Xu Ziyue shook his head at Auston, he was still a little confused, but seeing that the player was fine, he could only put down his doubts.
But before Xu Ziyue pushed Auston for a few steps, he heard the sound of falling.
The male player tripped over the toolbox of the worker beside him, and then fell to the ground with his face down. The triangular blocks on the ground were inserted between the player's eyebrows...
Xu Ziyue listened to the laughter in the corridor, his fingers trembled, and his mood sank to the bottom. Auston raised his hand to hold Xu Ziyue's hand, Xu Ziyue bent down following his strength, and was hugged by Auston face to face in his arms.
Auston gently patted Xu Ziyue's back, with a hint of worry mixed in his soothing tone, "It's okay, don't be afraid, you'll be fine."
Xu Ziyue rested his chin on Auston's shoulder for a while, he closed it to calm himself down.
Even if Auston came, the elevator would be fine, even if they were about to leave, something went wrong, even if Auston took him to the children's playground, there was nothing, even if it was…
Xu Ziyue clenched his fist and tapped his head. Forget it, he didn't believe the excuse he made, how could there be so many coincidences.
Xu Ziyue and Auston returned to the cabin in Auston's room.
As soon as Auston saw Xu Ziyue coming back, he sat unhappy on the small sofa. He slipped his wheelchair to Xu Ziyue and asked gently, "What's the matter? Are you still afraid?"
Xu Ziyue raised his eyes and stared at Auston for a long time, then lowered his head and asked in a muffled voice, "Can I hold your hand again?" What just happened was so surprising to him that he didn't even feel it well.
Now... hurry up and seize the opportunity.
Auston chuckled and said, "Of course you can. You can hold on for as long as you want, if that makes you happier."
Xu Ziyue reached out and grabbed Auston's outstretched hand.
At the first contact, Xu Ziyue only dared to touch Auston's fingertips. Auston's fingers were warm, not the same as the cold that Sun Mo brought Xu Ziyue.
He slowly raised his hands, and then wrapped them around Auston's palms.
Xu Ziyue lowered his head and looked at the hands they were shaking, "Auston, why are you being so kind to me?"
"Is not it good?"
Xu Ziyue shook his head, "It's not bad... I just want to know, do you treat others the same way you treat me?"
"… "
Xu Ziyue did not wait for Auston's answer. He looked up at Auston and found Auston was also looking at himself.
Allston said: "Because you like me don't you? I want to be nice to those who like me."
Xu Ziyue asked back, "Then do you like me too?"
Auston didn't smile.
Xu Ziyue let go of Auston's hand and sat up straight, "Auston, can you...can you control this cruise ship? Are you the owner of the cruise ship?"
Auston raised his eyebrows. He withdrew his hands and leaned back on the back of the wheelchair at will, with his hands lightly resting on his lower abdomen. Auston's voice was as gentle as before, but the emotion in those eyes faded, "I thought you wouldn't have asked so early."
"Even if you are not the owner of the cruise ship, your identity on the ship must be very special." Xu Ziyue licked his mouth, "So you know that I doubt you..." He still liked Auston's face very much, But that didn't conflict with his desire to know the truth.
"I'm the owner of the wheel. It's just that I didn't manage what they were supposed to do." Auston raised his finger and pointed to the card on Xu Ziyue's chest, "The seals on it, the bottom of each one is Westminster family crest."
Xu Ziyue opened the card and looked at it.
He knew before that the base map of those seals was the same, but he hadn't come to look closely. At this point, if you look closely, you can find its characteristics. The entire family emblem is composed of two parts: border and pattern. The pattern is composed of two fish-like snake-like animals intertwined end to end, and the border is a circle surrounded by complicated lines.
This pattern appears in many places on cruise ships. For example, on the hangings on the inner wall of the cabin, or on some of the utensils they have at hand.
Because it's so common, they haven't paid attention to it.
"You are letting your subordinates go..." Xu Ziyue said, looking at Auston.
Auston spread his hands, noncommittal.
Xu Ziyue looked at Auston angrily, but this emotion towards Auston's face could not last for three minutes at all.
"I'm not the same as them, even if I can control them." Auston looked at Xu Ziyue, with some emotions that Xu Ziyue couldn't understand in his eyes.
Xu Ziyue touched his nose, suddenly remembered something, and looked at Auston in horror, "You can't be human!"
Auston: "… "
Auston moved his fingers and asked, "What? Who do you know who is not a person?"
Since Xu Ziyue said "also", he must have known other non-human beings.
Xu Ziyue was a little confused, he shook his head, and what he said was a little out of place, "No, I mean... er, that's not right. What I think is that all the projects on the cruise ship are supernatural events, obviously like ghosts. You are their leader... Then aren't you? But you said that you are not the same as them... So you are still human, but you can control ghosts?"
Auston saw that Xu Ziyue avoided his question, but he did not pursue it. As for Xu Ziyue's speculations, Auston smiled and said, "They will listen to me, but they did things under my hands during their lifetime." He leaned forward slightly, took Xu Ziyue's hand and put it on his face "I'm not a ghost, can you feel the temperature when you touch it?"
“Coco Cocoa… ok!”
Xu Ziyue stuttered in panic.
"As for why not restrain them..." Auston lowered his eyes, his curled eyelashes trembling slightly, as if he was struggling, "because if you provoke them, under anger, even me... they won't listen to anyone."
Xu Ziyue was dizzy at being fooled, but he didn't realize anything was wrong for a while.
Xu Ziyue asked, "Then... Then what is the big gift you prepared, can you tell me in advance?"
Auston was taken aback for a moment, the corners of his mouth twitched, and a smile appeared, "I told you in advance, there would be no surprises."
Even if there was a big gift at the beginning, it has long since disappeared under the current circumstances. Oster, who had long ignored everything, didn't think anyone could get twenty seals alive. But now it's time to think about it.
After coming out of Auston's room, Xu Ziyue still felt that his head was dazed. He frowned for a long time while eating dinner in the restaurant.
The information revealed in Auston's words told Xu Ziyue something. Those who were at fault in those projects were the employees on the original ship, but they were all dead.
This is really weird... Are some of the current crew on the ship from the past, or are they all from the past
This kind of thing... Sure enough, you still have to ask the tour guide!
After Xu Ziyue finished dinner, he looked out the window and found that it was already dark. After thinking about it, he still plans to go to the tour guide tomorrow.
Even if nothing happens at night, it always makes people feel a little scary.
On the sixth day, Xu Ziyue got up early in the morning and went out after washing up.
When passing by the door of Auston's room, Xu Ziyue found that the door of the room was not closed tightly this time.
Xu Ziyue secretly stretched out a finger and opened the crack of the door a little more.
In the room, Auston lay quietly on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
"Auston? Are you asleep?" Xu Ziyue asked in a low voice, as if he was afraid of waking Auston.
"Really... It's easy to get into trouble if you don't close the door..." Xu Ziyue walked in, looked left and right, and then squatted down beside the bed.
Yesterday he touched Auston's face.
Today... Xu Ziyue quickly touched Auston's face and ran outside. By the way, he closed the door!
Xu Ziyue arrived at the main restaurant in a happy mood. He turned left and right, but he didn't see the tour guide, but ran into a player who lived with him on the tenth floor.
When the player saw Xu Ziyue, his face was full of surprise, and he said, "So you are still alive!"
Xu Ziyue's greeting stuck in his throat, he paused before nodding, and said, "Yes, yes, it's really not easy." Xu Ziyue himself felt that his tone was too perfunctory. But the player in front of him just didn't hear it, and nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, it's really tough. By the way, my name is Zhang Zhang, my surname is Gong Chang Zhang, and my name is Li Zaozhang."
"My name is Xu Ziyue." Xu Ziyue thought silently about how easy his name was to remember, and he asked Zhang Zhang more by the way, "By the way, have you seen our tour guide?"
"Guide? The one when we came up?"
Xu Ziyue nodded.
Zhang Zhang asked, "What are you doing with him?"
Xu Ziyue said, "I have something to ask him."
Zhang Zhang patted himself on the chest and said proudly, "Then you ask me! I have read all the books in the library, and I can't trouble me if I have any questions!"
"All... read all?" Xu Ziyue looked at Zhang Zhang in surprise.
Zhang Zhang shook his head, "Sigh, it took five days, and I came out on the sixth day today, only to find that the other two people who said they were going to be together later had an accident."
"… condolences."
Zhang Zhang shook his head, "It's alright, we just talked for two days. By the way, what do you want to ask? I'll see if I see it in the library."
Xu Ziyue was sure that the tour guide did not appear in the library, so he tried to ask Zhang Zhang what he wanted to know.
Xu Ziyue asked, "Do you know anything about the Westminster cruise ship?"
