After passing through the coded door, a secret room appeared before them.

If the man were still alive, there would be no mystery. This is why the mountain also intervened. There is no trace of the key in any place that can be seen at a glance inside the secret room. Now that the two are at the same starting point, whether they can get the key depends on their own abilities.

On the mountain, people began searching through the cabinets in the secret room. Jiang Ran stood still, pondering. With such tight security, would the key really be left in such an easy-to-find place after entering the secret room?

Jiang Ran looked down at the carpet beneath her feet. A sword was embroidered in gold thread, and there were three gold bricks on each of the four walls, making a total of twelve.

"Does the sword and the twelve represent the legend of King Arthur and the twelve Knights of the Round Table?"

"So......"

Jiang Ran turned her gaze to the ornaments on the counter.

A sculpture of a sword in a stone caught Jiang Ran's attention.

Shan Shang also turned his head to look, and saw that Jiang Ran picked up the stone sword ornament but did not pay much attention to it, because he had just checked the thing and even used some method to pull the stone sword out of the rock base, but found nothing.

Jiang Ran picked up the ornament and looked it over. There was a mechanism under the rock base. Once opened, he could take out the sword stuck in the rock. The mechanism was not closed on the mountain, so Jiang Ran could easily pull out the sword now.

However, there was still nothing there.

Jiang Ran squeezed the sword blade, nodded after confirming the material, and then raised the sword in the stone and slammed it heavily onto the ground!

The sword in the stone made a crisp sound and shattered into pieces on the ground!

A yellow key fell out!

Before he could even react on the mountain, Jiang Ran quickly picked up the keys and put them in his pocket!

The next moment, twelve golden arrows shot out from the gold bricks on the wall. Gwen immediately brandished her scissors to block in front of Jiang Ran, while the blue-clad crew members protected Jiang Ran's back!

"Will shattering the sword in the stone result in a counterattack?"

Even with two people protecting him, an arrow still grazed Jiang Ran's arm, leaving a bloody mark!

Kindred's Mark - Sheep! Healing!

On the other side of the mountain, however, luck wasn't so good. The blue-clad crew member shielded his back, and a sharp arrow accurately struck Yamashiro's left thigh, causing him to kneel on the ground in pain!

"What on earth have you done?!"

Shan Shang also gritted his teeth and stared at Jiang Ran, his eyes seemingly spitting out fury!

"Don't blame me for this. Who let you come in?"

Unfortunately, he couldn't finish her off, so Jiang Ran took Gwen and left, no longer paying attention to the mountain.

This guy has a gun, so let's not push him too far for now.

Having already obtained one key, Jiang Ran was considering whether to try and obtain other keys.

"Gwen, besides the one I have, can you sense the location of the nearest key?"

Inside the cabin, Han Xiaodong smiled slightly as he looked at the dark green [Key of the Forest] in his hand. After Jiang Ran found the first key, the second key smoothly fell into his hands.

This is thanks to Mo Sheng's talent [Range Observation], which allows her to see the location of anything, but only roughly. For example, when she looks at an apple, she will see the apple and the things around it (this range is 20cm, centered on the object being viewed). However, she cannot move while viewing, and the viewing time depends on the user's preference, ranging from a minimum of 5 seconds to a maximum of 7 seconds. It can be used a maximum of three times per instance.

Last night, she used her own abilities to check the situation in the first mate's cabin, which led her to give up the idea of ​​getting a VIP card.

With Mo Sheng's help, Han Xiaodong found the most hidden key with almost no effort.

"Mo Sheng, after today, you should leave this world first."

"Why?" Mo Sheng asked, puzzled. "Xiao Dong, I still have one more chance to use my abilities to help. Do you think I'll be in danger?"

Han Xiaodong nodded: "Danger exists. I have a life-saving talent, so I'm not afraid of death. But you're different. Why don't you go back first? At least we can guarantee that we, the Sun Never Sets, can get 1/7 of the reward."

"Even if we try to get the next key, the others aren't stupid. They'll make progress. Having one key or having three keys makes no difference."

What if we got all four keys?

"They're definitely going to die!"

Han Xiaodong came to the deck, where thick fog had enveloped the area, obscuring the sun above and the ocean below, making it impossible to even tell the time. The cruise ship sailed through the fog, like a dream.

[Should I choose to leave this world?]

An option popped up, and the two looked at each other in confusion. Han Xiaodong realized something was wrong; perhaps they had lost their sense of time!

"Leave, Mo Sheng, this is the safest way."

"There's nothing I can do, alright. Be careful, and make sure you come back alive!"

After Mo Sheng chose to leave this world, Han Xiaodong walked slowly through the mist, looking up at the fog that filled the sky.

"Just wait, I will win."

A minute later, Han Xiaodong met Yang Shan again at the same location.

"Isn't this Mr. Vince of the Sun Never Sets? The fog is so thick, don't get lost!"

"Thank you for your concern." Han Xiaodong narrowed his eyes. "I'm actually quite interested in your talent. It must be a talent that has never been discovered before!"

Yang Shan simply smiled slightly and did not reply.

Suddenly, a huge, crimson tentacle emerged from the mist, grabbing Yangshan's body and pulling him into the fog!

A bright red flower bursts open faintly in the mist!

Just then, the announcement came on, and Planck's voice echoed throughout the ship, though he sounded somewhat displeased: "A fog is rising. Please do not approach the ship's edge, and do not rely on your own judgment of time! Everyone should return to their rooms to rest. Please believe that the fog is only temporary! We will reach the resort island soon!"

Han Xiaodong took a step back. This broadcast came at a rather convenient time.

Did the esteemed SS-rank ghost story master, Yang Shan, really die in vain...?

In the captain's cabin, Planck put down the microphone and looked at the three people standing in front of him.

Soon, Zhuge Shensuan successfully obtained a VIP card through his talent. He had no intention of becoming a crew member, so after saying goodbye to the two, he headed towards the top floor room!

"I hope someone else doesn't beat me to it."

“You two want to be my subordinates? Hahaha! Good! Good!” Upon hearing what Wips and Dejov said, Planck laughed heartily. “I’m short-handed right now. Although I would love to promote you, you’ll have to start from the bottom.”

Planck handed the two men two sets of white crew uniforms: “Go find your superior, Dirick, and he will assign you your first mission.”

"Also, watch out for sea fog!"
