Chapter 209
Chapter 209
Drops of water kept falling from the ceiling of the cellar, dripping on Huasan's pale cheeks and hitting Yitu's eyelids.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Xu Heng let out a breath of foul air slowly.
In the narrow pool space, the npc who was kicked into the bottom of the pool by the flower umbrella
The old woman has already got up from the ground.
She looked at the three people who had fled here expressionlessly, they were also all wet and looked embarrassed.
But unlike Yitu and the others, there was a two-meter-long and half-meter-wide glass cabinet lying horizontally behind her.
The glass cabinet was also filled with water, but the color of the water had already turned dark red and turbid.
Yitu could even see the minced meat and residue floating in the water. Obviously, the old woman Fang Qin raised something in the glass cabinet and fed it not long ago.
It was only at this moment that they realized that not all of what they said were false.
After a brief silence, the old woman took the lead to break the deadlock. She gave Yitu and the other three a false smile:
"Have you killed all the fish outside?"
"I thought that those who found the entrance and came in were those carp attracted by the aroma."
aroma?Yitu froze for a moment.
Ever since he entered the cellar, his nerves have been highly tense, and apart from the severe and unbearable pain, the rest is a biting, numb cold.
If the old lady didn't mention it, he didn't notice right away that the cellar was indeed filled with a fishy and sweet aroma at this moment.
Different from the smell of water and blood, this smell is sweet and cloying, but also inexplicably heady.
Yitu can't describe this feeling specifically, but Xu Heng understands what this sweet smell is.
In fact, it wasn't the first time he smelled this smell, but he had already smelled it long before the fish that entered their room and put on the sheets disappeared.
Under the fear of the unknown, the fishy sweetness permeated in the nasal cavity, revealing a smell of death.
At first, Xu Heng didn't quite understand that it was just an impulse.
But at this moment, in this narrow space that looked like a water prison, when he saw the lake-blue thick fishtail flashing past in the glass cabinet behind the old woman.
That impulse finally broke through the fog and went straight to the heart.
The sweet smell emanated from the human-faced shark, although he knew that it was probably the granddaughter of the old woman they saw before.
The sweet smell that fills the nostrils inexplicably arouses an unprecedented strong appetite.
Although it was funny to say, the image of fresh and delicious sashimi really appeared in Xu Heng's mind at this moment.
It was a strong desire to eat fish.
It came so abruptly, but it also caused infinite reverie.
Xu Heng clenched the tip of his tongue, slightly numb, but his mouth still salivated uncontrollably.
Driven by the sweetness, he couldn't control his reaction, but his mind was very clear.
Xu Heng soon realized that maybe it wasn't just the three of them who were affected by this smell.
There are also carp who are almost insane.
At this moment, there was a sharp cry from the top of the cellar, accompanied by the sound of violent impact and bedding being torn.
It was the carps who were looking for the smell and trying to get into the passage regardless.
And what attracted them crazily was the mermaid kept in a glass box by the old woman.
In the muddy blood, the real face of the thing could not be seen clearly, and the face of the little girl that the three of them had seen before was probably just the back face of the thing.
Even though the old lady once told them that the beauty mask of the shark is very attractive, it is also one of the main ways that the shark uses it to hunt prey.
But in fact, the three of them didn't react at all.
In other words, the beauty face of this shark is incomplete, and it does not have the function of luring prey at all.
However, on the little girl's face that Yitu saw, there were no scars or man-made scratches.
This supposedly seductive human face has indeed grown into the most ordinary human face.
As for the cause of this incident, Yitu only thought of one possibility.
That is this human-faced shark, which has a genetic defect, that is to say, only half of the human-faced shark's blood flows through its body.
And the other half... the answer is obvious.
This is why the old lady Fang Qin is here, and it is also why they are here.
"Your granddaughter is a half shark, you lied to us."
Yitu looked into the old woman's eyes and said in a deep voice.
Fang Qin's face did not change following his words.
She just twitched the corners of her mouth, "Did they tell you? You can't believe what I said, what do you know..."
Only halfway through her words, the noise above everyone's heads became louder and more intense.
At this time, the old woman's complexion changed slightly, and she subconsciously said:
"Time is running out, time is running out..."
As she spoke, she groped in the water, and the moment she lifted herself up, all three of them saw the machete that was more than one meter long in her hand.
"what are you going to do?"
Seeing the old woman approaching step by step with a machete, Xu Heng, who stood in front of Yitu and Huasan, suddenly tensed up.
"what are you going to do?"
The old woman didn't answer his words, but her expression was slightly crazy, and she said plausibly:
"She's about to grow up, she's about to grow up, the moment of transformation is coming, and you..."
"All have to die!"
As soon as the words fell, the old woman rushed over madly holding a machete.
Xu Heng was stunned for a moment, but it was only for a short second, and the instinctive reaction of playing in the poker field all year round was to bow his head and fall over his shoulder, all in one go.
The old woman was slammed to the ground by him, and the machete also changed hands.
Xu Heng pressed the back of the knife firmly against the old woman's neck, with a puzzled expression on his face.
"I'm really sorry, there's no way to cooperate with you."
Although their props were deliberately restricted by the card game, the old woman, as an ordinary story npc, wanted to test her reaction ability with advanced players like them.
Even if she took a machete, it doesn't matter, as long as it's not a gun, the plot npc can't hurt anyone.
Just when Xu Heng wanted to forcefully ask the old woman about the shark, there was a sudden movement from the glass box not far away.
A thin palm, only half the size of an adult, was printed on the glass case, the blood-red one was particularly shocking.
And with the appearance of this palm, the top cover of the glass box was lifted up repeatedly, making harsh rattling sounds.
Xu Heng looked over subconsciously, but he didn't relax his strength.
Yitu and Huasan also kept an eye on the glass box, although the mission of killing fish that the old lady mentioned before was just for the three of them to act as bait to delay the time.
But this task is not completely divorced from the main line of the plot.
Even at this time, the task of killing fish became completely clear.
The "fish" they want to kill from beginning to end has never been the so-called scorpion, but the mermaid that is being kept in the glass box at this moment.
Yitu tried to get up from the ground, but he hadn't stood up yet, a pale, dead face covered with transparent glass.
Yitu froze in place for a moment, it was not a little girl's face, except for the distorted and dislocated facial features, and the lake-blue scales, it was indeed an adult female face.
Even though it's so ugly, so hairy.
change?In what direction is it changing, a true shark?
Yitu hadn't been able to think carefully, nor had he had time to get the answer from the old woman's mouth.
The next second, the thing opened its eyes.
"Don't look it in the eyes!"
At the same time, the old woman struggled to shout out a warning sound.
However, it was too late.
It wasn't just Yitu who saw it, they all saw the blood-colored animal pupils filled with countless silk threads.
It was a symbol of evil and a harbinger of death.
In an instant, the cold river water poured into Yitu's ears, completely submerging him.
After being swallowed up by the darkness for a moment, Yitu finally realized that he was very likely to be haunted by a human-faced shark just like the bizarre incident that happened to Xu Heng before.
Although what he suffered was like a real falling into a river, the desperate suffocation and the coldness of being surrounded by lake water.
But Yitu is still sure that this is just a series of illusions created by the man-faced shark leading his consciousness to sink.
While he's not sure about conscious death, whether in-game death is also declared.
As the oxygen in his lungs was evacuated little by little, Yitu had to stop other thoughts and try his best to imagine the light.
However, what had originally worked on Xu Heng's body did not produce a miracle on him.
Yitu's heart sank suddenly, trying to think of as many survival conditions as possible in his mind, trying to trigger the death multiple choice question.
From candles to flashlights, and even possible ships, Yitu thought about each of them, but the silent darkness remained indifferent.
No, what went wrong.
Yitu endured all this painfully, but felt that he was going further and further on the road of guessing the correct answer.
Not a lamp, not a rope, not anything he could use, so what else?
A friend, the old lady Fang Qin, or a villager who has never really met?
The answers to the multiple-choice questions were crossed out one by one, until the last villager appeared, and the silent darkness finally moved.
A multiple-choice question about death appeared before Yitu's eyes as he wished, even though this question also didn't give him any choice.
