"Why do you suddenly ask about William?" Bai Leshui's eyes were full of obvious vigilance.
This expression made David believe that he had not asked the wrong person this time, he quickly asked: "I didn't see him today. Did he disappear like Agatha?"
Bai Leshui: "This is not something you should care about. If you have time to pursue useless questions, you might as well leave here quickly. At least before you die, you can still take a last look at the sky." Bai Leshui quickened his pace and walked up the stairs. David chased after him, still asking questions.
Bai Leshui didn't answer a word, his pace was getting faster and faster. After leaving the stairs and going upstairs, he stopped and looked at David with a cold face.
"What do you want to say?"
"...William is the mastermind of the shipwreck?" Stared at by Bai Leshui's cold eyes, David slowly uttered this sentence. The cruise ship must have been sunk by a ghost. If William is a ghost, then the sinking of this ship is naturally inseparable from William.
Now he only needs one supporting evidence. If the team leader of the prison guards nods and confirms that William has indeed disappeared, he can report William as a ghost and leave this copy.
Bai Leshui smiled: "The prisoner who knows nothing is really brave to guess a. William doesn't have that ability. Sinking the ship? What good will it do him ma?"
David: Because he is a ghost.
Because he is a ghost, he will do this.
David: "Did he really disappear?"
"He died." Bai Leshui said coldly.
David: ...? ?
Bai Leshui sneered: "It's good news for you ba, the death of a prison guard."
David: No, this is bad news a.
This means that his previous inference was wrong again.
"Dead? How is that possible? He is the deputy team leader of the prison guards, how could he die?"
Bai Leshui: "How should I know? I went to look for him this morning, but he didn't come out for a long time. When I broke in, I found a dead body!"
"Then why do you say he is not feeling well?"
Bai Leshui looked at him with contempt: "Say it right then and there, let you laugh at me?"
David: ...
"What about the murderer ne?"
"Who knows." Bai Leshui said, "I was supposed to report to the higher authorities today and check the list of people on board. Now it's not necessary. Maybe we can go downstairs to see him and ask who did it ne."
This joke is not funny at all, at least David definitely can't laugh.
The problem has gone around and returned to the starting point.
"Go to the deck." David said, he quickened his pace to find the stairs to go upstairs.
He still had to go to the deck to confirm it clearly. It doesn't matter. Even if the ship sinks, as long as the damage is not fatal, he will not be thrown out of the copy. So even if he is floating on the sea, he can still struggle. But being trapped in the boat and taken to the sea is not certain.
Bai Leshui followed closely behind, his expression gloomy. Then suddenly he paused and looked into the depths of the corridor beside him. There was a person standing there. Bai Leshui squinted his eyes to identify him. He recognized the other person's face and was about to go over with joy in his heart, but then he remembered what David had said before and stood there hesitantly.
David had already walked away more than ten meters quickly. His mind was full of information that William was dead, he did not notice the pause of the person behind him.
Bai Leshui pointed to the front, tapped his lips, and scratched his neck with his finger, then followed David closely.
He believed Rong Zheng could understand.
Just as he thought, Rong Zheng understood.
Killing to silence the witness, the player guessed the ghost thing, which might be very close to the truth.
Originally he planned to come down to take a look, and got this news by accident. But it doesn't matter, he has a countermeasure.
The sky outside the corridor window has begun to lightning, the wind and waves are getting stronger, and the ship has begun to shake violently. It was only two floors away from the top deck, but the water had already flooded here.
There was a thunder, and heavy rain began to fall from the sky. The bottom of the cabin was leaking, and the deck was flooded. Nothing could be worse than this. David thought to himself. Then just after this thought came to his mind, the lights in the corridor flashed twice and went out.
Very good, something worse happened.
Many corridors in the cruise ship have no windows, so for lighting, the lights are on even during the day, in the current weather, the sunlight is blocked. Now that the lights are off, the surroundings become pitch black, making it difficult to tell where the road is.
David stumbled forward and suddenly felt something pulling his ankle, and fell to the ground with a bang.
The thing holding his ankle seemed to be a hand, but it was dry and hard, rough like dry bark.
David struggled for a while and broke free from this 'hand'. Bai Leshui caught up at this time. He did not leave David alone, but stretched out his hand to pull him up: "Don't lie here and get in the way, get up."
David: "Something just grabbed me."
Bai Leshui: "Ah? Grabbed you? There's nothing here."
David looked up at Bai Leshui and was about to say something, but he met a pair of eyes. It was a pair of green eyes, the whites and pupils could not be distinguished. Only a turbid green could be seen, it was strangely uneven. It looked like mold, and also a bit like the kind of thing attached to a sunken ship for many years.
No 'person' was seen, it seemed that only the pair of eyes were floating in the darkness, which made people feel more frightened.
David shuddered, Bai Leshui looked at him with a puzzled look, controlling himself not to look back, trying to act like he knew nothing.
Even though Bai Leshui had seen the vaguely protruding human body shape on the wall of the corridor.
This is a ghost ship. Even if he had known this fact for a long time, he would not have felt it more intuitively now.
It was definitely because of the power outage.
The boat was hit by the waves and swayed again. The two people lost their balance and swayed together, almost hitting the wall.
David, who was holding Bai Leshui tightly, swallowed and said, "Let's go ba."
He didn't see anything. He hoped it wasn't a monster that would chase him.
David turned his head and ran. The eyes didn't follow him, but just stared at his back, as if to say that none of you can escape.
No one can be saved from a shipwreck.
Just like them who were lost in the foggy sea.
[Where to go...]
As the two ran away, the protruding human figure in the corridor began to move, struggling to stretch out his arms.
[Knowing clearly that there is no place to go.]
The voices of men and women, old people and children overlapped.
[Stay, together with us.]
Bai Leshui and David's steps became faster and faster.
[On this ship, it is eternal life.]
It seemed that there was a song, like the seductive voice of a siren on the sea.
No one paid attention, the two of them were getting faster and faster, and gradually, they saw a hazy light.
By accident, they actually came to the top deck very smoothly.
The storm was crackling, with the sound of thunder and lightning, the sound of waves, and the sound of rain. It covered the angry roars of the desperate escapees on the deck.
Many players felt that they could not play this game anymore, so they jumped into the sea and eliminated themselves. Some still insisted at the end, even though it was impossible to use the smoke bomb for help in this weather. Others stood on a high place and sang loudly, shouting 'I'm the king the world', completely letting themselves go just to enjoy the feeling of a sinking ship.
This is definitely Titanic movie addiction. It's too late to shout, it should be before the sinking of the ship!
As for NPCs, some knelt on the deck to pray, some cried and laughed, some gathered together to talk about the good and bad things they had done before, asking who had the chance to go to heaven.
In short, the dividing line between players and NPCs is quite clear. Now count them, there are no more than a hundred people on the deck, and NPCs are probably no more than half.
Who could it be?
David looked among all the NPCs, and focused all his attention on a team of prison guards.
Everyone looks like one, then no one looks like one.
Just guess straightfowardly?
The deck at the bow was already under the sea, suddenly the stern was lifted violently, the deck changed the slope with the sea surface. Many people slipped all the way and some unfortunately fell into the sea.
David, who was immersed in thinking, also fell on the deck. The deck wet by rain was very slippery. He slid forward along the deck for a long time before hitting the edge of the railing and stopped.
Close call, he almost fell down.
David stood up slowly with the help of the railing, and looked up to see Bai Leshui. He was supported by a strange man, standing in a safe place in the middle, whispering something.
David had an idea, then the next second, a man suddenly jumped out from behind and strangled his neck. The man was holding a knife in his hand, shining silver.
"No one can stop me, no one can." Chapman, who caught David, said angrily, "I know who you are, don't try to kill me. I will live longer than you."
Before the knife cut his throat, David tried to look at Bai Leshui, then he saw the man standing not far away, tilting his head and looking at him, with a strange smile on his lips.
Then his eyes went black, David was eliminated from the copy.
Even if he figured everything out at the last second, it was too late.
David: Damn.
The ghost turned out to be you a!
The author has something to say:
David: Don't ghosts always hide and do things in secret ma? Why is he so high-profile?
Bai Leshui: Occupational disease has come on.
How can he become famous without making a high-profile appearance? He used to be an actor.
