"no."
The voice that responded to Xiao Gao seemed very... indescribable, with a sharp and thin tone, and a very slight voice that could be easily ignored.
The voice was certainly not unpleasant, but just a little bit weird - such a childish tone sounded like it was spoken by a young child who had not yet used a voice changer. However, if one had to use the word young and childish to describe it, it would seem a bit strange and incongruous.
Xiao Gao paused slightly and subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from.
What she discovered was somewhat unexpected, yet reasonable, that the person who spoke was one of the "mermaids" that were sinking in the pool.
It was one of the mermaids with a slightly bulging belly who responded to her.
At this time, the mermaid was still immersed in the pool, her thick black-gray tail flapping slightly from time to time, and her wet hair stuck tightly to her cheeks and neck. She seemed to have her eyes closed the whole time, and only opened her eyes and looked over after making a sound.
The bottom of his eyes was a clear and transparent blue.
It was also because of the strange silence displayed by the mermaids in the pool when they first entered the secret room, or perhaps it was due to the various stereotypes that captive humans could not even learn to speak. So before just now, the players did not even think that these mermaids could communicate, they could speak, and they could get answers to any questions.
When Xiao Gao stared at her blankly, he was misled by her indescribable face for a moment. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and looked at the front with some caution. It looked as magical as a creature in the legend.
"you… "
"I am their companion. Not a 'mother,'" she explained.
After a slight pause, he continued to explain as if nothing had happened.
"We were all sacrificed in the same batch. Our mothers had used up all their energy and were no longer of any use, so we were turned into 'feed'."
When she described "feed" so coldly, the players also remembered the distinct black eggs that were previously called feed by the villagers and were scattered in the pool water.
It was a bit creepy for a moment.
"The sacrifices that eat these feeds will also be cultivated to become qualified consumables for the next generation. The vast majority of them will be eaten directly, or used as sacrifices to the 'gods' after being raised to maturity. And a very small number of mature individuals among them will be kept and transformed into more perfect mothers - so they will eat most of the body residues left by the previous generation of mothers as tools for breeding new sacrifices."
Her eyelashes were trembling slightly, not because of any emotional fluctuations, but seemed to be just normal movement, and some moisture on them was dripping down with this movement.
Because the topic being discussed is so thrilling, the tone at this moment is really too bland.
It was as if she was telling a strange and cruel story that had nothing to do with her and happened in another world. But at this moment, everyone present knew that it was the bloody truth of what happened to her.
