Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 577 [Chapter of the Game of Death] 27: The Mermaid in the Sewer ([-])

In order to confirm Bagley's death, the Sun Knight put the sword into the scabbard on the back, and took out a shimmering bell from his waist with his left hand. While the bell was shaking, a brilliant golden thunder condensed in his right hand.

In the blink of an eye, the thunder light has gathered into a thunder gun that keeps jumping, and where the thunder light exists, the air is "humming".

The Sun Knight twisted his waist, threw the thunder gun forward, and pierced straight into Bagley's deformed body.

Most of his body was blasted and shattered, his head was blown away and fell into the quagmire without a trace.

Seeing that his head was gone, Chen Yan felt very anxious, and he could hardly "feel" the existence of Bagley's consciousness, so he said:

"Keep your head, I'm still useful!"

The Sun Knight retracted the bell to his waist, drew out his long sword, and acted vigilantly.

Holding a big black sword, Jack Baldo looked curiously at a large pile of Chen Yan not far away:

"what happened to you?"

Chen Yan, who was closest to him, turned his head and said a little nervously:
"I don't know what's going on with me now...how long can you stay?"

Jack Baldo replied:
"Until the power of a summon is completely dissipated... about 3 minutes?"

Chen Yan nodded:

"follow me."

Chen Yan brought Jack Baldo and the unknown Sun Knight to the location where Bagley's head fell.

Jack Baldor stabbed the murky water with his sword, but two swords pierced something hard.

He raised the sword body, and Chen Yan saw Bagley's deformed head, and the scapula-like bone tissue connected under the head.

Now, Bagley's head looks extremely miserable. He was stabbed into the back of the head with a sword by Jack Baldo, and even a small half of his face was pierced, leaving no trace of life at all.

"What has it become now?"

Chen Yan was full of anticipation:

"I saw just now that its body seems to have turned into something like a mermaid?"

The Sun Knight on the side made a dull voice from the helmet:
"To be precise, it is the [Bound Spirit] after suffering the curse. The curse seems to come from something contaminated with mermaid breath. This person... I don't know where he came into contact with this kind of thing. He is bound by the curse. Here, the physical body has already disappeared, and only the remnant body composed of the soul continues to exist in the world."

Chen Yan heard this voice and said in surprise:

"Solar!"

He had guessed that Solal was also a Sun Knight before, but he didn't know that Solal was so fierce!

Moreover, Solar told Jack Baldo about his summoning spell, which Chen Yan didn't know about. It seemed that he trusted Jack Baldo more than himself.

Chen Yan thought to himself, when Jack Baldo was pushed by the water to the shore of the smoky lake, because the corpse was too serious, after he recovered, he no longer had the memory of the past.

Unlike Jack Baldo, Solal obviously has some previous memories, and those memories should have been quite long ago... Solal must be quite old, but because he is an undead person, it does not appear to be very old. old.

While Chen Yan was thinking wildly due to excitement, Solal continued to speculate:

"This is rather strange. I remember that mermaids have become very rare after the industrialization of the empire. They are only found in some warm waters in the southern part of the empire. How could they appear in a cold place like Yanan?"

"Also, its body... Even if it gets out of control and rots, it won't become so ugly... Mermaids are fierce, but they are still quite beautiful, even after they are rotten. "

Solal stroked his chin, thinking:
"I guess it's like this:

When it was human, it came to this place, contaminated with something that carried the mermaid curse.

His own mental state must be very poor, and his physical condition is not very good in all aspects, so he was attracted by the curse, entangled in the curse, and deformed by the curse, turning into a mermaid-like appearance.

The curse further caused his corruption, and under the dual effects of distortion and corruption, he became like this ghost. "

Solal looked into the depths of the water:
"The thing that carries the curse of the mermaid may be in this water."

After he finished speaking, he put on the fiery red gloves again, rubbed out a warm fire, and illuminated the surrounding environment.

There is nothing unusual in the field of vision, but the waters further away are getting deeper and deeper. If there is no raft, it is impossible to continue exploring.

Chen Yan looked at Jack Baldo's head stuck in the sword, and said seriously:
"I need [Mermaid Mouthpiece] as an item for promotion."

Solar looked at him, but he couldn't see the shocked look in Solar's bucket helmet.

"This... I suggest you think about it carefully. Although it has turned into something like a mermaid due to the curse, it can barely be called a mermaid, but it is cursed, and its mouthpiece is also Cursed."

"Unless you can purify this curse, don't try it, because once the promotion is completed, you will also be infected with this curse, and you may end up with it."

Oh shit……

Chen Yan was really not reconciled, he was lucky enough to meet a mermaid, but he couldn't use [Mermaid's Mouthpiece] to get promoted, which really raised his blood pressure.

There is not much room for him to maneuver. Now he has no idea what is going on with his situation, and he doesn't know how long it can last.

If this state can be maintained all the time, it would be better to die than to live.

But what if this state ends?

If this state is over, and countless him return to the body that has already been corrupted, there will be no room for maneuver, and he will face the complete corruption head-on.

After a moment of silence, Chen Yan made a decision.

"I need you to stay here for me until your spirits return - I need 3 minutes."

In fact, if it goes well, an instant is enough.

But if it doesn't go well...Jack Baldo and Solal should go back sooner, eat and drink, and treat me as if I died in prison.

He looked at the ugly head of the merman.

"I'm going to try to cleanse the curse."

Looking at the determination in his eyes, Jack Baldo understood his intentions and didn't say much, just patted himself on the chest.

Chen Yan smiled at him, then looked at Solar again.

Solal just said: "It's very dangerous, be careful on the road."

Chen Yan nodded solemnly to him, then touched the mermaid's head to activate the synaesthesia.

The next moment, a dense yellow mist appeared in front of his eyes, covering his entire field of vision in the blink of an eye.

Huang Wu came and went quickly, and after a blink of an eye, another scene appeared in front of Chen Yan——

The dark underground is wet and cold, but there is no filth. The waters under the stalactites are clean, and there are groups of transparent small fish swimming in the bottom of the water.

This water area is not shallow, but it is not deep either. The depth of about two meters is enough to accommodate the bodies of most underground aquatic organisms.

A certain one-meter-long black shadow appeared in the field of vision. It was covered with dark blue scales and held a beautiful fish tail. It clearly resembled a "human arm", but its brain and facial features were not completely the same. The appearance of human beings, but only "similarity".

This thing is probably in the shape of a mermaid, but it is much rougher than the "mermaid" Chen Yan imagined.

Chen Yan manipulated his field of vision, and only when he got close did he really see that this kind of mermaid looks rough, but with its scales and fish tail, it possesses an indescribable "rough beauty", just like a mermaid carved by nature. perfect creation.

Chen Yan thought of a word:

'Asians. '

Suddenly in his heart:
'This kind of mermaid should be some kind of highly animalized demihuman race. '

'Speaking of which, [Mermaid] should be a kind of demihuman in itself. '

'It's just...the mermaids themselves live in warm waters, but the mermaids in front of me live in the cold waters underground in Yanan City. This is probably because they have undergone adaptive evolution in order to survive. '

'This kind of evolution...It is estimated that it will take many, many years, because the living environment of the mermaid itself is warm, and the city of Yanan...I guess there was no city of Yanan at that time-in the era when mermaids could survive and the waters were still warm, These mermaids must not look like this. '

'Perhaps at that time, the planet's crust was not what it is now. The location of Yanan City is near the equator of the planet, so the waters are still warm and suitable for the survival of mermaids. '

"Many years later, with vicissitudes and changes in the earth's crust, Yanan City turned from warm to cold. Some mermaids left here and went to the south, and some stayed behind. Adaptive evolution occurred, and they became the blue scales now. appearance. '

Chen Yan is not just guessing, but also "feeling" a lot from the pictures produced by the synaesthesia in front of him - waters, stalactites, scales, fish, underwater soil and fish bones...

Under the unlimited opening of "feeling", a small stone also contains a huge amount of knowledge.

Chen Yan allowed his "feeling" to stretch freely, so everything seemed to be telling him about his past, which was the unreserved confession of the whole world, and it was an absolutely objective fact.

Chen Yan was immersed in this state of "listening", and it took some time before she slowly regained her composure.

Concentrating again, a bunch of mermaids had gathered in front of him at some point, Chen Yan "felt" the "panic" emotion from them, so he looked in the direction they were looking at——

The stalactites on the top of the rock wall are vibrating violently, and the sound of the engine is like the howling of a monster.

The next moment, a huge drill pierced the top of the rock wall vertically from above, and the destroyed stalactite fragments crushed countless fish and shrimp to death.

The mermaids fled one after another, but casualties still inevitably occurred.
