Escape System: Lord Baili Xin, Xia Chi's curse has now been reduced to level 45, you can rest assured.
On the way back to the dormitory, the voice of the escape system rang in Baili Xin's mind.
Baili Xin maintained his own pace and walked, what about the other players
Escape System: Song Yun's curse level is about the same as Xia Chi's, 50. As for the others, their curse levels are generally around 20.
Blissin:…
Xia Chi and Yan Jing have the highest degree of curse. If there is one thing they have done that is different from other players, it is that they followed Dr. Blond into the underground tunnel in the deep sea.
Baili Xin: Today is the tenth day of the mission. If Xia Chi continues to progress according to their curse, can he hold on until the last day of the game
Escape System: Theoretically, he will reach over 90 on the last day, but whether he can hold on until the last second depends on his luck. Xia Chi has always had good luck.
Baili Xin: OK, I understand, thank you. But this is no longer a matter of pure luck.
Xia Chi passed through the underground tunnel twice. The first time, he and Dr. Blond left the submarine and stepped onto that space.
The second time he and himself just passed by in a submarine and did not leave.
Although Xia Chi passed through there one more time than Song Yun, the area of Xia Chi's curse was lower than Song Yun's in the end.
From this point of view, the acceleration of the curse should be related to the direct contact of the body with that space.
It seems that there are secrets in the tunnel occupied by green monsters that he has not discovered.
Xia Chi’s crisis was not resolved.
At night, the research institute became deathly silent again as usual.
Just as Baili Xin was about to go out, there was a knock on the door.
He opened the door and found Xia Chi standing outside.
To be more precise, it should be... Tan Yue.
Tan Yue and Xia Chi are actually quite easy to distinguish. Xia Chi's expression and eyes are more innocent. Although he has been in this horror game for three years, his essential purity has not changed.
In comparison, Tan Yue was calmer.
The first second they met, Tan Yue asked directly: "Do you need help?"
Baili Xin looked at the boy's face, which was completely different from his usual expression, and said meaningfully: "Are you so bold now?"
You keep using Xia Chi's body. Are you really not afraid that Xia Chi will find out
Tan Yue: "A fish's memory is only seven seconds, and a dog's IQ is only a few years old."
Baili Xin: "..."
Does Xia Chi know that you are framing her like this
____________________________
Studio.
What are these two talking about? Am I missing something important
I also found it strange and didn't understand it at all, especially Xia Chi. Why was there no beginning or end and there were both "fish" and "dog"? What did it mean
I don't know, maybe some code word? Whatever, let's see what they're going to do!
____________________________
Tan Yue: "Are you planning to build an underground laboratory now?"
"No," Baili Xin shook his head, "I plan to go to the sewer first. My mission is to rescue all 51 mermaids, including the little mermaid in the sewer."
Tan Yue: "Have you found a way to rescue the mermaid?"
Baili Xin's eyebrows suddenly raised: "Yes, I have a cheat."
I'm so envious of you.
Tan Yue just said "Oh" softly, "Actually, after tomorrow, all my tasks will be completed."
He paused and added: "Including hidden tasks."
Baili Xin: "..."
Go, go now and get out of my sight immediately.
"But I was able to complete these tasks thanks to you. My mind is foggy today. If it weren't for you, I might be in danger and I wouldn't have the chance to stand in front of you and talk to you like this," Tan Yue changed the subject, his expression gradually becoming serious, "I've always wanted to say thank you to you in person."
Baili Xin: "."
He understood that the "I" Tan Yue was referring to was Xia Chi.
And he said "my head was groggy", combined with the fact that Xia Chi had asked him yesterday whether the system would doze off, it was very likely that Tan Yue fell into a short sleep after hearing the mermaid's singing last night, so he did not show up in time.
"In fact, the curse on you has not been completely lifted." Since the other party is Tan Yue, there is no need to hide it. Moreover, Baili Xin believes that even if he does not tell, Tan Yue should know Xia Chi's situation. "In the remaining five days, your curse area is likely to reach 100."
Tan Yue: "I know that. You have helped me a lot. I don't need your help in this matter. I will handle it."
Baili Xin: "How to solve it?"
Tan Yue: "I will go to the underwater tunnel and find the secret of the curse."
Baili Xin: "Are you okay?"
Tan Yue laughed loudly, his eyebrows suddenly raised, "They are just a bunch of minions, they are not my opponents."
The moment he smiled, the boy's originally dull expression suddenly became lively.
Through this face, Baili Xin seemed to see a young man who was full of vigor and was free and easy.
Tan Yue and Xia Chi are the same age.
If they hadn't entered the thriller game, the two of them would indeed be in their best years and most confident.
Baili Xin: "The submarine is for you?"
Tan Yue: "Okay, thank you."
Baili Xin: "You're welcome."
He looked at Tan Yue, who rarely showed up, and actually wanted to ask him something about their era.
But knowing that he was in the middle of a live broadcast, he finally suppressed the thought.
Although he didn't say anything, Tan Yue understood what he meant.
When putting the submarine props from Baili Xin into Xia Chi's backpack, Tan Yue said meaningfully: "Now is not the right time. We will have a chance to meet again in the future. I'm leaving first. I wish you good luck."
Tan Yue had just walked two meters away when something seemed to ring out and he turned around and walked back.
"By the way, you can't come here for nothing. I'll give you a luck value increase bonus."
He smiled at Baili Xin and said, "By the way, let me tell you a secret. There was a very strong man in the past, and his luck was as bad as yours."
Baili Xin: "."
Do you think I won't know who you are just by your name
I knew about this a long time ago.
A card was suddenly quietly put into Baili Xin's palm.
The sound of the escape system rang in my mind.
Ding! Congratulations to Baili Xin for obtaining the S-level rare prop card [Polar Reversal]. This prop card is a consumable one-time prop card that can be used once. After use, you can specify a specific attribute of your own to reverse. The prop lasts for 10 minutes.
Blissin:…
If his luck value were to reverse, wouldn't he be able to overturn the entire gaming hall
Escape System: Lord Bailixin, this card is extremely useful to you. Please use it when you need it.
Only after Tan Yue walked away did Baili Xin quietly put the card into his backpack.
________________________________________
Baili Xin put an invisibility card on himself and entered the sewer through the underground dormitory.
He quickly found the tunnel where he had last seen the mermaid and found the oval space.
The space was empty, with dark shadows in the corners.
Not long after Baili Xin appeared at the entrance of the cave, two figures walked out from the dark shadows.
A monster with a human face and a little mermaid.
The human-faced monster stumbled and said, "What... are you... doing here again?"
Seeing the two people cuddling each other, Baili Xin was speechless for a moment.
He had seen this space before. If the wires were welded directly from the outside, even he would not be able to open the passage and let the human-faced monster out.
There is no food here. The reason why the human-faced monster can survive is mainly because the mermaids keep bringing it food from outside.
If he took the mermaid away, it would indirectly sentence the human-faced monster to death.
It would die of dehydration if it were semi-imprisoned in this place.
Not getting an answer, the little mermaid blinked her big innocent eyes and tilted her head: "Eh?"
Baili Xin swallowed his saliva: "When I was up there, I accidentally heard that he was a human before, and later became a mermaid. But everyone who came into contact with the mermaid experiment was cursed, except him. I want to know why."
"How much do you know about this matter?"
The human-faced monster looked at the well-behaved mermaid beside him, then looked at Baili Xin opposite him. After a few seconds, he continued in his not-so-fluent language: "I can... tell you, but you have to promise me one thing."
Baili Xin: "What's the matter?"
The human-faced monster placed two furry hands on the mermaid's shoulders: "Take him away. He doesn't belong here. He belongs to the sea. Save him."
Baili Xin was stunned and looked at the human-faced monster with complicated eyes: "If I take him away, you will..."
The human-faced monster suddenly covered the mermaid's ears and eyes, and shook his head at Baili Xin where the ignorant mermaid couldn't see: "I know."
It seemed as if all his strength was put into these three short words.
Baili Xin was suddenly touched. He nodded seriously: "Okay, I promise you."
The human-faced monster suddenly smiled on its strange face. When the corners of its mouth moved, unnatural wrinkles appeared where the human face and the animal were connected. Its entire face was shaky and for a moment it looked like it was about to fall off its body. It pointed a finger at Baili Xin and said, "You must keep your promise. Otherwise, I will not let you go, even if I become a ghost."
Baili Xin: "..."
Although, you may not believe it, even ghosts are afraid of me.
The mermaid's ears and eyes were covered, and her body twisted uncomfortably as she struggled for a while, while her arms grabbed the human-faced monster's arms and pulled them for a long time.
Regardless of the fact that his strength was still not as great as that of the human-faced monster, after struggling for a while without success, the mermaid simply gave up and lay in the arms of the human-faced monster.
When the human-faced monster saw that the mermaid had calmed down, he waved at Baili Xin, asking him to come closer.
Baili Xin walked to the side of the human-faced monster, and the human-faced monster licked the corner of his dry lips with his tongue, "I am a researcher."
"I have participated in the research of special species before."
Baili Xin's eyes flashed with surprise before returning to calm: "."
At first I thought he was just an experimental subject, but I didn't expect that he actually participated in the experiment. Then why did he end up like this
"Before I came here, I didn't know this was such a place."
"Later I discovered that this institute was conducting unnatural experiments and was planning to spread the news to the outside world and ban it."
"But I misjudged their bottom line."
"They closed the institute, and I had no choice but to leave. I could only stay in the lab and be forced to conduct research activities."
"Later, this research institute caught a mermaid."
Baili Xin interrupted the human-faced monster and asked, "How long ago did it happen?"
The human-faced monster thought for a long time, and finally pointed to the "X" on the wall, "Two years earlier than this."
Baili Xin: "."
He still remembered that when he first entered this copy, the system introduced the background and said that the blue-tailed mermaid was captured not very long ago, only in the past two years.
But the "X" on the wall of the human-faced monster represents a timeline of almost ten years. If it is two years earlier, it would be twelve years ago.
In other words, this research institute had captured a mermaid for the first time twelve years ago!
These mermaids now are not the first time they have captured mermaids!
Baili Xin looked at the human-faced monster: "Please continue."
The human-faced monster nodded, and the mermaid in its arms began to struggle again. The human-faced monster gently patted the mermaid's back soothingly. As the human-faced monster patted gently, the mermaid's movements slowed down again.
Until finally, the mermaid's arms fell quietly to the side of the human-faced monster, and her breathing became even and rhythmic, and it seemed that she had fallen asleep.
The human-faced monster saw the mermaid sleeping, and then continued: "That is a female mermaid."
"She is my lover and the mother of this child."
The expression on Baili Xin's face finally began to crack. He looked at the human-faced monster in surprise, then looked at the mermaid sleeping in its arms.
child
The child of a mermaid and a human
Human-faced monster: "But when that mermaid came, I didn't know that we would have such a development."
"That was a beautiful female mermaid. But she was very cruel at the time. She was very powerful and could easily kill people with water. Many experimenters died because of this."
"At the time, I was insignificant and of no help to the research progress, but I took on the task of taking care of the mermaid."
“I was also scared at first.”
"But I later discovered that the mermaid was very pitiful. Although it was ferocious, its ferocity was only to protect itself, using offense as defense."
"It was frightened and scared, so it kept attacking people."
"I sang to it, talked to it... and gradually it smiled at me."
"Then we fell in love."
"We broke through the species barrier and walked together."
"Mermaids are not animals, they are intelligent creatures. My love has even learned the human language. It's just that it only speaks to me."
"I want to take it and escape. It can't be here. Its home is in the ocean."
"I planned my escape."
"However, two days before it was about to escape, it was found to be pregnant."
"No one at the research institute doubted that it was my child. They thought it was another mermaid's child before the mermaid was captured."
"But, since her pregnancy was discovered, the institute has stepped up its monitoring. I can't find any chance for her to escape."
"Finally, one night, I found the opportunity. I hugged it, which was still a mermaid, and rushed out of the laboratory. I escaped according to the planned route."
"But, it was just a trap."
“We’ve been caught.”
“We’ve been exposed.”
"They are reluctant to touch the mermaid, but it's OK with me."
"They captured me and performed experiments on me."
"Maybe it's because of my special physique, or maybe it's because I've been exposed to the chemical environment for a long time, which has increased my resistance, or maybe... it protected me. I didn't die, I survived."
"They conducted a series of experiments on me."
"My body has mutated."
"No matter what kind of injury I have, I will not die."
"They can't kill me."
"Eventually, I became their most frequently used experimental subject. Every time they conducted experiments on me, they would bring the mermaid to me."
"They didn't let us talk, but they told me a lot of news about mermaids."
"Three months later, the mermaid gave birth to our child. A boy, without a fish tail, who was no different from a human."
Baili Xin: "..."
Human-faced monster: "Mermaid children grow faster than normal human children. When they are one year old, they already look like three-year-old human children. At that time, the researchers wanted to take our children away from the mermaids."
"The mermaid summoned the ocean, trying to flood the institute and take the child back."
"But it has just given birth and is very weak."
"But in the chaos, the child disappeared. In the confusion, I hid him in my thick fur."
"The mermaid didn't know. It thought the child was gone and cursed the research institute."
"All researchers have been cursed by the mermaids."
Baili Xin: "..."
The curse of the mermaid, this is the curse of the mermaid.
Could it be that those green-skinned monsters in the tunnel became like that because of the curse of this mermaid
Because he hated the mermaids and turned himself into this, he lives there and hunts mermaids instinctively.
"And my mermaid also died in that curse."
"Later, the higher-ups thought this place was unlucky, so they hired someone to seal the institute in the sewer."
"When those people were cleaning up this institute, they wanted to kill me to vent their anger, but I couldn't die, so they sealed me up here and imprisoned me here for eternity."
The human-faced monster opened its arms, revealing its belly hidden under its fur.
There were crisscross wounds on its white belly. "At first, I used my own flesh to feed it and it grew up." "Then, it disappeared once. About half a year later, when I was worried about it, it came back with wounds all over its body. It could even become a mermaid."
"I think that's its mother, protecting it and blessing it in the dark."
"Although my love is dead, the curse of the mermaid has not disappeared."
“It’s always there.”
"This is its punishment for humans and protection for mermaids. Anyone who attempts to touch the taboo will eventually be killed by the taboo."
"..." After listening quietly to the story of the human-faced monster, Baili Xin sighed silently.
For some lives, they really don’t know whether the human world is more hellish or death is happier.
Baili Xin looked at the human-faced monster: "So even if I take it away, you won't die here?"
The human-faced monster laughed twice, but his smile was uglier than crying. Two lines of tears slowly fell from the corners of his wrinkled eyes. "For me, living is a punishment, and death is a relief. I want to die."
"…" Baili Xin, "Do you really want to die?"
Human-faced monster: "Yes, I want to be free. Can you help me?"
Baili Xin shook his head: "I don't know how I can help you?"
Human-faced monster: "Your friend has been cursed by a mermaid."
"My love's body is missing. If you can find my love's body and return its soul to its homeland, perhaps the curse can be lifted and the curse of the mermaid can be lifted."
"As for me, it would be best if you could kill me."
Baili Xin: "!"
The body of a mermaid.
Baili Xin suddenly thought of something and quickly stood up from the ground, "I may know where your lover's body is. I will come again tomorrow! Wait for me!"
After he said this, he turned around quickly and hurriedly left the underground space.
As he left the sewer, he opened the private chat and sent a message to Xia Chi.
Blissin: Are you there
However, there was no response to him.
Baili Xin gritted his teeth and quickened his pace. He walked very fast, and it took him only two or three minutes to get back to the basement instead of more than ten minutes.
After putting on invisibility, Baili Xin rushed out of the research institute and started running towards the foot of the mountain.
I hope Tan Yue hasn't left yet, I hope I can still catch up.
But it seemed that his luck had not been very good. When he reached the foot of the mountain, he could only see the deep sea in the quiet darkness, and nothing else.
An hour had passed since he and Tan Yue separated. One hour was enough time for Tan Yue to dive deep into the sea.
If what the human-faced monster said was true, then in that maze of tunnels, the body of the cursed mermaid should be preserved in one of them.
I just saw how aggressive Tan Yue was, so the commotion must have been quite big.
How could he convey the message of the female mermaid's curse to the other party
Damn it.
The only submarine was given to Tan Yue.
It would be great if he was still the mermaid in the Deep Sea Mermaid copy and could swim.
The voice of the escape system sounded in Baili Xin's mind at this time, Lord Baili Xin, of course you can become a mermaid.
Baili Xin:
Escape System: If this is the same world view as the previous deep sea dungeon, you can become a mermaid in this dungeon. Because your previous character is a deep sea mermaid, theoretically speaking, you have the mermaid buff in this dungeon. As long as you have a link connecting the two dungeons, you can activate the mermaid buff.
Baili Xin took out the mermaid heart hanging around his neck: Is this it
Escape System: Yes, Master Baili Xin. Please try to see if you can activate the mermaid buff.
Although Baili Xin found it a bit mysterious, since the system said so, he tried to hold the Mermaid Heart tightly in his hand and silently recited the Mermaid Buff in his heart.
The next second, he felt his legs starting to get hot, and his bones and joints began to make crackling sounds.
Baili Xin quickly got into the water and quickly took off his pants.
He looked at his legs with some curiosity, and saw that his originally slender legs quickly glued together, and then grew scales and stretched out at a speed visible to the naked eye.
About two minutes later, he found that he could breathe underwater although he had to hold his breath.
Baili Xin tentatively touched the side of his ear, and found that his ear had turned into a huge fan shape, and cheeks grew on both sides of his face.
From the waist down it also turns into a huge blue fish tail.
Baili Xin tried to shake the fish tail to find the feeling that had disappeared long ago, and after a brief period of unfamiliarity, he regained the ability to effectively operate the fish tail.
After getting used to the skillful use of the fish tail, Baili Xin quickly shook his tail and swam towards the underwater tunnel.
He just flicked his tail slightly, and his body shot out like an arrow.
The fish around him seemed to be still in his eyes, and everything seemed to be in his hands.
On the way to find the tunnel, Baili Xin saw the tracker produced by the research institute again.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, clenched his hands in the sea, and a faintly glowing blue trident appeared in his hand.
He swung his tail fin again, and his body instantly turned into a meteor in the sea, rushing straight towards the detectors!
________________________________________
Underground laboratory.
All the screens went black at the same time. In the second before the black screens, they only captured a ghostly blue phantom.
The blond doctor suddenly stood up from his chair, "What's going on?!"
The remote pilot was also somewhat bewildered, and replied in fear and trepidation: "The detector was attacked."
Dr. Blond: "Of course I know I was attacked! Bring me the last video!"
The operator quickly pointed and put the final images of all the detectors on the big screen at once.
There are more than a dozen screens in total, all showing blue phantoms.
The speed was so fast that the high-speed camera could only see a blurred blue block.
The blond doctor was still shocked: "Is this a marine creature?"
"How can this be?!"
"The detector's farthest range is over a thousand meters. How could it appear in different shots at the same second? How fast is this monster? When did this monster appear on the seabed?!"
No one spoke.
They looked at the blond doctor in silence, then they looked at each other, and saw fear in each other's eyes.
Their detector can support high-speed mobile photography, and can capture speeds within 1000 meters per second.
But... they couldn't take a clear picture of the monster. So how fast was the monster
The shadows on the two farthest detectors looked exactly the same, which meant that the monster had arrived in front of them in just milliseconds or even microseconds.
Not only that, it destroyed all the detectors in an instant!
Because the detector was suddenly swallowed by a whale last time, Dr. Blonde specially purchased a batch of detectors with faster speed and harder shells this time.
They have tested it and found that even a weight of ten tons will not damage the detector's casing.
But this underwater monster did it.
What kind of combat power does this monster have
The blond doctor was shocked for several meters and then suddenly shouted: "It's faith, it must be the faith of the mermaid!"
"Apart from this, I can't think of any creature in the sea more terrifying than a mermaid!"
________________________________________
Studio.
Is it possible that what’s scarier than a mermaid is a merman
Break your own records.
No, no, no, it should be the Xinshen brand mermaid.
But how did Xin Shen suddenly become a mermaid? It doesn't make sense.
No, no, no, take a closer look. What is the name of the item that God Xin is wearing around his neck? The Mermaid's Heart. Where did he get this item? And the statue on the bottom of the sea that looks like God Xin's face, isn't that a bit too coincidental? I'm wondering, is it possible that many, many, many years ago, God Xin once lived in this world, but the era he entered was earlier.
Didn't you notice? When Xin Shen was filling in the answers to Task 3, he filled in the three words "Baili Xin" for the first time. Xin Shen is not a narcissistic person, and he will not take risks with the number of answers. He must have a reason for filling it in like this. As for the reason, is it possible that he discovered something? For example, he has been to this world view before, or for example, he really helped the ancestors of the mermaids before, and the mermaid heart might be left behind by the ancestor's copy.
Wow, there are such details? I didn't even notice it. Shit, I seem to be watching the live broadcast just to make up the numbers. You are all Sherlock Holmes.
Ah! I didn't notice that either. Now that you put it that way, it's true. But I've basically seen all of Xin Shen's dungeons. He hasn't entered any mermaid dungeons before. Could it be the time when he entered the Diamond Mountain dungeon
No, no, no, that's not right. I'm a die-hard fan of Xin Shen. I remember that Xin Shen once entered a single-player dungeon at the beginning. After he came out, his level was much higher. Maybe it was that time.
How long ago was that
It should have been in the first few dungeons, because I remember that when he went to the Undead dungeon to rescue Zhou Guang, he already had the Mermaid Heart. At that time, he used this item to save many players.
Yes, yes, yes, I remember that too. There were hundreds of people, and the system almost got stuck.
Help, it turns out that Xin has secretly turned into a mermaid without telling us, so exciting, why don't you show us Xin's mermaid scene. Do you think the boss was in that instance at that time? If so, what was the boss doing that time? If it's under the sea, it seems that there are not many options, right
Uh, a bad association suddenly came to my mind. Aren’t there slippery tentacle monsters under the sea
… Shit, my XP is working, there should be a book here.
I’m still drawing, I’m still drawing, stop making noise!
The mermaid look of God Xin is so handsome. I declare that I am blown away by God Xin, especially when he raised the harpoon to attack those detectors just now.
That's called a trident, not a fucking harpoon, can you please not be so rustic
________________________________________
Baili Xin destroyed all the detectors before continuing to move forward.
He swam very fast. The ocean was like a tiger with wings for him. Driven by the sea water, he swam very fast, but in a moment he caught up with Tan Yue's submarine.
He quietly approached and was about to greet Tan Yue outside the submarine when he saw Tan Yue looking at himself in a mirror through the window.
"Xia Chi"'s upper body has been taken off, revealing the tight lines hidden inside.
Baili Xin: "…&"
Buddy, I'm not thinking wrongly, but can you be a little more normal
Perhaps he sensed someone was around, Tan Yue suddenly looked over with a sharp gaze, and in the blink of an eye his clothes were put back on.
When he saw Baili Xin's face through the transparent glass, he was stunned at first, and then his expression became unconsciously embarrassed.
He stood there and straightened his clothes, then put the mirror away in his backpack.
After everything was packed up, he slowly walked to Baili Xin, thought hard for two seconds, and then explained: "I'm checking to see how serious the curse is."
"Don't treat me like a pervert."
Baili Xin pursed his lips to show his disbelief.
Tan Yue was a little panicked: "It's true! It's already this time, how could I still have the mind to do something else? I'm not your man."
Baili Xin: "???"
How to offend two people easily with just one sentence
Tan Yue did it.
Tan Yue, who seemed to be very serious before, is now making things worse and making more and more mistakes. He has also realized this and simply keeps silent about it.
There was silence in the submarine for a long time before Tan Yue raised his head again and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Tan Yue asked in confusion: "Strange, why are you outside? How did you become a mermaid?"
