[The main text will be ready soon. I can wait … I'm too tired. I just stayed up for 30 hours. I heard that if I don't sleep for 24 hours, my brain will be in a state similar to 5% alcohol. In other words, I'm drunk driving …]
After the fire was gone, the deep trench returned to its usual silence. It was so dark that one couldn't even see their own fingers. It was as if it had been like this since the beginning of time. The faint sound of the waves made the deathly stillness even more apparent — until a soft voice broke it.
"What took you so long? I almost fell asleep waiting for you. "
Just as the woman's calm and steady voice faded away, a ball of silver light lit up and illuminated the figure of the person who spoke. Beneath her messy short hair was a pair of amber, emotionless eyes. Lin Sanjiu wasn't sure if it was because of the expression on her face or the white bandage around her neck, but she was exuding a murderous aura.
The footsteps on the other side stopped. They seemed a little surprised.
Lin Sanjiu stood up and looked at the figure in front of her. A smile appeared on her lips, "Isn't it strange? How would I know that you guys are going to make a move tonight, right? "
Under the illumination of the silver light, the three swollen and pale faces were devoid of any expression.
After some time, Henna spoke in a low voice. "Miss Lin, you don't trust us?"
"... It's because of this." Lin Sanjiu laughed and shook the mineral water bottle in her hand.
[Alone Way's Mermaid Cultivation Fluid]
Don't you feel tired when you have to squeeze into the bus like a sardine? Don't you feel tired when you get off work at 7 pm?
Don't you feel lost when you sit in the middle of the ruins, munching on moldy biscuits and thinking about how your family is dead and you are the only one struggling for some unknown reason?
Living as a human is really painful. It's very difficult.
If someone can provide you with a different path, a more relaxing, happy, and simple path, will you accept it?
That was the slogan that Mad Scientist A came up with for his latest lab product. Just as the slogan implied, this bottle of mermaid cultivation fluid could gradually replace human cells with mermaid cells at the cellular level. If one drank this cultivation fluid for a long period of time or in large quantities, one could eventually become a complete mermaid.
Description: Mermaids are a race that is more advanced and superior than humans. (Said Mad Scientist A in 6958.) The mermaids almost completely abandoned the negative thoughts and emotions in the human mind. Therefore, the mermaids were always peaceful and happy creatures. They did not know what jealousy, suspicion, or desire were. After becoming a mermaid, you will be able to live freely in the deep sea without a trace of worry.
History: The mermaid cultivation fluid was banned in the second year after it was successfully developed. Since then, it could only be seen occasionally in remote places.
PS: After eating the entire body of a mermaid, you can obtain a stronger and more sensitive body, an additional 100 years of lifespan, and a more flexible mind. These effects happen randomly. If you want all three, you can just eat three different mermaids.
"This thing is obviously a special item produced in the new world, and not the stored water on this liner. As passengers on this ship, you should already know that. Aren't you good friends? Why didn't you tell him the truth? Why did you try so hard to lure him to drink water? "Lin Sanjiu sneered. "Is it because you can't wait to turn him into a mermaid and eat his flesh?"
The three duoluozhongs were silent for a few seconds.
After some time, Hank opened his mouth. He sounded very puzzled, "How did you know? I have already soaked the labels in the water and tore them off … "
"So, these mermaid cultivation fluids have labels?" That explains why the duoluozhongs knew about their characteristics. Lin Sanjiu did not answer him. Instead, she snorted softly.
"Really, if I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have taken it so slowly. If we just stepped on our necks and gulped down the whole box, we would've eaten the mermaid meat long ago, "Hank complained.
Hank's gentle voice rang out. If Lin Sanjiu did not look at her face, her voice would be as soothing as a gentle breeze, "Miss Lin, it's a pity that your body is poisoned. Otherwise, we could let you live a little longer in your mermaid form … Please don't blame us when you go to the other world."
"Clang!" Just as she finished speaking, there was a crash in the darkness in the distance, as if someone had bumped into something.
Henna quickly turned her head around. At the same time, a piece of tissue fell from her neck, Shen Lianqi's pale face also emerged from the darkness.
The duoluozhongs did not expect him to be eavesdropping on them. When they saw him, they could not react for a moment. Lin Sanjiu laughed. She raised her voice and shouted, "Did you hear what we said just now?"
In the dim light, Shen Lianqi nodded. Lin Sanjiu couldn't see his expression clearly.
"Ahem, haha."
A low chuckle came from the other side. To Lin Sanjiu's surprise, Hank's eyes curved into crescents as he laughed.
Since Shen Lianqi was not in his complete form, their plan had been exposed. What was there to laugh about?
Just as her doubts surfaced in her mind, she understood what was going on.
Shen Lianqi hurried toward them as he explained to her, "Miss Lin, I believe there must be some misunderstanding. Please don't blame Brother Hank and the others …"
His tone was firm and gentle.
"You didn't hear what we said just now?" Lin Sanjiu widened her eyes.
"I heard it," Shen Lianqi nodded. He then looked at Hank tenderly. "First of all, I believe that Brother Hank and the others are not that kind of people. Do you think I don't know how they think? Secondly, even if they really want my flesh, I can just give it to them. I won't die … "
Hank laughed again. There was a hateful tone in his voice, "Miss Lin, what you are doing is useless. Just give up. He is already 70% a mermaid. At this level, his way of thinking is no different from a mermaid's complete form. "
Lin Sanjiu had to admit that there was a high possibility that what he said was true. After he said that to Shen Lianqi, not only did the latter not show any reaction, he even nodded his head in agreement. He smiled and said, "I like my current state very much."
"This is called the mermaid cultivation fluid?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help cursing in her heart. "How could it brainwash someone to this extent!"
Suddenly, Hank reached out and held Shen Lianqi's hand. She said softly and gently, "Xiaoqi, Miss Lin said that she wants to go out. We will send her there. Go to sleep in the house and wait for us to come back, okay? "
Shen Lianqi nodded as if his brain had been sucked out. "Okay," he replied affectionately. He then turned to Lin Sanjiu and said, "Miss Lin, if you want to go out, I wish you good luck and a safe journey. Look at how well Brother Hank and the others treat you — "
Before he could finish his sentence, a black figure suddenly leaped up. Shen Lianqi was caught off guard and a heavy boot landed on the back of his head. With a heavy force, he fell to the ground.
When his body fell on the deck, Lin Sanjiu scolded angrily, "Just listening to you makes me angry!"
The force of this kick was too great. Under the intense pain, Shen Lianqi quickly fainted.
Hank glanced at him and smiled gently, "That's a lot easier."
Her words were like a signal. Hank immediately swung his mouthpart at Lin Sanjiu's waist. Just when Lin Sanjiu was about to retreat, she heard a splashing sound behind her. Then, she smelled a foul odor. It turned out that the Da De had taken the opportunity to sneak behind her.
Since that was the case, Lin Sanjiu decided not to dodge. The mouthpart was also a part of a duoluozhong's body. Once it came into contact with her skin, Hank would die.
However, when the mouthpart was right in front of her eyes, she suddenly realized something was wrong. She pushed off the ground and brushed past the Da De. The Da De's mouthpart followed closely behind her. Lin Sanjiu quickly rolled to the ground and narrowly avoided the attack.
When Lin Sanjiu stopped and took a closer look, she realized that their mouthparts were different from before. From the end of their mouthparts, they were wrapped by something black. It looked like a shell, and there was a sharp glint on the edge of the shell.
When the three duoluozhong saw that their attack had missed, Hank kicked Shen Lianqi into the water. Then, they lined up and surrounded Lin Sanjiu. Being surrounded by such a formation, it was almost impossible for Lin Sanjiu to avoid their mouthparts from touching their bodies.
"Seriously, you're tired of struggling like this," Hank said softly.
Lin Sanjiu said something in a low voice.
"What?" Hank didn't hear her clearly. Together with the Da De, they attacked Lin Sanjiu from both sides with their mouthparts. "You don't have to beg for mercy. We are useless to you!"
Lin Sanjiu dodged the attack and smiled, "I'm not begging for mercy. I just want to say one thing — "
As she spoke, she lowered her head and dodged Hank's sneak attack from behind.
"You guys are so old-fashioned." Lin Sanjiu couldn't help laughing, "But I can't blame you guys. After all, when I opened my eyes, I was in the dark and gloomy sea."
Under the strange gazes of the duoluozhong, Lin Sanjiu waved her hand and a large tape recorder from the 1980s appeared in her hand.
This was one of the eight prizes she won in the Red and White Tournament. It was called [Tape Recorder].
Description: Tape Recorder. There was a cassette tape that could be used to record. Other than the fact that it could be used without a battery, there was no other special function.
If this thing fell into the hands of anyone in this world, it would be a piece of trash. However, in Lin Sanjiu's eyes, its value couldn't even be described with words.
"Ahem, alright, I'll be the first to say it. Don't fight over it." After pressing the PLAY button, B.Rabbit's serious voice came from the tape recorder. The duoluozhong were stunned.
With a rustling sound, B.Rabbit clapped his claws and said, "Freeze ability! He can shoot out freezing rays from his eyes. Anyone that Xiao Jiu sees will be turned into an ice sculpture! Hahaha, what do you think? My imagination is pretty good, right? "
Lin Sanjiu's lips curled into a smile. The Pygmalion Choker under her bandage began to heat up.
