【Chapter 437, Clue】

It was already three o'clock in the morning, and it was difficult to wake up his teammates in the middle of the night. Yu Hanjiang remembered that Xiao Lou passed out in the afternoon, and didn't even eat dinner, so he turned around and found some food from Shao Qingge's suitcase.

He couldn't ask the waiter to deliver the meal, so he simply cooked a bowl of noodles for Xiao Lou, and added a poached egg.

After a while, Yu Hanjiang came to the bedroom with a bowl of steaming noodles, and called Xiao Lou back, "Come and eat something, you haven't even eaten dinner, must you be hungry?"

Xiao Lou's mind was full of messy memories, and he completely forgot about "hunger".

After smelling the aroma of noodles, his stomach growled in response to the occasion, and the sound of "gurgling" was very clear in the quiet bedroom. Xiao Lou rubbed his stomach, coughed lightly, and said, "cough, I slept for 12 days. hour, really hungry."

Yu Hanjiang raised his lips and handed him the chopsticks: "Eat."

Xiao Lou sat down at the table and quickly finished a bowl of noodles. The food warmed his whole body. He was used to living alone before, but now he finds it feels good to be taken care of by others.

Xiao Lou smiled slightly at Yu Hanjiang, and said, "Thank you, the noodles are delicious."

While packing up the lunch box, Yu Hanjiang looked at him with raised eyebrows: "Do you need to be polite with me?"

Xiao Lou wiped his mouth clean, changed the subject and asked, "Does Brother Nine think of any more clues? Regarding the people who saved them on the Zerg planet, besides singing, is there anything else?"

Yu Hanjiang shook his head: "Brother Jiu had lost a lot of blood when he was rescued, and his consciousness was blurred. He even thought that he had an auditory hallucination and heard the voice of heaven during that song. As for the others, he didn't see anything. He has no memory of what happened after the rescue."

Xiao Lou thoughtfully: "That is to say, there is only the clue of 'singing' at present. My sister told us that fishermen can hear singing at sea, is it just a legend?... You should rest first, and we will investigate together tomorrow. .”

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Okay, you also go to take a bath and sleep for a while."

Xiao Lou's clothes were soaked in sweat, and he was really uncomfortable to wear, so he simply took a shower, changed into pajamas and lay down on the bed.

In a daze, he dreamed of being locked in a room with countless replica children when he was five years old, and the exact same faces kept flashing in front of his eyes, and behind the dream, the faces of those children gradually changed into his own. What it looks like now.

Countless faces with various expressions. Either smiling, or being indifferent, or mocking, or hating, or jealous... countless "selves" dangled in front of his eyes, Xiao Lou curled up and fell into a strange nightmare. Yu Hanjiang found that his whole body was cold, so he stretched out his hand and gently hugged Xiao Lou into his arms, patting his back gently like soothing a child.

The warmth from Yu Hanjiang gradually calmed Xiao Lou in his sleep.

He stretched out his hand, hugged Yu Hanjiang tightly as if grabbing a life-saving straw, and fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up the next day, Xiao Lou found that his face was pressed against the man's strong chest, his hands were tightly hugging the man's waist, and he was leaning against Yu Hanjiang's arms in a posture of "depending on the man".

Xiao Lou's ears couldn't help feeling hot, he quickly broke free from the man's arms, and coughed dryly: "I had a nightmare last night, dreaming that many identical selves dangled in front of my eyes."

Yu Hanjiang held Xiao Lou's hand and said, "I know. That's why I hugged you to sleep, I want you to have a good rest."

Facing his gentle gaze, Xiao Lou's heart warmed up, and he curled his mouth and said, "It's just a nightmare. Let's go, it's time to go."

The two walked out of the bedroom, and the teammates in the dining room had already gathered. Seeing Xiao Lou, Ye Qi hurried over and asked, "Professor Xiao, are you awake? Are you feeling better? You suddenly passed out yesterday afternoon, which scared me."

Xiao Lou said: "It doesn't matter, I fainted because of a severe headache, and I happened to remember what happened when I was five years old."

When the four of them heard this, they immediately walked in front of Xiao Lou curiously.

Lu Jiuchuan was the first to ask, "What do you remember?"

Xiao Lou looked serious, and said in a low voice: "Our guess is correct, His Majesty is indeed raising Gu by copying so many princes, and those 100 five-year-old children were locked in the same room by His Majesty to compete, and only the best survived. In the end, including me, four survived. Suppose I am No. 1, the submissive Xiao Lou Han Jiang saw in His Majesty’s palace is No. 2, and the person who is most like a prince at the birthday party is No. 3 , there is also a number 4, we have never seen."

Lu Jiuchuan was full of resentment: "That is to say, the other 97 copied children have been artificially destroyed? This majesty is really fucking sick!"

Ye Qi complained: "This His Majesty's way of cultivating heirs is really weird..."

Xiao Lou said: "Xiao Lou No. 4 has no clue yet. He may have been hidden by His Majesty, or he may have escaped from the Luoke Empire. Let's find the invisible man who can sing first, maybe they have some clues."

Teammates agree.

Yu Hanjiang said: "The sea area of ​​the entire Azure Planet exceeds 50%, and the range is too wide. It is better for us to find a means of transportation."

Shao Qingge thought for a while and said, "I'm going to buy a suspension car."

Since the other four people fled secretly to the Azure Empire and could not be discovered, only Shao Qingge and Ye Qi came here to travel in a fair way, so Shao Qingge came forward and bought a large car that can hold up to 10 people. suspension car.

This car is like a "floating house"

It's almost like a son, and the interior furnishings are very luxurious.

The mainstream means of transportation in the world's cities in the future will be suspension vehicles, and the air traffic will be developed, so there will be no "traffic jam" scenes. Moreover, the suspension vehicles are all automatic navigation and automatic driving, and there is no need to consider the issue of driver's license.

Shao Qingge drove back to the hotel to pick up the four of Xiao Lou, and followed the navigation to the nearest beach.

The beach here is as beautiful as Sun City. The white sandy beach is so clean that it seems to reflect light. The sand is fine and soft. Many tourists play on the beach with bare feet, and many people are playing entertainment such as sea airships.

Shao Qingge and Ye Qi inquired along the road: "Have you ever heard that invisible people can sing?"

The tourist looked blank: "I haven't heard of it!"

Ye Qi also asked some naive children: "Did Mom and Dad tell you that disobedient children will be caught and eaten by invisible people who sing in the middle of the night?" The children looked at Ye Qi like a fool: "Ha Haha, big brother, do you think I am three years old? Only three-year-olds would believe this kind of story!"

Ye Qi: "..."

The two spent the whole morning inquiring at the beach, but found nothing.

Everyone knows it's just a legend, just like the fairy tale "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", if you pull a person by the side of the road and ask "Have you seen Snow White", others will definitely think you have sick.

Even children think that Ye Qi is sick - this kind of story is only believed by a three-year-old, and not by a five-year-old.

After returning to the suspension car, Ye Qi hugged his head with a headache: "No one has seen the invisible man who can sing, let alone heard the singing... Is this legend reliable?"

Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, "Check in another place."

Lu Jiuchuan leaned on the seat and folded his legs, and analyzed: "The legend is not groundless. I think there must be something in the ocean. However, human beings live on land and don't know enough about the mysterious ocean... Inquire about it at tourist attractions It's useless, it's better to go to those fishermen who fish for a living."

Xiao Lou also agreed with this idea: "Look for fishermen, they are the ones who know the sea best."

This is the beach closest to the hotel. Shao Qingge just drove the hover car here. After hearing Xiao Lou's words, Shao Qingge modified the navigation and drove the hover car to the area where fishermen often live.

Ye Qi approached the oldest old man in the fishing village and asked, "Old man, have you heard the legend of the invisible man?"

The old man basked in the sun and said with a smile, "Who is it? My ears are not very good."

Ye Qi leaned close to his ear, and loudly shouted: "The invisible man from the ocean! We are from other places. I heard that there are people singing here every night. Come and see if you are curious!"

The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "Singing? Oh, Lao Zhang's daughter next door likes singing the most."

Ye Qi was helpless.

I asked around in the fishing village, but still got nothing. Ye Qi returned to the suspension car, and said dejectedly: "No one here has heard the singing with their own ears, and they all say it's a rumor left by their ancestors."

The clues are too vague, and the vast sea area of ​​the entire planet is beyond imagination, so it is too difficult to investigate.

But what brother Jiu said is also right. Since the legend has been passed on for so many years, it should not be groundless. Someone must have heard it with their own ears. However, there is no trace of who heard the singing for the first time and where it was heard in the past so many years.

Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, "It seems that we can only wait until after dark to try our luck and wander around the sea to see if we can meet an invisible person who can sing?"

But the sea area is so big, even if they drive Chu Huaying's starship around the planet, it will take several hours. What's more, the speed of the hover car is much lower than that of the starship. If they want to drive the hover car around the planet, it will take three days It must be finished.

luck? It is indeed possible to get lucky.

But what if you can't hit it? Isn't it a waste of time.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lou suddenly said, "I have an idea."

The teammates looked back at him.

Xiao Lou took out a card, with a helpless expression on his face: "We can only invite Di Renjie."

Everyone: "........."

Almost forgot, among the strange character cards that Xiao Lou drew, there was also a magic card that he had never used before: Di Renjie.

Mr. Di is specially designed to deal with this kind of "confused" situation. Using Di Renjie's skills, the secret room of hearts can directly find a clue, and the secret room of squares can eliminate a wrong maze route or solve a mechanism. Now it is a comprehensive secret room, and it is most convenient to use Di Renjie to find clues. It's a pity that this card is a limited skill, and it can only be used once in each secret room.

When Ye Qi heard Di Renjie, he couldn't help but excitedly said: "Professor Xiao's card is indeed only Di Renjie, which we have never seen before. Why don't we invite Di Renjie to come out when it gets dark?"

Xiao Lou nodded: "Okay, let's talk about it in the early morning when no one is around."

Shao Qingge parked the suspension car in the largest fisherman's village on the blue planet, waiting for it to get dark.

Since the legend of the invisible man's singing was spread by the fishermen, it must be that the ancestors of the fishermen encountered this incident when they went out to sea. Therefore, the probability of finding clues near the fishing village is the greatest.

It was getting dark, and the lights in the fishing village were turned off one after another. After all the fishermen had gone to bed and it was one o'clock in the morning, Xiao Lou summoned Di Renjie.

The young version of Di Renjie, dressed in an ancient official uniform, holds a fan in his hand, while shaking it thoughtfully.

Xiao Lou used the skill - Detective.

Di Renjie muttered: "Well, let me think about it..."

Then

, under the curious onlookers of his teammates, Di Renjie stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance.

A ray of soft light appeared on the sea in the distance, that must be the location of the clue.

Xiao Lou's eyes lit up, he put away Di Renjie, and said, "Everyone, act."

【Chapter 438, The Mysterious Sea】

Shao Qingge drove the hover car towards the direction of the bright light.

It was late at night, the entire sea area was quiet and windless, and the street lights around the coastline were getting farther and farther away from them.

It was pitch black all around. The sky above the head is full of stars, and those starlights are projected on the sea surface, like countless diamonds sprinkled on the sea surface.

Shao Qingge's hover car floated in the air, getting closer and closer to the bright spot.

Suddenly, a hurricane blew up around, and the teammates only felt a strong blow, and the whole body suddenly fell back. Yu Hanjiang hurriedly put his arms around Xiao Lou's waist: "Be careful!"

Ye Qi was sitting on the sofa. Since the suspension vehicle was blown over by the hurricane, he rolled to the rear of the vehicle like a ball, and immediately heard a loud "boom" in his ears, and the suspension vehicle fell directly To the sea!

After the vehicle falls into the water, if the escape window is not opened in time, because the water pressure outside is greater than the air pressure inside the vehicle, it will become more and more difficult to open the window, until finally all the people trapped in the vehicle suffocate to death.

Of course Yu Hanjiang knew the first aid method for falling into the water.

He was strict and quick, and at the moment the car crashed into the water, he immediately took out the night demon saber, slashed open the skylight of the hover car, and took Xiao Lou into the sky with a lightness card.

As the sunroof was split open, sea water poured into the car crazily.

Ye Qi was caught off guard by being gulped down a mouthful of seawater, and was so choked that he couldn't help coughing: "Cough cough...cough!"

He couldn't swim, a large amount of sea water poured into his lungs with coughing, Ye Qi was so uncomfortable that he waved his hands and struggled desperately, Shao Qingge hurriedly swam over, picked him up from the water, and quickly swam out of the hover car through the skylight.

Yu Hanjiang put down the white silk card, Shao Qingge grabbed the white cloth, and Yu Hanjiang pulled the two of them out of the sea.

Both Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci could swim, so they hurriedly held their breath and climbed out of the hover car.

Almost the moment they climbed out, the metal suspension car sank into the deep sea at a speed visible to the naked eye. Only then did Lu Jiuchuan discover that there was a huge vortex nearby!

Lu Jiuchuan couldn't help cursing: "Fuck! Did this Di Renjie point us to a bright road, or a dead end?! If we didn't react quickly enough, we would almost be drowned..."

Xiao Loudao: "Run, everyone, be careful to avoid the hurricane at sea!"

A sea hurricane like a tornado swept towards them. The hurricane was like a terrible black vortex, which was about to swallow them up. Lu Jiuchuan's expression changed, and he decisively summoned Suzaku.

The big bird spread its flaming wings and flew into the air, carrying Lu Jiuchuan on its back.

Yu Hanjiang threw the white silk card to his brother, and Lu Jiuchuan took it, tied Tang Ci with a white cloth and hung him forward. Yu Hanjiang hugged Xiao Lou with his Qinggong card and ran forward, while Shao Qingge took out his teleportation card and carried Ye Qi to teleport 50 meters at a time.

Ye Qi was choked by the sea water, his face was red, Shao Qingge patted his back lightly, and asked in a low voice: "Are you all right?"

"It's okay, ahem... let's go!"

The six people took out the fastest speed, flew into the distance in embarrassment, and narrowly avoided this wave of hurricane!

The surroundings were pitch black, and with the help of the starlight in the sky, it was impossible to see what was on the sea surface, but Xiao Lou always felt that there seemed to be many things floating in the nearby sea area...

He took out the night pearl.

Seeing the sea area illuminated by the luminous pearl, Xiao Lou suddenly felt chills down his spine: "Look at the sea surface!"

The teammates looked back—there were countless wrecks of ships scattered on the surrounding sea, and many white human bones! One of the boats was floating crookedly on the sea. The wood on it had rotted due to the age, and a lot of blood stains on the wood, as well as people's broken clothes could be vaguely seen.

Ye Qi's eyes widened: "Is this... a restricted area at sea?"

Legend has it that certain sea areas are places where humans cannot set foot, because those who enter there cannot come out alive. There is also the so-called "Devil's Triangle" in the movie. All ships that sail to that area cannot escape the fate of sinking ships.

Judging from the large number of shipwrecks around them, they accidentally stepped into the restricted area of ​​the sea today, and they were able to escape alive because of these powerful cards.

The ray designated by Di Renjie happened to be at the vortex in the center of the sea.

Xiao Lou took a deep breath: "What is there?"

Lu Jiuchuan asked: "Could that vortex be the entrance to the underwater world?"

It's a pity that none of them are professional divers. If they dive into the bottom of the sea, they can barely survive if they don't breathe for a minute or two.

Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang: "What should I do?"

It was also the first time that he lost his mind. Although Di Renjie helped them find the key sea area, how did they go down here? It would be great if there was Liu Qiao. Xiao Lou remembered that Liu Qiao had a fairy tale card [Mermaid Princess] in his hand, which could turn the whole team into mermaids, not afraid of sea water.

Just as he was thinking, a strange singing sound suddenly came from the sea.

The surroundings are completely silent, only the ethereal and clear singing voice is left, like a call from ancient times, singing softly in everyone's ears. Everyone couldn't hear what she was singing, but the voice was very soft and beautiful, just like the sounds of nature.

Lu Jiuchuan's face changed - this was the song he heard before he fell into a coma on the Zerg planet.

There was not even a single person around, and the singing voice did not know where it came from.

The singing continued, as if it had some magical power, calling them...

The six people gradually became a little confused, as if they saw a large garden appearing in the vortex on the sea surface, and there was a road leading to the depths of the sea of ​​flowers. This is a landscape more beautiful than a mirage.

Yu Hanjiang pinched his legs hard, and shouted in a low voice: "Everyone, cover your ears, this sound can confuse people's hearts!"

Everyone suddenly came back to their senses, Xiao Lou immediately took out the team voice headset and sent it to everyone. The six of them covered their left ear with one hand, and pressed the bump on the right headset with the other. The singing stopped and everyone's sanity recovered immediately. wide awake.

Ye Qi said: "I seem to have hallucinations just now?"

Lu Jiuchuan said: "The singing is indeed a bit magical. I remember that when I heard the singing on the Zerg planet, I thought I saw heaven in a trance. It should be an illusion!"

Tang Ci whispered: "A sea creature that can sing? Could it be the legendary mermaid?"

Xiao Lou was stunned, and suddenly thought of a rumor: "That's right! As early as in the "Shan Hai Jing", it was recorded that there is a kind of merman from the deep sea. , and is very good at using magical singing to confuse people's hearts. As long as someone hears the singing of the sharks in the passing ships, they will be intoxicated in the singing until they die. The sharks often use singing to trap passing ships and kill humans. "

When Ye Qi heard this, he suddenly realized: "I know about mermen. There are often settings where mermen sing in Xianxia games... The mermen in ancient Chinese legends are actually the mermaids in Western Fantasy legends, right?!"

Xiao Lou nodded: "That's right, the Mermaids of the deep sea!"

Thinking of the fairy tale card [Mermaid Princess] that Liu Qiao had once drawn, Xiao Lou suddenly had a strange premonition, and he said, "Perhaps, Xiao Liu, Senior Gui and Lao Mo are assigned identities this time not as human beings, but as deep sea creatures." mermaid clan!"

Lu Jiuchuan couldn't help but said: "But if they are on this planet, why didn't they respond when we opened the Taohuayuan? Isn't it possible to teleport on the same planet?"

Xiao Lou speculated: "It might be that the mermaid can't go ashore, or it might be that the deep-sea environment blocks the card summoning?" He paused, and said, "Of course, I'm just guessing. Sure."

Yu Hanjiang's face was serious: "If Liu Qiao and the others are really mermaids, it is very likely that the mermaids are a separate plot line, and some things have happened that need them to solve."

Shao Qingge rubbed his temples helplessly, and said: "The question now is, how do the six of us enter the mermaid sea?" He looked at Ye Qi, whose face was flushed and hair was wet from the sea water just now: "Xiao Ye You and Professor Xiao can't swim, Team Yu, although you can swim, but the place where mermaids live is deep sea, and humans can't go down, right?"

The problem is stuck in an endless loop.

With Liu Qiao, everyone can transform into a mermaid, not afraid of sea water.

But the problem is that they can't find Liu Qiao now?

Tang Ci said with a sullen face: "My drone can't go into the sea either... I knew I should be a mechanical submarine."

Shao Qingge suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Can I buy a submarine with money?"

Lu Jiuchuan couldn't laugh or cry: "Mr. Shao, money is not everything. Submarines are military-controlled equipment, and ordinary people can't buy them. If I were in the Luoke Empire, I might be able to use my authority to get one, but now, Both Tang Ci and I escaped...we are not familiar with this country."

The six people were suspended in the sea, looking at each other.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Lou suddenly thought of a solution. He patted his forehead vigorously: "...there is a good understanding?! Why did you forget this?"

Ye Qi's eyes lit up: "That's right! You can invite your teammates to establish a spiritual communication channel if you have a good heart. If Liu Qiao is on this planet, we can definitely connect with her and let her come to support us!"

Xiao Lou immediately summoned Qin Guan, opened "Mind Consonance Yitong", and invited Liu Qiao to establish a connection.

The invitation was sent out for a while, and it really got a response.

A familiar girl's voice sounded in my mind, with a hint of doubt: "Professor Xiao?"

Hearing this voice, Xiao Lou was really relieved!

He hurriedly asked: "Xiao Liu, where are you? We are currently in the sea area of ​​the blue planet. I haven't seen you since entering the secret room of level Q. Are you with Senior Gui and Lao Mo?"

Liu Qiao: "..."

There was a sudden silence in my mind.

Xiao Lou asked doubtfully, "Xiao Liu?"

Liu Qiao's voice sounded again: "Professor Xiao, what are you talking about? Didn't we meet just now?"
