Chapter 15 Twins (2)
Sometimes, not only Duan Sen felt helpless, but Xiang Liangyu also felt helpless.
She couldn't tell whether the mermaid in front of her was Quan Shengyan or not. From the appearance, they were exactly the same; but from the tail, they had nothing to do with each other.
The mermaid immersed in the culture tank was covered with dark green liquid. At first glance, it looked like a golden fish tail. But in fact, if you look at it again, you will find that the color of its tail is actually platinum.
Obviously, this color is noble and holy, a color that is mysterious and cannot be looked at directly, and it is untouchable like moonlight.
And now, Xiang Liangyu and him were separated by a thick layer of glass, with their hands pressed against each other.
"What a beautiful mermaid." Jiang Yu exclaimed. She walked to Xiang Liangyu and turned her head to look at her. "What a pity, she is unconscious."
Xiang Liangyu didn't understand what she meant by this sentence. Just as she was about to ask, Jiang Yu spoke before her: "The butterfly brooch on your clothes is very beautiful."
Xiang Liangyu was happy to discuss the beauty of jewelry with her. After a few words, Jiang Yu tilted her head and fixed her eyes on her brooch, as if she was looking at something else through the brooch: "I have never seen such a beautiful brooch. I have never seen such a shiny brooch since I was a child."
It shines so brightly that it seems like it will fly away in the next second.
Xiang Liangyu stared at the brooch and thought about it. It seemed to be a gift from the natives. However, she did not like butterflies and it did not match her outfit. Seeing that Jiang Yu was eager to get his eyes on it, Xiang Liangyu did not think much about it. She took off the butterfly brooch and pinned it on Jiang Yu's chest, saying, "Then I'll give it to you."
Jiang Yu curved his eyes and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you."
Xiang Liangyu was about to say something when he was interrupted by an exclamation from the side.
"Oh my god! I'm so scared!" Qu Liuyun was still in shock and said, "Duan Sen, next time we see these things, can you let us be prepared?"
Duan Sen took a deep breath, obviously still not recovered from the shock: "Aren't you known as the father of gods and ghosts? How could you be scared?"
Qu Liuyun: "Is he a ghost? He is obviously a human being. Do you know that humans can scare people to death?"
Miao Zhen looked around thoughtfully, and finally his eyes stopped at the ceiling. He couldn't help but murmured softly: "How strange."
Chu Li pulled out his dagger and looked around for places to step on: "Let's get him down first."
"No, no, no, dear guest, please do not attempt to untie the criminal's shackles. This is the punishment he must endure."
A dull voice with a hint of laughter suddenly sounded, and everyone withdrew their gaze from the rooftop and looked towards the source of the voice.
The sound of footsteps echoed in this medium-sized basement. An old man with a hunched back walked out from behind the culture tank in front.
He was wearing a worn-out protective suit, covered with dust and dried blood. His face was covered by a large protective mask, and the exposed yellow skin was reflected green by the dark green liquid in the surrounding culture tanks.
The man smiled with his eyes curved, and scanned everyone in an instant, and his gaze seemed to linger on Jiang Yu for a few moments.
Chu Li asked: "Criminal? What do you mean?"
The old man's voice was blocked by the protective shield, but the unclear sound made people break out in a cold sweat.
"Betraying the island, ignoring the rules, going against the rules, trying to touch the owner of the island and even the ocean! This is a criminal."
His high-pitched voice suddenly stopped, and then he spoke calmly with an ambiguous tone: "Of course, his crime was trying to release another criminal."
The old man pointed to the culture tank next to Xiang Liangyu and said, "This is the first and last twin mermaid in the world. The platinum fish tail symbolizes that he is the supreme overlord of the ocean."
“Save…save me…”
The old man became impatient after being interrupted. He disappeared into the darkness, and his voice kept coming: "Okay, okay, I know you are very excited, but it will take a long time before it is your turn. Don't be so impatient."
"Oh, by the way," the basement was suddenly completely bright, and there was another man standing next to the old man in front of a door, "Maybe he is your partner."
Chu Li's pupils suddenly shrank, and she shouted excitedly: "Xiang Hou!"
The tall and thin man rolled his eyes back, but the old man held his back and pushed him forward, saying impatiently: "Hurry up and get together with your companions, and don't call me until dawn."
Chu Li rushed to Xiang Hou and said hurriedly: "Why are you here? What's going on? Why would Xiang Qian..."
Xiang Hou patted the back of Chu Li's hand soothingly and walked in the direction she came from: "After my brother and I selected our team, we came to the island and were received by the natives of the guesthouse, just like you."
"But our room is here. My brother was dissected, separated, and sewed up by them. I don't know what they were going to do, but I know that this is definitely not as simple as the game setting. "
"This is not a game at all. We are all experimental subjects without dignity here! If we die, we are really dead. Brother! They tortured him to death!"
Xiang Hou was very emotional. He held Chu Li's arm tightly, his eyes filled with fear and collapse.
Seeing that Chu Li didn't react much, Xiang Hou turned to Miao Zhen behind her and said, "Leave here! Take me away from here!"
"We have to escape from this place!"
“Bang, bang, bang—!”
The deafening sound of banging on the door made Xiang Hou suddenly silent. The old man's voice came from behind the old door: "Be quiet."
Xiang Liangyu looked at Xiang Hou's extremely devastated eyes and raised his eyes again. The faceless man hanging on the roof was still making a weak cry for help.
But now, no one cares.
"Hey," Jiang Yu patted Xiang Liangyu and motioned her to look behind her, "He seems to be awake."
Xiang Liangyu turned his head subconsciously, but was caught off guard and met the eyes of the face that had approached.
The dark eyes were staring coldly at Xiang Liangyu through the thick glass. He slightly opened his thin lips and a small string of foam emerged from the corner of his mouth.
Xiang Liangyu was slightly startled and couldn't help but take a step back.
His lips moved three times in total, and the combined lip language was:
Xiang Liangyu.
"Get away from him!" Xiang Liangyu was pulled backwards by a strong force. She didn't have time to react at all. She thought she would fall to the ground in a mess, but unexpectedly fell into a soft embrace.
Chu Li helped her up and said unhappily, "Don't get in the way."
Xiang Hou was very excited: "He is the devil! He is the devil!"
Miao Zhen: “Why do you say that?”
Xiang Hou held his head in his hands, looking crazy: "The storm, the cruise ship, the black color, it's all because of him! I want to leave, take me away, please, take me away!"
Qu Liuyun clicked his tongue impatiently: "We were found and thrown here by the natives. Don't tell us. We don't even know how we got in. How can we take you out?"
Xiang Hou's shaking body gradually stabilized. He put down his hands that were tightly holding his head, lowered his head , and stretched out his hands tremblingly, pointing to the culture tank closest to him: "The basement is connected to the ocean. As long as we enter these culture tanks, we can be put into the ocean! We can leave this place!"
When he said the last sentence, his voice was much lower.
Jiang Yu suddenly asked: "Will there be enough oxygen for me to float to the surface after I go in?"
Xiang Hou stared at Jiang Yu, then smiled: "Don't worry about that. I found a simple oxygen cylinder in this laboratory, which is enough for us to see the light of day again!"
Chu Li walked up to Miao Zhen and exchanged glances with him.
Qu Liuyun had been extremely impatient from the beginning. After hearing this, he snorted coldly: "Then this guest house is quite considerate. They prepared oxygen tanks in the basement. They are afraid that we can't leave."
Everyone noticed something was wrong.
Xiang Hou became excited again: "Because this is what my brother found in the guest house at the risk of his life!"
He took out the oxygen cylinders that were piled behind the equipment and gave one to each person. When it came to Jiang Yu, there were not enough oxygen cylinders.
Jiang Yu folded his arms and looked at him quietly.
Xiang Hou looked at the last oxygen cylinder in his hand, which belonged to him. He looked at Jiang Yu with fear in his eyes, and the meaning was self-evident.
Jiang Yu agreed with him: "It doesn't matter."
Xiang Hou shook his hand gratefully, then impatiently put on his oxygen mask and goggles. Seeing that no one was moving, he paused for a moment: "What are you doing? Don't you want to leave here?"
Qu Liuyun grinned and laughed. He walked up to Xiang Hou, put his hand on his shoulder, and said earnestly: "Brother, you are right. You and I are in the same culture tank."
After he finished speaking, he had already put on all his equipment and raised his chin at Xiang Hou as if waiting for his instructions.
Xiang Hou hesitated for a moment: "Each culture tank can only accommodate one person. If two people go in together, they may get stuck in the passage."
Qu Liuyun seemed a little regretful, but he still put his hand on his shoulder and patted him from time to time: "Although we really want to leave, look at yourself, the words you said and the things you did are really too flawed."
“Ka——”
The sound of the culture tank opening and an indescribable smell filled every corner of the laboratory. Qu Liuyun quickly picked up Xiang Hou, stepped on the wooden chair that Jiang Yu had placed, and threw him in before he could react.
Xiang Hou screamed and lay on the edge, holding Qu Liuyun tightly with both hands: "No, no! Let me out! Let me out!"
