CHAPTER 90

Chapter 90: Deep Sea (XIV)

Mu Sheng didn't have time to think about why it suddenly appeared here or why it suddenly embraced him. All his attention was now focused on the approaching spy from the research institute.

If he were discovered in such a state outside the ecological tank, he would undoubtedly be placed on the research institute's top research list. Deep-sea creatures that can freely transform into human form would never be tolerated by humans.

The attitude of the suddenly appearing male creature was much more relaxed compared to Mu Sheng's, even ignoring the approaching human. He kept his head down, his gaze entirely on the young man.

The focused gaze traced Mu Sheng's features, from his delicate curly hair, full forehead, and beautifully rounded eyes to his rounded nose tip, and finally his now rosy lips and delicate chin.

Mu Sheng: "..." Even if he was nervous, he wasn't a wooden block; he could definitely feel the scrutiny.

The male noticed that the young man's already round eyes were now even rounder, his mouth pursed, looking as if he was angry and not to be trifled with. However, the little fish's features were quite rounded, and no matter how fierce his expression looked, it didn't seem offensive at all.

Then Mu Sheng noticed that the creature briefly looked away, only to turn back within half a second, this time gazing even more intensely and even smiling.

Mu Sheng, lying against its chest, clearly felt a tremor. Perhaps fearing that it might truly anger the precious find, it kept smiling and said softly, "It's okay, nothing will happen."

With its assurance, the murderer who had just killed someone rounded the corner and suddenly turned on a powerful flashlight, shining it ahead—

In "his" perspective, there was no one in sight.

The spy was very cautious. Even in this situation, he wore an ordinary mask to conceal his entire appearance. Based on height and movement details, he was more likely to be male.

Although his facial features were not visible, Mu Sheng noted his behavioral habits and general clothing and build. He roughly ruled out Bo Sheng and his accompanying guards, as their height did not match, and the spy's movements showed signs of excessive nervousness, indicating a lack of rigorous military training.

But it's also possible that "he" was deliberately disguising himself.

The spy cautiously swept the flashlight around multiple times, including the nearby corners, but saw no suspicious figures. Only then did he relax his shoulders slightly and turn to continue handling the scene.

Mu Sheng and the suddenly appearing creature were pressed against the corner wall and brushed past the spy, but "he" did not detect their presence. It was as if they were invisible.

Mu Sheng was more certain about the identity of the creature in front of him: a merman skilled in mental control and manipulation, known from the research institute and legends. Unlike his own half-baked skills, this was a genuine high-level deep-sea creature.

But why did it suddenly appear here?

As if hearing Mu Sheng's confusion, though he could not see its face, it seemed he could hear a light laugh. The pleasant voice that had once appeared in his "dream" said, "You can speak if you want to, at any time."

Mu Sheng glanced at the murderer, who was busy and had not noticed the movement, and understood what the real merman meant. Hesitating, he asked, "Was it you who was following me before?"

The merman fell silent before admitting, "Sorry for frightening you."

Its true form was not here, and there were notable figures in the research institute. It had intended to protect Mu Sheng more covertly but did not expect him to be so perceptive.
