Seeing that Hoshino Aoi frowned and seemed a little embarrassed, Vermouth raised her eyebrows and laughed softly:

"No way? Are you planning on having me tell you the answer directly?"

"There's nothing I can do. I have to find out something, or I'll be in trouble."

Seeing her picking up the box and about to leave, Hoshino Aoi followed behind her and whispered:

"Also, I'm afraid I might accidentally uncover something and cause further delays to the organization, so please give me some pointers."

She raised her hand and made a 'a little' gesture with her thumb and index finger:

"At least let me know the organization's future plans, after all..."

She raised her chin and gestured towards the box in Vermouth's hand. Then she curled her lips and said with a chuckle:

"Although I don't know what's inside, you should understand better than me that delaying things can lead to unexpected consequences. So next, you should try to find a way to leave as soon as possible, right?"

But the cruise ship has already sailed and won't leave for a few days.

so……

"Is it a bomb?"

Hoshino Aoi asked in a low voice.

And her words obviously made Vermouth stunned for a moment.

But soon, she raised the corners of her lips.

"You're very clever."

There was a hint of an ambiguous smile in Vermouth's voice:

"No wonder Rum values ​​you so much."

But sometimes being too smart is not a good thing...

Vermouth let out a sigh in her heart that sounded like a complaint, but when she faced Hoshino Aoi's slightly childish face, she showed some rare kindness and reminded her:

"You guessed right. I'm not the only one on board this time. So after he takes his things and leaves, it's time for the bomb to explode."

Vermouth did not tell Hoshino Aoi all of their plans.

But even with just a few words, it was enough for Hoshino Aoi to outline the entire plan in her mind.

The organization arranged two people for this mission.

One of them is Vermouth, who boarded the ship directly under the identity of 'Sharon Wynyard'.

And since her purpose was to go to the morgue to get the trading items after the riot started, then the tasks of planting the bomb and causing the riot were done by another person.

In order to complete these two tasks naturally, the other party should choose the identity of a cruise ship staff member, right?

That scenery...!

Hoshino Aoi's heart stopped for a moment.

calm……

Calm down...

"So next, are you going to hand the things over to him?"

Even though her heart was in turmoil, Aoi Hoshino did not show any sign of abnormality in front of Vermouth.

But even so, Vermouth didn't say anything else.

She had said enough.

If it weren't for the fact that Hoshino Aoi had already learned what they were about to do through the information she knew, Vermouth would never have told her the organization's next plans.

So let alone let her get involved.

Hoshino Aoi also knew that she could not get any useful information from Vermouth, so she didn't say anything else.

The two soon parted ways at a fork in the road.

At this time, the banquet hall has returned to its state before the commotion began.

However, Hoshino Aoi took the opportunity to refill her drink and glanced around.

No……

Zhu Fu Jingguang was no longer in the banquet hall.

Have they discovered the member of the Black Organization hiding among the cruise ship staff?

Hoshino Aoi's eyes narrowed. Although her steps seemed no different from before and were still as steady, she soon disappeared in the banquet hall again.

The banquet hall and the outside of it seemed like two different worlds. Especially as Hoshino Aoi continued to walk down, the dimness and coldness gradually enveloped her.

"It felt like I was watching a 3D horror movie."

Hoshino Aoi was a little scared, but didn't dare to make any noise, so she could only secretly complain to the system hidden in her brain.

However, the next second, she felt a gust of wind coming from behind her.

Hoshino Aoi's eyes became fierce, and her first reaction was to bend her elbow and fight back.

"Xiao Kui, it's me."

The familiar voice was suppressed by the other party, but just when Hoshino Aoi breathed a sigh of relief, she noticed that the breathing sound falling beside her ear seemed a little wrong.

"What's wrong, Hiro? Are you hurt?"

But she had already withdrawn her attack when she heard his voice...

Thinking of another possibility, Hoshino Aoi's eyes suddenly became dangerous.

Zhu Fushigi Jingguang seemed to have noticed something, but when he looked at Hoshino Aoi carefully, he found nothing.

He tilted his head, trying to recall how he felt at that moment, but he had just been attacked and his still dizzy head obviously could not support such an action.

It was at this time that Hoshino Aoi saw clearly what Morofushi Kagemitsu looked like.

She frowned, reached out to support his slightly shaky body, and her eyes lingered for a moment on the blood flowing down his forehead. She said anxiously:

"How come you're so badly injured? Did you have a direct confrontation with the criminal?"

"Um."

Zhu Fujingguang endured the dizziness and explained:

"Just when someone collapsed in the banquet hall, I suddenly noticed someone with a strange look on his face, so I followed him out. As a result, I was not paying attention and he discovered me."

At this point, his already furrowed brows became even tighter:

"He hit me on the head, but I didn't faint immediately. I vaguely saw him take out a big black bag from the corner."

Zhu Fujingguang had a bad premonition, and it was this premonition that made him wake up from his coma quickly.

This is how he was able to spot Hoshino Aoi the first time she came over.

"Is that so... I have a feeling that big black bag is not a good thing..."

Aoi Hoshino looked thoughtful.

"Hiro, are you okay on your own?"

"You want to..."

"Well, I plan to move on, so Hiro will have to do the rest."

Hoshino Aoi nodded, and saw that Zhu Fujingguang's brows were knitted together, looking a little anxious, obviously worried about her safety. In order to prevent him from following and discovering her identity, Hoshino Aoi waved her hand and said seriously:

"I suspect their intention might be to blow up the cruise ship."
