When Ruan Bai woke up again, she could clearly feel that her body was wet, as if soaked in water, and the slightest chill almost penetrated her skin and penetrated into her bones.
She bit the tip of her tongue, and the sharp pain instantly woke up her bewildered brain.
She didn't dare to lose consciousness in an unfamiliar place, let alone the current situation, which was very bad.
Her only thought before she fell into a coma was that Wang Wenwen probably cooperated with an adult man in the village.
And since she is still alive, it means that her thoughts are correct, otherwise she would have lost her legs and died tragically in the wilderness.
It was her negligence.
In escape games, how can danger only come from ghosts, and NPCs are also a threat.
Those adult men whose whereabouts are unknown are really weird.
Ruan Bai frowned, and barely sat up from the ground.
At this moment, she was being tied hands and feet, and thrown into a place like a pool, the surrounding water was as deep as her lower abdomen.
There was a clammy darkness everywhere, almost no light could get in, and there was no way to get out.
The only good thing is that the villagers didn't hurt her for some reason, but just threw her here.
Maybe it was because of seeing her thin and small, or maybe it was because she felt that she would not be able to escape tonight, the rope was tied very loosely, and Ruan Bai broke free without much effort.
And beside her, there happened to be a female white-collar worker who was also tied up.
After being awakened by Ruan Bai's movement, the female white-collar worker tore off the camouflage of kindness on her face, revealing a look of resentment and fear: "I actually lost to a sixteen-year-old man... I was actually deceived by her... "
"Would you like to go out?"
Before she finished speaking, a woman's hoarse voice suddenly sounded around her.
Ruan Bai took a breath.
This is... the voice of a third person.
It's night now, and night happens to be the peak of danger.
Maybe it was too angry, but the female white-collar worker didn't notice something was wrong, but instead cursed back angrily: "Otherwise? Of course I want to go out, dare to lie to me, I will definitely make her look good—"
"That's good, I want to go out too."
The female voice laughed faintly.
Under the extreme excitement, her tone became distorted in an instant: "But I'm not a normal person, I don't have legs... Can you give me your legs?"
As the female voice fell, the resentful voice of the female white-collar worker stopped abruptly.
Ruan Bai's body stiffened, looking out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the expression on the female white-collar's face had froze.
Her body seemed to be split in two by an invisible knife, and her lower/half/body disappeared without a trace.
she died.
The strong bloody smell spread along the female white-collar worker's wound and spread towards the pool water. The dark blood stains merged into the water flow, as if there was still a warm breath.
In a daze, Ruan Bai seemed to understand why those villagers let them go.
Because they knew that she couldn't survive tonight.
After taking away the two legs of the female white-collar worker, the "third party" started to move.
Along with her slow movement, the originally silent water in the pool began to appear layer after layer of waves.
The blood filled Ruan Bai's side, she didn't dare to move, and she didn't dare to react, she could only grit her teeth, praying that the other party would not find her.
However, it didn't take long before she felt something touch her feet—
Cold, smooth, sticky like the surface of fish scales...
In the next second, a soft, cheerful voice came from behind Ruan Bai's ear.
"caught you."
She found herself!
At the same time, the system's notification tone also came over: [Drip! Please pay attention to the host, the random task is released - please use the fraternity and kindness of the white lotus to impress the enemy and get rid of the crisis of death!][In addition, due to the dangerous situation, the point reward is doubled, and you can get 1000 points for successfully completing the task!]Ruan Bai: "..."
Is the system crazy to ask her to impress this terrifying mermaid ghost
She can kill!
However, no matter how broken his heart was, Ruan Bai still took a deep breath and calmly analyzed the current situation.
First of all, this mermaid should be able to communicate.
Through her conversation with the female white-collar worker just now, and thinking about the fact that she was obviously irritated by Gu San last night, Ruan Bai discovered that not only can she understand people's words, but also her brain has the ability to think logically.
What she has to do is to stabilize the other party first.
She doesn't know the function of the mermaid bell, so it's not good to take it out rashly, or else, just mention someone related to the mermaid...
Thinking of this, she said without hesitation, "I'm a researcher, and I'm here to investigate in this village!"
The mermaid's movements suddenly stopped.
After feeling the slight change in the cold breath behind her, Ruan Bai's fingers trembled slightly.
She knew she was right.
It's just that although the mermaid didn't move for the time being, the killing intent towards Ruan Bai still didn't dissipate.
She has to say something that makes the mermaid interested, and she can completely give up the thing that kills her, and the premise of all this is that she must make the mermaid believe her origin.
Without a moment's hesitation, Ruan Bai continued his efforts and continued quickly: "...our subject is human genetic diseases. Human genes will bring different traits to the human body, and many genetic diseases are related to inbreeding... "
The village is so small, she didn't believe there was no intermarriage.
Regardless, she took a blind sniper first, betting that the appearance of mermaids was due to inbreeding.
This village looks very remote and closed. Some people may not even know the words, let alone nouns such as genetic traits. When the researchers came, they must have concealed their identities.
Those who do research usually have some occupational diseases. If the mermaid has a good relationship with him, he should have heard similar words from the researchers.
"...Du Wenshu did tell me this before, are you his colleague?"
After a long time, the mermaid's voice came faintly.
Plan a success!
Ruan Bai secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but still had a flustered look on his face: "I do have a brother who came here, and he sent a message to our research institute five years ago, telling us that there is a village here, but then he Something went wrong and never messaged us again…”
Du Wenshu should be the name of the researcher.
However, Ruan Bai didn't know anything about this person, and he was afraid that he would reveal his secrets when the mermaid asked about it, so he simply pretended not to know him well.
However, what Ruan Bai didn't expect was that after hearing her words, the mermaid's voice suddenly opened and interrupted her.
"Is he dead?" she asked.
Perhaps out of shock, the mermaid's voice raised three notes: "Why did he die... how did he die?"
"He died five years ago," Ruan Bai sensed something from the mermaid's crazy reaction, and quickly said, "His grave is just outside the west side of the village."
"I can't leave the village." After a while, the mermaid said.
The mermaid's hand crawled to Ruan Bai's neck at some point, and in the silence, her voice was extremely cold: "I won't kill you tonight, but tomorrow, you must bring me his bones."
After saying that, Ruan Bai felt a sharp pain in his throat.
And the figure of the mermaid disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Ruan Bai collapsed on the ground collapsed, wiping the cold sweat off his head.
She knew that tonight, she was not in danger of dying.
Just having the same background doesn't stop the mermaid from killing herself, but fortunately, she still has a little use.
Just wait until tomorrow, her survival will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the villagers who sent her here.
And whether she can go out from here is another matter. If she can't bring Du Wenshu's body, she will still die in the hands of the mermaid.
The task released by the system has not been completed yet, she is not completely safe now.
