Infinitely Criticizing the Villain for Being Like My Ex-Boyfriend

The door suddenly opened and Zhang Chunliang returned to the library where he came in.

He did not leave in a hurry, but went straight to look for books on the bookshelf.

There are many bookshelves in this room, nearly twenty rows of books densely packed together, and each bookshelf is marked with different labels.

The bookshelf behind the swimming pool door is filled with books related to mermaids.

Most of them are legends about mermaids, but the versions vary.

Some people say that eating mermaid meat can make you immortal. But in a certain unofficial history book, it is recorded that someone once ate the meat of a half-human, half-fish creature and turned into a meat ball covered with tentacles.

There are rumors that mermaids feed on human spirits and use their beautiful singing to make sailors on the sea lose their way, eventually causing them to immerse themselves in illusory dreams and die... In short, throughout the long river of history, from ancient times to the present, there have been some lucky people who have seen mermaids. They worship, are curious about, and extremely afraid of these mysterious creatures.

Zhang Chunliang glanced through the bibliography and found a leaflet in one of the books.

He had seen this flyer. At the beginning of the game, he had one in his hand - it was a promotional poster for the "Carnival Siren". The poster used an island with mermaid treasure buried as a gimmick to attract tourists to sign up. Because this flyer could get a discount on the boat ticket, many tourists on the ship had one.

Zhang Chunliang casually flipped through it and found it was exactly the same as his. He wondered which passenger had left it here while reading a book.

He was about to put it back into the book when he suddenly stopped.

He suddenly realized something - why did the "flyer" belonging to tourists appear in the hands of a small crew member like him?

The crew members boarded the ship for free and did not need a discount on the flyer, so how did he get the flyer in his hand?

Did he pick it up by chance? Or was he not actually a crew member?

Zhang Chunliang recalled the rock youth in the room next to him, who once mentioned in his essay that he always felt that he was not a crew member.

Does this mean that the original identities of many people on this ship have changed... ?

Why did the passengers become crew members? Where did the previous crew members go? Were they killed by the mermaids?

Zhang Chunliang put the book back on the bookshelf and began to search quickly among the rows of bookshelves.

His movements were a little hasty, which attracted the attention of the mermaid bone - it was flipping through a children's picture book, which recorded the story of the Little Mermaid.

"It's okay, Xiao Ai." Zhang Chunliang comforted it while searching for what he wanted, "Keep reading, you should read more books..."

The mermaid bone then coiled up its tail again and studied hard, trying to figure out how to turn the fish tail into human legs.

Zhang Chunliang soon found what he wanted, which was a closed safe with the words "Passenger File" labeled on it.

Sure enough, all the paper materials on the ship were kept in this library.

He looked at the complicated combination lock, pondered for a moment, and took out the mermaid eggs he had prepared in advance from his backpack.

Sure enough, the safe absorbed the fish eggs just like the door before and opened.

It seems that the safety lock is just a decoy, and the real key is the mermaid egg. This seemingly simple and crude "key" is actually the safest protection.

"What a great stuff... or else let Vio live a little longer..." Zhang Chunliang muttered to himself as he opened the safe and took out a thick stack of information from it.

He frowned and searched for a while, and indeed found the information that belonged to him.

【Name: Zhang Chunliang

Age: 16 years old (if you do not meet the experimental age, rash integration will cause the experiment to get out of control)

Status: D-class passenger, accompanied by family members]

On another information sheet after him was a headshot of his uncle.

【Name: Ithaca

Age: 41 years old (fusion experiment has been carried out, and rejection occurred)

Status: D-class passenger, accompanied by family members]

Zhang Chunliang stared at the line of words for a long time before folding the information sheet neatly and putting it in his pocket.

Then, he quickly looked through the information of other people and found a few acquaintances, all of whom were players he had seen before.

There is no mention of the so-called fusion experiment in the information of these people.

But according to Zhang Chunliang's speculation, the captain's camp's mission they are currently carrying out is most likely another "fusion experiment."

He roughly counted the number of information sheets and found that there were seriously insufficient numbers.

The "Siren" can accommodate more than 10,000 people, but there are less than 5,000 information sheets in the safe.

Where did the rest of the people go?

Zhang Chunliang pursed his lips, knowing the answer well.

In the boundless ocean, innocent passengers and crew members became victims of the struggle between the captain and the mermaids. They might have become the food for the mermaids and the breeding ground for their eggs, or they might have become one of the experimental subjects developed by the captain using the mermaid eggs.

In short, they are lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and also the minced meat that has been swollen under the endless waves.

As for why his original body changed from a passenger to a crew member, Zhang Chunliang already had the answer in his mind.

The crew members are the property of the ship and will naturally be "used first" by the captain. He can use all kinds of excuses to trick the crew members into doing experiments, and these people often never return.

In order to fill the vacancies in the crew, he hypnotized some of the passengers in some way... no, he hypnotized all the passengers, making some of them become crew members, while the others continued to live comfortably on the "moving" Siren, enjoying themselves to the fullest.

Therefore, this long-decayed and sinful cruise ship still maintained the illusion of prosperity and peace, and moved towards its demise in an orderly manner.

[Players please note, the camp you belong to: ? ? ? The following camp tasks are now released. Please complete the tasks within the specified time, otherwise you will be punished by the camp leader.

Camp Mission 2: Help the camp leader acquire human legs. (10th day)]

Zhang Chunliang: “?”

His face turned pale and he quickly walked to the mermaid bones.

Big Bone hugged the picture book with an unsatisfied look on his face, and his tail was flapping the ground happily.

Seeing that Zhang Chunliang had finished his work and came back to find it, it quickly raised its tail from the ground and came over affectionately.

"You are the most unruly fish I have ever seen." Zhang Chunliang looked at it depressedly, "The mermaid princess will trade her voice for legs, what are you going to trade?"

Even though he was complaining, Zhang Chunliang's mind had already quickly listed several ways to turn the fish bones into human legs, but they were all very time-consuming.

What Zhang Chunliang lacks most now is time.

He had a premonition that this ship was like an active volcano that was about to erupt. It would soon spew out poisonous magma and bury all the truth.

Mermaid Bone didn't know how he had offended Zhang Chunliang. He nervously held the picture book, exuding unspeakable panic and timidity. He subconsciously covered the rose on his chest.

Zhang Chunliang almost laughed out loud, and the bad mood that had just arisen in his heart disappeared instantly.

"Okay, I surrender." He reluctantly broke off its claws and put them to his mouth, pretending to kiss them. "You are a mermaid princess after all."

At this moment, a hoarse and unclear voice suddenly came out from the loudspeaker in the room: "Dear passengers... At twelve o'clock tonight, the 'Carnival Siren' will present you with the most exciting song and dance performance, as well as the most anticipated... Crazy Auction! Anything you want, we have it all here!! At twelve o'clock tonight, please enter in an orderly manner with your ID cards. We look forward to... your presence."
