Chapter 4

The system sent Bai Liu the first task, but Bai Liu's focus was not on the task. He looked at the words [avoid being hatched] and fell into deep thought.

……incubation?

Tsk, can those sculptures hatch them?

Bai Liu silently remembered that as soon as he turned around, he saw a tall mermaid sculpture standing opposite the bed.

This is what Bai Liu saw, the largest mermaid sculpture in the house, and the only one that didn't look at him directly.

This mermaid sculpture is beautiful, with a mournful expression, holding a clean mirror as tall as a person in her hand, and the graceful hands of the mermaid sculpture are the brackets supporting the dressing mirror.

This is also the only mermaid sculpture in the room that does not look at Bai Liu. It looks sadly into the mirror, and Bai Liu is reflected in the mirror. It wraps its hands around the mirror, just like embracing the white willow in this mirror, which makes Bai Liu a little Uncomfortable, the eyes of the mermaid sculpture fell on the mirror, the eyebrows were drawn in, the corners of the eyes were drooping, and the tail of the fish lay flat on the ground weakly, as if crying for the person in the mirror, with a realistic and pitiful expression. Bai Liu looked at the mirror, The [self] inside showed a sinister smile like a sculpture to Bai Liu outside the mirror.

Unmoved, Bai Liu covered the mirror with a white cloth.

This level of horror scenes is ineffective for Bai Liu. He plays horror games in the real world and stays up all night alone for a long time. Think about all kinds of horror scenes, this kind of routine horror scene where the person in the mirror is smiling at you, Bai Liu has almost become numb and won't feel anything.

It seems that those tourists who Jeff said disappeared without a sound in the hotel and their bodies have not been found are probably hatched by these mermaid sculptures.

Although Bai Liu still doesn't know what [Hatching] is, it won't be a good thing anyway.

To be conservative, Bai Liu covered all the mermaid sculptures with white sheets in the hotel room, including the huge mirror, to block the weird and ubiquitous sight. Although it may not be useful, it is better than nothing, the most important thing The most amazing thing is that so many mermaid sculptures look at Bai Liu, and Bai Liu can't fall asleep.

When he was covering the mirror, he touched the fish tail of the mermaid statue. The touch on the fish tail was not smooth and smooth marble, but sticky and slippery like a sea fish. Bai Liu even felt the fish tail on the sculpture under his hand. The scales opened and closed slightly.

Bai Liu paused, he touched the statue and smelled it, he could smell fishy smell left on his fingers, but when Bai Liu got close to the mermaid statue and sniffed it, he could only smell the incense of the hotel room, not Smell this fishy smell.

Might be the smell from the car....

...It is more likely that Bai Liu exudes that kind of fishy smell. Thinking that the mermaid sculpture can [hatch] tourists, Bai Liu frowned, feeling not very good.

What can be hatched from a mermaid sculpture? Most likely some disgusting-looking fish or something like that. The word hatch reminded Bai Liu of a movie called "Mermaid in the Sewer". He had watched it two or three times for the material. Nor are there any glamorous fantasies.

After driving the car in the middle of the night, Bai Liu was already tired. He washed himself briefly, then lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. His stamina had been reset to zero, and he urgently needed to replenish sleep when it was relatively safe. stamina.

In the middle of the night, Bai Liu was awakened by a strange, dull dragging sound.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that the white cloth that covered the mermaid statues fell down at some point, and only part of them were left to hang on these statues. Some of these statues were covered by the white cloth so that only one eye was exposed. There also seemed to be a slight change, from divine compassion to unwillingness and resentment, looking at Bai Liu motionlessly, as if blaming Bai Liu for covering them with a white cloth.

Bai Liu also noticed that these statues seemed to be moving closer to him than before he went to bed, like a group of people who were about to gather at the dining table and slowly gather around his bed with their hands raised.

Especially the full-length mirror mermaid statue holding a huge mirror. When Bai Liu woke up in a daze, she saw that her feet were almost touching the mirror, and the huge mirror facing the bed had moved to touch the bed. As soon as Bai Liu shrank her feet and sat up, she saw herself reflected in the mirror.

[White Willow] in the mirror has pale skin like a rock, no black eyeballs in his eyes, and marble spider web patterns around his eyes. He smiled stiffly at the corners of his mouth to the one outside the mirror, but with a blink of an eye, it seemed that he had just It was Bai Liu who misread it and turned into a normal mirror image of Bai Liu.

Bai Liu was silent, and he sat up, without changing his expression or beating his heart, he tied up the mermaid statues with a white cloth.

In order to prevent these mermaid statues from breaking free, Bai Liu tied them tightly with hemp rope twice, then wrapped the small parts of mermaid statues in a white cloth, threw them into the closet and locked them, and pushed the big statues into the bathroom. Locking it backwards, the movement is crisp and quick like a skilled kidnapper.

These things also seem to be subject to certain movement restrictions. These things did not move before Bai Liu went to sleep, and it seemed that they had to break free from the white cloth to see Bai Liu before they could move towards him. They ran around, not gathering towards the bed, but running away in all directions.

After figuring this out, Bai Liu decisively decided to maximize this limit.

Just when he finished all this and clapped his hands to go to sleep, Bai Liu heard the sound of a door opening and closing and the sound of tiptoe footsteps coming from the next door to him.

Just as Bai Liu lay on the bed, he paused. The houses around him were all the rooms he had booked. The rooms next to him on the left and right were Andre and Jeff. In order to protect(?) himself, Bai Liu specially arranged Lucy to leave His furthest room.

The sound of the door opening and closing came from the left, which is Jeff's room. Bai Liu got up from the bed and stuck it on the door to see the scene in the corridor from the peephole. After that, he sneaked down the stairs of the hotel.

Bai Liu frowned, what did Jeff stay up in the middle of the night?

Just as he was about to open the door, Bai Liu saw that the doorknob of the room that Jeff had closed started to turn slowly again, as if someone was about to follow Jeff out of his room.

One hotel room per person.

He was the only one in Jeff's room. It was impossible for Lucy to go to Jeff's room in the middle of the night. Andre had a bad relationship with Jeff. It was impossible to go to Jeff in the middle of the night. Bai Liu was in her own room inside.

So who is this person coming out of Jeff's room?

Bai Liu's heart skipped a beat, he suddenly realized something, and slightly moved his face away from the cat's eyes.

No one came out of Jeff's room!

Jeff's doorknob turned until it clicked, and finally slowly opened it from the inside. Bai Liu heard the dull tugging sound he heard in the half-dream and half-awake again, as if something was kneeling It was like the sound of being dragged and walked on the ground.

But Bai Liu knew how the sound came out this time.

A tall mermaid statue came out of Jeref's room. Its face was frozen and expressionless. Because it had no eyeballs and the eyes were all white, it looked lifeless. The fish tail was on the ground, rubbing against it It dragged along the deserted corridor in the middle of the night, its snow-white and thick fish tail dragged on the strong and old red carpet of the hotel, and its whole body remained motionless as it walked towards the stairs, which reminded Bai Liu of zombies. A stiff ghost that can only move forward by bouncing.

.....This thing can run out of the room by itself and open the door...

When the mermaid statue dragged "walking" out of Jeff's room and walked to the stairs, it seemed to have noticed something. Its neck twisted 180 degrees stiffly, and its head turned directly on its shoulders. When he got to the back, he suddenly changed his direction and walked towards Bai Liu's room expressionlessly.

Bai Liu was startled, he quickly squatted down behind the door of his room and quickly covered himself with a white cloth, only showing a pair of eyes.

After Bai Liu made sure that the door was locked and locked, she huddled in the lower right corner of the door to see what the thing was trying to do, and soon Bai Liu saw that the cat's eye on the door had turned white and was still turning around.

This thing is coming up to see the person in the door with its eyes. The thing that keeps turning is the white eyeball of the sculpture. This thing is searching for the person in the room through the cat's eyes.

This horrifying picture was projected on the big screen, and everyone waiting in front of Bailiu's small TV stared with bated breath, almost biting their hands nervously.

"Fuck, fuck, it's scary, if I lose my mental value in the game..."

"Hold on! Hold on! The death rate for newcomers in this place is extremely high!"

"The monsters in Siren Town are really disgusting. It's hard for newcomers to stay calm and find out the weakness of this thing..."

The novice players on the screen around Bailiu almost reached the point where the mermaid sculpture blocked the door. Some players played faster, and the mermaid sculpture outside the door was slamming into the door.

On the screen next to Bailiu, a player was whimpering and curled up beside the vibrating door with his ears folded, holding a wooden stick tremblingly in his hand, as if he was about to use it to attack. When the mermaid sculpture hit the door, he cried loudly and shrieked. Called, but no one came to save him, but the door of the player's room shook twice, then stopped, and the mermaid sculpture outside seemed to have left.

The crying player wiped away his tears, breathed a sigh of relief like the rest of his life, and stood up limply holding the door.

But what he didn't realize was that the cat's eye on the door was still white, and a pure white stone eye stared at the people inside the house through the cat's eye.

The mermaid statue didn't leave at all. It pretended to leave to see if there was anyone in the room. When the player stood up, a strange and stiff smile appeared on the sculpture's face. It smiled contentedly as if it had found its prey, and the door was blocked again. It hit twice violently, and was easily broken open. The player who hadn't reacted screamed and was crushed under the door.

The mermaid sculpture dragged its heavy fish tail into the room. The smile on its face was strangely pure and strangely ferocious. It opened its hands and slowly reached out to the players who were pressed under the door.

The moment the player is touched by the mermaid sculpture, it seems to be sucked by something. As if sucking the brain, the eyeballs are turned upwards, it looks like it is twitching crazily ~ twitching and rolling the eyes, white foam flows out of the mouth, the limbs are slowly curling up, the legs and legs are close together on the ground twitching, twitching and shaking, like a dog after being splashed with boiling water The tail of the fish struggled wildly, the skin became stiff and pale, around the player's eyes appeared the gray-black marble pattern seen in the white willow mirror, and the eyeballs disappeared, leaving only the whites of the eyes covered with lines, and the corners of the mouth were stiffly upturned .

[The player's spirit value is cleared to 0 in Yizhong, completely alienated by the monster mermaid sculpture, and the game clearance fails]

[Player Liu Xiaohong's mental value is cleared to 0, and she was sculpted by a mermaid...the game clearance failed]

[Player Zou Mingri... Failed to clear the game]

The small TVs of the players who failed to pass the level "sizzled" and went out, and the people around these small TVs sighed.

"Hey, I knew it, it might be difficult to pass the level this time, it's too difficult..."

It was only the first night, and the monsters had just met each other, and almost one-fifth of the small TVs on the TV wall in the [newcomer area] went dark, and the TV screens on the top, bottom, left, and right of Bai Liu went out, leaving him alone in the black On the screen, the face looked out the door calmly.
