The dance party before nightfall was still held as scheduled.
Tonight's dance partner, Chris, was more enthusiastic than last night. When dancing, she almost stuck to Shen Yu's body.
Shen Yu frowned slightly, and moved away carefully.
"Dear gentleman, do you like me? Do you want to be with me?"
Chris leaned forward, blushing, and asked the question like a spell: "Do you... want to join us?"
Shen Yu frowned suddenly.
He thought of the tragic situation of the couple during the day, and he didn't refuse immediately, but he didn't answer directly, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Chris, thank you for your invitation."
"It is my honor to be able to take the "White Angel"! This journey is so luxurious and beautiful, as beautiful as the golden hair on your forehead, shining brightly."
"Chris, you are so gorgeous, you are the center of the whole ball!"
The girl didn't hear the answer she wanted.
But after listening to this far-fetched flattery, Chris, who was already flushed, was even more moved at this time, her eyes almost filled with tears of excitement: "Mr. Gentleman, you are always so considerate."
Shen Yu with a stiff smirk: "..."
Never would I have thought that I would have the potential to be a scumbag!
Probably because she was in a very happy mood, Chris took light dance steps, accompanied by the melody of the music at the dance, and couldn't help humming softly: "...My name is Chris, and I want to play a game with you."
"I can't see you, but I can smell your breath."
"I can't hear you, but I can feel your breath."
"Come hide and seek with me! Be careful not to let me catch you."
"Stay with me! From now on."
"Don't move, don't breathe, hide your shadow."
"Hush! I'm coming for you..."
Along with her dancing steps, she kept humming this ditty until the end of the dance.
After finally surviving the difficult dance, after everyone returned to their room, Shen Yu quietly opened the black book.
After hearing Chris' ditty just now, the cover of this book has been burning hot.
This usually means that he has encountered a new clue.
[A group of travelers take a cruise ship and embark on a wonderful journey.]
[Will they find their purpose?]
[Or fell into the abyss of the sea?]
[The game of hide and seek, which party do you want to join?]
[Be careful, if you choose the wrong one, you will die!]
Looking at the development of the plot in the book, Shen Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.
Everyone who stepped into the cruise ship wore bracelets of different colors from the very beginning, clearly distinguishing their ranks.
But according to the hints given in the book, they still need to choose a different camp
He held his breath and pondered carefully, as if he wanted to find the link between different clues.
But as the night outside the window deepened, an unstoppable feeling of drowsiness enveloped his heart again.
My vision blurred again...
No, not right!
Shen Yu woke up suddenly, took out a small and sharp scalpel, and held it tightly in his hand.
The sharp blade cut through the palm, blood oozes out, and a sharp pain rises, finally driving away the drowsiness entrenched in his mind.
He exhaled lightly, slowly spread his palms, and looked at the blood-stained blade with complicated eyes.
This scalpel was given to him by Yue Ze when he first entered the story.
He closed his eyes tightly, then opened them again, his eyes gradually firmed up.
Now, it's time to get out.
…
The night was still dark, Shen Yu carefully locked the doors and windows behind him, and went to the destination alone.
From a distance, I saw Starscream standing at the appointed place bored, wearing a fiery red dress, looming in the blurred night.
But at this time, her complexion was not very good-looking.
Because beside her, there are two men who keep circling her.
A boy who looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, with slightly dark skin, showing a healthy bronze color, messy hair on his forehead, lively and full of curiosity.
There was also a slightly older man, about twenty-seven or eighty-eight years old, with a rather handsome appearance, and he was extraordinarily attentive following Starscream's ass, he should be a fanatical suitor.
Starscream's face was icy cold, and only slightly eased up when Shen Yu appeared.
"These two are..." Shen Yu stopped and asked vigilantly.
Starscream's face darkened: "Two followers who can't be driven away have been watching my every move. When they saw me going out at night, they took the initiative to stick to me, hoping to take the opportunity to get some clues to clear the level."
She really wanted to use violence to get the two of them to leave, but the night on the cruise ship was too quiet, as long as there was a slight movement, something else would be attracted, making their lurking effort fall short.
Otherwise, she would have done it long ago!
But after hearing her words, the older suitor was not very happy: "Goddess, you have been waiting for this kid for a long time?"
He glanced at Shen Yu with contemptuous eyes, and introduced himself arrogantly: "My pen name is Aolong, and I am number 67 on the White Tower Stele. May I ask your pen name and your ranking on the stele?"
Shen Yu looked calm: "The pen name is Mint Tang, a newcomer who has just started, a nobody, not worth mentioning."
Novelist Aolong sneered: "Sure enough, he's a dragging waste!"
He looked at Starscream, his expression suddenly changed, and he changed his attitude as if he changed his face: "Goddess, what are you doing with this oil bottle? My strength is stronger than his, and my use value is greater than his!"
"If you want to take in a follower, I am willing to be used by you!"
He seemed to be pouring out affectionately, his tone even carried a sense of tragedy of sacrificing his life for love, and looking at the expression on Starscream's face... she seemed to be about to vomit!
Aolong, the suitor, is still entangled with shamelessness. On the other side, the bronze-skinned boy, his eyes are shining, he leaned forward: "I seem to have seen you before!"
"You are the novelist who discovered the rules hiding in the dance hall on the top floor on the first day and defeated several people in one go. What is your name..."
"Mints!" Shen Yu had to repeat.
"Brother Tang!" The young man rushed forward, his eyes were filled with excitement, "You are also amazing! Can I follow you?"
"Don't worry, I'm also a novelist, and I won't hold back. My pseudonym is Good Night, which means Good Night in English!" The chatty boy introduced himself familiarly.
Shen Yu: "..."
He finally understood Starscream's mood a little bit.
These are all posted upside down with some messy people!
Aolong on the other side is still chattering, trying to belittle Shen Yu and sell himself to the goddess.
A slender steel wire was pulled up suddenly, like a real spider's silk, and stuck to his tongue.
Starscream, who was finally unbearable, said coldly: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will make you speechless for the rest of your life."
Feeling the cold killing intent on the tip of his tongue, Aolong suddenly turned pale, sweated profusely, and nodded like a pounding garlic.
Seeing his cowardly appearance, Good Night quietly leaned into Shen Yu's ear, and whispered, "Actually, I don't know him, but we both wanted to hug Goddess Starscream's thigh, and we happened to bump into each other."
"Brother Tang, don't misunderstand me, this guy and I are not in the same group!"
Shen Yu: "..."
No, your wonderful work is not much less than his!
At this moment, there was a sudden sound in the distance.
The few people fell silent immediately, and quickly hid in the corner of the cabin.
A bearded white male walked slowly, wearing a white uniform, looking back and forth as he walked.
Shen Yu recognized that this person was the first mate Jack who had been presiding over the ball all the time.
On this ship, even the first officer has to patrol at night
It seemed that they hadn't found any traces of them at all, first mate Jack just kept looking around, walking all the way, turning on the ship lights in the corridor along the way.
The harsh and bright lights dispelled the surrounding darkness, and almost exposed where several people were hiding.
Several people suddenly concentrated and held their breath.
But after doing all this, first mate Jack left here as if he didn't notice anything, and went to the next cabin.
It's just that before he left, he seemed to have inadvertently glanced at the direction where they were hiding.
"What is this old white man doing?"
When the other party walked away, Aolong breathed a sigh of relief and whispered.
"Hush!"
Shen Yu's expression froze suddenly, and he covered the opponent's mouth: "Something is coming!"
Just far away from the cabin, there was a faint sound of water droplets.
It seems to be the movement of amphibians crawling, mixed with the sound of sticky water dripping, something is panting heavily, dragging its heavy body, and moving over bit by bit.
Under the guidance of the bright ship lights, a slow-moving behemoth slowly appeared in front of everyone.
Pale to bloodless sticky skin, humanoid body, twisted and slender limbs, translucent webs between fingers and toes, no eyes or ears, only a pale and swollen face.
Shen Yu's face changed slightly.
This monster is the water ghost in his previous dream!
At this time, the water ghost was crawling on the ground, moving its limbs slowly, sniffing its nose like a dog, as if sniffing something.
[I can't see you, but I can smell your breath.]
[I can't hear you, but I can feel your breath.]
[Come hide and seek with me! Be careful not to let me catch you...]
Inadvertently, Shen Yu suddenly remembered the song that Chris sang at the ball before.
This water ghost seems to be looking for targets based on its sense of smell.
At this time, the water ghost was getting closer and closer to their hiding place, and with its nostrils raised, it came straight towards them.
Suddenly there was a soft sound in my ear.
Looking up, he saw that Starscream had already used his steel wire to wrap around the fence of the upper cabin, and almost silently climbed to the top cabin, passing by the water ghost that was about to come.
And the boy named Wan An also activated his skills to open a dark barrier beside him.
"Brother Tang, my skill can temporarily block the senses of all the monsters in the story, and it can hold two people, so you can come in and hide."
Although it was only the first time they met, the young man seemed to have an extraordinary affection for Shen Yu, and directly invited him in a low voice to escape.
But before Shen Yu could answer, Aolong's face turned serious, and suddenly pushed him away fiercely, forcing himself to squeeze into the barrier of good night.
"grass!"
Good night exclaimed.
What was even more unlucky was that because of Aolong's fierce push, Shen Yu was immediately pushed out from his hiding place, and was directly exposed to the glare of the ship's lights.
As for the wet and sticky water ghost, the tip of its nose was raised at this time, and it approached Shen Yu in front of him, sniffing gently.
