Chapter 68: Twins 33: Amniotic Fluid

The sword looked as if it wanted to plunge into the pool along with the blessing.

However, it never penetrated the water, as if it was blocked outside.

"It can, it can move?" The player's lips moved, his expression a little terrified.

"This copy involves the supernatural and some other things."

It was indeed very strange. Although Meng Yuanzhou said so, he didn't want to touch this evil prop. This prop looked even scarier than those evil spirits. Not only could it move, it could also absorb his physical strength.

If that's the case, won't Zhuci be stabbed in the head if he comes up again later?

Wu Yi's expression was also very solemn.

…

After entering the water, Zhu Ci had the opportunity to feel the surrounding environment because he did not experience the tight situation of being pulled by the ghost last time.

The surrounding water pressed against him, and the feeling was different from that of ordinary clean water.

The dive seemed to have no end, and Zhuci gradually became a little tired.

If there is no baby in the water, the door should not be opened.

However... he now had some guesses about the composition of the water.

…

"Blah!"

The congratulatory speech resurfaced.

"Hey?" Meng Yuanzhou quickly grabbed the sword.

Zhu Ci looked depressed, looking down at the water, as if he had some unresolved knot in his heart.

"Brother! What's wrong with you? Is there a ghost pulling you? Reach out quickly!" Wu Yi went to the swimming pool and asked Zhuci.

Congratulations: "..."

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "It's okay, let me wash it on top."

Then he raised his eyes to look at Meng Yuanzhou and changed the subject.

"Why are you holding the sword?"

Meng Yuanzhou's eyes widened in shock, and he was dissatisfied with his kindness being taken for granted: "If I don't catch it, it will stab you to death."

Zhu Ci looked quite calm, even looking at him as if he were a fool: "This sword can't be put into water, right?"

"right."

"Its only target is my heart. When my heart is underwater, it won't attack me." Zhu Ci said.

Meng Yuanzhou: “…”

He blinked, and a moment later suddenly let go: "Why didn't you tell me earlier! I'm so tired!"

He fell backwards right onto the edge of the swimming pool, his strength constantly being sucked away by the sword he was holding, which really drained a lot of his energy.

Wu Yi asked: "Then why don't you go ashore?"

Zhuci asked, "What do you think this water is?"

Wu Yi glanced at the pool that seemed to have a bottom that he could see through, and said, "Isn't it water?"

Congratulations: "..." His face looked a little ugly.

"What floats on the surface is water, and what goes under the water... is serum."

"Blood, serum?"

Zhu Ci took a deep breath and said, "It is very likely that the water under the pool is the amniotic fluid of a mother nurturing her baby."

So this sword cannot go into water, because the amniotic fluid is where the baby is protected.

"Forehead..."

"What?" another player suddenly asked.

"What does it matter? Come up quickly." Meng Yuanzhou also sat up and looked at Zhu Ci.

"...Wait, I think I know." Wu Yi scratched his head, seeming to want to laugh.

"In the early stages, amniotic fluid is mostly the mother's serum, but in the later stages it's just some waste fluid. Ahem... But don't worry, brother. These babies have become ghosts, so they should be clean."

Meng Yuanzhou also reacted. Oh, it turned out that Zhu Ci had a gloomy face, as if something big had happened, because he was concerned about his close contact with dirty things.

"That's nothing. In the dungeon, there are even cases where a person is buried in the intestines of a monster."

Congratulations: "..."

It's okay. The copy should just simulate the environment and will not extract so much serum. What's on it is really clean water.

No wonder only those who dive underwater get soaking wet.

Zhu Ci came out of the water, grabbed the sword and sat down beside it. Even if he got soaked, it would dry up in a few hours at most in the dungeon. He wouldn't catch a cold if he went out anyway, so he just let it go despite the discomfort.

"So you went into the water just to feel the water quality up close?" Meng Yuanzhou joked.

Congratulations: "..."

He narrowed his eyes and stared at him for a while, then said, "Find a way to contact Li Xiaoyan. Only she can carry out the next plan."

Because she took the baby away, it was like taking away the only switch underwater.

If his association was correct, the two babies were twins, and the space was also twins. To some extent, the two were the keys corresponding to the two spaces. Whatever child the mother gave birth to would open up the corresponding world on that side. The world connected to the passage of the pool before should be here. If he was pulled into it at that time, he would be used as a hatching tool by countless free-moving baby ghosts, or he would be torn to pieces directly.

And now, the place where Li Xiaoyan is being taken by that normal child should be the world where they were originally going, the world of nannies.

And if this is the case, there are actually two stone statues that the players can touch.

One is the current evil-looking stone statue, and the other is the kind-looking stone statue of Li Xiaoyan's mother in the space where she is.

This swimming pool is a passage and the stone statue is the switch.

If they replaced the baby's umbilical cord at 11:44, would they be able to reverse the space again?

Meng Yuanzhou said: "Okay, I'll contact him."

"Wait, brother, there are footsteps, but they are not human footsteps." Wu Yi interrupted them.

The player stood up suddenly: "It must be those things! The longer the time goes, the more those guys eat, the more dissatisfied they will be, and then they will leave the kitchen and start looking for food!"

Wu Yi was startled: "Ah? What should I do?"

Zhu Ci looked at the sword in his hand and said, "They definitely can't do anything to us right now."

As long as he stabs the sword into their hearts, these things will not be able to continue eating, which would be too bad, so the best way is to control him first.

I wonder what method the ghost baby has prepared to control him?

…

When Li Xiaoyan fell into the pool, the baby in her arms suddenly came alive.

The baby opened his eyes and looked at Li Xiaoyan.

Li Xiaoyan was startled and accidentally loosened her hand.

However, the baby suddenly moved and swam towards a certain place. Li Xiaoyan had not forgotten Zhuci's instructions and hurried to catch up.

However, the baby was so fast that she could hardly catch him even if she swam quickly to catch up.

People feel dull in water, and their senses seem to slow down. Perhaps that was why she felt safe.

Suddenly, a ball of light appeared in front of her eyes, like an exit, attracting her to move forward, and she even forgot to look back.

"Blah!"

Li Xiaoyan stuck her head out of the pool.

The light before her eyes made her feel as if she had been away for a long time. In this copy of time, every minute seemed particularly long. Three short days seemed like a lifetime.

It's daytime.

"mother."

The tender and lovely voice of a child rang in her ears, and Li Xiaoyan finally noticed the baby.

He put his hand into his mouth and sucked it, his eyes innocent and the words he just said seemed to have been accidentally blurted out when he was just learning to speak.

Li Xiaoyan's heart suddenly softened.

She stepped out of the pool.

She has been separated from Meng Yuanzhou, but because of the props, she can still sense that the other person is alive.

Where exactly is this place?

After the child climbed out of the swimming pool, he closed his eyes again and returned to his previous state of sleeping in another world.

Li Xiaoyan was slightly confused, picked up the child and walked out.

After leaving here, she clearly realized that this place was the previous nursery, but there was no ghostly aura here.

Not only was there no sign of any ghosts, there wasn't even a nanny to be seen.

What is going on?

Li Xiaoyan looked towards the swimming pool. If she wanted to go back, could she just go back into the water?

She looked hesitantly at the baby in her arms.

“Tick, tick, tick…”

There were brisk footsteps in the corridor.

Li Xiaoyan frowned and looked in the direction of the attack vigilantly.

But she saw a little boy.

Yes, not a ghost, but a normal NPC boy.

The little boy looked at her with curiosity and timidity in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Li Xiaoyan said to him, "Hello."

The little boy rolled his eyes, tilted his head back and nodded, then turned around and ran away again.

Since there was only this kid like him in this place, Li Xiaoyan chased after him.

The child's speed was normal and his direction was not somewhere else but the front stage.

Li Xiaoyan saw the stone statue.

The statues looked just as they had when they first arrived.

Another time and space, Li Xiaoyan thought.

Recalling the change in the statue's facial expression before, Li Xiaoyan suddenly understood something.

It turns out that there have always been two spaces in this copy, and the point where the two spaces intersect is one in the swimming pool and the other in the stone statue.

She is not stupid either.

The little boy sat down and played beside the statue.

Li Xiaoyan squatted down and asked him, "Little boy, do you have any wishes?"

The little boy raised his head and thought for a while, with a little joy on his face: "I love mom very much, and I want to be with mom forever."

Inseparable from mom?

Li Xiaoyan glanced at the child in her arms, looking hesitant.

She glanced at the belly of the stone statue again. She had witnessed with her own eyes the ghost baby reaching out and cutting open the hard belly of the stone statue, revealing what looked like real flesh and blood inside.

She looked at the little boy, her expression suddenly turned frightened. He had always been inseparable from his mother, so this couldn't be what she guessed now.

"Return to my mother's belly and become one with her."

So would a seemingly normal child also lie on his mother's belly at night, tear open her belly and try to get in?

The child in Li Xiaoyan's arms was still sleeping. At this moment, she already felt the horror of being isolated and helpless.

There are many pieces of information that have not been confirmed by Zhu Ci. If she opens the statue's belly and puts the child in, will she be able to see them smoothly? But what good will it bring?
