Xu Ziyue said goodbye to the three players and ran towards the chess and card room.
The chess and card room and the casino are both located on the second floor of the cruise ship, ten floors apart from the twelfth floor where Xu Ziyue is now.
Along the way, he was recalling the news revealed by the three players.
The Kraken's target will not only be the player, but all the NPCs on the cruise ship. Whether it's an employee such as a sailor, or other tourists other than players... Although Xu Ziyue didn't think that sea monsters would only hunt players, he subconsciously thought that sea monsters would give priority to players.
But that may not be the case at the moment.
In front of the sea monster, all people are the same, whether it is a player or an NPC, everyone has the same chance of being picked by it.
The sea monster makes the NPC attrition seem to have nothing to do with their players, but in fact if there is a mistake in this, no one of the players on the ship may survive.
As the three players just said, if the NPC who stamped them was parasitized and died, where would they get their stamps
Xu Ziyue got on the elevator, and two more players came up on the eleventh floor.
Xu Ziyue didn't care too much, he thought too much, so he didn't talk to him. He looked over and over in the elevator with the card on his chest, but he didn't see anything special.
It was the stamps that had already been put on their exclusive positions... that made him a little interested.
He hadn't carefully observed the difference between these seals before, or what the similarities and differences were.
Looking closely now, I can see that these seals are all round, and the bottom should be the same pattern, the pattern is…
Before Xu Ziyue could see clearly, the elevator shook violently!
Xu Ziyue stuck to the corner of the elevator, spread his hands wide, and stabilized his body.
He looked at the monitor with the small red light above the ESC, and said, "Anyone? The elevator is out of order!"
Xu Ziyue was very flustered at the moment the elevator shook, because it reminded him of the word death.
Even though he's actually a dead man, and he's died once, he still hates death.
The elevator did not continue to descend, but Xu Ziyue, who was in the elevator at the moment, was not feeling well.
At this moment, the ESC is like a large iron box suspended by a rope, and then one hand is holding the other side of the rope, and the rope is gently shaken at will. The iron box used as the elevator swayed in mid-air. The upper and lower tracks of the elevator could not make the elevator swing up and down, but Xu Ziyue felt that way at the moment.
Xu Ziyue stabilized his body, and then slowly sat against the corner with his legs open. He looked at the two players in the corner on the other side, the state of the two of them made Xu Ziyue feel a chill on his back.
Xu Ziyue asked, "You... are you all right?"
The two players are a man and a woman, and the man's reaction is no different from that of a normal person. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and his face was a degree paler than at the beginning. But the female one was different. She was expressionless and didn't feel anything about what was in front of her. The elevator box was swaying, and she didn't feel dangerous. She couldn't stand up, so she stood up again and again, and occasionally stood up for a while, and she pressed the button of the floor she wanted to go to many times. When she couldn't stand up, she fell down, her knees were broken, and she couldn't even feel it when she was blue.
The male player swallowed, slowly opened the distance from the female player, and shrank towards Xu Ziyue.
But an elevator, no matter how far it is, the two sides are actually very close to each other.
"What's the situation?" Xu Ziyue asked the male player next to him in a low voice.
The male player's face was ugly. He didn't expect that the target he looked normal yesterday would change his appearance today, but he still had some guesses.
He pointed to the female player, "It's very likely that it was parasitized..."
The sudden and unforeseen event left Xu Ziyue at a loss, not to mention that even if he wanted to do something, it would be difficult to stand up in this swaying elevator box, and there was nothing to do.
"Is this elevator also a project? Why did something happen suddenly?" Xu Ziyue went up and down so many times before, but there was no problem, but this time.
The male player's face turned pale, clearly remembering something.
Xu Ziyue asked him, but he hesitantly refused to say it. He couldn't bear to say it until the children's laughter sounded around the elevator box.
"I was in the children's playground... I promised the kid who was playing there, let me play all the games safely and bring him out."
Xu Ziyue's pupils shrank, child
He remembered that there were children when he went in, but they always played with themselves and didn't come to talk to him. At that time, Xu Ziyue couldn't help but be alert to any danger, so he didn't take the initiative to tell them. what.
But now it looks like they are likely to be special.
"Why didn't you keep your promise?" He knew there were probably some reasons, otherwise normal people would not be willing to break their promises to children who could help them. Not to mention that children in this world are mostly special.
Especially because everyone is reluctant to provoke them easily.
"I thought too, but, but other NPCs outside don't allow it. If it is said that children should stay inside. Those NPC parents look normal at first glance, but in fact, they are all very strange."
Xu Ziyue had nothing to say, because he wanted to get out of the children's paradise safely, so he agreed to the "child"'s request, but because of other NPCs, he couldn't fulfill his promise, which caused Xu Ziyue to suffer.
The male player nervously looked at his companion who was on the elevator with him, "What should I do now?" If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have seen that his companion was parasitized.
Xu Ziyue shook his head, "You can't help it, what else can I do."
He didn't know if the sea monster had any other abilities besides parasitism, but at present it seemed that the sea monster in the human body was no different from the player. It's like being stuck in an elevator and can't get out.
The female player's knees and palms had been scratched a lot, and blood beads were seeping from the skin. Under normal circumstances, someone must have taken her to treat her injuries.
It was just parasitized by the sea monster... Xu Ziyue and the male player did not catch up.
What if the sea monster doesn't want to stay in the current body, and is ready to change it
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the elevator stopped abruptly, and Xu Ziyue's body crooked again.
The elevator stopped abruptly, as if being held down by another hand.
The sense of vibration penetrated Xu Ziyue's body through the elevator box, and he had some tinnitus...
The door of the elevator was opened, but the position where the elevator was parked was somewhat inaccessible, and only the lower half of the door was in contact with it peacefully.
Then Xu Ziyue lowered his head and saw Auston in a wheelchair in front of a group of workers.
"Auston!" Xu Ziyue squatted on the elevator in surprise. If it could be animalized, then at this moment, Xu Ziyue would be followed by a wagging dog's tail.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Ziyue's dog's tail froze and drooped down.
He remembered what he was going to do.
"Come out, I'll follow you." Auston opened his hand and looked at Xu Ziyue gently from below.
Xu Ziyue glanced at the female player who had consciously crawled outside, and then at the male player.
The male player shook his head, "You go first." What appeared in his mind at this moment was the image of the elevator suddenly running again. In that case, the body will be broken into two sections... If it can be parasitized by the sea monster... He shook his head in his heart, and cast aside those imaginative imaginations. It's better to be safe, and he can get out of the current predicament even if he is safe.
It's just that he didn't dare to go out first.
This first one is of course not an abnormal female player.
Xu Ziyue shrugged at the male player and turned to look at Auston.
Auston nodded affirmatively and said, "It's alright, trust me."
Xu Ziyue's ears turned red, he lowered his head and crawled outside.
A few workers outside helped catch Xu Ziyue, making him stand on the ground without falling.
Xu Ziyue patted the dusty clothes on his body and hurriedly poured them down one by one.
The male player inside heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Xu Ziyue went out safely.
The parasitized female player also returned to normal, no longer nervously pressing the elevator button. She limped into another elevator and went up.
Xu Zi thought about it more, but still didn't call her.
Even if he stopped, he didn't know what to say.
"Let's go, go back and change your clothes first." Auston didn't ask Xu Ziyue anything, but it was just like that, which made Xu Ziyue unable to raise any thoughts.
"Then I'll go first?" Xu Ziyue greeted the male player who was halfway down.
The male player muffled "um" twice.
Xu Ziyue thought of the children in the children's paradise, and was a little worried...
Auston asked, "What's the matter? Are you not going?"
Xu Ziyue shook his head and pushed Auston to leave.
Just two steps away, Xu Ziyue saw the little girl standing in front of them.
The little girl smiled sweetly in the direction of the male player, making the same laughter they heard in the elevator.
Xu Zi turned his head sharply, "...!"
Before he could say anything, Auston put his hand on the back of Xu Ziyue's wheelchair, "Why did you stop?"
Xu Ziyue looked at the male player who got out of the elevator safely, and cold sweat still broke out.
When he turned around again, the little girl was gone.
The author has something to say: School starts on the 2nd.
Then it's time to start adjusting.
