do was planned…

After Lowry’s death, it should be Collins who was most affected.

It was also a coincidence that he went to Boyce’s laboratory that day, and was taken as a hostage by Laurie and repeated in his ear that he would continue to breed offspring for himself.

Collins fell ill the next day from a fright, and when he recovered a little, he heard the news of Laurie’s death.

The investors seem to be busy recently, so Collins can only stay in the research institute to recover from his illness before going back.

Therefore, the people who are familiar with the institute and Collins have been told to chat with the young master if they have time, and explain him.

Boyce naturally received it.

Hobbes was there when he went.

Collins glanced at Boyce and asked him to sit next to him, then looked at Hobbs and motioned him to continue speaking.

“You were frightened before, but it’s all right now,” said Hobbs. “Laurie is dead, and no one can hurt you…”

Listening to his words, Collins frowned, then looked at Boyce: “I want to have a private conversation with Boyce, you go first.”

Hobbs glanced at Boyce, and although he was a little unwilling, he left resignedly.

“Laurie is dead…” Collins can still recall the touch of a fingernail piercing his neck and blood running down his skin.

“He said a few days ago that I would come and see me later.” Collins looked a little dazed. It was the first time he saw this kind of death in the institute, and Collins still didn’t react.

He looked very sad about Laurie’s death, which made Boyce feel a little surprised. After all, after leaving Laurie that day, Collins was really frightened by him. When Laurie was still in the glass room, he often Couldn’t help but scold.

But he didn’t ask anything. Collins wanted to find someone to listen to. Compared with others, he felt that Boyce, who was more familiar with him, was a good candidate.

“Laurie is not the same monster as that day…”

Collins insists on that.

“Laurie is a human being, one of our kind.”

“But it was just a monster that day!” Collins’ voice sounded a little excited. He later asked Hobbs to find Laurie’s surveillance in the glass room for himself. He had seen Laurie’s behavior different from humans in the glass room. manner.

“The one in the back is also a monster!”

Collins remembered Laurie after the lab changes, and some of his body still trembled: “Laurie died in the lab that day…”

Collins had seen a lot of movies before, and he remembered a famous movie he had seen before.

“Have you watched Infection?”

It was a popular movie in Boyce’s teenage years, and Boyce, of course, had seen it.

By infecting humans, alien creatures use humans as hosts. Humans are transformed unknowingly. When all conditions are met, they will become another body of infected aliens.

“Tread killed the person who originally existed, and then took possession of the body.” Collins defined Laurie’s change as such.

“You’ve been working on something this scary before,” Collins said.

…

The research on z-III was ultimately terminated by Collins’ strong resistance and persuaded investors to put pressure on it. Even the data was required to be destroyed by Collins.

However, at the insistence of Professor Cyril, the investors finally agreed that the institute would not study z-III again, but the relevant information must be preserved, but it would not be easily read.

At the end of the matter, Professor Cyril asked Boyce and the others to hand in a summary of the past, which was sealed together with the data of Z-III.

The summary finally fell on Boyce, and when writing the summary, Boyce thought of Collins’ words again.

Although it may sound absurd and unbelievable, it does seem to make sense when it comes to Laurie.

The person locked in the glass room has almost completely lost the consciousness of belonging to Laurie. The more he recalls, Boyce feels that his behavior is more inclined to Garcia’s behavior when he first met.

It’s just because the transformation is not complete, he looks like a mermaid who relies more on instinct.

Or rather, the more instinctive Garcia.

Convert…

When Boyce went to see Laurie, he heard him mention the word many times, and he associated it with “bringing offspring.”

Garcia had also mentioned “transformation” to Boyce before, Boyce could feel that he was very enthusiastic about the transformation.

Boyce was a little hesitant. The transformation that Garcia said would make human beings become another mermaid without a fish tail?

For mermaids, does sofia only have the meaning of the body and the birth of offspring?

Through transformation, the human body can be transformed into a suitable mother body, and the original human mind can be erased and replaced by the adult fish’s mind, so as to reproduce?

If so, can the transformed person still be the original person?

…

“Do mermen transform their mates?” Boyce asked Garcia. Although Boyce kept telling himself in his heart that he would not allow Garcia to be transformed, Boyce couldn’t help but inquire about the transformation from Garcia.

“meeting.”

“Does it have to be transformed? Why?”

“You can stay with me longer after the transformation, okay?” Garcia wondered. “I’ve seen it in the movies of human beings, and I said that I hope I can stay with my partner for a longer time.”

Beyond that, Garcia said, “Only after transformation can you produce offspring.”

“I’m a man.” Boyce looked at him seriously. “Men don’t get pregnant and don’t have offspring.”

“I know.” Although mermaids can impregnate humans, they haven’t reached the point of impregnating men.

“Do you want to have offspring?” Boyce asked. After saying the words, Boyce felt that he was probably superfluous, and Laurie, who was more inclined to Garcia’s instinct, kept repeating “bringing offspring”.

Garcia was at a loss because of Boyce’s question.

Want to have offspring?

Garcia doesn’t know, he only knows that he doesn’t like cubs, but instinctively desires to have offspring with his partner

“I don’t know…” Garcia looked at Boyce and shook his head.

Finding a partner and having offspring are two things Garcia has been pursuing before he met Boyce. Although he later found that Boyce was a man and was infertile, it did not prevent him from expecting his partner to conceive a child. own descendants.

“Would you want a partner who would have offspring for you?”

“I just want you.” Garcia realized something from Boyce’s tone and assured Boyce.

It suddenly dawned on Garcia that Boyce seemed to be concerned about the behavior of his obedience to his instincts.

Garcia tried to prove to Boyce that he was not completely dominated by instinct, and then he remembered Collins who had been shaking in front of him some time ago.

More than once he sensed the breath of his partner in Collins.

“But I don’t like him.” Garcia is always used to the word “like”.

“Because he’s not you.” Even though his instinct was telling him that that person was his partner, Garcia was reluctant to approach.

He did let his instincts rule in the past, but when instinct went against Beyce, Garcia now chooses Beyce.

The author has something to say: I suddenly discovered that the first two chapters have already reached 5,000! Three thousand is enough for eight thousand in this chapter!

(Actually, I scared myself when I wrote the first part of this chapter (つд?)

Good night~ It’s gone now
