The driver drove the car in front of a building smoothly and steadily: "The Wax Museum is here, get out of the car."

After everyone got out of the car, the driver said: "You visit first, just call me in the evening, I will pick you up to watch the mermaid fishing activities."

After he finished speaking, he drove away.

Bai Liu got out of the car and looked around. In front of him was a building that was so tall that he had to tilt his head up to be parallel to the ground to see the top. The English name of the museum.

[System prompt: Unlock the scene - Siren Wax Museum]

The painting style of the entire wax museum is the deep color of the sea, supported by a few thick granite columns on the top. Standing at the door, Bailiu can see many silhouetted mermaid wax figures inside, faintly displayed inside.

The decoration inside the Siren Wax Museum looks very new, but the outer wall looks a bit worn out, it is the kind of red wall bricks.

There were also a lot of old newspapers with missing person notices pasted on the wall, which were glued to Bai Liu's face when the wind blew.

Bai Liu took off the old newspaper from his face, and what caught his eyes was a line of notices in bold and bold.

[Police Notice: Twelve people are missing in Siren Town this month. Please report the missing persons who have seen the missing photos listed below to the police in time. All tourists please pay attention to safety when traveling in Siren Town, do not play with large fish, and be careful not to fall into the water]

Twelve black and white photos were published under the announcement, all of them were smiling happily as if they had just come to Siren Town for a trip, but the smiles of the people on the newspaper fell into Bai Liu's eyes through this yellowed old newspaper, There is an indescribable weirdness.

After Bai Liu carefully read the whole newspaper, he was going to put the newspaper away and put it in his bag. After folding it twice, Bai Liu suddenly felt that the folding feeling was not right, it was a bit too hard.

As a newspaper, even if it is dried and brittle by the sea breeze, it shouldn't have such a hard texture... as if it is not just a piece of paper.

Bai Liu looked through the cross-section of the newspaper.

The cross-section looks really thick, but there are no traces of multiple sheets. The main reason is that the newspaper has been blown so hard that even if there are multiple sheets, it cannot be easily seen.

Bai Liu put the newspaper away in her arms, and decided to find some warm water to scald it after entering the wax museum, to see if the newspaper had multiple layers and could be separated.

[Trigger the side mission - find the hot pool in the wax museum, separate the glued newspapers, reward 10 points]

The keeper of the Siren Wax Museum is an old man suffering from cataracts. His eyes are cloudy and white, but miraculously, there seems to be no major problem in seeing people.

As soon as Bai Liu and the others walked in, the old man quickly turned his head to look over. The keeper's eyes were empty, but there was a polite smile on his aging face. Lucy let out a small exclamation when he quickly approached this way.

The museum keeper looked strange and sighed: "It's been a long time since no one came here...Since there have been accidents last month, there have been no tourists coming to the Siren Wax Museum, and no new wax figures of mermaids have entered the museum for a long time."

Hearing this, Bai Liu asked, "Why hasn't a new mermaid wax figure entered the museum for a long time? Does this have anything to do with the absence of tourists?"

"Of course there is." The keeper's tone became agitated, and he even waved his stiff old arms and legs, "Without tourists, we seldom do such time-consuming and labor-intensive large-scale activities as mermaid fishing. If we catch it, we can't do it..."

He stopped suddenly when he said this, and no matter how many times he was asked this question later, he didn't say a word.

"Does the Siren Wax Museum have wax figures of mermaids coming in continuously?" Bai Liu immediately changed the question, "Is the capacity of this wax museum limited? If you keep adding new wax figures, you won't be able to put many. Wax figure."

"No!" The keeper had a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, his white eyeballs rolled in his eyes, and he aimed at Bai Liu, with a mysterious tone, "As many new wax figures come to this wax museum, as many old wax figures leave." This wax museum."

"The Siren Wax Museum is never full."

Bai Liu raised his eyebrows subtly, and continued to ask: "Then where do these mermaid wax figures go after they leave the wax museum? Will these wax figures be thrown back into the sea?"

The keeper stopped talking, as if he felt that he had said something he shouldn't have said.

But Bai Liu continued to ask keenly: "What will happen after the tourists come?"

"Nothing will happen." The keeper whispered to himself, "You will have a pleasant vacation in Siren Town, and then leave here."

When asked again, the keeper refused to speak again no matter what.

After Bai Liu asked where the hot water in the museum was, he gave up the routine, took the tickets and led the group behind him into the Siren Wax Museum.

As soon as he entered, Bai Liu saw a golden lacquered wax figure of a majestic middle-aged man standing at the door. This is a human-shaped wax figure in a suit and a hat. It is completely different from the mermaid wax figures that Bai Liu saw. It has no fish tail and is golden all over. With an official smile on its face, it is waving to the tourists who come in.

The lighting in the wax museum is very dim, and the light falling from the top casts unclear shadows on the face of the wax figure, making the polite smile on the wax figure's face weird.

Some brief introductions about the wax figure were engraved on the black stone platform, and Bai Liu leaned over to look at it—this is the wax figure of the mayor of Siren Town, which was completed when the Siren Wax Museum opened.

On the stone platform, some exaggerated tones were used to highly praise the mayor’s contribution to Siren Town, what was the salvage of the mermaid skeleton and vigorously developed the tourism industry, and what supported the construction of the very interesting Siren wax figure Pavilion, making the entire backward seaside siren town thriving.

There is also a carving on the stone platform-【Mayor Harris has the same unconditional love for every villager in Siren Town as he has for his own children】.

Bai Liu was watching seriously. Jeref, who had been silent all the way, suddenly approached Bai Liu and asked in a low voice: "Do you believe there are mermaids? Do you think the above mentioned things about Siren Town are true?"

Of course not all of them.

In order to promote the development of tourism, this kind of thing specially built to show in the wax museum, although it looks very serious, but it is almost enough to have a three-point truth. Most of them are false information fabricated by the local people. Hyped as a gimmick to attract tourists.

But this is a horror game.

Bai Liu: "I think it's true."

Andre hugged his chest and snorted heavily, as if he was mocking the convinced Jeff and Bai Liu, but he didn't say anything, and followed Jeff into the wax museum.

Bai Liu and Lucy were supposed to be together, but Bai Liu wanted to go to the hot water room to separate the wet newspapers, so she asked Lucy to go shopping alone.

After Lucy expressed her regret, she said that she would wait for Bai Liu in the exhibition hall, and went shopping alone. Bai Liu walked towards the hot water room that the keeper said.

There is a floating panel in front of him, which says - [Game Notes].

Bai Liu frowned.

This is where? why is he here What is this panel?

This panel seemed to be able to perceive the doubts in his heart, and the answers appeared on it one by one.

[You are in a deadly game, and the reason why you are here is because we detected that you had a strong desire for money after losing your job, which triggered the opening of the game]

As the words on the panel appeared one by one, Bai Liu finally recalled something.

Yes, that's right, he lost his job.

And he is a person who has a strong desire for money. He has loved money to the point of abnormality since he was a child, and was even diagnosed as a patient with "money hoarding disorder" by a psychologist. The doctor warned him that if he does not control his desire for money , sooner or later, he will do something that is desperate for money.

When he had a job, Bai Liu still had a certain fixed income every month so he could barely restrain his desire for money, but when he lost this job, Bai Liu fell into a kind of uncontrollable depression, and even wanted to go to work desperately. Eager to hoard money. His psychiatrist said that this is the normal mental state of laid-off social animals, let him adjust himself to calm down, go out and see the world and relax.

Hearing this, Bai Liu just wanted to sneer, he had no money, so when he went out, he could only see hell but not the world, okay?

Bai Liu satirized the psychiatrist: "After I go out and see the world, can I become rich?"

The psychiatrist exclaimed: "Of course not, you will become poorer."

Bai Liu: "..." Don't you fucking know what's going to happen?

"But after you become poorer, you will find..." the psychiatrist comforted Bai Liu, "Poor is nothing more than that, money is something outside of your body, why bother yourself so painfully?"

Bai Liu asked the psychiatrist expressionlessly: "Is it painful to meet a patient like me?"

Psychiatrist: "..." Painful.

Bai Liu chuckled: "Why do you torment yourself so much? Why don't you resign and go for a walk?"

Psychiatrist: "..." For the sake of money, I dare not go out without money.

Wang cried out.

After crying to countless psychiatrists, Bai Liu clapped his hands and sighed, poverty is really the best weapon to attack human beings.

It means hurting others eight hundred and hurting oneself a thousand.

Fortunately, this psychiatrist is free from the community, otherwise Bai Liu would be even poorer.

———————

After Bai Liu lost her job, she fell into a kind of extreme anxiety, and she couldn't control it at all. In her dreams, she could dream of getting rich overnight, sitting in the pile of money and laughing happily. After waking up, the huge gap between dream and reality often made him feel even more disappointed, because his deposit was only five figures.

In this unsatisfactory laid-off anxiety and self-conflict, Bai Liu rested his chin and dreamed when he had nothing to do—if there was a way to make money with high risks in this world, it would be great. He could die, but he wanted money!

He told his friend what he thought, and the friend comforted him, did you see the "Criminal Law" on your wall shelf?

Bai Liu said that he saw it.

My friend said, you just open a page and find one, which is a high-risk money-making job. If you work hard, you can still get on the urgent list this month.

Bai Liu: "..."

Bai Liu doesn't want to break the law. Isn't there a way to get money quickly without breaking the law? A friend said that your dreams come faster.

Even if it is to risk his life, he still wants money——Bai Liu was thinking about it at the last moment when he was lying on the bed dreaming, losing consciousness and being involved in this game.

After the memory was over, Bai Liu looked at the game panel floating in front of him.

Another line of words appeared on the panel: [Yes, it is your strong desire that started the game, and as long as you successfully pass the game, you can get everything you want]

Bai Liu said without hesitation, "I want money."

Regardless of his game, he just wants to make money.

After a while, Bai Liu asked again: "Is your game legal?"

Panel: [...legal]

Panel: [You will get points for clearing the game, and the points can be exchanged for money and everything you want]

Bai Liu: "What kind of game is this? What should I do to clear the level and get the points you mentioned?"

Panel: [This is a horror escape game, full of ghosts, murderers, and incredible things, and all you have to do is to find out their weaknesses, complete the story of clearing the entire game copy, and survive from them come down】
