It should be sunset on the surface, so most of the lights in the Sea Conqueror had dimmed. After they left the atmosphere, no matter when they looked out, they could only see endless darkness. The people who relied on the light to adjust their biological clocks, after simulating the night in the ship, also fell asleep in their respective rooms — except for those who had to avoid being seen and heard to move.
Lin Sanjiu walked out from the corner of the corridor and sighed softly.
She wandered aimlessly in the Sea Conqueror for half a day. She tried to ask the posthumans about 12 or Luther, but the answers she got were either ambiguous or unhelpful. It was already midnight on the surface, and it had been a while since she posted her message. Lin Sanjiu thought for a while and decided to try her luck. She wanted to see if anyone would respond to her message.
Mrs. Manas had told her that no matter how evolved a person was, they would always be interested in certain topics.
She hoped that her message could capture the attention of the people.
She walked toward the direction of the notice board in her memory. The Sea Conqueror was too big and the terrain was too complicated. Even though she had memorized the map with her higher consciousness, she didn't know which fork she had taken. When she realized that she had taken a wrong turn, she didn't even know where she was.
After searching for a long time, Lin Sanjiu finally confirmed that there was a café not far away from her. When she walked closer, she saw a faint light coming from under the door of the café.
"Who's drinking coffee at this hour?"
Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. Instinctively, she activated her [No Coincidence, No Story]. "If this ability works …" Lin Sanjiu pushed the door open with a faint hope in her heart.
Then, Lin Sanjiu sighed inwardly.
As expected, her luck wasn't that good. The moment she entered the café, she saw 12. In fact, it was a bloated, dark-skinned, middle-aged man. The back of his head was facing Lin Sanjiu. The sudden bang seemed to have startled him. When he turned his head, he almost spilled the coffee in his hand.
"I'm sorry," Lin Sanjiu shot a glance at him. Somehow, she felt that he looked a little familiar. But then again, all fat middle-aged men looked the same … Lin Sanjiu couldn't remember where she had seen him before. She nodded at the man and closed the door again.
She looked down at the crack in the door. The coffee room was still lit quietly.
Speaking of which, the Nocturnal Wanderer seemed to be very confident in the people on her ship. There were no night patrols or surveillance cameras here, so she could move freely without anyone noticing. But to avoid questions and suspicions, it was better for her to keep a low profile.
She had only taken a few steps when she heard the door of the coffee room open behind her. Lin Sanjiu turned around and saw the middle-aged man closing the door with his head lowered. When his eyes met Lin Sanjiu's, they immediately parted ways. He hesitated for a moment before he walked toward Lin Sanjiu.
Lin Sanjiu thought that he had something to say, but she could only watch as he walked past her.
For the next ten minutes or so, the two of them traveled the same way. On the quiet, long platform, the two of them turned and went up and down the platform together. Soon, Lin Sanjiu was the first to break the awkwardness. She caught up with the man and asked softly, "Are you going to the bulletin board too?"
The man seemed to be startled by her again. Although he already knew that she was not far away, his shoulders still stiffened. Lin Sanjiu couldn't help thinking of her grand prize when she saw his easily frightened personality.
"Ah, yes …" he replied to the tip of his shoe as if he didn't dare to raise his head.
Lin Sanjiu tactfully kept her mouth shut. She followed the man into the bulletin board quietly. After that, the two of them separated from each other. Both of them were surrounded by light blue vein-shaped halos.
Lin Sanjiu did receive many replies, but none of them were useful.
"I don't think I've seen such a person ever since I boarded the ship. He's such a scumbag! I'm speechless — "
"No way. Is there such a stupid woman who survived until now in this apocalyptic world? How could she be pinched by a man like that? "
"Humans are emotional creatures. They can't be so tense all their lives …"
"It's a pity for a good woman. Why don't you take a look at this message? An old-school gentleman is looking for a partner … "
Lin Sanjiu sighed and turned off all the replies. After she left, she saw many new messages. At first glance, many of them were discussing the attack on the Munitions Factory and the heaven district. Lin Sanjiu frowned. "It seems like the Nocturnal Wanderer doesn't think this is a secret.
Won't it cause panic? "
Lin Sanjiu didn't read too much. She grabbed the messages one by one and swiped them to the left, out of her sight. "Since I didn't get anything, I might as well go back and have a good rest …" Lin Sanjiu was exhausted and needed some sleep.
The dark-skinned man seemed to have the same thought as her. Before Lin Sanjiu could move, he turned around and walked to the exit on the other side of the bulletin board. The man purposely chose not to use the exit that was closer to Lin Sanjiu. When she turned around and was about to leave, she saw him looking back at her from the corner of her eyes.
He probably felt relieved when he realized that Lin Sanjiu was leaving. He waited for a few seconds before he walked toward the automatic door.
When he stopped, Lin Sanjiu walked out of the door behind her. However, before the door completely closed, she slid back in silently. She leaned against the wall and watched as the automatic door slowly closed. The man seemed to be completely at ease. He was still standing in front of the other exit and pulled out a large, bulging box from somewhere.
He crouched down and opened the box. Then, he took out a … a vacuum cleaner.
It was normal for him to take out a gun, but the vacuum cleaner seemed to be just a vacuum cleaner. The man pulled out the pipe and started the motor. Amidst the rumbling sound of the motor, the suction head extended out of the door. The poor automatic door, which opened and closed every time it was about to close, retracted because it sensed that someone was there.
The man sucked on the floor for twenty minutes. Lin Sanjiu also observed him carefully for twenty minutes. Starting from the floor near the door, the man gradually moved away. He didn't dare to miss any corner. Finally, he walked further and further away. She couldn't even hear the sound of the vacuum cleaner anymore.
"He can't be a cleaner, can he?
There are so many suspicious people on this airship... "
Lin Sanjiu shook her head and sighed at the twenty minutes she had wasted. She turned around and walked out of the door. This time, she really left.
It should be sunset on the surface. The lights on Sea Conqueror had dimmed. After they left the atmosphere, no matter when they looked out, there was only endless darkness. The people who depended on the brightness of the lights to adjust their biological clocks had fallen asleep in their rooms after simulating the night in the airship. Other than those who had to avoid being seen or heard, Lin Sanjiu sighed.
Lin Sanjiu walked out from the corner of the corridor and sighed softly.
She wandered aimlessly in the airship for half a day. She tried to ask the posthumans about 12 or Luther, but the answers she got were either ambiguous or unhelpful.

After searching for a long time, Lin Sanjiu finally confirmed that there was a café not far away from her. When she walked closer, she saw a faint light coming from under the door of the café.
"Who's drinking coffee at this hour?"
Her heart suddenly thumped twice, and she subconsciously opened [No Coincidence, No Story]. "If this ability works …" Lin Sanjiu pushed the door open with a faint hope in her heart.
Then, Lin Sanjiu sighed inwardly.
As expected, her luck wasn't that good. The moment she entered the café, she saw 12. In fact, it was a middle-aged man with a bloated complexion. The back of his head was facing Lin Sanjiu. The sudden bang seemed to have startled him. When he turned his head, he almost spilled the coffee in his hand.
"I'm sorry," Lin Sanjiu shot a glance at him. Somehow, she felt that this man looked familiar. But then again, all fat middle-aged men looked the same … Lin Sanjiu couldn't remember where she had seen him before. She nodded at the man and closed the door again.
She lowered her head and peeked through the crack in the door. The café was still lit.
Come to think of it, Nocturnal Wanderer seemed to trust the people on the ship. There were no night patrols here, and there were no surveillance cameras either. Lin Sanjiu could move around freely without anyone noticing. However, to avoid any questions and suspicions, it was better for her to keep a low profile.
Just as she turned around and took a few steps, she heard the door of the café open. Lin Sanjiu turned around and saw the middle-aged man closing the door with his head lowered. When his eyes met Lin Sanjiu's, they immediately parted ways. He stood on the spot and hesitated for a moment before he walked toward Lin Sanjiu.
Lin Sanjiu thought he had something to say to her, but she could only watch as he walked past her.
For the next ten minutes, both of them walked the same way. On the quiet, long platform, the two of them turned and went up and down the platform together.

Lin Sanjiu sighed and turned off all the replies. After she left, she saw many new messages. Many of them were discussing the attack on the Munitions Factory and the heaven district. Lin Sanjiu furrowed her brows. "It seems like Nocturnal Ranger doesn't think this is a secret."
"Won't it cause panic?"
Lin Sanjiu didn't read too much. She grabbed the messages one by one and swiped them to the left. "Since I didn't get anything, I might as well go back and have a good rest …" Lin Sanjiu was exhausted and desperately needed sleep.
