nightmare exec

Gunshots rang out, the two tentacles were shattered, blue blood spattered, and fluorescence was everywhere.

Just got out of a life-threatening crisis, but Song Yin became more and more nervous.

Under his gaze, the tentacles flying all over the sky turned into countless little monsters with ring-shaped sharp teeth, and rainstorms fell from the sky.

Song Yin, who was hiding far away by the cabin door, would not be affected, but the handsome boy with protruding ears who turned out to be out of the sky was not so lucky—the chunks of meat rushed towards him with their teeth gaping, like a group of fine dentures. He would be chipped into a skeleton in a second.

Fortunately, the bloody scene didn't really happen.

A second arc of light flashed in midair, and a tall and thin man appeared in front of the young man.Those long-toothed pieces of flesh were about to hit them, the man pushed the young man down with one hand, and bent the other hand to protect the top of his head.

The next scene was miraculous—the man released a winding electric light from his wrist, and quickly extended a hemispherical shield.

All pieces of meat that touched this electronic barrier were burnt, and the air was filled with a strange smell of meat.

"...stay away from..."

There was a burst of noise in Song Yin's earphones, mixed with the reminder of the assistant officer Ergou: "Electromagnetic...interference...cheap goods...damp...be careful of electric shock..."

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Song Yin took two steps back to get rid of the electromagnetic interference, and suddenly there was another loud noise in his ears - a tentacle rushed out of the sea from under the right side of the ship and hit his face!

Song Yin quickly jumped back, barely avoiding this insidious sneak attack.But he didn't expect that the half-person-high small door behind him had been smashed by the fishing hook, and this retreat just happened to push the door open.

Caught off guard, Song Yin lost his balance and fell into the hole, making a loud "boom".

"How are you?"

The assistant officer in the headset sent condolences immediately, "Your heartbeat and breathing are very rapid, and your blood pressure is slightly high, but the system scans your bones and there is no abnormality."

"It's okay, I have high bone density."

Song Yin grinned and got up, and immediately covered her mouth and nose as soon as she opened her mouth: "What is so stinky?!"

It's hard to put into words what he smelled - as if a thousand Swedish stinky herring were rocking out, every air molecule soaked in the cold death metal scent.

"This is a freezer for quick freezing of fish. The temperature may be as low as -18°C." Ergou reminded him, "With your current equipment, you can carry it for less than half an hour."

"I didn't intend to stay that long either."

Song Yin took off the flashlight from his waist and began to survey the environment.

"That... I said before that there are bodies on this ship that are frozen in the freezer, so this is it?"

"No. There are two large and small refrigerated warehouses on the ship. The squid caught are first frozen in the small warehouse for several hours, and then transferred to the large warehouse deep in the cabin. The power was cut off when the ship was discovered, and the remains were centrally stored in the large warehouse. , where the temperature is the lowest."

At this point, there was another loud bang from above the head, the two iron doors were squeezed and deformed, and a huge tentacle came in.

"Ergou, as soon as I said withdraw, let me leave the instance immediately." Song Yin had an intuition that this time he was going to be doomed. He tore off the magic shoulder bag containing conch beads from his arm with one hand, and clenched the dagger with the other hand to prepare for defense.

In a blink of an eye, the tentacle was already in front of Song Yin, so close that he could even see the sucker wriggling clearly.

When there was no way to retreat, Song Yin decided to strike first.He chopped off the tip of the tentacles with a backhand, and raised his foot to crush the mutated fangs monster.

However, a strange thing happened again—the tentacles didn't change after they landed, but curled up into a ball and stiffened quickly.

With the glowing blue blood on the ground, Song Yin saw the remaining tentacle shake twice in mid-air, emitting a faint white smoke, and then slowly retracted to the deck.

"That guy is afraid of the cold?" Song Yin seemed to have discovered a new continent.

"You are also afraid of freezing." Ergou urged him, "Do you want to exit the instance now?"

"Wait a little longer." Song Yin put away the small beads again, and found the ladder fixed on the wall of the frozen warehouse, "Go up and have a look."

"That tentacle might just be waiting outside the door."

"Could you please notify the support staff and help me out? The little girl is still here."

While speaking, Song Yin had already climbed to the top of the frozen warehouse.The two half-person-high iron doors were in tatters, and the deck outside the door was in a mess, but it didn't look like there was any tentacles in ambush.

"After going out, go to the direction of the cabin door." Ergou reminded, "There is support."

Song Yin complied immediately.He climbed out of the freezer and ran for a few steps, and soon saw the door leading to the interior of the cabin—but there was no one in front of the door.

He was about to ask "Where is the support?" when he suddenly found a human face reflected on the porthole of the iron door—it was not himself, but a very cold and beautiful woman.

Mithril? !

When he remembered this name, the "beauty" in the window had already stretched out his hand, grabbed him firmly, and grabbed him into the porthole!

The process of passing through the porthole was too late to react. In short, when Song Yin came back to his senses, he had already crossed the ship and stood on the complete deck on the other side.

The person who dragged him over was Mithril, who was pressing the headset at the moment, talking to someone in a low voice.

After a close observation, Song Yin's first reaction was actually "the real person looks better than the one in the video".

A small quarrel came from behind. It was the young man who fell from the sky just now and the man who saved him. The focus of the conflict seemed to be "can we discharge casually in such a humid sea?"

After staring at them for a few seconds, Song Yin recalled that he had seen these two faces on the screen not long ago—the young man with protruding ears was a pika, and the man who knew how to use electricity was Zhen Zhe.They all belong to the same team.

"Yu Gutai?!!!" Song Yin yelled at Ergou, "Why didn't you tell me it was Yu Gutai?!"

The quarrel between the pika and Zhenzhe was interrupted, together with Mithril, they scanned Song Yin with their six eyes.

What Ergou answered is no longer important.Song Yin looked back at the three people in front of him, and then slowly made a smirk like a textbook.

"I have been famous for a long time... I have been famous for a long time." He reached out to the nearest Mithril, "I am Song... er, Morpho. Nice to meet you."

Mithril also stretched out his hand, but spread out his fingers, palm up: "Boss said that the dream master should be in your hands, please hand it over to me immediately."

Yu Gutai's "boss"... is Qi Zhengnan?

Song Yin immediately looked left and right, but didn't see anyone else.But the movement from the stern indicated that someone was holding the stowaway back.This is why the rest of the people can safely look at each other on this side of the cabin.

Song Yin didn't need to witness it with his own eyes, but he could guess who was silently supporting all of this.

But before it was time to recognize relatives, Song Yin immediately put his hand into his right arm pocket.

Perhaps aware of the fact that they were about to be handed over, the Conch Pearl kept trembling in Song Yin's palm.

The girl was obviously very nervous, but Song Yin knew that the ability of Mithril would definitely protect her.Compared with Mithril, he is just a cumbersome burden now.

Quickly clearing up her lemon mood, Song Yin stretched out her hand to Mithril.But just at this moment, there was a sudden roar of waves outside the ship's side, and the whole squid fishing boat was thrown high and hit the sea heavily!

Song Yin heard the mournful cries of a group of "giant whales"—that was the wailing of the squid fishing boat before it twisted and disintegrated.The sea water slapped by the hull scattered and splashed, and then fell from a high altitude, turning into a never-ending frantic rainstorm.

The ceremony of handing over the conch beads was interrupted.Song Yin had to give priority to finding a fixed point to stabilize his body.

At his current position, until just now, he could not see the situation at the stern clearly because of the cover of the cabin.However, at this moment, the meat mountain at the stern of the ship was clearly visible, and there were two tire-sized black balls embedded in the "mountain top".

Song Yin once saw the eyes of an octopus in the restaurant where he worked. Although the pupils were strange rectangles, it was just a weird sea creature.

But the eyes in the stern were different—almost human eyes.Without the cover of the eyelids, the sharpness, coldness and cruelty in these eyes are unreservedly exposed in the crimson light.

"Don't look!!" Ergou's warning sounded again in the headset, "You can't look directly into the sea monster's eyes!!"

It's a pity that it's too late——Song Yin only felt a sharp chill piercing from his eyes to his brain, and then spreading to all parts of his body.He lowered his head powerlessly, and the world suddenly changed color while the world was spinning!

The sound of Haitao continued, but the scene had quietly changed.Song Yin was shocked to find that she had returned to the first floor of the safe house, sitting on the lake-blue velvet sofa, unable to move.

In the darkness, the wind howled outside the window, and the rain overflowed the threshold and flowed wantonly.

On the wall in front of him, stood two black figures, who seemed to be cuddling each other, and seemed to be staring at Song Yin together.

Without warning, a great grief that did not belong to Song Yin pierced his heart like a sharp sword.The most obvious of these is grief, but also mixed with horror, guilt and regret...

Song Yin curled up in pain, he was suppressed by these terrible emotions and burst into tears, but at the same time he did not forget to whisper a few trash words.

He didn't know if it was the trash talk that drove away the sneakiness, but he suddenly found that his body could move again, and he heard the familiar voice of the assistant officer.

"Flash Butterfly? Morpho Butterfly!"

It was another hula-la moment, and the safe house and the figure all disappeared.

Song Yin was sure that he was back on the squid fishing boat, because the ground under his feet began to heave and shake again, accompanied by the violent sound of the waves and the bitter sea wind.

But the red squid fishing light disappeared, and the whole ship was shrouded in a vast black mist.

Song Yin touched her cheek, there was still liquid left there, whether it was tears or sea water.But the huge torrent of pain just now is over, just like having an extremely sad dream, and there is no trace left after waking up from the dream.

"What happened to me just now? What's going on now?" He lowered his voice and asked the assistant officer.

"Your mental strength is not strong enough. You lost your mind when facing a powerful stowaway ①." The assistant officer in the headset said solemnly, "However, the human brain has the function of stress regulation, and you seem to be gifted. faster than others."

Although he didn't quite understand what Ergou meant by "rationality", Song Yin also knew that the situation was not good.He stretched out his hand to feel for the Mithril that was close at hand just now, but he only found a void.

"Hello..." He lowered his voice and asked furtively, "Are those from Yugutai still there?!"

no answer.

The black fog became thicker and thicker, and Song Yin was hesitating whether to hold his breath, when Ergou's usual calm voice came from the earphone: "Don't hold your breath, the air is non-toxic."

"Didn't you say that I need to test whether it is poisonous or not?!" Song Yin asked back.

"I really can't test it, but I can contact Yu Gutai's captain assistant officer. It told me that someone in their team's communication channel said that the fog is non-toxic."

"Huh? Then quickly pull me into their team's channel!!"

"This requires the consent of the other party, and I will send the application immediately."

After Ergou finished replying, it didn't take long for a notification that the application was approved.

The earphones suddenly became lively, and it sounded like the pika and Zhenzhe were still arguing, but the topic had changed to "Is the black mist the ink sprayed out by the giant squid?"

"Everyone in Yugutai, where are you?" Song Yin was not sure if he could be heard, but fortunately, the earphones immediately quieted down as soon as he spoke.

The pika was the first to respond: "Little Morpho, right? We're at 125.31.49."

Before Song Yin could ask what this meant, Ergou stepped in: "Your equipment can't check the coordinates yet. I can navigate for you if necessary, but it's a bit complicated."

"I can't make it through." Song Yin bluntly rejected the pika, "The equipment is too bad."

The pika replied in seconds: "Little rookie, don't run around if you don't have enough equipment!"

"I didn't run around." Song Yin refused, "Obviously you all disappeared."

"How is it possible?! I don't know about the others, but Xiaozhen Zhe and I stayed where we are!"

Speaking of this, the pika paused for a moment, maybe he also stretched out his hand to touch his side, and immediately exclaimed: "Xiao Zhenzhe is gone!!"

A calm and clear-sounding voice said: "I have always been in the same place, but I can't see Morpho."

This must be Mithril - Song Yin didn't think it was so difficult to accept the feminine code name "Shandie" from his mouth.

"This is what the black mist does."

Another deep and melodious male voice suddenly intervened in the channel: "I have come into contact with this type of stowaway. For a period of time, the black mist it emits can divide the dream into several layers. People trapped by the black mist will separate Trapped in different layers of dreams."

As soon as he spoke, everyone else fell silent, and the silence was full of discipline and obedience.

But Song Yin shivered quietly.

That's right, the person who spoke was the real Qi Zhengnan.

He was at the stern of this ship--at that distance and near at the same time.
