Chapter 16 Siren Town



When Bai Liu was buying props, he saw a popular prop called [Water Bubble], which allows players to breathe and float in a bubble for two hours, and can also drive away fish and prevent them from approaching.

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

From Bai Liu's critical perspective, this item has no added value other than allowing people to breathe underwater. Selling it for more than 70 points is pure fraud. Anyone who buys it is paying an IQ tax to the game store.

Of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he can't swim and doesn't want to jump into the water. It's just that as a Grandet, he naturally wouldn't do such a wasteful thing, nor would he go for the game design route that he thinks has no aesthetic appeal.

Bai Liu looked up at the warehouse door and saw that it began to creak, as if someone had come back and was about to lock it.

If it were an ordinary player, he would be extremely nervous at this moment and would want to run away from this pile of gloomy and miserable old wax statues.

But Bai Liu calmly turned off the flashlight, walked into the wax statue, found a dark corner, unbuttoned his shirt, wrapped his lower limbs with the gray cloth on the ground, pretending to be a wax statue, and did not move.

The eyesight of this group of mermaid wax statues was not very good. They searched for Bai Liu blankly, but stopped when they didn't find her.

The warehouse door shook a few times and slowly opened. Two sailors came down the stairs carrying a dim light and whispered hoarsely:

"Let's count the wax images..."

"I counted them several times, there can't be any mistakes..."

"After tonight, there will be four more wax statues here. Let's send these four people to the wax museum first. The wax statues there have been guarding the Siren King for too long. It's time for them to take their amulets out and move around..."

"Guard the Siren King well and don't let him wake up and return to the water, otherwise we will all..."

Two sailors were standing on the steps above the warehouse, holding those old-fashioned small oil lamps and walking down with fixed eyes. In this extremely light-deficient environment, Bai Liu couldn't tell for a moment whether these two people in sailor uniforms were wax figures or real people.

They were too white, so white that they were opaque to the light. Under the close lighting, you couldn't even see the blood vessels on their faces and hands.

Sure enough, they are not human, Bai Liu thought to himself, as he turned his eyeballs slightly and looked at the two sailors.

But something was still not right. These two sailors were still in human form, but the monster book said "Mermaid Sailor". Bai Liu frowned slightly, and a premonition that something was not right gradually emerged in his heart.

One of the sailors was the one who told Bai Liu and the others not to run around on the deck. His eyes were dead silent, and his eyeballs were stiff as if they would not move. "Are you sure these amulets are okay? If they are, lock them up and secure them, or they will be smashed when the waves come and the boat shakes. Last time, an amulet was smashed, and the sailor is still in the sea and can't get ashore."

The two sailors walked up to the group of wax figures and started fixing them with chains.

Bai Liu held his breath, his eyes fixed on the open warehouse door, and began to slowly move towards it.

One of the sailors seemed to hear the wax statue talking. He paused, frowned, turned his head and said to the wax statue: "You said, did you see any tourists here just now?"

Bai Liu's face darkened.

It was a bad idea. I didn't expect that these sailors could actually communicate with their amulet wax statues.

It seemed that this chase was inevitable, but it was much better than being on the deck, after all, there were only two sailors.

Bai Liu's brain was working rapidly, thinking about the best countermeasure. His physical condition was so poor that he would surely die in the pursuit, so he wanted to avoid the pursuit at first. He didn't expect that this was a deadlock. No matter whether he ran or stayed, he had to be pursued.

You can't outrun them, and you can't go up there because there are more sailors there. It won't be a chase battle, it will be a group attack, so you have to jump into the sea.

Bai Liu didn't want to jump into the sea, he thought calmly, what should he do?

The sailor approached the wax statue and suddenly laughed as if he had heard something very funny. The laughter echoed in the lower hold: "I didn't expect that a distinguished guest would stay here ahead of time. Please don't worry, you will come here sooner or later."

The sailor said as he walked to every corner with the oil lamp in his hand. The dim light of the lamp shone on his chin, making the smile on his face even more eerie. "...Please come out quickly. The evening fishing activity is about to begin. The mermaids are waiting for you in the sea."

In Bai Liu's brain storm, these sailors are obviously more difficult to deal with than those wax statues. These sailors are also a kind of monster. What are the weaknesses of these sailors?

In just a few seconds, the sailor was about to walk in front of Bai Liu. Bai Liu simply took out the flashlight and pointed it at the sailor. Unfortunately, the sailor just blocked his eyes with his hands and put it down as if nothing had happened. The smile on his face became more mysterious: "We are different from those things. We are not afraid of light."

The weakness is not light. The reaction to strong light seems to be the same as that of humans. Bai Liu's mind was working rapidly. Almost at the moment he put down his phone, he raised the wine barrel behind him and smashed it over. The wine barrel hit the sailor and broke into a pile of wood chips.

The two sailors had hard shells and none of the weaknesses of the mermaid wax statues. It was as if they had been reborn from the cocoon.

The sailor stared at Bai Liu in the dim warehouse, stretched out his hand to hold Bai Liu's wrist, tilted his head and gave Bai Liu a weird smile, his teeth were fine and sharp: "Come on, guests, let's go watch the fishing, under the sea."

Bai Liu looked directly at the sailors.

The sailor seems to have no weaknesses, but he is not a monster without weaknesses like the Siren King. After all, the system did not inform Bai Liu that the sailor is also a monster without weaknesses. Then the player should be able to resist with what he has at hand, otherwise there will be no fun.

But the sailor refused to take any attack, neither physical nor optical attacks were effective. This shouldn't be the case. According to Bai Liu's previous inference, both the mermaid sailor and the mermaid should be afraid of light, otherwise they wouldn't come out at night.

Bai Liu didn't think his inference was wrong. After all, the mermaid wax image was afraid of strong light, which had verified the correctness of this inference. However, the two sailors looked directly at the strong light without fear...

...Something is covering up their weaknesses...The front desk said before that the amulet can help them resist damage.

Bai Liu's mind raced as he searched for the wax statue of the sailor among the wax statues. He discovered that one of the wax statues had a tiny crack on its head, as if it had been hit on the head by a wine barrel. The wax statue's expression also changed from friendly to painful. It put its hands in front of its eyes, as if some light was shining directly into its eyes.

Bai Liu's eyes fixed, and he kicked sideways, his gaze locked on the wax statue of the sailor's amulet behind him. He flipped over with force and kicked the wax statue of the mermaid in the face.

The mermaid wax statue fell down and shattered into pieces in an instant, with foul-smelling black blood flowing out of it. The sailor who was holding Bai Liu's wrists at the back let out a sharp, high-frequency cry, like that of some kind of fish, which made Bai Liu's ears hurt.

The sailor's exoskeleton seemed to be shattered, and lime-like fragments began to fall off cracklingly, revealing the body inside.

In order to make it happen, Bai Liu also pulled out the wax statue of another sailor, grabbed its head and banged it on his knees, breaking it into pieces.

The sailor as a body is so powerful, but the wax statue as a talisman is as fragile as an eggshell. No wonder it has to be placed in the bottom warehouse for protection.

Both sailors let out a shrill cry, and the pure white color on their faces faded to bluish black, and their eyes moved to the sides and finally grew on their temples.

The "sailor" exuded a strong fishy smell, and his lower body turned into a wet, curly spotted fish tail like an eel. His mouth was filled with saw-like teeth. He lay prone on the ground, using his two strong, bulging hands to attack Bai Liu quickly like a gecko.

Bai Liu quickly turned on the flashlight and shone it directly at the other party. The sailor, who had no reaction just now, trembled and let out a more shrill scream.

After destroying the amulet protecting them, attacks like Bright Light become effective.

Bai Liu stood on the stairs and slowly backed away, pointing the flashlight at the two sailors who were climbing on the ground like geckos. The sailors lay on the ground, huddled outside the light, screaming and roaring unwillingly, trying to get close to Bai Liu. Bai Liu retreated from the bottom warehouse with his back to the door, then quickly closed the door and did not lock it.

After closing the warehouse door, Bai Liu could still hear the rustling sound of fish tails dragging on the ground coming from the bottom of the warehouse, as if there were a bunch of snakes underneath, and the warehouse door was shaking from being hit.

[Refresh of "Siren Town Monster Book" - Mermaid Sailor (3/4)]

[Monster name: Mermaid/Sailor (Butterfly State)]

[Weakness: Fear of strong light, Amulet (2/3)]

[Attack method: bite and grab (after being grabbed, there is a certain probability that the mutation state will be triggered]

Bai Liu calmed down and straightened his collar before walking out of the warehouse stairs. Lucy caught sight of Bai Liu in an instant. She took Bai Liu's arm and said as if complaining, "Where did you go just now? They said they were going to start the hunt."

"We have already reached that sea area." Lucy said with a smile. Fish-scale-like lines had already appeared on her face. Her eyes glowed in the dark. She held Bai Liu's hand, which felt strangely rough and smooth. Bai Liu took Lucy's hand away without making a sound and said, "Really?"

"Yes." Lucy laughed hoarsely, "The mermaid is here."
