Rong Yi didn't know whether the mimicked human image could truly express her feelings, but she looked at Ai Zhensheng's face and showed a constipated expression that could be said to be "I can't explain it to you".

Rong Yi: "...are you angry?"

Ai Zhensheng shook his head quickly, indicating that he wanted to organize the language.

"How should I tell you..." He put his hands on his chin: "You seem to have misunderstood my relationship with the game."

"The game isn't my home, it's just my — work place."

"How many people really feel about their workplace?"

Rong Yi:  …

Although he is an NPC, he is quite knowledgeable about the world.

"If you want to say why I am in the game, it's just to make a living." He looked like a vicissitudes of life, watching the ebb and flow of the tide and sighed: "Being a boss for a day and a fish for a day is just that."

No wonder, a random boss with a very low chance of appearing can follow her through the dungeon, which is very public and private.

"So if you want to bring down my unit, Rong Rong—" Ai Zhensheng took out a box of white ointment from his pocket, probably bought from a mall, and opened it, it smelled of cool oil.

"I can help you. And I can change jobs."

With his slender, pale fingers, he scooped up a small piece of sticky paste and gently rubbed it on Rong Yi's wound corroded by the mermaid's digestive net.

The mucus on the wound has dried up, and the ointment acts directly on the flesh and blood, and it is cold and itchy.

Rong Yi smiled, took the plaster from his hand, and smeared it on the wound at will.

"Where are you going to change jobs, and is there a second 'game' recruiting BOSS?"

Ai Zhensheng stretched out his hand, scooped up the ointment, and gently smeared it on the shoulders and back that she couldn't reach: "Why do you have to go to the game? Don't your company need an advanced intelligent AI like me?"

"Fan Xingze will make a hundred and eighty copies of you, put a copy in everything from the high-performance computer to the sweeping robot to see the effect, and then parse you into pieces from the beginning to the end." Rong Yi felt Ai Zhensheng's touch The fingers on her skin were still as wet and cold as the octopus.

He has now become accustomed to the name "Fan Xingze", and said lightly, "He won't."

"And I believe that with him joining, the game will definitely be successfully cracked."

"So confident. Because he's your 'senior brother'?" Rong Yi teased, "Ai Zhensheng, a student of NoelOtis?"

In the days when he used to pretend to be a person, Ai Zhensheng lied that he was the student of this famous teacher, that is, the junior brother of Fan Xingze.

"How did you think of using this identity. Is NoelOtis so famous among your NPCs?"

Hearing this, Ai Zhensheng's hand on the medicine paused: "Rongrong."

"Ok?"

"Help me with a word for Fan Xingze." Ai Zhensheng said without end, "Just say it, pay attention—"

Having said that, he suddenly frowned in pain, his hands tightly holding his throat.

Rong Yi was so frightened that he stood up to support him: "What's the matter with you?"

Isn't he the most powerful random boss in this game? Could something hurt him?

"NPC is strictly prohibited from leaking the underlying rules of the system to players." A cold mechanical voice suddenly echoed on the empty island: "NPC999999 violated relevant regulations and will be banned from its power and skills."

Yes, the only thing that can hurt BOSS is the rules of the game!

Rong Yi looked up at the empty night sky and panicked: "What do you mean? Xiao Ai?"

Ai Zhensheng curled up his tall body and struggled to say a few words from between his teeth: "Stay away from... me... stay away..."

His shoulders began to rise and fall strangely and irregularly, like a balloon that was about to deflate, or plasticine that had been arbitrarily pinched and rounded. Rong Yi didn't know how to help him, so he could only obediently back away, while using words to comfort him: "It's alright, you don't have to force it, if it's difficult to maintain a human form, forget it, I don't despise you!"

Ai Zhensheng: "...Then you...don't look..."

"Don't watch, I don't watch!"

Rong Yi suddenly felt that he was in love with some monster, and now the monster was about to show its prototype.

She turned her back and heard the sound of jelly popping from behind her. The sound grew louder and louder, accompanied by Ai Zhensheng's painful moaning.

"Xiao Ai?" She was so worried that she couldn't help turning around—

On the beach, the giant pink octopus, so huge that the whole island could hardly fit it, was popping its last tentacle from its body. Her big blue eyes looked at her tearfully.

"You said yes--don't look at--" Octopus didn't know where to use his voice, and made a hoarse and low voice like Ai Zhensheng.

Rong Yi heard the grievance in his voice and took a deep breath.

It's just her Simmons, her boyfriend, her Ai Zhensheng.

Don't be afraid.

She stepped forward and lay gently on the soft and smooth skin of the octopus: "My own boyfriend, see what's wrong?"

The touched octopus skin tightened slightly, and there was a faint blush on the big pink head.

"Oh...then I...I...take you back..."

After speaking, the huge tentacles rose from the sea water, wrapped her softly and held her up in the air.

The big octopus slid into the sea water, and held Rong Yi at a comfortable height where he could touch the sea surface, and quickly swam into the deep sea.

I don't know if it was her illusion, Rong Yi seemed to feel that the tentacles that carried him were getting narrower and smaller, and the big head of the octopus, which was almost invisible in the potential depths under the water, could gradually be seen.

The tentacles shrunk again, and Rong Yi retracted his feet that were about to fall into the sea.

That's right, Ai Zhensheng - shrinking!

When the octopus shrank to the size of a lifeboat, Rong Yi saw the Dawn Goddess. The giant cruise ship is like a hard dark cloud, standing in the middle of the sea without a trace of light, a dark silhouette on a dark blue sky background.

When Ai Zhensheng took her to the porthole of the engine room where Luo Huayue and the others were hiding, Rong Yi could only sit on his round head. Only the tentacles with long arms rolled up a swirl of sea water and threw it on the window with precision!

"Snapped!"

In the engine room, the old man opened his eyes alertly, opened the window, looked around, lowered his head, and found Rong Yi on the outer wall of the cruise ship. On her head is Ai Zhensheng, who has shrunk to the size of a hat:

The old man "Ho, so soon, the cubs are all born?"

Rong Yi: "..."

Raymond had just woken up from the fatal blow from ICE and had to get to work.

"I found it." He hummed Rong Yi and the little octopus out of the porthole with a vine: "In this team, I'm a handsome man, and I'm just a coolie."

In order to make room for them, Luo Huayue indented into the narrow and low pipeline channel. In that place, only her petite figure would not be uncomfortable.

Zhang Haiyang curiously studied Ai Zhensheng on Rong Yi's head: "What is this? California octopus*?"

Ai Zhensheng shrank to about 20 centimeters and no longer changed. At this time, he was quietly sitting on the top of Rong Yi's head, like a doll.

Zhang Haiyang poked it cheaply to see if it was alive.

Rong Yi hurriedly opened his hand: "What are you doing? Haven't you seen this before? My boyfriend."

Zhang Haiyang: "..."

Ai Zhensheng made a hoarse voice that didn't match his appearance, and politely extended a pink tentacle to him: "Hello, I'm Rong Yi's boyfriend. I didn't have time to say hello before, I'm sorry."

After a fierce ideological struggle, Zhang Haiyang grabbed his tentacles, shook it gently, and choked out a few scenes: "...octopus...is a very intelligent cephalopod...with three hearts and two sets of memory systems... …your boyfriend, um, is brilliant. Bless you all.”

Rong Yi: If you don't know how to praise, you don't have to.

The cruise map on the bulkhead added new details, which Luo Huayue added based on the details they went deep into the cabin tonight.

The blank part is getting smaller and smaller, and the position of the cockpit is becoming more and more clear.

Luo Huayue yawned: "Sister Rong is back too. Shall we go check it out before the sun rises?"

Thinking of those mermaids, ICE shivered all over, and tucked itself into the pile of rags beside the old man: "If those things come again, can we escape again before our health bar is full?"

Raymond was in a slack spirit. He seemed to be stunned by ICE, and his brain was still not fully awake. He muttered, "I don't understand. I'm so happy today, how can happiness be fake?"

The old man was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and hit him on the head with a fishing rod: "Silly boy, wake up, why are you still in a dream?"

Although Rong Yi also intends to take advantage of the night to obtain more information, but looking at everyone's exhausted mental state, he also knows that what they need most now is rest.

It's just that Ai Zhensheng turned into the current state without any fighting ability, which made her sense of crisis rise sharply.

The more they procrastinate, the more dangerous they are. Must be fast!

She touched the little octopus above her head:

"Ai, can you still have another can of the bean juice-flavored energy drink you bought for me?"

The little octopus called up the NPC panel and touched it flexibly with tentacles: "Damn game, my account has been frozen."

Its two tentacles spread out: "I'm a pauper now."

The hoarse and low male voice was coquettish and lethal, Rong Yi coughed dryly, took him down from the top of his head and embraced him in his arms, lying in his corner.

No way, I can only rest first, wait for my physical strength to recover, and make plans tomorrow.

In his arms, it was cool and soft, and Rong Yi finally stopped dreaming of her boyfriend becoming an octopus brother.

Because in his dream tonight, he turned into a pink peach-flavored mochi.

They were caught in the orange sunset, and the feeling of kissing was eating a sweet and soft mochi. The peach flavor is wrapped in sesame filling, and when you kiss it, the filling is revealed.

"Rongrong." The pink and tender mochi with a hoarse voice said affectionately, "I'm not cute anymore, do you still love me?"

Rong Yi licked the dark sesame filling at the corner of his mouth: "Love. Am I the kind of person who only looks at appearances and is superficial?"

"Delicious is the most important thing."

Mochi was so excited, she climbed up softly and sticky, and kissed her on the mouth fiercely!

The soft glutinous rice cake covered his mouth and nose, and Rong Yi felt the suffocation of love: "...loose...loose...you're going to be suffocated..."

She didn't catch her breath, she woke up suddenly!

When I opened my eyes, it was still pitch black. Is it not dawn yet?

Rong Yi touched her face, only to find that the little octopus was crawling up on her face, covering her eyes, mouth and nose.

No wonder she couldn't breathe.

She tore the baby octopus off and placed it on top of her head, and the bright sunlight from the porthole pierced her eyes.

"Rongrong." The little octopus's voice was full of worry: "You had a fever last night, and I want to cool your forehead."

"But you sweat so much, I can't pick it up, it always slides down."

Rong Yi touched his forehead, and sure enough there was a wet, slippery cold that is unique to a small octopus. She felt a cold sweat that dries up on her body.

It may be the reason for the fracture. It burned up last night, but under the physical cooling of the little octopus, the body temperature has returned to normal now, but the body still remains sore and soft after the fever.

Rong Yi's heart was tender, and his fingers hooked the already warm tentacles of the little octopus: "Thank you."

When I looked up, I realized that besides her, the others had woken up long ago, sitting in rows watching her interaction with the little octopus.

Luo Huayue: "Sister Rong and brother-in-law have a really good relationship."

Zhang Haiyang: "I don't understand, but I am shocked."

Rong Yi blushed and drove them out to fish to fill their stomachs.

Ai Lunsheng, who was punished and imprisoned by the rules of the game, could no longer help them hang fish one by one, so the probability of black fish getting hooked returned to the "extremely low" familiar to the old man. Thanks to the advanced fishing gear, he caught enough people before noon. Satisfied black fish.

There is still a lively party on the deck, and the cabin must also be full of all kinds of entertainment.

If you enter with your eyes open, you will inevitably be confused to the point of losing your mind.

"I can memorize the existing map." Luo Huayue took a deep breath and closed her eyes: "Go to the depths of the cabin with your eyes closed, and then feel the cockpit with your hands."

ICE clicked: "It's too difficult. Even if you can touch the cockpit, can you find the chart with your eyes closed, or can you drive the cruise ship with your eyes closed to change the course?"

"Why don't we wait for the night? Sister, didn't you say that your boyfriend killed a lot of mermaids? Will it be much safer at night?"

Rong Yi spread his hands: "It's true that he killed a lot, but I'm not sure that it's all the mermaids. Besides, there is another evil spirit captain, you forgot?"

Zhang Haiyang leaned on the side of the boat, trying to restrain himself from feeling seasick: "Being confused is not a momentary thing, I feel that we are all slowly being restrained and losing our mind. Huayue, you should keep your eyes open when necessary. , let Mr. Lei tie a vine for you, and if something goes wrong, you can pull it, and we will pull you out."

Raymond didn't know what he was thinking, but when he heard CUE himself, he sighed.

The old man smiled dryly: "I have tried the method you mentioned, and I can indeed pull myself out by pulling the rope at the last minute. I used this method to explore most of the structure of the cruise ship."

"But then I found that I went in again and again and saw it again and again, and over time, even if I closed my eyes and went in, as long as I went there, the sights I had seen would still appear in my mind, and I would still fall into a state of psychedelic dementia. ."

"I couldn't go any deeper and had to give up this way of exploring."

Luo Huayue pondered for a moment: "We can change people. A goes in first and explores for a while; B memorizes the updated map, and then goes in, you can explore deeper... Repeatedly."

"Grandpa, who can't go deeper, we have four people, we should be able to explore the cockpit!"

She looked at Rong Yi expectantly.

Rong Yi stroked his lips in thought and slowly shook his head: "...It's still a risk. The weight is too big."

She glanced at a few people: "In this copy, reason is more important than anything else. As long as we maintain our sense, we can find the location of the cockpit even if we dismantle the cabin a little from the outside."

Zhang Haiyang smiled: "Sister Rong, you don't really have this plan, do you?"

"This is the last resort. It is very moving and requires high tools." Rong Yi lifted the little octopus from his head and stared at his blue eyes:

"You're not a player, right? Not only will the NPCs here not confuse you, they will even be afraid of you."

The little octopus scratched his head with his tentacles: "My power is locked by the rules of the game. They are still afraid of me, I'm not sure. But the power of the copy is of the same origin as me, and it really can't hurt me."

Rong Yi nodded with satisfaction:

"Look for the cockpit, as long as the eyes don't look. I have a more cost-effective way."

She glanced at the golden entrance of the cabin, closed her eyes, and put the small octopus over her head:

"Xiao Ai, start navigating."

"Turn left, pay attention to the threshold under your feet, and take a big step... Yes."

"There is a door on the right, unlocked, push in."

"Go up the steps, five, four, three, two, one, turn back on the railing, continue up, six, five, four, three, two, one."

...

Ai Zhensheng's navigation services for her, from the text version in WeChat, to the silent live version in the copy, to the current live audio version, are already proficient in business, and the rhythm fits.

With his eyes closed, Rong Yi seemed to be able to see half of it. His speed was not slow at all, and he gradually reached the deepest part of the known map.

"Where are we going next?" the little octopus asked her.

Rong Yi listened to the intertwined voices around him. This is the hall they last visited last night. It seems that the function of the banquet hall during the day is very lively.

"The cockpit should be at the top and the front row of the cabin." Rong Yi said, "but we didn't see a large row of glass windows on the deck when we were on the deck."

"It is possible that one-way glass is used." The little octopus said: "If this copy deliberately hides the location of the cockpit, it must be impossible for you to see it there at a glance."

"I think according to the logic of a ship, the cockpit must be in a place with a good view." Rong Yi pointed up: "We haven't explored the top floor yet. Xiao Ai, let's go up."

"it is good."

The little octopus guided her, through the colorful world of bright lights, through the splendid joyous field of sensual dogs and horses, and went up step by step.

The surroundings became more and more silent, only the footsteps of Rong Yi and the whispered navigation of the little octopus.

"It's not as gorgeous as the one below." The blue eyes of the little octopus are still clear, and he always maintains a clear and rational mind.

"Ahead, keep moving forward."

"Have you touched a door? Unscrew the handle."

"crunch-"

The door opened.

"It's simple, but it's spacious. It looks like the cockpit," said the little octopus. "Just to be on the safe side, don't open your eyes."

"Turn right, keep walking, touch the glass case, open..."

"Is there a chart here?" Rong Yi asked.

"It's not a chart. I just checked the navigation system here. It's quite advanced. The charts should be all electronic files. But the system requires a password."

"There are logbooks in the cabinet. I don't know if you remember the system password." The little octopus replied: "There are many logs. You start with the first one from the left."

Following his instructions, Rong Yi touched the book on the far left, took it out, and turned the pages to show the little octopus.

"I read very fast, you can turn it faster." The little octopus said softly: "The quantum wave speed reading kind."

Rong Yi:  …

She flipped through the journal, and quickly finished one.

Under the "quantum wave speed reading" of the little octopus, they quickly flipped through most of the logs in the cabinet.

"Wait!" The little octopus suddenly stopped her: "Turn two pages forward."

Rong Yi turned forward two pages, and heard the low hoarse voice of the little octopus read:

"The passengers are about to find a way to get back. But I don't want to. I'm a terrible captain."

"I'm a terrible lover too. There's nothing I can do but let my lover wander this sea of ​​death."

As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Yi heard the man's restrained and angry growl from behind him:

"What are you doing?!"
