The world is broken, the cubs mend it

The knocking sound at the door continued and became more and more rapid, as if someone was going to break in at the next second.

"It's so cold outside, and the waves soaked my clothes."

"Please open the door..."

"..."

The cries of pleading outside became increasingly miserable, as if someone was in great pain.

"Why don't you open the door?"

Yuanyuan looked at the wooden door that was about to be broken, and felt that the person outside seemed very pitiful and should be allowed to come in.

"That thing outside is not human, ignore it, it's dangerous."

Chi Xia raised his hand and patted her shoulder, then stood up, looked around the floor, and walked towards the stairs.

"where are you going?"

Yuanyuan followed curiously, and the wooden stairs creaked when she stepped on them.

"Don't follow me. If you get into danger, I may not be able to take care of you."

Chi Xia got a very high score when he first entered the game dungeon. This time he entered the primary dungeon through the lobby team card.

He had only heard about this copy in general from others, and he had to explore the details on his own.

"I'll go take a look with you."

Yuanyuan was bored staying on the empty first floor and wanted to follow him upstairs to find out what was going on.

The little girl was stubborn and Chi Xia couldn't persuade her, so she had to follow her step by step and took her up with her, telling her to leave first if she encountered any danger.

The overall structure of the White Pagoda is similar, with the second floor containing not only many mermaid skeletons but also scattered fish scales.

It is unknown how long these scales have been stored here. They have long lost their original color and emit a faint fishy smell.

Yuanyuan picked up a small piece of fish scale and held it in her hand, feeling inexplicably bitter in her heart.

"..."

Seeing that she was holding a piece of fish scale in her hand, Chi Xia thought she was just curious and didn't think much about it and continued walking to the third floor.

The third floor is like a small laboratory, with various instruments and test tubes placed on the dusty and cold tables.

It contained an unknown liquid, some of which looked like stratified blood, with the bottom layer being a blue sediment.

There are no mermaid bones to be seen on this floor, and there is no trace of fear, but there is an inexplicable eerie atmosphere.

The steps leading to the fourth floor also looked different, made of metal with traces of dried blue on them.

There were several long marks left on the table, as if something had been dragged like that before dying.

"Are you scared?"

Chi Xia hesitated whether to go to the fourth floor to take a look, and lowered his eyes to look at the child following his legs.

"A little bit..."

Yuanyuan was much braver here than before. After answering his questions, she continued to move forward with her calves.

"Are you really scared?"

Chi Xia was extremely depressed as he stared at her small figure. There was no sign of fear on her face at all.

It’s better to be young. A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger and is full of energy to do anything.

“Scared!”

Yuanyuan nodded vigorously. She was scared when she saw those skeletons.

"..."

Chi Xia hurriedly followed. The word "afraid" she said with a firm face was totally unconvincing.

As soon as Yuanyuan reached the fourth floor, she was so frightened that she froze, opened her mouth wide and forgot how to make any sound.

This floor was filled with mermaids. They looked like gutted salted fish, hanging upside down from the ceiling, stiff and twisted.

It must have undergone some special treatment, so there is no peculiar smell in such a closed space.

Chi Xia, who had witnessed more horrific scenes, couldn't help but retch.

He quickly picked the child up from the ground and covered her eyes with one hand.

Except for the fish tail, the upper body of the mermaid is almost the same as that of a human, which caused him to have a severe physiological reaction.

Such scenes are not suitable for young children to watch.

"Why would they do this?"

Yuanyuan's weak shoulders couldn't help trembling as she was blindfolded. She knew clearly that the mermaids hanging there were the same as her.

"..."

Chi Xia wasn't sure either. He looked at the steps at the corner, hesitated for a moment, and continued walking forward.

Now that we've come this far, it's time to take a look at the last floor.

He felt the wetness on the palm of his hand that was covering the child, and he opened his hand and wiped the corners of the child's eyes with his fingertips.

"Don't cry, just close your eyes if you're scared."

"..."

Yuanyuan sniffed, pursed her lips and said nothing.

The fifth layer is rows of glass jars covered with a thick layer of dust and with a row of numbers on the bottom.

These jars are used to store formalin in laboratories to store corpses. Chi Xia could roughly guess what was inside.

The white tower suddenly trembled, and the dust on the glass jar fell off, revealing the mermaid sealed inside.

Their bodies were dark black, but their handsome facial features could still be seen. They were immersed in formalin with their eyes closed.

Yuanyuan looked at the mermaid specimens inside. They looked very much like their father, with wounds all over their bodies and their tails were bare without any scales.

"dad…"

She shouted in a low voice, and the mermaids in the bottle seemed to be looking in her direction.

"Don't be afraid..."

Chi Xia was not good at coaxing people, so he patted her on the back, didn't find anything useful, and walked up the stairs and down.

For some reason, he always felt that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him from behind. When he turned around, the mermaid specimens were no different from before.

The knocking on the first floor stopped. Bai Qi saw him coming down from upstairs and asked him, "Did you find anything new?"

"No..." Chi Xia recounted what he had seen on the upper floors: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a laboratory used to dissect mermaids."

"A monster-killing survival game, let's see what clues we can get."

The scarred man curled his lips speechlessly after hearing what he said. They should think carefully about how to kill the mermaid and pass the level quickly.

"..."

No one refuted it. This was the truth, but if there were any clues that could lead to useful props, that would also be helpful.

There was no change in this sea area on the first day, except for the occasional knocking on the door, which gradually became numb to everyone.

Everyone started to feel sleepy at night. Yuanyuan walked to the door and pushed it, but the bolt was too high for her to reach and open it.

I had to give up the idea of ​​going back to see my father. I looked around, ran to sit next to Bai Qi, leaned on her shoulder and closed my eyes.

The fair and tender cub was holding half a piece of bread in its arms and snuggling softly beside him. Even Bai Qi, who was naturally cold-hearted, felt warm in his heart.

In the dark and cold sea, Vitalia leaned against the reef, her deep blue eyes gazing at the place where the child had left.

A long time had passed and the child had not returned. He was anxious and wanted to shout the child's name loudly.

But he seemed to have not had time to name the child.

He felt the invasion of humans. Those hateful humans, what would he do if they captured his children?

A human being with an evil heart will not treat his children well.

The people in the White Tower were drowsy. A low singing voice came from afar, like soft seaweed brushing against the cheek, making people feel like they were in a dreamland.
