Infinite Flow Cannon Fodder NPC Just Wants to Stay Alive Chapter 24

CHAPTER 91

Chapter 91: Deep Sea (XV)

Mu Sheng originally only had suspicions but is now convinced of his guess—

The culprit behind the continuous murders of two humans in the research institute, including the middle-aged administrative man and last night's victim, is definitely Kwon.

Kwon has the capability and connections to provide sufficient information to the poaching group and holds a certain status.

He is unfamiliar with surgical anatomy, being an outsider in medicine and biology.

He can use his position to cover up any potential flaws.

Even his usual habits match the characteristics of the suspect that Mu Sheng has observed.

Mu Sheng knew that Kwon planned to pin both attacks on deep-sea creatures, but he didn't expect that the unfortunate scapegoat would be himself.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the other researchers seemed to have heard something extremely absurd.

Xiao Li furrowed his brows deeply, thinking that Kwon might have gone mad: "Do you know what you're saying? Although deep-sea creatures don't have lawyers, that doesn't mean you can say whatever you want without consequences."

Kwon usually acts according to Xiao Li's mood. Given Mr. Blair's attitude towards Mu Sheng, Kwon would need considerable courage to direct the blame at the Blue-tailed Merman.

Xiao Li tried to analyze rationally while putting aside emotional factors: "Mu Sheng's data is all out in the open. Tell me, how can you accuse him of anything? How could a merman grow legs and travel so far to kill someone he doesn't even know?"

Kwon, unperturbed by the collective anger, responded, "You are the ones who know the advanced deep-sea creatures best. Don't you know that these intelligent beings have special abilities?"

When Kwon said this, everyone's gaze involuntarily shifted to the merman.

Indeed, the merman's ability to control water, for instance, completely defies human scientific laws.

Kwon continued, "The merman was brought back together with the deep-sea crown. The crew said they accidentally ventured into the territory while lost. Can a defenseless merman safely live in the most dangerous areas of deep-sea creatures?"

Kwon declared firmly, "He is an intelligent creature. His weak appearance is just a means to deceive humans. Once his abilities are sufficient to kill us, he will no longer need to disguise himself."

The staff who had previously not seen much of Mu Sheng seemed to waver, their expressions alarmed.

The psychological trauma caused by the merman over the past few days has been too profound, and many people are unable to interact normally with ordinary deep-sea creatures, let alone with a high-level deep-sea species like Mu Sheng, who closely resembles the merman described in the data.

Xiao Li and several more senior researchers remained unmoved.

Xiao Li snorted coldly: "This is just your speculation and sophistry. If you don't have concrete evidence, you should leave as soon as possible. I only believe my own eyes, not someone else's words."

Seeing that the security personnel were standing still and not making a decision, a researcher stepped forward to personally escort Kwon away for further discussion.

He had noticed that Mu Sheng, the focus of the discussion, was watching them from not far away and feared being caught up in the commotion.

Kwon sighed: "Of course, mermaids are best at mental control. Xiao Li, you and your colleagues have been influenced by prejudice and have let it affect your judgment."
