It seemed that something beautiful in Gu Wuji’s heart was suddenly broken.
Now that you are actually telling me this kind of thing, is it true that in the world of supernatural copies, there are no beautiful mermaids like those in fairy tales?
“But there is reproductive isolation between mermaids and humans.” Gu Wuji still insisted, he firmly believed that such an interracial love affair would not happen to him.
Director Fiona’s ghost looked at Gu Wuji with a bit of sympathy in his eyes, and said, “According to my research and examination of some documents, such mermaids are looking for spiritual partners who are most compatible with themselves. They don’t care about the barriers between races, and they never think about breeding offspring. That’s why there are so few mermaids now!”
“Such a partner seems to be destined from the beginning, just like the existence of some kind of destined person. Then he will give his most precious scales to the other party. If the other party accepts it, it means acceptance…”
Gu Wuji: “…But if the other party is actually unwilling to accept it?”
Gu Wuji suddenly felt that the scales on his body had become hot. Why would he encounter this kind of thing just by playing a normal copy?
He suddenly began to reflect. Although he often encountered ghosts in reality, everyone was friendly and good people. Even some evil ghosts were just ordinary evil ghosts…
Why when he entered the copy of this game, he always encountered some evil spirits who had other intentions for him. This was not scientific at all. Could it be said that this game also had elements of love cultivation?
“Of course, because most people don’t know about such a thing, they will accept it by default.” Director Fiona said: “But even if humans don’t accept it, mermaids will never give up and will take their partners away by force, let alone in the big world. In some cases, they have even used the ability to influence the minds of others, such that ordinary humans will immediately fall in love with them.”
“But humans can’t survive in the sea,” Gu Wuji asked. In fact, at this time, he just started to be curious about these mermaids.
“The power of a mermaid will affect its partner. It seems that they have the power to allow each other to survive in the water.” Director Fiona shook his head, “I am not very clear about this… but it is also very possible that they become bound with the soul of their partner, so that the other person can never leave and live in their dream.”
Gu Wuji: “…” To put it bluntly, it would be to die directly.
Director Fiona sighed again, “After the mermaid was caught by us before, he stayed there very calmly. At first we thought he had some emotional problem. But now that we think about it, he was probably waiting and looking for that destined partner.”
Gu Wuji: “?” But he only came to this world as a copy!
“Now it seems that the mermaid has probably regarded you as his partner and will never let you escape easily.” Director Fiona said: “You’d better be careful.”
Gu Wuji: “I understand. Thank you. But I think he may have found the wrong person.”
After Director Fiona said this, he had probably finally completed his mission, so he disappeared.
Gu Wuji quickly accepted this. Thinking about it, this was just an operation to increase the difficulty for the players. It was not like there hadn’t been anything like this in the past… he guessed it was just a setting of choosing a destined partner from all the players and adding the villain boss, it was definitely not the fact that he attracted the other person.
This made Gu Wuji feel a lot more comforted.
He ran towards the exit, but the ship, which had already sunk most of the way, seemed to have been hit by something. The ship suddenly shook and tilted to a very steep angle. Many people stumbled and almost slipped into the water.
If Gu Wuji hadn’t grabbed the raised spot on the floor in time, he might have fallen straight down.
He probably knew in his heart that it was the mermaid of this copy who had taken action. Only such inhuman beings could have such power… To be honest, Gu Wuji still felt a little complicated. After all, the other party had always been his helper before, but now he had to face such a terrifying existence.
Gu Wuji turned around to look at this moment and immediately saw the map of the ship posted on the wall of the hall and quickly remembered the escape route in his mind. Just in case, he also checked the routes in other places.
But what made the situation worse was that the entire ship had started sinking underwater at a faster speed as if it was being pulled hard by something.
Everyone’s expressions turned very ugly. Since they had gone through so many dungeons, their physical strength had already increased beyond the level of ordinary people. Otherwise it was estimated that they would have died within a short time in such an environment.
Gu Wuji did not see Lu Yuanzhou and Falcon here. They must be staying elsewhere. After all, this ship was quite big.
At this time, ghosts from the outside world began to slowly invade this space. Ghosts slowly appeared in the water. The corpses on the ship also stood up unsteadily and approached the place where the players were. Moreover, in this cabin where it was already extremely difficult to walk, they moved with amazing flexibility, but with a weird posture, which made people’s scalp numb just by looking at them.
“Damn, there will be more and more ghosts if we continue to stay here!”
“We can’t stop here at all.”
Everyone’s hearts were beating wildly in shock, and they continued to move towards the exit with difficulty.
Of course, for Gu Wuji, everything now was not difficult at all. He even helped some players leave, which immediately made these players extremely grateful. If possible, they would even want to build a statue of Gu Wuji.
Just when he was about to leave, Gu Wuji suddenly saw two people struggling on the other side. One of them suddenly kicked the player in front of him down next to a corpse while he himself escaped directly out of the door with joy on his face.
The man below had a look of astonishment on his face. He was almost close to the corpse, and the corpse’s outstretched hands would soon touch his body. Under extreme fear, he moved to the side with difficulty, but due to another shaking of the cabin, his hands failed to grasp firmly, and his body started falling downwards.
The sea water below was already densely packed with ghost figures.
“Help, help -“
When he shouted these words, the player was already in despair. He could not imagine how he could survive.
But the next moment, a hand suddenly grabbed his, Gu Wuji reached out to grasp the door frame and grabbed the player with the other hand. Carrying the weight of this big man seemed to hold no difficulty for him, “Are you okay?”
The player breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, “Thank you!”
The two quickly climbed over the door frame and finally reached the outside corridor. They could reach the outside of the ship by passing through this area and could escape by then.
There were several players above. The man who had an argument with this player before saw them and immediately sneered, his face not very good-looking.
The corridor was now extremely tilted, and the two of them had to climb it up like a rock. Fortunately, there were many decorations on the walls of this corridor, and there were sturdy carpets on the floor. Otherwise, they couldn’t imagine how they could escape as quickly as possible.
Suddenly the player screamed, “Down, down!”
Gu Wuji looked down and saw several tourist corpses with twisted limbs suddenly appear in the water, moving towards them at an extremely fast speed. It was just as they were about to climb up.
This scene was too horrifying, and everyone climbed up as fast as if they had been beaten to death. The man who had attacked others before arrived at the destination first. He directly opened the door in front of him and sneered at everyone as he walked out, “You guys just wait here to die!”
Everyone looked at the scene in shock. The bodies of several crew members were hanging on the deck outside. They rushed towards the man the moment they saw it. But the man reacted too late, then he let out a scream, and the sound of a heavy object falling into the water was heard from the outside.
Everyone was shocked, and no one dared to go out from that door. The people who followed quickly closed the door, chose another exit at the corner, and hurried towards that direction.
But the corpses outside did not seem to want to let anyone go. Instead, their faces were pressed against the glass, their ferocious eyes looking at the people inside. Their strength even caused the door to begin to deform.
“Oops, we have to hurry up.”
Gu Wuji helped everyone else get to the corner. Everyone could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but the corpses behind them had already caught up.
The leader turned his head towards the door with an ugly expression, “This door has been distorted due to the impact and cannot be opened by conventional methods. Do we have to find other exits…”
Everyone looked at it, this door had obviously been deformed due to external force, and the material was very strong, even if they tried to hit it, there was not much hope…
A male player rushed forward in disbelief, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t shake the door even a little bit.
“Fortunately, I looked at the map before. If we go in from the next room now, we can still——”
Before the man could finish his words, Gu Wuji walked directly over and came to the door under everyone’s stunned gaze.
Everyone’s expressions were very heavy. They had a good impression of Gu Wuji. Seeing this scene, they thought that Gu Wuji could not accept the fact that the door could not be opened.
“Sun Shi, don’t think about it. It’s impossible to open this door.”
One person also tried to comfort Gu Wuji, “Although the detour will be more dangerous, we can definitely escape.”
Then they watched helplessly as Gu Wuji slammed into the door. At this time, the door was like made of tofu, making a loud noise, and then the whole door actually fell from the door frame, crushing several corpses when it fell out.
“Let’s go quickly.” Gu Wuji looked at everyone.
It took everyone a long time to react, and they still felt like they were in a dream.
The several ghosts above were also subdued with the joint efforts of everyone, and Gu Wuji purified the corpses of these poor tourists and crew members.
After everyone climbed to the outside world, they felt moved when they saw the long-lost sky. They had not noticed it before when they were in the research institute, but now that they came to the outside world, they finally lost the tight feeling.
At this time, the situation outside became very strange. Near the sinking ship, there were bodies still struggling to move. And there were still many ghosts lurking in the dark water.
Some other players were on the wreckage of a part of the ship on the other side, looking at the ghosts in the surrounding water with ugly expressions, not knowing how to escape from this situation. As soon as they woke up, they all found themselves in the sea, with dark evil ghosts following behind them. Those who swam slowly had been dragged into the water and did not know whether they were alive or dead.
Lu Yuanzhou was also on the wreckage and immediately waved his hand in Gu Wuji’s direction, telling him not to worry about him.
As for their target, they were two unmanned lifeboats floating some distance away.
This scene was really weird. On this ocean, the two lifeboats looked as unreliable as possible. Everyone even felt that they should be unable to resist the blows of the surrounding ghosts.
But if you looked carefully, you could find that the ghosts in the water dared not approach the two lifeboats, as if there was something on them that scared them.
“It seems that as long as we get to the lifeboat, we can successfully leave this instance.” One person murmured.
But everyone felt a little helpless. After all, it was too difficult to reach the lifeboat from the siege of these ghosts on the sea. It was impossible to imagine how to do it.
