Chapter 521: Chapter 197: The Role of Humans

"Pass on information so that our colleagues outside can interfere with Dream Ark?" In the [Friends] chat, Chen Yu was discussing with Li Changhe: "Using the coin is not a big deal for me. After all, I probably won’t be able to help much with the upcoming actions. But how can we be sure that we can find the Dream Cruise? After all, it cannot be detected by any means other than the sound of its steam whistle."

After analyzing multiple pieces of intelligence, Chen Yu found a single vulnerability. The Dream Cruise was undetectable, even though its steam whistle could be heard echoing along the north shore. No matter what method was used, it could not be detected.

"This may have something to do with the captain not allowing high-level forces to enter the Dream Cruise," Li Changhe thought and replied: "You say, if we cause massive destruction inside the Dream Cruise or incite a large number of Abnormalities to riot. Will the outside world be able to find the Dream Cruise then?"

"You mean to say that when there are internal problems, it might be detectable?" Chen Yu pondered for a moment: "The probability is still a bit low. Is there any other intelligence?"

"No more, Magic Mirror can’t lie. I have asked all the questions I can. So, all this is just our conjecture. According to the previous escape of Abnormalities, there is a high possibility of this happening."

This plan was based on the previous Abnormalities’ escape incident. At that time, someone had attacked the cruise ship from outside, causing the captain’s strength to decrease greatly, allowing those Abnormalities to escape from the Dream Cruise.

"At present, it seems that this is the only method available. However, there is one more point that you need to pay attention to. Humans."

"Humans?" Li Changhe thoughtfully.

"Yes, since this place is a site built from the wreckage of Noah’s Ark in another world, why would the captain accommodate humans?" Chen Yu replied, "Do humans play some irreplaceable role on this ship?"

"What did you find?"

"I am currently with your classmates in a room on the first floor. In the corner of the room, I found many small scratches." Chen Yu looked at the sleeping students around him. A series of events had exhausted them. Chen Yu’s psychological guidance further sped up their sleeping when entering the room. This created enough investigation time for him.

"Isn’t that normal? These rooms were stayed in by people who had survived the previous journey." Li Changhe thought marks left within the rooms seemed normal and perhaps served as a record of their time on the cruise.

"No, they’ve only been here for half a month. Yet, I’ve found nearly a thousand scratches." Chen Yu touched the wall and felt the tiny, irregular scratches. They were so small that they were difficult to detect with the naked eye. It was unknown what kind of tool had left these marks. It had taken Chen Yu some time to notice them.

"Unfortunately, I can’t determine the exact time of the scratches. But I’m certain that they were not left by Australians...No, they were not left by people of our world." Chen Yu responded, "The Dream Cruise first appeared in the Real World in Australia. This much is certain."

"You mean...A long time ago, humans lived here, and they stayed for a long time?"

"Hmm, but I still don’t know why humans stayed here." Chen Yu thought and replied, "This may also be related to the captain. There is too little intelligence, and the rest is up to you guys to investigate."

"Alright, I hope you fare well. I’ll treat you to a meal afterwards."

"Ha...Although it’s a bit redundant to say this, please don’t let me witness the death of my friends again." Chen Yu reminded him and replied, "Then, I wish you all the best."

Afterwards, she put the room card into the monitor’s hand as he slept and took out an Escape Coin.

"Was it successful? Now it’s just the final step," Li Changhe thought as he looked at the prompt in his consciousness.

He was currently in room 311.

In front of him was a grey wolf standing on its hind legs, with sparse fur and wearing a woman’s nightgown.

The wolf spoke in English.

"Oh, my God. I am a wolf. Although you call me an Abnormality, I am still a canine animal. I sensed from Little Red Riding Hood’s scent that she was replaced." The wolf claimed innocence, although it was impossible to tell any expression from its wolf face: "I didn’t tell the other Abnormalities, nor did I expose her in public. I had no ill intent. I didn’t even attack humans. I just swallowed them and then spat them out after I returned here. Don’t hurt me!"

"Changhe, is it lying?" Little Red Riding Hood, beside Li Changhe, tugged at his sleeve.

"Girl, although I have Cold Reading Skill EX...I can’t tell if a wolf is lying or not!" Li Changhe looked at the wolf’s face, unable to discern any expressions: "Cold Reading Skill is for humans. It’s useless for dogs."

"It’s a wolf!" The grey wolf replied solemnly: "I must make that clear."

It was the big bad wolf from Little Red Riding Hood’s fairy tale, and the first Abnormality to notice the girl’s replacement.

In fact, Li Changhe had already determined its identity when it vomited out some living people. After all, the big bad wolf had a weak stomach.

"That girl, Little Red Riding Hood, has been hunting me for decades. Of course, I’m very familiar with her scent. If it weren’t for being on the ship, I wouldn’t even dare to show up in front of her." The grey wolf explained: "That’s why I boarded this ship. But now, there’s no problem. Either she’s been killed by you guys or she’s been captured. I can finally live a peaceful life."

According to its story, after entering the Real World, it quickly noticed that familiar scents were disappearing.

It avoided the special squad and targeted civilians who were out of the group...by biting them.

Sensing danger, it cautiously chose a method that did not offend either side. Quite a clever creature.

"So capturing humans is your Task?"

The grey wolf replied: "We receive the protection of the cruise ship, and we have to do something in return. As for why we bring humans back, I don’t know."

"Why not tell the other passengers that Little Red Riding Hood had been replaced?"

"Although you are not Abnormalities, you are not ordinary humans either." The grey wolf replied: "If something happens to the cruise ship, I might need your protection. If nothing happens, you are still passengers here. I don’t want to antagonize you either."

Li Changhe thought to himself, "Placing bets in advance? This is a clever fellow, not offending either side."

"Then tell us, which Abnormalities here are hostile to humans."
