What are you laughing at?
Zheng Heyi turned around and saw Zheng Dangwu sitting on the bed, with a head popping out of the blankets, smiling at her in an eerie manner.
【Value detached +5】
【Current detachment value: 74%】
Looking at Zheng Dangwu again, the detachment value above her head is still 1%.
"Why did my detachment value increase so much?"
"Why is yours still the same?"
Zheng He was worried, "If my detachment value reaches 100% and yours is still 1%, won't you have to stay in this world alone?"
"This world feels pretty unsafe, Zheng Dangwu. Do you know how to increase this detachment value?"
The change in detachment value occurred when she put shoes on Zheng Dangwu and conversed with Guang Xia. What's the connection between these two events?
If putting shoes on Zheng Dangwu increases the detachment value, then would she be able to 'detach' and go home after wearing shoes 26 times for her?
It sounds pretty simple.
Zheng Dangwu pulled back the covers, lay on the bed, waved her straight and slim calves, "Guess."
Zheng He was quite used to her being so at odds with her, like water and fire that cannot coexist. She sat down and calmly continued to peel the pomelo.
"It seems I can't give you shoes anymore, or else my detachment value will reach full soon. Zheng Dangwu, you need to learn to take care of yourself."
"What if I detach from this world before you do? You'll be alone in this world. I'm not comfortable with that."
"Let's have something to eat first, fill our bellies, and then we can see about the rest."
Zheng Dangwu pointed to the pale blue number hovering in the right bottom corner of her sight, "It's been two hours already. Are you sure you don't want to rush to find your heart?"
Zheng He could definitely see that ever-ticking countdown timer. She handed the blood-red pieces of pomelo flesh to Zheng Dangwu, "It's better to sharpen the ax before cutting down the wood. Come on, eat."
Her slender, pale fingers picked up a piece of fresh, translucent pomelo flesh, chewed it in her mouth, and Zheng Dangwu contentedly wriggled her toes.
She flicked her eyes, picked up a piece of faintly red pomelo flesh, and suddenly stuffed it into Zheng He's mouth.
The full and sweet juice burst in her mouth. Zheng He was somewhat surprised, "I didn't expect that even with the skin wrinkled, there is still so much juice inside the fruit."
"This pomelo is really good."
Zheng Dangwu looked at the fresh red liquid flowing down her corner, and then quickly being swallowed by her tongue, and said happily, "Do you like it?"
"This is a good thing. It's very nourishing. If you like it, eat more!"
(Pomelo: To be honest, I'm not that nourishing.)
"Pomelo is just pomelo, containing only vitamins. What's there to be nourished?"
Zheng He also smiled, "You like pomelos again now?"
Zheng Dangwu just giggled, watching her as she rarelly remained silent.
Eating some pomelos, the burning hunger in her stomach finally subsided.
The whole room was filled with sweet and sour pomelo fragrance. Her sense of smell was aroused, and even with her eyes closed, she could taste the slightly bitter and sweet flavor.
Zheng Dangwu saw her enjoying herself and suddenly threw a peeled piece of pomelo at her. Zheng He didn't catch it, and the pomelo flesh hit the 'Zheng He's Diary', making blood red juice splatter.
She quickly picked up the unexpectedly limp pomelo flesh from the diary, and for some reason, this piece of pomelo was especially soft and tender, limply collapsing in a pool of fresh red juice.
It was still good in the mouth, though soft, it was also springy and sweet.
Eating it gave her a sensation as if she were eating meat.
The next moment, the blood-red pomelo juice on Zheng He's diary twisted and distorted visibly in front of her eyes, forming an abstract and eerie sentence:
[Please fill in the three murderers who killed you:]
"Please note that once you submit, you cannot change it."
The sentence was followed by a blank space.
Zheng He's pupils contracted suddenly.
She picked up the diary and walked to the bedside, asking Zheng Dangwu, "Can you see the words on it? What's written here?"
Zheng Dangwu squinted her eyes slightly, "Of course, I'm not blind. First, let you find the heart of this body, then find the murderers······"
"Tsk, They are indeed partial to you."
[Dong Dong Dong]
Knocking sound in a restrained manner.
Zheng He hesitated, then pulled up the blanket again, hiding Zheng Dangwu inside. "Someone's coming. Don't talk, be good, okay?"
She couldn't bear to let those people discover Zheng Dangwu in her room, where she couldn't even protect herself.
Before Zheng Dangwu could respond, she closed the blanket, took a deep breath, and opened the door.
As she opened the door, Zheng He was startled.
A golden large carp's tail touched the ground as it jumped in through the window of the cockpit, this golden large carp appeared to be over two meters long. The carp's head accounted for more than half of its body, its body was obese, as thick as someone's waist, and its eyes were as big as palms. It was shining all over, very strange.
The golden carp with spikes on its head soared high out of the sea surface and directly pierced into the cockpit, with an unstoppable momentum, straight toward Zheng He.
Zheng He was about to duck into the room, but thinking of Zheng Dangwu inside, her face turned serious. She locked the door with her backhand, then rolled on the ground to dodge the incoming spikes.
Countless golden carp with spikes on their heads rushed in from windows and doors, their sharp spikes pointing towards Zheng He at the same time. The cockpit was filled with fish in a moment.
Strangely, these fish seem to be charging towards me.
Zheng He shivered slightly in her heart, and there was a moment of restlessness in her blood. The body within her surged with strength far beyond the norm. She clenched her fists, kicked off a fish, and leaped upwards, landing on the wooden table.
As another fish's spike came towards her, she pulled out the axe she had cut into the wooden table the night before.
She swung the axe and turned her back, using the axe to block the spikes only a few inches away.
The wind it created flickered the candle on the table.
These golden carp were very agile, and with a slight twist of their bodies on the ground, they changed direction. They not only had spikes on their heads but also sharp fins like swords and knives.
All the spikes of the golden carp were pointed in Zheng He's direction again.
Zheng He actually saw a fierce red light in the eyes of these carp.
Damn, when did she anger the fish?
All the golden carp jumped and swam towards Zheng He.
Zheng He held the sharp axe, bent her knees slightly, and without hesitation, jumped up high with the axe, aiming for the eye of the nearest fish.
At this moment, she had completely forgotten whether the fish had vision or not and instinctively used human thinking to kill the fish.
As the saying goes, "to strike a snake at its seven-inch spot." Where should one strike a fish to kill it?
She may not know, but killing people requires cutting off their heads.
The axe head softly sank into the fish's eye, and transparent juice splashed high in the air.
The carp under her waist let out a painful scream that made her eardrums ache, and it wildly twisted its body.
Zheng He frowned, do fish actually have the ability to call out?
Zheng He twisted the fish's head with the tip of her foot, then spun around and kicked back with her right leg. The body she was in had firm thigh muscles and excellent jumping ability. With the cockpit not very tall to begin with, she directly jumped into the air and grabbed the beam of the cockpit with one hand, swaying in mid-air and looking down at these golden carp.
The eyes should be the weakness of these golden carp. The one that was hit in the eye lay on the ground, its body convulsing, and a large area of bloodstained wetness spread beneath it. It was clear that it couldn't move anymore.
The other golden carp beside them were actually watching the injured one, emitting a kind of sorrowful call.
Hmph, these fish look rather humane.
Disgusting.
In mid-air, Zheng He twisted her body and held the sharp axe, avoiding the spikes. She once again sat on top of one of the golden carp, raising the axe high above her head and bringing it down heavily. Another golden carp's eye was injured, lying on the ground in agony and screams. Its spikes were thrashing wildly in the air, accidentally puncturing its own companion's body.
A pale pink plasma splattered on Zheng He's face, and her eyes widened in anger as she lifted the axe and brought it down again, slicing towards the fish's eye.
The figure of her riding on the golden carp and swinging the axe down, and the shadowy figure of the Kuanyin Jiaodie hanging on the wall, merged together indistinctly.
Kuanyin Jiaodie, Zheng He kills fish.
The fish blood gushed down like a waterfall, splashing into the air as red shattered jade, making a rustling sound on the ceiling. This fish finally only had slight twitches left.
