After Bai Liu got off the boat, according to the sailors' folk customs, he needed to stay in the wax museum until night to wash off the sin of watching the mermaid's killing before he could atone for his sin and leave.
Lucy and Jeff go to the wax museum with him.
The wax museum was dim in the early morning. The sailor sent Bai Liu here and warned him not to leave before nightfall. He asked the guard to watch Bai Liu and then left.
Lucy curled up behind Bai Liu and whispered, "Why is this wax museum still so scary even in the daytime?"
Everywhere there were wax statues looking down at Bai Liu and the others. The faces of these wax statues of mermaids were even more vivid than the ones Bai Liu had seen yesterday.
Bai Liu noticed that the fish tails of two of the wax statues had become shorter, with only the section below the knees remaining in the shape of a fish tail, while the thighs had become the shape of normal human legs.
Bai Liutian looked at the faces of the two wax statues with degenerated fish tails and found that they had a subtle resemblance to Lucy and Jeff.
The wax statue had a strange smile on its face and looked straight at Bai Liu and Lucy and Jeff behind him.
Just as Bai Liu guessed, Lucy and Jeff who stayed overnight here were indeed [sacrificed] and turned into [Mermaid Wax Statue Amulet]. The mermaid wax statue that enjoyed the [sacrifice] gradually turned into "Lucy" and "Jeff".
Right now, the wax statue should be in the intermediate state of transformation from "breaking the cocoon to becoming a butterfly". The "butterfly" in the mermaid wax statue has not yet fully hatched, and as the "coil" that is about to be broken, Lucy and Jelf still have a chance to live.
Bai Liu didn't want Jelf and Lucy to complete their transformation, not because of some idea of the Virgin Mary saving everything, but because once the transformation was successful, he would have to deal with two more powerful butterfly monsters.
Thinking of this, Bai Liu took out a flashlight and prepared to drive away these mermaid wax statues.
As a result, when the light was turned on, Lucy and Jeff went crazy before the wax figure. They howled miserably, and Jeff rushed forward like a madman and tried to snatch Bai Liu's flashlight. Bai Liu dodged in time and turned off the flashlight, and the two men calmed down after their last breaths.
Lucy collapsed to the ground weakly. She looked up at Bai Liu with a hint of resentment in her eyes: "Your flashlight is too bright, Bai Liu, are you going to blind us?"
Jeff even leaned on a wax figure and warned hysterically: "You'd better never open this thing again!"
Bai Liu waved his hands insincerely: "Sorry, I didn't know you were so sensitive to light."
In fact, Bai Liu knew that Jeff and Lucy would be afraid of light after being transformed into wax figures, but he didn't care whether these two people would be hurt. However, he didn't expect that these two people would resist so fiercely and try to snatch his flashlight.
These two people are different from the real mermaid amulet wax statue. They can move, and their speed is not slower than Bai Liu. If Bai Liu turns on the light and these two people rush to grab the flashlight, then Bai Liu will not be able to turn on the light.
This limits Bai Liu's use of props.
It seems that the plot has developed to this point. The game obviously restricts the player's use of the props - flashlight - to repel the mermaid wax statue through Lucy and Jeff. This means that there will most likely be a chase battle with the mermaid wax statue later. In order to make the chase more exciting, the game prohibits the player's use of strong light props.
Bai Liu often does this when designing games. For example, if a magic mirror is given, the monsters can be driven away. In order to create a thrilling effect where the monsters scare the players, Bai Liu will make the magic mirror have a CD (there is a rest period after each use).
During the CD period, players will be forced to hide from place to place to avoid being discovered and killed by monsters, which greatly increases the horror of the game.
Although Bai Liu was happy when designing this unpleasant plot, he was not so happy when he encountered it himself.
Bai Liu obediently put away the flashlight and raised his hands to indicate that he would not turn on the light easily again. At this time, Bai Liu consciously scanned the entrance of the wax museum with the remaining light. It was already guarded by the wax statue, which was still approaching him.
In this case, if he turns on the light, he will be attacked by Lucy and Jerph. If he doesn't turn on the light, he won't be able to repel the mermaid wax statue. Bai Liu will have to wait here until night before being released, and he will surely die.
Not only because these mermaid wax statues will come and possess Bai Liu, increase his degree of transformation, and turn him into a talisman wax statue, but there is also a very important point -
Bai Liu flipped the coin in his hand, and the panel popped up -
[Warning: The god-level NPC Siren King will wake up in seven hours. Please complete the game before then.]
As soon as this warning popped up, the new audience in front of the Bai Liu small TV cried out in unison.
Even Li Gou stood up, dragging his knife and squinting his eyes as he leaned closer to the small TV to watch. After a few seconds, he burst into laughter: "It turned out to be a real god-level NPC. This guy is going to be fucked to death by the god-level NPC. It's not my turn to deal with him. I told you to take my place. You deserve it."
Other viewers also expressed their regret:
"Originally, this place was a place where players could hide in the wax museum map until they were released at night, and then escape from the mermaid wax statues in a nighttime battle royal. Players would complete the game if they escaped from Siren Town, but there were god-level NPCs, so they couldn't survive until night."
"But just escaping from Siren Town resulted in a normal ending, and the evaluation and rewards were not high."
"I heard that the Shepherd played a true end, which is said to be the end only after the corpse of the Siren Banshee is sent back to the sea to seal the ghosts of the entire town. But this damn, the Siren Banshee in Bai Liu directly turned into the Siren King. When the Siren King woke up, it was just gg. What the hell is going on!"
"Both paths are blocked for him. This new guy is going to die."
Wang Shun's heart was lifted.
He didn't expect that Bai Liu actually went to the wax museum obediently!
If Bai Liu ran away halfway, triggering a chase and running out of Siren Town, there might be a glimmer of hope.
Now that I'm in the wax museum, I'm in a dilemma and really in a dead end.
Wang Shun sighed with regret in his heart. He objectively admitted that Bai Liu was a player with great potential, even as good as Mu Sicheng, but Bai Liu just lost a bit of luck.
—————
Bai Liu walked towards the central exhibition hall, and Lucy and Jeff followed behind him.
In the central exhibition hall, the body of the Siren King floats in a transparent, low-fluidity liquid and is placed in a glass display case.
Small bubbles floated like snowflakes between the Siren King's long hair and light-colored eyelashes, as if a layer of light snow had fallen on his body.
Bai Liu walked to the display case of the Siren King and looked up at the mermaid corpse which had not yet completely decayed.
The face of this mermaid is extremely beautiful, with a breathtaking sense of weirdness, as if the mermaid will open her eyes in the next second, use her long and powerful tail to fan the bulletproof glass coffin that imprisoned her, and return to the sea after a large number of slaughters.
Lucy looked around and asked Bai Liu, "Bai Liu, you said Andre is in the wax museum. Where is he?"
Without even turning his head, Bai Liu's eyes were still fixed on the Siren King in the display case. He said calmly, "Didn't you pass by him when you came in? Jelf even supported him for a while."
"Did I support him?" Jeff pointed at himself in confusion, "Bai Liu, there is no one else in this wax museum except the three of us."
"Yes." Bai Liu casually responded to Jerv, "When did I tell you that Andre is a human now?"
Lucy hugged her arms and rubbed them, then took two steps back in fear and shuddered: "Bai Liu, stop joking, where on earth is Andre?!"
Bai Liu seemed to hear the dull dragging sound of the wax statue. His ears twitched and he turned his head.
A ferocious-looking Andre the Mermaid stood behind Jeff and Lucy with its fangs and claws bared, as if ready to attack them.
Bai Liu raised the corner of his mouth calmly: "Lucy, Andre is behind you."
Lucy and Jeff turned around subconsciously, and then burst into an unprecedentedly intense male and female duet screaming. Bai Liu had already anticipated this and blocked his ears.
Andre's skeleton was taken away by the group of mermaids last night, and the Siren Wax Museum received two fresh sacrifices last night, namely Jeff and Lucy.
Logically speaking, there should be two mermaid wax statues in the Siren Wax Museum that can leave the museum by possessing the sacrifice. Then Andre's skeleton would naturally be made into a mermaid wax statue to fill the vacancy in the wax museum. That's why Bai Liu said before that Andre went to the wax museum.
However, although the possessed wax statues of Lucy and Jeff did not leave, the wax statue of the mermaid made by Andre was filled in.
Behind Andre there was a large group of wax statues that wanted to go inside. They stood densely at the entrance of the exhibition hall. These wax statues began to have somewhat subtle similarities with Bai Liu's faces, and it was obvious that they wanted to possess Bai Liu.
Bai Liu raised his eyebrows slightly and dodged Lucy who was trying to grab his arm and cry.
These wax statues are not dangerous to Lucy and Jeff, because they are already wax statues, and it is only a matter of time before they become wax statues.
The more troublesome one is Bai Liu, because these wax figures, Lucy and Jeff are all his enemies, and he is restricted from using flashlights, and alcohol cannot burn these wax figures.
The resistance of these wax images is much stronger than that of mermaid larvae. Currently, the only method Bai Liu can use to fight these wax images is to [look directly at them with human eyes].
However, the method of limiting the movement of wax images by "looking directly at them" actually has a big loophole - that is, people tend to blink.
Jeff and Lucy were no longer considered human beings, so their direct gaze had no effect on the wax figures. Only Bai Liu's eyes were useful.
Every time Bai Liu blinked, he could feel the group of wax figures getting closer and closer to him.
In the dim room, the wax statues of mermaids in various shapes began to melt slowly. Their faces became strangely unrecognizable, and then subtly became similar to Bai Liu. The wax statues had a strange and satisfied smile on their faces.
The wax was like a long fish lip, revealing a row of sharp, white teeth. The scales on the fish tail began to flake off and disappear like crumbs. The fishy smell in the air became increasingly strong.
Lucy and Jeff were sticking close to Bai Liu on both sides. As soon as Bai Liu took out the flashlight and failed to force the mermaid wax statue back, these two would be the first to go crazy.
Of course, Bai Liu had thought about killing Lucy and Jelf directly, but after killing these two mermaid amulets, the mermaid wax statues corresponding to these two amulets would instantly go berserk, and two mermaid sailor-level monsters would appear in the wax museum.
This thing moves very fast. Bai Liu's physical panel is still red. If he encounters it, without the terrain advantage of the base warehouse, he will definitely be defeated.
Seeing this, Wang Shun closed his electronic recorder, sighed with mixed feelings, and prepared to leave.
There were many spectators who were preparing to leave like Wang Shun. Almost no one was interested in watching a video of a game that was doomed to fail.
But before leaving, Wang Shun looked up and watched a small TV.
Wang Shun was stunned. He stopped and muttered to himself in disbelief: "Bai Liu...why is he laughing?"
Bai Liu lowered his head and slowly smiled. He thought that the game was quite interesting after developing to this point.
It’s a pretty good game. He hasn’t played such a highly playable horror game in a long time.
His fingers flipped the coin rapidly, and panels popped up one after another, dazzling the audience in front of his small TV.
Some viewers curiously moved closer to the small TV screen to see what he was doing:
"Are you panicking? Are you struggling to survive?"
"Item shop, monster book, mission panel... Wow, all the panels are clicked. What's the purpose of this? Spend all the points before you die?"
Wang Shun said nothing. He held his breath and watched Bai Liu on the small TV. He took out his electronic recorder again.
He could clearly see that Bai Liu was dealing with the situation at a very fast pace. It was not at all like what other spectators said that Bai Liu was panicking. Bai Liu was just handling things too quickly and it looked like he was just messing around.
At this point, Wang Shun also became nervous. He began to look forward to whether Bai Liu, this amazing newcomer, could miraculously turn the tide.
Bai Liu handled it calmly:
[Prop shop, I need a pickaxe that can smash bulletproof glass]
【17 points, deal】
[I need a mobile cart about two meters long that can transport large animal carcasses]
【7 points, deal】
[System, open the Monster Book Mermaid Wax Statue and Mermaid Sailor page]

Bai Liu's rapid operation made the players in front of the small TV numb. The players who were laughing before were now silent. Everyone stared at Bai Liu's smiling face as he switched between different panels quickly and easily.
The different colors of panel light reflected on Bai Liu's face, cutting his face into pieces. His calm and relaxed feeling was so convincing that anyone could tell that Bai Liu was not messing around. Several players asked weakly, "What on earth is he going to do..."
