Let the system try to save the world

"The corpse first turns into a drought demon, and then turns into a 犼." Xitong lowered his eyes and looked at Xing Fengchen. He was afraid that Xing Fengchen would not understand, so he explained it in simple terms, "The dead within a hundred days after death will turn into a drought demon. The corpse will not rot, grass will not grow on the grave, and water will seep from the grave. Only when the drought demon is burned will it rain. Do you know all this?"

"But..." Xing Fengchen looked at the body of his dead friend, then looked at Xi Tong, "He is Xiaozhe."

"Before he turned into a monster, he was my friend." Xing Fengchen insisted, "And even if he really turned into a monster, he would be scared now that he has no toys to keep him company."

"The teachers forgot to bring him the toy, so I had to give it to him."

"What if he doesn't remember you after he turns into a monster and hurts you?" Xitong asked.

"Xiaozhe won't hurt me." Xing Fengchen shook his head, "Because Yanyan... is a mermaid, it's also a monster, it will never hurt me."

"Humans and monsters can be friends! Even if Xiaozhe forgets me temporarily, I will find a way to make him remember our previous memories!"

That's great. Xitong had nothing to say.

Children's dreams are innocent but fragile. These boring adults have already lost the ability to dream. Do they have to shatter these dreams for the children with their own hands?

Shouldn't they fight to protect something so fragile?

"What are you planning to do with the Mirage Pearl to replace the little mermaid?" Xitong asked.

Xing Fengchen's eyes wandered for a moment, and when the mermaid saw that he didn't say anything, she slapped him twice with her tail, and then yelled at Xitong and said a lot of gibberish.

Xing Fengchen was not good at expressing his suffering, perhaps because no one listened to him or saved him in his previous life.

After peeling away the child's somewhat naive narration, Xitong pieced together the facts.

The Yun family father and son made their fortune by reselling smuggled wild animals. One day, they received a message from a regular customer saying that they had salvaged an unprecedented giant clam.

This giant clam refused to open its mouth, but judging by its weight, there must be something extraordinary inside.

Yun Zhao discovered the secret with the keen sense of smell unique to businessmen, and he spent a large sum of money to buy the giant clam.

Yun Zhao tried every possible way and consulted many experienced fishermen, and finally he found a solution.

An old fisherman told an ancient legend that such a large mirage might have turned into a dragon.

The favorite food of the mirage dragon is swallows. It is said that the main purpose of the mirage dragon's jet to create an illusion is to lure swallows into its mouth. Maybe this method can be used to make the giant clam open its mouth.

Yun Zhao was overjoyed. He bought a large number of swallows and roasted them in front of the giant clams.

The giant clam indeed opened its mouth, but what came out was not the big pearl or the antique from the shipwreck as Yun Zhao and his son thought.

Instead, it was a young mermaid that was almost fainting from hunger.

Yun Zhao was amazed. Although the mermaid attacked several fishermen present, he never thought of releasing the mermaid back into the sea.

Since the rumor that mirage dragons like to eat swallows is true, is it possible that the rumor that eating piranha meat can make people immortal is also true?

At this point in the story, Xing Fengchen showed Xitong and the others the scars on the mermaid's armpits. The scars were hidden, further proving that what they said was true.

Mermaid meat certainly won't make people immortal, otherwise Yun Yangxi wouldn't have been found dead in the aquarium. Xitong shook her head.

Then a very important character appeared.

The former director of the Love Orphanage, Zhu Yingxi, has always been in everyone's mouth.

Zhu Yingxi is not only the head of hundreds of human children in the Love Orphanage, but also the father of several non-human creatures underground.

He has a high level of cultivation and does not stay in the orphanage for long, but every time he goes out, he will bring back a few human or monster cubs.

During the day, human children played happily. At night, under the restraint of Zhuyingxi, human children were forbidden to go out at night, and the monsters could temporarily enjoy this hard-earned freedom.

Xing Fengchen is probably the most special one among all the cubs. His eyes make him the first to discover that there are so many friends at night.

The mermaid had a pure mind and was about the same age as Xing Fengchen, so the man and the fish soon became best friends. Xing Fengchen often brought human food to the mermaid without telling the teacher, or secretly brought the mermaid to his dormitory to play.

Zhu Yingxi tacitly approves of this, and he may also be exploring ways for humans and monsters to coexist.

This perfect life lasted until Zhu Yingxi disappeared, or passed away.

Monsters that have lost their owners do not have the rationality of humans. After several attacks, this hidden monster paradise was once again made public. People from all walks of life flocked to it and joined forces to quietly control it.

They invited the best from all walks of life and secretly conducted various researches to satisfy their various wishes of immortality, wealth as great as a country, or eternal youth.

The children living on the ground have no worries and are the best breeding ground for verifying the experimental results.

Xitong added the subsequent ending for Xing Fengchen. The art performance they saw was ostensibly an investment in the children of the orphanage, but in fact it was a grand auction. The one with the highest bid could take these ownerless monsters away.

Yun Yangxi had seen mermaids when he was a child, and since then he has had a special liking for this creature. After Zhu Yingxi passed away, he often came to "play" with the mermaids.

As a close friend of the mermaid, Xing Fengchen would naturally not allow Yun Yangxi to bully his ignorant friend. Every time Yun Yangxi came, he would bring the mirage pearl left by Lou Shen and deal with Yun Yangxi on behalf of the mermaid.

Xing Fengchen was much smarter than the mermaid, and he could perform some tricks occasionally without being discovered.

This actually laid the groundwork for the tragedy that followed. Xitong suppressed the regret in his eyes.

There is no way for humans to disguise themselves as monsters.

He speculated that Xing Fengchen left the orphanage later, but by a twist of fate he was hired by the Yun family's aquarium. Yun Yangxi recognized this face, so naturally he wanted to keep him under control, at least to find out where the mermaid had gone.

No matter whether Xing Fengchen swore to die rather than obey, or Yun Yangxi got angry out of shame, a life still died in that aquarium.

Xitong figured out the key. He stood up and took apart the cage containing Meiluzhe (Hanba) with his bare hands.

He waved the dismantled iron railing. The railing was very hard and heavy. The person who built it must have been afraid of these monsters with sharp teeth and claws.

Xitong carefully picked up Meluzhe's body and placed it next to the man he had knocked down earlier.

Blood was gushing out from the back of that man's head. When the vengeful spirits in Xitong's space saw him, their resentment became stronger. They struggled and used their bodies to hit the barrier of the space, trying to tear him into pieces.

His flowing blood seemed to have life, flowing along the ground towards Meluzhe's body.

"This blood debt must be repaid with blood." Xitong said softly.
