This time, it looked like a five or six-year-old child.

At least they were able to move and jump freely, and their skills were sharper than the adult humans imprisoned in the secret room next to them.

It's just that judging from their expressions at this time, it really seems too calm—it makes people feel unusually confused, like the soul of an adult being stuffed into the childish skin of a child.

Those "children" slowly approached the "mermaid" again.

They didn't make any more moves, but seemed to be very affectionate, rubbing against their mother who had given birth to them out of the blood mist.

Xiao Gao was already shocked at this time.

In fact, compared to some of the terrifying scenes in the copies she had come into contact with before, the scene in front of her was not bloody, it could only be said to be ...... Weird.

And at least for her, she is not in danger now, these people in front of her are weak as if she can pinch them to death with one hand, let alone any sense of danger. But she still felt an extremely strange ...... Instinctive, uncomfortable and disgusted with such a scene.

Perhaps there is a more complex and strange feeling.

She took a slight breath and tried her best to make her tone appear calm, "It's—they're ...... Is your 'mother'? ”

Xiao Gao said this almost as if talking to herself, she knew that those humans in captivity had almost lost their normal speech and communication skills, and she didn't expect that someone would actually reply to her words.

Of course, not in the suit.

It's another presence in the room.

Chapter 281: Gold and Silver Village 60

"It's not."

The response to Xiao Gao's voice was very ...... It's indescribable, the tone is sharp and thin, and the tone is very slight, so it can easily be ignored.

The sound wasn't unpleasant, of course, but it was a little weird—it sounded like a young child who had never used a voice changer before, but if I had to describe it as young and immature, it seemed a little disagreeable.

Xiao Gao paused slightly, and subconsciously looked in the direction where he had just spoken.

Somewhat unexpectedly, and indeed logically, she found that the person who spoke was one of the ...... "merfolk" who was sinking in the pool.

It was one of the mermaids with a slightly bulging belly who responded.

At this time, the mermaid was still immersed in the pool, and the thick black and gray tail was flapping slightly, and the wet hair was so tightly attached to the cheeks and shoulders and neck. She seemed to have her eyes closed all the time, and it was only after she made a sound that she opened her eyes and looked over.

The under-eye is a clear and transparent turquoise blue.

It's also because of the strange silence of the mermaids in the pool when they first enter this secret room, or the stereotypes that those captive humans can't even learn to speak, so before that, the players didn't even think that these merfolk could communicate, they could talk, and any questions could be answered from them.

When Xiao Gao looked over in a daze, for a moment she was guided by her indescribable face, but fortunately she reacted quickly, and looked at her with some caution, so that it looked like a legendary creature.

"You ......"

"I am their companion. Not 'Mother'. She explained.

After a slight pause, he continued to explain casually.

"We are the same batch of 'sacrifices' that came out of the same batch, and after the mother gave birth to us, after all the energy in the body was consumed, it had no use value, so it was made into those 'feed'."

When she coldly describes "feed", players also think of the black eggs that were previously called fodder by the villagers and scattered in the pond.

It was a little creepy for a while.

"The sacrifices that eat these feeds will also be raised to become consumables for the next generation of qualified people. Most of them are eaten directly or raised as sacrifices to the 'gods' after they have matured. A very small fraction of these mature individuals will be left behind and transformed into more perfect mothers - so they will consume most of the body scraps left over from the previous generation as tools for new gestation sacrifices. ”

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, not because of mood swings, but just normal movements, and some of the water vapor on them dripped down with this movement.

Because it is about such a terrifying topic, the tone at this time is too bland.

It's like telling a wonderful, brutal story that has nothing to do with me and takes place in another world. But at this time, everyone present knew that it was the bloody truth that happened to her.

Although there is no special pronoun, players are well aware of it.

That's her.

Xiao Gao pursed his lips slightly.

It's hard to articulate the strange mood she's maintaining right now, and the nausea and nausea instinct that can't be suppressed after hearing such a story.

Or maybe a little bit of extreme burning anger.

Yuan Yuxue calmly looked at the mermaid in the pond, and suddenly took a few steps forward.

He half-crouched, his fingertips falling and touching the ground.

The ground was wet and sticky, and the cold temperature was constantly coming up. It was the water that overflowed from the pools that fell on the floor and was evaporated, and it was also the sticky splash brought out by the countless "sacrifices" that suddenly grew into the form of children.

In the sound of the small churning waves, Yuan Yuxue stared at the person in front of him and whispered something.

Although it was silent, the mermaid in front of her obviously understood what Yuan Yuxue had just said to her. She paused slightly, and suddenly a very strange expression appeared.

The corners of his lips curled slightly, like some kind of smile. But on closer inspection, her current expression is extremely numb, like a puppet.

Turning around slightly, she re-flooded into the pool, her big belly slightly hitting the stone wall, stirring up layers of splash, and under her body, there seemed to be a small patch of blood spreading out.

A mist of blood spread across the water.

She whispered, "I know many, many things, and I can tell you what you want to know." ”

"The memories of the past generations of mothers have been inherited by me through the way of eating, and you can use a lot of information that I know, it doesn't matter."

She said so.

It seems that the player's quest for exploration value has been seen through in advance.

Yuan Yuxue was silent.

Normally, the other party knows a lot of information, even a living walking log book, which is of course a good thing for him.

But what Yuan Yuxue thought of at this time was an extremely strange question.

According to her words, since she has inherited the mother's memory, even if the information that can be learned is very small, it has been passed on through so many generations of memory.

This sentence of hers is definitely not a big word, and it is indeed an important information point that players cannot give up.

- It's just what Yuan Yuxue thinks, but it's the other side that is shown in it.

Since she has inherited all the memories of the mother. Does she remember the pain of the mother's death, or even the pain of being eaten, clearly?

After a brief moment of excitement about getting important information, other players remembered it when they wanted to ask about it.

There was silence for a moment, and no one asked this slightly dangerous, too cruel question to seem unfair. They just silently stared at the person in front of them, and the tail wagging slightly under her.

Her voice came from the water again, slightly faint, and the eyes were staring at them from under the water, as if this was the only place where she could be safely accommodated.

"I have only one request."

She said.

"You have to take everyone out of here, give them a safe place to live, save them from being devoured and killed—and then, finally, kill me."

When she said the last sentence, there was even a smile on her lips, which seemed much more sincere than before, as if she had thought of a certain scene, and a certain pleasant feeling that freely arose from her heart.

Her pain had been so long that the end of any way had turned into some kind of ultimate pleasure.

"But you can't leave me here."

She added, "I don't want to die here, so you have to find me a place with a nice view...... No, it doesn't matter if the view is bad, as long as it's not here. She emphasized the problem over and over again, and said softly:

"This place is really ...... It's disgusting. ”

Yuan Yuxue looked at her steadily.

No matter what the element, even from the point of view of the achievement of the efficiency of the task, he had no reason to refuse.

But at least at this moment, he didn't respond for that reason.

The young man's red lips moved slightly, and he exhaled a faint invisible breath.

"I promise you".

At the same moment as he spoke, Xiao Gao made the same promise by his side, "I promise you." ”

"But it doesn't cost you anything, of course, if you can tell us something important — but that's not why I took you out." ”

"It's my own willingness."

Xiao Gao looked at her seriously.

Yuan Yuxue silently withdrew his gaze, and his slightly lowered eyelashes also covered his pitch-black pupils at this time.

Human emotions always seem to come intensely and directly, much stronger than robots.

He shouldn't think about such a question, but it seems that there is some voice in his heart that says the same thing.

Not for any other reason.

It's what I do.

The merfolk lurking in the water still looked at them with a calm gaze.

Eventually, she opened her mouth slightly, and layers of small bubbles floated from the pool.

She spoke silently, "Okay. ”

After it agreed, the settlement panel suddenly jumped in front of the players.

The sudden brightness of the light in front of them made them a little stunned, and they thought that some special alarm had been triggered, and only after they calmed down did they react, this is the settlement of the fixed inspection value after 0 o'clock every day-

I almost forgot about it.

They went out at ten o'clock in the middle of the night, but after a series of actions such as lurking under the water of the farm and coming to the secret room, the closed dark path and the bright lights running through the secret room, for players who are difficult to feel the flow of time with exhaustion, they also lost the correct perceptual memory of time for a while, and forgot for a while, and now it is midnight - the settlement time of each time.

The progress of this settlement includes the scene of the villager festival they saw late at night before, and also includes the information of the secret room found this time, so the exploration value skyrocketed for a while, and it jumped directly from 28% to 68% - the increase of 40% of the progress is much more than the exploration value they have collected in the past few days.

Yuan Yuxue glanced down, and closed the system interface very calmly.

And the other players also quickly thought of something.

Their progress has increased so fast, in addition to the fact that what happened that day is really complicated, I am afraid that the real focus is that they have mastered a very important information point.

As the "mermaid" in the pool said, she knows a lot...... Information.
