It's night, and the cruise ship is sailing on the sea, with an endless horizon in front of it.It was eight o'clock in the evening, and the bow deck was empty, which is a rare sight to see - in the old days, there were always many people who loved to stand on the deck and look out at the sea.All this because today is the first night of the passengers, and there is an even bigger ball waiting for them inside the Oriental Mermaid.In the center of the ball is a huge turntable, with colorful neon lights overhead, and eight pillars stained with feathers, balloons, and other items.Outside the turntable, there is a circle of tables and chairs, each with a complimentary bottle of red wine and a card folded into a swan.When Xiao Li came from his room, the dance party had already begun, and the neon lights changed colors with the dynamic music, which made him a little dizzy for a while.Dancers in close-fitting miniskirts use a pillar as a prop and dance to the music on stage.From time to time, a few balloons will burst to heat up the atmosphere of the scene.Some of the boys in the audience already had straight eyes - including Zhu Zhu and others who followed the plot characters, his eyes were firmly fixed on the thighs and chest of the dancer, whistled, and clapped excitedly.Xiao Li stood at the door and glanced around, and happened to meet Ye Zeqing's gaze when he was close to the door.Ye Zeqing sat alone at a table, he proudly picked up his wine glass and gestured to Xiao Li from afar.Xiao Li hesitated for a moment and walked in the direction where Ye Zeqing was sitting, but instead of sitting with him, he chose an empty seat next to Ye Zeqing and sat down.Ye Zeqing glanced in his direction, in the past, everywhere he went, the stars held the moon, his innate induction of ghosts made his role in the copy world irreplaceable, so often everyone wanted to hug his thighs, but now Xiao Li didn't mean this, he was a little surprised.However, Xiao Li does not seem to be as simple as it seems.Ye Zeqing thought, he faintly sensed a little ghost aura in the Xiao Mansion before, but that ghost aura loomed, coming and going, thinking that it was the aura left by the master behind the Xiao family, and he deliberately protected this Xiao Li?
Could it be that he is the disciple of a superior man?
Xiao Li leaned back on the soft chair and watched the performance of the dancer in front of him for a while, as if he didn't feel interesting, he picked up the card on the table with half-pressed eyes and gently unfolded it.The card reads: It's going to be a great trip.Xiao Li folded the card back and put it back, and looked at the plot character again.At this time, the dancers in front of them had finished dancing and began to take photos with the passengers.The plot characters also moved, and Zhu Zhu was the first to rush towards the most beautiful dancer among them, and raised his mobile phone: "Can you take a photo with me?"
”The dancer is very sweet-looking, she looks like a mixed-race child, with a thin waist and long legs, taller than Zhu Zhu.She bent down, made a V-shape, and took a photo with Zhu Zhu."
I want it too, I want it too, beautiful young lady look at me."
An Ran squeezed away the other man who wanted to pounce on him and came to the dancer's side.The dancer was obviously more enthusiastic about the girls than the boys, and she put her arms around An Ran's shoulders and pressed her face against each other's faces to take a picture."
And me—" The last remaining man rushed forward impatiently."
Lu Tang, you slow down and you won't die, you hit me."
An Ran reached out and rubbed his shoulders and complained.A girl named Roshan stood right behind them, looking out of place compared to her enthusiastic friends.Somehow, ever since she got on this cruise ship, Roshan had a feeling of being spied on in the dark, and that feeling was very faint, and she looked around, but she couldn't find anyone peeping at her, and in the end she could only think too much of this feeling for herself.After taking photos with the dancing girls one after another, they finally invited another guest to take a group photo, and then they ended the show with satisfaction.While the guests were busy taking photos or accosting the dancers, a middle-aged man in a well-fitting suit held a deck of playing cards in his hand, and looked for each guest in turn, he came to Luo Shan and the others, and bowed politely to them: "Distinguished guests, are you having a good time?"
”Lu Tang had just finished watching the dancer's performance, and his interest was high, and when he looked up and saw a big man, he didn't disappoint the fun, and replied with a smile: "It's good." ”"I have one more episode here."
The man unfolded the playing cards in his hand and pointed them with the back of the card, "Please draw another card." ”An Ran glanced at him suspiciously, the man's polite smile was impeccable, and she casually pulled one out of the other party's hand, picked it up and looked at it, 4 hearts.She turned her cards around and faced the man, waiting for him to explain.The man did not respond immediately, but motioned for the rest to draw cards as well, Lu Tang drew a square A, Zhu Zhu was a plum 9, and finally Luo Shan drew a plum Q."
This is our gift, please keep it close to you."
After everyone had finished drawing, the man did not explain, but left such a meaningful sentence, and left in front of them with a twist of footsteps.The man approached Xiao Li's vicinity little by little, and first said the same thing to Ye Zeqing as he did to Luo Shan.The young man put down the wine in his hand and looked at the strange man who was suspected of being a staff member from beginning to end, but he did not feel any ghost breath from the other party.He drew a card from the middle section and unfolded it to see that it was a 9 of clubs.The young man raised his eyebrows: "What does this mean?"
”The man in front of him put away the remaining playing cards, smiled slightly, and walked to Xiao Li at the next table.Ye Zeqing looked at his back, the tattoo-like shadow on his arm moved, as if he wanted to attack this person, and finally chose to restrain himself.Xiao Li had already seen the whole thing from Ye Zeqing, and at this moment the man came to him, he used his index finger and middle finger to clip it, and turned over the card in the air, little ghost, black joker."
Wow," the man exclaimed, for the first time since entering, "you're in luck, this guest." ”Xiao Li picked up the card, and the neon light fell on his face, half shadow and half light: "Can it make you say a few more hints?"
”The man shook his head: "No, but I can tell you, please cherish it as much as you cherish your life." ”He put away the rest of the playing cards and went to find the rest of the guests.Xiao Li played with the little ghost card in his hand with his fingers for a while, put it in his pocket, and immediately bumped into Ye Zeqing's scrutinizing gaze as soon as he raised his head.Xiao Li: "......
What's wrong?
”The young man stood beside him with his hands on his chest, and said in a lukewarm tone, "Your luck is good. ”Generally speaking, big and small ghosts are special cards, and regardless of the purpose of the person's dealing, these two cards are by no means ordinary, either very good or very poor.Ye Zeqing's expression was not quite right, as if he was pondering something, and before Xiao Li could reply, Ye Zeqing suddenly reached out and touched Xiao Li's sleeve, he reached out and retracted his hand like lightning, and muttered: "My luck has not been very good, share my luck ......"
Xiao Li: "......" generation of European emperors has been rubbed by people like this!
Ye Zeqing rubbed his fingertips, there was still the touch of the fabric of Xiao Li's clothes on it, he held the playing card in his hand and looked at Xiao Li.Xiao Li didn't react, he got up from his seat: "I'll go first." ”The characters in the plot have been glued to the dancer's side, and it seems that nothing has happened on this first day.Ye Zeqing touched his nose and said as if squeezing out of his throat: "In this kind of world, when a person goes back, he is usually the first to die." ”What he said was roundabout, on the surface, he was stating this fact, but secretly he was persuading Xiao Li not to go back alone.Xiao Li got what he meant, laughed very lightly, and patted Ye Zeqing on the shoulder before he became angry: "Don't worry." ”Ye Zeqing turned his head: "Tell me what to do with confidence, I won't worry about you." ”The smile on Xiao Li's face grew, he didn't say anything, and left the dance hall.Night.Most people were immersed in sleep, and the moonlight from the outside world shone on the sea, like a cake.Xiao Li stood in the bathroom, turned on the faucet, put his palms together, took some water, and washed his face.It was close to eleven o'clock at night, and the bathroom was quiet, except for the sound of the water.The boat drove steadily, and the shaking was not noticeable at all.Xiao Li took off the towel, wiped the water droplets on his face, and looked in the mirror for a moment.The young man's forehead in the mirror was wet with water and stuck to his forehead, and his lips were stained with water.When he wanted to wring out the towel and hang it back on the shelf again, behind his right, there was a sudden "gurgling" sound, like a bubble sound.Xiao Li's movements stopped for a moment, and after continuing to hang up the towel, he turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from.There is a toilet and a shower curtain, and a bathtub, the whole bathroom is not big, and it is almost unobstructed under Xiao Li's gaze.There doesn't seem to be a place to hide ghosts.But the next second, there was another bubble sound, accompanied by the sound of some kind of object coming out of the water - just from the sound, it sounded like a water ghost who was drenched all over the water, lurking under the surface of the water, blowing on the surface of the water, making these sounds, and then it came out of the water......
Xiao Li turned to look at the bathtub completely.In his line of sight, sea water spilled out of the spout of the bathtub.Rise little by little, slowly filling the entire tub.There is more and more water, and the air is filled with a fishy smell of seawater.Suddenly, an arm close to decay stretched out from the fish tank that was gradually filling with seawater!
There was still some seaweed wrapped around the hand, which seemed to be a dead body in the sea—first the hand, and then half of the head gradually rising from the water.It has thick hair and a bluish patch of skin on its forehead.Xiao Li didn't seem to be able to stand it anymore, he looked left and right, picked up a basin of water from the place where the towel was placed, and fished it into the bathtub, just like fishing for fish in a fish tank, scooping up the head and hands.Then he held the basin with one hand, opened the toilet lid with the other hand, poured the head in the basin into the toilet bowl with his hands, and then Xiao Li closed the toilet lid.There was a loud banging on the water in the toilet, and the toilet lid was undulating.Xiao Li pressed his knee against the toilet lid and pressed the flush button at the same time - with the sound of a flushing toilet, the world fell silent.The water ghost who is about to show his whole body: "..................?
