Nine people from a mental asylum made a pact with someone: to exchange their lives for the asylum's disappearance.
A month after escaping the asylum, they were pulled into a world created...
Kill them
Heavy snow will not come, but new disasters will.
Ma Liangchen was thinking that he seemed to have seen this person before.
They approached the altar and saw the woman from yesterday sitting at the door. The door of the altar was locked.
Seeing them, the woman gestured for them to place the fish they had caught into the fish tank nearby. "We already made an offering yesterday. Our sea god is aware of your arrival. From now on, just place the fish in this tank."
After Zhang Heqian put the fish in, he looked at her face still covered with the veil and asked, "Is it really haunted?"
Under the veil, the woman licked her lips. She was so hungry and wanted to eat the man in front of her who was disrespectful to the sea god.
The woman walked up to him and looked at the strong muscles on Zhang Heqian's body. She really couldn't wait to taste it.
"Outsider, you should go back early after releasing the fish."
The smell of gunpowder was so strong. Qi Jing stood beside the woman, and when the wind blew, he could clearly see the woman's sharp teeth under the veil.
Look at the way she stared at Zhang Heqian, it was like she wanted to eat him.
Qi Jing pulled Zhang Heqian away, and the woman's gaze shifted to her.
"Excuse me, we're leaving now."
Zhang Heqian pouted, expressing his dissatisfaction, and then Wang Shitou gave him a beating and made him follow them obediently.
Ma Liangchen followed behind them, and Liao Wenqiang followed behind her with something in his hand and asked him what he was thinking about.
The people walking in front turned around to look at him. Ma Liangchen also looked at them, staring at their faces. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "Have you ever seen a handsome guy with yellow eyes?"
"Yellow eyes?" A man appeared in Lin Nuan's mind - an old man.
She asked him, "What's wrong?"
Ma Liangchen looked around at everyone on the beach. The man he saw yesterday was nowhere to be found. He stared at the sea and said, "I heard him calling me from the sea."
"He asked me to save him."
The wind blew over, carrying the fishy smell, filling everyone's nostrils.
Ripples appeared on the calm sea surface, and slowly the ripples turned into waves. The children who stayed on the beach to play came back. They passed by a few people, looked at them with smiles, and said in unison: "Hello, strangers."
Zhang Heqian pushed away a child who had bumped into him and asked, "Is that the person who said your eyes would be healed tomorrow?"
"Yes." Ma Liangchen pointed at his eyes and looked at them: "He didn't lie to me, my eyes can really see clearly, and I feel that I can see more clearly than before."
When he pointed, they noticed that the color of his eyes had also turned a little yellow, which was not noticeable unless you looked closely.
Lin Nuan scratched his eyes and exclaimed, "Your eyes have turned yellow!"
"Let me see, let me see." Zhang Heqian pushed Lin Nuan aside and looked at her eyes, whose pupils had turned yellow, in shock. "Oh my god, it's true."
"My eyes have turned yellow?" Ma Liangchen, thinking that he was really lying, turned his head to look at Liao Wenqiang.
Liao Wenqiang nodded, indicating that they did not lie to him.
"Yellow eyes, it seems that only one person here has them." Qi Jing pointed to the house next to them.
"You fainted that day. It was Lin Nuan who knocked on the door, and it was the old man who dragged you in."
Ma Liangchen rubbed his eyes and said, "What does this have to do with the yellow-eyed handsome guy I mentioned?"
Lin Nuan pointed at Ji Xiaoyu, who was sitting next to the match pile, and said, "The old man this guy is talking about is a handsome guy with yellow eyes. And he's not old at all."
Ma Liangchen looked at Ji Xiaoyu who was sitting with her head down next to the pile of matches, and he ran over.
Ever since he told them today that there would be a welcome party here in the evening, Ji Xiaoyu has been sitting here with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Do you know where the old man is?" Ma Liangchen asked behind him.
Ji Xiaoyu, who was thinking with his head down, was startled. He looked at the people who surrounded him and felt a little uneasy. He lowered his head as if afraid of being discovered.
"I have no idea."
Lin Nuan knocked on the old man's door, but no one came to open it. She tried turning the door, but it wasn't locked.
Walking in, the layout was identical to their room, but much larger. The first floor had a living area, and the area where the bed used to be had become a kitchen. The second floor also had only one bed, but it had a few more things: books and blueprints.
There was no one in the room. Looking at the photos scattered on the floor, she reached out to pick them up and out of the corner of her eye she saw something under the bed.
When she came out, she saw Ji Xiaoyu being pinned to the ground by several people. She quickly ran over and asked, "What happened?"
Ma Liangchen's eyes had completely turned yellow by now. He looked up at Lin Nuan and asked, "Is he there?"
Lin Nuan shook her head and said, "The door was not locked. I went in and saw no one was inside."
Ma Liangchen pinched Ji Xiaoyu's neck and asked him: "He's gone, don't you know? Isn't he your uncle?"
"Ji Xiaoyu, you killed him." Ma Liangchen looked at him with the same eyes as Ji Changtian.
"I didn't!" The moment Ji Xiaoyu looked at Ma Liangchen, it seemed as if she was back to yesterday.
Ji Changtian looked at him in the same way, pointed at the conch hanging on his waist and said, "Did she look for you?"
He didn't answer him, just stared at him.
The old man has looked like this since he can remember. Now that he has grown up, the old man still looks like this.
He said, "Old man, you seem to have never aged."
Seeing him like this, Ji Changtian knew that he had believed what that person said: "Xiaoyu, don't believe her, she is lying to you!"
Ji Xiaoyu walked forward and stared into his yellow eyes. He saw pain and disbelief in them.
He pulled out the injection and watched him fall to the ground in pain. He said, "Old man, you are lying to me."
Ji Changtian lay on the ground in pain. He looked at the child in front of him whom he had risked his life to save from that man, and every memory of the past flashed through his mind.
"Uncle, I want to go to the sea, too."
"Uncle, why are your eyes yellow?"
"Uncle, why don't I have a father and a mother?"
"Uncle, why am I called Xiaoyu?"
Because, little fish, little fish, swim quickly, and there is freedom on all sides.
The moment he closed his eyes, he seemed to be back to that day. The cold snow wrapped their bodies. Looking at his mother lying in the distance, he climbed over there with all his strength, but it was so cold.
His stiff fingers began to lose strength, his vision began to darken, and he ultimately failed to crawl to his mother's side.
"Mom, it's so cold."
Ji Xiaoyu threw away the things in his hand and dragged the man to the altar in the dark. Looking at the statue of the sea god on the altar, he bowed devoutly.
In fact, he had thought that Poseidon was lying to him, but when he thought about how they had kept silent about their parents since he was a child, he felt that maybe his mother was really still alive, otherwise why wouldn't these people say anything.
"Old man, Poseidon said he won't do anything to you. Wait, I'll let you out once I find your parents."
Ji Xiaoyu muttered to himself as he looked at Ji Changtian who had fainted.
"Then what is this?"
Lin Nuan took out the syringe she found under the bed and put the needle close to his eyes. Ji Xiaoyu wanted to hide back, but Ma Liangchen pinned him to the ground and he couldn't move at all.
"Believe it or not, I didn't kill him."
Shu Yan asked Ma Liangchen to let him go. He said to Ji Xiaoyu, "Just because you didn't kill him doesn't mean his disappearance has nothing to do with you. Ji Xiaoyu, you're going to kill him."
"I don't!"
Ji Xiaoyu got up from the ground and shouted at him: "He won't die, he won't die!"
Shu Yan didn't say anything, just looked at him, which made him feel uneasy.
He pushed through the crowd and wanted to go to the altar to see if anyone was still there, but the residents surrounded them.
The leading man grinned and said, "Xiaoyu, where are you going? The welcome party is about to begin. Don't make everyone unhappy."
Ji Xiaoyu was pushed back to the ground, and the conch hanging on her waist broke silently.
The few people who were squeezed out of the matchpile knew that it was almost over, so they ran to Ji Changtian's room and flipped through a lot of information on the wall and on the floor.
Poseidon, a creature with a fish tail, lives in the deep sea and likes to appear on the sea surface during heavy rain. Their voices are hoarse and unpleasant, but they can bewitch people.
The siren looks like a primitive creature. Although it looks scary, it will not attack humans.
I am a human being, not a monster. My name is Changtian.
Humans injected with the sea god's blood will become like them, with fish-like tails and sharp teeth. During the day, the residents here live like humans, but unlike the sea gods, they are not afraid of sunlight.
I am a human being, not a monster. My name is Changtian.
If a person who has been injected with Poseidon's blood has a dream that is not their own that night, they must not go into the sea. After going into the sea, Poseidon's blood will spread rapidly throughout the body, and the person will slowly transform into a monster, a monster controlled by Poseidon.
I am a human being, not a monster. My name is Changtian.
"Damn, am I going to mutate?" Ma Liangchen pointed at his eyes and looked at them.
As if he had thought of something, he looked at them puzzledly again: "Don't we eat and drink the same things? How come you are fine?"
Lin Nuan looked at the diary she found under her pillow and said, "This Changtian is quite a jerk. He actually asked you to go to the bottom of the sea and release those sea monsters."
""
The first page of the diary,
My name is Changtian. I am the original human being here, but now I am a monster.
Don't catch too many creatures in the sea, otherwise the sirens will be angry and you will become a monster like us.
Page 2,
Here came a group of humans, living in the houses we once had, and making a living by fishing here, just as we had done in the past. They also plundered the fish here, just as we had done before, but this time the siren didn't send snow, but a torrential rain. As they were all at sea blessing the newborn, the downpour swept them all over the sea.
In the chaos, I picked up the newborn baby. He was named Xiaoyu, a name given by everyone on the boat, to symbolize fish every year.
I asked the sea goddess to raise him, but she disagreed. However, looking at the little guy's face, I had the idea of resisting her for the first time, so I fled the sea and came to the land.
I was surprised to find that my fish tail had turned into legs again, and I was no longer afraid of the sun.
Page 3,
The sea goddess found me. I don’t know what she was thinking, but she agreed to let me raise the fish, but the prerequisite is that we have to kill the outsiders who come here.
I agree.
Page 4,
When the strangers arrived, I took advantage of their struggle to find the sea god in the sea, but I didn't find him. Instead, I found the imprisoned sea monster. I asked them why they wanted to bring disaster to kill us, but they told me that it was not them who brought the disaster, but the sea god.
I don't believe it, but once people have doubts, they will keep verifying it.
Page 5,
What the sirens said was true. It was really a disaster sent by the sea god. She killed us.
She's lying to us!
Page 6,
Poseidon has been out lately and I don't know where she's been, but this is undoubtedly the best time for me to go to the sea.
Page 7,
The sirens told me that the dreams we have every night are seen by the sea god outside. I asked them how to kill the sea god, and they said that if the sea god died, we would also die.
I asked them why, and they said, because we live on the blood of the sea god, this blood allows us to share the memory of the sea god, and this sharing makes us a mother and child relationship, the sea god is the mother, and we are the child.
If the mother dies, the offspring will also die.
Page 8,
I found a way to kill Poseidon.
It turns out that she wanted to kill the outsider because only by killing the outsider could she survive.
Page 9,
Poseidon has discovered my intention, I need to speed up my actions.
The sirens told me that only outsiders could kill the sea god, so they asked me to pick one of the outsiders and inject my blood into his body so that he could move in the sea like me. They said that only in this way could the outsiders release them before the sea god killed them.
Page 10,
The stranger is coming.
I picked an unlucky guy.
Looking at them, I suddenly felt a little worried. What should I do if they died this time?
Page 11,
You must succeed...
The child wants to kill the mother. What's the difference between this and matricide?
Putting down the diary in her hand, Lin Nuan said, "Is the match pile about to catch fire?"
As it began to get dark, the residents lit the central pyre.
Rule seven: If the pyre in the center of town catches fire, please refer back to the rules.
Not only the pile of matches was burning, but also Ji Changtian's home.
Coming out of the room, they ignored the residents' gazes and walked straight to the notice board. The original rules flashed for a few seconds before becoming:
Kill them—Tan.
A bone machete was placed under the bulletin board. This was the dragon bone blade that Lao Tan had prepared for them, which could chop down all the monsters in the world.
This time, they should put an end to this crappy place.
