There seems to be something wrong with his mermaid

Yu Zhao is very familiar with the imperial palace. With his former status, he would often enter and leave the imperial palace due to various things, not to mention that there are more complicated factors besides his status as a military officer.

So in another way, he may be more familiar with the palace than his own home.

And because of this, when Yu Huanglin led him towards the rose garden, he could see the other party's intention almost immediately.

But since he proposed to let Yu Huanglin lead the way, he couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he could only follow him forward, wanting to see what this guy was going to do.

The two walked through the palace to the garden, and the garden was indeed full of delicate and beautiful roses. Yu Huanglin walked behind Yu Zhao, his eyes were fixed on him, looking at Yu Zhao against the background of the fiery roses, those The slightly sharp outline seemed to have softened accordingly.

Yu Huanglin remained silent, with a slight smile on his lips.

Yu Zhao glanced lightly at the sea of ​​roses, feeling incomprehensible for his behavior: "Do you think the person we are looking for will come here?"

In his opinion, even if Shen Chen and the others are trapped in this palace, they must be trying to avoid the sight of the pursuers and leave here. This place is too close to the center of the palace, and there are many patrol teams under heavy security. , if there is no special reason, they should not come to this kind of place.

Of course, this is just Yu Zhao's opinion.

Because when he said this, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be some strange voice sounding from the rose bushes beside him. Yu Zhao and Yu Huanglin looked at each other solemnly for a moment, and they held hands and retreated in tacit understanding, but they didn't expect that there was something in the gap between the rose bushes. Slowly poked his head out.

Yu Zhao: "..."

His reaction was because he had already recognized who the head protruding from the grass was.

He was silent for a moment, but he didn't take the initiative to call out the person's name, but turned his gaze to Yu Huanglin, waiting for the other person to speak first.Yu Huanglin also paused for a moment. After seeing the people in the flowers, he immediately leaned over and pulled Yu Zhao closer. After making sure that there was no one around, he asked softly, "Instructor Shen Chen?"

Yu Huanglin is not like Yu Zhao who is very familiar with Shen Chen. He was only temporarily ordered to save people, and his understanding of Shen Chen is probably limited to the pictures and information on the military materials. Things like photos are unavoidable with real people. There is a difference, so Yu Zhao can recognize Shen Chen at a glance

, but Yu Huanglin had to spend some effort to respond and confirm.

Compared with the unknown Shen Chen, Yu Huanglin's popularity in the military department in the past two years is obviously much higher, because there is no difference between his appearance in the Heaven's Punishment System and his real life, and Shen Chen recognized him almost immediately. Looking at Yu Huanglin: "Lieutenant General Yu Huanglin, you are..." He exhaled, as if he was struggling to breathe slowly, and then he slowly uttered a complete sentence: "Are you here to find me? It's from the military department." instruction?"

Yu Huanglin carefully confirmed Shen Chen's state, because Shen Chen was still lying in the rose bush, surrounded by the fragrance of flowers beside him, there seemed to be something hidden inside.Yu Huanglin was sure that nothing happened to Shen Chen, and his mental state was not bad, so he nodded, but couldn't help but look at the rose bush next to him, and asked in a low voice: "Coach Shen Chen, what happened? Is there something behind you?"

Shen Chen was short of breath, and there was obvious cold sweat on his forehead. He also looked around, but before he could speak, he turned his gaze to Yu Zhao who was standing beside Yu Huanglin, holding hands with him.

He seemed to have suddenly noticed Yu Zhao's existence, noticed Yu Zhao's strange expression and eyes that seemed to be hiding something, he was stunned and realized that he had never seen this person in the military department before, so he seemed to have misunderstood something, Bluntly asked: "Are you also entangled by this thing?"

Yu Zhao raised his eyebrows, pointed to himself and said, "This thing?"

Yu Huanglin didn't say anything immediately, but there was a slight change in his expression, as if he was dissatisfied with the title of Shen Chen, but this emotion only existed for a moment, and then he eased his brows and eyes, and with a serious attempt to And explained with a gentle attitude: "You misunderstood, this person is also here to help us, if it wasn't for him, I might not have been able to find you."

Shen Chen never expected it to be like this, he was startled before saying: "Really?"

Yu Zhao looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile, but Yu Huanglin didn't seem to want Shen Chen to pay too much attention to Yu Zhao, he quickly asked: "What do you mean by 'also' just now?" ?”

Yu Zhao also noticed what Shen Chen said just now, he looked towards the flower bush on Shen Chen's right, and instinctively felt that there should be something there.

Shen Chen didn't immediately step aside, he looked extremely honest, and he was also an honest person in Yu Zhao's understanding, he would never fool people or play tricks, but today's reaction was really a bit abnormal, he looked at Yu Huanglin and Yu Zhao smiled wryly before slowly saying: "It's a long story,

Originally, we were only training in the battlefield of the ancient castle, but a student suddenly disappeared during the training. I took people to find the room of the ancient castle, and accidentally found a tunnel, so I thought..."

Hearing that Yu Zhao and Yu Huanglin had already figured out the whole situation, Yu Zhao asked, "Is the room you are talking about at the end of the corridor on the third floor of the old castle?"

Shen Chen knew that the other party was able to find this place, so he must have thoroughly grasped the structure of the castle, so he was not surprised, he just nodded and said in a muffled voice: "That's right there."

Yu Huanglin also opened his mouth, but his tone was obviously different from that of Yu Zhao who was straightforward: "If the student that Instructor Shen is looking for is Zhou Mo, he seems to be separated from you temporarily because he went in the wrong direction on the battlefield. It was he who reported your disappearance to the military and sent someone to find you."

Shen Chen seemed relieved: "As long as he's fine, then I'm half relieved..."

Hearing his words, Yu Zhao immediately found out the key question: "So there is still half? Where did your group of students go?"

For Yu Zhao, Shen Chen was his adjutant in the past, and he was already used to the way of getting along with each other, so he didn't think too much when speaking out, and still kept the original habit of speaking to Shen Chen.However, for Shen Chen, the current Yu Zhao is completely unfamiliar. His words were suddenly interrupted by Yu Zhao. I don't know why the guy who has nothing to do with the military is always making trouble by the side.

It's a pity that Shen Chen's disgust didn't have the slightest effect, because Yu Huanglin's heart was full of Yu Zhao.

Before Shen Chen could say anything unkind to Yu Zhao, Yu Huanglin had already seen through his thoughts, and asked, "Where are the others?"

Yu Huanglin had already opened his mouth. Of course, Shen Chen didn't have time to pursue Yu Zhao's question. He withdrew his mind and continued: "Later we saw a strange person in the tunnel. Only then did someone conjecture that this place may be an easter egg left by the designer of Heaven's Punishment on the battlefield of the castle, but..."

He sighed and said helplessly when he said this: "How can there be an egg like this? I have never seen this kind of battlefield map. This battlefield is more difficult than all the training battlefields I have encountered before. Here it is. There are no player opponents, but all ncs here will attack us, and not only that, we must also obey the battlefield

According to the rules, we have no way to leave here without completing the battlefield missions, not even the possibility of forced exit, and while completing the battlefield missions, we must also abide by the rules and conditions of this battlefield. "

Yu Zhao and Yu Huanglin had already seen this condition when they first entered the battlefield, and Yu Zhao asked: "Do you have to hold hands with your companions?"

As he spoke, he raised the hand he was holding with Yu Huanglin.

Shen Chen looked at them, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment, for some reason, he felt that the appearance of these two people after holding hands was different from the others he saw.

This difference is probably reflected in the...atmosphere between the two?

Shen Chen didn't have time to think about it, Yu Huanglin slightly pursed the corner of his lower lip when Yu Zhao showed Shen Chen the hand they were holding, and calmly suppressed his smile, then asked again: "We also Like you, what would happen if you didn't hold hands?"

This question is obviously easy for Shen Chen to answer, Shen Chen said: "If you don't hold hands, you will disappear."

Yu Huanglin: "Disappear?"

Shen Chen nodded: "We were spotted several times by chasing soldiers on the way out of the castle, and sometimes we forgot to hold hands when we were in a hurry, and every time people who didn't hold hands would be sent away by the system, I don't care. I know where they were sent, but seeing you looking for them, and not seeing them, it seems that they were not sent out, and they should be locked up somewhere in this ancient castle battlefield."

This is not much different from Yu Zhao Yu Huanglin's guess, but there is still a problem. Yu Zhao looked at Shen Chen and asked: "So all your students failed the mission and were sent away? Then why are you still here?"

Shen Chen glanced at Yu Zhao. For some reason, he felt that Yu Zhao's tone was very familiar, but he couldn't be sure about it. He suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, shook his head and said, "Stay trapped in this battlefield with me. There are a total of ten students in the school. When they heard the system's request to hold hands, they immediately responded and found each other's companions, so..."

He coughed lightly and before continuing, Yu Zhao helped him complete the second half of the sentence: "So you are extra."

Shen Chen: "..."

He choked, shook his head and said: "When we were sent to this battlefield of the ancient castle, it happened to be in the underground center of the ancient castle. When I knew that the condition for customs clearance was to hold hands, I also panicked. , At that time, I didn't have time to think too much, so I just picked up a handful, and I didn't expect..."

When he said this, he finally raised his left arm, which had not moved a moment ago.

Hand, and pulled out the person who was holding hands with him.

That person had been hidden among the rose bushes just now, and for some reason he had never made a sound, but now that he was pulled out by Shen Chen, the eyes of Yu Zhao and Yu Huanglin also fell on him.

Shen Chen coughed twice: "Wait, don't stare at him!"

It's a pity that no one listened to him, no matter whether it was Yu Zhao or Yu Huanglin, they were all very curious about this man with an inexplicable background, and their eyes were fixed on him.

However, when Shen Chen finally pulled the person out, Yu Zhao and Yu Huanglin finally understood why Shen Chen said that exhortation just now.

Because that person is really too dazzling.

It is not "dazzling" as a description, but "dazzling" in the literal sense. To be precise, it should not be a human but a mermaid. Even though he has legs, his outline is clearly slender like a mermaid. The clothes are also in the style of a mermaid, and the thin white gauze covers his figure, making his outline charming and moving. His whole body is shrouded in a beautiful halo, and every aspect of his body seems to be perfect.

If it was not long ago, Yu Zhao would not have been able to tell that it was a mermaid, but he had just seen a mermaid with legs in the depths of the secret room of the castle, and he was almost sure that this person was the one who just pulled the fish tail. A mermaid with legs, because he hasn't even been able to replace the mermaid-style long skirt that facilitates the movement of the fish's tail.

However, no one could clearly see the facial features of this mermaid.

His facial features seemed to be covered by some kind of golden halo. Yu Zhao and Yu Huanglin were dazzled by the light without any precaution just now, and after their vision gradually recovered after getting familiar with the light, they looked at the mermaid again. They went, but they found that they still couldn't see the mermaid's face clearly.

No matter what angle they looked at, that ray of light forever blocked their sight.

Yu Zhao: "..."

So the designer didn't intend for people to see the mermaid's face at all.

Although he has no clue for the time being, Yu Zhao will recall the purpose of clearing the level given by the system when he first came to this battlefield. He feels that the mermaid whose face is covered by light and cannot be seen clearly should be the target of their mission.

All they had to do was send the mermaid out of the castle while holding hands.

The surroundings suddenly seemed to quiet down.

The mermaid didn't make a sound, he seemed to be unresponsive, whether it was when they were talking just now, or the way Yu Zhao and Yu Huanglin were sizing him up now, he didn't hesitate.

It didn't give any response, it seemed like it was just a puppet that was led by others and could only move instinctively.

Yu Zhao was able to recognize the mermaid and thought of the goal of clearing the castle battlefield, and Yu Huanglin could of course also think of it. The two exchanged glances and talked in a low voice. Yu Zhaocai murmured again: "So we now We have to find a way to take this guy out, but what is this guy? The designer of Heaven’s Punishment hid such a deep easter egg, just want us to take out a mermaid whose face can’t be seen clearly?"

Why bring out this old castle?And this ancient castle is so like the imperial palace of the empire, what does it represent?

He looked at it thoughtfully, and suddenly said in a low voice: "If this mermaid really existed, then he should have something to do with the battlefield designer of Heaven's Punishment?"

Shen Chen understood something when he heard this, but he still couldn't figure it out, and said confusedly: "But if it really matters, why didn't the designer even design his face? Or is it that he can't remember the name of the mermaid?" Face?"

Yu Zhao shook his head and also didn't understand. Yu Huanglin looked at the glittering mermaid, but suddenly said softly: "I don't think it's difficult for me to understand this matter."
