Chapter 164: My Treasure
"Uh, wake up?" Although he didn't know how to do it, seeing that the people who were restrained had their eyes closed but their pulses were still beating, Qiu Xuan approached and pushed the nearest sailor, and said lightly.
After a dead silence, the man tied to the reef pillar suddenly opened his eyes!
"Are you here to take me away, beautiful young lady? Great, how much time, I've been waiting for this day. Someone has finally found my traces, finally someone has found me......" The man's lips opened and closed, and strings of small bubbles came out between the words, looking like a big fish.
"Are you also a sailor who was lured into the sea by them?"
"That's right! It's those monsters, they lured me and tied me here to become a ghost! Blame them! At this, the man's emotions became agitated. His upper body rose and fell violently, obviously he was so angry that he wanted to break free from the restraints but was torn back by the water weeds that were firmly imprisoned. "Hurry up and save me! Take me out of this hellish place...... Uhhh β
In an instant, Qiu Xuan swam away from the man's side with a slightly awkward stroke, and a dark red stain floated in front of her, and the sailor's chest was already deeply embedded with a few sharp wings.
Raising his head from Qin Nanxun's severed limbs, the leader of the sirens withdrew the stump of the bird's body, hooked his red lips and looked at the corpse on the stone pillar with disdain and contempt, and said, "They are really too noisy, aren't they?" β
Qiu Xuan touched her nose, and just as she wanted to say something, she was interrupted by the siren leader. "Which one do you want to change, hurry up and decide, or I'll turn you into just like him."
"I'm fast, I'm fast. Can you help wake them all up? I'm a bit face blind. β
The siren leader Meimu glared at her fiercely, but he didn't say anything when he saw that Qin Nanxun's flesh and blood breath was really to taste, and he only began to sing the invisible ballad that Qiu Xuan couldn't hear in his mouth.
One by one, the sailors on the stone pillar woke up, and after a brief moment of stunnedness, they begged to let them go and let them return to the ship.
"Let me ask a question," Qiu Xuan hurriedly interrupted the Siren leader before she was completely angry and killed everyone, "Those who answer the question correctly can have a chance to return to the ship, so listen up - what is the one obsession that Gary can't let go of?" β
"Who is ...... of Ga", "It's his wife and children!" "It's family!" "Wealth, status!"
The men who woke up began to answer as soon as they spoke, as if they were afraid that someone would completely cut off their lives, even though it was obvious that some people didn't know who Gary was, and were fishing in the waters.
"It's his treasure." In the crowd, a thin and weak male voice replied like this, if Qiu Xuan hadn't listened carefully, he wouldn't have noticed this voice at all.
"Stop!" She stood behind the siren leader with a false tiger, and her finger tapped at the thin and delicate man. "You just said it was a treasure, so tell me, what is the treasure?"
"It's me." The thin man was tied to the stone pillar behind his back, and his thin face was blinding and pale because he had been at the bottom of the sea for many years without seeing the sun. "The person he cares about the most is me, and his most precious treasure is me."
ββ¦β¦β
"No, it's me!" "It's me, you slut! Oh my little darling Gary! I love him so much! β
β¦β¦ These men.
She sighed with emotion, and heard the siren leader in front of her seem to be tired of listening to this boring farce, and snorted coldly. "People have also woken up, and they have asked, you human beings don't want to get an inch."
"Well, then I'll take that ......"
"They're there!" Behind the submarine reef, a rough male voice suddenly sounded. Qiu Xuan frowned and turned around, and saw that under the leadership of a strong man, some of the executioners on the ship wore various oddly shaped props or abilities, and also came here.
Apparently no one expected humans to chase here, and the sirens were alarmed. Cracking their fangs and singing soul-stirring ballads again, this time, all the men present were as if they were deaf, and none of them were affected.
When they got closer, Qiu Xuan realized that they had sealed their ears with wax.
"Bring all those men back, and let that madman pick them one by one when the time comes!" The stout man wrote a line on the teleprompter and gestured to everyone.
Qiu Xuan could see clearly that Jiang Beihe had taught her in the surprise common sense science popularization that day, and the meaning of that gesture was: kill all of them, and leave no one behind.
The sirens' voices lost their menace, and she stared at the huggy sirens being slaughtered almost one-sided, as the executioner had already prepared and was fully armed. This time, Zhuang Xiao and Lao Liang also came down, and kept gesturing at her, gesturing to kill a few more, maybe this thing will also be scored. Qiu Xuan broke free from their hands and suddenly swam towards the several executioners who were surrounding the reef group to save people.
She pushed away one of the executioners and squeezed in front of the thin man, and shouted at him with the men's ears sealed with wax closed, "Now you can be rescued no matter what, so tell me, Gary's most precious treasure is really you!" β
"Yes...... It's me. β
"I'll ask you one last time!"
"What are you doing!" A female executioner whipped her hand away with a whip, and she pulled the thin man into a container they had specially loaded people, and said sharply, "You want to take credit alone, don't you?" Let me tell you, this time the score should also be all of us together! Even if you're the first to jump, you'd have died without us! β
Qiu Xuan didn't bother to scold her, and a fierce man rushed back to see the strong man in the lead raising his sword and halberd to sneak up on the back of the siren leader, she waved an elbow blow and slammed it into his abdomen, and pretended to be just passing by and pretended to help.
The man angrily looked around and couldn't find the sneak attacker, and with a wave of his big hand, he stabbed the halberd at the other siren. The siren let out a terrible scream, and the black blood that poured out of it merged with the sea.
Eventually, the surviving Siren leader took one last look at the sea of blood with a fierce and resentful look, and let out a long howl to summon his remaining companions. She forced out a mouthful of black blood with a sharp beak and mouth wide open to shout the last sad song.
Even if they sealed their ears, everyone present was stunned by this song of despair, and when they came back to their senses, the surviving kraken with the face of a beautiful woman had disappeared into the deep sea.
The sturdy man scolded fiercely, but fortunately, the results were quite satisfactory. He took out the sealing wax from his ears and organized everyone to prepare for the rescued men to rise.
"Hey, Hephaestus." Qiu Xuan slapped the pigtailed man in the crowd, interrupting him before the latter turned around and was about to chant a drama aria. "Do me a favor, store something in your space for me, just as I owe you once."
"Of course, my Eros, will always be there for you."
Handing over the shrunken impact artillery, Qiu Xuan was actually not gambling. Of course, she knew what this promise meant by being infinitely close to a blank promise, but thankfully, the long, stinking shock cannon was a half-finished product, and the Elpis virus couldn't activate it without her. As for why she chose Hephaestus instead of Lao Liang or Zhuang Xiao, who was in the same group as her, because to be honest, she didn't believe anyone in this testing ground.
Matters related to interests are not talked about for the time being, in fact, she is just betting on the name of "Caster Heffe", and the character who can be named "Caster" in a desperate situation will not be untasted to such a point.
And even if she really made a mistake, the person who was greedy for her things would not be too happy in the future.
"Thank you." Qiu Xuan smiled and glanced at the intricate and paradoxical pure black totem on Hephaestus's right arm, which also floated up to the sea level with the crowd.
"Hey, hey, what, Gary? Wake up! Your treasure has been found for you. β
On the same familiar deck, all the executioners surrounded Gary, who was drunk and fell to the ground, in the middle. Nearby, the men who had been brought back were tied up with ropes again, lined up like picking pork.
"You're too reckless, you really jumped like this." On the periphery of the crowd, Guihai, as a "newcomer who is not qualified to go to the sea", conscientiously did logistics work and brought a blanket and ginger tea to one of their group. Qiu Xuan rejected the biochemical weapon Jiang Cha, wrapped in a blanket and trembling, and suddenly in this moment, the inexplicably familiar scene thought of when she first entered the first trial ground, and she was also wrapped in Qin Jiuyuan's coat and sat on the chair of the villa cursing the cold weather.
It's just that at that time, I was naΓ―ve enough to treat the mountain game as a dream. She laughed self-deprecatingly, thinking that Qin Jiuyuan would never appear in this trial ground, there were too many executioners gathered here, and there were almost no such large-scale multiplayer online......
"Hurry up, don't you want to eat?" In the bustling crowd, a deep male voice said.
The sturdy man who was the leader of the previous submarine siren hunting operation twisted his eyebrows and stared back at the place where he spoke, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the tall figure in the crowd. "You don't even have the courage to jump into the sea to chase down, and you're embarrassed to fart here?"
"It's funny. The little girl who jumped down in the first place is braver than all of you, and you're embarrassed to take the credit of others and fart here? β
"Do you know who Lao Tzu is and how he speaks! You ......"
"Hey, forget it." "Let's finish the task first, let the personal grudges go......"
The crowd began to automatically become peacemakers, and the stout man finally glared at the man, and then violently pulled a row of people tied together to Garry for him to see.
On the other side, Qiu Xuan looked at the back of the man's head in the crowd with a strange expression.
Is it really a wish? She wordlessly pulled Zhuang Xiao's sleeve and said softly: "Did you see that man just now, do you know who he is?" β
Zhuang Xiao squinted his eyes for a while, and finally shook his head helplessly. "I don't remember such a person, and I don't think it's an important role. In fact, it is easy to understand that it is difficult enough to produce a person like Heffe the Smith in a trial, how can there be so many big people at once. β
She shrugged, her fingertips seemingly unconsciously rubbing against the outside of the ring.
The man who was holding his arms and watching coldly in the crowd suddenly wrung his eyebrows, shook his left hand and looked back as if he had some feeling, but he could only see the top of the crowd's black head, and nothing else.
"Hmm...... Hiccup, you're looking, you've found it? The drunkard named Gary staggered to his feet with the support of the crowd, and his flushed cheeks rarely revealed a hint of longing. Where is it? β
The stout man winked, and the people who were strung together were brought to Garry one by one, and the latter looked at it for a long time before muttering with a big tongue, "What about people?" You're not lying to me, are you? β
"It's all here."
"Are you blind to me, this is clearly a group of men, okay!"
"......"
"It's him!" A short-haired woman walked out of the crowd, and Qiu Xuan recognized her as the one who scolded herself for stealing credit at the bottom of the sea. The woman walked straight to the end of the line and pulled out a thin, cowering man, who was very rudely dragged in front of Gary. "It's him, I saw it!"
Gary narrowed his eyes and stared at the man without speaking.
There is a door. The executioner present sighed in his heart, and had already begun to calculate how to distribute the score this time, when he saw that the next second Gary suddenly smashed the rum bottle in his hand, and the sharp mouth of the glass shard stabbed into the thin man's neck!
"Orsay! You traitor, you still have the audacity to appear in front of me! β
His fat hand grasped the sharded glass and stabbed him several times in the neck, and the blood splattered with the lingering smell of rum, making a mess of the already unclean drapery.
The man named Osai hissed and choked in his throat, and finally his eyes rolled and his pulse stopped beating completely.
Gary still had his anger still poking several more holes in the corpse before he turned around with his eyes red and turned to stare at the executioners, who were stunned by the sudden accident. "I tell you outsiders! Don't try to fool Gary just because of your identity, this is our world! Our! By the time Leviathan comes into the world, everyone will have to die! All have to die, hahahahaha!! β
The executioners gathered in a group watched the madman perform coldly, as if they were all gods from the nine heavens, looking at the madman underground with superiority and pity.
Qiu Xuan pushed away the crowd and squeezed from the periphery to the front, she bent down to pick up the rum bottle left on the ground, took a sip of alcohol on the half of the gap, and then threw the completely scrapped bottle on the deck very casually.
"Hey, drunkard, keep your eyes open and see clearly." She said.
"Your treasure."
