Chapter 228 Mermaid
"You started on the very first day?" Jiang Lin calculated the time. It had only been 48 hours since they entered the instance, but Jiang Yu had already been experimenting for at least a day and a night. They must have been among the very first batch of passengers who were captured.
Cao Lu nodded helplessly.
On the first day of the instance, Jiang Yu saw Song Yan and his two companions being taken away by NPCs, and he devised several plans. The group dispersed to gather information, and finally, Cao Lu was responsible for drawing the Noah's hull.
After discovering that Song Yan and the other two had been brought back, they took action. They originally planned to arrest Song Yan, but since Song Yan was with Lu Xingtong and Huang Guanjie, Jiang Yu arrested the other one who was alone instead.
Jiang Lin couldn't help but sigh.
Cao Lu: "What's the problem?"
Jiang Lin: "It reminds me of three salted fish."
"They're fine," Tan Zhengyang laughed heartily, "don't worry about them!"
Hearing Tan Zhengyang's familiar tone, Jiang Lin sensed something was off and immediately realized: "You know 'Adventures in the Siren Kingdom'?"
Ji Ran didn't tell Jiang Yu about their side's information, but that doesn't mean Jiang Yu wouldn't know.
Zhao Ruoxi and Wang Liang played games in the arcade for a whole day and night. Jiang Yu wasn't stupid; he could definitely guess that there were clues hidden in the game machines.
"There's only one game console in the game area that plays 'Kingdom of the Sirens'," Jiang Lin observed that Cao Lu wasn't surprised, so he knew his guess was correct and continued:
"Jiang Yu didn't send anyone to steal the game consoles. So you sent people to watch them? And secretly recorded our game progress with your phones?"
"Damn." Cao Lu blurted out his inner thoughts. They hadn't exchanged more than a few words, yet Jiang Lin had already guessed everything.
How can this person's analytical skills be so terrifying?
Tan Zhengyang didn't realize the problem and nodded, complaining, "I'm not saying this to be mean, but that big guy playing games is really stupid. I even wanted to rush up and do it myself!"
In the game area on the second floor of the Noah, Wang Liang, who was sandwiched between Zhao Ruoxi and Ji Ran, suddenly started sneezing incessantly.
"Ahhh! Jump over! Jump over!" Zhao Ruoxi screamed as she watched the little character in the game screen about to be sliced in the waist by an oncoming siren.
The next second, cheerful background music started playing from the game console.
"La la la la la... Game Over! La la la la la... Game Over!"
"Aaaaaah! I died again, you noob! Let me play! Let me play!" Zhao Ruoxi angrily grabbed the game console handle in front of Wang Liang.
Ji Ran yawned, huddled in a corner, her eyelids practically glued shut: So sleepy, I really want to sleep... Zzz...
While Jiang Lin and the other two were chatting, Lu Xiaoxiao had already climbed up the dusty ventilation duct to the fifth examination room. The ventilation duct was narrow, but it was no problem for her petite 18-year-old body.
Lu Xiaoxiao carefully looked around through the ventilation grille. The interior of the fifth and sixth consultation rooms was no different, and there was no one in the room.
Lu Xiaoxiao took out her phone and checked the countdown. Finding that there was still plenty of time, she didn't go downstairs and decided to check out the other rooms instead.
She hadn't climbed far when she came to a fork in the road. Lu Xiaoxiao chose a direction, then marked the pipe with a black hairpin she carried with her before continuing on.
Not long after, Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at another room. Based on the map, Lu Xiaoxiao deduced that it was the second consultation room opposite the fifth consultation room.
The second examination room didn't have a bed; instead, it was a laboratory filled with numerous medical instruments. Lu Xiaoxiao was about to go downstairs when she suddenly heard the door open. Klein entered the second examination room and sat down at the lab table, busily working away.
Although Lu Xiaoxiao really wanted to go down and look for clues about "blue blood," she wasn't confident she could take down Klein alone. So, after thinking for a moment, she continued towards the other clinics, hoping to find more useful clues within the limited time.
The ship was rocking and making noise at sea, so Lu Xiaoxiao wasn't spotted by Klein. The short-haired girl soon arrived at the third consultation room marked on the map.
As usual, Lu Xiaoxiao observed the area first. The third consultation room was the same place Jiang Lin and Ji Xingyi had visited before, and Lu Xiaoxiao also noticed the huge cylindrical water tank in the center of the third consultation room.
Unlike when Jiang Lin came before, there was now a woman with disheveled hair soaking in the cylindrical water tank!
Lu Xiaoxiao squinted and looked carefully.
Do not!
Not human!
Lu Xiaoxiao's pupils dilated in shock when she saw the woman's beautiful blue fishtail!
Is this... a mermaid??
A mermaid with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish tail!
The mermaid remained motionless in the tank, as if she were asleep!
Lu Xiao's heart suddenly raced, and as time ticked by, sweat dripped down her face.
Fight!
This is firsthand information about mermaids!
Lu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, opened the ventilation duct, and jumped down.
Jiang Lin and the others hadn't been chatting for long when Cao Lu, who had been watching the footsteps outside the door, noticed someone approaching and immediately made a gesture.
With a "click," the door opened, and Ivy had managed to secretly bring down four more students in such a short time.
When the siren passed by Lu Xiaoxiao, Cao Lu and Tan Zhengyang both held their breath. Fortunately, Ai Wei only glanced at the short-haired girl on the hospital bed and did not linger.
After finishing her treatment, Ivy left the sixth consultation room as usual.
Tan Zhengyang stared anxiously at the time on his phone. The effect of the substitute talisman only lasted for half an hour, and it would be troublesome if Lu Xiaoxiao didn't come back soon.
Cao Lu continued to stare at the door, when out of the corner of his eye he suddenly noticed Jiang Lin get up and walk to where Ivy had just been standing. He asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Lin mimicked Ivy, looking at the mannequin on the bed with a thoughtful expression: "You've already been exposed."
Tan Zhengyang's pupils widened: "How is this possible?"
“The energy-boosting talisman is a one-to-one replica; the naked eye can’t detect any problem. He didn’t touch the dummy either, so he shouldn’t be exposed,” Cao Lu said, frowning.
Jiang Lin: "Have you ever thought about this? These sirens captured nearly two hundred passengers, injected them with blue blood, and then released them. But in the early stages of the blue blood injection, there were no visible symptoms on the human body. How did they distinguish among 480 people which ones had been injected and which ones hadn't?"
Jiang Lin could "smell" the fishy stench on Song Yan, so these sea monsters definitely had a way of recognizing their "kin".
Ivy had already realized that the "Lu Xiaoxiao" on the bed was fake after that extra glance!
But why doesn't Ivy show it?
"Oh no!" Cao Lu realized instantly, his face changing drastically: "Xiao Xiao might be in trouble!"
