"Then let's die again." The mermaid's voice was calm, her eyes were fixed on the ghost, and she raised the dagger she was holding in her hand, "This dagger has magic on it, and it can be used not only on humans, but also on ghosts. ”

As she spoke, she moved forward, the distance between her and the ghost shortened again, and the dagger in her hand was raised to the ghost's chest, "Just stab this dagger into your chest, even if you are a ghost now, your soul will dissipate, so that the curse on me will be lifted, and those travelers will not have to die, I will give them the key to the wall of thorns and let them go." ”

The tip of the dagger almost touched the ghost's chest, and the mermaid leaned over slightly, her lips pressed to the side of the ghost's ear, "How's it going?" Die for me one more time, if you really love me. ”

The merfolk and the ghosts weren't talking very loudly, and even I could only hear them. I was startled when I heard the mermaid's words, and I turned my head to look at the ghost, not knowing if I should say or do something. From a personal emotional point of view, I don't want the ghost to dissipate all the souls like this, even if he is just an earthling created by the earth's consciousness, but right now, I can't distinguish these earthlings from real people, or souls or any other thinking and emotional beings.

But my sanity tells me that I can't do anything.

If we consider the mermaid and the prince without the emotional factor, each of their individual choices should have been decided at the time they were created. This choice may be helpful or dangerous for us, and it should also change because of our choice. However, if we look at Endless Room as a survival game, each of our choices should be prioritized, and the option that is most conducive to our safety is the best way to escape from here.

And in the current situation, having the mermaid kill the prince to lift the curse is the safest option for us.

Therefore, I can't do anything.

I looked at the ghost's back, his pearly white body was slightly glowing, almost transparent, and my vision could directly penetrate his body to see the mermaid over there, and his body should be the location of the heart, and there was an "e" suspended that represented the identity of the earthling.

"Honey, I said, I love you, both before and now." The ghost's voice was calm and soothing, even with a slight smile, "So my answer is still good." ”

I pursed my lips and listened to the ghost explain the answer, and I felt relaxed all at once, but after I relaxed, I suddenly felt a lot of trepidation in my heart. Actually, I know very well what kind of answer he will give, but I can't be completely sure, and when I hear the expected answer, I don't feel sad or sad, but relaxed physically and mentally, what does this mean?

I think I was vaguely expecting the ghost to agree to the merfolk's request, because it would represent my own safety. In contrast, how hypocritical and powerless is my so-called "hope he refuses", and I have finally become a person who sacrifices others to protect himself?

The mermaid looked at the smile on the ghost's face expressionlessly, and after a few seconds of silence, she suddenly revealed a bright smile, "Okay, it may hurt a little for the soul to dissipate, but it's only for a moment, and then you will disappear completely and you won't feel anything, are you ready?" ”

My heart tightened, my hand clenched into a fist at my side, and after watching the ghost nod, the mermaid's arm holding the dagger was already raised high—

"Plop!"

Just as I was nervously holding my breath as I was about to kill the ghost, the merfolk were suddenly knocked to the side by something and fell directly into the pool, making a loud noise and splashing, interrupting the action of killing the prince.

I subconsciously raised my hand to block the splash that was splashing at me, only to realize that it was the queen who had just been ignored and pounced on the mermaid.

By this time she had let go of the king's corpse, regardless of her own embarrassment from the pool of water and blood, and stood in front of the ghost with her arms outstretched and in the posture of a protector.

"If you want to kill you, kill me, it was me and his father who imprisoned you, if you must kill someone to lift the curse, then kill me!"

When I heard the Queen's words, I was breathless, and I didn't know what to think for a while. I didn't expect that she would be the one who would protect the prince in the end, but there's nothing wrong with that, is there? After all, she is also a mother, and when I came back to my senses, I realized that I had just unconsciously clenched the wolf tooth necklace on my chest, and a deep tooth mark had been bitten on my lips. Let go of the force on the teeth, and the tip of the tongue subconsciously licked the traces of the tooth marks, there was some pain and itching, just like my mood now.

"Kill you? What am I killing you for? The mermaid had already stabilized herself in the pool water, and the upper half of the human body was partially exposed, and she sneered, "What am I going to kill you for?" You think you can lift my curse? Only by plunging a dagger into the prince's heart can the curse be lifted, you? Huh"

The queen was about to say something, but her body suddenly shook, or the ground under our feet suddenly shook violently. The tremor came violently and suddenly, as if the location of the tremor was close at hand, and the force was enormous. I was already injured and had no strength, and the sudden shaking caused me to fall unsteadily to one side, and my waist was hitting the table next to me where the knives were kept.

A sharp pain came from the side of my waist, and the violent collision also tore the wound on my chest, and I fell directly to the ground, desperately holding the table leg with my right arm and trying to stabilize my body, afraid that the wound on my chest would be pulled again.

"Don't leave!"

The sharp pain made my eyes flutter, the sound of wolf fangs came, and at the same time, the pendant I was holding in my left hand suddenly emitted a violent burning sensation, and I instinctively let go of my hand, but the pendant did not fall to the ground but swept away in the direction of the ghost as if it had been bounced off by something.

"Don't leave! How are you! ”

The sound of the wolf's tooth came again in my ears, and at the same time, my body was held by a person, and I realized that the wolffang had rushed to my side, which was probably the reason why the pendant bounced open.

I shook my head to indicate that I was okay, but was about to say something when I was interrupted by a slightly familiar shrill scream and the screams of humans.

"Ho cluck—"

"Ahh

The screams of human beings came either from Chen Si or Fang Ruoxi, and I was more concerned about what made them scream. Looking in the direction of the sound, a familiar creature came into view—

The spiky vine branches, a flower in the shape of a big mouth with sharp teeth, and the yellow-green mouth on the sharp teeth of Sen Sen are constantly dripping, which is the bigmouth flower I have seen before!

How did it end up here? The witch has already been killed by us, and we haven't used the staff to summon and so on!?

I looked towards the edge of the pool of blood, and sure enough, the staff was no longer there! If you think about it carefully, the Scepter of Qu Ying's Death was touched by the edge of the pool before, and we never had a chance to get it back, probably because the queen inadvertently touched the scepter into the pool of blood when she pounced on the mermaid just now, so this monster was summoned!

It was clear to us that the Bigmouth Flower was both an opportunity and a danger to summon it, and whether or not to use a staff had always been a matter of careful consideration, but now it was unexpectedly summoned by us unprepared, which made our situation a little more dangerous.

With a roar, the thick vine flicked the note and attacked the three closest to her—the merfolk, the ghost, and the queen.

After all, the largemouth flower appeared in the water, and the merfolk were nimble enough to dodge its first attack. The ghost was disembodied, and the branches pierced through his body without harming him. After all, the queen was an ordinary person, and her reaction was far less sensitive than that of the two people, and because the distance was too close, she was struck by the rattan, and the whole person flew upside down, smashed on the wall next to her, and fell to the ground. I looked at the queen and found that she was dead without even making a sound, but I was mistaken?

After the first round of attacks, the ghost quickly leaned towards the mermaid's side, blocking between the mermaid and the largemouth, and the mermaid was slightly stunned, but did not say anything.

And just now, while attacking the three of them, the bigmouth flower also stretched out a few other branches, quickly rolled up the king, Qu Ying, and the corpses that had been hanging in the secret room as food for the king and queen, retracted back to the side of the flower and threw them into the big mouth.

With a few words the corpse was thrown into the mouth, the jaw snapped shut, and with the chilling sound of chewing bones, a piece of blood and fragments of the corpse spurted out from between the sharp teeth, and soon the bones were gone.

"You can't beat this monster, I'll protect you and give me your dagger!" I heard the ghost shout to the merfolk, "That's the only weapon I can touch, give it to me and I'll kill it!" ”

By this time, the wolf fang had taken me into the passage, and so did the others. We haven't gotten the keys to the Wall of Thorns yet, so we can't leave here, so we'll have to stay here and see what happens. Fortunately, the secret room is quite sturdy, and hiding in the passage can avoid a lot of dangers. Wolf Fang stood at the entrance of the passageway, guarding against possible attacks, and I stood behind him and watched the chamber through the gap beside him.

The merfolk heard the ghost's words but did not say anything, nor did she mean to hand the dagger to the ghost, but only tried to keep the distance from the largemouth to prevent the second wave of attacks.

"I won't hurt you! After trying to kill this monster, I'll let you kill me and lift the curse! ”

The ghost continued to shout to the merfolk, his voice filled with genuine anxiety and concern, but the merfolk remained unmoved.

At this time, the second wave of Bigmouth Flower's attack has arrived, and the rattan pierces the ghost's body with a sharp wind sound and attacks the mermaid!
