Chapter 148 Rose Hairpin
When I woke up again, Sawyers and I were separated.
I am now in a black dungeon, which is filled with water, which is about up to my calves - and then my blood should be drawn.
I looked at the wound on my arm that was carelessly and unconcealed. I thought some body tissue had been taken from it. I just didn't know if my internal organs were okay.
[…The internal organs are still intact, don't worry.]
Waterloo, the Waterloo of my life.
I have never suffered such a great injustice in my life!
[…There’s no host, I was just tricked.]
Don't make it sound so easy! This is an insult to my career.
[Xiaoyu actually just asked me to go out and make them all go crazy——]
No, no, no, you see, those masked men held on in that church-like place before, who knows what special methods this Ansar has.
I have a psychological trauma on him now!
How can someone still be alive after having their head torn off?!
Is this still human???
[Ahem, you're a cub now, so your abilities are definitely not as good as an adult.]
This should be a dungeon. I don't know where Sawyers is imprisoned. Is he just separating us temporarily or is he planning to keep us separated forever?
It's common in novels to train brothers separately and then let them turn against each other and kill each other.
If he and I were really just ordinary brothers, maybe it would be possible.
But we have a golden finger.
I turned on the pager at my waist.
#Brother, are you awake?
#…Brother? Where are you? It's so dark here.
His voice seemed to have a hint of tears.
I listened carefully to the sounds around me, but there was no other sound except the sound of water under my feet.
Damn, Sawyers and I are locked up really far away or there's some kind of soundproof magic or something.
This is the first time we've been apart since we were born.
Not only was I a little uncomfortable, but Sawyers was even more uncomfortable.
He is only three years old...he is not yet the future boss who will be able to handle things with ease.
In an instant, Villar appeared in front of me, floating in the air to avoid getting his clothes wet.
"You can't be held here...but do you still want to stay here?"
He asked me this.
There's nothing I can do. I'm really concerned about what seeds Ansar is talking about - but I can't alert the enemy. Villar can at least go and appease Sawyers.
"Go help that kid."
I said to him.
Verar nodded and instantly passed through the top cage.
#I'll let Veraer find you.
I said this to Sawyers.
I began to study the seeds in my body.
Thanks to the experience in the previous world, it was not difficult to look inside my own body, and I discovered that thing almost the moment I looked inside.
In my head.
...This is troublesome.
How did he get in?!
I touched the metal ring around my neck.
Did it go through an artery or something?
It was a red, tumor-like thing with dense tentacles attached to my brain. Removing it roughly would definitely cause some problems to my brain.
It turns out that one should not be arrogant, otherwise the car will overturn.
I really need the system now, so I turned off my pager for the time being and started calling people immediately.
[I'm here, host.]
How can I get that thing out of my head without getting caught?
[…That might not be possible in the short term. The safest way is to slowly devour it with something.]
Tell me, are you going to spend my points again?
【……】
[Host, I am your system, not a capitalist who wants to drain your money! ]
【You have props you can use! 】
ah?
What do I have?
[Although it's not a system product, it's based on the time-space paradox... Never mind, it doesn't matter. You have a rose hairpin.]
Rose Head gave it to me. Isn't that hairpin supposed to summon Rose Head? Can I still summon him here?
[No, no, no, that really is a time-space paradox—]
[There are two seeds in the rose hairpin. You can plant them in your brain and the protagonist's brain.]
It will devour the thing itself.
I understand that this is using magic to defeat magic.
——But there are exactly two of them, so it’s hard to say that this is not a precautionary measure. However, this involves the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg, and I don’t think I can go into it too deeply.
Anyway, it's good that it can be solved.
The hairpin appeared in my hand. It had a rose pattern made of gems on it, and I noticed that there were two golden impurities in the gem in the middle.
It's a seed.
Now the question was how to get it out and how to put it into my head and Sawyers's head.
Force it open and stuff it in?
[…You just open it and stuff it in?! This is too much!?]
Cough cough.
There are no instructions for use, so you can't blame me.
【……】
[Place the gemstone side on your forehead.]
I did as I was told, and from a place I couldn't see, the gem emitted a faint red light. Then I felt a heat between my eyebrows. I took the hairpin off, and there was one seed missing from it.
I looked at my brain again and searched for a long time before I found a dark green bud in a very hidden corner, just below the tumor.
Okay, okay, now my brain has more and more things in it. I hope it won’t compress my blood vessels and affect my IQ...
So how long will this thing last?
[It will take at least three years to completely devour this without being discovered.]
Doesn't that mean I have to be obedient, endure humiliation, and work hard for the next three years?
[It's all because of your carelessness! If you had been more careful, you wouldn't have been implanted with this thing so easily.]
Although I was indeed careless, Asu Yue and Sawyers were in his hands - I couldn't run away. Even if I had dodged that time, I would still be parasitized with Asu Yue and Sawyers in his hands!
Especially Asu Yue, when will that world restriction be lifted?! It can't be permanent, right?
[Don't worry, I've helped you communicate with the world consciousness. It's like a protection program, and this kind of program will definitely not last more than ten years!]
…
Well, it turns out that the script in this world is the script of the return of the Dragon King who endures humiliation.
I said before that it was not so easy to get the script of being the group's favorite, and now the price has been paid!
But I can still accept this result. It doesn't matter who restricts me.
Just think of yourself as working for a lunatic, just changing your boss. Real office workers always adapt quickly.
The pager at my waist vibrated.
[Xiaoyu...something's not right with Sawyers.]
I quickly turned on my pager.
#Brother...Sangsang, where are you?
#Brother, what's wrong with you? !
——I just solved a brain problem, why does Sawyers sound so weak!!!
Almost in an instant, the "Ice Sword Xuan" that I hadn't seen for a long time appeared in my hand. I chopped it down at the railing above my head, and the ice instantly froze it and shattered it.
The bracelet turned into white hair tentacles and instantly carried me upwards, pulling me out of the dungeon.
I put away the sword and rubbed my frozen hands. This sword needs to be used with ice-type skills, and my current body is completely unable to use it - but considering that my bone spurs are also ice-type, my mermaid form might be able to use it.
Now is not the time to think about that.
#I'll come to you right away.
I told him this. Verar had already marked Sawyers' location for me. I looked around. This was a dungeon complex. It was so quiet that it was a bit eerie. There must have been some kind of silencing or soundproofing magic. I rushed towards my destination - after all, the Ansar people would probably know the moment I broke into the dungeon, and there was not much time left.
Thanks again to my inhuman body, even though I'm only three years old, my strength and speed far exceed those of a normal person.
After running for five minutes, I finally arrived at the location, and I also felt the oppressive atmosphere around me. I looked down at the dungeon and saw Villar holding Sawyers. He was crying silently in his arms. When he saw me, his expression finally changed.
Villar opened the door of the dungeon, held him and floated up steadily, and landed on the ground. Sawyers reached out to pull me, and I quickly grabbed him.
"I'm sorry... Brother, you're so useless."
He said with sobs.
There was no time to simulate human voice at this time, so I quickly hugged him and patted his back, and by the way, put the hairpin in my hair on his forehead.
He is only three years old, so there is still a lot of room for improvement.
I suspect he's suffering from separation anxiety, so it's normal for him to have a meltdown.
Even if it's a small monster, it's still a cub.
…
Then we were surrounded by the people who came, and Villar had disappeared at this time - the reason we didn't run away was because Asu Yue was here and we couldn't run away. Secondly, there was no need to run if we could solve the problems in our minds.
There were six people surrounding us, and they all looked very alert.
Maybe it was because the incident when Sawyers and I teamed up to twist off Ansar's head and steal the metal pipe did have a certain deterrent effect.
I also believe that these people would never wake up even if their heads were twisted off.
Then I didn't expect Sawyers to make the first move. He stretched out his hand, and his golden eyes, which were particularly eye-catching in the dim dungeon, lit up.
"Go away."
He said so.
Then six people flew out in different directions, hitting the wall and making quite a noise.
More people rushed up and were all pushed back by him. Then I also stabbed them a few more times. I felt good that I could make Ansar unhappy.
Since he didn't kill us in the first place, all I can say is that I believed in the value of Sawyers and me.
Come on, Sawyers is the protagonist!
——And most likely, by now Ansar should know that Sawyers and I are the legendary "mermans".
Since we are so precious, we will not be punished for this "little mistake".
Until I felt a sharp pain in my neck again and felt dizzy so that we both lost our balance and fell to the ground, I knew that the person I was waiting for had arrived.
The pair of hand-embossed leather shoes appeared in my sight.
Then I felt someone pick me up.
"—you just spent six hours away from each other and lost control."
"My little mermaids are too fragile."
The man's voice was elegant and a little proud.
"Let me think about how to punish you this time."
I couldn't help but roll my eyes inwardly.
Are you really using the same method you would use to discipline a pet to teach us a lesson?
"uncle……"
Sawyers looked at him, tears in her golden eyes.
"Don't separate me from my brother."
"I...I will be obedient."
His tears seemed to be about to flow.
Wait a minute... what is this???
I know this kid is pretending - is he only three years old and has such natural acting skills? Or is he really not pretending?
It shouldn't be!
He is black from the bottom of his heart!
[…I think this is a kind of wild instinct of living things to seek benefits and avoid harm.]
What this means is that the protagonist has now decided to please the man in front of her based on instinct in order to avoid being separated from me, right...?
"Of course... Sawyers, dear, I won't let you be separated again."
The man's voice was deep, "You are now my most precious children."
"Your crying is breaking my heart."
I:……
Trouble is, it looks like both of us are worth more than I thought.
I haven't forgotten that this is an organization that sells monsters. What he said means is that the two of us are now his most expensive commodities.
So the most important thing now is, at what age does he plan to sell us?
Do I still have time? The three-year period has come for the Dragon King to return!
I buried my head in Sawyers' arms in pain and became a little withdrawn.
"Of course...Sindra doesn't have to worry."
The man said this, then carried us outside.
It was daylight outside, but I felt the road ahead for Sawyers and me was dark.
There is no future in this career.
What happened to the promise that "Xiaomei's happy life" can bring good luck in career?
So prosperous that you sell yourself out???
