The merman's scarlet eyes lit up, and his expression turned out to be expectant.

"Soon," he said to Kou Dong, "soon..."

"I'll take you back."

Back to the bottom of the sea.

It was the first time he saw this person and he began to yearn for it. From the first sight, the mermaid had already chosen a partner.

His strong fish tail flapped on the ground, revealing a kind of panic-stricken impatience. Kou Dong was stumbling in his heart, and his rummaging was 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?"

Your dad is about to find out that you're not his biological son!

Kou Dong was as worried as all the cheating men in the world who were worried about being exposed, and didn't dare to look at the original wife who was wearing a cuckold.

Ye Yanzhi tightened his clothes and looked a little nervous. It took a long time before he said, "Wait."

"What are you waiting for?" Kou Dong whispered, "The door should have been opened. Shall we find a time to run?"

"You can outrun him?"

"..."

It can't run away.

The villain is indifferent.

"Getting caught after escaping, he'll be even more annoyed," he said. "To run - but not now."

When is that?

Kou Dong was a little unsure. But his cub said it with certainty, let him stabilize the experimental body first.

Kou Dong: "..."

Alas, well, life is hard.

He couldn't hide it anymore, so he had to hold the broken eggshell in front of the experimental subject.

The mermaid glanced at 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 slender hand turned over the largest piece of the eggshell.

The bottom is empty, there is nothing.

His thin lips pursed tightly, and his expression was a little terrifying, "Where is he?"

The corner of Kou Dong's mouth twitched twice, he lowered his head, and a kind of sadness from the inside slowly emerged from his face.

With a click, two large teardrops fell, dipping his clothes into two dark spots.

"No," Kou Dong cried out in desperation like an old father with a lost child, "What should I do, my child's father, my child ran away..."

Mermaid: "..."

Ye Yanzhi: "..."

Ye Yanzhi didn't even know why he was angry.

Why was he forcibly recognized as so many fathers?

Kou Dong choked up and leaned his face on the mermaid's chest, but he didn't have any clues in his heart.

Whether such nonsense can deceive a mermaid with a fairly high IQ, he is not sure.

But no matter what, he can't sit still - at least find a reason to explain why his child is gone.

The mermaid didn't answer, her face was tense and she didn't say a word. After a while, he suddenly smiled slightly, and his expression turned out to be a little warm.

"Gone?"

he asked softly.

Kou Dong nodded extremely difficultly.

"It's okay," the mermaid said slowly, "there will be other children."

"..."

Even though Kou Dong leaned on him, he couldn't help shivering. He listened to the mermaid's voice, only to feel the chill burrowing into his bones.

"There will be many... many."

He opened his mouth and laughed, his fangs shining brightly. He didn't show any mercy, and his strong arms grabbed Kou Dong. After all, Kou Dong is also an adult. Although he is slender, he still has height and weight here. When he mentions it, he looks like a Only a chicken cub with no resistance at all.

The mermaid lifted him and slid upstairs again step by step.

He put the man back into the petri dish and soaked it in the light blue nutrient solution.

A string of gold necklaces collected from somewhere was placed beside Kou Dong, looking like it had been plucked from some poor researcher.

The mermaid placed it with those creamy milky white beads, and the blood-red pupils rolled in their eye sockets, as if dissatisfied.

not enough.

He raised his tail suddenly, his eyes searching all over the place.

not enough.

To decorate his lair, he needs many, many more of these things.

At the other end, Song Hong couldn't help but feel despair in his heart.

"According to what you said, don't we have nothing to do?"

They found the research materials of the experimental body S in the research institute. The fighting power of this mermaid is equivalent to fifteen adult men.

And these few of them, at most two and a half.

Not enough to stuff a fish between its teeth.

A Xue said, "No, there is still another way to try."

She licked her lips and continued: "In Norse legends, if a mermaid chooses someone to be his nest, in order to appease his partner, he will bring a lot of gold and silver jewelry to decorate his nest where he lays eggs—"

"They often bring gold coins from the deep sea, and the selected nests are in the gold coin pile."

In the dark, lightless depths of the sea, in the midst of that golden light, the merfolk would arch their backs and relentlessly pour eggs into their nests one after another. These eggs can hold the belly of a human nest very large, and after two or three months in it, they will be released one by one, and they will also roll into the golden nest.

Thousands of eggs, but usually only two or three can actually grow into little mermaids. They also fight each other, squeezing other siblings to survive, sending them into the mouths of sharks or something next to them.

The weak eat the strong, even the cubs.

Song Hong frowned and finally understood what she meant.

"You mean—"

A Xue took out a shining gold chain from her luggage compartment. That chain was the prop she got when she completed the last ghost dungeon, and it also had a function that could turn a fixed place into a locked space, which was equivalent to adding an invisible lock to this place. Those who step in can't get out, and those outside can't get in.

It's just that the number of times the props can be used is limited, and she only has the last one left. It is something used to save her life, and she doesn't dare to use it easily.

Now, she intends to give this gold chain a try.

She placed the gold chain in the corner of a laboratory and hid it behind a box.

Song Hong said, "Why not just put it in the middle?"

The little girl laughed instead.

"What are you a merman?" she said. "They're never some credulous animals."

"—they are beasts."

Beasts tend to only believe in what they get by themselves.

She put the golden chain deep and hid with Song Hong, silently waiting for the arrival of the experimental body. Finally, they heard a screeching noise, as if a snake was slid toward here—and both saw the merman as they quietly looked up from behind the sheltering test bed.

This glance is clearer than before. The mermaid's nose moved slightly, as if sniffing something. Immediately, he quickened his speed, without even thinking about sliding towards the direction where the two were hiding, suddenly raised his head and looked around vigilantly.

A Xue had no other choice but to pray in his heart that the mermaid would not find anything strange. Fortunately, after the experimental subject searched, nothing was found, and he slid toward the hidden chain again. His slender hand suddenly opened the box in the corner, and immediately found the envelope beside the box.

Inside is a chain made of gold.

The subject took the chain out of the box and held it tightly in his hand. It is instinct for a mermaid to build a nest to facilitate a partner, and whether it is a bird or a fish, they all love beauty. The mermaid grasped it and slipped it into his pocket.

He turned to leave.

It's now!

A Xue seized all the time to recite and was shocked, but suddenly heard the sound of locking softly in the air. It was as if a door was locked somewhere out of sight.

"Did you make it?"

she said anxiously.

Song Hong didn't answer, just stared at the mermaid in the room. The mermaid pushed in the air, but was unable to push the invisible door open, opened his mouth immediately, and suddenly let out a heart-shattering roar.

The props worked, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Song Hong said, "Go!" He couldn't wait to run up.

The little girl ran up and looked back, and heard the strong mermaid slamming against the invisible wall, and then there was a panicking cracking sound.

Song Hong turned his head and saw that his scalp was numb, "Oops, that's a low-level item, it can't trap him, he's coming out soon!"

"—Quick, find someone quickly!"

A Xue gritted her teeth and said, "It should be upstairs—"

However, as soon as they ran upstairs, they heard the shrill sound of the mermaid below. This sound was like a horn, and countless experimental subjects stepped out of the petri dish following this sound, tall, short, big, small, with handsome faces, strange shapes... the place to go. They changed the attitude of turning a blind eye to the players just now, and they all showed their fangs to them.

"Go this way!"

The two of them were familiar with the structure of this institute, and immediately changed directions and ran wildly. Countless monsters followed behind them, and the tentacles were crowded together, and the scene was almost a zombie siege.

Kou Dong naturally heard the voice too.

His hands and feet were still a little weak, and he struggled to climb out of the huge petri dish. Before leaving, the subject controlled him and asked him not to leave the tank for half a step.

Ye Yanzhi said that at this time, he was naturally prepared for the mermaid's trick, and took the lead in covering the man's ears with his own hands. Seeing that the young man was still stunned, his eyes were straight as if he had stepped into the kingdom of heaven, and he slapped Kou Dong twice, finally waking him up from this mental bewitchment.

Real domestic violence.

It's just that Kou Dong's face is still not good-looking, and the movements to turn it out are quite difficult.

It was at this moment that he actually saw the faces of Song Hong 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 the remaining three had already left through the open passage.

Song Hong didn't have time to elaborate, so he stretched out his hand at him first, "Come down! He'll be out soon"

He gave Kou Dong a little strength and helped the young man get out of the petri dish. Kou Dong's hair was soaked, and he was shaking slightly, but he didn't have time to wipe it.

"Where to go?" the little girl shouted, "The experimental subjects outside blocked the door!"

The army crushed the city.

The only way out was blocked, and the roar of the mermaid on the bottom layer became clearer and slammed hard. You don't need to listen to know that the invisible door won't stop him for long.

Kou Dong's scalp was also a little numb. He suddenly gritted his teeth, pulled something out of his 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 else.

The clothes unfolded in the air with a hula and were thrown far away. The monsters raised their heads suddenly, and hatred overwhelmed the mermaid's control over them for a moment.

The insane experimental body rushed in that direction impatiently, struggling to tear that piece of clothing to shreds. Even if a few wise ones wanted to rush up to stop them, they were blocked by a large number of monsters, and a traffic jam occurred for a while.

opportunity!

There is no need for Kou Dong to say more, several people understand in their hearts, and immediately start running!

At this time, Kou Dong really thanked these NPCs for their full favorability score - if he made up his mind to kill him, even if he had nine lives, he could be buried here.

Fortunately, even if they were awake, they just whined and roared, 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 heavily and told her to go first, and he followed suit. At the same time, Kou Dong also heard the mermaid's voice. The experimental subject S's voice was far less gentle than before, and he shouted angrily from the back of their heads, trying to control him again.

However, Kou Dong had already stepped into the door with one foot, and the little man sitting on his shoulder stood up, frowned, and covered his ears with his hands.

"Don't listen."

Ye Yanzhi said calmly, firmly blocking his ears, "Don't listen."

Kou Dong finally ran out desperately.

As he tumbled forward heavily, he felt a sudden chill on his back - the sharp fingernails of the merman chasing after him ripped through his clothes. He tumbled to the ground with the momentum, hitting his elbows on the cold ground.

The moment he stepped out of the door, the two people beside him suddenly disappeared.

Kou Dong was the only one left on the ground.

The merman was at the other end of the door, standing tall, his scarlet eyes fixed on him. With this door blocking him, he couldn't take another step forward.

He just looked at Kou Dong, and a low roar slowly came out of his throat, like an evil dragon whose treasures were taken away.

"Mine," he murmured, opening his mouth, "my..."

"Do not."

The villain suddenly opened his mouth and retorted with a frown, "It's not yours."

The experimental subject slowly moved his gaze up, as if he had finally seen Ye Yanzhi. In the copy, he has never been able to see, but now across this narrow door, his pupils suddenly tightened and he found something.

This discovery made him extremely angry, and he showed an unprecedented killing intent.

"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, and the sound made the scalp numb, and they couldn't bear to listen.

It was ridiculous, but Kou Dong could indeed hear the grief of the loss of a loved one from the noise. Those sequin-like eyes were facing him, and each of them was round and even covered with a hazy luster of water-they were always facing in his direction, and 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 light.

"Don't worry," he said calmly, "and don't feel sorry for them."

"They just want to keep you."

Kou Dong didn't say a word, just turned his head to look at them again. For some reason, such a scene made him feel a little familiar, and his heart was also sour.

It's like something like this... has happened before.

But when? why?

He tried hard to think about it, but he couldn't remember the slightest bit.

Kou Dong walked away from the door. After two steps, he heard a voice from the system.

[Congratulations to the remaining players,] the system said in a rigid voice, [You have completed this copy: It is hard to fly with wings attached. 】

Kou Dong didn't hear the slightest congratulations in his tone.

He even felt that the system regretted that he did not stay inside.

[The following is the task settlement. 】

[The number of points in this instance: 200. Number of team members: 7 people. 】

[Player one gets points: 21. Player two gets points: 7. Player 3 gets points...]

It reported one by one, and one of them had zero points. It must be the unfortunate person who was occupied by the NPC just after entering the dungeon. The system finally said: [You are player seven, and you have obtained 52 points. 】

Kou Dongxin said that team quests are indeed more profitable than individual quests, and the points of his second dungeon have more than doubled compared to the previous one.

[Because you are the player with the most points in this dungeon and have opened the hidden story, you will get the item: Siren's Tears. 】

Kou Dong's trouser pocket suddenly fell, and when he took it out, it was a smooth and round pearl, very different from the creamy, translucent milky white beads accumulated at the bottom of the petri dish.

It was rumored that the mermaid's tears fell into beads, but it turned out to be true.

Holding the pearl in his hand, he immediately saw the prompt box.

[Item name: Siren's Tears.

Function: Siren is good at seducing people's souls with singing, wearing tears on the body, you will also have the ability of mermaid to deceive people.

Times of use: once.

Scope of use: Limited to one creature, cannot be used as a group weapon. 】

Equivalent to a simplified version of hypnotism.

Kou Dong has personally experienced it, and understands the power of this hypnotism. If there is no external force forcibly intervening, it is basically difficult to break it.

I'm ashamed to say it, but the few times he broke it, he was beaten up by his cubs...

Just thinking about it makes my face hurt.

Ye Yanzhi seemed to have read his mind, and the young man pursed his lips, arrogant and arrogant, "No thanks."

Kou Dong: "..."

Alas, forget it, domestic violence is not good.

At the same time, he saw the icon of an envelope glittering in the upper right corner. Only after clicking it did he realize that it was a message sent to him by Song Hong from the same team.

Naturally, Song Hong was not his real name. He just kept calling this name in the game. He politely invited Kou Dong to continue forming the team next time, and said, "Your whimsy sometimes makes me stunned."

I mean, the translation is probably like, I have never seen such a showy operation like you...

Kou Dong also liked him very much, not to mention the fact that the two of them were willing to let go of the chance to escape and turned their heads to save him, which was enough to move him.

There is true love in the world, there is true love in the world!

The friendship of comrades-in-arms under socialism is really touching!

He decisively returned.

The little girl Axue also sent him a message, but the little girl was cool, and the number of words in the message was small, just a solitary period.

Kou Dong also gave her a smile.

After doing all this, the system pops up a new reminder, [The plot retracement is about to enter. 】

Siren's birth 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 powerhouses.

They have to devour their companions to survive.

Therefore, the fishermen in the nearby waters call them: the evil spirits from hell.

They dread the sharp, pointed teeth of sirens, and dislike their human-like faces.

Fortunately, sirens tend to grow in the deep sea and rarely rise to the surface. Gradually, few people remembered their stories. Only in the religious prophecies of the year, the legends of these strange fish were recorded.

According to legend, a siren will only see one person in his life. They don't have sex until they fall in love with someone.

After that, even if that person is on the other side of the mountain and water, the siren will find him. It will lure him to the surface with its demagogic voice, then drag their loved one to the bottom of the sea, and make him grow gills and genitals into a perpetual, warm lair.

Before giving birth to sex, they have no weakness. They are as hard as an iron plate from top to bottom.

until you fall in love with someone.

until you fall in love with someone...

The siren looked on the water for a long time. It sticks its head out of the water, and its algae-like hair flutters away. From a distance, it looks like an ordinary swimmer.

Although it is a shallow sea, there are not many people swimming in this area. Most of the people nearby are afraid of the unknown creatures in the water and dare not go into the water easily.

Only tourists from other places can't help but take off their shoes when they see this clear sea.

"Be careful," his companion frowned, "this is the sea, not a joke!"

"It's okay," the boy said, brushing his hair quickly. His skin was extremely white, with black hair and black eyes, and in the sunlight, it reflected 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 involuntarily swam closer to him. The boy's companion was still shouting something on the shore, but the boy couldn't hear it at all. He plunged headlong into the water, like a pliable and flexible fish, swimming quickly into the distance.

The siren followed him involuntarily, following the path of his swimming.

It was a sunny summer day.

It sees sunlight.

It saw the sun, pouring over the sea. He saw the sparkling waves, rippling circle after circle.

It saw the slender arms, as they rowed on the water, stirred up a snow-white wave.

"..."

It slowly opened its scarlet eyes, and there was a trace of the hunter's light in it.

The author has something to say:

Mermaid: Open the door, send love.

Kou Dong:  …

Sorry, rejected.
