Chapter 109: Tail Ship 27

Jiang Yuelu told them about her encounter with Rongrong. Tong Mian was like riding a roller coaster, his expression was very exciting the whole time. When he heard that Rongrong was Will's daughter, he couldn't close his mouth anymore, "So... the little girl who announced the test questions on the speaker just now was Rongrong... your insider? Damn, you actually know the examiner?"

"Well, your understanding is a bit...that's okay." Jiang Yuelu accepted it helplessly.

Tong Mian was amazed, and then he remembered something and slapped his forehead, "That's not right, if she knew you, why didn't she say hello to you just now?"

Jiang Yuelu: "The voice from that speaker doesn't belong to Rongrong."

Tong Mian: "Please tell me in detail."

Jiang Yuelu: "How should I put it? Just like the exam reports you've heard in the academy, they should be the same every time. But this is not a living person, and it's not even one of her personalities. It's just a separate voice that was cut out. Someone wanted to use her voice to report the content of the exam, so she exists."

Tong Mian could remember the rules related to the exam even with his eyes closed, and he easily understood what Jiang Yuelu meant. But his mind was elsewhere.

"Oh my god... How on earth did you hold back on this? If it were me, I would have shared it with you right away."

Jiang Yuelu laughed: "We don't have much time to communicate."

Tong Mian nodded, "That's right. We have been on the run since we boarded this broken ship. We finally made it to the Land of Despair, but they separated us again... You know, Gurian said he was taking us to the Land of Despair, but in fact we were just going around in circles the whole way. We all thought it was a bit strange, so we found an opportunity to pry open his mouth."

"You didn't see it. When he told me about his father's reversal plan, Leng Wenhan's face turned green and he held a knife to force him to rush to the commercial district!"

"When you and Drake were confronting the ship owner, we were right behind you. If the brat's men hadn't held us down, Leng Wenhan and I would have rushed out long ago."

Jiang Yuelu: "Thank you for your hard work."

Tong Mian waved his hands, "Don't be so polite. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to enter the examination room at all. Ah, wait, let me wipe the blood first." As he said that, he calmly pressed the bleeding wound and tied him up without changing his expression.

Jiang Yuelu turned to look at Leng Wenhan who remained silent.

He didn't say a word, just looked at himself quietly. Leng Wenhan always reminded him of himself when he was a child in an orphanage. It was difficult for a child who didn't cry or make noise to get the attention of the aunt who distributed food, so he was always hungry at that time.

He stood up and ruffled his hair, "Come and help me."

Leng Wenhan immediately asked: "Looking for someone?"

"right."

"Rongrong."

"Yes."

The white-eyed boy immediately turned his palm up, and a black-headed wooden staff appeared in the air, which he held in his hand. His white pupils were filled with misty fog.

"Try to wake her up." Jiang Yuelu continued, "Both times we met were in dreams. Although this time is not a dream, it is also in an examination room where reality and illusion are mixed. There is still a great chance that she will be awakened." There is no No. 1 Mansion in Xingfu Li. The venue they came to must be located in a specific different space. Therefore, he dared to give it a try.

Sure enough, a moment later, he heard a surprised call.

"God—my lord!"

"No?" Tong Mian thought she had misheard, "What did she call you?"

The shameless are invincible. Jiang Yuelu said, "What's wrong? Are you surprised? You still have my shrine pass with you, so you have to call me Sir."

Tong Mian was shocked by his shamelessness, "Sir, who, you? Stop joking, who would really regard you as a god?"

Leng Wenhan said seriously: "God, sir."

Tong Mian: “???”

The girl's voice seemed to come from underground, or floating in the sky. In short, she seemed to be everywhere. This beautiful call was obviously heard by the guys on the other side. The strange voice made them particularly alert. Gurian and Drake blocked the stroller, and Jin's umbrella turned faster.

"Sir, you really came as promised. I knew that you are omnipotent and you will definitely be able to save me!"

Derek's head turned like a rattle. "Who is this chick talking about? Daddy?"

"Wow, please wait a moment... I have to find something, otherwise it will be inconvenient to talk to you." It sounded like a little girl who had just jumped off the sofa and was frantically looking for shoes to put on. After rummaging around on the floor, she finally stopped and said, "Yeah, not bad. This is it!"

Everyone heard a noise coming from the dining table and slowly moved over.

Most of the food on the table was rotten, and the roasted chicken was covered with sticky insect eggs. Drake and his friends were used to this kind of food, so it was nothing. However, Jiang Yuelu and the other two were attacked by the stench as soon as they walked over, and they almost vomited because of the sour smell.

Drake whispered, "Yan, are you okay?"

Jiang Yuelu shook her head, "It's okay."

At the same time, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance. It was like a clear mountain spring amidst the stinky smells. Jiang Yuelu and the other two instantly teleported to the source of the fragrance.

It was a cup, light baby blue, with strawberries and pastries decorated on the lid. It was obvious that this was a wide-mouthed cup specially used for dessert.

Surprisingly, the dessert in the cup did not rot.

A girl's urgent voice came out, "God, where are you? You haven't left, have you?"

Everyone watched as a dangling white jelly floated up. Due to the violent tone, its body was still shaking violently in mid-air. Without waiting for a response, the "little jelly" ran around like a lost child looking for its parents, but it looked like a white marble shot at random.

"God—my Lord—where are you?"

Derek: "Dad, is she looking for you?"

Could it be that there are my followers here too… The old man stretched out his hand half-believingly, like a kind father high above, “My child, you are suffering—” Before he could utter the word “suffering”, his head was hit by a “white marble” from a high-speed car. The sharp sound scraped across the baby’s eardrum, “Where are you? Are you gone already? ”

Derek: "Sorry, Dad, it doesn't look like she's looking for you..."

"Of course I know - ouch..." The fragile baby lay down again, covering his head.

There was immediate shouting and screaming under the red umbrella.

"Rongrong, Rongrong." Jiang Yuelu called her name, "I'm not leaving, you stop first."

The little marble heard his voice, turned a corner in the air, overtook the car, and turned out a parabola of white smoke, and stood in front of Jiang Yuelu in a daze, "...Really, it's really you."

Her voice was choked.

"I thought you would never show up again, and after that, I waited for you for a long, long time... Woo woo woo..." After wailing for a while, she stopped crying and tried to be as sensible as possible. She hiccuped and explained stumblingly, "I'm sorry, I'm too weak. I can't control anything that's a little bigger. I searched the room for a long time before I found this lighter jelly. It's broken and a bit smelly..."

As she spoke, she wanted to cry again.

"Anyway, it's great that you came."

Jiang Yuelu leaned over and talked to her, "But I have to tell you first. The current situation is not optimistic. You see, we are all trapped here. If we don't find a way to solve the puzzle, it will be difficult to get out."

Rongrong said sensibly, "I understand." If it was easy to get out, she wouldn't have been trapped in Mansion No. 1 for so many years.

"But I don't know what I can do to help you." She was dejected.

Jiang Yuelu was about to speak when a figure jumped out excitedly, "There are so many things you can do to help us! Think about it first, have you ever celebrated your birthday here? Was there any birthday when your parents were not here? And--" Leng Wenhan covered the rest of his words with one hand.

As early as when Tong Mian asked the first question, Little Milk Jelly shrank behind Jiang Yuelu in fear. At this moment, a white tip appeared and he answered cautiously, "I have celebrated my birthday here many times, and every time I was very happy... I have never attended the birthday when mom and dad were not around, as you said."

"How is that possible?"

Jiang Yuelu interrupted, "It's possible."

"But the 'Rongrong' in the speaker just now said that before the birthday party started, Dad, Mom and Brother were missing... That's why they asked us to find them." Tong Mian suddenly realized, "Ah, is this a fantastic and imaginary test question? The tests you have taken before, Paper Man City and Tree Man Girls' High School, are all derived from a real event. This one is so special, is it because this test is a modified version of the main one?"

But he always felt something was not right.

Jiang Yuelu suddenly asked: "Rongrong, can you go and listen to what the other side is saying?"

"Uncles under the big umbrella?"

"Yes. They are now our enemies. We haven't heard any movement from them for a while. I wonder if they are discussing countermeasures against us."

"Okay! I'll be there right away."

Rongrong was very happy that she could be of great use, and she walked over with her jelly-like body swung.

Tong Mian glanced at the small white shadow going away, "Why did you send her away?"

Jiang Yuelu: "Listen to me first. What I just said may not refer to the content of the test questions. You don't know yet, Rongrong's understanding of the stern ship is a little out of touch." He told Tong Mian and Leng Wenhan the details of their previous communication.

Tong Mian frowned, "Could it be because she has been staying in No. 1 Mansion and has never been out, so she doesn't know about the changes outside?"

Jiang Yuelu: "But she is also very familiar with the historical events that happened on the ship. She knows the name of the ship owner, the name of Dad, Drake and Joe. It's like she lives in a parallel ship. On that ship, the owner is not her uncle, but her father. Dad and Drake are not dead yet."

Tong Mian: "This is not right. She seems..." He thought hard for a long time, "She seems to only understand the changes in people, but not the changes in the ship... It's incredible."

"That's why I speculated that maybe Rongrong on that boat didn't experience the absence of her parents."

Tong Mian hummed: "Yes, you are right."

He wanted to say something else, but Jiang Yuelu raised her hand to interrupt him, "Wait. There seems to be a noise outside."

Leng Wenhan: "I heard it too."

The three of them stared at the entrance of the hall. The dark doorway had swallowed up the captain and his party just now, and now a crisp echo of ding-dong rang out from it, as if someone was lazily strolling in the corridor outside, approaching their location. Incompatible with such a brisk sound was the increasingly strong smell of blood.

Soon, the voice came to the door.

The mysterious visitor was about to show up, and everyone in the restaurant couldn't help but hold their breath.

"Ugh, ahhh..." A hoarse cry was heard, and a bloody figure crawled into the door. He raised his upper body with difficulty, revealing a bloody face that could not be recognized at all.

The nameless bloody man dragged a deep red trail on the ground, and soon lost all his strength, vomiting a large pool of blood, "Save me... Save me..."

Jiang Yuelu: "Qiao?"

Derek gasped, "Is this Joe?"

The image of him following the ship owner out of the door with high spirits is still vivid in my mind, but in just a few minutes, he turned into a half-dead bloody man?

"Help... Help..." Joe's body kept dragging on the ground, and soon everyone saw his lower body hidden outside the door.

Gurian whispered: "He was cut in half..."

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The captain ran in screaming and crushed the head of his subordinate who was still begging for help. He looked no better than Joe, with only half an eye missing and blood dripping from his face.

The lack of strength had long made it impossible for him to support his body, and his entire face was shrinking and rotting. When he passed by Jiang Yuelu, a piece of rotten meat fell at his feet.

The captain covered his eyes and pointed at them like a madman, "Kill them, go ahead and kill them! They are here to take the exam too, not just me!"

“Hahahaha…” The ship owner couldn’t help laughing crazily as he looked at their neat and intact team. “This world is so fucking terrible. The brave team that went out to fight suffered casualties one after another, while those who hid in the rear and waited for the situation to change were intact… Don’t worry, everyone. Your retribution will come soon!”

【Ding Dong】

【Ding Dong】

The speaker sounded the prompt again.

【Longing is like a long forest blocking the sun, the spring of joy is shallow and sadness is fading, a happy family, are we still? 】

[Dear father, mother, brother, can we have the happiness of the past again? Tell me, your love for me remains unchanged, and I will not disappear here...]

The girl's voice, filled with pain, suddenly changed its tone, becoming resolute and fierce.

[But——anyone who disturbs our family reunion should die! ]

【Ding ding ding—dong! 】

The girl's voice became mechanical, like a machine reading a notice without emotion.

[You have come to No. 1 Mansion, and are looking for the missing family of the girl Rongrong. But during this period, you must be intact and escape the pursuit of the ghost to pass. Otherwise, even if you find her parents in the end, your results will still be invalid. I wish you good luck. ]

Tong Mian: "Ghost? What is that?"

Drake: "Could it be the one who killed Joe..."

"Get out of the way!" Gurian pushed him away, and a black figure emerged from the ground. It was slender and held a huge electric drill in its hand. It was just a little bit away from turning Drake into powder. Drake was pushed to the ground and was terrified. "Fuck, what the hell is this!"

"At the door!" Jiang Yuelu shouted.

Another black shadow stood by the door without knowing when. It was stronger, with a bulging hill on its back and two arms like two swinging sledgehammers. It could pinch Joe's waist with two fingers, holding him like chopsticks, and bringing him to its mouth.

"Ahhhhhhhh..." Joe's lips trembled and moved, tears streaming down his face. Before he could utter the next word, he slipped into the deep black mouth, and the barbs rising from the mouth pierced him instantly.

The thin black shadow entangled Dad's group, and the fat black shadow slowly walked towards Jiang Yuelu.

Everyone was concentrating, and no one noticed that a black tide suddenly appeared in the corner of the wall. Soon, it gathered together and turned into a thin, short black shadow. Because no one noticed it, it quickly slipped behind Tong Mian, opened its big mouth full of black thorns, and suddenly split to the base of his ears -

Jiang Yuelu felt a shock all over his body, as if there was another person inside him twisting his neck and looking back, "Tong Mian—be careful!"

He pushed Tong Mian so hard that he staggered back. The short black shadow saw that his sneak attack failed, and in anger he attacked Jiang Yuelu. He was hit by Leng Wenhan's crutch and retreated repeatedly. He jumped up and down in anger and yelled. His yelling actually attracted the thin black shadow and the fat black shadow, who rushed over as if they were protecting their cubs.

Jiang Yuelu: "This is not a solution. We have to leave here."

Tong Mian: "The question is - where to go?"

Just as he was in a dilemma, white jelly floated in front of him, shaking, "Follow me! I know a room!"

After a moment.

The three of them came to a door.

The jelly floating in the air: "It's right here."

Tong Mian: "Are you sure it's safe? The safety I'm talking about is not just about whether there are shadows, but also about whether the table and the floor are clean, whether there are broken glass that could pierce the soles of your feet, badminton that could get stuck in your throat, ah yes, are there any unstable chandeliers that could kill you?"

The jelly solidified: "Well, the kind you are talking about..."

"Come in." Jiang Yuelu had already opened the door. After entering, a smell of dust that had been sealed for many years hit her face. The gray fog completely dissipated, and the full view of the house was revealed.

Naan Dong Rongrong looked around and said with a nostalgic tone, "This is the room my father used to live in. Look, there are still the tools he used on the floor."

There are all kinds of wood on the floor, blueprints and cutters on the table, as well as other cutting and repairing tools. This room is like the most suitable residence for a craftsman obsessed with wood.

Jiang Yuelu noticed an open notebook on the table.

According to his past experience, clues are often left in the records. He walked over, picked up the notes and started flipping through them. It seemed that these were records written by Will himself, and most of them were his detailed drawings. But as he flipped through the pages, the drawings became fewer and fewer, and the level of sophistication was not as good as before, and finally they disappeared completely.

Turn another page.

The densely packed words are like a man's roar and rage, wanting to vent out.

Tong Mian and Leng Wenhan saw that he looked serious, so they came over and saw Will's name on the note. They couldn't help but ask, "What did he write?"

"He said, 'I don't want to stay here anymore.'" Jiang Yuelu read out his sad confession, "'I hate this flying ship!'"
