Hearing this, the young executive looked at Li Kui and his expression became serious.

"Huh? Did you hear it wrong? How could I say such a thing?" Li Kui said innocently.

"Then why are the weapons you brought fishing nets and spear guns? You seem to be well prepared."

"The big star has misunderstood." Brother Wang stood up to defend Li Kui: "We have played many games, so it is normal to have such weapons for self-defense, right? Is there a rule that we cannot use weapons related to fishing and hunting?"

This group of people united and refused to admit their mistake, and Luo Mingdeng was temporarily in a stalemate.

Jiang Yuan, who was standing by, asked the old lady in confusion: "Has it become so serious after entering the game? Is it serious?"

The old lady hugged her grandson tightly and explained to him seriously: "Of course this is serious! We entered the game through the strange cave, and after the game is completed, it will become a strange door. After that, people can enter the game through the strange door to brush props and experience. Do you know this?"

Jiang Yuan nodded.

"The law stipulates that Guimen must be handed over to the state for unified custody and use. Individuals are prohibited from keeping private doors, but these people said something like 'How did it get stronger?' This means that this is not their first time entering this game, so they must have entered through the private door."

"Hiding a private door is a serious crime that can lead to jail time!"

"Ah, so that's why!" Jiang Yuan showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "Li Kui, I was wondering why you pushed me and threw me onto the pirate's body. Do you know where the clue is?"

That's right! After getting the blind beggar's reminder, Luo Mingdeng remembered that the blind beggar had said that Li Kui pushed him, and then they found the first clue.

Li Kui was anxious: "You are talking nonsense, you blind man! Don't add fuel to the fire!"

"Then how are you going to argue about this?" Luo Mingdeng folded his hands and sneered, "This blind man and I are not in the same group."

"Okay, Luo Lao Er, you haven't cleaned your own ass, how dare you say others are dirty!" Li Kui began to make trouble: "Your dear brother followed that evil cult leader named Jiang to kill people and burn things everywhere, and made so much money. You must have benefited from it, right? How noble are you? You can become a star, but it's all thanks to your damn good brother!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

Ah, that's it. Luo Mingdeng doesn't like people talking about his brother.

He glanced at Luo Mingdeng and saw that the handsome young man's face had turned visibly darker.

A cold light flashed, and the Snow Shadow Spear reappeared. The Angry Star revealed a devil-like face, and spoke grimly, word by word:

"What I hate most is when someone calls me Laozi Luo Laoer."

"You...what are you going to do? I advise you not to do anything rash. I'm not afraid of you!" Li Kui was not willing to be outdone. He took out a spear gun. Several other men stood beside him and formed a circle.

The two sides were on the verge of a fight. Mo You, who was standing aside, could no longer tolerate it and stepped in between the two groups, shouting angrily:

"Stop it all!"

"I have an execution recorder on me! Everything you do here is recorded. I now order you to lay down your weapons and stop fighting. Otherwise, I have the right to hold you criminally responsible!"

After receiving the official warning, Luo Mingdeng snorted coldly, and both sides reluctantly stopped.

Seeing that the intimidation worked, Mo You breathed a sigh of relief and said to Luo Mingdeng: "Mr. Luo, if it is true as you said, they came in through the private door, then why did the others come in through the strange cave? This doesn't make sense."

Luo Mingdeng said in a deep voice: "In the game world, nothing is impossible."

Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly behind his sunglasses.

This young executive is still too young and lacks experience. As Luo Mingdeng said, anything can happen in the gaming world.

The aunt suddenly shouted, "Stop making noise, stop making noise, this little girl Empisi has woken up."

Empisi?

It took the other players a while to understand that the old lady was probably talking about the NPC.

It's hard for her to learn gaming terms at such an old age.

The frightened girl sat up, looked timidly at the players around her, and whispered, "Thank...thank you for saving me, kind foreigners. I am Princess Isa of Zhen Country."

Like all NPC characters, she recites her lines.

Mo You gently helped her up and asked, "Princess Isa, what happened here?"

The princess straightened her uniform jacket and said, "I was originally going to take the Everrose to the North to marry Prince Allen, but I didn't expect to encounter the Kraken on the way. It killed the ministers, servants, and guards on my ship, leaving me alone, trapped by it..."

As she spoke, she thought of the horrific experiences of the past two days and burst into tears out of grievance.

"So what do you want to do next?" Luo Mingdeng asked.

"Next, I want to go to the north..." The princess was halfway through her words. After seeing Luo Mingdeng's face clearly, her watery blue eyes blinked and she was stunned for two seconds. Suddenly she changed her words and said, "I... don't want to get married. I just want to go home now. If the warriors can send me back to Zhen Country, I am willing to repay you with 800 tons of gold."

Her eyes were wandering, falling on Luo Mingdeng's face from time to time. A blush appeared on her pale cheeks, and it was obvious that she fell in love with Luo Mingdeng at first sight.

All players: I didn’t expect you to be such a princess!

"If...if the hero is willing, I can marry him...that's also possible..." She said shyly, and then her true colors were revealed, and she fell weakly towards Luo Mingdeng.

However, the big star Luo was already accustomed to this situation. He pushed the NPC princess away without mercy and threw her right into Jiang Yuan's arms.

The fake blind man twitched his nose and raised his hands in horror: "Ah, what is that!?"

When the delicate princess saw the blind beggar's face, she screamed and fainted: "Ah!!! Monster!!"

Jiang Yuan:......

Your Highness, you shouldn't judge people by their appearance, right?

Most of the NPC's words were important clues or traps for finding the owner of the sect. After a round of discussion, the players decided to do as the princess said and send her home.

Except for the blind beggar and the little boy, the other players were divided into groups of two, taking turns to drive the boat to keep watch and sail towards Zhenguo.

*

The pale waning moon hung high above the Everrose like a sickle.

The huge ship cuts through the sea surface, the hull swaying naturally, accompanied by the soothing sound of the waves, like a lullaby that a mother sings to lull her child to sleep.

Lullaby? Who is it? It's annoying in the middle of the night.

Jiang Yuan was sleeping on the porch of the hall with a thin blanket covering his body. Half asleep and half awake, he heard someone singing loudly, disturbing his sweet dream.

Just as he was about to turn over and continue sleeping, a pair of light footsteps were heard, getting closer and closer.

“Da—Da—”

To prevent accidents, everyone slept in the cabin hall. Jiang Yuan opened his eyes slightly and saw a fool walking out the door. He sighed, stretched out his long legs, and tripped the fool.

"Ouch!"

The shrill scream instantly woke everyone up.

"What's wrong?! What's wrong?! What's wrong?!"

"What happened again!"

The kerosene lamp was lit, and the players saw the blind beggar lying on the ground, holding his lame leg and rolling around in a rage: "Who is this?! You have no eyes in the middle of the night, you stepped on my foot! Oh my, who did I offend again? "

Luo Mingdeng got up from the ground in a daze. He was about to curse the stinky beggar subconsciously, but suddenly he was stunned.

What am I doing?

Aunt: "Xiao Luo, what's wrong with you?"

Brother Wang: "Getting up at night? I know these pretty boys have poor kidney function."

Luo Mingdeng pressed his forehead: "I... seemed to hear someone singing... I came here in a daze..."

Brother Wang sneered: "Singing? No? You must have heard it wrong again!"

Jiang Yuan was angry: "Then why did you step on me while sleepwalking? Apologize now!"

"Right..." Luo Mingdeng then realized that he had been fooled by the blind beggar again. He bit his lip in time and changed the subject: "By the way, is it time to change shifts? Where is the executive officer?"

"It seems like it's my turn." The old lady came over, rubbing her eyes and checking the time: "Oh no, ten minutes have passed! Oh no, go out and take a look!"

Everyone ran outside. There was white mist outside the cabin and the moonlight shrouded the huge ship miserably, as if they were walking in a fairyland in the dark.

On the deck, Mo You was sleeping soundly in a wooden chair and was only woken up after being shaken several times.

"Oh, sorry, I don't know how I fell asleep..." She touched her head, feeling a little ashamed.

"That's good. It seems like it was just a false alarm." The aunt breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, where is Zhao Yi?" Brother Wang asked.

This was the name of the flat-headed man who had been beaten to a pulp on the deck earlier.

"Oh, he just said he was going to the bathroom... and then he never came back...!?" Mo You instantly realized something was wrong.

At this time, a slight sound was heard from the fog on the sea, like the melodious singing of birds in the early morning, or the natural sound of elves in the forest, melodious and pleasant, relaxing the body and mind.

"Zhao Yi is over there!"

The players looked back and saw a man walking out of the toilet at the stern. He had unsteady steps, an obsessed and lewd look on his face, his pants pulled down to his ankles, and he was walking towards the fence with his bare butt.

Luo Mingdeng ran and shouted: "Zhao Yi!!! Cover your ears quickly! There's something wrong with this song!"

However, it was too late. Zhao Yi jumped down from the broken railing with his naked butt. Luo Mingdeng was quick-witted. He took the rope from the fence, made a circle, and threw it out, which just caught Zhao Yi's ankle in mid-air.

“Plop----!!!”

The heavy object fell into the sea, the singing stopped, and something rushed over from all directions. Luo Mingdeng pulled hard, trying to pull Zhao Yi up, but the rope seemed to be wrapped around a huge object, not moving at all, and was even pulling him out!

"Come here and help!"

Others hurried over to help, and after pulling a few times, the force on the other side of the rope finally loosened. They seemed to have given up on Zhao Yi and allowed the players to pull the rope up, but the more the players pulled, the more frightened they became.

Too light.

It's not the weight of a grown man at all.

The rough rope was soaked by sea water and blood left a trail on the wall of the boat. In the end, they only pulled up a mutilated foot covered with bite marks.

Even three toes were bitten off.

The pleasant singing sounded again in the mist, and it sounded more gluttonous than before. Slender figures floated up from the sea. They could only be identified by their outlines, and they were all women.

"......laugh..."

"Hehe...Isa..."

"...Princess Isa, where are you?...Hehe..."

The bell-like laughter pierces the eardrums and sends chills down one's spine.

Although Mo You's mind was a little confused, he still recognized this monster immediately: "Cover your ears quickly! This is a sea siren. They are good at using their singing to attract passers-by, lure them into the water, and kill them to feed themselves."

The auntie next to him said, "It's okay, just look at me!"

As she spoke, she tapped on the prop bar on her phone, selected a palm-sized black speaker, placed it on the bow, and turned on the loudspeaker.

---"It's not my fault for loving you!!! It's because you're too handsome!!! Zizi---

Zizi---Since you walked into my world! ! ! !

Changed my life!!!!

It's not my fault that I love you!!! Zila--!!

It’s because you are too beautiful!!! ....”----

The loud and piercing subwoofer instantly drowned out the natural sounds, echoing on the sea, frightening everyone and making them wake up instantly.

Other players:…

There is a total loss quality subwoofer in the aunt's props column, which is unexpected but reasonable.

It lasted for just over a minute. Perhaps because the sound was no match for the old lady's subwoofer, or perhaps because of the difference in aesthetic tastes, the Sirens finally howled angrily and jumped back into the sea, disappearing without a trace.

"Where is the princess?" Mo You asked, wanting to get some clues.

"Here." Luo Mingdeng speechlessly lifted up his suit and tore off the princess who was hiding under his coat from behind.

"They...are coming, they are coming...they were sent by him...to catch me..." The princess' voice was choked with sobs and trembling.

Luo Mingdeng: "Who is he?"

"My parents said that when I was very young, I drowned at the beach because I was naughty. Later, I was rescued by an extremely ugly and deformed man. My parents wanted to repay him and asked him what he wanted."

"He said he was Poseidon, the god of the sea, and he had no shortage of power or treasure, but he lacked a beautiful bride... So he asked my parents to wait until I came of age and then... marry me... to him..."

Mo You: "And then?"

"My parents rejected it on the spot because the monster was so ugly, so he left in anger and made a curse before he left, saying that he would marry me as his bride sooner or later."

"My parents were afraid at first, so they didn't let me go to the beach until I was eighteen. Until now, when I'm twenty, the curse hasn't come true. My parents think that the sea god must have forgotten about it, so they arranged a wedding for me... But I didn't expect... I didn't expect that he would really come to find me..."

"Sea God, Poseidon." Mo You's face turned pale. This didn't sound like an ordinary sect leader.

The man with glasses at the side couldn't hold it anymore and collapsed on the ground: "What's going on, Fatty? How come this is different from what we agreed on? Didn't we say that we'd be done after killing the octopus? Why are there Sirens? Poseidon? What a mess!"

“How should I know…! My last visit just ended with killing the octopus.” The bald fat man stammered.

"So you really came in through the private door." Luo Mingdeng folded his hands and looked at them with interest.

Brother Wang denied: "No, don't listen to his nonsense!"

"What can't be said? I paid to come to this private door to play, and it was said that it would end at the Octopus, and we would divide the props and go home, but what is it now?! People are dead, and even Poseidon is here?!" complained the man with glasses.

"Everyone calm down. If there is anything, wait until we are out safely." Mo You hung up the phone and began to calm the players: "I just contacted the security department. After energy measurement, it was confirmed that this game has been upgraded from critical to critical."

"What!? Danger?!"

"Well, according to the known clues, the master of this game may be Poseidon, the god of the sea. We just need to protect the princess and defeat Poseidon, and then we can get out."

"Oh, Poseidon...it's easy for you to say! He is the god of the sea in Greek mythology, one of the twelve gods of Olympus!!!" The man with glasses complained. Usually, those who have the word "god" in the game are not easy to deal with.

Mo You: "Is there anyone here who has completed the critical level game?"

The players looked at each other, and finally Luo Mingdeng, Li Kui, and Wang Wu raised their hands. Jiang Yuan, who had passed the level of destruction, continued to hide aside and pretend to be dead.

Mo You: "Okay, including me, there are four people here who have passed the critical level, so it's not a big problem. What's more, Mr. Luo is... uh, the Goddess of Luo."

This was the first time that Luo Mingdeng didn't want to hear someone calling him by his nickname.

"I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to get out safely."

The players' morale was boosted by Mo You's words. Only Jiang Yuan, who was in the corner, saw that the little girl had kept her hands hidden behind her back, pinching her trembling right hand with her left hand, trying to pretend to remain calm.

The ship sailed on the sea for more than an hour. The white fog became thicker and thicker, but no monsters appeared.

Mo You: "It's not a solution to go on like this. We have to take the initiative."

The aunt asked: "What should I do?"

Mo You turned and looked at the princess: "Princess Isa, can you stand on the bow and help us attract the sea god?"

“Ah?!” The princess was frightened and pale as she hugged Luo Mingdeng: “No!! I don’t want to!!! That’s too scary...! I would rather die than see those monsters again!!!”

Luo Mingdeng skillfully and ruthlessly tore the princess off and threw her at Beggar Jiang again.

Princess Issa: "Wowa ...

Jiang Yuan: ...

Mo You: "Now it seems that one of us has to dress up as a bride to lure the monster over."

She had intended to take on this important task herself, but Luo Mingdeng suddenly sneered and suggested: "It would be best to find someone with little combat power and capable people to ambush nearby so that we can hunt down the Sea God."

Mo You nodded: "Well, there is only one candidate left."

Everyone's eyes were directed towards the blind beggar hiding in the corner.

Jiang Yuan:......

Luo Laoer, thank you so much.
