Mermaid Town
Seeing Gu Lin and the Mermaid Mayor walking in hand in hand, all the players were stunned.
Their eyes slowly moved downwards and saw that Gu Lin's little hand was still holding two fingers of the Mermaid Mayor.
Players: “…………”
What is happening? Why does this scene look so warm?
If this wasn't a horror book, they would have mistakenly thought that the people appearing at the door were a grandfather and grandson.
The lady at the front desk smiled wider and her voice became sweeter: "Welcome to the Mermaid Inn."
The mermaid mayor is kind to Gu Lin, but not to others.
His cold gaze swept through the players one by one, and finally landed on Li Nan, who was lying on the ground screaming.
The mayor raised his hand and gestured behind him. Then, two medical staff in white coats came in carrying a stretcher.
Two medical staff walked straight to Li Nan, put the mermaid on the stretcher, and carried her away.
Players: “…”
Shit, they were carried away so soon?
The players' faces changed drastically.
Does this mean that once you become a mermaid, there is no chance of clearing the level?
Li Nan had obviously also thought of this possibility and shouted even louder, with screams coming from outside.
Because he shouted "Beautiful sister" a few more times, he got more food than other players, but he was also the first to become a mermaid.
But soon, Li Nan's voice stopped abruptly, and it was unknown whether the medical staff had done something to him.
Lin Xingchi asked, "Wait a minute, where are they taking him?"
Mayor Mermaid turned back into the weird old man with a fake smile. He narrowed his eyes and said, "This is not your concern."
Lin Xingchi: “…”
Why does it feel like this scene has happened before?
Lin Xingchi didn't care, he looked at Tuanzi.
Gu Lin also looked at his big brother, let go of the mayor's hand, ran happily towards Lin Xingchi, and opened his short arms: "Big brother."
When he ran closer, Lin Xingchi bent down and picked him up, then lifted him up high.
Gu Lin's character as a master of keeping things balanced remained unchanged. He looked at Su Qiao again and said, "Sister."
Su Qiao smiled and rubbed his furry little head.
The mermaid mayor suddenly lost his hand: "..."
The corners of the mermaid mayor's mouth twitched, and the lines on the dead bark deepened.
The other players couldn't help but sigh.
I didn't expect that the cub who was initially thought to be the NPC's afternoon tea treat, not only survived until now, but also actually fawned over the biggest NPC in the dungeon?
After sending the baby away, the mermaid mayor did not want to stay long.
Before leaving, he handed over several large bags of fruit in his hand to Gu Lin.
Gu Lin got down from Lin Xingchi's arms, ran to the mayor, and took the fruit with both hands.
The mermaid mayor faced Gu Lin and transformed himself into the mayor grandfather again: "Little kid, grandpa is gone."
Gu Lin waved his hand: "Goodbye, Grandpa Mayor. Go back slowly and be careful."
After hearing this, the mermaid mayor looked pleased.
The other players gasped when they heard this.
This little kid is truly ignorant and fearless.
The mayor looked at the caring cub and thought for a moment: "If there is a little pearl, grandpa will bring it to you first."
Gu Lin's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Grandpa Mayor."
Others throughout the process: “…………”
How on earth does one curry favor with the biggest NPC in the dungeon? Can you actually ask the dungeon boss to help you find pearls?
No, it seems that even the mermaid mayor can’t get the pearl?
If even the mermaid mayor can't get the pearl, there may be no real mermaids in this town.
Before the mermaid mayor left, he looked at the other players again, his eyes flashing with cold and evil light: "After the fog rises, stay in your respective rooms and don't walk around."
“…”
Now they would not think that the Mermaid Mayor gave such a special reminder out of kindness.
Rather, it is out of a desire to protect the "goods".
*
After Mayor Mermaid left, all the players gathered in Room 44.
Listening to the conversation between the mermaid mayor and Gu Lin just now, the little cub obviously knows that the tears of the cheating mermaid cannot turn into pearls.
He went to the hospital and might get some key clues, which would definitely be much more than what the players who slept for the whole morning could get.
After Li Nan turned into a fish and was carried away, there are only six players left.
Apart from the big guy in the double hat standing by the window, the other four players gathered around the bed in a circle, staring at the little Dumpling who was sitting cross-legged on the bed without blinking.
Gu Lin was holding a bottle of milk in his hand and drinking milk while being watched by four people, but he was completely unaffected and very calm.
Adults are just curious. What’s so interesting about watching him drink milk?
[I knew it. Zizi has so many clues. Now all the players want to get clues from Zizi.]
[I never expected that the one who explored the plot the fastest was Xiaozai. With this comparison, other players are even more impressed]
[But I don’t really care about it myself, it depends on whether these useless guys can get to the point]
[Fuck, these useless guys are all brought up by a kid who is less than two years old. Having a kid is a blessing for them.]
Everyone was extremely anxious and eager to know what Gu Lin knew, but they didn't have much hope.
After all, it is a cub less than two years old. Even if it sees or hears something, it may not remember it. Even if it remembers it, it may not know how to express it to them.
Moreover, it is very likely that the little cub may not take this crucial clue to heart, and may not even know that it is a clue.
Putting aside the clues for now, Lin Xingchi asked: "Tuanzi, how did you get to the hospital?"
The Gu Lin that everyone was worried about would not describe this situation, which obviously did not exist.
Gu Lin spoke clearly and logically, and his words were crisp and clear: "The baby woke up hungry and called big brother, but big brother ignored me, so I ran out. Brother Zhuang Mu took the baby to the hospital on a scooter to eat."
Brother Zhuang Mu?
Everyone remembered that it was the mermaid boy they met on the way to the hotel, the second most beautiful mermaid in Mermaid Town, the mermaid with a complete fish tail.
The mermaid I met before was riding a scooter to the hospital. I guess it was working in the hospital.
They didn't expect that Gu Lin's narration was so clear and he explained the whole story in just a few sentences.
Of course, they would not know how such a young boy like Gu Lin managed to escape, and why the mermaid boy named Zhuang Mu rode a scooter to take Gu Lin to the hospital for dinner.
There is no need to go into details about the reason. It is simply because this cub is too cute that everyone loves it.
After all, the mermaid mayor had to find pearls for him personally, so it didn't seem like a big deal that other NPCs were conquered by this cub.
Song Ran remembered what his aunt said in the barrage, that Gu Lin and the mermaid mayor were watching the fish, and that Li Nan was also carried away by medical staff just now.
It is very likely that these newborn mermaids were all taken to that hospital.
Song Ran: "Little ghost, you and Mayor Mermaid are looking at fish, what kind of fish are they?"
Gu Lin drank the milk and looked at Song Ran: "Zizi is not a little devil."
Song Ran: “…”
Others: “…”
"puff--"
Everyone else couldn't help but laugh.
The atmosphere instantly became more relaxed and lively.
Song Ran's eyes twitched. Now was the time to curry favor with this little kid. He patiently explained, "Little ghost is the same as little kid, little thing, and little carrot head. They are all names. It doesn't mean that you are really a little ghost. Do you understand, little ghost?"
Gu Lin puffed up his cheeks and turned into a little puffer fish again.
He understood, but he didn't want to be called a brat.
Song Ran was concentrating on the task and returned to the topic: "Okay, kid, tell your brothers and sisters what you saw in the hospital."
Gu Lin glanced at him and said, "And Uncle Song Ran."
Song Ran: “…………”
Damn, is it his turn to suffer Yu Qing’s embarrassment now?
He is only twenty-three this year and everyone is the same age. Why are the others brothers and sisters, but he is an uncle? His face isn't dark and he doesn't look old!
Lin Xingchi, Su Qiao and Xia Xue couldn't help laughing when they heard it. As expected, the little guy always gives people surprises.
Even the big man in the double hat, who had been standing by the window in silence, chuckled.
Song Ran took a deep breath and secretly told himself that now was the time to curry favor with this kid. Just call him uncle, it was better than calling him a black-faced uncle.
Song Ran forced a smile: "Okay, tell your brother and sister, and your uncle what you saw and heard, kid?"
Gu Lin said: "The mayor took me to see a lot of fish, and all the fish were sleeping in the blue water. I wanted to ask the mayor for little pearls, but the doctor said that those were fake fish, artificial fish, and tears could not turn into little pearls."
When the players heard this, their eyes widened.
But they did not interrupt Gu Lin. They held their breath and listened quietly to Gu Lin's speech.
Next, Gu Lin started talking and telling them everything he saw and heard in the hospital.
When it came to repeating Yu Youmian's words, Gu Lin could actually repeat them completely word for word.
When Gu Lin mentioned the real mermaids, all the players perked up and breathed lighter.
If there are real mermaids, then they still have a chance to get pearls and pass the level.
Gu Lin: "Uncle doctor said that the real fish..."
Huh?
What's that word called?
The kid looked thoughtful and thought for a while.
Oh, I remember now.
"My foot slipped."
When she said this word, her feet slipped and her voice was full of emotion.
Others:? ? ?
Song Ran: "No, your feet are slippery? Aren't you a mermaid? Where do your feet come from?"
Gu Lin frowned and said, "Yes, Yu Yu has no feet."
But that's what the doctor told him.
The kid was really confused, and drank another sip of milk, deciding to drink breast milk instead.
At this time, the voice of the double-hatted boss sounded: "Cunning by nature?"
The others immediately understood that Gu Lin was too young to distinguish between "slippery" and "cunning".
Gu Lin nodded: "Well, it's hidden."
[How cunning!] 】
[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha my feet are slipping]
[I am dying of laughter. I am the new aunt. The little baby really lives up to her reputation. Hahahaha]
[But I still want to praise the kid. He is so young and can't even read, but he can memorize such a long paragraph [Reward points x100]]
After talking about the mermaid base, Gu Lin started talking about dinner and mentioned the conversation between Yu Youmian and the mermaid mayor.
Gu Lin: "The mayor said that he wants to give me a transfusion of Zhuang Mu's serum to turn me into a mermaid."
Player: “…”
The information content of this sentence made all the players' pupils shrink.
Gu Lin is young and hasn’t started school yet, so he doesn’t know how to connect the dots.
According to Doctor Yu, mermaids need the serum of real mermaids to be successfully transformed, and the mayor of Mermaid Town meant that mermaids could be transformed by transfusing Zhuang Mu's serum.
With these connections, it is very likely that Zhuang Mu is the real mermaid.
What's more, he has a complete fish tail.
