The black-haired guest got a positive answer from the captain, he nodded with satisfaction, and walked back with Ge Zhu.
Before they took two steps, they heard a commotion from the civilian passage. Jiang Luo looked back, and it turned out that a crew member roughly threw a civilian off the boat. The man smashed into the sea and crawled to the shore in embarrassment.
The crew is majestic and majestic, and their faces are full of flesh. He grabbed the side of the boat and yelled at the poor man who fell into the water: "You dare to board the boat without a ticket. Get out of here. If you let me see you again, I will beat you once again!"
The poor man who climbed to the shore was punched in the face, his nose bleed all over his face, he timidly shrank, and then summoned up his courage: "I have a ticket, but you tore it up—"
The crew sneered, "How dare you lie?"
The poor man who was thrown off the boat stayed in a daze for a while, then stopped making trouble and left in a daze.
A crew member next to Jiang Luo said: "His name is Cheng Li. He is the most bad-tempered one on our ship. He is also a bastard who abandons his wife and daughter. He likes to bully the poor the most, and he is full of bullshit lies. If the guest has something to do, it is best not to find him."
Below, Cheng Li spat into the water and walked away cursing.
Jiang Luo and Ge Zhu said goodbye to the crew after watching the excitement. On the way, Ge Zhu asked, "Jiang Luo, did the first officer named Winston really harass you?"
Hearing this, Jiang Luo, who was originally looking very angry, unexpectedly showed a smile.
Jiang Luo discovered a secret of the evil spirit.
To say it's a secret is actually more of a joke. The evil spirits who have desires for him don't seem to know how to express their desires.
When examining him, although the evil spirit's movements were provocative and ambiguous, there were always some unreasonable desires running around in the palm of his hand. On the surface of the evil ghost, he smiled lightly and with ease, but Jiang Luo could feel his gloomy inner irritability that had nowhere to vent.
How ridiculous.
Chi You, an evil spirit so powerful that he seems to be omnipotent and omnipotent, a man in power of the Chi family with deep scheming and huge plans - he can't even do/love.
When he found out about this, Jiang Luo almost didn't laugh out loud.
He laughed at Chi You in his heart, and Jiang Luo regretted the words Chi You once said to him that made him feel a sudden sense of crisis.
Why did he use the life-saving charm when he was in the alley? In that case, it is estimated that Chi You didn't know how to get on. At most, he followed the vague sex scene on TV and touched him randomly a few times. What a pity, what a pity, a life-saving charm was wasted in vain!
Jiang Luoluo suppressed the smile in Ge Zhu's strange eyes, he coughed lightly, and opened the door: "His actions make me very uncomfortable, forget it, don't talk about him."
Ge Zhu followed him in. After Jiang Luo closed the door, he relaxed completely, slumped on the sofa and said, "It's really tiring to have money."
Ge Zhu has a Buddha spirit on his body, and he is so refined that he seems not to be stained with the smell of copper. In order to change his temperament, he also specially put on several large gold chains, which made his neck hurt.
Jiang Luo walked to the balcony, and Ge Zhu took off the gold chain, exhaled happily, and followed. Looking down, more than half of the people who boarded the boat have come up.
They watched for a while, and Ge Zhu said, "Strange..."
"Why didn't I see the children in the boarding crowd?"
Jiang Luo frowned and looked at everyone carefully, "There are really no children."
Ge Zhu's eyes suddenly lit up and he pointed down, "Look, Wen Renlian and the others have boarded the boat."
Jiang Luo looked at the civilian passage, and several companions had already stepped onto the boat.
They returned indoors from the balcony, and Ge Zhu saw an invitation and a black box on the coffee table. He picked it up and read it again, "Jiang Luo, here is an invitation to a dance party."
Jiang Luo walked over to take the invitation and read it again.
On the Angonese, even if the electronics are lacking, there is definitely plenty of entertainment for the wealthy.
Tonight, on the day the Angonese sails, there will be a ball in the ballroom. Both the rich and the common people can participate in this dance. But there is a strange rule. The rich need to wear half a mask and draw lots with the commoners before the dance starts. If they draw a card with a crown pattern, it means they become the "master" of the dance. To a card with a chain pattern, it becomes a "slave".
The master has the right to choose the slave, but the slave has no right to refuse the master's choice.
The rules are bold, but the invitation is only an invitation, not forcing everyone to join.
But if added, it is regarded as the default rule.
Jiang Luo thought thoughtfully, "I guess you also have such an invitation in your room."
Ge Zhu went back to the room to have a look, and soon, he brought the same invitation letter and a silver box, "You guessed it right, the content of my invitation letter is exactly the same as yours."
The two opened the box, and inside was a mask covering the upper half of their face.
In the Jiang Luo box is a black mask. The ruby embellishes a blooming fiery red rose on the side face, and the black feathers are nailed to the ears, which is mysterious and luxurious, like an aristocratic accessory in Western mythology.
He gently picked up the mask and looked sideways at Ge Zhu's box. In Ge Zhu's box is a silver mask, the style is much simpler than the one in Jiang Luo's hands.
Ge Zhu said uncertainly: "Jiang Luo, are we going to the dance tonight? This lottery rule doesn't give me a good feeling."
"I don't feel very good, but I still have to participate," Jiang Luo shrugged, hiding the curiosity and excitement arising from this kind of rule, "Understanding the secrets of this ship, can you find out what the blood eel is. What's more. What's more, at the dance, it's the best time for us to meet Lu Yi and the others."
Ge Zhu sighed and was worried, "Then I hope we can draw a good lottery." Jiang Luo heard the words, and his excitement suddenly stagnated.
If he is lucky... Can he draw the main card
But how can anyone be unlucky all the time? Jiang Luo persuaded himself that maybe he had already transferred, otherwise how could he get a ticket from the rich
Thinking of this, he stabilized again.
While they were resting, a few people from Lu also returned to their rooms.
The space in the ordinary room is small, the beds are crowded, and it is a two-person room. There are only three free bottles of mineral water in each room, and there are no other things for the rest.
Lu Yi shared a room with Ye Xun, Wen Renlian shared a room with Zhuo Zhongqiu, and Kuang Zheng shared a room with Seriel.
After they put their things away, they stood by the door, watching the people who came and went looking for the room.
"Here, here, you are wrong!"
"Who's shoe was stepped on? Come and take it."
The shouts and noises were mixed, and the six people gathered in one room, and also saw the invitation to the dance.
"Are you going?" Zhuo Zhongqiu asked.
Wen Renlian read the contents of the invitation letter and nodded slowly.
"I think I'm going too," Zhuo Zhongqiu said, sitting beside the bed, "I just walked around the stern, but when I wanted to go to the bow, I was stopped by the crew. They prohibited civilians from entering the bow, according to them. It is said that there is an area of activity for the rich."
"What era is this, and such a serious classification is still carried out," Lu Yi mumbled, "There are still so many people who can endure this kind of discrimination rushing to get on the boat."
"That's why it's weird," Wen Renlian said with a smile. "The poor people board the ship, most likely for the money. But it's just a cruise ship. They sail into the deep sea and come back. What benefits can they get from it? risk of death?"
Kuangzheng suddenly said, "They don't necessarily know that they will die."
"That's right," Wen Ren snapped his fingers. "Tonight's dance divides people into two identities. One is 'master' and the other is 'slave'. These two words have many meanings. Perhaps These poor people who board the ship are just slaves in the eyes of the rich, and the poor have no idea where the cruise ship’s destination is and what they are going to do.”
"We still don't know anything about the rich areas. According to Zhongqiu, the activity areas of the rich and the poor do not overlap. We can't go to the rich areas to find Jiang Luo and them, and we can't wait for them to risk being stared at. Come to us with the risk of going up. This dance is the only place where we can reasonably meet."
Seryol nodded in understanding, "Can we also draw the master card?"
Ye Xun said lightly: "It is highly unlikely."
This dance is obviously an entertainment event for the rich.
*
The Angonese set sail.
The coastline gradually receded, passing a cargo ship after another. The water in the port was cloudy and yellow, but gradually, the water turned a deep blue.
Seagulls hovered above the cruise ship, the wind howled, Jiang Luo's clothes were blown, and he looked at the deck from a distance.
There were already many people standing on the deck, watching the sea around the railing. Several other crew members walked past, checking lifebuoys and ropes.
On the sea, time is gradually confused. The rich man's room has clocks and newspapers and magazines, as well as boring board games and poker. Jiang Luo and Ge Zhu played games to pass the time, and went to eat a buffet. When seven o'clock in the evening came, I changed into my clothes and went to the ballroom.
Night fell, and dark clouds covered the starry sky.
The ballroom is bright and dazzling, and the crowds are staggered in it, drinking happily, prosperous and lively.
Jiang Luo and Ge Zhu put on masks, covering half of their faces. The waiter in front of the door saw their masks, and respectfully put the lottery box in his hand on the table, picked up another lottery box and handed it over, "Two guests please."
Jiang Luo gave Ge Zhu a look and encouraged him to go first. Ge Zhu swallowed his saliva, his heart was blessed with immeasurable gods, and he closed his eyes and drew out a card.
Jiang Luo, "What is it?"
Ge Zhu opened one eye, turned the card over tremblingly, and breathed a sigh of relief in the next moment, "Crown card."
Represents becoming the "master" who takes the initiative.
Jiang Luo silently glanced at the card in his hand, suppressing the dangerous idea that he wanted to take it away, and looked at the waiter, "Did anyone draw a slave card in this box of lottery cards?"
The waiter smiled and said, "Not yet."
Jiang Luo felt relieved for the time being. He put his hand into the lottery box and selected a card. Just as he was about to take it out, another hand also reached into the box. White-gloved fingers intertwined with Jiang Luo's fingers, and cards the size of playing cards piled up beside their hands.
Jiang Luo raised his head, and behind him, a man wearing a pure white mask looked extraordinarily treacherous, showing a tall nose and a pale chin. He evoked a pleasant smile, and under the night, his dark blue eyes looked like dark eyes and looked at Jiang Luo through the mask.
"First mate," the waiter bent down, "you can't draw lots at the same time."
"Shh," the man raised his other hand to his lips, "you didn't see anything."
The waiter stopped talking and acquiesced to the man's behavior.
"Guest, I think you picked the wrong card," the first mate looked at Jiang Luo, some kind of bad teasing from the corner of his charming mouth, he said slowly, "You can choose this one."
In the lottery box that no one could see, an itchy circle was drawn on Jiang Luo's palm by a card.
The author has something to say: Jiang Luo: ... poof
It's not interesting, I think it's funny that you can't even tease people
