Chapter 24: Siren Town

After Bai Liu disembarked from the ship, according to the sailors' [folklore] requirements, he needed to stay in the wax museum until the evening to wash off the killing sins of having viewed the mermaid hunt on his body before he could redeem himself and leave.

Lucy and Jeff traveled with him to the wax museum.

The wax museum in the early morning is dark and irrelevant. The sailor sends Bai Liu here, warns him not to leave until the evening, and leaves after asking the guard to keep an eye on Bai Liu.

Lucy curled up behind Bai Liu and whispered, "How come this wax museum is still so scary in the daytime?"

There are wax figures looking down on Bai Liu everywhere, and the faces of these mermaids are even more vivid than the ones Bai Liu saw yesterday.

Bai Liu noticed that the fish tails of two of the wax figures had become shorter, only the lower part of the knee was in the shape of a fish tail, and the thighs had become the shape of normal human legs.

Bai Liu added a glance at the faces of the two fish-tail degraded wax figures, which bore a subtle resemblance to Lucy and Jeff.

The wax figure has a strange smile on his face, looking straight at Bai Liu and Lucy and Jeff behind him.

Just as Bai Liu guessed, Lucy and Jeff who spent the night here were indeed [sacrificed] and turned into [mermaid wax figures amulets], while the mermaid wax figures who had enjoyed the [offerings] gradually turned into "Lucy" and "Jeff". The mermaid wax figures who enjoyed the sacrifice gradually became "Lucy" and "Jeff".

Now the wax figure should be in the intermediate transformation state of "breaking cocoon into butterfly", the "butterfly" in the mermaid wax figure is not yet fully hatched, and as the "cocoon" to be broken--Lucy and Jeff still have a tiny bit of the right to live.

Bai Liu didn't want the transformation of Jeff and Lucy to be completed, not because of some saintly save-everything idea, but because once the transformation was successful, there would be two more more [Butterfly] type monsters that he would need to deal with that were more powerful.

With this in mind, Bai Liu takes out a flashlight and prepares to push back the mermaid wax figures.

As a result, the moment the light was turned on, Lucy and Jeff went crazy before the wax figure, they howled miserably, Jeff even rushed up like crazy and tried to snatch Bai Liu's flashlight, Bai Liu dodged in time, turned off the flashlight, and only then did these two people calm down in their last breath.

Lucy limps weakly to the ground, she tilts her head and looks at Bai Liu with a hint of resentment in her eyes, "Your flashlight is too bright, Bai Liu, are you going to blind us?"

Jeff is even holding on to a wax figure and warning hysterically, "You better never open this thing again!"

Bai Liu spreads his hands insincerely, "Sorry, I didn't realize you guys were so sensitive to light."

In fact, Bai Liu of course knew that Jeff and Lucy would be afraid of light after waxing, but he didn't care if they would be harmed, but he didn't expect that they would resist so fiercely to grab his flashlight.

These two people are different from the real mermaid amulet wax figures, they can move and their speed is not slower than Bai Liu, if Bai Liu turns on the light these two people go crazy and grab the flashlight, then Bai Liu has no way to turn on the light.

This limits Bai Liu's use of props.

It seems that the plot has progressed to the point where the game is clearly restricting the player's use of the flashlight, a prop for holding back the mermaid wax figure, through Lucy and Jeff, and that would suggest that there's likely to be a subsequent chase about the mermaid wax figure, and that the game bans the player's bright props in order for the chase to have an exciting effect.

Bai Liu often does this when designing games, for example, if you give a demon-shining mirror to force back a demon, then in order to have the scary effect of the demon scaring the player, Bai Liu will make the demon-shining mirror have a CD (a resting period after using it once).

The horror of the game increases dramatically when the player is forced to hide during the CD to avoid being found and killed by the demons.

Although Bai Liu had a great time designing this wickedly funny plot, it was not so pleasant when he encountered it himself.

Bai Liu put away the flashlight and held up his hands to show that he would not turn on the light easily. At that time, Bai Liu subconsciously swept his eyes to the entrance of the wax museum, which was already guarded by the wax figures, and the wax figures were still approaching him.

This way, if you turn on the light, Lucy and Jeff will attack you, if you don't turn on the light, you can't repel the mermaid wax figure, and Bai Liu will have to wait here until nightfall before he can be released, so he's bound to die.

Not only because these mermaid wax figures will come over and possess Bai Liu, increasing his alienation and turning him into a talismanic wax figure, but also very importantly-

Bai Liu flips the coin in his hand and the panel pops up--

[Warning: The divine npc King Seiren will awaken in seven hours. Players are requested to clear the level before then]

As soon as this warning popped up, a gasp went up in unison from the new audience in front of Bai Liu's little TV.

Even Li Gou also stood up dragging the knife squinting close to the small TV to see, not a few seconds to burst out a burst of laughter: "actually is really god-level NPC, this person to be god-level NPC day dead, the turn is not my turn to mess with him, told you to rob my position, live his mother should."

The rest of the audience was choking:

"This place was originally a player in the wax museum this map everywhere hide and seek meteo until the night was released, and then by the mermaid wax statue night battle royale, escaped from the town of Siren even if the pass, but there is a god level npc, this person simply meteo not at night."

"But just escaping the town of Siren playing is NORMAL END, with a low rating and reward."

"I heard that God Mu played the true end, it is said to be the Siren banshee's corpse back to the sea to seal the ghost of the whole town to be considered finished, but this fucking, Bai Liu here banshee directly into the King Seiren, the King Seiren woke up directly gg, but also play the fart ah! "

"He can't go either way, this new guy is going to DIE."

Wang Shun's heart lifted high.

He didn't expect Bai Liu to actually go to the wax museum honestly!

If Bai Liu runs away in the middle of the way, directly stimulate the chase to run out of Siren Town, there may still be a ray of hope.

Now it's a dead end for the wax museum.

Wang Shun sighed with regret in his heart, he objectively admitted that Bai Liu was a very promising player, not even inferior to Mu Sicheng, but Bai Liu lost a bit of luck.

-----

Bai Liu walks in the direction of the center hall, followed by Lucy and Jeff.

In the central gallery, King Seiren's body floats in a clear, low-fluidity liquid and is housed in a glass case.

Fine bubbles snowflake-like floated between King Seiren's long hair and light-colored eyelashes, as if a small layer of snow had fallen on his body.

Bai Liu walks over to King Seiren's display case and looks up at the mermaid's body, which has not yet fully decomposed, from a close distance.

This mermaid's face was beautifully excessive, with a kind of regal strangeness, as if the next moment this mermaid would open his eyes, fan off this bulletproof glass coffin that imprisoned him with his long and powerful fish tail, and return to the sea after a great slaughter.

Lucy looked around and asked Bai Liu, "Bai Liu, you said Andre is here in the wax museum, where is he?"

Bai Liu didn't turn his head back, his gaze still falling on King Seiren in the display case, and said faintly, "Didn't you already pass him when you came through the door? Jeff even gave him a hand up."

"I held up on him?" Jeff pointed to himself suspiciously, "Bai Liu, there's no one else in this wax museum besides the three of us."

"Right." Bai Liu casually echoed Jeff, "When did I ever tell you that Andre is human now?"

Lucy rubbed her arms in her arms and winced in fear as she took two steps back, "Bai Liu, you've got to be kidding me, where the hell is Andre?!"

Bai Liu seemed to hear the dull shuffling movement of the wax statue, and the tips of his ears twitched as he turned his head.

A hideous wax figure of Andre the Mermaid stands behind Jeff and Lucy with its teeth and claws, seemingly ready to attack Lucy and Jeff.

Bai Liu tickled the corners of his mouth good-naturedly, "Lucy, Andre is behind you."

Lucy and Jeff subconsciously turned around, then erupted into an unprecedentedly intense duet of male-female screams as Bai Liu predictably plugged his ears.

Andre's skeleton was taken by that group of mermaids last night, and last night the Cylon Wax Museum got two fresh offerings, namely Jeff and Lucy.

Logically, there should be two mermaid wax figures in the Siren Wax Museum that can leave the wax museum by possessing the sacrifices, so it's only natural that Andre's skeleton would be made into a mermaid wax figure to fill in the gap into the wax museum, that's why Bai Liu said earlier that Andre went to the wax museum.

But while Lucy and Jeff's possessed wax figures didn't leave though, Andre made a mermaid wax figure to fill in.

Behind Andre, there is a large group of wax figures trying to get inside, standing densely in front of the entrance to the exhibition hall, all of which are beginning to bear a subtle resemblance to Bai Liu's face, obviously trying to attach themselves to him.

Bai Liu raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, dodging Lucy who tried to grab his arm and howl.

These wax figures are not at all dangerous for Lucy and Jeff, as these two are now wax figures in the first place, and it's just a matter of time before they become fully wax figures.

Bai Liu had more trouble because the wax figures were on the opposite side of the room from Lucy and Jeff, and he was restricted from using a flashlight, and the alcohol wouldn't burn the wax figures.

The resistance of these wax figures was much stronger than the mermaid larvae, and the only method Bai Liu could currently use to counter these wax figures was [Human Eye Direct View].

And [Human Eyes Directly Viewed], a method of restricting the movement of wax figures, actually has a big loophole - that is, people blink.

Jeff and Lucy can no longer be considered human beings, so their direct eye gaze is useless to these wax figures, only Bai Liu's eyes are useful.

Every time Bai Liu blinks, he can feel the wax figures getting closer and closer to him.

In the dimly lit room, the wax figures of mermaids of all shapes and sizes began to melt slowly, their faces becoming strangely disfigured and subtly resembling Bai Liu's, with a strange, insatiable smile on their faces.

The wax figure's long fish lips cracked out a full row of white, sharp teeth, the scales on the fish's tail began to flake off and disappear in a crumbly manner, and the smell of fish grew strong in the air.

Lucy and Jeff were sticking close to Bai Liu's left and right sides, as soon as Bai Liu took out his flashlight and hadn't forced back the mermaid wax figure, these two would be the first to go crazy.

Of course, Bai Liu didn't think of killing Lucy and Jeff directly, but after killing these two mermaid amulets, the mermaid wax figures corresponding to these two amulets will instantly go berserk, and there will be two more mermaid sailor level monsters in the wax museum.

This thing moves fast, Bai Liu's physical strength panel is still red, once encountered, there is no bottom warehouse kind of terrain advantage, he will definitely gg.

Seeing this, Wang Shun closed his electronic recorder, sighed with mixed feelings, and prepared to leave.

Like Wang Shun, many viewers were ready to leave, and few were interested in a gameplay video with a foregone conclusion.

But before he leaves, Wang Shun looks up at a small TV.

Wang Shun was stunned, he stopped in his tracks and muttered incredulously, "Bai Liu ...... He stopped in his tracks and muttered incredulously, "Bai Liu Why are you laughing?"

Bai Liu lowered his head and slowly hooked out a smile, he felt that this game was quite interesting up to this point.

Not a bad game, he hadn't played a horror game with this kind of gameplay in a long time.

His fingers flipped coins at a rapid pace and panel after panel flew out, dazzling the audience in front of his small television.

A spectator curiously approached the small TV screen to see what he was doing:

"Is this panic? In a death throes?"

"Props store, monster book, quest panel ...... Wow, all the panels are clicked out, what's this, spend all the points to have a good time before you die?"

Wang Shun didn't say a word as he watched Bai Liu on the small television with bated breath as he re-pulled out his electronic recorder.

He could clearly see that Bai Liu was dealing with the situation in front of him at breakneck speed, and it wasn't at all what the other viewers were saying that Bai Liu was panicking; Bai Liu was just dealing with things at such a high speed that it looked like he was just messing around.

At this point, Wang Shun is also nervous, and he's starting to expect Bai Liu, the amazing newbie, to miraculously turn the tide against the wind.

Bai Liu handled it calmly:

I need a pickaxe that can break bulletproof glass.

[17 points, sold]

[I need a mobile cart almost two meters long that can haul giant animal carcasses]

Seven points. Sold.

Bai Liu's speedy maneuvering made the players in front of the small TV go numb, the players who were laughing before were also silent now, all of them watched intently as Bai Liu's face with a smirk switched between different panels with ease and speed.

Different colors of panel light reflected on Bai Liu's face, cutting Bai Liu's face into pieces. The sense of calmness in his body was so convincing that anyone could tell Bai Liu wasn't messing around anymore, and several players' voices weakly inquired, "What the hell is he up to?" ....."
