Chapter 380 Nightfall
The man in the suit lay softly on the ground, with ridiculous cake cream all over his face. Only a pair of eyes were exposed, staring forward full of fear and resentment, not knowing who he was looking at...
He is already dead.
Buried in cream, suffocated to death.
There was a brief silence in the banquet hall, and the next moment, like a drop of water falling into a frying pan, the crowd exploded.
Exclaims and screams were heard endlessly. An unlucky man died alive and grotesquely in front of everyone's eyes. This strange scene caused a huge commotion.
Song Que also immediately retreated. Just now, he was the first person to rush forward to help, and it was he who personally felt the terrifying power pressing on the man in the suit.
The banquet hall was extremely chaotic. Everyone was rushing to escape from the scene of the incident. The human survival instinct made every cell in the body sound an alarm... Get out of here, get out of here quickly!
But... among the people who fled in panic, there were a few people who didn't move.
Among them was Bai Yanliang, who had reached the third floor. He was leaning on the railing at the moment, scanning the crowds of people that were retreating like a colony of ants.
There were also those who went to the deck and came back after hearing the noise, and Yu Wenxuan appeared on the second floor.
And, at some point, Gu Pingsheng appeared at the door of the banquet hall and was walking backwards in the crowd.
Song Que's shock lasted for a moment. He was not surprised at the death of the man in the suit, but he recalled what Bai Yanliang said just now...
"He's dying."
That's right...
This man in a suit had a brief "conflict" with Yu Wenxuan just now. Both Bai Yanliang and himself saw the whole process, but...why did Bai Yanliang say that?
Did he discover something?
Song Que carefully recalled the situation at that time. The man in the suit was indeed an unpleasant person, but nothing that happened at that time was enough for Bai Yanliang to immediately judge that "he was about to die." Moreover, it was such a weird and inexplicable thing. die.
The man in the suit has only offended Yu Wenxuan and the woman in the Gothic skirt for the time being. Since it was not Yu Wenxuan who did it, could it be said...
Song Que's eyes immediately swept around. He saw Yu Wenxuan appearing on the second floor, but he didn't see the woman in the Gothic skirt.
Originally, Yu Wenxuan was going to follow her to the deck...
In other words, she is alone now?
Song Que guessed that Bai Yanliang probably discovered something from the woman in the Gothic dress, which led him to make such an assertion.
It can basically be concluded that the death of the man in the suit is closely related to her.
The crowd had completely dispersed, and soon, only one body and four men were left in the bustling banquet hall.
Gu Pingsheng was the first to come from the door. Bai Yanliang and Yu Wenxuan also went downstairs and arrived next to the body.
Gu Pingsheng didn't feel embarrassed at all, as if he wasn't the one who suddenly escaped from Lucky Cafe before.
Yu Wenxuan and Song Que didn't find fault with him at the moment. Although everyone knew very well that he had to give an explanation about "fake Bai Yanliang" and the erasure of everyone's memory, but the time was not now.
"He is indeed dead."
Yu Wenxuan didn't seem surprised and looked down at the body of the man in a suit.
"You also knew he was going to die?" Song Que glanced at him, then glanced sideways at Bai Yanliang.
"That woman's murderous intent is obvious," Yu Wenxuan said casually, "right?"
He looked at Bai Yanliang.
Bai Yanliang nodded slightly: "The look in her eyes when she left with the dinner plate was not concealed at all."
"Perhaps, she thought there was no need to hide it at all." Yu Wenxuan pointed out. He half-crouched next to the body, "On the other hand, at first glance, it seemed that he was suffocated to death by the cake..."
Following his voice, the eyes of the other three people also fell on the deceased.
"His face is covered with cake, so it's not very obvious. In fact, if you look carefully, there is mushroom-like foam between his mouth and nose." Song Que frowned slightly and whispered, "It is obvious that he died from drowning."
And...
The huge force that pressed down on the man in the suit, Song Que thought about it now, was not an invisible person pressing down on him and pressing him into the cake.
It's the water pressure, the huge water pressure that humans simply can't resist.
At the moment when he struggled, the body of the deceased seemed to be pressed by a sea. The boat is sailing under the moon, and people are drowning in the water...
The four people seemed to feel something and turned their heads in unison.
I saw the pale moonlight quietly appearing in the gap between the door and window. I don’t know when.
The moon has come out.
The sea breeze also penetrated the doors and windows, bringing with it a slightly cold and fishy smell.
Although the sea breeze has always been fishy, salty and bitter, the fishy smell felt by the four of them at this moment was much more real.
It seems that this smell does not come from the vast sea, but... is nearby.
"There's something wrong with that woman..." Song Que broke the silence.
He looked at Yu Wenxuan again: "Didn't you follow her to the deck? Why are you back again?"
For Yu Wenxuan, death is definitely not as important as continuing to do what he is interested in.
He was clearly interested in the woman in the Gothic skirt and was unlikely to suddenly come back.
Or... maybe this Yu Wenxuan is not him at all?
Song Que became suspicious.
"I have no obligation to report to you." As soon as Yu Wenxuan spoke, Song Que gave up his suspicion.
It should be me.
"However, I did lose her," Yu Wenxuan said in a low voice, although his tone was calm, but his eyes were obviously filled with doubts and thoughts, "She carried the dinner plate to the deck, and the time difference between me and her going to the deck was the largest. Within ten seconds, she disappeared."
"There are two more people who haven't appeared until now." Gu Pingsheng, who had never spoken, suddenly said.
A total of six people were selected for this fog gathering. In addition to the four people present, Yu Sheng and Xu Zhifei should also be on this giant ship, but until now, the four of them have not discovered the whereabouts of the two of them.
When Gu Pingsheng mentioned them now, was he implying that their disappearance was related to the woman in the Gothic skirt?
At this moment, everyone suddenly staggered!
Such a huge cruise ship shouldn't have experienced this level of turbulence, but it did.
The buffet food in the hall instantly fell to pieces and rolled all over the floor, and the tables and chairs also began to tilt and slide towards the same angle.
So was the body on the floor.
Bai Yanliang and the four others reacted very quickly. In other words, they were already accustomed to maintaining a high level of vigilance and could react immediately to the slightest disturbance.
The ship seemed to be capsizing, and they each found a stable place. The body of the man in the suit rolled around on the ground until it rolled into the moonlight that came in, and the moonlight just shone on the dead man's face——
The four people who had been staring at the deceased had a buzz in their minds and their whole bodies froze.
The faces of the deceased suddenly changed into their respective looks, staring at them...
But at this moment, before the four people could see clearly, the ship's hull bumped violently again. Without exception, they felt that the things they held in their hands suddenly became extremely slippery.
Bai Yanliang was originally holding on to the handrail of the stairs. At this moment, a lot of mucus oozed from the handrail, as well as from his hands and feet.
They were unable to stand firmly and had nothing to rely on. The lights on the ship also flickered for a few times before going out completely.
They were so passively and without warning dispersed by the bumps.
Only one person remained in the hall and stabilized his figure.
Yu Wenxuan pulled out the dagger that was stabbed into the floor. At the moment when the huge bumps occurred, he was the only one who did not grab anything on the ship. Instead, he chose to hold his own dagger and then plunged the dagger into the floor. He himself Then lie down on the floor.
At this moment, the bumps disappeared, everyone else was gone, and the dead bodies were also gone.
Yu Wenxuan picked up the dagger, sniffed the mucus on the dagger, and looked around:
"You are indeed alive..."
