Chapter 214
There is nothing scary about the mermaid. What is really scary is the human-faced mermaid that is invulnerable to swords and guns.
No matter how fast Yitu reacts, it will never be its match.
What's more, this mermaid is in the metamorphosis period and it urgently needs the flesh and blood of its father's kind to draw strength to complete the transformation.
When Yitu was hit hard by the fish's tail and flew out for the third time, the wounds soaked in water were all screaming in pain.
The human-faced mermaid, which was about to reach adulthood, came in front of him. Its originally human face had been distorted and deformed, and was completely unrecognizable.
It panted excitedly, lifted Yitu up with one hand and leaned against the wall, while its other sharp right claw impatiently stabbed into the soft abdominal cavity.
Yitu groaned, and everything in front of his eyes went dark.
Only then did he realize that the outcome was already determined.
The reason for his death was most likely that he just made a wrong move in the game.
Yitu felt like he was being eaten, but after his consciousness faded, he no longer felt the pain.
He couldn't figure out which step he had gone wrong.
After the old woman died, the mermaid disappeared. In the entire cellar, only he and the human-faced mermaid were left alive.
Is it that there are too few surviving players, or is it that Fang Qin, as an important NPC, should not have died?
Before Yitu had time to think clearly, a familiar blood-red font appeared in front of him.
You are dead

A. Yitu
B. Xu Heng
C. Fu Hengyi
[Note: The resurrection point for this round is the second after the dream ends and you return to the cellar. Please be cautious when resurrecting players!]
Although this is a multiple-player choice question, the three players cannot see each other.
Yitu chose himself without hesitation, and a number 1 appeared next to his name on the panel.
Although he still hadn't figured out what the problem was, he was the only one among the three who knew how the story would develop afterwards.
Xu Heng died in his dream, and the seriously injured Huashan had no power to resist when facing so many leeches.
The best way right now is to let Yitu start over.
Three minutes was neither long nor short, Yitu waited quietly.
After the time was up, without any surprise, all three votes were next to Yi Tu's name.
Yi Tu got a chance to resurrect. The darkness in front of his eyes slowly faded away, the scene gradually became clear, and he returned to the point where he made the choice.
The turtles swarmed in. This time, Yitu, who already knew the location of the machete, was much faster.
He slashed away the dragon that was about to pounce on him from behind, and walked towards where the old woman Fang Qin was.
Fang Qin was surrounded by three sea cucumbers. There was not much fear on her face. She just stared at them with dull eyes.
Yitu's move was timely. Fang Qin looked at him with the machete in hand and asked in a trembling voice:
"what are you up to?"
Yitu didn't say anything, but just grabbed her collar and pulled her out of the water.
"Fang Qin, stop your fantasy!"
"There is no such thing as abalone in this world. Those villagers were poisoned to death three years ago!"
"They can't turn into the living dead, and you're the only one who survived from beginning to end!"
Yi Tu's roar echoed in Fang Qin's ears, but the old woman raised her hands and covered her ears the moment she heard this fact.
Hearing Fang Qin's expression, Yitu's heart sank.
He couldn't kill Fang Qin because only Fang Qin knew how to get rid of the human-faced mermaid.
But if he is not killed, he will not be able to hold on until the end and will be torn into pieces by the extremely hungry sea cucumbers.
When they were facing the attack of the mermaid, the human-faced mermaid hid obediently in the water tank and watched everything quietly.
Seeing that the situation behind him was getting more and more intense, Yitu gritted his teeth and decided to knock Fang Qin out first, maybe it would stop her fantasy.
However, before he could do anything, Fang Qin suddenly whispered with trembling lips:
"I know it's fake."
Yitu didn't hear clearly, "What?"
"They are all fake!" Fang Qin laughed and shouted.
As soon as she finished speaking, the surroundings fell into a dead silence, and the crocodiles with bared fangs and claws disappeared in mid-air.
Seeing this, Yitu breathed a sigh of relief and the machete in his hand fell to the ground.
After a while, Yitu looked at the mermaid who had opened the transparent water tank lid and asked:
"What about it? What should it do?"
Fang Qin didn't say anything, but struggled to get up from the ground and walked to the water tank.
She stretched out her hand cautiously, and the blood-red pupils of the mermaid instantly stood up, but it did not attack her.
"Nannan, be good. We are not afraid."
Fang Qin patted the little monster's head and coaxed him softly:
"You promised grandma that you would be a beautiful girl when you grow up, just like daddy!"
The mermaid did not react. In fact, it was about to undergo a secondary development and was facing an inevitable transformation.
This transformation almost made it lose its humanity, leaving only the instinctive desire for flesh and blood of a beast.
No matter how Fang Qin tried to persuade her granddaughter and awaken her partial human consciousness, the mermaid remained unmoved and even began to look impatient.
At this time, Fang Qin also realized that her granddaughter was about to become a real mermaid.
She took a few steps back, keeping a safe distance from the mermaid, then turned to look at Yitu.
"Have you ever killed a fish?"
Fang Qin asked so suddenly that Yi Tu didn't react immediately.
"What?"
Fang Qin did not answer him, but picked up the machete that was submerged in the water and handed it to him again.
She looked into Yitu's eyes and said softly:
"I'll let her out to eat in a moment, and you..."
"Find an opportunity to cut off its tail."
Yitu couldn't help but frown, not understanding what she meant: "You want to kill it?"
Fang Qin shook her head. "She is my granddaughter, my only relative in this world."
"It is also the new life that Zhiwen gained through his death."
Speaking of this, Fang Qin's eyes flashed with soft light, as if she was lost in memories.
"You know, on the day that monster gave birth, Zhiwen had a chance to escape, but he didn't."
"I heard the noise and ran over to see the scene. It ate my son with big mouthfuls, but tears were in its eyes..."
"What did Zhiwen say...Oh, I remember now, he said..."
"He was willing. He said death is the beginning of a new life. He said he was sorry, Mom, but he made me swear to protect this child..."
Fang Qin's face was covered with tears. She looked at Yi Tu and said in a trembling voice:
"I think I should have done it."
"If you cut off Nannan's fish tail, its secondary development will be forcibly interrupted."
"All the body's functions will first choose to repair the main body. However, the last time her tail was cut off, Nannan's repair function has reached its limit."
"This time, it won't grow a new tail. It will become a real human being."
Even though she was a deformed and incomplete human being, she did her best to do it for her child.
After Fang Qin finished her explanation, she wiped the tears from her cheeks and even walked towards the little monster with a faint and relaxed smile.
Yi Tu stared blankly at Fang Qin, who was pounced to the ground by the impatient human-faced mermaid as soon as she approached.
It bit her cheek and fiercely tore off a large piece of skin.
Fang Qin's scream only uttered one syllable before being forcibly stifled in her throat.
"Go ahead! Cut off its tail!"
The sharp claws of the human-faced mermaid tore open Fang Qin's clothes and quickly pierced into her soft abdominal cavity. Fang Qin's mouth was bleeding, but her eyes were still gentle as she looked at the little monster.
She used all her strength and locked the mermaid's head tightly with her arms so that it could not struggle at all.
"Cut along the blue waistline!" Fang Qin screamed in pain.
Yi Tu, holding a machete, finally found an opportunity and chopped down hard along the blue waistline that Fang Qin mentioned.
"roar!"
The mermaid let out a shrill scream, and slapped its tail violently, directly knocking Yi Tu three meters away.
The tail was completely broken and fell to the side.
Yitu breathed a sigh of relief instantly, and looked at Fang Qin again. Her eyes were still open, and she was looking at her granddaughter with a smile on her lips.
The mermaid let out a soft sniffle and cried out in a childish voice:
"Grandma, I'm good..."
Fang Qin is dead.
Yitu suppressed the discomfort in her heart and lifted up her trouser legs.
As expected, it was a pair of mutilated thighs.
She cut off the flesh from her thighs and fed it to the mermaid.
Three times of cutting off the tail, three times of extending life, and also three times of sacrificing life.
Death is the beginning of rebirth. The female mermaid, Ye Zhiwen, and Fang Qin tried their best to complete the complicated and difficult process of death.
Just in exchange for the rebirth of future generations.
Yitu picked up the disabled child and felt that she was so light.
"Does it have a name?" Yitu asked softly.
The little girl's eyes were red from crying. Her small hands tightly grasped Yitu's bloodstained collar and she said in a trembling voice:
"Xiao Yu."
"Xiao Yu." Yi Tu read it and smiled: "It sounds good."
He carried Xiaoyu back to the ground. When he walked out of the yard, the sky outside was bright, so bright that it made his eyes sore.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from afar.
Someone was pulling a donkey cart and slowly approaching.
"Is this Sister Fang's house?" The man jumped out of the car, looked at the child in Yitu's arms, and rubbed his hands.
"I'm here to pick up Xiaoyu. I'm not a human trafficker. My boss is Zhuo Gang. You should know that, right?"
Yi Tu nodded. Zhuo Gang was Zhuo Yong's father who had been doing business for many years. Fang Qin had already explained everything.
Yitu handed the child to him. It was not the first time that the man had seen Xiaoyu, and he was not afraid of the child's strange appearance at all.
He took the child in his arms, took out a brown paper bag from his arms and stuffed it into Yitu's hand.
"Let's go!"
The clatter of the donkey cart faded away, and Yitu opened the brown paper bag.
Inside was a stack of red banknotes with a piece of white paper in the middle.
There is only one black number on the white paper, 7.
Yitu smiled and put the brown paper bag at his feet without taking anything away.
He walked along the path, and five minutes later, he saw Xu Heng and Huasan who had been waiting on the path for a long time.
The three of them smiled at each other, and Yitu said softly:
"Let's go."
