Mermaid Town
There was dead silence outside the cafeteria. No one spoke a word. Everyone was so frightened by the scene before their eyes that they couldn't recover for a long time.
There was only thick black fog in the cafeteria, and only vaguely moving human-like objects could be seen.
Even though they couldn't see clearly, everyone knew what was going on inside.
Most people saw what happened through the glass door.
The female player was about to run out of the cafeteria and would not have died, but she was pulled back by the scarred man behind her.
The man with the scar could have waited for Ye Yuhan to go out first and then he could have gone out, or he could have pushed the person out, so that neither of them would have died.
Suddenly, everyone looked at the scarred man with disgust in their eyes, and some even showed fear.
This scarred man actually attacked the player?
The scarred man, however, felt no guilt at all. He even watched the tragedy in the cafeteria without blinking. At the end, when the fog obscured his vision, he sighed with a feeling of unsatisfied satisfaction: "It's boring."
Others: “…”
The scarred man's attitude of watching the fun made the others look at him even more coldly.
Is this still a human being?
It’s not enough to kill people, you also want to see how they die?
Is there any humanity in this?
The entrance to the cafeteria was crowded with people, not only the remaining eight players, but also dozens of guest NPCs. Even those guest NPCs were looking at the scarred man with sarcasm, but they quickly looked away with an indifferent attitude.
As a auspicious animal, Gu Lin can not only see in the dark, but also has extraordinary hearing.
Because of the heavy glass door, no one else could hear the sound inside, only he could hear it clearly.
The thick fog could not block his sight, but from the moment the cafeteria door closed, his eyes were filled with mosaics and he entered a world of mosaics.
At this moment, he could see piles of mosaics moving in the cafeteria, accompanied by screams and the sound of chopping meat.
Gu Lin couldn't fully understand the meaning of death, but he roughly knew what was going on inside. He squeezed the lollipop in his hand, suddenly broke free from Lin Xingchi, and got out of his arms. He ran to the scarred man with his short legs.
Lin Xingchi and Su Qiao looked at him in surprise, not knowing what he was going to do.
The attention of others was also drawn to it, and when they saw this little cub that was not even as long as a human arm, they were all stunned.
Two players died, but this cub actually escaped?
What kind of luck buff is this?
The scarred man was tall and strong with a fierce look, while Gu Lin was tiny and looked even younger than he actually was when he stood in front of him.
No one knew what he was going to do.
Even the scarred man was stunned and looked down at the little guy in front of him.
Gu Lin frowned, stamped his feet, spat at the scarred man, and said fiercely, "Big bad guy!"
If Gu Lin wasn't afraid of kicking him to death, he would have kicked him directly.
Everyone present: "..."
9527: [……]
Live broadcast room: [……]
Good man, he is taking advantage of his cuteness to commit crimes! !
Lin Xingchi and Su Qiao were both startled, and before the scarred man could react, they quickly stepped forward and hugged Gu Lin back.
After carrying him back, the two men moved Gu Lin's small body behind them, blocking him from the scarred man's already cold sight.
They knew that Gu Lin did this because the female player kindly gave him a lollipop.
When the situation was tense, the big guy in the double hat suddenly chuckled.
When the others heard this sneer that was three parts disdain, three parts indifference and four parts lifeless, they instantly perked up and wanted to hear the boss scold them a few more times.
The scarred man was so arrogant even though he killed someone. It was really disgusting. They believed that less trouble is worse than more and did not dare to scold him. Gu Lin was young and ignorant, so he dared to rush forward.
Everyone placed their hopes on the big boss.
Unexpectedly, the boss just laughed and fell silent without saying a word.
Everyone realized belatedly that the boss was just being amused by the little baby.
Everyone: “…”
Li Nan stood behind the scarred man and observed him carefully for a long time, or to be more precise, observed his head.
He just witnessed the two-year-old cub... no, it could also be a ghost doll, grabbing his hair.
At this time, I saw that the scarred man had a bald spot on the back of his head, about the size of the ghost doll's small fist. Only the scalp was left, and there were faint traces of blood on it.
He became even more certain that the cub was definitely a ghost doll!
Otherwise, isn't it enough for him to pull out people's hair, but he also dares to rush up to people and shout?
Perhaps sensing the gaze from behind, the scarred man suddenly turned around and glared at Li Nan.
"What are you looking at, idiot."
The scar on the scarred man's face was so hideous that people dared not look directly at him. After receiving such a glare from him, Li Nan immediately covered his head and hid away like a quail.
When the scarred man turned his head, more people behind him also saw the bald spot on the back of his head. He was not bald before, so how come he suddenly had a bald spot the size of a child's fist?
After everyone was stunned, they couldn't help but laugh out loud.
You deserve it!
This scarred man has a scary scar on his face, but the bald spot on the back of his head is very funny.
But when they thought of the scarred man's viciousness, everyone stopped laughing.
Even the guy in the double hat looked at him, and when he saw the bald spot on the back of his head, his eyes flickered slightly.
Seeing that everyone was staring at his head and trying to hold back their laughter, the scarred man thought of something and raised his hand to touch the back of his head which was still aching.
He couldn't see it himself, so he only touched a small piece of scalp but no hair.
The scarred man was stunned for a moment, then he touched his head carefully and finally confirmed that he had a bald spot.
Suddenly, he glared at Lin Xingchi with vicious eyes.
He didn't know that it was Gu Lin who pulled his hair and blew him away. Subconsciously, he didn't take the gluttonous kid seriously. He thought it was Lin Xingchi who did it.
Everyone else also looked at Lin Xingchi.
Lin Xingchi saw the scarred man covering the back of his head and looking at him with a sinister and cold look, then he looked down at the little girl who was blocked behind him, and knew that he had to take the blame.
The man with the scar rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward, ready to beat someone up.
Lin Xingchi took a step back: "Wait a moment."
The scarred man paused.
Lin Xingchi: "Do you want to be blown away again?"
The scarred man was slightly startled, and then his expression became even uglier: "Damn it, you dare to attack me from behind, or I will fall into your trap?"
Seeing that the scarred man was still trying to rush forward, Lin Xingchi also took a defensive posture.
As for the account of the scarred man trying to trap him and Tuanzi to death in the cafeteria just now, he didn't want to let it go unless the scarred man came to settle with him.
Just then, a group of people came from a distance and interrupted the confrontation between the two.
As soon as they saw this group of people, all the players' attention was drawn to them.
The scarred man also stopped and stopped rushing towards Lin Xingchi, but he made a threatening gesture of wiping his neck towards Lin Xingchi, indicating that the account was not settled yet and he had to wait for it.
Lin Xingchi's face also darkened. Keeping this scarred man around was a hidden danger. Who knew what he would do next.
There were about seven or eight people walking along the path.
The first thing everyone looked at was their lower bodies, and when they saw that they were two normal human legs, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Having just experienced the incident where the lunch lady stabbed people, they all had psychological trauma from the two deformed fish tails.
These eight people were all young people, around 20 to 30 years old, but without exception, they all had dark skin and ordinary looks, just like the four NPCs brought by the mayor to greet them, except that they were not as sturdy as those four NPCs, but they were also very strong and healthy.
Two of the young men, both around 25 years old and about 1.8 meters tall, walked towards the eight players.
The man walking in front had a smile on his face and a friendly attitude: "Hello, my name is Yu Qing, his name is Yu Rong, the mayor asked us to take you to the hotel."
The man named Yu Rong just nodded indifferently at the players without saying anything.
When the players heard this, they all remembered what the mayor had said before, that someone would take them to the hotel in half an hour.
When they turned around again, they saw other guest NPCs, also in groups of 8 to 10 people. Each group was led away by two young men, and it seemed that they were also being taken to the hotel where they were staying.
The players nodded and followed the two men named Yu Qing and Yu Rong in silence towards the hotel.
The four NPCs who had been stationed at the entrance of the cafeteria did not catch up this time. Instead, four of them followed a team and left. Following behind the player was the tattooed man holding the pit bull.
Seeing that all the guests were treated as "commodities", the players felt a little more balanced, but they did not relax.
This town is full of weirdness. The mermaids look different from what people know. Moreover, the mermaids in the fog are also different from their state after the fog dissipates.
When the fog was not on, the smiles of those aunties who served the food looked weird and creepy, but their eyeballs were still normal black pupils. But after the fog came on, their eyeballs turned completely white, and their appearance changed a lot, becoming more hideous and terrifying.
This made everyone more certain that the fog was indeed some kind of mechanism.
But what are the rules for this fogging?
If fog can arise at any time, you may face unknown dangers outside at any time.
When it is foggy, there is no way to get close to the mermaid, let alone get the pearls transformed from her tears. Therefore, you can only go to the mermaid to get the pearls when it is not foggy.
However, mermaids may not be easy to deal with when there is no fog.
Song Ran, the player who had returned to the game twice, looked at the two men leading the way in front, trying to get some information from them.
The mermaid mayor looks like a dungeon BOSS, with a fake smile that makes people afraid to approach him.
In comparison, these two men, especially the one named Yu Qing, looked much friendlier and felt like supporting role-player NPCs.
Song Ran said carefully: "Why are there so many mermaids in your town? And they all have split tails."
Yu Rong said nothing, as if he didn't hear anything.
Yu Qing was indeed good-tempered. He smiled and said, "Since you are guests from afar, I will say a few words to you."
When everyone heard him say this, they perked up and focused their attention.
Yu Qing: "Our Mermaid Town made its fortune thanks to mermaids."
After Yu Qing finished his dry words, he stopped talking and didn't say anything else. The players who were waiting for him to say something were stunned for a moment.
Then what? No more?
The mermaid mayor had said this before, without changing even a word. It was just a waste of time.
Yu Qing was stunned for a moment when he saw that the people behind him had no reaction. He turned around and saw that the six of them looked confused, plus a young and ignorant kid who was looking around with curiosity, and another one who was wearing two hats and whose face could not be seen clearly.
Yu Qing: “…”
Players: “…”
Li Nan kindly reminded him: "The mayor has already said this before."
He emphasized: "It's exactly the same, not even the punctuation marks have changed."
Yu Qing: “…”
Perhaps he didn't expect the mayor to say this to the guests. Yu Qing was stunned for several seconds, then turned back, quickly regained his composure, and said with a smile: "Then let me tell you something else."
When the players heard what he said, they regained their spirits.
Yu Qing: "The fish with split tails you see are called split-legged mermaids. They are a specialty of our town. The reason why their tails look like this is because they are mermaids who have been eliminated. They are very pitiful."
Players: “…”
Shit, are you the mermaid mayor’s repeater?
The mermaid mayor also said this.
And pitiful? Then aren’t the players who have their brains sucked out and are hacked to death with a knife pitiful?
Yu Qing saw that the players behind him still didn't react after he finished speaking, so he turned around to look at them again. This time he saw the players' indifferent expressions.
Yu Qing was stunned again.
Li Nan was a down-to-earth person, and kindly reminded him again: "Well, the mayor has said this before."
Yu Qing: “…”
Yu Qing turned back, smiled and shook his head: "Then I have nothing to tell you."
Players: “…”
You are wasting people's feelings.
It would be better to let the cub call out "Mayor Grandpa" more often to get more information.
