Chapter 26: Siren Town

In the rain, far away, another beam of light came from the opposite direction and merged with the one in the alleyway, merging into an intense beam of light on the avenue of the town of Siren.

The light-fearing mermaid wax figure was almost immediately stopped from moving forward by this light.

But this blinding ray of light almost penetrated the entire town of Siren, so these light-fearing mermaids were completely locked behind the ray of light, and could no longer advance beyond the beam of light to catch up with Bai Liu.

Even the mermaid sailors, who were protected by amulets and were less afraid of the bright light, did not easily cross the light, but hovered around there cautiously to test the waters.

On the other side, Bai Liu is leaning against the wall, breathing heavily, and a 3-D projector is placed at the foot of the wall next to him. The Bai Liu in the projector is taking out his flashlight and shining it, and the beam of the flashlight of the Bai Liu in the alleyway is merging, forming this strong roadblock light.

He wiped himself from the rain dripping from his forehead, Bai Liu let out a long breath, "Luckily this 3d projector is waterproof."

Bai Liu's small TV was still showing the bright beam of light that could have blinded anyone.

The audience in front of the small TV was silent for a few seconds, and the audience member who had questioned whether Bai Liu would still be caught up was dumbfounded and froze for a long time before stuttering, "Good, great ......"

"I was skeptical of God Mu's vision before, I was wrong, it was me who had the eyes to recognize the gold and jade, the dish is not this player, it's my vision, I'll go back and get my eyeballs under the meal."

"This newcomer is the kind of player in the Dead Comedy Zone, right? I feel like he's really playing this horror game as a game, it doesn't matter if he wins points or not, the most important thing is the game experience."

"Interesting." Mu Sicheng smiled and narrowed his eyes, the tiger teeth at the edge of his mouth biting into the candy, "The rainy day is obviously a condition given by the system to restrict Bai Liu, but it was actually used by him to utilize it in reverse."

Bai Liu dragged the cart all the way to the beach, and after a moment of hesitant wandering behind him, the mermaid sailor eventually crossed the beam and pursued him - mermaid sailors are not afraid of the light.

But the light-fearing mermaid wax figures did all get stuck behind the beams all together, and the danger has been reduced a great deal here.

At such times, the player simply needs to immediately go down into the sea and send King Seiren to the bottom of the ocean to pass the level, as most players who play here are highly alienated and are in a form that more closely resembles a mermaid, so they can simply go down to the sea and send King Seiren back to the deep sea.

Seeing this, Wang Shun realized why Mu Sicheng had said that it was best not to bleach spirit values.

Because the spirit value is tied to the alienated state, if it drifts the player's spirit value back up, it will change from the state of [Mermaid] back to the state of [Human].

[Man] cannot go into the deep sea and send King Seiren back.

The last part of "Siren Town" that sends King Seiren back can only be done by a mermaid, and Bai Liu's degree of alienation is just right, so he doesn't need to float, and he can go directly into the sea as a mermaid.

Wang Shun thought of this and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was fortunate that Bai Liu had not floated, and a few moments of shame at his own finger-pointing.

Mu Sicheng This kind of big god's game sense, really not his kind of shrimp can be compared, but Bai Liu a newcomer, actually can also steady not drift ......

People are so angry with each other, Wang Shun shook his head.

Logically, at this time, Bai Liu only needed to drag King Seiren down to the sea, and at the same time try to avoid the mermaid sailors behind him, but Bai Liu, when he reached the beach, actually made a turn and did not go down to the sea, but instead went up to the big ship that Bai Liu boarded before the mermaid fishing activity!

The big ship was docked on the beach, and Bai Liu, pulling a cart, huffed and puffed his way to the ship!

That's the home base for mermaid sailors!

Wang Shun is simply going to be given a heart attack by Bai Liu's twists and turns, and he covers his aching heart: "It's almost time to pass the level! Why did he go to someone else's ship! Why did he go to someone else's ship?

Mu Sicheng was also shocked by Bai Liu's passionate death-defying maneuver before passing the level, so much so that he didn't hold still and bit the lollipop, and choked and coughed several times on the crushed sugar.

Mu Sicheng hammered his chest a few times with reddened eyes, and after barely swallowing the crushed candies that had gotten stuck in his throat, he coughed and said, "At this time of the day Bai Liu going down to the sea rashly is indeed very easy to be caught by the mermaid sailors behind him, as mermaid sailors will move much faster in the sea."

"The regular way to get through is to use some props to limit the movement speed of the mermaid sailors, such as floating on the surface of the sea and limiting it with fiery torches like that newbie before, or just fight it hard, as long as you don't run out of spirit value before completing the quest."

"Bai Liu should be trying to get on the boat to get rid of the mermaid sailors behind him." Mu Sicheng organized his analysis clearly, "But getting on the boat won't work. Mu Sicheng analyzed clearly, "But getting on the boat won't work, firstly, there are still some mermaid sailors on the boat who haven't gotten off the boat, and the boat is so small, once Bai Liu goes up, he will easily be caught by the mermaid sailors who are still on the boat."

"Secondly, mermaid sailors in the sea can also climb aboard, and since these monsters move faster than the ship, Bai Liu's move to get aboard doesn't make any sense."

As soon as Mu Sicheng's words left his mouth, Bai Liu in the small TV went out of order.

Bai Liu pushed the cart along the plank connecting the boat and the land, and ran towards the boat quickly, the mermaid sailors on the boat smelled the wind, and came to Bai Liu in front of him in a moment, and stretched out the sharp flippers to scratch Bai Liu's cheeks, and the mermaid sailors who were chasing after him also stepped on the plank, and looked like they were about to touch Bai Liu's shirt.

This wave of back-and-forth attacks Wang Shun watched with fear, but the person in question, Bai Liu, didn't even flutter his eyes, and unperturbedly pulled a 3d projector out of his pocket and flung it over to the side of the boat.

The projector landed and bounced twice, reflecting a projection of an equally provocative Bai Liu, and the mermaid sailor hesitated between the two for a moment, heading over to the other Bai Liu.

Wang Shun broke out in a cold sweat as he watched, and took out a towel to wipe his forehead, "Is Bai Liu going to do the same trick again, using the light from the projector to restrain these mermaid sailors, or is he just simply confusing the other side to stall for time?"

But soon he was confused again, "But mermaid sailors aren't afraid of light ah, even if Bai Liu this projection took out a strong flashlight, it wouldn't be able to stop these mermaid sailors who aren't afraid of light ah, the beams of light on the land didn't stop the mermaid sailors before, and it definitely won't be able to stop them here either."

"You're wrong, you recorded the page of the mermaid sailor's monster book, right? Take a closer look at that page yourself to see exactly what the weaknesses are."

Mu Sicheng eyes looked at Bai Liu with a calm face in the small TV and glowed slightly, he couldn't help but exclaim, "I know why he came on board, it's really powerful ah this guy, no wonder the system wants to weaken him like this."

Wang Shun hurriedly clicked on his electronic recorder, and he did indeed record the transcription of the page ["Siren Town Monster Book - Mermaid Sailor"], and he clicked on it to inspect it carefully:

The Monster Book of Cylon Town - Mermaid Sailor (3/4)

[Monster Name: Mermaid Sailor (Butterfly)]

Weaknesses: glare, amulets, King Seiren.

Attack: Biting and scratching (will trigger the alienation state with a certain probability after being scratched)].

"Eh, how strange." Wang Shun pointed to the [Weaknesses] item on the electronic recorder and muttered to himself, "The mermaid sailor's weaknesses clearly have a fear of bright light, so why did the mermaid sailor seem completely uninhibited by light when he was on land before?"

"Amulet." Mu Sicheng nudges Wang Shun, "With the protection of the amulet, the bright light does not work on mermaid sailors."

Wang Shun snapped to attention as he looked up at the small TV, "Yes! That's the one! So Bai Liu, this is going to-"

Mu Sicheng looked up at the small TV and smiled as well, "That's right, Bai Liu this is going to the bottom compartment of the ship, the bottom compartment is where these monsters put their amulets, he's going to smash the amulets of these mermaid sailors, then these mermaid sailors are unprotected, and the strong props in his hand can work to restrict the movement of the other side. "

Bai Liu in the small TV had already shaken off the monsters behind him and arrived at the bottom bin, he raised the pickaxe that had smashed the bulletproof glass high, and with a calm face he began to knock down these mermaid amulet wax figures below one by one.

The amulet wax statue shattered into stone chips under his feet, and as the Bai Liu in the bottom bunker cracked most of the amulets, the [Bai Liu Projection] on the deck duly brought out its flashlight, and it looked as if a pair of Bai Liu's were fighting a coordinated battle on the bottom of the ship's boat.

Bai Liu smiles and holds the flashlight flat, his hand on the switch, still in the same trigger-like position, and with a click, a straight, bright beam of light passes through all the mermaid sailors surrounding Bai Liu.

When the light came on, the mermaid sailors, deprived of the protection of their amulets, covered their eyes and fell to the ground, letting out harsh and ear-splitting wails, and even Wang Shun and Mu Sicheng and some audience members in the front rows raised their hands to block the light from the small TV, which was too bright.

"This new guy does things too ..... too ruthless." Wang Shun had a complicated mood, "I even feel a bit sorry for these monsters."

But those mermaid monsters soon began to swim on both sides of the light, and some of them even jumped into the sea, preparing to climb up from the other end to sneak up on Bai Liu.

This made Wang Shun frown, "Even with the addition of the flashlight, Bai Liu only has one beam of light here, and his 3d projector is also used up, although such a single beam of light can also restrict the mermaid sailor's movement, it cannot directly trap the other party as it did on the shore before."

Mu Sicheng calmly elaborated on the facts with his chest clasped, "Because two light sources, even if they were wired together, would not be completely restricting to these mermaid sailors, since the location here is on a ship, unlike in the town before."

"Bai Liu could just use the light to block off the road from the town to the sea, but on the ship if there's only one light, the mermaid sailors are able to escape into the sea from both sides of the light, not much use."

"Yes." Wang Shun dragged his chin in thought, "It's also too late to buy another projector to record at this point, so we'll just have to buy another flashlight so that the three rays of light can be connected to form a triangle, which will make a movie, and will trap the mermaid sailor inside the triangle of light connected to the ship."

"That's what I thought." Mu Sicheng nodded, "But at this time, if players want to buy a flashlight, they'll probably have to hemorrhage money, because the closer to the end, the more expensive the relevant pass props in the game store will be, for example, at this point in the time of Siren Town, a critical prop like a flashlight will start at a hundred points."

"One hundred points?!" Wang Shun stared in disbelief, "This is too expensive, isn't this a blatant rip-off?"

Mu Sicheng squinted at Wang Shun: "Then, at this critical moment, will you buy a flashlight with a hundred points?"

Wang Shun held his silence for a moment and popped out one word: "Buy."

Bai Liu took a pickaxe and dragged a cart out of the bottom warehouse, he had a flashlight in his hand, it seems that his idea was the same as Wang Shun and the others, this person came out and directly opened the system store to buy props.

As he was sliding through the interface, Wang Shun caught a glimpse of the price of the flashlight in Bai Liu's system store and couldn't help but spray, "Two hundred and fifty points for a flashlight? It's a points grab! It's too damn outrageous at this price!"

But after Bai Liu slid through the flashlight's sales interface without changing his color, Wang Shun began to worry again: "Eh, Bai Liu ah, expensive is expensive, expensive can save your life, after your wave of operation, pass 100% ah! Don't worry about the points!"

The other viewers are also very anxious, this is only a little distance from the pass, Bai Liu is still slow to choose props, flashlight is placed in front of a poor look can not afford to buy, to see everyone scratching his heart:

"Bai Liu! You don't care about this small amount of money! I'll give you a charge you buy it!"

"Come on, come on, come on! Give us a flashlight for the Bai Liu Droplet Fundraiser! The child is saving his life!"

"Fuck! You're rowing around picking and choosing who you want! Listen to me! One hundred points for the prettiest flashlight is fine! You'll be happy together! I'll charge you for it!"

Even Mu Sicheng tapped his [Points Wallet] panel, ready to recharge Bai Liu.

At this time Bai Liu's movements suddenly stopped, as if he finally saw the props he wanted, a little smile on his face, Bai Liu eyes firmly clicked a prop, buy.

[Does the player purchase high-definition reflectors?]

Bai Liu does not hesitate: [Yes]

[System alert: 3 points, thanks for your patronage]

Bai Liu placed the reflector in a corner of the boat, then tied the flashlight to the bow and flicked the switch on the flashlight.

The white bright beam of light from the flashlight shoots through the fog on the surface of the sea into the reflector, and is reflected out by the reflector, and eventually this light merges with the light from the [Flashlight Projection] on [Bai Liu Projection]'s hand.

The three bright and numbingly bright lights were like three high wattage LED lamps, forming an incomparably bright triangular high brightness area on the ship, circling the mermaid sailors inside. The mermaid sailor covered his eyes and rolled around on the ground wailing, but could not get out of the area in the slightest.

Bai Liu sits with one knee bent up in the bow, the sea breeze and heavy rain blowing his hair into disarray, his eyes hidden unreadable in the fluttering dark strands of hair, but his mouth smiling, "Be good and stay on board, sailors."

[System notification: As most of the monsters have been restricted by player Bai Liu's mobility, the heavy rain has lost its ability to weaken player Bai Liu, and the weather is now changing, please prepare for it].

[Weather changeover: heavy rainfall → sunny day]

The light rises slowly from behind Bai Liu, one foot on the cart, the other swinging out of the boat, the overlapping dark clouds falling in gold-leafed daylight, the rain dispersing, the sunlight pouring over Bai Liu's disheveled and disheveled face, paired with his scatterbrained expression that seems to be smiling and not laughing, there is something strangely regal about it.

[Player Bai Liu enters the final prologue of "Seiren Town" - Returning King Seiren]

After a short period of silence from the audience in front of Bai Liu's small TV, there was a frenzy of screaming and charging, as well as players hugging each other with excited high fives, and the number of likes climbing by orders of magnitude almost every second.

Mu Sicheng retracted his hand that was about to reward him, he stared blankly for two seconds and began to applaud with an uncontrollable smile, "That's really something, Bai Liu."

Wang Shun followed suit and began to applaud, his hands were red, he was really excited, sweat was coming down on his face.

The rest of the crowd was no better than Wang Shun, so excited that they looked like they were about to play "A Night to Remember" on the spot:

"Say it's raining and it's raining, say it's back to sunny days and it's back to sunny days! Are you the son of the weather Bai Liu!"

"Give Master Red! Explode for the master! Take Master's charging money, then give Master a charge at the forefront! Bai Liu, charge! I'm going to be on the list of new stars!"

Congratulations to player Bai Liu, who has risen in the promotion rank and has entered the highly recommended position in the single-player split-screen on the center screen of the central lobby.

[Welcome back to your original position, player Bai Liu]

---------- --

As soon as Bai Liu ascended to the push screen this time, almost all of the previous fringe area crowd followed Bai Liu.

This not inconsiderable number of excited little red-faced spectators traversed the entire gaming hall, attracting the attention of a number of passerby players who came over to ask what little television they were watching.

"What are you guys looking at? It's such a lively fight."

"Children of the Weather!" "Reflector God Fuck!" "God Mu just recognized the son of a bull!"

Players who asked: "??????"

What the hell is on that little TV you guys watch?

Running behind a surprising number of players joined out of curiosity.

The fastest runners were Wang Shun and Mu Sicheng. Wang Shun realized that Li Gou had also been there when he ran after him, and this person should have seen Mu Sicheng coming and hid behind him.

Now dragging the knife to follow the army to run, face dark and heavy to death, probably has seen Mu Sicheng to support Bai Liu, perceived Bai Liu is not a hard stump that he can casually take down.

Wang Shun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief for Bai Liu.

Li Gou's kind of player, Bai Liu is better to stay away from as much as possible.

By the time Wang Shun and his team got to the push position, the viewing area in front of Bai Liu's small TV was already full of spectators, including those who had followed them from the previous section but left halfway through, as well as Bai Liu, who had risen to the top in amazement.

And then there's the Central District Guild kangaroo audience who have sneered at Bai Liu before, calling him a low-grade aesthetic interest.

These viewers do not know what to think, obviously do not like Bai Liu, but Bai Liu rose to the center screen on the contrary, the first batch of viewers, these viewers are still congested in front of the front, to Bai Liu's small TV pointing and complaining loudly:

"Eh, why is it rising again, it's so annoying to watch."

"How can so many people give him credit? On what grounds? It's simply pulling down the average level of the strong push position, no I'm going to give him a stomp, hurry up and stomp him down."

"I just can't figure out, what's so great about pretending to be a bully? He actually managed to cheat tens of thousands of likes, and four or five thousand people have charged him, are they all idiots? Spending points on people like this? There's nothing else in life to waste is there?"

"So annoying, so annoying, so annoying, can he get off the powerplay position and get some players up here who are about the same level as God Mu."

This group of spectators had already interfered with normal spectators watching a small TV, but normal spectators generally didn't really want to clash with this group of psychopaths backed by a large guild, so they all endured it.

Mu Sicheng looked at the group of spectators, the corners of his mouth and the ends of his eyes turned down a bit, his complexion very slightly sunk down a bit, as if he was a bit displeased, but he still wore a smile on his face.

He casually removed his monkey hat and walked to the front row, turning to the group of high-flying spectators and smiling, very differently and courteously from before, he gave these spectators a salute with one hand on his chest and one hand holding his hat behind him.

Because Mu Sicheng was holding a stuffed monkey hat, the gentleman's salute looked a little funny, but that didn't stop these spectators from covering their mouths in amazement:

"God Mu!!! You're God Mu right! I can't believe you're actually watching his little TV!"

Then there's this direct in-your-face questioning, "God Mu, can I ask why you're recommending this player, it's really annoying and low to have no gameplay at all and keep taking up a strong single-player spot."

Mu Sicheng smiled, "Hello guys, I just heard your conversation too and felt a few moments of nostalgia."

The audience instantly climaxed the play and began to criticize Bai Liu:

"God Mu, you find this one annoying too don't you, just this kind of pretender, should have been dead a long time ago, taking up a position to keep a lot of capable ones from getting on."

"I'm having a lot of trouble scanning the live streams, I can't see any quality gaming streams anymore because of people like this taking up the screen! I just hope he dies quickly then drops out of the strong push list!"

"God Mu, why don't you just go into the game and start a live stream to squeeze him out!"

These people spoke with strong words and excited eyes, as if seeing Bai Liu, the newcomer, being squeezed out was like seeing a great thing - but suppressing newcomers has always been the favorite thing of these guild players, especially those who have little skills themselves, they would like to see all the newcomers die and not take up their Promotional bits.

"No, what I mean when I say nostalgic is-" Mu Sicheng's smile became tangible, a lollipop at the side of his mouth, his expression a little diffident, "because back then, when I first got on the Strong Push promotional spot, there were also a lot of center screen viewers stepped on me so much and scolded me so much."

The audience who had previously been talking at cross purposes seemed to have been strangled, and all of a sudden awkwardly retracted their tongues and looked at each other with eye contact.

Mu Sicheng laughed out loud as he looked at the audience who were blabbering in front of Bai Liu and banning their voices in front of him.

He smiled innocently and leaned forward slightly to ask a question of these audience members, "Do you know what happened to all these audience members who cursed me?"

These spectators looked straight into Mu Sicheng's roving, dark red eyes, creeped out and shuddered.

Mu Sicheng's pupils reflect a laughing cartoon monkey with very bright red eyes.

These front row spectators realized that the dark red color of Mu Sicheng's eyes was not the original color of Mu Sicheng's eyes, but was caused by the light emitted by the monkey in his eyes.
