Xiao Li's thoughts changed, and he asked Bi Xian tentatively, "Do you know the identity of 'It'?"
Does the "it" mentioned in the mission refer to the water ghost on this ship, or other ghosts
The water pen under the control of the pen fairy paused. Although it did not want to answer, it still wrote a line with a wrinkled face: [It is a trap.]
trap…
Do you mean this ship? Or the mission itself
Xiao Li thought about it in his heart, and then asked, "Where is it?"
Pen Immortal: [It…]
At the same time when Bi Xian wrote this sentence, except for the first word that was clearly seen by Xiao Li and Ye Zeqing, the rest of the sentences were all obscured by some kind of supernatural power, presumably because they touched the truth about the cruise ship. .
Then this also means that the reincarnators in this dungeon world cannot directly ask the truth about the higher evil spirits - Xiao Li gave up the third question he had prepared, he pulled out the toothpick inserted in the sandwich, and turned to ask a question in Ye Zeqing heard an inexplicable question: "Who is that cat?"
Pen Immortal: [… ]
- Can't say it, even if you know it, you can't say it!
But it has to answer, so the pen fairy can only reluctantly destroy its own reputation - it wrote in a panic: [This, this touches my blind spot of knowledge.]
Xiao Li: "..."
There is such a thing as a pen fairy and a knowledge blind spot
He gestured to Ye Zeqing with his eyes, and the young man looked back at him with strange eyes, it seemed that he didn't get his intentions - Xiao Li touched the back of Ye Zeqing's hand, held the pen with him again, Xian sent it back.
Then Xiao Li flicked the fountain pen that was refilled with ink, and added a word after the original noun: trap.
Ye Zeqing is different from his elder brother Ye Lingshi, Ye Lingshi likes to think, and because of Ye Zeqing's natural constitution, he usually clears the customs by sensing with ghosts, so Ye Zeqing watched Xiao Li put clues there. Writing it out, I was actually quite confused.
He was confused, but he didn't ask because it was too hard to ask.
The young man picked up the coffee and took another sip, his eyes wandering, wanting to wait for Xiao Li to take the initiative to speak.
Xiao Li put one hand on his chin, drew a boat under the word "trap", and wrote a question mark in doubt.
Ye Zeqing thought even more bewildered: Why did Xiao Li draw a pool of vomit under the trap? Or is it a turf trap, no, it looks more like Pinocchio's nose...
Xiao Li went through all the clues so far in his mind, then crumpled the piece of white paper into a ball and threw it into the trash can. It seemed that he did not intend to take the initiative to speak to Ye Zeqing.
Ye Zeqing twisted twice on the chair and drank the cup of coffee.
The two of them were thinking about each other, and a few people turned up from the stairs. It was really the other reincarnations who were separated from them at the pier at that time. The head was a playful and lovely girl.
The girl wears beads on her wrist, has a round face and round eyes, a moderate figure, and has a smile on her face. She is the type that makes people feel good.
She came to the two of them: "Are you also the reincarnators this time? I'm Qi Xiaoxiao."
Ye Zeqing put his hand on the table, turned his head, looked at the little girl from top to bottom, and said coolly, "Yan Luo."
Xiao Li: "..."
Ye Zeqing is a bit of a middle schooler.
He sighed. "Just call me Moriarty."
Qi Xiaoxiao didn't laugh because of the strange name. There are many names in the reincarnation, some call themselves "Wukong", and some "Tiandi". The strangest name she has ever seen is a post on a forum. "A wise and fortunate man" seen in the child - this is the name of a reincarnator.
Qi Xiaoxiao exchanged a few words with them, and then cut to the topic: "Did you have been attacked by ghosts last night? One of our reincarnations was caught by ghosts when he was sleeping last night. Fortunately, he survived because he had life-saving props. down."
Ye Zeqing looked at Xiao Li: "He was also attacked, but nothing happened."
Qi Xiaoxiao habitually touched the beads on his wrist: "Do you want to join us? Let's all act together, so that we can take care of them."
This was the main reason why she came to say hello. After all, the two of them looked different from the rabble outside.
Ye Zeqing stretched his shoulders and arms, raised his chin slightly, and looked down at Qi Xiaoxiao, "I'm used to being alone."
Seeing this, Qi Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed, but the smile on his face remained the same: "It's okay, if there is a chance in the future, we can work together again."
After she said that, she sat down with the others near them and ordered another cocktail for each of them.
Qi Xiaoxiao raised the wine glass against the sea breeze: "We went to the crew yesterday to ask about the history of this ship. It sounds innocent and has never been haunted."
Xiao Li inserted a small piece of sandwich with a toothpick and put it in his mouth. Before he even opened his mouth, he choked on the unpalatable sandwich and coughed a few times.
Ye Zeqing frowned, handed the other party's orange juice to him, and at the same time said with a smile: "Maybe the ghost just boarded the boat and came with us."
"But we—"
Qi Xiaoxiao was about to speak when a male reincarnation ran up from the cabin downstairs. He whispered a few words in Qi Xiaoxiao's ear, and Qi Xiaoxiao jumped up: "Something happened to the plot characters!"
They ran towards the interior of the cabin together, and Xiao Li followed.
In the corridor of the second-class cabin, the black-haired girl was lying on the ground, panting violently, holding the poker card that belonged to her tightly in her hand.
Luo Shan had just experienced a frightening moment—An Ran went out early in the morning to find Zhu Zhu and the others to discuss the photos from last night. She stayed in the room to organize her things, so she took a pat.
After finishing all the luggage, Luo Shan went into the bathroom to wash her face. She took a basin of water and just wanted to bury her face in it when a huge force suddenly came from the back of her head!
That feeling, like another person standing behind Roshan, pressing her head with her arms, trying to drown her alive in the water basin!
Roshan struggled desperately, not knowing where the ghost was touched, and finally she pulled her head out of the basin before she suffocated, but it wasn't over.
The basin of water "swam" towards her as if alive, like a water snake, as if it would not stop until it drowned her.
Roshan rolled and crawled frantically and ran outside, opened the door and rushed out of the corridor, but the water behind her kept following her until she fell because of the inconvenience of her slippers.
"Help me—"
At that moment, Roshan closed her eyes in despair, she thought she would die, but at that moment, the playing cards she had been putting in her pocket since she got it fell to the ground, making a slight "click" .
In that instant, the water flow disappeared.
Roshan clearly saw that a light floated out from the playing cards, stirring up the water.
This poker is... just protecting her
Roshan picked up the playing card in the spray, it was wet and wrinkled, but she held the playing card in her hand like a treasure.
She clings to the last piece of driftwood like a drowning man.
Luo Shan thought that the man who dealt poker cards at the dance must be an expert. He saw the existence of water ghosts, so he gave them life-saving spirits!
She held playing cards until the reincarnators arrived and circled around Roshan.
"Miss Luo Shan, are you alright?" The reincarnation who caught up to inform Qi Xiaoxiao had obviously talked to Luo Shan. He pretended to be surprised and leaned over to help Luo Shan.
Roseanne lowered her head and clenched her playing cards.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Why are you so embarrassed?" Qi Xiaoxiao asked with concern.
Roshan only recognized them as strangers who had greeted her at the dance, she subconsciously denied: "It's okay, just slipped..."
The male reincarnator said: "It's alright, Luo Shan, did you encounter something unclean? We also encountered it last night, but it was fortunate that I had a jade pendant that I wore since I was a child, so I escaped. , I think this ship is... haunted!"
He deliberately lowered the last two words and exploded in Roshan's ear like thunder.
Luo Shan said like a bosom friend: "It's water, I... I was washing my face, and then it seemed like someone was holding me down, trying to drown me. After I rushed out, the water still followed me... "
"and then?"
"Then... it's it!" Roshan held up the card. "It saved me, it broke the water..."
Everyone's eyes focused on the card, Qi Xiaoxiao took out the card that belonged to him from the bag on his chest, and rubbed it thoughtfully.
Is this card more than just a decoration
Qi Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment, wanting to get more information from the plot characters, she and the male reincarnator helped Luo Shan to find her companion.
Ye Zeqing just wanted to keep up with them, but Xiao Li turned the corner and walked in the other direction, the young man was stunned and caught up with him: "Where are you going?"
Xiao Li: "Eat."
"Didn't you just eat a sandwich?"
"It's unpalatable."
"… "
Ye Zeqing suspected that he was with the wrong person, but he touched his stomach, a cup of coffee was not enough to feed him, so he followed up consciously.
The two of them walked in the cabin one after the other. The boat was driving very steadily, and only a little shaking told them that it was on the sea.
After walking for about a minute, Ye Zeqing's expression suddenly changed, he reached out and grabbed Xiao Li's left hand, and shouted sharply, "The ghost has appeared."
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a row of continuous footprints appeared in front of the two of them, in the opposite direction.
The footprints were made of water, as if a transparent, invisible "person", dripping with water, was walking towards them.
Ye Zeqing's whole body tensed, and the little ghost tattoo on his arm moved. He closed his eyes to sense the emotion of the water ghost on the opposite side, and said, "It's looking for food, it's hungry..."
Xiao Li looked back at Ye Zeqing in surprise: "Can you translate?"
Ye Zeqing spoke very quickly: "I can vaguely detect the emotions of ghosts, but if the difference in strength is large, it cannot be sensed, and there is a distance limit - now this is not the point, the point is that it wants to eat us!"
The water ghost stopped one meter away from Xiao Li.
Ye Zeqing simultaneously translated the other party's emotions: "It is hesitating."
The next moment, the two raised their heads at the same time, and footsteps came from the ceiling!
Footprints appeared in all directions.
The entire corridor was like a sauna scene, with water mist constantly pouring out, and in the dimness, a human figure dripping with water stood upside down and emerged from the ceiling.
The water ghost's hair is wrapped with seaweed, and its teeth are extremely sharp. It was obviously hidden in the sea before, with a king crab tucked at the end of its hair, an octopus on its feet, and Xiao Li's head facing each other.
Xiao Li's eyes lit up, he put one hand in his pocket, just pressed back the playing cards that were about to come out, and grabbed the water ghost's hair with the other hand, and pulled it out before it opened its mouth. The king crab wrapped around its hair was also entangled with a few long hairs belonging to water ghosts, which were uprooted together.
Ye Zeqing translated slowly in sync: "...it's afraid...it hurts a little..."
