MTL - Fucking Beauty In Escape Game-Chapter 35
When they woke up, it was already evening, Li Xi rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed: "What time is it?"
It looks the same no matter what time it is in the deep sea. Although he has turned into a mermaid, he doesn't know how they tell the time.
Duan Zhen shook his head, and looked out of the shell: "It seems that they haven't come back yet."
Li Xi snorted: "It should be early, but I feel like I slept for several hours."
He slept so deeply that he almost thought it was already the next morning.
"About four hours of sleep." Duan Zhen said in silence for a while.
"How did you figure it out?" Li Xi was curious.
"It's not a calculation, it's a feeling." Duan Zhen turned to look at him: "They haven't come back for so long, maybe something happened."
Li Xi said coldly: "The accident is also their own problem."
The next moment, he realized that his performance was too indifferent, and explained in a low voice: "Although we are teammates, they have always gone too far and treated you as free labor. I don't believe that they will try their best to find sacrifices. Maybe he's hiding in a corner and being lazy."
What he said is also possible, Duan Zhen curled his lips helplessly: "I'll go out and look for it."
"I'll go too." Richie held him back.
Although it was annoying to those people, he couldn't let Duan Zhen go to the sea alone. Duan Zhen is indeed very strong, but he is also a human being at a disadvantage in the water, and Li Xi dare not let him go out by himself.
Especially when gods are involved in this quest.
He pursed his lips, and said simply: "Let's go directly to the altar. If we can communicate with Sea God, he can also help us find out where those people have gone."
Duan Zhen was startled: "Will the gods help us?"
"Relax." Li Xi patted him on the shoulder: "As long as I am devout enough, Sea God will help."
He dragged Duan Zhen to the altar, and the altar was the same as before they left, not even a speck of dust on it.
"The previous octopus was probably attracted by the altar, so it made its home here. It is also because it is in a place with abundant magic power, so its size and IQ are far superior to those of its kind." Li Xi stroked his chin: "Duan Duan, are you here?" Wait for me, I'll go take a look."
He was about to swim to the altar, but his wrist was suddenly grabbed. Looking back, Duan Zhen frowned slightly, and said after a long while: "I'll accompany you."
Li Xi laughed: "It's useless if you go there, you're not a mermaid."
But he still took Duan Zhen to the altar together.
"If I close my eyes and don't move for a while, don't worry, I should be talking to Sea God." Li Xi said, "Duan Duan, help me pay attention to the outside, and don't let other creatures disturb me."
"Okay." Duan Zhen agreed without hesitation.
Seeing that he was so serious, Li Xi couldn't help approaching him, quickly kissed him on the cheek, and then wagged his tail: "I'm starting, don't bother me."
Cowardly after kissing.
Duan Zhen couldn't help laughing, seeing that Li Xi had closed his eyes and stopped moving, he took out his sword and began to be on guard.
On the surface, it was said that he communicated with the Sea God by praying, but in fact, after Li Xi closed his eyes, the magic power wrapped around the altar, and began to climb around the statue of the Sea God. Halfway through the climb, the statue emitted a faint golden light, and a voice appeared in his mind: "This can constitute sexual harassment, Lord Demon King."
Li Xi ignored his gossip, and said straight to the point: "You should know my purpose."
"I know, I know, but if you intervene in the mission like this, aren't you afraid that Lord Hewlett will be angry?" Sea God said helplessly.
"He's awake?" Li Xi raised his eyebrows.
"...Not yet." Sea God shook his head.
"Then he won't know, right?" Li Xi's voice was kind.
Sea God was silent.
As the small plane **** under Hewlett, he has also heard about Senafel's deeds. Although the other party's style is reasonable among several demon kings, he is not a good person to get along with.
He can vaguely feel that if he refuses here, maybe the next step is to be a "soldier" in the first ceremony.
"You're right." He said, "So this time, what do you want me to do?"
Li Xi showed a satisfied smile: "Don't worry, it's not difficult."
He told Sea God all his requests, Sea God looked weird, but still nodded in agreement: "No problem."
Duan Zhen, who was waiting outside, couldn't hear their conversation, but since the statue flashed golden light, he obviously felt a little more indescribable power around him, and it seemed that even the flow of water had become stagnant.
Only then did he have a general understanding of the concept of gods.
Under the pressure, no creature approached without eyes. It wasn't until Li Xi opened his eyes and the pressure dissipated that the surrounding world came alive again.
"Gods can't just use their real bodies to step into the world under their control." Seeing his serious face, Li Xi immediately guessed what he was thinking: "The specific principle is very complicated, you can understand that this world can't bear his energy, Just get in and it'll crumble."
Of course, that's entirely because this kind of little **** can't even fully control his power. If he can absorb all the energy into his body, he can run around with Duan Zhen, and he won't fight for hundreds of years like some gods. Millennium Bachelor.
There was an inexplicable sense of superiority in Li Xi's heart.
"Oh, that's right." When he recovered from his sense of superiority, he remembered something important: "I've made a deal with Sea God, and when the time comes, sing him a song, and he'll turn you into mermaids, but..."
He quietly approached Duan Zhen: "I don't want those people to pass the test so easily, so I will make them suffer some hardships. Don't worry, their lives will not be in danger."
Duan Zhen stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, knowing that he was venting his anger, he bent his lips indulgently: "Okay, it's all according to what you said."
"Thank you Duan Duan." Li Xi hugged him and rubbed against him.
"This is the opportunity you fought for." Duan Zhen was a little bit overwhelmed by him, but he still put on a calm and calm look on his face, and pushed his hand on Li Xi's shoulder slightly: "Do you want to call now?" They come back?"
"Yeah." Li Xi nodded, "But let's not tell them about the sacrifice yet, let's see what they can come up with."
"What else do you suspect they are hiding?" Duan Zhen was startled, and quickly realized: "Indeed, when I went to inquire before, they still hesitated and refused to say clearly."
"In the background of the world, you were sent by the king to hunt mermaids. The king must know that there are many mermaids in the endless sea, but he only sent a few of you, which means he thinks you can complete the task." Li Xi analyzed.
Duan Zhen looked at him with a smile in his eyes: "You are right, so the human side must have something to rely on."
Li Xi glanced at him indistinctly, realized that Duan Zhen was 'cultivating' himself, and didn't want to be underestimated, coughed lightly and continued: "Although the weapons you all have are powerful, they are not enough to hunt killer fish, so There must be something else on you, if Duan Duan is not clear to you, it is probably in the other four people."
Duan Zhen nodded: "And then?"
"It's not clear what it is, but I suspect they won't take it out so easily." Li Xi rolled his eyes and leaned close to Duan Zhen's ear.
Before he could speak, Duan Zhen retreated reflexively.
Li Xi was stunned for two seconds, then smirked: "Duan Duan, what are you hiding, I won't blow air into it on purpose this time."
He swam over with his tail wagging, hugged Duan Zhen's arm, and smiled: "But you are so sensitive... Are your ears your sensitive point?"
Duan Zhen kept a serious face and did not speak.
When Duan Zhen straightened his face, he was full of aura, and most people would not dare to look at him, but Li Xi was not afraid at all, and circled around him: "Don't ignore me, I was wrong, I shouldn't be so blunt speak out."
His apology was very insincere, Duan Zhen couldn't hold back, and reached out to knock him on the head: "How can a child speak without restraint?"
"I'm not a child." Li Xi changed his face, and he suddenly moved closer to Duan Zhen: "Look at me, I still look like a child. And, even if I'm really only 18, that's still a marriageable age in our place. "
"The legal age of marriage for men is before the age of 22." Duan Zhen said, he frowned: "You guys..."
"It's always possible to have a wedding without a marriage certificate." Li Xi almost slipped his tongue: "That's all... a de facto marriage."
He didn't know much about the laws of this world, so he said too many mistakes, and quickly changed the subject: "I showed the sea god, they are not in danger, they are scattered all over the ocean, I called the mermaids to come and gather."
Before the strangeness in Duan Zhen's heart spread, he blocked him, quietly watching him make sound waves.
It's just that he always felt that what Li Xi said just now was a little strange.
When Li Xi turned his head and smiled at him with a guilty conscience, Duan Zhen suddenly realized what was wrong with that beautiful and sharp face - what is "even if you are really 18 years old"? Could it be that what Li Xi said back then was not his real age?
Duan Zhen was silent.
Between Li Xi who is not yet an adult and the other party who is only a child, he thinks the former is more likely, and Li Xi's personality has always been more like a child.
