Chapter 236 The Siren Prince
"Lu Xingtong?" Zhao Ruoxi went to get some food, but when she found that Lu Xingtong was not in the room, she went to the 12th floor.
Lu Xingtong's pensive expression was instantly replaced by guilt: "Jiang Lin was injured because of me, so I wanted to come and see him."
The two of them? They're like conjoined twins, how could you possibly fit inside them? Zhao Ruoxi felt that Lu Xingtong was being a bit delusional.
Although she didn't like taking care of newcomers, Zhao Ruoxi still had to look after the frail girl in front of her since Ji Xingyi had spoken up.
"Let's go get something to eat." Zhao Ruoxi glanced at the closed door and pulled Lu Xingtong away.
Ji Xingyi returned to the room, bent down and touched Jiang Lin's forehead, his eyes slightly darkening.
Jiang Lin clutched Ji Xingyi's clothes, her bloodshot eyes filled with grievance: "It hurts so much, kiss me."
Ji Xing pulled the person into his arms and summoned the system to take out painkillers.
Jiang Lin stared at the white pill for a moment, then asked, "What are you doing?"
"Sweetie, it won't hurt anymore if you eat it." Ji Xingyi thought Jiang Lin was just having a childish tantrum and coaxed her gently.
Jiang Lin felt a lump in his throat. It seemed his flirtatious glances had been wasted on a blind man. He threw away the pills, grabbed Ji Xingyi's neck, and kissed him.
Ji Xingyi was taken aback for a moment, but considering Jiang Lin's injuries, she let Jiang Lin continue. But as they kissed, Ji Xingyi felt something was wrong.
The boy, who was just moments ago weak and pale, is now kissing more and more forcefully.
Ji Xingyi had already had a physiological reaction, and looked away from Jiang Lin with surprise.
Jiang Lin hadn't kissed enough, so he pressed himself against Ji Xingyi and kissed her again.
"Linlin?" Ji Xingyi called out in confusion. Seeing that Jiang Lin did not stop, he pulled her away, lifted Jiang Lin's clothes, and took another look at the wound.
The wound, which was bleeding profusely not long ago, has quickly scabbed over and healed, demonstrating a self-healing ability far exceeding that of humans, which is truly astonishing.
"Oh no!" Jiang Lin thought to himself, and reluctantly looked up.
Ji Xingyi's face was predictably sour; he was so speechless that he didn't even want to get angry anymore.
Jiang Lin kissed Ji Xingyi's lips.
Ji Xingyi: "Why?"
Jiang Lin lowered his head, knowing he was in the wrong: "Who told you to keep not coming back? All you've been thinking about is Lu Xingtong."
Ji Xingyi pinched Jiang Lin's chin, scrutinizing Jiang Lin's eyes: "To make me worry?"
Jiang Lin pried Ji Xingyi's fingers apart, stood up, and rubbed Ji Xingyi's cheek: "I was just joking."
Ji Xingyi tilted her head slightly: "My lover likes to be jealous, but she won't play such pointless tricks like a little woman just to get jealous."
Ji Xingyi was quite familiar with Jiang Lin's methods. Satirical remarks were a routine practice for him, but when he really got ruthless, he would definitely use real weapons and ammunition, and he would never do such pretentious things.
Ji Xingyi asked seriously, "Who are you trying to impress? Whom are you suspecting?"
Jiang Lin was surprised that Ji Xingyi had seen through her, and the corners of her mouth turned up: "It's just a guess. Do you still remember the elevator password?"
Ji Xingyi frowned: "888? 666? Is it too easy?"
"The story of sirens and mermaids is set in the Vislan Sea. Westerners don't really like 666 or 888," Jiang Lin explained softly, burying his face in Ji Xingyi's neck.
"These are numbers that Chinese people like, so I suspect that among the 480 passengers, someone has a special identity. Given that this is the Underworld instance, there's a very high possibility that this person is hiding among the players!"
“I’ve ruled out Jiang Yu for now.” Jiang Lin had deliberately given Jiang Yu the wrong information, and Jiang Yu didn’t react at all. He even passed the false information on to Lu Xiaoxiao and the other two.
Jiang Yu is clearly not the mole.
“The special identity you mentioned must be the Siren Prince!” Ji Xingyi relayed the information about “prince” and “restoration of the kingdom” that he had heard from Klein.
After Jiang Lin left the underground floor, Ji Xingyi was forcibly injected with blue blood. Since things had come to this, he figured he might as well go and see what the second stage was like, so he didn't try to escape.
Like Jiang Lin, Ji Xingyi later experienced the same thing. After undergoing surgery, she was sent to the laboratory, which was the pool that the group passed through through the ventilation duct.
The reflections Lu Xingtong saw in the pool were Liu Li and Cao Lu, who had just undergone surgery.
"Since he's a prince, he must be male?"
"It's not Jiang Yu. Ji Ran and Wang Liang are also possibilities. There are 24 players in this instance, so it's hard to guess."
While Ji Xingyi was still reasoning, Jiang Lin hurriedly tried to pull off Ji Xingyi's clothes: "You had surgery? Where?"
Ji Xingyi took off his shirt and showed his back to Jiang Lin. A piece of his left shoulder had been gouged out, and fish scales covered his entire shoulder.
"Going to this extent for Lu Xingtong?" Jiang Lin was genuinely jealous this time.
Ji Xing turned around and looked at Jiang Lin with a deep gaze: "Jiang Lin, when did you become so insecure? Can't I do something for you?"
The reason they didn't say anything at the time was because Lu Xiaoxiao was also there, and Ji Xingyi didn't want to expose her.
Jiang Lin opened his eyes slightly.
“I sensed its life force. It seems to be very important to the sea monster. I want to secretly bring it back for you to study.” Ji Xingyi sighed. He had the power of the Crimson Water protecting him, so he wouldn’t die even if he was stabbed. He just didn’t expect Jiang Lin to have gone down to the second underground level as well.
Cao Lu's leg, Lu Xiaoxiao's right arm, Lu Xingtong's left hand, and Ji Xingyi's left shoulder.
Jiang Lin: "Could it be that all the dismembered bodies originated from a single body?"
Ji Xingyi released the power of the Crimson Water, forcibly peeling away the pieces of flesh from his shoulder. This piece of flesh, full of life, reluctantly separated from Ji Xingyi's body, the two like lotus roots still attached, with countless blue blood vessels clinging to the point of separation.
“It’s not parasitism,” Jiang Lin suddenly had an idea: “It’s repairing.”
Ji Xingyi was surprised: "Repair?"
“I think the siren implanted them into human bodies to repair the severed limbs; they wanted to revive them.” Jiang Lin poked at the bits of flesh gripped by the blood tentacles; the texture was just like jelly.
"We're nutrients? Then how do we kill it?" Ji Xingyi looked at the palm-sized piece of minced meat, somewhat at a loss.
If he's still alive after all this, then even a few more cuts probably won't kill him.
The minced meat sensed Ji Xingyi's murderous intent and trembled in the air. Unfortunately, the Red Water transformed into a cage, trapping the minced meat tightly.
"I don't know." Jiang Lin shook his head. He could erase its consciousness using his mental power, but clearly, the system would not allow Jiang Lin to use his super-limited power.
Jiang Lin: "Let's seal it away for now."
Ji Xing nodded and resealed it back into his body. Just as he was about to get dressed, Jiang Lin stopped him.
"Since we've already taken our clothes off, why don't we do something?" Jiang Lin wrapped his arms around Ji Xingyi from behind and kissed the boy's nape.
Ji Xingyi inwardly wiped away sweat. At Jiang Lin's pace, he would be drained dry sooner or later.
