The two looked at each other and were stunned for a long time.
"Xiaolan, if you are hungry, there is still something to eat on the tablecloth..."
"No," Xiaolan waved helplessly, "I think there may be clues in the fish."
Although Baomu was dubious, he still cooperated with Xiaolan by rolling up his trousers and getting ready to catch fish. While the two were getting ready, Xiaolan told him everything she knew from Lu Qianqian.
Baomu was completely shocked, "So... is this game so complicated?"
Of course, Xiaolan can also understand Baomu's surprise. After all, Baomu, with his bug-like sense of smell and hearing, almost encountered no setbacks all the way through the game. They are both players, so the difficulty experienced by Xiaolan and Baomu is not at all.
One level.
Xiaolan lowered his head and sighed quietly, then stepped into the water, raised his head and said, "There are no other fish here, but catfish appear here. Maybe it really has some meaning... If not, at least we can still
You can bake it and eat it..."
"Catfish tastes fishy when grilled."
"Then forget it, then forget it..."
Xiaolan didn't have the time to think about how to cook the catfish, she lowered her head and started aiming at the prey.
After the two entered the water, the three catfish, instead of running away in shock, came close to their legs and looked at them curiously.
"What are they going to do?" Baomu couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Xiaolan's hands plunged into the water and directly grabbed the catfish next to Baomu's legs.
After being caught out of the water, the fish didn't struggle, but its gills opened and closed more frequently. The fish was quietly held in Xiaolan's hands, with a pair of huge fish eyes staring straight at Xiaolan's face.
Xiaolan was a little embarrassed by the sight, and quickly put the fish into Baomu's hand.
"Brother Baomu, you have big hands, take it."
The two looked over and over several times at the fish that looked like a dead fish but was indeed still alive, but they didn't find anything wrong with the fish.
But the worst thing about it is...
"No, Brother Baomu, I'm uneducated. Do you think normal fish would look at us like this?"
Xiaolan grabbed the fish that was breathing slowly and looked at Baomu with a frown.
"How should I put it..." Baomu thought seriously for a moment, "A normal fish must be suffocating now, but it seems to be more calm than us."
Not only was the fish calm, but it kept looking at the two of them with disdain with the wisdom of observing stupid humans.
Xiaolan felt as if she was offended by the look in the eyes of a fish.
"Brother Baomu, tell me... does it look down on us?"
"I think it's a bit..."
The two of them were a little angry as they held the slimy fish.
"Throw it away..."
As soon as Xiaolan raised her hand, the fish returned to the water, but it still stayed on the shoal on the shore and played with its two companions.
Xiaolan and Baomu washed their hands in the water. When Baomu wiped his hands on his clothes and coat, they suddenly froze.
"What strange smell did you smell again?" Xiaolan asked, looking at Baomu who was smelling everywhere.
Baomu tried hard to find the source of the smell, and finally raised his hands and brought them close to his nose. An expression of success in solving the puzzle appeared on his face.
"My hands smell like blood!"
"Blood?" Xiaolan stared at Baomu's clean hands, "There's no blood."
Baomu remembered something, grabbed Xiaolan's right hand and smelled it, "Xiaolan, you have it on your hand too!"
Xiaolan's first thought was that fish just now.
"But if it was the smell of that fish, I should have smelled it just now." Baomu said.
indeed.
"Before we washed our hands, you never smelled the smell of blood, right?" Xiaolan confirmed.
Baomu nodded.
If you exclude fish, then the problem must occur on the water.
Baomu put his nose close to the water.
“It’s the smell of water!”
The smell of blood appeared in the water.
The two stood on tiptoe and looked across the water.
Their eyes searched from left to right.
Finally, Xiaolan discovered a trace of blood under the flickering light at the place where she first saw the leaping fish.
Baomu discovered it at the same time.
On the water, a black spot stained with blood floated.
"I'll go get it."
Xiaolan said that she was about to enter the water, but was stopped by Baomu.
"No! This water is not safe."
The two of them looked around a few more times, and finally walked around the lake to the shore closest to the black spot. They worked together to break off two long branches from the tree on the side. The two branches were tied together, and the length was just within reach.
That black spot.
As soon as the end of the branch stirred the black spot, the black spot moved closer to them.
It's quite easy.
When the black spot was still a few meters away from them, the two of them saw clearly what the black spot was.
It's a fish.
To be precise, it was a dead fish floating sideways on the water.
The two rowed the dead fish in front of their eyes, but neither of them wanted to touch it until Xiaolan discovered some strange patterns on the belly of the fish.
"It's quite strange..." Xiaolan still used two fingers to pinch the dead fish between the two of them in disgust, "Brother Baomu, look at it, there seems to be writing..."
"C... there is a capital C, followed by several Chinese characters..."
The two heads turned to the correct position together.
"C-Kong Di!" Baomu shouted, "It's him!"
Xiaolan looked up, "Have you heard of it?"
"Kong Di in Area C, I met him in the previous game!" Baomu said while gesturing, "It's the fourth level. He is the person with the highest score in our group. He killed five people! And
He is really... very lucky, and I and the other player who survived both felt that he was cheating..."
Speaking of this, the two of them thought of the question just now at the same time.
"catfish!"
"If there really is such a player in the game, then I think Kong Di may indeed be Catfish." Baomu added.
"Then now that this fish is dead, does that mean..."
The two exchanged a determined look.
Kong Di is dead.
A catfish is dead.
The two ran back to the shallows where the three catfish lived. The three catfish were still swimming in the same place. They took turns catching the three catfish and carefully inspected the catfish's body.
There is nothing like words.
Baomu put the last fish into the water and turned to look at Xiaolan who was deep in thought.
"There's nothing on these three fish."
Xiaolan nodded absently.
Baomu shook off the water from his hands and changed his posture to sit on the beach. "Xiaolan, what did you think of?"
"I'm thinking about the task of the last level." Xiaolan also sat down.
Baomu nodded and motioned for Xiaolan to continue.
"I'm wondering... will the task of the last level be to find all the catfish players and get rid of them?"
