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 companions, not the release of Jiang Zhe.

The difference between the two is huge.

That man may have been overconfident. As he said, he got carried away.

As soon as he finished speaking, several more cards flew out of the album and fell to the ground, turning into several black suits. They were people from the Ninth Section.

Gan Xiaoyan didn't know that he had someone else in his hands, but if he worded it carefully, there would be nothing wrong in the end.

"Oh, I lost a lot this time. I didn't expect the boat to 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 didn't reach out to pick it up, and the man didn't care whether Gan Xiaoyan picked it up or not. He just put it on the card table and pushed it over.

Immediately afterwards, the man's body began to break, as if his body was made up of a ball of ashes and sand, and most of it quickly 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 are seeing now is a trial run. But if you continue If you look into it further, it will lead to trouble.”

His body almost completely disappeared, and only his last words floated in the air:

"That's it, good luck to you, ladies."

Lei Lei took out a talisman and held it between her fingertips, as if checking whether the man was really gone or simply invisible.

The test results showed that he was indeed gone.

Gan Xiaoyan lowered her head and looked at the situation of Jiang Zhe and several colleagues. 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 such an unknown meaning. Who knows if it's cursed or something.

Lei Lei checked it to make sure it was safe, 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 was a golden scale, but nothing else.

"Do you believe what that man said?"

Gan Xiaoyan stuffed the evidence bag into the sealed package and shook her head:

"It's not that I believe it, but there is currently only one relatively reliable source of intelligence. 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 tell whether it is true or false for the time being, it is enough to complete the investigation mission.

As for what will be done with this ship 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 a loudspeaker that looked like a cucumber in his hand, and 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 dry your mouth. It's much more convenient to use this thing.

Li Chengqi took away a bottle of mineral water from the second bar, but other than that, 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 he boarded the ship and was separated from the others, Li Chengqi felt like he was isolated.

And this feeling doesn't seem to be an illusion.

Let's be reasonable, isn't it natural for such a weird ship to encounter a monster or something like that while walking on it?

What's more, Li Chengqi could 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 at least 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 the Ninth Section must have totaled more than thirty people. At least there should be some movement.

It was as if the guy controlling the ship found Li Chengqi was not easy to mess with, so after entering the cabin, he placed him far away from everyone else.

And there's something weird about 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 signs actually contradicted each other, which made Li Chengxi wonder if someone wanted to trap him here on purpose.

His patience was really running out. Li Chengxi wanted to kick a hole in the boat. If Lei Lei and Gan Xiaoyan were not still on the boat, he would have done it long ago.

As he walked, Li Chengxi's ears moved slightly. He turned off the speaker and finally heard something other than footsteps.

It was a sound like the sound of wind blowing through a small space, accompanied by the subtle sound of water drops falling on the ground.

Although it was not a response, whether it was a monster or one of us, we should do something. Just walking was too boring.

He quickened his pace and ran along the corridor for nearly 20 meters. He turned a corner and came to a T-junction.

Looking to the left, you can see a corridor covered with water stains. The pipes in the wall and on the ceiling are broken. Some of the broken places are still emitting steam. The wind and water drops that Li Chengxi heard just now came from here.

But apart from that, there was nothing else.

This disappointed Li Chengxi.

Turning to the other side of the T-junction, the flashlight showed that there seemed to be another double door on the other side.

Rather than stepping on the wet carpet and being scalded by the hot steam, it was easier to walk on the other side. And if other people passed by here, they would definitely not choose to take the wet road, as they would be scalded by the steam.

So Li Chengxi checked the floor to see if there were any water-stained footprints, and walked towards the double door.

Like the previous bar, this double door also had an etched metal plate hanging next to it, with the words "First Restaurant" written on it.
