I Wasn't Born Lucky

It was night, and the cruise ship was sailing on the sea, with an endless sea horizon in front of it.

It was eight o'clock at night, and there was no one on the bow deck at this time. It had to be said that it was a rare thing to see—in the past, there were always many people who loved to stand on the deck and look at the sea.

All this is because today is the first night of the passengers boarding the ship, and there is an even grander dance waiting for these guests inside the Oriental Mermaid.

In the center of the ball is a huge turntable with colorful neon lights on top of it, and eight pillars with feathers and balloons on them.

Outside the carousel, there is a circle of tables and chairs, each table has a bottle of red wine and a card folded into a swan.

When Xiao Li came over from his room, the dance party had already started, and the neon lights changed colors following the dynamic music, which made him dizzy for a moment.

The dancers in close-fitting miniskirts each used a pillar as a prop and danced to the music on the stage.

From time to time, several balloons would explode, heating up the atmosphere.

Some of the boys in the audience were staring straight at him—including Zhu Zhu and the others who followed the group of plot characters. He fixed his eyes on the dancer's thighs and chest, whistled, and clapped his hands excitedly.

Xiao Li stood at the door and glanced around, and happened to meet Ye Zeqing's eyes when he was close to the door.

Ye Zeqing sat alone at a table, he proudly raised his wine glass, and motioned to Xiao Li from a distance.

Xiao Li hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the direction where Ye Zeqing was sitting, but instead of sitting with him, he chose a table next to Ye Zeqing and sat down.

Ye Zeqing glanced in his direction. In the past, wherever he went, he was surrounded by stars and moons. His natural sense of ghosts made him irreplaceable in the dungeon world. Therefore, everyone often wanted to hug his thigh. Now Xiao Li He didn't mean that, but he was a little surprised.

However, Xiao Li didn't seem to be as simple as he appeared on the surface.

Ye Zeqing thought, he had faintly sensed a ghostly aura in Xiao's house before, but that ghostly aura was faintly visible, sometimes disappearing, presumably it was the aura left by the master behind the Xiao family, who deliberately protected this Xiao Li?Is he an apprentice of a master?

Xiao Li leaned back on the soft chair and watched the performance of the dancer in front of her for a while, she seemed to find it meaningless, half-pressed her eyes, picked up the card on the table, and unfolded it gently.

There is a sentence written on the card: This will be a unique trip.

Xiao Li folded the card back and put it back, then looked at the characters in the plot.

At this time, the dancer in front had already finished a song and began to take photos with passengers.

Those plot characters also moved, 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 was very sweet, she seemed to be of mixed race, with a thin waist and long legs, taller than Zhu Zhu.She bent down, made a V sign, and took a photo with Zhu Zhu.

"I want it too, I want it too, pretty lady, look at me." An Ran squeezed away another man who wanted to follow her, and came to the dancer's side.

The dancer was obviously more enthusiastic about girls than boys. She put her arms around An Ran's shoulders, put her face against the other's face, and took a photo.

"And I—" The last remaining man rushed forward impatiently.

"Lu Tang, slow down and you won't die, you hit me." An Ran stretched out her hand and rubbed her shoulder, complaining.

Standing behind them was a girl named Roseanne, who looked out of place compared to her enthusiastic friends.

For some reason, ever since she got on this cruise ship, Luo Shan had a feeling of being spied on in the dark. That feeling was very faint. She looked around but couldn't find anyone peeping at her. In the end, she could only take this feeling as what she wanted. Too much.

The group of them finished taking photos with the dancers one after another, and finally invited another guest to take a group photo, and they ended with satisfaction.

When the guests were busy taking photos with the dancers or chatting with the dancers, a middle-aged man in a well-fitting suit held a deck of cards in his hand, and looked for each guest in turn. He came to Luo Shan and the others and greeted them. He bowed politely: "Dear all the guests, are you having a good time?"

Lu Tang had just finished watching the dancer's performance, and was in high spirits. When he looked up and saw a big man, he didn't feel disappointed, and replied with a smile: "It's good."

"I have another episode here." The man unfolded the poker cards in his hand, facing them with the back of the cards, "Please draw another card."

An Ran glanced at him suspiciously. The man's polite smile was impeccable, so she randomly took a card from his hand, picked it up, and it was 4 of hearts.

She turned the cards around, facing the man, and waited for his explanation.

The man did not respond immediately, but signaled to the others to draw cards as well. Lu Tang drew diamond a, Zhu Zhu drew 9 of clubs, and finally Luo Shan drew q of clubs.

"This is our gift, please keep it close to you." After everyone finished smoking, the man did not explain, but left such a meaningful sentence, turned his steps, and left in front of them.

The man approached Xiao Li little by little, and first said the same thing to Ye Zeqing as he did to Luo Shan.

The young man put down the drink in his hand, and looked at the strange man suspected of being a staff member from beginning to end in a dispirited manner, but he didn't feel any ghost aura from him.

He drew a card from the middle, unfolded it, and it was 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 towards Xiao Li at the next table.

Ye Zeqing looked at his back, and the shadow on his arm moved like a tattoo, as if he was thinking about attacking this person, but finally chose to restrain himself.

Xiao Li had just seen the whole process from Ye Zeqing, and now the man came in front of him, he pinched his index finger and middle finger, and turned over the card in the air, kid, black joker.

"Wow," the man sighed for the first time since entering the arena, "this guest, you are so lucky."

Xiao Li picked up the card, and the neon lights fell on his face, half shadow and half bright: "Can it let you say a few more hints?"

The man shook his head: "No, but I can tell you, please cherish it as you cherish your life."

He put away the rest of the playing cards and went to find the rest of the single guests.

Xiao Li played with the little ghost card in his hand for a while with his fingers, put it in his pocket, and when he raised his head, he immediately caught Ye Zeqing's gaze.

Xiao Li: "...what's wrong?"

The young man stood next to him with his arms folded, and said in a calm tone, "You are very lucky."

Generally speaking, big and small ghosts belong to special cards. No matter what the card order 30340 is issued by this person, the status of these two cards is by no means ordinary, either excellent or extremely poor.

Ye Zeqing's expression was not quite right, as if he was thinking about something, before Xiao Li could reply, Ye Zeqing reached out and touched Xiao Li's sleeve suddenly, he reached out and retracted his hand like lightning, and muttered: "I'm lucky It’s been bad all the time, give me a little luck..."

Xiao Li: "..."

A generation of European emperors has just been outraged by others!

Ye Zeqing rubbed his fingertips, the fabric of Xiao Li's clothes still remained on them, he held the playing cards in his hand and looked at Xiao Li.

Xiao Li didn't respond, he stood up from his seat: "I'm going first."

The plot characters have been sticking to the dancing girl, and it seems that nothing happened on the first day.

Ye Zeqing rubbed his nose, and said something out of his throat: "In this kind of world, if you go back alone, you are usually the first to die."

What he said was oblique, and he was stating the fact on the surface, but secretly he was persuading Xiao Li not to go back alone.

Xiao Li got what he meant, smiled 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, I won't worry about you."

The smile on Xiao Li's face grew stronger, he left the ballroom without saying anything.

night.

Most of the people fell into sleep, and the outside moonlight shone on the sea, like a cake.

Xiao Li stood in the bathroom, turned on the tap, put his palms together, took some water, and washed his face.

It was almost eleven o'clock at night, and the bathroom was very quiet, only the sound of water flowing could be heard.

The boat was very stable, and there was no vibration at all.

Xiao Li took off the towel, wiped off the water droplets on her face, and looked at the mirror for a moment.

In the mirror, the teenager's forehead hair was wet with water, sticking to his forehead, his lips were stained with water, and he looked bright in color and beautiful in outline.

Just as he was about to wring out the towel and hang it on the shelf again, behind him on the right, there was a sudden "gurgling", like the sound of bubbles.

Xiao Li paused for a moment, and continued to hang up the towel before turning his head to look in the direction of the sound.

Over there are toilets, shower curtains, and a bathtub. The whole bathroom is not big, and it is almost unobstructed under Xiao Li's eyes.

There doesn't seem to be a place where ghosts can hide.

But in the next second, there was another sound of bubbles, accompanied by the sound of water coming out of some kind of object—just from the sound, it seemed that there was a wet ghost lurking under the surface of the water, blowing its nose against the surface of the water, making these sound, and then it came out of the water...

Xiao Li completely turned around and looked at the bathtub.

In his sight, the sea water overflowed from the spout of the bathtub.

Go up little by little, slowly filling the entire tub.

There is more and more water, and there is a fishy smell of sea water in the air.

Suddenly, an almost rotten arm stretched out from the gradually filling seawater fish tank!

There was still some seaweed wrapped around that hand, which seemed to be a dead body in the sea——

First the hands, and then the half of the head gradually rose from the water.

It has thick hair, and the skin on the forehead is blue.

Xiao Li seemed to be unable to stand it any longer. He looked around, picked up a basin from where the towels were placed, and scooped it up into the bathtub, just like scooping up fish in a fish tank, scooping up the human head and hands.

Then he held the basin with one hand, opened the toilet lid with the other hand, and poured the human head from the basin into the toilet together with his hands, and then Xiao Li closed the toilet lid.

There was a sound of violently hitting the water surface in the toilet, and the toilet lid was constantly rising and falling.

Xiao Li leaned against the toilet seat with his knees, and at the same time pressed the flush button——

With the sound of a flushing toilet, the world was silent.

A water ghost is about to appear in full body: "...?"
