I was just about to open my mouth to explain what had happened, but the finger bone key in my hand was suddenly seized by someone else without warning, and what I didn't expect was that the person who seized the key was Chen Si.

"What to do with so much nonsense! Didn't she say that she had opened the key to the wall of thorns again? Then hurry up and change and leave! I don't want to stay in this place at all! ”

Chen Si's sudden behavior interrupted what I was about to say, and before I could react, Chen Si had already yelled at me and handed the key to the mermaid.

The mermaid looked at me and then at Chen Si, lowered her eyelids and stretched out her hand towards Chen Si, I couldn't see the look in her eyes clearly.

However, a mutation suddenly occurs! The mermaid stretched out her hand and didn't take the key, but grabbed Chen Si's wrist and pulled her hard into the pool! The expression on the mermaid's face was hideous for a moment, and at the same time, the whole person emerged from the pool of blood, and the tail of the fish, which had been hidden in the pool of blood, appeared in front of our eyes.

I gasped at what I saw, and what was exposed to me was not the smooth and beautiful fishtail I had imagined, but a rotten fishtail with long legs!

There is nothing terrible about the upper body, but the position of the lower body, which starts from the waist, is a terrifying sight. The upper part of the fish's tail had been slightly decayed, and the scales that should have been as smooth and beautiful as the lower half had fallen to the ground, and what was even more terrifying was that there were two human legs on the fish's tail!

The legs grow from the top of the fish's tail, growing on the left and right sides respectively, at this time, squatting on the edge of the pool like the same person zama step to borrow strength, looking at the position that grows, it should only be possible to maintain this bent and half-squat posture to support the body, and cannot walk upright. Such an alien, which was neither a human nor a mermaid, made me stand on the spot in fright.

"Ahh

Seeing the original appearance of the mermaid so terrifying, and perceiving the mermaid's behavior of pulling him, even the most stupid person would not think that such a monster with a hideous face was expressing friendship, Chen Si immediately let out a sharp scream, and the key in his hand had been released and fell into the pool of blood because of fear, and at the same time pushed the shadow next to him towards the mermaid!

The mermaid was not obsessed with Chen Si, it seemed that for Chen Si, she was more interested in Qu Ying. When even let go, Chen Si caught Qu Ying, who was pushed towards her, and a hand went up to meet him, penetrating his chest and plucking out his heart!

It all happened in a matter of seconds, and I only had time to see Qu Ying's body falling into the pool.

Qu Ying is dead.

The sudden change of thought made everyone lose their voices, and the wolf fang reacted first, picking me up and quickly stepping back, while pulling out a dagger and standing in front of me. The others also quickly moved away from the blood pool, Lin Ya and Wolf Tooth stood together, while Fang Ruoxi and Yu Pu chose to hide behind Wolf Tooth and Lin Ya. I looked at Chen Si on the other side, just when the mermaid let go of her, because of inertia, she fell to the ground, Qu Ying's body fell into the blood pool, and the blood splashed hit her body, at this time, she didn't have time to pay attention to the blood stains on her face, and crawled away from the blood pool, and the fear in her eyes was unobstructed.

There is only fear, but no sadness or guilt. I glanced at Qu Ying's corpse, but I didn't know what to say.

On the other side, the mermaid actually swallowed Qu Ying's heart in one gulp, and then easily found the key that fell into the pool of blood, and opened the chain on her wrist, I clearly saw that after she removed the ring on her wrist, the long thorn that pierced her wrist was removed, and the wound on her wrist healed quickly, and there was no trace. The freed mermaid showed a smile, and that smile could no longer see the beauty and cuteness it had before, only full of hideousness and evil.

The merfolk stepped out of the pool of blood, standing on the edge of the pool with her feet bent over, her long tail falling to the ground, a position that made her look a little like a spider, but far more terrifying.

For a while, the mermaid didn't attack us quickly, but playfully picked up Qu Ying's corpse in the blood pool and looked at it, let out a sneer of unknown meaning, and threw Qu Ying's body aside.

I watched Qu Ying's corpse smash to the side, half shattered between its head and the ground, which made my heart tremble, and at the same time, I realized that the corpse was thrown at the edge of the table, where there was a familiar staff on the ground, which was collided by the corpse and slid all the way to the edge of the pool of blood, thinking that the wolf's fangs had brought it from outside the secret room.

After throwing away the corpse, the merfolk looked at our place with a cold and emotionless gaze. Her gaze jumped easily over the wolffang's shoulders and landed on me, and the danger in that gaze made me shudder and I couldn't help but retreat a little.

She pointed to me and said, "Give her to me, and I'll let you out safely, and I'll give you the key to the Wall of Thorns, and I'll do it." ”

I? I was stunned for a moment, and I could see that the mermaid was by no means kind, and fear grew in my heart, but I heard the wolf fang calmly say, "Impossible. ”

"Wouldn't it be worth it for me to just want her, and her death can be exchanged for all of you to live?" The mermaid seemed confident and continued.

"Impossible." The wolffang's voice remained firm.

The mermaid didn't seem to expect the wolf fang to refuse so quickly, and an angry expression appeared on her face, "Yes, then, you will die together!" ”

Seeing that the mermaid was about to rush over, Wolf Tooth and Lin Ya were obviously on full alert. Hearing the wolf's refusal, my heart warmed, and I immediately reacted and hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute! ”

The mermaid paused slightly, and looked at me with an unusually indifferent look that I knew was the gaze of a dead man. I took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in my heart, didn't dare to look at the mermaid or give the mermaid a chance to repent, and spoke quickly.

"I haven't finished the truth yet"

In fact, at the beginning of the story, it is no different from what we know. The princess of the sea fell in love with the prince of the land, and after making a deal with the witch of the deep sea, she transformed her fishtail into two legs and came to the land.

The young mermaid did not know that in fact, there was a unique virus in the human body, which was a terminal disease, and once infected, there was no cure.

The only nemesis of this disease is time, and in a long time, this disease will be cured by Wu Yao. It's just that human time is too short, short enough for this disease to heal itself, and it has become a terminal disease.

This terminal illness is called.

Love is something that no one can control, it happens quietly and does not know what to do. People who love each other always promise each other that the world is wild, but they don't know that love, which is a thing like wind and snow, is actually no match for the tempering of the earth, and it can't cross the death brought by time bit by bit.

The young mermaid carefully came into contact with the novel race of humans, there was no such disease in her race, her body had never produced antibodies, and once she came into contact with this virus, she was immediately infected to the internal organs and penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

This time, the Garden of Eden welcomed an uninvited guest, and the forbidden fruit of God was served to her table without hesitation.

The towering tree fell in love with an epiphany, and at the moment when the epiphany bloomed enthusiastically. But I don't know that the moment when the epiphany blooms is too short for the tree itself, and in the withering time when the epiphany is longer than the blooming, this love will also wither and fall.

The prince and the merfolk had a happy time, and in the time they were able to embrace each other, they found true happiness. But perhaps it is precisely because this happiness is too happy, this happiness is too happy, when time leaves traces on the prince, when his hair begins to turn gray, his teeth begin to loosen, his skin begins to grow wrinkles, and his physical strength begins to decay, the mermaid who is still young and embraces youth cannot watch happiness and happiness go away.

She remembered the power in her blood, a gift from the sea when it gave her a long life. She thought that as long as she let the epiphany bloom again, she would be able to regain the happiness and joy she once had.

It's just that the young mermaid didn't know that once the disease was cured, it would produce antibodies, and after experiencing the long consumption that this disease brings more than joy and happiness, even if it wants to be infected again, it may not be able to do so.

Once, when you ate the forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden, you felt the sweetness, but gradually returned to the bitterness that comes after sweetness. The sweet taste is fleeting, but the bitter taste lingers between the lips and teeth, so that when the same forbidden fruit is served to your table again, the tip of your tongue consciously thinks of bitterness instead of sweetness.

This virus that originated in humans has accompanied humans for millions of years, but even so, it is still a terminal disease, and to this day, humans have no way to control it, let alone a mermaid who comes into contact with her for the first time.

There is no way she can fall in love with the prince again, and the curse that comes with the blood takes effect. The price of a few days of regained youth was that the prince was aging more rapidly than before, and death was imminent.

There is another variant of the terminal illness that is called, and the alias for this other variant is family affection. The king and queen couldn't bear to see their son die like this, and they wanted to find a way to contact the curse.

Hurt and imprisoned at first just to keep his son alive, but the magic of rejuvenating is enough for anyone to resist. The temptation of life force changed the original purpose, and the desire for eternal life drove the king and queen mad.

They imprisoned the merfolk who would bring eternal life, and forced them to find a way to suppress and lift the curse. At the same time, he imprisoned his son who did not want to hurt the mermaid, and after feeding his son human flesh but was refused, he watched his son die.

After their son's death, they used his son's finger bones to make the key to imprison the merfolk, and kept their youth and life by eating the flesh and blood of their own kind, and they made a false impression that the merfolk thought that the prince was still alive, but they didn't want to appear in front of her again, so that her hatred was more pinned on the prince's body.

At the same time, they are also looking for a way to get rid of the curse, and this search is decades, until today.
