Chapter 195: Volume 1 Chapter 195 Mermaid? Shark Person? (12)

Since it was already confirmed, Jiang Zhi hurriedly got up from her, pretending not to have noticed anything, and helped her up, saying: "Sorry, I didn't see the obstacle under my feet."

Ning Ningyan — no, it's the shark-person villain tightly gripping her arm without letting go, slightly shaking his head, his acting deserving of the Movie Emperor title is no exaggeration, he whispered: "No… no problem."

Jiang Zhi looked at it, unable to understand why it pretended to be Ning Ningyan to mix in with them, what was the purpose? Could it be because it had taken a liking to her?

It wouldn't be that simple; combining the investigation over these days on the island, that laboratory had once captured it and its companions, the shark-person race had nearly been entirely slaughtered, the survivors left as experimental subjects suffering torment without seeing daylight.

Jiang Zhi roughly knew why its darkness value was so high — after being tortured by the laboratory for years, even a normal person would become psychologically twisted.

Moreover, the shark person, a creature naturally vicious and vengeful, is called the overlord of the sea.

So to eliminate its darkness value, we must raze the entire laboratory to the ground, making the humans who tortured it pay the price.

But what surprised her was that, in the cave, just because of her smile, the shark person's darkness value dropped by 7 points — could this mean her smile can temporarily heal it?

Jiang Zhi let the shark person take advantage of her, soothingly said: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

【Villain&￥$@ darkness value 96 points】

She had just landed when the villain's darkness value mysteriously increased by three points……

Jiang Zhi frowned fiercely, not understanding which part of her words made it uncomfortable.

This guy is moody and unpredictable; her sentence was clearly fine, so why did his darkness value increase?

Jiang Zhi took a deep breath, then simply stopped speaking, afraid that saying something would increase its darkness value again.

Suddenly a voice came from not far behind her.

"Oh, you're here." The speaker was the rich second-generation Xu Chao, with Xiao Chang beside him.

Jiang Zhi hummed in acknowledgment, preparing to return to the cave.

But the two of them blocked her path.

"He Zhizhi, didn't I pay you before I came? Since you need money so badly, how about this: I'll give you another ten million when I go back, just keep me company." Xu Chao stepped forward, his eyes revealing desire and malice completely.

Xiao Chang chuckled and said: "Xu Shao, can I have Ning Ningyan? I quite like her."

She has a pure appearance and a timid, weak personality — his type. Unfortunately, back in school she always followed Zhao Anya, and they didn't dare touch her.

On this deserted, remote island with few people, they are every day tense and weak, panicking at night unable to sleep, the pressure building inside them quickly drives them to madness.

Fortunately, a female student came to the island with them; the ways to vent pressure are limited, and this approach before them is clearly the most effective.

They happened to find an opportunity: two female students went out together at night to use the toilet; this place is a distance from the cave, just right to finish and return, and they dare not say anything.

Jiang Zhi saw through their intention, gripped the sword hilt, lazily raised her eyebrows, and said: "How would that work? Xu Shao, you might as well give it now."

Dealing with these two boys is not difficult for her; they are not protagonists, and even if she killed them, there would be no punishment.

But this jungle hides monsters and laboratory personnel; blood is the easiest thing to attract monster attention, and seeing blood would only be disadvantageous to them.

She lowered her hand, deciding to settle them barehanded.

After thinking these over, she suddenly thought of a major problem.

The villain shark person hiding behind her……

If she provoked its anger, the two people before her wouldn't even be enough for it to tear apart with a single finger.

Jiang Zhi felt a surge of alarm, turned back and said to her: "Xiao Yan, stand farther away; I'll handle this and then we'll go back together."

The shark person lifted those innocent yet fearful pure-black eyes, cautiously asking: "What are they going to do?"

Jiang Zhi covered her eyes, saying: "Close your eyes, it will be over soon."

The shark person obediently raised both hands to shield its eyes; the corner of its mouth hidden in its palms couldn't help but rise, carrying a hint of mad excitement.

It only then realized how interesting Zhizhi was — more interesting than anyone it had met. It needed to speed up; after destroying the laboratory, it would drag her into the deep-sea nest, remodel her body, and make her its sole companion.

Jiang Zhi's spine inexplicably turned cold; she feared the shark person behind her was again imagining some restrictive scenes.

"Do you think you can handle us alone?" Xu Chao mocked her overconfidence; men are naturally stronger than women, so she simply wouldn't be a match for them.

And now this resistance merely adds some spice for them.

Xu Chao walked toward her, regrettingly saying: "If Jing Rou could come out with you all, how I love her; she would surely be my woman as well."

Jiang Zhi stood still; when he raised his hand trying to shackle her, she lifted her foot and kicked him away, then, as he retreated, she grabbed his wrist and violently flung it toward the nearby tree trunk.

His body slammed hard into the thick, hard tree trunk; Xu Chao fell to the ground with a painful cry, his vision darkened, and two streams of blood flowed from his nose.

"Xiao Chang! Damn it, help me!"

Xiao Chang was stunned by this scene, incredulously watching the girl approach closer and closer; he gritted his teeth and stepped forward, his tall, sturdy build stretching his arms to try to hug her body and restrict her movements.

Jiang Zhi reacted quickly, dodging his arms, then from the front she kicked his groin hard; he was in great pain, kneeling on the ground.

She lifted her foot to press on his throat, drew a dagger from her waist, waved it before his eyes, raised her eyebrows and said: "Next time take care of yourself, otherwise I'll definitely cut it off."

Xiao Chang saw the dagger, shook his head desperately, face full of terror, constantly begging: "I won't do it again! I definitely won't! Please let me go!!"

Jiang Zhi stopped looking at him, turned and walked toward Xu Chao; seeing this, he staggered backward, pointing at her and warning: "Don't come over! He Zhizhi! Do you know who I am? Once we get out I'll kill you! Don't come—!"

Jiang Zhi didn't let him finish, lifted her foot and kicked his groin hard, watching him collapse in pain, she chuckled and said: "Kill me? You'd better think about whether you can even leave this island."

Having said that, she put away the dagger, lifted her leg to head toward the shark person, raised her eyes to meet its gaze fixed on her; in the darkness it shone like a gemstone.

【Villain@￥&$ darkness value 91 points】

The darkness value dropped again — was it because she fought? Indeed, she's a pervert who likes watching fights.

Approaching, the shark person quickly showed a panicked expression, as if the earlier gaze had been an illusion.

"Zhizhi, are you okay? Are you hurt?" Having said that, he wanted to use the pretense of checking, lowering his eyes to touch her body.

Jiang Zhi grabbed that misbehaving hand and firmly affirmed: "I'm fine!!"

The shark person seemed unwilling to give up, its fingers struggling, its voice suddenly dropping: "Do you hate me? Because I'm too weak, sorry Zhizhi, I will protect you from now on, no longer hiding behind you."

Jiang Zhi almost couldn't help but roll her eyes.

—— Pretending! Really pretending! She's almost mastered the essence of a green tea.

She even wanted to recommend the villain to the quick-transmigration department; this talent, being a villain, is obviously being wasted!

"I don't dislike you!" Jiang Zhi explained: "I just don't like others touching me."

The shark person's pure black pupils flickered slightly; after a moment, they softly said, "Alright, I understand."

Although she said that, Jiang Zhi watched her arms wrapped around her own, unwilling to loosen, and felt a faint pain in her forehead.

On the way back to the cave, they encountered Chen Qi Bai rushing over anxiously; only after seeing she was unharmed did he relax, and he asked worriedly, "What happened?"

When he saw Xu Chao and Xiao Chang leaving together, he felt something was amiss and went out alone to search.

Jiang Zhi briefly told him about those two, saying, "I'm fine, but they probably won't come back."

Chen Qi Bai's eyes behind his lenses suddenly darkened, and he flew into a rage: "Beasts worse than animals!"

This was probably the first time the male lead, Chen Qi Bai, had ever scolded someone.

His attitude was a bit overly extreme and abnormal; Jiang Zhi froze for a moment and said, "Senior, don't be angry, we're fine."

Chen Qi Bai pushed his glasses up, stepped forward to check her for injuries, but sensed a wisp of chilling aura spreading around him; he couldn't help but lift his gaze to look left and right, and that aura vanished again.

Jiang Zhi felt that if she continued speaking with Chen Qi Bai, her arm would be bruised by the shark person; she hurriedly said, "I'm heading back to the cave first—I'm sleepy."

Chen Qi Bai replied, "You go back; I'll go check on them."

Watching their figures fade into the night, Chen Qi Bai's expression turned cold again as he walked on, until he saw the two collapsed on the ground, groaning in pain, and his brows furrowed tightly.

After taking out a protective suit from his backpack and putting it on, he immediately walked over.

Not until late at night did Chen Qi Bai return to the cave; he first saw that it was He Jing Rou who had returned, and she had stayed awake, sitting near the cave entrance waiting.

"Senior Chen, you're back."

Chen Qi Bai grunted, his gaze sweeping past her to the girl lying in the corner; his lenses reflected the warm firelight, and after a moment he turned to He Jing Rou and said, "I didn't find them."

He Jing Rou exclaimed in shock, "Ah, where did they go? Could it be…?" She didn't dare finish her sentence.

Chen Qi Bai said, "Go to sleep first; I'll go out again tomorrow to look."

He Jing Rou said okay, glanced at him, then walked to the fire and lay down.

For some reason, Senior Chen tonight seemed a bit different, making people feel fearful.

Early morning.

Upon learning that Chen Qi Bai hadn't found Xu Chao and the others, Jiang Zhi frowned, recalling that the place not far from the cave shouldn't have caused them to disappear in just a few minutes.

Could it be that as soon as she left, lab personnel or monsters appeared and took them away?

Both scenarios are quite unfavorable.

In total, there were eight or nine people; in just a few days, one died from severe injuries, two went missing, and another lay paralyzed on the ground, unable to move.

Only Jiang Zhi remained, along with the nervous Zhao Anya, the taciturn Chi You, and the two male and female leads; the last one, Ning Ningyan, was still disguised as the antagonist.

It's hard.
