Bai Liu didn’t know about these discussions. His attention was quickly drawn to other things. He saw Jeff. Jeff had hidden under the stairs, talked to someone and then walked back.
Jeff had gone out sneakily in the middle of the night but now he was back. Bai Liu had a good angle of the stairs just now. He saw that the person behind Jeff was tall and dressed the same as the driver who brought them here today.
The two of them seemed to be discussing something in a low voice. Jeff also handed the driver many colorful things and added a few more words. If Bai Liu was right then Jeff should be giving the driver this world’s coins.

Bai Liu narrowed his eyes slightly. His hand reached into the collar and took out the square coin with the hole. He aimed it at the driver and the character information popped up on the panel.
[NPC: Driver]
[Character Profile: The driver who took you to Siren Town. The driver was hired by Jeff and is said to know the town well. He has a history of arson and robbery.]
Sure enough, the identity was also a character NPC.
Previously, Bai Liu and the driver had never been in direct contact. The driver was always sitting in the front seat driving and Bai Liu was in the back row. It was impossible to see the driver. The driver hadn’t gotten off the car so Bai Liu had never seen him. This meant he couldn’t identify the driver’s personal information.
He hadn’t felt anything previously but now Bai Liu came back to his senses and found that Jeff had been intentionally or unintentionally blocking the contact between Bai Liu and the driver. For example, he chose to sit between Bai Liu and the driver and he screamed when getting out of the vehicle…
Why did these two men need to hide their plot?
Regarding this plot, based on the currently known information, Bai Liu guessed that Jeff had hired the driver to do something for him related to the criminal history. This matter was currently unknown but Bai Liu thought it was likely to be revenge against Andre.
When entering the town, the driver said that many people here had no source of income for a while so they should be careful. Previously, Bai Liu thought it was a type of reminder but now it seemed like a proud and arrogant warning. He was warning Jeff that without his cooperation and protection, Jeff would be easily hurt by the other townspeople.
Of course, he was a citizen of Siren Town and he was also very short of money. It was possible that he would do something to rob the group because of a lack of money.
The driver probably did many things to get people’s money and belongings. He didn’t seem a good sort and was obviously crazy about money. The moment he entered Siren Town, he threatened them in a hidden manner. It was no wonder why Jeff couldn’t sleep and came down to give money to the driver. It wasn’t known what the driver would do if he didn’t get the money in time.
Bai Liu returned to the room before Jeff saw him and helped close Jeff’s open door. Jeff hesitated for a moment as he was passing by Andre’s room. Then a black object was placed down in front. Bai Liu used the peephole to see that Jeff put down something similar to a large piece of fish.
Bai Liu soon saw gloomy, white merfolk statues gathered in front of Andre’s door. There were a series of dull creaking movements as the statues moved through the corridor again.
To be safe, Bai Liu covered the peephole of his room with white cloth to prevent a merfolk’s snooping. He also placed a cabinet against the door, hoping the sound would wake him up if someone broke in.
His physical strength had been emptied. After doing all this, Bai Liu lay on the bed and closed his eyes. It was a night without dreams.
The next day, Bai Liu woke up and found that the closet door and room door were closed, but the bathroom door was about to be opened.
Bai Liu opened the bathroom and took a look. He found that the merfolk statues inside that had been covered and tied had broken free of the white cloth. They overlapped each other in various twisted and weird postures as they moved toward the bathroom door. Some of the merfolk statues had reached the door handle of the bathroom and were only one step away from opening it.
The postures of these merfolk statues reminded Bai Liu of the 123 Statues game he played. He would turn around suddenly and saw that the people behind him couldn’t control their expressions and gestures. He thought it was funny at the time but now looking at these gloomy white statues trying to come out the door, Bai Liu couldn’t laugh at all.
The human-like marble statues were stacked in this way and it made the pressure on him stronger. Their eyes were staring at Bai Liu in such a small space and it made him uncomfortable. Normal people would feel uncomfortable when looked at by the eyes of so many non-living things.
