Chapter 9

There was silence in the car, and everyone's expressions became strange.

Lucy laughed in embarrassment, and Andre sneered. The two obviously didn't believe what the driver said about eating merman.

Jeff still kept his head down, only Bai Liu looked calm.

The driver drove the car in front of a building smoothly and steadily: "The 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 see 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. There were a few English flowers on the top. Bai Liu translated it and called it 【Siren Museum】.

[Scene Unlock - Siren Museum]

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

The decoration of the Siren Museum looks very new, but the outer wall is still a bit worn out. It is the kind of red wall with bricks stacked on top of each other. There are many old newspapers with missing persons posted on it, and the white willow will be glued to it when the wind blows. face.

Bai Liu took off the old newspaper from his face, and what caught his eyes was a bold and bold notice—[Police Notice: Twelve people disappeared in Siren Town this month. Personnel notified the police in time, 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]

There are twelve black-and-white photos posted below, and the people on them all have happy smiles as if they just came to Siren Town for a trip, but the smiles of the people on the newspaper, through the yellowed old newspaper, fell into Bai Liu's eyes, There is an indescribable weirdness.

After Bai Liu carefully read the whole newspaper, he was about to put the newspaper away and put it in his bag. After folding it twice, Bai Liu suddenly felt that the folded 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.

Looking at the cross-section of the newspaper, Bai Liu found that the cross-section was indeed very thick, but there were no traces of multiple sheets. The main reason was that the newspaper had been blown so hard that even if there were multiple sheets, it could not be easily seen. Bai Liu He frowned, put the newspaper away in his arms, and decided to find some warm water to scald it after entering the museum, to see if the newspaper had multiple layers and could be separated.

The keeper of the Siren Museum is an old man suffering from cataracts. His eyes are cloudy and white, but the miracle is that there seems to be no major problem with people. As soon as Bai Liu and the others walked in, the old man quickly turned his head Moving over, the keeper's eyes were blank, but there was a formal polite smile on his aging face, and Lucy let out a small exclamation when he quickly approached this way.

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

Upon hearing this, Bai Liu asked the museum keeper, "Why haven't new mermaid sculptures 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. After fishing, we have no way to make mermaid sculptures and put them in the museum.”

"Has there always been a steady stream of mermaid sculptures entering the Siren Museum?" Bai Liu immediately realized a problem, "Is the capacity of this museum limited? If you keep adding new sculptures, you won't be able to put many sculptures in there." .”

"No." The keeper had a weird smile on his lips, his white eyeballs rolled in his eyes, and he aimed at Bai Liu, with a mysterious tone, "These mermaid sculptures will leave this museum, the Siren Museum will never be full , because as many sculptures come in, so many mermaid sculptures will leave.”

Bai Liu raised her eyebrows subtly, and continued to write: "Then where did these mermaid sculptures go after they left the museum? Will these sculptures be thrown back into the sea?"

The keeper stopped talking, as if he felt that he had said something that shouldn't be said, but Bai Liu asked sharply: "After the tourists come, what then?"

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

Ask again, but the guard is unwilling to speak again no matter what. After Bai Liu asked where the hot water in the museum is, he gave up the routine. He took the ticket and walked in with a group of people behind him. Siren Museum.

As soon as he entered, Bai Liu saw a golden lacquered statue standing at the door. It was a humanoid sculpture wearing a suit and a hat. It was completely different from the mermaid sculptures that Bai Liu saw. The official smile is a statue of a majestic middle-aged man standing on a black stone platform, waving to the tourists who come in.

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

Some explanations for the statue were engraved on the black stone platform, and Bai Liu leaned over to look at it—this is the sculpture of the mayor of Siren Town, which was completed when the Siren Museum opened.

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

Carved 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, and Jeref, who had been silent all the way, suddenly leaned on Bai Liu's side: "Do you believe there are mermaids? Do you think the above mentioned things about Siren Town are true?"

Of course not all of them.

This kind of thing that is specially built to promote the development of tourism in the museum, although it looks very serious, but it is almost enough to have a third of the truth. Most of it is false information fabricated by the local area and used to hype it. Gimmicks 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 mocking the convinced Jeff and Bai Liu, and followed Jeff into the 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, so she went shopping curiously, and Bai Liu went to the hot water room that the keeper said.
