Yuze suddenly looked up at him, "Why don’t you give it a try?"

Rob’s scalp tingled with fear, "I’m not joking, Captain, if you make me try this, I’ll hang myself right here."

Yuze chuckled, looking at him kindly, "It’s just some simple little thing, why are you so scared?"

A hint of mischief flashed in his eyes as he suddenly lifted his hand, swiftly clutching Rob’s neck and pressing him to the ground.

"Ahhhh! Little Tactician, help!" Rob screamed in fright.

Josh’s mouth twitched, "Captain... stop teasing him."

Yuze smiled sincerely, "Our Rob has the most sensitive taste buds. Letting him try it will tell us what this thing is, won’t it? Save him the trouble of guessing."

Rob struggled to escape the grasp, terrified, and plunged into Josh’s arms, "The Captain is so vicious, I’m scared!"

Josh patted his head.

Rob smugly peeked out from Josh’s embrace, "Captain~ Are you jealous because you can’t just freely dive into Josh’s arms as I can, intentionally ostracizing me?"

Yuze smiled faintly, "How could that be? I’m just thinking it’s rather pitiful to see a nearly six-foot guy squeezing into her arms, crouching awkwardly. It’s not your fault you can’t be dainty and graceful, you’re born tall and strong, full of masculinity."

Rob was hurt, turning tearfully, tugging at Josh’s sleeve, "Little Tactician, look at him!!!"

Josh gently rubbed Rob’s head, his smile more unsettling than Yuze’s, "Don’t worry, let’s ignore him. Who would like a big, clumsy, straight guy? Do you like him?"

Rob shook his head vigorously, "I don’t like him at all!"

Josh spread his hands, "I don’t like him either, so you see, we just won’t play with him."

Rob nodded again, throwing a triumphant glance at Yuze squatting by the pool of blood, feeling a little thrill like stirring trouble among a couple in front of their spouse.

Yuze stared at Josh, the reproach on his face was self-evident.

Josh coldly looked away.

Yushi quietly approached Yuze, "Captain, how could you provoke the Little Tactician?"

Yuze took a deep breath, "I know it was wrong, but I’ll dare again next time."

Josh put on gloves, wiped the blood, and glanced at the shattered internal organs on the ground, "It looks like human organs."

Rob nodded, snuggling up to Josh with his big body awkwardly perched nearby.

Yuze walked over, squeezing between the two, looking at Josh with a smile, "Little Tactician is smart, these do look like human organs."

Josh ignored him, just pondered for a moment, "Do you remember the corpse from this morning?"

Yuze: "I remember, the organs were eaten."

Josh nodded, glancing at everyone, "Coincidentally, someone died last night, and then the ovaries here had an egg turn white. The organs on the player’s corpse disappeared, and now there’s a complete set of human organs in these eggs."

Yuze nodded readily, "So it’s the dead player’s organs, found here."

Rob and others looked surprised, "The player’s organs? How did they shrink so much?"

Yuze shrugged, "How would I know? Am I an encyclopedia?"

Josh looked at him, seeing there was no surprise on his face, "You knew all along?"

Yuze: "Just guessed."

Josh pursed her lips; she knew this guy’s instincts were terrifyingly accurate. Without absolute certainty, he wouldn’t destroy anything here carelessly.

She glanced at the eggs, "So we need to figure out what these sea monsters are doing putting human organs in these things."

Understanding the enemy’s motive is the only way to effectively counteract.

Yuze: "If nothing goes wrong, someone will definitely die tonight."

But they had no way of knowing who the next unlucky one would be.

Rob fearfully plunged into Jiang Can’s arms, "Is it going to be me? I’m so pretty and conspicuous..."

Yuze smiled faintly, "It shouldn’t be. They want men’s organs."

Rob breathed a sigh of relief, touching his chest, "That’s good, scared me to death. If that monster came for me, a fragile little shooter like me wouldn’t stand a chance against it alone."

Rob’s words reminded her, every night they were locked in their rooms; they couldn’t get out, which undoubtedly gave the monster a chance to pick them off one by one.

If they remained passive, the situation would turn very unfavorable for them.

But first, they need to figure out what these things are.

Yushi suddenly said, "These should be deep-sea embryos."

Josh looked up at the words, "What are deep-sea embryos?"

Yushi: "All sea creatures’ embryos, even if all outside creatures die, with these things, sea creatures will survive and won’t dwindle."

Josh realized, equivalent to seeds of sea creatures.

It’s not hard to guess the monsters’ goal; they want to incubate these seeds using players’ bodily organs, making them a bed.

Those soft, warm organs immersed in special liquid bubbles can become the best resting place for deep-sea embryo dormancy.

Josh looked at them, "But why are they doing this?"

Yushi: "The seabed is polluted. These things need to survive."

Josh pondered; the notion of the seabed being polluted kept recurring.

There’s a good chance that finding the Heart of the Ocean would allow them to use it to purify the entire sea?

If that’s the case, doesn’t that bring things full circle?

Find the Heart of the Ocean.

Entering this new map of the Death Sea, they received no task hints, and their actions were directionless.

The only anomaly was that voice and illusion.

Something was guiding them here to see these ovaries.

Josh rubbed her chin, contemplating as she looked at the ovaries before her.

Yuze suddenly said, "Let’s go, someone’s coming."

The group quickly retreated.

Before leaving, Josh glanced at the punctured embryos on the ground, then turned away.

It didn’t matter that they were discovered; they were at a dead-end anyway.

Indeed, sometimes you need to break things to make way for new ones.

Just after the group had retreated, a monster went down from the entrance.

Josh and the others had anticipated that the monsters would react, but not that the reaction would be so intense.

Sharp explosions echoed across the entire beach.

The seabed quaked, and the deformed creatures parasitizing the landfill were so frightened they ran out.

Sirens blared, the entire beach was illuminated by strong lights.

A loudspeaker sounded on the beach, "All guests, leave your rooms and gather at the square!"

It was called a square, but it was actually just a piece of open land before a little hill of garbage.

The players were gathered out in confusion, and Josh and the others appeared calmly on the square.

The Guiding Mermaid suddenly approached, grabbing Josh’s wrist, "Excuse me, dear guest, why is there blood between your fingers?"
