No one noticed the little mermaid's reaction in the sink, because everyone's attention was on the lifeblood culturing tank in the center of the hall.
When Zorm connected its mind to the brain and released the control signal with the brain as the converter, the red liquid in the culturing tank suddenly calmed down and without even one single ripple. The state of calm was more like suddenly inactivated than being controlled. Lily curiously leaned on the railing, looked down and asked, "Why do I feel this is not right… Is this what happens when the lifeblood is under control?"
"No sense of life," Muru said and frowned. He leaned over to examine the situation in the tank and said, "It's abnormally calm… It's like being suppressed or inactivated. Zorm, you did it?"
"I don't know what's going on." Zorm's voice came from the air. "I just connected to the brain, haven't released signal yet."
