Mermaid Town
Song Ran asked, "What's your brother's name?"
He just asked casually and didn't really want to know.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he asked this question, Gu Lin frowned and looked confused: "Oh, yeah, what's your brother's name?"
Others: “…”
Oh shit, this must be fake!
After thinking for a while, Gu Lin finally figured it out and said, "Brother is brother."
Others: “…………”
Isn't it because there is no prefix before brother, not because of different treatment, but because the little cub doesn't know his brother's name at all, so no prefix is added?
Everyone was silent.
At this time, the big man in the double hat looked out the window and said in a deep voice, "It's foggy again."
Hearing this, everyone else looked out the window.
Through the glass window, everyone found that it was indeed foggy outside again.
The fog spread in wisps at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As the fog spread, the outside became completely silent, so quiet that not even a sound could be heard.
Looking at the fog outside, everyone's faces became solemn.
They all thought of the mermaids swarming in the thick fog.
Before leaving, the mermaid mayor reminded everyone to stay in their rooms and not walk around when the fog comes.
*
Everyone else went back to their rooms, leaving only Gu Lin and Lin Xingchi in Room 44.
Seeing that the curtains were wide open, Lin Xingchi walked to the window and closed them.
The sky outside was getting dark. It was not yet three o'clock in the afternoon, but it felt like evening outside.
Through the window, I could see that the street was dark, and the buildings and trees were dim and shrouded in shadow.
Lin Xingchi was about to draw the curtains when he saw the hotel entrance through the window.
The lady at the front desk swung her two halves of a fish tail and moved awkwardly to the outside window. Then she leaned over, pulled up one of the scarred man's legs, and dragged him into the hotel.
When they were dragged to the door of the hotel, the young lady suddenly paused. Then, she suddenly looked up and looked at Lin Xingchi in the room on the second floor through the glass window.
Lin Xingchi: “…”
Lin Xingchi was startled and immediately dodged, his heart almost jumping out of his throat.
After a long while, he shifted his gaze again, but the entrance of the hotel was empty, and there was no trace of the young lady and the scarred man.
Lin Xingchi breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to close the curtains again, but at this moment, Gu Lin called him from behind: "Big brother."
Lin Xingchi paused while pulling the curtains, turned around, and saw Gu Lin sitting on the bed with his legs crossed, holding a lollipop in his hand and pointing his other little hand behind him: "Yuyu."
Lin Xingchi: “……?!”
Lin Xingchi turned around reflexively and suddenly saw a pale face with disheveled hair.
A mermaid was lying on the glass window, her head and face half hidden in the thick black fog, her eyeballs turned completely white, staring straight at the prey in front of her.
“Crash——”
Lin Xingchi reacted quickly and pulled the curtains, blocking the mermaid from looking at him.
Mermaid:?
*
Lin Xingchi reacted quickly, but he was also quite frightened.
He walked to the bed and sat down, cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his face turned slightly pale.
Gu Lin patted him with his little hand. He had a very good mental state and comforted his elder brother: "Don't be afraid, elder brother."
Lin Xingchi thought of the scarred man just now, and also remembered how Gu Lin grabbed the scarred man and kicked him away.
Tuanzi is small, but he is very brave and strong.
He picked up Gu Lin's little hand and weighed it in his hand. It was a chubby little hand and looked very mini.
He looked at Gu Lin's small feet again, stretched out his hand to compare, and found that they were not even half a foot long.
Gu Lin looked at his older brother's strange behavior, then stretched out his little hand and compared it with his own little feet.
Lin Xingchi laughed: "Tuanzi, how come you are so strong?"
Gu Lin was honest with the boy and did not hide it: "The boy was born with supernatural powers."
The auspicious beasts are all born with supernatural powers. The elder brother is stronger than him. He can only pull away one scarred man at a time, but the elder brother can pull away a bunch of them at a time.
The kid doesn’t know how to count yet and can’t tell the exact number, he just knows that a large handful means a lot.
Gu Lin knew that being born with supernatural powers was something worth showing off. He usually didn't have the chance to show them off, so when he got the chance, he immediately started showing off his special skills.
He raised his little hand, made a grabbing motion in mid-air, and said, "Pull my hair!"
Then she raised her little foot and made a kicking motion in the air, saying, "Kick it away!"
Lin Xingchi: “…”
This really looks like a cute act!
The aunt in the live broadcast room was almost killed by the cuteness. She wished she could get into the game and kiss, hug and lift the baby up high.
Lin Xingchi guessed that Gu Lin was born with supernatural powers, but in order to avoid misunderstanding, he still couldn't let others know.
In the horror world, what if you are really mistaken for a ghost doll?
He solemnly told Gu Lin: "Tuanzi, let's not tell anyone else about this. Only the two of us know about it."
The boss in the double-layer hat probably knows about it too, but he is very private and probably won't tell anyone else.
Gu Lin tilted his head: "Sister can't tell me either?"
Lin Xingchi thought for a moment and said, "Big brother, find a chance to tell her later. For now, let's just keep it a secret between the two of us."
Upon hearing the secret, Gu Lin raised a short finger: "Shh."
Lin Xingchi also smiled and raised his finger: "Shh."

The sky outside became completely dark, as if it had entered the deep night.
Under the effect of sleeping pills, the players soon fell into sleep again.
Gu Lin had lunch in the hospital at noon and did not get the food with sleeping pills added. After Lin Xingchi fell asleep on the other bed, he lay obediently on his own bed and played with himself for a long time.
While playing, the kid fell asleep.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Gu Lin was awakened by a shrill scream from downstairs.
Gu Lin was so frightened that his little body trembled. He immediately got up from the bed and turned around in a circle.
The kid looked confused, and he looked around the dark room with a dazed expression, as if he wasn't fully awake.
The lights in the room were not turned off before going to bed, but at this moment, the room was pitch black, and it was even darker and quieter outside, with not even a ray of light coming in.
But the darkness could not hinder Gu Lin's vision. He looked at Lin Xingchi who was lying in the bed next to him.
Lin Xingchi seemed to be unaware of the screams coming from downstairs and was still sleeping soundly.
Not only Lin Xingchi, but all the players except Gu Lin were asleep.
Gu Lin couldn't sleep because of the noise. He sat on the bed for a while, then jumped off the bed and walked towards the door.
9527 and the aunt in the live broadcast room were watching over the kid as he slept. They were sweating when they saw the kid wake up again when other players were sleeping.
Gu Lin walked to the door, opened it as he had done before, and walked out.
Unlike the room, the outside of the door was covered with black fog, and the entire hotel was shrouded in thick fog.
Gu Lin was not afraid at all. He seemed to be in a trance as he walked through the wooden corridor, stumbled downstairs, and finally arrived at the first floor of the hotel.
*
On the first floor of the hotel, the scarred man kept screaming miserably.
He was unconscious for most of the day and was finally awakened by the pain. When he woke up, he found a mermaid squatting in front of him.
Before he was kicked away, he didn't know that the girl at the front desk was a cheating mermaid. After carefully observing for a long time, he realized that the mermaid in front of him was actually the girl with a stiff face but sweet looks.
He lowered his gaze to where the severe pain came from.
Then I was horrified to find that the lady at the front desk was actually using needle and thread to sew his legs together one by one.
The needle and thread pierced through the flesh, and the intense pain made the scarred man scream like a pig being slaughtered.
The young lady had a weird and exaggerated smile. She moved very skillfully, her fingers flying up and down, sewing the scarred man's leg while humming softly:
"Fish on a string, fish on a string
Tail stitch to become a mermaid. ”
It kept humming these two lines of ballad over and over again. Its sweet voice was creepy and sent chills down one's spine.
Screams and sweet singing echoed in the desolate hotel late at night, accompanied by the increasingly dense "swish" sound of fish tails outside the hotel.
In the public live broadcast room, more and more viewers are watching this leg-stitching feast.
Until a little hand gently patted the little sister's shoulder, and a baby voice suddenly sounded:
"elder sister……"
The young lady paused and her singing came to an abrupt end.
Then, its neck twisted 180 degrees, making a creaking sound as if bones were dislocated, and its white eyeballs, covered with fish bubbles, looked straight at the cute cub behind it.
Gu Lin was not wearing shoes and walked lightly, so the sound of his footsteps was covered by other sounds. He walked behind the young lady and did not raise his hand to take a picture of her, so she was not noticed.
In Gu Lin's eyes, the young lady and the scarred man had been blurred.
As soon as he saw Gu Lin, the scarred man didn't care that he had wanted to kill the cub before, and immediately started shouting regardless.
The young lady punched him in the face, knocking him unconscious and stopping him from calling for help.
After knocking the man unconscious, the young lady tidied her hair and even gave a sweet smile as she looked at Gu Lin.
But its current appearance has nothing to do with sweetness; instead, it is extremely eerie and terrifying.
Gu Lin yawned and said aggrievedly, "Sister, you guys are so noisy. You woke me up. I couldn't sleep because of you."
Young lady: “…”
It is impossible to hear any sound outside the room if you stay in the room, so why was this little cub woken up?
The young lady was stunned for only a second. She didn't worry about why Gu Lin was woken up. She picked up the needle and thread in her hand, and sewed up the scarred man's mouth with two strokes.
The scarred man was awakened by the pain again, but his mouth was sewn shut and he could only make whimpering sounds and could no longer utter complete words.
The young lady smiled and said, "I won't bother you anymore now."
There were several ugly mermaids lying on the glass windows of the hotel, and the streets outside were also crowded with mermaids.
Gu Lin was not afraid at all. He said in a baby voice, "Sister, I don't want to listen to the lullaby just now. I want to listen to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, is that okay?"
Young lady: “…”
Miss sister:? ? ?
Lullaby? Little star?
Do you think I'm trying to coax you to sleep?
