under hope

Among the deep and bright stars, handsome elves are wandering in the ocean of knowledge. He dances, He sings joyful songs

"A rustling sound sounded, and a line of text was written on the newly delivered book.

——"Too much knowledge can lead to madness, but stupidity can lead to safety"

……

On the day of the burial at sea, the doctor chose to stay in the institute to accompany the mermaids. He lay on the huge double bed and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

The mermaids all slept on the water bed. Maybe they were too tired and fell asleep quickly.

"Hongchang will definitely continue to clone, and I can no longer stop him."

The doctor is still thinking about what happened in the communication room today.

"As long as he doesn't follow evil ways, and as long as he doesn't do research that violates ethics, I can still help him."

Since the establishment of the club in the university, he has been playing the role of"strategist". Young Lin Hongchang acted decisively and regardless of the consequences.

In order to avoid trouble, many things had to be done after his consideration.

He did not He has great ambitions like Hongchang, but he has been silently supporting Hongchang's dream. After establishing the Academy of Sciences, his idea was just to do what he likes. Getting along with these mermaids allowed him to find his goals, and it also made him boring. His life became more interesting, and he felt the same way when he was Shu Tong's teacher.

Maybe he was just like what was said on the Internet, he just lacked company.

What about Hongchang? After Hongchang became the dean , he no longer bothers with many things, but has more thoughts of his own.

Hongchang is making progress, and he is indeed more stable than when he was young. After all, he is the dean of the Academy of Sciences.

When did he start What about becoming boring? Before the establishment of the Academy of Sciences, they were inseparable, and his advice was indispensable for every move.

Life was indeed interesting at that time, and the joining of junior girls and senior sisters also made the club more joyful.

But now? What about everyone? They all went their separate ways, each with their own jobs. The lively school girl also left forever, and Hongchang... no longer relied on himself as before.

Hongchang was the leader of the Academy of Sciences, and the school girl was the leader of the biochemistry department. It seems like I am the only one without a definite job now

"Everyone is moving forward, but I choose to stand still. Could it be that my boring life is due to my own choice?"

The doctor was full of emotions. He was confused. Why did things develop like this? Why should he be responsible for taking care of the mermaid?

Maybe he just saw that he was too bored, so he gave himself the job of taking care of the mermaid?

In other words, Lin Hongchang originally He hoped that taking care of the mermaid would make his old friend's life more energetic, but he was nosy and began to obstruct Lin Hongchang's research on mermaids.

"Is that so? Am I taking too much care? But communication with gods is dangerous. I'm just... worried about Hongchang?"

The more the doctor thought about it, the more confused his thoughts became. He didn't know what he was going to do.

Just help Hongchang take care of the mermaid, or slowly turn against Hongchang and oppose Hongchang's plan to communicate with the gods..After all, why did he want to oppose Hongchang's plan?

Is it because he already likes taking care of the mermaids, and Hongchang's subsequent research direction has harmed the mermaids, so he wants to object?

Or is it because he listened to After Hongchang said such paranoid words, he felt that his old friend had gone astray, and he wanted to save him from dangerous thoughts.

Or maybe, he suddenly learned that gods are dangerous, and he didn't want to see his old friend be treated like that by the gods. Devastated.

The doctor couldn't understand. He couldn't figure out his true inner thoughts.

That night, he fell asleep tortured by thousands of thoughts.

The next day, he was woken up by subtle noises in the room. It might be that he thought about it last night. It was too much and he didn't fall into deep sleep.

The back of his head was still dizzy, and his eyes were burning like fire. The doctor sat up from the bed with difficulty. His eyelids always wanted to kiss each other intimately, he thought, His eyes must be bloodshot now.

In his hazy vision, the doctor seemed to see a young girl bowing to him repeatedly, seeming to say,"Sorry for waking you up.""

Looking at her panic, she must be the new nurse. Is she finally going to be transferred?

Thinking of this, the doctor became more awake. He got out of bed, patted the girl's shoulder solemnly and said:

"I leave it to you, they are not naughty, as long as they are careful"

"Huh? Ok...ok...ok...ok...ok."

Looking at the doctor at such a close distance, the girl blushed nervously and couldn't help but stutter when speaking.

"Sigh... This way I'm back to my boring normal state."

After giving the instructions, the doctor seemed to be missing something in his heart, and the motivation to stay awake disappeared in an instant.

"There's nothing to do anyway, so just let me catch up on some sleep..."

The doctor staggered toward the door, and the girl's voice seemed to come to his ears again.

"That...doctor! Why don't you take a rest first?……"

The girl's voice became weaker and weaker, and the doctor's limbs suddenly became weak and he fell backwards.

——"Oops, I sensed you, I didn’t expect it to be so fast."

Unfamiliar words came to mind, but for some reason, I knew its meaning.

——"Knowing too much is not a good thing, unless you are pretending to be stupid."

Pretending to be stupid? What are you pretending to be stupid? Knowing too much... Are you talking about the mermaid? Does it mean that I can know the secret, but I can't directly oppose Lin Hongchang?

"PhD! PhD!"

Xiao Lan's urgent voice gradually occupied the doctor's mind, and it overshadowed those strange and unfamiliar words.

As if unconvinced, those words appeared again at an extremely fast speed.

——"Is there anyone else who is thinking about you? That's fun, go get what you need to do."

After the doctor finished understanding everything, the words gradually exited his mind.

"Doctor, wake up! PhD!"

He felt the physical contact and there was a burning sensation on his face.

"Doctor, dead?"

"Freeze said! The doctor was just sleeping too deeply."

"Yes, the doctor was just sleeping too deeply."

Three voices with different tones lingered in his mind, which made the doctor who wanted to have a good rest unable to do so.

"Yes, we have to say goodbye."

As his cheeks felt strong heat again, the doctor finally opened his eyes.

"What are you doing?"

This was the first thing the doctor said after he opened his eyes, because he saw Xiaolan holding up her palm towards him with tears in her eyes.

"woke up! Doctor, you didn't even breathe!"

Countless hot tears fell on his face. Xiaolan complained and gently beat the doctor's chest with her fist-shaped hands.

"Doctor, wake up!"

Xiao Lu's happy expression also broke into his field of vision, as well as Xiao Huang's slender voice of relief:

"Great, the Doctor is awake."

Although he didn't know why he was not breathing, the doctor still had a smile on his face, and his farewell words had been roughly formed in his heart.

However, when he scanned the faces of each mermaid one by one, he found the new head nurse. She has strange ears.

They are the same fin-like ears as Xiaolan and the others. If you look closely, she has pink hair and gills under her armpits. The girl is wearing clothes and has almost no scales on her body. The gills were exposed, and the armpits were designed with large openings.

Seeing the doctor staring at her, the girl blushed shyly, and her eyes hid here and there unconsciously.

"Doctor, this is a new member, I think we can call him Xiaofen!"

Xiaolan wiped away her tears and introduced the doctor enthusiastically.

"I disagree! It's you who chooses it every time, but this time it's time for the doctor to choose his own name!"

Xiao Huang questioned Xiao Lan's insistence on going her own way.

"name? Xiaolu, I think it would be better to call her Fenfen."

Xiao Lu also joined in their quarrel, although she herself didn't know what the quarrel meant.

"New... member? Is she a mermaid too? But she doesn’t have a fish tail?"

With a sudden question, the doctor stood up and approached the girl.

"You...you...you...Hello, I am Individual No. 5. Please...take care of me."

The girl bowed awkwardly to the doctor. Her untied hair fell forward. When she straightened up, her hair was completely stuck on her face.

"Don't be so nervous."

The doctor helped the girl brush her hair away from her face, feeling a little relieved.

"It turned out that she was not the caregiver who replaced me."

But there is still a mystery about this girl. There seems to be some strange technological breakthrough in mermaid research. It is obvious that the recent Xiao Cheng still has a fish tail.

Look at the girl in front of you, she is almost as tall as the doctor. Breasts that are still in the development stage and feet with webbed feet?

After looking up and down, the doctor was surprised to find that the girl's feet had a web-like structure, but there were none on her hands.

"What exactly did Hongchang do? The results of this study are so strange."

The doctor has already had bad thoughts in his heart - this new mermaid is too similar to humans.

"Let's go for a physical examination first."

The doctor said with a frown.

"Ming...understand."

The girl still stuttered and seemed to be easily nervous.

The doctor took the mermaids to the physical examination room. The other three were still old figures, healthy and without any abnormalities. After the physical examination, they ran to the pool to play.

This time The focus is on the new member. After all, her appearance alone can bring the doctor questions that cannot be answered in a short time.

In order to check clearly in person, the doctor used a manual scanner.

The girl lay uneasily in the medical examination cabin, and The doctor held a pistol-like instrument in his hand to scan her.

The result shocked the doctor. She also had air sacs in her throat that were the same as the small yellow air sacs. Although they grew larger and smaller as she exhaled, there were no small yellow air sacs overall. of large size

"As if it had just grown."

With doubts, the doctor continued to scan.

The girl's internal organs are more complete than Xiaolan's. She has reproductive organs, or in other words, she has added gills and air sacs on the basis of human beings.

"This is less like cloning and more like body modification."

The doctor put down the instrument and muttered in his heart in disbelief.

"Doctor..."

The girl lying down suddenly pulled the doctor's sleeve

"ah? What's wrong? asked the doctor

"My back is itchy."

As she said that, the girl stretched out her hands to scratch her back, but the unstretched brows proved that it didn't relieve much.

"Sit up and let me take a look."

The doctor stretched out his hand to support the girl and help her sit up faster from the medical examination cabin.

"Uh, can you take off your clothes?"

Looking at the silk fabric in front of him, the doctor asked carefully

"Eh? Do you want to take it off? Oh, sorry, please wait."

The girl was surprised at first. She probably thought that the doctor wouldn't be able to see the skin on her back if she didn't take off her clothes, so she immediately apologized and hurriedly untied the ribbon on her chest.

"Um……"

The doctor turned around silently.

The girl's panicked gasping could be heard from behind. It seemed that the design of the clothes was not very simple.

After a few minutes, the girl's small voice came from behind:

"That's it, doctor……"

Turning around, the girl had half-taken off her clothes, exposing her pale skin, losing the restraints of the ribbon. The loose clothes were held by the girl in her chest, and a shy blush had penetrated her ears.

But the doctor was deeply attracted by the strange thing on the girl's back. Those were scales, or scales that were breaking through the skin and about to grow out.

As if to allow the doctor to see more comprehensively, the girl reached out and pulled all the hair hanging down her back to the front.

However, this move gave the doctor a heavy blow in his heart, and he almost cried out in despair:

"It's too late, everything is too late, Hongchang has gone astray……"

Looking at the familiar round birthmark in front of him, the doctor's last trust in his old friend collapsed.
