"Why are you on this cruise ship?"

"Me?" The man in the red fox mask looked at the gray rabbit in astonishment, not knowing why the gray rabbit suddenly asked such a question with an obvious answer?

Mingyue nodded.

"Shouldn't you have guessed the answer to this question?" The man with the red fox mask didn't believe that the girl in front of him didn't know the answer to this question.

However, Mingyue asked another question: "Is the ticket in your hand gold or another color?"

The red fox masked man didn't think much about it and answered calmly, "Gold."

Mingyue's lips curled up slightly. "Everyone on this ship knows that those who have golden tickets can bring another person on board. With so few places, it will not be wasted. So where is your companion? Where is that person now?"

The man in the red fox mask stared at the bright moon with a gloomy look on his face and his thin lips pursed into a straight line.

Three bottles of whiskey made their hearts pound. At this moment, a group of burly men wearing blank masks walked past their table, attracting many gamblers' glances.

The underworld princess was sitting at a dining table not far away, stirring the liquid in the cup with a small spoon, and her empty eyes "looked" at them from time to time, which made Bourbon a little uneasy.

The elk housekeeper standing next to Mafia Karen was taking care of her eldest daughter diligently and responsibly, but she glanced at the black wolf from time to time, while the woman wearing the parrot mask was not seen, probably because she was collecting information.

"You should go back to your room and rest." Lei drank the black coffee in the cup and spoke calmly.

Mingyue Banyue looked at Lei with a cold face and said, "You are really annoying."

Lei ignored him and looked at the man in the red fox mask, "Will the cooperation continue?"

The red fox masked man nodded, "I should hope so."

"You trust us so much? Aren't you afraid... Ouch..." Mingyue covered the back of her head and turned to look at Scotland behind her. It was rare for her to see Scotland with a gloomy face and a very angry look, "Little Cake Brother..."

"Let's form an alliance." Scotland looked at the man in the red fox mask, "As you can see, we must protect her."

Mingyue murmured softly: "I don't need your protection..."

"Does it hurt?" Ooka Hongye looked at the back of Mingyue's head with a worried look on her face, "I'll blow on it and it will stop hurting."

Scotland glanced at Mingyue and continued to say to the red fox masked man: "So our goal is the same. If she didn't also have a letter name tag, we would never let her participate in this game."

The man in the red fox mask glanced back and forth between the gray rabbit and the gray wolf, as if considering how much truth there was in what the gray wolf said.

"Don't forget, this is an elimination match, and there can only be one winner in the end." Mingyue glanced at the three bottles of whiskey beside her, "I don't know when we will become competitors. In the next game, we may die, and our bodies will be thrown into the sea to feed the fish."

"I will protect you." The gray rabbit mask was reflected in Shuichi Akai's dark green eyes.

Mingyue turned her eyes away irritably and looked to the side angrily, "Don't be so confident. You don't even know what will happen in the future, so what's the point of talking about protection?"

The red fox masked man confirmed once again that the relationship between Gray Rabbit and Black Wolf was not very good. To be more precise, Gray Rabbit did not like Black Wolf, but the reason was beyond his comprehension. As for the Siamese cat who claimed to be Gray Rabbit's brother, it was very strange. The relationship between them was very strange.

"There are too many people here, let's go back to the room and talk." The man in the red fox mask suggested.

Mingyue brought the topic back to the topic, "You haven't told me yet, where are your companions?"

"He's dead." There was no joy or sadness in the voice of the man in the red fox mask, as if he was talking about something ordinary. After all, their lives were very short, and they might die in the next second under the enemy's gunfire or sharp blade.

"Is that the one who died at the central staircase?" Mingyue tilted her head and looked at the man in the red fox mask.

When Ooka Hongye thought of the tragically dead body, her face turned pale instantly and she hugged Mingyue's arm.

The man in the red fox mask stared at the gray rabbit for a long time, then nodded slightly. He glanced at the three men beside him and whispered, "You all know our identities. I hope you can be open and honest with us."

Bourbon pursed his lips tightly, took a deep breath, and whispered, "I am an intelligence businessman, or you can call me a detective, and these two are my assistants."

Lei glanced at Bourbon, a member of the organization's intelligence team, and felt that the identity of detective was indeed very useful, but unfortunately it was not suitable for him. He looked around and did not find any suspicious people. The brown bear had disappeared after being injured in the cage battle.

Mingyue Banyue looked at the public security officer Jōgaya Ling who was acting, raised her eyebrows, and said nothing more.

The man in the red fox mask seemed to believe that the Siamese cat was a detective about 70% to 80%. As for the 20% to 30% doubt, it was probably about the relationship between the other two people and the detective.

"You should have a bracelet in another room." Mingyue suddenly said, "If possible, let's go to that room."

The man in the red fox mask thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. You also have two golden tickets?"

Bourbon nodded slightly, smiling gently, "I would like to ask you to take care of my sister."

"I'm craving for a cigarette, let me have a smoke." Lei knocked on the cigarette box, and a cigarette popped out of the box and was held in his mouth.

Mingyue Banyue looked at the red fox masked man, "I told you, they wanted to leave and do other things a long time ago, but you still wanted to threaten them with me."

The man in the red fox mask showed a rare embarrassed expression on his face. They probably knew my identity a long time ago and guessed that I would not do anything to the gray rabbit, so they acted so calm at that time.

Scotland was worried that Mingyue would try to get him out, so he said before Mingyue opened her mouth, "You're not going to drive me away again, are you? Your guardian asked me to protect you."

Mingyue pursed her lips and swallowed back her words to send Scotland away. She looked at Scotland with some resentment. She knew that Gin had good intentions, but she was still a little dissatisfied with Gin for arranging Scotland here. After thinking about the code-named members in the action team, she felt that Gin's arrangement was not wrong. After all, she couldn't arrange Chianti or Cohen to act with her.

Instead of taking the elevator, they reached the target room via the stairs.

Scotland and the man in the red fox mask checked the room inside and out and found nothing suspicious.

The man in the red fox mask looked at the clean and tidy bed, and couldn't help but think of his two companions who died tragically, and clenched his fingers into fists.

Scotland drew the thick curtains and glanced at the two girls who were singing Japanese songs.

The red fox masked man looked at the gray wolf, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I'll go call the butler over. Sorry to bother you during this time."

"It's okay. Gray Rabbit used to live with me, and I have experience taking care of girls like her."

Ooka Hongye was very surprised when she heard this. "Little Moon doesn't live with your brother or your sister?"

Mingyue opened her mouth and stammered to explain, "I... my school is far away, so I live alone. After all, I'm freer that way and can do whatever I want."

"Can I do whatever I want? For example, can I stay up all night and watch TV?" Ooka Hongye looked at Mingyue with envy.

"You can't watch TV too late, but you can relax on the weekends and it's okay to watch TV a little later." Scotland looked at Ooka Momiji with a smile.

Mingyue grumbled in dissatisfaction: "I can't watch TV for a long time."

Scotland looked at Mingyue with a smile, "You can't play with your phone for too long either."

"It's a pity that my cell phone was taken away before I got on the ship. If I had a cell phone now, I could call my grandfather and exchange contact information with Xiaoyueliang." Ooka Hongye sighed.

However, Scotland secretly rejoiced, but was no longer rejoicing the next second.

Mingyue smiled and said, "We can memorize each other's contact information and add it when we get our phones back."

"Mmmmmmm!"

Ooka Hongye happily exchanged contact information with Mingyue. Scotland on the side secretly wrote down the information of the two girls. He noticed that the information Mingyue gave was not the same as that used in the organization, and it was most likely used in school.

"We are going to wash up, little cake brother, please don't peek!" Mingyue pulled Ooka Hongye and ran upstairs.

Scotland watched the two girls go upstairs, "Call me if you need anything."

"it is good!"

Soon, a faint sound of water was heard from upstairs.

In the bathroom, Mingyue turned on the shower and pulled Ooka Hongye to stand aside.

"Little Moon, aren't you going to take a shower?" Ooka Hongye looked at the running water in the shower with a puzzled look on her face.

"Hongye, do me a favor."

"What's the deal?"

"Pretend to fall in the bathroom and help me attract the gray wolf's attention."

"Huh? Why?"

"No reason." Mingyue saw that Ooka Hongye didn't want to help unless she told him, so she explained, "I just want to do something that I have to do."

Ooka Momiji tilted her head, "I don't understand."

"In short, I have to go out for a while, and Gray Wolf can't know about this. Can you help me?" Mingyue looked very expectant.

"Okay..." Ooka Hongye frowned slightly, "Will it be dangerous?"

Mingyue shook her head like a rattle, "There is no danger. The use of force is prohibited now. It is very safe."

Ooka Hongye nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll try."

Scotland, who was standing by the window downstairs, suddenly heard a shrill scream coming from the bathroom upstairs. Without thinking much, he ran upstairs in two steps, and saw Ooka Momiji standing alone in the bathroom.

"There...there are cockroaches..." Ooka Hongye stammered and pointed at the corner of the bathroom, but it was clean there and there was not even a shadow of a cockroach.

"I... I really saw it... a very big... a very big one..." Ooka Momiji stretched out his hand to gesture the size of the cockroach, but it didn't look like a normal cockroach at all. Instead, it looked like a cat.

Suddenly, Scotland came back to his senses, "Where's the gray rabbit?"

Ooka Hongye blinked rapidly, not daring to look at the handsome gray wolf in front of her.

Scotland's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly rushed out of the bathroom and ran downstairs. This was definitely Mingyue's plan. Since she couldn't get me away, she teamed up with Ooka Hongye to design a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. If nothing unexpected happened, she must want to leave the room.

Scotland jumped up and landed smoothly. Just as he was about to rush to the door, he heard the voice of the man in the red fox mask.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm not going anywhere. I just thought you were coming back, so I opened the door for you." Mingyue took her hand away from the door handle and reluctantly retreated into the room. Oh, if only she had been a few seconds earlier.

When the red fox masked man saw the gray wolf approaching, he did not expose the gray rabbit's lie, but just smiled and said, "Then you and I are quite in tune with each other."

"Hehe..." Mingyue smiled awkwardly, feeling the low pressure from Scotland behind her, she shrank her neck, "There are no snacks here."

"Mr. Tabby Cat guessed that the young lady wanted to eat snacks, so..." The old Dalmatian butler pushed in a cart filled with various desserts and snacks.

Scotland could barely suppress the upward curve of his lips.

Mingyue rolled her eyes and said, "I didn't take my pajamas."

However, the next second, the red fox masked man handed the bag in his hand to Gray Wolf, "Mr. Black Wolf asked me to bring it here."

Scotland reached out to take it. The bag was quite heavy. Lei was probably worried that Mingyue would make an excuse, so he took all the clothes.

Mingyue Banyue looked at the pile of clothes and sighed helplessly. Her plan to sneak out had failed.

The night was hanging over the dark sea.

On the first floor of the loft-style double-story balcony room, the man in the red fox mask and Scotland were taking a nap. After all, there was still a battle to fight tomorrow, and they had to keep their condition at the best level.

Bourbon and Lei did not come back. Mingyue guessed that they were either still trying to find out the news or had returned to their original room to rest.

On the second floor, the old Dalmatian butler sat on the stairs with his back to the room.

Mingyue sat at the desk, holding a pen, writing something on the letter paper.

Ooka Hongye came closer to Mingyue, "Are you just writing a letter to someone?"

"I guess so." Mingyue blew on the letter paper, and the ink dried quickly. She folded the letter paper very small and looked at Ooka Hongye beside her. "To be honest, I hate this method, but at the moment, it is the most effective."

After saying that, Mingyue glanced at the old Dalmatian butler sitting at the stairs and made a gesture to Ooka Hongye to keep quiet.

Ooka Momiji nodded vigorously.

Mingyue opened the window a crack, and a black crow had already landed there. Mingyue stuffed the letter through the crack, and the crow caught it in its beak, flapped its wings and flew away.

Ooka Hongye was surprised, "There are crows on the sea, and they actually listen to your commands."

"Shh, this is my secret." Mingyue raised a finger, "Can you keep it a secret for me?"

Ooka Hongye nodded and looked at the dark night sky. "Then can you let the crow pass a message to my grandfather? I want to go home."

Mingyue was silent for a long time. "Japan is very far away from us. We don't know how long it will take them to fly back." Perhaps the white swallow would be happy to do this, but he didn't come this time.

"Really?" Ooka Hongye was very disappointed, "They didn't let me call grandpa for help."

Mingyue looked at Ooka Hongye and didn't know what to say for a moment. Should she comfort her and relax, or reveal the darkness of this world to her? Mingyue couldn't make up her mind and looked down at the thick carpet under her feet.

However, Ooka Hongye smiled brightly. She noticed Mingyue's depressed look and comforted her, "Don't worry. I believe that grandpa will send someone to find me. We will definitely leave this cruise ship and all of us will be safe."

"Really? That's great." Mingyue responded dryly, wondering in her heart why the former Prime Minister let her granddaughter board this cruise ship, "Why are you here?"

"Hmm?" Ooka Hongye looked at Mingyue. "Grandpa didn't want to come, so I came in his place. I just didn't expect something like this to happen..."

Mingyue reached out and hugged Ooka Hongye, patting her back soothingly, "Well, you will be safe."

"It's not me, it's us." Ooka Hongye's eyes were clear and bright, "We will all be safe."

"The second elimination match..." Mingyue pursed her lips.

Ooka Hongye continued, "One of us will definitely win!"

"Hmm..." Mingyue's voice was a little dull.

Under the dark night, a pitch-black crow landed on the balcony of a cabin and pecked at the glass again and again with its sharp and hard beak until the floor-to-ceiling window was opened.
