Chapter 2 (2/2)
On the other end, Vincent looked at the information in his hands, his beautiful face full of frost. The security guard in black involuntarily looked in his direction and broke out in a cold sweat.
”Did you follow me again?”
Rather than saying that Rand's voice was full of anger, it would be more accurate to say it was full of fatigue.
Vincent did not even answer his question.
”Leave the Blue Moon Coast, I will send someone to pick you up right away.”
”Hey, I have already left, you don't need—”
Rand heard the busy signal on the other end of the phone, sighed deeply, then angrily slammed his cell phone onto the pa.s.senger seat.
He still drove the car just as before, immersed in his emotions, he naturally does not notice that on the highway that connects the Blue Moon Coast with the surrounding cities, there is no one vehicle coming or going except for his own car.
Blue Moon Coast—
The body of the mermaid was fished out by taciturn military personnel.
The extremely bright portable spotlight illuminates the surface of the reef that is covered with a blue water-repellent cloth. The corpse that rests on top of it is bathed in white light.
The researcher had an ashen complexion as he stretched out his plastic gloved hand and turned the merman over. He brushed away the thick strands of seaweed toward the other side and then gasped a mouthful of chilly air.
”This...”
Another person came over and looked at the thing's appearance under the light, and his body shuddered.
There is a wound on the back of the merman's skull. No, this description is too inaccurate.
To be precise, the rear side of the merman's skull is split open.
Just like the husk of a ripened nut split in half, the merman's skull was smoothly split open in a long and narrow crack.
There was no sign of blood, no brains spilling out everywhere, the crack was abnormally clean.
”Oh, don't tell me this is true... G.o.d, ah... it broke right through the sh.e.l.l...”
The one behind him stumbled back two steps, as if the corpse in front of him would come back to life, and was frightened into falling onto the floor.
”Calm down a little Steve,” the researchers wrinkled his brows and spoke. If not for his voice being too rough, it would appear that even he was calm, ”No, it's not a broken sh.e.l.l.”
He suddenly pried open the merman's skull with his hand— Theoretically, an extremely hard skull should be pried open very effortlessly, just like an eggsh.e.l.l.
Something that had been left inside the skull was revealed, a pale yellow fetal sac, and if it was full, it should be the size of a fist as well as the remaining half of the body in the fetal sac.
Gray slender body, circular pattern.
If Rand was here, he should be able to see at a glance that this thing is almost exactly the same as the one in his water bottle. The only difference is that the thing that appears before the eyes of the researchers only has the skin present, the bright red flesh, and blue blood is nowhere to be found.
The researchers' complexions went as gray as the dead.
”The parasitic eggs that we left in the body of the Experimental Body No. 7371 have not hatched. On the contrary, after Experimental Subject 7371 devoured the parasitic egg, it escaped by changing into the larval body.”
”Devouring? That's impossible, that project has never once been successful... ”
The coward, known as Steve, began to speak in a panic. He didn't want to no matter what, or to say, he didn't dare to imagine it all.”
”Go report it,” the researcher looked at Steve in extreme despair. ”We have let the world's most sinister and powerful creation come to the human world.”
(TN: Next chapter will be up today too. Because it's like short, super short. Like I didn't even have to scroll the page down to read the entire thing short. Anyways I got some more help from Cheonsa_I_BL and updated the novelupdates page, so there will be an updated summary on Wattpad too complete with warnings and some more tags.)
