"You have completed the course on the habits of mermaids. Congratulations, you have gained a deeper understanding of yourself. Please protect yourself in the future. If necessary, you can seek help from the special office of the original orc protection center."

"Now please conduct the after-school assessment."

Before Ji Mingjiang was so bored that he fell asleep with his eyes open, the 20 classes finally came to an end, but the conclusion before the course assessment was different from the last time.

The original orc protection center?Ji Mingjiang thoughtfully wrote down this new institution.

The course assessment was still as simple as ever. Although Ji Mingjiang was very itchy to choose the option that didn't seem to be the correct answer for some questions, he finally suppressed his eager hand.

Calm down, it's not too late.

The tail fin slapped the water surface fiercely, and the colder water drops splashed on Ji Mingjiang's hands at night, as if accusing him of being irresponsible to himself and his tail.

It's not difficult to get a full score. Although Ji Mingjiang didn't listen carefully to this class, as long as he had heard something, he would have a general impression, and it would be no problem to answer a few simple questions based on this impression.

As expected, Carrie watched the trumpets and garlands reappeared on the screen, and skillfully sent the report card to Odos.

She could not immediately transfer Lansai from Area D to Area A after the report card was sent out. She had to wait for Ordos to notify Area A, and the nurses in Area A would calm down the little mermaids again and give them a good workout.After being vaccinated, Odos will open the channel connecting the two pools.

Although Odos had asked the trainers to tell the little mermaids in advance this afternoon, it was already eight o'clock in the evening after all, and it was necessary to remind them again.

Carrie originally wanted to clean up the things used by Lan Sai during this period, but just stood up, as if she suddenly realized something, she froze in place.

It's been almost a week since I've been here, and Lan Sai has never shown any liking for toys...

During the two days before learning, this little mermaid was just floating aimlessly on the water surface except eating and sleeping every day. Sometimes it would suddenly sink into the water and jump out of the water or circle around the pool.Swim twice, as if practicing something.He fiddled with the toys Carrie occasionally threw to him before putting them aside.

This state made Carrie very worried for a while. If Lan Sai hadn't given some positive responses every time she communicated, she would have called the psychiatrist from the medical department over.

In the four days after starting to study, Lan Sai's activities other than eating, sleeping, and exercising were studies, and they accounted for the majority. Naturally, Carrie would not bother the little mermaid who was addicted to studying to let him play with her toys.

If you do the math...

Carrie stood in a daze in the empty and tidy room, the little mermaid didn't seem to have any luggage for her to pack...

Ah, once again feel how easy it is to get this salary, but it makes her look so useless.

Fortunately, the news from Ordos came back quickly, and Carrie was not left alone for too long.

Probably because it was close to the time when mermaids usually go to bed, the mermaids in a relaxed state quickly remembered that they were about to have a new partner, and showed a rare expression of curiosity and joy.

"Okay, since there's nothing to clean up, let's go straight there." After touching Lan Sai's smooth long hair, Carrie walked to the corner of the pool, and after pressing a movable brick, the poolA row of buttons appeared on the wall.

Immediately after that, four bricks under the pool became transparent. It seemed that they were high-tech products used to change places for him.

Although was a little surprised that the fish tank from before was not used to send him there, but without Kalido's words, Ji Mingjiang swam over consciously.

It's just that the development of things is not the same as he imagined.

"Hello!!!" There was a sudden sense of weightlessness, and Ji Mingjiang made a rare terrified voice.

It turned out that Carrie saw him cooperate so much, thought he had already guessed the existence of this transmission channel, so she smiled knowingly and pressed the open button directly.

I thought this would be some kind of high-tech teleportation array that was as magical as magic, but it was really a water pipe!!!Is that how you treat mermaids?!

Ji Mingjiang slid forward along the pipe along with the water in the pool, complaining wildly in his heart.

He has never felt that ten seconds is such a long period of time.

Finally, a light gradually came from the end of the pipe, and it was the arrival of Ji Mingjiang's new residence.

I don't know what Area A is like...

Accompanied by the sound of splashing water, Ji Mingjiang lifted his head out of the water, and brushed away the strands of hair brought to his face by the current.

The silver-white hair glowed faintly under the light, and Ji Mingjiang heard exclamations one after another.

He looked up and saw that the pool in Area A was at least five times larger than the one he had been in before. There was only a breeder in a white coat watching him intently by the pool. There was a sound of trotting outside the corridor.on the way.

Then who made the exclamations he heard just now?

As soon as Ji Mingjiang raised this question, he felt that someone poked his waist.

"Well, are you our new companion?" Ji Mingjiang turned his head to look, a mermaid with black hair, black eyes, fair skin, and a figure equivalent to 1/2 of him looked at him with shy eyes, and asked in a low voice.

...Ji Mingjiang also took a look at the other mermaids around him, and found that the first mermaid who spoke to him seemed to be the largest one besides him.

There was nothing exaggerated about the course on mermaid habits!

Ji Mingjiang was shocked in his heart, but his face was still calm. He showed his attitude when he was a volunteer in the orphanage in his previous life, and nodded gently.

After all, in his opinion, these little guys may not even be adults, maybe even less than ten years old.

I found this new mermaid, many times bigger than theirs, seemed to have a good temper, and some little mermaids who were afraid of the new companion even though they came together, also asked him questions in a hurry.

"Wow, how old are you? Looks much longer than us."

"Your hair is so smooth, it's a color we've never seen before, and your skin is also good. What does your nurse feed you every day?"

"Where did you live before? We haven't had any new companions for a long time."

"..."

There were many and complicated questions, some of which Ji Mingjiang hadn't expected at all, so he could only pick and choose answers.

Like the first one.

"I'm 16 this year, how about you?" In order to prevent other mermaids from chasing him and asking non-stop, Ji Mingjiang took the initiative to ask back.

"So young!" The first thing that came out of the mermaid's mouth was not a number that symbolized the age, but a sigh from the bottom of my heart.

"You are the youngest in our place!" The mermaid who spoke to him first also changed his cautious look at the time, and stared at him with wide eyes in surprise.

ah???

Ji Mingjiang's originally calm face cracked instantly, and he looked back with the same expression of disbelief.

Just as he was about to ask something, the voices of Carrie and another foster worker sounded at the same time, "Okay, okay, let's exchange feelings tomorrow. It's already nine o'clock in the evening, and you should go to bed."

After speaking, the little mermaids who had been circling around Ji Mingjiang before swam to the pool with unhappy faces, waiting for the trainers to help them take off the translators.

Seeing this, Ji Mingjiang swept his dark blue fish tail up and down, and came to Kari's side to expose his ear fins.

"Lan Sai is so good, you have to get along well with your new friends."

Carrie also saw the scene of him communicating enthusiastically with a few mermaids here just now, so she wasn't too worried about this, but after a symbolic exhortation, she gently took off the earbuckles hanging on the ear fins.

After putting it in a special box, she went to help Qin Shasha pick up the translator—knowing that Lansai was going to change districts today, after Carrie took the initiative to apply for overtime, in order to help her when she needed it, Qin Shasha also ranWent to change night shift with someone.What's more, Lan Sai was actually assigned to the breeding pool where she was!

"Okay, let's go." Looking back to confirm the situation of the mermaids, Qin Shasha turned off the lights, and the two walked to the parking lot while chatting.

"It's the first time I've seen those little guys so lively. They usually can't speak three sentences all day long."

"Lan Sai is too! He rarely has such a vivid expression!"

"It seems that they should be able to get along well during this period of time. I was worried for a long time when I first received the news from Mr. Odos... After all, I know why you have been teasing me every day before, Lan Sai and othersCompared with mermaids, they really have a different temperament."

"Yes, yes, tomorrow you will be able to feel it even more deeply!"

"..."

After Carrie and Qin Shasha left, the lights in the hall were also turned off one after another according to the set procedure, leaving only the floor lamps emitting a faint light in the corridor.

Ji Mingjiang heard a rustling sound coming from his ears, as if those little mermaids found their usual toys under the pond, and then fell asleep holding them.

He hasn't slept yet. It wasn't that Carrie was worried that he wouldn't adapt to the new environment. Instead, he relied on his night vision to observe the new room.

There are two full rows of toy shelves at the end of the room.

The shelf on the left is full.The toys placed in the middle and lower layers have different degrees of wear and tear, and they seem to be frequently used.Those in the middle and upper layers are some brand new toys, some of which should have just been unpacked for a few days, and some of which are just as they were bought, and the outer packaging boxes are still in good condition.

The shelf on the right is empty, and occasionally one or two scattered toys that look old are placed on it.Other than that, there are empty boxes with openings facing outside and a piece of paper inside the empty box. The piece of paper is laid flat, and Ji Mingjiang cannot see what is written on it.

...It can't be a person's name, can it?This is too strange.

He murmured a little in his heart, so he didn't keep his eyes on these two rows of shelves.

The rest is nothing to look at, it is still the screen that occupies most of the wall, but this time there are two screens, installed on the left and right walls.

Then there are some things that Ji Mingjiang is not famous for, but they should be medical equipment, and a medical examination cabin that he was taken to on the first day he came here-this takes up a large part of the area, after all, it can even fish.The cylinder is put together to detect the presence.

The rest seems to be no different from the place I stayed in before...

After looking around the whole room, Ji Mingjiang yawned slowly, found a corner without mermaids and fell asleep.

What made him happiest after changing the room was probably that the bigger pool made him feel less depressed. In his dream, Ji Mingjiang thought of the bottomless sea and himself swimming around in it.

Hey, when will he be able to graduate from here and go to work? When he earns enough money, he must buy a sea view house...
