Chapter 519

Lucy was also made a little hairy by Jeff, and she forced a smile: "Jerff, how can you be so sure that it is not your eyes that are dazzled, but the mermaid wax figure moved? This mermaid wax figure has no eyeballs, how do you know?" Is she looking at you?"

It was a milky white mermaid wax figure, made of cold wax, with a strange translucent texture, and some half-melted liquid droplets on the face.

Although the wax figure has carved eyes, it does not have black eyeballs. Its entire eyes are pure white, like some dead soulless creature standing at the entrance of the hotel.

"Didn't you notice?" Jeff's voice was getting lower and lower, and a little trembling, "No matter where our car goes, this wax figure is looking directly at our car, her eyes must be moving... ..."

"This...why do I think..." Lucy was obviously relieved, and finally smiled comfortably, "Is it the same as the portrait of "Mona Lisa's Smile"? No matter what angle you look at They all thought that the people in the portrait were looking at themselves.”

"No, this kind of situation where the people on the portrait are looking at themselves from any angle can only be produced on a two-dimensional plane, and three-dimensional cannot be produced, that is, it is impossible to have such a situation in a wax figure." Bai Liu retorted calmly Lucy, "Jeff is right, the wax figure's eyes are indeed watching us."

It was the same with those townspeople who started staring at them as soon as they came in, as if they were watching prey that entered their hunting grounds.

This thing must be some kind of monster.

As soon as he had this thought, the coin on Bai Liu's chest vibrated abruptly, and a brand new panel popped up. The game panel turned into a thick old medieval book, which was slowly opened in front of Bai Liu.

[Congratulations to the player for discovering the first game monster and unlocking the monster book——"Siren Town" special (1/4)]

A photo appeared on the page of the book. The pale face of the mermaid wax figure was soaked in the deep sea water. She only showed half of her face. Her eyes without carved eyeballs silently watched Bai Liu, as if she was about to crawl out of the photo.

[Monster name: Mermaid wax figure (chrysalis state)]

[Attack value:? ? ? (Unknown not unlocked, unlocked after battle)]

[Attack method:? ? (not explored)]

【weakness:? ? (not explored)]

Those places with question marks are like wet ink stains and stains, the specific handwriting cannot be seen clearly, and there are explanations in fluorescent fonts floating behind.

Below the weakness is a line of explanatory text:

[Note: By exploring and completing the information of the monster book page, you can get corresponding reward points and special rewards. If you collect all the monster book pages in a copy of the game, you can take away the most precious thing of a certain monster in the copy of the game]

The monster book in "Siren Town" has four pages, and Bai Liu can't turn the pages at the back. It shows that it has not been unlocked, and it should be a monster in another copy of the game.

It's a bit like fighting monsters and getting rewards. The higher the danger level of the monsters, the better [things] you can get in the end.

But looking at the exploration conditions, and even the battle, this is to encourage players to fight monsters to the death...

Bai Liu, a scumbag whose combat power was only as much as a female high school student's schoolbag, touched his chin deeply.

Lucy hugged Bai Liu's hand in a panic: "...is she really moving?!"

"How is it possible?!" Andre seemed to be infected by Bai Liu's eloquent words. A look of fear appeared on his face for a moment, but he was quickly suppressed. He mocked Bai Liu, "Bai Liu, you Coward! If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and make up these reasons to escape, just run! After you go back, you will automatically give up on Lucy, and then kneel down and lick/piss on my leather shoes!"

This should be the content of the bet between Bai Liu and Andre.

The driver moved a bit strangely, but in the end he said with a normal smile: "It's getting late, did you read it wrong? How can there be any moving wax figures? If there were any, our town would have protected them for making them." Sightseeing spots! That can make a lot of money! Our city produces wax, and the mermaid wax figure is just a feature of our town, there are everywhere, nothing special."

"We're here! Get out of the car! Have a good night's rest tonight, and get up and have fun tomorrow morning!" The driver opened the door and sent them off.

Bai Liu glanced back at the wax figure of the mermaid in the fountain. Looking from a distance, the wax figure was still facing them, with its head lowered meekly, staring at the water surface, as if it was not looking at them.

But Bai Liu clearly remembered that when their car just drove in, the front of the mermaid wax figure was not facing the hotel entrance, but the entrance.

There are also two mermaid wax figures on the left and right at the entrance of the hotel, holding a scepter in their hands, with a strange and twisted smile on the corner of their mouths, as if they are pretending to be waiters to welcome them, but their expressions seem to be forced to stand in front of them. here.

After they walked into the hotel, they found that there were large and small wax figures of mermaids everywhere. There was even a full-length mermaid wax figure behind the cash register, holding money in its hand, as if it was cashiering.

As the driver said, the mermaid wax figure seems to be a feature of Siren Town, and it can be seen everywhere, but this is too much, from the mermaid wax figure decoration of the floor lamp to the mermaid carving pen holder at the front desk, it is not only seen everywhere , but are inseparable.

These mermaid wax figures have a common feature - Bai Liu found that no matter where he went in the house, these mermaid wax figures placed in different positions would give him the feeling of looking directly at them.

Moreover, these mermaid wax figures have no eyeballs. Logically speaking, it is difficult for a wax figure without pupils to give people the feeling that it is staring at you, but Bai Liu has this feeling.

Such a large number of densely placed mermaid marble wax figures staring at you is really uncomfortable. Even Andre, who has been yelling and ridiculing Bai Liu as a coward, got goose bumps all over his body after entering, and could not help rubbing his arms. Jeff even shivered and hid behind Andre, as if he was not afraid of Andre hitting him.

Lucy Xiaoniaoyi... Da Niaoyi held Bai Liu's arm in a humane way, with a face as delicate and beautiful as a rose with a pale color, as if she was also frightened by the weird hotel decoration.

And Bai Liu communicated with the front desk calmly: "Hello, my surname is Bai, and I have reserved a room before."

At the front desk was a young man with a complexion as pale as marble. He was wearing a floor-length Scottish skirt. He stuttered as he walked, and seemed to have some mobility issues. When the young man stood still, it was even hard to tell whether he was a wax figure or a real person.

Bai Liu and his party leaned over, and when the man suddenly moved, even Lucy was startled, she thought it was the wax figure moving, covered her face and exclaimed: "Oh, my God! You are as white as It's a wax figure!"

"I'm sorry." The front desk looked at them and said apologetically, "I have albinism, I'm sorry for scaring you! Mr. Bai? You booked four rooms a week ago for a week, and the fee has already been paid. , the room card is here, I wish you the best of luck."

Bai Liu took the room card, and when he heard that he had reserved four rooms, he was actually relieved.

He didn't really want to share a room with Lucy.

Lucy seemed to understand this too. The woman who was frightened just now recovered quickly, and she used a method of [Oh! baby! You are so shy! ] looked at Bai Liu teasingly, but was ignored by Bai Liu without changing his expression.

"I want to ask, why are there so many mermaid wax figures in your hotel?"

The front desk replied in a calm tone: "Sir, the mermaid gave us everything. The town of Siren originally had nothing. Since the body of the mermaid was salvaged, more and more tourists came here. We got money and everything, so We are very grateful to the mermaid. Here, there are many wax figures of mermaids in every household, which are like amulets for us."

Bai Liu pointed to the mermaid wax figure behind the front desk: "Your mermaid wax figures are also very rich, with all kinds. The one behind you looks exactly like you, and its material seems to be different from other wax figures. Too much the same."

In fact, it's no wonder that Lucy can't tell the difference between this person and the wax figure. It's really that the wax figure of the mermaid behind the front desk is exactly the same as the front desk, and even the expression is more vivid than the real person, which can be called a bit hideous.

The eyes of this mermaid wax figure stared straight at the front desk standing in front of it, no matter where the front desk went, it didn’t look away, as if it was about to run out of the wax figure with claws and claws and tear up the front desk that looked exactly like itself. It's so normal, it makes people shudder to see.

The other mermaid wax figures look a little melted, but the material of this mermaid wax figure does look more transparent and new, not as thick and dusty as other mermaid wax figures.

"Yes, sir." The receptionist raised his eyes and looked directly at Bai Liu, "The mermaid wax figure on the back is my amulet. We will make the mermaid wax figure into our shape. When disaster strikes, these mermaid wax figure amulets will be destroyed. The devil mistook us and melted away in our place."

Bai Liu felt a little interesting, this [talisman wax figure] was obviously different from other mermaid wax figures.

[Players gain new knowledge—"Siren Town Monster Book" Mermaid Wax Figure Panel Refresh]

[Monster name: Mermaid wax figure (chrysalis state), amulet wax figure (cocoon state)]

Chrysalis and cocoon? This monster named [Mermaid Wax Figure] also has two different states?

Bai Liu slowly thought about it. The pupa is the state when the adult insect has not yet broken its shell. It breaks out of the cocoon and becomes a butterfly. The cocoon is the state after the adult insect has successfully hatched, or it can be said to be the shell left behind.

Protect your own shell, which is consistent with what the front desk said about the shell against attacks...

It is estimated that this mermaid wax figure has two states of [worm] and [butterfly]. Bai Liu intuitively feels that these two states should be more aggressive than [chrysalis] and [cocoon].

At present, it seems that the mermaid wax figures in [chrysalis] and [cocoon] states have no intention of actively attacking people, but it is also possible that [attack] is in a way that Bai Liu is unaware of, such as mental pollution.

He felt that the wax figures of mermaids all over the hall were staring at the player, which was quite mentally polluted.

Bai Liu distributed the room cards. Lucy lingeringly wanted to sleep in a room with him, but Bai Liu said "I haven't proved my bravery for you, I don't deserve to really have you!" ] The reason was dismissed.

Lucy went back very touched, and before leaving, she was very hotly preparing to kiss Bai Liu goodbye, but was stopped by the angry Andre.

Thanks Andre! Hope nothing happens to Andre tonight!

Bai Liu sincerely hoped that Andre could live a little longer.

This girl is warm and generous and likes him very much, she belongs to the type that Bai Liu is not good at dealing with.

Bai Liu opened his room with his room card, and he stopped walking in as soon as he opened it.

The npc played by Bai Liu is rich, and he booked a better room. The decorations in the room are exquisite and detailed, but the room is full of mermaids, from the shape of the lamp to the wax figure on the bedside table. Under the dim light, there is a kind of oily Moist texture.

As soon as Bai Liu brushed in, the eyeballs of these white mermaid wax figures seemed to move undetectably, and they all looked at Bai Liu.

The panel pops up:

[Activate the main task: Player Bai Liu will safely spend tonight in the house, survive until tomorrow, and not be hatched - task completion reward: 20 points]

This should be something like Game Manager.

Bai Liu put the necklace in his clothes and put it away, he didn't like to see this kind of destroyed coins.

Bai Liu poked his head out from the back seat of the car. This is a seven-seater van. Besides Bai Liu lying in the back row, there were four other people in front. As soon as he poked his head out, someone looked at him in surprise: "Bai Liu, hey , my little sweetheart, you finally woke up!"

Except for Bai Liu, these six people obviously look like foreigners. The one who called Bai Liu's little sweetheart was a girl with big/wavy brown curly hair, red lips and brown eyes, wearing hot pants and suspenders. The moment Bai Liu saw this person, the coin on his heart popped out of the panel, with character information written on it:

[npc name: Lucy]

[Character introduction: Your classmate likes boys like you very much, but you are too shy to face Lucy who is ten centimeters taller than you and who is enthusiastic and bold]

Bai Liu's gaze paused subtly for two seconds on [Too shy], then quickly withdrew his gaze and fell into thinking.

In order to trigger the npc panel information in this game, it seems that the player needs to see it himself. It is the same as playing an online game where the mouse needs to be placed on it to pop up the information. The player's eyes are now equivalent to the player's mouse and gamepad.

He thought about it, and it seemed that at least he couldn't lose his eyesight in this game.

Lucy winked at Bai Liu: "Hey, baby, did I make you tired? You slept all the way from the time you got in the car."

Bai Liu, who had been single for a long time, was in a slightly complicated mood: "..."

Painlessly ended single life.

He changed the topic in time, Bai Liu looked at the increasingly remote and cold scenery outside the window, and asked, "Where are we going? Why does it look so remote?"

"It seems that some coward wants to run away again." A sarcastic male voice came from the front, and a tall man in tight jeans and a sports T-shirt looked at Bai Liu with disdain. The man's figure was too muscular, his jacket was stretched to the point of bursting, and he looked like a rugby player.

He sized up Bai Liu condescendingly, and said with a sneer: "It's late, Bai Liu, even if you're a coward and want to run away, it's too late, we're already on our way to Siren Town."

The panel pops up:

[npc name: Andre]

[Character introduction: Your rival in love, who likes Lucy but was rejected by Lucy, is very hostile to you. Before, you made a bet with him to protect Lucy in the most dangerous place in the world to prove your love for her, so a group of you drove to Siren Town. You regretted it before getting into the car, and even cried a lot. You were forced into the car by Andre]

Bai Liu had seen the place name "Siren Town" twice in a row. He ignored Andre's taunts at him and asked, "Siren Town, what is it?"

Andre snorted again, and was about to continue mocking, when a continuous whisper interrupted him:

"Siren Town, the only seaside town in history where the remains of the siren were found. In history, many people said that they had seen the figure of the siren here, or heard the wonderful story of the siren mermaid in the waves. Singing, I have also seen these strange-looking mermaids and sea-monsters feasting on human corpses on the dark reef..."

"Jelph! Those are just stories fabricated by Siren Town to deceive tourists to go sightseeing!" Andre interrupted the other party impatiently, but even so, an imperceptible fear flashed across his face quickly.

A small boy with glasses with a thick beer bottle and wine cap hugged the book on his chest and flinched. He seemed a little afraid of Andre, but he still mustered up the courage to retort in a low voice: "Then how do you explain it? The mysterious disappearance of tourists in Siren Town! Last month, twelve tourists completely disappeared in Siren Town! The police searched everywhere but found no results, and no one has seen them leave Siren Town..."

Bai Liu looked at the panel.

[npc name: Jeff]

[Character introduction: A strong fan of unnatural creatures such as mermaids and sea monsters. After learning that Lucy and his party are going to Siren Town, they actively ask to go together, and they know the legends of Siren Town very well]

Andre said: "Most of these people fell into the water and drowned themselves. It's normal for people to drown at the beach."

Jeff was very dissatisfied: "The police have been organizing the salvage for a month, and they haven't recovered any corpses. Even if they really fell into the sea, it's not normal..." As he spoke, his tone was low and dark When I got up, there was still a hint of excitement, "Unless their bodies were eaten by sirens, so the police can't salvage them..."

Andre finally got angry, and he slapped Jeff on the head: "Shut up! You damn four-eyed boy! Mermaid mermaid all day long! I think you look like a mermaid!"

Andre struck hard, Bai Liu could clearly see that Jeff's head knocked against the edge of the seat, and hit Andre again dizzily. This completely enraged Andre, he slapped Jeff several times with his hands, causing one of Jeff's teeth to fly out.

Jeff bowed his head in silence to pick up his own teeth, then looked at Andre with a very dark and hateful look, and mouthed a word very lightly.

The others didn't hear it, but Bai Liu's hearing was always good. He heard Zeref say: "The mermaid will definitely tear you up and swallow you, Andre."

Bai Liu raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything. The relationship between the characters of this npc is really complicated.

It seems that it is not a day or two for Andre to beat and scold Jeff at will, and this Jeff seems to have planned a revenge plan with the "mermaid".

The driver of the car was a local from Siren Town whom Bai Liu paid for. From Lucy's conversation, Bai Liu found out that he was still a rich second generation, and he paid for the board and lodging of the group, and he paid a lot of money for the driver, and he also asked the driver to help find a local hotel.

The car drove until late at night before reaching the mysterious Siren town. According to the driver's description, Siren Town is a small town that relies on fishing and helping to salvage sunken ships. developed through tourism.

But last month, there have been accidents with tourists. These tourists did not fall into the water as Andre said. Some of them disappeared in different corners of Siren Town before they even had time to go to the beach. For example, a tourist stayed in the hotel that night, but he disappeared early the next morning. The door was closed, and no one saw him go out. The bed in the room was still warm, but the person just disappeared.

Therefore, due to the disappearance of tourists, the town of Siren, which is in the peak tourist season, is unbelievably desolate, and many hotels and hotels are closed due to poor management.

Siren Town is indeed very dilapidated, with flying fences and fishing nets everywhere, dried shells, seaweed, and sand on the ground, only some hotels and hotels are well decorated. It was already late at night when Bai Liu and the others arrived, but there were still many pedestrians on the road.

These pedestrians originally went to the beach in unison, but as soon as Bai Liu and the others drove in, these townspeople who were going to the beach stopped in unison, turned their heads, and looked directly at Bai Liu's car.

Being watched by so many people together in the middle of the night, Lucy shuddered a little, she screamed softly, and retracted into Bai Liu's arms.

But she was much taller than Bai Liu, with a head protruding from Bai Liu's shoulder, it looked as if Bai Liu had shrunk into her arms.

Bai Liu: "..."

Bai Liu turned around and asked the driver: "It's already midnight, what are these people doing at the beach?"

The driver shook his head: "Recently, few people come to travel and the economy is in recession, so they can only rely on fishing for a living again. If you have never fished before, you don't know. Many valuable fish are afraid of strong light and only come out at night. , so they go to sea at night."

The townspeople looked at Bai Liu with strange eyes, their eyes glowed green like cats in the night, and there was a strange expression on their faces, as if they were laughing, but the corners of their mouths did not rise completely, on the contrary they were stiff Twitching at the corner of the mouth.

They still held fishing nets and hooks in their hands, and some of them held emulsified oil lamps in their hands. They stared intently at the car containing the white willow, and their eyes moved with the car, as if they would rush up and attack the car with the fishing gear in their hands at any time. generally.

"Be careful with these guys." The driver reminded, "They are short of money recently, but you are rich."

Because Bai Liu, a rich second generation, spent a lot of money, the driver arranged the group of them to the best hotel in the area.

This hotel is a very modern and luxurious five-star hotel. It is so luxurious that it is out of tune with the painting style of the whole town. There is actually a fountain pool at the entrance.

In the fountain pool, there is a mermaid statue made of white cold wax with limestone as the base.

The wax figure of this mermaid is lifelike. Under the dim moonlight, its lustrous skin shines almost like human skin. The long hair hangs down to cover her plump breasts, and the fish tail stands in the pool. She lowered her eyes, with a pitiful expression, and held a kettle in her hand. Some fake mica pearls were scattered in the kettle, and the fountain poured from the kettle and fell into the pool, making a sound like sea waves.

The driver bypassed the fountain pool at the entrance of the hotel and drove the car all the way to the main entrance of the hotel.

Jeff suddenly screamed. He pointed to the wax figure of the mermaid at the hotel door and shouted, "She was looking at me just now! She just moved!"

This item has good functions, but the price is more than 70 points, and it can only be used twice, so it is also a consumable item.

From Bai Liu's critical point of view, this item has no added value other than allowing people to breathe underwater. Selling more than 70 points is pure extortion. Whoever buys it is paying IQ tax to the game store.

Of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with him not knowing how to swim and not wanting to jump into the water. It's just because he, as a Grandet, naturally wouldn't do such a wasteful thing, and he wouldn't go in such a way that he felt unaesthetic. game design route.

Bai Liu looked up at the warehouse door, and the door really started to creak, as if someone came back and was about to lock the warehouse door.

If it was an ordinary player, at this time, they must be very nervous and want to run outside, away from this pile of gloomy and pale old wax figures.

But Bai Liu turned off the light of the flashlight calmly, walked into the wax figure, found a small dark corner, untied his coat and wrapped his lower limbs with a gray cloth on the ground, pretending that he was a wax figure, and did not move.

And the eyesight of this group of cocoon mermaid wax figures is not very good, so they searched for Bai Liu in a daze, but stopped when they couldn't find it.

The warehouse door swayed a few times, and was slowly opened. Two sailors came down the stairs with a small dim light, talking hoarsely and softly:

"Calculate the number of wax figures..."

"I counted it several times, and there is no mistake..."

"After tonight, there will be four more wax figures here. Let's send these four people to the wax museum first. The wax figures over there have been guarding the Siren King for too long. It's time to come out with their own amulets. It's..."

"Keep an eye on the Siren King, don't let him wake up and go back into the water, or we'll all have to..."

Two sailors stood on the steps above the warehouse. They carried the old-fashioned small oil lamps and walked down with staring eyes. Is the person in sailor costume a wax figure or a real person?

They were too white, so white that they couldn't see through the light, and the blood vessels on their faces and hands couldn't even be seen at such a close distance from the light.

Sure enough, they were not human, Bai Liu slightly rolled his eyes and looked at the two sailors, thinking.

But it's still not quite right, the two sailors are still in human form, and the monster book says "Mermaid Sailor", Bai Liu frowned unrecognizably, and gradually had a premonition that something wasn't right.

One of the sailors was the one who told Bai Liu and the others not to run around on the deck before. His eyes were dead silent, and his eyeballs were frozen as if they would not move. Shattered and smashed, last time it smashed an amulet, and the sailor is still in the sea and cannot go ashore."

The two sailors walked up to the group of wax figures and immediately began to fix the wax figures with chains.

Bai Liu held his breath, he looked at the open warehouse door, and began to slowly move closer to it.

One of the sailors seemed to have heard the wax figure talking, stopped for a moment, frowned, turned his head to the wax figure and said to himself: "You said, did you see tourists coming here just now?"

Bai Liu's face darkened.

I made a mistake, I didn't expect that this group of sailors could still talk to their amulet wax figures.

It seems that this chase must be chased, but it is much better than on deck, after all, there are only two sailors.

Bai Liu quickly turned his brain to think about the best countermeasures. With such poor physical fitness, he would definitely die in a chase. That's why he wanted to avoid the chase at first, but he didn't expect this to be a knot-like clasp. No matter whether he was going or staying, he had to chase it. .
