After the octopus's evil voice fell, there was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground, and the octopus slowly dragged a person out from the next room.
Xia Qi squatted on the ground motionless, thinking, this time, will the octopus drag out a young master or a macho man
After a while, the octopus walked up the stairs, and there were "dong", "dong", "dong" sounds of people falling to the ground on the stairs.
After the octopus gradually walked away, Xia Qi walked carefully to the door and reached out to open it a crack.
He made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and decided to follow and take a look.
If he just sits there in the room and waits for death, he will never know what the octopus is doing, nor will he know how to crack the secret of the copy.
This time, no teammates will help him, he can only rely on himself.
After the octopus's sound could no longer be heard, Xia Qi tiptoed out of the door, then closed his door quietly.
Unexpectedly, when he just passed the next room, there was a sound of door handle beside him.
Is there anyone awake
He turned his head in surprise and accidentally met the eyes of the person behind the door.
At this time, there was a man standing behind the crack of the door next door. He was holding the door with one hand and was about to close it, and the surprise on his face could not be concealed.
"Why did you wake up?" the young master said in amazement.
"How did you wake up?" Xia Qi did not answer him directly, but threw the question back.
The young master was choked by him and did not answer Xia Qi's question. Instead, he pursed his lips and raised his hand to close the door.
Seeing this, Xia Qi couldn't help but frown and show contempt.
Looking at the young master's appearance, doesn't he intend to save his teammate - the tough guy
It seemed that Xia Qi's condemning look was too obvious. The young master smiled at him faintly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by God. It's useless for you to look at me. I won't save him."
Considering the many changes that happened in the past few days, although the young master seemed to have recovered on the outside, his eyes were tired and his mental state seemed to be very bad.
Xia Qi was silent for a while. The young master's behavior was too cold and mean.
Seeing that Xia Qi didn't answer, the young master coughed again, and opened his mouth for a rare moment, his eyes revealing a bit of gloom: "You don't know what I have paid for. I'm not doing this for myself."
Xia Qi felt quite disgusted in his heart that the young master achieved his goals by hurting others and even thought it was natural. He and Cha Gong were a perfect match.
It was his own impulse that made him unable to resist Cha Gong's life-saving grace and he agreed to his repeated requests.
"If... the person he just dragged away was Cha Gong, would you save him?" Xia Qi suddenly asked.
The young master folded his hands, his expression still grim, and replied: "Didn't I tell you? I can't."
The young master couldn't even save Cha Gong from falling into the reincarnation hell, so how could he save people from death conditions in the copy
Xia Qi looked at him deeply. The young master's ability to stick to one path to the end was a skill. He was indeed worthy of being a high-level player.
"Aren't you afraid that your victims will retaliate against you? Aren't you afraid that you'll get into trouble if you do too many bad things?" Xia Qi rebuked coldly.
The young master burst into laughter as if he had heard a joke, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. "Hahahaha... Xia Qi, don't you know what this game is? This is a sinful game that makes people unable to live or die. The worse you are, the longer you can live!"
"No one can take revenge on me. I'm waiting for the day when the game judges me!" The young master grinned exaggeratedly, his expression even revealing a bit of madness.
After finishing his speech, he raised his hand impatiently, and in front of Xia Qi, he closed the cold door with a "bang".
After a while, there were a few noises from the door, and the young master seemed to go to sleep peacefully, as if his teammate Mengnan had never been his teammate.
Seeing the young master's series of outrageous actions, Xia Qi was speechless.
Without stopping any longer, Xia Qi continued to chase after him.
The conversation with the young master just now took up a lot of time. At this time, the octopus has already boarded the deck.
Xia Qi moved quickly while lowering the sound of his breathing. After about 3 minutes, he finally reached the deck.
In order to get a better view and facilitate escape in case of emergencies, Xia Qi squatted behind a wine barrel at the cabin door.
After hiding himself, Xia Qi slowly poked his head out.
I saw the octopus standing on the bow, with the surging sea in front of it.
After a while, the octopus stretched out a tentacle and picked up the sleeping man on the floor.
“Hua La La—”
Waves nearly five meters high came towards the bow of the ship like angry dragons. With a "bang", the waves hit the bow of the ship and the top of the octopus's head, soaking the entire deck.
However, facing these huge waves that looked like thousands of iron cavalry, the octopus was not afraid at all. Instead, it became more and more happy and sang strange songs with great excitement.
After a while, the waves on the bow became more and more violent, and it made countless roars that resounded through the heavens and the earth. Countless raindrops fell from the sky, and even Xia Qi, who was hiding behind the wine barrel, felt a chill on his face.
The octopus's tentacles tightly grasped the edge of the boat. Amid the strong wind and huge waves, he sang loudly. As he sang, his tune gradually became softer, the waves inexplicably calmed down, and many white, sparkling things appeared in the waves.
Countless sparkling pearl fish leaped out from the waves, drew several white lines in the sky, and then quickly dived into the sea.
As more and more pearl fish appeared in the waves, a vague shadow slowly appeared between the waves, and finally condensed into the phantom of a mermaid.
When Xia Qi saw the person coming, his breathing suddenly stopped and he almost forgot to breathe.
Compared to the living, breathing mermaid in his room, the shadow of the mermaid standing in the waves looked like a clay sculpture. His face was so blurry that his facial features could not be seen at all. He only had a pair of dark green eyes, making him look like something that was not completely dead.
His eyes were fierce but unfocused, revealing an endless emptiness as he looked at the octopus.
Looking at the glowing golden trident in the mermaid shadow's hand, Xia Qi's heart beat incredibly fast.
His mind was suddenly in a mess. It turned out that the mysterious people who had been "protecting" their sailboat were actually mermaids!
Xia Qi widened his eyes and pinched his palms in disbelief.
At this time, the octopus stretched out its tentacles, pushed the man forward, and said excitedly: "Spirit of the Sea God, please judge these sinful sacrifices and help me realize my wish!"
After the octopus's voice fell, the mermaid's shadow in the waves remained indifferent, with a calm expression.
It was not until the octopus brought the strong man to the side of the waves that the mermaid moved and slowly raised the trident in her hand.
Watching the octopus do all this, Xia Qi couldn't suppress the fear in his heart.
He never expected that this mermaid was actually a soulless creature!
It turns out that from the very beginning, Octopus asked them to go into the water to catch pearl fish and pry away the pearl reef in order to summon out the terrifying mermaid shadow.
So, the mermaid he saw under the sea at that time and who killed the first male player was the shadow of this mermaid.
Xia Qi’s mind was in a mess, what was the relationship between this brutal mermaid shadow and the mermaid that appeared beside him every day
Where does he want to take him? !
When Xia Qi was thinking hard, the trident in the hands of the mermaid was about to pierce the throat of the tough guy...
In a flash, maybe it was because this tough guy was destined to die, a wave exploded above his head, and countless water lines hit his face and eyes.
The cold water seemed to have worked. The macho man's eyelids moved, and then he woke up instantly!
"What are you doing?!" As soon as the strong man woke up, he saw the trident against his throat, and he was scared to death.
If he had woken up one second later, he would have gone to heaven to see the King of Hell!
The instinct for survival made the macho man secrete adrenaline quickly. He grabbed the trident with one hand, then pulled the trident towards the tentacles wrapped around his waist, letting the trident pierce into the tentacles fiercely.
"Ah!" The octopus let out a scream as its tentacle was suddenly pierced through by the trident.
While the octopus was loosening its tentacles, the strong man grabbed the octopus's other tentacles with one hand, then climbed up with a barb, and instantly jumped back onto the deck with the help of the octopus's power!
Without waiting for the octopus's other tentacles to swing towards him, the strong man rolled a few times and left the octopus's attack range.
Even Xia Qi, who was far away, couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "Great!" after seeing the tough guy's skills!
After the tough guy escaped completely, the shadow of the mermaid in the waves suddenly began to fade, and the waves also tended to recede. Seeing this, the octopus was suddenly shocked, and all eight tentacles trembled with fear. He shouted at the shadow in the waves: "No—"
He hadn't even finished his shout when, in just a moment, the remaining soul in the waves dissipated.
At the last moment when the residual soul dissipated, the shadow of the mermaid suddenly raised its head and seemed to glance towards where Xia Qi was hiding.
As the waves gradually subsided, the octopus began to tremble violently. He swelled nearly twice as large as a balloon, and his entire body turned from black to a burnt red. Then, the octopus roared at the tough guy: "How dare you disrupt my sacrificial ceremony! I will kill you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the tentacles of the octopus suddenly expanded and smashed down hard at the strong man.
Although the octopus came fiercely, the tough guy was no pushover. He took out his single-edged sword and wielded it with great vigor.
He fought and retreated at the same time, constantly fending off the octopus's attacks. Judging from the direction he was retreating, it seemed that he was planning to move towards the cabin.
Looking at the macho man's jumping around fighting and his retreat route, Xia Qi had to retreat to the cabin first to avoid being burned.
"Ouch!" The octopus accidentally had another tentacle chopped off.
While the octopus was crying out in pain, the strong man picked up an anchor and threw it at the octopus, then covered his broken arm and staggered down to the cabin.
The macho man was breathing rapidly, running around in the cabin like a headless fly. Just as he turned a corner, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and pulled him towards a pile of wine barrels.
"Shh!"
The macho man was forced to squat down with his head pressed down.
Xia Qi held the macho man's head with one hand and put the other hand in front of his lips, signaling him to keep quiet.
The macho man didn't react for a moment and was in a daze. Xia Qi was so anxious that he was furious. He quickly picked up a wine barrel and poured it on the macho man's head.
Then he crawled into a wine barrel himself.
The two men squatted in the wine barrel and waited quietly. After a while, the injured octopus chased down from the deck.
"Come out! I'm going to strangle you to death!" The octopus growled angrily.
With a "bang", the octopus smashed a table. Then, there was a series of ping-pong noises, and many plates and bowls in the kitchen were also smashed by him.
When the octopus came near them, he laughed again and said in the voice of a captain: "My little darling, come out quickly!"
The octopus searched the cabin for a long time but couldn't find them. In desperation, the octopus smashed a few cabinets again to vent its anger and left in a huff.
After the surroundings finally returned to calm, Xia Qi lifted the wine barrel above his head.
The reason why he chose to hide in the empty rum barrel was because the captain was naturally addicted to rum. Even during the day, the captain's body was filled with a strong smell of alcohol. As long as they hid in the barrel and were filled with the smell of rum, the octopus would not be able to identify their location.
The strong man took down his wine barrel and leaned against the wall behind him exhausted.
He looked at Xia Qi with a complicated expression. He didn't expect that in the end, it was Xia Qi who helped him.
"Xia Qi, thank you." The tough guy let out a tired breath and said sincerely, "How can I repay you?"
He has always been loyal. It was Xia Qi who saved him tonight. From now on, as long as Xia Qi asks, he will be willing to go through fire and water for him.
Xia Qi looked at him calmly: "You escaped by yourself."
The strong man escaped from the octopus because of his luck and ability. Xia Qi chose to save him because the octopus's sacrificial ceremony had been interrupted. Even if he didn't save him, they would still encounter the terrifying skeleton ship tomorrow.
Whether he saved the tough guy or not, it would not change the fate of the entire ship. Therefore, his behavior was really just because he couldn't stand the octopus's character.
The tough guy shook his head: "Please make me a condition, otherwise I will feel bad."
After all, he had followed the young master before and had never treated Xia Qi well.
Xia Qi thought for a while, and suddenly said: "I want the box in your hand, can you give it to me?"
Ever since he learned that these boxes contained parts of the mermaids, he was eager to take back all the boxes, regardless of whether they contained props for passing the level or not.
Hearing this, the tough guy heaved a long sigh of relief and said, "The box is in the room. I'll give it to you tomorrow."
Xia Qi suddenly felt fortunate for the wise decision he had just made. If he had not rescued Mengnan from the octopus, the box would have belonged to Mengnan's teammate, the young master.
Trying to snatch the box back from the young master might be harder than saving a person.
"Okay." Xia Qi nodded and slowly stood up.
Unexpectedly, Xia Qi's request was so simple. Mengnan was once again incredulous. Even after Xia Qi had left, he still kept expressing his gratitude to him from behind: "Thank you, Xia Qi..."
The next morning, the tough guy kept his promise and secretly put the box into Xia Qi's pocket when Xia Qi went into the bathroom.
After stuffing it in, the tough guy winked at Xia Qi.
Then, the tough guy opened his voice and cursed at Xia Qi: "Can't you see I'm still brushing my teeth? What are you doing in here? Are your eyes in your eyes?"
Xia Qi was surprised at the speed at which the tough guy's expression changed, and thought, could this man be an expert in singing martial arts roles
Before Xia Qi could react, a sarcastic voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Tsk tsk, you're talking shit so early in the morning, why are you still brushing your teeth? Don't waste your toothbrush!"
Xia Qi's eardrums were about to be punctured by the screaming voice. He turned his head and saw that, as expected, Teacher Tony, who had the shrillest voice among all the players, was standing behind him.
At this time, Tony was glaring at the tough guy. He thought that what the tough guy said just now was directed at him.
The tough guy was humiliated by Tony and immediately became furious: "What are you looking for again?"
"You scold me, so of course I will scold you!"
"roll!"
Seeing the two enemies quarreling again, Xia Qi quickly retreated from the bathroom. Before the fighting spread to the water area, he quickly fetched a bucket of water and went to his room to wash up.
After Xia Qi finished washing up, he went to the kitchen to get some food and water, and then carried the girl out of his room.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the girl behind him seemed to have become much lighter...
At this time, next to him, the strong man also enthusiastically helped the young master out of the room.
Where the young master couldn't see, the macho man suddenly turned around, winked at Xia Qi, and shook his head in disappointment.
Looking at Mengnan's expression, Xia Qi was shocked. It turned out that Mengnan knew that the young master did not save him yesterday.
Just looking at the young master's contented look on his face as he enjoyed the service from his teammates, he seemed unaware that his teammates had become disloyal.
Xia Qi shook his head helplessly.
The young master's cleverness backfired, and who knows how far he can go in this game after losing the protection of his teammates.
Xia Qi carried the girl on his back as he walked in the corridor, reminding everyone one by one that they would encounter danger today, and then came to the deck.
At this time, it should have been an early morning when the sun rose and went out to sea, but there was no sun at all. The sailboat was shrouded in thick fog, in which it was raining continuously, revealing a strong smell of death.
Xia Qi carried the girl to a gondola, nervously waiting for the accident to happen.
After a while, the sky above the ship was covered with dark clouds, and rolling black fog came from the depths of the fog. However, the skeleton ship that Xia Qi imagined did not arrive.
Just as he was wondering, suddenly, the thick fog gradually dissipated, and in the gap, a man's singing voice rang out...
As the singing began, Xia Qi felt a sharp pain in his temple. He staggered two steps, leaned against the wall of the boat, and slowly slid down weakly.
He hugged the girl and sat down together. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the weight on his hands suddenly became lighter.
Xia Qi looked down and saw that the girl who was originally lying in his arms suddenly turned into countless blue bubbles. Those bubbles floated into the gaps in the mist with the breeze!
