Teacher Qi's coldness was somewhat deliberate, as he didn't want to have too much contact with others because he had done something he felt guilty about. However, Xie Tangyan was naturally a person who kept people at a distance. Now, when she looked at Wen, there was unspeakable worry in her eyes, and even the ice and snow in her eyes melted a little.
"It can be saved." In the corner, the old lady whispered, "The one who is with his beloved grandson now will not be left alone."
Although the two parties were separated by distance, Xie Tangyan had excellent hearing and nodded slightly to show her agreement.
The owner of this piece of land did not come out today, most likely he was with his younger brother.
Since no one cares, the situation shouldn't be too serious.
And from what we can see now, knowing to bring the dirty things here shows that there is nothing wrong with my brother's IQ.
Ah Sang, the second emperor, quickly forgot the name of the empire. His little hands tugged at the corner of Wen Shi's clothes, and he regained his long-lost stuttering: "Emperor, what is the name of the empire?"
"Usa." Wen Shi said solemnly: "Our slogan is, Ura!"
Ah Sang raised his hand and said, "Hurrah."
The old lady at the round table looked distressed: "How sad it will be when our beloved grandson recovers."
Now this scene is simply unbearable to watch.
The young man silently turned his eyes away. Not watching this scene was the greatest gentleness in his bones.
The system starts a ten-second countdown.
Wen Shi grabbed the seriously injured and still cursing fox fairy, his expression cold: "The curses of the weak are nothing but a waste of saliva. They have no value."
He had no idea that his behavior just now was even more terrifying than being cursed.
The old light bulb, the round table, the family... and those complicated gazes all disappeared from the field of vision one after another. The salty smell in the air returned. Wen Shi opened his eyes and saw the moss on the ceiling.
The group of students finally finished their discussion. They were completely immersed in their own world. The senior student wearing the fox fairy jade pendant suggested, "Why don't we give it a try?"
She didn't say what she wanted to try, but everyone knew it and looked at the booklet at the same time.
After a few seconds of silence, a boy broke the silence: "Mermaids represent disaster and bad luck. If we make a wish to the Mermaid King according to the ritual here and the school finds out, we will be expelled."
"If you don't tell me, who would have noticed? Do you think the school leaders are always monitoring the surveillance cameras 24 hours a day?"
The school's surveillance is almost useless because there are occasional students who commit suicide, and even the files are automatically deleted regularly.
"Make a wish to the Mermaid King?" The fox fairies thought that these people were crazy for provoking creatures like mermaids.
The students who had long been desperate for their dream of becoming famous had already begun to recite the records about the Mermaid King over and over again according to the requirements of the book.
The fox fairy looked at Wen Shi with greedy eyes that could not be concealed even after being seriously injured: "You won't stop it?" It said gently: "I can tell you how to stop it and save these young people."
The sound of reading aloud can be heard in the library late at night.
"It was a sunny afternoon when the great Mermaid King encountered suffering that he should not have encountered—"
The students' recitation became more and more orderly. There were very few students with myopia in Mingzhu College. Now their bright big eyes were almost glued to the pages of the books.
"...The sleeping Mermaid King cannot distinguish who are his own people. He will grant all his followers the most perfect voice and guide them to success."
It would be weird if he couldn't tell the difference. Wen Shi listened silently to the nonsense recorded in the book.
The fox fairy persisted, urging: "Enough faith might actually allow the Mermaid King to return. Then everyone living on this coast will die, including you."
Wen Shi just watched coldly.
The mission notes forbidding him from leaving immediately and requiring the students to complete the booklet were to facilitate the final outcome of the students being completely brainwashed. This was considered force majeure.
Just like him standing by the elevator now, holding the bleeding fox fairy, the student remained completely immersed in his reading, channeling his faith into the Mermaid King. The protagonist of "Mermaid Coast" is a mermaid, and the Mermaid King is the most crucial element of the S-rank dungeon's difficulty; the game definitely won't let it be easily skipped.
After reciting for a long time, the old students' chests heaved violently, and they tried hard to breathe in the damp and fishy air to nourish the statue of the Mermaid King that was gradually taking shape in their minds.
"Very good, you pick the students and I'll do the buying."
Wen Shi's mumbling to himself left the fox fairy baffled. He was surprisingly patient, standing still for a moment before saying, "They are just ordinary madmen."
The starting points are different. The school leaders want to treat students as a source of meat, so the players in the evening study session that day were directly alienated under the dual guidance of the singing. Tonight it was Teacher Ruan's personal behavior, and it was obvious that he wanted to keep the lives of these students as leeks for the time being.
Teacher Ruan specially selected these thirty students, proving that they should be relatively good potential leek seedlings.
"If it's just brainwashing to this extent, there's still hope."
When she heard that he wanted to save people, the fox fairy's heart was about to make a move, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Wen Shi: "It's not up to you."
The fox fairy curled her lips and said, "If I don't rely on me, then what should I rely on you?"
When only faith remained in the students' eyes, the system's prompt sounded:
"Special side quest - delivering the book has been completed."
"The mission reward has been sent to your backpack, please check it."
Wen Shi had been waiting for this moment, and finally a smile appeared on his lips. The mission was completed, which meant that he could start taking action.
"For these superficial cultists, only one step is needed to destroy their gods."
The moment the words fell, gray, brown, dirty white... countless threads of extremely fine silk in different colors drifted towards the thirty students. The students, who were only trying to breathe and read, had already become fascinated. Like the inevitable willow catkins on a summer day, the silk threads entered their airways. Some of them flashed a will-o'-the-wisp color the moment they touched the students' bodies, successfully merging into their trembling bodies.
[Bacteria] The range of infection each time is limited. Wen Shi launched it five times in a row before covering all the students.
This was the first time Wen Shi used this skill. [Fungus] had too many limitations. If used against players, it would be judged as cannibalism if not handled with care. It couldn't withstand monsters either. However, in this dungeon, it was the only choice to destroy the gods.
A mermaid king who is said to be able to grant wishes cannot even protect the bodies of his students. On the premise of not eating raw mermaid flesh, how long can this utilitarian belief last?
"So don't talk about making people's wishes come true so easily," Wen Shi looked at the fox fairy, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Understand?"
A germ maker who is as cruel as spiritual polluter under the guise of salvation is now full of truths. The fox fairy fell silent.
The effect of the [bacteria] was very obvious. The students who were still excited began to sweat gradually, some vomited directly, and some even had their voices turned into hoarse voices in a second.
The senior student wearing the fox fairy jade pendant was almost frightened awake in an instant.
"voice!"
"I also..."
Those whose conditions are slightly more serious cannot even stand steadily.
A good voice and a good figure are as important as life to these students. They saw panic on each other's faces, and the whole people seemed to have lost their souls.
Wen Shi faced the fox fairy with a smile even more terrifying than a devil: "It's your turn. This time you don't need to make a wish, you just need to..."
He half bent over and said something quickly.
The fox fairy was stunned for a moment: "That's it? You're willing to let me go?"
Wen Shi straightened up and nodded slightly.
"I hope you keep your word."
In order to gain freedom, the fox fairy with only one tail left finally rushed forward.
Rest area.
The senior student wearing the fox fairy jade pendant went crazy and smashed her laptop on the ground to vent her anger.
The lights in the entire rest area suddenly flickered. The senior student who had angrily smashed the computer stopped her hand in mid-air. When the lights came on again, a scarred fox fairy figure appeared under the scarlet light.
The half of its face that was bleeding made it look even more hideous, and the students who were already feverish and weak in the legs couldn't run away even if they wanted to.
I closed my eyes in despair for three seconds, and nothing happened.
When it opened its eyes again, the fox still kept a distance from the students, and always maintained a superior attitude in front of them.
"For the sake of your worship," the fox fairy stared coldly at the senior sister and began to speak nonsense just like the words in the book, "I helped you to avoid disaster."
The senior student clutched the jade pendant around her neck in disbelief. After digesting the information contained in its words, her first reaction was not fear, but rather a life-saving straw. She rushed to the fox fairy and knelt down, "Master Fox Fairy, please save my throat. I'm willing to do anything!"
The hoarse throat was filled with urgency, and the others were the same. Some people even shouted out in desperation that they were willing to sacrifice their souls.
The fox fairy was very tempted and was about to let them make a wish, but when she noticed that Wen Shi not far away had a sword in his hand and was looking at them with a smile, she backed off.
Its sixth sense is extremely strong, otherwise it would not have wanted to refuse Wen Shi's simple request of being his guest.
The fox fairy instinctively knew that this sword was a 100% sure kill, so he paused and spoke honestly:
"You became like this because you believed in something you shouldn't have believed."
The students looked pale.
Mermaids are a very sensitive topic. They had not been admiring the Mermaid King for more than a minute when their bodies began to show signs of problems, which was enough to support the fox fairy's statement.
The scarlet color in the light grew stronger, intertwining with the fox's flowing blood. It uttered a cold word: "Uzzahin, King Asa! It is Asa, not the mermaid, that you should trust."
student:?
There was a sound of something heavy falling at the edge of the stairs on the third floor. However, the old students who had experienced ups and downs in a short period of time were all focused on the question of who Asa was.
The fox fairy raised its claws, and a piece of paper floated in the air. It was the promotional draft written by Wen Shi.
"King Asa can help you regain your health."
This is an alternative form of oppression that replaces concepts.
The students initially wanted a concert that would amaze everyone, but now it has become a desire to heal their bodies. However, restoring health is not completely empty talk. Wen Shi did help them break through spiritual pollution, but his methods made it impossible to tell whether he was a perpetrator or a savior.
When being cautious, when students were viewing the promotional materials, they confirmed with the game:
"Can their power of faith be attributed to me? Do I need to appear alone to explain the reincarnation issue?" Wen Shi was very cautious. "Or should I use my real name?"
[unnecessary.]
The sound of the instrument, which is usually very cold, was even more ruthless today, as if telling him to get away.
At the stairs.
Two figures were standing there, one indifferent, the other stern.
These two people were Ji Yuanzhi and Jian Qingrong. According to Wen Shi's previous hint, they came to the library to hunt tonight.
During the process of hunting down low-quality mermaids, Ji Yuanzhi had also commended Wen Shi's thorough approach. No matter what mission was being conducted in the library, the mermaids that regularly wandered around would become obstacles to escape. Now that they were doing the cleaning, this would eliminate any future trouble, allowing the other party to fully focus on the mission itself.
Ji Yuanzhi was also a safety bolt that Wen Shi left for himself.
The special side quests were too risky, and when pushed to the limit, he had no choice but to abandon them to save his life. Wen Shi wore a pendant containing Jian Qingrong's heart blood, which could be used to locate him at any time.
After the hunt was completed, Jian Qingrong successfully found the place and happened to see Wen Shi using his skills when he arrived.
While carrying the monster, he released mycelium. At that moment, Wen Shi seemed to have truly transformed into an evil old god. That arrogant and ruthless look lasted for fifteen seconds, and then the fox fairy appeared.
After hearing the six words spoken by the fox fairy, Jian Qingrong's hand slipped and the dead low-quality mermaid fell to the ground.
Wen Shi turned around when he heard the voice, and his eyes fell directly on the ugly mermaid corpse.
He walked slowly over and squatted down. In front of Jian Qingrong and Ji Yuanzhi, he leisurely cut open the fish's belly, and then spent two points to buy a wooden sign and non-fading cinnabar.
Wen Shi wrote the three big words "King Asa" on a wooden tablet with cinnabar, and cruelly stuffed it into the belly of a fish that was bleeding purple-black blood, as if the fish was providing a tablet in its belly. The scene was very cruel and weird.
After doing all this, Wen Shi slowly wiped the blood from his slender fingertips, combining rationality, elegance and lunacy in one.
"How?" Wen Shi asked.
Ji Yuanzhi: "…"
The fox howling by the campfire and the book hidden in the fish's belly are enough to make you understand the whole story.
Jian Qingrong often carried some strange things with him, and took out a white handkerchief to help Wen Shi wipe the blood.
Wen Shi continued, "These students that Teacher Ruan has chosen have almost been selected to perform at the concert, which shows that they are quite talented. However, rather than looking for outstanding talents, it seems more like they want to use the concert to stir up trouble."
It is a lively and grand event, and the spectators will surely be the most prestigious people in the Mermaid Coast. Turning the event into a memorial day should be in line with the mermaids' pursuit of bloody and violent aesthetics.
"The boss always appears last. If the Mermaid King returns now, the players will be finished," Wen Shi said, his gaze fixed on the students still reading the brochure. "First, they'll use the music program to spread spiritual pollution, and then the Mermaid King will make a grand appearance. Players who thought they could survive until the concert will be annihilated."
"...The game and the dungeon have the same difficulty, both are S. This is the planning that made it possible."
Ji Yuanzhi subconsciously looked out the window to make sure that the game that was accused of having sadistic tendencies had not caused any damage.
He adjusted the frame of his glasses, and reaffirmed that Pei Wenwei had very strong logical ability. He even felt that the opponent's skills were interfered with by some factors, which was why they were so complicated. Otherwise, with Pei Wenwei's ability, he should be matched with a skill like [Information Omniscient].
"But it doesn't matter," Wen Shi laughed softly, "I'll take action at the concert."
The glory of Uzzah will set sail again.
Ji Yuanzhi: "…"
