Chapter 82 Mask

"Who are these two people, and what do they need on the ship?"

Serena asked.

Shi Jing shook her head. "I really don't know the details. I was unconscious under the influence of anesthetics the entire time. I only overheard this conversation after I woke up, pretending not to know."

"They seem to be from an organization called U, and they believe in doomsday cults. They want to drag everyone down to hell. They're probably a cult."

Serena nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Shi Jing's words reminded her.

Besides them, there was also a group of soldiers on board today, and they seemed to be transporting something on board.

Could it be that this organization is targeting the military's things?

This matter is of great importance, she must tell her grandfather as soon as possible.

Selina looked at Shi Jing, "What are you going to do now? Can you still transform? This place is not safe either. I'll take you away first."

Shi Jing nodded. "My ability allows me to change my form five times a day. I've already used it three times. I still have two left. But the more times I use it, the shorter it can last. The fourth time, I can probably last about 20 minutes."

Serena: "Okay."

She brought Shi Jing, who had transformed into a furry bumblebee, to the hall where everyone was gathered.

The bumblebee stuck to her hair looked like some kind of fluffy decoration, and apparently did not attract anyone's attention.

Until Michael came over, holding a cocktail and sipping the drink with a straw.

"Selina, where did you go just now? Did you notice anything wrong?"

Serena's expression was calm. "I just checked the surroundings and didn't find anything amiss. It's been fifty minutes since the announcement of the killer on the radio, and they haven't made any moves. I think this is just a farce."

Michael paused and raised his lip mysteriously. "That's not necessarily true. This kind of person is cunning by nature. They might just want to hide in the shadows after the warning, hoping to observe the panicked expression of the hunted, just like a game of cat and mouse."

"Oh, really?"

Serena also took a clean tray from the table next to her and started picking up some food.

Apart from them, everyone around them was anxiously chattering together, with no appetite at all, so there were only the two of them at the table.

Michael also took some barbecue and seafood. "I heard that there are people with special abilities on the ship. Did you know?"

"A person with superpowers?" Serena pretended not to understand and shrugged deliberately. "Are you dreaming? A person with superpowers? That's something that only appears in science fiction novels."

Michael smiled. "That's not necessarily true. Look at the recent frequent natural disasters: heavy rain, typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. No country on the planet has been spared. Even if the government organizes a rescue effort, this kind of disaster is still a calamity for ordinary people."

Serena took a bite of the cut mousse, "What do you mean?"

Michael smiled mysteriously. "Haven't you seen the online discussions? These disasters aren't just temporary. There will be more disasters in the future. The gift of superpowers to humans is God selecting His representatives on earth. Those with superpowers are the lucky ones chosen, qualified to survive natural disasters."

Selena wanted to refute him, what a twisted logic.

But she just frowned, "It probably has something to do with probability, or maybe genetic mutation or something. But I don't think it's necessarily true. Even if there are people with superpowers, I may not be able to see them."

Michael took a sip of his drink and asked, "What if the murderer broadcast live on the radio is someone with superpowers?"

He moved closer to Serena and looked between her buns. "Do you think it's possible?"

Serena seemed to be irritated by his recklessness and pushed him back suddenly, "Michael, what do you want to do?"

Michael's eyes were dark, as if he was staring at her with an unfathomable gaze. Serena just glared back at him angrily, "Although I have promised you to be my boyfriend, it's only because I feel sorry for you. If you are too sentimental, don't blame me for beating you up."

As she spoke, she seemed to really intend to roll up her sleeves and get started.

It was the old housekeeper who came over and separated the two young couple who were about to quarrel.

He coughed softly and said, "Miss, this is a public place, please be mindful of your words and behavior."

As expected, everyone who had gathered in the hall turned their attention to them.

Although they were all members of the cruise ship and there were no other passengers, Serena still blushed for a moment.

Before they knew it, their quarrel had attracted so much attention.

Michael just chuckled softly and said, "I'm sorry, it was just my personal guess. Serena is so cute, I just wanted to tease you, don't be angry."

He took another step forward and saw the bumblebee headpiece in her hair. "Your hair accessory is especially cute today."

Serena sneered at him, "Humph, if you want to bully me, I'll have to tell Grandpa."

As she said this, she ran away in her little leather shoes.

Michael seemed to just stare at her back for a moment and didn't immediately chase after her.

Selina ran out of the hall and realized that she was sweating coldly.

When she met Michael, she vaguely felt that something was wrong. Michael was allergic to alcohol and didn't like cocktails. He only liked to drink juice.

He would never give her so much nonsense. As for the matter of the superpowers, they had already discussed it before, and he certainly wouldn't ask again.

What does this prove? Even if they look the same, it can't be the real Michael.

Did he approach her on purpose, or was he coming for Shi Jing?

At this time, Shi Jing suddenly began to speak, "He should be coming for me. There is a certain induction between people with special abilities. My strength is too weak now, so he should have noticed it. Those words are just to test you."

As expected, Serena breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought of something: "What was the ability of that psychic just now? Could it really be a form-changing ability? I feel like his ability should be more than that."

Shi Jing said, "That's right. His ability is spirit possession. He should be possessing this original body right now, so your classmate should be fine. But if you really want to attack, you must find his original body. Otherwise, the only one harmed will be the one he possessed. As long as his original body survives, he won't be in any danger."
