Soon, Gu Jiu knew the reason.
Two mermaid dolls and five small paper figures rolled out from the pile of rubbish in the corner.
Five little paper figures were hung on the mermaid doll, fighting with it fiercely, without any distinction between self and others. The mermaid doll looked angry and resentful, wishing to tear the little paper figures hung on her body into pieces.
These non-humans were fighting fiercely, but strangely they made no noise and just rolled all the way to Gu Jiu's feet.
When their way was blocked by human feet, they suddenly stiffened, then turned their heads to look over in unison.
Gu Jiu folded his arms, looked down at them, and said coldly: "Hey, the fight is very intense."
The little paper people were clinging to the mermaid doll, as quiet as chickens.
The mermaid dolls still looked at her with anger in their eyes, but without the resentment they had yesterday. Now they were even more resentful towards the little paper man that they had been fighting with all night. In front of a bigger enemy, the enemy in front of them actually retreated a little.
Gu Jiu waved at them, "Keep on with your work, I won't bother you anymore."
When she returned to the room, she saw Lu Ji folding paper again. She smiled and said, "Aji, what happened to the mermaid doll and the little paper man on the balcony? Have they been fighting since last night?"
Lu Ji nodded, but didn't tell them how he threatened them not to make any noise in the middle of the night.
After hearing no sound for a long time, he looked over in confusion and saw Gu Jiu sitting on a chair by the window, his chin supported by his hands, staring at the ocean outside the window, as if thinking about something.
"Ajiu?" he called out, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Whenever her eyes focused on irrelevant people or things, he would feel bad and have gloomy and destructive impulses. He vaguely felt that this was wrong. He heard that many people did not like "people" with such dark minds. They preferred great and kind people. However, this was his nature and he could not change it. He could only try his best not to let her know and often pretended to be indifferent.
Gu Jiu came back to his senses and smiled, "What's wrong? Are you tired?"
Lu Ji wanted to say no, but the last words he opened became "a little bit".
"Then let's rest together and take a nap." Gu Jiu pulled him to bed to rest.
Lu Ji looked at the hand that was holding his. It was slender and soft, and the human body temperature seeped into his cold skin, as if even his cold heart was warmed by it.
The two of them took a three-hour nap and it was already evening when they woke up.
Gu Jiu yawned and got up from the bed. The glass window of the balcony was wide open, the sea breeze blew in, and a faint fishy smell lingered in the air.
The fishy smell came from the sea and was not there before the nap.
This made Gu Jiu feel helpless. He originally thought that the mermaid doll was not threatening and he could open the doors and windows for ventilation. However, he didn't expect the sea breeze to smell like this. It would be better to close the doors and windows and keep it stuffy.
The two decided to go and see how the other players were doing today.
When they came to the lobby on the first floor, they found that there were not many players here. They didn't know whether they hadn't come back yet or were resting upstairs. The two of them didn't care and walked out of the villa and walked along the villa.
"Gu Jiu, Lu Ji, what are you doing there?"
Ge Guang's voice rang out, Gu Jiu looked up and saw him standing on the third-floor balcony, looking over here.
"Enjoy the scenery." Gu Jiu replied.
Ge Guang had an expression that said "are you kidding me?", waved at them, and turned back to the room.
After a while, Ge Guang and Qi Yuheng also came outside the villa.
Ge Guang was still wearing a mask, and Qi Yuheng looked haggard. He had clearly just rested for an afternoon, but the more he rested, the more haggard he looked.
Gu Jiu asked, "What happened to Boss Qi?"
Qi Yuheng covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and said nothing.
"Boss Qi said there was a smell in the sea breeze that made him want to vomit." Ge Guang said helplessly, sniffing the air hard and muttering, "Obviously there is no smell."
Gu Jiu: "... Actually, it tastes really good."
Qi Yuheng suddenly looked at Gu Jiu, as if he had found a fellow traveler. "You smelled it too? It's that kind of rotten, fishy smell, right?" Seeing her nod, he turned and glared at Ge Guang. "Now you believe I'm not talking nonsense, right?"
Ge Guang immediately said: "I don't think you are talking nonsense, I just think your nose is different from ordinary people, more sensitive, and different from ordinary people."
He muttered in his heart, could it be that people with mysophobia have such a sensitive nose that they can smell any strange smell, as if they were poisoned. Gu Jiu said that she also smelled it, but she didn't look as haggard as Boss Qi. Look at this young lady, she looked so calm, as if she really came here to travel and broaden her horizons.
Seeing Qi Yuheng's face was really ugly, Gu Jiu suggested: "Why don't you wear a gas mask?"
Qi Yuheng: "... No, it's ugly."
Because it's ugly, should I continue to be disgusted by the smell of the sea breeze
Gu Jiu didn't quite understand the psychology of the mysophobic man. He smiled faintly and continued to observe the black strips climbing on the walls of the villa. Was this some kind of seaweed, vines, or liquid left by some creature
Lu Ji's eyes flashed slightly, and he crushed a piece while no one was paying attention.
Qi Yuheng finally couldn't stand the smell of the sea breeze, so he covered his mouth and nose and hid back in the villa.
Ge Guang was interested in the "scenery" that Gu Jiu and the others were enjoying, so he stayed outside with them for a long time. He even tried to pick at the black strips on the wall himself, but after struggling for a while, he was unable to break off even one.
"This thing is so hard." He secretly said in amazement, "Gu Jiu, do you know what this is?"
Gu Jiu shook his head.
Until it was almost dark, the three of them still hadn't figured out the problem, so they had to go back to the villa.
As soon as we entered the villa, we saw two pairs of "couples" hugging each other clingingly. The scene was so eye-catching that all the players present felt like they were going blind.
One of the female players said, "Brother Wang, this is the fish eye I found today. Look how beautiful it is! I want to give you the most beautiful fish eye and make you the happiest man in the world."
A touching male voice sounded, "Sister Shu, I am so happy! I also want to make you the happiest woman in the world. This is the fish eye I give you."
The two of them exchanged glances as if they were alone, and glanced at the people around them with pride.
The players who were being watched by them were confused and didn't know what there was to be proud of. They didn't think this disgusting thing was pretty at all.
Another pair of muscular male "couples" were also stickyly exchanging gifts.
The reactions of these two pairs of players are very consistent with the test task announced by the butler today, "Give the fish eyes to your lover."
"Brother Nian, you actually gave me such a precious gift. I am so touched."
Nian Ge's face turned pale, "This is just a mission, don't think too much about it."
The thin monkey said affectionately: "I also have a gift for you, Brother Nian, you must protect it well."
Brother Nian: "… This is just a mission, don't you understand what I'm saying?"
"I know, brother Nian, you are just shy."
"… "
After discovering that Skinny Monkey only listened to what he wanted to hear and ignored what he didn't want to hear, Brother Nian finally couldn't bear it anymore. He twisted his partner's arm and pressed him to the ground to prevent him from doing anything terrible and disgusting again.
The normal players present looked at the couple with sympathy.
The players who ate sashimi have become abnormal. Not only have they become "love-brained", but even their cognition seems to have changed. It is unknown whether they can pass the level smoothly under this circumstance.
Gu Jiu discovered that twenty players were here. It seemed that today's task was more than enough for the players with their abilities.
When the butler appeared in the living room, the players looked over warily.
The butler ignored the player's defensive look and said, "You have worked hard today. The restaurant has prepared dinner. You can go eat and have a good rest tonight."
I don’t know if it’s their illusion, but this “have a good rest” seems to imply something.
The players did not move, fearing that today's dinner would be the same sashimi as last night. With the victim here, they would not be able to eat the sashimi no matter how tempting it was.
After the butler finished speaking, he left without paying any attention to the player's reaction.
Some players were not interested in dinner, and were even worried that they would not be able to resist the temptation and touch the sashimi. After the butler left, they went straight back to their rooms to rest.
However, the two pairs of "couples" who had eaten sashimi yesterday went to the restaurant with normal expressions.
The players looked towards the restaurant and saw that the four of them sat down together and fed each other sticky food, which made people feel sick.
The skinny monkey who was pinned to the ground shouted, "Brother Nian, let's go have dinner. I'll feed you."
Brother Nian, who was being looked at vaguely by so many people, became annoyed and chopped the skinny monkey on the neck with his blade, knocked him unconscious and dragged him away to prevent him from being embarrassed again.
Seeing this scene, Qi Yuheng's ugly expression recovered a little.
Although his mysophobia became more serious after being stimulated by the fish-faced man, he found that it was still good for him. If Ge Guang also became like the "skinny monkey", he would probably kill someone.
Ge Guang curiously ran to the restaurant to take a look, and came back to tell them: "Today's dinner is still a seafood feast, but without that weird sashimi."
Lu Haidi suddenly realized, "No wonder the butler ignored us just now. Maybe he knew that the players would be on guard, so he didn't prepare anything tonight."
Players just entered the game world yesterday, so they were attacked. They will be on guard starting today. If those sashimi are prepared again, players will never touch them again.
"Maybe the sashimi is quite precious and can't be taken out every day." Ruan Yuan has a different opinion.
No matter what, with these players who have been infected in front of them, no matter how normal the food in the restaurant is, players will not take the initiative to touch it.
After dinner, Gu Jiu took out four small paper figures and handed them to Ruan Yuan, "There may be other situations tonight, so be careful."
Ruan Yuan happily took it and said with a smile: "Thank you, Miss and Ah Ji. At worst, we can just stay awake tonight."
Back in the room, Gu Jiu discovered that the two mermaid dolls and the little paper people had reached a truce.
The mermaid doll sat on the sofa in the room, facing the door, with an expression that seemed angry and resentful. Five little paper men sat beside it, ready to pounce and subdue it at any time.
Gu Jiu glanced over and said, "You can't even beat the little paper man. You are too weak... It seems that I overestimated you."
Is there anything more damaging to one's self-esteem than being looked down upon by humans
The two mermaid dolls were so angry that their sea-blue hair fluttered in the air. Before they could make a move, they were suppressed by five little paper figures.
When Gu Jiu passed by again, he saw the mermaid doll being pinned down on the sofa by five little paper figures, and he said again, "It's useless!"
So useless!
Useless!
use!
