Chapter 577 [Chapter of the Fatal Game] Twenty-Seven: Mermaid in the Sewer (1)

In order to confirm Baglay's death, the Sun Knight put his sword into the scabbard on his back and took out a shimmering bell from his waist with his left hand. As the bell swayed, brilliant golden thunder light condensed in his right hand.

In the blink of an eye, the lightning has gathered into a constantly moving thunder gun. Wherever the lightning exists, the air buzzes.

Sun Knight twisted his waist, threw the thunder gun forward, and stabbed straight into Bagley's deformed body.

Most of his body exploded into pieces, and his head was blown far away, falling into the mire and disappearing without a trace.

When Chen Yan saw that the head was missing, he felt anxious, and since he could hardly "feel" Bagley's consciousness, he said:

"Keep your head, I'm still useful!"

The Sun Knight put the bell back on his waist, drew out his sword, and made a warning gesture.

Jack Baldo held a black sword and looked curiously at a large pile of Chen Yan not far away:

"what happened to you?"

Chen Yan, who was closest to him, turned around and said slightly nervously:

"I don't know what's going on with me now... How long can you stay?"

Jack Bardo replied:

"Until the power of a summons completely dissipates...about 3 minutes?"

Chen Yan nodded:

"follow me."

Chen Yan took Jack Baldo and the unknown Sun Knight to the location where Bagley's head fell.

Jack Baldo stabbed the murky water with his sword, but the two swords pierced something solid.

He raised the sword, and Chen Yan saw Bagley's deformed head, as well as the bone tissue similar to the scapula and vertebrae connected below the head.

Now, Bagley's head looked extremely miserable. Jack Baldo stabbed him in the back of the head with a sword, and even half of his face was pierced. There was no trace of life at all.

"What has it become now?"

Chen Yan was full of expectations:

"I just saw that its body seemed to have turned into something like a mermaid?"

The Sun Knight on the side made a dull voice from his helmet:

"To be precise, it is the [cursed spirit] after enduring the curse. The curse seems to come from something contaminated with the mermaid's breath. This person... I don't know where he came into contact with this kind of thing. He was bound by the curse.

Here, the physical body has long since perished, and only the remains of the soul continue to exist in the world."

When Chen Yan heard this voice, he was surprised and said:

"Solar!"

He had guessed that Solar was also a Sun Knight, but he didn't know that Solar was so powerful!

Moreover, Solar told Jack Baldo about his summoning spell, which was something Chen Yan didn't know. It seemed that he trusted Jack Baldo more than himself.

Chen Yan thought to himself that when Jack Baldo was pushed by the water onto the shore of Smokey Lake, his transformation into a living corpse was too severe, so after he regained his human body, he no longer had any previous memories.

Unlike Jack Baldo, Solar obviously has some previous memories, and those memories should be quite long ago... Solar must be quite old, but because he is an immortal, he does not appear to be very young.

old.

While Chen Yan was excited and thinking wildly, Solar continued to speculate:

"This is strange. I remember that mermaids have become very rare after the industrialization of the empire. They are only found in certain warm waters in the southern region of the empire. How can they appear in a cold place like Yharnam?"

"Moreover, its shape... even if it gets out of control and becomes rotten, it will not become so ugly... Mermaids are fierce or evil, but they are still quite beautiful. Even after they are rotten, they still look good.

"

Solar touched his chin as if thinking:

"I estimate it goes something like this:

When it was still human, it came to this place and was contaminated by something that carried the mermaid's curse.

His own mental state must be very poor, and his physical condition in all aspects is not very good, so he was attracted by the curse, haunted by the curse, and tortured by the curse. He became deformed and turned into something similar to a mermaid.

The curse further caused his corruption, and under the dual effects of distortion and corruption, he turned into this ghostly appearance."

Solar looked into the depths of the water:

"The thing that carries the mermaid's curse may be in this water."

After he finished speaking, he put on his fiery red gloves again, rubbed out a warm fire, and illuminated the surrounding environment.

There was nothing unusual within the field of vision, and the water beyond was getting deeper and deeper. Without a raft, it was impossible to continue exploring.

Chen Yan looked at Jack Baldo's head stuck on the sword and said seriously:

"I need [Mermaid's Mouthpiece] as an item for promotion."

Solar looked at him, but he couldn't see the shocked look in Solar's bucket helmet.

"This... I suggest you think about it carefully. Although it has turned into something similar to a mermaid due to the curse, it can barely be called a mermaid, but it is cursed, and its mouthpiece is also cursed.

Cursed."

"Unless you can purify this curse, it's better not to try it, because once the promotion is completed, you will also be contaminated by this curse, and you may end up with it."

Oh shit……

Chen Yan was really unwilling to give in. He had great luck and met a mermaid, but he couldn't use the "Mermaid's Mouthpiece" to get promoted. It really raised his blood pressure.

There is not much room for maneuver left for him. He now has no idea what is going on with his situation, nor how long it can last.

If this state can be maintained forever, then it is better to live than to die.

But what if this state ends?

If this state ends and countless of him returns to his corrupted body, there will be no room for maneuver, and he will face complete corruption head-on.

After a moment of silence, Chen Yan made a decision.

"I need you to stay here for me until your spirit body returns - I need 3 minutes."

In fact, if everything goes well, just a moment will be enough.

But if things don't go well... Jack Baldo and Solar should go back early, eat and drink, and just treat me as dead in prison.

He looked at the mermaid's ugly head.

"I'm going to try to purify the curse."

Jack Baldo looked at the determination in his eyes and understood what he meant. He didn't say much and just patted his chest.

Chen Yan smiled at him and looked at Solar again.

Solar just said: "It's extremely dangerous, so be careful on the road."

Chen Yan nodded solemnly to him, then touched the mermaid's head to activate synaesthesia.

The next moment, a thick yellowish mist appeared in front of his eyes, covering his entire field of vision in the blink of an eye.

The yellow mist left just as quickly as it came. After the blink of an eye, another scene appeared in front of Chen Yan——

The dark underground is moist and cold, but there is no filth. The water under the stalactites is clean, and there are groups of small transparent fish swimming at the bottom.

This water is not shallow, but it is not deep either. The depth of about two meters is enough to accommodate the bodies of most underground organisms.

A black shadow more than one meter long appeared in the field of vision. The thing was covered with dark blue scales and held a beautiful fish tail. It clearly resembled a "human arm", but its brain and facial features were not exactly the same.

The appearance of human beings is just "similar".

This thing was probably in the shape of a mermaid, but it was much rougher than the "mermaid" Chen Yan had imagined.

Chen Yan controlled his field of vision, and only when he got closer could he really see that although this kind of mermaid looks rough, with its scales and fish tail, it has an indescribable "rough beauty", just like it was carved by nature.

Perfect creation.

Chen Yan thought of a word:

'Asian.'

It dawned on him:

'This kind of mermaid should be some kind of highly animalistic demi-human race.'

'Speaking of which, [Mermaid] should be a kind of demi-human in itself.'

'It's just... mermaids themselves live in warm waters, but the mermaids in front of me live in the cold waters underground in Yanan City. This is probably because they have undergone adaptive evolution in order to survive.'

'This kind of evolution... is estimated to take many, many years, because the living environment of mermaids themselves is warm, and Yanan City... probably did not exist in Yanan City at that time - in that era when mermaids could survive and the waters were still warm,

These mermaids must not look like this.'

'Perhaps at that time, the planet's crust was not what it is now. The city of Yanan was located near the equator of the planet, so the waters were still warm and suitable for the survival of mermaids.'

'Many years later, the sea changed, the earth's crust changed, and the city of Yannan turned from warm to cold. Some mermaids left here and went to the south, while some stayed and adaptively evolved, becoming the current mermaids wearing blue scales.

appearance.'

Chen Yan not only guessed, but also "feeled" a lot from the synaesthetically produced pictures in front of him - water, stalactites, scales, fish, underwater soil and fish bones...

With the unlimited opening of "feeling", a small stone also contains a huge amount of knowledge.

Chen Yan allowed his "feelings" to expand unchecked, and everything seemed to be telling him about his past. It was the unreserved confession of the whole world, and it was an absolutely objective fact.

Chen Yan was immersed in this state of "listening". It took him an unknown amount of time before he slowly came to his senses.

Focusing his attention again, Chen Yan didn't know when a group of mermaids had gathered in front of him. Chen Yan "felt" the "panic" emotion from them, so he looked in the direction where they were looking -

The stalactites at the top of the rock wall are shaking violently, and the sound of the engine is like the roar of a monster.

The next moment, a huge drill bit pierced the top of the rock wall vertically from above, and the destroyed stalactite fragments crushed countless fish and shrimps to death.

The mermaids fled one after another, but there were still inevitable casualties.
