At six o'clock in the morning, the sea was already bright.
In the slightly swaying ship, many people were silent.
Ever since the steward pointed at the male player in front of Ruan Bai, everyone held their breath involuntarily.
The expression of the male player who was pointed at also changed a lot in vain.
To tell a story that satisfies the owner.
Moreover, the master has never heard of it...
In fact, in this case, instead of thinking about an existing story, the best thing is to make up one yourself.
However, not everyone is an author. Most of the people here have written the longest story, which is the 800-word composition written in the middle school and high school classes.
Caught off guard, the male player's complexion became worse and worse, and his lips trembled.
story... story...
Since the master likes the story of the mermaid saving people, then he will tell a similar one
His fingers shrank a little: "I, I want to tell a story about mermaids..."
In the male player's stumbling voice, the story he was going to tell reached everyone's ears.
As Ruan Bai expected, he couldn't make up a temporary story, at most he could slightly change the existing story.
Therefore, what the male player is telling is the story of the mermaid that everyone is familiar with.
"A long time ago, deep in the ocean, there was a mermaid kingdom, and the mermaid king had six princesses..."
The smallest of the six princesses is the mermaid.
She fell in love with the prince, rescued the prince from the sea, and exchanged her singing voice for human legs. Whenever she walked on land, her feet would hurt like stepping on the tip of a knife.
Because of the small vocabulary, the male player summed up the story of the mermaid dryly as if he were talking about an outline.
However, at the end, the male player changed the ending of the mermaid.
"The appearance of the mermaid evokes the prince's lost memory," he said carefully. "In the end, the prince fell in love with the mermaid and lived happily ever after with her."
After he finished telling the story, the players around looked nervously at the back of the chair in front.
In other words, they were sitting there with their backs to their masters.
What kind of story does the master like
Can this story satisfy him
While everyone was speculating, the master finally gave a response.
He chuckled.
"A very fulfilling and lovely story," he commented lightly, "I like this kind of story."
Hearing what he said, the male player's face brightened instantly!
However, when others were caught off guard, the master let out a strange laugh after boasting about the story.
"It's just weird, a person who has killed people, telling me this kind of story... don't you think it's offensive?"
Hearing this, Ruan Bai's heart sank slightly.
Sure enough, the story that the master will like is definitely not that simple and perfect.
No, or the master also likes consummation stories, but their identities are all murderers, and doing so will arouse the master's resentment.
The story that the female player told her probably cannot be continued.
While Ruan Bai was thinking secretly, the male player sitting in front of her had already ushered in the final result.
The owner is very dissatisfied with his story, and he doesn't need to stay here anymore.
Following the master's order, the steward walked up to the male player and tried to take him away.
"I, I'm not a murderer!" The player struggled, "I'm not! Don't kill me!"
He waved his arms violently against the steward.
His eyes of despair and resentment swept over the surrounding players, his whole face looked gloomy and paranoid, as if he wanted to do something.
Seeing this, Ruan Bai subconsciously hid to the side, not wanting to be affected.
Before many players die, out of the idea of revenge against the society, they will try to drag a player around them into the water.
Being entangled by such a lunatic will be very troublesome...
The steward ignored his struggle and easily grabbed the player's hand.
His gray eyes were aimed directly at the player, and his voice was cold and calm: "Let's go."
This command seemed to have some kind of strange ability, and instantly quieted the irritable male player.
Looking into the steward's eyes, the male player's eyes gradually became dull.
"Let's go..." he murmured, "I'm leaving..."
He stood up blankly, obediently listened to the manager's words, left his seat, and left the hall.
Ruan Bai looked over from a distance, and saw that his walking posture was very natural, not as stiff as a marionette in previous games.
This is natural, at this moment, it is far more frightening than a stiff posture.
Finally, with the muffled sound of a heavy object falling into the water, that player was eliminated.
The salty sea breeze blew in through the open door, instantly reducing the temperature in the warm hall by at least three degrees.
The first round of stories is over, and now it's Ruan Bai's turn.
Ruan Bai looked at the master's back and took a deep breath.
After the round just now, she felt that she almost understood what kind of story to tell.
First of all, the owner is interested in the story of the mermaid, which is certain.
The master also said just now that he likes this kind of story, which shows that as long as there are mermaid-themed stories, there is no problem.
A murderer who tells a perfect and beautiful story will arouse the disgust of the master, so why don't she tell the opposite
Didn't Xiaoxue tell her before, the story that the master often reads, people who were rescued by the mermaid when they were in shipwreck.
Received the gift of the mermaid and lived a happy life.
Change the ending a little bit, maybe, you can pass the test, right
While Ruan Bai was thinking this way, the master suddenly spoke.
"I want a story that I like," he said, "so, from now on, I'll answer a question to the person who can tell a story that pleases me."
Hearing this sentence, Ruan Bai and the others were shocked.
this promise...
The eyes of other players lit up obviously, and many of them showed eagerness to try.
But Ruan Bai's heart became uneasy following the master's words.
Delaying time, the master is definitely delaying time.
Her previous intuition was not wrong!
"Master, can I tell my story in advance?"
As the master's voice fell, a player quickly stood up and stopped in front of Ruan Bai: "Is it necessary to tell the story in a fixed order, and can it be disrupted? I want to tell my story second!"
The master smiled.
As if waiting for this scene, he nodded and said, "Yes."
So, with the approval of the master, that player pushed Ruan Bai aside and became the second storyteller.
This is an old player, and very confident.
What Ruan Bai can be sure of is that he probably knows a lot of information about this cruise ship, and he has definitely seen the mermaid story Xiaoxue mentioned.
He even had the same idea as her just now, wanting to process the story of the shipwrecked mermaid and finally tell it.
And Ruan Bai's guess was indeed correct.
"What I want to tell is a mermaid story about a shipwreck," the player said confidently. "It's the same sea, and there's also a ship. I believe this story will satisfy you."
After speaking, he told his own story.
It was no different from what Ruan Bai thought in his heart. At the beginning, a group of people encountered shipwreck and then fell into the water.
Fortunately, a kind mermaid rescued them, sent them back to the coast, and gave them a lot of pearls.
However, when it came to the back, the player's style of painting changed, and the whole story turned in a completely unexpected direction.
"Precious pearls made people rich, and everyone's mentality was distorted in the face of huge amounts of money," he said. "So, in order to get pearls again, people repeated the same tricks."
Hearing this, Ruan Bai narrowed his eyes.
She exchanged glances with Xiaoxue who was not far away. Obviously, they both thought of the news that 200 people were shipwrecked during the whole school trip.
To be honest, going out to play during a school holiday, with so many students, and going to sea without landing, it is very fascinating.
Especially for storms and so on, there are weather forecasts.
Even if the rain came suddenly and caught everyone off guard, it was not a tsunami.
If you can react immediately, it can be saved.
It can make 200 people die in the sea, which shows that the boat at that time was definitely far away from the sea.
... They deliberately traveled to the deep sea.
When Ruan Bai fell into deep thought, the player's story didn't stop there.
In his mouth, out of greed, people began to try to "encounter" shipwreck over and over again, so as to meet mermaids and get pearls from them.
"In the end, the mermaids were disgusted by their greed," the player said. "When the last shipwreck happened, they just watched people struggling in the sea from a distance, and didn't help them."
At this point, the story about mermaids and humans is completely over.
Frustrated people no longer interfere with mermaids, and mermaids will never appear in front of people again.
"My story is finished," the player said, "Master, please comment."
His tone was very confident, as if he wasn't worried about being disgusted by his master.
"Great story," said the master.
The master did not disappoint the player's expectations, and praised his story: "It's very interesting, much more interesting than the previous story, and I can feel that you have a certain understanding of me."
When the players heard this, the joy on their faces grew stronger.
"However, I still don't like your story."
In the next second, the master coldly interrupted the praise.
His back was facing the players, and no one could see his expression clearly.
But they could feel the master's sarcasm towards the player through his tone: "What I want is something new, a story I don't know... Your story is too old, I'm not interested."
The steward said when he announced the rules, the story told by the players, one must be able to please the master, and the other is that the master has never heard of it.
This player's story, while good, violates the second rule by implying too much.
"Take him down," the master ordered lightly, "The story of the third round continues."
Facing the elimination of the second player, all the players who were about to move sat back.
Their faces turned pale in an instant, and everyone's eyes flickered and hesitated, obviously no longer planning to stand out.
This opportunity to tell a story finally came before Ruan Bai.
