Chapter 25: Siren Small Town

Only Wang Shun's eyes lit up: "He's assembling the monster book! He's identifying the last weakness of all the fish monsters! And then uses that weakness to force the monsters back!"

Others discussed in disbelief.

"No way?! He's really going to collect the monster book!"

"It's been said that only God Mu has managed to collect the monster book for Siren Village, and a normal player would be lucky to collect a single page, so this newcomer can do it?"

"I don't think it's possible to set it all, I've watched the gameplay videos for Siren Smallville many times and I've never seen one where you can figure out the third weakness of the mermaid wax figure and the mermaid sailor."

......

Bai Liu doesn't hear these remarks, he just raises his pickaxe high in the air with a lazy expression and aims it at Siren King in the glass display case.

The glass crackles and shatters, and the Siren King inside slides down with the liquid at Bai Liu's feet.

Even Lucy and Jeff, who were on either side of Bai Liu, covered their heads and ran away from the central gallery screaming like they had seen a demon.

Wang Shun's eyes glowed as he looked up at Bai Liu, who was drying the liquid from his fingers finger by finger, and he took a deep breath.

"The third weakness of mermaid wax figures and mermaid sailors, is Siren King!"

Bai Liu crouches down and lifts Siren King's chin.

Siren King's liquid dripped from his eyelashes onto his lustrous lips, moistening them in a line of water between them as if to tempt a kiss, a face that, when viewed in this way, was even more seductive and exquisitely beautiful beyond the limits of human imagination.

Only unconventional words like Siren and Siren could frame such a face.

The texture of Bai Liu's fingertips is so cool and delicate that it's unbelievable. What Bai Liu wanted to say was, "I didn't expect the game's npc modelling to be so good, to be able to make such good-looking npcs.

But on the threshold, Bai Liu suddenly remembered that he seemed to be on air, and at a time when he should be considered a bit excited to have collected three pages of the monster book, the audience should be more interested in watching his pretentious middle-aged speech.

So Bai Liu exhaled a long, fervent breath and smiled: "It all starts and ends with you, beautiful Siren King."

Bai Liu leaned down, loaded Siren onto his trolley, tilted his head up with his mouth slightly raised, drove the trolley with his foot down and drove the trolley out of the wax museum with Siren King in tow.

None of the mermaid wax figures dared to approach, standing far away in the shadowy corners of the wax museum, where they cowered in fear.

[System Notification: Player Bai Liu is just a hair's breadth away from completing the entire Siren's Town monster book, please keep up the good work!

For three minutes, there was a pin-drop silence in front of Bai Liu's small TV, and even Li Gou froze in his tracks for a moment.

It was Wang Shun's excited "He's almost there!" that finally broke the silence. shattered the silent atmosphere.

Then instantly, as if a drop of water had fallen into a frying pan, all the players watching the Bai Liu game on live TV were stirred up by the desperate situation and then the breezy turnaround, almost everyone screaming and boiling with restraint.

"Only the last page to go!"

"A monster book that's only one line away from being collected, damn, first time I've seen a pure newcomer make it this far, that's awesome. "

"I really want to let the forum those who force Lai Lai to say I am on I can also come to see, I guess the same situation they encountered, people Bai Liu is on the score, you are on the grave."

"So strong, encountering God-level npc's don't even bring a face, directly smashing the pickpocket out as a tool to make."

Li Gou's face darkened as he slammed his knife a few times, but he simply couldn't silence the audience who praised Bai Liu.

Many of the same people who had been so sarcastic towards Bai Liu on the forum came over to watch Bai Liu's mini-TV, and they were already upset by Bai Liu's face. What's the big deal if he's only in a single player section?"

At this point, the system informs.

[10003 people liked Bai Liu's TV, 9607 people favorited Bai Liu's TV, 1300 people charged Bai Liu's TV, player Bai Liu got 1300 points].

[Player Bai Liu gets over 10,000 likes in under a minute and his reputation is going through the roof! Player Bai Liu receives the Notorious achievement!

[Congratulations to player Bai Liu for gaining a promotional spot in the centre lobby centre screen single-player split-screen highly recommended position, wow, well done for gaining a centre promotional spot, the number of views is rising rapidly .....]

Wang Shun took a deep breath, his heart beating hard for some reason.

The recorded excitement of watching a good and unbelievably exciting game was something he hadn't felt for a long, long time, and he took a deep look at Bai Liu's small, extinguished TV and turned to run.

He must not miss a minute of this Bai Liu player's videos in the future!

Wang Shun's action of turning and running alerted the other players.

"Grass! Central promotion bit !!!! BULLSHIT! Pure newbie on his first game!!!"

"Shout my ass, go go go! If you miss any episodes later and don't see them, you'll have to charge for membership if you want to see them again, such a high quality video, it'll be in the vip library for sure! Seeing it is earning it"

The player who said [if he's really that good you put him on the centre screen] was blue in the face and was taunted by a group of people with playful glances, he took a hateful look at Bai Liu's small TV and ran away in a huff.

Li Gou, who was standing at the end of the crowd, looked black and sullen to the core, his hand creaking with his sword as he too headed for the central hall.

--------

Central Hall.

A young man crouched on the floor wearing a giant headset is holding a lollipop and scanning the entire central screen with his head tilted in relish, seemingly picking out videos that interest him.

The headset he was wearing had a fluffy, sort of big-mouthed monkey clutching the ear hooks on either side with long hands.

The monkey, with its red eyes and cloth-stitched teeth in a myriad of pointy triangles, looks a bit like a cartoon character from some children's cult classic, with a hint of terror in its cuteness.

The young man's face is also indescribably similar to the monkey's, with a round face, eyes a little dark red, and sharp tiger teeth at the corners of his mouth, which are exposed when he closes his mouth, also a kind of look that is a little scary among the cute.

The lollipop slides in his mouth and puffs his cheeks up on one side.

The man complained impatiently, "How come there isn't a single player with even the slightest potential? The list is really getting worse and worse now, there isn't even a player who can collect the monster books, and I don't know how they got up here."

He said, patting himself on the back and preparing to leave.

At this time, a list a little to the right of the very centre of the central screen suddenly jumped and the small TV of the player who had been here before went out and then lit up with a white, clean, particularly harmless looking face.

The player, who looked like an honor student, was dragging a cart with a smile as if he was handing in his homework, but his hands were crisp and nimble, pushing a stunning-looking mermaid on the cart towards the ugly-faced mermaid sailor, as if he was firing a cannon.

The mermaid sailor let out an ear-piercing, terrified scream before darting away, tears of horror mingling with fear slipping from his ugly eyes.

From behind, Bai Liu couldn't hold back a soft chuckle of pleasure as he continued his pursuit of the poor mermaid sailor.

Mu Sicheng Xu Xu, who is guarding the big screen: "......"

Then again: "???????"

Shit, this is a wild player from out of nowhere! That's a reckless way to play!

What's with the pushing of monsters all over the map!

Mu Sicheng quickly clicked on the player profile for this promotion bit and slowly frowned, " Bai Liu, why does that name sound so familiar? Have I heard it somewhere before ....."

He went on to turn the page, "This guy is playing the game well, he's collected three pages of the monster book, and he's played the branch line, and the branch line is 100% complete ...... I remember!"

Mu Sicheng recalled with a start that this was the same new player who had previously said on the forums that he was expected to surpass the single player points record in Siren.

Just a moment ago, the newcomer who said he couldn't get past [True Love's Ship] is now actually going to have all the monster books, and the [Jeff's Bloody Plot] spinoff is even finished, which he didn't even finish in the first place.

And this guy already has more charge points than he does for Siren's Town!

This guy could really lift him off the top of the record for most points in Siren's Town.

With a desire to find out and a bit of subtle defiance, Mu Sicheng wasted no time in joining the crowd at Bai Liu's little TV.

[Mu Sicheng, the fourth player in the Rising Star Rankings, has entered Bai Liu's mini-TV, he hasn't shown his attitude to you yet, so you have to try to impress him~]

Other onlookers who saw this announcement drew in their breaths and looked from side to side for Mu Sicheng.

" God Mu is here!"

"Shit Shit Shit God Mu is somewhere!!!"

"This new guy is awesome, he's able to lure God Mu over too, he hasn't watched anyone else's mini TV for a long time, he's always watched the best videos directly from the vip library, the last time God Mu watched a mini TV was from Spades."

" Spades is the king of the game, the number one ranked player in the overall standings, so it's normal for God Mu to be around, but what's this new guy that can hang God Mu out?"

Mu Sicheng stands in the corner, the giant headset of monkeys on his head transformed into a monkey duck-tongue hat.

He pressed down on the brim of his hat, his eyes, which had turned completely dark red in the shadows, looked up slightly at the languidly overdressed man on Bai Liu's small television.

Mu Sicheng clicked and crushed the lollipop in his mouth with his sharp canines, and he suddenly cocked his head and smiled wistfully.

"This newcomer, it's a bit interesting."

--------

Bai Liu pushes Siren King along the street in a straight line with a pleasant, yet beatific smile on his face, making a tense, exciting horror game feel like a casual mini-game.

The mermaid sailor trailing Bai Liu at some distance behind him grimaces as he tries to get closer, but looks fearfully at Siren King on Bai Liu's cart, staring at Bai Liu with resentment.

Bai Liu pushed the cart towards the sea as if he didn't feel anything, with the feeling that he was holding the emperor hostage.

But the relationship between Siren King and these mermaid sailors and mermaid wax figures is not as simple as that between the son of heaven and his lords.

It was easy to deduce that Siren King was the last weakness of the mermaid sailor and the mermaid wax figure, and Bai Liu did so on the basis of two main points -

Firstly, Siren King has no weaknesses, so he is the strongest in the game, which makes him a greater threat to the player in relative terms.

But at the same time it is the same for monsters.

Siren King has no weaknesses to be defeated, which is the same for monsters and players alike, and by doing so, Bai Liu instantly transfers the threat of Siren King to other monsters.

Secondly, it's all about the storyline of the game.

Through the previous series of episodes, it can be seen that the mermaid, the mermaid wax figure, and the mermaid sailor are three progressive relationships, corresponding to the larva, the pupa, and the butterfly, respectively.

But between these three monsters, there is not only an evolutionary progression of forms, but also a food chain relationship.

Mermaid sailors and mermaid wax figures, including stronger mermaids, are known to eat the flesh of weaker mermaids. Mermaid fishermen in the alienation process can only serve the alienated completed mermaid sailors, like hard labourers who can only eat after the mermaid sailors have eaten the leftovers, and have to fish for the mermaid sailors on board for free.

The mermaid sailors are in control of deciding which mermaid wax figures can be hatched, such as Lucy and Jeff last night, and it is the mermaid sailors who decide which wax figures to send to Siren to be hatched.

This is clearly an attitude of the upper class towards the lower class, like the boss of Bai Liu's company deciding what people can be promoted.

It can be seen that there is such a hierarchical relationship between the monsters [mermaids (slaves and food) → mermaid wax figures (henchmen) → mermaid sailors].

The Siren King is clearly at the top of this food chain and has some control and intimidation over all the other monsters, while the other fish monsters are clearly afraid of the Siren King.

But Bai Liu found out through the events of last night that these mermaid monsters are not just afraid of Siren King, they are afraid of Siren King.

He discovered this through the Siren Wax Museum's misfits.

With almost the entire town under the rule of the mermaid monsters, there was actually no need for the Siren Wax Museum as a place, which had previously existed mainly to cover up incriminating evidence.

But for the mermaids, there is no need for this.

Mermaid wax figures can be found all over the town, just like the ones in the hotels, but why is it necessary to fix a certain number of mermaid wax figures in the wax museum, and even to replenish them as soon as they leave the museum to ensure that the number of mermaid wax figures here remains constant?

This act of having a certain number of monsters fixed in one place, guarding one thing all the time, has a more appropriate term for it, called guarding.

The Siren Wax Museum is more like a prison with a certain number of soldiers under strict guard than a wax museum.

Yes, that's right, these mermaid wax figures are guarding the Siren King in the Siren Wax Museum.

It is likely that the liquid in the glass display case had some restraining effect on Siren King, who was most likely restrained by some means unknown to Bai Liu.

If the game had told Bai Liu that Siren King had a weakness, Bai Liu would have guessed that it was this liquid that almost crystallised in a thin crust over Siren King's eyelashes.

But alas, Siren King has no weaknesses and this liquid will only restrain him for a moment, he will soon be able to awaken from it on his own.

In fact, Bai Liu is not wrong in the strictest sense, because the weakness of the normal version of [Siren Banshee] is indeed this liquid.

The player also needs to use the liquid to limit the level of unconsciousness of the [Siren Banshee] to prevent the Siren Banshee from attacking the player once she is fully awake.

But unfortunately for Bai Liu, he encountered Siren King, a buggy version of a godlike npc that had been possessed and enhanced to wake up purely on its own.

So even if Bai Liu had been right, it wouldn't have helped, as the liquid's effect on Siren King was quite limited and it was unrealistic to expect it to knock him out again.

The Siren Wax Museum is Siren King's prison, and the reason these mermaid monsters are so afraid of Siren King waking up is that once Siren King wakes up, it's basically the death of these monsters throughout the town of Siren.

These monsters only began to appear after Siren King was salvaged, and conversely, when Siren King sank to the bottom of the sea, it was time for these monsters to disappear.

That's why the monsters were so scared of Siren King and didn't dare to disturb Bai Liu, who was rushing around with his cart, for fear of disturbing Siren King, who was still asleep and not awake.

But what these mermaid monsters don't know is that for Bai Liu, if Siren King wakes up, he too will be dead.

Bai Liu dares to be so arrogant because he knows that Siren King will not wake up for a short period of time, the system has told him that it will take five hours before he wakes up.

All Bai Liu has to do now is to take the boat to the sea [Siren's Gift] and sink Siren King to the bottom of the sea to end the game.

[Congratulations to the player for unlocking the entire story plot and entering the finished prologue].

[Due to players escaping from the wax museum during the day and the fact that the mermaid wax figure cannot move during the day, in order to allow the mermaid wax figure to go out and participate in the final episode, as well as the fact that players currently have a huge advantage that has strongly affected gameplay, in order to weaken players' current advantage and balance gameplay, the weather is about to shift, so please prepare in time]

[Weather Change: Cloudy → Stormy]

The rain suddenly poured down, crackling with beans and making dust and puddles on the ground, and Bai Liu was instantly drenched.

He holds the cart in one hand and with the other he spreads his five fingers to lift the wet hair that clings to his eyelids on his forehead, droplets of water dripping from the ends of his hair onto Bai Liu's eyelashes and sliding down to the floor after him.

The world in front of us is dense with a rainy white mist in a matter of seconds.

Bai Liu was so badly rained upon, but the mermaid sailors who had been in hot pursuit behind him threw back their heads and gulped down the rain.

They seem to have received some kind of energy from the rain and have become strange-looking, with gills standing on the sides of their mouths, fleshy membranes growing on their hands, and green light erupting from their eyes as they begin to approach Bai Liu step by step.

And some wax figures of mermaids that had been hiding in the shadows by the roadside began to come closer, their pure white stone fish tails seeming to come to life in the rain, moving across the ground as if they had been rubbed with lubricant and swimming much faster than before.

The expression on the wax figure's face has changed from a thousand smiles to a grimace and a rampant grin, the grey-black cracks around the whites of the eyes spreading all over the body, the upper half of the body losing its human appearance and becoming more like a jagged-looking fish from the deep sea.

Siren King's long eyelashes twitched twice as the rain moistened his slimy fishtail, washing away what was left of Siren King's body, the liquid from the glass cabinet, and the silvery blue scales began to open and glisten in the curtain of rain.

Bai Liu scans for these monsters with the coin game manager hanging around his neck.

[Monster Name: Mermaid Wax Figure (Rainwater enhancement in progress, faster movement on land, Siren King deterrent power reduced, attack power enhanced)]

[Monster Name: Mermaid Sailor (Rainwater enhancement in progress, faster movement on land, Siren King deterrent power reduced, attack power enhanced)]

[Monster Name: Siren King (The rain has no reinforcing effect, but due to the washing away of the ecstasy liquid, Siren King's awakening time has been advanced, only three hours remain before Siren King will awaken, please accelerate the game)]

Bai Liu scanned through all the panel messages with a scattered expression and said, "This game is a bit of a rogue, forcing players to cut down if they can't play. "

"And isn't it a bit too much, not only did it strengthen all the monsters and shorten my clearance time, this heavy rain also limited my movement speed and sense of direction, my panel index is still floating red, it's easy to die playing chase players in this situation ah ....."

"But it's not absolutely unplayable." Bai Liu barred the hair that had been dripping and obstructing his view by raking all of it to the back of his head with his fingers.

The rain slid down his jaw, tightening the collar of his soaked clothes, which, combined with this dense downpour, left Bai Liu a little short of breath.

Bai Liu unbuttoned the first button of his soaked white shirt and suddenly lifted his eyes and smiled faintly, "I hope the game ends up giving me a reward worthy of my efforts, I don't play games where the rewards are out of balance."

[If you can win, you won't be disappointed with our game rewards that are sure to satisfy your innermost desires]

Bai Liu smiled, "Thank you in advance for the reward then."

His tone and attitude were very natural, as if he had already received his reward from the system, but the group of people in front of the screen all looked dumbfounded.

Bai Liu's mini-TV had a lot of new viewers, some of whom were attracted by the gimmick [Mu Sicheng is watching the new main player mini-TV], because of the strong single player push position in the central lobby.

The group had not seen Bai Liu's previous miraculous actions, but had only seen a short live broadcast after Bai Liu had reached the [Highly Recommended List], and were speechless at Bai Liu's ability to make such a confident statement in such a life-threatening situation.

"I thought God Mu was looking at some kind of player, but I didn't expect it to be one of these, with monster enhancements, his own panel in the red across the board, a shortened game time, and the leisure to be cool and gossip, so maybe I just don't get it."

"I was reading the forum before and blowing it up, but now I see he's playing like this and it's nothing more than that, and I don't know how he got to the Power Push promotion spot, by face?"

In Bai Liu's defence, the majority of this section has been chased all the way from the [single player section].

"Three pages of a monster book and you're still fucking weak? You're the only one with long hands who can play the game, aren't you? Show us how many monster books you've collected."

"Let's see who says they're better than Bai Liu? Oh a bunch of viewers who weren't even charged with more than ten points, that's fine."

Players are able to check each other's charge points, which now pokes the lungs of those who have been mocking Bai Liu, and the bickering gets worse and worse.

Each side held its own words and fought like hell.

Wang Shun was watching Bai Liu on the small TV with a worried look on his face, without saying a word.

Bai Liu was really lucky to be targeted both inside and outside the game.

And it's still being targeted by the meanest audience in the entire system.

Wang Shun looked at the group of spectators walking at the front and couldn't help but let out a long sigh - this is a game with a guild system, and some guild players go around causing trouble because they have the backing of their guild, and despite not being very good, they are extremely mean to newcomers who have the potential to get a promotion spot at the top and will try to stomp them out.

Bai Liu, for example, is now encountering such an audience.

------

[32 people liked Bai Liu's TV, 89 people favorited Bai Liu's TV, 0 people charged Bai Liu's TV and 3807 people stepped on Bai Liu's TV].

[Player Bai Liu has been stepped on by more than 3,000 people in one minute and your little TV has been stepped on by more than 5,000 people, earning you the title of Abomination]

[It seems everyone hates you to leave here, oh no, to die here,]

[Player Bai Liu's Central Lobby Single Player Power Play promotion expires soon]

----

Wang Shun saw the system notification and let out a long sigh of relief that it would turn out this way.

Some of the viewers who had followed Bai Liu all the way from the division were angry and red-eyed, while those in the Central District who resented Bai Liu for stealing the promotion spot were smug.

At this time someone exclaimed, "There's another one in the newcomer section over here on the Central Hall fringe promotion!"

Another one, the one before was Bai Liu, and who is this one.

Wang Shun looks over suspiciously to find a player with a flaming torch and bubbles in the water.

This player is snorkelling and swimming on the surface, using a torch to chase away the mermaid sailors that are coming after him, and he is holding a mermaid's skeleton in his right hand, a real skeleton, white and bony, a normal [Sel Banshee], not Bai Liu's version of [Siren King].

The player was also clearly alienated, with his face covered in fish scales and his lower body becoming somewhat similar to a fish's tail, with his thighs fused to his heels disappearing, which allowed him to swim fast through the water.

This player has obviously also reached the final prologue and will be able to clear the level once he returns the Siren Banshee to the bottom of the sea.

The survival rate of this player over here is clearly much greater than that of Bai Liu on all sides.

This provoked even greater jeers from the audience of this group of guild players.

"I'm laughing my ass off, didn't you brag about this Bai Liu? Other newcomers with traditional programmes are still ahead of you, Bai Liu!"

"This Bai Liu just likes to play hard to get, I advise you to watch more videos of serious gods and spend more money than watching this Bai Liu's free stream."

"Let's go, the esteemed players of big guilds like us have nothing to say to the retail players like them, don't look, it's a waste of time."

As people continued to leave Bai Liu's TV, the previously crowded Bai Liu TV viewing area soon became empty, and Wang Shun sighed and walked over to the front of Bai Liu's TV, a spot he had wanted to come to but had been pushed away from because of the crowds.

[7,060 people left player Bai Liu's TV, of which 3,900 went to the newcomer's TV next door]

[Player Bai Liu's performance was so bad that no one saw it or liked it, and there was a lot of stepping on it, all you got in this position was scorn, and the system that strongly recommended you was so disappointed that it decided to swap player Bai Liu's promotion spot with the newcomer's next door]

Wang Shun froze and soon a system notification popped up.

[Player Bai Liu drops down to promotion spot in Central Lobby Fringe]

[Player Muke has been promoted to the Highly Recommended promotion in the Single Player section of the Central Lobby]

Bai Liu did not stay in this position for ten minutes before he was removed.

There were not too many people in the audience following Bai Liu's promotion along with Wang Shun, but one of them, a man with a strange monkey hat, standing in the front row of the small TV like Wang Shun, caught his attention.

Wang Shun gave the man a curious look.

Bai Liu's ups and downs have been a saddening experience for him as a viewer who has followed along.

So Wang Shun approached the man who had also come along for the ride: "Why did you come along? Do you like Bai Liu too?"

The man in the monkey hat lifted the brim of his hat slightly, revealing a pair of sly red eyes, "Because I think this man who is said to be able to replace me is definitely more than that."

Who is Bai Liu replacing? Wang Shun was stunned and then reacted, almost exclaiming.

But soon Mu Sicheng made a shushing gesture and continued to lower his voice and laugh.

"And he did play very well before didn't he? Three pages of the monster book, and it's the first time I've seen a player other than me collect it to that extent. And the last page if it wasn't for Siren King, I'm sure he would have definitely collected it by now."

"This guy isn't playing hard to get, he's really strong." Mu Sicheng looked sideways at Bai Liu's small TV with a grin on his face, "I've never seen the system go so far to undermine a player's advantage."

"The system says it's in pursuit of game balance, so that means Bai Bai Liu This player needs to be nerfed to such an extent that it's considered balanced gameplay, and with such a strong player, it's amazing that anyone would think he couldn't get through ......"

"How can I put it." Mu Sicheng let out a soft laugh, "This group of guild players who think they're above it all are just a bit funny."

[Mu Sicheng, the fourth ranked player in the Rising Stars standings, enters Bai Liu's mini-TV]

[Mu Sicheng liked player Bai Liu's little TV, he seems to have a soft spot for players~]

[Mu Sicheng used his access to the fourth player in the Rising Star Rankings to recommend Bai Liu's ongoing mini-TV on his own mini-TV that wasn't live yet, and a huge audience was about to flock to it~]

Wang Shun was completely dumbfounded and took a moment to react before he asked Mu Sicheng, somewhat puzzled, "So God Mu, if you think Bai Liu is strong, then why didn't you just say that Bai Liu is strong? You had to wait until he fell to the fringe before you recommended him? "

If Mu Sicheng had come forward and said that, Bai Liu might have been able to keep his highly recommended promotion spot, a recommendation from a god like Mu Sicheng would have been good for a newbie like Bai Liu.

Mu Sicheng curled his lips as he gave Wang Shun a sidelong glance: "But I was waiting for him to fall to the edge."

"For such strong players, snow is better than icing on the cake, and my aim in recommending him now is for him to owe me a favour."

Wang Shun choked on Mu Sicheng's blunt shamelessness and looked at the legendary God Mu with incomprehension.

This God Mu was nothing like the thundering, cold look he'd seen in the game.

So cheeky and shameless.

----------

Bai Liu knows nothing about these outside things.

Bai Liu pushes a cart around, moving slowly, and has been overtaken several times. Once overtaken, Bai Liu backhanded the Siren King on the cart, forcing back the pursuing mermaid monster several times.

But it was no longer working, as more and more monsters were chasing Bai Liu and seemed less and less afraid of Siren King because of the rain.

Bai Liu was caught in the arm by the sharp clawed flippers of a mermaid sailor, blood spurting out as he turned and dragged his cart into an alleyway, when his mind buzzed suddenly and a red warning panel popped up on the system.

[Warning: Player Bai Liu has been scratched by a mermaid sailor and has become alienated, his spirit level has dropped to 60 and will soon drop below the safe spirit level.

Bai Liu covered his still bleeding arm and leaned back against the wall of the alleyway to catch his breath, his whole body so wet from the rain that it looked like he had been fished out of the sea.

He closed his eyes to adjust to his exhalation and the sudden onslaught of dizziness and sluggishness.

Bai Liu had fallen once before, but after suffering the early discomfort, he recovered quickly thanks to his high mental strength and resistance.

But this time it's not so good.

Bai Liu fell to his knees with a weakness in his knees, covering his arms, his face quickly spread with grey and black lines, dark green scales began to grow under his eyes and his complexion became increasingly dead white.

He gasped uncontrollably with his head down and the rain pouring down over his head, Bai Liu like a dying fish caught and landed.

"That was a mistake on my part. " Bai Liu's tone was still calm, "I didn't expect the drop in spirit value to sixty to affect me so much."

Wang Shun looked at Bai Liu on the small TV with a tense expression: "The mental value is really encrusted (going to drop below 60), one more number and I will start to have hallucinations."

Mu Sicheng also looked a lot more serious: "True down sixty, it's easy to gg in a chase because there are hallucinations and you can't tell the real monsters from the ones you see in hallucinations and can't find your way to escape."

"Would it be useful to buy a spirit rinse at this time?" Wang Shun asked nervously, " Bai Liu now has enough machines to buy rinse spirit props, and after rinsing it, the spirit value can go back up."

Mu Sicheng, however, shook his head, "You might be able to float in other games, but it's better not to float spirit in this game."

Wang Shun became more and more confused: "Why?"

Mu Sicheng, however, no longer answers.

Bai Liu on the small TV suddenly staggered to his feet propped up against the wall, squinting as he looked out into the alleyway where he was hiding, where several mermaid sailors and mermaid wax figures were leaning over, the monsters' black silhouettes looming in the foggy downpour.

If he rushes out now, he will be caught by these monsters 100% of the time.

All he needed now was one more scratch and his spirit value would instantly drop below the 60 mark.

With the rain and hallucinations, he had no way of telling where he was going.

Something has to be done, Bai Liu muses, leaning against the wall.

The mermaid outside the alleyway sniffed, crawling up the walls like a gecko and scouting around as fast as it could, an angry green glint in its eyes and mucus dripping from its slightly open mouth.

Having reached the vicinity of the alleyway, the creatures tilted their heads and sniffed twice, cracking a creepy fish-lipped smile as they flew closer to the alleyway with their hands and feet pressed against the wall.

Wang Shun held his breath as he watched, the words [Bai Liu Run] in his throat barely escaping his lips before exiting, his fists clenched.

It's useless to run at this point, because Bai Liu's movement speed is nowhere near as fast as that of the mermaid monsters, so running out instead attracts the opponent's attention and is the equivalent of serving food.

The only thing left to do now is to pray that the monsters don't find Bai Liu in the alleyway so that he can hide.

But now that these monsters are closing in on the entrance to the alleyway, the situation is not good for hate.

Wang Shun's thoughts were still fresh when Bai Liu, pulling a cart and drenched in rain, rushed out of the alleyway without hesitation.

Wang Shun: "!!!!"

Wang Shun was so anxious that he blurted out, "We can't run! If we do, we're finished!"

As Wang Shun had expected, in a blink of an eye the mermaid monsters darted closer and gathered at the entrance to the alleyway, followed closely by many mermaid wax figures clustered around them.

The narrow entrance to the alleyway is instantly surrounded by monsters. Bai Liu pulls the cart, running at an unhurried pace, his eyes calmly approaching the monsters that surround him.

Wang Shun gets it - Bai Liu is trying to make a hard break from the ring!

Wang Shun is so anxious he's stamping his feet.

He couldn't believe that Bai Liu would make such a fatal mistake at such a critical moment. Even if Bai Liu had made a strong breakthrough here, these monsters were faster than Bai Liu and could have caught up with him and torn him apart at any moment, it was useless for him to run out like that!

Mu Sicheng's brow furrowed: "The drop in mental values may have affected some of his thinking skills, which shouldn't have run out here."

"Right." Wang Shun exhaled deeply, "We'd forgotten to estimate the effect of the drop in mental values on Bai Liu's thinking and stamina values, he should be really panicking here."

The expressions on the faces of the rest of the audience were a complete mess.

Some people are starting to complain that Mu Sicheng has recently changed his tastes and likes to eat vegetables, and that the recommended players are so vegetable.

Mu Sicheng, who heard this, pretended not to hear, but pressed the brim of his hat slightly downwards.

Bai Liu threw back his hand and used the cart with Siren King to break the circle, the eyes of the monsters staring straight at Bai Liu as he ran away.

Wang Shun's heart was in his throat - they're going after him! The monsters are catching up!

Then the mermaid monsters on the small TV hovered strangely by the alleyway entrance for a moment and actually ignored the Bai Liu who had run away and strangely all poured into the alleyway entrance.

Wang Shun: "???"

Mu Sicheng: "????"

Other viewers: "????????????"

Why aren't the monsters chasing the players, what are they doing in the alleyways?

The picture on the small TV slowly switches to the inside of the alleyway, and there is actually a Bai Liu at the far end.

This Bai Liu is holding the cart in front of the monsters and making some very aggressive movements.

Bai Liu also tilted his chin and slightly hooked his index finger at the mermaid monsters, seemingly provoking them to go over and fight him head on, and they were indeed provoked and attacked through gritted teeth.

This bizarre alternative to Bai Liu sparked discussion among the audience.

"Wow, what is this!"

"Shit, what's this prop, it's a cheat, is it possible to use such a diversionary prop in a level 1 copy like Siren Town?"

"You can't use high level props, right? Using too high level props in such low level copies will be kicked out directly by the system for breaking the balance."

"So what's this one?"

But the first mermaid monster scratched angrily and this Bai Liu inside the alleyway dissolved into a stump, but quickly recovered, with that lazy, indebted smile on his face.

Wang Shun suddenly remembered a prop in Bai Liu's arsenal and exclaimed, "It's a 3-D projector! This thing Bai Liu is using is a 3d projector!"

" The monsters in this copy of Siren town are of low intelligence and are unable to tell the difference between an image projection and a real person."

Wang Shun clicked on the manual of this 3d projector and said in a quick glance, "The projection of the 3d projector as an instrument in the rain will make the image more physical, and together with the provocative actions made by Bai Liu's image, it is indeed easy to anger and attract these mermaid monsters of low intelligence. "

"So between a player fleeing with their head in their hands and a player who is in a fighting position, the thinking skills of these monsters will incline them to tackle the more dangerous one first."

Wang Shun's eyes glowed: "He used this prop and managed to shake off the monsters."

One viewer questioned, "But no matter how low the intelligence is, as long as these monsters attack ineffectively multiple times, they will realize they've been tricked and will go after the real Bai Liu, but the real Bai Liu moves at a much lower speed than these monsters."

"Even if he shakes it off here he'll still be caught up unless he restricts the movement of these monsters."

No sooner had the viewer's questioning words left his lips than the monsters on the small TV began to sniff suspiciously close to Bai Liu's image, giving the impression a couple of paws with their flippers and realising that it was indeed not real than the monsters let out an ear-splitting whine of anger at being teased.

A group of monsters were about to rush out of the alleyway in pursuit of the real Bai Liu.

At this point, Bai Liu, behind them, hooked his lips in a smile and unhurriedly took out a torch, pointed it flat at the monsters with their backs to him and flipped the switch as if he had pulled the trigger.

Blindingly bright beams of light fired through the wailing, eye-covered wax figures of mermaids in the alleyway, leading straight into the rain.
