……

Little Shen Mian followed her mother to buy seafood at the market.

The seafood seller was their neighbor. She smiled and said to Shen Mian's mother, "Your Mianmian is different from other girls at all. She doesn't like to smile at all."

The mother was talking nonsense in a serious manner: "We have met someone, and this child has a face that promises promotion and fortune. He will laugh away his fortune and official fortune with just one smile!"

"Really? When our little Mian Mian becomes a high-ranking official, we have to promote Aunt Guo's seafood!"

Shen Mian thought, why do you call me Mianmian? My name is Mian from the red cotton tree, not soft Mianmian!

Why do I know which cotton she is talking about?

Mom's voice was very warm: "Look at what kind of seafood you want to eat. Don't buy too much. The refrigerator won't fit in it."

The first thing I saw was a pot of roses. Are they real flowers? But it feels plush, as if wool has been braided on the wire, and there is a label next to the flowerpot.

"Deep sea rose, beauty and beauty, %￥705## invalid!&*hot, hot, hot"

Shen Mian can't understand the words at the end, it's okay, she is a primary school student, it's normal for her not to understand!

What I wrote about the deep sea is seafood!

"Stay away from her! Stay away from it!"

Who is talking to her?

Shen Mian retracted her hand unhappily: "It's not like we can eat it, you want it if you want it!"

The roses faded away...

In the second tank was a flat, talking fish cake with no words on the label.

The fish cake said to her: "Take me away, I'm delicious!"

Even if the fish can talk, fish cakes can also talk!

Is this game not afraid of players complaining about the uncanny valley effect at all?

What is the uncanny valley effect?

"No," Shen Mian refused, "It's not healthy to eat pre-made dishes. Who knows if you added leather soles as adhesives."

The fish cakes made a snapping sound on the water tank. It must have been made with high technology and hard work! She is so smart!

Go, go, go...

Shen Mian saw a large black octopus, its tentacles swaying with the water waves. It looked very suitable for stir-frying!

Just looking at it feels like all the attention is sucked away.

There are three words written on the label: "Not for sale."

Why not sell it! The best things are only for me! Shen Mian stared at it greedily.

[Okay, say something to it, maybe it will go away with you on its own. 】

Shen Mian racked his brains and came up with an idea, and came up with the legendary strategy strategy: "You are so special. You are different from all the men I know...all the seafood. Your tentacles give me a sense of alienation. You You want excessive garlic chili sauce, you want unreasonable peppercorns, you want the fire of the gas stove to roast your soul, forget it in the middle, forget it at the end. In short, are you there, look at the sucker."

A golden dice rolled before her,

[The throwing result is 1d10=1, the persuasion is a great success. 】

[The contract is completed, and you have reached a weak connection with an indescribable existence. 】

[At this time, your sanity value is 99<100. Mortals will eventually pay the price for their arrogance. 】

[The throwing result is 1d10=10, and the sanity check fails. 】

[This great being cast a glance at you in a dream. 】

[Facing the great existence, you will pay 10*10=100 sanity points. 】

[Attention, the sanity value is about to return to zero! 】

[You are about to fall into permanent madness. 】

【The sea is the eternal home. 】

……

For a while, Shen Mian found himself standing in a maze surrounded by water tanks.

What do I want to do? By the way, I want to buy seafood.

[Warning, sanity value is below 60! 】

There are so many fish, long ones, round ones, flat ones, long-tusked ones, talking ones, whole ones, broken ones, crying ones, furry ones, long-legged ones——

[Warning, sanity value is below 30! 】

So much sea water! Green sea water... The sea water is in front of her, around her, on the ground, on the roof, the ocean is the sky, the sky is the ocean, the sea water soaks the corners of her clothes, the sea water wets her hair——

[Warning, sanity value is below 10! 】

Mom patted her head: "Go back, don't delay your afternoon piano lesson."

No piano lessons, no piano lessons, no piano lessons, mom’s tentacles are so soft, if I had tentacles...

A drop of mucus slowly flowed down Shen Mian's forehead——

[Return to sanity——]

Everything around him turned into distorted dark blue geometric surfaces, yet they felt so soft and slimy to the touch.

Gradually you can no longer think, you don't need to think, you don't know what your body is doing...

You are no longer you, you feel a sense of relief and joy...

You look at the sea and walk towards home...

……

"Come with me!"

One hand grabbed Shen Mian and led her outside.

They ran through the water tank maze, through the deserted vegetable market, past silk roses and leather shoe fish cakes.

The places they ran through changed from three-dimensional to black and white flat silhouettes, blown away by the wind.

Finally, it returns to endless pure white nothingness.

Shen Mian looked at the little girl's back blankly.

The little girl was wearing a gorgeous pink tutu with glittering jewelry on the corners of her hair. Her body also exuded the sweet scent of creamy chocolate cake.

A beautiful girl.

A living sacrifice to the ocean.

She is Shen Mianmian.

There is no way ahead.

And behind them, countless black threads followed them like sea snakes, and even the pure white nothingness would be swallowed by this darkness.

Shen Mianmian stopped, her tutu was covered in dust, her jewelry fell to the floor, and her sweet fragrance was tinged with the fishy smell of sea.

The girl turned towards Shen Mian, resentment and fear intertwined in her eyes, as if she was crazy.

"You see it! You see it! This is the world in my eyes! This is my superpower!"

"You fake! You thief! You want my life, right? I'll give it to you! Take it all!"

"I give you this cursed blood! I want to see your end!"

The black silk thread went around Shen Mian and wrapped around Shen Mianmian's ankles. The crazy and painful look on her face turned numb and calm.

The image of Shen Mianmian in front of him kept changing.

From the girl in a cake skirt, to the gloomy girl in school uniform, to...

The black line has been swallowed up to the neck.

The woman's face was covered with bruises, scars, and rotting and bleeding wounds.

Tears mixed with blood, mixed with cheap loose powder eye shadow, blush, contouring highlight, flowed down, and mixed into a strange red.

About to fall but not yet.

Shen Mian had a premonition.

Shen Mianmian will never appear again.

She was going to disappear completely from this world, leaving no trace behind.

"Do not trust anyone."

"Don't talk to the sea."

"So cold, so hungry, so painful...Mom——"

A tear of blood disappeared into the darkness.

never ending.

……

In the endless darkness, the expressionless Shen Mian looked at his palm.

A thin booklet turned to the first page automatically and disappeared quickly.

A small black octopus appeared in the palm of his right hand.

The tentacles are short and the head is a bit too big.

Holding it in her hand, it was like a small cold dish on a white porcelain plate.

But it is not a completely living creature.

With a slight movement, the warp and weft textures of black and white wool are revealed, like a doll made of wool.

Shen Mian sighed and poked the big head of the octopus.

"Chi—" the octopus made the sound of a pinched rubber duck.

Is that what the octopus is called?

"System, I want to buy Xinxing... Anyway, it's the 49-point supplement pack. Come on, don't pretend to be dead."
