Huan Xiao looked at the two-hour countdown displayed on his phone in frustration, and sat in the waiting hall and wailed softly:
"No way, why don't I go to Mermaid Island?!"
"Ding dong!"
At this time, Yugi sent her a message again.
"You're not urging me to leave, are you? Is it appropriate to drive me away like this?"
Huanxiao opened the phone screen and saw the following message.
[It is detected that the player has triggered an unplayed game. Do you want to skip returning to the player's world time and continue waiting for the game to proceed? 】
"Huh? No game?"
[Where exactly is Mermaid Island Ship No. 4 going? Is it related to real mermaids? What exciting story will happen on the ship...]
[If you choose to continue the game, you will need to survive on cruise ship No. 4 for 13 days. Whether to continue? 】
Between the lines, the cunning games are tempting Huan Xiao to continue playing.
For such behavior, Huan Xiao is naturally...
"Confirm to continue the game!"
It’s only thirteen days, so be careful and prepare more food.
Anyway, she decided to book this Mermaid Island in Huanxiao!
After Huanxiao clicked to continue the game, familiar red words in blood appeared on the phone screen...
[Perhaps the real mermaid is not as mysterious as imagined. Please try to persist until thirteen days later. Then you will see the truth hidden on the island! 】
Then, there was no movement in the game.
The countdown hanging at the top of the phone that worried Huan Xiao also disappeared with Huan Xiao's choice.
"Okay, isn't this a free fantasy tour! Here I come to Mermaid Island!"
Huanxiao happily walked to the supermarket. This time she wanted to buy more food for emergencies...
Day trip to Mermaid Island.
It was obviously a heavy rain the day before, but today it was windy and sunny.
Huan Xiao easily dragged the heavy suitcase onto the No. 4 cruise ship... To put it quietly, she dragged it with ghost energy, Huan Xiao herself was not that strong at all!
There are staff responsible for checking tickets at the entrance of the cruise ship. They were dressed in ordinary clothes, but in Huanxiao's eyes, these staff members were conspicuous presences with their own special effects.
The traces of black energy made Huanxiao think that he had traveled through time into a TV with its own special effects.
And not just one, but everyone!
All the staff have ghostly auras on them. What kind of hell-on-earth difficulty game is this?
"Oh my god, it can't be a ghost ship, right? Is this a big game?"
Huanxiao, who had passed the inspection, walked to the empty cruise ship deck and complained to himself.
Because of her expectations of the mermaid, she successfully became one of the first ten tourists to board the ship.
There were very few people on the boat now, so Huanxiao dragged her luggage into the room where she was.
After putting away the luggage and coming out, Huanxiao lay on the railing on the deck and watched the tourists below boarding the ship.
It's really lively. This ship can accommodate 3,000 people, so it will definitely be very noisy.
Seagulls fly over the sea, and the blue sky and white clouds are reflected on the sea. Cruise ship No. 4 is docked at the pier, but it seems to be suspended in the sky.
Suddenly, dozens of people appeared out of thin air in Huan Xiao's field of vision.
Some wear casual clothes, some wear gorgeous skirts, some wear suits, some wear COS clothes, and some only wear a pair of underwear...
Hmm, is there something weird mixed in?
The sudden appearance of dozens of people did not cause any confusion. The crowd seemed not to notice that they had appeared out of thin air. Everyone queued up to check their tickets in an orderly manner.
Huan Xiao was above, and he could faintly hear the players who appeared discussing.
"...Mission, Mermaid...Heart of the Deep Sea"
? The heart of the deep sea.
Huanxiao heard the unfamiliar vocabulary and picked up her phone again to check her tasks.
Isn't the point of the game to live for thirteen days? He also allowed her to go to the island to find the truth when she had time, but she didn't mention the Heart of the Deep Sea at all!
...It seems that her mission this time is different from other players.
This is also good, as it avoids the need for her to forcefully claim the player's identity.
Recalling the last game, she thought that the game didn't tell her the mission of the game and went to join a group with the players but was rejected. She felt sad and pitiful when she thought about it.
Since she's not involved with anyone else this time, let's have some fun!
"No! I won't go, I won't go up! You have to go on your own, I want to go home!"
A scream drew Huan Xiao's attention, and Huan Xiao noticed a young woman suddenly running out of the group of players.
The woman didn't stop at all and ran straight in the opposite direction to Cruise Ship No. 4, as if she was being chased by a ghost.
"Come back quickly! Idiot, if you violate it, you will be wiped out!"
Some players shouted loudly to remind the woman who ran out, but unfortunately it was too late.
"Click" "Click"
The people who ran out were cut into pieces of flesh by the invisible air, instantly causing the crowd to scream.
"Ah!!! Someone's dead!"
"It's so scary. Now someone dares to kill people on the street and still escapes!"
Everyone except the player seems to have a vague-looking murderer forcibly added to their memory. They rationalized such a bizarre death and no one found it strange.
At this moment, Huan Xiao once again felt separated from reality. This is like a real game world, everyone is an NPC.
But Huanxiao knew that was not the case. They are living people, people of flesh and blood.
Rather than saying that this world is a game, it is better to say that the people behind the game use weird and powerful abilities to turn this world into a game that players can play.
And not only this world, the world where Huanxiao is located is also controlled by the mysterious game...
"Get on the boat quickly, don't be in a daze!"
Someone among the players reminded loudly.
After seeing a person die with his own eyes, people who are still waiting in line continue to line up, just like seeing a kitten or puppy that was supposed to die in front of their eyes.
There are touches, but not much.
No one disrupted their itinerary plans, and after the bodies were cleared away by the ship's staff, no one paid attention to that place anymore.
"We want to find the heart of the ocean as soon as possible, we must find it quickly!"
A man wearing a simple T-shirt said.
Hearing this, the person next to him asked worriedly:
"But what if there is only one heart of the ocean..."
"No way, the game can't give us a mission with such a high death rate!"
Each of the players was given a small suitcase by the game, which seemed to only be able to hold their clothes and some identification.
Now, they were carrying their suitcases onto the ship, talking and going up the stairs.
"Oh? Are you here for the Heart of the Ocean?"
At this time, a staff member walked up to the player who said that with a smile.
The player nodded in confusion and said:
"Well, I heard that your cruise ship is going to be auctioned, and the Heart of the Ocean should also be auctioned, right?"
"Of course there is an auction, dear guest, you really know how to joke!"
The staff member who answered him had a decent smile on his face, like the most perfect machine.
