The students nearby were startled by the sound and glared at him angrily.
"I already... I saw the merman's eyes looking at me, I really saw it."
The student's face turned pale with fright, his voice trembling.
"What nonsense are you spouting? How could eyes be looking at you? How many years have you been dead?"
"Don't be so jumpy, everyone has gone through this, why are you so timid?"
The students from Great Xia looked at him with some mockery upon hearing this.
The student's face flushed and paled from their words.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say, and his subsequent words were choked back.
"You guys look for yourselves..."
That student finally managed to utter this sentence.
Hearing this, the students beside him all looked at the female merman...
But there was nothing.
Zhou Lin looked at the oil painting. There was still oil on it, and the oil was extremely foul-smelling.
"Was that smell coming from this just now?"
Huo Qi even sniffed his nostrils and said with certainty.
"This smell is corpse oil, extracted from mermaids. This is a specially made oil painting, this kind of oil painting..."
Before Zhou Lin could finish speaking, he saw the merman on the oil painting baring its teeth.
The oil painting was moving.
Huo Qi and the metaphysics professor looked at the scene before them, their eyes wide with surprise.
"Professor Zhou Lin... am I seeing things?"
Huo Qi rubbed his eyes uncertainly, thinking he had misread.
"You're not mistaken, it's real."
As soon as Zhou Lin finished speaking, he saw the mermaids in the oil painting moving back and forth within the painting.
Huo Qi and the metaphysics professor's mouths hung open, speechless for a long time.
"Holy crap, what is this?"
The metaphysics professor finally couldn't help but curse.
Everyone was stopped by the exclamation and stared at the oil painting.
They were all shocked.
In the live stream.
"Holy crap, is this an oil painting? Whose oil painting is like this? Can anyone explain?"
"Damn, that's ruthless. This stuff can be played like this?"
"No, does merman corpse oil have such functions?"
"Stop talking nonsense, what are we going to do later? I'm really worried they'll create a pile of water from the oil painting and drown them."
"You're really thinking things through, how could there be water?"
...
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin saw the water in the oil painting churning.
Splash—
The seawater instantly burst out from the oil painting, and everyone was instantly drenched.
But there were clearly windows here, yet the water didn't flow out and remained inside.
"Pfft... why isn't this water flowing out? How is it here?"
"Damn it, what kind of tomb is this? Is this something a human would do?"
"What's going to happen to us? Are we going to drown?"
These students popped their heads out of the water.
Zhou Lin looked at the situation nearby, took out his bronze sword, and smashed a hole in the wall.
The water flowed out along the hole, and the water level in the space began to recede.
Everyone's feet began to touch the ground little by little, and the water level had dropped to their knees.
"Cough cough..."
"I almost drowned from that mouthful of water... it would be hilarious to drown in a desert."
"No, where did this water come from? Who can stand this?"
The students from Great Xia and the students from Sakura Country were gasping for air, their bodies soaked.
The netizens in the live stream were stunned when they saw this scene.
"Holy crap, I was just saying it casually, how did it actually happen?"
"You jinx, are you cursed?"
"Eh... strange? Why don't I see any mermaids? Where are these mermaids?"
"Aren't those... holy crap, where did the mermaids go? Did they get washed out?"
"They weren't washed out, they're on the other side."
...
In the dean's conference room.
Everyone looked at the mermaids who were no longer there, but were standing on the opposite side, glaring angrily, each looking at them ferociously.
"What's going on? Why are their eyes on Zhou Lin so abnormal, as if looking at a mortal enemy?"
Professor Hu felt that something was wrong.
"It's probably disgust towards humans, after all, humans harmed them."
The dean, seeing the look in their eyes, explained uncertainly.
"That makes sense, if it were me, I would also feel disgust and hatred."
Professor Wen looked at the big screen and thought it made sense.
Inside the tomb.
The mercenaries took out their weapons, nervously watching the mermaids.
At some point, the mermaids had acquired some ancient forks in their hands, and they were all looking at Zhou Lin and the others.
"Weren't these mermaids all dead? How did they appear here?"
Huo Qi was startled.
"The mermaid corpses are here, but aren't their souls still present? These mermaid souls are enough to control these bodies."
Zhou Lin explained nonchalantly after hearing Huo Qi's voice.
"Professor Zhou Lin, should we fight or not?"
Captain Zhao and Captain Song approached Zhou Lin and asked softly.
"Can your guns still be used? They were soaked by the water."
Zhou Lin looked at the two standing beside him and asked in confusion.
"Uh... they should be. We'll check."
Captain Zhao looked at the gun in his hand, with water still dripping from it, and was unsure if it could be used.
Who would have thought they'd encounter water in the desert?
Hearing this, Zhou Lin's expression darkened as he looked at the mermaids opposite.
"Why are you looking at me? I'm not the one who killed your people."
Zhou Lin looked at these mermaids who were glaring at him, as if they wanted to skin him alive.
"All you people on shore are bad people, you forcibly took our mermaid pearls. You are the most detestable things."
The leading merman asked with a cold face.
"That was your bad luck. If it were us... how could we die? You were all harmed to death. Don't stop me from going past now."
Zhou Lin said to the leading man with a cold face.
"As long as you are human, you deserve to die."
Seeing this, the merman suddenly raised the fork in his hand. The mermaids behind him revealed their uneven, extremely sharp teeth.
Then they opened their mouths wide.
"Ah~"
"Cover your ears."
Zhou Lin hurriedly shouted.
The students and professors behind them quickly covered their ears, but the sound seemed to have legs, constantly drilling into their ears.
Their eardrums were being impacted, and their minds were now dizzy.
Everyone's expression was one of pain.
"Ah..."
"This is so uncomfortable..."
"Damn it, stop singing, it's so unpleasant."
"Shut up, all of you, shut up."
