Outside the canteen, it was deathly silent. No one spoke, everyone still stunned and unable to recover from the scene they had just witnessed.

Inside the canteen, there was only thick black fog, and only vaguely moving humanoid shapes could be seen.

Even though they couldn’t see clearly, everyone knew what was happening inside.

Through the glass door earlier, most people had seen the whole process.

That female player was about to run out of the canteen and wouldn’t have had to die, but she was dragged back by Scarface.

Scarface could have waited for Ye Yuhan to go out first before he went out, or he could have pushed her out, so that neither of them would have to die.

Immediately, everyone looked at Scarface, their gazes filled with disgust, and some even showed fear.

This Scarface actually attacked a fellow player?

Scarface, however, showed no remorse. He even watched the tragedy unfold inside the canteen without blinking, and when the fog finally obscured the view, he even let out a dissatisfied “Tsk. Boring.”

Others: “…”

Scarface’s attitude of watching the show made the others look at him even more coldly.

Was this even human?

Not only did he kill someone, but he also wanted to watch how they died?

Was there any humanity left?

The canteen entrance was crowded, not only with the remaining eight players but also with dozens of guest NPCs. Even those guest NPCs were looking at Scarface with mocking eyes, but they quickly looked away, indifferent.

Gu Lin, as an auspicious beast, not only could see in the dark but also had exceptional hearing.

Through the thick glass door, others couldn’t hear any sound from inside, but he could hear everything clearly.

The fog didn’t obstruct his vision, but from the moment the canteen doors closed, his vision had been filled with mosaics, entering a world of mosaics.

Now he could see piles of mosaics moving inside the canteen, accompanied by screams and the sound of chopping meat.

Gu Lin couldn’t fully understand the meaning of death, but he roughly knew what was happening inside. He squeezed the lollipop in his hand, then suddenly broke free from Lin Xingchi, running towards Scarface with his short little legs deng deng deng.

Lin Xingchi and Su Qiao were both surprised, not knowing what he wanted to do.

The others were also drawn to him. Seeing this cub, who was shorter than a person’s arm, everyone was stunned.

Two players had already died, and this cub had actually escaped death again?

What kind of lucky buff was this?

Scarface was tall and powerfully built, with a fierce appearance. Gu Lin, being so small, looked ridiculously tiny standing in front of him.

Everyone didn’t know what he wanted to do.

Even Scarface was stunned, looking down at the little cub in front of him.

He saw Gu Lin scrunch up his little face, stomp his little foot, and spit at Scarface, saying in a childishly fierce voice: “Big bad guy!”

If he weren’t afraid of kicking him to death, Gu Lin would have kicked him directly.

Everyone present: “…”

9527: …

Livestream: …

Wow, daring to act cute and fierce at the same time!!

Lin Xingchi and Su Qiao were shocked. Before Scarface could react, they quickly went forward and scooped Gu Lin back up.

After picking him up, the two of them blocked Gu Lin’s small body behind them, shielding him from Scarface’s now-cold gaze.

They knew that Gu Lin did this because that female player had kindly given him a lollipop.

As tensions were high, the Double-Cap Big Shot suddenly chuckled.

Hearing this one-third disdainful, one-third indifferent, and one-third half-dead cold laugh, everyone instantly perked up, hoping to hear the Big Shot say a few more words.

Scarface’s act of killing someone and then acting arrogant was really infuriating. They, adhering to the principle of “less trouble is better than more trouble,” didn’t dare to curse Scarface. Gu Lin, being young and unknowing, dared to charge forward. Everyone pinned their hopes on the Big Shot.

But the Big Shot just laughed once and then fell silent, not saying a single word.

Everyone realized belatedly that the Big Shot had simply been amused by the little baby.

Everyone: “…”

Li Nan was standing behind Scarface, carefully observing him for a long time. To be precise, he was observing his head.

He had just witnessed the whole process of the two-year-old cub…no, it might be a ghost doll, grabbing his hair.

Now, seeing that Scarface had a bald spot on the back of his head, about the size of the ghost doll’s little fist, completely bald with only scalp showing, and even faintly oozing blood, he became even more convinced that the cub was definitely a ghost doll!

Otherwise, how could he not only yank out someone’s hair but also dare to run up to him and yell at him?

Probably sensing the gaze from behind, Scarface suddenly turned around and glared at Li Nan.

“What are you looking at, idiot?”

Scarface’s scar on his face was ferocious and terrifying, making people not dare to look directly at him. With this glare, Li Nan immediately cowered like a quail, hugging his head and retreating.

And when Scarface turned around, more people behind him also saw the bald spot on the back of his head. He hadn’t been bald before, so how did he suddenly have a child’s fist-sized bald spot?

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Serves him right!

This Scarface, the scar on his face was very scary, but the bald spot on the back of his head was very funny.

But thinking of Scarface’s limitless viciousness, everyone quickly stifled their laughter.

Even the Double-Cap Big Shot cast a glance at him. Seeing the bald spot on the back of his head, his eyes flickered slightly.

Scarface, seeing everyone staring at his head and stifling laughter, realized something. He raised his hand and touched the faintly painful back of his head.

He couldn’t see it himself, but he only felt a small patch of scalp, no hair.

Scarface was stunned for a moment, then he touched it again carefully, finally confirming that he had a bald spot on his head.

Immediately, he glared fiercely at Lin Xingchi.

He didn’t know that it was Gu Lin who had yanked his hair and flipped him. Subconsciously, he didn’t even consider the little cub who could only eat. He thought it was Lin Xingchi.

Everyone else also looked at Lin Xingchi.

Lin Xingchi saw Scarface clutching the back of his head, his gaze vicious and cold as he looked at him. He looked down at the little dumpling being shielded behind him, knowing that he had to take the blame for this.

Seeing Scarface roll up his sleeves, about to rush forward, looking like he was ready to fight, Lin Xingchi took a step back: “Wait a minute.”

Scarface paused.

Lin Xingchi: “Do you want to be flipped over again?”

Scarface was momentarily stunned, then his expression turned even uglier: “Damn it, daring to sneak attack me from behind. Otherwise, how would I have fallen for your trick?”

Seeing Scarface about to charge forward again, Lin Xingchi also assumed a defensive posture.

For the matter of Scarface trying to trap him and the dumpling in the canteen to die, even if Scarface didn’t come looking for him, he wouldn’t let it go.

Just then, a group of people approached from not far away, interrupting their confrontation.

As soon as they saw this group, all the players’ attention was drawn to them.

Scarface also stopped, no longer charging towards Lin Xingchi. But he made a throat-slitting gesture at Lin Xingchi, indicating that this matter wasn’t over, and he should watch out.

Lin Xingchi’s expression also darkened. Leaving Scarface alive was a hidden danger. He didn’t know what he would do next.

The approaching group consisted of about seven or eight people.

Everyone immediately looked at their lower bodies. When they saw that they had normal human legs, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Having just experienced the dayi chopping up a mermaid, they all had a psychological aversion to those two halves of deformed fishtails.

These eight people were all young, between 20 and 30 years old. But without exception, they all had dark skin and ordinary appearances, just like the four NPCs the town mayor had brought to greet them, except that they weren’t as burly as those four NPCs, though they were still strong and sturdy.

Two of the young men, both around twenty-five years old and about 1.8 meters tall, walked towards the eight players.

The man walking in front had a smile on his face, and his attitude was very friendly: “Hello, my name is Yu Qing, and his name is Yu Rong. The town mayor instructed us to take you to the hotel.”

The man named Yu Rong just nodded coldly at the players, not speaking.

Hearing this, the players all remembered that the town mayor had said earlier that someone would take them to the hotel after half an hour.

They turned their heads and saw that the other guest NPCs were also being divided into groups of 8 to 10 people, each group led by two young men. It seemed they were also being taken to the hotel for accommodation.

The players nodded, following behind the two men named Yu Qing and Yu Rong, silently walking towards the hotel.

The four NPCs who had been guarding the canteen entrance didn’t all follow. Instead, the four of them each followed a different group. The one following the players was the tattooed man leading the pit bull.

Seeing that all the guests were being treated like “goods,” the players felt a little better, but they didn’t relax.

This town was strange in every way. The mermaids didn’t look like the mermaids in popular imagination, and the mermaids in the fog were different from their state after the fog dissipated.

Those dayi, when there was no fog, although their smiles were strange and creepy, their eyeballs still had normal black pupils. But after the fog rose, their eyeballs turned completely white, and their appearances also changed greatly, becoming more ferocious and terrifying.

This made everyone even more certain that the fog was indeed some kind of mechanism.

But what were the rules for this fog?

If it could rise at any time, then they could face unknown dangers at any time outside.

When there was fog, they couldn’t get close to the mermaids, let alone obtain the pearls formed from their tears. So, they could only find mermaids and obtain pearls when there was no fog.

But the mermaids without fog might not be easy to deal with either.

Song Ran, the player who had been in the game before, looked at the two men walking in front, leading the way, trying to get some information from them.

The mermaid town mayor looked like a boss-level character in the instance, with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, making people afraid to approach.

In comparison, these two men, especially the one named Yu Qing, looked much friendlier, seeming like supporting NPCs.

Song Ran carefully spoke: “Why are there so many mermaids in your town? And they all have split tails.”

Yu Rong didn’t speak, as if he hadn’t heard.

Yu Qing was indeed good-tempered. He smiled and said: “Since you are guests from afar, I’ll tell you a few things.”

Hearing him say this, everyone perked up, focusing their attention.

Yu Qing: “Our Mermaid Town made its fortune from mermaids.”

Seeing Yu Qing finish this dry sentence and stop, not continuing, the players waiting for him to say a few words were stunned for a moment.

Then what? That’s it?

The mermaid town mayor had already said this sentence before, word for word. This was just a pointless repetition.

Yu Qing saw no reaction from the people behind him, paused, and turned around to see six bewildered faces, plus a young and ignorant child looking around curiously, and a person with two hats whose face couldn’t be seen clearly.

Yu Qing: “…”

Players: “…”

Li Nan kindly reminded him, “The town mayor already said this before.”

He emphasized: “Exactly the same, not even a punctuation mark changed.”

Yu Qing: “…”

Probably not expecting the town mayor to talk to the guests about these things, Yu Qing was stunned for several seconds. Then he turned back around, quickly regaining his composure, and smiled again: “Then I’ll tell you something else.”

Hearing him say this, the players perked up again.

Yu Qing: “The kind of fish you saw with split tails is called a Split-Tail Mermaid. It’s a special kind of fish in our town. The reason their tails are like that is because they are discarded mermaids. It’s very pitiful.”

Players: “…”

Damn, are you the mermaid town mayor’s parrot?

The mermaid town mayor had also said these things.

And pitiful? Were the players who were sucked dry of their brains and chopped up with a knife not pitiful?

Yu Qing, seeing that the players still had no reaction after he finished speaking, turned around again and looked at them. This time he saw the indifferent expressions on the players’ faces.

Yu Qing was stunned again.

Li Nan was a straightforward person, and again kindly reminded him: “Um, the town mayor also said this before.”

Yu Qing: “…”

Yu Qing turned around, smiled, and shook his head: “Then I have nothing to tell you.”

Players: “…”

You’re really wasting people’s feelings.

It would have been better to let that cub say a few more “Mayor-yeye”s to get more information.
