Dr. Blond: "Did you record the trajectory of entering this area just now?"
Staff: “Yes, no problem, it has been recorded.”
Dr. Blond patted the staff member's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Okay, from today on, you will be promoted to the team leader of this investigation. You will be responsible for sorting out the route to get here. The sooner the better."
The staff member's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Okay, Doctor, I will definitely not let you down!"
When the staff member looked up, Baili Xin noticed that there was also an alien reaction on his face.
After Dr. Blond finished his arrangements, he looked at Dr. Ole, and then the two of them left the monitoring room together.
Wherever the two of them walked was like walking into an empty space, surrounded by respectful voices.
The two of them should have great authority. Even if they are not the top leaders of the laboratory, their authority is capped.
Baili Xin followed them silently, and when the time on the invisibility card was about to expire, he took out another one.
The two of them were seen walking and stopping in the winding corridor, and stopped in front of a pure white laboratory made of metal.
A familiar scream was heard from inside. Baili Xin looked through the glass at the door and saw a struggling mermaid lying on a huge bed.
The instrument clamped the mermaid's wrist, and the machine immediately and accurately injected the sedative into the mermaid's body.
In just a few seconds, the mermaid who had been struggling hard just now lay motionless on the hospital bed.
The experimenter inserted the needle into the back of the mermaid's neck and quickly drew out a tube of blue-gold blood.
On the shelf next to the experimenter, there were already more than a dozen such syringes, each filled with blue-gold liquid.
The experimenter did not stop after drawing blood from one tube, but instead replaced it with a new needle and continued to draw blood.
They had drawn five or six tubes, about 400 in total, but the experimenter still didn't stop.
While the mermaid on the hospital bed was having her blood drawn, her originally shiny scales dimmed visibly as the blood flowed out, and her skin began to turn pale.
Seeing Dr. Blond and Dr. Ole coming in, the experimenter was about to put down the syringe and greet them, but was stopped by Dr. Ole, "It's okay, just continue doing your work."
Upon hearing this, the experimenter continued with his actions.
Dr. Ole looked around the lab and asked, "How much has been extracted?"
Experimenter: "There are already 8,000."
Dr. Ole: "We still need 2,000. After extracting another 200 from this mermaid, we'll switch to the next one. Don't extract from one mermaid at a time. Anemia will reduce the mermaid's desire to reproduce. It's already difficult for us to catch wild mermaids. We need to breed them ourselves."
The experimental mermaid nodded quickly: "Okay, Dr. Ole, I got it."
Baili Xin: “.”
The blond doctor came forward and took a tube of blue-gold liquid in his hand to examine it. "Mermaids are truly a treasure given by God to nature. The blood in their bodies can cure diseases and save lives."
"Oh, no," he smiled, "not the treasure given to nature, but the treasure left to us."
Dr. Ole: "Mermaid blood is called 'blue diamond' because its medical value is as precious and rare as diamonds. Their blood can eliminate most diseases that plague human life. There are many rich people out there who are eager to buy mermaid blood at high prices. The research of our institute can continue thanks to the continuous investment of these rich people."
"But they never expected," the blond doctor pursed his lips, "that although the mermaid's blue diamond can prolong life, it will also bring the mermaid's curse."
Dr. Ole: "It's not necessarily that they really don't know. It's just that when it comes to the choice between death and life, they are willing to pay this price in order to live one more life."
Baili Xin: "..."
The blond doctor put the blue-gold syringe back on the shelf and glanced casually at the operating table. "By the way, the blood of mermaid number one should be the best, right? Would you really like to draw some blood?"
Dr. Ole's brows suddenly tightened. "Don't think about taking mermaid number one. It has other more important uses. We have enough blood from so many other mermaids. This one is not a big deal."
The blond doctor shrugged and said in a nonchalant manner, "I know, I know. Look how anxious you are."
Baili Xin: "..."
The fist hardened.
____________________________
Studio.
These two people are on the road to death and there is no return.
It's really amazing how accurate the landmine is.
These mermaids are so pitiful. No wonder the red-tailed mermaid looked so weak. It was probably because all the blood in its body had been drained out and it had no use value, so it was thrown into the sea to be used as bait in search of faith.
From the moment they are caught, they lose their freedom. When they are alive, they are used as tools for others to survive. After they die, they are made into specimens, and even half-dead ones are used as bait.
Isn’t this the kind of beauty, strength and tragedy that often appears in novels
By the way, if I remember correctly, the red-tailed mermaid should have been rescued by God Xin, right
Yes, hahahaha, they spent half a day looking for "faith", and it turned out to be right beside them.
God Xin: Are you surprised? Are you surprised
Ha ha ha ha.
____________________________
Dr. Ole and Dr. Blond stayed in the blood-drawing laboratory for a while, then turned around and left again.
Compared to the experimenters who were busy at their respective posts, the two of them seemed more like inspecting the work.
The two then entered other laboratories one after another, most of which were conducting experiments on mermaids.
They walked to the end of the corridor and finally stopped in front of an elevator.
Seeing the two people enter the elevator, Baili Xin also quietly followed them in.
While observing the two people warily, he opened the map in his mind.
The place where they were descending now was the place where they heard noises coming from inside the wall in the sewer a few days ago.
There are only two buttons on the elevator, one is -3 and the other is -1.
After Dr. Ole pressed -3, the elevator began to slowly descend.
The blond doctor rubbed his nose and looked back and forth at the elevator, his eyes full of confusion.
"You really don't smell anything strange?" After hesitating for a while, he spoke again.
Dr. Ole was a little annoyed. "Don't be so weird all the time. You are sick and need treatment."
The blond doctor showed an embarrassed expression on his face, and just as he was about to look away, his eyes suddenly fixed on one place.
When he saw where the blond doctor was looking at, Baili Xin's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"No!" The blond doctor shouted hastily, "Something is really wrong, look up!"
It happened in a flash. Just as the blond doctor was shouting, the elevator suddenly reached the third floor and the elevator door slowly opened.
The moment the elevator door opened, Baili Xin rushed out.
Dr. Ole looked in the direction Dr. Blond pointed, puzzled, and saw a few numbers displayed on the digital screen in the upper right corner of the elevator.
The maximum load capacity of the elevator is 4500kg.
The actual load capacity of the elevator is 190kg.
Dr. Ole was confused: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
The blond doctor was going crazy. He felt that something was wrong around him since he came back from the ocean. He even began to wonder if he had seen a ghost. "It wasn't like that just now. The elevator showed 255kg."
"Just now the weight became 190kg the moment the elevator door opened. There is a weight difference of 65kg!"
Dr. Ole frowned and glanced at Dr. Blond. "You really have fallen into the trap of theology. Are you going to tell me next that there was another person in the elevator just now? Oh, no, it shouldn't be a person, but a ghost. A ghost weighing 65 kg."
"You are in a very strange state right now. Do you remember how the last person who was cursed reacted before the curse broke out completely?"
"Just like you are now, you have become suspicious and neurotic. Are you okay? Do you want to go for a check-up? How far has your curse spread? 50?"
Dr. Blond: "I'm already 65, how about you?"
Dr. Ole's eyes widened in surprise: "You're already 65? How come it's so much? My spread is still around 45."
The blond doctor scratched his hair. "I don't know why. Ever since I went to the bottom of the sea, my curse has accelerated. I suspect it was the influence of those green monsters."
Dr. Ole: "No wonder you are so anxious to find the faith of mermaids."
The two walked out of the elevator while talking.
Baili Xin, who had been waiting on the side, followed the two people's footsteps silently, chewing on the conversation they had just had as he walked.
According to what they meant just now and before.
After they caught the mermaid, they found drugs in her that could cure human diseases.
But the mermaid's body also has some kind of curse, or virus.
Everyone in this research institute should have been infected by the mermaid's "curse", and the way to lift the mermaid's "curse" is to find the mermaid's faith.
But he doesn't know yet how to use the mermaids' faith to lift the mermaids' curse.
Baili Xin's consciousness suddenly paused, then he opened the private chat window and sent a message to Xia Chi.
Baili Xin: Summer Pond.
About two minutes later, Xia Chi replied to him: Brother, I'm here.
Baili Xin: What were you doing just now? Why did you take so long to reply to me
The time interval between Xia Chi's reply to him usually did not exceed one minute, but this time it was indeed a little longer.
Xia Chi: My stomach hurts, brother, I feel so uncomfortable.
Baili Xin suddenly had a bad feeling and asked: Did you eat something bad
Xia Chi: I don’t know. I just ate whatever the restaurant cooked. I didn’t eat anything else. And tonight I didn’t eat anything from the restaurant. I ate the compressed biscuits I brought from the dungeon.
Baili Xin: Xia Chi, go to the bed and take off your clothes now.
Xia Chi on the other side replied to him slowly. Just when Baili Xin thought that something had happened to Xia Chi, Xia Chi sent him a message: Brother, are you finally going to attack me
Don't be like this, although I admire you very much, I respect you purely and don't have any improper thoughts. And I don't dare to.
Baili Xin:
Is this child mentally normal
I want you to see if there are any changes on your body, such as the appearance of black spots or something. Before Xia Chi could say anything dangerous, Baili Xin quickly sent the message.
There was another long silence from Xia Chi's side. Okay.
Even if not in front of Xia Chi, Baili Xin already had Xia Chi's embarrassed expression in his mind.
While waiting for Xia Chi to examine his body, Baili Xin still followed the two doctors and observed the surrounding environment at the same time.
They had been to the sewers, but not here.
A thick wall separates the two sides.
The structure here is different from that of the sewer, which means that this place does not actually belong to the sewer area, but a separate experimental area.
Thick sound-proof sponges are pasted on the surrounding walls to isolate the sound.
Just when Baili Xin followed them to a heavy gate, Xia Chi sent a message: Brother, I have finished the inspection.
I don't know when a black spot appeared on the back of my thigh, and it feels a bit rough to the touch.
How do you know that I have something growing on my body? Is this not just a normal skin disease, but something related to the dungeon
Shit, this thing won't keep growing, will it? I knew this instance wouldn't be that simple.
Will I die? If I let this continue, what the hell will I become
Just as Xia Chi was speaking, Dr. Ole and Dr. Blond opened the heavy iron door, revealing the scene inside.
The moment the iron gate opened, a fishy smell instantly hit me in the face.
The turbid smell was similar to that of a sewer, or even stronger.
Like the smell of rotten, smelly mud that has never been cleaned up and is fermenting.
As the iron door opened, the lights in the room came on.
A black monster appeared in his sight without any warning, and muddy liquid was constantly flowing down its body. The liquid accumulated on the ground and quickly flowed down through the sewer.
Looking closely, Baili Xin discovered that it was not actually black mucus, but secretions from the monster's skin.
To be honest, it would be more appropriate to describe it as black pus.
Even though his entire body was covered in black slime, he could still make out the silhouette of the monster.
Two arms, two legs and a head.
There is no difference in appearance from humans.
I don’t know whether this monster had eyes originally, but now its head is completely covered with black slime, and only an irregular oval can be seen.
The monster's arms and legs were connected with chains. As the monster moved, the chains made a "clacking" sound and hit the wall.
The sound they heard through the wall at that time should be the sound of the chain hitting the wall.
The monster seemed to be in pain and kept making chilling wails.
The blond doctor covered his nose, frowned, and stepped back repeatedly, "When will it die?"
Dr. Ole: "The first cursed body, No. 1, was cursed because it took too much mermaid blood. Eventually, the curse spread to 100 and it became what it is now. It may be that the mermaid blood caused a strange chemical reaction in its body. It has now become a monster that will never die. This is the curse of the mermaid."
"It can only live in such pain every day now. Its body is covered with abscesses, and foul-smelling liquid is secreted from the abscesses every day. And it not only needs to endure this stench, but also the great pain brought by the diseased body."
“Those who spent a lot of money to buy mermaid blood probably never thought that the price they would have to pay would be so heavy.”
The blond doctor was dismissive. "It's a matter of one willing to fight and the other willing to suffer. If they want it, we will provide it to them. We have no obligation to tell them the consequences of the mermaid curse. If they knew, who would invest money in our research institute?"
Dr. Ole nodded in agreement: "You are quite right."
Xia Chi's private message sounded in Baili Xin's mind again.
Xia Chi: Brother, I just found a black spot on my back.
Brother, why don't you say something? What's wrong? What is this black thing
Will I die, brother
Baili Xin: I won’t die.
Xia Chi: You finally replied to me, brother. I just hope you won’t die.
Blissin: It's going to be ugly.
Xia Chi: …
Do we have to choose between death and ugliness
These are clearly two double avoidance options.
Baili Xin: Go ask other people if they have these black spots on their bodies. You are cursed by the mermaids. I am now following Dr. Ole and his team to the underground laboratory. Here I saw the fate of those who were cursed by the mermaids.
Xia Chi hesitated and said: ... Give a brief description
Baili Xin also hesitated. He paused and finally chose to refuse. Believe me, it’s better for you not to know.
Xia Chi: …
There was not only a monster trapped inside the iron door, but also an iron rack and metal utensils placed on the rack.
Dr. Ole walked to the shelf and put on his protective suit, then slowly approached the monster.
The monster sensed someone approaching and roared at the top of its lungs.
Its movements were violent, and the black pus on its body flew everywhere with its movements.
The blond doctor stepped back repeatedly in disgust, holding his nose as he stepped back and urged, "Hurry up, don't waste time. Every time I come here, my nose hurts for several days. I can't stand it."
Dr. Ole took a sharp scalpel and cut a piece of meat from the roaring monster, which he quickly stuffed into a container.
After collecting the meat, he put the things back to their original place, took off his protective suit, carefully put the stopper in, and returned to the blond doctor, "The sample has been extracted, let's go."
The blond doctor looked at the piece of black meat with disgust, pinched his nose and began to walk away.
Dr. Ole closed the door and cleaned up the mess. After restoring the place to the same state as before, he turned around and followed Dr. Blond.
From a distance, you can still hear the blonde doctor's complaints.
"This monster is really like a cancer cell. It can't be killed and it keeps growing wildly."
"If it weren't for the fact that it was the only completed cursed body we found, and the only way to extract the cursed materials was here, I would never come here. You know, I have a very good nose."
Dr. Ole replied perfunctorily: "I know."
The two of them returned to the elevator while talking.
After entering the elevator, Dr. Blonde began to observe the numbers displayed on the elevator, but until the elevator closed, the numbers on it remained at 190kg, with no sign of change.
He couldn't help but fall into some doubts.
Did I really see it wrong just now
But he clearly saw 255kg, how strange.
The elevator door slowly closed, and the two doctors sitting on it returned to the upper floor.
In the quiet darkness, a figure slowly and strangely appeared in front of the elevator that was originally empty.
Baili Xin glanced towards the elevator, turned around and went back to the iron door.
Standing in front of the iron gate, he thought for two seconds and used the invisibility card again.
After reopening the iron gate, he walked in. The monster inside suddenly raised its head when it heard the noise.
But when it saw the opposite side clearly, the whole monster was stunned again.
In front of it, there was nothing except the open door.
The monster tilted its head, "?"
Baili Xin: "..."
It seems that although the black slime seems to block the monster's sight, the monster can still see things, and this does not affect its vision.
Baili Xin took out a healing card from his backpack and used it on the monster.
The next moment, he received a system notification sound.
Ding! Friendly reminder, the target of your healing card is a humanoid monster, so the healing card cannot be used.
Blissin: …
If I'm not mistaken, the monster opposite should have been a human.
So if the curse reaches 100 and becomes like this, they are no longer human, but monsters
Baili Xin paused and asked: Escape system, Tongmei, are you there
The escape system quickly replied: I'm here, Lord Baili Xin.
Baili Xin: If the player turns into a monster, can he still return to the game lobby
Escape system: No. Once a player turns into a monster, the system will determine that the player is dead, and the dead player cannot return to the game lobby.
Blissin: …
really.
Once it becomes like this, you will be like Zhou Li and Hong Yue in the "Necromancer" and "Zombie" copies, unable to leave here.
Just when Baili Xin got the answer, a voice came from the private chat.
Xia Chi: Brother, I've finished asking questions. Players all have these black spots on their bodies to varying degrees. Like me, they didn't pay much attention to it until I asked them. Do you have any, brother
Baili Xin: I don’t have it.
Xia Chi: Hey, why don’t you have it on you
Baili Xin: ... I also want to know why.
Could it be that the mark that Dijia gave himself took effect
Baili Xin thought for a moment and took out the mermaid heart hanging around his neck.
If the Mermaid's Heart can cure humanoid mermaids, then in theory, it should also be able to cure humanoid monsters.
Although the resurrection function of the Mermaid's Heart has been blocked, the healing function still exists.
He pointed the Mermaid Heart at the monster and slowly started the healing process of the Mermaid Heart.
The next second, a voice came into Baili Xin's mind.
Ding! Friendly reminder, the target of Mermaid Heart's treatment is in good health and does not need treatment.
Blissin: …
The patient is in good health and does not require any medical treatment.
Even the heart of the mermaid is useless. It seems that the only way to lift the curse for Xia Chi and the others is to rely on the mermaids' faith.
After confirming that the Mermaid Heart and the Healing Card could not remove the curse, Baili Xin quietly left the room. Under the monster's stiff attention, the door opened and closed slowly.
Two seconds after the door closed.
Monster: "Ahhhh."
There's a ghost!
____________________________
Studio.
This monster is screaming, could it be because it is afraid of ghosts
Um, is there a possibility that it is overthinking? It may be scarier than a ghost.
Monster: Are you polite? Everyone is a little angel who needs a sense of security.
Hahaha.
____________________________
Baili Xin walked to the elevator, calculated the time for the two doctors to leave, and pressed the elevator button.
When he returned the same way, the corridor was indeed empty, without a single person.
When passing by the laboratory where blood was drawn, the mermaid from before had disappeared, replaced by another mermaid with a purple tail.
These needles are inserted into the neck, which is connected to the spine. The blood they draw is not from ordinary blood vessels, but most likely from the mermaid's bone marrow.
Hematopoietic stem cells are also rare in the human body and their recovery rate is very slow.
The same is probably true for mermaids.
The already scarce blood was drawn out tube by tube.
No wonder the mermaids he saw in the laboratories looked so weak. The mermaids he saw in Laboratory No. 21 had numerous small and dense wounds on the back of their necks.
Every wound means a tube of blood, and we have to count the healed needle holes.
One can imagine how many tubes of blood were drawn from the mermaid.
The purple mermaid lay limply on the operating table, motionless.
The mermaid was thrown casually on the black oilcloth beside. Several men in protective suits wrapped the mermaid in the oilcloth, lifted her up with great effort and left through the special passage.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Baili Xin hurriedly followed them.
They soon came to an elevator that Baili Xin had never seen before.
The elevator opened and the two people and the fish walked in.
The moment Baili Xin stepped on it, the elevator alarm sounded.
It is a reminder that the elevator is overloaded.
Baili Xin: "..."
It's definitely not because I'm too heavy!
He pulled his legs back, the elevator resumed operation, and the alarm sounded gone.
The two people in protective suits looked at each other, and through the glass cover, they saw confusion in each other's eyes.
"Is this mermaid so heavy?"
"It's actually overloaded. Looks like I need to lose weight."
"Is this bad? I guess it was just a malfunction just now."
As soon as the protective suit personnel finished speaking, the alarm sounded again in the elevator.
Protective Suit A: "…"
Protective suit B: “…”
The alarm sounded for two seconds and then disappeared again.
Two seconds later, the alarm sounded again, then disappeared again.
It sounded and disappeared.
It sounded and disappeared.
A minute later, the two men resigned themselves to dragging the mermaid out of the elevator and chose to leave through a non-elevator passage.
As they left, Protective Suit A was still complaining: "What's going on today? It's like a haunted place."
Protective Suit B: "Let's talk about science, not superstition. How could there be ghosts?"
Protective Suit A: "What a calamity! I'm so unlucky today. I have to walk such a long way to deliver it."
The two of them started walking forward while complaining. The passage they were walking on was the same passage that Baili Xin and Dr. Ole and the others had walked on.
The escape system asked silently in Baili Xin's mind: Lord Baili Xin, you were not dissatisfied with your weight just now, were you
Blissin: …
How can it be!
s419m: Definitely not. I guess the host wanted to leave here, but if he didn't follow others, it would be too abrupt for him to leave on his own, so he deliberately took the person down from the elevator.
Baili Xin:.
s419m still understands me, worthy of being my old partner.
____________________________
Studio.
Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter.
Although they were wearing protective clothing, I still saw it. Did you notice that they both looked so scared just now, hahahaha.
It was the first time I discovered that Mr. Xin could actually make jokes.
Suddenly I feel that Xin Shen is so kind, Xin Shen confesses his love to you~
____________________________
The two men in protective suits carried the mermaid for more than ten minutes before they reached the secret door in the wall.
Just when one of them was about to put the mermaid aside and open the secret door, the secret door suddenly opened by itself.
When they carried the mermaid, they carried it one in front and one behind, with protective suit A in front and protective suit B in the back.
Therefore, only the man in protective suit A saw this strange phenomenon and was stunned on the spot.
Seeing this, Protective Suit B urged: "What are you waiting for? Go quickly."
"I, um, this door..." The man in protective suit A stuttered, not knowing how to start. Suddenly, he felt someone pushing him hard from behind, and his body instinctively passed through the secret door and walked out.
As he was walking without any preparation, he even stumbled a few steps. After he stood firm, he turned back angrily, "Why did you push me?"
Protective suit B was completely confused: "Are you sick? Where did I get the hand to push you?"
The man in protective suit A, who was already angry, felt his heart skip a beat again.
Yes, protective suit B cannot push itself.
Not to mention that Protective Suit B used both hands to carry the mermaid, even given the distance between them, Protective Suit B couldn't possibly touch him.
The mermaid's body and tail are about four or five meters long.
This is simply impossible.
A terrible thought suddenly flashed through the mind of the man in protective suit A, and his body unconsciously tilted.
Yes, yes, there is a ghost!
___________________________
Studio.
I never thought that NPCs could also be afraid of ghosts. This really opened my eyes.
This copy should be a copy without supernatural elements, there are only monsters and mermaids, and they all believe in science. If a supernatural thing suddenly appears, they will definitely not be able to adapt.
Could this be the effect that God Xin wants
Uh, I don't understand, what does Xin Shen want to do? Pretend to be a ghost and scare them to death
… Hahahaha, I don’t know, let’s wait and see.
__________________________
The road behind the protective suit was soft and soft. After a difficult move, he finally carried the unconscious mermaid to the third floor and put it in its original laboratory.
It was all business as usual.
Mermaids don't have their blood drawn every day. Every once in a while, when the doctors are sure that the mermaids have almost recovered by judging their appearance and scales, they will start a wave of blood draws.
All they had to do was take the mermaid to the underground laboratory and then bring her back and put her away.
They had done this job many times and had never made a mistake because it was so simple and there was no way to go wrong.
But today, he felt tremendous pressure.
After quickly throwing the mermaid into the water, the protective suit armor was about to leave, but the light that had been on above his head suddenly went out without any warning.
At the moment when darkness fell, the door that had been open made a loud "click" sound.
The sound did not end after the loud bang. It seemed that the metal door was grabbed by someone and was shaking desperately, making violent noises.
Click.
Bang.
Clack clack.
This time, not only protective suit A was scared, but protective suit B was also completely scared.
A hand suddenly patted the shoulder of Protective Suit B, who was instantly startled. "Hey, don't pat me, I'm scared, stop it."
The voice of the man in protective suit A was trembling. "What if I say I didn't shoot you?"
In the darkness, the two hands of Protective Suit A reached out to the front of Protective Suit B, "If you don't believe me, look, my hands are here."
Protective suit B vaguely saw two blurry black shadows in the darkness.
But the feeling of strength on the shoulders has not disappeared. If I take a picture of my bushi protective suit armor, who would it be
"Ahh!" Protective Suit B suddenly screamed, "There's a ghost!"
Infected by protective suit B, protective suit A, which had already reached the brink of collapse, also screamed, and the two ran out of the laboratory at the same time, even forgetting to close the door.
Halfway through the run, Protective Suit B stopped and said, "It seems the door of the laboratory is not closed yet."
Protective suit A looked pale: "Then let's go back and take a look?"
Although they were a little scared, they looked back subconsciously because they had a responsibility.
Under the dim light, the open door slowly closed without any external force.
“Ahhhh!”
“Help!”
“There’s a ghost!”
Baili Xin: "..."
Is this not enough? Trash, even the players in the horror game trial dungeon can't compare to you.
He took out the mermaid's heart from his neck and used it to heal the unconscious mermaid in the pool.
A faint green light appeared in the dark pool, and then Baili Xin heard a low moan, and the mermaid slowly emerged from the water.
It looked around blankly, and its bright eyes, unique to the mermaids, looked like two sparkling cat's eyes in the darkness.
Seeing this, Baili Xin reached out and patted the mermaid on the head.
The mermaid didn't see the shape, but she felt the touch, and her body froze.
But it didn't resist, just let Baili Xin pat it twice, and even responded with a "Yeah."
The tail hidden in the water also unconsciously flipped up and down, without any hostility towards this mysterious helper.
