"Do you know who it is?"
When the doctor saw Elliot put down the LCD screen, he couldn't wait to speak.
"Mermaid," Elliot raised his lips slightly in response to everyone's incredulous gazes. The mermaid was among the seven people. He carefully observed everyone's expressions: "It's called Siren."
Unfortunately, no one revealed any flaws.
He could accurately see the transparent numbers floating next to each person. Most of these bounty hunters only had 300 years of time. Normally, if there was a mermaid mixed in among them, Elliot could easily find it with that astonishing amount of time. The strange thing was that no one had so much time. The mermaid's disguise did not only change the appearance.
"What a joke!" a hunter shouted at him, "It's as weak as a chicken! I can crush it to death with just half a hand!"
"So you did it?" Elliot said calmly, "Did any of you really hurt it? No, on the contrary, Jeffrey, who wanted to r@pe it, died first."
The young man's unhurried look was really annoying. Thinking of his dead companions and the captain, the angry hunter punched him. Elliot grabbed the opponent's fist. The moment his supernatural power was activated, the hunter whose hand he held lost the blood color on his cheeks at a speed visible to the naked eye. While the opponent still had half a breath left, Elliot gave him another 100 years.
"This is my ability," he did not explain the type of his ability. Usually, people whose time has been taken away will not realize that they have lost time until the very end. The dying bounty hunter in front of him would also only mistakenly think that he had walked a circle on the line of death: "You all saw the Siren's message. No one wants to die, and I don't want to stay here forever. We are on the same side on this matter, so..."
Nancy smiled awkwardly: "Temporary reconciliation?"
"Help each other." Elliot continued, "This game has a loophole. If we all stay together for 24 hours, it will definitely be exposed when it kills people. But this goes against the original intention of the mermaid. It may kill everyone directly. The mermaid is stronger than all of us combined. I suggest that everyone move normally, or simply move enough food to the room and lock the doors and windows."
"D@mn it!" Another hunter spat. Elliot was not surprised. Apart from Allen, these desperate criminals would not obey anyone: "Who do you think you are to tell us what to do------"
The doctor grabbed the man's shoulder and said, "Don't start a quarrel." He looked at Elliot and said, "Do you have anything else to say?"
"Another loophole," Elliot glanced at them one by one: "Siren didn't say how long the game would end, so of course she can keep killing until only I'm left. Is this considered cheating?"
"Well......"
Nancy frowned. "Indeed."
"You are so stupid," Elliot laughed. He knew that the mermaid was looking at him from behind the disguise of a human, so he simply used the more intimate pronoun of the second person: "Well, since I found a loophole, and the loophole will directly affect the outcome of the game, if I am the only one left in the end, you have to play another game with me. The rules are determined by me, but I promise it will be very fair. You have killed two people today. If you want to express your consent, don't kill anyone tonight."
The bounty hunters looked at each other in surprise after he finished speaking. There were whispers among them. The oldest hunter among them said bluntly, "Why don't you just set a time limit for the game?"
Elliot shrugged without answering.
He didn't know if he could trick the mermaid. Actually, there was nothing wrong with the game itself. The time limit was "he was the only one left": one every night, for exactly seven days. The mermaid looked stupid anyway...he might as well trick it. He had to leave himself a way out if possible.
Nothing unexpected happened until dark. Allen was not there for dinner, so Elliot was the only one sitting at the table. Just when he was about to finish the macaroni on his plate, a girl with a graceful figure sat down next to him. Nancy was holding a bottle of blue whiskey in her hand. She was smoking a cigarette, and the back of her feet formed a moving arc under the fishnet stockings and high-heeled sandals.
"Ryan... No, Ah Ye," she lowered her voice: "What you said this morning was all true? Mermaids kill people?"
Elliot took the wine she handed over and said, "If you believe me, it is of course true."
"Why does the mermaid want to keep only you? Does it see you as its mate?"
"maybe."
"I never thought mermaids would be so powerful," she said, dejectedly at the young man's noncommittal attitude. "Just like bugs, none of these human-like creatures are good."
"At least no one will die tonight, and we know the source of the danger," Elliot comforted her: "If you don't mind, can you tell me about the bugs?"
"Zerg," Nancy's face changed, "They are beautiful and look like gods, but they are different from humans. Zerg are invading the universe we live in. Someone once told me that the Zerg's violence is very strong. He saw more than a dozen Zerg taking turns to capture a prisoner in public on the battlefield, one after another... That was a federal general. When the general died, they hung his head high. It was so barbaric."
"Are bugs powerful?"
"So powerful that if a Zerg wants you, I will not resist and will just wait to die in this game."
Elliot raised his lips slightly. If Nancy asked him that question...
"Who do you think the mermaid is disguised as today?"
She asked anyway.
Elliot avoided answering and looked into her violet eyes. The faint smile on the young man's lips made Nancy's heart tremble. She had long known that the young man who deceived the captain had an extremely outstanding appearance, ebony-like hair, and except for his eyebrows and slightly red lips, the rest of his body was almost white. When she looked at him up close, the visual impact was completely unimaginable.
Elliot saw her staring at him without blinking, and his voice was seductive: "Compared to this, I think------"
"Stop, stop, stop!" Nancy couldn't help but stare at him with wide eyes: "Don't try this on me, I still can't forget how the captain died, you are really, really...!" Elliot was flirting with anyone now, which was tantamount to pushing that person into the fire pit. She was so angry that she almost laughed: "Even if you escape this time, you will be locked up sooner or later, little liar, I promise."
It wasn't her today.
The mermaid would not refuse to contact him at this level. Elliot concealed the deep meaning in his eyes and smiled nonchalantly at the hot girl in front of him.
As expected, no one died that night, which means that the mermaid agreed to Elliot to start another game after the killing game. He overslept in the morning, and the youngest bounty hunter on the starship came to wake him up for lunch. He didn't have a deep impression of this young hunter. In his memory, the young man was always very introverted, even at the party the night before Allen's death, he locked himself in the room. Hearing him answer the door, the boy stayed outside the door for a while and then went to the restaurant alone. After Elliot opened the door, he looked at the other person's back thoughtfully.
Aloof, introverted, and friendless, if a mermaid wants to disguise herself, it is very convenient to choose such a person. It only needs to remain silent and does not have to deal with any social interactions.
Nothing happened during the day. On the first night of the game, although most people were still half-believing and half-doubting, the atmosphere in the starship became heavy. The oldest bounty hunter asked him if he had found the mermaid, and Elliot shook his head. After a while, the young hunter really returned to the room before everyone else. Only six bounty hunters were left in the hall. Nancy and the doctor exchanged glances, and the latter coughed.
"If Ah Ye can't find anyone for the time being," he pointed in the direction the boy left: "Temporarily decide to make him Robin. Ah Ye, go tell him later."
Although Elliot felt that the boy was suspicious, it was impossible for a mermaid not to understand this simple inference. However, there was no more suitable person at the moment, and there would be more clues after tonight, so he could only do what the old hunter said. When Elliot knocked on the boy's door and told him that he thought he was a mermaid, the latter only looked at him coldly, and closed the door without saying anything.
That night, Elliot locked the door. After Allen's death, he moved back to his room. He was a light sleeper and could usually hear any noise. He vaguely felt that someone opened the door, but he could not open his eyes. His eyelids felt like they weighed a thousand pounds. The figure walked to the bed, gave him an icy ki33 on his face, and his almost cold fingers slid down his neck. It seemed as if someone had undressed him. The intense pleasure brought by the mermaid sucking his blood spread in his brain. Elliot wanted to strangle the other person's neck, but instead his hands were grabbed and he was pressed hard on the bed.
He didn't know how much time had passed before he heard someone break in the door. Nancy's extremely surprised voice woke him up.
"Oh my god! Ah Ye!"
Elliot opened his eyes. Brilliant sunshine filled the whole little house. He was surrounded by piles of glittering round beads. The pure, dreamy white color made them look priceless. On the wooden floor, on the bed, around his arms, waist, hips and legs, there were hundreds of crystal white beads. When the sunlight shone on them, they even shone brightly.
"Are these pearls? So beautiful," Nancy looked at the scene in disbelief. "What did you meet last night? A beautiful lady transformed from a clam shell?"
"No, Nancy," Elliot grabbed the shirt beside him and put it on. There were still red marks on his wrists. He knew how much strength the mermaid had used last night, but he didn't feel any discomfort. They hadn't reached the last step: "This is not Pearl. Did anyone die last night?"
"Speaking of which," Nancy held up the LCD screen in her hand to make sure Elliot could see the words on it: "Robin is dead. He is not a mermaid. Siren left you a text message."
【You failed, this is the punishment. 】
Mermaids ovulate through ejaculation, and the white eggs are fertilized at birth. Mermaids do not need their mothers to reproduce and only rely on their fathers. The other party poured white pearls all over him. This perverted way of declaring ownership is really evil.
Elliot casually grabbed a small pearl-like ball. It seemed that because it had spent a night close to his temperature, the time contained in this white bead was five thousand years. This time, the mermaid only left a trace on the surface of his body. He might not be so lucky next time.
It seems that neither the little beauty nor he wants to be down there...
He narrowed his eyes, and his eyes darkened.
