Chapter 155
White light covered the sky and the earth, occupying all vision.
After the white light faded, Yu Tu found that the ground beneath his feet became soft, and before him was an endless beach.
Di Changqing also appeared on the beach, but he fell face down on the beach. When Di Changqing got up, his expression was a little gloomy. He wiped the sand off his face and felt the narrow-mindedness of the owner of the memory fragment.
Originally it was supposed to "self-destruct" in the middle of the greenhouse, using its resentment to harvest the lives of ordinary people around it to feed back the tempering of the mermaid skeleton. However, after the mutation, a small portion of its power turned into resentment to attack the barrier, and most of it actually materialized memory fragments, pulling in everyone within the range of the resentment!
Di Changqing raised his head and glanced at Buye Hou who was not far away, and his fear grew three points stronger. He did not believe that the barrier was broken layer by layer, and it was just a coincidence of good luck that the last one was left to block the possible aftermath - this was clearly a casual calculation by the man not far away!
Marquis of Buye...where did he come from?
While Di Changqing's mind was twisting and turning, Yu Tu just looked at the beach and blinked blankly.
Afterlife? Illusion? Memory fragments? Or something else?
He just sensed that after the mutated mermaid skeleton, its attack power would no longer be as high as before, and the impact of the explosion would be greatly reduced, but he could not see the more specific core changes. He could only hurry up to add an energy barrier to the greenhouse and personal protection to himself, and take one step at a time.
It's just... Yu Tu moved his toes to feel the real touch of the sand under his feet, then looked back at Di Changqing, whose face was as gloomy as if someone owed him a million or eight hundred thousand, and truly felt a sense of confusion due to insufficient knowledge reserves.
He has really been making progress, but this kind of effort is like studying seriously in class, but when the teacher gives you the final exam, more than half of the questions are beyond the textbook and beyond the syllabus.
Di Zhangqing's expression became even uglier as he was stared at. He gave a kind smile and said, "Senior, can you give me a hand?"
Yu Tu: “…”
It really sounds like "Senior, can I give you a knife?"
Seeing that Marquis Buye didn't answer him, Di Changqing slowly climbed up from the beach, patted the sand off his body, and walked a few steps in the direction of Marquis Buye when his feet suddenly felt empty - he had inexplicably stepped into a sand pit and his foot was pinched by a crab.
Di Changqing: “…”
In the materialized memory fragments, the mermaid consciousness is the master of the fragments. Even though that part of the consciousness is now unable to control the direction of the entire fragment, there is no problem in making some small changes.
So, while walking on the beach, Yu Tu was fortunate enough to see the "possession of the mold god", including but not limited to being stung by a poisonous jellyfish flying out of the sea; finding an extremely sharp stone in the soft sand; and finding a piece of broken glass in the eye when he fell into the sand pit...
If it weren't for Di Changqing's agility and quick reflexes, he would have witnessed "108 Beach Accidents That Can Kill You".
After Di Changqing crushed a squid that crawled up from the shore and got his face covered with ink, Yu Tu couldn't help it and clenched his fist to cover the corner of his raised lips.
Di Changqing used his spiritual power to cast a cleansing spell on himself. If expressions had color, it would now be about the same black as the ink that had just been sprayed all over his face.
Di Changqing used his spiritual power to cut the squid into eight pieces. The sand on the ground rolled up and buried the squid fragments. He stared at the endless calm sea and felt his mood was worse than ever.
"Senior Buyehou," Di Changqing asked in a tone that was frighteningly calm, "How long do we have to walk on the beach before the main body of the memory fragment actually appears?"
The condition of Buyehou on the beach was completely opposite to his. Even if he walked beside him, he was not affected by his "possession by the mold god".
He heard Buyehou say: "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you think this beach is beautiful?"
Di Changqing: “……?”
Facing Di Changqing, who seemed like a bomb that could explode at any time, Yu Tu was also unsure. Anyway, Di Changqing had already misunderstood him as a capable boss, and now he was going to weld the mysterious label to his body!
How could he know where the main body of the memory fragment was? He was even now certain that what he had entered was really a memory fragment, and not something else...
Yu Tu felt the gold-eating beast No. 3 in his body. Before, it was smaller than the disappeared No. 1 and the soon-to-disappear No. 2, but now it is a circle larger than all of them - building a barrier really consumes a lot of energy.
Yu Tu stopped on the beach to answer Di Changqing's question. The sea water surged up and retreated when it was still one step away from him. Yu Tu saw a white pearl the size of a fingernail hidden in the sand.
Di Changqing had been unlucky all along the way. Yu Tu walked beside him and was always alert, worried that he would be implicated. He didn't dare to pick up beautiful shells and conchs he saw on the road, suspecting that it was a trap set on the beach.
Now he used the excuse that "the beach is beautiful" and simply bent down to pick up the pearls in the sand.
After he picked up this ordinary white pearl, a ship suddenly appeared on the endless calm sea.
Di Changqing narrowed his eyes.
As they walked along, they saw scattered pearl shells and conchs on the road. Even though they looked ordinary, Di Changqing picked out some of them and tested them with his spiritual power. They were just ordinary memory fragments and scenes that materialized.
Was it because he was unlucky and missed the key to activating the memory body, or did the Buyehou know everything from beginning to end and was just waiting for him to speak up and implicitly admit defeat?
Yu Tu was unaware of Di Changqing's complex psychological activities. It was only after he picked up the pearl that he felt that the spiritual energy fluctuations around him seemed to have changed. When he raised his eyes and saw the ship on the sea—
Yu Tu: “!!!”
This should be the memory subject!
He is so lucky that he doesn't have to spend energy trying things out and continue to be in debt!
The ship that suddenly appeared had its sails hoisted and was moving slowly forward. On the deck of the ship stood a young man with a blurry face, who seemed to be looking at the scenery on the ship. Under the boat, unclear ripples slowly spread out, and vaguely one could see what seemed to be a strange object under the water.
"Is this the first encounter between the merman and Baili Xiangxun?" Di Zhangqing obviously knew something, but not everything. He guessed with interest, "The hero saves the beauty? The beauty saves the hero?"
In Western stories, the mermaid saved the prince. How would the story develop in Eastern stories?
They watched from the shore and saw the ripples become more violent. A gorgeous blue-purple tail swung a few inches underwater and spread out like a flower.
Then, a figure slithered onto the boat and roughly knocked down the young man who was looking at the scenery on the deck.
Hmm...be it the hero saving the beauty or the beauty saving the hero, it doesn't seem to be relevant.
The figure that knocked the young man down was an equally young and pretty girl. She was kneeling on one knee on the poor guy's chest, her elbow against his throat, the sharpened shell of her clam across his neck, faintly oozing with blood.
In addition to the content, her voice is also pleasant: "Be honest, robbery!"
The noise they made on the deck was quite loud, and the people in the cabin quickly came out, each with a weapon in hand, and they slowly surrounded them in a semi-arc.
The girl made an impatient "tsk".
It was difficult to see her movements, but her body was incredibly lithe, and she was always able to dodge the attacking weapons at all unexpected angles. Within the time it took to drink a cup of tea, everyone in the cabin was beaten into black and blue faces - the first young man who was hit was not spared either, and the girl made up for him, the main point being that everyone was treated equally.
The defeated men were piled up on the deck. The girl leaned against the side of the boat, playing with the sharp shells in her hands, with an arrogant look on her face: "From today on, I am your boss. Anyone who doesn't accept me can stand up!"
The only response she got was the painful groans from Class A.
Di Zhangqing and Buyehou watched this series of developments, and their brain circuits strangely synchronized for a moment—
……ah?
