The crowd in front of the small TV: "..."
The player who commented on Bailiu just now was so irritated by this scene that he yelled, "Impossible! How can that discounted projector reproduce the light of the strong flashlight 100%! This is unscientific!"
"Hey, that's really funny, you came here looking for science? How many of the props are set scientifically?"
"...emmm, I just read the instruction manual of this projector, it said it is an optical projector, other places are very weak, but it has a miraculous effect on reflected light, at least 80% can be preserved."
"I don't read the instructions given by the system to step on newcomers casually, I'm a little speechless..."
"I couldn't resist buying three 3D projectors after looking at it..."
On the small TV next to it, the player who had just been praised for choosing the right prop was frantically waving a torch to force the mermaid back, while trying to read the newspaper in the hot pool, looking extremely flustered.
The wax figure of the mermaid is still approaching with a ferocious face and claws. The player is constantly being approached, as if he is about to die in the next moment. The scene is extremely thrilling and exciting.
Obviously, it is a scene that can lift the hearts of countless people, but just looking at Bai Liu's side, it will become subtle and dull.
Bai Liu asked himself three projectors to hold a flashlight and surrounded the mermaid wax figure like a policeman, while he unhurriedly shook out the newspaper by the hot pool and read it, as leisurely as if he was on vacation.
And the mermaid wax figure was weak and helpless in the middle of the encirclement, motionless.
The contrast is simply too great!

Someone looked at Bai Liu's small TV screen in a daze: "...I'm going, this is the first time I've seen a player in the newcomer area get promotion slots and enter the screen in the central game hall, although it's only in the peripheral area."
"I seem to be... witnessing the rise of a new star..."

["Siren Town Monster Book" mermaid wax figure panel refresh]
[Monster name: Mermaid wax figure (chrysalis state), amulet wax figure (cocoon state)]
[Weaknesses: Looking directly at the human eye, strong light exposure (2/3)]
[Attack method: hatching]
[Player Bai Liu is only short of one weakness, and he has collected all the monster books on the page of "Mermaid Wax Figure". After collecting all the monster books, the game ends and the corresponding rewards can be unlocked]
Bai Liu had long guessed that one of the weaknesses of the mermaid wax figure was fear of strong light.
It's actually pretty easy to guess.
The driver said before that some big fish came out at night because they were out of the light, and the mermaid fishing happened to be held at night. It is conceivable that most of the big fish like mermaids are also dark creatures.
But whether there is a commonality between the mermaid wax figure and the mermaid about avoiding light, Bai Liu has not easily drawn a conclusion.
So Bai Liu observed it, and he found that there were hardly any wax figures of mermaids on the streets of Siren Town during the day.
The hotel and the Siren Wax Museum have relatively insufficient light, and there are many mermaid wax figures, and he concluded that the mermaid wax figures have no sense of hearing or smell, but are extremely sensitive to vision, so they have great Strong perception of light.
The answer is almost in front of my eyes, things like mermaid wax figures are afraid of strong light.
After Bai Liu deduced this point, he tried to pursue the ultimate cost performance that he could take advantage of this weakness——
——How much light can drive back how many mermaid wax figures? How much influence does strong light have on the mermaid wax figure? How long can they be affected? If the mermaid wax figure forms an encirclement circle, can the strong light directly help him break out?
Therefore, Bai Liu conducted an experiment. He deliberately induced these mermaid wax figures into an encirclement circle, and then tried to use strong light and a 3D projector to break out of the encirclement.
Of course, there is a possibility of failure, but Bai Liu doesn't like to do things timidly.
According to his inference, this behavior has a success rate of more than 10%, so Bai Liu will take the gamble without hesitation.
If you fail, you will fail. If there is no risk, there will be no profit. This is normal. Playing games is a risky process, and so is making games.
However, his current attention is still on the softened newspaper in the pool.
After Bai Liu grabbed the newspaper, he tore it lightly with both hands on the back of the newspaper, and then it was separated.
Sure enough, this is no ordinary newspaper.
[Player Bai Liu completed the task of separating the newspapers in the hot pool, rewarding 10 points]
[Charging points 21, current point balance 31, whether to buy props]
Bai Liu nodded and continued to look down at the newspaper.
Bai Liu touched the two separated newspapers, the thickness was obviously different, one was much thinner.
He frowned slightly, clamped the thicker one, and tore it again—it separated again.
Bai Liu raised his eyebrows. He was almost confused by the reminder that the task was completed. There were newspapers glued together underneath. If he hadn't looked twice, he might have thought that he had already found all the information about this place.
This game is quite deceptive.
Bai Liu tore it seven or eight times, and the sink behind him was already full of soaked old newspapers. After making sure that there was no interlayer between the newspapers, Bai Liu quickly glanced at the contents of the newspaper.
All the headlines of the nine old newspapers in his hand were the "Missing Person Notices" reported by the police.
The earliest time tourists disappeared can be traced back to last year, which is the time when the Siren Wax Museum just landed.
At the beginning, there were not many missing tourists, and there were obvious signs of robbery.
It’s not a big deal for a popular tourist attraction to disappear so one or two tourists every month. This kind of crowded place has always been prone to crime, and it’s by the sea, whether it’s a normal thing to fall into the water or be kidnapped. These things obviously need to be reported and registered...
However, judging from what Jeff told Bai Liu, before last month, the outside world did not know that so many people had disappeared here, and the tourism industry was still vigorously developing.
It wasn't until the number of tourists and missing tourists here gradually increased, and weird things happened frequently. Last month, there were twelve registered missing people in Siren Town alone, and then a big report came out.
If Bai Liu's guess is correct, the disappearance of tourists before was caused by Mayor Harris, who loved the people like a son, and used some means to suppress it in order to continue to develop the tourism industry.
Judging from the information in the newspaper, the townspeople here are really good at crime.
Bai Liu put away the newspaper and the projector, and held the flashlight to shine on the mermaid wax figures in reverse. After the mermaid wax figures did not move, Bai Liu came out from the corridor and went to the central exhibition hall of the Siren Wax Museum where Lucy and the others were.
It is said that there is only one mermaid skeleton in the central exhibition hall, and it is placed in a tightly locked bulletproof glass cabinet. It is the perfect mermaid skeleton that the driver said they caught, and it is also the beginning of everything.
This skeleton is like a gift from the sea to Siren Town. It brought wealth to Siren Town, but it also brought bad luck, but everyone only saw the wealth it brought, but no one realized it. This is where their current misfortune comes from.
Bai Liu paused as soon as he walked in.
The central exhibition hall is a circular exhibition hall, and in the middle stands a glass cabinet like a crystal coffin. In the glass cabinet, there are dazzling white LED lights illuminating the mermaid [skeleton] at 360 degrees without any dead angle. It is rare for Bai Liu to bring Surprised eyes looked at this mermaid corpse called [Skeleton].
This cannot be called a skeleton, at least according to Bai Liu's standards, it cannot be called a skeleton.
Lucy looked at the mermaid in the glass cabinet with fascination: "He's so beautiful, I've never seen him like this...the perfect appearance, not even a computer-generated one."
Jeff seemed to be greatly shocked. The boy with thick glasses looked up at the mermaid in disbelief, and he didn't know how long he had been standing there.
Andre, as always, held an attitude of absolute denial and contempt towards this creature: "You have all been deceived, this is nothing more than finding a fish tail and sewing it on a human body and putting it in a glass cabinet. It's just a trick to attract people's attention..."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the skeleton in a daze for a while, and then said, "But it's really well done."
The corpse of this mermaid was soaked in a glass container. From its right hand to its shoulder, it was covered with white bones, and the rest of it was full of flesh and blood like a real person.
The muscle lines are elegant and sharp, and the well-proportioned muscles wrap the slender bones. Bubbles rise slowly in the deep dark blue liquid, and the bubbles float from the long dark brown hair of the mermaid, and finally embedded in its slender light-colored hair like a pearl. in the eyelashes.
Its eyes were closed, and its face was so exquisite and delicate that it was incredible. Some curly long hair fluttered across his thick and beautiful cheeks in the water, revealing a pair of ears that were different from ordinary people.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
