Chapter 8

Bai Liu smelled a strong fishy smell coming from the front row the whole time he got in the car. He always thought it was from Andre, because this man had eaten a lot of rotten fish steaks in the morning, but he didn't expect it to be from the driver.

Then the fishy smell he smelt in the car yesterday is probably also from this person, but compared with today, it is completely out of the same concentration category. Today, the fishy smell on the driver's body is much stronger.

Bai Liu covered her nose, looked at the driver left and right, thinking in her heart... this driver...should be a monster too.

【warn! ! Player identification error! This npc is not a monster! Cannot enter monster book! Just in a state of alienation! 】

[The player's identification is wrong, the npc's trust in the player is extremely low, and it may act aggressively towards the player]

The driver slowly took a bite of the sandwich in his hand. His shaking eyes looked at Bai Liu for a while, and suddenly he said in a nasty tone: "...Do you think the smell on me is disgusting?"

Bai Liuxin said yes, but denied it categorically: "No."

"The way you look at me is like looking at a monster, heh, damn arrogant rich man." The driver said gloomily, then turned his head to eat, and ignored Bai Liu's question.

Tsk, it's a bit tricky, it makes it much more difficult for Bai Liu to obtain information, and it's impossible for him to forcefully question the driver, the panel has already prompted that the driver will be aggressive, behave, and behave towards Bai Liu.

Bai Liu rolled her eyes and coaxed Lucy to ask the driver. The driver snorted, but still answered Lucy's question.

"The attractions in Siren Town are of course related to mermaids." The driver smiled a little, and his eyeballs were swaying in their sockets. You don't know who he is looking at or talking to, "our Fishing is not an ordinary fish, there are special mermaid fishing activities, which are only held at night, and our museum is not an ordinary museum, we will make wax sculptures of the mermaids caught and put them on display in the museum , the first mermaid skeleton we caught was placed in the museum.”

"Mermaid fishing?" Bai Liu asked back, "Did you really catch mermaids?"

The driver ignored Bai Liu, and after Lucy asked again, the driver answered.

The driver smiled meaningfully: "Yes, although except for the first mermaid which was very beautiful, all the mermaids caught later were of low quality and incomplete shape, but they are indeed mermaids."

Andre suddenly snorted contemptuously: "It's just a gimmick, don't you really believe it?"

Jeff opened his mouth to say something, but closed his mouth again, but his eyes clearly wanted to say that there are mermaids, probably because he was beaten up by Andre this morning, and he didn't dare to refute, but Lu Xi was different. She looked at Andre with a very dissatisfied look, and then said loudly, "I believe it! How about Bai Liu?" She turned her head and looked at Bai Liu angrily.

"Seeing is believing." Bai Liu said lightly, "You will know it after watching the fishing activities at night."

Andre doesn't know how to hate Lucy, but he can't wait to laugh at Bai Liu every word: "I hope some people don't just watch the fishing activities at night and just run away crying." He said, There was an evil smile full of mischief on his face, and his eyes flicked from Bai Liu, "If you fall off the board of the boat yelling and are caught by these fishermen as mermaids and made into sculptures, we will definitely not Will save you, but we'll come to the museum to see your sculpture, oh, poor White Willow."

Andre shrugged hypocritically, still smiling maliciously, as if he had seen the white willow falling into the water being made into a sculpture.

Bai Liu reacted for a moment, remembering that he and Andre had a bet at night to prove that he was a brave person.

He got the specific content of this bet from Lucy this morning.

Andre and Bai Liu want to rent two canoes to drift overnight on the Siren Sea at night. Whoever can't stand the return voyage first is a coward, and whoever doesn't deserve to have Lucy. Lucy herself doesn't want to have this bet, but what The role played by Bai Liu must be Tie Tie.

In the horror game with "Mermaid" as the core, the sea at night is undoubtedly the scariest place. Bai Liu would never go here with a person who has a strong mind and obviously has no good intentions for him when he is not clear about the specific situation. In such a place, Bai Liu has no doubt that if Andre meets his boat on the sea, he will overturn his boat and let him fall into the sea.

But Bailiu can't water.

To a certain extent, things like the mermaid siren and the sea monster are far less terrifying to Bai Liu than the sea itself. As long as he falls into the sea, he doesn't need anything. The deep and dark sea water can strangle him by the throat in a few minutes , took away his oxygen, and finally smothered him to death in the dark and cold sea water. This kind of powerless death disgusted Bai Liu, and he had no right to struggle.

Bai Liu would not approach the sea area unless necessary, his expression betrayed his rejection of this so-called gambling activity, Andre mocked and laughed presumptuously: "Look, look, this is our young master, except for the money What else do you have better than me? You dare not even go to sea."

Bai Liu nodded sincerely and happily: "I have nothing but money." But having money is enough to make him feel satisfied, even if it is a virtual set of coins, he is also very happy.

Andre: "..."

Why does this person have a praised expression?

Andre sneered: "Then you don't mean to give up Lucy?"

Just as Bai Liu was about to show off with Andre that he didn't want to go to this death-defying activity, the coin on his chest vibrated, and a task prompt popped up:

[Trigger side quest [Ship of True Love], please player Bai Liu complete the bet before leaving Siren Town, beat Andre in the bet, reward 100 points]

Bai Liu: "..."

There are so many points rewards of one hundred!

The desire for money instantly defeated the fear of water, Bai Liu replied calmly: "No, I will go, I must beat you."

Lucy hugged Bai Liu emotionally: "Oh, baby, we must live together after you come back and have a pleasant night." There was a very explicit hint in her words, and her hand ran along the area between Bai Liu's legs. The gap slid upwards, and even gave Bai Liu a wink.

Bai Liu silently took Lucy's hand away, he suddenly thought of something.

....Wait, "The Boat of True Love" doesn't mean what he thought, right? After he finished surfing on the boat, will he come back and surf on the bed with Lucy...

This kind of European and American-style horror games do often design this kind of plot, that is, let the hero eat the heroine before the final horror ending, which is a kind of welfare, but as a game designer, Bai Liu has never I feel that this kind of benefit design is not tempting. The final rewards he gives are usually a lot of money. This may be one of the reasons for the game he made.

He just wants to decline this benefit now.

... Not only does he have to risk falling into the sea, but he also has to bear the risk of being taken advantage of by Lucy when he returns. This kind of double loss transaction makes Bai Liu feel depressed at a loss, but Bai Liu dare not break away from the role framework directly. Lucy, let me break up with you. I may not be able to succeed with you in my life. This is likely to reduce the character's trust in him.

Lessons learned from the past, the driver's trust in him has declined.

Obviously, there is a lot of hidden information in these characters. If he does something that breaks the character or makes a mistake, Bai Liu is likely to be rejected by these characters, thus missing some key information.

But is it possible that he really wants to drive [The Boat of True Love] with Lucy?

Bai Liu fell into deep thought—forget it, let's talk about it when the time comes, anyway, he didn't succeed the first time, and it's normal if he doesn't succeed the second time, even if he can succeed, he can pretend not to succeed...

After Bai Liu readily accepted his impotence setting, he looked at Lucy with a kind of eyes that looked at sisters (not), and felt that this girl was much more pleasing to the eye.

The driver turned his head: "Go and see our museum first during the day, and there will be mermaid fishing activities at night."

The whole group agreed, and the driver drove the car around a beach. Bai Liu saw a lot of sun-dried wrecks on that beach. Some of the broken mermaid remains that came up were discarded on the beach because they were too broken, and some of the less broken ones were poured into sculptures and wax figures and put in museums.

Bai Liu did see a lot of huge fish tail bones and some white human skulls on the beach. These things were scattered messily on the beach, and there were a few nets drying beside them. Some fishermen came out to clean them up. Bones and Net, raised their heads and looked at Bai Liu and the others. Bai Liu hadn't noticed the faces of these townspeople at night before, but now he saw them during the day...

These townspeople look very strange, and they have a weird resemblance to the driver, but they are even more curious and inhuman than the driver.

The whites of their eyes are very white, so white that it is abnormal, but the pupils are only the size of soybeans, swaying aimlessly in the eye sockets. The distance between the eyes is very wide, and the eyes seem to grow on the sides of the face like ears. It is very similar to the catfish in Bailiu's impression.

There are also gray-black marble patterns around their eyes, which spread from around their eyes to their necks, and their movements are extremely slow when they walk in the sun. If it's wrong, there seem to be some green scales growing on the insteps of their feet that will not fall off.

They looked at the passing Bai Liu's car with a frozen and silly smile like a child smelling food.

Lucy was also frightened by the appearance of these fishermen, she muttered softly: "They look so strange."

The appearance of these fishermen is much stranger than that of the driver. Compared with people, these fishermen look more like... some kind of strange deep-sea fish.

The driver swallowed the last mouthful of the sandwich that exuded a strong fishy smell, and smiled with black teeth covered in surimi: "Really? We all look like this here, maybe because we eat all kinds of fish, which is not healthy. "

Bai Liu narrowed his eyes, he felt that these townspeople looked like monsters, but he stopped halfway through the thought.

The driver misidentified,

Although the townspeople and drivers are obviously quite inhuman, the driver cannot be entered into the [Monster Book]. This monster townsman who is similar to the driver also has a probability of not conforming to the monster settings in the game. If so many townspeople's hatred value is aroused , that's no joke.

But Bai Liu was not so stupid as to really think that this group of strange-looking townspeople were no longer monsters.

Not a monster There are two possibilities:

The first: really not.

The second type: It may be that it has not met a certain standard for the monster book to be judged.

This "Siren Town" has a very peculiar setting, which can be [hatch] and [alienation]. In the state of transformation, so it seems so nondescript.

As for the results of these two states, Bai Liu didn't know. He guessed that it might be a monster, but he needed to verify it.

Bai Liu slowly shifted his gaze to Andre who was sitting in front of him.

It's not that he couldn't save Andre last night.

But for him, for an npc like Andre who is aggressive towards him, death is more valuable than survival.

Andre watched the driver suck~suck his finger with relish, and swallowed his saliva with straight eyes. He scratched his itchy cheeks irritably, and his appetite was uncontrollably high. Andre looked at Bai Liu sitting behind him from the rearview mirror of the car with resentful eyes.

Bai Liu is so rich, why doesn't he even let him eat a few pieces of fish fillet? Now he is so hungry that when he sees what is in the driver's hand, he can't help but want to grab it to eat, but the driver eats so fast, Andre Before he had time to move, the driver had already finished eating and was touching his belly with a look of intoxication.

Andre's throat rolled, watching the driver lick the fish mince from the corner of his mouth deliciously, the saliva in Andre's mouth continued to secrete, and he recalled the moist, smooth and extremely attractive taste of the fish fillet again, he had never Had such a delicious fish steak.

No, it's not just the fish steaks, all the fish here are cooked so deliciously that he can't stop eating them.

The driver sighed contentedly: "It's delicious, only the fish in Siren Town is so delicious."

Lucy also praised: "Yes, I have never eaten such a delicious fish, it is so fresh."

"No, it's not fresh. The secret of delicious fish in Siren Town never lies in its freshness. Even this kind of fish is not delicious when eaten fresh. It needs to be marinated and specially treated to be delicious." The smile on the driver's face changed. It became weird, "What you eat is a very special kind of fish, a fish that is not found in other places, and a fish unique to Siren Town."

Lucy asked curiously, "What fish?"

Driver: "Mermaid."
