Zerg Survival Record

Chapter 185

Power is a good thing, so no one dares to challenge it anymore.

Lan Yin successfully took the photo of the mermaid, but when he paid, he felt very depressed.

Kelesel really wanted to pay for him, but seeing how stubborn he was, he didn't dare to say anything.

Interstellar currency has a little inflation. Twenty billion credit points sounds like a lot, but in fact, Lan Yin can get the amount by selling any planet. Not to mention that he has been on the Imperial Capital Star for some time. He can still scrape together the money, but this has also drained all the funds he can use.

After Lan Yin transferred the money, he was about to go up to check the goods and see what the mermaid's condition was like.

He didn't know the nature of this creature, but he had some understanding of the Zerg. They were not kind people. For details, he could refer to the Dark Ages two hundred years ago.

Mermen, whether docile or unruly, are at risk of abuse.

But before he could get up, he heard a noisy sound from behind.

An attendant hurried in and reported, "The police from the Law Enforcement Department have surrounded this place."

The insects at the scene were a little panicked, but they soon calmed down.

They were all decent people and had not done anything illegal here. They did not buy the only auction item that was considered out of the ordinary.

Lan Yin noticed their overt or covert stares at her, and smiled lightly, not caring about their intentions.

He stood up and walked to the auction table in the slightly tense atmosphere, with Terraris following behind him.

Seeing him coming up, Aiqi said, "Mr. No. 2, are you here to check on the mermaid's condition?"

"Of course, I don't want to waste my time on other things."

Lan Yin glanced at him lightly.

Aiqi was startled and didn't dare to delay. He took out the key and opened the golden cage. At the same time, he stepped back a long distance, probably because he knew how cruel the mermaid was.

Lan Yin was not afraid. The mermaid was sold as a pet. The seller did not want anything disadvantageous to happen to them, so he would definitely resolve the potential danger.

This is also one of the reasons why Lan Yin suspected that the mermaid was being abused.

He smelled the smell of blood hidden in the damp vapor, his heart sank, and he was about to walk into the cage.

Terraris stopped him and said, "I'll go in and take a look first. You wait for me outside."

Seeing his serious expression, Lan Yin knew that there was no room for negotiation, so she could only nod.

Terraris walked in.

Although the water tank is transparent, it is covered with a layer of white gauze, making the shadows hazy and unable to tell the reality. Only the basic outline can be seen.

It can be said that there is a kind of hazy beauty shrouded in smoke, with the silhouette of mermaids and the sound of water when they swim.

Lan Yin guessed that this was a cover-up for the mermaid's true condition, such as his poor physical condition.

Even missing arms and tails.

He didn't mind assuming the worst of them, because in reality, the real situation would only be more tragic than he imagined.

Terraris approached the water tank cautiously. When he lifted the white veil, a nimble figure jumped out of the water and rushed towards him.

But Terraris only punched him and knocked him back into the water.

Lan Yin reminded him: "Don't hurt him."

"Yes," Terraris agreed, reaching into the water and pulling the mermaid out.

Drops of water rolled down the curve of the snow-white and beautiful body, and the fish tail slapped the water surface, making a "splashing" sound.

Terraris lifted the mermaid up and showed it to Lan Yin.

Lan Yin was caught off guard and met the mermaid's eyes.

how to say?

The ice-blue eyes were filled with anger and embarrassment at the current situation, as if a once extremely noble being had fallen from the clouds into the mud, unable to struggle.

But soon, the pupils of the owner of the ice-blue eyes shrank and he stopped struggling.

Lan Yin found something strange, so he walked over and signaled Terraris to lower the mermaid.

Terraris lowered it as instructed, but controlled the mermaid's movements.

A very harsh princess hug.

Lan Yin grabbed the mermaid's chin and forced him to open his mouth.

Sure enough, there was not a single tooth.

He pried open the mermaid's mouth again to take a look, and his face turned dark.

"Excellent work! The singing mermaid has lost her tongue, and even her vocal cords are damaged. This auction is truly eye-opening for me. You may not have any other skills, but you're incredibly skilled at concealing buyers and defrauding credit points."

The mermaid's value lies in his beauty, followed by his singing voice.

If one of them is lost, the mermaid's value is halved.

Lan Yin picked up the mermaid's hand again. It was snow-white and slender, but without nails. It looked like it had just been pulled out and had not healed yet. Blood was still oozing from the wound, and the smell of blood probably came from there.

The mermaid did not object to Lan Yin touching him, but just looked at Lan Yin quietly, which was very abnormal.

Terraris was secretly alert. He couldn't stop the Excellency's actions, so he could only help him be on guard.

"Mr. No. 2, this matter is the responsibility of the Welsh Chamber of Commerce. Our Fang Auction House only sells the goods and does not know about the situation of the mermaid." Aichi's voice came.

Lan Yin ignored him.

Even if you tell this to a ghost, no one will believe it.

For example, if you purchase goods to sell, wouldn’t you check if there are any problems with the goods?

"Besides, the mermaid's singing will confuse all living things. The Wells Chamber of Commerce is also concerned about everyone's safety."

Aitch felt guilty when he said this.

While this is perfectly normal, it should be stated before the sale, rather than for the buyer to discover it afterward.

This is nothing more than knowing that the auction items cannot be inspected in advance, and no returns or exchanges will be given once sold, in order to make a profit from the buyer's blind spot.

Don’t say that this is short-sighted. Not everyone has money as easily as Lan Yin does now.

The huge profits brought by mermaids are enough to blind their eyes. Who doesn’t like money and has to give it away?

Even though the auction house has a huge turnover, 20 billion is their net profit for a year.

"Okay, you don't have to waste your breath on so much talk. I only know that your Chamber of Commerce and your bank deceived me."

Anger rose in Lan Yin's heart.

In addition to spending a lot of money, the mermaid suffered more damage, just like when he saw the needle holes on Rocco's arm, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

"Generally speaking, those who deceive me never have a good ending."

After Lan Yin finished speaking, he ignored Aiki's panicked reaction and said, "Let's go, Terraris. I'll have to trouble you to hold him."

Now he just wanted to go to the hospital and have the doctor check the mermaid to see if her tongue and vocal cords could be saved.

He knew that the mermaid's tongue and vocal cords might not have been made by the bugs from the Chamber of Commerce or the auction house. The beautiful and melodious singing was also one of the selling points of the mermaid, so it was most likely done by the space traffickers who captured the mermaids.

They walk on the edge of danger. Unless an employer pays a large sum of money to reserve them, when faced with creatures like mermaids that fight enemies with singing, of course they will destroy their voices first to make it easier to capture them.

Before Lan Yin walked out of the golden cage, she put the water tank into the space button.

Aichi, who witnessed all this, didn't dare to say anything and could only treat the water tank as the one in the buy-one-get-one-free deal.

When they paid attention to the audience, they found that the scene was surrounded by police insects.

Lan Yin was wondering what was going on when he saw several bugs in police uniforms talking to Kailesel. One of them immediately noticed his gaze and looked over.

He didn't really like being looked at as if he were a suspect, so he walked down with Terraris.

The focus of attention originally shifted from Kelesel to Lan Yin.

Lan Yin frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Kelesel turned to him and said, "There's a rat in the auction house."

Seeing that he didn't say much, Lan Yin knew that the identity of "Mouse" was very unusual.

He said, "Do you need help?"

It would be faster to search using mental power.

Kelesel refused without hesitation: "No need, they are not that useless."

As expected of Kelesel, he said such words so easily.

"Who is this?" asked the female insect whose police uniform was obviously the most advanced.

He was also the same bug that was looking at Lan Yin just now.

Lan Yin smiled slightly, held out his hand, and said, "Erol Zevison."

The other party looked into his dark eyes, and also stretched out his hand and shook it lightly with Lan Yin: "Ogula Gwen."

Lan Yin thought that her name was quite long, just like mine.

They loosened their grip.

Oglagwen said, "You said you wanted to help me just now. May I ask, what method do you plan to use?"

Lan Yin glanced at Kelesel and said, "Sir Kelesel rejected me. I'm sorry I can't say it."

Ogragwen narrowed his eyes, but said nothing more, and turned his gaze to Terraris who was holding the mermaid.

Of course, mermaids are not the point.

Many Zerg nobles keep alien species as pets. Mermaids are not common, but they are not the rarest species either.

What deserved Ogragwen's attention was Terraris's level and strength. Although he was obviously above him, he served as the insect's follower without complaint.

Something suddenly occurred to him.

Black hair and black eyes, typical royal bloodline, accompanied by such a consul, and protected by the 2S female insect, the identity of this insect is obvious.

He is... His Royal Highness Crown Prince Archibald!

Lan Yin had no idea what he was thinking, so she said, "Since it has nothing to do with me, he and I will leave first."

Kelesel nodded and said, "Don't wander around, go home quickly."

He glanced at the mermaid and said to Lan Yin, "The housework robot will take care of his injuries. As for more serious injuries, just send the doctor home. Don't go to the hospital so late."

Lan Yin felt that he was becoming more and more like her mother, so she agreed, "I understand. Come back soon."

Kelesel nodded.

Lan Yin left the auction house with Terraris and the mermaid in a lively manner, under many envious and jealous eyes.

"Your Excellency, you are finally finished."

Pike saw the mermaid in Terraris's arms and quickly got out of the car. "How many credits does a fish that big cost?"

He looked again and saw that Keleser was gone. He was suddenly incredulous: "You didn't pawn the Archon there, did you?"

Lan Yin felt that he was a natural comedian and couldn't help but ask, "Do you think Terraris and I can beat him?"

"Uh!" Pike hesitated, then said without hesitation: "Captain, I'll help you!"

Terraris couldn't bear to see his subordinates being so attentive, but he was forced to accept Pike's help and placed the mermaid in the back position.

And he didn't sit in the passenger seat, but sat next to Lan Yin.

After Parker waited for them to get in the car, he got in the driver's seat and drove away.

The hover car was not moving fast, but the sky outside had already darkened.

Lan Yin tapped his knee lightly and suddenly asked Terraris, "What do you think of the 'rat' that the law enforcement officers want to catch?"

"Are you curious about this?" Terraris asked him.

Lan Yin chuckled: "Of course, even if I don't participate in such an exciting matter, I have to discuss it."

"What's more..." He looked at the seat opposite him and smiled even more charmingly: "The rat has already sneaked up, I can also ask him face to face what happened."

Terraris had already punched towards the void.

Lan Yin leaned back and looked calmly at the female insect that appeared out of nowhere on the seat opposite.

"Sir! Be careful!" Pike was terrified and couldn't help shouting.

The hovercraft stopped urgently.

Lan Yin said calmly, "Don't worry, he can't move."

As a 3S male insect, it is easy for him to use mental power to control female insects of lower levels than himself.

Terraris took a closer look and found that the female insect's eyes were indeed blurry and it looked like it was not quite clear-headed.

He immediately suppressed the other party.

The car door opened immediately, and the guards appeared from nowhere. They took out black handcuffs and put them on the female insect. They said to Lan Yin, "Sir, this is a 2S-level female insect. It seems to have the ability to become invisible. How do you want to deal with it?"

Lan Yin said, "He is of no use to me. Send him to Kelesel."

"Yes." The guards responded and were about to take the insects away with their comrades.

Lan Yin suddenly said, "Wait."

They stopped and looked at Lan Yin in confusion.

Lan Yin smiled at them and said, "Leave a bug to listen to what happens, and then come back and tell me what happened."

Everyone looked at him helplessly, but agreed.

They have figured out what kind of insect Lord Lan Yin is these days. He always wants to go and see what's going on in other insects' homes, and he especially likes to hear about things happening in other insects' homes.

However, he has a good personality, takes care of everyone, and provides them with free spiritual comfort. Everyone likes and loves him very much, and is willing to meet his requests as long as they do not betray the empire or commit a crime.

After they left, Lan Yin urged Parker to continue driving.

Parker drove the car and said with some guilt, "I'm sorry, sir. If I had been more careful while waiting, he wouldn't have gotten in the car and almost put you in danger."

Lan Yin shook his head: "No, this has nothing to do with you. He should have followed us out."

The female insect wanted to escape from the pursuit of law enforcement, so following them was the best option, but she didn't expect to be discovered by them.

Pike was puzzled. "Sir, it was so thrilling just now. How did you find him in the car? After all, he was invisible."

"I am a male insect, of course I rely on mental power. And not only I discovered it, but Terraris also discovered it. He has been waiting for my order." Lan Yin looked at Terraris.

Terraris said, "I am very sensitive to his presence. Although he didn't look at us and tried his best to hide his presence, I sensed a faint trace of malice."

"Maybe he didn't target any of us bugs, but this hint of malice exposes him."
