Chapter 233 Mermaid Scales
Ji Xingyi secretly kissed Jiang Lin in the dark, his movements very light.
Unlike Ji Xing, Jiang Lin wasn't as thin-skinned and didn't care if anyone noticed. Once the lips were pressed together, her true nature was revealed. Her movements became increasingly exaggerated, and she made no attempt to control her voice. Lu Xingtong immediately noticed her behavior.
"Brother Ji, is there some strange noise?" Lu Xingtong asked in a low voice, looking confused.
Ji Xingyi quickly pressed Jiang Lin down, his voice a little hoarse: "It's okay."
Jiang Lin bit Ji Xingyi's Adam's apple with dissatisfaction and asked with her eyes: You care about her a lot?
Ji Xingyi smelled the jealousy and smiled as she pulled the person into her arms.
"Someone's coming!" Lu Xiaoxiao heard footsteps and interrupted the conversation.
The footsteps overhead grew louder and louder. Ji Xingyi kept his eyes fixed on the entrance; if he were discovered, he would have no choice but to fight to the death.
Atkins kicked open the door to the room above their heads, but there was nowhere to hide inside. Enraged, Atkins slammed his foot on the table: "Damn four-legged worms!"
Lu Xingtong was so frightened that she covered her mouth and held her breath, while Lu Xiaoxiao dared not move an inch, for fear of making the slightest sound and being discovered by the enemy.
“They can’t escape.” Klein walked behind Atkins and patted the blond youth on the shoulder reassuringly. “This is the sea, this is our territory.”
"Hmph, do you even need to tell me that!" Adkins' expression softened slightly, and he turned to leave.
Klein glanced at the marks left by the shifted table leg, thoughtfully looked away, and followed Adkins to search elsewhere.
After the noise above their heads completely disappeared, Lu Xiaoxiao and Lu Xingtong both breathed a long sigh of relief.
"We're safe for now." Lu Xiaoxiao wanted to wipe her sweat, but when she raised her hand and noticed her severed arm, her smile instantly fell.
Lu Xingtong relit the oil lamp and asked softly, "Brother Ji, can we go out now?"
“If you’re in a hurry to be reincarnated, you can go out.” Jiang Lin’s anger flared up at the mention of “Brother Ji” and he gave a very malicious laugh.
Ji Xingyi patted Jiang Lin's hand and explained to Lu Xingtong, "It's not time yet, let's wait a little longer."
What if the other side launches a surprise attack? Wouldn't going out be like walking right into their trap?
Lu Xiaoxiao stared blankly at her severed arm. Jiang Lin got up and walked over to Lu Xiaoxiao.
Jiang Lin: "Are you conscious?"
"It's strange, it doesn't hurt, but I feel like... I can't control it." After Lu Xiaoxiao's body recovered, she didn't feel the pain of her severed arm. The gap was covered with fish scales and stopped bleeding.
The mysterious piece of flesh attached to it seemed to have become part of her body. However, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't control it through her central nervous system. It felt like an independent organ had grown out, an indescribably strange phenomenon.
Jiang Lin looked at Ji Xingyi: "What about you guys?"
Ji Xingyi gestured to Lu Xingtong to check Jiang Lin's wound.
Lu Xingtong pursed her lips and reluctantly extended her left hand. Her wrist was covered with a ring of fish scales.
Unlike Cao Lu and Lu Xiaoxiao, whose hands were transplanted with bits of flesh, Louise severed her hand along her wrist and then reattached it to her.
"This hand is so beautiful." Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exclaim in amazement when she saw Lu Xingtong's transplanted hand.
Her skin was like solidified cream, smooth and lustrous like silk; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a fairy.
Lu Xingtong blushed after being praised by Lu Xiaoxiao. She secretly glanced at Ji Xingyi and immediately lowered her head shyly.
This detail did not escape Jiang Lin's notice. Jiang Lin felt that Lin Ruian's girlfriend, like Lin Ruian, was somewhat mentally unstable.
Isn't this her hand again? What's she so pleased with?
"What do you think they're up to?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked Jiang Lin.
"I also want to ask you, what did you see?" Jiang Lin countered.
Lu Xiaoxiao was startled: "What? What did you see?"
Jiang Lin: "It won't take that long to go from the sixth consultation room to the fifth consultation room, and then to the second consultation room across the street."
"What are you saying? I don't understand," Lu Xiaoxiao replied, trying to appear calm.
"Don't understand?" Jiang Lin chuckled. "Never mind if you don't understand."
The four hid in the equipment room for another half hour. Ji Xingyi went out to scout ahead first, and after confirming that there was no danger, he came back to pick them up and leave.
After Lu Xingtong came up, Lu Xiaoxiao, who was the last one left, waited for the blood tentacles to pull her up, but saw Jiang Lin smiling at her under the light.
"Since you don't understand, then let's call Jiang Yu to save you," Jiang Lin said quietly.
Ji Xingyi cooperated with Jiang Lin, pretending to block the entrance of the hole.
Lu Xiaoxiao knew Jiang Lin was trying to scare her, but she couldn't afford to gamble. After hesitating for a few seconds, she told the truth: "I went from the second examination room to the third examination room. There were many water tanks there, filled with specimens..."
"Get to the point." Jiang Lin had been to the third consultation room and had no discoveries that needed to be concealed.
"In the largest tank in the middle, there was a sleeping mermaid." Lu Xiaoxiao recalled the scene and pointed to a spot on her abdomen: "She was injured in this spot and was probably healing."
Jiang Lin's eyes flickered slightly: "It's Mona."
Ji Xingyi exclaimed in surprise: "She's not dead?"
If Jiang Lin had struck a human, that blow would have killed them beyond any hope of survival.
Jiang Lin: "Both siren and mermaid have fish tails, so why are you so sure she's a mermaid and not a siren?"
Lu Xiaoxiao said firmly, "I've seen a siren, she's definitely a mermaid!"
The siren's fishtail was thick and ugly, but Mona's fishtail was like a luminous galaxy. Her waist and curves would make even a woman like Lu Xiaoxiao's heart flutter.
Jiang Lin: "And then?"
Lu Xiaoxiao adjusted her glasses nervously and said, "That's all, I just came back."
Jiang Lin waved his hand, and Ji Xingyi understood, immediately blocking half of the exit with the table.
"Oh!" Lu Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she wanted to scream but didn't dare to. She lowered her voice and explained anxiously, "Really."
Jiang Lin smiled and gestured for Ji Xingyi to continue.
If Lu Xiaoxiao only glanced at Mona, why did her infection level suddenly increase? The short-haired girl must have done something!
"I'll say it!" Lu Xiaoxiao bit her lip. She had heard Jiang Yu say that Jiang Lin was a difficult person to deal with, but she didn't expect him to be this difficult.
“I plucked her scales,” Lu Xiaoxiao stammered in response.
Ji Xingyi thought he had misheard: "You plucked her scales!"
Jiang Lin didn't expect Lu Xiaoxiao to be so bold: "Hand it over."
Helpless, Lu Xiaoxiao took off her shoes and dug out something wrapped in a handkerchief from under the insole: "Pull me up first, then I'll... sigh!"
Before Lu Xiaoxiao could finish speaking, Ji Xingyi twitched his fingertip, and in the blink of an eye, blood vessels wrapped around the fish scales, snatching the fish away from the short-haired girl's hand.
Jiang Lin couldn't help but look at Ji Xingyi.
Ji Xing placed the item he had snatched into Jiang Lin's palm. Noticing the inquisitive look in Jiang Lin's eyes, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Jiang Lin chuckled, examining the fish scales in his hand.
This fish scale is truly unique, radiating a magnificent blue light, as clear and translucent as a gemstone, like a work of art.
