Fifth day on the cruise
Xu Ziyue went to the restaurant to get breakfast early in the morning, and in the crowd, he saw the tour guide with the red coat and red cap at a glance.
Xu Ziyue looked around and looked around. There were not many chronic illnesses who came to the restaurant so early for breakfast, and they were all sluggish. You could probably see how heavy their experience had been these few days.
Xu Ziyue walked up to the tour guide, and then asked with a friendly smile, "Guide, how are you doing without seeing each other for a few days?"
The tour guide took two steps back strangely, and nodded stiffly, "What's the matter?"
Xu Ziyue was stunned for a moment, why did he feel that the tour guide was avoiding him
"There's nothing special, I just want to ask, are there any special people on this ship? Except for the tourists and crew?" Xu Ziyue added when the tour guide was about to shake his head, "You didn't say anything about the cruise ship. Will the master give a big gift to the person who has collected all the seals?"
The tour guide stopped shaking his head.
Xu Ziyue took the opportunity to ask, "What is the name of the owner of the cruise ship? You said the name of the cruise ship before, right? Can you tell me again?"
The tour guide was silent for a while, and Xu Ziyue noticed that he tilted his head in other directions, as if listening to something.
The tour guide seemed to think for a while and then said, "… The Westminster is the name of the cruise ship, and Westminster is also the surname of the owner of the cruise ship."
"Westminster..." Xu Ziyue scratched his hair.
The tour guide saw what Xu Ziyue was thinking about, but he didn't plan to stay here, "I'll go first if I have nothing else to do."
"Well, thank you." Xu Ziyue nodded, showing him a grateful smile.
The guide left in a hurry, but before he spoke to Xu Ziyue, he obviously had nothing to do. He walked here and there in the restaurant, and instead of eating, he looked around at the people in the restaurant.
Xu Ziyue brought breakfast back to Auston's room. Along the way, he recited the name "Auston Westminster" in his mind.
... it's really easy to read.
Auston was as gentle as always, and he promised to go to the Children's Paradise today, so he also took Xu Ziyue there.
The Children's Paradise was on the tenth floor. Xu Ziyue was pushing Auston's wheelchair. Before he got there, he saw from a distance that there were not many people in the Children's Paradise.
The entire area of the children's playground is composed of colorful colors and various cute patterns.
The pillars painted in light colors are built into entertainment projects for children to climb. Climb to the top and you can slide down on a rotating slide, with or holding a vertical column. It's just that the highest point of this climb is nearly five or six meters away from the ground, but the slide is not the type that is wrapped into a cylinder.
There is also an inflatable climbing game, but the bottom is not inflated, and even with a seat belt on it, it can be dangerous to fall.
Next to it is a small house made of some large pieces of plastic material. People can get into the small house, but they are only children. Adults can only go in half of the body, and the other lower body can only be exposed outside.
Then there's the sand play area and the merry-go-round items that don't hurt...
However, it is not too sure whether it hurt Xu Ziyue or not. This must be quite safe in the normal world. But in this world…
Xu Ziyue pushed Auston to the entrance.
Auston said, "Go in and play, and I'll wait for you outside."
"Well... OK." Xu Ziyue didn't recklessly ask about Auston's surname. Because if he asked, Auston wouldn't necessarily tell him. Even if he is in Gansu, what if it is fake
Xu Ziyue was afraid that he wouldn't be able to summon the courage to doubt him again with that face.
Or concentrate on your own exploration, and then know a part of it and really want to ask again.
There is a staff in a doll costume at the entrance of the children's park. The doll hood was not put on the employee's head, and the hood was sandwiched between his arms and his body.
The appearance of the staff can easily make people feel friendly. He had a faint smile on his face, different from the employees he had met before.
The employee said, "Welcome to the children's playground."
"Well. I'm here to get the seal. How do I get this seal?"
There were three children who were only seven or eight years old playing in the park, and their parents sat outside the park.
There is no green mark on the head, indicating that they are not players, just ordinary tourist NPCs.
"Play in the children's playground for half an hour and experience half of the games successfully."
Xu Ziyue nodded, "Okay, thank you."
Xu Ziyue took off his shoes and went in to play as required. To be honest, he hadn't played with these things for more than ten years. He only vaguely remembered playing in similar scenes when he was a child, and he would be followed by adults at that time.
He looked back at Auston and saw that Auston was also looking at him, and when he met Xu Ziyue's gaze, Auston smiled and waved.
This made Xu Ziyue feel that he was being watched all the time.
Xu Ziyue first went to play with the inflatable climbing hill, and when he stood on the edge of the inflatable hill, he realized that there were no safety measures at all. A device like Reality will always have a rope attached to the waist and one fixed under the crotch for safety.
But the ground is just ordinary foam. Is there any rope on it? If you accidentally fall down... For adults, there is a chance of death, but it's not big, but it's easy to break a bone. .
Xu Ziyue felt a faint pain in his butt again.
Xu Ziyue grabbed the rope on the inflatable mountain where he shook hands and slowly climbed up.
If Auston is the owner of the cruise ship, then he must know what the gift after receiving the twenty stamps is. On the one hand, Xu Ziyue couldn't make himself look too different among a group of horror players, and on the other hand, he had to complete his game mission. Fortunately, there are so many people in this game that he can actually collect such stamps or not.
But if there are fewer and fewer people, there is nothing on his card, and he doesn't know what information is exchanged between players of horror games... Others will also be suspicious.
Even if he threw the card into the sea, even if he did nothing. It may also be regarded by players with persecution paranoia as self-defeating, and then suppressing their thoughts, maybe they will frame other players.
In this case, it is better for Xu Ziyue to take the initiative and arrange time to experience it everywhere, get all the seals, and finally satisfy his curiosity about gifts.
If the system told Xu Ziyue that he was in the same danger as other players, Xu Ziyue would not make fun of himself to experiment with these projects. But nothing will happen to him...
So Xu Ziyue was more confident, and then a little bit of pursuit of excitement, he tried to experience the twenty items.
Xu Ziyue came down from the inflatable mountain without any danger, then went to the pool full of plastic balls to play casually with balls, and then went to play a few games such as sand... One after another, he came outside. a few players. They did not come in directly, but stood outside to observe Xu Ziyue. Knowing that Xu Ziyue came out safely and asking the staff to stamp him, they went in one by one.
After Auston looked at it, Xu Ziyue looked at his card over and over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Ziyue shook his head with a blank expression, "No. I just think... it's too easy, a little unreal."
"You got the seal, aren't you happy?"
"No, I'm quite happy." Xu Ziyue put away the confusion on his face and smiled at Auston.
He didn't play everything in the park, but it was easier to pick up and play faster. Just remembered what the employee said about being "half the game"... did he get halfway there
Speaking of the merry-go-round, Xu Ziyue started to count silently when he got on it. When he got down, he probably counted to more than 200. There was also a rocking cart... The field was quite large, and he didn't pay much attention to going back and forth. . It was just a walk while playing, and after half an hour, I ran to the entrance and exit.
As a result, the employee told him that he was done...
With Auston by his side, it was inconvenient for Xu Ziyue to wait for the results of the others, so he left with Auston not long after.
In the morning, Auston took Xu Ziyue to seal the table tennis and chess and card rooms. At noon, they ate in the cafeteria.
In this way, he has eight seals.
After lunch, Xu Ziyue told Auston that he was going to find other people who were on the boat with him, and then said goodbye to Auston temporarily for the afternoon.
If he can't figure out the identity of Auston, he will always think about it!
Xu Ziyue left Auston, and then hurriedly returned to the children's playground on the tenth floor that he went to first in the morning...
Soothing nursery rhymes are played in the tenth-floor corridor, and the song echoes in the empty hallway. The sound is as if there are children standing around invisible to humans, and singing nursery rhymes around you.
Because Xu Ziyue couldn't find the speaker playing the song...
He walked quickly to the entrance of the park, then glanced at the park employee who was a little surprised at his reappearance, then turned a corner and walked to the side of a few players.
Xu Ziyue asked, "Excuse me, how can I get the seal for this project?"
Several players glanced at the top of Xu Ziyue's head, and then replied, "Just play all the items in it within a day. If you really play, just touch it casually."
Xu Ziyue touched his nose, "Thank you."
They thought that Xu Ziyue was going to experience it, so they quickly stopped it, "Don't go there. Something happened just now."
"Something happened?"
"Yeah. Someone just fell off that slide, and the posture of falling to the ground is very strange." The face of the player who spoke was ugly, "It looks like all the limbs were broken, and they were all stacked together after the fall."
"There is another one, the whole body was twisted and stuffed in the small house, and it was discovered by the player behind. When I saw it, the player who was stuffed in the small house... I don't know when he died. The bodies are hard. No one knows how he got in."
"As for the other players..." The player who was talking to Xu Ziyue gave a wry smile, "I want to come out now, but I was told that I can't come out if I haven't successfully experienced all the games. So we are all standing here now and don't dare to go in. Let's see if there is anything inside that can come out."
"I see, thank you." Xu Ziyue bowed to them, thinking about another place he went to in the morning. He said goodbye to several players, and then hurriedly ran in the direction of the elevator.
After not running far, he turned back and glanced at the entrance of the park.
The employees at the entrance of the park smiled as always, and the curvature of the corners of their mouths did not change at all.
…
Table tennis and basketball were both on the twelfth floor of the cruise ship. Xu Ziyue arrived at the table tennis room, just in time to see a few players who had changed their seals and prepared to leave with a relaxed face.
When they saw Xu Ziyue, they were a little wary at first, and then walked over to Xu Ziyue with a playful smile on their faces.
Xu Ziyue frowned and didn't step back, "Is there something wrong?" With such an expression, it was obvious that he was not a good person.
"Don't worry, we're here to tell you something."
"Didn't we just tell you that we were watching you alone, afraid that you were not well-informed?"
Xu Ziyue's eyes were suspicious, "Then what news are you talking about?"
"We have found out what happens to people parasitized by sea monsters after their bodies collapse." They said with a smile, "After the sea monsters leave, the body of the corpse will be completely deflated, the eye sockets will be sunken, and the eyeballs will fall off. And ah…”
"Don't say it, it's almost done." Someone next to him still couldn't stand this description, so he stopped it a little. While they are happy to see other people's terrified faces, they don't like being scared themselves.
"A player has..."
The player shook his finger, "No, what we found was the employees on the ship. That is to say, the target of the sea monster not only includes the player, but also everyone on the ship."
"If the employees who wait until they will stamp the seal are also parasitic... What do you think we will do?"
Xu Ziyue looked at them without any hesitation, "Then aren't you the same?"
The group of players laughed, "We already have twelve seals, and we've almost collected them all. What are you afraid of?"
"Well... It's really amazing. By the way, did you go to the basketball and children's playground?"
They looked at each other and shook their heads.
Xu Ziyue raised his hand and patted the lead player on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Then be careful."
He still has to figure out Auston's identity, and then he has to go to the chess and card room to take a look, so he won't tell them more.
The author has something to say: Promise to the little snake shadow girl, see I have grown a little thicker today!
