Mermaid Town
A group of people, four or five in total, all men, came around the corner, staring at the players and striding towards them.
One of the men had a black cloth bag hanging from his body and was holding a large pit bull in his hand. Saliva was dripping from the corners of his mouth and his teeth were long and sharp.
Seeing this scene, the players' faces suddenly changed. They were immediately on high alert, with vigilance and alertness unconsciously revealed on their faces.
Not to mention people, the dogs alone are terrifyingly ferocious. This kind of dog is a fighting dog. Once it sets its sights on a prey, it will not let go until it has bitten it to death.
Lin Xingchi tried to pull Gu Lin up before but failed. At this time, he was quick-witted and took the lead over Su Qiao and picked up Gu Lin.
After grabbing it, he raised his eyebrows at Su Qiao.
Su Qiao: “…”
It's to show off, it must be!
Lin Xingchi is seventeen years old, a sophomore in high school. He is handsome, tall and has long legs. He is estimated to be about 1.8 meters tall, with a slim and slender figure like a teenager.
He picked up Gu Lin easily and effortlessly.
Gu Lin is a small and thin guy, but his arms and legs are round like lotus roots, soft and fleshy, and he has quite a lot of meat on his body.
Holding it in my arms like this, it feels quite solid but not heavy. I estimate it weighs only about 20 kilograms.
Gu Lin is pretty, with skin as white as a porcelain doll. It's obvious that she is well taken care of by her family.
He is so young, still drinking milk powder, but he was dragged into this horrible world.
Lin Xingchi is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's affairs, and he is too lazy to care about other people.
But he just couldn't bear to watch such a little kid meet with an accident in front of him.
Gu Lin can perceive the kindness of others very well. This older brother and sister, like him, show kindness to him.
He stayed in his big brother's arms, little as a ball, letting himself be held obediently. He even stretched out his soft little arms and took the initiative to hug his big brother's neck.
Gu Lin greeted him: "Hello, big brother."
Lin Xingchi was stunned, he looked down at the cub in his arms, and when he saw the cub smiling at him, he raised his lips unconsciously.
This kid is not afraid of strangers at all.
Lin Xingchi said: "Hello, my name is Lin Xingchi, you can call me Brother Xingchi."
Gu Lin called out very obediently: "Brother Xingchi."
Su Qiao: “…”
Su Qiao couldn't help but smile and said, "Linlin, my sister's name is Su Qiao, you can call me Sister Qiao Qiao."
Gu Lin treated her equally and said in a tender voice, "Sister Qiao Qiao."
Su Qiao couldn't help but touch his little head.
Soon, a group of people came closer.
As it came close, the drooling pit bull barked at the player a few times. It had a thumb-thick chain tied around its neck and was being held in its owner's hand. It just barked at the players but didn't rush up to bite them.
But even so, the players all looked unhappy and cold, and looked at the newcomers with vigilance.
These are obviously dungeon NPCs, probably residents of the Mermaid Town.
The first person walked in the middle. He looked to be in his fifties, but his face looked like he was in his seventies or eighties.
He had a very strong and sturdy body, with a straight back and broad shoulders, but his face was full of wrinkles and ravines, like the bark of a banyan tree after the water had been drained out.
He had a fedora on his head that felt like it was from the last century, and his hair was shoulder-length, greasy, dirty, and in wisps.
Everyone was shocked by this strange-looking, gentlemanly yet sloppy old man.
"Welcome, welcome. I'm the mayor and person in charge of the Mermaid Town." The old man was very warm, but his small eyes shone with a cold light. He scanned everyone's face one by one, "You are all here to participate in the Mermaid Festival in two days, right? I'm sorry for not welcoming you."
Everyone: “…”
Mermaid Festival? Two days later?
Everyone had different thoughts and no one responded for a while.
The old man who claimed to be the mayor was abnormally enthusiastic, and the way he looked at each of them was sticky and cold, as if... he was examining a commodity rather than a living person.
In short, it makes people feel uncomfortable.
Including the four men behind the mayor, these four men were all young men, strong, tall and strong, with expressionless faces.
The only thing he looked at them with was as if he were looking at prey caught in a trap, he was fully alert, as if he was afraid that they would run away.
The mayor raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Guests are welcome. We have prepared accommodation for you. However, the Mermaid Festival is the most grand festival in Mermaid Town every year. There are many guests and the rooms are limited. We can only provide you with five rooms. I hope you don't mind."
The mayor spoke for such a long time, but still no one responded.
It’s not that they don’t want to take it, it’s that they don’t dare to take it. Several players have already started to tremble.
Who would welcome guests with a fighting dog?
It clearly looks like they are here to unload "goods".
The mayor talked to himself for a long time, still with a smile on his face, but the smile was a little colder.
He stopped talking and just glanced at everyone, not knowing what he was thinking.
Then he glanced at the two-foot-long baby in his arms. He was stunned and looked Gu Lin up and down, as if he didn't understand why such a small guest appeared here.
When Gu Lin saw him looking at her, she blinked her big innocent and watery eyes and looked at him without avoiding. There was no fear in her eyes, and she seemed innocent and curious.
Mayor: “…”
The mayor looked at him for a while and then looked away first.
Gu Lin tilted his head and looked to the right of the mayor.
To the mayor's right stood the man holding the pit bull.
The man was tall and strong, and looked to be about thirty years old, or possibly younger, but his skin was dark, which made him look older.
He is naked. His exposed neck and sturdy arms were covered with colorful tattoos of ferocious beasts, which looked very scary.
Gu Lin stared at the ferocious beasts curiously.
Noticing Gu Lin's gaze, the tattooed man shifted his gaze over and looked at him, with a cold and evil light in his eyes.
Gu Lin was fine, he even dared to look the other person in the eye without dodging, he was truly a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.
Lin Xingchi's eyelids twitched, and he quickly turned Gu Lin's little head over and asked him to look away.
Gu Lin obediently lay on his big brother's shoulder and pinched his little arm.
Hmm...why does that uncle have a little monster on his arm?
There's none on his arm!
Gu Lin's face looked thoughtful.
He doesn't like Monsters, he likes Ultraman.
The little monsters are not powerful, Ultraman is powerful, beat the little monsters away!
9527 Sincere question: [What is Ultraman? 】
Gu Lin: [Ultraman, you don’t even know this? 】
9527, who was despised by the little brat: [……]
Gu Lin grabbed the shoulder strap of the small school bag: [That’s the Ultraman on my school bag! 】
9527: [……]
Sorry, it is just ignorant.
Thank you, little anchor. If you hadn’t told me, I would have been kept in the dark and thought it was called Ultraman.
The others did not have the leisure time like Gu Lin, and were still thinking about Ultraman fighting off the little monsters. They were all nervously staring at the five people in front of them.
The atmosphere was weird and stagnant, so depressing that it made people feel breathless.
In this deathly atmosphere, several players felt their hands and feet go weak and sweat broke out on their foreheads.
At this moment, a soft, cute and crisp baby voice rang out.
"Grandpa Mayor."
The mayor who was called grandpa for the first time: "???"
The mayor and the four men on the opposite side were stunned for a moment, and the players were also shocked.
Su Qiao and Lin Xingchi both turned pale. They had never expected Gu Lin to speak so suddenly, and it was too late to stop him.
The mayor returned his gaze to the little guest, the smile on his face still there, and strangely, it even deepened.
It’s hard to explain, why does he seem a bit kind?
Gu Lin's face was serious and innocent: "Grandpa Mayor, your mermaid killed one of us. It's a bad fish. Eating a bad fish will cause diarrhea."
When he talked about having diarrhea, he patted his round little belly with his little hands.
Then he changed the subject, his tone was urgent, his eyes were bright: "So, do you have any good fish, any fish that can be eaten?"
The mayor's kind smile froze on his face: "..."
Where did this little doll come from?
Player: “…”
Live broadcast room: "..."
It turns out that you still haven't given up the idea of eating fish? !
