Infinity: Others play games with krypton gold, I play games with krypton life

"Ling, what happened?"

The queen held her temple, really having a headache because of the current situation.

Looking at William, whose nose was bleeding profusely, a bad thought flashed through Xiao Qianchuan's mind.

"Your Majesty, please answer my question first. Have you ever had a nosebleed?"

Seeing the queen shaking her head, Ling breathed a sigh of relief. He looked around and asked, "Anyone else who has experienced this symptom after boarding the ship, please stand up."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what had happened. Soon, several people stood up honestly.

Xiao Qianchuan looked at them one by one and felt more and more uneasy.

"I started having nosebleeds this morning. I didn't think much of it, but then I remembered that the first mate had the same problem the day before. So I asked him to find out how many people on the ship had experienced this symptom."

Looking at the few people, Ling's face was solemn, "Now it seems that there are more than what is reported. Therefore, before the cause of the disease is understood, I do not agree to return."

sick?

Everyone instantly fell into panic and moved away from the few people who stood up. Low, suppressed cries rose from the crowd.

The queen rubbed her forehead, looked at everyone and said solemnly, "I agree with Captain Ling's proposal. We cannot bring the plague back. Don't panic. The sea monster didn't kill us. It just caused a nosebleed. There will be a solution. Now we have to figure out the situation first."

The queen's words successfully calmed everyone down. Captain Ling got her approval and turned to ask those people.

"Tell me when you first had symptoms."

The two guards looked at each other, and one of them spoke first, "I suddenly started to have a nosebleed after the dinner yesterday."

"I am the same as him. During the dinner, the eldest prince asked us to stand guard outside the compartment where he was resting, to keep an eye on Charles... and the mermaid. We didn't eat or drink anything, and we didn't see anyone suspicious."

Captain Ling nodded and looked at the next person, the maid was crying.

"I am Master Green's maid. The night before yesterday, the master brought back a person. I didn't know it was a mermaid. The master locked it in the bathroom and wouldn't let me get close. He only let me clean outside. I was scared when I saw a lot of blood on the bed. The master said it was his nosebleed. I didn't believe it at first, but the next day at noon, I brought the meal back and had a nosebleed. I thought it was because the weather was too dry and didn't think much about it. What should I do? Sir Captain, can our disease be cured?"

Ling was about to speak to comfort her when he was interrupted by a loud shout.

"Sick? How could we be sick when I, the captain of the guards, Green, and the sailor were all infected? I thought so! How could the captain of the guards be so weak? He died before I could even do anything. Something must have gone wrong! Did someone poison us, or were we cursed, or did some damn guy use a prop?"

William wiped the blood sloppily, staining his hands red, and his incoherent speech made people wonder if madness was also one of his symptoms.

Hearing the other party admit that he had killed the captain of the guards, the guard who had just clamored to kill the mermaid for revenge angrily pulled out his gun.

"It's you. We brothers have been by your side through thick and thin. How can you just kill me?"

Seeing that this man was about to die with William, the guards stepped forward to stop him. They didn't care whether William lived or died, they couldn't lose any more brothers.

The commotion over there was suppressed by Captain Ling. The sailor player here raised his hand high, facing everyone's puzzled gazes, and spoke weakly.

"I...I'm probably the first person to show symptoms!"

Captain Ling recognized at a glance that he was the sailor who had returned alive from the fishing boat with the first mate.

"Tell me everything you know."

With so many players dead, Lanbo had long lost his backbone. He stayed away from the mad dog-like William and only spoke when he could.

"I... the night before last, the first mate asked a group of us sailors to take a fishing boat to the reef to do business. Um... to catch mermaids. The first mate said that mermaids are stupid..."

As he said this, he secretly glanced at the very powerful mermaid player, and seeing that the mermaid just lowered his head and didn't react, he felt relieved and continued stutteringly.

"Mermaids are simple and easy to deceive. We pretended to be drowning fishermen and succeeded easily. We caught a beautiful mermaid with a silver-white tail. I have never seen such a beautiful one..."

Everyone's eyes turned to the poor mermaid on the deck.

Captain Ling reminded with a gloomy expression, "Speak to the point."

"Yes, yes! The point is... the first mate's torture didn't make the mermaid cry out, but it attracted a group of mermaids. I guess the mermaid's blood stimulated them, and they came up to fight. There was also a big monster on the bottom of the sea, which directly sank the ship with its tentacles. The brothers... in the end, only the first mate and I were left. We grabbed a small boat and escaped. Unexpectedly, we picked up the injured mermaid on the way and brought it back to the captain of the guards."

Lanbo sniffed and felt there was a faint fragrance lingering in the air, so he said it out.

"When I was rowing on a small boat, I smelled a fragrance, and then my nose started bleeding. Later on the boat, I smelled it again, and my nose bled several times, each time more heavily, and it was difficult to stop the bleeding. I was afraid that if I ..."

"Wait! You said you smelled a scent? What scent?"
