His Majesty Meow is currently in the intersection of extreme rationality and extreme nervousness, in short: being handsome will only last for a second.
It’s not scary if one person is a middle school student, what’s scary is if someone cooperates with him.
Jian Qingrong stuffed the blood-stained handkerchief back into his pocket. Like a cunning and treacherous minister, he began to speak evil words: "As you said, waking up the Mermaid King in advance is the key to breaking the situation."
Wen Shi blinked. Did he say this
Jian Qingrong spoke softly, as if he was worried about scaring off a sensitive and suspicious cat: "My king, in your conception, the Mermaid King only appears last, which is the so-called full health resurrection."
"... Conversely, if we speculate that the Mermaid King would be much weaker by this time."
Ji Yuanzhi captured two important points almost instantly.
Unlike other NPCs, Jian Qingrong seems to be able to hear part of what players are talking about in the game. This remains to be considered. Perhaps the game has done some mosaics and silencing in some way.
The other point is the key at the moment, the behavioral logic is inconsistent.
Since the beginning of the dungeon, Jian Qingrong has been assisting Pei Wenwei as a collaborator, but now he has begun to participate in the direction of the helmsman. When a person's behavior logic is inconsistent with his daily life, it means that he has other intentions.
"It's quite troublesome to achieve this without knowing the whereabouts and weaknesses of the Mermaid King and other key factors." When Wen Shi calmed down, he regained his usual rationality, "and the investment is huge."
In this process, you will inevitably have to deal with the Mermaid King. If you want to escape unscathed, you will have to consume your skills and high-level items.
Jian Qingrong said slowly: "We can borrow someone else's knife. You suspect that there are a few people in the class who are not right..."
He looked at Ji Yuanzhi at this time: "There happens to be a good investigator here."
According to the Scarecrow's memory feedback, the other party successfully found the best man in Fengguan Village, which is enough to demonstrate his investigative ability.
"The person behind the scenes is bold and careful, and has been staying out of the situation. After investigating their identities, you can guide them a little bit, and you can just sit back and reap the benefits."
Wen Shi looked calm, his words were true, but if a third party was involved, the third party would inevitably make a fuss about it. No one was a fool, if Wen Shi was dragged into the game, he would definitely try his best to transfer the danger to the target of the previous failed assassination during the waking process of the Mermaid King.
There is something wrong with the behavior logic.
Wen Shi discovered the evil intentions of the treacherous ministers. Under normal circumstances, Jian Qingrong would not allow them to become bait.
"My king..." Jian Qingrong moved closer, "Do you think this plan is feasible?"
His humility was fake, his pity was also fake, and this cautious tone was all to curry favor with his superiors. Wen Shi sneered and nodded dignifiedly: "It's feasible."
Although my close minister has some small thoughts, one thing is certain: his loyalty is irreplaceable.
No matter what Jian Qingrong's purpose was, it was to better perform his loyalty.
Cats love this.
The fox fairy over there had already completed what Wen Shi had instructed him to do, and Wen Shi used his points to purchase the [antidote].
[Bacteria] itself is not a deadly virus, and most of the medicines in the game store can alleviate it. However, each person has an antidote worth ten points, and ten people have lost a hundred points. Wen Shi still feels a little heartbroken.
He placed the antidote next to the mermaid's body, doing enough foreplay to create momentum.
Wen Shi was about to speak when he saw Ji Yuanzhi entering the elevator door. Predicting what he was going to ask, Ji Yuanzhi pressed the door-closing button and said expressionlessly, "The priest is going to delete the surveillance footage now."
Wen Shi nodded, satisfied with his thoughtfulness, then pulled Jian Qingrong to hide in a corner, watched the entire performance of the fox fairy, and then followed the fox's guidance to find the student with the antidote.
The moment they discovered the mermaid's corpse, the students took a step back in shock, but soon all they could see was the antidote. They didn't look at the quantity carefully, fearing that it was limited, and they almost got into a fight over it.
The students who have gone through a round of mental pollution are now almost in a state of confusion and loss.
Wen Shi watched quietly through the gap in the bookshelf. A minute later, the first student who recovered cheered, "Much better. My voice is much better."
"The mermaids are not as powerful as King Asa," said the senior student wearing the fox jade pendant, touching her throat, "This corpse is a warning to us to respect the mermaid king."
Talking on paper will never be as effective as real benefits. As their health improved, the object of their prayers changed fundamentally.
"My legs have strength again." A student said excitedly.
The student years are the most innocent. A group of crazy people who are striving for their dreams quickly throw aside their higher education for a little sweetness, with the only thing on their minds being how to better serve King Asa in order to get more benefits in return.
The system prompt tone began to sound continuously:
[Leng Hongyu's Faith in You 1]
[Longnai's Faith in You 1]
Wen Shi accepted these faith points with a smile, and secretly said that he should be more careful when entering large pollution dungeons in the future. Since there is no corresponding setting for ordinary dungeons, unless the identity of the NPC is too special, generally no faith will be generated even if you worship.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Jian Qingrong. It was also a contaminated copy, but this person contributed 100% goodwill and zero faith.
Jian Qingrong said something contradictory: "You are a believer, but I seem to be a person without faith."
The concept of faith did not seem to be in his nature.
Wen Shi did not continue to discuss this topic. He received a system prompt:
[Battle record has been updated.]
The status bar of the Clay Buddha has been newly added: [You are a little bit useful. In addition to a 70% chance of dodging mirror monsters, the words you say will automatically increase your credibility by 2%. ]
"A temporary panel will be added for you - the fake King Asa."
[The False King Asa:
Believers: 74 (click to view the list in detail)
Tip: You can issue commands through this panel, and the degree of compliance with the commands will change randomly according to the degree of personal belief.
Wen Shi opened the list and found that the believers included ten students, one Song Yan, and forty turtle people.
Compared to the Turtle Man's intrusion, Wen Shi thought calmly, where did the adjective "false" come from
The first order he gave was to give a unified statement. No matter who asked, the answer was the same: they didn't know what happened tonight, they just heard strange noises and the lights flickered, so they were scared and left the library early.
Ji Yuanzhi went to delete the surveillance, and he only had to be responsible for collecting the books and promotional materials that were not taken away. He would then make the dead mermaid look scary. People like the principal would definitely not believe the new version of the story of books hidden in the belly of a fish, but would subconsciously pay attention to everything related to the Usa Empire.
More and more people care that something can be created from nothing.
Wait, why does he feel like it came from nothing
Something seems to be wrong.
The moment Wen Shi began to waver, he did not forget to worry about one of his believers, Song Yan, who was going alone to do the side quest of burying something in the lake tonight, and he didn't know how it was going.
·
On the way back to the dormitory building from the lake behind the campus, a figure was walking with his arms folded and shivering.
He was soaked to the skin, and the wind made him feel even colder.
Song Yan had a natural strong learning ability. In order to save points, he struggled by the lake for a long time and managed to master both swimming and holding his breath.
What Teacher Ruan asked him to bury were water grass seeds. There were many similar water grasses growing in the lake. They looked very ordinary at first glance, but their surface exuded a faint smell of sea water, which was consistent with the scent in the air of Mingzhu College.
When you smell this scent, your body will feel much more relaxed, which is why your foot pain is relieved after entering the academy.
Perhaps as Wen Shi guessed, players have the potential to transform into mermaids more easily, but their transformation results are roughly the same as low-quality mermaids.
When he was almost at the bottom of the dormitory building, Song Yan saw a dark shadow suddenly appear and hid behind a tree in fright.
The tall and straight figure paused for a moment and discovered that there was someone hiding behind the tree.
Yaerlin's momentum was amplified by the darkness, and Song Yan, who spoke weakly, was like a cowering rabbit in front of him.
"I think... since we know that Mr. Ruan is a mermaid, can we take advantage of this?" Song Yan said in a panic, "He is very suitable to stab the Mermaid King."
Yaerlin stared at the weak young man in front of him, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Vicious, pure, bold... This man who claims to be a loyal servant is like a distorted product.
Teacher Ruan is a loyal servant of the Mermaid King. If you want to tame him, neither eloquence nor bribery will work.
Song Yan lowered his eyes: "Mermaids have a history of cannibalism. Genes, like dynasties, will be restored at some unexpected point."
Yaerlin had no habit of respecting the right to speak of weak creatures, and today he had the patience to listen to him finish his words.
"We need a guide to guide Mr. Ruan to betray the Mermaid King. Of course, he will refuse." Song Yan touched the leaves above his head. "Mr. Ruan's support for the Mermaid King is like this big tree. If you shake it, it will not fall down."
"… But if I can get the leaves to shake like this, I can find a way to rot the roots."
Song Yan spread out his palms, displaying his abilities without reservation.
"I can become a mirror. The more absolute something is, the more doubtful the person looking in the mirror will be."
[Philosophical Mirror] allows the user to question the rules. As a key NPC, Mr. Ruan's most prominent rule is [Loyalty].
Being loyal to the Mermaid King and helping him wake up is the innate mission of the higher mermaids.
"… The mission that was forcibly given to him is like a castle in the air. The Mermaid King hasn't appeared for a hundred years. What can he give to his subordinates is just a spiritual sustenance."
Unlike the person he worships, who taught him the secrets of survival step by step, this is a personal worship with a foundation.
"With my current ability, it may not be enough to completely shake it, but as long as the roots are rotten, you give it another push," Song Yan clenched his fist and trembled as he said, "then everything will fall into place."
Yaerlin habitually wanted to touch the cigarette, but he resisted the urge, and raised the corner of his mouth: "How do you want me to shake this tree?"
Song Yan drooped his eyelids and whispered, "To destroy a monster, it is nothing more than destroying it physically and mentally."
Although these remarks were extremely cruel, he spoke them as naturally as if he was drinking boiled water.
It is a consensus among players that true spirits whose original bodies are objects are easier to deal with than other true spirits, because in traditional concepts, they are inflexible, old-fashioned and boring.
But among all the true spirits, they are most reluctant to deal with the true spirits of objects.
[The brain is not normal.]
This is the unified evaluation given within the True Spirit.
The cold wind blew, and Song Yan's whisper was soon blown away by the wind. Yaerlin looked in the direction of another dormitory building: "Not a bad suggestion."
The concert is an extremely grand event, with the mentors taking turns to be in charge.
In the past, it has never been Mr. Ruan's turn to take charge, although he actively strives for it every year.
As fate would have it, this time he got it in this way. The principal thought he was attacked by a mermaid and was violated, so he relaxed his usual vigilance.
The only drawback was that the concert was organized by two people, and he couldn't kill the other mentor now, otherwise it would arouse suspicion.
While thinking about how to make good use of the good opportunity of the concert, Teacher Ruan walked to the table to pour water. Unless he was in class, he would not control his natural thirst for water when he returned to the dormitory.
He had only taken two steps when his footsteps suddenly stopped. The color of his hand skin changed. Unfortunately, before it transformed into webbed claws, his thin body was pushed forward by a strong impact force, and his abdomen hit the table heavily. Teacher Ruan groaned in pain, and the next second, the mental storm like a steel blade tore his shirt apart. This force was very precise, and his skin was intact, but the friction brought by the hot wind left a trail of blood.
"I tore your clothes to shreds, and it's useless even if you scream at the top of your lungs?"
The dull sound of the soles of his shoes hitting the floor was like the low pressure brought by the uninvited guest. Yarlin said calmly, "The latter one is not bad. Why don't you continue to call your king?"
Teacher Ruan's cold face was full of murderous intent. Unless it was absolutely necessary, disturbing the sleeping king would incur the king's displeasure.
"It's really frustrating, isn't it?" Yaerlin grabbed his neck, "In fact, you can barely fight me, but you can only endure it."
Once the firepower is fully opened, the entire dormitory building will discover the presence of a mermaid.
Being fierce does not mean having no intelligence. Yarlin first hinted that the Mermaid King could not bring enough protection to the believers, and then he only needed to guide them step by step.
The teacher's dormitory is very large. Teacher Ruan likes the retro style. Yaerlin sits on the scarlet sofa, leaning back against the cushions with his long legs elegantly crossed. "The Mermaid King has resurrected, and I have disappeared. I wonder if he will help you look for me all over the world in order to avenge you?"
"… Even if we find it, will the Mermaid King take action?"
the answer is negative.
As long as Yaerlin does not take the initiative to provoke and is willing to stay away from the Mermaid Coast, the Mermaid King will never do anything time-consuming and laborious.
"The ultimate form of worship is replacement," Yaerlin said with a smile, "If you eat the mermaid king, you may become the new king."
Mermaids are different from Song Yan. The former has a hierarchy of strength like animals. The operation of the inferior overthrowing the superior may sound absurd at first, but it is feasible if you think about it carefully. Although they are both personal worshippers, Song Yan and Wen Shi are in a safe zone because Song Yan wants to replace the true spirit.
"You're dreaming." Teacher Ruan controlled the moisture in the air, causing the cup to freeze and break. The fragments did not fly out as expected. Like him, they were pinned down by the powerful mental force.
An invisible force forced him to raise his chin. Teacher Ruan was facing the mirror, which could reflect part of the scene in the corner of the sofa. Unfortunately, he could only see part of the man's figure in it.
"I won't go too far, at least not to the extent that you call me king..." Yarlin's eyes were cold as he spoke obscene words, "Kill me, peel off my skin and pull out my tendons... To realize these fantasies, you need to possess the power of the Mermaid King."
The runaway mental power left Mr. Ruan with no place to vent. His white joints bent, and finally he took the risk to release some of the mermaid's power, but it was still useless.
Just as Yarlin said, unless you use all your strength.
However, this little bit of strength at least allowed Teacher Ruan to raise his arm. He smashed the mirror that reflected his humiliating face, and it seemed as if the reflection inside was shattered together with it, and he felt a sense of pleasure in his heart.
Every step was perfectly planned.
The curve of Yarlin's mouth widened, and the mirror was broken, and a new one would be needed soon.
Even though the other person may not want to look in the mirror for a long time, it is a necessity in life. The marks on the body, the characteristics of mermaids... whether these are well covered up or not, all need to be confirmed by the mirror.
Yaerlin suddenly stood up. Teacher Ruan's body was tense, and the approaching strong pressure made it difficult for him to breathe.
Buzz.
Just then, Yaerlin's cell phone rang. After seeing the caller ID, he pressed the answer button.
"Hello."
The call was from Wen Shi. After returning to the dormitory, he found that his elder brother was not there. Wen Shi’s first reaction was: No!
The second reaction is: Oh, no!
Teacher Ruan didn't know what the person on the other end of the phone said. He only heard the person behind him say in a slightly doting tone, "Busy."
He tried to seize this opportunity and struggled desperately to escape. The pieces of his shirt were at his feet and were constantly crumpled as his owner struggled. His stubborn resistance ended with him crawling on the table again.
In Yarlin's eyes, the brain is the most sensual and sensitive part of the human body. He used his mental power to mobilize all the senses of his prey to the extreme, and then he walked to the window and calmly reached out to catch the raindrops coming in from outside:
"It's cold tonight, remember to cover yourself with a thicker blanket."
