Gu Wuji went to the beach, originally wanting to purify the ghosts around him, but found that the ghosts had moved away before he got close.
“What’s going on…”
But at this moment, there was a faint singing voice. This time it no longer appeared in everyone’s mind, they could all clearly feel that the singing came from underwater.
Along with these songs, the ghosts in the water seemed to be bewitched by something, and they moved out of the way, leaving a sea area free for the players to safely swim to the location of the lifeboat.
Everyone was shocked. They didn’t expect that the mermaid’s singing could actually reach this point but considering that the other party was probably the boss of this copy, there was nothing shocking about having such power.
This was obviously the best time to escape from the dungeon, but many people were still hesitant. They didn’t know if this was a trap.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a trap. The boat will definitely sink if it goes like this. It’s better to fight.” A player said, diving directly into the water and swimming quickly towards the location of the lifeboat.
Others were very moved when they saw that the ghosts around them really had no intention of coming over. What’s more, if they missed this opportunity, they would really die in this copy.
After all the players were ready, they jumped into the sea. The hands of the first person to swim had already touched the edge of the lifeboat.
However, Gu Wuji just stood there, frowning. Others looked at Gu Wuji and saw that he didn’t want to enter the water, so they didn’t force him. After all, it was his own choice.
What Gu Wuji considered was that in the current situation, if he entered the water, he would definitely attract the attention of the mermaid and might also put other players in danger.
Besides, the mermaid was looking for a partner, so this might be a trap set for him. Gu Wuji could almost guess what would happen to him after entering the water.
The singing around him became clearer and clearer, and what Gu Wuji heard was much clearer than others. The gentle voice seemed to be ringing in his ears, like the distance between the closest lovers.
The voice seemed to be calling him, and anyone with a little unclear consciousness might jump into the sea amid this confusion.
Realizing this, Gu Wuji’s face became even more ugly.
But at this moment, Gu Wuji clearly saw that several players’ bodies suddenly stiffened while swimming, and their movements became very slow. However, their expressions did not show any strangeness, and they were obviously trapped in hallucinations.
“Oops.” Gu Wuji couldn’t stand anymore. How could he see other people having trouble because of his relationship.
Lu Yuanzhou, who had the best relationship with Gu Wuji, was slowly sinking, but no one around him noticed anything strange about him.
“He can actually guess the person who has the best relationship with me.” This could already be said to be an honest threat.
Gu Wuji knew that he could no longer hide. He looked at the sea surface seriously and vaguely seemed to see some golden light shining in the water.
“Sure enough, I still have to reject others properly.” Gu Wuji made up his mind and jumped forward directly into the cold sea water.
The singing that sounded in Gu Wuji’s ears seemed to become softer and more pleasant at this time.
There were faint golden light spots floating in this sea water, reflecting the surroundings like beings in fairy tales. And in the surrounding darkness, even if you couldn’t see clearly, you could feel the number of ghosts lurking inside.
Gu Wuji saw at a glance that Lu Yuanzhou was unconscious and slowly falling into the sea water, while not far away, there was the mermaid.
The other party’s long silver hair was floating in the sea, his golden eyes looked at Gu Wuji, and with a deep smile, he had extended his hand to him.
Gu Wuji quickly swam forward, hugged Lu Yuanzhou’s body, and then looked at the mermaid in front of him seriously, communicating with him in the spiritual world.
“I’m very sorry. Maybe what I did before caused you to misunderstand something, but I didn’t mean anything… and we are not suitable for each other. I may not be the person you are looking for at all.”
After hearing what Gu Wuji said, the mermaid became expressionless and looked coldly at Lu Yuanzhou beside him.
If Gu Wuji had to find something to describe this look, it should be the look of looking at the mistress…
“No, wait, he and I don’t have that kind of relationship. We are just friends.” Gu Wuji could only explain, then he wanted to take the scales out of his arms and give them back to the mermaid.
But the next moment, the singing that echoed in his ears gained an indescribable and strange feeling, which made people shiver all over, and the surrounding sea water became bone-chillingly cold.
Gu Wuji realized that his action of returning this love token to him had obviously angered the mermaid.
The mermaid was already swimming toward them, and he was looking at Lu Yuanzhou with undisguised murderous intent.
Although this mermaid was very reliable when he was gentle, he was also completely irrational when he became angry. Gu Wuji felt that he clearly believed that killing Lu Yuanzhou, the ‘mistress’, would solve the problem.
Gu Wuji estimated that it was impossible for him to get involved with the mermaid. Besides, he was not the only one present. If he caused Lu Yuanzhou to die here, he would be in trouble.
“I must leave now…”
Gu Wuji said in a low voice and suddenly opened the pocket watch on his body. With a burst of golden light, the space seemed to freeze, and the singing disappeared in an instant.
The mermaid’s body also seemed to be suppressed in this space, but the light that restrained him around him seemed to be thin and could shatter in the next moment, obviously it would not last long.
After going through the last dungeon, it seemed that due to the mysterious appearance of the evil god, the power of this pocket watch had also been strengthened a lot, otherwise he would not dare to take it out at this time without any plan.
“Great, it seems to be very effective.”
Taking advantage of this time, Gu Wuji held his breath, pulled Lu Yuanzhou, who was still in a coma, and swam quickly towards the location of the lifeboat.
Just when he was still some distance away from the lifeboat, the mermaid’s song suddenly sounded, followed by the ghosts swimming around him. They seemed to have lost some kind of suppression and attacked directly.
Gu Wuji had no choice but to swim and purify the surrounding ghosts. His speed had become extremely slow, but the lifeboat was already in sight.
The other players were already on the lifeboat, and they were all paying vague attention to what was happening underwater, and they couldn’t help but be shocked.
Was this actually the case? This mermaid really fell in love with Gu Wuji! Should they say that he was worthy of being a man that even the mountain god would like…
But then they noticed the danger to Gu Wuji, and they all became nervous. If it were someone like Falcon, maybe everyone would be happy to see him with the attitude of watching a show. But many people present had been helped by Gu Wuji before, and they didn’t want anything to happen to Gu Wuji in this situation.
Immediately, many players used their own props to repel the surrounding ghosts, and at the same time stretched out their hands to where Gu Wuji was, “Brother Sun, hurry up!” “You can definitely do it!”
Gu Wuji immediately pushed Lu Yuanzhou up. When he saw Lu Yuanzhou being pulled up safely, he was relieved. But at this moment, his body was entangled in the black mist of the ghosts. For a moment, he seemed to have lost his strength, and his body was still being pulled downwards.
“Damn it…”
Looking at the lifeboat that was so close to him, Gu Wuji didn’t know what to do for a while.
But at this moment, a force suddenly hit from one side, which actually dispersed the surrounding black fog and pushed Gu Wuji’s body upward a little.
Gu Wuji looked around in shock and saw the mermaid boy who had started swimming beside him at some point.
This mermaid was apparently fed by Wuji before. According to Director Fiona, they were all created using the blood taken from that mermaid through a special method. In fact, they were not real mermaids, but they still possessed some mermaid abilities.
“It’s you…” Gu Wuji felt moved in his heart.
It seemed that although the research institute had been turned into ruins and everyone inside was dead, the mermaids they raised were still alive and well.
These five immature mermaids used their unskilled singing to drive away the ghosts around them with difficulty. This was still a very unfamiliar behavior to them. After all, a while ago they were even afraid of ghosts in the water and did not dare to approach.
Gu Wuji actually felt a sense of relief watching the children he taught grow up, even though only a few days had passed.
These mermaids directly pulled Gu Wuji’s body and swam towards the surface of the water, much faster than Gu Wuji’s own swimming.
Obviously, their actions against the boss of this dungeon were a little difficult, but these mermaids didn’t hesitate at all. They just rubbed Gu Wuji’s body at the end when they were about to send him away, as if they were reluctant to see him leave.
Finally, at the last moment, the people on the boat suddenly grabbed Gu Wuji’s hand, and he turned over and entered the lifeboat with a strong effort.
Almost at the same time, an angry song suddenly sounded, and huge waves surged in the sea area.
This picture made them feel that this boss should not be called a mermaid at all, as his posture was no different from that of a sea monster!
As the ship was about to be overturned, everyone had to cling to the lifeboat to prevent themselves from falling into the water at such a critical moment…
[Congratulations to all the players for successfully clearing this dungeon and you will soon enter teleportation.]
