Chapter 198 The undercurrent of missing my breath (33)
Halfway through the journey, their car was stopped by two groups of people who came together.
One group was looking for Lu Jian, and the other group was looking for the mermaid.
Lu Jian got out of the car and prepared to leave with the people from Shouxing.
She will return directly on the starship, while Gui Lan will return to the research institute.
They probably won't harm the mermaid, just imprison him.
Lu Jian did not look back. She kept her eyes down the whole time. Even when she was talking to her father's subordinates, she did not look them in the eye.
When she got on the starship, she sat down in her seat, closed her eyes and began to sleep, and even borrowed an eye mask.
She remained silent until she returned to the Lu family.
She would secretly take a picture with the camera in her smart brain every once in a while, and seeing that her eyes had not faded yet, she frowned and thought of many ways.
She felt that it would be better not for Lu Xingling to know before she found out.
After arriving at the Lu family, she was allowed to wash up first and then go to Lu Xingling's office.
In the room, she took off her clothes, put on a bath towel and went into the bathroom.
She untied the bath towel with one hand and reached out with the other hand to let the sensor shower head automatically adjust the water temperature.
Feeling that it was about time, she put her whole body into the shower head.
But in that instant, her feet slipped and she fell heavily to the ground. Because there was no carpet in the bathroom, her bones collided directly with the marble.
That sound is so painful to hear.
She hissed softly and wiped the water off her face. The next second, she belatedly felt a different sensation.
She looked towards her legs, but her sight was attracted by a silver-blue fish tail.
From her navel downwards, her slender legs were no longer visible, and her fish tail was glittering like the sparkling sea water under the moonlight.
Her expression was blank for a few seconds, staring at her tail, unable to utter a word.
"No, what the hell?"
She grabbed the edge of the sink with her arms and picked up a stool to sit on.
In the mirror, her eyes were a clear, transparent blue, and her beautiful black hair had turned completely silver.
That face that I have seen so many times now has a different kind of beauty.
Like an elf in the deepest secret place under the sea.
Lu Jian was completely confused.
She remembered that Gui Lan had bitten her again, probably at the mole on the back of her neck.
Now that he is an adult, will she change as well?
Lu Jian slapped the ground with his tail twice, then touched his smooth and beautiful scales, feeling a little surprised.
So awesome, wow, that’s awesome.
She didn't have much time to appreciate it. She quickly finished her shower and dried herself.
This time, her tail, hair color, and even eye color all returned to normal, and she looked no different than before.
She put on her clothes, went downstairs immediately, stood in front of Lu Xingling's office door, then raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
Lu Xingling was holding several documents in his hands and writing something with a pen.
He signed the document in his hand, pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked at her with a smile, "Where did you go?"
"...You clearly know it." The girl put her hands behind her back, with no expression on her face, looking neither humble nor arrogant.
Lu Xingling sneered, "It seems that you have a good relationship with that mermaid."
"He is a mermaid after all. Since father has taken over now, nothing can happen to him. I have been with him for many years. Wouldn't it be good for father to find him back?" The girl saluted and smiled politely.
"Besides, I have no intention of leaving the family, nor do I have the ability to do so," she said slowly.
The man responded with a gentle voice, "That's good, but if you leave without permission, you still have to accept some small punishment. Do you have any objection?"
"……No comment."
So, she was taken to the training greenhouse again.
The automated mecha that she had beaten to scrap last time had disappeared, and was replaced by a larger and newer mecha that was said to have been developed just yesterday.
"This mecha has not yet entered the testing stage. Miss, please be careful." The person who brought her here for training felt a little reluctant and reminded her anyway.
Without testing, accidents can happen at any time.
Lu Jian put on the soft armor and looked at the giant beast in front of him that had not yet started. He exhaled and asked, "How long will the training last?"
“Until you can beat it.”
The trainer responded with her silence.
The trainer looked at her and finally left with his head down.
To defeat the latest mecha, doesn't that mean she wants to become a humanoid killing machine?
As the broadcast counted down, Lu Jian and the mecha stood opposite each other in the huge training ground, about ten meters apart.
The mecha's eyes slowly lit up, and it looked like it was turning on.
The countdown includes the boot time, so once the countdown reaches zero, the showdown begins.
As all the numbers on the stopwatch returned to zero, the mecha in front of him immediately started moving.
Lu Jian quickly slid forward to avoid its huge fist, slid to its feet, and rolled again in an instant to avoid being stepped on by it.
The biggest shortcoming of the mecha is that it cannot think and only knows how to attack.
She needs to take advantage of the weakness of this big guy, let it attack itself, and then take the opportunity to finish it off and destroy its operating room.
##
She was locked up there for a week.
During this period, someone brought her food and she slept only four hours a day on average.
Lu Jian understood what Lu Xingling meant the next day.
The main punishment was not to practice with the mecha, but to make her endure the exhaustion.
She currently has no way to deal with Lu Xingling, so she can only speed up her plan to destroy the operating room every day.
The glass in front of the operating room could not be broken with her strength, so she climbed onto the body of the mecha several times, inducing it to attack itself.
It has been smashed more than a dozen times, but there is still only one crack.
This made Lu Jian realize that destroying it would not be a matter of a day or two.
……
When she came out of the training room, she held onto the wall, staggering and almost falling down.
The door behind her was not closed tightly yet, and her vision was almost filled with a pile of broken iron.
When Lu Huaiyu came over to support her, he saw the fallen, motionless mecha.
"Please help me."
This time, Lu Jian simply stopped using any strength and let Lu Huaiyu drag her away.
At least the ground was clean, and Lu Xingling was not at home at the moment, so Lu Huaiyu grabbed her arm and dragged her along the ground.
"I say, you are really awesome." Lu Huaiyu sighed lightly.
He has graduated from Selhan College and is currently at home helping the Prime Minister with official business.
And Lu Jian needs to study for another year.
It was originally supposed to be three years, but Lu Huaiyu would probably only need one year to get into the president's sight and inherit the position of prime minister.
Therefore, Lu Jian's graduation time was forced to be shortened by one year by Lu Xingling.
His meaning was very clear, he wanted Lu Jian to assist him.
Lu Jian simply rested for a day at the Lu family, had a full body check-up, and applied plasters all over her body. She returned to the college with a strong smell of plasters.
She went to the library to look up her unusual physical changes, and saw a few sesame-sized lines of words in the annotation position in the lower left corner of the same book.
——When a sea spirit reaches adulthood, it can temporarily acquire some of the abilities of the partner it marked in childhood, and will mark the partner again to make the partner's abilities permanent, while also sharing life and physical signs with the partner.
——ps: The partner will be assimilated by the characteristics of the sea spirit, because there are not many creatures in the world whose genetic strength exceeds that of the sea spirit.
Lu Jian: "..."
easy to understand.
It was because Gui Lan had bitten her when he was young that he was able to temporarily possess two legs when he grew up, and then when he was marked a second time, he could switch back and forth between his fish tail and his legs.
The same is true for Lu Jian.
nice one……
Limited skin.
Lu Jian thought with a complicated expression.
