Wu Yujie: "The mermaid has come ashore."
Cen Jin squatted behind the windowsill, holding his breath to observe the black rocks below, the waves beat the cliffs one after another, the mermaid dived into the water, and climbed ashore after tens of seconds, moving slowly.
"The boat is 100 meters away from the cliff. It only takes 11 to 12 seconds for the mermaid to reach the reef. The speed is extremely fast, but the speed of crawling ashore is extremely slow."
Wu Yujie raised her eyebrows: "What do you think?"
Cen Jin: "Kill them."
As soon as the voice fell, the mermaid raised its head and opened its mouth to the moonlight. The mysterious siren chanted like water ripples and fluttered away. The naked eye could see that the reefs and waves were shattered, passing through the soundproof glass. The glass that covered it shattered with a crackling sound.
Even more frightening is the appearance of ice-like cracks on the soundproof glass.
Thomson was terrified: "No human being can resist the song of the siren invading the soul, even if you pierce the eardrum."
Wu Yujie: "So mysterious?"
Ding Baiqing: "It's not impossible. The mermaid's vocal range may be ultrasonic or infrasound, which directly resonates with the beating frequency of the heart, bones or brain."
Cen Jin: "It's just a sonic attack. Does the school have an extraordinary person with this extraordinary technique?"
Ding Yiqing: "I have brought this group of superhumans, and I can devour their abilities. I have also done some experiments to confirm that the attack is ineffective in a vacuum state."
Wu Yujie laughed: "Looking at how they look separated from Earth science, who knows that they still have to abide by the basic laws of physics."
Cen Jin asked Ding Baiqing, "Can you swallow so many mermaid sonic attacks by yourself?"
Ding Baiqing: "Yes."
"The flesh of this group of mermaids is also quite strong. They climbed over the reefs that were polished by the waves to be no less than the mountain of knives. They didn't leave a single scar on their bodies. , I'm afraid it won't kill mermaids so easily." Cen Jin said while thinking, "Your supernatural skills can be immune to temporary attacks, but not for a long time, you have to find a way to kill them."
Wu Yujie: "Their weakness is eyesight, but the force value is too strong, this weakness is not necessary for them."
Ding Baiqing pondered for a moment and said, "Extinguish the light of the lighthouse and let the fish hit the rocks."
Cen Jin slapped his palm and smiled at Ding Baiqing: "I just said you can understand me."
He just asked Thomson to help put out the lighthouse fire.
Ding Baiqing: "Mermaids only travel on stormy nights, and this is probably the only way and opportunity for them to get out of the thick fog, but storms can interfere with their hearing, thunder and lightning disrupt the rhythm of their singing, and the increase in the medium in the air will also reduce the sound waves. Aggressive, so they especially need the light from the beacon to help them orient themselves and prevent them from hitting the rocks.”
Although the mermaid's body is strong, it is not stronger than the huge collision force of the ship hitting the cliff at high speed.
Wu Yujie looked at the sky: "But the moonlight comes out, indicating that the storm has stopped."
Ding Baiqing: "Look at the weather forecast, there will be a huge storm tonight."
He changed his language and asked Thomson if there was still a storm tonight. Thomson nodded again and again: "The mermaid will only appear on the night of a huge storm."
While they were discussing, the mermaid had already climbed up the cliff and approached the lighthouse. Suddenly, a child's scream came from below. Thomson jumped up in shock, and hurried down with a pale face: "Freya!"
The child was quickly appeased by her father and stopped screaming. The mermaid stopped for a moment when passing by the lighthouse, stared at the lighthouse with cold eyes, and then rushed towards the dead and cold town.
About an hour later, dark clouds shrouded the night sky, the moonlight was covered, the wind blew, lightning flashed and thunder, and icy rain patted the holes, and the originally quiet town suddenly burst into flames, screaming again and again.
"The mermaid is eating." Ding Baiqing took the flashlight from the lighthouse and said to Thomson, "Three flashes and the lighthouse will be extinguished immediately."
Thomson: "Okay."
The three climbed onto the mermaid's boat in a small boat. The deck was slippery, and above the mast were octopus tentacles as thick as the mouth of a bowl hovering above the mast. .
The footsteps and breathing were controlled to the extent that the human ear could not hear them as much as possible. The merman on the mast still opened his eyes, and the pupils were covered by a layer of white membrane, like a cataract patient, which could explain their poor eyesight.
Rao couldn't see it, but the mermaid still accurately 'looked' at the position of Xiang Cen Jin and the three of them. At the same time, he opened his mouth slightly, and sound waves came from far and near.
Ding Baiqing reacted quickly, swallowed the sound wave and said, "Old Wu go to the helm and drive in the direction of the thick fog. Cen Jin, you and I work together to capture the merman."
"Yes." As soon as the voice fell, Cen Jin turned into a phantom, pulled out the handle of the knife and the body of the knife to merge into one, grabbed the rope hanging down from the mast, and bounced himself to the crossbar above the mast, without turning his head to the ground. A tentacle that slashed towards the rear.
With a chirp, the gravitational saber chopped off the tentacles, fell to the ground like a fresh stab, and bounced violently.
Cen Jin didn't have time to react to the human fish, and quickly ran towards a group of human bodies wrapped in thick tentacles. Ding Baiqing suddenly appeared on the huge canvas like a ghost, and the sharp Tang knife cut off the rope hanging the sail.
The hemp rope suddenly fell, and the sail was suddenly retracted, wrapping the mermaid whose tentacles had been cut off. At the same time, Cen Jin jumped out of the sail like a fishing net, and grabbed the hemp rope in the storm. Swinging back and forth, rolling down the deck three or two times, leaning back against the side of the ship to stabilize his body.
Seeing this, Wu Yujie, who was turning the rudder in the direction of the rudder with all her strength, looked forward and laughed: "Huang Xiaomao, the bones of the waist must be broken, or the old man will have to fast and recite Buddha for three months!"
Cen Jin rolled his eyes, what the hell is Huang Xiaomao nickname.
Wu Yujie laughed loudly: "Your focus is so fucking talented." He laughed so proudly that he didn't notice that when the first wave hit, he turned into a chicken, and spit out the salty seawater.
This time, it was Cen Jin's turn to laugh.
The trapped mermaid pursed its pupils, mouth and gills into a straight line out of anger, and a dull, inaudible sound penetrated the air, the sea breeze passing through here was smashed, and the waves that hit it were smashed. Water droplets, hemp ropes broke, and cracks appeared on the deck. Cen Jin raised his head as if he was aware of it.
Just at this moment, Ding Baiqing stood in front of Cen Jin, and the body of the hanging Tang Dao was covered with a cold light. The next moment, the Tang Dao disappeared in front of him, turned into a meteor, passed through the throat of the mermaid, and It's nailed to the mast.
The silent attack instantly turned to dust.
The merman fluttered with its docked tail and body, like a fish whose belly had been ripped open and the nerve reflexes flapping its tail.
Cen Jin grabbed Ding Yiqing's arm, looked at his left hand and said, "Bleeding."
Ding Baiqing drooped his eyes, there was blood falling from his left hand, and he wiped it off carelessly: "It's not in the way."
Cen Jin could see clearly that the mermaid attacked with a sound wave just now, and Ding Yiqing used his left hand to help him resist, and then swallowed the mermaid's voice.
Cen Jin took Ding Baiqing's fingers and kissed the back of his hand: "Thank you."
Ding Yiqing only smiled, holding Cen Jin's hand with his backhand and leaning against the side of the boat, side by side. At this time, the storm was more urgent and fierce, and the boat was tossed and tossed like a toy thrown by the turbulent waves.
Wu Yujie held on to the rudder tightly, stared straight at the waves ahead, and vaguely saw a white shadow: "The mermaid is here, be careful."
The three held their breaths, the dangerous atmosphere in the air was tense, as if a needle pierced the silent air, pierced the glass, and smashed the bottle of water. The war suddenly started, and countless tentacles burst out of the water, and the sound waves were woven into a large net. Wrapping the boat firmly, the mermaid jumped to the deck and mast of the boat, encircling the three of Cen Jin.
Wu Yujie slammed the rudder back to the original direction, then let go, and pulled out the sword to kill the mermaid.
Ding Yiqing let go of Cen Jin's hand, stepped on the mast and ran up, grabbed the arm of a mermaid who was trying to rescue his companion, and looked at the other's open mouth, his pupils split into two, and he devoured the mermaid in an instant. Ability.
The mermaid was exhausted and fell heavily on the deck.
Ding Baiqing grabbed the Tang knife and twisted it hard. The mermaid's neck, shoulders, and half of its head were all smashed into flesh. He grabbed the hemp rope and dragged it to the ground, and the rolled up sails flew up.
You can imagine how dangerous it is to set sail in a storm. The boat almost capsized, but the next moment was hit by the waves to the other side. The degree of turbulence was ten times more than the previous sailing. All the unfixed things on the boat rolled, and more direct Running into the sea, even mermaids are no exception.
Cen Jin was thrown out violently, he used gravity to push himself back, grabbed the hemp rope to tie his waist, and slashed at the merman with his backhand, scorching hot blood all over his face.
The rudder turned frantically, and the waves that fell were heavier than the other, the storm poured down, the thunder and lightning fell, and the mast was almost broken.
Cen Jin shouted loudly: "Ding Baiqing, hit the flashlight!"
Ding Baiqing stepped on the mast and flipped into the watch bucket. He flashed his flashlight three times at the vast sea, then jumped off and was thrown away. Fortunately, Cen Jin rushed over and grabbed Ding Baiqing. There are mermaids eyeing.
Before taking a breath, Wu Yujie said from above: "I saw the lighthouse - the fire is out!"
Cen Jin took a deep breath: "After I count 123, jump off the boat!"
After he finished speaking, he stared at the sea with piercing eyes, counted the time and distance to the rocks, and suddenly shouted, "Jump!"
The two jumped off the boat, Wu Yujie also jumped off, and fell into the cold and turbulent black sea water, Cen Jin opened a thin layer of gravity, evacuated a large amount of seawater and sinking gravity, and stabilized the three of them in the sea, Sweaty against the huge waves.
In the next second, a loud bang was heard. The sailing boat was smashed by the waves and wind on the cliffs. The hearing-impaired mermaid who could not tell the direction had no time to jump into the sea, and was then photographed to pieces.
Half an hour later, the three of Cen Jin climbed ashore soaking wet, Ding Baiqing carrying the cold and stiff Cen Jin on his back.
Cen Jin was weak in his hands and feet, and consumed too much mental energy. After all, he used extraordinary techniques to fight against the power of the entire sea, like a mayfly shaking a tree. .
Wu Yujie flicked off the water droplets on the sword, and kept it carefully so that she could free her wet hair. She looked at Cen Jin and said, "Huang Xiaomao, it seems that you also have the potential to become a sick beauty."
Cen Jin retorted slyly: "Don't call others casually, scumbag."
Wu Yujie finally felt relieved when he saw that he could refute, hehe smiled, and saw an injured but alive mermaid with his sharp eyes, and hurried down to catch the mermaid who was trapped in the shoal.
This mermaid, ignoring the somewhat flat facial features, is quite good-looking, with pale skin and a tail as beautiful as described in fairy tales.
As soon as the mermaid saw Wu Yujie, she wanted to attack. Wu Yujie quickly inserted a short sword into its mouth and cut off its vocal path.
Wu Yujie smiled and said mercilessly: "Don't move around, or you will cut off your fish tail to make chopped pepper fish tail."
The mermaid couldn't understand this dish, but could feel the real killing intent, especially when Ding Baiqing, who was even more murderous, curled up in fear.
After trapping the mermaid on the reef, Ding Baiqing and the three returned to the lighthouse. Thomson held a little girl and asked tremblingly: "I heard a very loud voice, did the mermaid and the ship hit the cliff? You solved this batch of problems. Mermaid?"
Ding Yiqing raised his eyes when he heard the words: "This batch?"
Thomson's cheeks twitched, avoiding his scrutiny eyes: "Of course it's impossible for mermaids to move their nests, but the mermaids who can come out to eat are generally the strongest and youngest."
Thomson has a lot of careful thoughts. He is afraid to say that there are more than one group of mermaids. The three people in front of him retreat and dare not solve the mermaid, but he must take advantage of the storm tonight and the town residents are immersed in anger and confusion, and take Frey with him. Ya far to fly high.
Ding Baiqing naturally saw through his careful thoughts, and he never thought of killing all the fish at one time.
If there were only a few mermaids, how could there be the term "mermaid country" in Thomson's mouth
Thomson: "Are you injured?" He took out the medicine box from the house: "The common wound medicines are complete, and the vitamins needed for sailing are all here."
Ding Baiqing dealt with the injury on his left hand, Wu Yujie took out their luggage from the trunk of the car outside, changed into dry clothes, and found a painting in his suitcase when helping Cen Jin to find dry clothes.
"Achilles' heel? You didn't hand in this magic painting? No... Why did you bring the magic painting during the mission process? Find a mermaid to help you appreciate the painting?"
Cen Jin was drinking hot tea, and said slowly: "There is a voice in the dark that persuades me to bring a magic painting, it may be useful... You see the mermaid has eaten the flesh and blood of Achilles, they have a grudge, maybe we can still help Ah Chilios avenged."
Ding Yiqing was also a little surprised. He didn't find that Cen Jin was carrying the magic painting with him: "Are you sure it is an indescribable premonition, not the bewitchment of the magic painting?"
Cen Jin: "…"
Needless to say, Cen Jin's silence is the best answer, and it is estimated that he also thought of this.
Ding Yiqing looked at the magic painting: "Not very obedient, be careful and think too much, it is better to destroy it as soon as possible."
The magic painting was quiet, but Cen Jin somehow felt that the magic painting was frightened.
Thomson looked out the window and the clock frequently, hesitating to say anything, when Cen Jin found him, Cen Jin stopped him, saying that if he wants to leave, he can take advantage of it now and be safe.
Thomson was grateful: "Thank you."
He hurried out with his daughter in his arms, and when he closed the door, he said with emotion: "The lighthouse has a basement, and there is a new ship inside. If you want to take advantage of the stormy night to venture into the merman's country, you can drive it away. If...if possible , I hope you can rescue the children in the town, the mermaid town is not saved, those people admire mermaids very much, their brains are broken, there is no need to save them, but the children are still young—"
Speaking of which, Thomson knew that he was embarrassing others, so he shut up and sent his blessings instead: "I hope you are all safe."
After saying that, he closed the door and drove out of the town.
The remaining three people found whiskey from the cellar with a dim yellow candle in the increasingly violent storm, and drank a cup of whisky to warm their bodies.
Wu Yujie: "Go?"
Cen Jin: "Go."
Ding Baiqing didn't lift his eyes: "The clue is right in front of you, it's a pity not to go."
Wu Yujie: "The signal is interrupted, and there is no way to notify others."
Ding Baiqing: "They will find out for themselves."
Wu Yujie: "That's a weird country..." She lowered her voice, looked at the orange whiskey and murmured, "It is by no means what ordinary weirdness can do to erase a person's existence. It may not be a mermaid, but a Mermaid higher god.
And that sea area is a restricted area, very close to the place where we met the ghost ship with the interlaced time and space last time. Perhaps the main reason for the interlaced time and space is not the ghost ship, but the sea area.
Furthermore, the 'land of death' you mentioned casually at that time may be the place where human beings are executed, and the kingdom of mermaids.
As soon as I heard the name, I knew that it was not a good place, especially the underworld in various countries and myths around the world. Longtan Tiger Cave is still alive and dead, and the kingdom of the undead is a dead end. "
Cen Jin drank the wine, wiped off the wine drops on his lips with his thumb, lay on the table, looked at Wu Yujie and said, "If you are afraid, wait for us at the lighthouse."
Wu Yujie snorted and swept over the fearless Erkong of the two of them: "I will tell you all the stakes, but you still insist on going, what else can I do other than accompany me?"
Cen Jin put his hands together: "Sister Wu, my beautiful and generous Sister Wu, thank you for your understanding and cooperation."
"Miss Wu and Miss Wu are only one word apart, and you have achieved the achievement of yin and yang." Wu Yujie gave him a thumbs up to affirm his eloquence, then finished drinking in one breath, took a deep breath, and there was a strong eagerness in his eyes. And Conquest: "Who'd love to miss out on earth-shattering adventures?"
Ding Yiqing and Cen Jin heard the words, looked at each other and smiled, and drank the wine glass, respecting this earth-shattering adventure and their crazy and free youth.
The yellow hairs who were on the sidelines came to the fore and sighed with emotion that they once had such a magnificent and wonderful life.
And the choice at this moment must be the turning point of fate.
Midnight came, the wind howled, the waves roared, the rain poured, and the lighthouse blazed brightly.
Wu Yujie grabbed the mermaid and locked it in the fish tank.
The mermaid refused to give directions at first, and tried no means to let it go, until Ding Baiqing came up with a whim and moved the magic painting, and the mermaid hit the fish tank impatiently and fearfully, unafraid of death.
After repeated several times, the mermaid finally compromised, just asking not to let it see the magic painting again.
Wu Yujie touched her chin: "The legend is indeed true!"
Cen Jin raised his arms and wrapped his arms around Ding Baiqing's shoulders, leaning against him at a thirty-degree angle to the ground and humming triumphantly: "On the night of the fantasy night, when the magic painting tricked the audience into eating raw merman, the legend must be true, Although I may be bewitched by carrying a magic painting with me, but the magic painting and the mermaid are inseparable, and it can be regarded as our helper."
Ding Baiqing embraced Cen Jin's waist and stared at the magic painting: "The mermaid who devoured Achilles' flesh and blood was hunted down, exiled to northern Europe, and entered the land of death in the world tree. Although he was blessed, he wandered in the land of death all day long. Can't come out."
Cen Jin narrowed his eyes: "Is the kingdom of mermaids really the rumored kingdom of death?"
Wu Yujie shuddered: "If I remember correctly, the country of death in Norse mythology is the bottom layer of the world tree, which can lead to the atrium, the kingdom of God and the kingdoms of other races. There really isn't such a world tree, right?"
Compared with Wu Yujie's worries, Cen Jin and Ding Yiqing were more worried about whether their journey to the Land of Death was calculated.
The result of the ghost ship trip told them that there was clearly a behind-the-scenes messenger who designed the two of them to experience the interlacing of time and space, and lured them to the land of death. The two knew the truth but had doubts.
Even if they knew the existence of the kingdom of death, they could refuse.
Since the end of the ghost ship tour, they have been paying attention to the information on this side, trying their best to avoid falling into the trap.
"As soon as it comes, it's safe." Ding Yiqing comforted: "The other party is in the dark, we are in the light, there is a mental calculation, it is inevitable, it is better to confront him as soon as possible to see what his purpose is."
"Yeah." Cen Jin responded, his frown gradually loosening.
The mermaid cooperated very well. After being guided, the ship entered a thick black fog. Cen Jin in 2022 was very familiar with this fog. He once passed through this fog and entered the World Tree, where he saw fragments of past time and Cen Jin. , the fetters and adventures of Ding Baiqing and others.
He still saw the same fog in the original Li's old building, the color was different, but it gave him the same sense of danger.
The fog was gathering around them, the storm had receded, and every now and then a reef jutting out from the sea, even a black reef soaring into the sky, stood out to sea, and the ships were always close to the danger of hitting them.
Passing through a clump of rocks, hanging a large number of air-dried corpses, including mummified corpses in ancient clothes, and white bones in modern T-shirts, people in different eras have been hanged here, and their strong emotions of fear have become the food of the mermaid.
The ship drifted further and further away, leaving the terrifying execution ground sea area, passing through the cliff so high that the top could not be seen, a thin piece, like a blade stuck in the sea, cold light, murderous, terrifying and terrifying.
Passing through the terrifying sea area like a mountain of knives, you enter a sea that is as calm as a mirror. The sky is connected to the sea. In the distance, you can see a group of reefs that stretch without any edge. There is a reef arch in the middle, and there are two tall stone statues at the door. It is the giant snake of the universe, Yemengarde, and on the right is the giant wolf Fenrir.
When the ship sails closer, the hugeness of the stone statue is more intuitive and frightening.
If you get closer, you can see a huge western stone dragon crawling under the reef, making the action of gnawing the reef. It is the poisonous dragon Nidhogg who gnaws the roots of the world tree in Norse mythology.
The ship stopped slowly as it reached the arch, unable to go any further by any means.
The three of Cen Jin tried to jump into the sea and swim over, and they would return to the deck in a short while with their clothes as clean as ever.
As the sky darkened, dense merman emerged from the reef, staring at them eagerly, as if they could swarm up and eat them as long as it was dark, and the magic painting on the bow did not completely deter the merman's ferocity.
Wu Yujie: "Why don't you torture the mermaid in the cabin how to get in?"
Ding Yiqing vetoed the proposal: "The possibility of asking the answer is not high. That mermaid is not afraid of us, and he will not be afraid of the magic painting when he returns to its territory. Instead of wasting time, it is better to ask the magic painting."
The tip of the Tang knife was aimed at the magic painting, and Ding Baiqing made two knife marks without a word, which was cruel and unreasonable.
Cen Jin and Wu Yujie were in a trance for a moment, as if they heard the screams of the magic painting.
Ding Yiqing said indifferently: "You know our current situation, you can confuse us to do things for you, and naturally you have a way to tell us how to enter the country of death. You can also choose to pretend to be dead, anyway, if you hate mermaids, mermaids are not too much to give up. You can imagine if you are thrown into a shoal of mermaids, is the mermaid killed by you, or you first try the taste of flesh and blood being eaten again."
The magic painting is as quiet as a chicken.
The sea was calm, with no wind and no waves, and the mermaids watched them coldly like stone statues.
After a while, Ding Baiqing looked delicate and looked at Cen Jin: "The rune gold coins can be exchanged for a pass to the country of death."
