Chapter 23: Siren Town (1/2)

After reading about Li Gou’s life, Wang Shun felt for the first time that it wasn’t good for him to possess the ‘Know It All’ skill that allowed him to check players. He looked at Bai Liu on the small TV with a bit of worry and sorry.

The game over there hadn’t even been finished yet there was already a butcher guarding him out here.

Bai Liu really had a luck value of 0.

[126 new people liked Bai Liu’s small TV, 675 new people have bookmarked Bai Liu’s small TV, 0 people have charged Bai Liu’s small TV and 378 people have stepped on player Bai Liu’s small TV.]

[Player Bai Liu has gained 3,000 viewers in one minute but the like rate is less than one-tenth. It seems that most of the viewers are watching you to eat melons and join in the fun~]

[A high level player Li Gou is watching the player Bai Liu’s small TV. Congratulations to player Bai Liu for winning the first high level player audience!]

[Li Gou has stepped on the player Bai Liu. Wu wu, it seems this high level player doesn’t like you.]

Bai Liu waited on the sea until dawn. It didn’t take long for the big ship that had left last night to come back. He noticed that both Jeff and Lucy were at the bow of the ship. Jeff seemed to be comforting Lucy, his hand on Lucy’s shoulder.

Lucy buried her head in Jeff’s arms like she was about to collapse and she was gently soothed by him. Jeff also kissed Lucy’s crying face affectionately from time to time. Lucy didn’t refuse and somewhat snuggled against him dependently. Looking at this scene, Bai Liu slightly raised his eyebrow.

It seemed that after one night, it wasn’t only Bai Liu’s True Love Ship that successfully made it ashore. It seemed Jeff and Lucy also boarded the ship of true love.

Once the big ship approached, Lucy and Jeff saw Bai Liu draped in the quilts like he had been sleeping all night. Lucy screamed with surprise, clutching her chest and pushing Jeff away. Jeff seemed disbelieving and took a few steps away in a panic, gesturing wildly. “Bai Liu, you are okay?! No, I mean, are you okay?”

Bai Liu calmly grabbed the rope ladder that had been lowered and climbed it. His meaningful eyes moved between Lucy and Jeff before he showed a kind smile. “I’m fine. Good morning Jeff, Lucy. I had a very pleasant evening. It seems that you did as well?”

Lucy panicked and leaned over to hug Bai Liu’s arm. Bai Liu calmly avoided her and Lucy covered her face and cried. “No, Jeff told me last night that you and Andre would both die. I was scared and thought it was my fault. Jeff comforted me.”

Bai Liu smiled but didn’t ask if Jeff comforted her using his body. His attention was on other places.

Lucy’s face was pale and there was a weird lag to her actions. In addition, the texture of her hand… was very similar to the texture of the amulet merfolk statue that Bai Liu touched in the warehouse before. It was as crisp as an egg shell and the thin texture didn’t give off a fishy smell.

Jeff also defended himself, his eyes dodging around. “Yes, Lucy thought you and Andre had an accident and stayed with me because of fear. There is nothing between us.” He squeezed out a reluctant smile at Bai Liu. “I know she is your girlfriend and I didn’t do anything. You are my best friend, Bai Liu.”

Bai Liu didn’t think so. “Where did you spend last night? The museum, right?”

Lucy exclaimed loudly, “How did you know?” Then she started complaining endlessly. “Yes, they didn’t allow us to go back to the hotel. They said it is the custom here after participating in the merfolk fishing activity. In order to wash away the scent of killing and blood, we needed to spend the night at the Siren Museum. That place is terrible. It is full of statues that seem to move at night. No matter where we went, Jeff and I would have statues blocking our way.”

Jeff was still smiling. “Bai Liu, where is Andre? Where did he go?”

Bai Liu smiled and replied, “He should be at Siren Museum now, waiting for us.”

Jeff looked suspiciously at Andre’s boat on the sea. The boat was covered with black paint-like blood and there were some torn leather strips that could be seen as Andre’s coat. Jeff’s eyes flashed at this scene and he lowered his head. He couldn’t help showing a happy grin.

Bai Liu watched Jeff. It was clear that Andre’s death had satisfied this person.

Soon, Jeff turned to look at Bai Liu again. He pretended to be puzzled as he pointed to the ship. “However, Andre’s boat is still here. It is impossible for him to return to the shore.” Jeff glanced at Bai Liu timidly, shrank back and stopped his mouth at just the right time.

Lucy exclaimed again and covered her lips. “My god, Andre is really dead! Bai Liu!” She looked at him with disbelief and disappointment. “Did you kill Andre? Did you push him into the sea?”

Bai Liu thought she wanted to cry but her eyes were dry. That’s right. How could a statue shed tears?

Jeff looked sadly at Bai Liu. “You shouldn’t have done such a thing. Andre might not be a good person but he has the right to live.”

Bai Liu smiled as he stared into Jeff’s eyes. “I might be able to say the same thing back to you.”

Jeff stared at him vigilantly. Bai Liu shrugged indifferently and turned to Lucy who was still accusing him. “You can wait until we get to the museum to see Andre. I wouldn’t lie to you.”

“We’ll break up if I lie to you,” Bai Liu continued with a smile.

Lucy hesitated a moment. She glanced at Bai Liu’s trouser pockets where Bai Liu put his wallet. Then she thought of the high vacation expenses and finally closed her mouth.

Bai Liu had figured out the last 10% of Jeff’s bloody conspiracy. He felt that he had overestimated the human nature of the NPC setting in this game too much. This game actually had no teammates who were slightly kind to him.
