Infinitely Criticizing the Villain for Being Like My Ex-Boyfriend

"So how do we get out?"

The players finally removed the rotten flesh deposited on the headless fish corpse, and the entire research institute was filled with a lingering stench.

"If we stay here any longer, we will be poisoned to death..." Someone couldn't bear it anymore and put on the protective mask again.

"Your father has a really nice figure." Zhang Chunliang exclaimed in admiration as he stared at the headless mermaid in front of him that had shrunk to only three meters in height.

The headless mermaid has half of her body with muscles as undulating as mountains, and her upper body is covered with intricate tattoos, giving her a wild and unrestrained beauty.

It was still bound by the roots and vines, but it was in much better spirits, and its tail began to swing back and forth actively. The mouthparts on its tail were hidden under the scaly scars, and it looked no different from other mermaids.

"Thank you for the compliment." The fox nodded politely, "That's exactly what my mother liked about it."

Zhang Chunliang's mind moved, and he turned his head to look at his face.

His mother? A human player goddess?

"Are you sure you want to waste your time with me here?" The fox seemed to sense his curiosity and asked softly with a mocking look in his eyes.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of stomach acid and the stench of rotten meat. The smell was extremely horrible. Zhang Chunliang didn't dare to breathe loudly and waved his hands at him painfully.

"How do we get out?" he asked.

"I don't know. Jon is not my subordinate." The fox said meaningfully, "Maybe you should ask your little baby."

He obviously heard the conversation between Zhang Chunliang and Xiao Ai, and... seemed to be very familiar with Xiao Ai.

Zhang Chunliang felt a slight itch on his ankle. A small green vine crept into his trouser leg and climbed up boldly.

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he quickly pressed the bad guy on the outside of his thigh.

He was almost laughing out of anger when he saw Ivy starting to act pretentiously and heartbroken after being rejected by him.

Last time in the sea, he got very angry with Xiao Ai. This guy hasn't explained to him the bad things he did, and he hasn't considered whether to forgive him.

But that kick just now made Zhang Chunliang the one in the wrong. The scoundrel who had only dared to follow him secretly suddenly began to harass him with a clear conscience.

This was the sixth time he had caught its restless vines.

"You don't want your prey to be poisoned here, do you?" The fox squinted at their little actions and said in a chilling tone, "The matter has been resolved. I think he will not refuse your invitation to return home now."

The pretentious vines obviously understood what he meant and immediately became energetic. They stickily wrapped around Zhang Chunliang's palms, as if confirming his thoughts.

"It's like this... I was originally planning to go and take a look there. Now that the matter has been resolved, does your invitation still count?" Zhang Chunliang asked with a smile.

"Boom——"

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud noise that shook the earth and sky came from all directions.

For a moment, everyone began to stagger and could not stand steadily.

One player's legs went weak and he nearly fell into the pool of gastric acid, but was quickly rescued by 023.

"Hold on to me - don't lean on the railing!" 023's tone was very serious.

The momentum of this vibration was magnificent and endless, and the entire space was rolling and shaking. This movement was definitely not like Captain Will's small-scale fighting, but more like -

"It's a whale, the whale is moving!" The player realized something and screamed, "It loosened its mouth——"

The tiles on the wall began to peel off visibly, crackling into the stomach acid, and the three-story staircase where the players were standing made a hair-raising creaking sound and swayed outward.

As early as the beginning of the vibration, Zhang Chunliang's body was wrapped by a beautiful and tender vine ball. The shaking he felt was extremely slight, but he was extremely anxious in his heart.

"The people outside - don't let them fall." Zhang Chunliang quickly reminded, "Take them away with you!"

Xiao Ai is a very contradictory existence. It is so lively, cute and emotional around Zhang Chunliang, but it is so indifferent and ruthless to all living beings except it.

It was as if these creatures were like barnacles on a whale, huge, moving burdens. It hated these guys, or rather, it never took them seriously.

This is true not only for players, but also for the indigenous mermaids in the dungeon. It can expel all mermaids from its territory because of the loss of the holy relic, and completely ignore their lives.

Like a cold and ungrateful god.

At this moment, it obviously wanted to "screen out" the extra players and only bring Zhang Chunliang back to the nest.

However, Zhang Chunliang's reminder made its little plan come to nothing.

The players who were about to fall down the stairs took out various life-saving props, their nerves tense, they didn't know how long they could hold on -

The next second, countless thick and terrifying tree roots appeared under their feet, very similar to those that tied up the headless fish corpse.

The tree roots wrapped them tightly from head to toe, making them look like a few human-shaped mummies or a bunch of large packages shipped by Fengfeng.

Finally, all the buildings in the stomach began to collapse, falling into the stomach acid and emitting gray-black burnt smoke.

"Excuse me, can you take me out too? I'll be a great decoration for the square..." 023 grabbed the edge of the stairs that was about to collapse, and his heavy stone body was shaking.

"If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. My home address is Building 14, Kaixuan Road Villa District, District A, Warren City. Please tell my daughter that the password to my private study is..."

"Take it away, and the headless fish too..." Zhang Chunliang couldn't catch his breath and patted the inner wall of the vine cage in an urgent manner.

Xiao Ai was obviously trying to cheat and pretended not to understand, and two small yellow flowers bloomed above his head with a "bang".

"Don't be like this." Zhang Chunliang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He was a little annoyed by Xiao Ai's inappropriate coquetry: "023 is a gentle and wise stone. It is a good friend of your subordinate 08865..."

"boom!"

This time, what bloomed before his eyes was a delicate little red flower.

Zhang Chunliang finally understood what this guy meant - he actually wanted to exchange 023's life for the rose he had brought back!

"Change, change, change--" Zhang Chunliang looked through the gap in the cage, seeing 023 about to fall in danger, and could only agree to it helplessly.

So Xiao Ai contentedly wrapped 023 and the headless fish corpse into two large cocoons, and controlled the vines to climb to the top of the stomach sac.

Everything that happened next was chaotic. Even though Xiao Ai had carefully secured Zhang Chunliang, he was still dizzy from the constantly rolling vine ball.

He might have left the whale's stomach. A familiar smell of salty sea water filled his nostrils, and cool sea water squeezed in through the gaps in the vine ball.

He could feel himself swimming inside the whale, as if he was on an exciting whitewater rafting trip.

Finally, he heard a distant and ethereal cry - and then he was blown out of the sea by a huge column of water.

"They are coming out—"

The vines around Zhang Chunliang slowly disappeared. He lay on the deck in embarrassment and shook his head to shake off the water droplets on his hair.

His ears were still ringing with the soul-stirring cry, that high, ethereal sound, carrying with it a mixture of joy and sadness that seemed like relief.

Was it that whale? Why could he hear it—?

"Zhang Chunliang, you are not dead!" Vio wagged his tail and circled around him in surprise.

"Yeah, I'm lucky..." Zhang Chunliang rubbed his ear, stood up from the ground, and looked at it. "You escaped from the swimming pool? Congratulations, you look good."

Behind Vio, dozens of mermaids with colorful tails gathered together, looking at him curiously and warily... and the strange human-shaped package behind him.

"What is this, a gift for us?" Vio slid behind him and tore open the largest cocoon with his sharp claws.

A smiling stone face suddenly appeared inside.

"Ah, is this the sunshine... I haven't felt it for a long time..." 023's gray face had a peaceful and emotional smile.

"Ahhhh!" Vio screamed and swung his tail, then quickly crawled back to the group of mermaids.

"You rude boy." A stern and cold voice scolded unhappily, "Is this how you treat your benefactor?"

A bald man with a fierce and rough face walked out of the mermaid group. He scanned Zhang Chunliang with a stern and solemn gaze for several times, then bowed solemnly: "Kister, the temporary leader of the mermaids, I pay my highest respects to you here."

Zhang Chunliang looked at the bald burly man in front of him, and suddenly a strange emotion arose in his heart.

Kister - the chief bodyguard of the mermaid king Deep Blue, and the culprit who slaughtered and dismembered the mermaid and buried him in the dark underground.

He subconsciously looked for the fox.

The fox was not brought out by Xiao Ai, he left the whale's belly in his own way.

"My wife told me that you want to go to our Holy Island to practice for a while. I welcome you very much, but... I'm not sure whether the Holy Island is willing to accommodate creatures other than mermaids..."

Zhang Chunliang came back to his senses and smiled at him politely: "The mermaids have also helped me a lot, you don't have to be so polite."

For example, the eggs they lay... are really very useful. Zhang Chunliang even wanted to collect some more to take away.

023 clumsily tore off the restraints on his body, then ran to help the other players get out.

"This is..." Kister looked at the moving mermaid rock behind him with a puzzled look.

"These are some of my friends... I have some impolite requests..." Zhang Chunliang then remembered that he had a group of little followers and suddenly felt a headache.

Although he knew that Xiaoai was a free island, the mermaids regarded it as their home and reproduced here. To some extent, he had to gain their recognition before he could lead the players into the island.

"It's Shaofan..." Kenshahua "walked" out from the path separated by the mermaids.

It is not appropriate to say that it "walked" because it still only has a head and must rely on the help of its tribesmen to move.

"Shao Fan and his companions helped us resist the invasion of monsters. They are also distinguished guests of the mermaid tribe." Kenshahua smiled, "We welcome their arrival very much."

Kister frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Kenshahua: "Kister, are you afraid?"

A strange smile appeared on Kister's ferocious face: "Afraid? Why should I be afraid——"

Ken Shahua: "You are afraid of them, these 'outsiders'. You have been observing them these days, and you found that we made a terrible mistake..."

"I can't make a mistake." Kister interrupted Kenshahua rudely and said firmly and decisively, "I'm not afraid either!"

The two greatest leaders of the mermaid tribe had a strange dispute on this dilapidated ship. The other members of the tribe dared not make a sound and just watched them helplessly.

"Do you think... this ship is a little strange?" Wang Shaofan was almost suffocated by the water. He finally caught his breath and spoke weakly.

Kister's chest rose and fell rapidly. He glanced at his wife coldly, then turned and asked, "What's so strange? We have cleared all the monsters on this ship. There is no danger."

"No... I felt it too..." A player added quietly, "The boat is moving - it's drifting towards that place."

The mermaids looked around in surprise, then they realized that what they said was true.

The Siren, which had long lost its power unit, was now sailing in one direction on its own.

Soon, on the bare sea level, an endless expanse of dark green undulations appeared.

As the Siren speeded up, the dark green undulations revealed their majestic true appearance.

"Island!! It's an island!"

It was an "island" that didn't look like an island, because it was extremely wide. As far as the eye could see, one could not see the border of the island, but only towering mountains, golden beaches on the seashore, rugged cliffs, and endless green shade.

Zhang Chunliang leaned against the side of the boat and looked down. He found that the lower hull of the Siren was not completely submerged in water. The boat seemed to be lifted forward by something.

In the huge white waves, he could vaguely see a bare, slippery black skin.

——The whale, which was even bigger than the Siren, did not leave. It used its back to drive the cruise ship and rushed towards the island at a high speed.

The mermaids' voices were choked with sobs and anticipation.

They kept calling out to the island, just like they were calling out to the father and mother goddesses who fed and nurtured them.

"The island—our island—"

The background of this copy is similar to the West in Zhang Chunliang's world, and the language is also similar to most of his world. In other words, there is basically no big difference in the language among the game copies he entered.

Even if there are slight differences, the system will automatically convert them into a language that can be recognized by players.

Therefore, in everyone's ears, this group of mermaids were calling the distant island earnestly and affectionately.

They call it -

Iceland

Ailante.

Zhang Chunliang bathed in the sea breeze and gently spelled the name on the railing with his fingers.

"Xiao Ai, Alante, I know who you are." He grabbed a tender green vine that was secretly sticking out from the railing and shook it gently, "Has the flower on your face bloomed?"

maybe.

Ailante was no longer busy caring about the flowers. He heard the little human in front of him calling his name. The name, which he had long heard boring and irritating, sounded so sweet in his mouth that it felt so weak that the entire island was shaking.

——If Zhang Chunliang could see the full picture of the Siren, he would probably be shocked.

The blue and white outer wall of the Siren was covered with dense vines. Those vines were deeply rooted in the hard alloy steel skin of the hull and were swimming slowly like pythons.

Ailante is an island that does not understand romance, but it suddenly wanted to call Zhang Chunliang's name urgently, just like he called itself.

Thus, every vine on the boat, every aquatic plant under the water, every breeze on the island, and every river responded to its expectations and carefully twisted out the three words "Zhang Chunliang".

If you look at it from a God's perspective, this scene might seem a little scary, even absurdly terrifying.

But Ailant didn't understand anything, it just wanted to call his name.
