Mermaid Town
The elevator door opened, revealing a long passage in front of us, with a heavy protective door at the end of the passage.
The temperature dropped suddenly, it was cold and damp, and there was a faint smell of formaldehyde in the air.
After getting out of the elevator, Gu Lin was led by the mayor through a long corridor.
Everything here is new and interesting. Even though it is just a passage, Gu Lin is looking at it curiously.
Walking to the end of the passage, the mermaid mayor entered a string of numbers into the combination lock on the wall, and the heavy protective door opened to one side.
Gu Lin watched the mayor enter the password and stretched out a short finger on his little hand.
He thought these numbers were the same as the elevator, so he grabbed the mayor's two fingers and shook them, saying, "Grandpa Mayor, I want to press the elevator button too."
Who can resist this little baby when he acts coquettishly and cutely?
The mayor looked at the boy's raised short hand, felt sorry for him, and picked up the little baby.
"Grandpa will tell you the numbers, and you press them."
After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Little kid, do you know how to count?"
Gu Lin nodded his little head and said seriously, in a baby voice: "Numbers."
He knows ten numbers.
9527:? ?
Live broadcast room:? ? !
Son, we must have a clear understanding of ourselves!
The mayor actually believed it and warned him: "This button is not easy to press. Use more force, otherwise it won't work."
Gu Lin nodded obediently: "Yes!"
Mayor Mermaid thought it was just to cheer up his grandson, and he was surprisingly patient. He smiled and said the first number: "8."
Although Gu Lin knew ten numbers, he was still unfamiliar with numbers. So, when he heard the mayor say 8, he started looking for it on the number plate. He searched for almost half a minute but still couldn't find it.
What does 8 look like?
The mayor's eyelids twitched.
Why doesn't this look like someone who knows numbers?
Gu Lin usually recognizes numbers together, from 1 to 10 like a jingle, which is very easy to remember. He can recognize them together, but he has trouble recognizing them individually.
Holding back for half a minute without giving a warning was already the limit of the mermaid mayor's patience.
Just when he was about to remind him, Gu Lin finally found the two circled numbers.
He remembered that the two circles were 8.
Seeing Gu Lin's little hand press the correct number 8, the Mermaid Mayor breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.
I had never been this nervous before, even when I asked the tattooed man to chop the mermaid with a machete.
The kid remembered what the mayor said to use more force, so he used a lot of strength when he pressed the button with his little hand. It didn't matter how much force he used, as his finger pressed down and the number 8 key was pressed in, but it didn't bounce back for a long time.
The mermaid mayor's kind smile froze on his face: "?"
Huh?
Gu Lin tilted his head.
Why is it deflated?
what happened?
The mermaid mayor was stunned for a few seconds, and tried to pick it out with his hands, but he couldn't get the key 8 out.
Mermaid Mayor: “!”
He grabbed Gu Lin's little hand again and looked at it, turning it over and over to examine it carefully. Yes, it was indeed just a soft little hand.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Lin again.
Gu Lin blinked his big eyes, his face full of innocence.
Mermaid Mayor: “…”
That’s right, he is indeed just a little baby.
After frowning and thinking for a while, Mayor Mermaid gave the only possible reasonable explanation for the situation: "Doctor Yu's equipment is too old. It's time to replace it."
The people in the live broadcast room almost laughed to death.
[Hahahaha shit, I'm dying of laughter. It's your blessing to let you kidnap a child! 】
[Doctor Yu: I don’t take the blame for this]
[When I think of the mermaid mayor specifically telling me to use more strength, I fucking die of laughter]
[When I heard "use more force", I knew something was wrong, and sure enough, the button was gone, hahahaha]
[This old liar knows nothing about the power of the cub]
…
The mermaid mayor didn't take the sudden situation seriously. Isn't it just a button? How could he blame the brat for just a single keystroke!
He pressed the remaining numbers and walked into the mermaid base holding Gu Lin.
As soon as he walked in, Gu Lin was stunned by the scene in front of him, his eyes widened.
He patted the mermaid mayor with his little hands and said excitedly, "Grandpa Mayor, the cub wants to come down!!"
When the mermaid mayor saw that the little kid was attracted by the scene in front of him, he immediately raised his eyebrows and felt a sense of satisfaction like a grandfather taking his grandson to visit the oceanarium.
The difference is that there are more species of fish in the aquarium, but there is only one kind of fish here——
Mermaid.
The space in front is very large, stretching as far as the eye can see. Inside, there are rows of three-meter-high glass walls neatly arranged, and the glass walls are divided into countless small compartments.
And in each cubicle there was a mermaid.
The mermaid was soaked in some blue solution, with her eyes closed, long hair spread out, beautiful face and slender bones.
Some of their tails were complete like Zhuang Mu's, while others were split from the tail fin. However, the split parts were merging into a whole at a speed visible to the naked eye.
These mermaids seem to be sleeping. Because of their large numbers and the fact that they are all soaked in a blue solution, although they are beautiful, they look extremely weird and make people inexplicably scared.
Gu Lin was not afraid. He looked at these mermaids that were beyond his ability to count, let out a cry, spread his short legs, and ran in.
"Grandpa Mayor, there are so many fish here!"
Gu Lin ran in front, and the Mermaid Mayor followed behind with his hands behind his back, watching his little grandson jumping around.

Meanwhile, at the Mermaid Hotel.
Except for the double-hat boss who didn't sleep, the other players woke up one after another.
When Lin Xingchi woke up, he didn't realize that Gu Lin was missing for a while. Gu Lin was very small, lying in the quilt, and he couldn't be seen at first glance.
He felt a little confused when he woke up. After he was a little more awake, Lin Xingchi rubbed his temples and felt that he had never slept so tiringly.
The longer he slept, the longer he was chased by the cheating mermaid in the mist.
I have been dreaming, and the reality is as real as sleep paralysis.
He knew that this small town had bad intentions, and there was indeed something wrong with the food.
This must be a seasoning made of sleeping pills, right?
Moreover, I also dreamed of mermaids in the fog, which must be due to more than just sleeping pills.
Less than a minute after Lin Xingchi woke up, there was a knock on the door. First there were two knocks, and then there was a loud banging, very urgent.
Lin Xingchi was stunned. Seeing that there was no movement on Tuanzi's bed, he thought Tuanzi was still asleep, so he got out of bed and went to open the door.
Before he even reached the door, he saw the comments in his live broadcast room.
[The kid will have lunch in the hospital and will be back soon. Don't worry. ——A loving aunt]
[The boy and the mayor are watching the fish. They will go back after they are done. Don't worry. ——Auntie who feeds her cubs one at a time】
[The kid is riding his beloved scooter. He will be back after riding it. Don't worry about me. ——The person who sent the group message to all players is the kind-hearted auntie.
Lin Xingchi: “???!”
Oh shit! ! !
Lin Xingchi didn't bother to open the door, and immediately turned back to check if Tuanzi was still on the bed.
He was worried that Tuanzi was wrapped in the quilt, so he carefully lifted the quilt at first, but found that it was indeed empty and there was no Gu Lin at all. He then picked up the quilt and shook it, but nothing came out.
There was nothing on the bed, so he leaned over and looked under the bed, but still nothing.
He even tried desperate measures and picked up the pillow and turned it over.
【? 】
[Don’t look at it anymore, I really went to the hospital and it took more than an hour. Where can I find it now? It’s so funny]
[No matter how small the baby is, the pillow can't hold it. Find a pillow 6]
[Don’t worry, big brother, I’ll be back after dinner! 】
The knocks on the door became more urgent.
Lin Xingchi could only go and open the door first.
As soon as the door opened, Su Qiao's anxious face appeared behind the door.
"Dumpling is gone!"
"I went to the hospital!"
"Watching the fish with Mayor Mermaid!"
In a few words, the two spoke almost in unison.
Lin Xingchi: “…”
Su Qiao: “…”
Good job!
