And the man with Josh.
Although the man's spirit was a Maine Coon cat, he sensed the scent of a similar cat in the other party.
Isn't that strange?
His eyes fell on Josh.
Is God's will really right?
Josh was tortured for a long time, but still had no clue about the wound on his heart.
It seemed that her mental strength was on the verge of collapse.
The Mermaid King pursed his lips and put her back.
“Josh, I’ll wait for you here.”
*
Qiao Xi woke up slowly and saw Yu Ze beside him.
Yu Ze quickly helped her up: "How is it? Are you okay?"
Josh covered his head and gasped in pain.
Yu Ze's spiritual power continuously poured into her spiritual sea.
She is his paired mentor, and his mental power can protect her spiritual sea.
Qiao Xi breathed a sigh of relief: "It should be fine, but my head hurts."
Yuze frowned slightly: "How did you anger that fish?"
Josh shook his head: "I didn't...wait?!"
She sat up: "Fish?"
Yuze nodded: "What else?"
Josh recalled that before he fell into a coma, he felt a powerful mental attack, and then... he remembered nothing.
“Josh, I’ll wait for you here.”
Such a meaningless sentence suddenly echoed in her mind.
This voice... is the Mermaid King?
Qiao Xi looked at the statue in shock, only to find that it had returned to its original appearance, except that the details of its appearance had become much more refined.
She looked at Yuze: "What happened?"
Yu Ze briefly explained to her what happened after she fell into a coma.
Qiao Xi frowned slightly: "Isn't that mermaid with golden hair and sapphire eyes, very beautiful, with narrow eyes, golden eyelashes, and a voice that is a bit androgynous, but very pleasant to hear?"
Yu Ze's face darkened: "I didn't notice what color it was. Anyway, it looked pretty ugly. I didn't look at it that carefully."
Qiao Xi was anxious: "Why don't you take a closer look at the statue if it's alive?"
Yu Ze also became anxious: "I'm not a pervert, why am I staring at a man so closely?"
"Oh..." Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "That's right."
Yu Ze's mouth twitched slightly: "..."
Qiao Xi felt strange: "It's almost certain that it's him, but this is not scientific..."
She looked at Yu Ze: "Captain, has there ever been a case where NPCs from other dungeons appeared in other dungeons before?"
Yuze shrugged. "I haven't encountered it. But we can't rule out this possibility. It's an NPC model anyway. Maybe it's convenient to use it in this copy. When the same element is needed in another copy, he was assigned to it."
It was the first time that Qiao Xi heard such a statement, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Yu Ze's mouth twitched slightly: "How can I remember any details when you have such an ordinary face?"
Josh overturned his guess again. The face of the Mermaid King could definitely not be described as "common".
She couldn't help but take a deep breath and pinched her brows again: "Did this merman do anything to me after he came back to life? Why do I feel like my brain is going to explode?"
Yu Ze spread his hands and said, "I don't know about that. He was holding you when I came. We didn't fight, and he changed back quickly."
Josh glanced at the statue of Poseidon and patted his head to sober himself up.
The two of them sat down at the table.
Josh took out a pen and paper and began to sort out the clues.
Yu Ze yawned and said quietly beside him: "I know why Machi likes you. You both like to have meetings."
Qiao Xi's mouth twitched slightly, and he ignored him and wrote down the clues on the paper.
1. A priestess dies every night, one is missing hair, and the other is missing an arm.
2. The sacrificial maidens are divided into two types: trafficked college students and local women, and are considered unlucky.
3. Yuexi and the women under his command had stiff bodies, not like living people.
4. Funeral lanterns and white paper in the cobblestone woods.
5. The strange female ghost and human-shaped lantern in the houseboat.
6. Granny Cao, a human-shaped lantern, is not welcomed by the villagers, and there is a musky smell in her house.
Josh thought about it and decided not to post another one.
7. According to the female ghost, she was a would-be saint who fell in love with a man and ran away, only to meet a tragic end.
Yuze took a quick glance and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Where did 7 come from?"
Qiao Xi: "I think the folk song sung by the ghost girl I met that night is also a clue. Otherwise, why didn't she sing any other folk songs, but sang something related to the saint?"
Yu Ze nodded, took the pen from her hand, and with a wave of his hand, circled the musk of the sixth clue.
The two looked at each other.
Isozawa: "There is also musk on corpses."
Qiao Xi touched his chin and said, "You mean, these corpses may be related to Grandma Cao?"
Yuze nodded: "Didn't you trigger her side quest?"
Josh: "Help her find her daughter, but we don't know whether her daughter is dead or alive or even who she is."
Yuze: "Based on my experience, the clue must be buried in the NPC. Did she say anything when the quest was triggered?"
Josh recalled carefully and frowned, "Maybe she mentioned that her daughter is everywhere and is watching us."
Yuzawa nodded.
Josh looked at him and said, "It's getting dark soon. Another person is likely to die tonight."
As if she suddenly thought of something, she said, "There are two more points I forgot. When Yuexi caught us that night, he originally came to the ancestral temple to confess. I used spider silk to listen in and it seemed that he was forced to do something very sinful."
Yu Ze narrowed his eyes slightly.
Josh continued: “At the same time, I found that the old saint’s hair and both arms became younger.”
Just from these two clues, the murderer's finger is very clear.
Yu Ze thought for a moment and said, "So, if it was the old saint and Yue Xi, they would still attack the priestess tonight."
Josh nodded: "But we are not sure how those people died."
Yu Ze: "There is musk on the bodies. Maybe that woman called Grandma Cao is also related to their deaths. Could she be in cahoots with the old saint?"
Qiao Xi shook his head: "I don't think so. When Grandma Cao mentioned the Saint, she looked like she wanted to kill her."
Isozawa: "Dislike doesn't mean we can't be in the same group."
Josh understood what he meant.
After thinking for a while, she added: "But our main mission is to ban the nightmare woman. We don't even know what the nightmare woman is."
Yu Ze glanced at the main storyline: "The mission is to resolve the grudge of the forbidden nightmare woman. I guess it is related to these dead priestesses. Let's go and find out tomorrow to see if anyone knows the forbidden nightmare woman."
Josh nodded: "Then let's split up and keep watch tonight?"
Yuze looked at her and asked: "How far can your spider silk monitor?"
Josh: “About 300 meters.”
Yu Ze quickly calculated in his mind: "We should not separate tonight. We should stay at the ancestral hall. This is the center of the entire village. It is within 300 meters of the boat house, Grandma Cao's and the old saint's residence."
