CHAPTER 92

Chapter 92: Deep Sea (XVI)

Under Blair's questioning, Mu Sheng shook his head, indicating he felt no discomfort, and said, "Didn't you confirm it? The reagents are harmless to me. I don't feel any discomfort."

When the plan was finalized, Blair had thoroughly checked and explained every detail that could potentially harm Mu Sheng, including the reagents, which were all completely safe.

The "lure the snake out of its hole" plan was something Blair had proactively brought up to Mu Sheng and the merman.

At that time, if it weren't for Mu Sheng's intervention, Blair and the merman might have ended up in a deadly confrontation the moment they met.

But since Mu Sheng was present,

The merman only continued to look at the little fish with disapproval and resentment, occasionally casting a murderous glare at the suddenly appearing blonde researcher.

Blair, on the other hand, kept his gaze entirely on Mu Sheng, smiling at the little fish as if he were the only person in the world, as though even looking at the merman would dirty his eyes.

In this eerie atmosphere, Mu Sheng listened to Blair's entire plan and the truth revealed afterward.

Blair casually mentioned that the murderer who had killed two people in the institute was Kwon, the assistant he had brought into the institute from his family.

Mu Sheng had just been returned to the ecological tank by the elusive merman, and with a fresh memory of the killer he had just seen, he could confirm, after some comparison, that Blair's claim was very likely true.

Everything matched up.

Blair's plan was also quite thorough, from subtly pushing Kwon to execute the framing plan, to pre-arranging the reagent formulas and related materials, and using methods to "control" the variables of the scene, like the merman, to force Kwon into making a decision...

The only thing Mu Sheng couldn't understand was why Blair had proactively approached him for this plan.

It was as if Blair knew he was currently searching for the murderer.

Moreover, Blair's plan seemed to have been set with the assumption that the merman cared about Mu Sheng's safety and thoughts, and that he would inevitably take action and cooperate.

In Xiao Li's view, who had the most interactions with them, the merman also seemed to be somewhat unfamiliar with Mu Sheng—at most, the merman might have a one-sided liking for the beautiful blue-tailed mermaid.

However, Blair's tone implied that the merman and Mu Sheng had a close relationship.

The feeling of being seen through was very unpleasant, especially when it involved the little fish.

The merman scowled and immediately questioned Mu Sheng's situation, asking, "Why should I trust a scheming human? There's no benefit to you doing this."

"What makes you think you have the right to make me pretend to be under your control?"

Blair, who had been focusing on Mu Sheng, shifted his gaze to the merman, and his smile instantly became insincere. His tone turned cold: "If you prefer another method for me to make you 'cooperate,' I can arrange that too."

The merman scoffed, "Arrogant human, are you threatening me? Feel free to try it now."

It didn't believe that a human could have the means to suppress it.

Blair replied, "I will maintain a smile to avoid alarming others."

Mu Sheng bit his lip. The merman fell silent, and Blair paused for a moment before providing Mu Sheng with a convincing reason:
