Survival game by confession [unlimited]

Immediately, dozens of pairs of eyes on the scene looked at Xiao Ji's direction, and Xiao Ji remained expressionless.

The old king can't die yet, at least he must be alive before Xiao Ji finds the "key".

As if nothing had happened, the princes dispersed, and before they left, they all looked at Xiao Ji with strange eyes, as if they hadn't thought that this "sister" who was the smallest and usually the weakest, was hiding her secrets, and at the most crucial moment Time showed its claws.

It's just that Xiao Ji is only 15 years old, which is really too young.But even so, if the old king is interested in him, it will not be too late to hand over the kingdom to him after a few years of waiting until Xiao Ji has developed his own power in the kingdom.

They just didn't know that the old king would never live to that time, and Xiao Ji had no interest in the throne they wanted to fight for.

Xiao Ji left the palace, and went directly to a remote private house according to the address given to him by the old king.He opened the door with the key and went into the basement.Under this seemingly ordinary building, a huge circular altar was dug out.

Dozens of mermaids with tails entwined with black water plants prostrated themselves on the ground, Xiao Ji stepped up to the altar and asked them to stand up.

"From now on, you are all our subordinates. I believe someone has told you this, right?"

The mermaids were silent for a while, and soon the tallest mermaid in the leader walked out. There was a deep black knife mark on his cheek, and the wound had not yet healed.

"Yes." The leader mermaid said.

His voice was also hoarse, and his throat had been ruined.

This is the most mysterious power under the old king, and also the most frightening force for all mermaid officials and ministers, the eye of the vortex.

This force has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it was an organization that the old king took over from his mother.Back then, it was with this pervasive intelligence organization that the old king was able to firmly control the information of the other brothers, and successfully became the king from the smallest and least favored crown prince.

But now, this organization was transferred to Xiao Ji as a bargaining chip in exchange for life.

"What's your name?"

The love knife in Xiao Ji's hand came out of its sheath, and grabbed the chin of the scarred mermaid in front of her.The Sin Knife was sealed for use, and in a short time he could only barely deal with it with the Love Knife.

"Hen, my name is Hen. I am the highest contact person of the Eye of the Vortex organization in the capital."

The scarred mermaid raised her head following Xiao Ji's movements, and looked at the incomparably noble mermaid princess, or the prince.

The look on his face didn't change a bit, and his voice didn't fluctuate.

"Okay, from now on, you are in charge of the entire management of the Eye of the Vortex. How many things are you currently investigating?"

"Including stalking, arresting, finding objects, and unannounced visits, there are a total of 1359 cases."

"Give up all, I want you to gather all your strength and concentrate on doing one thing after you leave here. I just want you to help me find one thing - a key, the [key] to Fairy Tale Town. "

The eye of the vortex is like a high-precision instrument, after Xiao Ji input the command, it immediately began to operate non-stop.

The person in charge at one level distributes the information to the informant at the next level, and all of them have received the task - to find the "key" at all costs.

Information and clues are constantly sent to Xiao Ji through traces. If the eye of the vortex can't find the key, then the possibility of finding it with Xiao Ji's own power is even slimmer.

The conditions requested by Xiao Ji and the old king are not only the right to control the [Eye of the Vortex], but also 30 death guards.

After Xiao Ji assigned the task of searching for the Eye of the Vortex, he first came to the palace and performed an operation on the old king.He couldn't get rid of all the black scorching energy in the old king's body, these energies were like living creatures, they would actively hide themselves and avoid Xiao Ji's search.

After three attempts, Xiao Ji finally successfully forced most of the energy into the old king's heart with his love knife.

He let go of the sharp blade that was used to replace the sin knife in his hand, flicked his wrist, and shot decisively at the moment when the black energy was slightly relaxed.Half of the heart burning with black flames was cut off by Xiao Ji!

The fragments of the heart fell to the ground, and a faint black air was released along with the water flow, and soon disappeared.At the same time, the love knife in Xiao Ji's hand was also inserted into the old king's body, maintaining his vitality and preventing him from dying.

The old king's eyes suddenly widened, and most of the black power dissipated following the severed heart fragments, only a small ray, the most stubborn, still firmly surrounded the old king's remaining heart, and then It keeps beating.

Don't underestimate this small wisp of remaining power, these black forces devoured the vitality of the old king to strengthen themselves.If left alone, these strengths will return to what they were before the operation in just one month.

Xiao Ji had already done everything he could do. In fact, it was not impossible for him to directly heal the old king completely.He also has a few spare bottles of Shenmu Light in his locker, as well as other healing potions.

It's totally doable if you pay enough.

But it doesn't make sense to do so, and the pay is not proportional to the return.The old king couldn't pay the price that Xiao Ji was satisfied with, even if the other party gave the throne to Xiao Ji, it would not be enough.

"ended."

"Ahem...Finally, it's over..."

The old king’s face was distorted in pain during Xiao Ji’s operation. Although the Love Knife can heal, the [-]% pain that comes with it cannot be faked, just like if Xiao Ji used it to heal a wound, The pain was like cutting two wounds on the old king's body with a knife again...

However, the old king feels that his current physical condition is better, and it can even be said that he has recovered to the peak before he was not ill.

Xiao Ji skillfully packed up the surgical tools. The only disadvantage of performing surgery in water is that the dirty blood will spread everywhere, making it difficult to guard against.

He threw a bottle of [Life Point Supplement Potion (Small)] to the old king, and the emerald green bottle shone with a faint clear light.

"what is this?"

The old king reached out to take it, his arm was still trembling slightly because of the pain.

"Things that can save your life." Xiao Ji said.

"Use it when you feel that you can't keep going. I may not be in the capital recently. Although your body looks better, the hidden dangers have not been really eliminated. Be careful not to die accidentally."

"Are you leaving the capital? Where are you going?"

The old king obviously didn't want Xiao Ji to leave his control, after all, the feeling of being powerless lying on the hospital bed before was really too bad.

"Something happened." Xiao Ji said lightly.

He still needs to deal with the system tasks three days later, and there are already a few messages from the Eye of the Vortex. He needs to check the authenticity of the information himself, and finding the key is an urgent matter.

He must enter Fairy Tale Town before completing the main storyline and being teleported away.

"Go back quickly."

The old king soon regained his fatherly face, and the smile on his face became a little more sincere.

Xiao Ji's favorite knife can increase the favorability of the treated person towards him during treatment, but it turns out that no matter how high the favorability is, the old king is just adding such a harmless word.

Xiao Ji left the palace, followed by thirty tall and strong mermaids with almost the same appearance.These mermaids are all transformed necromancers, and their fighting power is extremely powerful.The reason why the mermaid blood of the old king was able to sit firmly on the throne for such a long time was because they had mastered the method of making this kind of undead guard.

Xiao Ji asked 25 of the dead body guards to temporarily return to his bedroom to wait for orders. After leading five dead body guards in disguise, they walked onto the streets of the mermaid kingdom.

White lights lit up in the cold seabed, and these lights were scattered in the darkness. Beautiful mermaids swam past in front of them, flicking their long tails of various colors.The lights cast their shadows on the walls.

The civilization of the mermaid kingdom has evolved very strangely. Their national system is a feudal system with a king.At the same time, the theocracy is also very noble, and most of the people are believers of the gods.

But their technological level is probably only at the elementary farming level, perhaps because the special seabed environment makes it more difficult for them to develop technology.They have no way to start a fire, and they have no way to harness the sun's energy.Because the mermaid itself is already strong enough, there is no urgent need to survive, and the comfortable environment slows down the progress of culture, and eventually becomes self-sufficient and stagnant.

Xiao Ji came to the most prosperous street in the Mermaid Kingdom, where the two rows of houses were denser and taller.Because this is in the water, it is not necessary to consider the height of the floor, and customers can enter the store from any floor.

Some of the shops here sell food, some sell weapons and armor, and some sell various decorations hanging from fish tails.According to the memory transmitted by the system, Xiao Ji swam directly into a store with a black sign on the first floor.There was no name written on the signboard, but just as Xiao Ji entered it, he smelled a faint smell of blood.

The black signboard without a name is a custom of the Mermaid Kingdom, indicating that this shop is dedicated to selling mermaid slaves.Mermaids have a lower sense of morality than humans, and selling slaves is completely legal to them.Especially those mermaids that cannot prey due to physical defects, they often sell themselves as slaves in exchange for a chance to survive.

Huge black cages are placed in the shop one by one. The cages are not made of steel, but a special kind of soft seaweed.

Seeing a guest coming to the door, a red-tailed mermaid with a pigtail immediately warmly greeted her.

He silently observed Xiao Ji's long silver tail, the glittering and luxurious silver is undoubtedly a symbol of nobility.Even Xiao Ji covered up his appearance.But mermaids don't rely on their faces to see people. Experienced mermaids can distinguish their own race just by looking at their tails.

What's more, Xiao Ji is still a silver tail, which has been a symbol of the royal family for many years. Although there is no such rigid rule that the successor king must be a silver tail, there will be a king every few times in the kingdom. Silvertail King, and doing a great job.

Even to this day, most of the silver-tailed mermaids are high-ranking officials, or big shots related to the royal family. The shop owner has been doing business for so many years, and he has already guessed his identity secretly in his heart just by taking a look at Xiao Ji. .

It's just that the other party dressed up in such a disguise that he obviously didn't want to reveal his identity, and the shopkeeper would not expose it sensibly.

The owner of the store just became more enthusiastic, and kept leaning in front of Xiao Ji, with an extremely sincere smile on his face.

Xiao Ji walked through one straw cage after another, most of the mermaids inside had injuries or were born with disabilities.When they saw Xiao Ji coming, they all stretched out their hands eagerly to him, showing flattering smiles.

After all, if he could be taken away by such a big shot, he would never be short of food.Survival is the best, they don't desire anything else.

Xiao Ji walked past them, and after a brief observation, he looked at the next one.

He didn't have the time and energy to save every slave here, he just came here to find a suitable substitute.The grand dream of transforming the mermaid society can only be discussed after he himself can survive.

After all, the main task after those three days was like the sword of Damocles, suspended above his neck from beginning to end.If he can't complete the task, then he will die worse than these mermaids locked in the cage.

"Do you have any mermaids around the age of 15?" he asked the shopkeeper.

"of course."

Xiao Ji was led to several cages, and he stopped in front of a cage containing a girl mermaid.The little mermaid has the same beautiful silver tail as his, but not as long as his, and her appearance is also very cute and cute.

She blinked her big sea blue eyes and looked at Xiao Ji, inside was pure innocence.

"Are you willing to come with me? You may be in danger, but as long as you follow my words, I guarantee you will survive."

The girl mermaid turned a deaf ear to his words, she just looked enviously at Xiao Ji's tail which was a hundred times more beautiful than her own, as if she really wanted to reach out and touch it.But soon her face turned red, because she remembered that in the mermaid kingdom, stroking the tail means courtship.

She tried her best to hide her gray tail behind her back, not wanting Xiao Ji to find out.After all, compared with Xiao Ji's tail, her tail is too ugly.

"She can't feel voices at all, can't hear voices and can't speak. He can't hear you."

The mermaid shopkeeper shrugged.

"Without the ability to use her voice to hunt, she is a cripple from birth, even with a noble-looking silver tail. Her parents abandoned her, and she should have been eaten by sharks, but I saved her. I don't have any good intentions, I just plan to sell her for some money."

"what is her name?"

"Nuoli, the name of the sixth princess is very similar to that of Ariel, but the fate is very different."

Half an hour later, Xiao Ji brought the mermaid girl back to his bedroom.

"Princess Six."

The mermaid maid who followed Xiao Ji to the sea looked at Xiao Ji with some anxiety.The youngest "princess" of the royal family has been gentle and shy since she was a child, staying in her bedroom all day and rarely leaving.The only people around her were her and the guards arranged by several other palaces.

The maid was very satisfied with such a situation. Working in the palace was enough for her to live comfortably, and her salary was generous.As long as she can coax this naive little princess into letting her stop having other maids, then she can keep this iron rice bowl for a long time.

Even if the king died, the remaining princes would fight for power, but it had nothing to do with this little princess.

But just after the sixth princess turned 15 and went to the sea yesterday, the maid found that she could no longer understand her former master.The other party seemed to have completely transformed overnight. She could no longer tease him like that. Instead, whenever she saw him, she would feel a wave of fear in her heart.

...as if seeing a king.

"Do you think I'm not doing well enough and want someone new to replace me?"

But she still didn't give up, and looked at the little mermaid who was following the princess with some disgust.

"Like such a weak and weak garbage, I am afraid that it will not survive a day if it is thrown outside the capital. What do you want such a weak person to come around?"

"Shut up, Angel."

Xiao Ji's cold and pleasant voice suddenly interrupted her words.

"I don't! Why did she enter our bedroom? With such a dirty and impure blood, I would pass out just by smelling the stench on her body..."

The deaf Noni stared at Angel curiously with her big jewel-like eyes. She couldn't hear what the mermaid maid said to him at all.

Xiao Ji stretched out his hand, and a wave of water surged up.

The maid froze for a moment, and felt a powerful force coming from her neck.She let out a whimper, and her whole body was strangled and pressed against the luxurious relief stone pillar.

She was dizzy, and saw her master tear off the veil covering her face in a mist, revealing the sharp pupils underneath.Dots of luxurious silver light flashed, and the gauze swayed, extremely dazzling but also extremely dangerous.

"Angel."

His voice was still pleasant, but such a beautiful voice made Angel feel chills in his heart.

"It's my bedroom, not ours.

As my maid, do you think you... really recognize your identity? "

The former sixth princess treated her maid Angel as close as a sister because there were few people around her.

Xiao Ji's sharp nails clasped Angel's neck firmly, leaving a light bloodstain on it.

"Get out of here now!"

Angor was thrown to the ground, coughing up a little blood from his throat.

This was the first time she heard such words from her little princess. Suddenly, she realized that the sixth princess, whom she had always thought was extremely easy to deceive, had grown into a real princess at some point. crown prince.

She was lying on the ground, a trace of cruelty flashed in her eyes.

Xiao Ji took Nuoli into his bedroom, but he didn't talk to her right away.Instead, they first got some food for the mermaid girl, and then asked her to take care of the wounds on her body and put on beautiful accessories.This allowed her to enter the secret room to wait for herself.

[Oh, oh, little crow~

Is there really nothing wrong with your maid named Angel?Kill her, kill her~ It’s not safe to let her go like this~]

[You know that she has already quietly sold your information to several good brothers of yours.

A spy like this, little crow, what do you keep him for? 】

Yu started to chatter in Xiao Ji's mind.

During this period of time, he came out to interject a few words from time to time. Xiao Ji could bear him to say a few words at the beginning, but when he couldn't bear it anymore, he used the [Invisible Nervous Knife] to kill him directly.

【I know. 】

Xiao Ji flicked a few pieces of large hemp cloth on the table, all of which were the information about [The Key of Fairy Tale Town] passed to him by the Eye of the Vortex.

[But if I don't keep her by my side, my "brothers" may not be at ease with me.Besides, I won't stay in the palace for too long, so it doesn't matter. 】

Noni nervously tugged at the brand new pearl chain on her fish tail, and a quarter of an hour later, a handsome silver-haired mermaid walked in.

The black earrings on his earlobe were shining, and although his face was cold, it was not aggressive, but gave people a strong sense of security.Although she couldn't hear it, Nuo Li could vaguely see from the reactions of the people around her that Xiao Ji had just protected herself from that domineering maid.

Now she is full of affection for Xiao Ji who rescued herself from the black cage and gave him food and a beautiful tail chain.

【do not be afraid】

Xiao Ji wrote on the slate with gray special soil, because Nuoli couldn't hear the voice, so Xiao Ji could only communicate with her in this way.

【You are here, very safe】

He has already learned from the mermaid shopkeeper that Nori can read the mermaid characters.

Nuoli stretched out her hand hesitantly after a while, but she didn't write any words, she just took Xiao Ji's hand.Her eyes were full of envious brilliance like a baby bird, and her tail kept wagging behind her, almost rolling up a small vortex.

Xiao Ji stretched out his hand to touch her head, and the mermaid girl rubbed against his hand, her smooth hair felt extremely comfortable to the touch.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but there was no sound, she was still a mute.

So Nori was dejected, and the blush disappeared from her face.

She grabbed the slate and wrote crookedly: [Hi—————]

Xiao Ji waited for a while, seeing that she didn't intend to continue writing, so he added the sentence [like] under the sentence of liking.

Nuoli looked at the two likings in two rows together, her face was crooked, but Xiao Ji's was extremely handsome and upright.

Seeing this, the little mermaid was both happy and embarrassed, and her tail flicked again.

【Tsk, I can't wait to take a photo right now to show that poor puppy of yours. I'm afraid that this little fish will be swallowed by him just after reaching the surface of the water, and he doesn't even spit out the fishbone. 】

Fish chimed in with a smile in his head.

Xiao Ji didn't react for a while.

[What is a puppy? 】

【Gao, Duan Wenzhou, your family is pitiful, the puppy that tied itself to your body to death!

Hey, isn't it called a puppy?How about calling it a little octopus? emmm... I think the name Little Octopus is weird, forget it, it’s still a puppy]

Xiao Ji ignored the fish, and slowly continued to write a line on the slate, and then forwarded it to the little mermaid.

[Can you help me do something on the sea? 】
