Chapter 160 The Progress of Reality Without Suspense

Refusing the girls' invitations and conversations, Zhou Ze tried his best to ignore the eyes and comments of these melon-eaters, kept his breath shielded, and walked quickly to the cabin of the cruise ship, turned a few turns to make sure that no eyes were on him, and then disappeared in the corridor. in the shadows.

In the game, he has thoroughly figured out the route and structure of the entire cruise ship.

Although I dare not say that I can find the way with my eyes closed, I can be said to be familiar with the road, and I can even remember the location of every room where valuables and banknotes are stored...

That's right.

Before starting to save the cruise ship, Zhou Ze planned to save his wallet first.

Utilizing his agility and dexterity and the ability of the night dress to blend into the shadows, he felt as if he had passed through the crowded cruise ship, and easily visited all the dozens of rooms he had stepped on in the game before. .

As the saying goes, there is a way to steal.

He only takes half of the money in each room, and only takes the valuables from the rich, while ordinary people don't have a cent of their money...

However, there are actually not many poor people on this medium-to-large sightseeing cruise ship. Most of them are students and tourists from well-to-do families.

In less than ten minutes, he reaped a lot of money.

I got nearly 20 RMB in cash alone (converted in foreign exchange), and valuables like watches, necklaces, rings, and gold were worth more than 60 to [-] RMB. I don’t know how much they can sell.

In fact, the money is not too much.

Evenly divided, each person's loss would not exceed 3 to [-] yuan. Even ordinary people can accept it, let alone this group of petty bourgeoisie people?

After getting the property, he set out for the central plaza on the second deck, and found Ethel and his group who were strolling and shopping in the plaza without much effort.

The two beauties, one big and one small, are not less attractive in the crowd than him, and they can be seen at a glance.

"I need your help, go over there and talk."

When Zhou Ze walked up to Ethel, he got straight to the point, and didn't even bother to have a little buffer conversation, he was in a hurry.

Seeing a strange man suddenly chatting up his young lady, the housekeeper frowned and was about to step forward to expel him.

But Ethel seemed to guess Zhou Ze's identity and purpose at a glance, with a thoughtful look in her beautiful eyes, she raised her slender arms slightly to stop the housekeeper.

"You are……"

"Since your lord asked you to help, then follow my arrangement and don't ask too many questions."

Zhou Ze and Ethel's eyes met each other without blinking, and their attitude was extremely strong. They said in a slightly blunt English: "Time is running out, come with me, you should know what I'm talking about."

He knew very well that these three temporary teammates would not help him just because his attitude was a little stronger.

On the contrary, in the game, the stronger he is, the more obedient the opponent is, and the more efficient he is.

As for whether it will cause dissatisfaction with the temporary teammates, or if there is too little communication to improve the trust level... these are completely out of his consideration!
Zhou Ze is very clear about one thing.

These people are not his friends or partners, but only temporary teammates.

The word "temporary" is probably used by the world game to remind him that these teammates are not really with him. During this period, he can command and use them to his heart's content. There is no need to waste too much energy to maintain the relationship, as long as it is not too much to let the temporary teammates Just go against the water.

Ethel followed her so-called master's guidance and was ordered to help Zhou Ze.

For example, don't look at her willingness to listen to Zhou Ze now, if one day her master guides her to find a way to kill Zhou Ze, then she will not hesitate to be hostile to Zhou Ze.

Temporary teammates are almost like this relationship.

The two camps are different, and they act together only because of various interests or special reasons.

Is it okay to cooperate and cultivate feelings?no need.

Leading the three of them to a corner with few people, Zhou Ze read the lines he had memorized to his temporary teammates, and spent a minute explaining roughly the danger the cruise ship was facing and what to do next.

It took him a lot of effort to translate and memorize this large section of English lines.

"Put on the blindfold and meditate for 5 minutes. I will take you to the room where the blood sacrifice formation is located. No matter what happens during this period, you must not open your eyes, otherwise you may also be led to madness by the power of the old ruler."

Before taking them into the Xumi Secret Realm, Zhou Ze used the most effective persuasion method in the game.

"Don't question my words, don't try to peep, your Lord doesn't want you to sacrifice before starting the mission, does he?"

He said this while staring into Ethel's eyes, and activated his inquiry skill to induce her to tell the truth.

Zhou Ze is very clear.

Among the three, Ethel is the one who has the most right to speak. Even her mother never contradicts her words. It may be because of her status as a nun that she has a high status... It is estimated that there are many secrets hidden behind this Isabel family. and stories.

Ethel held the cross in front of her chest, smiled slightly and nodded at him.

After getting the affirmation of the three, he fastened the blindfold on them firmly and put it into the Xumi Secret Territory.

The next process is simple.

He transformed into a little goblin to avoid the obstruction of the cultists and sneaked into the cabin. He took the shortest route through the first and second floors of the cabin, and finally arrived at the cold, damp and water-filled third floor of the cabin.

To be honest, the intensity of mental pollution on the negative second floor was greater than he expected.

Although he had seen it many times on the screen, witnessing the wriggling blood and sarcoma covering the walls, as well as the pungent bloody smell and strong stench in reality still made his psychological defense almost collapsed and made him feel uncomfortable all over.

Zhou Ze did not hesitate to turn on the 'Player's Soul' to avoid his psychological weakness.

But in addition to the physical discomfort, the environment on the negative second floor also has some kind of mystical spiritual influence.

Every second of staying here, there is a distorted painful feeling in the brain as if being continuously stuffed into steel nails, and the consciousness is so drowsy that it is almost unable to support the eyelids. It is no wonder that the mental value in the game will increase by % A speed drop.

"It's here, wait for the explosion to sound."

Zhou Ze took off their blindfolds, put the temporary teammates at the cabin door one by one, and separated out the mirror image to stay beside the old steward to help him.

In fact, it's not that he didn't think about summoning the game character Guda to help him to further reduce the difficulty of the game.

But after careful consideration, I gave up.

Since the normal process can perfectly pass the level, there is no need to waste 100 points of merit.

Unlike the previous four games, Zhou Ze found that in the process of playing "Rite of Cthulhu", there are two points that are not exactly the same as reality.

In the game, there is neither "Shengui Yiyi" experience card nor the option to summon game characters.

I don't know if the absence of these two item abilities is a simple game loophole, or is there any special meaning behind it?Is it possible that the game is telling him in a disguised form that "Shengui Biyi" and "Summoning Guda" should not be wasted here?
