An hour passed quickly, the next group of night watchmen woke up, Ren Yifei found a place, spread the blanket he brought, covered with a thin sheet, added a layer of bath towel, and fell asleep in a daze.

The heavy rain stopped at about five o'clock the next day, but the sky was still gloomy and gray.

"what--"

He slept lightly and woke him up at the first scream. After that, I heard a series of screams outside, and everyone else in the room also woke up.

"What's the matter?" He squinted, feeling the back of his hand a little itchy, and rubbed his other hand.

Ok? This touch...

Taking a closer look, Ren Yifei couldn't help but be taken aback: some fish scales grew on the back of his hand at some point, peach color, dark inside and light outside, with silver borders, like a deliberately drawn peach blossom tin.

"Round scales, one centimeter in diameter, with slightly curled edges, soft and tough texture, fish scales." A finger rubbed his forehead.

Ren Yifei raised his eyes and saw that Saman appeared in front of him at some point, staring at his forehead with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"My forehead too?"

"Well, it's pretty cool," said Salman.

Ren Yifei:  …

The distance outside the house was calling, and other people in the room were calling, only Ren Yifei and Saman were in a daze face to face.

"You," Ren Yifei stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, very vigilant, "do you like men?"

Saman immediately retracted his hand: "I don't like it." There are also several dark blue fish scales on the back of his hand, which are also beautiful.

"Outside! Outside!" The glass door opened, and a group of people surrounded them, all of them were scared to death, and stretched their necks to watch.

Ren Yifei was very curious, got up, stood at the door, and glanced at it.

I saw a big fish lying on the steps under the eaves, with its tail pointing in his direction. With its tail attached, the fish was two meters long, silver-gray, with many rot marks on its body, and a stench near it.

"Who put the dead fish here? It's not fresh anymore and can't be eaten." Ren Yifei looked around, "what about that 'thing' yesterday?"

"It's head." screamed a makeshift roommate.

Ren Yifei was curious, he got closer, and finally saw the specific appearance of the dead fish, he was stunned.

Human head, fish body... This, this, this is too ugly, he can't accept this mermaid!

"Ah!" Ren Yifei exclaimed briefly, "What is this? How does it grow..."

The chunky woman lying here yesterday turned into a fish monster?

The manor staff in overalls came over with a small cart. There was already one of these corpses in the cart. He shouted: "Come on someone, throw a piece of it and burn it. Everyone calm down!"

He shouted several times, and finally a person came out and dragged the fish carcass into a small cart through a plastic bag.

They left, not knowing where they were going to burn.

There were only a few brave people in the crowd, and most of the rest collapsed.

"It must be a curse," the people cried, pulling out the scales on their bodies. "Am I going to die? Because our ancestors were fishmen?"

The fish scales on their bodies were pulled out, red translucent blood flowed out, and a faint fishy smell wafted out.

Pieces of fish scales were pulled out, and the man pulled the fish scales desperately until the blood was blurred: "I don't want to die, I don't want to die."

The sound of brushing, brushing, fingernails scraping the fish scales and skin was endless, Ren Yifei stared at the place where the fish scales grew on the back of his hand, his fingers flicking.

"Hiss." He didn't think it was very good, he took out an old T-shirt in his bag and tore it into a long strip to tie the backs of both hands.

There's definitely something weird about this place, he's always been very self-control, but he's been emotionally high (relatively) a few times.

Look at the people around, they are adults, but their behavior is as uncontrolled as children. Fear, anger, despair... all kinds of negative emotions are amplified.

"Everyone, don't touch it first. It is difficult to find a doctor at this juncture, and there are no antibiotics. In case there is any infection that cannot be solved." Ren Yifei advised them not to touch the fish scales on their bodies, and endure it no matter how uncomfortable it is.

If it doesn't work, just tie it up or cover it up. If you don't see it, don't worry about it, just pretend it doesn't exist.

However, the islanders were not willing to listen to him, and only a few stopped. Ren Yifei aimed at the other two players in the crowd. They didn't escape either, but none of them touched the fish scales on their bodies.

As soon as he turned his head, he met Saman's eyes again, and the other party smiled at him, which was horrific.

Ren Yifei doubted what he was suspecting.

After only sleeping for more than four hours, Ren Yifei was still very sleepy, but he still patted his face to wake himself up, and then packed the blanket into his bag. Look at the wooden barrel on the side, with a goldfish bowl stuck on it, and a cat sleeping underneath.

After about five or six minutes, when these collapsed people calmed down a little, he asked, "Would you like to go down and have a look?"

But they were all immersed in their own pain and did not respond for a long time.

"I'll go see with you." Saman said, and carried his bag. "There are too many people. I'm afraid there is not enough food on the mountain."

Holding the barrel and the cat tightly, Ren Yifei's hair stood on end: "You really don't like men?"

"..." Saman, "I don't like it."

Ren Yifei expressed his disbelief and left quickly with a wooden barrel.

Samman:  …

"I just want to go down and have a look." The spectacled girl raised her glasses and looked at Saman: The intention of inquiring about the news was too obvious, which scared the NPCs away, tsk tsk.

In fact, the map of the glasses girl has marked the submerged island, but the map is just a map, and nothing can be seen.

The little girl didn't speak, just stood up silently and walked out. She saw the outside world through the drone early in the morning, but some details still have to be seen with her own eyes.

This side is on the mountain, and there is a mist outside. The sky is gray, looking up, I feel that the sky is very close, and the pressure is very low, and the mood is also low.

It is said that there have been several bizarre deaths in the middle of the night, and the asylum seekers even broke down into a fight. At that time, Ren Yifei slept in a daze, plus it didn't happen in the mushroom house, so he ignored it.

Did those who died also become fish?

Several houses in the distance were lit with lights, and there was a lot of noise. It seemed that it was also because of the fish monster and fish scales.

Normal people can't accept this.

The lights in the Mediterranean-style dining room on the other side came on, and he saw refugees bickering inside, even fighting with the manor's staff.

what happened? Ren Yifei also walked over.

The conflict had ceased when he came in - because the table had been turned over.

"When the rescue comes, I promise, we will return as much as you have, double." The person who said this looked very polite and said it very nicely. If there were no menacing people standing behind him, Maybe Ren Yifei would believe it.

A player, who I met before, a social animal player, came for the 'Black Rabbit'.

There is something special about his tone, which feels concise and powerful, like someone who has been giving orders for a long time. And there are many people standing behind this social animal player, all of them are young and strong, their age is between 20 and 30 years old, they are all male, and they have tools in their hands, which is very oppressive.

Having gathered so much idle combat power in one morning, he seems to be someone who has studied behavioral psychology and knows how to mobilize the emotions of the masses and integrate them.

Opposite this group of people is the owner of the manor, and there are a few tall-looking employees beside her.

Not knowing the cause and effect, Ren Yifei stood still, his eyes turned elsewhere.

The ceiling of the dining room is high and glass is installed on all sides. It should be bright and transparent, but now the tables, chairs and benches are covered with a layer of gray.

Ren Yifei noticed that there was a stage on the side of the restaurant. There were some musical instruments, furnishings and decorations on it, all covered with white cloth.

"That's the stage, and when there are guests, we perform there."

Ren Yifei raised his head and found that it was the violinist from yesterday. He stretched out his hand: "Hello, your violin is very nice."

"Thank you." He also stretched out his hand, with a few fish scales on the back of his hand, "Aren't you with them?"

The violinist was referring to the aggressive group of refugees.

"Of course not." Ren Yifei immediately expelled himself from the team, "What happened here?" It was normal yesterday, but today it has become a triad?

"It is said that the edge of the island has collapsed, the sea water is pouring back, and there is a vast ocean below." The violinist bit a dry coarse grain bun, drank a little water to moisten his throat, and continued, "Before the rescue arrives, they can't go back. So everyone more emotional.”

Yo, what a civilized statement. More than excitement, this is going to be staged in a full martial arts.

The refugees yelled at the manor owner and his party, venting their emotions: "You obviously have so much to eat, yet let us eat these things?"

Pour some porridge on the ground, very thin sweet potato porridge.

The hostess of the manor stood there, her hands crossed on her chest, and sneered in a defensive posture: "I said, these things have expired and cannot be eaten."

"Can't eat?" The refugees showed the frozen ingredients in their hands to everyone: flour, milk, cheese, polished rice, Japanese beef, tuna, foie gras, lobster, king crab...

"This is a small part of what I moved from the cold storage and it's full!"

Such a semi-abandoned manor actually hides so many fresh and expensive ingredients?

After seeing these, and then looking at the miscellaneous grain porridge on the ground, even Ren Yifei was speechless.

The facts are in front of us, and no one believes the manor owner anymore.

"I know you don't want us to eat these, but you don't have to say that these things are expired and can't be eaten, right? It's not like we won't give money." The leading social animal player looked regretful, looking at the manor owner's eyes full of 'unreasonable trouble', He continued to stir up emotions on both sides.

The asylum seekers were angry, feeling they had found a legitimate reason to attack the manor owner who had taken them in.

Ren Yifei narrowed his eyes slightly: Wait a minute, since it is the ingredients in the cold storage, it should be very internal, how could these refugees know about it?

Unless someone deliberately 'accidentally took it out'.

Ren Yifei's eyes swept across everyone present: Who would it be?

"Hey, don't go too far, someone took us in, otherwise we would still be soaking in water outside!" After a short silence, a righteous young man, Gu Xingye, who knew right and wrong even though he didn't quite understand it, stood up.

The refugee who was accused by him shrank his head and said, "Children, don't join in the fun."

The manor owner looked at them and frowned. I don't know if she regrets taking in these people at this moment.

But it's useless if she doesn't open the door, the iron door can't stop people.

"Your father didn't tell you: without the owner's consent, taking other people's property is robbery?" Ren Yifei carried a folding chair and walked between the refugees and the manor owner, blocking the manor owner behind him.

He took this chair from the stage, and when he lifted the white cloth, he could see several folding chairs. He also conveniently left the barrel and the cat there.

"You?" The manor owner was a little surprised.

"Boy, don't meddle in your business," the refugee warned him.

"Pada." With a flick of the folding chair in his hand, the chair unfolded, and Ren Yifei sat on the chair with a big horse and a golden knife. Although his face flushed with nervousness, he still bit his head and said, "I'm sitting here, am I getting in your way? "

At this time, the atmosphere was very tense, but no one moved, knowing that once they started, things would not end well.

"This is what you want." During the tense confrontation, the owner of the manor threw out a key, "You can move the things in the cold storage, I hope you will not regret it."

After getting the key to the warehouse, the refugee team was ecstatic: "We have something to eat."

The manor owner looked at them coldly until the group left the restaurant.

"Uh..." Ren Yifei just opened his mouth and wanted to ask if there was hot water, but the owner of the manor walked away.

There were a lot of broken ingredients scattered on the floor of the restaurant, and some employees came to clean with brooms, swept everything into a dustpan and discarded it.

"I really can't eat anything, it's all expired. Even those seafood that look fresh are kept in the freezer for two months. If you eat them, you will feel sick to your stomach." The violinist didn't know when he was standing next to him.

Ren Yifei didn't think that the refrigerator could not be eaten after two months, but he believed it when people said so.

"I don't want to eat, is there any hot water?"

"Oh, yes, that's a water dispenser," said the violinist. "Sorry, our boss is in a bad mood."

"I understand, thank her for me."

The violinist nodded: "Mmmm."

"This is a thank you gift, and they don't eat it anyway." The young woman with a chef hat came out. Ren Yifei saw her at the fish market. She gave him a large bag of coarse-grained steamed buns. There were seven or eight steamed buns with the size of fists, but they were all cold.

He thanked her, put one in his pocket to eat for a while, put the rest in his backpack, and went to the stage to hug the black cat.

The cat was very good, so he stayed in the barrel and waited for him. Ren Yifei put the folding chair back, picked up the barrel again, and suddenly became curious: "What is this bulge in the middle? A rockery?"

"Debris, and a model ship." The employee answered while cleaning.

Seeing this, Ren Yifei stopped disturbing them and left the restaurant.

The author has something to say: A Fei (horrified): Do you like men?

Saman (reluctantly): No.

Pia!
