Chapter 212
Yi Tu did not hide anything and told Xu Heng that Han Yun had proposed to him and triggered the multiple-choice question.
"Right now, it's unclear how the plot will develop. We can only take it one step at a time."
Yitu instructed:
"Be careful and come to me if you have any problems."
Xu Heng nodded, "I understand. You should focus on the flower umbrella. Don't worry about me."
Yitu responded without saying anything else and turned to leave.
Although the game does not prevent players from exchanging information and communicating with each other, Yitu has a deep intuition.
After today, they may not have the chance to meet again.
As it turned out, Yitu's guess was correct.
Because Huasan's injuries were too severe, he fell into a coma the next day.
In other words, the plot of this game can only be advanced by Yi Tu and Xu Heng.
However, after finishing the multiple-choice question in Yitu, there was no progress at all.
He could only wander around the village with nothing to do, glancing at Han Yun's family's movements intentionally or unintentionally.
The girl from the Han family who was rejected by Zhuo Yong was not a simple person. Beautiful girls tend to be a little proud and arrogant, and it is impossible for them not to take action.
That day, as Yi Tu went out, he ran into Han Xiao who was in a hurry.
Judging from the direction she was going, there was a high probability that she was going to look for her lover Ye Zhiwen.
Yitu couldn't help but coughed and shouted:
"Sister Xiaoxiao, why are you going to look for Zhiwen so early in the morning? He might not even be up yet."
When Han Xiao heard this, a look of annoyance immediately appeared on her face.
"Brother Dayong, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"There's nothing between Brother Zhiwen and me. I'm going to talk to him and make things clear right now!"
After saying that, Han Xiao turned around and ran away, leaving Yi Tu alone in deep thought.
Han Xiao's attempt to find Ye Zhiwen to explain things did not go smoothly. She arrived at an inopportune moment and was seen by Fang Qin who came out to dry the quilts.
Not only did Fang Qin lose her former enthusiasm, she also had a cold face and spoke harshly to Han Xiao.
The little girl's eyes were red on the spot, and she didn't see Ye Zhiwen at all. Yitu followed behind and saw it very clearly.
Since she couldn't meet Ye Zhiwen himself, Han Xiao asked her sister Han Xiu to sneak into Ye's house and deliver the message.
The two agreed to meet at eight o'clock the next night, next to the willow tree not far from Ye Zhiwen's house.
Yi Tu didn't know about this, but he stared at Han Xiao so closely that he almost became a pervert.
As soon as Han Xiao went out that day, Yi Tu saw her from afar and followed her.
The little girl walked lightly, but Yitu was even lighter than her. The two of them kept a distance of about 30 meters and walked all the way to the river.
Because so many strange things have happened by the river these days, few people dare to approach it during the day, let alone in the dead of night.
Han Xiao was also scared and kept looking around, afraid that something would suddenly appear in the darkness.
The bare willow branches hung down by the river, revealing a somewhat aggressive and sinister aura.
Ye Zhiwen was late, and Han Xiao was getting impatient. She stamped her feet and couldn't help complaining in a low voice.
She had been looking in the direction of Ye Zhiwen's house, her expression so focused that she didn't even notice when a triangular head appeared on the dark, mirror-like river surface.
But Yi Tu, who was hiding behind the tree, could see it clearly.
It has a triangular head, flat on both sides, bulging eyes, and is covered with dense lake blue scales.
Those slender scales can reflect an exceptionally moving light under the moonlight.
Yitu saw the human-faced mermaid swimming slowly towards Han Xiao, its eyes revealing the ferocity of a predator.
When its arms were fully extended out of the water, a sense of horror arose uncontrollably in Yitu's heart.
Rather than saying it is a mermaid's hand, it is more like a human arm, except that it is covered with a layer of fine scales.
It stood up from the water, its slender upper body exuding an indescribable elegance, but this elegance was completely shattered when its sturdy lower body appeared.
The scales rubbed against the dry ground, making a slight sound.
Han Xiao didn't pay any attention and continued to stamp her feet in frustration.
In Yitu's opinion, she was too weak. Her alertness and physical adaptability were zero.
What's more, the human-faced mermaid is more than ten times more agile and fast than an ordinary person. The outcome of this hunt was not as miraculous as Yi Tu had imagined.
Han Xiao was knocked to the ground by a suddenly rising black shadow. Her screams were fragmented and could only be heard as a few vague tones.
The thing hit her right on target and bit her throat tightly, but didn't bite it off immediately.
So Yitu saw Han Xiao's body twisting and twitching wildly on the ground, with an expression of extreme pain and horror.
The desire to survive made her struggle desperately, but her throat was bitten into a bloody hole, so she had no extra strength to escape.
So she could only watch helplessly as she was dragged into the river by the thing by her hair like a dying rabbit.
The river water submerged her long and beautiful legs and covered her slender waist. The girl who was blooming like a flower was about to fall.
Yitu didn't move, he just hid behind the tree and watched coldly.
Until the sound of human footsteps was heard from the other end of the river, which attracted the attention of the human-faced mermaid who wanted to eat.
Ye Zhiwen arrived late. Standing under the willow tree in the shadows, he saw the movement in the river and asked suspiciously:
"Xiao Xiao, is that you?"
No one responded, but the figure in the river shrank back as if frightened.
Ye Zhiwen felt a little strange. Although it was just the beginning of autumn, it was still a bit chilly at night.
What's more, Han Xiao went into the water, and her body couldn't bear it for a long time.
"Xiaoxiao, please come up quickly. The water is cold at night. Don't catch a cold the next day."
Ye Zhiwen advised with some concern, and then he moved closer, wanting to pull Han Xiao up.
But the person hiding in the river was not Han Xiao, but a man-eating monster.
Yi Tu knew this, and Xu Heng, who became Ye Zhiwen, was even more aware of it, but he had no choice, the plot must go on.
As the protagonist, Ye Zhiwen will have at least three or four multiple-choice questions waiting for him every day.
These are seemingly insignificant questions that are only related to the story and will not cause death, but in fact they are the most likely to confuse players' judgment.
Seeing Xu Heng about to walk to the river, only three or four meters away from the human-faced mermaid who had just killed someone, Yi Tu's heart slowly rose.
At this moment, the moon hid in the clouds and the night was hazy and dark.
Xu Heng couldn't see the person in the river clearly, and Yi Tu could only vaguely catch a glimpse of Xu Heng's faint figure.
Time seemed to stop and freeze. After a long while, Yitu heard Xu Heng's voice.
It wasn't clear, but it revealed an excitement that was beyond words, and even a little trembling.
Yitu tried his best to figure it out, but Xu Heng had already stopped talking.
He squatted down and stretched out his hand toward the person in the river, spreading out his slender, clean, and warm palm.
After a long while, a slender webbed claw with a metallic luster was carefully extended.
The two hugged each other by the river, their shoes and socks soaked, when the moonlight happened to appear, casting a layer of soft light.
Although Ye Zhiwen was hugging a monster, the monster, contrary to its usual behavior, did not extend its claws.
Yitu frowned slightly, already guessing what would happen next.
At this moment, a plot choice question popped up in front of him.
Driven by curiosity, you followed Han Xiao all the way to the river, and happened to see everything that happened.
You don’t know what exactly happened here, nor do you understand why your cousin Ye Zhiwen is hugging a monster covered with scales.
They looked like a pair of lovers cuddling each other, while the monster took Ye Zhiwen away from the murder scene.
At this moment, you are still in shock and decide:
A. Take the opportunity to leave here, tell Han Yun everything that happened, and bring people to capture the monster
B. Take the opportunity to leave here, but choose to keep the secret for your cousin and pretend nothing happened
C. Don't rush to leave. Go forward to check if Han Xiao is dead and then react accordingly.
The thinking time for multiple-choice questions is only half a minute, and the options are not difficult to understand. It is even easy to guess how the plot will develop later.
The development behind each option is directly or indirectly related to Ye Zhiwen.
Yitu thought for a moment and decided to choose C.
Only option C leaves room for players to make their own judgment and actions; the other two options are too absolute.
When Yi Tu made his choice, Xu Heng and the mermaid had disappeared from his sight.
He didn't waste any more time, and quickly walked over to pull up Han Xiao, who was standing not far away with only half of her head exposed.
The lower half of Han Xiao's face and neck were covered in blood and flesh, which were the marks of being eaten by the human-faced mermaid.
According to common sense, Han Xiao, who had lost too much blood, could not be still alive, but when Yi Tu went to check her heartbeat.
Her heart was still beating, although it was very weak and almost stopped.
Realizing that Han Xiao was still alive, Yi Tu couldn't help but frown and stood by the river to calm down for a few seconds.
It is not a good thing for Han Xiao to be alive, because then he will face two unavoidable choices.
Save people, or don't save them.
If Han Xiao is rescued, even if he can say nothing, Han Xiao will tell everyone about the existence of the human-faced mermaid after she wakes up.
But if he chooses not to save her, then who is she in Ye Zhiwen's eyes?
If he guessed correctly, the reason why Ye Zhiwen reacted like that to the human-faced mermaid was most likely because he saw the mermaid's human face.
The beautiful face on the back of the mermaid can create a blurry illusion for living people.
Those who have someone they like see the face of their beloved, while those who have no one they love see the ideal standard in their own fantasy.
It is precisely because Ye Zhiwen’s object of admiration is Han Xiao, so in Ye Zhiwen’s eyes, the person standing in front of him is not a mermaid monster, but Han Xiao herself.
As for Xu Heng...Yitu didn't dare to think about it.
He didn't even dare to think about it.
Han Xiao cannot die. At least in historical stories, the villagers also know about the existence of the mermaid.
In line with the course of history, Yitu brought the half-dead Han Xiao back to the Han family.
The author has something to say:
I'll post it for you today, and I'll finish writing the plot for the second password point tomorrow~
I originally thought I could write faster, but I ended up writing in quite a bit of detail... I'll just go slower, I can't just give you guys a perfunctory QAQ
