Godslayer: My Girlfriend Red Tassel

"Leng Xuan, well done."

In the outer room, Ye Fan tiptoed and patted Leng Xuan, who was sitting there, her eyes full of admiration.

Squad 136 is full of hidden talents; the ones ahead are so dazzling that some people's brilliance is easily overshadowed. Leng Xuan is one of them. Unexpectedly, when everyone else panicked at the crucial moment, he was able to remain so calm and solve the mystery.

No wonder he's a sniper, his mental fortitude is truly exceptional!

Leng Xuan thanked him modestly, then his gaze was fixed on the door, and anxiety welled up in his heart.

Inferences are just inferences, and the final result will only be known after Su Yan comes out... Moreover, using biological science to explain this strange phenomenon is only a temporary measure to help Su Yan reshape his cognition.

The real reason that led the Nightfall squad into this predicament must be a thousand times more dangerous than this.

Leng Xuan knew he might be able to help Su Yan in front of him, but he was helpless against Lin Qiye and the others thousands of miles away. Even after exhausting all his knowledge, he was still at a loss.

Just then, Si Xiaonan on the sofa softly broke the silence:

"Sister Hongying, why don't you sit down for a while? You're making my eyes dizzy from spinning around."

Everyone looked up at the sound and saw Hongying pacing back and forth at the door with her hands tightly clasped together. Her anxious appearance was a far cry from her capable demeanor these days; she was now a young girl with her worries written all over her face.

“That’s right, Mu Tou Ying, sit down for a bit,” Tian Ling couldn’t help but chime in, her voice carrying a familiar Sichuan accent. “Usually, the women are inside giving birth while the men are out running around. Why is it the other way around in your family? He’s a man, he won’t have a major hemorrhage, what are you panicking about?”

She wanted to laugh, but immediately met Hongying's aggrieved gaze, and quickly raised her hands in surrender:

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. I mean you really don't need to be afraid. Leng Xuan explained it very clearly. Su Yan is just blinded by his own involvement this time. Once he comes to his senses, with his cunning mind, how many people in this world can outsmart him?"

"Yes, I wholeheartedly agree with what Tian Ling said."

Zhao Kongcheng's voice came from the inner room, and then the door was pulled open. He walked out, his hands covered in blood, carrying a fleshy tumor the size of a palm. He weighed it in his hand and said sarcastically:

"Congratulations! One pound and six ounces, father and son are safe and sound."

"Old Zhao, take this thing away from me, it disgusts me." Su Yan followed him out, looking radiant and showing no signs of weakness, though a deep gloom lingered between his brows.

The moment that thing was removed, the absurd notion that "men should give birth" vanished completely.

What followed was the experience I had seen, heard, and felt in Atlantis these past few days, and a wave of fear washed over me.

It turns out that everyone had been in such a dangerous situation all along, without realizing it... No, it wasn't that they were completely unaware, but rather that their perception had been subtly distorted, and they had come to regard all sorts of strange occurrences as normal.

Zhai Ge ate insects, Pang Pang gnawed on bricks, and Lin Qiye went to the Prayer Square every day without fail to listen to the eerie sound that sounded like "?邎??嶢颸"... Thinking about it now, it's terrifying, but at the time, I didn't feel anything was wrong.

"Su Yan." Hong Ying quickly approached, her previous feigned playfulness completely gone, replaced by a look of utter panic as if she had almost lost her most precious friend.

Ignoring the stares of others, she threw herself into Su Yan's arms, tears streaming down her face.

I thought to myself, let whoever wants to laugh, laugh!

Anyway, there are no outsiders here, and everyone knows about the life-or-death friendship between her and Su Yan!

"Don't cry, don't cry, I'm really fine." Su Yan patted her back gently, and amidst the "auntie smiles," he shamelessly teased, "It's just that I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I've discovered that I really can't do childbirth, so you'll have to suffer in the future."

"No...don't talk nonsense."

Hongying buried her face in his chest, giving him a couple of light punches in annoyance, and then wiped her snot and tears on his clothes. When she looked up again, she finally smiled through her tears, her eyes filled with the bright light of something she had lost and then regained, her voice barely audible.

"Let's talk about it when no one's around..."

"Ahem, ahem, ahem." The oblivious bald monk coughed twice, interrupting the intimate moment between his good friends, and asked three questions in quick succession:

"Where is the Nightfall Squad located now? What happened to them? Are there any casualties?"

Su Yan raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down.

He sat down, closed his eyes, and concentrated for a moment. Then he opened his eyes and began to recount everything he had seen, heard, and experienced in Atlantis, starting from when he entered the mouth of the giant whale, with extremely clear logic.

During the detailed retelling, a sudden realization flashed through Su Yan's mind.

Humans have a "generative effect": compared to passively receiving information, actively telling someone about something makes it more memorable and easier to understand, which is far more effective than simply recalling it in your mind.

At this moment, through this complete review, Su Yan was shocked to realize:

His and Shen Qingzhu's perceptions were distorted, and it didn't even begin when they drank the so-called "holy water" on the "Whale Crossing"!

Looking back now, there were no buckets of drinking water in the storage compartments of Whale Crossing. They were clearly enormous fleshy worms! What they called "taking water" was actually cutting open the worms' bellies and taking out the smaller worm eggs.

—It was the white, fleshy worm that was still wriggling slightly on the table, emitting a foul stench.

The two people at the time were already deluded and regarded it as a treasure, thinking it was a sweet water source!

Just thinking about how she had been biting open insects and sucking their juices these past few days made Su Yan's face turn pale, and waves of nausea surged up from her.

Ye Fan listened to Su Yan's clear and logical explanation, knowing that he was indeed out of danger, and felt somewhat relieved.

But this was followed by deep concern about the situation of the Nightfall squad.

He silently recited the Diamond Sutra several times in his mind, forcing himself to calm down, and then summarized in a deep voice:

"So, after you and Shen Qingzhu entered Atlantis, you were briefly unconscious. In fact, your perceptions had already been tampered with at that time. Consuming these insect eggs afterwards only further triggered that distortion."

“That’s right, and it feels like the person behind this is extremely familiar with us,” Su Yan nodded.

"He placed Shen Qingzhu and me in the 'Fish Tail Tavern,' and Lin Qiye in the 'Prayer Square.' If we switched places, given Lin Qiye's caution, he would never touch any unknown food unless he was on the verge of death; and if I were in the 'Prayer Square,' the mermaid's song was essentially a mental attack, which I was completely immune to..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan suddenly found the crux of the matter, and his brows furrowed:

"The Night Watch has repeatedly ordered that the special team must not eat any food of unknown origin while on missions. Why don't you listen?"

Su Yan was taken aback upon hearing this, blinked rapidly a few times, then beat his chest and stamped his feet, lamenting with heartache:

"It's all my fault! It's all my fault! He was so greedy and forced me to try a little... I thought he wouldn't hurt me, right? So, I just took a tiny sip..."

"This is outrageous!"

Ye Fan nodded slightly and said nothing more.

At the same time, everyone in Squad 136 curled their lips into a silent, cold laugh.

"hehe."

Just take that with a grain of salt... Usually, it's definitely Su Yan who caused this kind of trouble, no doubt about it!
