It was a kitchen knife with a slender handle.

I pressed Ji Xiao's waist and abdomen with one hand, and pressed the palm against his skin, and felt his abdominal muscles move slightly with the movement of typing.The other hand moved forward and pulled out the knife.

Under the strip of cloth, the blade is thin and sharp.

This action caught Ji Xiao's attention.He looked at it and gave a soft "ah".

After that, he sat up suddenly, took the knife away from my hand, and stared at it with a puzzled look.

I thought to myself, that's not enough, can he still not know where the knife came from?

But Ji Xiao obviously doesn't have such a bad memory.

He leaned closer, looked very serious, typed a few more lines, and then handed me the phone.

I read the above text, the content roughly has three aspects.

First, Ji Xiao asked me how I feel about the things outside.

Second, he suggested that there is no need to do "that kind of" thing to cover up, and a movie can be shown.Although there is no signal here, there are also DVD players and discs for entertainment.

The third is to explain to me that he just got the knife from the kitchen.However, now that "lunch" disappeared, leaving the knife and plate behind, he couldn't figure it out.

I read it and sighed.

He looked at me a little nervously.

I pointed to the DVD player next to me, and Ji Xiao laughed, knowing that I promised him.Because of this, he came to kiss me again, rubbing his forehead against mine, and it was still a kitten.

I hugged him and deepened the kiss a lot, but he started to move around, calling "husband" and trying to push me away.

It's too much.

I grabbed the back of his neck, and he softened all of a sudden, I'm afraid he didn't even remember his worries about the outside world.

He still whispered: "Honey, we..."

I bit his ear and said something softly.

The tips of his ears were red, startled and ashamed, mixed with disbelief.To be honest, I think he needs to thank me. The original tense atmosphere has been completely broken by now.After I finished speaking, I leaned back a little and looked at him with a smile.Ji Xiao was angry, but still nodded.

He promised me one thing.

The specific fulfillment will have to wait until we return to Haicheng.

Refreshed, I went down to load the DVD player.It's just that I'm having a bit of trouble picking between the pile of discs: there's a wide variety of movies, from clichéd urban romances to sci-fi blockbusters, and even one that seems like a good fit for where we're at right now. "Ghost Ship".

I slowly rubbed my fingers on the plastic bag containing "Ghost Ship", looking back at Ji Xiao.

Ji Xiao was still looking at the knife, then remembered something, knelt on the bed, bent down to reach the suitcase.

In his posture, the hem of his jacket hangs empty, and the lines of his waist and hips are very beautiful.But I know that he didn't mean to seduce me, he was just taking something.

I feel a little regretful, watching Ji Xiao take out a PAD from the interlayer of the suitcase, then sit back on the bed, holding a pen, frowning, and seriously sketching on the screen.

I thought about it for a moment, turned around, and finally flipped the "Ghost Ship" disc over.

The back of the disc can reflect light, reflecting my expression at the moment.

I looked down, and felt that the self at this moment was completely different from the self when I was with Ji Xiao, not so "unserious", more, it was a kind of indifference.

In just a few hours, Ji Xiao and I were not considered "in danger", but the situation was obviously not good.

I think of an ancient poem: The rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings.

For this reason, I sighed and pulled out a youth love movie.Very clichéd plot: campus love, parents' opposition, breakup, and because of a sudden infectious disease, they experienced isolation, broke the window to escape, and reconciled.However, in the end, it was defeated by the reality. At the end, the wedding of the woman, the man who had just witnessed his girlfriend cheating was sitting in the church, looking at his first love, and fantasizing about the situation where he escaped with her.

Other people's joys and sorrows were staged on the TV screen, while Ji Xiao was held in my arms, and I drew a circle on the PAD screen with a pen.

I typed and told him: I believe it, there is indeed a problem.

And, I also said that I will follow Ji Xiao's arrangements for everything after that.

Ji Xiao divided the circle into 24 pieces. I took a look and knew that this symbolized "24 hours".Then, he listed the four crew members on board that we have seen so far, and then listed their descriptions and existing doubts.

There is no doubt that the words of those who appear in all three times have conflicting words.Needless to say what Amor said about the kitchen duo, the captain’s doubts were not too obvious, but he could still think of it: According to the captain’s intention, the kitchen would not have prepared food for Ji Xiao and me.

That's right, according to the original itinerary plan, it is indeed the case.

But in this way, it seems very strange that Duterte freely served me and Ji Xiao with French fries and steak.

And Ji Xiao's actions in the kitchen were undoubtedly to avoid the sight of the two crew members and slide out the kitchen knife, let's not mention that for now.

I type: so is there any problem between Amor and the captain?

Ji Xiao's pen paused on the screen, then took the mobile phone from my hand, and typed: It seems that there is no, but when the captain appeared, Amor "disappeared".I doubt……

Before the content behind came out, there was a sudden knocking sound from the direction of the door.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

Just listening to the sound, I can imagine how nervous the knocker was.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

It was almost like something was chasing after my ass.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk-"

Ji Xiao's body trembled slightly, and he sat up straight in my arms. He looked at me with a clear "why did it start again so soon" on his face.He opened his mouth a little, as if he wanted to ask me something.

I squeezed his hand and made a mouth shape: listen to you.

Ji Xiao took a deep breath.

His aura suddenly changed, he was cold and unstoppable.

I think, I understand the origin of this change.

He wanted to protect me in this dangerous environment.

I was moved by this thought.

Even if I know rationally, I shouldn't and can't think about these things at a critical moment.But what did that sentence say?Can't help but yearn for it.

Ji Xiao really loves me.

He finally went to open the door.

Before leaving, Ji Xiao picked up the kitchen knife again and put it on his waist.On the few steps to the door, he rewrapped the blade with cloth strips.I watched and thought, he doesn't need to hide in front of me, but he can do the same thing in just half a minute in the kitchen, which can be said to be ingenious.

When the door was opened, a strange crew member appeared outside.

This is the fifth.

The new man is shorter than all his colleagues, judging by his height, it only reaches half of Ji Xiao's upper arm.He spoke to Ji Xiao in a very eager voice, babbling, his thick black eyebrows twisted with the voice, like two reptiles.

I listen, it means something happened on board and he's in a panic and trying to get support.

Ji Xiao looked at him quietly, as if evaluating something.After that, he asked the short man outside: "What happened?"

There was confusion in the tone, and the hand was on the door from beginning to end, revealing a clear distrust.

Ji Xiao was conveying to the person on the opposite side: How could I believe what you said so suddenly and inexplicably?

If I didn't know what Ji Xiao looked like before opening the door, I might have been tricked too.

My mood calmed down, and I went to look at the person outside again.When I saw the captain's panic, I was already tired, and I thought to myself that this was really "repeating" too much.Today, this feeling is even clearer.But this is not something that can be revealed in front of Ji Xiao, his worries and anxieties are all real, it's because I have no real sense of all these.

I believe in Ji Xiao, but it doesn't mean I have to panic because of a danger that didn't happen.

Long story short.Seeing Ji Xiao's expression, "No. [-]" was not angry, but more like grasping at straws.

The short man tried to enter the room, but was stopped by Ji Xiao without a trace several times.Afterwards, "No. [-]" begged Ji Xiao with a bitter face, and asked bluntly, "Can I go in and talk?"

Ji Xiao maintained the utmost vigilance as a passenger, and said, "If you really encounter a problem, why not go to the captain..."

"No. [-]" raised his voice suddenly, and said, "The captain is someone with problems! No, he is no longer a human being!"

Ji Xiao: "..."

I swear, after hearing these words, Ji Xiao first showed a look that was difficult to describe in words.It seems to be bored, and it seems to be pure, similar to the distress I had when I pushed him to the table to do the paper in the third year of high school.

I started to laugh.

It turned out that Ji Xiao was in the same mood as me.

He eventually put in "Number Five."

For the next 10 minutes, we hear a story similar to Almo's, but with different details.

According to the crew member named Klasson, earlier, the captain suffered a car accident and unfortunately died.These employees were packaged under the command of another captain, but the new captain was only on temporary duty, rarely going to sea, and most of the work was still done by the remaining crew members.

They felt hard at first, but gradually, they began to feel less hard.

I thought to myself: This version of "Extra Crew", from the core of the story, is really exactly the same as Amor's.

Ji Xiao said slowly: "This is too ridiculous."

Klaathon—forget it, the name is so hard to remember, I decided to call him by number—said, "No, I—ah!"

In the middle of speaking, No. [-] suddenly screamed, his eyes widened, and he looked behind Ji Xiao.

He and I meet eyes.

I blinked and smiled.

Seeing this, No. [-] staggered and took a step back, pointing in my direction: "This, this is..."

I shouldn't have laughed, but his looks and expressions are much more vivid than Amor's.

Under my gaze, Number Five stumbled, ran out of the room, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ji Xiao who looked towards me: "..."

I turned to Ji Xiao, and he showed an indescribable expression together.

After a while, Ji Xiao closed the door slowly, with a troubled expression similar to sleepwalking on his face.

Without saying anything, he climbed back on the bed, picked up the PAD, and marked the node on the 24-hour circle where No. [-] came.

During the period, I glanced at my phone: it was a quarter past two in the afternoon.

Ji Xiao sighed, staring at the pad in a daze.

I typed it to him: it seems they don't show up "regularly".

Ji Xiao nodded thoughtfully, at the same time, he stuffed himself into my arms.

It was not affected by No. [-]'s previous performance at all.

I could smell the bath liquid on his body, which made my mind sway for a moment, and then I asked him: According to your experience, what is going on now?

Ji Xiao told me hesitantly, not very sure, but he did have a little idea.

I didn't ask, and I showed my trust fully.At the same time, I solemnly asked, should I also give nicknames to the few people who appeared before?Carpio and Duterte are a fat and thin duo, Amor is lame, and the captain is the captain... In this way, it will be more helpful for memory, and it will also be more confusing.

Ji Xiao happily kissed me in a complimenting manner, and wrote: Yes, I also find their names hard to remember.

The matter was settled.I thought about it and started another topic: In a short time, I heard another story.Things have come to this, is there anyone who is more inclined to believe?

Ji Xiao shook his head.

He was very serious, typing to warn me: Don't trust anyone.

I looked at him and thought, so you can't even be trusted?

how come.

Ji Xiao didn't react at first.He still told me solemnly that I am afraid that he and I really entered a "game".I could see that this thought made Ji Xiao feel very uncomfortable, he felt that he implicated me.

Ji Xiao was tortured because of this.

He's still typing: There may be more crew members coming to tell us stories, but...

To put it simply, Ji Xiao suspected that there was no one alive on board.

Well, this time he didn't forget to add, except me and him.

I nodded in relief, thinking: Yes, you finally remembered!What is "don't trust anyone", I will always trust you.

Think again: Of course, you must also believe me.

To make a long story short.

According to Ji Xiao's guess, these ghosts who roam the ship and are keen to tell ghost stories to the passengers either know that they are dead, and they just want to play a scene in front of the players, so as to pave the way for the feast of fear in the future.Or, they don't know that they are dead, and once the player breaks through this point, they will be doomed.

I asked him which one he preferred.

Ji Xiao spread out her hands and told me that they are the same.

The way we want to respond is very simple. To describe it simply, it is to play dumb.

I raise my eyebrows.

Ji Xiao and I emphasize: Don't let them know that we know!

Facts have proved that no matter whether this plan works or not, at least Ji Xiao did guess what will happen next.

For the next few hours, as the boat floated on the sea, we received two more waves of guests, who told us separately: the lame Amor was dead, and the fifth carathon was also dead.

Ji Xiao saw off the guests and listed them on the PAD, noting my new nickname.

The man who spoke about Amor was a tall, pale man whom I simply called "the tall man."

Another man, of ordinary stature and appearance, with only a pair of eyes, which shone with a sly light, I called him "Smart Ghost".It was he who told us the story of Number Five's death.

Ji Xiao wrote these, the pen stopped, and I took it.

I added to the little list he had written: No. [-] (Kraathon) looked at Shao Zuo and let out a scream.

Ji Xiao raised her brows lightly, and seemed to disagree.

He held my hand and communicated with me, thinking it was just a way to distract us from how Klaathon had gone.Similar to the captain calling us in front of Amor, it is not worth listing as a suspicious point alone.

Ji Xiao knocked on the phone screen, and emphasized to me: "Game" often gives a lot of distracting items, don't let these distract your attention.
