Chapter 74 The light is bright and extremely clear
Tang Rou's scalp was numb, "Have you forgotten? You told me that day that Qin Li's son committed suicide, and you also said that Qin Li has been mentally unstable for a long time."
But Atherland on the opposite side was sincerely doubtful and didn't sound fake at all.
She said, "I don't remember. I don't know who Qin Li is. Are you sure it was me who told you?"
Atherlan also forgot about her.
No, it's not forgetting.
Tang Rou suddenly felt a sense of fear.
She hurriedly hung up the phone and went to the bathroom.
The mermaid heard her movement and raised her eyelids, looking at her quietly with a pair of clear eyes.
"Do you still remember the person who abused you that day?" Tang Rou squatted in front of him and asked softly, "The person who left these scars on your body?"
The mermaid looked at her quietly for a while and shook her head.
Tang Rou was completely stunned.
Why doesn't anyone remember her?
It was as if her existence was like the words written in pencil, which were wiped away with a gentle wipe, leaving no trace.
She disappeared out of thin air, everything about her disappeared, her name was not in the base system, Atherland did not remember her, and the mermaid did not remember her.
No one in this world remembers Qin Li anymore.
"Then you still remember your injuries...?"
But the next second, Tang Rou's words stopped suddenly, her expression a little hollow.
Qin Li, who is it?
Who? Who was she thinking about just now?
…
Is it difficult to make someone disappear?
It is difficult, both in a legal sense and in a social sense.
No one is an island. The roots beneath their feet are criss-crossed and intertwined.
Is it difficult to make someone disappear?
Not difficult.
Very easy.
.
Tang Rou opened her eyes and walked away for a brief moment. When she came back to her senses, the timer sounded a reminder.
It's time for the mermaid to take a medicinal bath.
She brought this mermaid from the base this afternoon. In a sense, he was her savior who saved her many times.
He was abused by a breeder at the base a few days ago and suffered serious injuries.
Tang Rou's memory was modified and optimized, and she made up logical and self-consistent reasons without noticing anything was wrong.
The water in the bathtub is dyed with a light red color, as well as the transparent mucus that the mermaid secretes automatically when repairing its wounds.
She opened the drain and said to the mermaid, "Can you simply clean it yourself? After rinsing it, I will change your dressing."
However, the mermaid looked at the facilities in the bathroom with a confused expression.
He does not understand how to use the bathing system in human society.
Tang Rou thought for a while and asked, "Do you mind if I wash it for you?"
The mermaid looked at her with her clean eyes and nodded, making Tang Rou feel guilty inexplicably, as if she was coaxing a scumbag who was just a girlfriend.
She doesn't know why, but when faced with this mermaid experimental subject, she always thinks of some messy things.
The mermaid has no objections to all her actions and can be described as submissive, and does not speak most of the time.
The potion prepared in the bathtub was drained, revealing his complete body.
The last time the mermaid was treated for a wound was during the level 4 alarm, the entire power supply system in Area S was damaged. With the weak light brought by the glass cabin, Tang Rou could not see his body clearly.
This time it's very different.
Her bathroom is brightly lit, illuminating everything extremely clearly.
This can be said to be Tang Rou's first time seeing the body of this beautiful creature up close.
His skin is very white, the unique pale color of deep-sea creatures that hide deep in the sea and cannot see the sun. He is a male human with a handsome upper body with broad shoulders and narrow waist. The part below the waist is covered with shining scales, connected to the slender and dreamy fish tail.
.
The only fly in the ointment is that the scars damaged by violence are slightly everted, revealing the shiny flesh and blood, which is the unique translucency of fish.
Blue fins extend from both sides of the waist, with long and narrow ribbon-like tips extending translucently, like streamers.
The slender hand with bony fingers hangs on the edge of the white ceramic bathtub. The sharp horny thorns resemble nails, which can easily slit the throat of prey.
Tang Rou admired him like a work of art, completely unaware that this graceful body slowly became stiff and stiff under her candid gaze.
She looked upward again, and her naked pale upper body was covered with moist light golden hair, winding down along her collarbone.
It is a charming picture of beauty.
The mermaid didn't look at her, her eyes looked elsewhere, her expression looking very calm.
The fingers hidden under the translucent waist fins were clenched tightly.
Probably finally realizing that she had been looking at it for too long, Tang Rou picked up the ointment and looked away. The merman calmly breathed a sigh of relief, but tensed up even more in the next second.
She raised her hand and applied the melted ointment directly to the sensitive and hot wound.
Tang Rou applied it along the red and swollen scars and faintly touched the scales down from the waist. The body temperature there seemed to be higher than other places.
The rain stopped the moment the mermaid woke up.
Outside the glass window, waves surged that could not be calmed down.
Under the thick and slender light golden eyelashes, there is a dark tsunami.
Her eyes were rare and clean among the humans she had ever seen.
Her movements were serious and gentle, and the mermaid knew that she was cleaning her wounds and treating those scars caused by greedy humans.
But this feeling is very painful.
An indescribable, unfamiliar, and even more intense suffering than that night in her laboratory.
He frowned slightly, his petal-like thin lips pursed into a tight line, and his whole person was immersed in some unspeakable and unbearable subtlety.
Tang Rou is very careful and professional.
She frowned while cleaning the wound. The mermaid's injuries were very serious, and some of the wounds were so deep that even the bones were visible, so she didn't dare to use heavy hands even when applying medicine, but she didn't know that the gentle movements of her hands made the other person even more painful.
"Don't you have a name?"
Worried that he was in pain, Tang Rou diverted her attention and said.
The mermaid's long golden hair hung down, covering his expression. Tang Rou could only hear him say "hmm" lightly, and his voice was slightly trembling.
Sure enough, it still hurts a lot.
She continued to ask, "Then do you want a name?"
The mermaid was silent for a long time, her chest rose and fell slightly, and she let out a light "hmm" again.
"How about I give you a name?"
The mermaid continued "Hmm".
One sound is lighter than the other, and one sound is shorter than the other.
There is also a slight tremor that cannot be detected.
Tang Rou thought sadly that he must be in too much pain.
Even the fish tail is tight, so pitiful.
The graceful and slender fingers clung to the edge of the hard ceramic bathtub, and the horny thorns left deep marks on the smooth tiles.
He closed his eyes, tilted his head, wet hair stuck to his cheek, and endured an indescribable feeling that was both unfamiliar and terrifying.
She doesn't seem to be an ordinary human being.
She has magic power.
Those hands seemed to contain some kind of powerful power that made him tremble.
Tang Rou smeared the scars on his waist and abdomen, and said thoughtfully, "You remind me of a certain character in Greek mythology.
It is rumored that Narcissus, the son of the river god and the forest nymph, is the most handsome man in Greek mythology. His birth was accompanied by a prophecy from the prophet, saying that if he wanted to live a long life, he would never see his own image.
