November 29th, six o 'clock in the evening.
A luxurious cruise ship named "Elegance" set sail from a port in S City.
Tonight, it was a special group of guests who had been invited onto the ship.
Among them, there were corrupt politicians, unscrupulous businessmen, well-known socialites, and desperadoes.
These people all had one thing in common, and that was … they had all come to the edge of life for various reasons. If they took another step, they would fall into the abyss of eternal damnation …
Their purpose for coming to this ship was the same, which was to gamble the rest of their lives, trying to grasp the slim … last glimmer of hope.
However, among these hundreds of people, there were exceptions.
For example … there was a person named "Jiang Daode," who didn't come out of his own will.
…
"Ah … we're about to reach the high seas …" Feng Bujue sat on the bed in his cabin, looking at the golden sea under the setting sun through the porthole. He murmured, "If I remember correctly … this ship is registered in Panama." He licked his lips and sneered, "Humph … this kind of trip where I could be killed and thrown into the sea at any time is really exciting."
When he boarded the ship, Brother Jue had already passed the strict security check. According to the rules, "guests" were not allowed to bring any electronic products on board. Not to mention mobile phones or laptops, even electronic watches were not allowed. Therefore, he naturally couldn't get in touch with the outside world.
So, the question was, why did Feng Bujue appear here at this time and place?
It all started five days ago … …
On the 24th, Brother Jue went out to buy some strange materials. After fiddling with them for a long time, he made an evil magic circle and took the initiative to summon Woody.
His intention of summoning Woody was very clear, which was to let him not care about whether Li Ruo Yu agreed or not. He wanted him to break the seal first.
When Woody heard this, he immediately chuckled.
This guy said … it was easy to break the seal, as long as he stood there and snapped his fingers.
Feng Bujue said, "Then you can undo it."
But Woody didn't agree. He said, "When I came to give you the prize a few days ago, I wanted to do it on the way. But you and Heroine Li quarreled, so I came here for nothing." Now, you're suddenly telling me not to care about what she thinks. You even summoned me here just to ask me to do this. Do you think I'm an errand boy? As the saying goes, a thief does not leave empty-handed. I have to negotiate with you.
When Feng Bujue heard this, he immediately cursed … Motherf * cker, this was originally a bet between me and you before the S2 finals. Now that you've lost, it's my freedom to make you fulfill your obligations whenever I want. What conditions are you talking about?
Woody chuckled again, as if to say … 'I'm a demon from hell. So what if I go back on my word?' Hit me if you can.
Then, Feng Bujue took out a pre-prepared fire extinguisher filled with "holy water" and sprayed it all over Woody's face.
Unfortunately, this method was useless against demons like the Four Scumbags. Woody had a constitution of "drinking the holy water in the church like vodka" many years ago.
Seeing this, Feng Bujue took out a pile of talismans drawn according to the drawing method recorded in the Book of Hidden Armor and pasted them on Woody's body.
This time, it worked. He stunned Woody for a few seconds, and then the talismans instantly burned to ashes.
Woody wasn't angry. He even smiled and explained to Brother Jue … Drawing talismans required blood, and it was best to use the caster's own blood. If you couldn't bear to use it, then use other people's blood or chicken blood. If you really didn't have it … then use cinnabar instead.
Feng Bujue said … First, I don't want to use my own blood. Second, if I use other people's blood, I might be arrested by the police. Third, the market banned the sale of live poultry many years ago. Chicken blood is harder to get than human blood. How about pig blood? I'll go buy a bowl of duck blood curd and process it.
In short, after the two of them argued for a while, Woody brought the topic back on track, saying … Since you think you're at a disadvantage, then I'll take a step back.
So … Demons were very good at negotiating with people. He was originally in the wrong, but he could turn it into a situation where he was giving in by making unreasonable demands.
Of course, Brother Jue was also good at this skill. He immediately exposed Woody and said, "I don't care about you. If you break the seal, I'll delete my account and commit suicide."
The two of them tested each other and quarreled for a while. Finally, they reached an agreement. On the night of the 29th, Feng Bujue would go to the "Elegance" to get something for Woody. Brother Jue promised that he would "do his best." But even if he couldn't get that thing in the end, Woody had to break the seal on Ruo Yu. And if Brother Jue succeeded in the end, Woody would have to tell the truth about Brother Jue's ability.
So … there was tonight's trip.
…
To make a long story short, in the past five days, Feng Bujue didn't just keep clearing the dungeons in the game. In reality, he also actively investigated and prepared for the "Elegance" and its related matters.
At 4: 30 p.m. on the 29th, Feng Bujue carried a handbag and went to the "designated location" (a parking lot in the city). At this time, there were already a few men in black suits and a luxury car waiting for him there.
Those people didn't ask Brother Jue to wear a mask or something like that, because their destination was nothing to hide — it was the port. However, if the guests didn't take the designated car, they couldn't enter the boarding area.
At 5 p.m., Feng Bujue arrived at the port. When he got out of the car, he had already put on the mask that he had prepared in advance — a silver crow mask (also known as a bird's beak mask, which was commonly used by doctors during the Black Death in the Middle Ages).
This was no doubt one of the arrangements made by the organizers … In order to protect the guests' privacy, the guests were allowed to wear masks in public. As for the type of mask, the guests could choose by themselves, as long as they didn't do anything to the mask …
When Brother Jue boarded the ship with the mask, the other guests also boarded the ship one after another.
At the entrance, there was a very advanced detection device. Any electronic devices or abnormal items … couldn't get past it. It could be said that it was an anti-espionage level device.
During the time when Feng Bujue boarded the ship, he saw two people trying to sneak in with electronic devices …
The first one hid a mini camera and a receiver in his bag disguised as an electric shaver. After he was discovered, he cried and shouted that he wanted to stay. He also said that he wouldn't take any chances. However, he was still thrown into the car by a group of strong men in black suits. He was nowhere to be found.
The second one … This one was even more ruthless. He directly implanted an electronic chip into his face, right next to his jawbone. Needless to say … this one could also get lost.
It was foreseeable that … there would be many people like these two who tried to board the ship with small devices. However, Feng Bujue soon boarded the ship successfully, and he wasn't interested in staying at the railing to watch the other boarders.
When boarding the ship, everyone was given a magnetic card. The magnetic card could be used to open the door of their cabin. Feng Bujue quickly found his room under the guidance of the staff. He swiped the card and entered the room. He threw down his luggage and took off his mask.
On the way here, the staff in black suits and sunglasses had clearly told the guests that there was absolutely no peeking into the cabin. It was the only "private space." But once they stepped out of the cabin, there was no place that wasn't under the surveillance of the camera cameras and staff.
Regarding that, Feng Bujue believed in it.
He was also very clear that it wasn't that the organizers didn't want to install surveillance cameras in the cabin, but the actual operation was more troublesome.
Because … no matter what, the organizers couldn't install surveillance cameras in the toilet, right? If the guests really wanted to do something in a place where the camera couldn't see, then with surveillance cameras in the cabin, they could only move to the toilet to do it …
Therefore, under the premise that "private space" would exist no matter what, they might as well not install surveillance cameras in the cabin. In any case, the inspection before boarding the ship had been done thoroughly. They wouldn't be able to do anything.
…
In the evening, at 6: 45, the Elegant Song had already entered the international waters.
A broadcast sounded in the cabin, "Guests, please immediately gather in the main hall of the ship. The banquet is about to begin."
This broadcast was repeated many times, about once every 30 seconds.
Before Feng Bujue heard it for the third time, he had already put on his mask and walked out of the cabin.
Outside the cabin, on the deck, there was a staff member in black standing guard almost every ten meters. The guests could ask for directions at any time.
After Brother Jue asked the first man in a suit he met a few words, he already knew the route and walked leisurely along the side of the ship.
At this time, it was the last moment before nightfall.
The afterglow of the setting sun still hadn't faded away. A crimson sunset appeared in the lavender sky, reflecting a beautiful color on the sea.
The salty sea breeze blew from the side, making Feng Bujue couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
As a man who could feel the rotation of the earth (Recently, Brother Jue's ability was getting stronger and stronger, but he had already mastered the trick of controlling it. At least he didn't have the feeling of "seasickness on earth"), whenever he stood in front of such a scenery, he could understand some incomprehensible and indescribable feelings that others couldn't understand.
But … he couldn't tell what that feeling was.
Perhaps … after this trip, after knowing the truth of his ability, the answer would be clearer.
Feng Bujue thought so, retracted his divine sense that flew out, and continued to move forward …
…
Night, seven o 'clock.
In the main hall of the Grace Cruise Ship.
If a person woke up from his sleep and found himself here, he or she would never think that he or she was on a ship.
If someone wanted to have a "photo annotation contest" for the word "magnificent," then the scenery in the main hall would definitely be a seeded player.
There was a saying, "Things will move in the opposite direction when they reach an extreme." It was very appropriate to use it here.
When people first saw this space, many people would be shocked and exclaim. But after the initial emotion … this excessive luxury wouldn't make you think of anything beautiful.
It would make you think of a king who was born hundreds of years ago and embezzled a large amount of the national budget; or those selfish and insatiable villains in fairy tales.
About two minutes later, you might even think of the Ethiopian disaster victims …
But … you would never have any "beautiful" feelings.
Because anyone who still had a conscience, when placed in this space, would instinctively feel a kind of sin and a kind of guilt. This ship, this main hall, gave people such an impression …
"Oh, I seem to be wearing the wrong clothes." After stepping into the main hall, Feng Bujue realized a problem – the others were dressed very formally.
Almost all the men were dressed in full tuxedos or evening suits. Even if they were wearing masks, they combed their hair until it was shiny.
"What a bunch of hypocrites …" Feng Bujue looked around and grumbled softly. "Your leather shoes are so shiny that you can use them as mirrors … I can even see the bottom of the ladies' dresses through your leather shoes …"
As for the ladies, they were all dressed in formal attire. Whether tall or short, fat or thin, they all wore expensive evening gowns. Whether it was dignified, sexy, or fresh and elegant, they were quite compatible with the owner's body shape and temperament. This also showed that … they were the kind of people who often wore evening gowns.
"What a bunch of hypocrites …" Before Brother Jue's ridicule, everyone was equal. No matter male or female, everyone was like a dog. "Your heels are so high that you can use them as ladders … If I pretend to tie my shoelaces, I can see the bottom of your dress."
Fine, that's one thing. Our Brother Jue is not that kind of person.
Because he didn't know how to tie his shoelaces …
In short, at this moment, Feng Bujue realized the intention of the organizers to let the guests board more than an hour early and provide "private space".
To put it bluntly … they were giving them some time to change their clothes and dress up.
However, Feng Bujue didn't know about this. When he came, the black suits didn't tell him to wear formal clothes at the banquet … So Brother Jue guessed that this should be common knowledge.
So, why didn't he know? It must be that Woody deliberately didn't tell him …
"That bastard deliberately made a fool of me …" At this time, Brother Jue was dressed in a casual jacket. His hands were in his pockets, and he walked down the stairs on the white bearskin carpet. At the same time, he thought to himself, "Hmm … no, if Woody wanted to trick someone, he wouldn't use such a low-level method …" A few seconds later, he thought of the answer. "Oh … because he knew that I didn't have an evening gown or suit that was suitable for this occasion, so he simply didn't mention it …"
In a sense, Woody was indeed considerate.
"Hmm … fine." Feng Bujue smiled and said, "From the results … it's better to dress like this."
Indeed, at this occasion where everyone was dressed particularly formally, his unique style … had successfully attracted the attention of the other guests.
