Let me live [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 14 Poseidon's Hunting

----

After an unknown amount of time, Lu You woke up again.The wound on the back of his head was throbbing, and his shoulders and back seemed to be injured as well. He suppressed a groan in his throat, and did not open his eyes immediately.The surrounding was very quiet, and Lu You called out inwardly: "System?"

The system is not responding.When it was repeated for the third time, Lu You understood: he had already entered the plot.

He exhaled lightly and slowly, suppressing the fear that subconsciously surged up in his heart, and secretly opened his eyes a crack.There was no light, it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.Lu You tried hard to distinguish for a long time, but he couldn't figure out whether he was completely blind after the "sequelae" worsened, or whether this place was cut off from light and was already dark.The latter guess gave him a bad premonition: when the drop target died, it was in a dark space...

Lu You got up carefully from the ground, always paying attention to the movement around him.The ground his hands touched felt hard and smooth, very cold, and wet, as if it had just been washed by water.Lu You smelled a familiar salty smell, the fishy smell of aquatic creatures with scales, and he twirled his wet fingers, feeling a little astringent.

It's seawater...

Lu You suddenly thought of the kind of basement that would flood in at high tide and drown the people trapped inside.Although it was learned from the data that the target's death was not drowning, but was pierced through the chest cavity and dug out the heart, Lu You felt even worse.He thought of the long strip object that passed before his eyes at that time, and combined with the current environment, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that it might be the tentacles of some kind of sea monster.

Maybe right now, that monster is in the same room with him, quietly watching his movements under the cover of darkness...

Lu You was so frightened by his own imagination that his whole body was tense and his hair stood on end, as if he really felt the pressure of some kind of gaze on his body.He froze in the dark for a few minutes before he managed to recover, gritted his teeth, and was ready to touch something slippery and moving at any time, resisting his fear and groping along the ground.It didn't take long for him to touch the wall, which was also a stone that was polished without edges like the ground.

Lu You walked around the wall and determined that the confinement space was a rectangular room, less than twenty steps long and eleven steps wide. The height could not be determined. Anyway, he stretched his arms, stood on tiptoes, and tried to jump Jumped and still couldn't reach the top.Except for a little stagnant water and that fishy smell, this place is very clean. There are no shell growths, aquatic plant remains on the walls and the ground, no salt and alkali after the seawater evaporates, and no visible gaps. No monsters with tentacles.

...Maybe, the strange thing is on the ceiling that he can't touch.

The more afraid Lu You was, the more he wanted to look up, even though he couldn't see anything.He endured until his neck became stiff, and finally he didn't dare to raise his head, and didn't reach out to test it, but sat down against the wall and rolled himself into a ball.The solid feel behind and under him gave him a sense of security.After staring at the darkness without a gleam of light for a long time, it seems that I can vaguely see something, just like in the darkness after closing my eyes, sometimes I can see continuously shrinking or swimming spots of light.

Lu You almost thought of the reason why he fell into this situation.He should have repeated what happened to the target: he was attacked and transported to this place after being unconscious.The bruise on his body was not limited to the back of the head, and it seemed that he was thrown from the entrance and exit at the top of the room.The target may have been in a coma for a while, and after waking up, tried to find a way to escape in a panic for a while, until the "murderer" appeared and killed him here.

...That's why the system sets the launch time more than ten hours before the time of death, because that is the critical time to determine whether the fate can be reversed.Because of the sequelae of blurred eyesight, and because of his negligence, Lu You failed to prevent the attack from happening.He is almost certain now: he will die here, repeat the target's death, and then be deducted 100 points by the system, and load the file again.

Lu You smiled wryly in the dark.Although he knows that he can be resurrected after death, and he is currently in the novice protection period, even if he dies a few more times and the points are deducted into negatives, there will be no serious consequences.But the horror of death has never been in death itself, but in the unknown of the long torment before death really comes, and the pain to be experienced in the process.

Now that the matter has come to this point, he has no choice but to try to struggle for the last time. He really can't change the ending, and he has to work hard to collect more information to prepare for the second week.The goal of this mission is to "find the truth of death", so far, it seems that there are at least two parts: the person who attacked him in the room, and the "thing" that killed him in this space.Lu You tried hard not to think about the miserable death of the target that he had experienced indirectly. Although he usually has a soft personality and is not very courageous, he also has an advantage. He can hold on to things, or things that are so terrifying that he can't wait to pass out immediately.

Just like now, in order to have a chance of survival, he must also find a way to confirm the situation in the upper half of this space.After groping around on his body, Lu You had no choice but to take off his shirt, ready to hold the corner of the clothes and shake it upwards, so that he could "sweep" to a higher place.He was on vacation on the island in summer, and he only wore this thin and soft T-shirt. After taking it off, his warm skin directly came into contact with the cool and humid air, which immediately made him shiver.

Lu You pressed the clothes on the ground and rubbed them randomly for a while, soaked them with water, and shook them, thinking they were barely usable.Still starting from the wall, with his arms backward, he swung the clothes in his hand upwards with an awkward posture that seemed to be shooting a basketball or hitting a fly.

There was a crisp "snap", as if it hit the wall.But Lu You swung in the direction of the wall, and from the direction of the feedback force, it didn't seem like it was hitting a horizontal plane like the ceiling...

Just as an ominous feeling arose in Lu You's heart, a strong force suddenly came from his hand and directly tore the dress away from his hand.The pulling force came too abruptly, he couldn't let go in time, he was pulled forward and staggered a step, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to support the wall.One moment before, there was no abnormal smooth stone under his palm, and the next moment, his hand sank into it.

The wall softened... no, it wasn't the wall, something stuck to the wall broke the previous camouflage...

In this dark and narrow space, there were rustling sounds everywhere, like moving gravel rubbing against stones.Lu You tried hard to withdraw his hand, pushed it with the other hand, pushed the wall with his foot and pulled it back, but that hand was as if it had been eaten by a stone from the fingertips to the wrist. perception.Immediately afterwards, Lu You couldn't even push and kick: something like a living rope wrapped around his legs and arms, all the way to his shoulders.He felt a light prick on the side of his neck, and with a flash of pain, something cold flowed into his veins.

After just a few seconds, Lu You lost all strength and collapsed.The monster's movements were unexpectedly gentle. It pushed Lu You with what should be tentacles, and after the wall "spit out" his hand, it put him in a sitting position.It was attached to the wall, and Lu You leaned against it. It was soft, as if there were no bones in his body, and his back sank slightly as if it was about to be swallowed.

This monster made Lu You sit in its "embrace".

Its arms and legs, or organs similar to arms and legs... no less than six, are all on or wrapped around his body at this moment.

Lu You felt that his reaction mechanism might be broken, or that the prick it pierced him just now had other effects besides anesthesia. He didn't feel much fear now, although it was wrapped a little tight, making his arm I felt pain in my legs and legs, and because there was no clothing on my upper body, I could clearly feel that its body was cold and slippery, like an octopus, but there were no suction cups on its arms or feet. In other, more disgusting structures, the thinner tip is covered with small and dense scales, which become smoother as they go back.

An arm swam up along Lu You's body, and touched his face with the tip.The monster "swayed" behind him, and made a sound like the wind blowing through a thin pipe, which sounded like a wounded small animal.You are not suitable for acting like a baby at all, Lu You thought desperately, feeling that the other arms and legs of the monster were also moving, pressing and sliding on him, that kind of touch made Lu You tremble, and also loosened the original strict confinement, Lu You Barely moving his fingers, then his wrist, he grabbed the wrist that swam past the back of his hand and pushed it outward, trying to express his refusal.

"Let me go," he whispered, almost out of breath.What the monster had injected into him was supposed to be some kind of paralyzing venom, maybe a digestive juice that would melt the guts inside, but he wasn't in any pain right now.He didn't know how the target was able to struggle, scream, and run away. Now he has no strength at all, and he can't make a sound.The monster's movements were full of patience, and even seemed a little gentle. When Lu You pushed it, it obediently withdrew its arms and feet again and again, and then rewrapped them at a different angle, "stroking" his bare skin seamlessly, and Some of them reached into the trouser legs and wrapped around his calves.

Lu You trembled unconsciously, but the chemical substances flowing in his blood kept him calm.He began to feel that this monster didn't want to eat him... but something more excessive... more incredible...

"No," he murmured.

The monster's movements stopped suddenly.After a moment of silence, it whined softly twice, as if to express comfort, but those arms and legs changed their previous attitude, and began to contract and tighten forcefully.Lu You could hear his bones creaking under the heavy pressure, and he vaguely felt that the monster seemed to have changed its mind just now... what it was going to do...

Then Lu You felt the sting again.In the heart, one click, and it's over in an instant.

The arms and legs released him, his body slid down, and the warm liquid from his mouth wetted his lips.Lu You raised his hand in a daze to touch the left side of the chest cavity. He touched the liquid that crawled on the skin like a snake and quickly cooled down, and then the hollow that ran through the heart.

The long-lost system sound rang in my ears. "The host is confirmed dead. Deduct 100 points and prepare to restart. The selected time point is: when the delivery is completed." It began to count down without emotion, "Countdown, five, four..."

"The restart is complete. There are still twelve hours, 27 minutes and 33 seconds left before the target's death."

The moment Lu You opened his eyes, he rolled out of bed and rushed to the door of the room.He bumped into the corner of the table, and almost tripped himself halfway, but fortunately, he estimated the distance well in the end, and grasped the doorknob accurately in a state of being basically blind, and finished it with the fastest speed in his life. A series of actions of closing the door, locking it, grabbing the safety chain and hanging it on the hook.Then he turned around, leaning his back against the door, watching for other movements in the room, and listening carefully to the sound outside the door.

A few minutes later, he seemed to hear faint footsteps passing by outside, but he couldn't hear it again.After a while, the system's voice suddenly sounded from the other side of the room, startling Lu You: "Congratulations to the host for passing the first test. The attacker outside the door has left, and the host can relax. Follow-up information has been released." Open, do you want to check it immediately?"

"Wait a minute..." Lu You said with a wry smile. He touched the side of his neck where the monster had pierced it. Of course there is no wound there now.Thinking of the feeling of those tentacles sliding against the upper skin, his whole body felt strange, and under the guidance of the system, he groped into the bathroom attached to the room.It wasn't until the warm water gushing from the shower head washed over my body that the feeling of nausea and horror finally began to ease.

Lu You lowered his head, put his hands on the sliding door of the shower room, and gradually calmed down under the comfort of warm water.He wiped his wet hair away from his face, closed his eyes and summoned the system: "Okay... let's talk now."
