The man wasn't lying. Life on the sea was boring most of the time.
After leaving the coastal waters, the mobile phone lost signal, and the entire ship became a closed little world. Time on the ship was stretched infinitely, and every day seemed to be no different from the previous day. The days were just a meaningless repetition.
The man thought Shen Xixi was just joking, but he didn't expect her to not look for any entertainment at all. Not to mention knocking on his door, she hadn't even caught a single fish after all this time. Many people on the boat didn't like her, but Shen Xixi didn't seem to care.
She rarely communicated with others, and every day, she would go to the training room on time to train. The man in the colorful shirt went to see her a few times, and he had to admit that this woman was definitely not just for show. She was hard on herself. Whether it was strength training, explosive force training, or speed training, her training volume was two to three times that of others. She would also spend several hours in the training room every day to perfect her swordsmanship.
The swordsmanship teacher on the ship was thoroughly convinced by her, and he was even traumatized. He had to take three days off to recuperate and recover.
Shen Xixi didn't give up on her practice. Since no one was there to spar with her, she could only repeat the slashing movements in front of the mirror, constantly correcting her posture. It was a boring task, but her expression remained the same, as if she didn't find it boring at all.
Just after she completed a set of movements, the door of the training room was pushed open from the outside.
Shen Xixi was a little surprised. Under normal circumstances, the swordsmanship training room would be empty after nine o 'clock in the evening. So, she usually came to train at this time, so that she wouldn't be bored with the others.
The next moment, a set of protective gear was thrown in front of her.
After that, the guy opposite her, who had already put on a full set of protective gear and wrapped himself tightly, said, "Let me practice with you."
Shen Xixi could tell that the voice coming from under the helmet belonged to the man in the colorful shirt.
But she didn't pick up the protective gear at her feet. She just wiped the sweat on her forehead and said, "I thought I made myself clear enough."
"I'm not flirting with you," the man in the colorful shirt interrupted Shen Xixi. "I know my frivolous behavior may have left a bad impression on you, but I'm not an animal that only thinks with the lower half of my body. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered you for so long on the ship."
Shen Xixi put away the bamboo sword in her hand and waited for the man to continue.
"I just like to have some fun from time to time. This is originally a consensual thing. Even if you are my mother, you can't control my private life." The man in the colorful shirt shrugged.
"Then why didn't you continue to have fun? Why did you come to practice with me?" Shen Xixi asked.
"Come on, do you really think I've forgotten the purpose of this voyage? Of course, I also hope to have a reliable teammate by my side at a critical moment. Even though we're going to die this time, it's always good to increase our chances of survival. Otherwise, why would I accept your request to board the ship? Do you really think that I'm jealous of that guy who's already dead? Cut the crap, let's get started!" The man in the flowery shirt sent out a challenge.
The man in the colorful shirt sent out a challenge. Shen Xixi did not hesitate when she heard that. She picked up the armor on the ground and put it on. She gripped the bamboo sword in her hand again, and her entire temperament changed. "Please!"
The man in the colorful shirt felt a huge pressure enveloping him from afar. He finally understood why the swordsman on the ship wanted to take a leave of absence. Instead of being afraid, he became even more excited. He licked his lips and said, "Bring it on!"
For the next two weeks, the two of them sparred with each other.
The person who was the happiest was the swordsman on the ship. He was surprised to find that his vacation had been extended, and he was no longer a training partner. At the same time, he mourned for the man in the colorful shirt because he did not believe that there was a man in this world who could withstand Shen Xixi's ravages.
But it turned out that the man in the colorful shirt was also a madman who was ruthless to himself.
Shen Xixi's impression of the man in the colorful shirt had improved a lot. In a sense, the man's lascivious temperament was more like a disguise. If one was fooled by his appearance and looked down on him because of it, one would fall right into his trap, and one would have to pay a hefty price.
In the training room, two figures were moving at high speed. While blocking each other's attacks, they were also looking for flaws in each other's moves!
The intensity of the battle had been high since the beginning. Their training suits were already soaked in sweat, but the two were still fully focused. The sound of bamboo swords colliding echoed in the training room.
Shen Xixi's eyes never left the man's shoulder.
Is he going to attack the left side? No, this is just a feint! The real target should be his throat. But after Shen Xixi saw through the man's movements, she did not retract her sword to block him. Instead, she moved the tip of her sword slightly to the left, pretending that she was going to defend the left side. In fact, she was going to stab the man's right wrist after blocking his attack.
Battles were never as simple as a competition of speed and strength. At the same time, it was also a battle of spirit.
The two had been fighting like this for thousands of times during this period, and each time, they won or lost. No one could defeat the other. But the next moment, Shen Xixi's vision suddenly went black, and she failed to avoid the man in the floral shirt's stab to her throat.
However, the man in the colorful shirt apparently noticed Shen Xixi's abnormality at the moment. He stopped his attack at the critical moment, and then asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
After a period of competition and competition, the two had become friends. Of course, this kind of friendship was not the kind of relationship between a man and a woman. It was simply mutual admiration, and they were willing to believe in each other's strength.
Although the man in the flowery shirt used a small bait before he made his move, he didn't think that Shen Xixi would fail to see through his bait. Not to mention, Shen Xixi was completely unprepared just now. It was as if she was in a daze.
"I'm fine. I may be a little tired. Let's call it a day. Can you leave me alone for a while?" Shen Xixi rubbed her forehead.
"Okay." The man in the colorful shirt did not beat around the bush. He got up and said, "You've been working hard recently. You can rest more. Come to me when you want to practice."
"Thank you." Shen Xixi forced a smile.
However, when the man in the colorful shirt left, Shen Xixi could no longer hold it in. She hugged the trash can in the training room and threw up. When she looked at the man's helmeted head, all she saw was a giant octopus head. In fact, it was not just the man in the colorful shirt. Shen Xixi was now alone in the training room. When she looked at the ceiling above her head, she felt that the ceiling had changed. It was covered with shells, and something was constantly wriggling.
Shen Xixi knew that there was something wrong with her mind. To be more precise, after a month and a half of tracking and cleaning up those mysterious societies, her mind began to have problems.
She had been holding on until now, and she did not tell anyone.
Shen Xixi now only hoped that the final battle would come as soon as possible, before her mind completely collapsed.
