Demon Lord Shapeshifting System

Harker couldn't use the Enhanced Succubus Ability because of the gas masks. He couldn't use his hair either to reach for the pearl even if Princess Jinzhu manages to slip it out into that food tube where her lobster and yellowfin tuna will be delivered.

Can he have her use that loud cry that can break glass?

No, that would result in a complete failure.

First off, there's a reason why she hasn't done that yet while being kept in this room. Her sisters have enhanced hearing, even if they covered their ears, they would still be affected.

The second was that she was given medicine to treat her throat. Meaning that every time she uses it, she damages herself and takes time to heal.

He would have to use that skill for later. For now, he had to think of what skill to utilize….

The mermaid sisters who have no eyes did not sit up for their food, still slumped like a dead fish. The workers were trying to coax them, but they wouldn't move.

Harker observed the position of every single person in this room. Then, he had an idea.

'Tell the Princess to let her food first be delivered to her tank, I need to make sure of how it works.' Harker told Yan. 'Be careful not to let any of them see your screen. Watch closely for me and tell me what happens.'

"Yes, Master!" Yan said while invisible.

The invisible eyeball must have received the order, since he saw Princess Jinzhu turned to the right out of the blue. She nodded, and waited patiently for the tube chute to deliver her food.

VRRRRROOM!

There was the sound almost like a motor engine starting up. The food from the tray was transferred into this machine, and there were strong wind sounds coming from it.

Harker's guess was right. The food was delivered in a blower. In order for the water to not spill out, it uses a sort of reverse vacuum for the air to push out the food on time, and then quickly close the steel lock too.

'That's good. I can initiate my plan now.' Harker thought. 'But first, send out an apology in advance to the mermaid sisters.'

"Huh? For what, Master Harker?" Yan asked.

'I would have to use my skill on them even when I don't want to.'

Re-checking the positions of the people again, he focused on his Enhanced Succubus Ability….

And one of the mermaids started banging on the glass.

"Shen me? Wo de shenti shenmeilao?" She said in surprise.

The worker that was about to feed her turned in her direction. "What's wrong, Princes Shuangzhu—-"

Another one waved her hands about, as if asking for help. "Eh!? Wo weisheme yao huishou!?"

Her waiter who was about to turn off the machine rushed towards her. "Do you need assistance, Princess Huangzhu!?"

But as he did, he slipped on another machine. It was a domino effect once all of them reacted at the right time in the right place. They end up bumping into each other, and tripping over themselves and their machinery, and causing a whole mess.

In the end, the tube for Princess Jinzhu's food broke out from the chute and fell to the floor.

The worker that supervised her panicked. "Oh no! The water's going to spill."

'Now! Tell him that he's putting it the wrong way!" Harker told Princess Jinzhu through Yan's holographic screen.

The princess was confused, but did as told.

"You're putting it the wrong way!" She exclaimed, still mellow as ever.

Even Marielynne Moonroe has nothing against her very soft voice.

"Eh??? I did!?" The man starts to put it the other way. "Wait a minute, you can speak English—"

It was too late as he turned on the machine by impulse, and got splashed on the face.

The water splashed onto the person about to serve Harker's baby food on a syringe.

He cursed. "Ah, Jerry! You dumb fucking jackass! Now my suit is soaked!"

Harker took the opportunity while he's distracted and ordered Yan. "Now you can be in physical form again and put that pearl on the syringe solution! Hurry!"

"Alright, Master Harker!" Yan said in a hushed tone.

Not that anyone would hear the eyeball because they're too distracted by the commotion.

Yan swooped in and grabbed the very small pearl using his wings. He hurriedly took out the pump, placed the pearl inside and put it back again before the workers could notice. Then, he vanished into oblivion and became immaterial again.

By then, the workers had taken care of the problem. They were still soaking wet and some suffered a few bumps and leg sprains. But the first thing they did was to turn off the machine and put the tube over Princess Jinzhu's chute the correct way. They then brush themselves up.

"We can't let the boss know about this disaster!" The one called Jerry said. "Just feed that weird human-demon boy thing there, Tom!"

"That's what I plan to do! Don't order me, dumbass!" Tom said.

Instead of a large tube and a chute, Tom reached out to the end of the nasogastric tube on the top of the tank. It was only as big as 18 French gauge, which has a 6mm diameter. He pressed the syringe and squeezed a pump so the contents would go straight to Harker's nostrils, all the way to his stomach.

Along with the mashed potatoes, nuts and milk, a single tiny pearl swam into Harker's stomach acid and got absorbed. Harker's screen showed that the duration of this amount of DNA could only last for about 3 hours.

'She really has a high speed. She even managed to injure Mr. Xi's. It's the best way to defeat his ability with his green eyes, I just need to have perfect timing.' Harker thought.

"Ugh….. The water's all over the place. If I lose some of my payment for this month, you'll be sorry, Jerry." Tom complained. "Let's go, you cocksuckers."

"I still don't know why the mermaids suddenly started waving and banging the glass…. Isn't that weird?" Jerry said. "And did I really hear one of them speak English—"

"Shut it, Jerry!"

The servers pushed their trolleys and left the room. Princess Jinzhu turned to Harker once they left.

"I gave you the pearl as you told me, Harker sir. What now?"

'We wait for the janitor to take care of this mess. I hope you don't mind that I would be escaping first. I will come back to retrieve you and your people with some back-up.'

Princess Jinzhu looked worried for a second. Harker thought she must be worried if he would betray them after all. Her sister believed in Mr. Xi, but look what happened.

Harker sighed. 'Trust me on this. If I wanted to escape by myself from the start, I would have just pushed the button and then tricked Mr. Xi. But I didn't so—'

"There's no need to explain. I'm just worried that something might happen to you once you get out there, Harker sir."

She smiled genuinely at him, all her pearly white teeth showing.

"I trust you."

Harker couldn't help but chuckle. He does get it twisted sometimes after all, he shouldn't have assumed. He couldn't help but feel even more determined just from that smile alone….

Her smile that's more precious than golden pearls.
