Did that so-called ritual really attract the Ama?
But is it really the haenyeo that comes out of the mist? Do haenyeo have footsteps like that? As the sound got closer, it became more three-dimensional, and it felt like thick flippers hitting the ground heavily.
Close! Closer!
She saw a figure coming out of the fog!
Haenyeo? no! It's a fish-headed man! And there’s more than one fish-headed man!
It seemed that the fish-headed men were originally heading towards the people on the ground, but halfway there, they suddenly turned around sharply, their flippers bouncing on the ground in an exaggerated way, and jumped in front of her within two seconds!
An enlarged fish face appeared in front of her very abruptly. The dead fish eyes stared at her unblinkingly, and then slowly opened his mouth, as if he was laughing. His voice was a little funny, like It’s those voices on TV that are deliberately trying to be ugly. They are naive and have an unpleasant fishy smell. “There are actually sane people out there.”
He waved to the companions behind him, "Those people don't want her anymore, take her away."
He said something easy to understand, but somewhat difficult to understand, "I want her to become one of our kind."
Then, he extended his fish paw to her and said, "Welcome, high-quality fellow."
A half-murloc man came behind him with a bow and arrow. When he saw Suman, his expression was unbelievable and very resistant at the same time, "Boss, no, this woman can't do it. The new one yesterday wanted to inform her. The one who was shot to death by me must have come to investigate us. I don’t think her background is clean at all.”
She said a lot of nasty things, "She will definitely be the rat turd that messes us up."
However, no matter how she slandered her, the fish-man boss did not change his opinion. Instead, he became more interested in Suman. "Such a talent must join us, so that we can have enough capital to fight against that stinky woman."
Suman narrowed his eyes slightly and began to focus on the important points. "Smelly woman, these fishmen still have people they can't deal with!" They want to recruit her! The senior brother Liu who died yesterday was one of theirs. If you follow them, you may be able to find the other senior brothers and sisters. In this case, you will have completed the first mission. These fishmen may also be related to the haenyeo, so If you get along with them, the second mission will be just around the corner.
Everything is in her favor, so what are you waiting for?
So when the archery murloc started to make excuses and said, "Maybe she doesn't want to join us," she immediately answered, "I don't know what you mean, but if you can keep me alive, I'm willing to join." .”
The murloc boss was very satisfied with her knowledge and looked at the archer murloc who was speaking in warning, "Our organization has never been voluntary. As long as it's someone we like, no one can refuse. I hope you can If you can always remember this, no one can say no to our organization!”
There was a look of fear on the fish-man's face, and he nodded weakly. When he looked up at Suman, his expression showed a little bit of resentment. No one would like their embarrassing scene to be watched by others.
"Boss, do we really not want to pick and take away the other people?" She hesitated for a moment, but decided to put the overall situation first.
"No, it's all rubbish anyway. Let's leave it to that stinky woman. The time is almost up and she's coming out. We can only stay out for so long today. We have to leave quickly." said the fish-headed boss. He looked at Suman and said, "Although you said you wanted to follow us, it's better to be safe."
As he spoke, a long thorn suddenly stabbed out of the fish's paw, "After being pierced by this thorn, you will slowly change like us. It will be useless for you to run away to the ends of the earth. In as little as two days, you You will completely become like us, and by then, you will be our true kind.
We fish people call this ritual assimilation. "
"Accept it, or die." He gave her two choices.
"Accept, accept, I accept." She chose to accept very eagerly, even as if she was afraid that he would disagree. She quickly reached over and pricked the thorn with her palm. She was joking. After working all night, she waited How could you miss it at this time?
"You" the fish-headed boss wanted to say something, but when he saw blood flowing out of her palms, he swallowed his words. He comforted himself that there must be people like this in this world who think they are smart and want to take risks. , I feel like I am the protagonist.
"Forget it, let's go." He waved his hand, and the group of them walked out of the fog along the way they came before.
And after they walked into the heavy fog, every time they took a step, there would be an inexplicable bell ringing.
"What is this ringtone?" Suman had no fear of the unknown at all. On the contrary, he wanted to find out everything along the way.
"Bumpkin, what kind of ringing is this? This is the sound of the guiding stone! Otherwise, how do you think we can get out of this heavy fog?" The archery murloc woman rolled her eyes and looked down upon her, "This heavy fog But that stinky woman came up with something to protect those villagers! Without this guiding stone, we wouldn’t be able to get out of this fog for eight hundred years!”
After her reminder, Suman saw that the fish-head boss was indeed holding two small stones in his hands, like playing with walnuts. When he turned them, a sound came out.
If you observe for two more seconds, you will find that the fish-headed boss probably identifies the direction of the sound waves to find his way.
She thought that the archer fish man would keep talking, but she didn't expect that after saying those two sentences, she shut her mouth. Then she had to ask herself, "Is this guiding stone yours? Who is the stinky woman you are talking about? Is she powerful?"
"What are we doing studying this crap? Of course it belongs to that stinky Haenyeo woman."
"Ahem, Meiyu, you talk too much, which affects my judgment of the direction." The fish-headed boss coughed and suppressed all Meiyu's words back into his stomach.
Suman felt quite regretful. She turned around and glanced at the fish-headed boss. It was not clear for a moment whether he really couldn't tell the direction, or whether he deliberately didn't want her to know too much.
But even those two sentences in beautiful English carry a lot of information. This fish tribe and the haenyeo indeed have a grudge, and both parties must know each other.
Meiyu stopped talking, and the whole journey was silent again. Only the sound of the guiding stone kept jingling. To be honest, Suman was a little disoriented now. She didn't know whether the fish-headed boss did it on purpose or something else. Because of this, she felt that they had been walking in this fog for a long time, and there was a feeling that they would never end.
And just when she was falling asleep listening to the ringtone, the fish-headed boss suddenly stopped, with a very serious fish face, "Here he comes!" (End of Chapter)
