Chapter 23: The small town of Siren

After reading the biography of Li Gou, Wang Shun felt for the first time that having this skill of accessing a player's former [Know-it-all] was not a good skill.

This game is only for people with extremely strong desires, and it can be said that there is no shortage of vicious people in this game, on the contrary, this is the best stage and battlefield for them, and many high rollers have had a lot of blood on their hands.

Wang Shun looked at Bai Liu on the small TV screen with a little concern and let out a long sigh.

The game over there hasn't logged out yet, and there's already a butcher guarding you over here.

Bai Liu, you are a veritable bummer.

----------

Bai Liu waits alone on the sea until dawn, and it is not long before the big boat he left last night returns, noticing that Jeff and Lucy are both at the bow, and that Jeff seems to be comforting Lucy and has his hand on Lucy's shoulder.

Lucy buried her head in Jeff's arms as if she was about to collapse, and was gently soothed by him.

Jeff kissed Lucy's weeping face lovingly from time to time, and Lucy did not refuse, but snuggled up to him with some dependence, and Bai Liu raised his eyebrows imperceptibly at this scene.

It seems that after one night, not only did Bai Liu's boat of true love make it to shore, but Jeff and Lucy, too, seem to have boarded the boat of true love.

But as the boat approached, Lucy and Jeff above them saw Bai Liu, draped in a blanket as if she had slept through the night, and Lucy let out a sharp scream, covering her chest and pushing Jeff away.

And Jeff took a few steps back as if he couldn't believe it and was very flustered, gesturing wildly with his hands, "Bai Liu, are you, are you okay? No, I mean, are you okay?"

Bai Liu climbed up calmly by grabbing the rope ladder lowered from above, his meaningful eyes darting between Lucy and Jeff with a kind smile, "I'm fine, good morning Jeff, Lucy, I've had a rather pleasant evening, and it seems you have too?"

Lucy panics and prepares to lean over to hug Bai Liu's arm, which Bai Liu avoids without a word.

Lucy covered her face and cried, "No, last night Jeff and I said that you and Andre were going to die and I was so scared and I thought it was all my fault and Jeff comforted me."

Bai Liu smiled, but did not pursue the matter further, his attention shifting elsewhere.

Lucy's face was white to the point of translucency, there was an eerie snag in her movements, and the texture in her hand to the touch was very much like that of the amulet mermaid wax figure Bai Liu had touched in the bottom barn earlier, with a brittle, thin paraffin-like feel like an eggshell, and without that very strong ichthyological smell on her body.

Jeff also started to defend himself, his eyes averted, "Yes, Lucy thought something was going to happen to you and Andre and stayed with me because she was scared, we didn't have anything."

He squeezed a forced smile at Bai Liu, "I know she's your girlfriend, I won't do anything, you're my best friend, Bai Liu."

Bai Liu was noncommittal: "Where did you spend the night last night? Siren Wax Museum, right?"

Lucy exclaimed, "How did you know?" .

Then Lucy started blathering on, "Yeah, they wouldn't let us go back to the hotel, supposedly it's some sort of custom here that after taking part in mermaid fishing, you need to stay overnight at the Siren Wax Museum in order to wash the smell of murder and blood off your body."

"The place was horrible, it was full of wax figures, it was like they moved at night, and wherever Jeff and I went, there was a wax figure in our way."

Jeff was still smiling stiffly, " Bai Liu, where's Andre? Where did he go?"

Bai Liu smiles, "He should be at the Siren Wax Museum right now, waiting for us."

Jeff glanced suspiciously at Andre's boat on the sea.

The boat was covered in black, paint-like blood and there were strips of leather that could be seen as Andre's blouse.

Jeff's eyes flashed at the sight, and he couldn't help a quick and grim smile as he bowed his head.

Bai Liu looks at Jeff and it is clear that Andre's death has satisfied Jeff.

But soon Jeff came over to Bai Liu in mock confusion, pointing to the boat, "But, Bai Liu, Andre's boat is still here, he can't be back on shore ......"

Jeff glanced timidly at Bai Liu, scowled, and stopped talking just in time.

Lucy covered her lips with another gasp, her voice tinged with sobs, "Oh my God, Andre's not really dead! Bai Liu!"

She looked at Bai Liu with some disbelief and disappointment: "You killed Andre? You didn't push him into the sea, did you?"

Bai Liu thought she wanted to cry, but her eyes were dry, and yes, how could a wax figure shed tears, Bai Liu thought absently.

Jeff looked at Bai Liu with a sad look on his face: "You shouldn't have done what you did, even though Andre was not a good person, he deserved to live."

Bai Liu laughed softly as he looked Jeff straight in the eye, "The same words I can probably return to you."

Jeff locked eyes with him warily

Bai Liu shrugged indifferently and smiled at Lucy, who was still accusing him, "You'll see Andre when you get to the wax museum, I won't lie to you."

"Lie to you and we'll break up." Bai Liu said with a smirk.

Lucy hesitated for a moment as she scanned Bai Liu's trouser pockets - that's where Bai Liu keeps his wallet - and her mouth finally shut at the thought of the high cost of the holiday.

Bai Liu has figured out the last ten percent of the [Jeff's Bloody Plot] spinoff.

He felt he was still overestimating the humanity of this game's NPC setting too much, and that there wasn't a single teammate in this game who was even slightly kind to him.

Bai Liu is used to being pressured by his boss to celebrate friendship and goodness when designing games, or at least to design a teammate who is a pure good guy on his side, as this makes the game better for the review.

I didn't expect to see a full cast of villains here - Andre, who likes to use violence, Jeff, who is obsequious and ruthless, and Lucy, his girlfriend, who seems nice to him but is only dating him for money and could cheat on him at any time ......

This set up where everyone is no good he's really ...... Loved it so much.

The corner of Bai Liu's mouth quirked up.

Once you get out of the mindset that [an NPC like Jeff who knows the mermaid setting should need to be kept until the end, then he must be a good guy], the last ten percent of [Jeff's bloody conspiracy] is a good guess.

It's no wonder that Jeff was on guard against Bai Liu and that the progress bar on the Bloody Conspiracy mission went up twice - because there were always two people Jeff wanted to kill, Bai Liu and Andre, from start to finish.

The driver was given the task of not only killing Andre, but also Bai Liu, which may have even included a series of operations such as robbing and sharing the loot.

Now that I think about it, it's weird that the player and his group came to Siren and the initiator was the player himself, because the player is a man who is set up to be so timid that he would cry when he gets in his car to come to Siren, and would never pick a creepy place like Siren to bet on.

For the others, Andre obviously didn't know about this place and Lucy was a first timer, and the only one who knew anything about it and would recommend it as a guts test was Jeff, who has been immersed in mermaid research for years.

Bai Liu's role as the cowardly player who comes to Siren to bet with Andre is probably due to Jeff's encouragement.

He had researched Siren and was aware of the town's robber barons and the police's difficulties in solving crimes, with many missing people not being found.

This information leads to the conclusion that the town of Siren is the best place to destroy a body.

There's no better place to dump a body than in Siren.

Jeff, that passable mermaid setting is not meant to give players a pass.

--instead, it is used to assassinate players.

[Side Quest - Jeff's Bloody Conspiracy, 100% progress, completed, 50 points earned]

[Unlock the hidden status of the character - Jeff who resents everything]

Bai Liu swipes Jeff with a coin.

[npc name: Jeff (?????) status)]

[Character Bio: An ardent lover of mermaids, sea monsters and other unnatural creatures, Lucy and her group are heading to Siren Town and has volunteered to go along.

[Character's hidden profile: After years of being beaten by Andre for school violence and being afraid to fight back, Jeff deeply hates everything inside ......]

[...... After Jeff accidentally gains your trust and becomes your friend, he becomes jealous of you with your beautiful girlfriend and deep family fortune, resents you for not doing justice to his life, thinks you're nothing but a hypocrite, wants to take everything from you, and even wants to use you to kill Andre].

[After coming across this opportunity for you and Andre to make a bet, his heart moved ...... Knowing the perfect place in the world to commit a crime, it won't be him who kills you and Andre, but the mermaid he loves so much, he decides to choose what he loves most to end you and Andre's lives ......]

[Warning given after unlocking side plot - Jeff has very low trust in the player and is likely to attack the player, so please take care of your safety]

Wang Shun, who was in front of the small TV, realized, "So that's what happened, I was just wondering why Jeff kept trying to get players killed during the land chase later on, even God Mu almost got screwed."

Other players are also discussing complaints about.

"Fuck! Jeff, you turned out to be this kind of persona! With that proficient mermaid info setting of his, I thought he was an NPC that gave info and couldn't just die! I even saved him a couple of times when I was chased playing this game and almost got cold feet!"

No sooner had the audience complimented Bai Liu on the discussion than Li Gou slammed his knife impatiently and the room fell silent.

Li Gou looked at Bai Liu on the small TV and snorted, "It's just a branch line, I thought it was so awesome, the forum is blowing it up to be the next Mu Sicheng."

"The guy who blew it hasn't played many games or been on a few promotional spots, has he? Just him? The next Mu Sicheng? He's worth it?"

Wang Shun opened his mouth, but closed it without retort, shaking his head helplessly.

Less knowledgeable?

He has watched so many live videos of Siren Village that the only players he knows of who have beaten the near-complete spinoff are Mu Sicheng and this Bai Liu.

Mu Sicheng's live gameplay video of Siren Town is in the system's VIP video library and costs 40 points to watch.

The price is enough to show the value of the information inside the video. The branch that Mu Sicheng can play is definitely not something that anyone can play easily, otherwise it wouldn't be in the vip pool.

And even Mu Sicheng himself, [Jeff's Bloody Plot], a branch line that Wang Shun remembers God Mu failed to get through ten percent of the time.

Mu Sicheng's playing Siren Small Town with a luck value of 56 already, and from Wang Shun's point of view, Bai Liu can play to that extent, at least in this game -

-- Bai Liu is far superior to Mu Sicheng.
