Chapter 23: Siren Town

After reading this Li Gou's biography, Wang Shun felt for the first time that having this skill that allows him to access a player's former [Know-It-All] is not a good skill.

This game is the desire of extremely strong people can come in, it can be said that this game is not a lack of vicious people, on the contrary, this is their best stage and battlefield, a lot of high players have stained a lot of blood in their hands.

Wang Shun looked a little worriedly at Bai Liu on the small TV screen and let out a long sigh.

The game over there hasn't logged out yet, and there's already a butcher over here to keep you guarded.

Bai Liu, you're a real badass.

[A high level player Li Gou is watching player Bai Liu's small TV, congratulations to player Bai Liu for getting the first high level player audience!

[Li Gou gave a stomp to player Bai Liu, crying, looks like this high level player doesn't like you]

----------

Bai Liu waits alone on the sea until dawn, and it is not long before the big boat that left last night returns, and he notices that Jeff and Lucy are both at the bow of the boat, and Jeff seems to be comforting Lucy, and his hand is already touching Lucy's shoulder.

And Lucy buried her head in Jeff's arms as if she were about to break down, and was gently soothed by him.

Jeff also occasionally kissed Lucy's crying face lovingly, and Lucy did not refuse, but also a little dependent on him to snuggle, watching this scene, Bai Liu slightly unnoticeable raised an eyebrow.

It seems that after one night, not only Bai Liu's side of the [ship of true love] has successfully landed, but Jeff and Lucy also seem to have boarded the ship of true love.

But when the ship approaches, Lucy and Jeff on top see Bai Liu, who seems to be sleeping peacefully under a blanket, Lucy screams sharply and pushes Jeff away, covering her chest.

And Jeff, as if in disbelief and great panic, took a few steps back, gesturing wildly with his hands, "Bai Liu, are you, are you okay? No, I mean, are you okay?"

Bai Liu calmly grabbed the rope ladder that had been lowered from above and climbed up, his meaningful eyes darted between Lucy and Jeff for a moment, and he gave a kind smile, "I'm fine, good morning Jeff, Lucy, I had quite a pleasant evening, and it looks like you guys did too?"

Lucy panics and prepares to lean in and wrap her arms around Bai Liu, who doesn't move to avoid it.

Lucy covered her face and cried, "No, last night Jeff told me that you and Andre were going to die, and I was so scared, I felt like it was all my fault, and Jeff comforted me."

Bai Liu seemed to be smiling, but did not pursue the question, his attention shifted to other places.

Lucy's face was white to the point of translucency, there was a weird kind of stuckness in her movements, and the texture of her touch in her hand was very much like the texture of the amulet mermaid wax figure that Bai Liu had touched in the bottom bin earlier, with a kind of crunchy, thin, paraffin wax feel like eggshells, and she didn't have that very strong smell of fish on her body any more.

Jeff started to get defensive as well, his eyes averted, "Yeah, Lucy thought something was going to happen to you and Andre, she just stayed with me because she was scared, we didn't have anything."

He gave Bai Liu a forced smile, "I know she's your girlfriend, I'm not going to do anything, you're my best friend, Bai Liu."

Bai Liu was noncommittal: "You guys spent last night somewhere? Siren Wax Museum, right?"

Lucy exclaimed, "How did you know?" .

Then Lucy started babbling and complaining, "Yeah, they wouldn't let us go back to the hotel, supposedly it's some custom here that after participating in the mermaid fishing event, you need to spend the night in the Siren Wax Museum in order to wash away the smell of the kill and the blood."

"The place is horrible, it's full of wax figures, it's like they move at night, and no matter where Jeff and I go, we run into wax figures stopping us in our tracks."

Jeff was still laughing stiffly, "Bai Liu, where's Andre? Where did he go?"

Bai Liu smiles, "He should be at the Siren Wax Museum right now, waiting for us."

Jeff glanced in disbelief at Andre's boat out at sea.

The boat was covered in black, paint-like blood, and there were strips of shredded leather that could be made out to be Andre's blouse.

Jeff's eyes flashed at the sight, and he couldn't help a quick and grim smile as he lowered his head.

Bai Liu surveys Jeff, and it's clear that Andre's death has given Jeff a great deal of satisfaction.

Soon, however, Jeff inclined his head over to Bai Liu again, feigning doubt, and he pointed to the boat, "But, Bai Liu, Andre's boat is still here, and there's no way he's going back to shore ......"

Jeff glanced timidly at Bai Liu, scowled, and stopped just short.

Lucy covered her lips with another exclamation of surprise, her voice was tinged with sobs, "Oh my god, Andre can't really be dead! Bai Liu!"

She looked at Bai Liu with some disbelief and disappointment: "You killed Andre? You didn't push him overboard, did you?"

Bai Liu thought she should want to cry, but her eyes were dry, right, how could a wax figure shed tears, Bai Liu thought idly.

Jeff looked at Bai Liu as if he was sad: "You shouldn't have done what you did, even though Andre is not a good person, he deserves the right to live."

Bai Liu let out a soft chuckle as he looked Jeff straight in the eye, "I might be able to return the favor by saying the same thing."

Jeff, look at him warily.

Bai Liu shrugged indifferently and smiled at Lucy, who was still accusing him, and said, "Wait until you get to the wax museum and you'll be able to see Andre, I'm not going to lie to you."

"Lie to you and we'll break up." Bai Liu said with a smirk.

Lucy hesitated, she swept a glance at Bai Liu's trouser pocket - that's where Bai Liu kept his wallet - and thinking of the high cost of the vacation, Lucy's mouth finally closed.

Bai Liu has figured out the last ten percent of the branch line [Jeff's bloody conspiracy].

He felt that he was still overestimating the humanity of this game's NPC setting too much, and this game actually didn't have a single teammate who was even slightly kind to him.

Bai Liu is used to being pressured by his superiors to glorify friendship and goodness when designing games, or at least to design a teammate who is purely a good person on his side, because that's the way the game will go.

I didn't realize it was an all-villain setup - Andre, who likes to use violence, Jeff, who is obsequious and ruthless, and Lucy, who seems nice to him but is dating him solely for the money and is ready to cheat on him at any time. ......

This everyone is no good setup he can really ...... Love it so much.

The corner of Bai Liu's mouth turned up.

Once you get out of the misguided thinking that [an NPC like Jeff who knows the mermaid setting should need to be kept until the end, then he must be a good guy], the last ten percent of [Jeff's bloody conspiracy] is pretty much a guess.

No wonder this Jeff guy has been guarding Bai Liu, and no wonder the progress bar for the previous mission, Bloody Conspiracy, went up strangely twice--because there have always been two people that Jeff has wanted to kill from start to finish, Bai Liu and Andre.

The driver was given the task of killing not only Andre, but also Bai Liu, which may have even included a series of operations such as robbing and distributing stolen goods.

Now go back and think about it, the player and his party come to tour the town of Siren, the initiator is the player himself is actually very strange, because the player is a in the setting of the very small guts, even get in the car to come to the town of Siren will howl man, is absolutely not pick the town of Siren this kind of bizarre place to bet.

The only other person, Andre, who obviously didn't know about this place, and Lucy, who was visiting for the first time, who knew anything about the place and would recommend it as a bet to test the waters, was Jeff, who had been steeped in mermaid research for years.

Bai Liu's role as a cowardly gamer is mostly due to Jeff's encouragement to come to the town of Siren to gamble with Andre.

Jeff's reasoning for picking Siren is pretty good: he's studied Siren, and he knows about the town's banditry and the police's difficulty in solving crimes, and the fact that no one has ever found any of the many people who have disappeared.

With this information, it is entirely possible to come to the conclusion that the town of Siren is the best warm nest for the destruction of the body.

There's no better place to dump a body than in Cylon Town.

Jeff, that mermaid-knowledge setting isn't meant to be a pass for players.

--rather, it's used to assassinate players.

[Side Quest - Jeff's Bloody Conspiracy, progress 100%, completed, 50 points earned]

[Unlocking the character's hidden status - Jeff, who hates everything]

Bai Liu swipes Jeff with a coin:

[npc name: Jeff (??????) status)]

[Character Summary: A strong fan of mermaids, sea monsters, and other unnatural creatures, after learning that Lucy and her group were going to Siren, she volunteered to go with them, and is very knowledgeable about the legends of Siren]

[HIDDEN SYNOPSIS: After years of being beaten up by Andre and not daring to fight back, Jeff hates everything in his heart. ......]

[...... After Jeff gained your trust by chance and became your friend, he became jealous of you who had a beautiful girlfriend and deep family fortune, resented you for not doing justice to his life, felt that you were nothing but a hypocrite, wanted to take away everything from you, and even wanted to use you to kill Andre.]

After encountering the opportunity of the bet between you and Andre, his heart was moved ...... He knows the perfect place in the world to commit the crime, and it won't be him who kills you and Andre, but the mermaid he loves so much, he decides to end your life and Andre's by choosing what he loves most ......]

After unlocking the subplot, the player is warned that Jeff's trust in the player is extremely low, and he is likely to attack the player, so please take care of your safety.

Wang Shun, who was guarding the small TV, came to a realization, "So that's what happened, I was just wondering why Jeff kept trying to get the players killed during the land chase later on, even God Mu almost got screwed."

Other players are also discussing complaints:

"Fuck! Jeff, you turned out to be this kind of persona! With that proficient mermaid info setup of his, I thought he was an NPC who couldn't just die given the info! I even saved him a couple times when I was being chased playing this game and almost got cold feet!"

As soon as the voices of the audience praising Bai Liu's discussion grew louder, Li Gou impatiently slammed his knife, and the room fell silent.

Li Gou looked at Bai Liu in the small TV holding his chest and snorted, "Not just a branch line, I thought it was so awesome, the forums are blowing it up to be the next Mu Sicheng."

"The guy who blew it hasn't played many games or been on a few promotional spots, right? He's the next Mu Sicheng? The next Mu Sicheng?"

Wang Shun opened his mouth, but closed it without retort as he shook his head helplessly.

Less insightful?

He had watched so many live videos of Siren Town, and knew that the only players who had beaten the near-complete branch were Mu Sicheng and this Bai Liu.

Mu Sicheng's live gameplay videos of Siren Town are in the system's VIP video library, and you have to pay 40 points to watch them.

This price is enough to show the value of the information inside the video, Mu Sicheng can hit the branch is definitely not something that anyone can easily hit, otherwise it would not enter the vip library.

And even Mu Sicheng himself, [Jeff's bloody conspiracy] this branch, Wang Shun remembers the follow-up God Mu ten percent is not through.

Mu Sicheng's playing Siren Town with a Lucky 56 already, and from Wang Shun's point of view, Bai Liu was able to play this far, at least in this game--

-- Bai Liu is far better than Mu Sicheng.
