Every day I'm on the verge of death

"How do you want us to help you leave?"

It is too big, not to mention taking it back to the sea, even getting out of the entrance of this underground pool is difficult?In addition, it cannot leave the water for a long time, and the possibility of bringing it back to the sea safely is very low.

"Also, aren't you afraid that on the way out, we'll repent and kill you?"

Lu Jifeng's words made the mermaid quiet down, he even saw sadness in its weird fish eyes, and it spoke after a long silence.

"If I live in this dark, stinky ditch, I would rather die in your hands. The bright sunshine is worth the price of my life."

Lu Jifeng didn't answer the sound of footsteps outside. Judging from the current clues, there may be two ways to clear the dungeon mission. One is to kill the mermaid underneath and fulfill the village chief's wish to avenge his son.

Second, take the mermaid back to the sea and help it fulfill its dream of regaining freedom.

Lu Jifeng suddenly felt like Santa Claus, he had heard their wishes, so now he needed to help them fulfill their wishes, but because their wishes were contradictory, he had to choose one of them to fulfill.

So, who should he choose to help?

There was a creaking sound of pushing the door, and the door opened in response. Lu Jifeng originally thought that the village chief had returned, and even the mermaid sank back to the bottom of the water the moment the door opened, but it was Tang Wuyin who pushed the door in.

"A Yin?"

Tang Wuyin, who was walking in, was dragging a person in his hand, who should be the village chief according to his clothes.It seems that he doesn't need to think about which quest line to take anymore, Tang Wuyin has already made the choice for him.

Tang Wuyin was followed by He Tong and a red-clothed trade-off. Although Red Fox and Bai Qiong had no idea what their situation was, they could probably guess that an agreement for a temporary truce had been reached.

"Are you okay?"

Tang Wuyin threw the village chief aside, and looked in Lu Jifeng's direction for a moment.

"It's okay, you're fast."

He originally thought that he could settle the matter before Tang Wuyin found him, but in the end Tang Wuyin was allowed to take the lead, and he smiled helplessly.

"There is a mechanism on the wall on the left that controls the lifting and lowering of the iron cage, look for it."

The village head had pressed something on the wall to put him and Tang Qiu down, so he could be sure where the mechanism was, but since he didn't know the exact location, it took a lot of time to find it.

When the iron cage landed on the shore again, Tang Qiu, who had been silent all this time, rubbed the back of his head with a look of embarrassment: "Brother, I blocked the lock."

After hearing Tang Qiu's words, Tang Wuyin's face trembled slightly, his face was expressionless, and he couldn't tell whether he was smiling or angry for a moment.

"Didn't I warn you not to pick locks in your life?"

Tang Qiu lowered his head and said nothing, Lu Jifeng who forced Tang Qiu to unlock the lock coughed.

"I made him drive it."

Tang Wuyin glanced at him and said nothing, walked to the side of the iron cage and reached out to touch Lu Jifeng's face, along his neck, touched his earlobe, and squeezed it lightly, Lu Jifeng knew that he was telling him that it was okay.

The warm hands moved away from his face, and a second later the iron cage in front of him was snapped open by Tang Wuyin, wide enough for a grown man to pass through at will.

The material of the small lock is special and not easy to break. Although the iron cage is ordinary cast iron, but because the iron rod is three fingers thick, Lu Jifeng never thought about the possibility of bending it.

"Since you can break open the iron cage directly, why did you open the lock upside down when you rescued that girl?"

Lu Jifeng didn't doubt anything when he asked this question, but just felt that it would be easier to break open the iron cage directly based on the situation at the time.

Lu Jifeng looked puzzled, which provoked a smile on Tang Wuyin's face.

"I chose to open the lock because the iron cage is hanging in the air, and it's not easy to use force when standing on it, but that doesn't mean I can't break the cage open."

Perhaps it was discovered that the person who came was not the village head, and the mermaid that had sunk to the bottom surfaced again. The moment it surfaced, several people made gestures of preparing to attack.

The red fox stared at the mermaid in the pool slowly approaching the shore, as if he wanted to shoot directly.

"This mermaid is the chief culprit of this village turning into a mermaid village. As long as we kill it, we have completed the mission of the instance."

"and many more."

What the red fox said is right, but the village chief is already lying there, and even if he completes this quest, there will be no NPCs who can turn in the quest.

Although they have never clearly stipulated that npc approval is required for mission completion since they entered the game, judging from the dungeons he has experienced, mission completion is basically done by npc as the medium.

"Maybe we can do some simple and easy moving."

Lu Jifeng pointed to the humble mermaid: "For example, send this mermaid back to the sea?"

However, does the completion of the task really require the approval of the NPC? Compared with killing it, sending it back to the sea without the village chief to stop it is much simpler.

The only thing they need to worry about now is how to get this huge mermaid into the sea several miles away from here.

"Is there any way to balance you?"

I don't know if it's because Lu Jifeng mentioned the name of trade-off, the red fox's face has obvious emotional fluctuations, but he quickly regained his composure. He doesn't know what happened up there, but the current atmosphere is obviously abnormal.

Weighing didn't seem to see the unnaturalness on the red fox's face, and he thought for a while before speaking.

"Yes, but it may be detected by the main system. Once an error is detected, the dungeon will be reset by the system. You in the dungeon will restart all the game content, and it is still in reverse gear."

In other words, once the system resets the copy, these players will forget everything that happened in the past few days.

Lu Jifeng suddenly felt a little vicissitudes because he couldn't open it because of the hanging.

"It can't operate on land, which is a bit of a hassle."

As soon as Lu Jifeng finished speaking, the red fox snorted coldly and took his small silver gun and shot at the mermaid. Obviously, in her eyes, killing a mermaid was easier than giving it away.

The moment the bullet flew out, the balance behind He Tong moved...

He quickly moved to the front of the red fox as if teleporting, the bullet hit him with a crisp sound, and fell to the ground a second later, followed by a mechanical beep from Weighing.

'This item is an indestructible item, please do not destroy it at will. '

The air has become very quiet...

After 1 minute, the red fox frantically threw the weapon in his hand to the ground, his face was a little broken and fragile, and there was even a tear hanging from the corner of his eye.

"What the hell do you want?"

Lu Jifeng can understand her mood, his enemy is clearly in front of him, but he just can't kill him, and there is even a notification sound that cannot be destroyed...

It is understandable that it does not mean that Lu Jifeng sympathizes with her. After all, she designed to frame He Tong from the very beginning, and weighing the act of killing her sister is just self-defense.

The trade-off seemed to be that he had never seen a woman cry in front of him, some emotions flashed across his face, and he said it a few seconds later.

"You can't kill it. The village chief is gone. If it dies, you need to reset the copy."

Just like what Lu Jifeng thought, the dungeon mission needs to be completed by the corresponding npc to hand in the mission. If all the npcs of the mission line in a dungeon are dead, the system will forcibly reset the dungeon without the mission.

The red fox calmed down, and Bai Qiong helped her go to the wall and sit down. All of them have experienced a long battle, and now they are a little exhausted.

"Go and rest, I'll figure out a way."

After a few people went to rest, Lu Jifeng squatted on the bank and looked at the underwater mermaid in a daze. The mermaid seemed to think that Lu Jifeng was looking at it, and his eyes were fixed on Lu Jifeng without moving.

After watching like this for about ten minutes, Lu Jifeng suddenly remembered that the mermaid village chief looked the same as the village chief in human form, but the same as the purebred mermaid in the pool in mermaid form.

The head of the mermaid village can speak as a mermaid converted from a human. Obviously, he still has his sanity after turning into a mermaid. He even has the same characteristics as the mermaid, but it is exactly the same as that of the head of the fishing village.

"That mermaid that looks like the village chief, who is it?"

I don't know if Lu Jifeng misunderstood it. When this person was mentioned, the expression on the mermaid's face turned a little bit twisted.

"The son of the village chief, he was very kind to me. He said he would rescue me. I didn't eat him. He accidentally fell into the pool that day and turned into a mermaid. After that, he hated me."

The original distorted expression became a little sad, and one can imagine the original dawn, because of his curse, he became a mermaid, and then hated himself, and couldn't be happy if he changed it.

But the mermaid probably forgot that the one who caught it and gave him the dawn were both human beings.

The mermaid continued.

"The village chief didn't want to let him return to the surface after being turned into a mermaid. He was left here and forced to live with me for two years. He hated me more and more until he escaped some time ago..."

A white bead from the corner of the mermaid's eye fell into the water along her cheek, causing ripples on the water surface.

"The village chief thought I ate him, and since then the village chief has become very strange."

The mermaid didn't continue to say the following words, and Lu Jifeng could guess that the village chief hated the mermaid because of regret, the villagers who turned into mermaids, and the fishermen who were still alive and well.

At the same time, he became paranoid and sprinkled all the herbs his son liked in the yard. Even the girls who were supposed to give them to the mermaid as an agreement were forced to make the best use of them and have a weird ghost marriage with his son first.

"Is there a way for him to leave?"

"Have."

Lu Jifeng nodded, and was about to go back to the ground to find the village head of the mermaid. After walking a few steps, he turned his head and asked again.

"Your mermaid bodies are androgynous?"

He was completely unaware that his words were equivalent to teasing to the mermaid, and he didn't react until his ears were shaken by the sharp cry of the strange-looking mermaid.

Seeing the mermaid diving into the bottom of the water, he wanted to cry, but he really didn't think about it that much, it was just a momentary curiosity!

"If you want to know, you can ask me."

Lu Jifeng turned his head and saw Tang Wuyin who was looking at him indifferently with his arms crossed.

For the mermaid, saying such things is playing hooliganism, so Tang Wuyin, who has become a mermaid, naturally knows it too.

So the current situation is equivalent to that he just played a hooligan in front of others in front of Tang Wuyin...
