[npc name: Andre (declining mental value, alienating)]

Andre seemed to have a big appetite at this time, and he ate a large plate of the hotel's buffet breakfast, as if pouring it directly into his throat.

Because this hotel is close to the sea, most of the breakfast is fried and fried fish.

But Bai Liu smelled a pungent fishy smell like rotten fish tails, like the smell of dead fish surrounded by flies that he smelled in the garbage dump where the fishmongers threw fish in the vegetable market. The bright fish dishes start to gag, let alone swallow.

But both Jeff and Lucy showed expressions that these things are very fragrant.

Bai Liu took out the coin and scanned it, and sure enough, the two people also showed [Alienation in progress], it should be related to the mermaid statue in the room.

Not to mention Andre, the way he ate made Bai Liu feel a little uncomfortable. Andre chewed with big mouthfuls, the wet/slippery/black fish tail slapped his mouth as he chewed, and often used a fork to pick up the next one before he finished eating. mouth to send.

Lucy cut the fish steak with a knife and fork, and looked at Bai Liu with a little surprise: "Aren't you going to eat it? Baby! The fish steak here is really delicious, even if I want to go on a diet, I can't help but eat two!"

"You really found a pretty nice seaside hotel!" As she said, Lucy was about to lean over and kiss him.

But Bai Liu was choked by the strong fishy smell in Lucy's mouth, subconsciously pushed her away, after thinking about it, she pulled away the plate in front of Lucy, pretending to be serious and said: "Baby, you are in good shape now, I won't allow you Lose your beauty for a fish, let's have a vegetarian dish, the fish steak here is just like that."

Lucy was coaxed into elation. Although she was still reluctant to part with the fish steak, she obediently ate a lot of vegetable salad.

Bai Liu pretended to pack a lot of salads for Jeff and Andre by the way, letting them eat.

Jeff ate a little out of his mind.

On the other hand, Andre saw that Bai Liu's nose was not nose and eyes, and he mocked: "It's not because our rich man is short of money, right? Before coming here, he said big things and we come here with full board and lodging. Now he can't bear to let us even a piece of fish steak." eat."

"Look, Lucy, this is your mean boyfriend!"

Lucy immediately cursed angrily: "Andre! If it wasn't for Bailiu, do you think you can come to this kind of hotel to eat this kind of high-end fish steak? You can't even live in it! Look at how much you eat, if If Bai Liu doesn't pay you, you won't be able to get out of this hotel at all!"

"Lucy!" Andre roared, but Lucy stared at Andre with her head up.

Andre had no choice but to take the woman he liked, so he turned his head and was ready to take all his anger on Bai Liu.

Amidst Lucy's screams, seeing Andre's wide palm opening to lift Bai Liu's back collar, Bai Liu still wiped his mouth unhurriedly, looked at Andre, and said with a smile : "If you still want me to pay for you, you'd better not touch me."

Andre's hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, his nostrils expanded and contracted like a cow, and let out a furious breath.

He looked at Bai Liu with red eyes, and threatened fiercely: "If you can't do what we bet on at night, I will make you, a short-handed trash who can't even get women, look good!"

Andre's eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to have been dizzy with the anger that rushed straight to his forehead, but he couldn't do anything to Bai Liu, after all, he still expected Bai Liu to pay for him.

Just at this time, a broccoli accidentally rolled out of Jeff's plate, which was eating with his head down, and rolled onto Andre's shoe.

Andre is like a balloon that has been inflated to the limit and then punctured. Before the apology from Jeff's mouth can be said, he slaps Jeff on the back of the head with his backhand, directly hitting Jeff. Ralph banged his head on the plate and spat out what he had eaten in the morning.

"You dirty my shoes! You disgusting guy!" Andre seemed to find it funny when he saw Jeff vomiting, and he snorted out a laugh from his nasal cavity as he found some psychological balance, and gave another Jeff kicked.

After wiping off the negligible oil stain on his shoes on Jeff's pants, Andre said again: "I don't care about the useless trash, wipe it off, get out of here .”

Lucy helped up the dizzy Jeff, and she yelled hysterically at Andre: "You are too much, Andre! You are too much for Jeff!"

Bai Liu didn't care about the two quarreling, his eyes were focused on Jeref's vomit, the fish fillet with a golden shell, after being chewed and spit out by Jeref, the section turned out to be blue-black like a dead fish, with stains on it. It looks like a wriggling saprophyte.

People can't eat this rotten dead fish at all, and fishmongers in the vegetable market will use this dead fish to feed large fish.

Bai Liu still remembered that a fishmonger told him that the bigger the saprophytic fish, the more they like to eat dead fish.

The driver came to pick up Bai Liu and the others after Bai Liu's breakfast.

[Main task: Visit the Siren Wax Museum, reward points 50]

[Main task: Participate in the Mermaid Fishing Conference, reward points 50]

The Siren Museum and the Mermaid Fishing Convention, which sounds like two attractions.

Bai Liu pondered for a while, and was just about to ask the driver what these two were, when Jeref suddenly rushed up and stood between Bai Liu and the driver, with his head down and not speaking, his pale and thin cheeks were sunken, and the corner of his mouth was still There were blood stains from Andre's beating, his teeth were clenched, and he was trembling slightly.

Bai Liu raised his eyebrows. From yesterday until now, Jeff seems to have been trying his best to avoid contact with the driver.

This is not normal.

Bai Liu's fingers unconsciously turned the coin in his heart.

The coin flipped back and forth on the backs of his fingers, which was a common posture for Bai Liu to think about things. The feeling that money was in his hands, even a dollar, would make him feel calm and happy.

Without any other information, Bai Liu guessed that Jeff's target should be Andre. It's normal for Andre to have contact with the driver. It is necessary to isolate so deliberately.

There must be a reason for Jeff to isolate himself from the driver, and Bai Liu thought about it for a while, and it should be money.

Looking at the daily life of dressing up and being bullied by Andre on campus, Jeff obviously doesn't look like a rich character.

Andre is also very bullying. Although he is not forgiving to the rich Bailiu, he does not take any practical actions. However, he beats and scolds Jeff when he moves. From this point of view, the situation of Jeff's family is very difficult. It should be inferior to myself, not even Andre.

And last night, Jeff gave the driver what seemed to be a large sum of money. Bai Liu had reason to suspect that Jeff took the money he asked him to hire drivers and tourists to hire drivers to take revenge on Andre, so It was only because of a guilty conscience that he kept the driver from contacting him.

But Jeff paid the driver a sum of money last night. It stands to reason that the transaction has been almost completed, and the work of the driver and tourists is also performed well on the surface. He did not express any Suspect.

Generally speaking, Jeff should breathe a sigh of relief, and there is no need to isolate him and this driver so deliberately, which will instead arouse his own suspicion.

This kind of guilty conscience doesn't seem like things haven't been implemented yet.

But it's also possible that Jeref is just cautious and timid, and doesn't let his guard down if he doesn't succeed in doing things. After all, Jeref's side plot is called "Bloody Conspiracy", and it's completely understandable for Bai Liu to be careful about this kind of plot that will kill people as soon as he hears it.

I just don't know when Jeff will choose to attack Andre, but for now, Bai Liu still wants to focus on the main task.

Bai Liu talked to the driver: "Driver, are there any attractions in Siren Town?"

"Attractions?" The driver thought for a while and said, "For our tourists, the must-sees are night fishing and museums."

After hearing this answer, Bai Liu said in his heart that it was true, and he raised his eyebrows: "Is there any special feature in fishing and wax museum?"

"Of course, we are Siren Town." The driver turned around. It was the first time that Bai Liu saw the driver's appearance in the car at close range, even if his resistance to the horror scenes was as high as Bai Liu's, he couldn't help but pause.

Not out of fear, but out of wonder.

The driver looks so strange.

There are so many white parts of this person's eyes that the eyeballs are only the size of a fly. Following the words in the whites of his eyes, the eyeballs were shaking uneasily, as if he couldn't control the eyeballs that were about to disappear and escape from his eyes.

The chauffeur's skin was so pale that it was opaque, like a piece of poor-quality wax.

As he spoke, he was still biting into a fish sandwich while driving.

The cross-section of the fish fillet that was bitten off was a rotten green-black color, as if it was made of moldy fish, but the driver ate it with great relish, his teeth were stained with green-black color, and he exposed his teeth to the white willow. A smile that was so large that it was not normal.

Bai Liu said calmly, "They're just catching mermaids."

After a long, long time, a huge net slowly floated up under the sea surface. Inside the huge net were fragmentary stumps and fish tails. A dozen mermaids were trapped in the net in pieces. They were all dead, and the fish tails were rotten. Rotten sticking to the top.

These dozen or so mermaids are like dolls in a garbage dump, twisted into a certain posture in the net, staring at the people on board with eyes fixed on their eyes, with hideous or terrified expressions on their faces, and marks of being bitten all over their bodies , as if being bitten to death by some ferocious deep-sea fish and thrown into the net.

Bai Liu looked at the faces of these shattered [mermaids] under the light of the searchlight, breathing slowly.

The faces of these mermaids are exactly the same as those of the twelve missing tourists in the newspaper.

The sailors on board were whispering joyfully:

"They will be made into wax figures and sent to the wax museum..."

"But the Wax Museum will only have four wax figures coming out tonight, because there are only four tourists, what about the extra mermaids that were salvaged?"

"Let's put it in the bottom warehouse first, you can satisfy our greed first..."

The caught mermaids were quickly sent to the rear, and it was unknown where they were transported.

The three tourists, Bai Liu and the others, could eat some fresh common sea fish caught along with the mermaid, and soon these sea fish were prepared and delivered to Bai Liu.

These sea fish seem to be contaminated with the smell of mermaids, and the taste is particularly strange after being cooked.

The three people except Bai Liu were sucking/sucking their fingers frantically at the fish that was brought out.

The fish was pushed to the center by the sashimi steak, and the wet fish head was held and chewed by Lucy. Lucy ate it so fast that even the hair on her cheek was eaten.

Lucy brushed the oily hair out of her mouth, and smiled at Bai Liu: "Bai Liu, why don't you come over to eat, the fish tonight is really fresh."

The small white eyes of the fish head in Lucy's hand stared at Bai Liu with reluctance.

Andre is biting a fish tail in his hand, and his teeth are sharp. He has become very fish-like, and his eyes are almost invisible from the front. They are located on both sides of the face. The nose is completely sunken and too wide A foul-smelling blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Jeff used a fork to cut open the fat belly of the fish. He seemed to be able to maintain his sanity, but the movements of his hands became faster and faster, mechanically stuffing the fish into his mouth.

The sailors stared at Bai Liu, they put the plate full of sea fish in front of Bai Liu forcefully, showing strange smiles: "If you don't eat fresh fish, it's a trip for nothing, Mr. Bai."

Bai Liu wanted to refuse, but another instruction popped up on the panel in front of him:

[Mission Tips: If you don’t eat the fish presented by the sailors, the fishing activity will be considered a failure]

Bai Liu was silent for two seconds, and ate a piece.

This sea fish meat has a very strange sour smell at the entrance, but when the meat passes through the throat, it becomes a normal sea fish meat with fresh and sweet taste.

All the fish in front of Bai Liu began to have a strange allure, even a person like Bai Liu, who has always had a moderate appetite, could not help but want to eat nonsense when facing the table full of fish Hesse's impulse.

The sailor saw that he had eaten, and left with satisfaction.

Bai Liu tried her best to keep her mind clear, not to look at the fish on the table, got up and stood by the sea with the sea breeze blowing, and lowered her head to smell the metallic smell of the coin in her heart.

The smell of coins calmed Bai Liu.

He can probably deduce something.

After the Siren King was salvaged, he fell into a deep sleep and lost some ability to this sea area, causing the dead people in this sea area to become / mermaids, resurrected from the dead, and returned to the world. This is actually a It was a legend, but the mermaid corpses of the twelve tourists just now verified the authenticity of this legend.

People who die here can indeed turn into mermaids.

But the question is why in such a small remote sea area, why can so many mermaids transformed from dead people be produced, and it is not enough to fill the entire wax museum? Why are there so many dead people in this sea area.

When Bai Liu saw the twelve salvaged tourist mermaids, he finally understood why this sea area produced so many mermaids.

Because this is a dumping ground.

The bodies of those missing tourists were estimated to have been thrown into this sea area, and then salvaged by these sailors as some kind of large fish, made into/watered by mermaids into wax figures.

But I just don't know who killed those tourists...

Bai Liu had a vague guess in his heart, this is a town of robbery, most of the missing tourists in this town have lost their property, Bai Liu can see from the astonishing number of robbery and disappearance cases in the newspapers, Siren Town is not a folk custom Very rustic place.

The town had gotten rich not so much from tourism as from the robbery that came with it.

Is there a fatter lamb than a tourist from afar?

Such a vicious place, with so many tourists dead, Bai Liu tends to be tourists who were robbed and assassinated and then dumped in this place. Of course, it is not ruled out that the mermaid came ashore to hunt and kill.

But judging from the mermaid's habit of fearing strong light, it is estimated that it is difficult to go ashore to hunt tourists during the day, and at night, during the popular tourist season in Siren Town, these mermaids are all caught up for tourists to watch. Very unlikely to kill...

Wait, Bai Liu is so fiercely connected in series——

The mermaid fishing activity is to catch mermaids only if someone dies in this sea area. If there are no dead people here, there will be no mermaids.

For example, Bai Liu and the others caught up the missing tourists last time during their fishing activities...

The residents of this town may have intentionally killed people, dumped their corpses and then raised /mermaids, and then turned it into a gimmick of /mermaid fishing, which was used to make tourism to attract more tourists, so that they could rob more conveniently.

No wonder the keeper said that there would be no mermaid fishing activities without tourists, and all the mermaids caught were dead tourists.
