A young man full of poison was surrounded at the end of a corridor. He was exhausted and slid to the ground against the wall.
A light transparent water stain oozed out from under his body.
The entire corridor looked dark and damp.
He couldn't walk anymore.
Drooping eyelashes, exhausted.
The incandescent lamp above his head was very bright, making his skin even paler and more transparent, as if he were a beautiful puppet carved out of ice, about to melt.
But no one dares to take it lightly.
The security officers were tense and extremely alert.
In the process of hunting down this humanoid alien creature, there were heavy casualties, and the death was even more horrific.
The more poisonous something is, the more beautiful it is.
The boy's upper body still maintains a humanoid shape, but the lower body where his legs were originally has turned into layers of translucent gel that winds and drags.
Like a streamer.
Also like crystal silk.
The mechanical device aimed at him again, moving slowly to scan his status.
Every nematocyst in those streamers is ready to attack, brewing venom, and intends to destroy them all.
Analysis and judgment came from the security officer's earphone, "Cannot be contained, prepare to kill."
If he cannot be contained in the laboratory, he will be destroyed.
"Copy that." The leader pulled the safety bolt, raised the weapon, "Ready to shoot."
"three……"
"two……"
Before the word "一" could be pronounced, the lights suddenly went out.
The corridor fell into darkness without warning.
"The circuit was damaged!"
"Turn on night vision mode!"
There was a mess not far away, and the young man sat quietly, feeling the familiar scent soak into his senses.
He raised his head, and his empty eyes suddenly brightened for a moment.
A pair of hands grabbed him.
At the same time, firelight flickered, and sharp and terrifying laser weapons exploded overhead, blasting out dark and gloomy gun holes in the all-metal wall.
The young man was pushed down on his head and dragged away from a lower place.
He lost the ability to move, his body was severely dehydrated, and he was pushed into a certain room.
"I'm late."
A gentle voice sounded in the darkness.
The boy's mouth was open and his chest was heaving, like a fish that couldn't make a sound.
Huge surprises come with pain.
He thought he was going to die, thought he wouldn't be able to see his owner for the last time before melting, but now he actually heard her voice and even felt her body temperature.
Tang Rou felt a vague feeling of moisture in her palms, and her face changed.
Before she could react, the boy had already thrown away her hand and stepped back in panic.
In the darkness, she couldn't see anything, she only knew that the moon was trying its best to stay away from her.
"What's wrong?" Tang Rou walked forward.
There was only a splash and he fell into the water.
It seems that this house has a cistern.
"Moon." Tang Rou reached out and groped around, came to the edge of the pool, and called softly, "Xiaoyue."
She originally wore the protective gloves of the unconscious security guard on her hands.
Now, the gloves are rotten, with holes appearing like they have been corroded by strong acid.
It should have been broken when Tang Rou reached out to grab him and ran away, which also means that Tang Rou came into direct contact with his skin.
However, she was not poisoned.
There was a layer of wet liquid on the palm of her hand, and the melted rubber exuded a strange and unpleasant smell. Tang Rou took off her gloves and clasped her palms.
It didn't hurt or break the skin.
"Come here, don't be afraid, you didn't hurt me."
Tang Rou's voice was gentle, calling her jellyfish like she was coaxing a child.
But the young man didn't move.
He was hiding in the water, only showing a pair of empty eyes.
Deeply in pain, I want to get close to the person I love deeply, but I dare not.
He knew that his toxicity had mutated again, and even the slightest bit of it would kill her.
"Yue, let's leave here, they are going to seal it off."
In order to prevent the 300,000 people in the underground world from escaping, they even prepared to burn the place down.
Tang Rou knew that he was right in front of her, and she also knew that he was frightened and uneasy, she could feel it.
There has always been an unexplained synesthesia between her and the jellyfish.
But there's no time now. She just destroyed the electrical box in the corridor and it shouldn't last long.
Those people should catch up soon.
She also wants to find sea rabbits.
"Yue, be obedient." Tang Rou sweated on her forehead.
A few meters away, the young man was looking at her with pleading eyes.
He is desperate.
He couldn't take back his streamers, nor his cnidaria.
His lower body couldn't even transform into a human form.
He longed to be with her, but was afraid that he would hurt her.
"look."
Tang Rou took off her tattered gloves, revealing her intact palms.
"You didn't hurt me. You did it. You can control it."
The young man shook his head and sank down.
He has no confidence in himself.
"Xiaoyue, come on, let's leave together."
The owner's voice became nasal, "Be obedient, okay?"
When Tang Rou first entered the Tower of Babel, she had no idea how terrifying these creatures were, and her natural sense of closeness made her do many bold things.
Among them is keeping a palm-sized jellyfish in a glass tank on the table.
It grows very well, is very quiet, and has not reached the breeding stage, causing many people to ignore its existence.
Tang Rou became more and more bold, and once she had a drink with Aslan and quietly took him out.
But as soon as we drove out of the underground garage, we were surrounded.
Because of the violation, he was penned for review and fined three months' salary. The breeder was changed and No. 4 was assigned a new owner.
But the jellyfish, which had always been docile and uncontested, suddenly stopped eating, stopped growing, and even became hydrated, as if it wanted to commit suicide.
Helplessly, the laboratory replaced Tang Rou again.
The jellyfish also resumed feeding after that.
So, he must like her.
Tang Rou has carefully studied the structure of No. 4's nematocysts. The long and coiled stinging wires are hidden in the nematocysts. When stimulated, the stinging wires turn inside out from the nematocysts and inject toxins.
Theoretically, it is controllable, especially by an intelligent creature like Yue.
But what Tang Rou didn't know was that she couldn't control her excitement when being touched by someone she loved deeply.
The boy shrank from a distance.
He lowered his eyes like a helpless child.
But suddenly, he noticed the owner stepping into the water with one foot and said, "If you don't come over, I will go down."
no!
He resisted with all his heart.
The water is full of his streamers, each one containing poison.
"They will set fire to this place soon. If you don't come with me now, you will die." Tang Rou said expressionlessly, "Since you want to die so much, I will accompany you."
The young man was trembling all over.
Seeing that the owner's other leg was about to step into the water, he gathered up the streamer in despair and swam over, and pushed her knee with the only non-toxic head in his body.
Tang Rou breathed a sigh of relief and quickly retracted her legs.
It was indeed an adventure.
It won’t work without forcing it.
She propped herself up, lying on the tiles, and reached out to touch the boy's wet silver-white hair.
"Don't be afraid, you won't hurt me."
The young man lowered his eyelashes timidly, couldn't help but gently rubbed her palm, and shrank carefully.
"Let's go." Tang Rou let go and stood up, "Can you crawl out?"
Yue nodded and raised her upper body.
But at this moment, the lights above her head turned on, Tang Rou's eyes felt the faint light, and then she heard the sound of a horn.
"Hello, we didn't get along well before. Please let us get to know each other again."
The camera flashed a strange red light in the corner, recording all the strange interactions between her and the poisonous creature.
Upload to z as a red file.
I thought this was an unexpected discovery.
Unexpectedly, someone in Z organization recognized her.
"We come from Z and are the supporters and guardians of the human civilization community. We contain and manage all supernatural phenomena, mysterious creatures and other abnormal events that appear in this world, and collectively refer to them as "contained objects"."
"Z's operations are not subject to interference from any political organization and are committed to protecting the world and continuing human civilization."
"Now, we officially extend an invitation to you and hope you can join us."
