MTL - I Upended Yet Another Campus Urban Legend-Chapter 181 181

The City of Never Sleep released Lin Yi and Qin Zhou.

The gold on them is only enough to complete the transaction of 'Leaving the City That Never Sleeps for a day', which means they only have 12 hours.

There was an endless stream of people going to the city that never sleeps, and the two of them walked out quickly against the current.

Where there is a sea, there is a beach. Lin Yi looked from afar, and at the end of his field of vision, he could see some lights.

The castle is also in the same direction as those dotted lights.

They don't have enough time, what will they face if they fail to go back to the city that never sleeps within 12 hours, this is a question that can be answered without thinking.

After walking for about half an hour, they finally reached the end of their field of vision.

When I got closer, I found out that this place is like a small town, there are not many streets, only two vertical and horizontal. The only spectacular sight is the castle behind the town, and you can reach the castle gate by walking straight on the road that is erected in the town.

There are many soldiers on duty at the city gate, wearing heavy armor and holding sharp spears.

Lin Yi and Qin Zhou hadn't walked in yet, and the leading soldier shouted in a heavy voice, "You are not allowed to approach here!"

Swish—

The soldiers pointed their spears at the two of them, expressing with their weapons that if they dared to go any further, they would stab them into their bodies.

Since he has come here, Lin Yi can't come back without success, he takes out the kit and wants to continue to use gold to send them.

In the city that never sleeps, gold is the pass.

"Everyone do well." Lin Yi stretched out his hand and handed over the gold.

Staring at the shabby gold in Lin Yi's hand, the stern soldier suddenly burst out laughing.

"Is this bribing us?"

"With this gold?"

"It's just gold, my toilet is not decorated with gold!"

Qin Zhou said: "Leave first."

After being humiliated, Lin Yi silently put the gold back into the bag, and his toes were a little tired.

The two continued to wander around the town. According to the time of the city that never sleeps, it was 2 o'clock.

The town is not big, and the market is on the street.

Lin Yi looked at the street vendor, there were pork, mutton, beef, and some common daily necessities.

Qin Zhou whispered beside him: "No fish."

Lin Yi nodded.

I didn't even see a small shrimp.

And there are hammers, hammers, etc. on the vendors selling tools, but there are no tools related to fishing gear.

Qin Zhou said, "Go to the beach to see."

Lin Yi also thought so: "Okay."

The two walked towards the seaside, the closer they got to the sea, the stronger the salty smell in the air.

Not every inhabitant lives in the town, and there are some separate houses by the sea, but it is still some distance from the sea.

The two of them stopped in one place and looked at the scene here.

Qin Zhou tilted his head and asked Lin Yi, "Little genius, what do you think?"

Lin Yi said: "It's obviously close to the sea, but I can't see the development of fishery."

He raised his head and pointed to a small house in front of them: "But the fishing gear is hanging on the wall, and it looks like it has been put on hold for a long time. Senior, I feel that something happened here to stop them from entering the sea. But It can't be the prince's order, because the fishermen live on the sea, and they can't give up fishing in order to make a living, it is only possible that the fishermen are afraid of the sea from the bottom of their hearts."

Qin Zhou nodded: "Abandoning the fishing industry and building a house far away from the sea is indeed not an aversion to the sea, but the sea has some taboos."

The taboo of the sea brings to mind sirens and more.

But at this time they don't need to guess whether there really is a siren in the sea, because they already have guesses in their hearts.

Isn’t the mermaid princess living in the sea?

They just need to verify that the fishermen are not giving up fishing because of the mermaids.

The two had the same idea, Lin Yifuer said to Qin Zhou, "Senior, I have a solution."

Lin Yi secretly ran to the small house in front of him. He heard people talking in the house, indicating that there were people living in this house.

He took off the rotten fishing net that the fishermen had put on hold for a long time, wrapped it around his lower body, and then bent over to adjust the fishing net beside his feet, and arranged the fishing net into the shape of a fish tail.

Afterwards, Qin Zhou also hung a small lamp on Lin Yi's head, so that the shadow of a mermaid appeared on the ground.

Qin Zhou raised the volume and shouted: "The mermaid has appeared!"

The peaceful conversation in the small house suddenly stopped, followed by the sound of panicked footsteps.

Someone pushed the door carefully, and saw the shadow of the mermaid on the ground from the gap, which scared the residents to the ground: "Mermaid! It's a mermaid!"

The words were filled with fear.

Lin Yi put one hand on his throat, cleared his throat and was about to speak to scare the residents.

The residents of the small house who had been frightened by Lin Yi recruited themselves like pouring beans. They knelt down in front of the mermaid shadow, holding gold and silver treasures in their hands: "This is the prince's reward It's all here for us, don't kill us, don't kill us!"

Lin Yi glanced at Qin Zhou who was leaning against the wall.

Qin Zhou gave him a slight nod.

Lin Yi squeezed his voice and asked, "I won't kill you, I will find the prince."

"Thank you! Thank you!" The fishermen were grateful and didn't think there was anything wrong with Lin Yi's clip sound. Perhaps they had never seen a mermaid before, and this was the first time they had seen it.

Lin Yi asked: "But you must tell me how to get to the castle, tell me, and I will let you go."

castle."

After getting what they wanted to know, Lin Yi didn't scare them: "You all go back to sleep immediately and forget about seeing me today."

The fisherman hurriedly said, "Okay, okay."

With a 'squeak', the door of the small house was closed by the obedient fishermen.

Lin Yi bent over to untie the fishing net wrapped around his legs, Qin Zhou stepped out and helped him untie it.

Lin Yi whispered: "No wonder the guards don't like my gold pieces. It turns out that the fishermen are so rich. Senior, the toilet at the guard's house may be inlaid with bricks."

Qin Zhou couldn't help but smile.

After undoing the fishing net, Lin Yi returned the fishing net to its original place.

The two walked towards the castle again.

When they reached the edge of the castle, they did not appear in front of the guards, but hid in the dark.

"Little genius." Qin Zhou asked, "How long?"

Lin Yi counted the time: "There are still 7 minutes until the next hour."

Qin Zhou raised his eyes to look at him, and after a while he covered the emotions in his eyes: "Okay."

Whenever Lin Yi reported the time on time, Qin Zhou's heart palpitated.

This is not a normal person's sensitivity to time.

I didn't see it.

Seven minutes later, the guards on duty at the city gate entered the city gate neatly.

The two did not hesitate, dashed to the city gate, and entered.

As soon as they entered, they heard the approaching footsteps of a group of guards in the distance.

They hid behind a pillar and waited until the guards left the city gate before communicating.

Lin Yi said: "Senior, we have to separate."

After entering the castle, Lin Yi glanced around.

The castle is bigger than what they saw from the windows of the city that never sleeps. They only have 12 hours, and they have to remove the time to go back and forth. There is no way for them to explore the castle at the same time.

Qin Zhou nodded.

"Be careful."

Lin Yi: "Okay."

After separating from Qin Zhou, Lin Yi ran to the tall building.

In fairy tales, the prince or princess lives on the top floor of the castle.

So he didn't discuss with Qin Zhou. If he did, he wouldn't necessarily go to the top floor.

The castle has very few lights, and the overall color is dark. Qin Zhou does not have his night vision, and going to the top floor will only be more dangerous than him.

Although the castle is not well lit, it does not affect Lin Yi's discovery of the gold and silver treasures scattered in the castle.

If he doesn't pay attention, he will kick a luminous pearl in the air.

Lin Yi carefully walked to the backmost room on the top floor.

He tried to push the door.

The door was not closed, he slipped in.

The room is very large, after entering the room, Lin Yi was attracted by a huge painting on the wall.

A giant ship was pressed against the rough sea, and the bottom of the ship crashed into a splash of white. On the deck is a prince in a medieval dress, dressed very grandly, holding a sword in his hand, surrounded by guards with their heads bowed.

And the bottom of the boat is not only the waves, but also a mermaid about the size of the hull. The huge fish tail full of gold flakes was heavily pressed by the boat, making the fish unable to turn over and escape, and could only struggle violently, causing even bigger waves on the sea.

And the prince's sword was stabbing towards the mermaid.

Lin Yi looked at the mermaid's face, which was the strangest part of this painting.

The face of the mermaid has only one outline and no facial features. In the whole painting, only the prince clearly depicts the facial features, so clear that you can feel the victorious gesture from the prince with just one glance.

This painting has a name, "Navigation Chart".

He was looking at the painting when he suddenly heard footsteps coming fast outside the door.

Lin Yi was stunned, and hurriedly ran deep into the room.

The bed was behind this painting. After hearing the sound of the door being kicked, Lin Yi didn't think much about it and slipped under the bed to hide.

He adjusted his posture to hide under the bed, paying attention to the movement at the door of the room.

Two pairs of feet appeared in the field of vision.

According to the length of the feet and the style of the shoes, a man and a woman came in.

"Why!"

The man's voice roared: "I'm so good to you, why are you doing this to me!"

The woman's voice was calm and impatient: "I didn't do anything."

"You did it!" The man grabbed the woman's shoulders: "You looked at my soldiers for three seconds! You are not even willing to give me a straight eye!"

The woman was speechless.

Lin Yi was listening under the bed, feeling a little speechless.

The man grabbed the woman and said, "You talk, why don't you continue to explain? Oh, I see! You are guilty! You really have an affair with him!"

"Your Highness!" The woman seemed to be unable to listen, and emphasized: "I didn't do anything."

This title made Lin Yi sure that most men were the princes of the castle.

"Really?" The prince sneered: "I called him, do you dare to confront him!"

"As you wish."

Lin Yi scratched his head, it turns out that the prince in the fairy tale is also afraid of wearing a cuckold.

After a while, a third voice appeared in the room.

The soldier knelt down: "Your Highness."

"Speak!" The prince pointed at the soldier's face and said, "Are you coveting the princess!"

The soldier quickly explained: "Your Highness, how dare I covet the princess!"

The prince sneered: "You really covet the princess."

"You did not answer 'no'."

Lin Yi: "???"

He, a bystander who eats melons, doesn't understand where this logic comes from. He sympathizes with this soldier. A hundred mouths are useless.

Shu—

Lin Yi heard a crisp sound, as if a sword was vigorously drawn from its scabbard.

Then the princess screamed: "Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Lin Yi's perspective couldn't let him see the full picture of the events in the room, he could only see the soldier who was kneeling on the ground suddenly fell down.

Then Lin Yi took a breath.

The fallen soldier had no head, his head was chopped off by the prince.

At this time, she was rolling on the floor until she rolled to the edge of the bed, staring at Lin Yi at the bottom of the bed.

Such an impact made Lin Yi's breath stagnate for a moment, and then slowly moved towards the sound of footsteps walking towards the bed.

The prince's feet appeared next to the head, and then the prince crouched down to pick up the head.
