"Humans, merfolk skin?" Amy's eyes widened.

Her mind whirled with countless terrible guesses, making the server's smile appear stiff and eerie.

Amy was in a state of disbelief: "I clearly remember there being protection regulations for non-humans in 'Starry Melody'..."

The staff member, seeing the girl truly frightened, chuckled: "Just a joke, I'm merely a hotel staff member. I wish you a pleasant time on the island."

After saying this, he noticed no one was looking and discreetly slipped an inconspicuous card into Amy's hand.

"If you're interested in the island's ghost house, feel free to visit my side job at the 'Mermaid Bathing Place.' The proprietress is hospitable, and the lads are strong. This card gives you a forty percent ticket discount."

Amy was flabbergasted, the card depicted a merfolk girl dressed scantily, casting flirtatious glances. Forget about advertising on her behalf, is this genuinely a proper ghost house?

When she snapped back to reality, the staff member had already returned to his position nonchalantly, whistling away.

Amy patted the sofa beneath her. Though his previous words lingered, they were merely a joke. She felt a slight aversion since she had never encountered merfolk skin before... Unintentionally, thoughts about the creation process of a merfolk sofa filled her mind, with gruesome images surfacing.

Since she entered the hotel, something felt strange; the fragrance in the lobby was overwhelmingly strong, as if used as an air freshener, seemingly masking some odor. Upon closer inspection, she could discern a fishy sea scent.

The shore was several kilometers away...

Lost in thought, twenty minutes flew by as the production team adjusted the cameras focused on the Explorer Team trio, while shadows occasionally moved in the hotel lobby's background, with few paying them any mind; for the staff and guests here, filming onsite was nothing remarkable.

The program officially started filming, and from the couch, two people reminded her, bringing Amy back to reality, reluctantly reciting her scripted lines:

"Hey everyone, welcome back! Our Explorer Team has arrived at the Spring of the Gods hotel. After dinner, we plan to head to Mermaid Town to start our exploration!"

Amy energetically raised her fist for encouragement.

"I've heard of the Paranormal Explorer Squad's fame before, but it's my first time joining the adventure. Please take care of me!"

John and Jin Zhenghan exchanged glances, with the latter speaking first:

"I'm the Explorer Team's captain, Jin Zhenghan. This mission is pressing, and we'll skip the induction ceremony and idle chatter. We must reinforce the loosening seal quickly."

Amy's expression shifted, becoming more serious: "A seal?"

"Yes, before arriving on the island, our professional team captured a mysterious audio recording."

Then Jin Zhenghan placed an old-fashioned radio on the table and played an audio snippet; it sounded like the call of a large marine creature, sometimes distant, sometimes near, sporadic fragments pieced together to vaguely reveal a tune.

"Is this... a whale's sound?" John asked.

Amy crossed her arms, appearing contemplative.

"No, this is the Siren King's song," Jin Zhenghan said, adjusting the radio frequencies to connect the intermittent song, no longer distant and obscure. Upon careful listening, it sounded like a woman whispering with a hoarse, low voice.

"I am... the Siren King... The tide... is coming."

"Indeed, not long ago, due to the Miracle Seal loosening, the Siren King awakened," Jin Zhenghan explained. "Our Explorer Team's goal is to strengthen the Miracle Seal, retrieve the lost anchor point, and soothe the troubled Siren King's mind, sending her consciousness back to the deep sea."

"So how should we reinforce the seal, calm the Siren King, and what exactly is that miracle?" John pondered briefly before asking.

[Starting right away with the plot, huh? Looks like this episode's challenge won't be easy.]

[Will the Siren King be related to the mermaids?]

[Miracle Seal, intriguing, getting more excited by the moment.]

Jin Zhenghan exhaled deeply:

"These are my questions as well. Fortunately, a mysterious contact with the codename 'Blue Iris' recently reached out to help with this exploration. I think we might learn more from her?"

John lifted his gaze: "A mysterious contact?"

Jin Zhenghan nodded and glanced to the side: "Yes, she's here now."

At that moment, the broadcast displayed 'Mystery Special Guest? Starry Singer, Daughter of the Sea?' catching the curiosity of all viewers.

[Not only a new member but also a mysterious guest this episode?]

[Gosh, Starry Singer, could it be?!]

[Reveal yourself! I can't wait any longer!]

A girl in a white dress emerged from the side, all eyes converging on her. The initial impression wasn't dazzling, perhaps due to her simple white dress and mysterious veil, or maybe it was her pure elegance that made her so appealing, carrying an invisible magic power that captivated everyone.

The screen's dark stripes revealed text introducing the girl.

——Sevia, mysterious contact, Starry Singer, Daughter of the Sea? Holds magic power, sufficient to soothe the Siren King's soul with a Soul-Soothing Lullaby?

"Is she the one willing to help us?" John asked sideways.

Amy blurted out: "Xin?"

Even with a veil, she would recognize her anywhere, even if she were completely covered.

Seeing the familiar Amy, Tang Xin's expression shifted slightly, eyes gently closed, hands clasped.

"May the sea bless you."

Amy stifled her laughter, wishing she could record this scene to replay it later in front of her, imagining her reaction would be quite amusing.

Tang Xin silently sat next to Amy, maintaining a smile while inwardly cursing a certain You.

As the veil was lifted, everyone and the audience behind the curtain saw her face, youthful and charming with lightly red lips and clear eyes like bending crescent moons, emanating a fresh and natural aura. The screen overflowed with comments, instantly covering the entire view.

[I knew it, it's really her! (Screaming, rolling, storming the streets, attacking randomly)]

[Cheering for Little Blue Bird, supporting Xin!]

[Goddess of Beauty descends, she's truly beautiful x9996.]

[Isn't this Little Blue Bird? It's been days since we've seen her, how did she end up guest-starring with the Paranormal Explorer? Haha.]

John and Jin Zhenghan found themselves spellbound by her, as did Amy, who felt her heart struck by cuteness.

Xia Xin, not seen for a few days, seemed even more beautiful; wealth does indeed nurture. The previously dull duckling had grown brilliant feathers, transforming into a beautiful swan.
