Chapter 2839 Li Daitao is stiff

In the car, Li Xiaohai told me everything that happened to the mermaids in the North Sea.

What he said was similar to what Tang Shangning told me, but it was more detailed. According to what Li Xiaohai said, there were more than one mermaid in the sea, and one of them must have become a powerful force. These mermaids not only attacked fishermen who went out to sea, but also ran to the shore some time ago and attacked villagers, killing several children. Their attacks were extremely cruel.

What made Li Xiaohai depressed was that after such a long time, they didn't even see the shadow of the mermaid.

Li Xiaohai once took a dozen people out to sea to search for the traces of mermaids, but they almost never returned. Those mermaids could control the big fish in the sea to attack the ship, which was really a headache.

After hearing what Li Xiaohai said, I realized why Tang Shangning came to me. We are really a perfect match for each other in terms of profession.

The Ziba and Gongfu on my body are both water-attributed divine beasts, and they can also control all kinds of big fish in the sea. If I go into the sea, those mermaids will not pose much threat to me.

Li Xiaohai and I chatted all the way, and when it was almost dark, we arrived at the small fishing village where the accident happened.

A few days ago, those mermaids came out of the water and attacked the villagers of this fishing village. Now the special task force has evacuated all the people in the village and set up an office in the village.

As soon as he arrived at the place, Liu Xiangdong called all the members of the special task force to a meeting to discuss countermeasures against the mermaids.

When Xiaopang heard about the meeting, he didn't go. He and I are the kind of people who easily fall asleep in meetings.

I had nothing to do, so I took out some food and drinks from the Dragon-Tiger Mirror and filled my stomach first.

While eating and drinking, I was thinking about how to deal with this mermaid incident.

I never follow the routine when doing things. I naturally have my own plans.

After Xiaopang and I had eaten and drunk our fill, the group of people came out after the meeting. They ate a simple meal and began to prepare to go out to sea.

Liu Xiangdong planned to take all the special task force members to look for the mermaid under the cover of night.

I really want to call him an idiot.

It was a dark and windy night, and we were at sea. Going out to sea to look for mermaids late at night, wasn't that obviously asking for death?

Li Xiaohai quickly found me and asked me if I wanted to go out to sea with them to look for mermaids.

I said I would not go, and asked Li Xiaohai to leave two people here for me, as I had other needs.

As the head of the local special investigation team, Li Xiaohai must follow Liu Xiangdong's arrangements and go out to sea with him.

However, he still left two people for me, one with the surname Zhang and the other Zhou. They are about the same age as me, but their cultivation is average.

It would be useful for me to leave two people behind, because next I will start to deal with the mermaids according to my own plan.

Xiao Zhang and Xiao Zhou naturally knew my identity. I was the leader of the special task force from Yanbei, so they respected me very much.

I called them both over and asked them to do something.

Because the mermaids had come ashore and attacked the villagers before, everyone in the village temporarily moved away, but the place they moved to was not far away, just to several neighboring villages.

I have analyzed it before, the reason why these mermaids attacked humans was because fishermen from a fishing boat had killed a mermaid before. That mermaid had some status in the mermaid community and was most likely the child of the mermaid king.

Therefore, the Mermaid King ordered the mermaids to attack the nearby fishermen.

The main targets are children.

I asked Xiao Zhang and Xiao Zhou to help me find a few children from the villages ahead, ask their families for their birth dates, and give each of them a set of their usual clothes. At the same time, I asked them to go to a nearby town to buy some paper figurines.

Although Xiao Zhang and Xiao Zhou didn't know what I was going to do, they still did what I told them to do.

About two hours later, the two of them brought over everything I needed.

The two of them bought a total of seven paper figures, all of which were in the shape of children.

I asked them to put the clothes of the children who were coming from the village on the paper figures, and re-write the birth dates of the children on yellow paper talismans and stick them on the backs of the paper figures. In this way, when viewed from a distance, these paper figures wearing clothes looked like living children.

The method I used was the technique of substituting a dead person for a dead one. I used the birth dates of the children in the village, injected vitality into these children, and placed them in a yard.

Those mermaids deliberately targeted children, so I made a few dummies and placed them in the yard to attract the mermaids.

In the eyes of those mermaids, the paper figures I modified were no different from living children.

The way I deal with those mermaids is like fishing, and the bait is these mermaids.

Liu Xiangdong taking people out to sea to find those mermaids is the worst and stupidest way. In that vast ocean, no one knows where the mermaids are hiding. Even if they find the mermaids' lair, it will be very difficult to deal with them.

Mermaids are aquatic creatures and are many times stronger than humans in the water. It is not realistic to go into the sea to deal with them. We must lure them out of the sea and then slowly deal with them.

A true Lao Liu must choose the easiest way to solve the problem.

After I asked Xiao Zhang and Xiao Zhou to pack up the paper figures, a few of us climbed onto the roof and waited quietly to see when the mermaid would take the bait.

Seeing what I did, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Zhou were very impressed.

"Team Leader Wu, you are so smart. This is a great idea. Why didn't we think of it?" Xiao Zhang said excitedly.

"Yes, Team Leader Wu, you are indeed a master from Yanbei." Xiao Zhou also followed suit to flatter him.

I felt secretly proud of myself. It felt really good to be flattered by others.

Xiaopang was also a little proud: "That's right, Xiaojie is my childhood friend, but he is not as good as me in study."

There were not many people where we were. Almost all the members of the special task force had followed Liu Xiangdong out to sea, leaving only four of us here.

I'm not sure whether those mermaids will come, so I can only wait patiently.

Afterwards, I released the charm spirit to observe the situation at the beach. If any mermaid appeared, she could notify me in time.

Time passed minute by minute, and I was lying on the roof eating melon seeds and almost falling asleep when suddenly, the spirit sent me a message saying that something had appeared and was approaching the village where we were.

When I heard Mei Ling's words, I immediately became alert and quickly asked them to be on guard.
