Mermaid Town
After everyone digested Gu Lin's words, they quickly understood.
Song Ran yawned and said, "Let me sort out the key information that the little ghost said."
“First, there are real mermaids in the Mermaid Town. According to what Dr. Yu said, there is probably only one real mermaid, but this mermaid is too cunning, so she hides herself.
"Second, the mayor of the mermaid town wants to use Zhuang Mu's serum to transform the little ghost into a little mermaid, which means that Zhuang Mu's serum can also transform mermaids. It is very likely that he is a real mermaid. The most dangerous place is the safest place. Hiding in the open will make it less likely to arouse suspicion. Moreover, his fish tail is intact, which also adds evidence that he is a real mermaid.
"Third, there is another mermaid in Doctor Yu's secret room, but it is not open to the public. What is so special about that mermaid? Could it be the real mermaid?"
After summarizing, Song Ran touched his chin and thought: "I think there is only one truth. The real mermaid is either that brother Zhuang Mu or the mermaid in the secret room."
Song Ran's summary was very accurate, and Lin Xingchi, Su Qiao and Xia Xue all nodded in agreement.
The double-hatted boss said lazily, "He is too cunning by nature, so he hid himself."
He repeated the words slowly.
When the others heard the boss' speech, they all pricked up their ears quietly, shifted their eyes over, and listened attentively to the boss' speech.
The double-hat boss did not disappoint everyone this time. He finally did not end up like the previous times: "This sentence can be interpreted in different ways. One is that the mermaid is too cunning, so she took the initiative to hide."
He paused and continued, "Second, someone was too cunning, so he hid the mermaid."
Others: “…”
Yes, that's it.
The boss got full marks in reading comprehension.
Because this sentence lacks a subject, it can have two completely different interpretations.
If the mermaid hid herself on her own initiative, then the possibility that it was Zhuang Mu was very high. If it was hidden passively, who could possibly hide a real mermaid?
I'm afraid only people with status in the town like the Mermaid Mayor or Dr. Yu can do it, and there is a mermaid hidden in Dr. Yu's secret room that is not open to the public.
Song Ran: "If the mermaid in the secret room is a real mermaid, then Dr. Yu is just the thief crying thief."
Su Qiao also added: "One more thing, the mayor of Mermaid Town said that the mermaids soaking in the blue water are exhibits for this year's Mermaid Festival. The last batch of mermaids will be completed before tomorrow night."
As soon as these words came out, the air froze for a second.
They seem to have three days to complete the mission, but by tomorrow night at the latest, they will become artificial fish.
At this time, they thought that the mermaids were all very beautiful, but the residents of the town had dark skin and ordinary looks.
They specifically select people with good looks to be transformed into mermaids, which shows that their transformation of mermaids is selective and purposeful, and they don't just capture people and transform them into mermaids for no reason.
Only "goods" that need to be sold will specifically require "good looks". I'm afraid that artificial fish are not only exhibits at the Mermaid Festival, but will also be sold in the end.
Those that cannot be sold will be forced to stay in the mermaid town forever, their tails will slowly be split apart, and they will become cheating mermaids.
No wonder it’s called the [Splitting Legs] Mermaid, not the [Splitting Tail] Mermaid.
Because the two deformed halves of the fish tail were originally two human legs, not a fish tail.

After this sorting out, everyone understood.
The Mermaid Festival is the most grand festival of the year in the Mermaid Town. How can we hold such a festival without mermaids?
But at first, there was probably only one mermaid, and there were not enough mermaids, so the town turned to artificial fish.
If there are not enough mermaids, then they will artificially create enough mermaids and sell them for profit.
Driven by profit, a mermaid industry chain has developed.
The town uses the name of hosting the Mermaid Festival to attract many guests. Then they select the guests with good looks, transform them into mermaids, and then sell them at the Mermaid Festival. This cycle repeats itself, allowing the mermaid industry chain to develop continuously.

The clues brought by Gu Lin were crucial and brought a glimmer of hope to everyone.
As long as they find a real mermaid and get her tears before they turn into mermaids, they can pass the level.
Su Qiao said: "Linlin provided so many clues, everyone should at least show some appreciation, right? If I pass the level, I will give 50% of the points to Linlin, if I fail, I will give him all of them."
Others: “…”
A big deal.
Lin Xingchi immediately followed: "Me too."
The double-hat guy didn't seem to care about the points. He smiled and said, "Me too."
Since even the big boss said so, Song Ran and Xia Xue had nothing more to say and followed suit.
Song Ran touched Gu Lin's little head and said earnestly, "Little boy, your uncle's life is in your hands."
Gu Lin blinked his big eyes, and after hearing that, he spread out his white and tender little hands, wondering: "Uncle Song Ran's life is not in your hands, bastard."
Song Ran: “…”
Others: “…”
Damn, you are worthy of it!
Everyone in the live broadcast room was almost laughing to death. Zizi is worthy of being Zizi, his train of thought is always so unique.
Now the target is basically clear, locked on Zhuang Mu and the mermaid in the secret room.
Song Ran talked the most and added, "We can use the process of elimination. Let's go find that Zhuang Mu tomorrow and see if his tears can turn into pearls."
Xia Xue asked, "How do you make him cry? And peel onions?"
The thought of peeling onions has left people with psychological trauma.
They shed just as many tears as the lady at the front desk.
Song Ran said, "No, the receptionist is at the hotel, right under our noses. We can peel onions around him, but the mermaid is in the hospital. If so many of us go to the hospital, we may not be able to see him. Even if we do, peeling onions again may alert the enemy. What if Zhuang Mu is not a real mermaid? Then, the consequence of alerting the enemy is that the real mermaid will definitely be moved."
Indeed, we must not act rashly.
"It's time to send out a little undercover." Song Ran touched Gu Lin's little head again. The furry little head was very touching. "Let the little ghost play a game with that little brother Zhuang Mu. How about who can cry first?"
Others: “?”
So, after all, in the end we still have to rely on this cub alone!
[Damn, so many adults, all relying on one cub, tsk]
[There's nothing we can do, since Zaizai is the best player of the game. Oh, the double-hatted guy is the only one who didn't sleep except Zaizai. But he doesn't sleep and doesn't do any tasks. What on earth does he want to do? 】
[The boss's world wants you to be alone, don't ask, if you ask, you are just making up the numbers]
[Baby, fly bravely, the trash will always follow you [dog head]]
[Hahahahaha, shit, the system dragged the kid into the game, it’s hard not to suspect that it was to humiliate other players]
When Gu Lin heard that he was going to play games with Brother Zhuang Mu, he nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Zhuang Mu will come to pick me up tomorrow to play!"
Others:!
Oh, now I don’t have to go through so much trouble figuring out how to find that young man Zhuang Mu.
They really didn't expect that in the end they would have to rely on this cub that was less than two years old.
At first they thought Gu Lin only knew how to eat, but now, this kid who only knew how to eat easily beats them.
*
Except for Gu Lin, everyone else had eaten the food in the cafeteria. Now they began to yawn one after another, feeling sleepy.
Lin Xingchi used his points to redeem a cup of coffee for everyone from the system mall.
Gu Lin sniffed and smelled the coffee. His brother also liked to drink it. He also wanted to drink it, but his brother never let him drink it.
He had wanted to try it for a long time, so he pulled Lin Xingchi and said, "Big brother, I want to drink it too."
Before Lin Xingchi could say anything, Song Ran said, "You can't drink, kid. You won't grow taller if you drink."
When he heard that drinking coffee would not make him taller, Gu Lin gave up the idea of trying coffee.
Gu Lin nodded and said, "Well, I'd better not drink it. I want to grow as tall as my brother."
When others heard him call him brother, they were stunned.
Song Ran pointed at Lin Xingchi: "Are you talking about your older brother?"
Lin Xingchi also looked at Gu Lin.
Gu Lin said: "Not big brother, but brother."
Others: “…”
This little guy seems to add a prefix before calling his other brothers, such as "big brother" and "brother Zhuang Mu".
But they won’t do that when calling someone sister. For example, if you call Su Qiao, there’s no special prefix to call her sister Qiao Qiao.
This shows that this little cub has no biological sister, but he does have a biological brother at home.
Only when talking about his elder brother, brother is just brother without any prefix.
It was as if he was the only brother he recognized, and he was different from all the other brothers.
Even such a young kid knows how to be treated differently.
Suddenly, everyone felt sympathy for Gu Lin.
Such a small cub was lucky enough not to be killed, but I don’t know if he can always be so lucky in the future. He has an older brother at home who is waiting for him to come home.
