How to keep a human in captivity

Chapter 32

"Our problem?" There was indeed slight doubt in Khan's eyes.

"Yes, our question." Arthur answered patiently. He tapped on the glass, motioning Khan to insert his hand into a circular instrument.

"We can discuss my problem while strolling around the library." Arthur said, holding up a wristband that looked very sophisticated. "The premise is that you have to ensure that you will not run away."

"Mermaid, this would be an extremely tempting suggestion."

Arthur locked the bracelet to Khan's hand, and cuffed the other end to his arm.

"I must remind you that if you make any attempt to escape, the neurotoxin in this bracelet..."

"Will it kill me?"

"No, it will kill me." Arthur said without blinking, "The poisonous end is handcuffed to me."

Khan didn't know what kind of expression to make for a moment, and finally, he could only say slowly: "This is not a wise idea, mermaid."

"Necessary is never wise." Arthur seemed not to fear for his life at all, "I'll open this up if you're ready, and we can go for a walk together, like we used to The bottom of the sea is dry."

Khan's eyes softened slightly.

Then they walked out of the house together, pacing slowly along the corridors of the library.

"Then, we're going to start looking for a topic again."

"Obviously."

"If you want, you can talk to me about your goals, your plans."

"Don't you and ordinary humans think it's dangerous and unfeasible?"

"So are you willing to eliminate the unfeasible part and keep the feasible part?"

"Mermaid, you know this is impossible."

"Right, maybe you want to know the situation of your two superhuman subordinates." Arthur changed the subject, "They are doing book sorting work, in fact they are really good, two people can complete the work of ten people in a day Quantity, this is what a human friend told me."

"You asked them to organize the books?"

"Anyway, there is nothing superhumans can do here for the time being. They shouldn't be just war machines. They can do something else. In fact, no matter what they do, they are quite good."

"I guess it's not something you came up with."

"Well, these are Captain Kirk's original words."

"Let them do something else? That's too much talent."

"It's prejudice, in fact, why are you so adamant about your views on war?"

"Isn't that obvious? War would be the most efficient way to build a more perfect world."

"What is a good world to you?"

"Everything is logical and efficient. Human beings don't need to think, they just need to execute, get rid of desires, and there are no criminals."

"So you want to know what a wonderful world is to me?"

Khan remained silent. He was keenly aware that the answer might not be his favorite, but he was looking forward to it.

"As far as I'm concerned," Arthur said, "I just want to have my own human."

The answer did not come as a surprise to Khan.

"That's because you mermaids are too easily satisfied."

"That's because your goal is too lofty." Arthur replied, "You look forward to making a big change in the world, but have you ever considered that such needs are not the needs of most people, and you will fail."

"Truth is in the hands of a few."

"No, no, this world is not as bad as you think." Arthur retorted with his mermaid theory, "and humans are cuter than you think."

"This is your paranoia as a mermaid."

"Oh, come on." Arthur laughed, "As a superhuman, your prejudice against humans is much more ingrained than mine."

Khan shook his head disapprovingly.

"But why don't you try to understand the world," said Arthur, "if you've been asleep for centuries and the world has changed a lot since you woke up, and you're going Go ahead and implement your plan knowing the reality."

"No, mermaid." Khan rejected Arthur's proposal again, "I'm sorry I can't."

By this time they had come very close to the library mastermind.

Khan knows everything here.

Or that normal humans really shouldn't have him in an environment he's so familiar with.

Arthur instinctively sensed the danger. He saw his human began to pull the delicate bracelet on his hand, and Khan's strength was so amazing that the bracelet had already begun to deform.

"stop!"

Khan looked at his mermaid with a regretful look.

"Stop, please."

Arthur's voice sounded bordering on desperation, but that was all his human replied.

"I'm sorry, Arthur."

The Sirens are delighted to find that their journey is coming to an end soon.

Look what he found!

A castle in the air, oh, it looks so beautiful, it is carved out of crystal, and the siren vaguely knows that the transparent crystal-like thing is called strengthened glass.

Then he and Marvin sneaked into the castle.

There was little difficulty, since the castle was so empty and the computer apparently didn't keep Marvin out.

Then they quickly found Arthur in a small room.

This is simply awesome!

but.

"Why did you lock yourself up in such a dark place?"

This was the siren's first question, and then he asked again.

"Why are you neither frightened nor frightened when you see me?"

The siren was disappointed, expecting Arthur to scream in horror, but he got nothing, Arthur just gave him a lifeless glance.

So the Siren asked his third question.

"What about your humans?"

This time, the siren finally got a response, and the lifeless mermaid Arthur spat out a sentence violently.

"Get out!"

"What did he say?" The Siren asked Marvin suspiciously.

"He told you to get out." Marvin replied sincerely and sadly.

"Oh! I see, Arthur." The siren felt that he had glimpsed the truth, "You and your humans had a quarrel."

He had an expression on his face that we would call "happy to see" or "gloating" and immediately let go of his anger at Arthur and Arthur's human beings. He had a better idea, and he started Pacing at the head of Arthur's bed.

Arthur didn't want to talk to him, he buried himself under the quilt.

He was so sad, angry, or so deeply disappointed.

That kind of neurotoxin is not fatal, but it can make Arthur unconscious for a short time, and then the alarm in the whole library is loud.

Khan still couldn't escape, because although he broke the handcuffs, when he touched the first door, or any door in the library, the computer would lock his position and close the door. space, and release hypnotic gas.

This hypnotic gas is enough to bring down an elephant.

Security then put Khan back in the jail and sent Arthur back to his room.

Arthur needed a little time to adjust his mood, but the siren appeared instead.

"Hey, Arthur," said the siren siren in a soft and seductive tone, "if you will give your heart, then I will give you a potion that will make your humans You have a loyal and unswerving love, how about this deal?"

"Get out!"

"Okay." The Siren said reluctantly, "It is also possible to exchange it with a fish tail."

10 minutes later.

The siren siren, who was smashed on the pillow by angry Arthur, complained to Marvin aggrievedly: "Is there any siren in this world who is kinder than me? He hit me!"

The author has something to say:

Siren with a heart better than yours?

Well, probably, not at all.

In addition, Siren, you have collapsed and cannot be saved, why do I like it so much?
