Huanxiao spent another three days on the cruise ship. Because there were no fish-headed ghosts and other humans, Huanxiao spent these three days like a year.
She could only browse news online, watch videos, play games and learn some knowledge about the world every day. She felt that she was not happy at all.
It was not until the thirteenth day, after seeing Cruise Ship No. 4 sailing towards a small island, that Huan Xiao felt completely relieved.
Unexpectedly, Zero actually knew the way, but how could it, a human-snake, be related to Mermaid Island?
It's morning and cloudless.
There were several fish swimming in the clear water. When Huanxiao saw them, he subconsciously thought they had human faces.
But after seeing the normal fish-headed fish behind her, she felt relieved.
It seems that the creatures around Mermaid Island are normal. The previous octopus with a human face may have nothing to do with Mermaid Island...
As the ship gradually approached the shore, the ghostly atmosphere on the ship gradually faded away, just like the smoke dispersed. Huan Xiao felt that her eyes lit up and the world became brighter.
After the boat stopped steadily, Huan Xiao was ready to disembark.
However, as soon as she opened the door, she saw a bloody mouth coming towards her, the tips of its teeth flashing with a terrifying light.
Huan Xiao subconsciously took a step back, and the ghost energy on his body spurted out, knocking the giant thing in front of him into the opposite door.
"Boom" a loud noise.
The door collapsed and twisted.
Huanxiao used ghost energy to restrain it, and then she saw clearly what was attacking her.
"Number Zero? It's you."
Huanxiao's eyes were cold as he watched Number Zero swinging its snake tail and doing useless exercises under the constraints of ghost energy.
No. 0 must have been planning this for a long time. It was specifically stationed at the door of Huanxiao's room.
Zero was waiting for Huanxiao to attack her without any defense when she opened the door.
Huanxiao thought Zero was stupid before, but now it seems that Zero is not as stupid as she thought.
Isn't it smart to be able to suppress the murderous intention, observe Huan Xiao's whereabouts and habits every day, and choose the most suitable time to strike with a fatal blow?
"Kill...kill...die"
On the ground, No. 0 stared at Huanxiao fiercely, its golden vertical pupils dyed red, and its ghostly aura surged.
To strike first is to be strong, but to strike later is to suffer disaster. Huan Xiao did not intend to wait for its ghostly aura to gradually increase before killing it.
It only took less than a second for Huan Xiao to smash the snake's heart directly with ghost energy.
However, No. 0 was dying, but still not dead.
Huan Xiao didn't think much, and used ghost energy to cut open the snake's skin along the middle.
...When all the internal organs of No. 0 were exposed in front of Huan Xiao, she suddenly realized:
"You have two hearts, it's really troublesome."
The other heart continued to be damaged, and No. 0 was in a near-death state.
Creatures with ghostly aura are harder to kill than Huanxiao thought, but this level is enough for now.
"Hey~eat...eat"
No. 0's breath was weak, and he was spitting out letters in an attempt to entangle Huanxiao.
Huan Xiao didn't let it succeed, and slashed at the base of the snake's tongue with his ghost energy.
"Click"
The tongue fell to the ground.
Zero on the ground grinned because of pain, and the snake's tail swung violently, banging the door in the corridor and making a very noisy noise.
Huanxiao took advantage of Zero's ability to resist and absorbed the ghost energy from Zero's body into his right eye.
...The process went smoothly, and within ten minutes, No. 0's ghost energy was squeezed out.
At this time, something happened.
I saw that the human-like part and the snake-like part of Zero's body were separating. This scene looked like a hallucination caused by eating poisonous mushrooms.
No. 0's body was twisted and deformed, and finally it was completely lifeless.
The corpses on the ground also stopped changing and were not completely separated. It presents an unprecedented weird shape, like an abstract painting, which is difficult to describe.
Huanxiao determined that No. 0 was dead, so he used ghost energy to ball up No. 0's body and threw it into a room and locked it up, out of sight.
Walked through the corridor and onto the deck.
Huan Xiao looked down and found a dense forest not far away. It was completely impossible to tell that this was a mermaid island used for vacation.
Moreover, there seems to be no sign of human life on the island. What's going on?
Did Zero really take the ship to Mermaid Island?
...It's useless to think too much, just go down and take a look first.
Huanxiao used the ghost energy to jump directly from the fence and stepped into the sea water.
Then, she used her ghost energy to quickly run around the island.
The island was full of weeds that were taller than a person and some snakes, insects, rats, and ants, but no large beasts were seen.
On one side of the island, there is a road that has been beaten by cars and footprints.
After Huan Xiao found the road, he followed it into the forest.
The further inside, the colder the air becomes.
Walking roughly to the center of the island, Huanxiao saw a building.
Silver-white walls, a door about five meters high, the door is now open.
Seeing that the door was open, Huan Xiao walked in directly.
After entering, there is a white corridor. The walls look a little old and there are a few small cracks on the walls.
There was a strange trace on the ground, extending from the doorway to the inside.
Huanxiao squatted down and looked carefully, and found that it was a mixture of blood and some kind of liquid. It had dried now and looked like it had been there for a while.
Seeing clues pointing the way, Huan Xiao followed the guide line on the ground.
Turning left and right and walking straight, Huanxiao followed and made several turns and circles before finally reaching his destination.
The door ahead is still open.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw several corpses wearing white coats on the ground, and many containers of different sizes placed in the room.
The light yellow liquid in the container should be nutrient solution.
There is a creature in every complete container. If you take out any of these creatures, you will be called a "monster". They are all a combination of humans and other animals, and they look very weird.
Huan Xiao discovered that the creatures in each container had more or less ghostly aura, but they were not ghosts.
The largest container in the room was broken, and some surrounding containers had also been smashed. The creatures inside had obviously escaped.
Huanxiao saw the photo of No. 0 on the introduction of the largest container.
...This is the position of number zero.
Zero escaped from this place. As for why Zero appeared on cruise ship No. 4, we have to ask those fish-headed monsters.
No wonder Zero docked the ship on this small island. It turns out that this is its birthplace.
Then, this should not be Mermaid Island...
Huanxiao searched the house and found a black-smelling safe and a stack of experimental records.
In the record, there are values obtained after using the dark ring to fuse animals and human cells.
It focuses on recording the various data of the experimental subjects from birth to growth, including strength and intelligence.
Zero's intelligence is undoubtedly at the bottom, but its strength value is undoubtedly the highest among all experiments.
The experimenters on the ground may have been too negligent towards No. 0 and did not realize the danger of the experimental product, so they were killed by the experimental product in the end.
As for the thing in the safe, you can tell from the ghostly atmosphere outside that it must be the secret ring mentioned in the research records.
Huan Xiao damaged the safe and saw a black ring inside.
The ring is black in color and does not reflect light. It is not made of any material that Huanxiao is familiar with.
At this time, a message popped up from the game:
【Do you want to store ghost rings? 】
