I Upended Yet Another Campus Urban Legend

Lift the quilt.

Qin Zhou put down the kit, knelt on the bed, and looked at Lin Yi distressedly.

Lin Yi was embarrassed by the look, and pulled the quilt over to cover himself.

Qin Zhou stretched out his hand to prevent Lin Yi from covering him. After stopping Lin Yi, he touched the large and small bruises on Lin Yi's body.

Seeing Qin Zhou's worried face, Lin Yi comforted him, "Senior, I'm actually fine, it's just a skin trauma."

'Miss Mermaid' screamed and went crazy after finding out that there was something wrong with the juice. Lin Yi was too close to her voice, his scalp was numb and his legs and feet were not flexible.

Then Miss Mermaid attacked him from behind. She grabbed Lin Yi's neck and bit his skin.

Fortunately, the onset of the poison didn't take long. Taking advantage of the 5 minutes, Lin Yi regained his strength and pushed 'Miss Mermaid' away, desperately running out.

While waiting for the elevator, he saw himself through the elevator doors.

There are large and small bite marks and pinch marks on his body, and there are purple and blue marks around his neck.

Seeing his embarrassment, Lin Yi thought, oh well, I'm going to worry my senior again.

There was no way to cover up the marks on his neck, so Lin Yi adopted this roundabout method of telling Qin Zhou to prepare himself mentally, so that the acceptance would be high.

Qin Zhou stood up and prepared to ask the housekeeper of 5005 to call a doctor.

"Senior, there's no need." Lin Yi quickly grabbed Qin Zhou's sleeve and said, "When I came back, the butler of 5005 saw me like this and brought me ointment. This is one of his services."

"Where is the ointment?" Qin Zhou stared at him.

Lin Yi pointed to the bedside table.

Qin Zhou went to wash his hands, and when he came back, he took apart the ointment, squeezed the ointment on his fingertips, and then gently applied it to the scars on Lin Yi's body.

The ointment stings a little when applied to the wound, but the overall feeling is cool, like ice mint on the surface of the skin.

Lin Yi still grabbed Qin Zhou's sleeve and didn't let go, he said, "Senior, I found something wrong."

Qin Zhou asked, "What?"

Only then did Lin Yi let go of Qin Zhou, and handed Qin Zhou a piece of note paper.He was afraid that the chanting of the mermaid would affect his thinking and make him forget his discovery. This was the discovery he wrote down after he came back to room 5005 and raced against time.

When Qin Zhou looked down at the contents of the note, Lin Yi was afraid that there might be omissions in the note, so he said, "Senior, I angered 'Miss Mermaid'."

So 'Miss Mermaid' pinched him, bit him, wanted to kill him.

But just 'can't wait', Lin Yi did not die.

After experiencing so many rule worlds, Lin Yi is well aware of the strength of NPCs. Once their death rules are violated, they are like killers who lock their targets. Killed by NPC's death rules.

Judging from the crazy reaction of 'Miss Mermaid', Lin Yi must have touched the reverse scale of 'Miss Mermaid'. For NPCs, their reverse scale is equivalent to the rules of death.

The contradictory and strange thing is that Lin Yi didn't die, he was just injured.

Is it because the time is too short?So 'Miss Mermaid' failed to kill him?

Lin Yi didn't think it was the reason, the time for NPC to kill was usually counted in seconds, Lin Yi lost his action under the singing, just waiting for Daozu's fish, but 'Miss Mermaid' just bit him tightly.

Even if Lin Yi escaped during the 5-minute chanting time, after 'Miss Mermaid' recovers, he can kill him again.The 'voice' worth 1000 million gold in the city that never sleeps must be expensive for a reason.

There is only one reason why 'Miss Mermaid' attacked but failed to kill Lin Yi, including not catching up to make up the knife.

Qin Zhou concluded: "'Miss Mermaid' has no death rules."

So new strange and contradictory points are derived in this summary.

'Miss Mermaid' must be an important NPC in the 1-3 rule world, because her singing makes the gamblers going to the Mermaid Hall go on and on.

Qin Zhou read the contents of the note again, "She has been staring out the window?"

Lin Yi nodded.

The two looked at the window of Room 5005 at the same time.

If Lin Yi didn't know that it was a window, Lin Yi would still mistake the window for a painting.

The sky is black, the sea is blue, the castle is white, the color scale is clean and distinct, and the painting style is really incompatible with the city that never sleeps. It is really like an artist drawing a castle in a fairy tale with a brush.

More and more like.

Lin Yi said: "Senior, there must be clues outside."

Otherwise, the setting of the window like a painting would be meaningless.

And before they entered the 1-3 rule world, they also smelled the sea breeze.

Lin Yi asked Qin Zhou for permission: "Senior, do you want to leave the city that never sleeps?"

Qin Zhou thought for a second, and called the butler 5005 in. He gave the butler 5005 100 gold and asked, "What's in the castle outside?"

5005 The housekeeper happily accepted the money, looked out of the window, and said as a matter of course: "Of course there are princes and princesses living in the castle."

Qin Zhou said, "You can go."

5005 The housekeeper asked: "Does the guest still need to renew the room?"

Qin Zhou said: "The room is due, we will look for you."

5005 The housekeeper just won 100 gold, and he was not worried that the two guests in the room had no money, so he nodded: "Okay."

Then exit room 5005.

After the butler of 5005 left, Lin Yi lowered his eyes to think about his words.

'Of course there are princes and princesses living in the castle. '

"'Miss Mermaid', 'Prince', 'Princess'." Lin Yi looked up at Qin Zhou: "Senior, Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Story of the Mermaid"."

"The Story of the Mermaid" is basically known to everyone. The mermaid princess rescued a prince who fell into the sea, and she secretly agreed with her.For the sake of the prince, she did not hesitate to exchange her wonderful singing voice for her legs. After having the legs, every step the mermaid takes is like walking on the edge of a blade.

But in exchange for infatuation is the news that the prince is going to marry the princess of a neighboring country, and the mermaid princess is heartbroken.

The sisters of the mermaid princess heard the news and gave the mermaid princess the sword she exchanged with her hair. As long as she kills the prince with this sword and smears the prince's blood on her feet, the mermaid's feet will turn back into tails, Can return to the sea.

But the mermaid princess didn't do this, she threw the sword into the sea, and she turned into beautiful foam. ①

Qin Zhou responded, and he was also thinking.

This Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale seems to have nothing to do with the city that never sleeps from the surface of the story, but after careful consideration, it seems that it is not completely unrelated.

In the fairy tale, the mermaid princess first exchanged her legs with her voice.

And the sisters of the mermaid princess exchanged their hair for swords.

Exchanging this is similar to the city that never sleeps.

Guests in the city that never sleeps can pawn their bodies to get gold. If they have enough gold, they can go to the right trading hall on the seventh floor of the city that never sleeps to exchange for anything.

Why is the Mermaid Hall called the Mermaid Hall, because there is the singing of "Miss Mermaid".

But why is 'Miss Mermaid' called 'Miss Mermaid'?She doesn't have a mermaid tail.

Or, what did she replace with her tail in the city that never sleeps?

Lin Yi asked again: "Senior, do you want to leave the city that never sleeps to have a look?"

Qin Zhou collected his thoughts and looked at Lin Yi who was covered in scars.

Under Qin Zhou's gaze, Lin Yi jumped off the bed and turned around: "Senior, I can do it! I want to go with you, don't leave me behind."

Qin Zhou hooked his lips: "I didn't think so."

It seems that they really have to leave the Nightless City. They don't know what's going on outside, but the Nightless City is not a safe haven, and Qin Zhou is not worried about leaving Lin Yi alone in the Nightless City.

Lin Yi was relieved after hearing this, and heaved a long sigh of relief.

The two of them left Room 5005 and went to the No. 8 pawn cabinet to redeem Lin Yi's pawned body.

The clerk of the No. 8 pawn cabinet had a sullen face. Several times he saw that he could keep the treasure, but in the end he failed. Looking at Qin Zhou and Lin Yi, he said viciously, "I have a feeling that you will come again."

Both ignored him and walked down the long corridor to the foyer.

But the doorman stopped them.

Just like the Pixiu who makes money, he can only enter and exit the city that never sleeps.

Lin Yi and Qin Zhou were not surprised either. If Evernight City could come and go freely, those squatting in the corridor might have more ways to change their money.

Since they won't give up here, they can only go to the right trading hall on the seventh floor of the city that never sleeps.

The trading hall on the right can stop 'Miss Mermaid' from singing for 5 minutes, and it will definitely be able to trade and leave the city that never sleeps. I don't know how much the price is.

They didn't plan to ask the housekeeper either. Although the housekeeper knew some trading conditions, the two of them didn't think that people who entered the city that never sleeps would still want to go out after being corrupted by singing. Leaving the city that never sleeps must be a new deal.

After paying the 200 gold service fee, Qin Zhou met the owner of Everbright City again.

The boss rested his chin, and the wide brim of the top hat covered most of his face, leaving only a delicate chin.

"Leaving the city that never sleeps?" The boss said 'tsk tsk' twice: "Brother's deals always make me very embarrassed."

"Okay, you're not the only one who made such an embarrassing request, one hundred and one thousand gold." The boss still held his chin and didn't look up: "The old price."

Qin Zhou said: "It's not leaving here, it's outside the window."

"Oh! That's it." The boss nodded meaningfully, as if he had seen through the back of Qin Zhou's transaction, "Looking at the last transaction, you didn't have gold to buy out the entire transaction. It's the old rule, let's count with time. How about 2000 gold a day to leave the city that never sleeps, the price is fair, right?

Qin Zhou weighed the kit in his hand.

Lin Yi pawned 2000 gold, and he won 4000 gold. He spent 1400 gold on buying poison and paying service fees twice. Lin Yi spent nearly 300 gold on juice and security, and lost 5005 gold to the 100 housekeeper. It took 2200 gold to return to Lin Yi's body, and now he and Lin Yi have 2000 gold remaining.

Just enough.

But the deal was necessarily impossible to complete.

The two of them had to leave some gold with them to ensure that they would not be taken away for lack of money when they returned to the Nightless City.

Outside, after seeing Qin Zhou go in for a while, Lin Yi knew that they didn't have enough gold to trade.

The man at the No. 8 pawn cabinet was right again, and they had to pawn again.

Lin Yi also understood the routine of the guy at the No. 8 pawn cabinet. The body parts that had been pawned before or that he proposed to be pawned but were not pawned at the time would depreciate in value.

Lin Yi didn't know how bad Qin Zhou was, and he didn't want Qin Zhou to walk out of the trading hall. If he knew the price, it meant that they had to pay the boss another 200 gold service fee.

Lin Yi deserves to be something that has never been done before and is more expensive, so that this transaction can be completed in one step.

"I take it as my life."

The clerk at the No. 8 pawn cabinet said: "200 gold, three days current period, 20 gold per day for interest."

Lin Yi pursed his lips.

The clerk saw that Lin Yi was dissatisfied with the price, and he said: "They are all regular customers, I didn't deliberately lower the price. I'll give you more at this price, go to another pawn cabinet to see if other guys will agree I'll give you 200 gold."

"Fate." The man mocked, "It's the most worthless thing in the city that never sleeps."
