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

CHAPTER 95

Chapter 95: Deep Sea (XIX)

When Blair brought the clothes for the young man, Mu Sheng cooperatively changed into them. Compared to the clothes he was wearing before, this outfit was more modest and resembled the attire of the middle-class people Mu Sheng had seen on television in his room.

Perhaps the place they were heading to next required a disguise, as nobles would attract more attention and scrutiny there. Nevertheless, the fabric of the clothes was also of very high quality and would not harm the deity's delicate skin in the slightest.

As Mu Sheng was led by Blair onto a medium-sized yacht, he turned and asked, "Isn't Bo Sheng coming with us?" He had always found it strange that, although the merman was detained on site, the hidden mermaid had not made a move.

Upon seeing Blair communicating with Bo Sheng, his question was answered. In a certain sense, Bo Sheng was no longer purely human. He had cooperated with Blair and even intervened at a critical moment to stop the mermaid, allowing the blond noble to take him away.

Blair's pace slowed. Unlike his previous masked performances at the research institute, in his private moments, he showed his genuine emotions openly, affectionately and naturally.

Blair appeared somewhat displeased, even pouting, and his somewhat childish gestures did not seem out of place on his face. "Doesn't Mu Sheng know that mentioning him in front of me makes me unhappy?"

The young man was taken aback, and after some thought, he replied, "Why would it make you unhappy? Isn't he your ally?" He assumed that mentioning other high-ranking deep-sea creatures would make Blair unhappy.

"I don't recall having interacted with him before. How could he stop the mermaid?"

Blair explained, "It's different. The status of an ally only applies when dealing with deep-sea creatures." He continued to answer Mu Sheng's question patiently. "Of course, you haven't met him. Bo Sheng has always been stationed at the Alliance's military department. He was once near death during a mission and happened to be encountered by me."

Ultimately, Bo Sheng chose to undergo the experiment, and after success, he showed a significant difference from other masked individuals. Bo Sheng's personal will was not erased, and he was able to act autonomously and have his own life. Blair speculated that under the influence of divine power, humans with different talents would show varying results; the stronger the will and higher the talent, the lower the likelihood of being alienated.

Bo Sheng's "loss of control" and his power made Blair cautious, and after that incident, he halted all related experiments. Bo Sheng had always kept his promise of confidentiality and had not mentioned to anyone what terrifying technology and ambitions Blair, who was seen by others as a mere academic hobbyist, truly possessed.

Bo Sheng's real purpose for coming to the research institute was initially to inquire about Blair's technology because one of his trusted subordinates was near death. He was prepared for a fruitless visit. However, he did not expect to encounter the newly captured "mermaid."

Blair's lips were pursed in displeasure. In fact, Bo Sheng had not been entirely unaffected. For instance, he had become more aloof and marginalized in character, and... he had developed a natural pursuit of the divine.

Initially, he resisted and doubted, but eventually, he gave up the resistance and willingly fell into indulgence. If the situation involved someone other than Mu Sheng, Bo Sheng might not have acted the same way when faced with something that could cause him to lose control at any moment.

Mu Sheng nodded, understanding the reason. He then looked at Blair and noticed that Blair was deliberately avoiding answering questions about Bo Sheng's whereabouts.
