[Don't wait for the main story today. I'm going to watch a movie soon. Hehehe.]
Lin Sanjiu, who knew nothing about her companions, was at the bottom of the sea. She was at a loss.
Shen Lianqi and his friends were standing opposite her. Logically speaking, this was the time to greet them...
Shen Lianqi appeared to be in high spirits. Lin Sanjiu could tell that he was very happy to be able to introduce new friends to his old friends.
However, Lin Sanjiu couldn't bring herself to smile.
She had already raised the [Ability Polishing Agent] up high. Under the silvery light, the three dripping wet … people could be said to be every detail of their bodies could be said to be in full view. Even if he didn't notice anything wrong earlier, he should have noticed it by now. However, Shen Lianqi still acted as if nothing had happened.
After all, his so-called "friends" shouldn't be three swollen corpses, right?
To be more specific, they weren't just three floating corpses.
His original body had already turned into a swollen vesicle. Every time he moved, the sound of splashing water would be accompanied by an extremely pungent stench that was filled with water vapor. Obviously, these three people were once part of the passenger ship. They had perished along with the ship during the tsunami. From their "gigantic" faces, Lin Sanjiu could see that they had high noses and deep eyes. Obviously, they weren't Asians. The reason why the floating corpses could still move, laugh and talk was probably because of the long mouthparts on their faces.
Aquatic duoluozhongs.
These five words flashed across Lin Sanjiu's mind.
She moved her hand and called out a longer and sharper mouthpart with sharp teeth embedded at the front. Her expression became vigilant.
Shen Lianqi immediately frowned, "Miss Lin, what are you doing?"
Before Shen Lianqi could say anything, the middle-aged plump man standing in the middle patted Shen Lianqi's shoulder. He smiled and said, "Hey, this is very normal. It's inevitable that she will be frightened when she sees people like us … "
The woman on the right also spoke. Her sparse chestnut-colored hair stuck to her scalp, "Your surname is Lin, right? Don't worry, we don't mean any harm. Although we have become this unfortunate state, our hearts have not changed. We are still human hearts. "
Even though her voice was gentle, Lin Sanjiu almost vomited when she saw a piece of soaked flesh fall off her face when she touched it with her hand.
After soaking in the scalding seawater for so long, it was no wonder that he was like this.
The 'person', who was in the worst condition and couldn't even tell whether it was a man or a woman, didn't say anything. Instead, Shen Lianqi stepped forward with an earnest expression. "Miss Lin, listen to me. The duoluozhongs in this world look horrifying at first, but the more people they feed on, the more their bodies will recover. I've seen quite a few duoluozhongs that look no different from living humans when I was on land. "
At this point, he pointed at the three aquatic duoluozhong beside him and said in a sincere tone, "But look at them! No matter if it's Miss Hannah or Big Brother Hank, they haven't recovered at all. This means that they haven't consumed anyone! "
"That's because there's no one for them to feed on!" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help shouting.
"What about me?" Shen Lianqi patted his chest. "I've been here for more than a month, but they haven't done anything to me!"
Lin Sanjiu really couldn't answer that question.
Seeing that Lin Sanjiu was at a loss for words, the duoluozhong called Hannah sighed, "Miss Lin, I hope you won't judge a book by its cover. As time passes, you will realize that we are not what you think we are. "
"That's right, Miss Lin. Put away your weapon first." Shen Lianqi was having a headache as well. He turned to the duoluozhong whose body and face had already turned into a pile of jelly and ordered, "Da De, go and drag that prawn up here. Let's have dinner together and talk while we eat. Miss Lin, is that alright?"
It seemed that he hoped that Lin Sanjiu would give his friends a chance.
As Lin Sanjiu expected, Dade turned and left. Hannah and Hank also left. They didn't care about Lin Sanjiu's wariness. They acted as if they had just returned home. One of them went to the kitchen to get some pots and utensils while the other sat on the deck, trying to start a fire. It was obvious that they had done this countless times. Lin Sanjiu, who was holding her mouthpiece, felt a little awkward.
"Miss Lin, you don't have to worry." Shen Lianqi came to her side and comforted her softly, "If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been able to adapt to life at the bottom of the ocean so quickly … I trust them. Besides, Miss Hannah is the most gentle and kindest woman I've ever met … "
Lin Sanjiu glanced at him. At that moment, the fire on the other side lit up half of the deck. "Is it because of the fire?" Lin Sanjiu thought to herself, feeling a little uncertain.
After some thought, she decided to go with the flow and observe the situation. She nodded and followed Shen Lianqi's fishtail to the duoluozhong's side. Finally, she sat down beside the fire.
Hank immediately let out a happy whistle — a whistle that might have been louder if the skin around his mouthpiece wasn't full of bubbles.
After a while, Dade dragged a snow-white prawn that was as long as a human. With every step he took, he left a black mud-like mark on the ground. When he dragged the prawn, it was covered with soaked human tissues.
Shen Lianqi cheered as if he didn't see the prawn. He took out a knife and cut the prawn's shell. It was obvious that this wasn't his first time eating this kind of prawn. After a short while, the prawn's shell was peeled off and the dirt inside was removed. Then, he cut the prawn into strips and put them into the pot.
He also cut a few large pieces of raw prawn meat and placed them in front of the duoluozhong for them to suck.
The prawn was much tastier than the deep-sea arowana. However, Lin Sanjiu had no appetite when she looked at the three lifeless faces. She quickly put down the bowl in this strange atmosphere.
Hannah asked softly, "Is it boiled in seawater? You don't like it? Come and drink some water. "As he spoke, he took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Lin Sanjiu.
The water was the same as the one she drank before. She took it from the cockpit. The ruby red bottle had a smooth curve.
"Being treated so thoughtfully by a duoluozhong …" Lin Sanjiu felt very complicated. She suppressed the strong sense of distrust in her heart and tried to twist the cap. The cap immediately made a light click, indicating that no one had opened it before. Lin Sanjiu felt Shen Lianqi looking at her. She slowly took a sip of the water.
"By the way, wasn't there something wrong just now?"
Lin Sanjiu frowned as she drank the water.
At that moment, the person beside her and the three duoluozhong were already chatting enthusiastically. One after another, they talked about what was in the depths of the sea. This gave Lin Sanjiu some time to think. While Lin Sanjiu was thinking, she took out the card with the half-empty bottle of water and glanced at it casually.
When her gaze fell on the line of words [Mermaid Cultivation Fluid], a mouthful of cool water slid down her throat into her body.
"That's right!" When Lin Sanjiu glanced at the card, she felt that the name was too long for a bottle of water. Lin Sanjiu was shocked. She coughed so hard that her face turned red. She tried to cough the water out.
"This water … Does Shen Lianqi know about it?"
Hannah was shocked by Lin Sanjiu's reaction. She rushed forward to pat her back. However, before she could touch Lin Sanjiu, Shen Lianqi grabbed her arm, "Don't touch her!"
Hannah and the other two were a little puzzled.
Shen Lianqi's face turned red again as he held Miss Hannah's arm, which was swollen from the blisters. Shyly, he told them about the [Versu Poison] in Lin Sanjiu's body, "So, so, you will die if you touch it."
Lin Sanjiu coughed so hard that she couldn't speak. In her heart, she was cursing that blabbermouth Shen Lianqi.
Even though Hannah's face was covered by the wobbly flesh, she could still see the change in her expression. She covered her mouth and stood up. She was shocked and a little dazed. No one knew what she was thinking.
Looking at Hannah's expression, Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. She suppressed the itch in her throat and smiled at them, "That's right. You guys have to be careful. Don't touch me by accident. [Versu Poison] only needs a few seconds to kill a person. "
The duoluozhong called Hank responded and fell into silence. Perhaps it was because his face was too swollen that he couldn't speak. For a moment, there was a strange silence around the fire.
The only person who didn't notice anything was Shen Lianqi. He picked up his bowl and laughed, "Today's prawns are tastier than usual." Then, he gulped down another bowl of prawns.
Lin Sanjiu, who was sitting in the middle of the group, glanced at them. She didn't say anything and waited quietly for an opportunity to examine the card. She clutched the card in her hand and felt her palms were wet.
'Should I find an excuse to leave first? '
Just as she thought of this, Hank moved first. He stood up and took another bottle of water. He handed it to Shen Lianqi, "Here, drink some water."
Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. She instinctively stopped Shen Lianqi, who was reaching for the water. She turned to Hank and forced a smile, "Um … Don't you guys need to drink?"
Three ghastly pale faces turned to look at her at the same time. Just as Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat, Shen Lianqi gulped down a few mouthfuls of water. After he was done, he put the bottle down and wiped his mouth. He smiled and said, "Brother Hank and the others don't need it. Isn't it convenient? They are different from us. Haha, if Brother Hank didn't lead me to this water, I would have died of thirst … "
The plump middle-aged man turned to Lin Sanjiu.
