Mermaid Feeding Rules - Chapter 85
Since the last conversation, Boyce and Garcia have become a little colder from Boyce.
Boyce occasionally took time from the institute to visit Collins, but Collins basically ignored most of the researchers at the institute, and only Boyce could occasionally get a few responses.
But almost half of what Collins and Boyce mentioned involved the s-24, and he wanted to see him.
“Can’t I go see him?” Collins looked at Boyce with real hope in his eyes, “I can go and feed him, don’t you all like to feed manfish?”
Collins is different from those who have been injected with drugs, so sometimes lose their consciousness and are emotionally manipulated by the merman’s body.
He did not have any inhuman characteristics, but the original consciousness never appeared again, as if it was gradually eroded by the consciousness that appeared in him now, and turned into a completely different person.
Boyce had vaguely mentioned the idea of letting him leave the institute several times between the two chats, but Collins’s attitude was clear, he would never leave s-24.
Boyce just thought it was absurd. He didn’t even know the name of the blue mermaid, and he was still called the number given to him by the laboratory.
Collins, however, acted as if they were a deeply affectionate couple.
Boyce and Anthony negotiated that, regardless of Collins’ wishes, he would leave s-24 with him first.
Before the ship’s logistical departure from the Institute, Louis found the Institute.
Boyce has always been very curious about this man, who is probably the leader of the mermaid in Garcia’s mouth. In Anthony and Ivey’s mouth, a man in his forties can’t actually tell his age. He looks very young, probably Arriving in a hurry, he still had a bit of exhaustion on his face. After arriving, he nodded lightly in Boyce’s direction and then turned his head to answer the words of the people around him.
Regarding the other “sofia” of the institute, Lewis also held a similar attitude to that of Boyce. The existence of mermaids is quite obscure in human society. Boyce was the first one after he met Hearst.
As for the other Collins, Lewis only had some vague impressions, but he felt that this young master did not seem to be someone who would be tempted by mermaids. After he knew that he might be the sofia of s-24, he didn’t pay attention to it anymore.
On the evening of the day Louis arrived at the institute, Boyce and Louis officially met, and the chat between them focused more on the mermaid.
In the past few contacts through the communicator, Boyce faintly noticed his negative attitude towards the relationship between the mermaid and “sofia”, and after the meeting, it became more obvious.
Although Louis did not try to dissuade Boyce from being with Garcia, Boyce could occasionally see from his eyebrows that he was not optimistic about the relationship between one person and one fish.
Boyce inadvertently mentioned Collins when he was talking to him.
“Tomorrow, the logistics ship will leave. I want Anthony to send him out of here, which may change his current state.” Boyce frowned, and then repeated Collins’ previous state in his eyes.
“He hasn’t left yet?” Boyce was stunned when he saw Louis, “Is that merman tricked into agreeing to promise?”
Boyce nodded.
Louis was silent for a moment: “Let him go see that mermaid.”
Boyce heard him say, “Collins won’t change back.”
“Why?” Boyce asked subconsciously.
“Didn’t he tell you?” Louis looked at him, Boyce saw some pity in his eyes, and some insight into everything, “Transformation is irreversible.”
“Conversion?”
“There are two ways to transform a merman.”
Boyce had indeed heard Garcia mention it.
Louis glanced at him, but did not continue to explain, but asked another question: “Do you know why the mermaid must complete the transformation?”
“…to be able to spend a longer time with your partner.” Boyce noticed Louis’ expression, and the voice in his mouth became lighter and more uncertain.
“It’s just an unimportant reason.”
Boyce heard him speak: “Court, estrus, transformation… The ultimate goal is to multiply the ethnic group.”
“The original purpose of transformation is to transform human beings, and only after transformation can we breed offspring.”
“One reason for the increased lifespan is that when humans are the mother, the lifespan that is too short for merman cannot successfully wait for the development of merman eggs to mature.”
The reason why the transformation is divided into two is because the transformation is irreversible for the people who are classified as sofia.
But not all humans are willing to stay at the bottom of the sea and live with an alien.
Mermaid will seek the consent of human beings in the matter of transformation. This is also one of the reasons, ensuring that human beings are willing to stay by their side.
But there will always be people who don’t want to.
So there is a second way of conversion.
“The second?” Boyce thought of Collins subconsciously.
“After the transformation, human memory will remain but consciousness will be greatly changed, and the center of gravity of the whole person will only be a mermaid.”
“But because the offspring produced by the second transformation method are not as qualified as the first, the mermaid will instinctively prefer the first transformation.”
But that doesn’t mean they won’t use the second one.
“What kind of group is sofia?” After a moment of silence, Boyce asked another question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
“It’s a human who is completely indistinguishable from other people,” Lewis said.
“It’s just that the mermaid feels special.”
“Can be transformed by a merman.” Louis paused, looking at Boyce, “Any merman can do it.”
He seemed to emphasize: “Each mermaid can also transform all human beings that can be classified as sofia.”
But it can only be successfully transformed once, whether it is a human or a mermaid.
Louis was once brought back to the merman’s lair by Hearst, where there are records left by predecessors, and there is indeed a case of a merman transforming into another merman’s partner.
“Garcia told me that each merman’s sofia is unique.”
“In fact, that person is just the most suitable object selected by instinct, in order to give birth to better offspring.”
“But you and I are both men…” Boyce looked away in a panic, but his ears couldn’t help but pay attention to Louis’s words.
“Men don’t have children.” Boyce heard him laugh. “Mermaid eggs can’t be born either.”
“But they themselves are creatures driven by instinct…”
“However, sofia only affects mermen, not humans.”
Louis turned his head to look at Boyce: “Will you fall in love with him because you are his sofia?”
Won’t.
Boyce can answer with certainty.
His feelings for Garcia came from the merman himself, and the heartbeat that gradually began to germinate when they got along in the past few months.
Not just because of the identity of a “sofia” who has been put on by a merman.
“You like him,” Louis asked. “And do you think he likes you?”
“Not because of instinct, but because of pure love for you.”
