The rotten mermaids looked at each other and slowly sank into the sea.

Mermaids and fish keep diving into the bubble. The bubble seems to be endless, swallowing up the incoming fish continuously. Bai Liu is the bait, sticking to the bubble to lure the mermaids into the trap. The audience in front of the small TV seems to have discovered what Bai Liu is going to do, but at the same time they are also wondering:

"What else can he do? The bubble is broken too. Without the outer barrier, only the inner barrier remains. It's like there's only a bunch of air left that won't leak out. He doesn't have any props to use, right?"

The bubble with only air left was like an embryo, wrapping around the mermaid monsters with twisted limbs stuffed inside. Bai Liu closed his eyes, leaned back and exhaled a long breath, and a string of bubbles came out of his cheeks. He loosened his hands that had grown flesh membranes, and the bubbles floated in front of him.

Bai Liu said to the system: [Take out a bottle of alcohol]

A bottle of alcohol appeared in the bubble and Bai Liu kicked it away.

The transparent alcohol began to fill up slowly from the bottom. Bai Liu reached his hand into the bubble, lit the lighter, and tossed it in with a calm expression. He took it back before the monster could reach out and touch his hand. A burning fireball suddenly lit up at the deepest bottom of the sea.

The roar of the mermaid and the flickering flames were reflected on Bai Liu's face, casting a mixture of light and dark.

At this moment, the audience realized that Bai Liu was actually smiling.

The combination of his shallow smile, the firelight, and the bright green fish scales reflecting on his willow-white nose and under the corners of his eyes made him look subtly inhuman, more like a suppressed monster from the deep sea than a mermaid burning in bubbles.

The mermaids' hands, which were licked by flames in the transparent bubble, slapped the bubble in despair, leaving blue-green bloodstains and dirty handprints on the bubble wall. Smoke rose and swirled in the sphere, quickly obliterating the mermaids' faces which became increasingly ugly due to the pain of the struggle.

Bai Liu was floating quietly in the water, watching the mermaids who had attacked him being easily destroyed by the flames. Bai Liu had an indifferent and subtle smile on his face, and that smile revealed a kind of cruelty and strength that was even more creepy than that of the monsters.

After Bai Liu used this burning bubble to clear a wave of mermaid monsters, he dragged it and used it as a [flaming torch in the water]. Not only could it be used for defense, but because of the small hole in the bubble in the water, it could also be used to swallow the mermaids and attack and destroy the monsters. It can be used for both offense and defense.

Bai Liu completely used the mermaids as fuel. The rich oil that overflowed from the burning of the mermaids was even more vigorous than the fire produced by the burning of alcohol. The "fireball" on the seabed swallowed more and more mermaids.

The flames grew brighter and brighter, and the aroma of barbecue emanated from the burning mermaid, causing these monsters, driven by instinct, to dive into Bai Liu's bubble one after another, wanting to eat. This almost formed a strange scene -

——Bai Liu stood aside, watching calmly as the mermaid monsters dived into the bubbles in the water and lined up to commit suicide in front of him, while he rested leisurely.

The audience in front of the screen was completely stunned. Many of them were stunned, not knowing how to evaluate this bug-like solution.

Even Mu Sicheng, who was used to the ups and downs of life, couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He pulled his hat down to cover his face in frustration, "Bai Liu, this is too much. This makes me look so stupid when I was clearing the level. I got ripped off and ran around everywhere."

"I'm convinced. I'm completely convinced." Wang Shun exclaimed repeatedly.

"Flame-type props are very destructive to mermaids, but they cannot be used at the bottom of the sea because there are no burning conditions, just like Mu Ke's flame torch was not usable at the bottom of the sea. But with bubbles in the water, these props can be used."

"But the prerequisite is that people cannot stay in the [submerged bubble], and the [submerged bubble] must be broken, so that the [barrier function] of the bubble against the fish and monsters outside will be lost."

"This is equivalent to scrapping the item, leaving only the bubble's barrier function for the fish school. Once the mermaids get in, they can't get out easily. It turns a defensive item into an offensive item, trapping the mermaids and burning the monsters. It's a very impressive item modification."

Mu Sicheng nodded: "Bai Liu's previous actions should be to lure the mermaids to attack his bubble. He needs a gap for these mermaids to get in."

"How did you come up with that?" Wang Shun sighed, "I feel like compared to Bai Liu, I'm just playing a game without using my brain."

"I don't think it's a brain-intensive method. It's easy to think of." Mu Sicheng shook his head. "Bai Liu's strength lies in his psychological quality."

"The [Water Bubble] item in Bai Liu's hand is brand new. He can hide in it and pass the level. Although the [Water Bubble] may be broken by the mermaid, the risk is lower and it gives people a sense of psychological security."

"But completely abandoning a relatively safe environment, breaking the [bubble barrier] that protected him, and calmly using himself as bait to lure mermaids, killing all mermaids through this broken [barrier gap], and burning all monsters that threaten him. This behavior of not caring whether he can survive and killing all monsters is really..."

"Extreme and crazy." Mu Sicheng commented.

The ordinary audience, who were so excited just now that Bai Liu was about to fall into the bubble, were even more embarrassed:

"My God, Bai Liu bought alcohol so early to prepare for the next level... Someone mocked Bai Liu for buying too much alcohol and called him an idiot. Now I think he is the idiot. Yes, that's right, I am talking about myself."

"I counted them, nine bottles is just about right, and Bai Liu bought the alcohol when it was the cheapest, so he didn't spend any extra points. I'm impressed. What kind of brain can make all the plans fit so perfectly..."

"...Bai Liu has cleared all the monsters in the map "Siren Town", right? This is the first time I've seen someone clear all the monsters in a map..."

The group of players who had ridiculed Bai Liu in the corner before had extremely gloomy faces. Many of them had laughed at Bai Liu for buying too much useless alcohol.

Now Bai Liu's use of alcohol is so brilliant, which highlights the shallowness of those who laughed at him before.

This group of people became quiet instead, huddled in a corner and didn't dare to say a word.

On the small TV, Bai Liu was dragging a whole burning "mermaid ball" in his left hand. Except for a few mermaids that didn't come over, the mermaid monsters on the seabed were almost cleared out.

But at this moment, the eyelids of the Siren King, who was held by Bai Liu's right hand, suddenly trembled, and the fish tail gently flapped. Bai Liu, who was holding the Siren King, suddenly felt a shock in his brain, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, which quickly drifted into the water:

[System warning: Player Bai Liu is affected by the awakening of the Siren King. His current mental value is 21, falling below the second mental value safety line of 40. The player is about to see a lot of hallucinations.]

Bai Liu only felt a buzzing in his head. If the spirit value of 41 just now made him feel like drinking fake wine, now that the spirit value suddenly reached 21, Bai Liu felt that it was similar to the feeling after eating poisonous mushrooms as described on the Internet. All he could see were colorful, kaleidoscope-like glass fragments.

All kinds of strange sounds overlapped into a chaotic noise in Bai Liu's ears. He felt as if he was in an underground disco in the 1970s and 1980s. He had a splitting headache and his limbs seemed not to belong to him and he had lost control of them.

His retina diffracted a myriad of colorful halos, with human faces crawling out of the halos. There were these mermaid monsters, as well as various people and things that Bai Liu encountered in the real world. Bai Liu even saw the boss of his company, as well as the faces of Jelf and Andre growing on these mermaid corpses.

They laughed weirdly and rushed towards Bai Liu.

In an instant, these mermaid monsters disappeared again. Bai Liu saw the Siren King in his hand slowly open his eyes and look at him. The next second, the Siren King turned into Lucy's smiling face. Lucy held Bai Liu's hand and snuggled in his arms. She smiled at Bai Liu and whispered, "I love you." However, Lucy's hand was inserted into Bai Liu's chest.

Blood dripped slowly from Bai Liu's chest and evaporated in the water. Lucy dug out Bai Liu's heart and swallowed it in big gulps. Blood and flesh dripped from the corners of her happy mouth. She leaned forward and kissed Bai Liu's cheek, and was about to kiss him.

The monster transformed into a mermaid with a rotten face, opened its mouth wide and bit Bai Liu's shoulder. The sharp pain from the shoulder blade made Bai Liu's overly drowsy mind clear up a little.

This seems to be true, Bai Liu thought casually.

Wang Shun saw Bai Liu's pupils were out of focus and his hands and feet were weak as he floated in the sea. He thought to himself that something was wrong and his face darkened: "Not good! Bai Liu has entered a stage of massive hallucinations!"

Soon, a merman bit Bai Liu's shoulder. Bai Liu did not react at all, but only twitched his shoulder slightly, which verified what Wang Shun said.

Wang Shun was getting a little anxious. He didn't care that Bai Liu couldn't hear what he said. He just shouted at the small TV: "Buy props to increase your spiritual value! Bai Liu! Increase your spiritual value!"

"No." Mu Sicheng shook his head and interrupted Wang Shun, "You can't float. If the spirit value is floated to 60, Bai Liu will be directly released from the mermaid mutation state."

"He is still in the deep sea. If the mermaid mutation is resolved, Bai Liu will become a normal person and he will be drowned. Moreover, in such a deep sea, Bai Liu is more likely to be exploded into pieces of meat due to the difference in internal and external pressures."

Wang Shun looked at Bai Liu floating motionlessly in the sea and became anxious: "What should we do? If we don't increase his mental strength, his mental strength will keep decreasing if he is constantly attacked by mermaids. When it drops to 0, he will become a complete monster!"

Mu Sicheng took a deep breath and said, "We can only rely on... Bai Liu himself. He needs to stay awake in this high-intensity hallucination."

Bai Liu couldn't distinguish between illusion and reality, but he was not like Wang Shun thought, who was motionless and unresponsive to the illusion. Bai Liu just couldn't tell the direction, but he knew that the place he was going was the bottom of the sea, so he took the stupidest and simplest method, which was to relax his body and let himself sink.

He was a fish now, not a human. He let go of the [bubble in the water]. He was holding a Siren King in his other hand. Logically, he could sink smoothly as long as he didn't move. As for being attacked by these mermaids during the sinking process—

Bai Liu closed his eyes and stretched his body completely. The coin in his white shirt strangely floated up from his collarbone, showing that it was not a real coin. The mermaid swam back and forth around the sinking Bai Liu and bit him.
