Huan Xiao, who was reading comics in a mall bookstore, had unknowingly forgotten the game and the mission.
She immersed herself in the comic book world. There happened to be a short story in the comic book series in my hand that was particularly eye-catching.
So no matter what the story is, Huan Xiao wants to read it.
…
In a far away country, there is a rich country. The people of the country live and work in peace and contentment, and face every passer-by with a happy smile every day.
On this day, the prince of this country rescued a beautiful girl from the coast not far away.
The girl has an appearance as beautiful as the moon, a temperament like a star, and a soul as bright as the sun.
Almost as soon as they saw her, everyone would hold their breath involuntarily, carefully appreciating her precious beauty as if they were fragile objects, and caring for her soft heart.
Just like the beginning of all fairy tales, the prince fell in love with this beautiful girl at first sight and planned to go to the girl's home to propose marriage. So, he went to ask the girl for her address.
The beautiful girl faced the sun, and the soft warm light shone on her long seaweed hair as smooth as the sea, appearing in the world like an elf in the forest.
However, when faced with the prince's inquiry, the girl said nothing and just kept shaking her head, as if she had something to hide.
Oh, the prince forgot again, the girl he loved was a mute who could not speak.
Every night, the girl would sit on the beach and look at the sea in the distance. The prince could always find the girl where he rescued her.
The girl's eyes were full of nostalgia and longing. The prince thought that the girl's home was on the land on the other side of the sea, so he planned to take the girl back to her hometown by boat.
After learning of the decision, the girl smiled as brightly as a rose. This was the first time the prince saw the girl looking happy.
The shipbuilding was completed quickly. It was a gorgeous and exquisite ship with countless jewels and gold coins on it. It was a meeting gift that the prince was going to give to the girl's parents.
When the time came, the prince and his beloved girl boarded the ship and set off to the other side of the sea.
On this day, it was the thirteenth day that the ship was sailing on the sea. The captain found a small island in front of him that he had never seen before.
There are many beautiful mermaids with human bodies and fish tails near the island, which is like a dream island.
Before the prince could recover from the shock, the girl beside him walked to the edge of the boat and opened her flower-like lips.
An ethereal, melodious and mesmerizing song sounded from the sea.
The singing made the mermaids on the island look at the ship. They curiously looked at the outsiders they had never seen before.
When the singing stopped, the intoxicated prince was surprised to find that it was his beloved girl who was singing. It turns out that his girl is not mute!
Soon after the ship docked at the island, several beautiful girls came and took the prince and others to a palace.
The palace is in the sea under the island, and walking in the passage made of foam, the attendants brought by the prince are all amazed by the scenery here.
The fish swam over their heads but did not attack them. The foam insulated the water and made them feel like they were walking on the shore.
It was also at this time that the prince discovered that the girl he liked had turned into a mermaid with the body of a fish and the tail of a fish.
The water was sparkling, and the scales on the fish's tail shone with strange colors. The girl returned to her original appearance and told the prince her difficulties.
It turns out that she is the princess of Mermaid Island. Because of the design of the underwater witch, she was deprived of her voice. Only when she returns to Mermaid Island with her true love will her voice return to her throat.
After telling the mermaid girl about their feelings for each other, the prince forgave her for hiding her secret and once again expressed his desire to marry her. The mermaid girl who knew the prince's intention readily agreed.
While talking, the prince and the girl entered the palace and met the girl's parents, the king and queen of this mermaid island.
After the prince told them his purpose, the king and queen nodded understandingly and agreed to the prince's request.
In this way, the prince returned to his kingdom with the mermaid girl who had restored her voice and smile, and held a grand wedding with great fanfare.
The comic ends here.
Although the story is old-fashioned, the mermaid princess in it is painted very beautifully, as charming and dazzling as a siren. The artist who drew this comic is very skilled, so it’s a shame that he came to draw this comic.
After Huan Xiao read the entire story, he discovered that there was an eye-catching advertisement at the end of the comic.
[The Mermaid Island trip will officially set sail on July 27th. Do you want to meet the real-life mermaid princess? Want to marry the mermaid princess and mermaid prince home? Then come and sign up!
This trip will include cruise ship transfers, auctions, interactions with mermaids and other exciting content. Action is worse than excitement, registration is in full swing——]
Seeing the date, Huanxiao lowered his head to confirm the time on his phone.
…It’s ten minutes past ten on July 26th.
What a coincidence, tomorrow is the time to visit Mermaid Island.
By the way, besides demons and ghosts, there are also mermaids in this world? It’s so amazing!
If this trip existed in her real world, Huanxiao would definitely sign up for it out of curiosity.
Unfortunately, this is a game. She can't buy a ticket, and she might even be arrested and locked up because she is a gangster.
Just when Huanxiao regretted not being able to see the mermaids in this world, she discovered that 502 in the group had started a video call.
Seeing this, Huan Xiao forgot about the trip to Mermaid Island.
We’ll talk about other things later, the game mission comes first!
In the picture, 502 was leaning against the window, holding up the phone tremblingly. Because of her unconscious shaking, the screen of the phone kept shaking, which was dizzying.
"104, are you colluding with the ghost? You are a spy in our group, right? You made a deal with the ghost, so the ghost listens to you like this!"
502's crying voice came through, and the sound of water dripping on the other side of the video could still be vaguely heard in the headphones. The sound was orderly, dripping every second, like the sound of a mechanical playback.
Hearing the unusual sound coming from his ears, 502 suddenly threw away his mobile phone and covered his ears.
The sound of dripping water and the sound of cutting bones and breaking flesh with a knife kept echoing in her ears. No matter how she tried to block it, she could not make the sound quieter.
"Tick tock tick"
"Bang bang bang"
"Tick tock tick"
"Bang bang bang"
"No...no! Get away! I don't want to hear it!!!"
Every second she listened, her spirit was shattered.
502 is going crazy, why would a ghost target her? Why is 104 targeting her? She didn't do anything, she was just an ordinary person who was forced to join the trick game, why did all the bad things happen to her!
"Ding Dong" "Ding Dong"
I heard the sound of people in the group sending messages from my cell phone.
502 squatted down and let the rain wet her hair and clothes.
She covered her ears and huddled under the window. When the rain fell on her, she felt less afraid.
Even the bone-chilling coldness of the rain could not compare to the fear and fear in her heart at this moment.
502 has maintained this posture, ignoring the phone that fell on the ground and the player who sent her a message. From a distance, it looks like a lifelike sculpture.
