Inside the room, Uesugi Kotoko was lying on the couch by the window in a thin swimsuit. She was staring at the ocean in boredom.
The ocean was everywhere in Japan, so there was nothing special about it. She initially thought she might stumble into one or two interesting people on the cruise, but it turned out that she was going to be disappointed.
Knock knock knock!
Uesugi Kotoko's eyes flickered with joy when she heard someone knocking on the door. However, she soon realized that the person knocking on the door was most likely a waiter. She would tease the waiter if he was good-looking, but she would not bother looking at him if he was not good-looking.
"The door isn't closed, come in," Uesugi Kotoko said.
"Isn't this inappropriate?" a man's gentle and charming voice came from outside the door.
Despite saying that, the man still pushed the door open. The door was facing the couch on the other side of the room, and Uesugi Kotoko, who was wearing only a swimsuit, could be seen from there.
"It's you!" Uesugi Kotoko blurted out in surprise. Her eyes were fixed on the man with golden hair passionately.
Generally, only Europeans could pull off blond hair better. The bright and noble color of the hair and the sharp lines of the face showed the innate nobility and authority. However, the man was Asian, yet his golden hair did not match his face at all. His breathtakingly handsome face was enough to set a woman's heart on fire. At least, he was the perfect type that Uesugi Kotoko liked.
"I found your card bag in the pool. It happened to have your room number on it. I thought you might be worried about it, so I brought it over in person," the man said gently.
"What if I told you I left it there on purpose?" Uesugi Kotoko said with a smile.
"Then I'll tell you that I brought it here on purpose, too," the man said.
The two exchanged glances with one another. Uesugi Kotoko slowly rose to her feet and walked up to the man. She circled around him like she was admiring a piece of art. She placed her hand on his shoulder and closed the door.
"I don't like the room here. Do you want to try something more exciting?" The man was very smart. He could easily tell what kind of woman a man was. He did not need to put on a disguise in front of them, as they were even more irresistible.
"I'll listen to it first," Uesugi Kotoko said.
"I like it dark, messy, and a little dirty. Basements, escape ladders, rooftops, water towers …" the blonde man said, speaking like a veteran.
"I like the darkness too," Uesugi Kotoko said.
"How about the cargo hold of the cruise ship? I can guarantee that there is no one there. "The golden-haired man smiled evilly.
"It doesn't matter if there are people around," Uesugi Kotoko said.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
…
The cargo hold of a cruise ship would usually be managed by a few crew members. As a luxury cruise ship, it would also carry some relatively expensive cargo. In addition, it would also carry the checked luggage of all the crew members on board.
The cargo hold of the cruise ship was very large. It was located at the lower levels, and it was late at night. The people in the cargo hold were already dozing off.
"When we were at the pool, I saw a man in uniform talking to you for a long time. Was he your husband?" the blonde man asked.
"Of course not." Uesugi Kotoko rolled her eyes at the blonde man. She seemed to understand what the man was trying to say. She added seductively, "My husband is in Japan. He's most likely still addicted to a certain video."
"If that's the case, I thought the sailor was related to you. Why were you talking to him for so long?" the blonde man asked.
Uesugi Kotoko was a little unhappy. She was already tired of it. She wanted to go wild immediately, but since the man had already asked her, she should not rush it. It would only make her look impatient.
"They were checking my documents. I brought something that made them uncomfortable on the cruise ship. I'm planning to bring it back to Japan," Uesugi Kotoko said.
"Sex?" the blonde man asked.
"It's more exciting than that," Uesugi Kotoko said.
"Is that so? I'm quite interested, "the blonde man said.
"You won't say that once you know what it is," Uesugi Kotoko said.
"Then I'll give it a try. I'm quite knowledgeable. It can be our appetizer," the blonde man said.
Uesugi Kotoko's eyes flickered with excitement when she heard the words.
She was not excited because of the darkness. She was more excited because she could combine it with her work.
"I know the serial number of my luggage. I don't mind if you're interested. Let's hope you're still hard after reading it," Uesugi Kotoko said.
"I'm quite knowledgeable. Ordinary things can't excite me."
…
Uesugi Kotoko led Zhao Manyan to her masterpiece after passing through many shelves.
"Why is it refrigerated?" Zhao Manyan asked in surprise.
"Aren't you knowledgeable? You can take a guess," Uesugi Kotoko smiled.
Zhao Manyan did not answer. He followed Uesugi Kotoko into the refrigerated room.
There was a rectangular wooden box in the shape of a coffin on the shelf. It was just a disguise.
"What about now?" Uesugi Kotoko asked.
"Ugh … I still can't figure it out. Can I open it?" Zhao Manyan asked.
"Of course not, it took me a lot of effort to seal it up. If I open it, the air will be polluted. You should know how many microorganisms there are in the air. It's going to rot my treasure," Uesugi Kotoko said.
"Rot? Don't tell me this thing that looks like a coffin contains a corpse, "Zhao Manyan said.
"You're right …"
Before Uesugi Kotoko could finish, there was a knocking sound coming from the coffin.
Zhao Manyan was startled. He immediately fixed his eyes on Uesugi Kotoko.
Uesugi Kotoko did not think it was strange. She explained with a smile, "Corpses are going to rot eventually. It's impossible to keep them in perfect condition no matter how good the art is. The fresher the corpse, the more valuable it is. Therefore, we have to be more careful when we collect specimens."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Manyan's expression shifted.
"It means we're sealing up dead people to keep them alive," Uesugi Kotoko said.
"You're sealing a living person in a coffin as a specimen?" Zhao Manyan blurted out in astonishment.
