Chapter 13

The keeper stands quietly at the door and watches them go away. Behind him are countless vague silhouettes of sculptures, slowly protruding marble faces with no expression in the dark night, like fish protruding from the sea. And the keeper stands still without pupils. At night, it is almost impossible to tell the difference between him and the faintly moving sculptures behind him.

[Main quest: Complete the exploration of the Siren Museum — 50 reward points]

[The current point balance is 81, do you want to buy props? 】

81 Ah... Bai Liu rubbed his chin and asked: [Is there any high-concentration alcohol? 】

[Open the store - yes, a bottle of 6l, 9 points]

…6l, there are so many in one bottle, and it’s too cheap.

A bright flashlight costs 10 points, but 6l of alcohol only costs 9 points, and the three 3D projectors last time only cost 8 points, but Bai Liu remembers the last time he saw the [flame torch], this consumable is a It takes 20 points...

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the words behind [flame torch] and [3d projector] on the menu bar - [the price of some products has changed].

[The price of flames has been reduced to 17 points]

【The original price of the 3D projector is restored, 6 credits for each】

These two props that he had noticed before had price changes.

Bai Liu was thoughtful, [Great Flashlight] and [Flame Torch], which are relatively common and effective props in horror games, seem to be more expensive.

But it seems that after he used certain props, the price of these props changed to a certain extent, and he knew that he was in a live broadcast system... Bai Liu guessed that he should buy these props during the period of his game The number of players in has changed, resulting in a change in the price of the item.

In other words, the integral pricing of these items should not be directly linked to practicality, but to market demand, that is, expensive items are not necessarily better to use.

This is different from Bai Liu's thinking about the props in the horror game. He always uses the more expensive the props, the easier it is to use. I didn't expect that this game is actually priced by the supply and demand market.

Bai Liu was completely relieved now, there was no need to go after high-priced props just to clear the level.

This can save him a small amount of points.

Bai Liu is very generous: [I want everything]

[Put 9 bottles of high-concentration alcohol into player Bailiu's shopping bag, welcome to visit next time]

Wang Shun, who was in front of the small TV, watched Bai Liu anxiously slapped his thighs: "Hey! What is this newcomer doing? Are you going to use alcohol to burn the sculptures? Although these sculptures are sensitive to light, they are not afraid of fire! And once Sex spent all the points, isn't it stupid!"

There are also players whispering next to them:

"What's the matter with this newcomer? All 81 points bought alcohol, is this person an alcoholic?!"

"...Fortunately, I'm still looking forward to it. This newcomer is too addicted to the operation. Do you play games by feeling with your eyes closed?"

"Why did he buy so much alcohol? Monsters are only afraid of weakness. Mermaid sculptures are sensitive to light but not afraid of fire. Moreover, the brightness of alcohol burning is not enough to drive back mermaid sculptures. Buying so much alcohol is useless..."

"Take it for granted. I thought that mermaid sculptures are afraid of light because they are afraid of fire. Some newcomers made this mistake before. They used a torch to burn instead of illuminating the mermaid sculpture. As a result, when the light of the torch dimmed, they died without a whole body."

"It's gone, I thought it was awesome, but it turned out to be luck..."

"The gold content of the central screen is getting lower and lower. This kind of newcomers can be on it. The previous batch of Mu Shen are really hanging..."

…

[Added 0 people to like Bailiu's small TV, added 2 people to favorite Bailiu's small TV, added 766 people to step on player Bailiu's small TV, no one charged player Bailiu]

[Add 1447 people are watching Bai Liu's small TV, more than half of them stepped on Bai Liu's small TV, the player Bai Liu got a title that is not worthy of the name, the game is really bad, everyone wants you to die soon~]

[Player Bailiu's central screen edge promotion position expires]

[The total number of steps is rising too fast, the player Bai Liu enters the (death comedy) partition screen, use your funny death and game skills to please everyone! 】

Wang Shun watched helplessly as the small screen on the edge of the central area flickered, and Bai Liu's small TV went dark. The players behind him were still laughing at this rookie player who had fallen from the central screen area to the death comedy area. Only Wang Shun sighed. With a sigh of relief, he pushed his glasses, thinking of the god-level wandering npc information he hadn't collected yet, hesitated for a while, and got up and went to the death comedy partition screen.

...

Night falls.

The driver was driving the van on the darkened street, the street lights on both sides were flickering, and there were fishermen dragging fishing nets and machetes on the street, watching the van passing by them with a kind of dull eyes .

These are all the fishermen who will participate in the mermaid fishing activity tonight.

Under the dim street lights of these people, the marble-like blue and black lines on their faces are densely intertwined on their faces, and some sticky liquid drips down from them, looking... like a fish with its scales removed Afterwards, the slippery layer of skin underneath looked even more terrifying than during the day, and the eyes emitted a dim green light in the dark.

The driver warned again: "These townspeople are very dangerous. They have had no income for a long time. You can watch mermaid fishing later on the designated boat. Don't touch them. You look like foreigners at first glance. Easily robbed."

While the driver was talking, he was chewing the sandwich in his hand. This man also ate sandwiches for dinner, and the minced meat of the fish steak fell from his mouth. Bai Liu smelled the rotten fish smell that made him want to vomit. But no one else in the car seemed to smell this smell except him, and Andre watched the driver's sandwich dinner keep swallowing, and kept putting his ears behind his ears anxiously.

Lucy couldn't hold back and said, "This sandwich smells so good."

Andre was extremely irritable: "What did we eat for dinner! I'm starving to death!" He said and looked at Bai Liu behind him with a very disgusted look.

The group of them ate at the museum at night, Bai Liu ordered the cheapest vegetarian feast, and didn't want any fish. Not only did Andre lose his temper, even Lucy was shocked, but Bai Liu paid the bill the most, He said that if he doesn't want to eat fish, everyone can only accompany him.

Andre cursed: "If you can't afford the money, don't come out to play adult games, go back and eat your mother's vegan milk!"

Bai Liu just smiled slightly: "I think so too, if Andre wants to eat meat, order it yourself."

He withdrew Andre's vegetarian set meal, and all the set meals in the museum were very expensive, and Andre couldn't afford it at all, but Bai Liu said he wouldn't give it to him if he didn't.

Andre didn't dare to trouble Bai Liu, after all, Bai Liu had to pay him the hotel bill at night, he didn't want to sleep on the streets in this kind of town, but Jeff didn't care, so Jeff was robbed by Andre The all-vegetarian set meal was also punched by Andre a few times, and he kept huddling in the corner and covering his stomach without making a sound.

Now smelling the sandwich, Jeff kept sliding his Adam's apple up and down, his eyes showing suppressed longing, and then looking at Andre, his eyes were so red that they were about to bleed.

[Jerf's Bloody Conspiracy - 30% progress in branch line]

Bai Liu looked at Jeff with his head bowed.

Andre was so irritable by the smell of hunger and food, he couldn't help pinching his itchy ear, Bai Liu noticed that the red skin behind Andre's ear suddenly opened and closed All of a sudden, several arc-shaped folds appeared, opening and closing like fish gills for breathing, but only for a moment, and soon the piece of skin stuck back tightly.

That piece of skin seemed to be alive, agitating slightly.

. . . fluttering slightly like the closed gills of a fish on shore.

Bai Liu swept Andre with a coin.

[npc name: Andre (highly alienated)]

After coming out of the museum, Andre's degree of alienation increased...

Bai Liu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Andre, did you touch those mermaid sculptures in the museum?"

"So what if you touch it?" Andre turned his head and said viciously: "Bai Liu, let's see tonight who is the one who should go home and drink milk!"

At this moment, Andre growled angrily, his cheeks swelled and opened on both sides in the dark car, and Bai Liu could clearly see the fin-like things behind Andre's ears violently Shaking, gray-black lines like fish scales appeared around Andre's eyes, the pupils in his eyes narrowed again, a subtle fishy smell emanated from his body, and the sweat became like sticky liquid on his bare skin. Glide on skin.

The driver suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Hey, boys, don't fight in our car!"

Andre retracted the gills in an instant, but his eyes still fell on Bai Liu fiercely.

Driver: "As you requested, I found you a duel, or a place for you to bet on, a remote beach and two wooden boats tonight. Be careful yourself. If you drown, I will not be responsible."

After a while, the driver seemed to be talking to himself with a low smile: "But you have been here for so long, you should not be drowned... You should be able to swim."

Bai Liu's face changed, he couldn't swim.

The residents in this town are all fish-like things, including the group of them who have only been here for a day, they are gradually becoming like fish, they like to eat strange fish meat, and their bodies exude a subtle fishy smell...

Fish are born to swim, and of course they don't drown.

Except Bai Liu.

The difference between him and the others is that he neither ate those weird fish meat nor let any mermaid sculptures approach him at night. Bai Liu speculated that these two things should have caused other people to be transformed into fish, but Bai Liu did not. Being assimilated, after Bai Liu makes a bet with Shanghai, his danger will definitely double.

Who knows what's in the sea, who knows if Andre will turn into a monster later and overturn his ship?
