I didn’t know how much time had passed before I woke up.

I was still in a half-awakened state when a slight movement beside me made me open my eyes. The sudden brightness made me feel a temporary discomfort in my eyes and couldn’t help closing them again. I heard someone getting up and the light soon dimmed down a little.

I opened my eyes again and Rhine’s figure became clear in my line of sight. He approached my bedside and lowered his body. The familiar face still had the usual smile, but it seemed so false and strange to me because I clearly remembered how cold he was at that time in the rainstorm. This guy had been lying to me from the beginning. From his identity to the real purpose of this expedition, all of it had been a complete deception.

I stared at him with a frown. With no words to say as I was still feeling dizzy, even the strength to question him was gone.

Rhine, acting as if nothing had happened, bowed his head to look down at me, and even spoke in a relaxed tone: “You’re finally awake. Feeling any better, buddy?”

“Great.” I smiled coldly, only spitting out a word, secretly wanting to punch that perverted hypocritical face a few times. However, when I tried to lift one arm, I came to realize that this thought could not be put into action at all.

My hands were tied separately to the sides of the bed like a restrained psychiatric patient, with a band of gauze wrapped around my thighs and a pair of underpants on my lower body, which were also separated and tied to the foot of the bed.

This position made me feel awkward and embarrassed instantly. I raised my eyes to look at him with a knife-sharp glare: “Rhine, what is this for?”

Rhine looked surprised at first before letting out a devious laughter. ” Oh God, my little scholar, do you think I did this? This is what the doctor was forced to do in the process because you were struggling violently when you were in a comatose state, behaving as if someone was trying to rape you.”

“What nonsense are you talking about!” I sneered disdainfully in retort, feeling a little angry at his explicit description, and was even more uncomfortable at the thought of the scene in the bathroom. Rhine let his eyes roam thoughtfully over my body, before finally stopping on my bare legs, and he immediately displayed a lustful grin: “But these doctors have done a good job. Now you are like a delicious dish deliberately prepared for me.”

As he said this, he slowly turned his gaze from my legs to the side of my body. I looked nervously over at him, and saw that he had placed one hand on my uninjured thigh. His rough and coarse palm touched my skin, unimpededly causing me to get goosebumps, so I struggled to free my bound arms as I shouted in a hoarse voice. “Damn you, don’t touch me!”

However, in this situation, my words have no deterrent effect. Rhine just whistled absentmindedly as he mused while stroking against the inside of my thigh before slowly sliding his hand upward toward the root of my leg to touch it presumptuously, “Desharow, your skin is so smooth, just like a woman’s.”

“Remove your hand!,” I became so furious that I could almost jump out of bed to beat him up. The iron brackets that held the bed-frame up where my hands and feet were tied to gave a sharp creak. I had no doubt that Rhine, this baseless idiot, would do anything to take advantage of somebody’s difficulties. He might as well have been a mercenary, risking his life for the sake of money. He had tossed out every human nature, morality, life, and death from himself like a worn out shoes….why would forcing himself on the same sex be any different?

As if to confirm my ominous intuition, his disgusting hands moved up a few inches, nearing my vital body part. He rubbed lightly and gently before reaching into the seam of the underwear, which instantly made me shake with fear, even my voice began to tremble, “Don’t touch there!”

I stared at Rhine furiously, trying to make a fierce, uncompromising look, but my eyes swept over toward Rhine’s hands that was still placed between my separated legs, touching my underwear. My cheeks burned irrepressibly red because of this shameful situation. I know that my face must be blushing by now. As a man, I know that by no means would this response deter him; on the contrary, it will arouse the desire of the other party to further aggression.

To hide my reddish complexion, I hastily turned my head to the side while attempting to get rid of the bindings the best I could by constantly moving my wrist. During that same time, I felt him lowering his head. His fingers grabbed hold of my jaw, forcing me to face him.

Rhine looked at my face with an appreciative look, as if he is both enjoying and deriving pleasure from my emotions. I opened my mouth and bit down on his finger hard, even using my canine teeth to grind against his bone, and instantly a bloody taste was overflowing in my mouth. Rhine, as if he didn’t feel any pain, looked at me calmly for a couple seconds before opening his mouth, “I can’t help but want you now. What should I do? Just looking at this expression of yours already made me hard, Desharow.”

After saying that, the strap binding one of my wrist was ripped apart by him. My body thus became more mobilized, but I was instantly grabbed and lifted by my waist. He took advantage of me suspended in the air to sit on the bed before placing me on his lap. I immediately felt a hardened object pressing firmly against my buttocks,  before I could even utter a single sound, my mouth was instantly covered by his big palm.

I could only make vague noises. I brandished my freed arm to stop him from taking off my underwear as my eyes became laden with teary redness. It was only then did I feel that it would be more dangerous to stay with Rhine than to be in a room with that merman. How could I be so foolish that I didn’t realize his true face sooner?

“Desharow, do you really want to know my true identity and the real purpose behind this sea voyage?” Rhine whispered into my ear as he forcibly tried to pry open my hand that was gripping tightly onto my underpants. I shook my head desperately, trying to show that I had no interest in this matter just so he would let me go.

“You’ll know later. Because you’re going to have the same identity as me soon enough, but only after I’ve fucked this ass of yours, of course.”

A loud slap was heard from him smacking my butt. He let out a vulgar laugh before rubbing himself impatiently through his unbuckled pants followed by his heavy gasping. He released his hand that was covering my mouth to unbuckle his belt.

Instinctively, my lips parted to cry for help, but the syllable I unconsciously uttered out was something that even I was unable to quickly react to, “Agares! Agar⁠—”

I choked on my own word from astonishment. Rhine stopped his movement, and he too remained silent before he became overjoyed as if he had heard a big hilarious joke. He pressed his lower body hard against my buttocks and said “You are begging that merman to save you? That beast is already lying in the reservoir like a dried up fish, dying!”

The merman is dying?

My head felt like it was being heavily smashed by a baseball bat as I felt myself sinking into a pile of black cloud before my eyes. Even the previous urge to resist was completely gone, my thoughts occupied by this sudden devastating blow. My hand carelessly loosened its hold, allowing Rhine to pull down my underpants. His scalding hot sex organ jabbed at my naked buttocks as it jumped restlessly. It could invade my body at any time.

I closed my eyes painfully, my heart was in a state of despair.

“Peng-peng-peng—”

Just then, there was a sudden knocking sound heard from the door, and a man’s voice rang out: “Professor Rhine? I heard someone shouting. Is that you?”

“Doctor, I need help. I’m dying!”

As though I had obtained the last straw to clutch at, I screamed out a response as if I were insane, while pulling with all my strength against the bondage belt like my life depended on it at the same time. My body moved recklessly against Rhine’s, forcing him to let me go and stand up.

I freed my hand and went to pull up my tattered and sorry-looking underwear immediately. I watched Rhine walking out, wearing an expression that showed his determination to win and conquer, leaving the door half-closed.

I heard him explain to the doctor at the door in a language that I could not understand, but I could clearly hear the doctor inquiring in a very doubtful tone. I felt a little relieved because at least it could be deduced that the doctors here were not partnered up with Rhine. It seemed that Rhine was not only hiding his identity from me, but he was also hiding his secrets from others.

I hoped to get a chance to move freely, but the premise was that I couldn’t let them think I’m a patient in an unstable state. I have to keep my calm.

“I need help, doctor.”

As the doctor pushed the door open to come in, I took a deep breath and said in a very calm tone, hoping that he would understand English. However, when I was able to see his face clearly, I became stunned because it was a person that I knew, a predecessor in the field of biology worthy of my respect.

Never would I thought of meeting him thousands of miles away!

At this moment, on the contrary, it was the other party that approached closer and said with a gentle smile “Ey~ isn’t this St. Petersburg<b>[1] </b>Maritime Academy’s most outstanding genius, Little Wallace?”

<b>[1: St. Petersburg is the second largest city in Russia after Moscow.]</b>

That sentence made me return back to the old days in Moscow during the cold winter night where I would be doing my yearly research crazily with a bunch of hot-blooded biology students and couldn’t help but feel dazed by the memories. Only until he patted me on the shoulder did I wake up from my hazy state, but I was still unable to speak properly. “Oh my goodness! Senior Davis, it’s you. How come you’re here? Oh, that’s right, forgive my stupidity.” I scratched my head, “I actually wanted to ask… what is this place?”

“You’re still confused, buddy,” Davis said in a somewhat surprised tone as he went to untie me from the binding. “Didn’t you go to Iceland just to come here? This is the Darwin Marine Biology Research Base, officially sponsored by the Russian government. Rhine said you and him were instructed by the government to come here. Such an honor!”

Following after that, his endless chattering of praises became nothing but rubbish, however my mind began to start doubting everything. Isn’t this sea voyage supposed to be my graduation project? When did it become something that is related to the government. Rhine’s lie is rather ridiculously big ah!

Who the hell is he in the end?

“Oh my goodness, can’t believe guys have actually discovered a merman. This is one of the most amazing miracles of this century!”

My heart jumped instantly and I went to grab his arm with excitement: “Where is the merman? Is he… dying?”

“That’s ridiculous!” Davis jeered at me. “The merman is currently living quite well in the artificial reservoir, it’s just that he’s acting a bit violent and was refusing any food that was given to him. The reason for this is still uncertain.” He frowned. “I suspect that it could be because of Rhine’s anesthesia bullet being too excessive, causing the merman to be in a state of anxiety…”

“Take me to the underground reservoir!” I interrupted him impatiently. “Listen, Davis, I can communicate with the merman. I can try to calm him down so take me there immediately.”
