Chapter 24
Gu Wuji suddenly felt a burst of chill in his heart.
The intense gaze coming from outside the window, made him feel like there was no place to hide, as if all of him was laid bare in the pair of eyes of that mysterious existence.
Gu Wuji lifted the quilt open, then slowly walked to the edge of the window, looking outside, it was now very early in the morning, the sky had still not yet brightened, the illumination from the hull itself illuminated a part of the sea, but the underneath it was still an unfathomable pitch-black darkness.
However, he was very clear in what kind of terrible existence was actually hidden underneath this piece of darkness. Which was far more terrible than those dead bodies.
“Is this really just an common copy?”
Gu Wuji couldn"t help but produce this kind of thought.
Just at this time, Gu Wuji suddenly heard the sounds of rushing footsteps, it was very easy to notice that it came from next door, that is in that room where Zheng-ge and the others were resting in.
He proceeded to listen with rapt attention, following that there were still a few words of spoken sentences which could be heard from next door, as if fearing that the noises would be too loud to be noticed by others, the footstep sounds then became much more lighter, as well as the sound of a closing door.
“What were they doing this late? Had ghosts been encountered?” Gu Wuji contemplated, “Wrong, shouting for help or running quickly to escape would certainly be done if ghosts had been encountered, it"s impossible to purposefully lower their voices, this approach was like fearing in being discovered by someone.”
“They must have certainly been acting in accordance to the clues they had gotten.” Jiang Ling"s voice suddenly sounded, “Maybe they want to go and leave us by ourselves.”
“When did you wake up?” Gu Wuji turned his head with some suspicion.
“When you woke up.” Jiang Ling gave a general explanation, “After all, in this kind of copy"s world where one wouldn"t know when their death will be, who can easily sleep so soundly? I woke up upon hearing the sounds of movement.”
Gu Wuji nodded his head, and was very understanding to the words of Jiang Ling, although he himself would firmly fall sleep every time his head hits the pillow……
“The att.i.tude of Zheng-ge and the others had already very strange since before, and was also extremely averse towards us, as if they were afraid of us discovering what secret they were hiding, according to this reason, even if it was to maintain vigilance, it also shouldn"t be this resistant in cooperating with other people. ” Jiang Ling stated: “In that case, maybe what they had gotten were key clues, having sufficient a.s.surance for their own departure, only fearing that we will mess up their matters, which had always been hidden.”
Jiang Ling did not have any good impression towards Zheng-ge and the others at all, a sneering sound was even issued after having spoken this much.
“They think that having their own clues is a guarantee, but in no way is this ship that simple……perhaps when they will run into trouble this time, even their life may not be guaranteed.”
“Let"s catch up to see.” Gu Wuji hurriedly opened.
Jiang Ling did not oppose, after all, the clues in the hands of Zheng-ge and the others might really be a very significant thing, otherwise letting those guys die will be more in line with his thoughts.
The two people then opened the door, the figures of Zheng-ge and the others had already disappeared to somewhere, even a little bit of movement could not be heard.
“How can they be this fast?” Jiang Ling frowned, then suddenly realized something, “Wrong, there"s a problem in this corridor here.”
The corridor was not this long during the day, but nevertheless it had extended a lot at this moment, the walls were also very damp, all the surrounding lights were dim as if the electric supply was insufficient, there were even the sounds of water dripping that came from some unknown place.
It was strange to say that there were no ghosts, but was also unaware whether Zheng-ge and the others were also trapped here.
“Let"s go.” Gu Wuji immediately took a big step forward.
Jiang Ling seeing Gu Wuji this calm and collected, slightly calmed his mind, and also went out together. He still had great confidence towards Gu Wuji, the other party was a person that had directly s.n.a.t.c.hed a prop from a ghost possession, ah.
Moreover, Jiang Ling was very clear, in several cases when dangers were encountered in the copy, escaping was one of the most terrible choices, only by forcing oneself to face it can more clues be gained, although the danger is increased, but at the same time, the profit which can be gained will also be increased.
Jiang Ling then asked: “What should we do now?”
“Just head to the place where the sound is coming from.” Gu Wuji quickly made a decision.
The two people walked along the corridor, all along the way, a spectating line coming from the peepholes of the doors around made people feel uncomfortable, as if there was someone inside that had been fixedly paying attention to them.
Jiang Ling after noticing this point practically felt a chill all over his body, and forced himself to not glance at the side.
After turning through a corner, the source of the sound suddenly appeared before them.
Which was from that middle-aged man whose entire clothes were dripping wet, he was rigidly standing in front the door at this moment, the face appeared pale under the dim light, the eyeb.a.l.l.s were practically hanging out from the eye sockets.
“I didn"t expect to see you again.”
Jiang Ling instantly realized, this person was exactly that ghost which wanted to shake Auston"s hand in the banquet before, nevertheless, the problem was finally resolved with Gu Wuji stepping forward, but now it seems that it was going to be a problem.
Gu Wuji looked down towards the the other party"s hand which he shaken before, it was not known when the clothes sleeves had already been dampened by water, is addition to this, the water stains on the clothes was continually spreading in a slow motion.
The middle-aged man looked towards Gu Wuji, revealing a delighted smile, seeing it made people feel a sense of uneasiness, that pair of eyeb.a.l.l.s bulged out even more, the next moment, one of the eyeball had unexpectedly fallen down, then with a touch of blood rolled in front of Gu Wuji"s shoes like this.
“Can you help me?” the hoa.r.s.e voice of the middle-aged man sounded.
“Help you with what?” Gu Wuji actually seemed to be generally confused by this ghost, and subconsciously started to speak.
Jiang Ling"s cold sweat had already fallen down, wanting to pull Gu Wuji at once, when confronting this type of ghost, if the other party"s ideas were followed, it would absolutely only lead to death! Gu Wuji shouldn"t face this kind of person, ah……wait, he seems to have really faced this kind of person before.
“My eyeball had fallen, you just have to help me pick it up.” the voice of the middle-aged man carried an insincere tone, “I will absolutely repay you properly.”
“Sure, no problem.” Gu Wuji being this kind of good person had naturally replied quickly, saying so stooped over to pick up that eyeball.
“Wait, you mustn"t be this impulsive--” Jiang Ling anxiously looked at the eyeball on the floor, half of the words he was going to say was stuck in his throat……he stared at that eyeball, with a piece of blank look, and thought that what Gu Wuji was going to do right now was just a very normal matter, for what reason did he just want to remind the other party for?
The middle-aged man having seen this kind of scene, the ecstasy in the only remaining eyeball had an even more hidden slight rancor.
After Gu Wuji picked the eyeball up, the voice of the middle-aged man became even more illusory, “Alright, thank you very much……but I don"t need this eyeball anymore, so I"ll just give it to you.”
Gu Wuji hearing his words, seemed to be befuddled, raising this eyeball, and fixedly stared at it.
The middle-aged man could practically see it already, the scene of this living person soon taking out his own eyeball, then afterwards place this stiff eyeball into the eye socket--
Gu Wuji then shook his head, extended the hand holding the eyeball and sticking the eyeball directly inside the eye socket of the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged male ghost: “??”
“Although I appreciate your feelings very much.” Gu Wuji politely said, “But there"s no need since my eyes are still good, I feel that you must certainly need it more, no thank you is needed.”
The ghost was confused by this sort of matter, which was considered as a common occurrence to Gu Wuji, and was practically like that kind of spam sent in the cellphone from scammers, so deceiving him wasn"t really that simple.
The middle-aged male ghost had just been able to finally react to what had happened, and immediately grabbed his eyeball in panic, but without delay, the eyeball that had been placed in his eye socket immediately began to be filled with blood, that almost directly split open the eye socket.
It could obviously be imagined what would have actually happened to a confused person if this eyeball had been placed in his own face.
The male ghost that had been duped immediately showed a very painful expression, the eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with resentment and anger looked towards Gu Wuji, then opened his mouth to try take a bite out of him.
Gu Wuji in a flash had pulled Jiang Ling to the side, while avoiding the attack of the male ghost. Jiang Ling had only been able to react to what had just happened after receiving a stimulation.
“Dammit, we have to escape quickly.” Cold sweat came down from Jiang Ling"s face, as the words were quickly spoken: “This ghost"s eyeball is probably able to produce some kind of illusion, it seems to have lost it"s effect now……we should run away now……”
When he had said this, he suddenly recalled how the eyes of this male ghost lost it"s effect, the following words actually couldn"t be said!
In the middle of Jiang Ling"s words, the male ghost had once again rushed to the direction of Gu Wuji, with an att.i.tude that was practically bent on directly buckling Gu Wuji"s eyeball out.
But in the next moment, because of that eyeball had started to swell once again, which brought forth sharp pains and an uncomfortable feeling that made frightening blue veins appear on the male ghost"s face, his body had a burst of rigidness under this unbearable pain.
Jiang Ling immediately understood in a glance, that this was a good opportunity for them to escape!
The angered male ghost with a voice full of malice sounded from behind, “Don"t think you can run away! I will never let you get away! As long as you are still aboard this ship, you will--”
“Who said we were going to run away?”
Gu Wuji"s voice sounded, he then took advantage of the time when the body of the male ghost was still rigid, seizing this opportunity to pin the male ghost on the ground, his strength had unexpectedly been able to temporarily restrain this male ghost so that it won"t be able to get up to a certain extent, and could only struggle on the ground.
The stunned Jiang Ling, “……”
Male ghost: “??”
Soon after, Gu Wuji then took out that bloodstained rope which he had with him in a thoughtless and orderly manner.
With regards to that hanged ghost before, losing this rope meant losing more than half of it"s strength, but the middle-aged male ghost after seeing this rope before him, had actually been shock until his entire body trembled with fear, then hastily changed his att.i.tude, “You, no, dage, don"t be impulsive, I"m begging you, I was only unable to get over it so you mustn"t take that kind of action, don"t use this kind of thing on me--”
Gu Wuji had originally thought of only using this rope to tie him up and nothing more, but seeing the look of this middle-aged male ghost at the moment, he even felt that he discovered another use of this rope, and immediately tied him up.
[You triggered the use of the prop ‘blood stained rope".]
[The ‘blood stained rope" is able to restrain ghosts whose strength is below a certain level, the strong resentment left behind will make the low-level ghosts subconsciously fearful. However, it cannot be used for a long time, or the prop will be countered.]
After the middle-aged male ghost had been bound, the whole individual became dispirited, which made Jiang Ling suspect that the horrible appearance of that evil spirit that he had previously witnessed was also an illusion made by the eyes.
“I also didn"t want to do this at first, it"s just that you forced me like that.” Gu Wuji heaved a sigh, the face was full of regrets, “If possible, I had also wanted to properly get along with you.”
The middle-aged male ghost felt miserable in his heart, this fellow wanting to get along, clearly makes this person more insane than a ghost, but could only repeatedly nod under the rope"s pressure, in an extremely submissive manner, “What you said is really correct, I was really too much, doing those things is much worse than an animal, wanting to actually terrorize a living person, I must have been really insane!”
Jiang Ling couldn"t help but be speechless, it was still his first time seeing this kind of ghost that did not have a bit of moral integrity, ah!
It would be better to say, that in other copies they would only be preyed and killed by ghosts, where could there be the time to see the other aspect of the ghosts? But after following Gu Wuji"s side……
“Alright, right now, I only want you to help me do something trivial, as long as you"re able to accomplish it, I will allow you to leave.” Gu Wuji was also very disinclined to speak superfluous words with him.
“Of course it"s okay.” The middle-aged male ghost repeatedly nodded his head, his eyes completely showed his delight, thinking that he would wait for this fellow to release him before finding a way to deal with them.
“Have you noticed what happened to the 3 people who left the cabin before us?” Gu Wuji was asking about the matter of Zheng-ge and the others.
“Those 3 people ah, I originally wanted to start with them, but because of the mark I left on you-……in dage"s body, so I decided to deal with them later, allowing them to leave for the time being.” The middle-aged male ghost replied.
“Take us to where they are.” Gu Wuji said.
Middle-aged male ghost: “But, I"m also unfamiliar with them……”
“You are a ghost, ah, don"t tell me you are unable to do this kind of thing?” Gu Wuji expression seemed to have some disappointment, “In this case, I don"t think there would also be any reason to release you, ah, plus you seem to be mentally unstable, letting you off might also harm the other ordinary ghosts, wouldn"t it better to just throw you into the sea?”
“No, of course I can!” The middle-aged ghost hearing that word made him frightened, and quickly started talking, “Even if I didn"t leave a mark on their body, but because they pa.s.sed through this corridor, they would also be tainted with my yin, I should still be able to perceive their general whereabouts now!”
Gu Wuji ascertained, and felt that his previous guess was really correct, these ghosts were truly afraid of the sea, was it also because of that existence in the bottom of the sea?
“Okay, that"s right, it should also be convenient for you to let me know about the matters on this ship, tell me as much as you know, I will certainly not make things difficult for you.” Gu Wuji stated, “Of course, if your words are deceitful, and I have discovered it, don"t think you would be lucky.”
“Y-yes, how would I dare to deceive you dage?!”
For some unknown reason, Jiang Ling actually produced a kind of illusion that Gu Wuji seemed to be intimidating this ghost, no, this must just be him thinking too much.
……
On the pitch black deck of the boat.
Zheng-ge together with his 2 comrades were moving forward very carefully, for fear of attracting the attention of the other nearby ghosts, giving themselves trouble, as they had no more than two life saving props.
Each of them carried a backpack, the inside was filled with food and drinks that were garnered from aboard the ship, without any intention of heading back at all.
“Zheng-ge, is it really okay for us to secretly come here by ourselves?” the woman in their side couldn"t help but speak, “Those 2 players seemed to be very reliable, I feel kind of bad acting like this.”
“There"s nothing wrong.” Even though Zheng-ge himself had some guilty conscience, but he still resolutely stated, “There must always be someone who have to be sacrificed inside a copy, not knowing the clues themselves, getting killed shouldn"t also be a surprise to us.”
He once again lowered his head to look on the map in his hands, this was surprisingly the structural blueprint of the cruise ship, which clearly indicates the whereabouts of the lifeboats.
There was also a newspaper clipping with a missing corner, printed on it was the detailed report of the cruise ship"s accident. Even though there was no specific time period on this, but judging from the familiar faces on the photographs and the list of deaths, this was shockingly the exact events that would later take place on this cruise ship.
They also sacrificed a lot of points this time, just to obtain such detailed clues of this place from another person.
“You have also seen that newspaper clipping, this ship will definitely encounter an accident tomorrow night, only those who luckily got on the lifeboat before the accident survived, the rest of the people who had been left behind have completely disappeared! We must now hurry to find a lifeboat, and find a good opportunity to leave on it.”
The other two who were listening to Zheng-ge"s words, immediately remembered the time during the banquet conducted aboard this ship before, and how extremely terrible those dead bodies that appeared outside the storm, chills immediately ran all over their bodies, as they no longer dared to say anything more.
At any rate, they could no longer dare to continue staying aboard this cruise ship anymore.
The lifeboats are usually placed on the most conspicuous spot on the ship, but this ship was completely different, it was exactly as if the mere thought of letting the people aboard survive was not even considered, as it was hidden in the most concealed area, so much that there would simply be no tourists who would come over this side.
If this had not been indicated in the map, even if Zheng-ge and the others had that newspaper clipping, finding the lifeboats would have certainly been impossible.
Zheng-ge and the others used the flashlight function of the mobile phone as lighting, each and every movement were cautious and apprehensive.
Finally reaching the destination, and seeing the lifeboats hanging outside the ship"s hull, made them breath a sigh of relief, then immediately stopped to take a rest at this side.
“But, since a major event is going to happen on this ship, can we really leave with just a lifeboat? The mainline task has also not yet been completed, ah.” the woman nevertheless still had some concerns.
“I don"t see it as a big deal. Anyway, aren"t there still two people? As time goes on, these ghosts will become more and more stronger, they would certainly be able to finish the mainline task.” Zheng-ge reasoned: “In that moment, we will seize the chance to leave as soon as possible.”
Even though he said it like this, but his thought"s couldn"t help but also be quite uncertain, this great pressure made Zheng-ge couldn"t refrain from wanting to smoke a cigarette to calm down, and immediately prodded the arm of that man on his right, “Take out a cigarette for me to draw.”
But the other party did not have any movements for quite some time, which couldn"t help but make Zheng-ge even more anxious, that he nearly let out a rain of curses, “It will certainly be alright, what are you so worried about! ”
“Zheng-ge, who are talking to?” The woman"s voice sounded somewhat frightened.
Startling Zheng-ge, turning his head, he actually saw his male and female teammate standing at some distance while looking behind him with a frightened expression, his body suddenly went rigid.
If that teammate never came over, who in the end was beside him?
Zheng-ge shook with fear and once again turned his head, and unnervingly saw a dripping wet corpse appear beside him, that pair of bloated and swollen hands were about to touch his shoulder, he could still even see, that there were still corpses constantly climbing up from the back of the ship.
“A a a a -”
Zheng-ge at this split second, automatically raised his hand, the wrist.w.a.tch he had always been wearing on his hand immediately let out an overwhelming noise, the clock"s hand quickly spun around, then the entire surface had soon shattered.
This was precisely a prop that Zheng-ge had luckily gotten from some other copy before, the function was to resist a ghost for a brief moment, but was certainly unable to persist for too long, and was also unable to handle the ghosts that were too high-leveled, but was definitely sufficient to handle this corpse now.
The corpse"s body stopped moving due to the wrist.w.a.tch"s effect, and Zheng-ge also took advantage of this opportunity to rush out like the wind, the other two people had also returned to their senses, and immediately broke into a run as well, not daring to remain there for even a while.
Those corpses coming at the rear followed with a kind of strange speed, the running speed clearly didn"t seem quick at all, however, it soon came closely behind, that also gave them a feeling that they wouldn"t be able to break away.
Zheng-ge and the other were dripping with cold sweats, without any better option, heavy objects like the backpacks they had on them were all cast off to increase their speed, but even this couldn"t improve much of their speed, they would certainly be caught by those corpse like this!
Just at this moment, a bright beam of light came from the front, a patrolling crew member had unexpectedly came upon this side.
Zheng-ge and the others seemingly seeing the hope of surviving, madly rushed forward, but upon seeing the look of that crew member"s face, unexpectedly made them want to stop their footsteps. The man running in the foremost position had nearly collided onto the body of the crew member, after he had arduously brought his body to a stop, the weakness of his legs almost made him kneel down to the ground.
The appearance of this crew member"s facial features could only be described as grotesque, the body was also stained with blood, which was absolutely not of a living person!
The two people along with Zheng-ge went stiff in fright, it still wasn"t the last day, yet this ship was already full of dead people, what were they supposed to do in the end!
After the crew member ghost noticed the 3 people here, a killing intent appeared on the face, a hand reached forward towards their side wanting to seize them.
At this moment of life and death, a burst of powerful strength suddenly came from behind the crew member ghost, and it defenselessly staggered falling down into the sea below.
“Is it Gu Wuji?!”
Zheng-ge and the others were simply so moved that tears were about to fall, at this time, it seemed that no other kind person besides Gu Wuji could appear, their innermost being at this moment became extremely touched that it had already reached the extent of wanting to swear their faith.
After feeling extremely touched the three people then saw a pale face close at hand, that evil spirit had a protruding eyeball, with an eerie and obtrusive blue veins, coldly staring at them, which was like watching a dead person.
The contrast was too big, that Zheng-ge who was standing at the foremost position almost directly pa.s.sed out.
“Ah, sorry about that.” Gu Wuji after that immediately pulled the evil spirit behind him, “I was afraid that the crew member a moment ago might do something irrational, so I wanted them to discuss it among themselves.”
Zheng-ge and several people suddenly became sluggish, but the expression in their eyes that were looking at Gu Wuji were already of extreme shock.
What"s the heck is going on with this guy? In the past, it was only running to the ghosts and nothing more, how had it already turned into ordering the ghosts about now? Was he actually still a human being??
Without knowing the reason why, their hearts after seeing Gu Wuji, somehow felt a lot more safer.
“Since you are now fine, we should quickly leave.” Gu Wuji said without much thought.
“But at the back, at the back……” the woman"s frantic voice sounded, “There are still a lot of corpses……”
“So that"s it, ah.” Gu Wuji turned his head to look and knitted his brows.
After all, the amount of corpses which had climbed up from that side of the ship were already more than a dozen, although as the sky brightened, the rest of the corpses had given up in going into the cruise ship, but those left behind would absolutely not be easy to deal with as well.
“So much people, that are also too enthusiastic, we can"t afford it, ah.” Gu Wuji speaking this much, then loosened the rope in his hand, with a natural and unforced movement pushed the evil spirit directly to the oncoming corpses, “You are all ghosts here, and should be very familiar, I will allow you to reminisce, we will not disturb.”
When the voice had fallen, Gu Wuji then quickly turned to run, the rest of the people shocked at Gu Wuji"s methods had also quickly turned to keep up.
The middle-aged ghost that was left behind and forced to harmoniously communicate with the corpses: “???” What bad luck had actually befallen him for him to encounter this type of human being!!
……
“That"s it, this are all the clues we know.”
Zheng-ge was just like a young daughter-in-law at this time, standing before Gu Wuji, and started speaking in a shy and restrained manner, “I swear on my life, I really don"t have even a bit of lie in my words!”
After they returned to the ship"s cabin, Zheng-ge had also clearly understood, that only by hugging Gu Wuji"s thigh will he be able to leave alive, there were no other alternatives besides this, so all the matters he knew of were naturally mentioned at once.
As for the man and woman, they were very eager to do insignificant tasks such as ma.s.saging Gu Wuji"s shoulders, and completely did not dare to even be a bit lazy.
“I believe you.” Gu Wuji considered a bit and said: “But, it seems that your goal to leave on the lifeboat cannot be done.”
He, a moment ago had been able to make out, those corpses in the water which had been climbing up from the edge of the ship"s cabin, not expecting that they would already be able to emerge from the water now……
Although due to some relationship with the brightened sky, which made them retreat, but it wasn"t certain during the night.
“That"s true.” Jiang Ling at the side was holding the two pieces of newspaper clipping for comparison, his eyes were full of bad intention, and started speaking with sarcasm: “Not to mention, who knows If those who escaped on the newspaper were actually human beings, or ghosts?”
He immediately placed the newspaper clippings on the table"s surface, everyone was able to clearly see, that even though this two pieces of newspaper clippings seemed to be interrelated with each other, but as a matter of fact the material and some subtle places were completely different!
This clearly shows that, one of the pieces were forged.
Zheng-ge and the others" scalp almost went numb upon hearing Jiang Ling"s words, the woman"s complexion suddenly changed, “I just said how could such a good thing exist, just a bit of points could be exchanged for such a detailed clue, that person who gave us the clue must certainly have problems!”
“Who knew……because the clue he gave at that time was really applicable to this copy, so I believed it.” Zheng-ge"s face was filled with remorse and unwillingness, gritting his teeth said: “Hateful, wait till I get out I"ll certainly……”
“Who are you talking about?” Gu Wuji couldn"t help but be interested.
In the previous copy, Peng Haocang once spoke with him about the matters of his organization, however he had not cared too much about it at that time. But now it seems, that these organizations can seemingly be able to do some great things.
“An organization named k13……I think you should also be clear, these organizations with small groups of us players don"t have a definite name, and all are numbers allocated by the system. At the same time they also have rules to restrict the teammates from harming each other.”
Gu Wuji: “……” It seems that he should have a proper look of the things inside the player"s forum after returning this time.
Zheng-ge of course said everything, without hiding anything he knows, divulging what he had done, “Of course we are just an ordinary small group, and did not expect to encounter that kind of big shot from an intermediate copy inside the forum, the other party even said that there were special channels to acquire clues, that would only require some points……”
“We were simply being swindled, how could people from an intermediate copy casually help insignificant people like us!” The woman resentfully stated.
“That"s right.” Zheng-ge had a bitter and astringent look on his face, but he also knew that it would be impossible for him to retaliate to the other party, after all, a person from an intermediate copy could pinch him to death with a single hand, “I did not expect for even this kind of thing to happen, at first-, at first I thought that since we do not have the things they wanted, nor would there be a possibility of coming to specially kill us.”
“Now is also not the time to discuss this kind of things.” Jiang Ling stated in a cold voice, “Time is already running out.”
“R-right.”
The expression of several other people suddenly became nervous, realizing that what they were going to do next, will determine whether or not they will survive tonight.
The sky outside had completely risen and brightened at this time, Gu Wuji lowered his head to look at his cellphone, then suddenly stood up, the other people immediately watched with a look of hope and expectation, with thoughts of how Gu Wuji was actually going to complete this mainline task.
Against the burning gazes of everyone, Gu Wuji opened his mouth to speak: “Also, it"s already the time to eat, Auston-shaoye should have gotten up.”
Other people: “???”
Wait a minute, how is it still the time to care so much about this employer and role as a bodyguard!
As expected, they were absolutely unable to comprehend the thoughts of a big shot.
……
Everyone arrived to the dinning hall where the breakfast was being served.
This place still appeared just like with the first day, except that the weather was no longer that sunny and cloudless as before, the appearance of the sea"s surface was very murky too.
When the sea breeze blows, it caused people to have a chilly feeling all over the body.
With regards to the players, what was even worse was that the dead people aboard the ship had increased yet again, the living people were already considered to be few and rare. Moving to and fro were some evil spirits with eerie appearances, it was a type of psychological test from the players perspective.
Auston"s complexion didn"t seem to be very well, with a blue-black coloring beneath his eyes, it was only when he saw Gu Wuji, that his mood clearly turned much better.
“Were you unable to have a good sleep yesterday?” Gu Wuji asked.
“Nothing, I only had some strange nightmares.” Auston was extremely angry as he said, “It must be because of what Jack, that guy did yesterday, I will certainly teach him a lesson once I leave.”
The other people wondered, whether or not this Jack was still alive until now.
After eating breakfast, Auston immediately started speaking, “Speaking of today, I looked through the itinerary, we will head to the cold storage of the cruise ship to take a look, it had reportedly been said that several of the staff members had been frozen inside before, as the door could not be inexplicably be opened……”
Everyone in their heart somewhat wanted to swear at someone, this was already the crucial period, yet he still actually wanted to court death by recklessness, no, this was no longer courting death by recklessness, this was simply looking for death!
Could it be that Gu Wuji still intended to accommodate this guy at this time!
“Apologies, Auston-shaoye, I think, you should rest now.” Gu Wuji looked at the other party with a smiling expression.
“En? I just got up--”
Auston"s words had still not been completely said, when a single hand chop from Gu Wuji, made him pa.s.s out at once.
“Okay, we can go now.”
Gu Wuji directly carried Auston on his back, spoke to everyone, then soon after headed outside.
Several other people had already been extremely baffled, they completely did not expect that Gu Wuji who would do every means for this Auston-shaoye, which was simply like his true love, to actually act this directly now……But it"s also true, that maybe by letting this pa.s.sionate in courting death dashaoye pa.s.s out is the only way to save his life.
“Where are we going now?”
“Of course it"s-, to the captain"s lounge.”

The author has something to say: This copy will probably be solved by tomorrow!
