[Chapter 445, Liu Qiao]

Liu Qiao's voice was blocked by the mineral water bottle and sounded very weak, but Xiao Lou noticed the movement in the bottle for the first time. He took the mineral water bottle from Ye Qi's hand and asked softly: "Xiao Liu is awake?"

Liu Qiao swam around in the bottle and found that Xiao Lou in front of her seemed to be magnified dozens of times in her field of vision. His face looked like a wall to her. She finally reacted and said: "You are changing me into a

It’s about the size of a thumb and locked in a bottle? Is it the same as the 8 of spades locked up with Mr. Shao?”

Shao Qingge came over and asked, "Do you still remember the 8 of spades?"

Liu Qiao said: "Of course, Mr. Shao was infected by the Zerg to save Xiaoye. At that time, he was afraid that you would hurt his teammates, so everyone used my Thumbelina card to lock you in a bottle..." She paused and suddenly realized:

"I understand. You made me smaller and locked me in a bottle. Are you worried that I will hurt everyone? Do you suspect that I am a clone?"

After hearing this, Xiao Lou became less suspicious of her. After all, only his teammates knew that Shao Qingge was infected by the Zerg in order to save Ye Qi. Liu Qiao could accurately tell this, which greatly increased his credibility.

.

Yu Hanjiang asked in a low voice: "Do you still remember where we first met?"

Liu Qiao said: "At the mountain temple in Liuxi Village, I turned into Little Red Riding Hood and set off sky lanterns to lure you over, allowing you to discover the human bone pit behind the mountain temple."

Yu Hanjiang continued to ask: "What are the identities of us in the secret room of the war in troubled times?"

Liu Qiao replied seriously: "Captain Yu is the newly appointed prefect, Professor Xiao is your wife, Mr. Shao is from a rich family, Lao Mo is the master, Long Sen is the guard of the palace, Sister Qu is the princess's personal maid, and I am a doctor

Girl, Ye Qi is..." She turned back to look at Xiao Ye: "The top girl in the brothel."

Ye Qi couldn't help but raise his forehead: "Can you not mention that dark history... Captain Yu, can you change the dungeon?"

Yu Hanjiang immediately changed the question: "What disease did everyone get in the tenth level?"

Liu Qiao said: "Professor Xiao is the chief resident of the Department of Surgery. Team Yu was shot and sent to the emergency room; Xiaoye got pneumonia in the pediatric department; Professor Shao had a heart attack and had a stent operation; Long Sen broke his leg in the orthopedic surgery department; Lao Mo was sent to the emergency department because of intestinal obstruction.

I have to go for surgery; I have a blood disease; Sister Qu is pregnant and has lupus erythematosus..."

Lu Jiuchuan touched his nose and said, "It sounds like you were really miserable in the tenth level. You all got sick."

Ye Qi said: "The combination of the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled and the pregnant are really miserable. Professor Xiao is the only normal person... However, I think this level is more troublesome. The tenth level only has limited mobility for everyone, and the clues are very clear. This level

Until now, we don’t even know how many clones there are.”

Yu Hanjiang said: "Do you remember the plot of the 9 of Hearts?"

Liu Qiaodao: "In the murder case in the entertainment industry, the first murderer was psychologically twisted and killed the judge of the singing competition who gave him a red light, and the other was a body double who had undergone plastic surgery and killed his best friend."

Listening to Liu Qiao's fluent answers about the past copy situation, Xiao Lou finally breathed a sigh of relief. To be on the safe side, he continued to ask: "Xiao Liu, do you remember the library of the Medical University? There are materials related to traditional Chinese medicine on the 23rd floor.

"

Liu Qiao thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I often go to the 23rd floor to borrow books."

Xiao Lou was silent for a moment, then looked back at Yu Hanjiang and said, "No problem, this Liu Qiao should be me."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Liu Qiao said: "That Xiao Lou, the pastry he brought me must have been mixed with drugs. I fainted after eating it. If Professor Xiao hadn't suddenly connected me with his intention, I would have never doubted his identity.

, he looks so much like Professor Xiao."

Xiao Lou said helplessly: "The genes of the clones are 99% similar, almost like twins, and it is really difficult to tell them apart in appearance. What you see is Xiao Lou No. 5. He is a fusion of human, Zerg, and mermaid genes, plus

He is a hunter and knows our team inside and out, so it is really difficult to deal with him."

Liu Qiao wondered: "Hunter? Why do clones become hunters?"

Xiao Loudao: "I guess hunters, like challengers, can travel through different secret room worlds. We can come directly to this world and be assigned different identities. Hunters can naturally be assigned identities, and hunters are assigned to

The more important your identity is, the more difficult it will be for us to pass the level."

Shao Qingge thought thoughtfully: "For example, in the tenth level, my adoptive mother is a hunter?"

Ye Qi couldn't help but feel frightened when he thought of that scene on a rainy night: "If Mr. Shao and I hadn't reacted quickly enough, his mother would have almost killed us at the last moment!"

Xiao Lou glanced at his teammates and said meaningfully: "So, the hunter in this level is assigned the identity of 'Xiao Lou clone', which will also greatly increase the difficulty of our clearance. If we are not vigilant enough,

, maybe I fell into that person’s trap.”

Yu Hanjiang said: "We can avoid him first and investigate the shipwreck incident."

Xiao Lou agreed: "Okay, we will dive into the deep sea as soon as daybreak."

Liu Qiao swam around in the bottle and asked, "Can you let me out? I am a princess of the mermaid tribe. I am familiar with the paths of the palace. Maybe I can help."

Xiao Lou winked at Yu Hanjiang, who nodded, walked over to unscrew the bottle cap, and poured the finger-sized fish out of the bottle. At the same time, Gui Yuanzhang put away the [Thumbelina] card, and Liu Qiao immediately

Restored to its original shape.

Her tail is the longest among all, over 2 meters long. The silver-white tail shines brightly under the moonlight, making her even more beautiful than the mermaid heroine in the movie.

Lu Jiuchuan glanced at her tail: "Is this the mermaid tail with royal blood?"

Guiyuan Zhang nodded: "The sign of royal blood is very obvious, the tails are all silver, and there are fewer and fewer mermaids with this kind of pure blood. The mermaids believe in racial concepts and believe that those with silver tails are the most noble and can inherit the throne.

, and must also be descendants of silver-tailed mermaids with pure bloodline."

Xiao Lou thought for a moment and said: "The current prince of the mermaid clan is artificially cultivated using genetic technology. As long as when making a clone, the gene fragment that determines the color of the mermaid clan's tail is extracted and integrated into the cells of Xiao Lou No. 4.

The cultivated Xiaolou No. 5 will automatically have a silver tail symbolizing the royal bloodline?"

Yu Hanjiang said: "Then if we find an excuse like 'an illegitimate child living abroad', the people of the mermaid tribe will not doubt the identity of this prince. After all, he has a pure silver tail."

Ye Qi looked at Xiao Lou: "Can we distinguish Professor Xiao from the clone based on the color of his tail?"

Xiao Lou smiled and said: "My tail is the blue color of ordinary tribesmen, and his is the silver color of the royal bloodline. It can indeed be distinguished. However, in the palace, the mermaid tribe has to walk on two legs and does not expose its tail. On the surface, it is still difficult to distinguish.

.Everyone should try not to get separated when taking action tomorrow, so as not to be taken advantage of by the clones."

Gui Yuanzhang said cautiously: "If we get rid of that clone, we can naturally make the mermaid princess Liu Qiao the new generation king of the mermaid clan."

Liu Qiao was stunned for a moment: "Me? King?"

Ye Qi patted her shoulder and said, "It's a lot of pressure, isn't it? Professor Xiao also has to inherit the throne. At this stage, you two have a special status."

Liu Qiao thought for a while and nodded seriously: "Okay, I will cooperate with everyone."

It was already 4:30 in the morning, Xiao Lou said: "Let's all rest for a while and set off at dawn."

Everyone was really tired after staying up all night, so they lay on the rocks and took a brief nap.

Xiao Lou did not fall asleep. He lowered his head and seemed to be thinking about something. After a long time, he secretly held Yu Hanjiang's hand and quickly wrote a few words in Yu Hanjiang's palm. Yu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then gave

Xiao Lou gave an "I understand" look and said warmly: "Let's rest for a while."

Xiao Lou closed his eyes and fell asleep for half an hour.

Not long after, a glimmer of light gradually appeared on the sea level in the east. It was already dawn. Xiao Lou woke everyone up and said: "Get ready, there are still 5 hours left for the mermaid princess to transform."

The living habit of the mermaid tribe is to stay up during the day and come out at night. It will be safer to act at dawn.

In order to facilitate underwater communication, Xiao Lou opened the [Team Voice Headphones] card and gave each person a headset. He pressed the bulge on the headset and said: "Xiao Liu, please lead the way. I'm with Captain Yu.

After the break."

Liu Qiao nodded and dove into the sea, his silver fish tail drawing a beautiful arc in the air.

Gui Yuan Zhang, Lao Mo followed closely, and Mr. Shao, Xiao Ye, Lu Jiuchuan, Tang Ci and others also jumped into the deep sea one after another.

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou followed at the end, and the group swam quickly towards the location of the sunken ship.

After adapting to the setting of "legs turning into fish tails", everyone swam faster and faster in the sea.

Ye Qi has been a landlubber for more than ten years. He is afraid every time he goes into the water. He never thought that one day he would be able to swim freely in the depths of the ocean and even see colorful fish schools in the ocean.

The deeper you dive into the sea, the more beautiful the scenery becomes.

A magnificent undersea painting slowly unfolded in front of everyone. Corals of various colors covered the entire sea area like large undersea flowerbeds. Schools of fish shuttled through the corals. Colorful schools of deep-sea fish opened up for everyone.

The door to another world.

This is a mysterious, quiet, yet dangerous seabed.

There are cute little fish here, as well as ferocious giant whales. The ocean is a place that always follows the rule of "survival of the fittest". Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps, and the weak have no right to survive at all.

It’s no wonder that the mermaid tribe is interested in the Noah’s Ark project. If the mermaid tribe really merges the genes of humans and bugs and inherits them, then the mermaid tribe will have few opponents and become the overlord of the entire ocean.

Liu Qiao said: "The sunken ship is just ahead."

A group of people followed, and not long after, a military spacecraft appeared in their field of vision.

The workmanship of this spaceship is very good and of high quality. Even though it is old, there are no obvious signs of rust on the metal shell of the spacecraft. Lu Jiuchuan swung his fish tail, quickly stepped forward, grabbed the hatch, and entered the cabin first.

Others quickly followed.

Lu Jiuchuan walked into the control room, looked at a bird-like mark on the console, and whispered: "This spaceship should be the 'Egret' starship that was decommissioned 25 years ago in the southern theater. This bird-shaped mark

, represents the Egret.”

Tang Ci was slightly startled, then walked to Lu Jiuchuan, looked at the complex control console and said, "It is indeed the control mode from more than 20 years ago. If I remember correctly, the Egret is..."

Lu Jiuchuan said: "General Lin's starship."
