Of course it is impossible to take the wrong child away. Wen Shi is an orphan and has no blood relationship with his brother.
However, it is still a bit strange to have the identity of brother on this person. I don't know how to describe that feeling. There is always a sense of civilization that is out of place in him, which seems to be different from the humanistic spirit that we often come into contact with in modern times.
No one spoke, and the dormitory fell into an eerie silence. Only when the old ghost came in to change the water and mop the floor would there be a slight noise.
The cleaning process was very pleasant. The old ghost really liked the dense smell of blood in the air. When he was put into the ghost box, there was still a smile on his dry skin.
When it is warm, open the only two windows and the balcony door to further ensure air circulation.
There was a small card hanging next to each bed, indicating the student's identity. Without the glass blocking it, the moonlight shone more thoroughly on the small card, and the word "Aaron" shone brightly.
Yaerlin saw the bed that belonged to Wen Shi: "Little brother, there is a man on your bed."
"…That's my friend."
"Little brother?" Song Yan on the balcony grasped the key point and looked at Wen Shi: "Boss, do you have a second brother?"
Wen Shi was also very curious.
Yarlin shook his head. "You look like a very small cub."
The breath was too pure and gentle, without any offensive power.
Song Yan on the balcony continued to focus on the key points: "Boss, you have so many family members, why did you have to choose you as a sacrifice to resurrect others?"
Such a natural transition of the topic made Wen Shi's temples twitch.
It seems that you really want to kill Zhen Ling.
Lying on the bed, Jian Qingrong opened his right eye. His expression seemed calm, but his pupils, stained by darkness, seemed ready to stir up a surging wave at any moment.
Because of Song Yan's words, at the beginning of a new day, Ji Yuanzhi's daily visit of "He is so pitiful" also came on time.
"Sacrifice?" Yarlin's tone rose slightly, and his raised eyebrows showed his master's unhappy mood.
The dizzying throat-burning sensation of strong liquor once again filled the entire room.
Wen Shi smiled weakly: "Let's discuss this proposition at the tea party later."
In order to calm the public anger, the weakest kitten in the family diligently poured a glass of water for Yarlin.
Under the boundless moonlight, Wen Shi briefly introduced the information in the current instance: "There are two types of mermaids on campus: artificially created low-quality mermaids and wild, high-strength mermaids."
He then introduced the habits of mermaids, saying, "Humans prey on mermaids, and mermaids also use humans as tools, tearing their flesh and bones apart and eating them after mating."
Yaerlin didn't react after hearing this and went straight to the core to ask: "What do you want to achieve?"
"I'd love to be able to attend a concert alive, and it would be best if I could get a chance to perform." Wen Shi smiled shyly, "Mingzhu Conservatory of Music should provide students with a stage to sing and dance."
In Yalin's eyes, Wen Shi, illuminated by his dreams, is the snow lotus on the vast iceberg and the only pure white jasmine in the world.
Ji Yuanzhi had seen this kind of expression too many times and knew exactly what conclusion Yaerlin had drawn. He thought calmly, "Why don't you watch what kind of dance Pei Wenwei is performing before you draw any conclusions?"
After explaining his dream, Wen Shi still did not pry into his privacy in the parallel world. It was already past two o'clock, and he knocked on the ladder of the upper bunk, signaling Jian Qingrong to go back to their beds and prepare to rest.
Jian Qingrong was not a rogue like the little octopus and came down cooperatively.
"Good night."
His hair curled up and fell naturally, and his deep voice had the gentleness of a gentleman. In reality, Jian Qingrong was just like the mimic octopus, except that one used his cute appearance to act cute, while the other pretended to be a soft persimmon that was easy to manipulate.
Wen Shi yawned, confused by the scheming performance: "Good night."
After a frantic run, the delayed soreness in his muscles made him want to go to bed as soon as possible and sleep.
By the ladder, Yarlin, who was not a particularly talkative person, also went to the empty bed to rest.
The dorm had limited tools, so the old ghost wiped the blood on the dressing mirror behind the door twice with a rag, smearing it all over. The blood that covered the entire mirror still exuded a pungent bloody smell. Yarlin was undisturbed, simply unbuckled his belt, tossed the quilt aside, and fell into a deep sleep.
The night ended quickly.
When the alarm rang the next day, everyone felt like they hadn't slept much because they had only started resting in the early morning.
Wen Shi first went to the cafeteria to buy two bags of bread, and when he came back he gave one bag to Yarlin.
The prices in the college are very high, and fifty yuan is not enough to spend. If things continue like this, players may fight each other for campus cards in the later stages.
"You..." Wen Shi was a little embarrassed.
Yarlin's aggressiveness is too outstanding. If he is brought to the class like this, he will definitely become the focus of attention. Even if he is forced to stay in the dormitory, Yarlin's personality may not allow him to stay there.
At critical moments, we still have to rely on our sponsor. Ji Yuanzhi handed over a pair of black-framed glasses: "Wearing these can reduce your presence."
The thick lenses had no prescription at all, but when Yarlin put them on, his temperament became more refined and elegant. Even Wen Shi would ignore his angular face when he saw him and automatically formed a very ordinary impression.
As soon as I went out, I heard a loud singing voice.
Some students were singing by the fountain in the distance. Opposite was the dormitory building, and the old students were rehearsing a musical in the open space. When someone stopped, they would angrily yell at them to leave quickly. Further away, there were many students stretching and jogging in the playground.
The campus in the early morning is much more lively than the previous two days.
A huge banner was hung on the cafeteria, dormitory building, and trees along the tree-lined path: Concert sprint in fifteen days!
The broadcast was filled with passion: "Dear students, this is your first opportunity to gain a broad stage. It is a step towards changing your destiny. Time waits for no one, so study hard and practice diligently!"
The students were all full of fighting spirit, their faces filled with the ambition to participate in the concert. This atmosphere made Wen Shi think of the college entrance examination.
Song Yan raised his head unconsciously, and when he came to his senses, he found that he was actually infected, and he also felt an urge to fight with all his might.
Wen Shi had a bad guess: "In this dungeon, anything related to sound and text will pollute the player's mind and subtly brainwash them."
The study room is just a microcosm, and this death rule actually covers all copies.
On the way, I met two players who were wearing the noise-canceling headphones they had redeemed. They came over to talk to Wen Shi, trying to find out what happened during the evening study session last night.
Seeing that the two of them didn't pay special attention to Yarlin, Wen Shi was completely relieved.
"Don't abuse compassion," he warned.
In the dungeon, no matter how pitiful the NPC is, they will kill people without mercy.
It's not that Wen Shi is selfless in sharing clues. If too many players are transformed into low-quality mermaids, they will be eaten and become evil spirits wandering around the dormitory building, which will also be a problem.
The two players seemed to be thinking about what they heard.
Wen Shi chose a seat in the last row today. You Shi was already familiar with the class schedule, so he didn't need to worry about it.
There are four classes in the morning, namely composition class, rehearsal class, and the last class is a large class consisting of two classes connected together: vocal music.
He stared at the schedule. "All three instructors' classes are crammed into one morning. I feel like something's going to happen."
The same lecture hall was filled with a dozen fewer students than yesterday. The petite girl I met yesterday had dark circles under her eyes. As she passed by Wen Shi, she forced her eyelids open and said, "Next time I tell you the fortune, I can tell you the result for free."
This was to repay the favor he had given them last night for reminding them to avoid the teachers at school.
The players generally did not get enough rest. When they closed their eyes and waited for the class bell to ring, the game prompt sound made everyone startled and woke up completely.
[Attention all players]
[The concert is about to begin, how can you stand still! ]
[Side Quest: Election of Class Representative
Task content: Students with a unique academic temperament are always more likely to be favored by teachers. Becoming a class representative can help you get higher daily scores.
Tip: Each student can only be a class representative for one teacher;
Tip: Please decide within 24 hours which teacher you want to be the class representative for. The system will randomly generate tasks for you.
Warning, it is important to follow the right teacher! ]
The last three exclamation marks are displayed in blood red on the panel, which shows how important they are.
Wen Shi: "First, exclude Teacher E."
The person who asked them to go to the library and wander around with a harpoon late at night is too dangerous.
He suddenly muttered to himself, causing Yaerlin to look over. Wen Shi explained what he needed to do, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Jian Qingrong sending a message. He was stunned: "Where did you get this phone?"
"Inherited the legacy of the deceased people in the dormitory."
Jian Qingrong said this with confidence and took out two campus cards.
Wen Shi: "...Where are the remaining phones?"
It's just right for Yarlin.
Jian Qingrong raised his head and glanced towards the first row.
Wen Shi understood: "Give it to the wandering corpse?"
Jian Qingrong nodded and smiled gently. "This way, through him, we can synchronize information more closely. For example, if a merman intended to do something bad to you last night, that's all."
He had been very restrained and did not tamper with the water source. Originally, Jian Qingrong wanted to let all potential criminals feel the importance of having a pure heart.
Wen Shi forced a smile. Another thing that surprised him was that the zombies could actually use mobile phones.
"His learning ability is getting stronger and stronger..." Wen Shi stared at the front row and narrowed his eyes.
Song Yan suddenly asked, "Boss, are you going to choose one of the three instructors as the class representative?"
Wen Shi nodded. Compromising was not an option for him. Mentors held far more power than ordinary teachers. Being close to them would help him secure performance opportunities.
"It would be best if we could pick a mermaid." In front of Song Yan's surprised gaze, Wen Shi said, "Things are precious because they are rare."
In the eyes of most faculty and staff, players are a source of low-quality mermaid meat that can be readily converted, and following them carries too many risks. While mermaids are ferocious, the risks are predictable, consisting primarily of mating and cannibalism.
"When faculty and staff eat meat, there's a profit distribution involved, so it certainly can't be enjoyed by one person alone," Wen Shi said slowly, "but mermaids will enjoy it all by themselves, eating the mating partners."
So the real mermaid will definitely not be like the defective product last night. In order to prevent her identity from being exposed, the probability of the mermaid attacking the class representative is actually not high. Even rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows.
From this perspective, being a mermaid class representative is like having a talisman.
Ji Yuanzhi agreed: "The schedule puts these three people on one day, simply to give us a final chance to make a judgment. From a game perspective, there are three choices, and there's a high probability that one of the three will be a mermaid."
The class bell rang.
The instructor who came in was a cold, icy man. "My last name is Qi. Today I'll teach you the simplest music theory, and then we'll do some imitation exercises."
The projector started showing the courseware. Apart from the abnormal horror elements, the instructors of Mingzhu Academy were all talented and knowledgeable. The PPT was well-organized, and they definitely prepared their lessons carefully.
Theoretical classes are always boring.
As the saying goes, "the company of bad people breeds bad people." You Shi was deserting the front row, while Wen Shi was sitting at the back whispering, "Will eating mermaid meat for a long time turn you into a mermaid?"
Jian Qingrong: "I can't eat cooked food, and even if I eat it raw, it will take time to change."
People's physiques vary greatly. The first director of the sanatorium used a bunch of experimental subjects, but he was the only one who could coexist perfectly with the source of pollution.
"Yulia, and the two students in the last row who are talking, please stand at the back."
The Wandering Corpse left a deep impression on everyone in the first class, and the name was almost imprinted in the minds of the instructors.
Wen Shi and Jian Qingrong exchanged a glance. He looked at Yaerlin, who was sitting at the outermost position, and said a little embarrassedly, "Excuse me. I'll go stand there as punishment."
Being called out in class and made to stand in the corner in front of his family made him feel a little ashamed.
Yaerlin actually praised him, "That's pretty good. When I was your age, I almost got expelled for corporal punishment from the instructor."
"…"No, why do you want to corporally punish the instructor?
Yaerlin seemed to know what he was thinking: "Weaklings are not worthy of teaching me."
The three of them stood in a row, leaning against the cold wall. Youshi looked up in a daze. Jian Qingrong's peripheral vision was full of Wen Shi. Wen Shi, who was standing at the edge, was secretly glancing at the cloudy sky outside the window, thinking about what to eat for lunch today.
During the 40-minute class, Teacher Qi was serious throughout. Unlike Teacher Ruan, his voice had a metallic, cold quality.
Wen Shi thought calmly that he must have missed some details. There must be something abnormal about one of the three mentors.
After the class, Wen Shi was deducted another three points for daily scores.
The next class was taught by a red-haired teacher named Lily. Compared to the other two, Lily had a very distinctive personality and was passionate and unrestrained. In order to liven up the classroom atmosphere, she even performed an entrance dance herself.
After finishing the dance, Lily calmed her heartbeat and immediately began teaching, explaining how to better combine body language with music.
Wen Shi's eyes never moved away, and suddenly there was a light in his eyes, as if he had discovered something.
When it was Mr. Ruan's turn to teach, Wen Shi was unusually serious, as if he didn't want to blink, and sat upright from beginning to end.
When the get out of class was about to end, Wen Shi was called upon to answer a question. The disaster he had escaped yesterday was postponed to now.
Teacher Ruan asked three questions, but he didn't know the answer to any of them, so he was deducted five points.
Teacher Ruan only gave a few seconds to answer and immediately threw out the next question. Even if the people around wanted to remind him, they couldn't do it.
Song Yan, who had been impressed by Wen Shi's seriousness in class not long ago, was surprised: "Boss, are you really listening carefully?"
Teacher Ruan had already talked about one of the questions in class, and it was obvious that Wen Shi's focus was not on the teaching content.
After class, Teacher Ruan walked out of the classroom on time as usual. Wen Shi was about to speak when he suddenly turned his head.
That feeling of being watched on the train came back.
The malicious gaze that seemed to stick to him made him frown.
Most of the players were walking out, and it was hard to determine who was hostile to him. This had even gone beyond hostility and was approaching murderous intent.
Yaerlin, always sensitive to murderous intent, sensed it as well. Unfortunately, after the last class, everyone rushed out to grab the cheap food, making it impossible to accurately locate the target.
After all the students had left, Wen Shi said, "It's not Lily."
Song Yan: "Is it because she dances?"
It is unlikely that a mermaid, who finds it painful to walk upright on land, would love to dance.
Wen Shi shook his head: "The powerful mermaid should have overcome this problem long ago."
They even developed a Linyuan food processing factory. IQ and physical strength cannot be replaced by raw numerical considerations.
"But some things are hard to change..." Wen Shi's expression became more serious. "All three instructors had thermoses. Lily started teaching straight after dancing and didn't drink any water the whole time. Teacher Qi only drank two sips of water, and Teacher Ruan five."
Fish's thirst for water is a need ingrained in their genes, and no amount of evolution can completely erase it.
The last two are difficult to distinguish. Teacher Ruan teaches a large class, which is twice as long and also includes the break in the middle.
Using omniscience to guess the answer to this kind of multiple-choice question would backfire severely. Ji Yuanzhi didn't use his [Information Omniscience] skill: "The thermos is the breakthrough point. What liquid is inside can help us further confirm it."
Wen Shi didn't respond.
The risk of stealing the mentor's thermos is too high, and it is not worth taking the risk.
"Let's take a guess." He said at last.
When the risks and benefits are not balanced, Ji Yuanzhi agrees with the view, and there is a 50% probability that he is wrong.
·
The college cafeteria is similar to that of ordinary colleges and universities, with a variety of dishes, and the cheap dishes are sold out every day and not replenished.
Every time special admissions students arrive, these cheap dishes are in short supply.
A sweaty player squeezed out, holding several meals in his hands. He looked at the soup splashed on his body in the crowd with disdain: "It's expensive and tastes bad. Why bother queuing for food?"
You won't die if you skip a meal.
This is a trio that can be called a golden pair. Their skills are very compatible, and they almost always team up to go to dungeons.
"Eating properly is good for your health," the captain said punningly. "Sick poultry are always slaughtered first."
Obviously, he also guessed that the weak would be preyed upon by the monsters roaming the dormitory building at night.
The girl on the same team took the food and chimed in, "The captain is right. There's a limit on the number of campus cards issued. There's a certain death rule hidden in it."
These three were the core members of the Six Commandments, with the captain being the president of the Sixth Commandment. After discovering that Wen Shi was also on the train, they immediately used disguises.
The girl said: "Disguise props are very expensive, I feel a little sad."
The Sixth Commandment has been developing tepidly in recent years and has been very low-key. They want to kill Wen Shi not because of hatred, but for profit.
The girl looked at the handsome young man and curled her lips: "Captain, you always say that killing Pei Wenwei will bring benefits, but these benefits are not worth the points consumed."
"It's even worse than before."
This sentence made the two members stunned at the same time.
It is not easy to become the head of the top ten guilds. The president of the Sixth Commandment is weaker in strength, but his reasoning ability is quite strong. He has already come to the same conclusion as Li Nan: the copy of the new round of dropped keys has a strong connection with Pei Wenwei.
"I only had a vague suspicion until Li Nan teamed up with Pei Wenwei to play a dungeon not long ago."
Li Nan would not get up early without benefit, he must be trying to take this opportunity to verify something.
There is also Yu Xingzhou. There is only one possibility for the two presidents to go to the base at the same time: the key.
"Over the years, the number of dungeons that yield keys has decreased, and the ones that do spawn are mostly duplicates of the same old ones," the captain said with a gloomy look. "There's only one possibility: the new round of dungeons containing the real keys haven't been released yet."
So they've been lying low for the past two years.
But recently, the atmosphere has changed, both in secret and in public. Not long ago, he received a secret tip-off that the president of the Fourth Commandment had found a key in the copy of the [Maternal and Child Health Hospital].
This is just what he knows. There are probably many more people who have collected the keys in secret.
The starting point of everything can be traced back to when the 3S copy was triggered.
"Also, the new round of dungeons containing keys are likely to be related to [Hospitals]. The game store previously sold eighty-four dungeons containing hospital elements, but recently over thirty have been secretly removed, presumably to prevent players from farming them."
The scene is a function specially launched by the game to fleece players. Wen Shi was originally planning to follow Ji Yuanzhi's advice and purchase a scene with ghost story elements to trick Pei Hongxin into entering.
President Liujie has been paying attention to the number of scenes on each theme, so as to provide reverse verification at critical moments.
Without giving them any time to digest the information, the captain directly revealed the secret he knew: "Kill the key holder and you can retrieve their key."
The two team members couldn't contain the shock on their faces. As everyone knows, once a player dies, everything will be reset to zero.
"I once killed a player, and a key automatically appeared in my backpack."
The girl's chest rose and fell violently, and she could clearly hear her own heartbeat: "Pei Wenwei has only played a few dungeons, so it's possible that he has the key..."
"Whether he has the key is another matter." The captain's lips curled up. "As the person who triggered the core dungeon, he must have [World Fragments] on him, which are also recyclable."
The other two members do not know the secrets of [World Fragments]. After becoming the presidents of the top ten organizations, there will be a gold label of game certification in their code names, and the game will tell them some secrets that ordinary players cannot access.
"If this succeeds, I'll compensate you each with 30,000 points," the captain said bluntly. "The presidents of the Ten Commandments all have certain game-opening privileges. Under the same circumstances, the key or fragment will definitely fall into my hands."
He directly explained his plan: "I will use the Queen's Box later. Xiaoxiao, you are responsible for making him make the wrong judgment."
[King's Box] can refresh side quests, while [Queen's Box] will increase the difficulty level of the quests.
The captain has studied Pei Wenwei's style of doing things and he will definitely compete for the class representative.
The mission emphasizes the importance of following the right teacher. If he follows the wrong teacher, the difficulty of the mission, which is already high, will be increased to a higher level. In an S-level copy, this is fatal.
The girl's skill is [Going in the opposite direction], which can make the target choose the wrong side when making an uncertain decision.
She asked uncertainly, "Is this possible?"
The captain nodded. "The moment the difficulty level was raised, it became a necessary cause and effect with the cause of death. The key will definitely be returned to us in the end."
As far as he could see, apart from Lily, the existing information made it impossible to clearly state which of the other two mentors was safer.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Everything they did was done in secret, without the need to show up in public, effectively avoiding a direct confrontation with Ji Yuanzhi. Even if they failed, they could still escape unscathed.
The captain suddenly stopped talking and the girl looked over. It turned out that Pei Wenwei and others were coming to the cafeteria to eat.
This time was not like right after class, where excessive peeping would definitely be discovered. Several people walked calmly from the fountain to the dormitory building. After they had kept a distance, the girl locked onto the target and used the skill [Going in the opposite direction].
After her success, her face suddenly turned pale. Curse-type skills are very harmful to the body unless they are used with the help of a carrier.
To avoid attracting attention, she quickened her pace and walked back.
Wen Shi, who had just sat down in the cafeteria, shuddered inexplicably. Although he was not changing his body, he had an urge to get angry.
Jian Qingrong, who had just returned from getting food, noticed his abnormality and gave him a questioning look.
Wen Shi summarized it as: "An indirect sixth sense attack."
Players have all had the experience of having an ominous premonition at a certain moment, and this premonition is often quite accurate.
He forgot to pick up any dishes and swallowed a mouthful of rice. It seemed that he had to be extra careful in the next two days.
There was a philosophy class in the afternoon, which was a rare non-professional class in Mingzhu College. The teacher was quite friendly. During the break, many players took the opportunity to pretend to be fans and ask for information indirectly.
"I really admire Mr. Ruan."
"Teacher Lily is obviously more powerful."
There are many such cooperative actions. Those who go to the stage now are players who intend to be the class representative and try to get information from the teacher.
Unexpectedly, Yarlin also came on stage.
When I noticed him during the heat test, he leaned on his black-framed glasses and blended perfectly into the group of players.
The players surrounding the teacher didn't disperse until the next class was about to start.
As soon as Yarlin came back, Wen Shi felt his hair stand on end again from the faint smile on his lips, and called him "brother".
Yarlin wasn't used to wearing glasses, so he resisted the awkwardness of taking them off and said, "Just asking about the campus layout. Going into battle alone, you need a map."
He put his arm on the table and mentioned that he had participated in a battle in the past, and then brought up the terrain advantage, successfully diverting the focus.
After two classes, when I left the building, I could see people in almost every classroom.
In order to obtain the qualification to perform at the concert, the old students are rehearsing their programs intensively. Once selected, they will not only get extra credits, but also have priority in getting debut qualifications after graduation.
Seeing Wen Shi's gaze lingering for a moment every time he passed by a classroom, Yaerlin promised: "Little brother, I will definitely help you achieve your dream."
Wen Shi nodded deeply moved: "Thank you, brother."
Ji Yuanzhi's glasses slid down slightly from his straight nose.
...There is no need to be so brotherly and respectful.
"I'm going to the library." After leaving the teaching building, Yaerlin said, "I want to learn about the culture of this world."
The library is relatively safe during the day, and it still has several hours before closing. The only trouble is that you need a student ID.
Yarlin didn't care about it. If he wanted to get in, he would naturally find a way to get in.
Jian Qingrong handed over his phone, but his eyes and words were directed only at Wen Shi: "There is a communication tool, which will make it convenient for him to contact you."
Wen Shi nodded: "You are still thoughtful."
Jian Qingrong whispered, "That octopus often causes you trouble. I want to make amends."
Wen Shi avoided the trap problem and walked towards the dormitory building with him side by side.
After returning, Wen Shi first went to the bathroom to take a cold shower. He always felt that his mind was not very clear this afternoon, and after coming out, he still felt in an inexplicable daze.
"Teacher Qi or Teacher Ruan." Seeing that the number of selection time on the panel was decreasing, Wen Shi couldn't make up his mind for a moment.
With his luck, he would have a high probability of hitting the target if he chose blindly, but he would still feel a little uneasy.
It was almost ten o'clock and Yarlin still hadn't returned.
Wen Shi was a little worried and called.
"I just came out."
There was a whistling sound of wind coming from the other end of the phone, indicating that the other party was indeed in the library, and only there was a strong cold wind nearby.
Wen Shi felt relieved when he heard this.
Another forty minutes passed and Ji Yuanzhi had already gone to bed. I reminded him to remember to lock the door.
Yaerlin didn't know what had delayed him and still hadn't returned. Wen Shi was about to call for a second time to inquire when his phone vibrated first.
"It's me." Yaerlin said, "I'm going to be busy later, so don't call me for now."
Wen Shi subconsciously asked him what he was doing.
"I'll help you confirm your mentor's identity." Yaerlin said calmly, "Little brother, I've had bad luck since I was a child. I don't like doing multiple-choice questions, and I won't let you do them either."
Outside the teacher dormitory building, a tall figure blended perfectly into the night. Yarlin took off his black-framed glasses and regained his former strength.
"I found out where the two instructors live from the library security guard," Yarlin said, looking up at the dormitory building where only a few lights were still on. "I also reconfirmed the mermaid civilization. It's actually very simple..."
He calmly looked at the dark figure that occasionally passed by the window and said, "After we sleep together, we'll see if he has a habit of cannibalism."
For the first time, Wen Shi's voice sounded panicked: "Brother, calm down, you..."
"It's a matter of mutual consent. Aren't mermaids always looking for people to provoke?" Yarlin's cold eyes shone with danger. "The other mermaid eater has also picked up some mermaid habits. I wonder which one I'll choose."
"Brother…"
"I like fair skin. The clear white color paired with the intermittent panting that seeps through the sharp teeth makes it doubly delicious, don't you think?"
In reality, he had almost grasped the truth: during the daytime classes, someone had been looking at the students with the gaze of a hunter, a terrifying beast seeking its prey. Such an aggressive, restless gaze had no place on this pristine campus.
Yarlin's fingertips rubbed against the rough bark of a nearby tree. Successfully attracting a rational madman is much easier than winning a battle.
As he said, it's a matter of mutual consent, and it all depends on who dies at whose hands in the end.
Dormitory 502.
Wen Shi: "But after mating, mermaids will..."
Beep beep beep——
There was only a busy tone on the other end of the phone.
Wen Shi finished the rest of the sentence in a daze: "...But mermaids do lay eggs after mating."
