The scarlet eyes of the mermaid lighted up slightly, and the expression looked like anticipation.
"Soon," he said to Kou Dong, "soon..."
"I'll take you back."
Back to that seabed.
That was what he yearned for the first time he saw this person. From the very first sight, the mermaid had already chosen a partner.
His powerful fish tail flapped on the ground, revealing a kind of panic-stricken eagerness. Kou Dong was stumbling in his heart, and his rummaging became even slower. According to this posture, if the egg is not found, the mermaid will obviously drag him back on the spot...
He asked his cub desperately, "What to do?"
Your father is about to find out that you are not his real son!
Kou Dong was worried like all cheating men in the world who were worried about things being revealed, and he didn't dare to look at his cuckolded ex-wife.
Ye Yanzhi tightened his clothes, his expression was a little nervous, and he said after a long time, "Wait a little longer."
"What are you waiting for?" Kou Dong whispered, "The door should have been opened, why don't we find a time to run?"
"Can you outrun him?"
"..."
It's impossible to run away.
The villain is indifferent.
“He gets angrier when he gets caught after running away,” he said. “Want to run — but not now.”
when was that
Kou Dong was a little uncertain. But he was so convincing that he asked him to stabilize the experimental subject first.
Kou Dong: "..."
Alas, well, life is hard.
He couldn't hide it anymore, so he had no choice but to hold the broken eggshell in front of the experimental subject.
The mermaid glanced at the eggshell and then at him, her expression gradually cooling down.
"what is this?"
Kou Dong bit the bullet and said, "Your cub."
The mermaid's thin hands flipped over the largest piece of eggshell.
There is nothing underneath.
His thin lips were tightened, and his expression was a little scary, "Where is he?"
The corner of Kou Dong's mouth twitched twice, he lowered his head, and a kind of sadness from the inside out slowly appeared on his face.
With a slap, two big tears fell down, staining his clothes with two dark dots.
"It's gone," Kou Dong opened his mouth and wailed in despair like an old father whose child has been lost, "What should I do, my child's father, my child has disappeared..."
Mermaid: "..."
Ye Yanzhi: "..."
Ye Yanzhi didn't even know why he should be angry.
Why on earth was he forced to recognize so many fathers
Kou Dong choked up, and leaned his face on the mermaid's chest, actually he didn't have a clue in his heart.
He was not sure whether such nonsense could fool a mermaid with a fairly high IQ.
But no matter what, he couldn't sit still—at least he had to find a reason to explain why his child was missing.
The mermaid didn't answer, and kept silent with a tense face. After a while, he suddenly smiled slightly, with a gentle expression on his face.
"Gone?"
he asked softly.
Kou Dong nodded with great difficulty.
"It's okay," the mermaid said slowly, "There will be other children."
"..."
Even though Kou Dong leaned against him, he couldn't help shivering. Hearing the mermaid's voice, he felt chills creeping into his bones.
"There's going to be a lot... a lot."
He opened his mouth and laughed, the fangs inside were shining brightly. He showed no mercy, and grabbed Kou Dong straight away with his strong and powerful arms—Kou Dong is an adult after all, although he is slender, he still has height and weight here, but the one he lifts looks like a bird. A chicken cub without the slightest resistance.
The mermaid carried him and slid back upstairs step by step.
He put the person back into the petri dish, soaked in the light blue nutrient solution.
A string of gold necklaces collected from unknown sources was placed next to Kou Dong. It looked like it was ripped off from some poor researcher.
The mermaid put it together with those creamy milky white beads, and the blood-red pupils turned around in the eye sockets, as if dissatisfied.
not enough.
He raised his tail suddenly, and his eyes searched around in it.
-not enough.
He'll need many, many more of these to decorate his den.
On the other side, Song Hong couldn't help but feel despair welling up in his heart.
"According to what you said, isn't there nothing we can do?"
They found the research data of Experiment S in the research institute. The fighting power of this mermaid is equivalent to that of fifteen adult men.
And these few of them are at most two and a half.
Not enough to stuff a mermaid's teeth.
A Xue said, "No, there is another way to try."
She licked her lips and continued: "According to Norse legends, if a mermaid chooses a human as his nest, in order to appease his partner, he will bring a lot of gold, silver and jewels to decorate the nest where he lays eggs—"
"They often bring up gold coins from the deep sea, and the selected nests are all in the gold coin pile."
In the dark, lightless deep sea, amidst the golden light, the mermaid will arch its back and mercilessly inject eggs into the nest one after another. These eggs can make the belly of the human nest very large. After staying in it for two or three months, they will be released one by one, and they will also roll down into the golden nest.
There are thousands of eggs, but usually only two or three can actually grow into little mermaids. They also fight with each other, squeezing other siblings to stay alive, sending them into the mouth of a shark or something else.
The jungle preys on the jungle, even young ones.
Song Hong frowned, and finally understood what she meant.
"You mean—"
Ah Xue pulled out a dazzling gold chain from her luggage rack. The chain was a prop she obtained when she completed the last ghost dungeon, and it also had a function, which could turn a fixed place into a locked space, which was equivalent to adding an invisible lock to this place. People who step in cannot get out, and people outside cannot get in.
It's just that the props can be used for a limited number of times, and she only has the last one left. They are used to save her life, and she doesn't dare to use them lightly.
Now, she plans to try it with this gold chain.
She placed the gold chain in a corner of a laboratory, hidden behind a box.
Song Hong said, "Why not just put it in the middle?"
The little girl smiled instead.
"What are you a mermaid?" she said. "They're never credulous animals."
"—they're beasts."
Beasts often only believe in what they get by themselves.
She put the gold chain in the depths, and hid together with Song Hong, silently waiting for the arrival of the experimental subject. Finally, they heard a slight rubbing sound, as if a snake was slithering towards here quickly—when they quietly looked up from behind the test bench that was used as a cover, both of them saw the mermaid.
This glance is clearer than before. The mermaid's nose moved slightly, as if sniffing something. Immediately, he speeded up, and without thinking about sliding towards the direction where the two of them hid their things, he suddenly raised his head and looked around vigilantly.
Ashe had no other choice but prayed in her heart that the mermaid would not notice anything strange. Fortunately, after searching, the experimental subject found nothing, and slid towards the hidden chain again. His slender hand suddenly opened the box in the corner, and immediately found the envelope next to the box.
What is contained inside is a chain made of gold.
The test subject took the chain out of the box and held it tightly in his hand. It is instinct for mermaids to make nests convenient for their mates, and both birds and fish also love beauty. The mermaid held it well and stuffed it into her pocket.
He turned to leave.
It's now!
A Xue seized all the time to recite Xin Jing, but suddenly heard a soft sound of locking in the air. It seemed that there was a door locked somewhere out of sight.
"Did you make it?"
she said anxiously.
Song Hong didn't answer, but just stared at the mermaid in the room. The mermaid pushed in the air, but failed to push the invisible door open. She opened her mouth and let out a heart-shattering roar.
The prop worked, and both were relieved. Song Hong said: "Let's go!" He couldn't wait to run up.
The little girl looked back while running up, and heard the strong mermaid banging the invisible wall, and then there was a frightening cracking sound.
Song Hong turned his head and saw that his scalp was numb, "Oh no, that's a low-level prop, it can't trap him, he's coming out soon!"
"—Quick, find someone!"
A Xue gritted her teeth and said, "It should be upstairs—"
However, as soon as they ran upstairs, they heard the sharp cry of the mermaid below. This sound was like a trumpet, and countless experimental subjects stepped out of the petri dish following the sound, tall, short, big, small, with handsome faces, strange shapes... densely packed in front of them, and even disappeared. where to step. They changed their attitude of turning a blind eye to the players just now, and all exposed their fangs to them.
"Go this way!"
The two of them were familiar with the structure of the research institute, so they immediately changed directions and ran wildly. Countless monsters followed behind them, and the tentacles were crowded and spread, and the scene was almost like a zombie siege.
Kou Dong naturally also heard the voice.
His hands and feet were still a little weak, and he tried hard to climb out of the huge petri dish. Before leaving, the experimental subject exercised mind control on him, asking him not to leave the tank for half a step.
What Ye Yanzhi was talking about was at this time, he was naturally prepared for this trick of bewitching the mermaid, and took the lead in covering the people's ears with his own hands. Seeing that the young man was still in the dao, his eyes were straight as if he had stepped into the kingdom of heaven, he hit Kou Dong twice again, and finally woke him up from this mental bewitchment.
Absolute domestic violence.
It's just that Kou Dong's face is still not good-looking, and the movement of turning over is quite difficult.
At this moment, he actually saw the faces of Song Hong and the others through the glass.
Kou Dong was taken aback.
"you-"
Why didn't you leave
The key in the petri dish was gone, and he thought that the remaining three people had already left through the opened passage.
Song Hong didn't have time to elaborate, so he stretched out his hand to him first, "Come down quickly! He'll come out soon—"
He gave Kou Dong some strength, and helped the young man get out of the petri dish dripping wet. Even Kou Dong's hair was soaked, his whole body was trembling slightly, but he didn't have time to wipe it off.
"Where do you go?" the little girl shouted, "The door is blocked by the experimental subjects outside!"
The army crushed the city.
The only way out was blocked, and the roar of the mermaids on the lower floor became clearer, hitting hard. You don't need to listen to know that the invisible door can't stop him for long.
Kou Dong's scalp was also a little numb, he suddenly gritted his teeth, pulled out something from the luggage, and threw it towards the group of experimental subjects—
That was the white coat that the character was wearing when he first entered the game.
After taking it off, Kou Dong kept it in the luggage compartment for fear of needing it somewhere.
The clothes unfolded in the air with a whoosh, and were thrown far away. The monsters suddenly raised their heads, and their hatred instantly overwhelmed the mermaid's control over them.
The unintelligent experimental subjects rushed in that direction eagerly, struggling to tear the piece of clothing to shreds. Even if a few intelligent people wanted to rush up to stop them, they were blocked by a large number of monsters, and a traffic jam occurred for a while.
Chance!
No need for Kou Dong to say much, everyone understood in their hearts, and immediately started to run wildly!
At this time, Kou Dong really thanked these NPCs for their full favorability points—if he made up his mind to kill him, even if he had nine lives, he would be buried here.
Fortunately, even though they were awake, they just howled and growled, trying to catch him back again.
They finally ran to the door and saw the light behind the door representing customs clearance. Song Hong first pushed the little girl beside him hard to let her go first, and he followed closely behind. At the same time, Kou Dong also heard the voice of the mermaid. The voice of the experimental subject S was far less gentle than before, and it was screaming angrily behind their heads, trying to control him again.
However, Kou Dong had already stepped into the door with one foot, and the villain sitting on his shoulder stood up, frowning, and covered his ears with his hands.
"Don't listen."
Ye Yanzhi said calmly, firmly plugging his ears, "Don't listen."
Kou Dong finally ran out desperately.
As he fell forward, he felt a sudden chill on his back—it was the sharp nails of the chasing mermaid that tore his clothes. He fell to the ground with the momentum, his elbows hitting the cold ground.
The moment he stepped out the door, the two people around him suddenly disappeared.
Kou Dong was the only one left on the ground.
The mermaid was at the other end of the door, standing tall, staring at him with scarlet eyes. With this door blocking him, he couldn't take another step forward.
He just looked at Kou Dong, and slowly let out a low growl from his throat, like a dragon that has been robbed of its treasure.
"Mine," he opened his mouth and murmured, "My..."
"-Do not."
The villain suddenly opened his mouth, frowned and retorted, "It's not yours."
The experimental subject slowly moved his gaze up, as if he finally saw Ye Yanzhi. In the dungeon, he was still unable to see it, but now through this narrow door, his pupils suddenly constricted, and he discovered something.
This discovery made him extremely furious, showing his killing intent like never before.
"It's you!" he growled, "—it's you!"
"Give him back to me—"
"Give him back to me!"
Kou Dong heard the voices of countless experimental subjects, like a symphony. They all poked their heads out from behind the thin door panels, roaring almost desperately, the sound made one's scalp tingle, and one couldn't bear to listen to it.
It's ridiculous to say, but from the sound, Kou Dong could hear the sadness of losing his loved one. Those sequin-like eyes were facing him, each of them was staring round, even covered with a hazy luster of water—they were always facing his direction, the colorful pupils shone like a star.
Kou Dong glanced at his cub.
Ye Yanzhi tugged at a strand of his hair, but his expression was calm.
"Don't worry about it." He said calmly, "Don't feel sorry for them."
"They just want to keep you."
Kou Dong didn't say anything, just turned his head and looked at them again. For some reason, such a scene made him feel a little familiar, and his heart was also sour.
It's as if something like this...has happened before.
But when? What reason
He tried to think and think, but couldn't remember anything.
Kou Dong walked away from the door. Two steps later, he heard a voice from the system.
[Congratulations to the remaining players,] the system said in a rigid voice, [You have completed this dungeon: it is difficult to fly without wings.]
Kou Dong didn't hear any hint of congratulations from its tone.
He even felt that the system was extremely regretful that he didn't stay inside.
[The task will be settled below.]
[The number of dungeon points for this time: 200. Number of participants in the team: 7 people.]
[Player 1 gets points: 21. Player two gets points: 7. Player three gets points...]
It reported one by one, and there was one with a zero point, which must be the unlucky guy whose body was taken over by an NPC just after entering the instance. The system finally said: [You are player seven, and you got 52 points.]
Kou Dongxin said that team missions are indeed more profitable than individual missions, and his points in the second dungeon more than doubled compared to the previous one.
[Because you are the player with the most points in this dungeon, and you have opened the hidden plot, you will get the item: Siren's Tears.]
Kou Dong's trousers pocket suddenly dropped, and when he took it out, it was a smooth and round pearl, which was quite different from those creamy, translucent milky white pearls accumulated at the bottom of the petri dish.
It was rumored that the mermaid's tears fell to the ground and turned into beads, which turned out to be true.
He held the pearl with his hand, and immediately saw the prompt box.
[Prop name: Siren's Tears.
Function: Siren is good at using singing to seduce people's souls, and wearing tears on your body, you will also have the ability of mermaids to confuse people's hearts.
Number of uses: once.
Range of use: limited to one creature, cannot be used as a group weapon.]
It's like a simple version of hypnosis.
Kou Dong has personally experienced it, and understands the power of this hypnotism, if it is not forcibly intervened by external forces, it is basically difficult to break it.
It's ashamed to say it, but the few times he broke it, it was all because of his cubs who woke him up abruptly...
Just thinking about it makes my face hurt.
Ye Yanzhi seemed to have read his mind, and the young man pursed his lips in a mature manner, "No thanks."
Kou Dong: "..."
Alas, forget it, domestic violence is not good.
At the same time, he saw an envelope icon glowing in the upper right corner. Only after clicking on it did he realize that it was a message sent to him by Song Hong from the same team.
Of course, Song Hong is not his real name, but he has always been called this name in the game. He politely invited Kou Dong to form a team next time, and said: "Sometimes your whimsical ideas make me suddenly enlightened."
The words are polite, and the translation is probably, I have never seen such a coquettish operation like yours...
Kou Dong also had a good impression of him, not to mention the fact that these two people were willing to put aside the chance of escape and turn around to save him, which was enough to move him.
There is true love in the world, and there is true love in the world!
The camaraderie under socialism is really touching!
He replied decisively.
The little girl Axue also sent him a message, but the little girl was cool, and the number of words in the message was also small, just a single period.
Kou Dong also gave her a smile back.
After all this was done, the system popped up a new reminder, [About to enter the plot retracement.]
The birth of a siren comes at a price. Among the thousands of eggs, only two or three can survive, and the rest of the brothers are reduced to the rations of these two or three strong men.
They have to devour their companions to survive.
Therefore, the fishermen in the nearby waters call them: evil spirits from hell.
They are afraid to see the sharp and sharp teeth of the sirens, and they don't like their human-like faces.
Fortunately, sirens often grow in the deep sea and rarely rise to the surface. Gradually, few people remembered their stories. Only the religious prophecy books in those days still recorded the legends of these strange fishes.
According to legend, the Siren will only see one person in his life. After they fall in love with people, they will give birth to sex.
After that, even if that person is on the other side of the mountain jump, the siren will find him. It lures him closer to the surface with its deceptive voices, and then drags its loved one into the bottom of the sea, allowing him to grow gills, grow a reproductive cavity, and become a permanent, warm nest.
They have no weaknesses until they give birth to their sex. From top to bottom, they are as hard as a piece of iron.
Until you fall in love with someone.
until you fall in love with someone...
The siren watched for a long time on the water. It poked its head out of the water, its seaweed-like hair fluttering, and from a distance, it looked like an ordinary swimmer.
Although it is a shallow sea, there are not many people swimming in this area. Most of the nearby people are afraid of the unknown creatures in the water and dare not enter the water easily.
Only tourists from other places couldn't help taking off their shoes when they saw the clear sea.
"Be careful," his companion frowned, "this is the sea, it's no joke!"
"It's all right," the boy said, brushing his hair quickly. His skin is extremely fair, with black hair and black eyes. When he shines in the sun, all that is reflected is a lustrous light, "I am very good at water, maybe I can catch a starfish—"
He went into the sea.
The siren looked at him almost fascinated, and swam closer to him involuntarily. The boy's companion was still yelling something loudly on the shore, but the boy couldn't hear him at all. He plunged into the water, like a supple and nimble fish, and quickly swam towards the distance.
The siren followed him involuntarily, following his swimming path all the way forward.
It was a sunny summer day.
It sees sunlight.
It saw the sun, pouring down on the sea. He saw sparkling waves, rippling round after round.
It saw the slender arms, and when they paddled on the water, they stirred up a snow-white wave.
"..."
It slowly opened its scarlet eyes wide, revealing a ray of light unique to hunters.
The author has something to say:
Mermaid: Open the door, send love.
Kou Dong: ...
Sorry, declined.
