Something seems wrong with your mermaid.

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, covering the entire town, and dense rain fell like needles.

As the rain hit the faces of the townspeople, everyone ran happily towards the beach.

And now, eight sirens were kneeling on the originally empty coastline.

Ji Xiaoyu hid in the room and saw from the second-floor window that the kneeling sirens looked the same as those on the altar.

Unlike the ones on the altar, their originally kind and gentle faces were now filled with extreme pain, their backs were bent, and they knelt there weakly.

The group of residents who rushed over excitedly went forward and gnawed their bodies. He clearly saw that the residents had inhuman sharp teeth and fish-tail-like lower bodies.

The residents who failed to grab the flesh and blood roared and tore away the fellows in front of them, and their sharp teeth seemed to be about to pierce their bodies in the next second.

Along with the gnawing and roaring, the sound of a conch shell blew from the sea, reaching the ears of every resident from far away. A huge reef slowly emerged from the calm sea, and on it sat a woman with a fish tail and a human body, but a beautiful face.

Looking at the completely devoured corpse, she stood up, pleased with the residents kneeling on the beach. A huge fish tail slapped the sea, stirring up a layer of high waves.

Her voice was hoarse and unpleasant, but it moved people's hearts like a spell: "Kill them, and you can live on land forever."

Residents raised their hands and shouted, "Kill them, kill them!"

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and fog was gradually rising on the sea.

When the sound of the conch was heard again, the mermaids on the sea also disappeared, but the shouting residents did not stand up, but remained kneeling facing the sea.

Ji Xiaoyu pulled the curtains tightly and stopped looking. He had seen this scene when he was ten years old, but the sea god's tail was not so big at that time, and the mermaid kneeling on the ground was not so small.

He was clutching the curtains, wondering why Poseidon had left so quickly this time, when he faintly smelled a strong sea odor. He thought it was the smell of the seaside blown by the wind, but he didn't expect that as soon as he turned his head, he was met with a pair of deep red eyes.

Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand and grabbed his neck, lifting him up. Her sharp claws scratched his skin.

She enjoyed watching people suffocate and the sight of them struggling helplessly during death, but now was not the time.

Just when Ji Xiaoyu was about to suffocate to death, she let him go. He collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.

Seeing the little red hair, Ji Xiaoyu thought she was the sea god.

He looked at her cautiously and asked her in a trembling voice what she was going to do.

Xiao Xiao bared his fangs and threatened him: "Your meat looks delicious."

Ji Xiaoyu, who was successfully frightened, yelled at her to get out.

He looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction and laughed heartily.

She looked scary when she smiled. The corners of her mouth were stretched out, and her fangs looked even more terrifying.

She grabbed his neck and once again made him feel the near death - punishment for his disrespect to her.

"Listen here, you idiot."

Xiao Xiao restrained himself and said seriously, "If you want to survive, you must obey my orders."

Release his neck and throw Xiao Xiao to him temptingly.

"Do you want to see your parents? You stupid human."

Ji Xiaoyu, whose face flushed red, was stunned when he heard her words.

"Parents?" He moved his lips.

From childhood to adulthood, no one around him had ever mentioned his parents. Even when he asked, those people kept silent.

He thought he was adopted, and it was normal for those people not to know who his parents were. So, he was stunned when he heard her mention her parents.

Xiaoxiao snapped her fingers lightly, and before Ji Xiaoyu's eyes appeared a couple holding a baby. His eyes swept across the baby in their arms, and the baby's face was exactly the same as the photo he placed on the bedside.

That's him.

He asked her in a trembling voice: "Are they still alive?"

Knowing that he was asking, Xiaoxiao looked at him with her arms folded across her chest.

"certainly."

"Can I see them?"

"Dong—"

Xiao Xiao threw him a conch. She said, "Of course you can, after the mission is accomplished. But if it doesn't succeed, not only will you not be able to see them, you will also have to collect their bodies."

Her fingertips brushed across his face, and even a slight pressure would leave a bloody mark. "And you, too, will die!"

Inside the altar, all the huddled statues exploded, sending flying fragments flying towards them.

Several people dodged in a hurry, fearing that they would be hit.

Wang Shitou, who was near the door, wanted to open it, but the door seemed to be blocked and did not move at all.

"Damn, why the hell did it explode?" Ma Liangchen hid under the fish tank with his head in his hands.

"Did we worship wrongly?" Liu Hanshui used his arm to block the flying debris. Fortunately, the flying debris was not big and his arm only felt a momentary pain.

After the statue exploded, Zhang Heqian kicked the fragments at his feet.

"That can't be. Maybe we're praying in the wrong direction."

Wang Shitou angrily pounded on the door, his hands turning red, but the door remained motionless. "Made! This door won't open."

Qi Jing touched the wall covered by the fish tail, and looked up to see that the statue that had originally closed its eyes was now looking at them with its eyes open.

His voice was not loud, but loud enough for everyone to hear: "Her eyes are open."

Looking in the direction he pointed, not only were the statue's eyes open, but its position had also lowered a lot.

Inside the empty altar, the Sea God's eyes stared intently at them. Concentrated on the statue overhead, they hadn't noticed the colorful fish in the tank in the corner had doubled in size. Just as they were discussing what was different about the statue, the door opened.

The woman who brought them here was holding an oil lamp in her hand. Her voice sounded coldly behind them: "It's time to go."

“Yeah~!”

Zhang Heqian was so frightened that he shuddered and his voice became higher.

"Didn't you hear that loud explosion just now?"

The woman's eyes were dark, no longer as bright as they had been at first. "Strangers, lying in front of the Sea God is disrespectful. You should leave!"

That he lied?

"Made, there are so many pieces of debris on the ground. Are you blind? You can't see them! All the statues on your altar are broken into pieces. You can't see them!"

He clearly remembered that there was a piece of gravel at his feet. He squatted down and didn't touch it. He looked around and found that all the fragments were gone. Realizing that he had been tricked, he pointed at her and said, "You... Wow..."

Before he could curse, Liu Hanshui covered his mouth and pulled him out. He only let go when the door was closed outside.

Zhang Heqian was so furious that he yelled at the closed door of the altar: "Made, there's a ghost in your altar, there's a ghost!"

The sky was dark and nothing seemed to be happening on the coast except for a few children playing there.

Except for the fact that it was getting dark, the place was exactly the same as before they entered, with almost no changes, if a handful of mud had not been thrown at them.

Zhang Heqian, who was already angry because his microphone was forced to be muted, was now thrown mud at by someone, so he turned on the microphone.

"I'm going to die! Can't you see there's someone here?"

"Is there shit on your eyes that can't open?

"You..."

Shi Yuncheng, who was also hit, picked up the mud on his arm with his fingers. This time he was the one who manually gave Zhang He money to shut up.

"Why is this mud wet? Did it rain?" After saying that, he went to look at the mud on Shu Yan's body.

Shu Yan: "Where are you looking? Look down at the ground!"

The soil in the town was covered with a thick layer of sand, and they had walked for so long without feeling the sand was wet.

Feeling something was wrong, he simply dug up the sand on the ground with his bare hands until the moist soil underneath was exposed.

Rule five: If it rains and a baby turtle appears in the room, give it to the second person who knocks on the door.

"Damn it, it's over!"

Realizing what was happening, several people ran towards the room.

Ma Liangchen couldn't see anyone, so he had to be pulled by Liao Wenqiang. He bumped into many people along the way, and every time he would say, "I'm sorry, I'm blind."

"I'm sorry, I'm blind."

The few people who were busy running didn't notice at all that after they passed by the residents, these people would stop what they were doing and look at them until they reached the door.

When he opened the door, the imagined turtle did not appear in the room, but instead a sumptuous dinner was placed on the table.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and lay down tiredly on the sofa and bed.

"Boom—"

It suddenly started raining heavily outside the house, and thunder rumbled one after another, as if it was the wrath of heaven.

After they had rested, they sat at the table to eat with hungry stomachs.

“Bang, bang, bang—”

"Hello, can you give me back my turtle?" A childish voice came from outside the door.

The people who were eating took a look at the plate of unknown meat in the middle of the table.

"?"

Zhang Heqian spat out the chewed meat in his mouth and looked at them: "Made, this isn't what I ate, is it?"

"Congratulations, you won the jackpot!"

Lin Nuan used chopsticks to pull out the head and limbs buried at the bottom. She raised the corners of her mouth and looked at him apologetically, but her tone could not hide the mockery.

Liu Hanshui put down his bowl and chopsticks, tugged at his shoulder, and laughed out loud without even pretending: "Hahahahahahahaha, why are you still so stupid?"

"Ugh~"

Seeing his head and limbs turned out, Zhang Heqian ran into the bathroom and tried to vomit out what he had tasted.

Outside the door, the voice stopped after a while, but was followed by a second knock on the door.

“Bang, bang, bang—”

"Hello, I picked up the wrong dish." This time it was a man.

Zhang Heqian, who had just come out of the bathroom, went to open the door and was about to hand him the plate of braised turtle. But when he saw there was another person standing behind the person at the door, he slammed the door shut again.

These monsters are very insidious. They are not only evil but also scheming. For example, if the little girl behind the man hadn't peeked out just now, Zhang Heqian might have really given him the thing.

It almost violated the rules.

It was already dark, and I had opened the door four or five times, but the person with the red shell didn't show up.

"Maybe it's because the turtle died, so the people who come here are always the wrong ones."

For more than ten minutes, the food they were waiting for had gone cold and they had opened the door countless times, but the man just didn't show up.

Maybe that's true, but no one can say for sure.

Lin Nuan couldn't help but yawn. Rubbing her face, she waved her hand and went upstairs. Feeling sleepy, she said to the few people sitting there, "No, let's go to sleep first. The turtle has been made into a dish, so it won't cause much harm to us. Anyway, no one is knocking on the door now, so let's go to sleep."

Zhang Heqian was still holding the plate of food in his hand. After hearing what she said, he simply threw it on the table and went to sleep.

The remaining few looked at each other and decided to do as Lin Nuan said. After all, if they just waited like that, there was no guarantee that the person wearing the red shell would show up even at dawn.

But if that plate of turtles came to life tomorrow, I'd think it would be hell.
