Chapter 522: Chapter 85 Deep Sea Whale Crab Matthew_1

"Hold on, why are you all laughing so weirdly?" Pannis blinked innocently and cautiously asked: "You guys... are not angry, are you? Haha, haha, how could that be? It was just a joke, no need to be angry, right?"

"Yeah, haha, that joke was too funny, we aren’t angry at all." The girls stood up at almost slow-motion speed, with Lina clenching her fists, even strengthening them with a divine spell, wearing a gloomy smile on her face: "How could we possibly be angry at such an interesting joke, didn’t you see us laughing all the time? Haha, haha, hahaha."

"No, no, no." Pannis sat on the ground, continuously retreating with his legs pedaling, waving his hands in a panic: "Your expressions and what you are saying don’t match at all, and that laugh, why do I find it so scary?"

"That’s just your imagination, really, it’s just an illusion." Vivian followed behind Lina, hanging her head, her gaze fixed on Pannis’ face from under her rolled-up eyelids. One hand resting on her magic staff, the other swinging a blazing fireball at her waist. Vivian’s childish voice became unusually low, her laughter sounding like it was being squeezed out of her throat: "Hehe, we aren’t scary at all, we are just a few heartbroken girls who lost a team member, such people are to be pitied, how could they ever be scary."

"Yes indeed." Behind the two girls, Freya’s figure stood tall like a wall, casting a shadow over the two. Freya’s face carried a gentle smile, warm and friendly like a spring breeze, yet in her hand, she was assembling a crystal energy gun. Calling it a gun was a slight understatement, as it was much more terrifying than the one she used before, with a wrist-thick bore. Calling it a handheld crystal energy cannon would be more appropriate. As the sound of the metal parts clicking together filled the air, as the crystal energy cannon neared completion, Freya’s smile became even gentler: "Look how strong we are, even though our teammates have died tragically, we still manage to keep a smile on our faces, so that our teammates won’t worry about us even after death. Such kind girls, could you really call us scary?"

"No, I think there’s been a huge misunderstanding here." Pannis shook his head vigorously, saying urgently: "Your teammate hasn’t died yet, you don’t need to be upset, you don’t need to be angry."

"Didn’t die? Impossible." Lina exchanged a confused look with Vivian before saying: "We witnessed the death of this teammate ourselves, how could he not be dead? Something must have gone wrong."

"Yes, yes, there must have been a mistake." Pannis sighed with relief and nodded: "I’ve been saying that there’s been a huge misunderstanding."

"Indeed there’s been a mistake." Vivian also nodded, saying: "In an experiment, when a mistake occurs, it’s necessary for the operator to manually correct it to eliminate the error and let the experiment continue."

"So, our current task is to eliminate the error, right?" Lina asked in a ’whisper’.

"Exactly, that’s it." Vivian replied: "It’s something we must do, and we must do it quickly."

"Wait a second, I suddenly feel something is wrong." Pannis had a bad foreboding, and with a forced laugh, asked: "May I know what you mean by eliminating the error? It’s not what I’m thinking, is it? Haha, it can’t be."

"There’s only one way to correct a mistake." Vivian stated as a matter of fact: "Look, the error is clear. A teammate that should be dead is not, that’s where the mistake lies. Once we find the root cause then it’s easy to sort out. In situations like this, the best course of action is to correct the teammate’s status to dead. This solution kills two birds with one stone by solving the problem quickly and without leaving any loose ends. It’s such a good method."

"Hey, this method is not good at all." Pannis retreated on all fours, hiding behind Catherine: "Catherine, you need to intervene, they’ve gone mad again, plotting to kill, it’ll be too late if you don’t step in."

Catherine adorably tilted her head and looked up at the sky with her hands behind her back, whispering in admiration: "The moon is so round tonight, watching the moon by the sea gives a different feeling than doing it inland. It’s really beautiful."

"Hehe, hehe." Under Pannis’ desperate gaze, the three girls approached him, each making a sinister and terrifying laugh, eyes flashing with ferocity, surrounding Pannis from three directions: "Accept your punishment, jerk."

"Help!" Pannis’ pitiful screams resonated through the desolate island, with a bloody and brutal scene unfolding at the source. Even the silvery moon in the sky quietly hid behind the thin clouds, as if it couldn’t bear to witness this human tragedy. The screams seem to spread across the entire island, startling the Sea Race members who had just recovered from a lengthy control and were still in a state of disorientation, looking around for the source of the screams. If it wasn’t for the Whale Crab Demigod’s imposing presence deterring the nearby Sea Race from gathering, the group currently beating someone would’ve long had a crowd watching.

"You humans, I don’t really mind your fights." The Whale Crab, silent until now finally spoke up, unable to bear it any longer: "But could you mind fighting after you’ve gotten off my back? Having people fight on my back isn’t very comfortable."

"Ah, so sorry, we forgot." The girls sheepishly stuck out their tongues and waved their fists in mock threat at Mr. Pannis, before hopping off the carapace of the Whale Crab. However, Mr. Pannis refused to get down, clinging to the back of the Whale Crab, sobbing, "I don’t want to get down, those three lunatics are waiting below. They’ll surely hit me if I get down, I’ll just stay here. Oh my, what are you doing? Don’t pull on my collar."

Catherine lifted Mr. Pannis by the nape of his neck, regardless of his cries and struggles, and dragged him to the edge of the Whale Crab’s carapace. She casually tossed him down, bowed apologetically to the Whale Crab’s retreating eye stalk and then hopped onto the ground. Finally rid of all burdens, the Whale Crab exhaled, suddenly enveloped in a mist of water. When the mist dispersed, the large body of the Whale Crab had disappeared, and a short, fat man, resembling a sphere, stood before them. The man had lost one eye, his limbs seemed intact, though there was always a limping feeling when he moved. There was a large hole in his back, but the bleeding had mostly stopped.

"My name is Matthew, the leader of the Melvis deep-sea Whale Crab tribe." The Whale Crab, now in its human form, spoke in the same deep tone as before: "Thank you very much, humans."

"Thank me for what?" Mr. Pannis, rubbing his battered face with a mirror he got from Catherine, grimaced and said, "Are you thanking me for beating you half to death?"

"Haha, although I was controlled, I still retain the memory of that time." Matthew laughed boisterously: "You clearly showed mercy. There were at least three opportunities to kill me, but you didn’t take them. Not only me, there were very few deaths among the rest of the Sea Race that were controlled with me as well. That’s why I’m thanking you for your benevolence."

"I don’t want to get yelled at by Doris." Mr. Pannis shrugged: "I had no other choice."

"Doris? She’s still the High Priest?" Matthew seemed taken aback but nodded: "True, only seventy years have passed, which makes it fairly normal for the High Priest to have remained the same."

"Seventy years? It seems you haven’t been controlled for long." Mr. Pannis said: "You ought to be the only demigod among the controlled Sea Race. Are there any others?"

"What do you mean by controlled?" Matthew, who was also confused, asked: "What exactly happened on this island? Are everyone on the island victims?"

"Priestess Doris is on her way." Catherine interjected: "It’s easier to explain everything when she arrives. For now, you only need to understand that you and many others have been broadly mind-controlled."

"Alright." Matthew nodded: "I can see that you’ve come with good intentions. Let’s wait till the Priestess arrives before we further discuss."

"Let me heal you first." Lina hurried over from the other side, "You’re quite severely injured in your Ocean Form though there’s not much I can do about your severed limbs, sorry."

"It’s alright, thank you." Matthew nodded: "Just heal the wound on my back, my limbs and eye will gradually recover on their own in a century. It’s as if we’ve taken a nap, so don’t worry about it."

"So I just need to heal the wounds on your body when in your terrestrial form? This is my first time healing a Sea Race, I’m not very clear on all of this." After getting Matthew’s affirmation, Lina began casting the healing spell, all while asking out of curiosity: "How were you controlled? Could you tell us?"

"Of course, no problem. Haha, I’m a bit muddled too." Mathew scoffed at himself: "Seventy years ago, right after I awakened from a deep sleep. For us, we’re always extremely hungry when we first wake up, so I began looking for food. As a result, when I passed by here, I was inexplicably controlled. All I had in mind was to protect the master. I heard it was you who saved me from the control, I haven’t had time to thank you yet."

"No need to be polite." Lina shook her head: "So, did you suddenly regain your consciousness just now?"

"Not exactly." Matthew replied, somewhat befuddled: "At first, all I had in mind was indeed to protect the master, but not long ago, while I was entangled with Mr. Pannis, I suddenly wanted to kill my opponent as quickly as possible, returning to the master’s side to worship him. Only after a while I regained my consciousness, and then I fought with Mr. Pannis for a few more minutes before finally getting back to normal. Did anything happen outside during this time?"

"Ah, no, nothing happened." The girls looked at each other and smiled, hiding the truth in their hearts. (To be continued.
