Chapter 43
Xiang Jiangming did not leave, but he still kept his back to the fish tank and carefully held Zhou Ran's hand.
The girl with a broken body looked at their tightly clenched hands and couldn't help but show a sad expression. Zhou Ran thought that this should be her sister, the girl who first spoke out the gods and rituals in the middle of the night.
Zhou Ran: "Little sister."
The girl shrank and showed fear, but Zhou Ran's gentle appearance was not aggressive at all. The girl shrank for a moment and then slowly relaxed.
Zhou Ran continued to ask, "What's your name? Why are you here?"
The girl moved in the water, moving her body with difficulty, and the translucent red liquid swayed. She opened her mouth and the voice came from the fish tank: "My name is Belin, my sister is Bossa, we are locked up here by the tribe."
Little Belin did not show a repulsive expression, but was just a little scared.
Zhou Ran: "It's convenient to tell me, is it happening in your clan?"
Beilin nodded softly, and then said, "I heard from the elders of the clan that the fishman tribe was once the overlord of the sea and has always been a high-ranking clan. However, the nearest sea area was invaded by sirens, the fishman was ruthlessly murdered, and the fishman tribe slowly declined. The elders of the clan were worried that the location would be shaken and the sea would be in danger. They made a lot of efforts to do this, but none of them were of use."
"Later, a great wizard who claimed to be a god came, saying that it could help us and hold a ceremony for us to cultivate the most powerful fishman to fight the sirens, but the conditions were to hand over a thousand beating hearts of humans and the hearts of the elders in the clan as sacrifices to give it."
When Zhou Ran heard this, she thought of the hearts in the boxes. Her fingertips trembled slightly. Xiang Jiangming felt Zhou Ran's tiny trembling, and immediately clenched her hand tightly, rubbing the back of her hand with her fingertips.
Belin continued: "My sister and I are the daughters of the patriarch. We were selected to accept the ceremony. I was very proud when I heard this news. I wanted to fight for my tribe, but my sister came back that day and she told me that the ceremony would throw us into a huge fish tank, and then one of us would die and be eaten by the other, and the fishman would have the power to shock the sea."
Zhou Ran looked at her legs and finally asked her all-time doubts: "Didn't you fishman when you were born? "
When Belin heard this, he shook his head gently. The minced meat spun in the water and finally floated on the surface of the water, looking bloody and weird.
But the little girl is really very weak, her fragile appearance makes people feel distressed. She only heard her angry and said, "No, we are all born in human form, and we don't grow fish tails until we are adults, so we all live on the boat and only enter the sea when we are adults."
Zhou Ran frowned: "Who is a wizard?"
Belin whispered: "Shh--The wizard is not a human, it is a sea monster. I saw it, I saw it. It ate the elder's head and the hearts of many humans. My sister said that the real gods would not do such things. It would turn us into monsters and destroy the fishman race."
Zhou Ran: "Didn't you resist?"
Belin sighed and said sadly: "Of course we have to resist, we escaped. We made a canoe and wanted to hide further from the sea, but as soon as we went, the sea monster appeared and it drove us back, and my sister almost died on the sea."
Sure enough, that little canoe was the wrong answer!
If they did not come to the third floor and blindly believed that the canoe was a prop to leave this copy, they might have been buried in the sea now!
Zhou Ran's brow did not let go: "Is there no other way to leave?"
Belin silent, and replied in a very low voice: "Some."
Zhou Ran gently pursed her lips and asked her in a tone that she would not scare the little girl, "What is it?"
Belin: "I don't know if I should say it, because..."
Belin spoke intermittently, and the weak seemed to die at any time. Zhou Ran was patient, but she was very glad that Yu Guang went out early. Otherwise, according to Yu Guang's character, the irritable brother, he might have smashed the fish tank directly.
But Yu Guang is also very careful.
He knew that the girl in the fish tank was naked, so he dragged Lu Zefa out and only let the two girls stay in the house to ask for clues. Because such clues are very precious, he gave up the clues just because of the two NPC girls. This person must be intrinsically not bad, but it may also be that he has other trump cards.
Zhou Ran clenched her fists gently: "Why, what are your concerns?"
Little Belin cried in a low voice: "Sister, she doesn't want me to tell you that she wants to kill you because when we need you, you didn't lend a helping hand. At that time, you didn't believe our words. We really found a way to save our tribe! But you don't believe our words!"
Zhou Ran was silent.
If this is not a game, she would definitely stop and stop asking. After all, it is very impolite to uncover other people's scars. But now if you don't do anything, everyone will be killed and no one can leave here alive.
Zhou Ran: "Say it again, we will believe you this time."
Belin looked at Zhou Ran, her lips trembled. She was clearly crying, and her green pupils were distracted and gathered again, but she was in a bloody water and could not see the tears in it.
Belin: "You really believe me?"
Zhou Ran nodded and said sincerely: "Yes, no matter what you say, I will do what you say."
Belin glanced at her deeply, then moved her lips.
[System message: The main plot of the copy ‘Black Sea Ancient Ship’ was unlocked successfully. The audience can purchase the full plot to watch by themselves. The currency used to purchase will be recharged into player 1752, Xiao Ming, the light is the light and the light account]
[Frozen Fish Baby: One krypton every day, the task is achieved!
Orchid: Krypton, keep claws
Little Monster: Wow, I went to read this story. Those bystanders are too much. They also have sons and daughters. If their sons and daughters are thrown in, they might cry!
Sky: It’s not up to you, aren’t everyone like this? The two sisters are so pitiful. If it were me, I would kill them all!
Xiaoxing: Have anyone seen the way behind you? The method the two sisters said is indeed a bit difficult to accept! Everyone is reborn if they die together? Who can accept this!
User 7855855: I saw that the method is to perform the ritual together by the entire fish and human race, and everyone dies together and is reborn.
User 251458: It’s hard to accept? This method is indeed a bit difficult to accept, right, but look at how the tribesmen told the two girls after hearing this method. They kept saying to the girls, "The tribe members have raised you, you must make sacrifices for the tribe members." When it’s their turn, are they all pretending to be dead and mute?!
Lulu: Don’t quarrel upstairs, the clan members are indeed too much! Light is Light and who is Mang? Is it Yu Guang? Isn’t he outside? Why is there any business with him?
There is no supermarket: I came from the live broadcast room next door. Yu Guang pressed the eavesdropping props on the fish tank. As expected, Jiang is still so hot. He seems to be quite a bit of a badass...
Luke: Going back upstairs, players of tenth tiers cannot have no backup. Yu Guang’s personality is no problem, there is no need to be biased upstairs
People who need to work hard: Yu Guang is also for his sister, he is quite pitiful. But I remember that when I saw Yu Guang’s live broadcast room before, he seemed to be... a girl?]
The faint sound of water came, and Zhou Ran stood outside the fish tank and raised her head slightly. She leaned forward, approached the fish tank, and listened carefully to the girl's next words.
This action expresses a great degree of trust, but it is also a very dangerous move for Zhou Ran. After all, their players cannot fully trust NPCs. Although a few NPCs are kind and cute, most NPCs still hope that all players will die.
But at this moment, Xiang Jiangming stood aside, and Zhou Ran's heart was inexplicably stable.
Belin said: "We met a real god."
Zhou Ran nodded, and his face was calm while listening. But at this time, Yu Guang, who was outside the room, was not at all calm. He turned his ears anxiously and pulled his hair from time to time, for fear that he would miss the key prompt. Lu Zefa asked him what was wrong, but Yu Guang irritably grabbed his neck and blocked his mouth.
Lu Zefa was a little unhappy and frowned and pushed Yu Guang's chest.
But the next second, he was stunned, and a soft numbness came through his fingertips. He raised his head and looked at Yu Guang's chin, and widened his eyes incredibly. Yu Guang narrowed his eyes at him and warned: "If you say it, don't think about seeing the sun tomorrow."
Lu Zefa covered his mouth and his pupils were quake.
In the room, Belin floated for a few moments and said with great difficulty: "That is the real god. As long as you see him, you will believe that he is a real god. He told me and my sister that this is the test of the gods on the fisherman race. If the fisherman race can unite and face death together, they will be stronger and continue to maintain order in the sea as the leader."
Zhou Ran: "What should I do?"
Belin: "Break the fish tank and fill the entire ship with water. Everyone will wake up and the fishman will cheer up again."
Destroy the group? Rebirth again?
Zhou Ran was completely silent this time.
After saying that, Belin closed her eyes, moved her lips gently, and said, "Dear, please don't let my sister down and I down for the second time." After saying that, there was no sound and continued to sleep.
Zhou Ran shouted softly twice, but Belin had no sign of waking up, and her body floated and sank in the water.
There was no more information, Xiang Jiangming pulled Zhou Ran last time, and the two of them walked out of the room bypassing the scales.
Outside the door, Lu Zefa stood on the steps with a blank look on his face, far away from Yu Guang. His eyes were empty and his expression felt like a monk. Xiang Jiangming smiled and teased him with the first time he saw him like this, saying, "Why are you stupid?" He also scratched his chin with his hand.
This was already a pure seduction, but even so, Lu Zefa's eyes were still confused.
Yu Guangze stood aside with his arms held and coughed: "What did that girl say?"
Zhou Ran chuckled: "Don't you know everything?"
All three people can see the system news of unlocking the plot. Yu Guang's acting is a bit unnecessary now. He seems to be a little out of shape, and he has made many low-level mistakes one after another. Now he is just lazy to pretend. His slender fingers knock on the railings of the stairs and said, "You are smart."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ran glanced at him.
Actually, Zhou Ran didn't know if he had eavesdropped, but Zhou Ran knew that he had been a player who had been through ten stages. Although he had a style, he would not give up on such clues so easily, so he simply defrauded him, but he didn't expect that he would be the right one.
