The Fallen Merman Chapter 125

Published at 30th of January 2023 07:40:49 AM

Bai Chunian pressed Golden Silk Spider with one hand, and looked back at Patissier who was attacked. He was unable to take care of both at the same time, so he put Golden Silk Spider in the cleaning supply room, held both his shoulders and instructed, “The killer might not have left yet, you stay here and don't move.”

He tapped the suppressor on the back of Golden Silk Spider's neck, a delicate device so sensitive that if an inmate tried to disassemble it, it would instantly send an alarm to the communicator of the guard in charge of his cell. 

After the suppressor had been touched by Bai Chunian, the red light turned on, indicating that the alarm had been issued.

“Don't come out.” Bai Chunian settled Golden Silk Spider, and immediately rushed out of the cleaning supply room, helped up Patissier from the ground and pulled out the syringe stuck on the back of his neck.

Patissier twitched all over, his hands tightly gripping Bai Chunian's collar, like a drowning person grasping drifting wood. “My… glands are very painful.”

Bai Chunian picked up the syringe on the ground, and the pink liquid inside was very familiar to him; it was an Ac enhancer, which could directly promote an experimental subject to the growth stage.

“What happened?” Bai Chunian picked up Patissier, held him in his arms and ran to the injection room. Pulling out a scalpel from the medicine cabinet, he cut a wound under Patissier's gland, hoping the flowing blood would flush out some of the drug, but such remedies were of little help.

“I wanted to…change… the mosquito coil for him…I found no one on the bed…so I went to turn over his quilt…suddenly someone covered my mouth…Stabbed this into…me…” Patissier's black pupils began to spread toward the whites of his eyes. Originally, only the black part looked like hexagonal compound eyes. The whites of his eyes gradually disappeared and soon his eyes had entirely changed into dark red compound eyes.

Bai Chunian guessed that the killer from the Red-Throated Bird organization probably believed that Golden Silk Spider was in the ward and stabbed the wrong person with a needle.

An Ac enhancer could make an experimental subject in the cultivation stage grow to the maturity stage immediately, but could also catalyze an experimental subject in the maturity stage to progress straight to the deterioration stage. 

Even Bai Chunian had never seen any test subjects in the deterioration stage, because once they reach deterioration stage they would go out of control, so when the test subjects showed signs of deterioration, the Institute would throw them into a sulfuric acid pool to dispose of them in the weak period before the deterioration (because an experimental subject at this time may have high temperature resistance ability and this would cause incineration failure). Once an experimental subject entered the deterioration period, it was equivalent to an item that had passed its shelf life and must be disposed of.

It seems that the Red-Throated Bird organization had put a lot of effort into killing Golden Silk Spider. If this needle had really been injected into Golden Silk Spider, there would only be two results. One was that Golden Silk Spider would reach the deterioration stage and get killed by the armed police, and the other was that Golden Silk Spider would run out of control and escape from prison, both of which would mean the secret that Golden Silk Spider held would be buried forever.

No one thought things would turn out like this.

Judging from the current situation, it was inevitable that Patissier would deteriorate, but it was a difference between sooner or later. Things would be really difficult to deal with when he does deteriorate. 

Bai Chunian put his hand on the suppressor on the back of Patissier's neck. As long as he pulled the suppressor hard, the tiny bomb inside the suppressor would destroy the gland and kill Patissier instantly.

Patissier clutched Bai Chunian's collar tightly, climbed up weakly, and put his arms around his neck. He kneeled on the ground begging, “Don't kill me…I don't want to die…Please…you are very capable, right? Help me… help me… I don't want to reduce my sentence anymore, I can stay here to cook, I will never go out again…”

Bai Chunian's breathing became heavy, and his cold fingers pressed against the suppressor on the back of Patissier's neck but he couldn't move. In the past, he could kill other experimental subjects without blinking, but Patissier was different. He was an omega who was so cowardly that he got overwhelmed and ran to the prison to surrender himself, eager to reduce his sentence and live in the sun like a human one day in the future.

In the few seconds of hesitation, the situation had unknowingly become out of control. 

Patissier's hand grabbed his forearm, and the skin that patissier's palm had touched began to melt, rotting into colorful pus. The pus dripped on the ground and turned into candy, one by one bouncing off the ground.

The belated strong pain finally made Bai Chunian wake up. He shook off Patissier and took a few steps back holding his forearm. His back slammed hard against the wall. However, there was no blood, and all the injured flesh was covered in rainbow syrup, dripping with sticky sugar.

“Ah…ah…” Bai Chunian squeezed his upper arm, his face twisted and his head raised, panting, the pain of burning and rotting skin was unbearable even for him.

Du Mo stood at the entrance of the stairs and pointed his pistol at Bai Chunian in the brightly lit corridor. “Raise your hands! How did you get out?”

The situation was urgent, Du Mo didn't know who to trust, so he could only ask someone to report the riot in the prison to the warden first.

Bai Chunian hissed and sucked in the cold air, and raised his chin towards Patissier who was kneeling on the ground. “Don't point at me, point at him… Hiss, it's useless, it's useless to even point at someone now, you tell the armed police not to come over. Just surround him from a distance, watch him, and then request the International Police Department bring howitzers and anesthesia drones for support.” 

Bell-bird, who was in charge of the prisoners in the maximum security area, also brought a team of armed police officers dressed in guard uniforms, to block their way from the other side of the corridor with guns in both hands.

Golden Silk Spider was under Bell-bird's supervision, so after the suppressor in the back of his neck set an alarm, the first person to receive the alarm was the Bell-bird.

“Just in time.” The pain eased after Bai Chunian took a break. He held the wall as he walked to the door of the cleaning supply room, dragged Golden Silk Spider out, and pushed him towards Bell-bird. “Lock him in the confinement room, don't wander around here.”

He wasn't sure how many Red-Throated Bird killers were there, nor did he know how many Ac enhancers they had in their hands. If they made another surprise attack, the prison guards would be overwhelmed. 

“Just trap him here, and wait for the police officers to bring proper equipment to contain him. Don't get close to him.” Bai Chunian bit the hem of his shirt and tore a piece of cloth off to wrap the wound.

Du Mo still didn't put down his gun. “Where are you going?!”

Bai Chunian had already taken off his prison uniform jacket, leaving only a black vest. He shattered the glass of the ward with one kick, bent the iron fence with all his strength with a kick, and clambered on the window with both hands. On the upper edge, the muscles tightened and the whole person rolled up.

“Hey!” Du Mo immediately gave an order on the walkie-talkie, “Watch him closely! The others are guarding S-218 and I'll contact the police station.” 

The sniper outside the custody building received instructions to kill as soon as the target was determined. Bai Chunian climbed up on the outer wall of the building with countless searchlights and many muzzles aiming at him, but his climbing movements were very fast and flexible. He predicted the sniper's shooting position and avoided it. He then jumped in through the windows of the upper two floors of the custody building.

The corridors on every floor were brightly lit and sirens blared in the sky.

Bai Chunian had studied the internal structure of each building in the prison before he came in, and after he came in, he confirmed his analysis on the spot. According to the direction that the shadow escaped just now, Bai Chunian was sure that he had not escaped from the prison, because the outside had already been surrounded by armed police with nowhere to sneak away.

The killer might have discovered that he had attacked the wrong person. If he was threatened by the Red-Throated Bird to kill Golden Silk Spider, he would even sacrifice his life to kill Golden Silk Spider. 

Bai Chunian pricked up his ears and listened for the sounds of breathing and footsteps covered by the sirens.

He slowly moved forward along the corridor, without making a sound when placing his feet, just like a lion that was quietly approaching, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

The door of one of the wards was tightly closed, which aroused Bai Chunian's vigilance. He walked slowly to the door, and a pool of viscous bright red blood gradually seeped out from under the crack of the door.

The moment Bai Chunian broke through the door, the people inside suddenly fired, and five consecutive bullets pierced through the door and flew towards Bai Chunian. 

Bai Chunian was born with a fast reaction speed. When he heard the trigger being pressed behind the door, he immediately turned over and got down to avoid it, but the speed of the bullets was still much faster than him, and the last bullet was still deeply nailed into his ribs.

However, the attacker behind the door also temporarily disturbed his hearing because of the explosion of these guns. Bai Chunian kicked the door open, and the door panel suddenly knocked the killer behind the door back three steps.

Bai Chunian rushed over and grabbed him. His opponent was not weak either, being about the same size as Bai Chunian. At first glance, he looked like someone who'd trained and he had a gun in his hand.

On the ground lay the body of a prison guard whose gun was snatched from his gun belt. 

“Don't meddle in someone else's business.” The killer stared at him coldly, his eyes showed no wavering and that he was ready to die.

“I understand that you want to protect your family, but if you hinder my mission, I can't let you do what you want.” Bai Chunian squatted slightly, protecting his lower jaw with his left hand and his torso with his right hand. This was a fight without the help of glands.

The opponent was an Australian dragonfly alpha and his inherent ability was attack speed. He moved extremely fast, not to mention he had a gun in his hand.

The bullet wound under Bai Chunian's rib was still bleeding, and he couldn't get any advantage in front of an opponent whose strong side was speed. 

After trying a few tricks, Dragonfly sneered. “Left-handed?”

So he attacked Bai Chunian's slightly weaker right side more ruthlessly. Bai Chunian's right hand was corroded and had not recovered. It was difficult to guard against the attacks, he was too slow for a second, and got punched where he had the bullet hole between his ribs. A mouthful of warm and stuffy blood choked in his throat.

If only Lu Yan was here, that little guy was faster and more cunning in melee combat. Whether it was him or Rimbaud, both recognized Lu Yan's melee talent.

Knowing that he was at a disadvantage, Bai Chunian grabbed the broken door and ran out. The killer was on a killing spree and pounced at Bai Chunian again, pointing his gun at his throat. 

Bai Chunian firmly controlled his wrist and gun, trying to keep the muzzle away from his throat. He suddenly exerted force with his elbow and jabbed into the killer's elbow joint, forcing him to waste a bullet.

The bullet hit the tiled floor next to Bai Chunian's face, and shards of broken porcelain scraped several thin bloodstains on the faces of the two of them.

With the gun's magazine emptied, Dragonfly simply threw away the gun and focused on hand-to-hand combat. Bai Chunian didn't let him get his wish; grabbing his entire arm, he used a shoulder throw, and threw Dragonfly down the stairwell.

Dragonfly held on to Bai Chunian desperately, and the two rolled down the stairwell together, the hydraulic door closing automatically. They suddenly entered a place with little light and it would take a while for human eyes to adapt to it, so they were left in a dark place where they couldn't even see their fingers. 

The position where Dragonfly fell was lower than that of Bai Chunian. This fall also made him sober. Instead of fighting with Bai Chunian to the death, he groped his way downstairs.

He hid in the darkness, planning to make it hard for Bai Chunian to locate him, but there was no sound behind him. Dragonfly thought he was not being chased, so he concentrated on running down.

Suddenly he felt a chill on his neck, it felt like a sharp object had slid down his carotid artery.

He touched it and felt a warm sticky liquid stain his fingers that smelled like blood. 

Bai Chunian stood silently behind him, holding a bloody blade between his fingers.

The moment he fell into the stairwell, he changed the bandage wrapped around his left eye to his right eye. The injured left eye had already recovered, and he had been wearing the bandage to hide the chip and avoid surprise inspection.

The bandaged left eye hadn't been exposed to light and was adapted to the dark. From the moment he fell into the stairwell, Bai Chunian had already known where his prey was going.

The dragonfly lost the ability to resist due to a large amount of blood loss, but he would not die in a short time. Bai Chunian held his neck with a strip of cloth and dragged the half-dead body back to the floor where they were before. He dragged the killer by his neck all the way back to the corridor in full view for all the armed police and medical staff who had gathered there, leaving a long blood trail dragging behind him. 

He threw Dragonfly to the armed police. “Still alive, can be interrogated after being cured.”

Du Mo stared blankly at Bai Chunian, who was covered in dried blood.

A siren sounded from the window, and four helicopters from the International Police Department flew at high speed to the custody building. A drone carrying a special anesthetic agent flew in through the window and fired at Patissier, who had fainted on the ground.

Bai Chunian stared at Patissier who was located by the drone which had opened the hatch to launch a special anesthetic. 

Suddenly, Patissier arched his body and a pair of translucent bee wings came out from his back.

Bai Chunian realized the danger, jumped forward, grabbed the anesthetic needle that was still ready to be launched in the drone cabin, pulled it down, rolled forward, and stabbed Patissier at the back of his neck.

Patissier suddenly raised his head, his face completely turned into a bee's, and there were many original body traits on his entire body, his wings fluttered, and a harsh buzzing sounded.

“Retreat, retreat further…Quick!” Bai Chunian was the first to react, but it was already too late. The armed policeman who was holding handcuffs close to Patissier ready to capture him had melted instantly and rotted into a pool of rainbow syrup. 

Du Mo grabbed a taser gun and aimed at him, but before he could pull the trigger, Patissier flew straight towards him with a buzzing sound.

“You idiot, you still want to confront him.” Bai Chunian pushed back Du Mo, and Patissier flew over their heads. His sharp wings cut two extremely deep ravines through the thick walls and the ceiling began to collapse.

Du Mo grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted hoarsely, “Get out of the building and hand it over to the police station!”

甜点师恶化后获得了飞行能力和范围感染能力，只要接近他某个范围内就会立刻腐烂成糖浆。After Patissier reached the deterioration stage, he gained the ability to fly and an area infection ability. As long as anyone approached a certain range around him, they would immediately melt into syrup. 

The helicopter of the International Police Department was equipped with a howitzer specially designed to deal with the experimental subjects. In one moment grenades were flying all over the sky, blasting deep pits on the ground, and scattering sand and leaves everywhere.

Patissier flew very fast, and the buildings he flew by were all melting. The surrounding buildings deformed, softened and collapsed like rotten persimmons, colorful syrup dripped out of the collapsed gaps between the buildings.

He was like a giant bee flying by the helicopters in the air, when he passed by a helicopter it turned into colored syrup together with the police officers above.

Everyone was shocked by the destructive power he showed, and Bai Chunian was no exception. The power of the deteriorating experimental body was far beyond his imagination. 

“There are only so many resident police officers, and now it's too late to dispatch from various countries.” Du Mo's fingertips were shaking, grabbing the walkie-talkie and pressing down hesitantly, “Applying to the PBB military base for help, ask the warden right now, hurry up ”

Bai Chunian took off the bandages covering his eye, took out a tiny chip from under his eyelids, and stuck it onto the combination lock of the suppressor on the back of his neck.

Three seconds later, the code was deciphered, and the suppressor fell off his neck.

Du Mo's eyes widened, and raised his pistol with a trembling hand towards the back of Bai Chunian's neck. “What do you want to do?” 

“The International Prison does not have the qualifications to supervise experimental subjects, these materials will be sent back to the IOA, and your proposal will be rejected.” Bai Chunian turned his gun away, “I advise you to immediately, right now, ask IOA for emergency help.”

The police station's high seas stationed team had already sent a request for help to the headquarters. The International Police Department could only request assistance from the PBB peacekeeping force, then the PBB should ask the IOA team closest to the International Prison to initiate assistance first.

A helicopter painted with the IOA Freedom Bird logo rose above the International Prison.

Xiao Xun leaned against the helicopter's door and aimed coldly with the sniper rifle in the air. Bi Lanxing's vines rose from the four corners of the open space, controlling Patissier at a height where he could not escape the prison walls, and gradually closed the encirclement. 

Holding a laptop, Han Xingqian stated in a low voice in the communicator, “Deterioration Patissier's J1 differentiation ability, Buzzing Wingblade: Wings' edge gained the ability to cut like a chainsaw, making its own flight unobstructed at the same time.

Deterioration Patissier's M2 differentiation ability, Honey Meltdown: Group attack type ability, randomly selects ten targets for saccharification. The targets are not limited to living bodies. When the level of the targeted person is lower than him, the person will immediately melt into syrup and die. If the level is the same as him, the target's gland energy can be used to resist saccharification. When the energy is exhausted, the target will rot into syrup and die completely. If the level is higher than him, saccharification will not occur. Unless there is physical contact, the contact surface will be saccharified.”

Rimbaud landed on the ground with a micro-electric current emitting from each hand, causing a circle of blue lightning ripples on the ground, as he landed beside Bai Chunian and handed him a set of communicators.

Du Mo clenched his pistol. “You guys get ready…They might be waiting in ambush nearby, our radar can't detect it.” 

“No, I really didn't expect things to turn out like this.” The wounds on Bai Chunian's body healed as the suppressor fell off, he moved his wrist slightly, his face solemn.

“This was not in my plan at all, I have never seen a deterioration stage experimental subject, I am not sure to subdue it, this is a disaster, the mission can only end here.”
