"Ansheng, how could it be S Class?" Xu Qingyuan put the documents back in place, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Perhaps because he was too close to Xu Zhuolin, he heard Xu Qingyuan's murmured words.
“Who is Ansheng?” Seeing Xu Qingyuan staring intently at the paper, Xu Zhuolin, though dismissive, still snatched the document from Xu Qingyuan's tightly clenched hands and took a closer look.
“Oh, isn't this the latest species of mermaid caught from the Pacific Ocean some time ago?” Looking at the image on the paper, Xu Zhuolin pushed up his glasses on his nose. “This mermaid seems quite special; it has a camouflage system that changes its coloration according to the surrounding environment. It would make a great test subject.”
Xu Zhuolin spoke with a hint of excitement and anticipation, as if he had seen a potentially valuable biological sample for research. He is passionate about scientific research and is particularly curious about this rare mermaid.
"However, why is it classified as S Class?" Xu Qingyuan asked, furrowing his brow.
Xu Zhuolin smiled and explained, "Based on the information we currently have, this mermaid not only has unique protective color abilities, but may also possess other undiscovered special qualities. Its rarity makes it an extremely valuable research subject. Designating it as S Class is also to ensure that we can give it enough attention and resource investment."
Through his glasses, Xu Zhuolin saw his grandnephew still staring intently at the page with the mermaid.
Xu Zhuolin continued, "The equipment in the research institute is very comprehensive, which allows for a more thorough examination and observation of this mermaid, in order to gain a deeper understanding of its unique ecological habits, physiological characteristics, and behavioral patterns."
He paused for a moment and then continued, "The initial Rating of this mermaid was only C-level, and it behaved very gently when it was caught, showing no signs of aggression towards humans. That's why it was sent to us. However, after this incident, the research headquarters has decided to send it back to the Pacific headquarters and provide it with more careful care and protection."
At this moment, Xu Zhuolin's tone of speech is very calm and soothing, as if he is discussing nothing more than an insignificant experimental sample.
In the Glacier Research Institute around the world, every animal captured from the ocean or elsewhere is first sent to the Pacific base for initial Rating, and then sent to specialized research institutes for further study.
Ansheng's initial Rating was only C-level. It seems that the people from the Provincial Branch also discovered traces of Ansheng being raised by humans, not a wild mermaid, and since he did not show any aggressive behavior, they downgraded him and sent him here.
For the past decade, the Glacier Research Institute has been conducting large-scale search and capture operations in oceans and lakes around the world since the discovery of the first confirmed mermaid. They have invested a large amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources in an attempt to unveil the mystery of the mermaid.
However, this move triggered strong resistance and attacks from the mermaids.
As a special species with a certain level of intelligence, the mermaids realized that they were facing a survival crisis. So, they adopted various strategies to protect themselves and launched a counterattack against humans.
Some news media often report incidents of humans being attacked by mermaids at the seaside, and related videos and reports are flooding major platforms. These chilling events have sparked a global social panic, with fear rapidly spreading to every corner of the earth.
People are filled with fear of this sudden unknown creature. After all, the existence of mermaids is beyond their previous understanding, and no one can explain why mermaids would suddenly appear in the human field of vision.
This uncertainty makes people fearful and feel helpless against the threat of the mermaid.
"Deportation? Are you saying Ansheng is going to be deported back to Pacific headquarters," Xu Qingyuan, wearing a white coat, stood to the side, looking slightly puzzled.
"You still have the nerve to say that, after such a big incident, you even alerted the Federation Investigation Bureau." Thinking of this, Xu Zhuolin became even angrier and casually threw the materials that Xu Qingyuan had just organized out again.
Xu Qingyuan: "......"
When Xu Qingyuan came out of Xu Zhuolin's office, it had already been an hour, and for more than half an hour, he had been picking up scattered documents from the floor and even swept the floor himself.
"Hey, bro, I heard that your little mermaid is going to be sent back to the research institute headquarters."
Lin Moyu had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Xu Qingyuan come out, he stepped forward and nudged him with his arm, greeting him. "What do you think?"
A hint of speechlessness crossed Xu Qingyuan's fair face. "What do you mean by my little mermaid? That was clearly a man-eating mermaid."
"Food for the mermaid, you still go to feed it every day," Lin Moyu's face showed a disdainful expression.
"Mind your own business!" Xu Qingyuan elbowed Lin Moyu in the chest, straightened her white collar, and then left.
"I'm going." Lin Moyu covered her chest, her face contorted in pain. "Why are you getting more and more aggressive?"
When Lin Moyu caught up, Xu Qingyuan finally reacted with a puzzled expression. "How did you know Ansheng was going to be sent back?"
Lin Moyu rubbed her chest and asked in confusion, "Ansheng is who?"
Xu Qingyuan remained silent and continued walking forward.
Lin Moyu continued to walk alongside Xu Qingyuan, looking at Xu Qingyuan's cold face with suspicion, then opened his mouth in surprise, "You're not going to name that mermaid Ansheng, are you!"
Xu Qingyuan gave Lin Moyu a cold glance, then quickly turned away as if to acknowledge his statement.
Calmed down, Lin Moyu also took a moment to gather himself. "You didn't come yesterday. In fact, preparations for the repatriation started last night. Everyone in the office knows about this matter now; after all, there are not many Test Subjects who can be forcibly sent back to the Pacific Base."
Indeed, those who can be forcibly repatriated to the Pacific Base are mostly S-Class or A-Class. Only these difficult-to-tame mermaids, which hold significant research value, would be sent back to headquarters.
Unknowingly, Xu Qingyuan and Lin Moyu arrived at the door of Cabin 12.
"I'm telling you, the S-Class Test Subject, there are hardly any other research institutes besides the Pacific Headquarters that have one. This time, our institute has..."
Before the conversation was finished, Lin Moyu noticed the man in front of her, stopped in her tracks, and stood in front of a door.
Feeling uneasy, Lin Moyu just glanced up and immediately put on an awkward smile, then slowly stepped back, took a few steps, and with a sigh, slipped away directly in front of Xu Qingyuan.
Upon seeing this, Xu Qingyuan also shook his head and smiled, then opened the door again and walked in.
