Chapter 184 Mermaid Pollution
"Is this contamination level contagious?" Lin Xia asked as she walked out of the house, spreading her mental energy in all directions.
Lin Xia felt that this upgrade to the survival game was gradually revealing the truth, and that what people were encountering was likely the negative reality that had always existed in this world.
She saw Ji Wei and the others. When she scanned them with her spiritual power, she could see the black pollution in their spiritual bodies, though it was very little. Ji Wei was practicing a body-tempering technique at the time.
As Lin Xia walked and observed, she discovered that not everyone returned with a pollution level; those with lower mental strength, on the contrary, had no problems.
Pollution doesn't exist either, but what exactly is this blackness? Lin Xia traveled through four islands, and each person passed through her mental energy once.
Lin Xia flashed in front of a person, who could no longer be called a person, but a fish... and an aggressive fish at that.
"Who are you, and what are you doing in our house?"
"Hey, I'm talking to you. How did you get into our house?"
The woman shouted a few times, a little frightened, and opened the door: "Guards! Where are the guards? Someone has broken into our property!"
In Lin Xia's eyes, the fish was completely black. Lin Xia used spatial isolation to drag the mermaid out.
There are also mermaids on Dongcheng Island. In the early stages, she observed many mermaids, whether they successfully remained or even returned to human form, or lost their minds and became mermaids.
Those people's spiritual bodies were all very clean. She saw it when she was looking around the island earlier; those people's spiritual bodies were also very clean.
Did you use anything special on him?
Hearing Lin Xia's question, a guilty look flashed in the woman's eyes, then she raised her head and said, "What are you talking about? What I eat is what he eats. What's it to you?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the robot patrol team arrived.
The woman immediately pointed at Lin Xia: "It's her! She suddenly appeared in my house and broke into my home!"
The onlookers whispered among themselves about Lin Xia and the mermaid.
"This person looks familiar..."
"This mermaid is very fierce; she keeps people awake every night."
"Yes, why didn't we send him to Dongcheng Island? They could help with his treatment there. It's obvious there's something wrong with him."
......
Upon hearing this, the woman turned around and began to curse.
"Island Master".
The patrol robot's single sentence left the woman speechless, as if a rooster had been choked, and fear flashed in her eyes.
"Does being the island owner give you the right to trespass on private property? Nobody says mermaids can't be kept at home, right? He's my man, and I can keep him if I want, and nobody else can interfere!" The woman's voice became even shrewder.
Lin Xia frowned: "I said, have you given him anything special to eat or use?"
The woman was about to speak again, but Lin Xia impatiently muted her microphone and locked her in a separate space. He then used his mental energy to access her spatial ring and found more than a dozen bottles of reagent-like substances.
Upon receiving it, Lin Xia frowned; the contents inside gave her a very uneasy feeling.
Seeing the woman clutching her neck and nearly suffocating in the alternate dimension, Lin Xia released her: "Where did this come from?"
Fear filled the woman's eyes. She was panting heavily, tears streaming down her face, her lips trembling as she said, "Bo Yan and his men gave it to me. They said... that if I used this, the scales would fall off automatically, and I wouldn't have to suffer the pain of having them plucked."
"What's the use of not being able to maintain consciousness?" Lin Xia frowned.
"They said...they said he would regain his senses once the scales were completely covered."
The crowd, who had been startled by the woman's appearance, had now come to their senses and were mostly looking at Lin Xia with reverence. She was the one who had given them a peaceful life, and upon hearing the woman's words, they all frowned.
Aren't you afraid that your husband might really lose consciousness?
"You actually believe this kind of talk? Where did this person come from? I've never even heard of them before. They just spout a few empty words and you believed them?"
"Look at him, does he seem sober? The way he cries at night, what's the difference between him and a wild beast?"
"Yeah, I thought mermaids really sang beautifully, but I didn't expect them to be so creepy."
......
At this moment, Lazy Cat and Ji Wei had already run over. Ji Wei had now handed over the island's security to Lazy Cat, and the two of them rushed over as soon as they received the news.
The two noticed the problem as soon as they arrived; the black contamination on this person's body was almost 100%.
In their game world, a pollution level of 100% meant they were contagious. The two looked serious and their hearts were pounding.
Lin Xia saw the two of them and said, "Everyone on the island is strictly prohibited from using anything from Boyan. If it is found, the person who used it will be killed! The participant will be expelled and never allowed to set foot on the island again."
"Issue arrest warrants in my name: kill anyone who has taken these drugs, and kill any of Boyan's men who are found to be in possession of them!"
"Publish the facts and consequences of the pollution so that everyone knows. Contact all gathering places, report relevant information, collect all information about Boyan, and reward those who provide information with energy stones."
"Yes!" Lazy Cat's voice was loud and clear. Lin Xia glanced at him and was about to leave when the woman on the ground got up.
"I haven't taken any medication, I'm not leaving! What are you going to do to my husband?"
Ji Wei grabbed her and made her shut up. After Lin Xia left, he dragged her to the beach and watched her row away in a boat before everyone dispersed.
Ji Wei and Lazy Cat, who had already left, appeared in the sea.
"Sister Wei, what are we doing here?"
Sensing the waves growing larger, the lazy cat opened its mouth but remained silent. The waves continued to surge, but Ji Wei controlled them, preventing any innocent people from being submerged.
The woman who had been driven away had not been out to sea for a long time. When the waves came, she was swept away without any resistance and was submerged, sinking to the bottom of the sea, never to rise again.
"Sister Wei, you did the right thing. Sister Qi has her concerns and doesn't care about these people, but we can't let them ruin things." Lazy Cat put away his playful smile, his childish face unusually serious.
Ji Wei smiled and said, "Don't you think I'm heartless?"
"Sister Wei, we've all been through all sorts of apocalyptic struggles. Who's really a naive and innocent person? Seventh Sister doesn't care about these people, but we should get rid of those who are easily swayed to avoid future trouble." Lazy Cat laughed again.
Ji Wei rolled her eyes: "Then I'll leave this kind of thing to you from now on."
Lazy Cat laughed: "No one is as convenient as you when it comes to things at sea. If it's someone from the island, Sister Wei, you can rest assured to leave them to me."
"It's a deal, isn't it?" Ji Wei led the two of them out of the pool next to her villa.
"So cautious?" Lazy Cat asked in surprise.
"We have to be careful. I'm the deputy island lord, and my image is important to Dongcheng Island. If this gets photographed, we won't be able to explain ourselves." Ji Wei raised his hand, and the two of them were completely dry.
"What are you doing here? Let's go, Seventh Sister just gave us the list, we need to go and keep watch." Xie Cheng saw the two of them as he passed by and called out to them.
"What list?"
"The polluted mermaid."
