Song Ran said, “What’s your gege‘s name?”

He just asked casually, not really wanting to know.

Who knew, when he asked this question, Gu Lin frowned, looking puzzled: “That’s right, what’s gege‘s name?”

Others: “…”

Holy crap, is that fake?!

After thinking for a while, Gu Lin finally remembered and said, “Gege is just gege.”

Others: “…………”

He didn’t add a prefix before gege, was it not because of making distinctions, but because this little cub didn’t even know his gege‘s name, so he didn’t add one?

Everyone was silent.

At this time, the Double-Cap Big Shot looked out the window, his voice deep, saying, “It’s getting foggy again.”

Hearing this, everyone else looked out the window.

Through the glass window, everyone saw that it was indeed getting foggy outside.

The fog was wispy, spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And with the spread of the fog, the outside also became completely silent, so quiet that not even a single sound could be heard.

Looking at the fog outside, everyone’s faces became serious.

They all thought of the dense mass of mermaids in the thick fog.

Before leaving, the mermaid town mayor had warned them that after the fog rose, they should stay in their respective rooms and not wander around.

–

Everyone else returned to their rooms. Room 44 was left with only Gu Lin and Lin Xingchi.

Lin Xingchi saw that the curtains were wide open, so he walked to the window to close them.

The sky outside had darkened. It was not yet three o’clock in the afternoon, but outside it already looked like evening.

Through the window, the street could be seen, pitch black, with buildings and trees dimly visible, shrouded in a layer of shadow.

Lin Xingchi was about to close the curtains when, through the window, he saw the hotel entrance.

The front desk jiejie was moving her two-part fishtail awkwardly, moving to the outside window. Then she bent down, picked up one of the scarred man’s legs, and dragged him into the hotel.

Dragging him to the hotel entrance, the jiejie suddenly paused, then suddenly looked up, looking directly at Lin Xingchi in the room on the second floor, through the glass window.

Lin Xingchi: “…”

Lin Xingchi jumped in fright, immediately dodging away. His heart almost jumped out of his throat.

After calming down for a while, he moved his gaze back. But the hotel entrance was already empty, with no sign of the jiejie or the scarred man.

Lin Xingchi breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to close the curtains again. At this time, Gu Lin called him from behind: “Dagege.”

Lin Xingchi paused, turning around. He saw Gu Lin sitting cross-legged on the bed, holding a lollipop in his hand, pointing behind him with the other little finger: “Yuyu.”

Lin Xingchi: “…”

Lin Xingchi instinctively turned around, suddenly coming face to face with a pale, disheveled face.

A mermaid was lying prone on the glass window, its head and face half-hidden in the thick black fog, its eyeballs completely white, staring straight at the prey in front of it.

“Crash—”

Lin Xingchi reacted quickly and pulled the curtains closed, blocking the mermaid’s gaze.

Mermaid: ?

–

Lin Xingchi reacted quickly, but he was still quite frightened.

He walked to the bed and sat down, his forehead covered in cold sweat, his face slightly pale.

Gu Lin patted him with his little hand, his mental fortitude quite good, comforting dagege instead: “Dagege, don’t be afraid.”

Lin Xingchi thought of the scarred man just now, and then remembered Gu Lin yanking the scarred man’s hair and kicking him flying.

The dumpling was small, but he wasn’t timid, and his strength was even less timid.

He picked up Gu Lin’s little hand and weighed it in his hand. The chubby little hand was very tiny.

He also looked at Gu Lin’s little feet, extending his hand to measure them. They weren’t even half a span long.

Gu Lin, seeing dagege‘s strange behavior, also stretched out his little hand and measured his own little feet.

Lin Xingchi chuckled: “Dumpling, how are you so strong?”

Gu Lin, an honest little cub, didn’t hide it: “Cub has natural divine strength.”

Ruishou all have natural divine strength. Gege‘s strength was even greater than his. He could only yank off one scarred man’s hair at a time, gege could yank off a large handful.

The little cub couldn’t count yet and couldn’t say a specific number. He only knew that a large handful meant a lot.

Gu Lin knew that natural divine strength was something worth showing off. Usually, he didn’t have the opportunity to demonstrate it. Seizing the opportunity, he immediately began to demonstrate his specialty.

He raised his little hand and made a grabbing motion in the air, saying, “Yanking hair!”

He then raised his little foot and made a kicking motion in the air, saying, “Kicking flying!”

Lin Xingchi: “…”

This really had the suspicion of acting cute!

The aunties in the livestream chat were almost dying of cuteness, wishing they could go into the game and hug, kiss, and lift the little cub high.

Lin Xingchi had guessed that Gu Lin was a baby with natural divine strength, but to avoid misunderstandings, he still couldn’t let others know.

In the horror world, what if he was really mistaken for a ghost baby?

He solemnly instructed Gu Lin: “Dumpling, let’s not tell anyone about this for now, just the two of us know.”

The Double-Cap Big Shot probably also knew, but the Big Shot was very solitary and probably wouldn’t tell anyone.

Gu Lin tilted his head: “Can’t we tell jiejie either?”

Lin Xingchi thought for a moment: “Dagege will find a chance to tell her later. For now, let’s just treat it as a secret between the two of us.”

Hearing “secret,” Gu Lin raised a short little finger: “Shh.”

Lin Xingchi also smiled and raised his finger: “Shh.”

–

The sky outside had completely darkened, as if it were deep into the night.

Under the influence of the sleeping pills, the players quickly fell asleep again.

Gu Lin had eaten at the hospital at noon, and hadn’t eaten the food with sleeping pills. After Lin Xingchi fell asleep on the other bed, he still obediently lay on his own bed, playing by himself for a while.

While playing, the little cub fell asleep on his own.

He didn’t know how long he had been asleep, but Gu Lin was awakened by a shrill scream from downstairs.

Gu Lin was so startled that his little body trembled. He immediately got up from the bed, and even turned around in a circle.

The little cub looked confused, looking at the dark room, his expression dazed, as if he wasn’t fully awake.

Before going to sleep, the lights in the room had not been turned off, but now, the room was pitch black, and outside was even darker and quieter, not even a trace of light penetrating.

But the darkness couldn’t hinder Gu Lin’s vision. He looked at Lin Xingchi on the adjacent bed.

Despite the scream downstairs, Lin Xingchi seemed oblivious, still sleeping soundly.

Not just Lin Xingchi, except for Gu Lin, all the other players were asleep.

Gu Lin couldn’t sleep because of the noise. He sat on the bed for a while, then tululu slid off the bed and walked towards the door.

9527 and the aunties in the livestream chat were watching the little cub sleep. Now, seeing the little cub wake up again while the other players were asleep, they were all sweating.

Gu Lin walked to the door, repeated his previous actions, opened the door, and walked out.

Unlike the room, the outside was already filled with black fog, and the entire hotel was shrouded in thick fog.

Gu Lin wasn’t afraid at all. He seemed to be in a trance-like state, walking through the wooden corridor, then stumbling down the stairs, all the way to the first floor of the hotel.

–

On the first floor of the hotel, Scarface was constantly letting out shrill screams.

He had been unconscious for most of the day, finally woken up by the excruciating pain. When he woke up, he found a Split-Tail Mermaid squatting in front of him.

Before he was kicked flying, he didn’t know that the front desk jiejie was a Split-Tail Mermaid. He carefully distinguished for a long time, before realizing that the mermaid in front of him was actually that stiff-faced but sweet-looking jiejie.

He shifted his gaze down, looking at where the intense pain was coming from.

Then he was horrified to discover that the front desk jiejie was using a needle and thread to sew his two legs together, stitch by stitch.

The needle and thread pierced through skin and flesh. The intense pain made Scarface scream like a slaughtered pig.

The jiejie‘s smile was strange and exaggerated. Her movements were extremely skilled, her fingers flying up and down. While sewing Scarface’s legs, she hummed softly: “Fish skewer, skewer fish, sew the fishtails to become a mermaid.”

She repeatedly hummed these two lines of the song. Her sweet voice, at this moment, was bone-chilling, sending shivers down one’s spine.

The screams and the sweet singing simultaneously echoed in the desolate hotel in the dead of night, accompanied by the increasingly dense “swish, swish” sound of fishtails outside the hotel.

The public livestream chat, the number of viewers increasing, were all watching this leg-sewing feast.

Until a small hand gently patted the jiejie‘s shoulder, and a childish voice sounded abruptly: “Jiejie…”

The jiejie‘s movements paused, and the singing stopped abruptly.

Then, her neck twisted a full one hundred and eighty degrees, making the sound of bones cracking. Her white eyeballs, covered in fish eggs, stared straight at the soft and cute cub behind her.

Gu Lin wasn’t wearing shoes, so his footsteps were light. The sound of his footsteps had been covered by other sounds. He had walked all the way behind the jiejie, and if he hadn’t patted her, she wouldn’t have noticed.

In Gu Lin’s eyes, the jiejie and Scarface were covered in mosaics.

Seeing Gu Lin, Scarface, regardless of having wanted to kill this cub earlier, immediately shouted uncontrollably.

The jiejie punched him in the face, knocking him unconscious, stopping his cries for help.

After knocking the person unconscious, the jiejie straightened her hair, and even revealed a sweet smile, looking at Gu Lin.

But her current appearance was not at all sweet, but rather terrifying to the extreme.

Gu Lin yawned, saying pitifully: “Jiejie, you’re so noisy. You woke me up. I can’t shuijiao because of the noise.”

Jiejie: “…”

Staying in the room, it was impossible to hear sounds from outside the room. Why was this little cub woken up by the noise?

The jiejie was only stunned for a second. She didn’t dwell on why Gu Lin had been woken up. She picked up the needle and thread in her hand and, swish swish, sewed Scarface’s mouth shut.

Scarface was woken up again by the pain, but his mouth was sewn shut, and he could only make muffled wuwuwu sounds, unable to utter complete words.

The jiejie grinned: “Now you won’t disturb him anymore.”

There were several ugly mermaids lying prone on the hotel windows, and the street outside was also completely crowded with mermaids.

But Gu Lin wasn’t afraid at all. He said in a childish voice, ” Jiejie, I don’t want to listen to that lullaby from earlier. Can I listen to ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’?”

Jiejie: “…”

Jiejie: ???

Lullaby? Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?

Do I look like I’m lulling you to sleep?
