Live Escape: Chased by a Neurotic Boss, Crying for Affection

Jiang Liyue, on the day she became a shadow queen, was pulled into an infinite-loop novel and turned into the fake heiress who starved to death because she refused to enter the game. Good news: she...

Chapter 220 Eyes

Chapter 220 Eyes

The lights in the aquarium were extremely dim, with only a faint blue glow coming through the surrounding aquariums.

Jiang Liyue felt a bit damp and cold, perhaps because of the water all around.

It seemed as if the air was filled with the fishy, ​​pungent smell of seafood.

Jiang Liyue first saw the aquarium in the shallow sea area, which contained some coral reefs and various small fish and shrimp.

At first glance, it appears to be a harmonious ocean scene.

Jiang Liyue leaned closer to the glass wall of the aquarium and looked inside, suddenly meeting a pair of dark eyes in the center of the coral reef.

Upon closer inspection, she realized that the colorful things were not coral reefs at all.

Instead, it refers to the human body's torso, arms, and brain.

It was probably pieced together randomly from parts of many corpses.

It was arranged in a crooked and twisted position. Because it had been soaking in the water for a long time, its skin was huge and rotten, covered with algae of various colors. At first glance, it would look like a coral reef.

And those small fish and shrimp that appear to be floating in the middle of the "coral reef" are actually baring their dark fangs and gnawing on the flesh and blood of those bodies.

No wonder she always felt that the blue seawater had a reddish tinge.

Jiang Liyue looked at the information displayed in front of the aquarium.

【Human Coral Reef】: Cute little fish like to live among human coral reefs filled with decaying flesh and blood. The growth of these reefs is not difficult; they only need to occasionally hunt human bodies or limbs.

Note: These food-loving little fish will directly hunt and build their own human coral reefs.

[Damn it, even fish in this dungeon are eaten by humans, but I'm the only one who can't get any?]

I never thought I'd be envious of fish one day TT

[I must say, this coral reef is actually quite beautiful; whoever came up with this idea is a genius.]

Just as Jiang Liyue was reading the words on the description, a group of thumb-sized fish suddenly appeared out of nowhere, densely packed and seemingly about to take over the entire "coral reef".

In no time, like a locust swarm passing through, the "coral reef" was reduced to bare bones, its jagged appearance more closely resembling a real coral reef.

Looking at the fish's sharp teeth, Jiang Liyue had no doubt that if a living person fell into the water...

It will also turn into a bare skeleton in a few minutes.

Jiang Liyue kept in mind the rule of not staring, and only glanced at the situation in the aquarium before looking away.

Just then, footsteps sounded behind them again.

Jiang Liyue turned her head and found that it was indeed Scarface and his two companions.

Scarface spoke first, his voice rough: "Hey girl, what a coincidence to run into you again."

Jiang Liyue didn't speak, but a smile played at the corners of her eyes.

There are only two areas you can visit in the aquarium. They clearly saw her leave, yet they still managed to say it was "what a coincidence."

That's really interesting.

Jiang Liyue had heard of players who made a living by robbing other players, but this was her first time encountering one, so she couldn't help but be a little curious.

If you can rob other players, you must be pretty strong, right?

I wonder if I can withstand one of her kicks.

Scarface assumed Jiang Liyue's silence had alerted her, so to be on the safe side, he remained silent.

Instead, he and the fat man and the thin man pretended to admire the fish in the aquarium.

Just then, the fish in the aquarium seemed to have discovered something and all gathered on the glass wall.

They swarmed close together, making the viewer feel uneasy.

"Damn, that scared the hell out of me!" The fat man took several steps back.

The skinny man stood calmly in place, turning to mock him, "What's there to be afraid of? Even if they are monsters, they're in the water, they can't catch us..."

As he spoke, he suddenly noticed the fat man's increasingly terrified expression.

Just as he sensed something was wrong, a black, slimy thing fell from the sky and enveloped his head.

The skinny man struggled desperately, but was dragged into the aquarium by that dark mass.

From Jiang Liyue's perspective, the black fish in the aquarium gathered together, seemingly transforming into black "arms".

The "arm" stretched out from the top of the aquarium, grabbed the skinny man, and tried to drag him inside.

Scarface immediately drew his knife and slashed at the "arm" made up of fish, but the arm was only severed for a moment before a steady stream of fish replenished it.

Ultimately, the skinny man was dragged into the aquarium and became part of the human coral reef.

Where he had just stood, there was only a pool of salty, fishy water and a few small fish jumping on the ground.

Jiang Liyue finally understood how the description in the introduction explained how the fish could prey on human bodies and coral reefs.

All of this happened so fast that only two of the three who were originally determined to steal Jiang Liyue's props remained.

They hadn't even had a chance to act yet.

Seeing the grim expressions on their faces, Jiang Liyue uttered two words: "My condolences."

Scarface and Fatty's faces turned even greener.

[Hahaha, Yueyue knows how to really hurt someone's feelings!]

These three don't seem to have good intentions, Yueyue must have noticed.

All I can say is, a beautiful death.

With two of the three missing, Scarface and Fatty would be even less likely to act.

Jiang Liyue pretended not to notice their occasional glances behind her, and continued to visit the other aquariums before heading towards the underwater corridor.

The two noticed her departure and waited a while before preparing to follow. However, before they could even lift their feet, two enormous tentacles emerged from the darkness and wrapped around their feet.

When they tried to call out, tentacles blocked their mouths.

They were dragged into the darkness with faces full of terror, not even noticing what was taking them away.

No one followed behind her, and Jiang Liyue had no idea what the two were up to.

However, she was not afraid. She would meet force with force and water with water. In the face of absolute strength, all schemes were useless.

She looked up at the scene in the underwater corridor, which contained all kinds of marine life, with huge whales swimming overhead, casting large shadows.

It was at this moment that Jiang Liyue heard a gurgling sound.

Then came the repeated calls: "Yueyue, Yueyue..."

The tone was so familiar that she didn't even need to guess who it was.

Jiang Liyue looked up, and the little octopus balloon floating above her head swayed even more violently.

She followed the sound and arrived at the end of the underwater corridor.

At the end, all was darkness except for a few faint blue lights; it was an iron gate with a lock on it.

Jiang Liyue immediately thought of the key that the headmaster had obtained.

Taken out of the space, the key fit perfectly into the hole.

With a click, the door opened.

Inside the door, a pair of eerie red eyes were looking in her direction.
