Let me live [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 20 Poseidon's Prototype
----
According to Du Haiyang's current relationship with everyone, if he died in the room, he might not be discovered if he didn't show up for a whole day.But his body was found on the stairs.He was lying on his back, with his head and feet on his back, his body was in a struggling posture, and there was a lot of blood splashed around him.
After suffering from insomnia all night, Zhang Jialei, who woke up early today, became the first witness to the unlucky one.However, when she went down to the corner of the stairs, she found bloodstains on the ground, so she only caught a glimpse of the corpse from a distance, and then ran back upstairs in a hurry, just in time to meet Lu Yuhuan who had just left the house and was about to go to the kitchen for food.It was Lu Yuhuan who was a little bit more courageous, and mustered up the courage to approach the past to confirm the identity of the distorted corpse.In addition, he also found that not far from the body, there was a translucent "skin" that looked like a dead jellyfish.
Worried about "whether someone else will be killed in the room", the two of them knocked on other people's doors in fear, but fortunately they all got a response.Du Haiyang was the only one who died that night.
The grief that should have surged after the loss of a companion has changed a bit because this person is Du Haiyang.On the contrary, it was the corpse itself and the fact that "the dead appeared before the deadline" brought deeper horror.Lu You, who had seen the spectacular scene of the zombie tide, was somewhat resistant to the corpses. He tried his best to avoid the bloodstains all over the stairs, and walked around the side of Du Haiyang's body first to check the "skin" on the ground. ".After carefully touching it with the tip of his toe to confirm that it was not alive or corrosive, Lu You took the gloves used for cleaning in the tool room and put it on. Holding a corner of this "skin", he lifted it from the stairs The surface was peeled off.
When the soft body detached from the smooth surface, it made a sucking gurgling sound, and at the same time, an extremely strong fishy smell gushed out.Lu You held his breath and saw that there were several cracks in the center of the bottom of the thing, and there were small pointed things like teeth inside.It seemed that it had begun to rot quickly, and the edges of the cracks swelled and rolled, oozing gray mucus.
Lu You barely recognized the original body of the thing from the slightly melted shape, like a film whose edges were overstretched. "It's the starfish monster in the showroom!" He shouted to those who were huddled at the stairs and refused to come down.Resisting the weird greasy and resilient touch in his hand, Lu You turned the monster's corpse over and over several times, and found no signs of injury, "It seems to be dehydrated to death..."
He went to look at Du Haiyang's body again, and easily found the wounds that caused a lot of blood loss: one was on the chest, the other was on the flank, both were narrow and deep lacerations, which looked like the masterpiece of a monster's arms and legs.Du Haiyang struggled violently before he died, and the remaining expression on his face was not only horror, but also strong resentment, which made people feel chills when they saw it.
You can't just leave a dead body lying on the stairs.There is no need to think about keeping the evidence now. Several people started to act with different expressions. They used the plastic wrap brought from the kitchen to stick a few thick layers in the corner of the hall, and put the dead Du Haiyang and the starfish monster together. They all moved there, and then tried to wipe off the blood that had solidified on the stairs.From the side of the stairs to the hall, there is a stench of dead and rotten seafood and blood everywhere. Even with the pungent smell of disinfectant as a cover, the stench that symbolizes death still persists in people's nostrils drill.
It took less than half an hour to deal with this matter.Next, another topic will be discussed.
Du Haiyang's token.
Lu You has been observing everyone's expressions, and found that there are two people who seem a little abnormal: He Yi has not spoken much since he appeared in the morning, his expression is in a trance, and he looks preoccupied.Lu Yuhuan peeked at him several times, but stopped talking.After he did this a few times, the others seemed to be aware of it, but no one asked aloud, as if they were secretly competing in a game of "see who can't help it first".
Lu You silently squatted down beside Du Haiyang's body.He didn't take off his gloves after looking at the starfish monster, and now he touched the open wound on the corpse through the gloves.On the clothes that were torn together, there were traces of dried monster slime. "He was attacked by the starfish..." Lu You whispered, "Did anyone hear anything last night?"
Lu You himself didn't hear anything.Except for Zhang Jialei who said hesitantly that there seemed to be an impact, but she didn't dare to go out to check, everyone else expressed their denial.Lu Yuhuan was looking at He Yi again, showing a little struggling expression.Lu You remained calm, and then groped carefully on Du Haiyang's body, turned over the pockets, and pressed the edge of the sewn fabric... Finally, what he found were two toothpicks and a table knife that Du Haiyang had hidden on his body at some time. Two room keys and a pack of portable shampoo.That's all.
The shell token is not on Du Haiyang.
But... Lu You found something else.He gently pushed Du Haiyang's death-defying head to the side, revealing the bruises on the side of his neck that were particularly conspicuous against the bluish-white complexion.These are the finger marks left by pressing hard, which the monster's arms and legs can never make.Perhaps...it was also the reason why Du Haiyang was unable to call for help last night.
The movement of getting up made Lu You feel a little dizzy, and Ji Sen reached out to support him as if telepathically.The hand stayed on Lu You's waist for a while, and left without a sound before leaving a distinct touch.Lu You took off the plastic gloves stained with blood and unknown mucus, and let them fall beside the corpse. "Someone took his token," he said.
As soon as these words were uttered, the oppressive atmosphere hidden in the air seemed to condense into substance.Lu Yuhuan suddenly took a step away from He Yi, this action finally made all eyes including He Yi himself focus on him.Lu Yuhuan's face flushed a little. Whether he found himself in a life-threatening game, or when he encountered octopus monsters and starfish monsters, this young man with glasses who looked like a student had always maintained a relatively stable mood. , but now uncontrollably showing fear and panic.
"Do you know what?" Lu You looked at him and asked.
"It's He Yi..." Lu Yuhuan's lips twitched, "Last night, I saw He Yi..."
In the eyes of everyone, He Yi did not get angry or refute. He silently reached into his coat and took out a piece of white shell that looked very familiar. "Last night, I found this in the telescope tube on the viewing platform." He said calmly, looking straight into Lu Yuhuan's eyes, "What did you see?"
Lu Yuhuan seemed to be frightened by him, opened his mouth, closed it again, opened it again, and then said weakly as if being strangled: "I saw you coming from the corridor... when you entered the room, I took out a white thing and took a look. I saw it. It was a token..."
"I'm here, the token I found in the telescope tube on the viewing platform." He Yi repeated slowly, his face as expressionless as if frozen, "You didn't even see me killing Du Hai Hai, why are you in such a hurry to look like you're going to pee out of fright?"
Lu Yuhuan fell silent, his forehead began to ooze fine sweat, but the expression on his face gradually changed from panic to disbelief.Zhang Jialei hesitated for a while, and persuaded in a low voice: "He Yi, Xiao Huan is just scared and a little nervous...don't be angry with the child." She obviously prefers to trust any Yi, and it sounds like she is trying to smooth things over , actually rejected Lu Yuhuan's accusation.
But this seems to have stimulated Lu Yuhuan. "Look at what he took out!" He suddenly said loudly, "It's exactly the same as Du Haiyang's!"
He Yi's fingers were clenched on the edge of the shell, and his lips were pursed, but this time he did not immediately refute.Zhang Jialei stopped talking.If there was anything suspicious about He Yi, it wasn't the desire to kill Du Haiyang that he had shown several times before, nor the distrust of his character, but the shell itself.
"Hasn't Du Haiyang's token already been confirmed?" Lu You asked suddenly.
Although Ji Sen had explained the rules to him yesterday, since Ji Sen had no intention of showing the token to others, he had no choice but to pretend not to know.He Yi's eyes turned to him. "If the owner dies... or is willing to transfer, the ownership of the token can be transferred. This is the information I learned after I got the token." He whispered, "Now the owner of the token is me, but I need to prove It's not the one that belonged to Du Haiyang before, and I don't know what to do with it."
"So that's it." Lu You pretended to get the answer, "Du Haiyang probably didn't say it on purpose before. From the point of view of frankness, you are much better than that guy. Unfortunately, I can't prove it for you... …When we were chatting on the observation deck, you didn't mention finding the token."
"It was after that." He Yi said.
Lu Yuhuan quickly raised his eyes to look at Lu You, as if he was a little surprised by the "chat" he said.Lu You looked back, stared at him, and said meaningfully: "As for whether it is He Yi... The scene you saw is not evidence, it is best not to make a conclusion so quickly. There is no definite evidence to say Convict or exclude anyone, and each of us is a suspect."
He said slowly: "It may be Lu Yuhuan who first expressed suspiciousness to others..." The young man wearing glasses fell silent, "It may be Zhang Jialei who said that he heard the voice yesterday, and Du Haiyang is the most defenseless." The woman was a little He clenched his hands nervously, "It may be He Yi who is holding the same token as Du Haiyang." He Yi lowered his gaze, "It may be Ji Sen, who has a physical advantage and can easily suppress Du Haiyang's struggle. Ji Sen showed him a small smile inappropriately, "It may also be me who found this trace after actively checking the body." Finally, Lu You pointed at himself.
He stopped and waited for a while, seeing that no one was in a hurry to refute or clarify himself, and then continued: "But the identity of that person is not the key. Think about it—he has now obtained Du Haiyang's token, what will happen next?" He may kill again. On the contrary, he will be more active in helping others find tokens, thereby reducing his chances of being chosen as a sacrifice."
"So, the cooperative relationship between us has not changed, and there is no need to rush to suspect each other. The most important thing now is to find a way to find other tokens and escape the inevitable end. As for justice and truth, both can be postponed."
... That's what he said, but in Lu You's heart, he already had a favorite candidate.Because he felt that He Yi was not lying, after excluding Ji Sen who already had a token, only Zhang Jialei and Lu Yuhuan were left.Lu You is more suspicious of the latter, not because Zhang Jialei is a woman, but because Lu Yuhuan has given him bad feelings several times: when analyzing the rules at the beginning, he seemed unable to speak a few times, which frightened Zhang Jialei, and provoked him at dinner. Atmosphere, I just accused He Yi...
Moreover, if he can kill Du Haiyang, it is very likely that he was the one who attacked Lu You on the first day. Du Haiyang's performance before his death has always only attracted people's disgust rather than suspicion.
Lu You thought about what else was missing, and found that he had really overlooked one situation. "In order to prevent other people from having the idea of killing people and taking things," he added, "after you find the token, hide it secretly. If you find the second token, write down the location. We will gather before the deadline, and then Confess and communicate with each other about the tokens they have obtained.”
"So He Yi, now you are the only one who confirms that there is a token, so you must be careful." Lu You smiled at He Yi, "It's best not to trust anyone."
This is exactly what He Yi said to him last night.Just as He Yi was about to respond, Ji Sen stretched out his hand silently and grabbed Lu You's wrist.Lu You glanced back at this tall man with a normal expression in a daze, and when he turned back again, He Yi had already looked away.
No one objected to Lu You's statements and suggestions.They ate slices of bread and eggs in the refrigerator in the kitchen for breakfast in silence. Then, because Zhang Jialei raised the possibility that "Du Haiyang may not have brought the token with him", the five people who seemed to be at odds decided to search his room together. .It was Lu You who opened the door with the key found from the corpse. He took two steps inside and stopped moving.
Those who were blocked by him couldn't see what was going on in the room, and were immediately alert to his sudden stop. "Inside the room..." Zhang Jialei's voice was tense, "Is there something...?"
"...not the scary kind." Lu You stared at the things scattered on Du Haiyang's bed, and said with some embarrassment, "Well, you go ahead and take a look." He moved aside for Zhang Jialei, who was hesitant and dazed walked into the room, then stopped.A few seconds later, Lu You saw that the fair skin on the nape of her neck quickly burned red - she was so angry.
"I thought it was thrown into the sea by the wind!" She growled viciously in a low voice, "Pervert! Garbage! Disgusting scum—" She rushed to the bed and wrapped her into a ball The pale pink lace shorts were pulled out from under the blanket, then froze at the disgust of holding something that had somehow been used.The few men who followed in turned their eyes away after learning about the situation, and an extremely awkward atmosphere filled the room.In order to pretend to turn a blind eye and concentrate on searching, Lu You opened the drawer of the desk next to him - then, he saw a bunch of photos stuffed in the drawer.
Du Haiyang has a Polaroid camera, because this form of photography is more fun, Zhang Jialei asked him to take a lot of photos at the beginning of the trip, but later Du Haiyang said that he ran out of photo paper, and he never took out the camera to use it.Now it seems...he didn't just bring a little photo paper, and he didn't just take the few photos that Zhang Jialei agreed to.
Lu You took out all the photos from the drawer.Zhang Jialei walking by the beach in a swimsuit, Zhang Jialei leaning on the balcony blowing her hair, Zhang Jialei raising her hands in cheers towards the sun...all were taken after arriving on the island. The whole morning and morning, that is, the period before Zhang Jialei asked Lu You to eat coconuts.Luckily for Lu You, Polaroid cameras are not very suitable for sneaking photos, and there is no embarrassing content in the photos. It is only because the woman in the photo knows nothing about the photographer that it reveals a bit of disgust and obscenity .
Zhang Jialei was rummaging through Du Haiyang's closet. She was almost mad at the fact that her personal belongings were found in this room. Everyone else was trying to reduce their sense of existence.Lu You looked over the photos, and found himself and Ji Sen in the background by accident: one is Zhang Jialei applying sunscreen, not far away... At that time, it was not Lu You, but the target himself , standing on the beach looking at the water in a daze; one is Zhang Jialei with her hands on her knees, looking at the crabs on the ground, and Ji Sen is walking across the top of a higher reef in the distance.
Lu You looked at You Jisen's photo carefully, and always felt a strange feeling in his heart.After thinking for a while, there was no result, so he put this photo aside alone, and then sorted out the other photos as well.After a while, his movements suddenly slowed down.
The rock in the photo...
He went back to the photos he had seen and found the reef at a different angle in the other two.One of them seems to be fine, but the other...
There's something extra on the edge of the reef.
On the narrow Polaroid paper, the reef in the background is only slightly larger, and the extra thing is even smaller.The reason why it can be seen that it is "extra" is not the illusion caused by the angle problem-the illusion of any angle will make the edge of the rock protrude with a smooth arc, and the top bends softly towards the sea. According to In terms of proportions, the exposed part is about the thickness of a human arm?
Lu You almost pasted the photo to his eyes, barely distinguishing that the tentacle should be smooth all around, like a snake's tail, not an octopus with a small suction cup.He immediately thought of that thing... that monster with human nature that entangled him, stroked him, and finally killed him in a completely dark enclosed space...
...are they the same one?
Could it be Poseidon?
Lu You noticed something was wrong.If Seagod climbed onto the island from the edge of the reef where Ji Sen had walked before that morning, before anyone mentioned that he wanted to play the game, it means that the conjecture that "the summoning condition is to agree to the game" , because of the time difference does not hold.
So, the Sea God was summoned...what the hell is it?
Lu You began to recall the information on the brochure.Sacrifice...the way to let the sea god descend...the game...the person randomly selected becomes the sea god...
At this moment, a warm and firm body approached Lu You's back, interrupting his thoughts. "What are you looking at?" Ji Sen's voice asked above him.
"The collection of perverted voyeurs." Lu You said calmly, put down the photo in his hand, and let it mix into the pile of photos.He glanced at Zhang Jialei, and found that her mood had finally stabilized. She stuffed the stolen underwear she found into the trash can, and began to search for tokens seriously.Lu You turned his head and wanted to talk to Ji Sen. From the angle of his gaze, he could just look in obliquely from the neckline where Ji Sen was not close to his body, and see the collarbone until the small piece of skin close to the shoulder.
Although Ji Sen quickly turned to face him, once the angle changed, the piece of skin was no longer visible.But in less than a second, Lu You saw that there were fine lines like patterns on the outside of Ji Sen's collarbone, like black tattoos hidden under his clothes.At the same time, probably because Du Haiyang's room was closer to the sea, he seemed to smell the subtle, wet smell of marine life again.
The inspiration that was interrupted just now suddenly returns, and it becomes more complete and detailed.A ridiculous guess arose in Lu You's mind.
Because of this, his thinking and movements paused for a while, then he raised his head and stared into Ji Sen's dark eyes.These eyes always reminded him of the sea under the night sky.That's a sea of monsters hiding beneath the calm surface.Ji Sen's lips were slightly opened with a slit, which reminded Lu You of his blood smeared on his lips, the tip of his tongue poking into the wound, and the momentary numbness like being injected with venom.
——In the game, a person will be selected first to become the sea god
"...Come and help me find it together." In the end, Lu You just said this in a dreamlike tone.Ji Sen looked at him with gentle eyes, as if he was looking at something that would belong to him.
He nodded.
According to Du Haiyang's current relationship with everyone, if he died in the room, he might not be discovered if he didn't show up for a whole day.But his body was found on the stairs.He was lying on his back, with his head and feet on his back, his body was in a struggling posture, and there was a lot of blood splashed around him.

Du Haiyang has a Polaroid camera, because this form of photography is more fun, Zhang Jialei asked him to take a lot of photos at the beginning of the trip, but later Du Haiyang said that he ran out of photo paper, and he never took out the camera to use it.Now it seems...he didn't just bring a little photo paper, and he didn't just take the few photos that Zhang Jialei agreed to.
Lu You took out all the photos from the drawer.Zhang Jialei walking by the beach in a swimsuit, Zhang Jialei leaning on the balcony blowing her hair, Zhang Jialei raising her hands in cheers towards the sun...all were taken after arriving on the island. The whole morning and morning, that is, the period before Zhang Jialei asked Lu You to eat coconuts.Luckily for Lu You, Polaroid cameras are not very suitable for sneaking photos, and there is no embarrassing content in the photos. It is only because the woman in the photo knows nothing about the photographer that it reveals a bit of disgust and obscenity .
Zhang Jialei was rummaging through Du Haiyang's closet. She was almost mad at the fact that her personal belongings were found in this room. Everyone else was trying to reduce their sense of existence.Lu You looked over the photos, and found himself and Ji Sen in the background by accident: one is Zhang Jialei applying sunscreen, not far away... At that time, it was not Lu You, but the target himself , standing on the beach looking at the water in a daze; one is Zhang Jialei with her hands on her knees, looking at the crabs on the ground, and Ji Sen is walking across the top of a higher reef in the distance.
Lu You looked at You Jisen's photo carefully, and always felt a strange feeling in his heart.After thinking for a while, there was no result, so he put this photo aside alone, and then sorted out the other photos as well.After a while, his movements suddenly slowed down.
The rock in the photo...
He went back to the photos he had seen and found the reef at a different angle in the other two.One of them seems to be fine, but the other...
There's something extra on the edge of the reef.
On the narrow Polaroid paper, the reef in the background is only slightly larger, and the extra thing is even smaller.The reason why it can be seen that it is "extra" is not the illusion caused by the angle problem-the illusion of any angle will make the edge of the rock protrude with a smooth arc, and the top bends softly towards the sea. According to In terms of proportions, the exposed part is about the thickness of a human arm?
Lu You almost pasted the photo to his eyes, barely distinguishing that the tentacle should be smooth all around, like a snake's tail, not an octopus with a small suction cup.He immediately thought of that thing... that monster with human nature that entangled him, stroked him, and finally killed him in a completely dark enclosed space...
...are they the same one?
Could it be Poseidon?
Lu You noticed something was wrong.If Seagod climbed onto the island from the edge of the reef where Ji Sen had walked before that morning, before anyone mentioned that he wanted to play the game, it means that the conjecture that "the summoning condition is to agree to the game" , because of the time difference does not hold.
So, the Sea God was summoned...what the hell is it?
Lu You began to recall the information on the brochure.Sacrifice...the way to let the sea god descend...the game...the person randomly selected becomes the sea god...
At this moment, a warm and firm body approached Lu You's back, interrupting his thoughts. "What are you looking at?" Ji Sen's voice asked above him.
"The collection of perverted voyeurs." Lu You said calmly, put down the photo in his hand, and let it mix into the pile of photos.He glanced at Zhang Jialei, and found that her mood had finally stabilized. She stuffed the stolen underwear she found into the trash can, and began to search for tokens seriously.Lu You turned his head and wanted to talk to Ji Sen. From the angle of his gaze, he could just look in obliquely from the neckline where Ji Sen was not close to his body, and see the collarbone until the small piece of skin close to the shoulder.
Although Ji Sen quickly turned to face him, once the angle changed, the piece of skin was no longer visible.But in less than a second, Lu You saw that there were fine lines like patterns on the outside of Ji Sen's collarbone, like black tattoos hidden under his clothes.At the same time, probably because Du Haiyang's room was closer to the sea, he seemed to smell the subtle, wet smell of marine life again.
The inspiration that was interrupted just now suddenly returns, and it becomes more complete and detailed.A ridiculous guess arose in Lu You's mind.
Because of this, his thinking and movements paused for a while, then he raised his head and stared into Ji Sen's dark eyes.These eyes always reminded him of the sea under the night sky.That's a sea of monsters hiding beneath the calm surface.Ji Sen's lips were slightly opened with a slit, which reminded Lu You of his blood smeared on his lips, the tip of his tongue poking into the wound, and the momentary numbness like being injected with venom.
——In the game, a person will be selected first to become the sea god
"...Come and help me find it together." In the end, Lu You just said this in a dreamlike tone.Ji Sen looked at him with gentle eyes, as if he was looking at something that would belong to him.
He nodded.
