Jiang Yaoqing didn't hesitate and clicked on clue sharing directly.
The color of the mural was a bright turquoise green. Jiang Yaoqing just glanced at it and felt dizzy and dizzy in her stomach.
Holding back the discomfort, Jiang Yaoqing reached out and slid the screen interface in front of her.
The mermaid in the mural is Sisili.
The walls were badly damaged and many patterns could not be seen clearly, but this did not affect Jiang Yaoqing's guessing at the stories on the murals.
The story in the mural should be divided into three modules.
Exorcism rituals, coffin enclosing rituals, awakening rituals.
Over time, the murals of the awakening ceremony have been damaged, and a small part of the exorcism ceremony has been obscured due to weathering or water erosion.
Only the coffin loading ceremony is the clearest.
The crystal coffin was decorated extremely luxuriously, inlaid with gold, and outlined a huge pupil. Sisili clasped his hands together and lay peacefully in the crystal coffin, surrounded by thorns covered with barbs.
"Your Majesty, why haven't you come yet? It seems that there is not enough time."
"It should be soon. If you don't come, you'll be late."
Only this part of the mural could be seen. Jiang Yaoqing put away the light screen in front of her and groped forward.
Now that the prop is still in the process of taking effect, he is hesitating whether he should enter the baptism place.
If this is a trap, entering on your own is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
But if it weren't for the trap, Sisili might be in danger now.
wrong.
Jiang Yao clings to the wall behind her.
According to the two guards, the exorcism ceremony is about to begin tonight. The Mermaid King will definitely take such a grand ceremony very seriously.
Logically speaking, there should not be only two soldiers stationed here.
There must be something fishy about this.
Jiang Yaoqing suppressed her somewhat confused thoughts, probably because caring caused confusion.
Sisili and I can be considered to have a life-long friendship. When I meet Sisili's wandering soul, I should help him.
"Your Majesty is here, stand up quickly."
Jiang Yaoqing's thoughts returned instantly.
The sound of collision between weapons and the ground rang in my ears. It should be the escort brought by the Mermaid King.
This does look a bit like it. Jiang Yaoqing thought silently in her heart.
"Good day, Your Majesty the King of the Sea." The guards leaned over and saluted, saying in unison.
"Is there anyone else waiting to enter the baptismal pool?" Neptune's voice rang in the air unhurriedly, reaching Jiang Yaoqing's ears through the sea water.
"Never." The guards replied together, "We did our duty diligently and did not leave our posts without authorization. We are keeping a good watch on him."
"That's very good." There was a tone of satisfaction in Neptune's voice.
"Father, the Sisili guy hasn't been found yet."
"Sent people to his palace, guess what?"
"Sisili and his new groom are all gone. Father, please forgive me for talking too much. This Sisili... still seems restless."
Jiang Yaoqing has never seen the mermaid brothers in Sisili, but she can probably guess that the mermaid in front of her is so close to the mermaid king, so she must be the eldest prince.
The Mermaid King hesitated for a moment, and then said calmly: "No problem."
"Come, open the door to the baptismal place."
Jiang Yaoqing hid aside and heard the sound of the door being opened.
A burst of cold air hit her face. Jiang Yaoqing, who was hiding in the corner, shivered from the cold and subconsciously flicked her tail. Jiang Yaoqing decided to follow and take a look.
Jiang Yaoqing was ready to leave when she heard the sound of the door being closed from inside.
Following the direction of the sound and the angle of the water flow, Jiang Yaoqing swam in as fast as she could.
[Task 3: Enter the Holy Land of Baptism in the Imperial City (Completed)]
Jiang Yaoqing just breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could make any unnecessary moves, the gauze covering her eyes suddenly fell off.
【warn! warn! The novice anchor is being spied on by a lot of things that cannot be seen directly! ! Mental strength begins to decrease! 】
Jiang Yaoqing was still in a trance, and the invisibility props on her body suddenly failed.
[Prop name: Invisibility prop (invalid)]
what happened……?
You've fallen into a trap! ?
[The novice anchor currently only has 65 points of mental power left. Please stabilize the mental power to keep it above 50, otherwise there is a chance of being assimilated]
Jiang Yaoqing's figure slowly appeared in front of the entire "baptism hall". Her vision was somewhat blurry, and she looked at the group of mermaids opening their sharp teeth in front of her. Her spirit seemed to be pricked by needles, and there was no sign of relief. Produces stinging pain.
Depend on.
Jiang Yaoqing suddenly woke up.
The huge pine green style building in front of her made her dizzy just by looking at it. The saint building and a group of strange giant stone statues stood up, making Jiang Yaoqing subconsciously want to vomit.
The mermaid wearing a royal dress in front of him was twitching the corners of his mouth, his long red tongue sweeping over the exposed sharp teeth, and his long earth-black tail slapping the ground neatly.
The entire baptismal place erupted with an extremely loud alarm bell in the next moment.
An alarm bell seemed to ring on the tip of Jiang Yaoqing's heart, with a calm and unhurried nervousness.
Jiang Yaoqing subconsciously took a step back and took a deep breath.
[Current mental strength: 60]
Listening to the mechanical sound ringing in her ears, Jiang Yaoqing felt a little guilty.
This time I was careless.
The dagger I bought before slowly took shape in my hand. The real place of baptism was elsewhere. The scene just now...
Damn it.
Jiang Yaoqing bit her lips tightly, blood flowed out from the ulcer, and the tip of her tongue was stained with the taste of rust.
The scene just now should be a trap specially set by the Mermaid King for himself.
Unexpectedly, he actually stepped in.
[Congratulations to the new anchor for entering the second session of this live broadcast]
[Your current location is - Mermaid Grave]
[Please escape from the Mermaid Tomb within ten minutes and find the real baptismal holy place]
[Reward for completing the mission: You can choose any item from the Mermaid Tomb as your own prop]
[Punishment for mission failure: obliteration]
【Countdown: 09:59】
Stop in the second scene and escape from the mermaid tomb.
Looking at the merman in front of her who smiled strangely at her, Jiang Yaoqing's tense nerves made her take a step back slowly.
[Warm reminder: Current survival days - 4]
[There are only 12 hours left before the end of this open copy mission]
The system prompts kept circling in Jiang Yaoqing's mind, like a kite with a broken string, flying farther and farther.
[Current mental strength: 57]
The decrease in mental power caused Jiang Yaoqing's thoughts to be constantly interrupted. Her whole figure turned into a shadow, shaking constantly in the mermaid's tomb, unable to control her body.
Looking at the somewhat blurry countdown in her vision, Jiang Yaoqing felt that her entire body was ridiculously heavy, as if there were countless tentacles stretching out from the ground, pulling her tightly.
Black, decaying mucus began to climb up from his fish tail, and his skin began to fester over a large area, and his amber eyes filled with hazy tears.
Jiang Yaoqing's eyes flashed with a daze for a moment. Without hesitation, she raised the dagger fiercely and stabbed her wrist.
The severe pain brought me back to consciousness slightly, and my chaotic thoughts that had fled everywhere returned to my body.
Blood seeped into the seawater along the fingers.
Jiang Yaoqing's hair was lifted up in the flowing sea water, revealing his plump and beautiful forehead amidst the constant ringing of alarm bells.
It was obvious that the Mermaid King had planned it from the beginning.
Worst case scenario, an exorcism has been held at the actual baptismal site.
If he had not arrived in time and prevented the exorcism ceremony from being held, Sisili would most likely have behaved like what was painted on the mural...
wrong.
The patterns on the mural happened after the timeline where I am now.
So within the established timeline, everything before the summoning ceremony has come true.
Jiang Yaoqing suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of powerlessness.
Even if he finds a way out, things must have progressed to a summoning ceremony.
By then, the exorcism ceremony has ended, and it will be too late to do anything else.
It's too late.
[Current mental strength: 52]
There was a light purple mist in the air, and Jiang Yaoqing's uncontrollable emotions collapsed. The crystal tears turned into pearls and fell to the ground with a crisp collision sound.
I can't do anything myself.
He is a waste.
His parents concealed his death because he was too weak. Jiang Yubai and Lu Xingye said they wanted to protect themselves because they were just a fragile support.
Do you exist just to let others protect you?
Stop again and again...
He could only ask Lord Demon to save him.
[Current mental strength: 50]
Jiang Yaoqing was thrown out by a strong force, and she fell onto the huge one-eyed stone statue, shattering her sight.
The dagger had already fallen to the ground not far away.
His wrists drooped weakly, his eyelashes were filled with mist, and they were trembling slightly. The bloodless lips were slightly opened, and Jiang Yao's amber eyes were blank for a moment.
Heavy eyelids dragged Jiang Yaoqing's gaze upwards, and unexpectedly, she met a huge blood-colored pupil.
[Current mental strength: 40]
——
The chamber spins again.
Lu Xingye's eyes stopped on Su Xi's back, and there were emotions in his eyes that he couldn't even explain.
Jiang Yubai saw all this, lowered his eyes, and led Lu Xingye and Xiao Shi back to the secret room.
"Complete the drawings, we don't know where we will be sent next." Lu Xingye said, but his emotions could not be heard clearly.
"As long as we can't unlock this secret room, we will always be trapped here, spinning and looping." Xiao Shi squatted at the place where he had previously decrypted, looking at the incomplete clues in his hands.
Lu Xingye suddenly felt worried and looked sideways at Jiang Yubai: "I wonder what's going on with brother Yao Qing..."
Jiang Yubai subconsciously pressed his heart and pursed his pale lips.
"I guess...his situation is not very good."
The secret room began to rotate, and Jiang Yubai's eyes were fixed on the movable stone door not far away. He walked up to Xiao Shi, leaned down, and took the drawing from Xiao Shi's hand: "What's missing now?"
"The mechanism on this stone door is similar to a password lock. There are four passwords on it. Based on the information we got before, I inferred that the first password is snowflakes, the second password is moon, and the third password should be mermaid. As for The fourth password..."
"This combination lock only has buttons in the first three combination places. The fourth place is different from the first three. It is a groove as big as my fist."
Xiao Shi stretched out his hand and gestured.
"But I guess the mechanism in this groove is not on our side."
"You mean," Lu Xingye joined the chat, "the clues in this groove are from Brother Yaoqing's side?"
Xiao Shi nodded: "That's it."
The chamber stopped spinning.
A stream of cold air sprayed out from all around, and a cluster of red flames ignited at Jiang Yubai's fingertips. The weak firelight flickered in the narrow airtight chamber.
The door to the secret room opens.
"What is this place?"
"Brother, this is a monument." Lu Xingye walked out of the secret room, turned on the flashlight in his hand, and walked past the monument in front of him.
"Place of baptism."
The flashlight shone on the place in front of him, Jiang Yubai walked down the steps, the tip of his nose moved slightly, looking at the flame that was extinguished instantly in his hand, and tightened his protective mask: "Everyone, be careful, the air in this baptism place is poisonous. "
Lu Xingye tightened his protective mask with one hand and reached out to help Xiao Shi adjust his mask.
"I have a question."
Xiao Shi spoke abruptly, echoing in the baptismal place.
Jiang Yubai and Lu Xingye turned back together: "Say."
"If, I mean if..." Xiao Shi's face was hidden in black, revealing a different kind of indifference from before, "Jiang Yaoqing died in the black mist, would you still choose to go back to save him?"
There was silence.
Just when Xiao Shi laughed to himself and thought it was nothing more than this, Jiang Yubai averted his eyes and walked forward.
An inexplicable sound was left behind.
"Does this child have a fever? He suddenly asked such an unnutritious question."
Lu Xingye ran two steps quickly to catch up with Jiang Yubai and waved to Xiao Shi behind him, signaling him to follow and not fall behind.
"First of all, nothing will happen to Brother Yaoqing. Secondly, we are a team. No matter who gets into trouble, we must try our best to save him even if he is killed."
"Understand?"
Even if you risk your life, do you still want to save him as much as possible?
Xiao Shi lowered his eyes.
I hope you can really do it.
Rather than just having fun.
