Bai Leshui did not take the key because he had no intention of meeting Rong Zheng right now, at least not in his plan. The two threats that might expose his identity had been resolved. Next, Bai Leshui had to continue his work, return to the dance hall, and do what a prison guard team leader should do.
So he returned the key to Chapman and asked Chapman to take it back to Rong Zheng.
When they returned to the dance hall, the prison guards were eating sweetly with their lunch boxes. The aroma of food filled the dance hall, which greatly aroused the appetite of the players. Since entering this dungeon, players who played the role of prisoners have been eating dry rice and boiled vegetables with little salt every day. After eating vegetarian food for a long time, the smell of scrambled eggs will feel particularly sweet, not to mention the strong smell of fish in the prison guards' plates. Now it's lunch time again, they are hungry.
Bai Leshui saw several prisoners swallowing quietly, some of them stepped on the trap because of inattention. When Bai Leshui went upstairs from the corner stairs, he heard the conversation of several prisoners who were close to him.
"Dang it, I'm starving. Can I use the card to take away their food a?"
"Go if you want to, don't drag me down."
"Be patient ba, survive this level, and you will have food to eat tonight."
"How can I eat that rubbish? The potatoes last night were all boiled and watery, without any saltiness."
"I will definitely go to the store to order a roasted whole lamb when I go out."
Bai Leshui listened to players' low complaints, and came to the second floor expressionlessly, picked up the lunch box left for him by the prison guards, and ate while listening to the prison guards' jokes.
"How many left?" Bai Leshui asked red-haired Allen.
Allen: "Three, two were hit by flying knives in the vitals, one was particularly unlucky, the flying knife pierced his head from the back, he fell down without seeing anything. The man in blue clothes next to him was very lucky, the knife was supposed to pierce him, but the unlucky guy tripped himself and blocked the knife."
Bai Leshui looked in the direction Allen pointed, and a blond man came into his sight. The blond man was handsome, swaying his body on the dance floor to the soft music. He looked like everyone else, using random dance steps to avoid traps, but Bai Leshui, who could see the entire dance floor from the second floor, could see that it was not him avoiding the trap, but the trap that was avoiding him.
Every time the blond man panicked and went in a direction, the nail board in that direction would move away, and the flying knife would pass by where he went far away.
It must be the effect of the card. Just don't know what type of card it is, lucky type? Defense type? Or other special types?
Bai Leshui took out the information of the prisoners, flipped through them one by one, then found the information card corresponding to the blond man. Oka, a famous fraudster active in many countries, used pseudonyms including Fern, Shaw, Steven, Jose, etc. There are countless fake identities, and he defrauded a lot of things, money, reputation, creativity, even women. Tangible or intangible, as long as Oka wants to get it, he will get it through various scams, his means are very despicable. Many people committed suicide because of what he did. He can be regarded as a villain who has stained the blood of more than ten people in disguise.
The content registered on the information is simple and general, the crime committed is not suitable for that handsome face. That should be the character's face, not the player's own face ba. Bai Leshui thought absentmindedly.
After observing Oka, Bai Leshui divided his sight to other people. The players who persisted until noon all had their own ways of avoiding. Some people obviously strengthened their physical fitness and evaded the traps around them swiftly. Someone secretly held something in their hand, and every time she waved her arms, the traps close to her would quietly change their positions. Some people directly and roughly used the protective card. Every time the flying knife was about to stab him, it would be blocked by an invisible barrier then fall to the ground.
Bai Leshui glanced at the prison guards around him. They were staring at the field, but they turned a blind eye to some slightly strange phenomena.
Very good, he also pretended not to see it.
Two hours later, at about 1:30 in the afternoon, Bai Leshui yawned, then suddenly his body shook, and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Allen next to him helped him.
The whole room was shaking violently with the ship, Bai Leshui stood up suddenly with the wall. Here it comes, but it's a pity that it's during the day. If it's at night, the operation should be smoother.
But forget it, since we are here, let's start ba.
"What's going on?"
"Fuck, new trap?"
"Ah——"
The room was still shaking violently, then the next moment, it stopped, but it was obvious that the floor of the room was slightly tilted.
Bai Leshui suddenly stood up and shouted: "Everyone, don't move! The execution continues! I'll go check the situation! Allen, help me keep an eye on this side, I'll be back soon."
Bai Leshui's tough attitude scared all the prison guards. They all quieted down and nodded to indicate that they would obey Bai Leshui's command.
Bai Leshui hurriedly left the dance hall and glanced at the man in the bikini when he left. The man was not moved at all. He sat firmly on the chair and stared at the prisoners, as if the shaking of the boat just now was just an illusion.
After Bai Leshui came out, he met two prison guards who came out to check the situation. They were both team leaders. When they saw Bai Leshui, they immediately grabbed him and asked what was going on. Bai Leshui hurriedly shook his head: "I don't know. Have you seen Agatha ma?"
Both shook their heads.
"Li, you have taken over Agatha's position now. Have you seen the captain? Did the ship hit something? Will it sink?"
Bai Leshui also looked anxious: "I don't know. I met the captain once, but... I don't think a captain who always holds a bottle of wine can do anything. The captain's name is Bligh. Maybe he is in the captain's room. Anyway, let's go and see first."
The two prison guard team leaders had no choice but to nod.
The three of them came to the captain's room. The captain's room was not locked, and the three of them pushed the door in easily. This is below the real captain's room, Bligh has never been here. Of course, Bai Leshui would not remind them. The three of them looked at the dust in the room and the old and scrapped facilities, their faces were very ugly.
All the machines were damaged. It was impossible to operate the ship with these garbage, not to mention knowing what problems the ship had just encountered.
"Here...what's going on? Li, was it like this the last time you came ma?"
Bai Leshui shook his head quickly, looking innocent: "No, I don't know, I haven't been in. When I saw the captain, he was standing at the door of this room, holding a vodka in his hand. He didn't let me into the captain's room. After all, I'm not a crew member, I'm just a prison guard who manages prisoners."
His words made both of them believe it. One of them scratched his head and walked to the wide floor-to-ceiling glass window to look outside: "That, I think we don't need to be so nervous, maybe nothing happened ne. For example, the shaking of the ship just now was just an illusion. You see, the ship is still moving forward ne."
Bai Leshui and another prison guard looked at him expressionlessly.
Bai Leshui frowned: "This is not the time to comfort yourself. The ship is tilted, obviously tilted to the left. Is it usually like this ma? I think the ship must have hit something."
"What did it hit!" The self-comforting prison guard heard Bai Leshui say this and said angrily, "Iceberg ma? Don't you think about where this is and what season it is!"
"Hidden reef." Someone pushed open the captain's room and walked in. Bai Leshui looked over and had some impression of this person. He was a prison guard from Team 9. There were not many prison guards from Team 9 who survived, so he was easier to remember.
His name seemed to be...
"Hicks, what are you doing here? You are not even a prison guard now."
"Come and take a look." Hicks' brown eyes looked at the two people, then fell on Bai Leshui's face. "There are many hidden reefs nearby. There have been rumors of ships being wrecked nearby before. Someone in my family has worked on a cargo ship. I know a little about the sea and ships. The vibration just now was caused by the bottom of the ship hitting the reef. The ship is still sailing forward, which is very dangerous. This means that the bottom of the cabin was cut by the reef, not simply stranded after hitting it. If this continues, the ship will sink in about three hours."
The faces of the two prison guard team leaders were black.
"In addition, there is no lifeboat on this ship. I just went to see it, there is not a single lifeboat." Hicks said regretfully.
The two prison guard team leaders exploded at once.
"Are you asking us to die here ma?"
"How could there's none, I remember there's one or two."
"If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself." Hicks said.
"Li, what do you think we should do now?"
"If we can send a message, maybe we can ask for help?" Bai Leshui answered uncertainly.
"There is no network here. The message cannot be sent out. There is no signal on this ship. The videos that can be watched on TV are all stored on the client port. We can't send the information at all."
"And for some reason, the compass can't be used. We can't have walked to the front of this ship..."
No one answered him. Except for Bai Leshui and Rong Zheng, there was probably no one on this ship who was not panicking.
"What should I do now? I don't want to die yet a. I've already told my family that I can make a lot of money after this job, then I can open my own small shop and never have to do this again."
"Cry a fart, I don't want to die either... I've found the girl I like... I..."
Bai Leshui: "Don't panic, there may be a way. The most important thing now is not to cause panic. Don't tell anyone that the ship will sink. Just say that the ship encountered a little turbulence. I will go to find Agatha, or find a signaling machine. There is always a way to contact the shore. You help me go to the dance hall and tell them that I will be back soon."
"What if we can't be rescued ne? I have to hide it from everyone?"
Bai Leshui clenched his hands and whispered: "It would be great if we could be rescued. If not... at least I won't suffer too much before I die ba."
Sudden death, or knowing that I will die but having to wait for the future gradually, the latter is obviously more difficult to accept.
"The prison guards from other teams didn't come. If everything goes well, you can also go and say a word ba." Bai Leshui said.
Both of them agreed, then left the captain's room one after the other.
After watching the two disappear from sight, the person behind Bai Leshui slowly stepped forward, put his arm on Bai Leshui's waist, and whispered in his ear: "Since you are going to die, why not be more happy with me before you die?"
Bai Leshui: "Aren't you happy enough ma?"
Hicks: "... Did you recognize?"
Bai Leshui: "You didn't mean to pretend at all."
Rong Zheng, who used a card to disguise himself as Hicks, smiled and kissed his ear: "I'm glad you recognized me so quickly."
Bai Leshui put his finger on Rong Zheng's forehead, pushed him back, and whispered: "Where is Chapman ne?"
"He went back, he will definitely not appear in front of McPhail today."
"So confident? What did you do? Use a card to control him?"
"No, I won't waste the card on someone so easy to control. I just said something to him."
"What?"
Rong Zheng looked into Bai Leshui's eyes, with ambiguity in his voice: "I said, I want to lie on your bed, smell your breath and shoot a few times, and ask him if he wants to visit, he just ran away."
Bai Leshui: ...
The author has something to say:
Bai Leshui: What card did you use?
Rong Zheng: [I stole your identity], you used it in the train copy. (Resentment)
Bai Leshui:...Ah.
Thinking of it, he used this card to change his character's identity, pretending to be a young girl NPC, sold Rong Zheng and Wu Xuanyuan who entered the game with him at that time, in exchange for two bottles of wine.
Bai Leshui: Ahaha, ahahaha, ahahahaha... (awkward laugh)
___________________
Bai Leshui asked to conceal it, saying that it was a wrong operation not to cause panic. The ship would not stop sinking, staying there without knowing anything would only waste time to escape. However, if the goal was to eliminate the whole group together, it was the right operation, hahahahahaha.
