This Damned Thirst for Survival

The black-haired guest got an affirmative answer from the captain, he nodded in satisfaction, and walked back with Ge Zhu.

They didn't take two steps, but they heard a commotion from the civilian passage.Jiang Luo looked back, and it turned out that a crew member roughly threw a civilian off the boat, and that person fell into the sea and crawled to the shore in embarrassment.

The crew is mighty and majestic, with fleshy faces.He grabbed the side of the boat and yelled at the poor man who fell into the water: "You dare to board the boat without a ticket, get out of here quickly, if I see you again, I will beat you every time I see you!"

The poor man who climbed to the shore was punched in the face, and his face was covered with blood from his nose. He flinched timidly, and then mustered up his courage to say: "I have a ticket, but you tore it up—"

The crew sneered, "How dare you lie to others?"

The poor man who was thrown overboard was in a daze for a while, but he stopped making trouble and left in despair.

A crew member next to Jiang Luo said: "His name is Cheng Li. He is the bad-tempered one on our ship. He is also a bastard who abandons his wife and daughter. He likes to bully the poor the most, and he is full of lies. If the guest has something to ask, it is best not to find him."

Down below, Cheng Li spat into the water and walked away cursing.

After watching the excitement, Jiang Luo and Ge Zhu bid farewell to the crew and left.On the way, Ge Zhu asked, "Jiang Luo, did that first officer named Winston really harass you?"

Hearing this, Jiang Luo, who looked quite angry at first, smiled unexpectedly.

Jiang Luo discovered a secret of the evil ghost.

It's a secret, but it's more like a joke.The evil spirit that desires him doesn't seem to know how to express it.

When examining him, although the evil spirit's movements were teasing and ambiguous, there were always some out-of-place desires running around in his palm.On the surface, the evil ghost smiled calmly and easily, but Jiang Luo could feel the irritability in his heart that was gloomy and had nowhere to vent.

How ridiculous.

Chi You, an evil ghost so powerful that he seems to be everywhere and omnipotent, the head of the Chi family with deep plans and huge plans - he can't even make love.

When he found out about this, Jiang Luo almost didn't laugh out loud.

He laughed at Chi You in his heart, Jiang Luo regretted it when he thought of what Chi You said to him "I'm going to fuck him" that made him feel a sudden sense of crisis.

Back in the alley, why did he use the life-saving talisman?In that case, it is estimated that Chi You didn't know how to do it, at most he followed the vague sex scene on TV, touching him a few times indiscriminately.What a pity, what a pity, a life-saving talisman wasted in vain!

Jiang Luo suppressed his smile under Ge Zhu's strange gaze, he coughed lightly, and opened the door: "His actions make me very uncomfortable, forget it, don't talk about him."

Ge Zhu followed him in, and after Jiang Luo closed the door, he completely relaxed, slumped on the sofa and said, "Pretending to be rich is really tiring."

Ge Zhu had a Buddha-like aura on his body, and he was so refined that he seemed to be untouched by copper stink. In order to change his temperament, he also specially put on several large gold chains, which made his neck hurt from the pressure.

Jiang Luo walked to the balcony, Ge Zhu took off the gold chain, exhaled freely, and followed.Looking down, more than half of the people who boarded the boat have already come up.

They watched for a while, and Ge Zhu said, "Strange..."

"Why didn't I see a child among the people boarding the ship?"

Jiang Luo frowned, and looked carefully at everyone, "There are indeed no children."

Ge Zhu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed down, "Look, Wen Renlian and them are on board."

Jiang Luo looked towards the civilian passage, and several companions had already boarded the boat.

When they returned to the room from the balcony, Ge Zhu saw an invitation card and a black box on the coffee table.He picked it up and read it again, "Jiang Luo, here is an invitation letter to the dance."

Jiang Luo walked over to take the invitation and read it.

On the Angonise, even if there is a lack of electronics, there is definitely a lot of entertainment for the rich.

Tonight, the day the Angonise sails, there will be a dance in the ballroom.Both rich and common people can attend this dance.But there is a strange rule. The rich need to wear half masks and draw lots with the common people before the ball. If they draw a card with a crown pattern, it means they become the "master" of the ball. If you see a card with a chain pattern on it, you will become a "slave".

The master has the right to choose the slave, but the slave has no right to refuse the master's choice.

The rules are bold, but the invitation is only an invitation, not mandatory for everyone to join.

But if added, it will be regarded as the default rule.

Jiang Luo was thoughtful, "I guess you also have such an invitation letter in your room."

Ge Zhu went back to the room to have a look, and soon, he brought the same invitation letter and a silver box, "You guessed it, the content of my invitation letter is exactly the same as yours."

The two opened the box, and inside was a mask covering the upper half of the face.

Jiang Luo's box contained a black mask.The ruby ​​embellishes a blooming fiery red rose on the side face, and the black feathers are nailed to the ear, which is mysterious and gorgeous, like an aristocratic accessory in Western mythology.

He gently picked up the mask and looked sideways at Ge Zhu's box.Inside Ge Zhu's box was a silver mask, much simpler in style than Jiang Luo's.

Ge Zhu said unsurely: "Jiang Luo, are we going to the dance tonight? I don't feel very good about the lottery rules."

"I don't feel very good either, but I still have to participate," Jiang Luo shrugged, hiding the curiosity and excitement caused by this rule, "Only by understanding the secrets of this ship can we find out what a blood eel is. What's more, at the ball, it's the best time for us to meet Lu Yi and the others."

Ge Zhu sighed, worried, "Then I hope we can draw a good lottery."

Jiang Luo was so excited that he stagnated when he heard the words.

If he is lucky...can he draw the master card?

But how can people be unlucky all the time?Jiang Luo convinced himself that maybe he had already changed his luck, otherwise how could he get the rich man's boat ticket?

Thinking of this, he stabilized again.

While they were resting, a few people from Lu also returned to their rooms.

The space in the ordinary room is small, the bed is crowded, and it is a room for two people.There are only three bottles of mineral water for free in each room, and there is nothing else for the rest.

Lu Yi shares a room with Ye Xun, Wen Renlian shares a room with Zhuo Zhongqiu, Kuang Zheng shares a room with Seriol.

After they put their things away, they stood by the door and watched the people coming and going looking for a room.

"Here, here, you are going wrong!"

"Who's shoe was trampled off? Come and take it."

There was a mix of yelling and noise, and six people gathered in a room, and they also saw the invitation to the dance.

"Are you going?" Zhuo Zhongqiu asked.

Wen Renlian read the contents of the invitation letter and nodded slowly.

"I also want to go," Zhuo Zhongqiu said while sitting by the bed, "I just walked around the stern of the ship. When I wanted to go to the bow, I was stopped by the crew. They forbid civilians to enter the bow. According to their It is said that it is the activity area of ​​rich people.”

"What era is this, and there is such a serious classification," Lu Yi muttered, "There are still so many people who can endure this kind of discrimination rushing to board the ship."

"That's why it's so strange," Wen Renlian said with a smile, "The poor people board the ship most likely for money. It's just a cruise ship, sailing into the deep sea and returning, what benefits they can get from it can be worth it." Risk of death?"

Kuang Zheng suddenly said: "They don't necessarily know that they will die."

"That's right," Wen Renlian snapped his fingers, "Tonight's dance party divides people into two identities. One is 'master' and the other is 'slave'. These two words have many meanings. Perhaps These poor people who boarded the ship are nothing more than slaves in the eyes of the rich, and the poor don't even know where the cruise ship is going and what they are going to do."

"We still don't know anything about the rich areas. According to Zhong Qiu, the areas of activity of the rich and the poor do not overlap. We can't go to the rich areas to find Jiang Luo and the others, and we can't wait for them to risk being stared at. The risk of the world coming to us. Only this ball is the place where we can reasonably meet."

Seriol nodded half-understanding, "Can we also get the master card?"

Ye Xun said lightly: "It is highly unlikely."

This dance is obviously an activity for the entertainment of the rich.

The Angonise set sail.

The coastline is gradually receding, passing freighters one by one.The sea water in the port was cloudy and hazy, but gradually, the sea water turned into a deep blue.

Seagulls hovered above the cruise ship, the wind whistled, Jiang Luo's clothes were blown, and he looked towards the deck from afar.

Many people were already standing on the deck, watching the sea around the railing.A few crew members walked by, checking the buoys and ropes.

On the surface of the sea, time is gradually confused.There are clocks, newspapers and magazines in the rich man's room, as well as board games and poker to relieve boredom.Jiang Luo and Ge Zhu played games to pass the time, and went to eat a buffet again.When seven o'clock in the evening came, I changed my clothes and came to the ballroom.

As night fell, dark clouds covered the starry sky.

The lights of the dance hall are bright and dazzling, and the crowd is drinking and drinking, and the crowd is prosperous and lively.

Jiang Luo and Ge Zhu put on masks, covering half of their faces.The waiter in front of the door saw their masks, put the lottery box in his hand on the table respectfully, picked up another lottery box and handed it over, "Please, two guests."

Jiang Luo gave Ge Zhu a look, encouraging him to go first.Ge Zhu swallowed his saliva, thinking that Blessed Lives the Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, he closed his eyes and pulled out a card.

Jiang Luo, "What is it?"

Ge Zhu opened one eye, turned the card tremblingly, and breathed a sigh of relief, "The crown card."

It represents becoming the "master" who takes the initiative.

Jiang Luo looked at the card in his hand silently, suppressed the dangerous thought of wanting to snatch it away, and looked at the waiter, "Did anyone get a slave card from this box of lottery cards?"

The waiter smiled and said, "Not yet."

Jiang Luo felt relieved for a while, he put his hand into the lottery box, selected a card, and when he was about to take it out, another hand also stuck into the box.The white-gloved fingers and Jiang Luo's fingers were intertwined, and cards the size of playing cards were piled up beside their hands.

Jiang Luo raised his head. Behind him, a man wearing a pure white mask who looked strange showed his tall nose and pale chin.He smiled happily, and under the night, his dark blue eyes looked at Jiang Luo through the mask.

"First Mate," the waiter bowed, "two people cannot draw lots at the same time."

"Shh," the man raised his other hand in front of his lips, "You didn't see anything."

The waiter stopped talking, acquiescing to the man's behavior.

"Guest, I think you have chosen the wrong card." The first mate looked at Jiang Luo, some kind of vicious teasing revealed from the corner of his charming mouth, he said slowly, "You can choose this one."

In the lottery box that no one could see, an itchy circular mark was beautifully drawn on the palm of Jiang Luo's hand by a card.

Jiang Luo: ... Poof

It's not interesting, I think it's funny that you don't know anything and still tease people
