Bai Liu glanced at it and said, "This is his second dinner tonight." The first meal was taken by Andre from Jeff.

Zeref, who was robbed of dinner, moved a little when he heard this, lowered his head and covered his face, and there were also gill-like lines around his ears, and Jeff's gills seemed to have opened for a moment because of anger. , the teeth became as sharp and fine as a shark.

But such a creepy scene was only for a moment. When Bai Liu looked over, Jeff lowered his head timidly, covering his face as if nothing had happened, but the corner of his eye was still strangely lingering in the rearview mirror Reflected on the face of the white willow.

[Jerph's bloody plot, branch progress 50%]

Bai Liu frowned unobtrusively—why did the progress of this task increase just now, and now it has increased again?

Jeff should have decided to attack Andeva once before, but why did he raise it this time?

———————

When Bai Liu and the others arrived at the port, when they got off the car, he remembered the fact that the driver's trust in him was extremely low. Thinking that the driver in [Jerf's Bloody Conspiracy] was probably involved, Bai Liu still wanted to take the driver, an important npc The trust level is brushed up.

So when he got out of the car, he handed over money to the driver as a tip in the name of thanking the driver, but the driver looked at the money that was not given to him in Bailiu's package with serious eyes, and finally cracked a ferocious smile and kissed After receiving the tip Bai Liu gave him, he waved it and said, "I wish you all a good time."

[Jerph's Bloody Conspiracy - 80% progress in branch line]

Bai Liu thought to himself that the townspeople here are indeed robbers, their eyes glow green when they see money.

He didn't seem to see the driver's greedy eyes on the banknotes in his pocket, and he opened it openly for the driver to see, with a smile as usual on Bailiu's face: "We will."

The place to watch mermaid fishing activities is on a huge ship.

The giant ship slowly left the port at night, the deck was full of sailors coming and going silently, and some of the small boats under the ship were full of fishermen who looked like fish.

Bai Liu and the others probably boarded the boat after it was completely dark, and the fishermen on the small boat below kept looking straight at Bai Liu and his party on the deck.

There is an essential difference between the sailors on this deck and those fishermen on the ground. The most important thing is that these sailors look like people instead of fish, and there are no weird patterns on their faces, and there is no fishy smell on their bodies, but their skin is white. Point, very similar to the hotel receptionist who said he had albinism.

Bai Liu observed carefully, there were actually not many people on this huge ship, and he didn't know why it was necessary to drive such a large ship when it came out to fish...it was too wasteful.

And there is something wrong with this boat, Bai Liu noticed it when he got on the boat, the draft of this boat is too deep, there must be something very heavy on board.

The sailors walked back and forth on the boat expressionlessly, as if they hadn't seen Bai Liu and his group. Occasionally, Bai Liu would find a few sailors standing in a dark corner looking at Bai Liu and them with strange eyes, and then Whispering with the sailor next to him, he smiled contentedly and weirdly.

The boat sailed.

The sea is calm in the middle of the night, and the light from the searchlight on the bow can only illuminate a small area of ​​the sea. Other than that, there is darkness that seems to swallow this giant ship. The sailors assigned work in an orderly manner, and the fishermen beside the boat laid their fishing nets.

The ship sailed into the bottomless night.

Lucy was standing next to Bai Liu in a cloak, her lipstick-covered lips were blown purple at the moment, and she huddled beside Bai Liu to keep warm: "Why is it so cold, Bai Liu, I just asked them, and they said they wanted to fish The mermaid will sail the boat to the sea area where the first mermaid was caught, and only from that place can the mermaid be caught, and they call that sea area [Siren’s Gift], as if there is a legend.”

Bai Liu turned her head: "A gift from the Sirens?"

"Yes." Lucy pulled the cloak closer, and she said shiveringly, "God, it's so cold, I feel like I'm going to hell full of ghosts, only there can be such a cold wind .”

Bai Liu didn't feel cold, he suddenly thought of something, and swept Lucy with a coin.

[npc name: Lucy (alienating)]

Bai Liu reached out to touch Lucy's hand, her skin was cold and smooth, like newly solidified wax.

Lucy smiled and looked at Bai Liu. She probably wanted to frown, but the muscles on her face were as stiff as corpses, which made her expression very strange, like an abstract figure painting by Picasso.

Her voice also became hoarse, with inexplicable eagerness: "Your hand is so warm, can I kiss you?"

Bai Liu declined politely: "No." He found an explanation for himself, "There are too many people here."

Lucy wasn't blown cold, but her body temperature was dropping.

Jeref, who did not know when he appeared next to the white willow, looked at the sea in front of him with a very fanatical gaze, and he murmured in a low voice: "Yes, a gift from the siren, it is said that the sea here is a gift from the king of the siren." , can bring the dead back to life."

"When tourists who accidentally fell into the water and drowned die in this sea area, the Siren King will give them the power of rebirth, and they will turn into mermaids and return to the world, so fishermen can catch mermaids here."

Bai Liuxin said that the Siren King had already been picked up and placed in the wax museum, why does this sea area continue to produce mermaids?

And it was when the Siren King was caught ashore that this sea area began to produce mermaids continuously...

And the dead ghost turned into a mermaid and returned to the human world. This doesn't sound like a story of "blessing from the gods" at all. This story is more like a curse/cult myth.

Bai Liu made up a logical follow-up to this story in his mind—the dead people turned into mermaids were picked up and poured into marble to make wax figures for tourists to visit, and some mermaids were directly made into food and were taken by the town. The townspeople in the town used it to eat it, and then these mermaid wax figures finally started to make trouble, and the tourists in the town began to disappear one after another...

This doesn't look like a gift from a siren, but rather like a mermaid's revenge.

The sailor suddenly came over and said: "We are going to the Siren's gift sea, please don't walk around on the boat, otherwise we will not be responsible for what happened."

After speaking, the sailor left, and Bai Liu found that all the sailors had gone to the bottom of the ship, and the deck was suddenly empty.

Bai Liu narrowed her eyes, circled around the boat a few times, pretending to follow one of the sailors casually.

The sailors all went to the lowest cabin, that is, the warehouse. These sailors walked down the wooden ladder one by one to the cabin with no emotion on their faces, and then came out one by one, accompanied by some whispers:

"Mine... no problem."

"...just make sure these things are okay."

"A few were broken before, but it doesn't matter. After the four people who came tonight are eaten, new ones can be put in."

This group of sailors seemed to be checking something important, and then came out one by one after checking.

Bai Liu hid in the corner, squinted his eyes, and thought to himself that there was something very heavy in the bottom bin, which was heavy and very important... Bai Liu vaguely guessed what it was, but he still didn't know why these sailors had to go out to fish. with this thing.

After all the sailors had left, the last sailor seemed to have forgotten to lock the bottom compartment and left.

The lock is just hung on the door of the bottom warehouse, shaking back and forth with the waves, it seems to be saying to the player Bai Liu, come and explore me~ come and explore me~

Bai Liu opened the door and went down. After going down, there was a long, narrow wooden staircase, which creaked when walking, leading to the bottom warehouse that could not be seen clearly. There were no lights on both sides. The whole structure was like a cellar. Bai Liu did not go down. Instead, he turned on the flashlight to see if there was anything in the bottom bin as he expected.

He turned on the flashlight and looked down, even though he had expected it, Bai Liu's breathing was still suffocated.

The warehouse is full of all kinds of mermaid wax figures. These wax figures are packed densely throughout the bottom warehouse. At a glance, there is almost no place to stay, and they are all white wax figures.

And these mermaid wax figures all stretched their heads and raised their heads, their white eyes looked directly at Bai Liu, and Bai Liu found that there were obviously more wax figures around the stairs where he was standing.

The mermaid wax figure is like a school of fish swarming after smelling the fishy smell. Two of them have already walked up the stairs where Bailiu is, and retreated again after being dazzled by the light of the flashlight.

But the light of the flashlight can only illuminate one place. In the dark place in the warehouse that cannot be illuminated, there are constantly rustling and rubbing sounds against the ground. More and more people are gradually gathering on the stairs where Bai Liu is. Wax figures of mermaids, they are like fish looking up to eat bait, staring at Bai Liu.

But Bai Liu did not return, he also stared at the faces of these wax figures for a while, then suddenly put down the flashlight, walked down, and stretched out his hand trying to touch the wax figures.

Wang Shun who was watching in front of the small TV: "!!!!"

Four intense beams of light fiercely irradiated the mermaid wax figure from four directions, and for a moment the small TV screen of Bailiu was much brighter than the one next to it, pure white and dazzling, making it impossible to look directly at it.

Under the strong beam of light, the wax figure of the mermaid raised her hand stiffly and paused, preparing to block her eyes.

The eyes of the wax figure were even dimmed by the glare of the flashlight. They began to retreat and curl up, like poor criminals surrounded by the police, curled up in the center of the bright light, and even some wax figures of mermaids tried to bury their heads in their arms.

And Bai Liu squatted in front of these wax figures like a big devil, and said with a smile: "I guessed correctly, you are really afraid of light."

The crowd in front of the small TV: "..."

The player who commented on Bailiu just now was so excited by this scene that he blushed and yelled, "Impossible! How can that discounted projector restore 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 says it is an optical projector. Other parts are very weak, but it has a miraculous effect on reflected light. At least 80% of it 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, teeth 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 if you just take a look at Bai Liu, it will become subtle and dull.

Bai Liu asked himself three projectors to hold a flashlight to incense/surround 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.
