Inside the door, a girl whose skin was a little too white, but other than that, her appearance was almost the same as that of an ordinary person, was sitting huddled in a chair, looking at her with obvious fear in her eyes.

Am I that scary... Su Mo showed a self-proclaimed warm smile, "Sorry! It was really a misunderstanding last time, and I regretted it after I shot that arrow."

The girl with long green hair did not respond. She only looked at Su Mo carefully with her pure eyes. Sometimes her eyes were sure, sometimes fearful and worried, and sometimes confused...

The mermaid's eyes really spoke. Su Mo had his first clear impression of this heretic. "Why are you staring at me like this? Is there something wrong with me?"

"You seem weaker than me?"

Su Mo nodded, "Based on the strength you showed that day, you are indeed much stronger than me."

"So, you're really not the one who killed me?"

"what?"

Chapter 152: On Cheats.

"I kill you?"

Su Mo looked stunned.

He had never expected the mermaid's opening remarks.

He had never even reached the 19th floor of the dungeon, and had only seen one mermaid. How could he possibly... possibly...

The memories from the dream suddenly emerged, and the feeling of surprise began to fade away. Su Mo narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at the mermaid girl in front of him who didn't look like a mermaid at all.

The memories of the past could not overlap with the girl in front of him, but the mermaid fled in panic but was still killed, her blood was drained, the magic stone was dug out, and the blood dyed the river red, which indeed happened in his dream.

"Maybe it wasn't you, but you really look like the person who killed me."

The mermaid girl's words were like the final word in court, completely confirming Su Mo's guess.

He certainly had never killed a mermaid, but that didn't mean another 'him' had never done such a thing.

Su Mo took a long breath, calmed himself down, and sat down in front of the mermaid girl.

"First, I should know the person you are talking about."

"Secondly, he and I have a grudge that is difficult to resolve, and killing him is my goal."

"Third, if you also want revenge, I think the two of us would be natural allies."

After hearing Su Mo's clear and serious explanation, the mermaid girl shook her head quickly, "That guy is too scary. Mali just wants to stay away from him, not to seek revenge."

Girl, you are someone who has obtained the system after all, you should stand up... Feeling the mermaid girl's soft personality, Su Mo suddenly wanted to hold his forehead and suppress this impulse with his strong willpower. He felt it necessary to teach this mermaid girl a lesson.

"Just because you don't want revenge doesn't mean he doesn't want to kill you again. Do you know where the abnormal thing on your body came from?"

"Ok?"

The mermaid girl looked puzzled.

"A heretic who can use magic."

Su Mo smiled, but his eyes became fierce, "Don't tell me that this abnormal situation has no reason."

"You're talking about this?"

After understanding what Su Mo was talking about, the mermaid girl's eyes suddenly lit up and she opened the panel, "Do you have this too? I told Reed and the others that even if I open this to show them, they can't see it at all."

"……I saw."

The mermaid girl's behavior and expression were so naive that Su Mo, who was trying to deceive her, felt even more guilty.

Because he not only saw the system panel, but also saw that it was a talent tree with three large light spots at the center, with small light spots extending out around it.

Without any written description, Su Mo had no idea what the three large light spots and the numerous small light spots represented, but at this moment he was completely clear about one thing - there was no throbbing in his left eye.

Whether it was the Blood Jade One-horned Rabbit or the mermaid girl in front of him, the "system" they displayed did not have that strong resonance with themselves.

This is completely different from the feeling when I meet another 'him'.

Without comparison, he could still take it for granted, but with comparison, how could he still deceive himself?

At this moment, Su Mo even had a feeling that the reason why the other 'him' appeared in the artificial maze and appeared in front of him was perhaps to tell him this.

What he can see, can't 'he' really see it?

If 'he' could also see it, then why in all the fragments of the dream, there was no thought and behavior of 'him' trying to find these fragments and complete the 'system's' thoughts and actions?

Considering the answer given by our own God, the truth is about to be revealed.

The dungeon must have obtained part of the system that originally belonged to it, but the "system" bestowed by the dungeon on the monsters can at most be considered to be of the same origin, but in essence it is no longer part of the original system.

It was precisely because of this that he could not get more intuitive and detailed information from the panel in front of him. It was also because the "system fragments" he got from the blood jade unicorn were directly reflected on the "God's Grace", and the left eye itself did not move.

They were really good, exceptionally good, and collecting them would fully satisfy his plan to quickly improve his strength, if he did not reject constantly strengthening his connection with the dungeon.

This is the sweetest and deadliest cup of poison.

"Can you really see?"

The mermaid girl looked surprised, as if she had found a real member of her own kind.

Su Mo raised his hand and pointed at the three large spots of light in the center of the panel. "Although I don't know what they represent specifically, I know that they should be your innate abilities. These three are the basis of your abilities."

"Not only can you see it, but you can also see these. Do you really have this?"

"Yes, but it's different from yours."

Su Mo answered ambiguously, "Not only do I have it, but the person who killed you also has it. If you trace it back to the source, what you got originally belonged to me and him. You just took something that originally belonged to me and him."

"what……?"

The mermaid girl blinked her turquoise eyes again and again, thinking quickly in her little head. She pointed at the 'panel' in front of her in disbelief, "Is this yours?"

"It's his too."

Su Mo replied meaningfully.

"So, you came to me just to take it back?"

Su Mo shook his head. "I have thought about this. If you were just a monster, the only thing I could do now would be to find a way to kill you. But you are a heretic with a clear self and intellect, so at least for now, we have no intention of raising the knife to kill you."

"If you want to take it back, you have to kill me first?"

"Although naive, at least you're not stupid."

Su Mo smiled. "I dare not say anything else, but I can guarantee one thing. When he sees you, he will definitely go crazy and want to kill you directly."

"Also, don't always open this panel in the dungeon! Because even if there are several floors between us, no matter how many physical objects are blocking us, the moment it is opened, it will appear directly in front of our eyes, completely ignoring any obstructions."

"..."

Recalling the figure that kept chasing her in the dream, the mermaid girl's originally fair cheeks suddenly became even paler.

"Fells said that you can be trusted, so I believe you too, but..."

Sensing the mermaid girl's unwillingness to believe in her luck, Su Mo said nothing. He just took out a magic stone from the prop bag, took off his gloves, and pointed a finger at the magic stone.

In an instant, under the astonished gaze of the mermaid girl, the energy of the magic stone was completely absorbed, leaving only some debris and ashes.

"This is it? Did you digest it instantly?"

In order to light up more power points, she swallowed a lot of magic stones with the help of Reed and others. Only in this way could her strength leap forward quickly, but she could not achieve such a digestion speed no matter what.

"Although we have lost some of our abilities, we still have the most core abilities. I think this is the ability you are most lacking right now... Do you have a desire to kill me now?"

Chapter 153 Powerful...

The mermaid girl shook her head rapidly.

"No! I just feel a little envious."

If she could digest magic stones at this speed, she would definitely improve her strength faster, become stronger, and be able to protect everyone better.

"I envy you, too."

Su Mo raised his hand and pointed at the system panel that had not yet been folded up. "This is not a coincidence. We both have what others lack. We are complementary, but this is also the fundamental contradiction that is difficult to resolve."

The mermaid girl was not stupid, and at this moment she almost understood the relationship between them.

"That part of him you want to take back?"

"Rather than taking anything back, I would rather kill him directly... Do you think you have room to sit down and negotiate with him? Just like we are sitting here and talking about this now?"

"Mari doesn't want to see him at all."

The mermaid girl shook her head vigorously again.

"You will meet him someday, just as he will meet me eventually."

"Woo~ Can't we escape?"

At this moment, the innocent girl's eyes could no longer maintain that clarity and purity, "Run away to a farther place and keep your distance from him?"

"He can't leave the dungeon, so why should I run? If he can force his way out of the dungeon, where can I run to?"

Raising his hand to brush away the dust on the table, Su Mo met the mermaid girl's gaze, "Is it a choice to seize the opportunity and fight hard, or to live one day at a time, living a life of drunkenness and dreams, and completely becoming a lamb to be slaughtered? In the end, it is just one of the two choices."

"Can't escape?"

"You may have a chance, because I am a more important target to him. In fact, I have thought about running away and retreating, but the reality is that compared to death, retreating to sink, degenerate and decay is more difficult for me to accept. So for me, this is a life-and-death battle."

Feeling the determination, Mary was silent for a long time, "You are more courageous than Mary."

"So, you're planning to run away?"

The mermaid girl shook her head again. "Mari can't abandon her companions, and she can't leave. The monsters on the surface don't have magic stones, and without magic stones, Mari's strength will increase very slowly. That won't work."

"In this way, we can still talk."

Su Mo smiled and stretched out his hand to the mermaid girl, "I need your help, so what about you, Ma Li, do you think you need my help?"

Mali looked at the hand extended by the other party, hesitated for a moment, raised her hand, leaned forward, and placed her hand in Su Mo's hand with some timidity.

"Fells said that you are a worthy candidate for the hero. The hero will win, right?"

"You got the order wrong, Mary!"

Su Mo did not follow up with the words and made a promise, "Only the one who wins in the end is a hero, and I cannot guarantee that I can lead you to victory. Triumphantly, I cannot even give you too many promises now. The only thing I can guarantee you is one thing."

"Ms. Mary, I swear to you in the name of the Lord Goddess Hestia: When we face him, no matter when or where, even if we are already in an irreversible desperate situation, as long as I am alive, I will never let you die first."

Hearing such a vow, the mermaid girl was stunned for a moment, and then her cheeks began to blush.

"Are you saying that you will protect me with your own life?"

"As long as he is not dead, as long as I am by your side."

Su Mo's words were powerful.

This is a responsibility that a man who obtained the help of a girl by deception owes and must shoulder.

"Well, there's no need to be so serious."

"Is that so... Well, hello, Mary!"

The two hands were gently shaken.

Although she is a mermaid, the girl's hands are not cold but as warm as jade.

"Hello……"

"Call me Su Mo, or Su."

"Hello, Sue!"

With his hands apart, Su Mo saw for the first time a smile that bloomed from the inside out on the mermaid girl's face.

In a trance, he felt that the face was like a dream, so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.

It was not until the 'favor' behind him seemed to ignite a flame and the intense burning sensation quickly spread that Su Mo suddenly woke up. Almost at the moment he came to his senses, he quickly raised his fighting spirit and let absolute rationality dominate himself.

"Sorry! I didn't mean to."

Sensing Su Mo's instantaneous change, the mermaid girl quickly put on her hood and explained: "My charming ability that could only be fully displayed through singing has been strengthened, and I can no longer control it well."

"It's awesome!"
