Chapter 462 You Hold Me, Otherwise I’m Scared
Xu Chen's eyes suddenly widened. "You...you are not a player! You are a ghost...a ghost..."
The midwife swallowed his heart and said with satisfaction, "What ghost is this? I am a tiger shark, and seahorses are tiger sharks' food."
The midwife moved so quickly that Xu Chen didn't have time to use the high-level joker card.
Bang--!
His body fell to the ground. The midwife squatted down, cut open his stomach with her long, sharp nails, and then dug out the flesh and blood bit by bit and ate it.
Not long after, Xu Chen's bones were gnawed to pieces by the midwife, and his soul was swallowed by her.
"Who's next?"
The midwife touched her face excitedly, and when she stood up again, her face and body had turned into Xu Chen's!
She also followed Xu Chen's habit and pushed the thin-rimmed glasses on her face.
There was a sound of wailing in the bamboo house.
Because Xu Chen let these tiger sharks in, all the seahorses were killed by the tiger sharks.
The tiger sharks squatted on the ground excitedly, enjoying the fresh food. When they had almost finished eating, the bones and blood on the ground disappeared.
The tiger shark's identity is strange, and its appearance has changed, becoming the seahorse in this room.
Song Mang and others were in another bamboo house. They couldn't see what was happening here, but they could hear screams.
Xiao Junze couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling and his eyelids kept twitching.
He couldn't help but say, "They were screaming so miserably. Are those people still alive? Oh, by the way, I have Xu Chen's contact information. I can send him a message and ask."
Before he could send a message, the door of the bamboo house not far away opened and "Xu Chen" walked out.
Song Mang stood by the window and observed, and found that the strangeness in the other bamboo house had disappeared, but the players were still in the house.
The male seahorses that had growths on their bellies have returned to normal, and the tumors on their bellies have disappeared.
However, among those players who returned to normal, some had shadows on their bodies, while others did not.
"Xu Chen" walked towards the bamboo house.
"Is anyone there? Open the door. I want to hide here for a while. It's not safe over there."
The gap in the door of the bamboo house is quite large, so everyone can see "Xu Chen" outside through the door.
Song Mang walked over and took a look, and found a shadow at the feet of this "Xu Chen", but she intuitively knew that this Xu Chen was no longer the real Xu Chen.
Song Mang then said, "We are already full here and have no room left. Please go somewhere else."
Xu Chen's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, and he continued, "My body has returned to normal, and I know how to help everyone recover.
Let me in, I can tell you for free and help you recover."
"unnecessary."
As soon as Song Mang finished speaking, other players ran over and looked at the "Xu Chen" outside.
"He really did recover. How did he recover? Can you tell us directly?"
Xu Chen sneered, "As my companion, you won't even let me into the house, so why should I tell you?"
"this……"
The male players looked at Song Mang, then looked at the strange tumor growing on his stomach.
Not all players in this bamboo house are members of the Hexagram.
Some players were moved when they saw that "Xu Chen" had returned to normal.
"Why don't we let him in? He doesn't seem to be in any trouble. I remember he's a friend of Master Xiao's!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Junze glanced at Song Mang before saying, "Forget it. I feel like he's dead. I guess he's not the same Xu Chen anymore."
"Isn't he still standing there? He looks just like a living person!"
Xiao Junze stared at "Xu Chen" and found that this guy actually had a shadow.
He was confused for a moment.
"Huh? Why does he have a shadow? Aren't weirdos pretending to be humans usually not shadows?"
"Maybe my abilities have gotten stronger."
Song Mang said thoughtfully.
"If my guess is correct, the players are all seahorses, and the weirdos in town are tiger sharks. They can hunt and eat the players, disguise themselves as seahorses, sneak into the houses of other seahorses, and then eat them.
As they eat more and more seahorses, they can disguise themselves as more and more players, and their disguise becomes stronger, making it difficult for the seahorses to see through them."
"And what is a hunter?"
Someone asked.
Song Mang explained, "It should be an identity that can restrain and eliminate tiger sharks. Perhaps only when the hunters help to deal with all the tiger sharks can we pass the level."
Song Mang had just checked inside the bamboo house and didn't find anything like a shrine.
This shows that the bamboo house can prevent tiger sharks from coming in, but it is not a safe house in the true sense.
"Who is the hunter?"
Someone else asked.
This time, Song Mang didn't say anything, and the others also shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.
Song Mang walked over to Xi Jinzhi and asked him using telepathy, "Do you have any way to get rid of the tiger shark? What does the sacrifice mentioned in the rules mean?"
"If I can't break the formation here, even if I can deal with those tiger sharks, they will still exist, just like the NPCs in a game dungeon, they will keep reappearing."
Xi Jinzhi thought for a moment and said, "As for what sacrifice is, I don't know either. We may need to explore it ourselves."
"Then let's go out and take a look together?"
Song Mang blinked and said, "Tiger sharks cannot enter the house. The place for sacrifice must not be inside the bamboo house, but somewhere else in the town.
Let's go for a walk outside and find the center of the formation in the third round."
"Um."
He murmured in agreement.
Just as the two were about to leave through another door of the bamboo house, Song Mang thought of the hunter's rules again.
[Hunters can leave the third floor by sacrificing a tiger shark, but please do not reveal your identity easily, as you will be isolated and helpless and may be sacrificed by the tiger shark.]
According to the logic of this rule, Xi Jinzhi's identity is the key to their passage.
His identity cannot be discovered by Tiger Shark.
If the tiger shark noticed and sacrificed him in advance, it would probably mean that the tiger shark won, and the human player would not be able to leave the third level.
Song Mang stuffed his own paper money into Xi Jinzhi's hand and said, "Let me exchange with you. It will be more convenient for you to go out as a male seahorse."
Song Mang looked at the other male seahorses, then at Xi Jinzhi, grinning, "You should get pregnant too."
Xi Jinzhi: “…………”
He didn't really care about being discovered.
However, he heard Song Mang muttering, "Use your magic to create one. When we get out later, as a female seahorse, I will definitely protect you!"
She leaned close to his ear and told him some other arrangements, but he couldn't hear clearly.
As she approached, he could clearly feel her breath and her warm breath, which made him frown a little uncomfortably.
But he didn't push Song Mang away, he just said, "I didn't hear clearly, please say it again."
“……?”
Song Mang looked at him speechlessly.
Feeling that she had left his side, Xi Jinzhi inexplicably felt a little lost in his heart, but he couldn't explain why.
I just really like the feeling of her being close to me.
Warm.
Hot.
Like a little sun.
Then, Song Mang transmitted his voice directly into his mind and said it again loudly, "Did you hear it clearly now? Is your hearing impaired because you are too old?"
Xi Jinzhi rubbed his temples. "Got it. There's no need to shout so loudly to transmit the message. And I'm not hard of hearing. I was just thinking about something else just now."
"Then follow my plan, is that okay with you?"
"Um."
Xi Jinzhi followed her instructions and used magic to create a tumor on his stomach.
Song Mang first walked out of the back door of the bamboo house, and the strange tiger sharks outside had not noticed them yet.
She was observing the environment outside when she suddenly felt her wrist tighten.
His large, cold hand with distinct joints had grasped her wrist tightly. He said nonchalantly, "Didn't you say you would protect me? Why are you walking so fast?"
Song Mang thought that he had just been two meters away from him, what could have happened?
Besides, he's a hunter!
It's just a pretend seahorse!
Suddenly, he said softly, "Hold my hand and walk with me, or I'll be scared."
Song Mang:?
Song Mang turned to look at him in shock, unable to believe that this was what he could say, and then saw a sharp blade appear out of thin air behind Xi Jinzhi's head!
The sharp blade stabbed fiercely at the back of his head.
