Chapter 421: Chapter 308: Revenge
"...hmm?"
Such simple rules also made Xiao Yi somewhat puzzled.
"Just four rules, no instance name like before, no special prompts, and no conditions for passing... I see, it seems that these four rules only apply to my current instance?"
Xiao Yi could roughly figure out his current situation. He folded the rule document and then began to wander around the cruise ship.
"A story usually needs a main subject to unfold, and this time the stage of the story is a man-made cruise ship, meaning the main subject is likely to be a person. There must be other people on this ship."
Thinking he had nothing better to do, Xiao Yi started wandering around to look, and soon inside the cabin, he found a splendid hall.
As expected, there were several figures in the hall.
They were spread out, some in small groups chatting, others sitting by themselves.
When Xiao Yi walked in, their expressions slightly changed, and they looked at Xiao Yi with different expressions.
"..." Xiao Yi also silently looked at them.
It was a staring contest. However, Xiao Yi was at a slight disadvantage since he was up against several people.
The hall then fell silent for a moment.
However, feeling that he could not outstare so many people, Xiao Yi reluctantly spoke up,
"Hello, I’m new here, don’t know the rules, so... I won’t be following them, you all better watch out."
Introducing oneself is very important as it sets the first impression others have of you, hence it must be done with some assertiveness to not be taken lightly.
Once underestimated, trouble is likely to follow, and Xiao Yi hated trouble, so he had to avoid it as much as possible.
The others were taken aback by Xiao Yi’s approach, issuing a collective "Huh?"
They thought: Shouldn’t someone new who doesn’t know the rules usually ask for guidance and patience? Why did he follow up with a threat instead?
"Ha ha ha ha ha!"
However, there was an older-looking uncle with dark circles under his eyes who burst into laughter.
Afterwards, that uncle, dressed in a white suit, approached Xiao Yi, squeezed out a professional fake smile, and greeted him,
"Interesting... you’re the last one, right? Hello, hello..."
"The last one?" Xiao Yi asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"Hmm..."
The uncle who was greeting Xiao Yi fell silent, looking towards the others without answering the question.
At that moment, the others also looked at each other with puzzled expressions.
Then, the uncle helplessly said,
"Actually, none of us here know why we are here or what has happened. We... all suddenly lost consciousness and fainted, and when we came to, we were already on this ship."
"Don’t know?" Xiao Yi asked further, "Then how can you say I’m the last one?"
"Because of this..."
Just then, a beautifully dressed woman wearing a red evening gown stood up and approached Xiao Yi.
She handed him a very brief letter, explaining,
"After we woke up, we naturally searched around here. However, we only found the contents of this letter in the hall, related to our current situation. See for yourself."
"...Really?"
Xiao Yi immediately read the letter. There were very few words, just a few brief paragraphs.
"[The storm will come and will go away, only to come again, repeating over and over. The past and the present are closely linked, you seven are destined to go to that predetermined place! Start running because... the murderer will eventually pay a price!]"
"...What is this?" Xiao Yi commented somewhat speechlessly, "Why write all these riddles? Just say it’s about revenge, instead of all this vague stuff."
"...Revenge?" said the woman in the red dress, "So you also figured out it means revenge? But... against whom? Who wants revenge? And for what reason? More importantly, what does all this have to do with us?"
"Who knows," Xiao Yi handed the letter back to the woman, saying, "It’s just a bunch of riddles with no concrete information, unverifiable."
"That’s true..." the woman in the red dress pondered for a moment, then added, "But... what can be confirmed is, among us, someone has committed murder, and then... someone wants revenge against that person, which is why a revenge scheme was concocted involving us..."
Her words naturally made everyone’s faces darken.
Regardless, the seeds of mutual suspicion and doubt had been planted.
Then, quickly someone stood up, confronting the woman.
A thin-looking middle-aged man in a business suit with a heavy commercial vibe stood up, almost frantic, saying to the woman in the red dress,
"What do you mean? Are you questioning one of us? Moreover, if it’s about revenge, why involve innocent people? I think! All of us here are murderers, destined to be the targets of revenge!"
"Alright, alright... let’s all calm down."
