"Why isn't it worth it?"

Qi Xiang seemed to have heard something funny, and said sarcastically, "Only you are cold-hearted, have no love in your eyes, only kill, and mourn, will you consider whether it is worthwhile when doing things?"

"Really?" Qi Yuan looked indifferent.

He strode towards Qi Xiang, raised his leg and stepped on the latter's shoulder blade.

The heavy force bent Qi Xiang's body even more.

"Hmm." Qi Xiang couldn't bear it any longer, and let out an overwhelmed muffled groan.

"I'm cold-hearted. It's better than you breaking into my manor privately, trying to steal the mermaid, and insulting the soldiers with the rank of general. It's better to offend the next one, right?"

Qi Yuan lowered his eyes and put one hand on his lap. The corners of his lips curled up a little, and he asked with great interest, "Mr. Qi, you are a staff member of the base. When you first joined the job, even if you didn't pass the exam, you should have a littleHave you understood? Then tell me, what crimes are you committing?"

Qi Xiang pursed his lips.

The smell of rust spreads in the mouth.

He lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I'm not afraid of going to jail, nor of dying."

Qi Xiang thought to himself, what he is doing now is saving the little mermaid, doing good deeds, and fighting against evil forces.What has he to be afraid of?

Qi Yuan looked at the other party's appearance, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said softly, "You are stubborn. You sound nice on the surface, you want to save the mermaid and take him away. But even if I let you go, you have such a treasure in your arms.Can you keep it? Do you know what you will face in the future? Or are you eating the news of those terrorists stealing mermaids for food, vivisection, and poisonous mermaids doing spiritual experiments?"

hiss.

It sounds so painful.

Jiang Yuan hugged his fishtail silently.

Qi Xiang was also suffocated when he heard it, and his face turned pale.

Of course he has seen such news, and even in recent years, such accidents have become more and more frequent, and his mental strength is only B-level, his combat effectiveness is weak, and his family is not strong, so he really cannot protect the safety of the little mermaid.Hiding in Tibet, going to a remote planet.

If he is careless, causing 0163 to fall into the hands of those people...

It will definitely be worse than it is now.

Qi Xiang's eyes were faintly red, and it was the first time that he doubted his behavior.

but……

"It's ridiculous to say this from your mouth." Qi Xiang almost squeezed out such a sentence through his teeth, his eyes were tearing, and he asked, "Do you still remember the No. 089 Mermaid in the No. 1 Mermaid Base?"?”

Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows, with slight strength: "That blue mermaid?"

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden sound of noisy footsteps outside.

The steward and the attendants rushed in together.

"General!"

"What's the matter? Young master Jiang Yuan is not injured, right?" Steward Su rushed to the front and was relieved when he saw that Jiang Yuan in the water tank was intact. Then he looked at Qi Xiang on the ground.

He had a good memory, bent over, and recognized at a glance that this person was the recorder who Jiang Yuan told him that he wanted to meet the mermaid for the last time and talk to him on the first day, but suddenly spoke ill of the general!

Steward Su said angrily, "So it's you—"

Qi Yuan withdrew his legs in time.

Steward Su immediately stepped forward, grabbed Qi Xiang's ear and lifted it up: "I've already guessed that you are not a good person!"

Qi Xiang: "..."

Qi Xiang's ears hurt like hell, but he didn't say a word, his eyes were stubborn, he still stared at Qi Yuan, as if he was waiting for an answer.

But Qi Yuan only said: "Beat him once, then find a place to lock him up, and throw him out after a while."

"yes."

The attendants immediately stepped forward and detained Qi Xiang.

Qi Xiang was suppressed by mental force and could not resist at all.

He shouted: "Qi Yuan! Are you guilty? As soon as I mention that blue mermaid, you don't intend to kill me, you must be—— oh! oh oh!!!"

Qi Xiang's mouth was tightly covered by the attendant again.

The attendant turned over to Byakugan: "If you still say such things, I think you really don't want to live anymore." As he spoke, he dragged Qi Xiang out together with other colleagues.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, he thought to himself, from the meaning of General Qi's words, no one should die.

It seems that the general's temper is not as bad as he imagined.

Yawning, Jiang Yuan quickly lay down.

It's off work. It's off work.

aside.

Steward Su frowned, and walked to Qi Yuan's side: "General, it's been more than two years, why do you still mention that blue mermaid without eyes..."

When speaking, Butler Su's tone was full of disgust.

He glanced at Qi Yuan's expression, saw that Qi Yuan didn't seem to care, he felt a little relieved, and hurriedly told another piece of news, so that Qi Yuan could change his mood: "By the way, general, I asked the investigators to come to them."The video from this time, intercepts the question-and-answer part between them and the little mermaid master, do you want to watch it now?"

Q&A video?

Qi Yuan was indeed interested.

He made a "hmm", thought of something, turned his head to look, only to find that the golden mermaid in the water tank was already in a ball, closed his eyes, breathing steadily, he should have fallen asleep.

Qi Yuan: "..."

Qi Yuan withdrew his gaze: "Let's go."

The investigators’ questions to the mermaid are not very sharp. They usually ask about the living conditions of the mermaid in the new environment, and through careful observation, guess whether the matter is true, and rule out the possibility that the mermaid is threatened by the owner.

on screen.

The appearance of the golden mermaid really seemed to be threatened by Qi Yuan.

——Except for meal time on weekdays, Jiang Yuan is either lying down or paralyzed, but at this moment he is rarely active, sitting upright on the reef with a straight posture, the golden fish tail hangs down, and the white-stained part falls naturallyin the water.He took the initiative to say hello: "Dear investigators, hello. Nice to meet you."

The investigator was taken aback, and was amused by Jiang Yuan's appearance: "Don't be so cautious."

"Yes, yes, just treat this as an ordinary conversation."

"Mermaid No. 0163, from the Third Mermaid Base, right? You've been here for two or three days, what's your initial impression?"

Jiang Yuan nodded solemnly, and said: "I want to thank the general for everything that I have given me. There is natural light from the skylight, clean water, beautiful houses and attractive food. Butler Su was afraid that I would be bored, so he specially helped me.I prepared a projector so that I can watch TV dramas all the time..."

Jiang Yuan prepared a two-minute essay, and after memorizing it, he began to make a final summary, "So, I like life here very much."

Several investigators looked at each other in dismay. Listening to this "speech", they felt like they were dreaming of going back to elementary school. Judging from their expressions, they didn't know how much they believed it.

After that, they followed the rules and asked many other questions, and the golden little mermaid answered them very seriously.

One of the male investigators remained silent.

He looked the mermaid up and down, and couldn't help asking: "Are you really not threatened by the general? I read your profile before, and you are at the mermaid base...it doesn't seem to be the case."

The female investigator paused, glanced at the information, and said, "Indeed." She leaned forward a little, and said softly, "0163, don't worry, we are here to ensure your safety, soNo matter what happened before, you can speak up as long as you feel necessary."

She encouraged: "It's like sharing your life with us."

Jiang Yuan's eyes widened, and he asked in a shocked tone: "How is it possible? The general is an admiral with 3S mental power. If he really wants to attack me, I will definitely be injured and will be detected. If he threatensIt’s impossible for me to sit here calmly and say good things about him to you, and still watch dramas, eat and drink every day.”

Jiang Yuan: "Otherwise, my heart is too big, right?"

Qi Yuan: "..."

Steward Su: "..."

The two people watching the video had complex expressions.

In the picture, the investigator thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "It makes sense."

——It is quite difficult to raise mermaids, and if there is something unsatisfactory, it will be reflected in all aspects, and the most obvious ones are diet and emotions.

They will be unable to eat and become irritable and irritable.

For example, the three mermaids before, except for the blue mermaid who was the most injured, were rescued, and the other two could indeed tell that something was wrong with them at a glance.

Looking back at the little mermaid in front of me...

"Your complexion is much better than before." The female investigator commented.

Jiang Yuan's little chicken pecked at the rice and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes."

The recording ends soon.

Neither of the two people in the room spoke.

After a few seconds, Steward Su said, "General, the investigator sent me a message saying that the little mermaid was in a sub-healthy state in the previous base, with all the values on the low side and even in the direction of critical illness..”

"Sub-health?"

Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"Yes. I just found out about it."

Steward Su pointed to a person in the picture, snorted softly, and said, "That's the person. He is the only senior coordinator at the No.Rumor has it that he didn't like you very much, so he sent you this mermaid that even the senior management of the base thought would not live long."

——Although the current Admiral Qi really doesn't need a mermaid, His Majesty announced that he would give Qi Yuan a mermaid, which is a formality between the two sides, but outsiders don't know about it.

Therefore, although the dispatcher sent the young master Yuanyuan, who has a very good personality and is willing to stay, which is a great thing, but his motive is obviously to harm Admiral Qi, but it makes Steward Su disgusting.up.

Speaking of this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "As a result, those people didn't expect that the young master Yuanyuan has only been with us for a few days, and the data has obviously increased slightly. Although he is still in a sub-healthy state, butIt's much better than before, and it pissed off that senior coordinator."

Qi Yuan didn't say anything.

His long eyelashes drooped down, staring at the ground.

A few seconds later, Qi Yuan raised his eyelids, and said in a calm tone: "Send this video to that person named Qi Xiang as well."

"it is good."

Jiang Yuan had a good night's sleep without dreams, and only got up at three poles in the sun.

He leisurely had lunch, just found a suitable posture on the shell bed, turned on the projector, and was about to look for a new TV series to watch when the door of the room was pushed open.

"Go in quickly!"

With a soft snort, a tall attendant pushed Qi Xiang in from the outside.

Qi Xiang staggered, his face was swollen and his clothes were dirty.He turned his head, glanced at Jiang Yuan quickly, touched the little mermaid's slightly worried eyes, endured the pain in the corners of his mouth and lungs, and said: "You don't have to worry about me! I'm fine! They beat people professionally, althoughIt hurts, but it doesn't hurt the vitals!"

Jiang Yuan: "."

It's okay to beat people professionally.

But what did the attendant put Qi Xiang into his room for?

Just as Jiang Yuan was thinking, he saw Steward Su walking in slowly holding a cup of wolfberry tea.He didn't even look at Qi Xiang, but only greeted Jiang Yuan: "Young Master, is today's lunch to your liking?"

Jiang Yuan nodded.

Today, apart from seafood, the kitchen specially fried a small piece of steak for Jiang Yuan.

——Considering the gastrointestinal problems of the mermaid, they didn't dare to let Jiang Yuan eat too much.

"That's good."

Butler Su smiled and said, "I was planning to tell you about the three mermaids, but I forgot about it later, I just have free time today, and I'm afraid you'll be thinking wildly when you're alone, so I'll tell you about it?"

Oh.

It turned out to be this.

Jiang Yuan flicked his fish tail to show that he heard it.

Steward Su took a sip of his tea.

He looked far away and began to talk about the events of that year.

"I told you before that the general has been defending his family and the country on the edge of the planet since he was a minor. Two years and eight months ago, the general's mental strength could not hold on, so he was approved by His Majesty to return to the capital.Star. With his military rank, of course he can apply for a mermaid, and this first mermaid is the blue fishtail mermaid that Mr. Qi mentioned before."

"After all, he is the general's first mermaid. Everyone in the manor is very nervous and looking forward to it. We started to arrange it a month in advance, trying to make the little mermaid fall in love with it, but..."

Steward Su's expression became colder, "This mermaid came here under orders."

"The general has been fighting abroad for so many years. He has not participated in partisan struggles, but he has touched the cakes of many people. As the only fighter with 3S spiritual power, the existence of the general has actually become an obstacle for some people.It is no exaggeration to say that those who want him to die are like crucian carp in a river."

"After the little mermaid came... the next day, he secretly poisoned the food. If the general hadn't discovered it in time, he might have died on the spot! But this illness made the situation worse, causing the general's mental pollution to aggravate rapidly."

Qi Xiang opened his mouth wide and said in shock, "Why—how is this possible!?"

"How is it impossible? In the entire manor, no one dared to doubt the mermaid. Even when the general had an accident, we ate and drank offerings to the mermaid. We knelt on the ground and prayed, hoping that the mermaid would wash away the spirit of the general with singing.", rescued the general, however, the mermaid refused to speak, and even sneered, and we realized something was wrong."

When Steward Su recalled what happened back then, he felt like a knife was twisting his heart.

He closed his eyes.

"Since then, the general woke up from the hospital again, as if he was a different person. I often think that the general is only in his twenties this year, but he has experienced things that ordinary people may experience in their forties or fifties..."

Steward Su sighed, expressing his feelings.

"Then what happened next?"

In the study, Qi Yuan sat on a chair and asked casually without raising his head.

"...The young master fell asleep later."

Steward Su stood opposite to Qi Yuan, and said awkwardly, "I can't be shaken by thunder, and I haven't woken up by shouting."
