Chapter 98: Blood eels and humans

Jiang Luo was disgusted by the blood and water feature of the male fish.

It's not enough that you're in heat, the blood has this function. Other things aside, how dirty must the blood of a male fish be?

Jiang Luo was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently. However, in the face of the evil spirit's interested and probing gaze, Jiang Luo had to hold back his temper and pretend that nothing had happened.

At this moment, Chi You mustn't see anything, or else Jiang Luo's night will be really unpredictable.

He's very, very interested in Chi You, but that's an interest in the enemy, and humiliating the enemy is something Jiang Luo is very willing to do, and being humiliated by the enemy--

That's not possible.

Jiang Luo exhaled a breath of hot air, pushed down the heat that surged through his body, wrung the rainwater out of his robe, and said as if it were normal, "This lesson is over."

After that, he tried to go back to the room bypassing the evil spirits.

Chi You, however, reached out and blocked his path.

Jiang Luo's heart tightened, and he looked up at him without moving.

Black-haired young man face rose abnormally red, his breath heavy, in the cold rain into a white mist steam. His eyes were cold and warning, but the ends of his eyes were burning red, and in this abnormal color, he appeared to be in denial, seemingly angry or not.

Rather compelling.

Chi You laughed amusingly, and said slowly, "You look a little off."

Jiang Luo forced his breathing to slow down and calmly asked back, "What's wrong with me?"

The evil spirit scowled down at him.

The dark-haired youth was out of place no matter how he looked at it.

"You wouldn't be ......" His dark eyes narrowed.

Jiang Luo's fingers were clenched tightly and his whole body was tense and ready to be seen through by him, when he heard Chi You say thoughtfully, "Fever?"

Jiang Luo: "......"

He was silent, and Chi You took it as a sign of acquiescence. The all-powerful evil spirit suddenly lost interest in teasing Jiang Luo, and he even developed a slight displeasure that annoyed him.

The human body is always so fragile, even for Jiang Luo. It only took one rain shower to get sick, and the man he considered a kindred spirit and a rival was imprisoned and dragged down by such a human body.

He'll get sick, he'll get hurt, he'll die.

Uninteresting.

Chi You lips narrowed coldly and stiffly, slowly tightening. His aura became dangerous and distorted in an instant, the black mist danced hideously behind him, and the air seemed to become thin. As shivers rose instinctively from Jiang Luo's sweat, the evil spirit suddenly disappeared.

With the residual terror still lingering in place, Jiang Luo's just-risen look of caution froze on his face and turned into suspicion.

Chi You, what are you doing?

Could it be that they deliberately dug a trap for him to try to trap him?

Jiang Luo was puzzled. After a few minutes of standing on guard and not seeing Chi You reappear, Jiang Luo was convinced that Chi You had really left.

Evil ghosts this wave of operation really let him not understand, Jiang Luo did not hold back the laughter.

Fever? He's really good at thinking.

But by then, the heat of his body was getting worse, his breath was hot, and Jiang Luo rushed back into the room.

When he went back to the bathroom and saw himself, Jiang Luo realized why Chi You said he had a fever.

His face was flushed and his lips looked as if he had crushed rose juice. Rain and sweat slid down from the corners of his forehead, and Jiang Luo's whole body was hot and white.

But as soon as he looked at him, he knew that he didn't look sick, he was clearly burning with internal fire and lust.

Jiang Luo fixedly looked at himself for a while, did not dare to delay to put a tank of cold water, soak in it to lower the body temperature.

Other than this ball of fire that was getting hotter and hotter, Jiang Luo did not feel any other discomfort. Even the fire did not affect his sanity, just a little dry mouth.

Taking advantage of the bubble bath, Jiang Luo washed himself again. Abruptly remembering something, he touched his lips with a strange expression.

Kissed it again.

Not even caring whether it was disgusting or not, Jiang Luo just naturally shot back.

The kiss was a constant fight to the death. The battle between their lips and tongues seemed to be a fire beacon, and they even beat each other up in the rain. He showed no mercy to Chi You, and Chi You showed no mercy to him. Is this mode of getting along between them really a mode of enemies?

It seemed like something was wrong, but then again, it didn't seem like anything was wrong.

Jiang Luo is puzzled, he hesitantly put down his hand, Yu Guang glanced over himself, suddenly his face flushed, shamefully covered his face and groaned, painfully did not want to look at himself.

Damn ......

Why did it happen to be up when he was remembering the kiss?

- - Absolutely all because of the male fish blood he reacted that way.

Jiang Luo inexplicably with his own stubborn vigor, do not know whether to prove himself, he hard did not move himself a bit, only with cool water to bring down the fire. When everything is finished, the clock hand has pointed to four o'clock in the morning.

It was late, and everyone had already gone to bed. Jiang Luo lay on the sofa, covered with his jacket and stayed awake for a while, then forced himself to fall asleep.

At ten o'clock in the morning he was awakened by Ge Zhu.

The moment Jiang Luo opened his eyes, he felt a headache. He sat up holding his forehead and asked, "What time is it?"

He startled himself when his voice left his mouth, his nasal voice was thick and hoarse, like he hadn't spoken in more than ten days.

Even so, when he spoke, his throat felt as if a knife had stabbed him, so hard that it hurt to swallow.

Jiang Luo reacted that he had a real cold and fever.

"...... "For a while, Jiang Luo didn't even know what to say.

His voice also startled Ge Zhu, who hurriedly poured him a cup of warm water, and Jiang Luo drank half of it, the pain in his throat slightly better, "Thank you."

"You've got to stop talking," Ge Zhu said sadly, "it's almost twelve noon, and a crew member just came by and asked me to let you know that you're going to the dining room for blood eel at noon."

Jiang Luo's brain was still a bit dizzy, and he rubbed his forehead in reaction for a few seconds before slowly saying, "Oh, I remember, today is the third day."

Ge Zhu is even more worried, "Are you still going?"

"I'm afraid I can't if I don't go," Jiang Luo took a sip of water, "The Chi family bought me this spot, and if I don't go, I'm afraid they're going to take advantage of the situation."

And with Lu Youyi and a few others still holed up in the room with the two of them, now was not the time to tear their faces off.

Ge Zhu : "But the blood eels they give, whether they have life-prolonging effects or not, are not good, you can't eat them."

"I know," Jiang Luo exhaled a breath of hot air and wiped his face, "I'll go change first, right, where are they?"

"They've gone into the civilian area to inform the message to hide inside the bilge once the flare goes off. I thought those monsters couldn't smell slime-soaked humans? They always have a few more chances of surviving hiding in the bilge than elsewhere. Once we've survived until we've killed the female blood eel and the police have arrived, it'll all be over."

Ge Zhu said despondently, "If you can save one more person, you can save one more person ...... just a few of us ......" He let out a bitter smile and no longer continued to say.

Once the female blood eel is killed, the male fish on the entire ship will definitely go into a state of rage Ge Zhu Although he didn t say it, he knew in his heart that it would be a nine death battle.

But he was always open-minded, so he simply didn't think about it, and waited for Jiang Luo to change his clothes, and then pondered with him how to not eat this blood eel.

Jiang Luo's brain was buzzing now, and he couldn't think of any reasonable solution. After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay, let nature take its course, the big deal is that I'm sick and have no appetite, how can they force me to eat?"

Ge Zhu looked at his expression, and her worry grew even more, "Okay, then you have to remember never to eat it."

At noon, Jiang Luo went to the restaurant, but on the way, he bumped into someone because he was dizzy.

Looking up, it's still a familiar face.

Cheng Li just wanted to swear, but when he saw that it was a rich man, he put away his swear words and made way with a stern face.

Jiang Luo suddenly gave a start as he brushed past him, looked at him sideways and smiled, "Is your name Cheng Li?"

Cheng Li impatiently said, "What is your order, sir?"

Jiang Luo shook his head, "It s fine, I just see that your name looks familiar, it should be a case of mistaken identity ...... I used to know a friend called Zhao Qing, her husband is called Cheng Li."

Jiang Luo sighed again and mumbled to himself, "Sister Zhao and I haven't contacted each other for a long time as well, I don't know if she's doing well, and I heard that she even gave birth to a lovely daughter ......"

Cheng Li was frozen in place, his face trembling with horizontal flesh as he stared at Jiang Luo with a deadly stare.

When Jiang Luo was about to leave, he abruptly reached out and pulled Jiang Luo, a big, strong man panicked and confused, pointing to himself, "Yes, yes, my wife is called Zhao Qing, I am her husband, we have been married for several years, my daughter is called between, you did not recognize the wrong person."

Jiang Luo's brain hurt even more when he was yanked, he endured it and said in mock shock, "Such a coincidence?"

Cheng Li nodded his head busily as he looked at Jiang Luo carefully with a heartbreaking gaze: "Do you have a good relationship with my wife? Sir, I haven't heard anyone talk about my wife for a long time, can you talk to me more?"

"Has she said anything else to you? Like herself, or my daughter!"

Jiang Luo looked at him with difficulty, "It's lunch time."

"I'll waste a moment of your time by inviting you to lunch with me," Cheng Li bent over and smiled curtly, "just talk to me for a few moments, just a few moments."

Cheng Li's attitude is on the verge of lowering himself to the dust, he misses his wife and daughter so much, but the memories of him and his family have been relived countless times. On the boat, he couldn't find a second person to talk about his wife and daughter with, and he desperately wanted to know more new things about his wife and daughter.

Jiang Luo looked at Cheng Li's pleading eyes as he paused, ''I would love to talk to you about Sister Zhao and Mamoru, doesn't Sister Zhao love photography? I still want to ask her about photography ...... but I have urgent business now. I'm going to eat now, and I came on the boat just for this blood eel, how about this, how about I come back to join you for a couple glasses of wine when I'm done eating?"

Cheng Li's face changed drastically, his grip on Jiang Luo's hand became even harder, "You're one of those ten people?"

Jiang Luo nodded and sighed, "Just eating this meal is almost costing me all my money."

Cheng Li's lips trembled, and his expression slowly sank. Suddenly, he dragged Jiang Luo to an unoccupied room, Cheng Li closed the door and windows, and the whole room was plunged into darkness.

Jiang Luo stood patiently while Cheng Li looked around to see that nothing was missing before walking up to him and lowering his voice, "That blood eel, you can't eat it!"

Jiang Luo's eyes narrowed and he deliberately said with dissatisfaction, "Why? Didn't I spend so much money just to eat the blood eel?"

Cheng Li suddenly snapped, "If you don't want to die, you can't eat it!"

Jiang Luo did not make a sound, Cheng Li thought he did not believe in it, and walked around the room impatiently, and finally, with one footstep, as if he had made up his mind, he lowered his voice and said, "Where did you hear the news that blood eels can make people live longer and younger?"

Jiang Luo was vague, "From other rich people's mouths, of course."

Cheng Li didn't press the issue either as he sneered, "Then you should have seen those who ate the blood eels."

Without waiting for Jiang Luo to reply, he continued, "Did those people become ten or twenty years younger? Did all major and minor illnesses disappear and they could live for decades more?"

Jiang Luo looked at him in wonder and nodded repeatedly, "Right, right, right."

Cheng Li's emotions were getting more and more agitated, "Put the fucking shit on! I don't want to be young and long-lived when I've lost my life! The blood eel fry, whether male or female, are no good. The male fry allows the male fish to parasitize the human body, eventually assimilating into the human body and turning into a monster in human skin! The female fish are even more terrifying, they will control your consciousness and make you become no longer you!"

"Those rich people who got off the boat were manipulated by the female fish, they were getting younger and living longer, but they weren't human anymore!"

Jiang Luo's brows jumped hard, "Manipulating consciousness?"

Isn't this similar to Chi You's tactics?

It's too unbelievable and really nuanced.

If the rich people who once came aboard and ate blood eels were all manipulated by the blood eels into consciousness ...... then isn't this entire ship, rich and commoners alike, rations for blood eels?

They use the females to control the rich to bring more people on board, using the bodies of civilians as nourishment and food for hatching eggs, and year after year, those rich people controlled by the blood eels are enough to become a terrifying force. What are they trying to do? What kind of plans do they have?

How much is this behavior like humans keeping cattle and sheep in captivity? Slaughtering some of them for rations and leaving some to reproduce.

A chill rises behind Jiang Luo.

It's not man eating fish or man eating man, as they thought before, but it's completely reversed, with the fish feeding on the humans.

*

Jiang Luo was shocked by this fact for a while, and after regaining his composure, he prepared to leave in silence. Before leaving, he asked Cheng Li a question: "Do you want to see your wife and daughter again?"

Cheng Li's eyes dimmed, "You don't know, they're dead."

Jiang Luo said, "If you can find your wife's and daughter's hair or intimate apparel, their favorite things from before they were born, as well as their birthdates, you may not be able to see them."

After saying that, he bid farewell to Cheng Li who was worried and came to the restaurant on time.

But he was the last of the ten when he reached the restaurant. The other nine rich men had long been eagerly seated, and in addition to the ten of them there were others standing by the wall who seemed to be visiting the scene of the first blood eels being consumed by the rich.

One of them had a somewhat familiar appearance, with a broad forehead, narrow cheekbones, and a mole on the bridge of his nose, and was the very person from the Chi family that Jiang Luo and Ge Zhu recognized.

Jiang Luo gave a cry and came to the captain, rubbing his forehead, "Captain, I had a cold and fever last night, and my throat is also inflamed, it really hurts, I can't eat fish for the next few days. Can I save this opportunity to eat it until I'm better?"

The captain frowned, but hearing the raspy intent of his voice, he could only shake his head regretfully and say sympathetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhong Wei, the blood eel is ready and must be taken within half an hour to be effective."

Jiang Luo coughed and coughed, his face was pale, but his lips were crimson and sickly, no matter who looked at him, he would feel that he was a seriously ill. His brows knitted, tangled for a long time before he endured the pain and said, "But I really can t eat ...... Forget it, let this opportunity go to someone else, I will wait for the second batch."

His eyes scanned through the crowd, abruptly settling on the Chi family man with a mole on his nose, and smiled weakly, "This big brother, I'll let you have this opportunity."
