MTL - Fucking Beauty In Escape Game-Chapter 22
The shore was not far away, and at the speed of a mermaid, it took a few minutes to swim across. From a distance, he could see a piece of scarlet floating on the sea, and the smell of blood became stronger and stronger.
Li Xi frowned somewhat uncomfortably, deliberately trying to avoid the circle of sea water mixed with blood. However, his magic power detected that Duan Zhen was also there, so he had to show his head halfway, look left and right, and use the ability of a mermaid to attract a dolphin, sitting on the dolphin, only its tail touches the sea water.
This is a little more tolerable, but it also completely exposes his own existence to the eyes of others.
"Li Xi?" Duan Zhen was taken aback when he saw him, he didn't expect him to appear in front of all the taskers like this.
"Another mermaid!" shouted a man on the shore, "Archers take aim..."
"Stop." Duan Zhen pressed the man holding the bow and arrow.
Perhaps for the convenience of fighting, almost all the people selected for this mission, especially the human side, have the means of long-range attack.
When he stopped the others, Li Xi had already arrived not far from the shore on a dolphin. This distance is enough for other people to see his face clearly. The sun shines on his jade-white skin, his rosy lips are slightly raised, the scales on the half-exposed fish tail are shining, and there are a group of blue cute people around him. Dolphins really look like the mermaids described in Small World.
"I think we need to talk," Richie said.
He lowered his eyes to look lightly at the blood in the water, but found no mermaid inside, nor on the shore, obviously they fled after confronting the enemy.
"Talk about... what are you talking about?" A tasker asked stupidly, obviously confused by his beauty.
"What's there to talk about." The tall man standing beside him patted the back of his head with vigilance: "Are you also a tasker? This mission is clearly for us to kill each other, even if you have a good-looking His skin is not worth our lives."
Duan Zhen frowned, he realized that Li Xi had his own plans, so he didn't interrupt rashly. It's just that it feels a little complicated to watch the boy who was pitifully grabbing his sleeve in the previous two worlds suddenly grow into a person who can fight against other senior taskers.
"Of course I didn't come to kill you." Li Xi smiled, and his face seemed to glow when he smiled, which could firmly attract everyone's attention: "You probably haven't discovered that there are still people in this ocean. with other merfolk."
"What do you mean?" The leader's expression changed, obviously aware of something, but he still asked stiffly.
"In the kingdom where there are mermaids in the ocean, it is obviously impossible for you to complete the mission by killing all the missionaries." Li Xi said with a smile: "Unless you can kill all the mermaids in the ocean, otherwise you will be able to kill all the mermaids in the ocean." To face the wrath of a kingdom."
"Impossible." The other person said loudly. He looked into Li Xi's eyes. Even though he knew that the two camps were different, he couldn't help blushing, and his voice was much quieter: "The gap between the two sides is too big. One side has no chance of winning at all, the game cannot be set up like this."
Li Xi casually hummed: "You're right, so the most perfect way to solve the mission is not for the two parties to kill each other, but to cooperate."
"Cooperation?"
"I heard the news from other mermaids. There have been stories of turning humans into mermaids before." Li Xi dropped a bomb: "So, as long as you all turn into mermaids, this task will be completed."
He paused, then continued: "However, only ocean wizards know how to become a mermaid. We need to find the wizard first."
As he spoke, Li Xi quietly looked at Duan Zhen, only to find that Duan Zhen had a complicated look on his face, staring at him without knowing what he was thinking.
It's over, overacting.
Li Xi's heart skipped a beat, and the way to remedy it immediately flashed through his mind. He adjusted his sitting posture and expression without any trace, his tail curled up, and he swung nervously under the water. On the back, it was actually stretched stiffly.
Outsiders may not be able to see these clues, but he has been with Duan Zhen for a long time, and Duan Zhen soon noticed that he was nervous.
The strangeness in his heart was soothed, and Duan Zhen said: "What he said makes sense. The strength difference between us and the mermaid is too big, and the situation is completely different. The game will not set this kind of task."
He stood up and looked around everyone: "Even if you don't mention the mermaid kingdom, the only thing we can do is this deserted island. I believe you have explored it last night. Although there are no wild animals here, there is also a lack of food and fresh water. Mermaids can live in the ocean." Swimming freely in the water, with endless food. They don't even need to show up, just wait for us to die from exhaustion from hunger and thirst."
He said a long paragraph, and the people present were not fools to be in the middle class, and soon they began to think with twinkling eyes.
Li Xi smiled lightly at Duan Zhen, if it wasn't for the wrong venue, he even wanted to swim over and kiss Duan Zhen's small round mole on the tip of his nose.
It was the most outrageous thing he could have imagined.
As long as the things here are over, he can hint to Duan Zhen to go to the previous place for a "tryst". Even if he can't kiss Xiao Yuan Mole this time, it's okay to pretend that he didn't intend to kiss the cheek.
Thinking of this, Li Xi couldn't wait. Seeing that the group of people were still undecided, he didn't know when he would be able to make up his mind. He rolled his eyes and said again: "There is nothing that can't be decided. Even if the mermaid appears, you will It doesn’t necessarily kill them. Those who were hurt by you just now should be taskers, and those people don’t even have the ability to figure out the mermaid.”
He licked his lips and showed a provocative smile: "I can kill you all right now."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the tall man in the lead looked worried: "What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting, I just want you to hurry up, I'm hungry." Li Xi yawned lightly, lowered his head to tease the little dolphins around him, and hummed an unknown tune softly.
The tune is beautiful, and the gentle and hoarse voice brings everyone into the world of music, as if seeing the future they dream of through music.
Money, honor, love...
In just a few tens of seconds, the person who was still yelling just now showed intoxication, and walked towards Li Xi step by step.
The closer they got, the more obvious the warmth and joy became. Almost everyone was engrossed in the singing, completely unaware that their bodies had sunk into the water.
The drowning man still had a illusory and contented smile on his face.
"Li Xi!" Duan Zhen was also confused at first, but when his body entered the water, he sensed that something was wrong, and he patted the surface of the water and floated up.
He knew that Li Xi was giving these people a bad blow, but seeing that he didn't intend to stop, he couldn't help but shouted.
In this world, there is no legal restriction, even if Li Xi chooses to kill them like this, Duan Zhen does not have the status to interfere. However, he remembered the clean and clear eyes of the young man. Anyone who has been stained with blood knows that it is not a good experience. He does not want Li Xi to really step into the dark side of the world.
Naturally, Li Xi would not kill anyone in front of Duan Zhen.
His character is an innocent, pitiful, clean little white flower, and killing such a thing will never happen. In fact, this matter has been overdone today, but don't let those guys wake up quickly, he doesn't know when he will be able to talk to Duan Zhen.
Li Xi smiled at him: "Brother Duan, don't worry, I won't really kill them."
As he spoke, the dolphins beside him dived down and brought those people up.
They came into contact with the air, and without the temptation of singing, they began to cough violently one by one, and almost fell off the dolphin again.
When he woke up, he looked at Li Xi with suspicion.
"Don't look at me like that." Li Xi spread his hands, "This is the basic skill of a mermaid, and a mermaid who can't sing won't be able to eat."
He intentionally said something terrifying, and those people really succumbed. After all, nothing else, this kind of irresistible mermaid singing is really hard to guard against, they almost drowned just now, if Li Xi hadn't stopped, then the mission this time, the mermaid camp has already completed.
"We agree to cooperate." After being abused, these people finally became honest: "But we can only be on a desert island. You may need to find the whereabouts of that ocean wizard."
"No problem." Li Xi readily agreed.
"Now that this matter is settled, I will find other mermaid missionaries by the way and inform them about the cooperation." He continued: "If you have any other information, it is best to tell me directly, or tell him Row."
He pointed to Duan Zhen: "Just now he got rid of my singing by relying on willpower, probably not on the same level as you."
Li Xi stomped wildly: "He is also good-looking and strong. I think he should be assigned to the mermaid at the beginning."
Now that the cooperation has been confirmed, it is no longer an antagonistic relationship for the time being. Even if Li Xi was almost killed by Li Xi just now, the others felt fearful, and at the same time silently turned to Duan Zhenlemon.
Duan Zhen felt a little helpless, looked at Li Xi, saw that he was smiling with crooked eyebrows, and quietly made a gesture of seeing you later, he knew that the other party still had something to say to him.
"I'm leaving." Li Xi waved his hand at him, gave him a sweet smile, and rode the dolphin away.
He waited until there was no smell of blood before he jumped off the little dolphins, reached out to stroke them one by one, and swam towards the reef where he had dated before.
After talking so much just now, my mouth is a little dry, and I even want to eat.
He recalled Duan Zhen's scent, and moved his nose, wondering if Duan Zhen would like to give him another lick to satisfy his hunger later. In order to complete the task normally, he ran around and paid too much.
