Chapter 49: to choose
Ji Canghai didn't know when he quietly held Xiao Yu's palm, Xiao Yu looked back, but bumped into the other's gentle eyes.
Although there are no words, it seems that everything is in words.
Xiao Yu quickly walked out of the strange mood, he did not forget the purpose of this trip, and continued to say: "Then you know, who wants to buy you from Lord Star?"
The mermaids looked at each other, obviously ignorant of this.
Only one of the mermaids said: "I seem to have heard them talking about the Well star, which may have something to do with this planet?"
Xiao Yu and Ji Canghai exchanged a look, and then bid farewell to the mermaids, because he knew that it would be difficult for him to get any useful information from them.
"Well, what's your name?" the leader mermaid asked him.
"Xiao Yu."
"Mr. Xiao," the mermaid smiled flatteringly, "My name is Lin, and I am very grateful to you for saving us, but we really don't want to cause you any more trouble."
Xiao Yu could hear the implication of Lin's words, and he was asking him when they would be able to leave the spaceship and regain their freedom.
Ji Canghai was about to say something, but Xiao Yu suddenly raised his hand to prevent him from speaking.
Then he said lightly: "Lin, you may have misunderstood, you are our friends, we will ensure your safety. It was a pleasure traveling with you, I don't think you are troublesome, I believe you also think we are easy to get along with, yes Bar."
The smile on Lin's face couldn't hold back anymore, he didn't know if Xiao Yu was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid: "In fact, we have done a lot of homework in order to leave the mermaid planet, many mermaids including me can pilot spaceships and even escape pods. This spaceship may be useful to you, so can you give us an escape pod, and it is best to lend us some food..."
Xiao Yu's eyes scanned every mermaid, and the slightly warning eyes made all the mermaids feel cold.
After a long time, he said quietly: "I'm sorry, to ensure everyone's safety, after everything is over, we will send you wherever you want to go, but not now."
Lin looked at Xiao Yu in disbelief: "Why don't you let us go, do you want to restrict our freedom like them?"
"Leave here, you may be taken away by buyers at any time."
"We bear the consequences at our own risk. I just want to leave here, and I don't want to stay for a moment!"
Xiao Yu lost the desire to persuade Lin, he found that these mermaids' desire for freedom surpassed everything else, knowing that driving the escape pod to leave is likely to be in the hands of the buyer, but he still stubbornly believes that the spaceship imprisoned their freedom.
Stubborn and stupid.
Xiao Yu left the pool, took the bathrobe that Ji Canghai handed over to cover his body, and after a while the fish tails transformed into legs. When he turned to leave, the angry mermaid flicked its tail, trying to wet Xiao Yu's bathrobe.
Xiao Yu noticed the water flow behind him, but he didn't bother to pay attention.
He was wearing a bathrobe, and he would get wet when he got wet. The way the mermaids did this would only make him feel that these guys were even more ungrateful.
But he didn't expect that he didn't care about the water flow, but someone cared for him.
Without hesitation, Ji Canghai used his body to block him from the oncoming water, and was instantly drenched, but he still asked him with concern: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, it's you who has a problem." Xiao Yu hurriedly asked Wu Mingzhi to hand him a clean towel, and wiped the water marks on the man's face distressedly, "Stupid or not, I'm wearing a bathrobe, the worst thing is to go back and wash Take a bath."
Ji Canghai didn't take it seriously, and deliberately moved closer to Xiao Yu's ear: "Don't talk about water, even if it's a particle cannon, I can block it for you."
Xiao Yu: "..."
Hey, good oil.
But still warm.
"Is it disgusting?" Xiao Yu insisted, pinched Ji Canghai's face, and punished him for talking nonsense.
Ji Canghai wanted to take Xiao Yu back to change his clothes, Xiao Yu pondered for a moment: "Wait a minute." Then he turned his head and looked at the trickster mermaid.
The other party still didn't feel that he had done something wrong, and when he saw Xiao Yu turning his head, he showed a provocative expression.
"I thought that the kindness of dripping water should be repaid by springs, and the kindness of saving lives should be repaid with life, but I didn't expect that just because I didn't agree to a request that might lead everyone to a desperate situation, I got you to repay kindness with grievances. I am Didn’t I forget to remind you that if we hadn’t saved you, you would still be imprisoned in a water prison waiting to die?”
Xiao Yu was very angry, Ji Canghai saved these mermaids because of him, this group of mermaids just didn't know how to live or die, and they retaliated and threw water on Ji Canghai.
Lin also wanted to speak for the mermaids: "Mr. Xiao, you are also a mermaid, why can't you stand on our side? We don't want to know who the buyer is, we only care about whether we can be free, please Mr. Xiao help us."
Xiao Yu: "..."
He sort of understood that the education these mermaid bates received was probably to serve other mermaids selflessly, and they were brainwashed over time. What they pursue is not the so-called freedom, but to prevent themselves from being enslaved, turning selflessness into selfishness.
Xiao Yu can understand their distorted values, but they will not agree, let alone be kidnapped by their morality.
"You only care about whether you can get freedom?" Xiao Yu's eyes darkened, "I can fulfill you, as long as you put poison in the water, you can go to **** to find your freedom."
Linyan watched Xiao Yu open the drawer and take out a potion that he didn't know what it was. He was so scared that he shook his head desperately: "Don't, don't do this, just talk about it! We are wrong, we will be obedient, please don't..."
Xiao Yu ruthlessly smashed the potion against the wall, and the fragments streaked across Lin's cheek, pulling Ji Canghai away.
Walking out of the medical room, Ji Canghai gave Xiao Yu a thumbs up: "Xiao Yu is so powerful, three words can calm them down."
Xiao Yu told the truth: "If you don't like it, just say it. It's quite relieved. I declare in advance, don't blame me for doing it for me."
"Of course not." Ji Canghai held Xiao Yu in his arms before it was too late to blame him, "I was worrying about how to persuade this group of mermaids to cooperate with us, but you solved it unexpectedly. Xiao Yu, you still have a way .”
If it were him, he would probably ask Wu Mingzhi to get some medicine that stuns the mermaids but has less strong side effects, or simply knock the mermaids out, and take them out when it is needed.
These plans are simple and crude, and the effect should be immediate.
But in Ji Canghai's view, it is not as good as Xiao Yu killing chickens to warn monkeys.
Xiao Yu couldn't bear Ji Canghai's straightforward praise, he coughed twice and then got down to business: "Where is the Will Star that the mermaid said, do you know?"
Ji Canghai nodded slightly, then called out the optical brain, and after pressing a few buttons, the optical brain projected a star map.
He pointed to one of the planets and said to Xiao Yu: "This is the Will Star. This spaceship is currently in the vicinity of the Wanzhong Galaxy. According to the original route, it will take at least three days to reach the Will Star. But independent The sailing direction of the USS is exactly the opposite, if we want to go to Will to find out, we can only let the USS Independence park, or find a nearby planet to land on."
In other words, either delay the return to Chang Gung Star, or continue to track down the buyer, you can only choose one of the two.
Xiao Yu really wants to know who is behind the scenes, but it is also a good choice to go back to Changgeng star and ignore these troubles of the mermaid. More importantly, since he came to this world, he has not been able to take a good rest. He especially wants to step on the solid ground and embrace the warm sun.
He told Ji Canghai his thoughts, and Ji Canghai made a decision after thinking for a moment: "I will let Liu Yilian lead the others to continue to track down the buyer's whereabouts, and we will drive Tianguang back to the Independence."
"But Tianguang's invisibility ability is also limited," Xiao Yu was a little worried, "If they have a detector that restrains invisibility, wouldn't we be exposed, and the action to track down the buyer would also fail."
"There's no way around it, as long as there is any movement in the spaceship, it may startle the snake." Ji Canghai shrugged.
Xiao Yu hesitated for a long time, and made a difficult choice: "Then let's continue to investigate."
He had already made up his mind, and when he helped the mermaid clear up the troubles this time, he would follow Ji Canghai back to Changgeng Star, and no longer care about the mermaid's affairs. He has as much responsibility as he has ability, he is not a savior, he is just an ordinary person, what he can do is extremely limited. He can only live his own life well, and he can't control so much about other things.
The buyer is quite cautious and has not contacted the craft for three days.
The spaceship arrived at Well Star safely, Xiao Yu asked Ji Canghai: "The buyer has not contacted us, should we still land here?"
Ji Canghai was not in a hurry: "If you come here, you will be at ease. This is also a true insight in your world. We will land the spaceship normally and go shopping normally. You put on the mask customized according to Lord Star, and we will do our best. Just listen to the fate."
According to the script, he will play Lodesta, because among so many people, only he is the same height and figure as Lodesta.
Ji Canghai played the role of an attendant beside Lodesta.
The others also had their own responsibilities. After disembarking from the spaceship, they played together together, as if they were really on vacation in Will Star.
Xiao Yu was no exception, he patted Ji Canghai away who wanted to hold his hand, and warned him in a low voice: "You are now Lordesta's attendant, and Lordesta should not have any interest in getting close to the attendant."
Ji Canghai took it for granted, "Then he has it now."
Xiao Yu glanced at him speechlessly, Ji Canghai looked serious: "There is news!"
Xiao Yu hurriedly asked: "What news?"
Ji Canghai pointed to the communicator: "It seems that the other party has set the automatic sending message on the spaceship in advance, and he asked us to meet in the Twilight Forest a day later."
