Let me live [Quick Transmigration]

----

The number of people Lu You judged from the sound of footsteps was correct. Apart from the pink-haired boy and the man in black wearing a mask, there were two other people in the room: one was a tall and thin young man with a bright yellow repair box in his hand. , It should be the source of the powerless voice that saw the fish tail; the other is a slightly older man, with a white shirt and black pants, if it weren't for the black runes that are constantly spinning around his arms, he would look like an ordinary man. of office workers.

They were originally standing at the door, facing the corridor, probably in charge of guarding, but now they were all turned around by the noise in the room.However, the young man's distressed appearance didn't get the slightest attention, and the young man who repaired the box even added fuel to the fire with a laugh.

The Monster made a sudden attack just now, interrupting the boy's counterattack in half, and at the same time, he slapped the "Dungeon Monster" Lu You, who came out to attack, back to the water tank along the same path.After making such an act of "betraying his teammates", he didn't mean to explain at all, completely ignoring the boy's roar, he raised his leg and walked towards the water tank.

"Xiaoka, let me tell you that you have a better memory, right?" Before the angry victim spoke out again, the office worker man spoke in a rather helpless tone, "Last time you saw the princess who was polluted by the spell. If you don’t look at it, it will be regarded as a monster that has been destroyed, causing our mission to fail, and the Monster hasn’t settled with you yet..."

The young man called Xiaoka probably forgot this lesson long ago, choked up when reminded of it, and faltered for a while without saying a word.Lu You bent his tail and sank into the water, his eyes fixed on the approaching Monster.

From the words "instance" and "task" in these populations, Lu You has already guessed his own situation: he was probably cast on a monster or NPC and became a character in the game plot.

The "body" can only do those few repetitive movements in an automatic state, and it really seems to follow a certain program.So, he is now in a virtual world, and his identity is a set of artificially designed data and programs?

Lu You hasn't received the data transmission until now, so he can't confirm the identity of the target, and he doesn't know his mission this time.Therefore, compared to the fact that the target of the target is really artificial intelligence this time, he is more inclined to find out what went wrong-he just doesn't know if the target has a problem in the first place, or he unfortunately encountered a system failure.

Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out... This is indeed the real world, but it is a relatively magical world.This mermaid is a non-human low-level creature, controlled by magic or something else, and placed in a real-life game such as escape room as a living prop.

Lu You's hand was on the bottom of the glass jar: the slightly slippery touch, the coolness of the water, and the pain of the tail being bumped were all extremely detailed, as if they were real. Monster quickly walked to the side of the water tank. Lu You stared at the slightly reflective glass lens of the filter mask, unconsciously guessing the appearance of the covered face.

Whether it is an AI in the virtual world or a prop in the real world, it is best for him to act according to the "settings" and not be found abnormal.The problem is, Lu You doesn't know what the "setting" of the mermaid is... Well, maybe it has a fierce temperament?So instead of backing away, he leaned closer to the side of the tank near Monster, lifted his wet hands from the water, and grabbed the edge of the tank.

Mermaid's fingers are slender and powerful, and the special bone structure allows the nails to elongate and become sharp weapons.Lu You had already experienced the feeling of stretching out his claws just now, and he wanted to do so to increase his deterrent effect, but in the end... he couldn't stretch out his claws.

This is a bit embarrassing.The "setting" that runs in the dark is quite tolerant, accepting this lack of aggressiveness, not only can't threaten the other party not to approach, it may have counterproductive actions, and did not take away the control right because of this.

Monster stopped by the water tank and looked down at him. Even with the barrier of goggles, Lu You still clearly felt the gaze that seemed to be evaluating an item.After looking at it for a while, he stretched out his hand, wearing black half-finger gloves and bandages on his fingers.Lu You quickly dodged to the side, not letting him touch it.

Moster also dodged - the water tank was too small for the mermaid's tail, and the water would come out accidentally.He seemed to think that Lu You did it on purpose, and said "uh", although he couldn't see his face, Lu You somehow felt that he had smiled just now.

"How did you know that he is a dungeon monster?" Monster didn't take his eyes off Lu You, turned his back to Xiaoka, and said without looking back, "This is obviously an NPC."

"... Where did you know that he is an NPC?" Xiaoka's expression was full of suspicion, "This place is eerie, and a creature that is obviously not human suddenly appeared to attack you, and the reaction of normal people is to hit you talk later?"

"He's clean," Monster said.

The expressions of the other three became weird at the same time, and then two of them became dazed again. "It's true... There are no signs of injury, illness or stitching, which is much more pleasing to the eye than those upstairs." The young man in the repair box touched his chin, and kindly provided an explanation for Xiaoka who hadn't turned his mind, " Aren’t the creatures we encountered before all those deformed synthetic beasts? Only this mermaid is relatively normal, and it’s not because it’s new. Judging by the degree of water soaking on the ground, he has been kept here for a while .”

These people searched the upper floors first, and it seems that this room is probably underground.Lu You listened and extracted information: I met a monster upstairs... Synthetic beasts are the products of alchemy experiments with living things?

"There is a high probability that it will be a key character in the plot." The office worker man interjected. Monster nodded, and then he bent slightly, approaching the water surface, not worried about being attacked again, "Can you understand human language?" he asked.

Lu You wanted to say "yes", but what came out of his throat was a gentle voice like a bird's song.

"The voice is quite nice." Xiaoka, who just squeezed behind Monster and came to watch him, said with a little surprise, "Isn't the sea monster that can sing a siren? The one with a human face and a bird body, with feathers? "

"There are also people with mermaid tails." said the repair box youth who came over, and a syringe appeared in his hand like magic. In the state of pollution, the effects are different..." He looked eager to get closer, Monster silently stretched out his arms, propped himself on the edge of the water tank, and blocked the two guys who came to make trouble behind.

"Then do you know where Jude is?" He looked at Lu You and asked, "He is a young man with blond hair, around 20 years old, with a sunny personality. We are looking for him."

"This is the exact words of the old woman who entrusted us to find someone..." Xiao Ka muttered behind his back, "I haven't changed a single word."

Lu You shook his head. Monster then asked a few more questions, all of which could be answered by nodding or shaking his head, but Lu You didn't know anything about this dungeon, so he couldn't ask any useful information. "Have the conditions to trigger the plot not been fulfilled yet..." Monster murmured thoughtfully to himself, stood up straight, turned his head and glanced, the repair box youth smiled and put the syringe back.

"There should be other clues on this floor." Monster began to arrange actions, "Xiao Ka, Ye Jing, you follow me to search the remaining rooms, and the calamus stay here-don't be cheap, be careful of being bitten, The mermaid's fighting power is higher than yours." He lowered his head again, and said to the mermaid who just sank into the water with only a pair of eyes exposed, "Be careful of him, too."

As Calamus yelled "Monster, aren't you?", Monster turned around decisively and left the room with the water tank along with the other two.After Xiaoka went out, he leaned back again, grinning and made a face at Calamus, but was dragged away by Yejing.

Lu You finally matched the names of these four people: the pink-haired boy is Xiaoka, the repair box boy is Changpu, the office worker is Yejing, and the man wearing a filter mask is Monster.

It sounds like a net name.

He glanced at Calamus, which was said to be less powerful than a fish and was a little annoyed, but carefully kept a distance from the water tank, and then completely submerged into the water—even though the water in the tank was the source of the unpleasant smell in the room, But he couldn't smell anything in the water, so he chose to deceive himself.

It's a dungeon involving biological experiments and illegal alchemy...

I hope I won't see too disgusting things in the future, or become one of them, Lu You thought.Through the water and the glass, he watched the calamus walking back and forth not far away, carefully stepping on the gap between the hoses on the ground with every step, and turning his head to look at the water tank from time to time.He had just finished the third back and forth, about 5 minutes had passed, and the three people who had just gone out came back again—at a speed of killing people.

It was Xiaoka who rushed into the room first, followed by Yejing, and the last Monster who came in was still turning around to attack the things that were chasing after him. Xiaoka made a drifting turn on the slippery ground, turned around and rushed towards the door, almost Banged against the door, slid and pushed it shut.It was rare that he held back his strength at the end, closing the door so fast without making much noise.

Calamus turned around blankly and stared at them. "...what are you being chased by?" he asked.Ye Jing made a downward gesture to him, Calamus fell silent instantly, and the whole room suddenly fell into silence.

The voice outside the door has gradually approached.Like a heavy person shuffling and stumbling.The soles of the shoes rubbed against the ground, and the body bumped against the wall.Another of these sounds became clearer the closer you got to the door: the hard, lung-leaking sound of breathing.

These voices came outside the door, and there was a pause, as if they didn't find the person hiding inside, they continued to move forward. "It's so heavy..." The woman's voice rang out indistinctly, and the words were crumbled by the panting, "It's so painful... Woooo..."

Afterwards, the voice just moved forward while crying, until the voice was almost lost, and then came a vague raving: "...I am happy..."

It was not until all the sounds completely disappeared that Calamus let out a long breath—he had been holding his breath all this time.In fact, the scene just now was not scary at all, he was simply frightened by his companion's reaction as if facing a formidable enemy, "What kind of monster is that?" He said in shock.

"It's not a monster." Xiaoka said, rubbing his painful shoulder, "hissed", "It's a woman with a big belly."

"...you were scared like this by a pregnant woman?"

Xiaoka waved his hand feebly. "Oh, it's not scary." He said, "We just entered the room at the end of the corridor and saw her standing in the room with her back to us. Then Monster received a system reminder saying that if she detects an 'intruder' ’, this house will be blocked, and after the dungeon is officially opened, we can only leave after the ending... Of course we ran away quickly.”

"After all, we are just here to explore the way." Ye Jing said, "You can't just waste one ending time."

Calamus nodded subconsciously, and suddenly came back to his senses after a few seconds, "Wait!" He shouted, "Isn't it the task that Monster received?"

"I said earlier that it was picked up by the road to the underworld, you two hundred and five." Xiaoka said, "Monster is helping that guy..." He then turned to Monster, "Why don't we go up now? I'm worried that the woman will go up again Come back, let’s go quickly, anyway, we have seen almost all the places that can be explored.”

Monster responded, and was about to turn to the door when he suddenly heard the sound of water.He paused, turned his head, and saw the mermaid in the water tank refloating, staring at him without blinking.The mermaid's long silver-gray hair and pearl-white skin were drenched by the water, and the ends of the hair hung down into the water, gracefully spreading out a small patch of bright color.

Despite the gloomy surroundings, despite the murky water flowing in the glass tank, he still looked... as if shining.

Why didn't you think that mermaids are such beautiful creatures before? Monster thought with some doubts.He has always been a character who can do whatever he wants, and felt that the mermaid seemed to want him to go over, so he walked over, ignoring Ye Jing's inquiry. Monster walked to the side of the water tank, and then the mermaid raised his hand and made a movement: he put it on his face, as if grabbing something invisible, and then took it off.

Monster gets it easily.He raised his eyebrows at the back of the breathing filter mask, and simply loosened the buckle on the back of his head, and took off this facial equipment that he valued more as a shield than an air filter.As the dim light in the room fell on the face, revealing the contours of the facial features, Monster saw a human-like look in the mermaid's eyes, with a hint of disappointment in doubt.

Monster suddenly became unhappy.He put the mask back on, turned and walked away from the glass jar.

The other three chatted while waiting for him. When Monster walked back, he heard Ye Jing mention another person in the Road to Hades team.

"...Peach Tea is not online these days." He said, "It seems that her elder brother's condition has deteriorated again, and she is busy with transfer procedures... Their school just organized a group of people to visit it a few days ago Yan Chuan also went." He turned to Monster, "You still remember, Yan Chuan? The tuner you said did a good job."

Behind Ye Jing, Xiao Ka rolled her eyes in an unrefined way. "I hate that peach tea," he said bluntly.

Ye Jing then shut up, smiled and shook her head. Monster walked in front of Xiaoka, put his hand in front of his eyes, gave him a look of disapproval, but didn't say anything.They carefully checked the situation in the corridor, and after making sure it was safe, they filed out of the room. Monster was the one who closed the door at the end. He glanced into the room through the slowly closing door, but only saw the glass jar Outline: The merman has sunk into the water again.
