Infinitely Criticizing the Villain for Being Like My Ex-Boyfriend

The watch Zhang Chunliang brought from outside the copy was broken because it got wet.

In this windowless, fully enclosed lounge, he had no sense of the passage of time.

All I heard was that the corridor outside was bustling and noisy for a while. Probably the crew members who were responsible for the day's work came back to rest, and soon there was no noise again.

Not knowing the exact time made him a little anxious.

So he searched in the lounge for a while, but didn't find a watch.

However, this search actually led him to a new discovery - one edge of the wallpaper above his bed was lifted up, as if it had been torn by someone.

He leaned over the wall and carefully peeled off the wallpaper with the warped edges.

Behind the wallpaper was a damp, mottled grey wall that gave off a faint, unpleasant fishy smell.

In addition, he saw a small piece of paper sandwiched between the wallpaper and the wall.

Zhang Chunliang took the note and opened it.

The writing on the damp paper had blurred and looked like black tears, but the general content could still be discerned.

"Be careful" "Don't go out at night" "There's something outside" "Don't let them know" "Stay awake" "We are cursed"

Those lines of crooked handwriting revealed the writer's fear, and made Zhang Chunliang feel creepy.

He understood the implication, and immediately reacted quickly by climbing out of bed and turning off the lights in the room.

Then, he held his breath and looked intently at the crack in the door.

——The lights outside the corridor of the lounge are on 24 hours a day. If something walks to his door, a shadow will definitely appear.

In the quiet room, the noise of the world was infinitely amplified. The sound insulation in the lounge was not good, which allowed him to hear some noisy movements.

There was the faint sound of waves, fierce rock music, objects as hard as stone colliding with each other, and people whispering in a language he couldn't understand...

Among them, the loudest rock music happened to come from the room next to his.

I don’t know how long it had been, but suddenly there were some noises outside the door, and a pair of unhurried footsteps echoed in the corridor.

The voice stopped precisely at the door of the room on Zhang Chunliang's right, and then knocked on the door several times.

"Rick? Are you back? I heard you listening to the songs of the New Cool Band!" A young male voice complained outside the house, "Old John, that annoying guy, left me alone so late again. Doesn't he know that there is a curfew in the lounge? He just orders me around..."

It seemed that the person in the corridor was a friend of the employee next door, who had just come to complain to him after get off work.

However, the note seemed to mention that you cannot go out at night because there is something outside.

Is this a rule targeting players? Why can other crew members still go out?

The rock music in the next room stopped abruptly, and a hesitant and doubtful male voice came from the next room: "Argen? Why... don't you go back to your room? I remember the captain has a ban that forbids us to leave the room after 11 o'clock in the evening..."

"That's no big deal. The passengers and bosses on the upper deck are still partying. The captain is just afraid that poor guys like us from the bottom of the class will show up there and spoil their fun. He even won't let us leave the room. How can he bully us like this? How boring!" said the person outside the door indignantly.

Then, he changed the subject and lowered his voice mysteriously: "Open the door quickly, it's so boring on the boat, I brought some fun things..."

The people in the room were in a dilemma, and finally said embarrassedly: "The captain said that we can't open the door and we can't go out... I think you... why don't you go back?"

"Tsk." The man outside the door sneered disdainfully, "You are also a coward. If I had known you were such a person, I would not have risked being caught by the captain for violating ship regulations to come to you. Look, I came out too, and nothing happened!"

The boy in the room was probably at an age where he had to save face. He couldn't bear to hear his companions looking down on him like that. He was provoked by his companions and immediately ran to the door. He opened the door and muttered, "I'm not a coward. I just don't want to be kicked off the boat... Please don't--"

He suddenly stopped talking halfway through.

Zhang Chunliang's heart skipped a beat, as if he had a premonition of something. He slowly covered his mouth and patiently put his ear against the wall.

But there was no more sound from next door.

There was no sound of a door closing, or the two boys talking, or even cries of surprise or screams of danger.

It was like a drop of water suddenly melting into the sea without causing any splashes.

Silent silence permeated the entire lounge area.

Zhang Chunliang believed that he was not the only one who heard the conversation between the two people next door, but up to now, no crew member had come out to check the situation, and everyone was eerily quiet.

Zhang Chunliang tried to catch the movement next door, but after midnight, he heard nothing except the sound of the waves, the occasional laughter of the passengers on the boat, and the strange sound of rocks hitting each other.

It was as if the conversation just now was just an illusion caused by his excessive fright.

"Hee...hee hee..." I don't know how long it took, but a sharp and ethereal laughter was heard, and the sound was a bit like a child who had succeeded in a prank.

Zhang Chunliang frowned and put his ear against the wall to identify the source of the laughter - he felt that the laughter came from next door.

"I know you're awake." A sharp, childish voice came clearly from next door. The voice was so close that it seemed to be right next to Zhang Chunliang's ear. "I heard your breathing~"

He quickly raised his head and looked at the wall warily.

Behind the thin wall, an unknown guy was facing him, whispering to him in an intimate and terrifying manner.

"Do you want to play with me too?" the guy said excitedly, "I'm here to find you."

Zhang Chunliang's face changed and he looked towards the door of his room.

Three seconds after the voice disappeared, a dark shadow appeared in the crack of his door as expected.

Then, there was a knock on his door: "I'm here to play with you, open the door!"

The knocks on the door started out as three polite knocks and one long knock, then became rapid and intense.

Finally, the thing outside the door began to bang on it angrily.

"Why don't you open the door? Why don't you open the door?! Don't you want to play with me?"

Zhang Chunliang's door was slammed loudly, but he remained silent and refused to respond to the guy outside.

The intense knocking on the door lasted for about half an hour. The guy didn't get a response, so he left unwillingly.

Zhang Chunliang did not move, but just looked at the crack in the door patiently - as expected, a few minutes later, an eye quietly appeared at the crack in the door, and the eye rolled around, trying to find the person in the room.

However, Zhang Chunliang's position was relatively hidden, and the eyes did not find him. After several fruitless searches, the guy outside finally left.

After everything was over, Zhang Chunliang felt a strong sense of sleepiness. He had experienced so many high-energy scenes on the first day of entering the game that he was really overwhelmed.

So, he placed several defensive items around him before closing his eyes and falling into a restless light sleep.
