Let the system try to save the world

Loud ping-pong sounds continued to be heard from the direction of the Giant Clam Exhibition Hall in the distance.

"Don't look at it, hurry up." Xitong tied the mermaid and herself tightly together with a rope, "--show me the way, we will get your treasure back as quickly as possible."

"Ahh..." The mermaid has a low body temperature, and touching the human body is like holding a small stove. It cried out uncomfortably twice.

The mermaid looked at the pearl tightly held in her hand, but still endured it and pointed in a direction.

He Shuang and several other staff members from the Psychic Power Bureau have arrived. They are wearing masks tightly on their faces and are moving Jing Danhua's body into the body bag as quickly as possible without damaging it.

Mu Yiyu also brought some people and stuffed all the old documents in the filing cabinet into the bag. Their movements were quick and calm.

Mu Yiyu came over and handed the pistol that had just fired a few shots to Xitong, "I don't have many bullets with me, use them sparingly."

Xitong took the pistol. The gun felt very good. Mu Yiyu should maintain it regularly.

"Do you really want to take this thing to find... its treasure?" Han Yu tried to persuade Xi Tong, "It just ate a human, who knows if it's full?"

"Yes, the aquarium will be temporarily closed, so I'm going to look for it now." Xitong nodded, "I promised Lou Shen that I would help him bring the mermaid back."

"no sooner said than done."

Xitong raised two fingers and the shared umbrella placed in the corridor for tourists to use automatically flew over. "Hold me tight, Xiaoyu. When you find him, follow me home honestly."

After breaking through the foundation-building stage, cultivators can take off into the air and fly with swords.

Xitong and the mermaid stepped steadily on the transparent umbrella. He paid some attention to controlling the pearl at the entrance of the giant clam exhibition hall to prevent the energy in it from leaking out so quickly.

Or in other words, mirage pearl.

Xitong returned the mermaid's tear that Lou Shen gave him to its original owner. The mermaid calmed down a lot after receiving the mermaid's tear. According to the ancient custom of their tribe, he lifted a hidden scale on his tail and exchanged Lou Shen's mirage pearl with Xitong.

"How naive." Xitong said to the mermaid. He didn't care whether the mermaid could understand him or not.

Xitong repeated Ankang's words, "After taking away someone's family, do you still think he would hide important things in the Giant Clam Museum?"

"This will only let the mermaids know that the place where Lian Shen was before is not safe anymore."

“Ahh.” The mermaid called out twice briefly, as if to express her agreement.

"Well, tell me more and I can try to translate it into mermaid language." Xitong said casually.

The mermaid put his hand on Xitong's chin. Xitong grabbed his hand and turned left at a very fast speed under the umbrella under his feet. "Let me go, Xiaoyu. This is dangerous driving."

The mermaid threw something into Xitong's mouth. The thing melted in her mouth. Before Xitong could spit it out, the cold liquid went down her throat and into her body.

Xitong silently stopped flying with the parachute. He stood on the ground and scanned himself.

The physiological indicators were normal, so the food the mermaid had just given him was not poisonous, but it might be a little disgusting.

"Stupid human, if you get lost, put me down immediately." An ethereal voice came to Xitong's ears, and she was stunned. This voice sounded like singing, so beautiful that it was too beautiful.

"Can't you hear me when I talk to you? xx."

Such a nice voice can actually curse. Xitong scratched his ears in disbelief, and turned his head to look behind him, "Who taught you to curse?"

"I didn't curse humans, xx." The mermaid pulled Xitong's face, "Put me down now."

"What did you just give me to eat?" Xitong untied the rope around her waist, and Yusan followed behind the untied mermaid.

The mermaid lay on the ground and twisted forward like a snake. With this strange way of moving forward, Xitong almost couldn't catch up with it even with his spiritual power at the foundation-building stage.

"My tears." The mermaid answered as a matter of course, "Aren't tears water?"

Xitong nodded.

"Of course water is only useful if you drink it. What's the point of holding it in your hand from the beginning?" The mermaid was dissatisfied, "Foolish human."

"Here." The mermaid stopped at the corner of a staircase. There was an old utility room under the stairs. This place was so remote that it was not even on the emergency fire evacuation map, and no one usually came here.

"Is he here?" Xitong asked.

“Yeah.” The mermaid nodded quickly, raised its tail, and pressed the door handle with its tail fin. “This is our secret base.”

The door of the utility room opened, and the air was not as polluted as Xitong had imagined, with only a faint fishy smell.

This may be because the house is filled with containers of various sizes, including beverage bottles dropped by tourists and broken flower pots, all filled with water. Unknown emerald green aquatic plants are swaying in the water, full of vitality.

The walls are covered with posters of all sizes and handmade gadgets. Due to the passage of time, these things have been damaged and faded to varying degrees. The people who lived here before must have loved life very much.

There was a photo pasted in the most conspicuous place on the wall. Xitong tore it off. A red banner was hung on the photo with the words "Ningcheng Love Orphanage's Art Performance Thanks to Mr. Yun Zhao for the Funding" written on it.

In the front row of the picture, there is an adult supporting a haughty child. The faces of these two people have been angrily stabbed by a sharp weapon, leaving only two abrupt large holes.

Xitong judged based on their skeletal structure that they should be the father and son of the Yun family.

Children wearing exaggerated makeup and holding sunflowers stood in the back rows with forced smiles.

The mermaid, or rather the owner of this mermaid face, was the most conspicuous one. Xing Fengchen was the closest to Yun Zhao. He was wearing a small suit with a red bow tie, and the beauty between his eyebrows and eyes had already begun to take shape.

“My nest.” said the mermaid proudly.

In the corner of the room there was a camp bed. Its four legs were rusted and one of the legs was propped up with a half-rotten magazine to prevent it from falling down.

On the camp bed lay a completely skeletonized corpse, the skeleton of which was almost intact, and next to it was a fresh fish, whose eyes were not completely cloudy, indicating that it had not been dead for a long time.

The mermaid rolled the fish up with her tail in annoyance and threw it into her mouth, chewing it up including the fish bones in a few bites.

Xitong took off his coat, wrapped the bones and held them carefully in his arms.

"Be careful." The mermaid reminded Xitong, "He is afraid of the cold."

"He won't be cold now." Xitong said.

“Why?” the mermaid asked.

"Because he is dead." Xitong replied.

"What is death?" the mermaid asked more confusedly.

"Death means..." Xitong was at a loss for words, "The body becomes cold, and you can no longer walk or eat fish."

"Oh." The mermaid looked at the palm of his hand, wondering if he understood or not. "Then I will die too."
