Genshin Impact: Dance of Sinners

After an incident like this happened at noon, Link had no intention of continuing to eat. He first went back to his room to rest for a while, and then began to think about what he should do next.

After the morning's exploration, Link had searched the first and second floors of the cruise ship, but found nothing special. But this was within Link's expectation.

The first and second floors of the cruise ship are open to passengers. Even if Narud wanted to hide someone, he would not put it in such a conspicuous place.

The real place to hide the slaves would be in the work area below decks.

Link squinted his eyes slightly and decided to wait until dark at night to explore the reality of this work area.

........................

........................

........................

The moon was high in the sky and the night was dark. Link was wearing dark clothes and hiding in the shadow of the boathouse like a ghost.

A bright lamp was shining in the sea breeze, and two sailors on duty were chatting on the ship's board.

"Sigh... When will these miserable days end? I float around on the boat all day long, and I don't even know if my wife has been stolen."

"Shut your stinky mouth and stop saying these nasty words."

"Oh, have you heard? When Carmel was cleaning the toilet this morning, he heard the cry of a child!"

"I'm going, is it true?"

"Why are you so scared, coward?"

"Bah, have you heard of Enol's story?"

"what story?"

"She's just a dancer. She was spotted by Lord Venado when she was performing on the ship, but she was accidentally killed."

"After this woman died, strange things happened on our ship from time to time."

"What's weird?"

"That is to say, if you wander around at night, you will be pushed into the sea by Enol's resentful spirit..."

"You'd better shut up, you, I wasn't scared before, but I'm scared of you!"

"You are afraid of a chicken, but we two men are afraid of a ghost? If there is really any evil spirit, I would like to taste what it feels like for the woman Lord Venado falls in love with..."

"What the hell, you are really a toad*frog, you are ugly and you are still playing tricks!"

………………

Link's stealth technique is very special. Unlike the constant jumping and rolling in action movies, he just walks quietly on the ground.

Get stuck in the blind spot of patrolling sailors at a fast or slow speed, and keep moving towards your destination.

Link was extremely skilled and easily sneaked into the work area that was restricted to service personnel.

The work area is quite spacious, about the same size as the first deck of a cruise ship. Link walked around briefly and frowned.

The work area can be subdivided into six areas: captain's room, staff dormitory, kitchen, public toilet, galley, and mechanical room.

But these six areas, except for public restrooms and staff dormitories, are all locked. Faintly, a woman's moans can also be heard from the captain's cabin...

Link thought for a while. He did have some skills in unlocking, but he was not a master. Moreover, Fontaine is famous for various clockwork creations, and the country's locks are notoriously difficult to open in the world of thieves.

Link can be unlocked through violence, but once discovered by the captain, he may be alerted.

………………

It seems that if you want to explore the entire workspace, you have to think of other ways.

Link felt a little strange. He was curious about how Venado kept such a large group of slaves in the cabin.

Even livestock need a place to live and something to eat.

Human trade is also an unforgivable felony in Fontaine. With so many sailors, there must be only a small number of people who know the inside story. So even in the work area, there are some places that "ordinary people" are not allowed to enter.

Link couldn't be sure who among these sailors knew the inside story, but among them... there must be someone working in the kitchen to provide food for the slaves.

Link nodded slightly. He originally planned to use the "kitchen" as a breakthrough point to try to investigate.

But after all the time, Link decided to explore the staff dormitory first.

………………

The staff quarters are distributed with beds and tables. In addition to the captain, the first mate and the mechanic also have separate rooms. The rest are divided into men and women and are located in two large rooms.

The mechanic's room was locked, but the first officer's room was not. Link first tested it with the wind element, and after confirming that there was no problem, he softly pushed the door open and entered.

The house was messy, with all kinds of things placed in a mess, and there was an unpleasant smell in the air. The big dungeon man was lying on the bed with his belly exposed like a dead pig, snoring loudly.

Link carefully rummaged around the room. Although the room was messy, he quickly found what he wanted.

"Bunch of keys"

Taking out a piece of ooze that had been prepared, Link rubbed the five keys on the key chain one by one, and then adjusted everything back to their original positions.

Go out and close the door.

Everything is fine, then...

Link glanced at the toilet that was exuding a disgusting stench, and out of professional ethics, he bravely walked in...

Fortunately, there are no separate men's and women's toilets here, there is only one, otherwise Link would have to check twice.

...............

Puff~~~Puff puff puff puff~~

"Oh~~~"

The sound of the solid-liquid mixture splashing suddenly rang in his ears along with the man's pleasant moans, which made Link's scalp tingle. Due to the Morgan family's keen sense of smell, staying in such a public restroom is simply torture for Link.

But Link is still diligently exploring possible abnormalities in the toilet...

………! ?

The purple eyes shrank, and Link suddenly smelled a strange smell...

Bloody smell?

But just when Link was about to smell and identify it carefully...

Puff puff puff puff puff puff~~~~

"Oh~~~Oh~~"

I*******

Link held his breath. He thought he was too sensitive. Maybe some girl's aunt had arrived, and it was possible to solve the problem in the toilet.

Although Link has professional ethics, his moral level is not very high. For an illusory possibility, if Link was asked to smell it, Link asked himself that he still couldn't do it.

That’s all for today’s exploration. It’s almost time to go back.

Walk out of the toilet, walk through the corridor, go up the stairs to the deck, and then follow the path on the deck to the lobby on the first floor...

Link breathed a sigh of relief and walked slowly up the escalator to the second floor, ready to go back to his room and take a nap...

...............

The man's footsteps suddenly stopped at the corner of the stairs.

An extremely strong and pungent smell of blood entered his nose, making Link's brain feel suffocated for a moment.

Link stabilized his breathing, raised his legs and walked up to the second floor...

What I saw was horrifying.

The red blood was stained, exuding a sad light under the cold moonlight.

The already cold blood spread from the carpet under Link's feet to a room with an open door. In a daze, Link seemed to see a demon, dragging a blood-soaked corpse for a leisurely stroll in the corridor, and then opened a door to hell...

Link didn't speak, he just quietly followed the blood trail to the room.

The number "207" is written on the house number outside the room. As for the inside of the room...

Red, a big swath of red.

The scattered red liquid blooms and scatters freely in the room like the ink in the hands of an artist, forming a thrilling artistic picture.

The window next to the bed is open, and the sea breeze blows the curtains like plum petals, rattling the blood-stained pages on the table, mixing the salty smell of sea water with the fishy smell of blood...

This blood lotus with both color and fragrance is too beautiful.
