Chapter 16: Siren Town

Bai Liu When buying props, I saw a highly popular prop called "Bubbles in the Water", which allows the player to breathe and float in a bubble for two whole hours, and also expels fish from getting close to them.

This prop has a good function, but with a price of more than seventy points and can only be used twice, it is also a consumable prop.

With Bai Liu's critical eye, this prop has no added value other than allowing people to breathe underwater, selling more than seventy points is pure extortion, whoever buys it is paying IQ tax to the game store.

Of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he doesn't know how to use water and doesn't want to jump in, simply because he, as a Grunts, naturally wouldn't do something so wasteful or go down this game design route that he finds so unattractive.

Bai Liu looks up at the door to the warehouse, which is really starting to creak, as if someone has come back and is preparing to lock it.

If it was an ordinary player, at this time, he or she was bound to be incredibly nervous and just want to run out of the room, leaving this pile of eerie, ghastly white old wax statues.

But Bai Liu calmly turned off the light of his flashlight, walked into the wax figure, found a dark nook, undid his shirt and wrapped his lower extremities in a gray cloth on the floor, pretending to be a wax figure, and didn't move.

And this group of cocoon mermaid wax figure's eyesight is not very good, blankly searched Bai Liu, did not find then also stopped.

The door to the warehouse swung open a few times and was slowly opened, and two watermen came down the stairs carrying a small, dim light, their voices whispering hoarsely:

"Counting the number of wax figures ......"

"Counted several times, can't be wrong ......"

"After tonight, there's going to be four more wax figures here, let's send these four over to the wax museum first, the wax figures over there have been guarding King Seiren for too long, it's time to come out and move around with their amulets ......"

"Keep a good watch on King Seiren, and don't ever let him wake up and go back into the water, or we'll all have to ......"

Two sailors stood on the upper steps of the warehouse, carrying little old-fashioned oil lamps of the kind that came down with straight eyes, and in this extreme lack of light Bai Liu could not for a moment tell whether the two men in sailor's garb were wax figures or real people.

They were so white, so white as to be impervious to dead white, that the veins on their faces and hands could not even be seen at such a close distance from the light.

Surely not human, Bai Liu thought to himself as he gave the two sailors a slight roll of his eyeballs to view them.

But it still wasn't quite right, these two sailors were still in human form, and the monster book said 【Mermaid Sailor】, Bai Liu frowned unnoticeably, his heart gradually surging with a not-so-right premonition.

One of the sailors is the one who told Bai Liu on the deck not to run around, his eyes are dead, his eyes won't move as if he is stiff: "Make sure these amulets are okay? If it's okay, then lock it up and fix it, lest there will be a wave hitting over the boat shaking and smashing it, last time it was smashing an amulet, that sailor is still in the sea and can't go ashore."

The two sailors walked over to the group of wax figures and began securing them directly with chains.

Bai Liu held his breath as he sighted on the open warehouse door and began to slowly move to lean that way.

One of the sailors, as if he had heard the wax figure talking, paused for a moment, frowned and turned his head to the wax figure and muttered to himself, "You say, you just saw a tourist come through here?"

Bai Liu's face sank for a moment.

A mistake, I didn't realize that these sailors could actually talk to their amulet wax figure.

It looked like the chase was a non-chase, but it had been much better than being on deck, there were only two sailors after all.

Bai Liu quickly rotated his brain, thinking about the best countermeasures, his physical fitness is so poor, the chase will certainly die, that is why he wanted to avoid the chase at the beginning, I did not expect that here is a dead end like a card ring, no matter whether it is to go or to stay, it must be chased.

You can't run, and you can't go up, because there are more sailors up there, so it's not a chase, it's a group attack station, and you'll have to jump overboard.

Bai Liu didn't want to jump into the sea, he thought calmly, so what should he do?

The sailor approached the wax figure, and suddenly, as if he had heard something extremely funny, he laughed in a low voice, which echoed in the bottom barn: "I didn't expect that an honored guest had entered the place in advance, and please don't be in a hurry, you'll come to this place sooner or later."

This sailor said while carrying an oil lamp to all corners, the obscure light of the oil lamp hit up from the sailor's chin, lining the smile on his face more and more eerie and horrible, ".... Please also come out quickly, the night fishing activity is about to start, the mermaids are waiting for you in the sea."

Bai Liu brainstormed that these sailors are clearly worse than those wax figures, and that these sailors are also a kind of monster, what are the weaknesses of these sailors?

Within a few seconds, the sailor was already about to walk in front of Bai Liu, Bai Liu simply took out his flashlight and aimed it at the sailor, but unfortunately the sailor just used his hand to block his eyes for a moment before putting it down as if nothing had happened, the smile on his face getting more and more secretive: "We're not like those things, we're not afraid of the light."

Weakness is not light, reaction to bright light looks no different than a human's, Bai Liu's mind races, and almost as soon as he puts down his cell phone he lifts the cask behind himself and smashes it, which smashes into the sailor's body and scatters into a pile of wood chips.

These two sailors had hard, solid shells, with none of the weaknesses of the mermaid wax figures, and it was almost as if they had been reborn from their cocoons.

The sailor looked straight at Bai Liu in the dimly lit warehouse, reached out his hand and took Bai Liu's wrist, turned his head sideways and showed Bai Liu a wry smile, the teeth in his mouth fine and sharp: "Come on guest, let's go watch the fishing, under the surface of the sea."

Bai Liu looked directly at the sailors.

Sailors seem to have no weaknesses, but they're not the kind of weaknessless demons that King Seiren is; after all, the system doesn't notify Bai Liu that Sailors are weaknessless demons as well, so the player is supposed to be able to fight back with what's at hand, or else they're out of luck.

But the sailor is soft and hard, and neither physical nor optical attacks are effective, which shouldn't be the case; according to Bai Liu's previous reasoning, mermaid sailors and mermaids should both be supposed to be photophobic, or they wouldn't come out at night.

Bai Liu doesn't think he's wrong in his inference, after all, the mermaid wax figure fearing the glare has verified the correctness of this inference, but these two sailors look straight into the glare without fear .....

..... Something hides their weaknesses for them ..... Earlier in the thread the front desk said that the amulet would help them withstand damage.

Bai Liu's mind turned to electricity, he searched among the wax figures for this sailor's wax figure, and found that there was a slight crack on the top of the head of one of the wax figures, as if it had been hit by a barrel of wine over its head, and the wax figure's expression changed from affectionate to agonized, with its hands blocking its eyes, as if it had been hit directly in the eyes by some kind of light.

Bai Liu's eyes glaze over as he delivers a diagonal kick, his gaze locking onto the wax figure of the sailor's amulet behind him, and with a hard flip, he kicks the mermaid wax figure in the face.

The wax figure of the mermaid fell down with a sound, and instantly crumbled to the ground, with putrid black blood flowing out of it. The sailor behind him, who was pulling Bai Liu's hands by the wrists, let out a sharp and miserable cry, a very high-frequency cry, like some kind of fish, which made Bai Liu's ears hurt.

It was as if this sailor had been smashed through his exoskeleton, and began to crackle and drop lime-like lobes downward, revealing his inner being.

Without a second thought, Bai Liu yanked the other sailor's wax figure out of his hands, grabbed his head and cracked it on his knee.

With a sailor that powerful as a body and a wax figure as a talisman that's as brittle as an eggshell, it's no wonder it's kept in the bottom bin for protection.

Both sailors let out a piercing chirp as that pure white complexion faded to a greenish-black color on their faces, their eyes migrating to the sides and eventually growing into their temples.

The "sailor", his body emitting a strong fishy odor, his lower body transformed into an eel-like slippery curly splotchy tail, his mouth a jagged tooth, crouching on the ground, with two strong bulging hands, moving like a gecko, quickly coming towards Bai Liu.

Bai Liu darted his flashlight on and darted it straight at his opponent, and the sailor, who had been unresponsive just moments before, shuddered and let out an even more piercing, shrill chirp.

After shattering the amulet that protected them, attacks like the glare were effective.

Bai Liu stands on the stairs and backs away slowly, aiming his flashlight at the two sailors who keep climbing like geckos on the floor. The sailors crouch on the floor, shrinking out of the light and hissing and growling unwillingly as they try to get closer to Bai Liu, who exits the bottom bunker with his back to the door, and then closes the door fast enough to keep it unlocked.

Even after closing the door, Bai Liu could hear the pattering of fish tails dragging on the floor from the bottom of the barn, as if a bunch of snakes had been kept underneath, and the door was shaken by the pounding.

Bai Liu came out from the stairs of the warehouse with his collar straightened, and Lucy caught Bai Liu instantly, and she took his arm as if complaining, "Where were you just now? They said the fishing is about to start."

"We've already arrived at that sea." Lucy said with a smile, her face had developed those fish scale-like lines, her eyes glowed scaly in the darkness of the night, and her grip on Bai Liu's hand had a strangely coarse and slippery feel to it, Bai Liu removed Lucy's hand without moving, and said, "Is that so?"

"Yes." Lucy laughed lowly, "The mermaids are here."
