If it is an ordinary player, at this time, they must be extremely nervous and want to run outside, away from this pile of gloomy and pale old wax figures.

But Bai Liu turned off the light of the flashlight calmly, walked into the wax figure, found a small dark corner, untied his coat and wrapped his lower limbs with a gray cloth on the ground, pretending that he was a wax figure, and did not move.

And the eyesight of this group of cocoon mermaid wax figures is not very good, so they searched for Bai Liu in a daze, but stopped when they couldn't find it.

The warehouse door swayed a few times, and was slowly opened. Two sailors came down the stairs with a small dim light, talking hoarsely and softly:

"Calculate the number of wax figures..."

"I counted it several times, and there is no mistake..."

"After tonight, there will be four more wax figures here. Let's send these four people to the wax museum first. The wax figures over there have been guarding the Siren King for too long. It's time to come out with their own amulets for activities. It's..."

"Keep an eye on the Siren King, don't let him wake up and go back into the water, or we'll all have to..."

Two sailors stood on the steps above the warehouse. They carried the old-fashioned small oil lamps and walked down with straight eyes. Is the person in sailor costume a wax figure or a real person?

They were so white, so white that they couldn't see through the light, and the blood vessels on their faces and hands couldn't even be seen at such a close distance from the light.

Sure enough, they were not human, Bai Liu slightly rolled his eyes and looked at the two sailors, thinking.

But it's still not quite right, the two sailors are still in human form, and the monster book says "Mermaid Sailor", Bai Liu frowned unrecognizably, and gradually had a premonition that something wasn't right.

One of the sailors was the one who told Bai Liu and the others not to run around on the deck before. His eyes were dead silent, and his eyeballs were frozen as if they would not move. Shattered and smashed, last time it smashed an amulet, and the sailor is still in the sea and cannot go ashore."

The two sailors walked up to the group of wax figures and immediately began to fix the wax figures with chains.

Bai Liu held his breath, he looked at the open warehouse door, and began to slowly move closer to it.

One of the sailors seemed to have heard the wax figure talking, stopped for a moment, frowned, turned his head to the wax figure and said to himself: "You said, did you see tourists coming here just now?"

Bai Liu's face darkened.

I made a mistake, I didn't expect that this group of sailors could still talk to their amulet wax figures.

It seems that this chase must be chased, but it is much better than on deck, after all, there are only two sailors.

Bai Liu quickly turned his brain to think about the best countermeasures. With such poor physical fitness, he would definitely die in a chase. That's why he wanted to avoid the chase at first, but he didn't expect this to be a knot-like clasp. No matter whether he was going or staying, he had to chase it. .

You can't run, and you can't go up, because there are more sailors going up, it's not a chase, it's a group attack, and you have to jump into the sea.

Bai Liu didn't want to jump into the sea, he thought calmly, what should he do then?

The sailor approached the wax figure, and suddenly seemed to have heard something extremely funny, and laughed in a low voice, which echoed in the bottom warehouse: "Unexpectedly, a distinguished guest came here in advance, please don't worry, you Sooner or later it will come to this place."

As the sailor spoke, he carried the oil lamp and walked to various corners. The dim light from the oil lamp shone from the sailor's chin, making the smile on his face even more eerie, "... Please come out quickly, at night. Fishing is about to start, and the mermaid is waiting for you in the sea."

In Bailiu's brainstorming, these sailors are obviously more difficult to mess with than those wax figures. These sailors are also monsters. What are the weaknesses of these sailors?

In just a few seconds, the sailor was about to walk in front of Bai Liu. Bai Liu took out the flashlight and pointed it at the sailor. Unfortunately, the sailor just blocked his eyes with his hand, and then put it down as if nothing had happened. Mystery: "We are different from those things, we are not afraid of light."

The weak point is not the light, the reaction to strong light looks like a human being, Bai Liu's mind was spinning rapidly, and almost the moment he put down the phone, he lifted the wine barrel behind him and smashed it, and the wine barrel hit the sailor's head. Body, scattered into a pile of wood chips.

These two sailors have a solid body, completely without the weakness of the mermaid wax figure, as if they were reborn from a cocoon.

The sailor looked straight at Bai Liu in the dark warehouse, stretched out his hand to hold Bai Liu's wrist, and smiled strangely at Bai Liu with his head sideways. The teeth in his mouth were fine and sharp: "Come on, guest, let's Go fishing, look under the surface."

Bai Liu looked directly at these sailors.

The sailor seems to have no weaknesses, but he is not a monster without weaknesses like the Siren King. After all, the system did not inform Bailiu that sailors are also monsters without weaknesses, so players should be able to use what they have to resist, otherwise they will There is no more to play.

However, the sailor refused to accept it. Both physical and optical attacks were ineffective. This shouldn't be the case. According to Bai Liu's previous deduction, both mermaid sailors and mermaids should be sensitive to light, otherwise they wouldn't come out at night.

Bai Liu didn't feel that his deduction was wrong. After all, the wax figure of the mermaid was afraid of strong light, which had already verified the correctness of this deduction, but the two sailors looked directly at the strong light without fear...

...something has covered up their weaknesses for them... The front desk said earlier that amulets can help them resist damage.

Bai Liu's thoughts turned, he searched for the sailor's wax figure among the wax figures, and found that there was a slight crack on the top of one of the wax figures, as if being hit by a wine barrel on the head, and the expression of the wax figure changed from kindness to pain, With his hands in front of his eyes, it seemed that some light was shining directly into his eyes.

Bai Liu's eyes were fixed, and he kicked obliquely, his eyes fixed on the wax figure of the sailor's amulet behind him, he turned it over forcefully, and kicked the wax figure of the mermaid in the face.

The wax figure of the mermaid fell to the ground in an instant, with rancid black blood flowing out of it, and the sailor who held Bai Liu's wrists behind him let out a sharp and miserable cry, a very high-frequency cry, like some kind of fish, shaking Bai Liu's ears hurt.

The sailor seemed to have been smashed into pieces of the exoskeleton, and began to crackle and drop lime-like shards, revealing the body inside.

Incessantly, Bai Liu also pulled out another sailor's wax figure, grabbed his head and knocked it on his knee before it shattered.

The sailor as the main body is so powerful, but the wax figure as the amulet is as brittle as an egg shell, no wonder it has to be placed in the bottom compartment for protection.

Both sailors uttered piercing screams, and the pure white complexion on their faces faded to bluish black, and their eyes moved to the sides, eventually growing on the temples.

The "sailor" exudes a strong fishy smell, and his lower body has turned into a slippery and curly piebald fish tail like an eel, with jagged teeth in his mouth, lying on the ground, using two strong bulging His hands moved towards Bai Liu as quickly as a gecko.

Bai Liu quickly turned on the flashlight and shot it directly at the opponent. The sailor who hadn't responded just now trembled and let out a more ear-piercing scream.

After breaking the amulet that protects them, the attack of strong light is effective.

Bai Liu stood on the stairs and retreated slowly, pointing the flashlight at the two sailors who were constantly climbing on the ground like geckos. Exit the bottom warehouse by the door, and then quickly close the door and don't lock it.

After closing the barn door, Bai Liu could still hear the sound of fish tails dragging on the ground from inside the barn, as if a bunch of snakes were raised underneath, and the barn door was vibrated by the blow.

[Refresh of "Monster Book of Siren Town" - Mermaid Sailor (3/4)]

[Monster Name: Mermaid/Sailor (Butterfly State)]

[Weakness: Fear of strong light, amulets (2/3)]

[Attack method: Bite and scratch (the alienation state will be triggered with a certain probability after being scratched)

Bai Liu calmly adjusted her collar and came out from the stairs of the warehouse. Lucy caught Bai Liu in an instant. She held Bai Liu's arm as if complaining and said, "Where did you go just now? They said that fishing is about to start."

"We've already reached that sea area." Lucy said with a smile, the fish scale-like lines appeared on her face, her eyes shone in the dark night, and the hand holding Bai Liu felt strangely rough and slippery Feeling moved, Bai Liu calmly took away Lucy's hand and said, "Really?"

"Yes." Lucy smiled hoarsely, "The mermaid is here."

Before Jeff’s words fell, the sailors on the side of the boat pulled the edge of the net and jumped down one by one. Lucy screamed in fright: “What are they doing?! Aren’t they going to catch mermaids? Why don’t they go there by themselves? Jump down!"

Bai Liu said calmly, "They're just catching mermaids."

After a long, long time, a huge net slowly floated up under the sea surface. Inside the huge net were fragmentary stumps and fish tails. A dozen mermaids were trapped in the net in pieces. They were all dead, and the fish tails were rotten. Rotten sticking to the top.

These dozen or so mermaids are like dolls in a garbage dump, twisted into a certain posture in the net, staring at the people on board with eyes fixed on their eyes, with hideous or terrified expressions on their faces, and marks of being bitten all over their bodies , as if being bitten to death by some ferocious deep-sea fish and thrown into the net.

Bai Liu looked at the faces of these shattered [mermaids] under the light of the searchlight, breathing slowly.

The faces of these mermaids are exactly the same as those of the twelve missing tourists in the newspaper.

The sailors on board were whispering joyfully:

"They will be made into wax figures and sent to the wax museum..."

"But the Wax Museum will only have four wax figures coming out tonight, because there are only four tourists, what about the extra mermaids that were salvaged?"

"Let's put it in the bottom warehouse first, you can satisfy our greed first..."

The caught mermaids were quickly sent to the rear, and it was unknown where they were transported.

The three tourists, Bai Liu and the others, could eat some fresh common sea fish caught along with the mermaid, and soon these sea fish were prepared and delivered to Bai Liu.

These sea fish seem to be contaminated with the smell of mermaids, and the taste is particularly strange after being cooked.

The three people except Bai Liu were sucking/sucking their fingers frantically at the fish that was brought out.

The fish was pushed to the center by the sashimi steak, and the wet fish head was held and chewed by Lucy. Lucy ate it so fast that even the hair on her cheek was eaten.

Lucy brushed the oily hair out of her mouth, and smiled at Bai Liu: "Bai Liu, why don't you come over to eat, the fish tonight is really fresh."

The small white eyes of the fish head in Lucy's hand stared at Bai Liu with reluctance.

Andre is biting a fish tail in his hand, and his teeth are sharp. He has become very fish-like, and his eyes are almost invisible from the front. They are located on both sides of the face. The nose is completely sunken and too wide A foul-smelling blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Jeff used a fork to cut open the fat belly of the fish. He seemed to be able to maintain his sanity, but the movements of his hands became faster and faster, mechanically stuffing the fish into his mouth.

The sailors stared at Bai Liu, they put the plate full of sea fish in front of Bai Liu forcefully, showing strange smiles: "If you don't eat fresh fish, it's a trip for nothing, Mr. Bai."

Bai Liu wanted to refuse, but another instruction popped up on the panel in front of him:

[Mission Tips: If you don’t eat the fish presented by the sailors, the fishing activity will be considered a failure]

Bai Liu was silent for two seconds, and ate a piece.

This sea fish meat has a very strange sour smell at the entrance, but when the meat passes through the throat, it becomes a normal sea fish meat with fresh and sweet taste.

All the fish in front of Bai Liu began to have a strange allure, even a person like Bai Liu, who has always had a moderate appetite, could not help but want to eat nonsense when facing the table full of fish Hesse's impulse.

The sailor saw that he had eaten, and left with satisfaction.

Bai Liu tried her best to keep her mind clear, not to look at the fish on the table, got up and stood by the sea with the sea breeze blowing, and lowered her head to smell the metallic smell of the coin in her heart.

The smell of coins calmed Bai Liu.

He can probably deduce something.

After the Siren King was salvaged, he fell into a deep sleep and lost some ability to this sea area, causing the dead people in this sea area to become / mermaids, resurrected from the dead, and returned to the world. This is actually a It was a legend, but the mermaid corpses of the twelve tourists just now verified the authenticity of this legend.

People who die here can indeed turn into mermaids.

But the question is why in such a small remote sea area, why can so many mermaids transformed from dead people be produced, and it is not enough to fill the entire wax museum? Why are there so many dead people in this sea area.

When Bai Liu saw the twelve salvaged tourist mermaids, he finally understood why this sea area produced so many mermaids.

Because this is a dumping ground.

The bodies of those missing tourists were estimated to have been thrown into this sea area, and then salvaged by these sailors as some kind of large fish, made into/watered by mermaids into wax figures.

But I just don't know who killed those tourists...

Bai Liu had a vague guess in his heart, this is a town of robbery, most of the missing tourists in this town have lost their property, Bai Liu can see from the astonishing number of robbery and disappearance cases in the newspapers, Siren Town is not a folk custom Very rustic place.

The town had gotten rich not so much from tourism as from the robbery that came with it.

Is there a fatter lamb than a tourist from afar?

Such a vicious place, with so many tourists dead, Bai Liu tends to be tourists who were robbed and assassinated and then dumped in this place. Of course, it is not ruled out that the mermaid came ashore to hunt and kill.

But judging from the mermaid's habit of fearing strong light, it is estimated that it is difficult to go ashore to hunt tourists during the day, and at night, during the popular tourist season in Siren Town, these mermaids are all caught up for tourists to watch. Very unlikely to kill...

Wait, Bai Liu is so fiercely connected in series——

The mermaid fishing activity is to catch mermaids only if someone dies in this sea area. If there are no dead people here, there will be no mermaids.

For example, Bai Liu and the others caught up the missing tourists last time during their fishing activities...

The residents of this town may have intentionally killed people, dumped their corpses and then raised /mermaids, and then turned it into a gimmick of /mermaid fishing, which was used to make tourism to attract more tourists, so that they could rob more conveniently.

No wonder the keeper said that there would be no mermaid fishing activities without tourists, and all the mermaids caught were dead tourists.

The mayor here is a guy who loves the people like a son.

In order to promote economic development and cover up the townspeople's crimes, to prevent the townspeople's criminal records from being discovered, and to further expand the [mermaid tourism], Bai Liu felt that the mayor of the town could do enough to catch the mermaids, or It is said that the irrigation of the corpses was made into wax figures and put in the wax museum, or directly let the residents dispose of them.

Of course it was impossible for the police to catch or find any corpses, which were all disposed of and poured into wax figures.

Those mermaid wax statues are filled with the corpses of previous tourists, and the ghosts of previous tourists are imprisoned inside, and these ghosts have become monsters. For revenge, they began to curse the residents of the town, turning these residents into them. talisman.

In the process of alienation, the residents will become like fish, and the mermaid wax figure will change into /human, and the two will exchange identities.

In this way, the amulets in the warehouse below are actually the townspeople of Siren Town, and the sailors on this ship are all ghosts who died in the deep sea, and they are no longer human beings, but monsters.

According to this inference, there is still one thing missing.

The shape of the mermaid wax figure is pupa, cocoon, and butterfly. But Bai Liu squinted his eyes. According to the growth law, the mermaid wax figure still lacks one state, that is, larvae, the most numerous and most fragile larvae.
