Chapter 118 Mermaid Coast

The moon disappeared, and the rain was so fierce that there was no light in the night sky.

It doesn't rain often on the Mermaid Coast, but the climate is humid, and the thick to black tide seems to send endless water vapor to the sky and the earth. In the eyes of old fishermen, rain on the coast is an unlucky thing.

Arlin didn't come back for a long time, and Song Yan coughed a little after he came back. In order to prevent the monsters in the dormitory building from being attracted, he planned to turn into a mirror in advance.

Song Yan explained the reason to Wen Shi, saying that Arlin was going to persuade Teacher Ruan to rebel.

"Persuasion?" In Wen Shi's eyes, the credibility of this word was as low as the suddenly cold temperature.

However, he was soon attracted by the lake that Song Yan mentioned. When Wen Shi went to the complex to pick up his books in the evening, Teacher Ruan was innocently angry because of the principal's decision to fill the lake, causing him to almost drown in the office.

"Is there anything else in the lake besides water plants?"

Song Yan shook his head: "That lake is very strange. It looks like an ordinary lake at first glance, but after entering the lake, the area is very wide, and there is an illusion of boundlessness."

He accurately described: "It's like entering another space."

Wen Shi raised his eyebrows, it sounds like a hidden mini-map.

Song Yan got back to the topic: "My lord, Yan Nu has started to transform."

Wen Shi, who was the least qualified to speak, educated him: "Don't talk like a second child."

Song Yan clicked on the attribute panel, he never doubted Wen Shi's ability, how to deliver the mirror to Mr. Ruan, he believed that Wang had his own way.

For the same transformation, the points he consumed were only one-hundred and sixtieth of Wen Shi's. The whole process didn't have any sense of magnificence, not even the special effect of white light flashing. In the blink of an eye, Song Yan was gone.There are many retro mirrors on the ground.

"It's so cheap."

After seeing Wen Shi's transformation process, Jian Qingrong expressed the real view of the audience.

The special effects are cheap and the goods are good.

The upgraded "Philosophical Mirror" has faded away from its dirty and dusty state. There is not a single adjective in the game that is superfluous. There is a description of "I can't put it down" in the introduction column.

Wen Shi bent down to pick it up, and really felt the uniqueness contained in it.

The mirror surface looks clear and comfortable. Under the small lantern, occasionally there will be an illusion of watery light on the surface.

It just so happened that Ji Yuanzhi came back after deleting the monitoring, and found that there were two people missing in the dormitory, so he immediately clarified the situation.

Although Wen Shi had introduced Song Yan's ability before forming a team to play the dungeon, in order to persuade him to bring an extra person, when Ji Yuanzhi saw the mirror with his own eyes, it was still somewhat visually shocking.

"Not bad." Ji Yuanzhi gave a brief evaluation.

The workmanship is simple and elegant, and the bronze frame wraps the edge of the mirror. There is no excessive embellishment as a whole, as if drifting out of an old castle, with a sense of history.

Wen Shi put the mirror on the table and nodded with satisfaction: "The tutor will like it."

He has already figured out what to do tomorrow.

It was late, and after everyone went to bed one after another, Wen Shi didn't fall asleep directly, so he went to check the rewards issued by the game first.

Every time there is a special side mission, the rewards in the game are quite generous. With some expectation, Wen Shi opened the backpack.

"Broken Tail: A broken tail of a fox fairy, after installation, it can boost teammates.

Instructions for use: When a fox fairy fulfills a human's wish, it will always take one thing away, and the same goes for the favored one.Five minutes they're the darling of the world, and five minutes later they're the world's orphan."

"..." Wen Shi was silent for a moment: "How long will this orphan buff last?"

The notification tone answered him: "Fifteen minutes."

Wen Shi closed his eyes, triple the price?

The game is definitely the top profiteer in the world. It was obvious that the tail was torn off by the teenager. The teenager tore off eight pieces in total. After the game was recycled, it was used as a reward, and only one was given to Wen Shi.

"Middlemen are the worst."

The most painful thing is that he has no way to join, he can only watch the game to earn blood.

Wen Shi was so pissed off by the special reward show operation that he didn't sleep well all night.

In the early morning, he saw Yarlin standing on the balcony, his tall body exuded a hint of gloom, and the place where he was seemed to have some light.

Yarlin used his mental power to control the rainwater, making them stand still in mid-air, as if time had stopped.

Wen Shi watched this scene silently, thinking that except for Ah Sang who made it clear that he had not encountered any difficulties, the rest of the family members seemed to have their own difficulties.

"It's so powerful, will there still be troubles?"

He changed into a flat lying position, staring at the ceiling quietly absent minded.

For a long time, listening to the sound of the rain, he remembered that True Spirit had the same troubles. True Spirit was trapped in the memory and could not get out. The strong Earl struggled with mental illness all his life, and the host was still determined to enter the Frank Hospital for his career... soIn comparison, his own great cause of restoring the country does not seem too difficult.

Unknowingly, Wen Shi fell asleep, in a daze, as if someone helped him cover the quilt.

It rained all night, and it still didn't stop the next morning.

As a class representative, Wen Shi didn't need to create special encounters. During the break, some senior students came to the classroom and said that Teacher Ruan asked him to take time to go to the office.

In the class again, Lily explained the dance moves with joy on the stage. She likes to demonstrate in person. Every movement is elegant and graceful, but Wen Shi always has a feeling of stretching too much. That kind of demonstration gave him the feeling of watchingAnatomy diagrams in biology books.

Ji Yuanzhi suddenly said, "One of her class representatives didn't come today."

Wen Shi nodded. Players will not miss classes at will. In this case, most of them are lost.

Ji Yuanzhi seemed to be very concerned about this matter: "I'll ask."

After finishing speaking, he went out for the excuse of going to the bathroom, and naturally sat in another seat when he came back. Ji Yuanzhi's memory is quite good, and he clearly remembered who the class representative's roommates were.

The roommate did not have the generosity to share information selflessly, and was about to say a few perfunctory words, Ji Yuanzhi took out the contract props: "I have the information that Mr. Ruan's class representatives have here, and we can exchange it."

The roommate rolled his eyes, and after the two parties promised not to lie, he said: "Last night, he went to help Lily tutor to deliver things to the principal, but he didn't come back. Before we went, we used props to keep in touch. I heard him say that the principal's residence isThere is some shocking secret hidden, and then there is the sound of the door being pushed open, and after a burst of noise, nothing can be heard."

When the player dies, the props that are still in use will automatically become invalid, and will be recycled by the game in the end, which is much safer than ordinary communication tools.

Ji Yuanzhi saw the other party's intentions and wanted to lure him to visit the principal's dormitory, but this news was useful, so he offered the same exchange: "Don't eat raw food, the effect of mental pollution is quite serious."

Then he said: "King Asa appeared in the library yesterday."

The roommate opened his mouth wide and let out an "ah".

What is King Asa?

"It is said that he is the deadly enemy of the Mermaid King."

The bell rang for the end of get out of class, and Ji Yuanzhi finished speaking seriously, reached out to his sleeve, and crushed a button.

The roommate's face changed, it was the bug he had just secretly installed.

The school uniforms of the boys of Pearl Academy are more formal, and most people will not notice the extra decorative buttons on the sleeves of the outer clothes.He made a good plan, tricking the other party to go to the principal's dormitory, and then obtain the information through the wiretapping device. Last night, his roommate did the same thing. Using props to keep in touch is a glorified statement.

Ji Yuanzhi didn't expose it when he was pretending to be wiretapped, but stayed until now just to wait for the request: "Do something extra, we will clear up the wiretapping."

"What's up?"

The player's eyes flickered, and he was also backed by the Grand Guild. It would be best if he could write it off. If the matter is too big, then forget it.

"Someone will definitely come to you to inquire about the same thing in a while, you just need to shift the focus to another clue..." Ji Yuanzhi's eyes flashed, "Tell the visitor that letting the fish king wake up early will break the gamekey."

The roommate hadn't had any information related to the Mermaid King yet, so at first glance, he actually felt that the clue he said was very reliable.

"This is an important piece of information." In order to make the chess pieces work harder, Ji Yuanzhi said lightly: "You can use this to kill the opponent."

The greater the cost, the more convinced the buyer will be of its correctness.

Ji Yuanzhi didn't even bother to waste his skills to decipher the identity of the people behind the scenes against Wen's current black hands. People who like to hide behind and make troubles have one common characteristic: be careful.

This caution needs enough information to support it, so they will definitely come to understand what happened to the disappearing class representative.Using these people to make the fish king wake up early saves time and effort. The only trouble is that those who have done something wrong once will definitely find ways to cause trouble again.

Ji Yuanzhi was not worried about this, he only hoped that Jian Qingrong, who knew what would happen and insisted on letting the Fish King wake up early, would not create too much trouble.

After two classes, the broadcast announced that students can go back to the dormitory. The tradition of Pearl Academy is that in case of heavy rain, all classes of the day will be ended before twelve o'clock in the morning.

Everyone was going out, when Wen Shi passed by Ji Yuanzhi, he said, "I'm going to deliver a mirror to Teacher Ruan, and Jian Qingrong wants to see my elder brother, please bring me a meal back."

Ji Yuanzhi took off the frame, pinched the space between his eyebrows: "Go."

At this moment, he had the same thought as Wen Shi before: no one can worry.

Seeing him rubbing between his brows, thinking he was worried about the mission, Wen Shi took two steps back: "Don't worry, although it's an S-level dungeon, but..."

"You will shoot, I know."

Wen Shi nodded and walked out of the classroom calmly.

The torrential rain hit the ground angrily, Wen Shi held up an umbrella and hurried towards the complex.

Walking halfway, he heard a player in front complaining to his companions: "Made, I finally understand the importance of following your mentor. Lily is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. I used the [King Box] to clear the mission until today."gone."

Npc can't hear the game content. If it's not particularly important, players won't avoid people when discussing on the road.

Wen Shi followed closely, and the other party didn't say anything important throughout the whole process, complaining repeatedly about the difficulty of the game.

When he was about to pass by a teaching building, he was stopped by a chubby player: "Loan points? Brother, the daily interest is 3%, and the maximum loan is 2,000 points. If you are willing to pay 5%, you can loan 3,000 points. Promise youout."

Wen Shi's expression was complicated: "Aren't you afraid that if the borrower dies, you won't be able to get back the money?"

The chubby player smiled and did not lie to him: "My skill is [Abacus], which can calculate the player's survival rate, but it is only 70% accurate."

The rest depends on observation. Since he started his business, he has made more money than he lost.

The chubby player has been observing for a few days and has already made a loan list.

He chose to appear at this time, of course there is also a reason: "Everyone is now frantically collecting points to buy [King Box], this opportunity must not be missed."

Wen Shi only knew that the "King's Card Box" would refresh side missions, but he didn't know that it had the opposite ability to the "Queen's Card Box". After a single refresh of the mission, the difficulty would decrease.

"Why do you have to buy this prop?"

The fat man saw that he had no intention of borrowing money, but his attitude was very good. First he smiled and took out a business card to Wen Shi, and then said: "There is news that tomorrow the college will start selecting programs and drawing up a part of the audience list. This is equivalent toAt the beginning of a main mission, npcs will find various excuses to issue missions at this time..."

The fat man smiled mischievously: "This kind of initial task is often very difficult."

Wen Shi lowered his eyes: "I see."

Increased knowledge.

"See you later, please feel free to contact me if you need a loan." The fat man went to look for another business.

Wen Shi looked at his business card: "[Wangcai Bank]."

"……"Good name.

There is a postscript next to the phone number left at the bottom: No matter where you are, you can get through a loan phone number.

Wen Shi didn't have the habit of being in debt, so he originally wanted to throw away the business card, but there was a complex building in front of him, and he didn't see any trash cans on the road, so he simply put it away.

Complex.

People in Pearl Academy didn't seem to like to turn on the lights, and the building was dark in broad daylight.

While Wen Shi was going upstairs, he searched for "King's Card Box" in the game mall, planning to buy one for emergencies. After seeing the price, he silently withdrew his paw.

excuse me.

This price is enough for him to use the sword skill once, and there is still a balance.

Wen Shi walked all the way, only one office was occupied.

The indoor humidity is heavier than the outside, and there is no sunlight today. Teacher Ruan's desk is next to the window, and most of his body is shrouded in shadow.

Wen Shi knew why the other party called him here, but he didn't show it on his face, standing in front of Teacher Ruan with his head bowed.

"What happened in the library last night?" Without the slightest buffer, Teacher Ruan stared at Wen Shi's expression, as if trying to interpret every micro-expression change.

The library is closed today, and Teacher Ruan also went to the scene in the morning. The mermaid's whole body seemed to be sealed with wax, half-kneeling stiffly on the ground, with a tablet hidden in its belly. The picture was weird and distorted.

Wen Shi was silent for a few seconds, as if he was recalling his words, and then slowly said: "When I went, the seniors and sisters had just finished the pen fairy game, and I was sending books in the name of the teaching director, worried that they would not read them., I will quietly stay and observe..."

"Fortunately, everyone was very interested and devoted themselves to the book, but after a while, strange sounds appeared in the library, like cat meowing and fox meowing..."

He spoke every word very carefully, trying his best to show from the side that he was taking the task of delivering books seriously.

When Mr. Ruan heard that Wen Shi stayed behind to ensure that the students read the book, he felt a rare satisfaction in his heart.

"I thought the sound was caused by the wind, and I was going to close the window..."

Wen Shi's tone became hasty and tense, he took out his phone while talking, and opened the photo album tremblingly.

He seemed to be quite frightened, his fingers trembled more and more, and finally the phone slipped down accidentally.

Before the screen fell to the ground, Teacher Ruan caught it in time.

Wen Shi was still talking intermittently, repeatedly emphasizing the fear of last night.

Mr. Ruan could only look through the photos by himself. He first saw a photo of a fox that was vaguely visible, but the low resolution made the fox look strange.

These are the materials that Wen Shi prepared in advance. The fox fairy is a special kind of monster, which has a physical body and can be photographed and recorded after being seriously injured.

While turning back and forth, Teacher Ruan suddenly stopped, and was attracted by the mirror in it: "What is this?"

Wen Shi explained: "The props of the crew when I was acting in dramas before, after the performance, the teacher asked each of us to take one away as a souvenir from the performance, but I plan to sell it in these two days."

Before Mr. Ruan questioned the authenticity of the incident, Wen Shi gave a very reasonable reason: "There is only fifty yuan in the campus card, which is not enough to spend."

The special students who come to Pearl Academy are generally poor, so the school will give them a quota of 50 yuan in advance.Many schools don't want to give it, anyway, the school leaders don't plan to let these special recruits live for too long.

Teacher Ruan couldn't help feeling murderous when he saw the mirror, but it was a necessity of life. Seeing that the mirror in the photo album was pleasing to the eye, he said, "I'll give you one hundred yuan, and I'll bring the mirror over later..”

Wen Shi readily agreed.

He left the office on the grounds of taking a mirror.

After returning to the dormitory, there was an extra lunch box on the table, which was the meal that Ji Yuanzhi had entrusted to bring back for him.

Wen Shi never treats himself badly, and is going to deliver things after dinner.

The mirror stood against the table, and when he was eating, he would glimpse it from the corner of his eye from time to time. Under the influence of this mirror representing dialectics, Wen Shi's hypnotic effect, which was about to expire, was faltering again.

"Uzzah."

After repeating it subconsciously, his brows were tightly wrinkled.

At the same time, Ji Yuanzhi noticed this scene and determined that Asa I would "death" soon.

Unfortunately, the parties did not know.

Wen Shi felt dizzy and was still forcibly resisting this negative buff, so he took a few mouthfuls of food quickly and went out to deliver the mirror.

At the same time, in the office of the complex building, the perfect mermaid that only exists in game modeling is like a relief at the moment, standing still on the wall, with deadly lake blue curly hair dancing gently without wind.

This mermaid is Teacher Ruan's helper, and he once committed a killing spree in the cafeteria.

He would never set foot in the complex building on weekdays, but today is quite special. Many employees have returned to the dormitory on rainy days, and the principal is still dealing with library affairs. The probability of being discovered here is very low.

"I rarely go to the library, I don't know what happened last night." The beautiful voice seemed untouchable because of the coldness.

"After these special students entered the school, strange things happened one after another. The student who came to you just now has a breath similar to a stupid cat I have seen before."

The mermaid said coldly: "The time when that stupid cat appeared happened to be the first day of school for freshmen."

In previous years, he would rather kill such a suspicious existence than let it go, but now is the most critical time for Wang Suxing, and it is inconvenient for them to come forward for many things, so they have to find an intermediary.

Only freshmen meet the conditions. The school treats them as raw meat and will not implement strict control. Unlike regular veteran students, there are building managers on each floor.Follow militarized management.

"I've tested him once. If you doubt it, then try again." Teacher Ruan said with a cold expression, "Even if there is a little suspicious, we must promptly eliminate the source."

There is no room for error in this matter.

Due to heavy rain, the campus was empty. Downstairs, a young man was entering the complex building with his umbrella. Seeing this, the mermaid in the office temporarily disappeared.

The cold air outside didn't wake Wen Shi up.

When he held the mirror, he would always think of the "False King Asa" column on the attribute panel, and the adjectives dotted in front of it imperceptibly hurt his brain nerves.

The condition was not very good, so when Wen Shi entered the office, he didn't notice the flash of murderous intent in Teacher Ruan's eyes.

The school leaders said that the monitoring data was deleted. From Mr. Ruan's point of view, there are really some ghosts and ghosts, and there is no such thing as deleting the monitoring data.As a witness of the library incident, Wen Shi's suspicion in Teacher Ruan's eyes is getting more and more serious.

"It's raining so hard, it's hard work for you to take a trip." Teacher Ruan thoughtfully handed over a paper cup, "Drink some hot water."

A glass of water wakes Wen Shi up.

The water temperature is not high, a few tea leaves have not been stretched, and the sweetness and bitterness of the tea can't cover up the faint fishy smell at the bottom of the cup.

There is a problem with the water, but Wen Shi has no choice.

Mr. Ruan's seemingly gentle but actually strong personality, he has long been aware of it.

Knowing that there should be no hesitation, Wen Shi was flattered and said thank you, and immediately took the cup.

When the edge of the cup was brought to his lips, he thought of the dinner that night, and comforted himself that no matter how powerful the glass of water was, it would not be as good as undercooked meat.

As a matter of course, Wen Shi began to think about how to overcome the mental pollution caused by raw meat at that time. After some hard thinking, some fragmented fragments appeared in his mind, which made him sweat a little on his back in the cold weather.

grunt.

Wen Shi began to gulp water in front of Teacher Ruan.

A drop of mermaid blood was added to the water, and after passing through the esophagus, Wen Shi's eyes became a little more blurred, but that was all.After he established his Utopia, the influence of the mermaid spirit pollution was greatly reduced.

"Before you said that your goal was to participate in a concert." Teacher Ruan's voice was a little more confusing than usual, which made his willpower further relieved. "Tomorrow the academy will start selecting programs, and practice with your qualifications."It is impossible to be selected for three years, unless I use my personal rights to stuff you in..."

He looked at Wen Shi with slack eyes: "But if I do this, the school will definitely attract suspicion."

Teacher Ruan changed the topic: "Now there is one very troublesome thing..."

He didn't finish the sentence all at once, and the subtext implied in it was nothing more than that Wen Shi had to show corresponding value before he would consider making an exception for him.

Wen Shi's heart tightened. This should be the beginning branch of the main mission that the fat player just said.

He could only follow along and ask: "What's the matter?"

Worrying about the task in his heart, the consciousness in his mind is getting more and more mixed. Wen Shi's memories have been traced back to the fact that he once owned the "pen holder". The promotional draft is not a classic, but written by him himself.

His sanity suddenly became clearer.

So the kingdom didn't exist from the beginning?

Teacher Ruan stood up and walked to the group photo of teachers and staff hanging on the wall. The principal standing in the middle made his pupils shrink suddenly, and his hatred was no longer concealed: "The principal has been able to stand for so many years becauseHe dug out the mermaid king's heart, he..."

"No!"

A scream interrupted Teacher Ruan's speech.

Wen Shi's face was pale, as if struck by lightning.

His expression was extremely distorted, and it was impossible to fake this kind of expression. The other mermaid hiding in the dark and observing was startled by this state.

However, the two sides are not thinking of the same thing.

Wen Shi completely broke through the barriers of hypnosis, and his mind was full of: What did I do?What the hell did I do!

In his original idea, he might have done some outrageous behaviors, but he definitely wouldn't rise to the level of a fish-belly collection of books.He even used the function of his homeland, yelling Ulla in front of his family members, and even wanted to confer Ah Sang as King Asa II.

Wen Shi's body swayed, feeling like he was about to die suddenly.

The same scene changed in the eyes of Mr. Ruan and the mermaid who was observing secretly.

Wen Shi's pain, like the death of his whole family, was the reaction after hearing that the Mermaid King's heart had been dug out, so they took it for granted that the cry was for the Mermaid King.

Although the mermaid kept clamoring to revive the mermaid king, when they found out that the mermaid king's heart had been dug out, they were only angry but not sad.

The student in front of him, with such a hopeless expression, as if he wanted to disappear from this world immediately, seemed to be more sad than a real mermaid.

Teacher Ruan narrowed his eyes, making sure that there was no trace of fraud.

Acting also requires a preparation time, the other party does not have such artificial emotional transition at all, and it is done in one step.

"No!" The hoarse voice was about to howl again.

Worried about attracting other people, Teacher Ruan subconsciously covered Wen Shi's mouth with his hand. He was born with great strength, and Wen Shi himself couldn't stand firmly. This push directly pushed him to the wall behind.

Wen Shi's eyes suddenly widened, almost engraving the word "no" that he didn't shout out into his pupils.

Teacher Ruan gritted his teeth and threatened in a low voice: "I know you're sad, but stop barking."

His fingers were very long, and when he covered his mouth, Wen Shi's breathing was seriously hindered, and the breath was blocked in his throat, making the end of his eyes red.

The mermaid in the dark has disappeared. He heard the sound of high heels, and Wen Shi heard it too. The moment Mr. Ruan let go of his hand, he suddenly grabbed the other's hand and pressed it against the wall, making a trap to trap himself.Fake state.

Then successfully yelled again: "No—"

"Teacher Ruan, the concert program..."

When Wen Shi came in, he deliberately didn't close the door tightly, so as to avoid accidents and escape.After knocking twice, Lily pushed it away. She was looking down at the things in her hand, but when she looked up and saw this scene, she was dumbfounded.

"..."

Three seconds later, Lily backed out silently and closed the door by the way.

It is reasonable for the psychologically distorted victim to become the perpetrator, venting the pain he has experienced.

Since Teacher Ruan's claws did not reach out to the regular students, Lily decided to ignore them. Anyway, the purpose of the existence of these special students is to be eaten, and it doesn't matter how they are eaten.

She politely crossed herself in a final prayer for the student.

The office was eerily quiet.

Wen Shi's current state is very strange. On the one hand, because of the cup of tea with mermaid blood, his thoughts have not yet gathered, so he can say what he thinks of;

He adjusted his breathing and said at the same time: "You said earlier that if you use your private rights to directly stuff me into the concert, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the school, but now it will not."

Wen Shi said solemnly to Mr. Ruan, who obviously hadn't done anything, but whose reputation has been completely ruined: "Unspoken rules are the best explanation."

It is impossible to undo the past of the second year of middle school, and he looks to the future: "We have witnesses, when you choose the program tomorrow, if you put me in, the principal will definitely question it first, and then Teacher Lily will press down on me."The principal said, 'I saw Teacher Ruan sneaking into him', the principal would never let this kind of scandal get out, for the sake of the college's reputation, he would turn a blind eye and close one eye in the end, and tacitly allow me to join."

The pages between the lines completely paint the picture of what could have happened.

Wen Shi almost applauded for his flexibility, but in fact he did clap his hands with a 'slap'.

"Great, so no one will doubt us!"

No one would doubt Mr. Ruan's purpose, and his previous rhetoric did not count, so he had no excuse to issue difficult tasks for himself.

The headmaster, the mermaid king's heart, etc., at first glance, it's not a good job.The "King Card Box" is too expensive, and Wen Shi can only manually refresh the difficulty of the side missions.

Seeing Teacher Ruan's thin lips tightly pursed, Wen Shi took him for acquiescing, and continued, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. By the way, teacher, I don't have much singing skills. Don't overdo it.I'll just plug it in as a backup dancer."

He doesn't pick.

Before going out, he did not forget to bow deeply.

"..."

It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment Wen Shi made a special NPC tremble with anger.

The retro mirror on the table watched everything, and almost swiped "666".

My king, the eternal God!
