There seems to be something wrong with his mermaid

Shen Chen was stunned, holding hands for the whole journey, he was too shadowed by the punishment after letting go, almost immediately raised his hand to bring the mermaid back: "Hey..."

But the mermaid didn't seem to hear his words at all, and just walked forward, until a figure suddenly appeared not far in front.

That figure appeared out of thin air, which was not a special situation in the Heaven's Punishment Platform, as long as anyone has the coordinates, anyone can teleport to any place at any time.But here is different, here is among the Easter eggs of the designer of Heaven's Punishment, if there is no trigger Easter egg, it is not so easy to enter this battlefield.

Yu Zhao soon discovered that this figure should not be a user of the Heaven's Punishment Platform. If you really want to talk about it, it seems to be more like some kind of data left by someone here, but it is not just made for missions like the mermaid. The NC is more like a projection of a character that will only be seen after the mission is cleared.

Unlike the shining mermaid, Yu Zhao and others can see his appearance clearly.

The man was wearing a very simple white shirt, heavy glasses, messy hair and a beard all over his face. It seemed that he hadn't taken care of it for a long time. His whole body was gloomy and decadent. Even from a distance, he could feel his low pressure. However, when facing the mermaid running towards him, his eyes were full of sorrow and joy, and the pain and regret he endured were all written in it.

Mermaids are not living things, they are just NCs made up of data, but that person is different. Yu Zhao can sense the emotion in that person's eyes, and even be vaguely affected by that person's emotion, that kind of feeling that seems to be gradually settling in a storm. , as if hysterical but could no longer stir up the slightest bit of dust.

At this moment, Yu Zhao seemed to understand.

He stared at the other party and said in a low voice, "Are you the designer of Heaven's Punishment?"

Yu Huanglin's expression was clear, and there was no change when he heard Yu Zhao's words. He should have had the same guess as him a long time ago.

But Shen Chen suddenly raised his head at this moment. He remembered what Yu Huanglin said not long ago, curled up his fingertips and looked a little panicked and guilty. After all, if they guessed correctly, this person should be lovers with that mermaid In the process of escaping just now, he led the mermaid all the way. If the other party pursued it, he might not even think about getting out of the egg in this life.

Fortunately, the designer is still immersed in the fact that the mermaid was rescued, so he has no time to pay attention to Shen Chen. He watched the mermaid jump at him

Coming over, he raised his hand jerky and hugged the mermaid into his arms, bowed his head and hugged him softly for a while in silence, finally heaved a faint sigh.

With his sigh, the figure of the mermaid in his arms gradually disappeared. The man reluctantly raised his hand to caress the mermaid's cheek, and finally watched him turn into a spot of light and completely disappear, as if Watching the shards of a dream come to nothing.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, no matter whether it was Yu Zhao or Yu Huanglin, no one made a sound to disturb that person.

It was not until a long time later that the man finally looked at the empty embrace, lowered his hands in a slump, raised his eyes as if he had noticed Yu Zhao and the others, and said, "You guys have completed the task."

The scene just now was still in front of him, but when he turned around, the designer of Heaven's Punishment looked at Yu Zhao and the others again, but there was no emotion in his eyes. He lightly raised his glasses, as if the scene just now had never happened , he calmly came in front of the three of them, looked at their dirty appearance, and fell silent again.

Yu Zhao responded: "Yes, we have completed the task, so can you release our people now and let us leave?"

The designer of Heaven's Punishment did not answer his question immediately, but just said in a low and deep voice: "32 years."

Yu Zhao was a little sensitive to this number, he looked sideways at Yu Huanglin, but Yu Huanglin listened intently, but didn't seem to notice anything.

The deep voice of the designer of Heaven's Punishment turned into a soft whisper again, and he said: "He was captured and imprisoned in the palace more than 30 years ago. I spent a long time investigating, and finally made a plan to sneak into the palace and take him Take it away, but my plan was originally smooth, but the last step was missing."

Hearing this, Shen Chen seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "Is it in the corridor outside the garden?"

Yu Zhao turned his head and glanced at Shen Chen, and instantly remembered what he was talking about. There was a very hidden checkpoint outside the rose garden. Yu Zhao used to be a general of the empire, so he knew how heavily guarded that place was, but This is the garrison with the highest authority in the entire empire, and few people in the entire empire know this secret, so it should not be easy for the designer of Heaven's Punishment to find out.

When Yu Zhao learned about the defensive measures here many years ago, he didn't understand why His Majesty the Emperor designed such a defense here, but now he has a vague guess.

Most likely it has something to do with the man in front of him and his mermaid.

The designer of Heaven's Punishment was also looking at Shen Chen, he nodded and said in a cold voice:

"Yes."

Shen Chen smiled wryly: "I guessed it. At first I took the students to make a plan, and I also planned to go out from there, because it seemed that the defense of the entire castle was the weakest. But when I got there, I realized that we had already We were tricked, and others deliberately showed us their flaws and waited for us to go in. Although we escaped later, many people were caught on the way. Several students were caught trying to save others, and some People lose their mission qualifications because they let go of their hands, because there is a palace wall on the way we escape, and we have to let go to jump up and leave from there.

The designer of Heaven's Punishment listened to Shen Chen's words, and said coldly for a long while: "Yes."

He was short of breath, and it was clear that he still hadn't finished the second half of the sentence, so Shen Chen instinctively stopped his voice, and looked at him hesitantly.

After a while he went on to say: "Because of this, I couldn't bring him back. At that time, I made the same choice as you. I let go of his hand and wanted to go up the wall first and then pull him over. , but because of letting go at that moment, I lost him..."

He tightened his fists hanging by his side, the emotion in his eyes gradually rose and disappeared, and finally he just looked fixedly at Shen Chen: "But you didn't let go."

Shen Chen's back was sweating from his gaze, nodded and said in a low voice: "Because of the mission conditions you set, I watched other people disappear after letting go. The mermaid took him away, and I took him to hide in the garden, and then I waited until they came to rescue me." When he said this, he turned his gaze to Yu Zhao and Yu Huanglin.

The designer of Heaven's Punishment also cast his gaze on the past: "You hid in the sewage and left."

Yu Zhao said: "Although this method is not good, but at least it works." But even so, he is still not very satisfied with his current appearance, frowning, he only hopes that he can leave here as soon as possible after rescuing someone, and get rid of it. The stinking clothes stained with sewage.

The designer of Heaven's Punishment said with an ugly face: "I'm not satisfied with the result, you've made him dirty."

Yu Zhao smiled, but before he opened his mouth, he heard Yu Huanglin behind him say for him: "But we rescued the mermaid, which is considered a success, after all, there are no more rules in the customs clearance conditions you set. gone."

The designer of Heaven's Punishment looked at them sullenly.

Yu Zhao went on to say: "Your previous method was originally wrong.

The mistake is that you have regarded this mermaid as a burden from beginning to end. In your opinion, taking the mermaid away is making it more difficult for people to leave this castle. You must hold the mermaid's hand because he has no other way Leaving you, you think that as long as he leaves, he will get lost with you, and your plan seems to be to take care of the mermaid, but in fact you never thought about it, you are two people.No matter what happens, two people together should be able to do more than one, don't you think? "

Listening to what they said, Yu Huanglin added in a timely manner: "Just like what we did just now, we can take the mermaid through the defense on the ground, but the mermaid can also take us smoothly through the underground waterway to swim out of ancient times. Fort."

Yu Zhao didn't continue, because what Yu Huanglin added was enough.

He quietly waited for the reply from the designer of Heaven's Punishment, but the other party seemed to be stunned. He stood there like a stone statue without emotion. After a long time, he finally covered his face and let out a muffled laugh from his throat.

His laughter changed from intermittent to continuous ups and downs, then hoarse as if breathless and finally stopped, he raised his head and looked at Yu Zhao and the others with red eyes, his fingertips pinching his cheeks seemed to sink into the flesh, It was a while before he finally stopped.

The madness and sharpness have gradually dissipated from his eyes. He lowered his hands again and looked at Yu Zhao and the others. There were only a few burning ashes in his eyes. He responded softly in a hoarse voice: "You said You're right, you're right."

"For 32 years, I think every day, if I could have come up with a better plan in a different way, would I have been able to rescue him? If I hadn't let go of his hand, would I not have This is the result."

"Afterwards, I thought of countless ways. I designed this battlefield, completely simulated the situation at that time, calculated and tried to rescue him, but every method couldn't be done. I was always one step closer, never. I can't take him out of this damned palace, I even sent many people here to test, but it didn't work, only you..." He almost gritted his teeth, "You did it."

Although the method used is a bit embarrassing.

The God's Punishment designer was obviously dissatisfied with such a result, but he had to admit that this was indeed the best answer he had seen so far.

Yu Zhao couldn't understand the mood of the designer of Heaven's Punishment, and he was more concerned about other things: "We have completed the task, so can you let our people go and let us leave here? "

The designer of Heaven's Punishment didn't look very good-looking, but he didn't embarrass them. He nodded and said, "You guys go, you can go back by teleporting from there. I put the others back when you cleared the level."

He turned and pointed to one side, Yu Zhao and the others looked over, only to find that there was an extra teleportation device in the distance.

Yu Zhao patted Shen Chen on the shoulder, pulled him up, turned around and said to Yu Huanglin, "Let's go."

Finally able to leave here, for Shen Chen who has been trapped for such a long time, this is of course the best news, he quickly got up, looked back at Yu Huanglin, but when he turned his head, he realized that Yu Huanglin had actually He was also looking at him, to be precise, what Yu Huanglin was looking at should be his shoulder that Yu Zhao had just patted.

Shen Chen was startled: "Lieutenant General?"

Yu Huanglin looked away, and smiled gently: "Let's go."

The three came to the teleportation device. Yu Zhao was very familiar with the teleportation device that is often found in the Heaven's Punishment Battlefield. He set the teleportation position and activated the device with just a few fiddles. But when he was about to teleport away, he But he stopped suddenly, turned his head and raised his voice to the designer of Heaven's Punishment, "By the way, that mermaid, what happened to him afterwards?"

This question is actually what Shen Chen wanted to ask. He spent a lot of time holding hands with that mermaid before. Although he knew that it was just data, it could be regarded as sharing adversity, so he couldn't help but feel sorry for him. I am curious about the final result of the real mermaid.

Yu Huanglin couldn't see any emotion, but Yu Zhao asked, and he followed suit.

The designer of Heaven's Punishment turned his back to everyone, but he didn't feel as emotional as before when he heard this question, but said indifferently: "Dead."

Shen Chen opened his mouth, regret flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help shaking his head.

Yu Zhao stared at the designer of Heaven's Punishment thoughtfully, and also didn't ask any more questions.

To them, this rescue just happened, but in fact, this is a story more than 30 years ago. Even if they successfully rescued the mermaid this time, the past many years ago can no longer be rewritten.

The three stood on the teleportation device. After the teleportation device was activated, a faint halo began to cover the three of them. The device read the map data from other coordinates and began to transmit the consciousness of the three people out of this battlefield.

Before leaving, Yu Zhao looked forward through the turbulent flow of data, and the designer of Heaven's Punishment was still standing there with his back turned to him

them.Beside him, the gleaming mermaid once again condensed its figure. He had already recovered his clean and flawless appearance, and the gorgeous purple fish tail dragged out from the hem of his white mermaid robe. He was in the air, but as if Swimming freely as if in the water, sometimes turning around and swinging the fish tail happily, sometimes approaching the person and rubbing his forehead affectionately.

The designer of Heaven's Punishment raised his hand tremblingly to touch the opponent's face, but it seemed that his fingertips were burning, but he quickly withdrew his hand in an instant.

Don't dare to dream too much.
