Chapter 1504 Preparing to retreat
Exploiting loopholes in the rules is nothing more than playing word games.
Gan Xiaoyan saw the passenger instructions before entering the cabin, plus the rules she discovered along the way. Although she didn't particularly believe it, she still kept it in mind.
Since the rules are so important, you should try to be careful when making an agreement, especially the words you use.
Gan Xiaoyan’s words are my companion, not the release of Jiang Zhe.
The difference between the two is huge.
That man may have been overconfident, as he said himself, he was carried away.
As soon as he finished speaking, several more cards flew out of the photo album, fell to the ground and turned into several black suits. They were people from the Nine Sections.
Gan Xiaoyan didn't know that he had someone else in his hands, but if he worded it more carefully, he would be right after all.
“Oh, I lost a lot this time. I didn’t expect that the boat would capsize here.”
The man said this, but he casually took out a business card from his trouser pocket and handed it to Gan Xiaoyan.
"I admit defeat this time. You seem to have some potential. If you are interested in playing with the rules, you can keep it. You will use it one day."
Gan Xiaoyan did not reach out. Go and pick it up, the man doesn't care whether Gan Xiaoyan picks it up or not, he just puts it on the card table and pushes it over.
Immediately afterwards, the man's body began to break, as if his body was composed of a ball of ashes and a ball of sand, and soon more than half of it disappeared.
"Consider this my last advice. If you can get off the ship, don't touch this ship again. It is just a means of transportation for the Court of Order to move between different earths. What you see now is Trial run. But if you continue to delve deeper, it will cause trouble.”
His body almost completely disappeared, and only the last words floated in the air:
"That's it, I wish you all the best, ladies."
Lei Lei took out a talisman and clamped it on her fingertips , seemed to be checking whether the man was really gone or simply invisible.
The inspection results showed that he was indeed gone.
Gan Xiaoyan lowered her head and looked at the situation of Jiang Zhe and several colleagues. Just as the man said, they were just temporarily comatose, or more like they were asleep. Some of them had even started snoring.
"Do you want to take that business card?"
"It's best to take it away as physical evidence."
It's best not to touch something given by someone with unknown meaning. Who knows if there is a curse or something.
Lei Lei checked it and confirmed its safety. Then Gan Xiaoyan put on gloves and stuffed the business card into the evidence bag she brought.
The front of the business card was blank, without any writing. On the back, there was a golden scale painted on it, and there was nothing else.
“Do you believe what that person said?”
Gan Xiaoyan stuffed the evidence bag into the sealed package and shook her head:
“It’s not that you believe it, but this is the only relatively reliable source of intelligence at present. , I think this is enough for the mission, let’s find everyone and leave the ship.”
Gan Xiaoyan’s mission is not to solve the ship, but to investigate.
A lot of information has been obtained now. Although it is impossible to distinguish the true from the false for the time being, it is enough to complete the investigation mission.
As for how this ship will be dealt with in the end, it depends on how the General Administration holds a meeting to study it.

“Is there anyone there? Someone scream!”
On the other side, Li Chengqi was walking in the corridor, holding in his hand Holding a loudspeaker that looked like a cucumber, he kept repeating loud shouts. Although there is no signal, the lack of Internet does not prevent Li Chengqi from observing Alyssa through his mobile phone.
This rod-shaped speaker was made with Fang Lanyin's help. It is one of the external speaker sets installed on the Manta. It was turned into a speaker by making a slight recording device.
It’s really tiring to shout with your mouth, and it’s easy to get dry mouth. It’s much more convenient to use this thing.
Li Chengqi took away a bottle of mineral water from the second bar, but nothing else was touched. He tried to contact other people, but still got no response, which made him wonder if his walkie-talkie was broken.
It was really baffling that Gan Xiaoyan could be contacted just now.
Ever since boarding the ship and being separated from the others, Li Chengqi felt like he was isolated.
And this feeling doesn't seem to be an illusion.
Let's be honest, isn't it natural that such a weird ship would encounter a monster or something like that while walking on it?
What's more, Li Chengqi can be said to be dismantling as he walked. He could dismantle as many vases, oil paintings, furniture and other things as he walked.
This is a very obvious provocation. Are you unhappy with me? Come out.
But nothing came out, nothing.
This made Li Chengqi wonder if the guy controlling the ship found him difficult to mess with, so he adopted an isolation strategy.
It stands to reason that Li Chengqi should have met one or two people while walking, demolishing and shouting. After all, in addition to the five foreign aids who came to help, Gan Xiaoyan and the people from Jiuke combined There are more than thirty people there, so there should be some movement at least.
It's like the guy controlling the ship found that Li Chengqi was not easy to mess with, so after entering the cabin, he placed him very far away from other people.
And there is something weird in this cabin.
There is no guide such as a route map in the huge and complex maze-like cabin. At most, there are only signboards telling you which way to go forward and which way to go back.
And these signboards were even contradictory, which made Li Chengqi wonder if someone was deliberately trying to trap him here.
His patience was really running out. Li Chengqi wanted to kick a hole in the boat. If Lei Lei and Gan Xiaoyan weren't still on the boat, he would have done so long ago.
As he walked, Li Chengqi's ears moved slightly. He turned off the speaker and finally heard something other than the sound of footsteps.
It was a wind sound like gas blowing through a small space, accompanied by the subtle sound of water droplets falling on the ground.
Although it's not a response, whether it's a monster or one of our own, come out and do something. Just walking is too boring.
He quickened his pace a little, ran along the corridor for almost twenty meters, turned a corner, and came to a T-intersection.
Looking to the left, you can see a corridor full of water stains. The pipes in the wall and ceiling are damaged, and water vapor is still coming out from some damaged areas. Li Chengqi heard just now The sound of wind and water droplets comes from here.
But beyond that, there is nothing.
This disappointed Li Chengqi.
Turn around and look at the other side of the T-intersection. The flashlight light showed that there seemed to be another double door on the other side.
Rather than stepping on a wet carpet and possibly being smeared in the face by hot steam, it was better to walk on the other side. And if other people passed by here, they would definitely not choose the road with water, because they would be scalded by the steam.
So after Li Chengqi checked that there were no water-stained footprints on the floor, he walked towards the double doors.
Like the previous bar, there is an etched metal plate hanging next to the double doors with the words 'First Restaurant' written on it.
