Chapter 17

The sailors put down their fishing nets on both sides of the boat, muttering strangely, Bai Liu only heard the gift from the Siren King, and Zeref stood by the side of the boat and looked down, with a strange expression on his face. Fanatic expression: "They are praying to the Siren King, praying that the Siren King will give them a plump mermaid."

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. Sticking to the top, the twelve tourist mermaids are like dolls in the garbage dump, twisted into a certain posture in the net, staring at the people on the boat with eyes fixed, with hideous or frightened expressions on their faces, His body was full of bite marks, as if he was killed by some kind of 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 sculptures and sent to museums..."

"But there will only be four sculptures in the museum tonight, because there are only four tourists, what about the extra mermaids that were salvaged?"

"Of course it's for us to eat..."

The caught mermaid was quickly sent to the kitchen to make a big meal and served it on the deck. Except for Bai Liu, the other three people didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with eating the mermaid, and sucked/sucked their fingers crazily. The mermaid was pushed to the center by the sashimi steak, and the wet head was held and chewed by Lucy. The female mermaid's thick hair slipped out from Lucy's mouth, and she smiled at Bai Liu: "Bai Liu, why don't you come over here?" Eat, the fish tonight is really fresh."

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

Andre is biting a wrist 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 mermaid's belly to eat the internal organs. He seemed to be able to maintain his sanity, but his hands were moving faster and faster, mechanically stuffing fish or human flesh into his mouth.

The sailors stared at Bai Liu, they put the plate full of raw mermaid meat in front of Bai Liu forcefully, showing strange smiles: "If you don't eat mermaid meat, it's Bai Liu who came here, Mr. Bai."

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

[Mission reminder: If you don’t eat mermaid meat, the mermaid fishing onlookers will be deemed a failure]

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

The mermaid meat has a very strange sour smell at the entrance, but when the meat passes through the throat, it turns into a subtle sweetness, and all the mermaid meat in front of Bai Liu begins to have a strange lure/ Huo Li, even a person like Bai Liu, who has always had a moderate appetite, has an uncontrollable urge to eat Hesai in front of the table full of fish and meat.

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 remote small piece of sea area, why can so many mermaids transformed from dead people be produced, and it is not enough to fill the entire 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/watered by mermaids into sculptures, or eaten.

No wonder the body of the sailor, and the townspeople in the town, all look like some kind of scavenging fish, which may also be related to eating corpses for a long time.

But I just don't know who killed those tourists... Bai Liu had a vague guess in his heart. This is a robbery town. Most of the missing tourists in this town have lost property. From the case of robbery and disappearance, it can be seen that Siren Town is not a place with very simple folk customs.

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, so many tourists died, Bai Liu tends to be tourists who were robbed and assassinated and then dumped their bodies in this place. It is difficult to go ashore to hunt tourists during the day, but at night, during the popular tourist season in Siren Town, these mermaids are all caught up for tourists to watch, and the probability of mermaid killing is not high...

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 raised ~mermaids, and then turned it into a ~mermaid fishing gimmick, using it as a tourist industry to attract more tourists, so that they can 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 child], in order to promote economic development and cover up the crimes of the townspeople, to prevent the criminal records of the townspeople from being discovered, and to further expand this [mermaid tourism], Bai Liu felt that The mayor of the town is perfectly capable of turning the fished mermaids, or corpses, into sculptures and putting them in museums, or letting the residents eat them directly.

Of course it is impossible for the police to catch or find any bodies, all of them were eaten or poured into cement. …

Those mermaid sculptures irrigated the corpses of the previous tourists, and the ghosts of the previous tourists were imprisoned inside. These ghosts began to curse the residents of the town for revenge, turning these residents into their amulets, and returning the corpses In the process of alienation, residents will become like fish, while mermaid sculptures will change into ~human beings, 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.

According to this inference, there is still one thing missing. The shape of the mermaid sculpture, pupa, cocoon, and butterfly are all three, but Bai Liu squinted. According to the growth law, the mermaid sculpture still lacks one state, that is Larvae, the most numerous and also the most vulnerable larvae.

And the larva is... Bai Liu slowly clutched his belly, the piece of fish he ate just now seemed to be wriggling wetly on the wall of his stomach, Bai Liu looked at his fingers that were starting to turn pale, and the fish scales looming on his skin He could feel the itching/itching on both sides of his mandible, and he had the illusion that gills were about to grow. Bai Liu turned around slowly, and the three people who came with him were still eating crazily, almost losing their humanity Especially Andre, he almost lay down on the table and stuffed something into his mouth violently, his hair had turned into bony spurs standing up like fish fins, and the bridge of his nose was covered by dark green fish scales.

[Warning: Player Bai Liu has entered a state of alienation, and his mental value is declining. Please pay attention to distinguish between game reality and game illusion]

Bai Liu thought in his heart, this is the last monster in the monster book, this is the last form of the mermaid sculpture, the larva state, any tourists who enter Siren Town, or residents who do not leave Siren Town, will be alienated Become this kind of thing, a form that is the weakest and most likely to be eaten, slaughtered and robbed.

And the white willow is now the weakest form of the mermaid sculpture, the larval form.

Andre wiped the carrion foam around his mouth, and pushed away the table. His mouth had turned into that kind of fine and sharp teeth, which went all the way through the entire jaw. It was as big as a clown, and there was a lot of bloody fish inside. The minced or the minced corpse fell as he spoke: "Bai Liu, do you still remember our bet?"

Bai Liu was attracted by the smell of fish meat on Andre's body, he blinked his eyes slowly: "I remember, spending the night on the boat, right?"

Andre cracked a ferocious smile all the way to the back of his head: "Why don't we spend the night in this sea full of mermaids?" He looked at Bai Liu, stretched out his long tongue and licked the skin around his face. The remnant, tall and majestic, stood in front of Bai Liu, smiling more and more maliciously.
