Chapter 187: Gods 8

The hand was dark in color, and the skin was relatively rough and dry. It stretched out towards him through the mirror. Wang Zhongliang stared at the hand in a daze as it got closer and closer to him.

“Snap!”

The surroundings fell into darkness, and the whole world seemed to have quieted down. A half-stretched hand in the void stopped moving. The cruise ship lost power at 9:10.

Wang Zhongliang was breathing heavily, the cold air seemed to penetrate his bones. He didn't have time to wipe the sweat off his body, and he was so cold that he curled up in a corner, shivering.

The more such an environment he was in, the clearer his mind became. He must have been controlled by a ghost just now. If it weren't for the sudden power outage, that hand would have grabbed him.

But will the ghost not catch him just because there's a power outage? That's a mirror, not a real TV...

As if to verify his guess, the motionless ghost hand suddenly stretched out, grabbed Wang Zhongliang's collar and pulled him in.

The man's figure disappeared in the mirror, and the room was so quiet that even the sound of breathing disappeared.

…

…

The sea was pitch black, and now even the light coming through the windows was out. There was a violent storm, lightning and thunder, and it was pitch black without one being able to see one's hand in front of one's face.

Zeng Huihui closed her eyes and held the door handle. The stronger wind and rain made it impossible for her to open her eyes. Once she opened them, the rain flowed into her eyes, making them feel astringent and painful.

The sound of thunder and rain drowned out the sound of something crawling up.

Several swollen hands grabbed the railing, climbed up, stepped onto the deck, and gradually surrounded the entire cruise ship. Some of them were already close to the panicked girls.

Zeng Huihui was shivering all over, and she couldn't tell whether the water on her face was tears or rain. She could feel something approaching her, and a hint of coldness came over her face.

I can’t care about that anymore! Zeng Huihui used up all her strength, opened the door and got in, then closed the door again, lying on the ground helplessly.

She reached out to wipe the rain off her face, then finally opened her eyes to look around, but she could see nothing. It was too dark, the cruise ship had lost power, and there was no sound at all.

There were clearly a few guests eating when she ran out, but now they had all disappeared.

A ghostly hand was approaching in the darkness. Zeng Huihui felt a chill on her back and got goose bumps. She lay there stiffly, her breathing becoming lighter.

I remember someone said that the human body can also see danger. Even if the eyes cannot see it, if there is danger approaching, goose bumps will appear on the body.

She didn't know if this was true, but she did feel something approaching from behind her, and her intuition told her that it was something very dangerous.

Zeng Huihui swallowed and used her last bit of strength to get up.

“Ahhhhhhh!!!”

Before she could stand firmly, a hand grabbed her neck and pulled her into the darkness.

…

…

Sui Haoping brought Yu Qing to the cockpit. He pointed at the route on the screen and said, "We were originally following the prescribed route, but this road is not where we want to go."

Yu Qing sat in the captain's seat, and she pushed the captain aside: "Where is the destination?"

Sui Haoping: "It's a place called Black Crow Island. We were originally going to a coastal area, but somehow ended up on Black Crow Island."

Yu Qing seemed to be thinking: "Can you tell me what's going on with you guys?"

Sui Haoping and the captain looked at each other, and they both sighed. Finally, they decided that Sui Haoping would explain the historical reasons of the Infinite.

"We actually existed a long time ago. At that time, there were no cruise ships in my hometown, and even few cars."

According to Sui Haoping's narration, the Infinite appeared thirty years ago, and that was the first time they saw such a large ship.

It was said that the Wuyin appeared suddenly and no one knew where it came from. They just saw the tanker on the beach. The staff on the ship, including Sui Haoping, could not explain it clearly.

Why did they sail on a cruise ship and how did they head towards a destination? They only remembered that the original destination seemed to be in a coastal area, but they no longer remembered what it was called.

The memories of his previous life seemed to be sealed and he couldn't recall them at all.

The guests on the ship appeared in an irregular pattern. Some were former players, while others appeared suddenly, and no one knew where they came from.

Among these people, Sui Haoping was the first to regain consciousness. Gradually, the staff on the cruise ship regained consciousness. In their limited memory, the Infinity had existed for more than ten years.

Every year, five people board the ship, and these five people need to survive on the cruise ship. The specific time is unclear, they only know that this seems to be a rule of the game.

After living for a certain period of time, people can get off the ship, which is equivalent to surviving. They will never encounter a cruise ship again in the future. However, past records show that no one has ever survived.

The same principle applies to staff members like Sui Haoping, who experience the pain of sinking into the sea again every year.

Struggling painfully in death, logically speaking, they have died once and should be ghosts, but every time they sink into the sea, they will experience extreme pain.

The kind of people who tried their best to escape for survival but could never escape the control of fate. All the employees went from despair to numbness at the beginning, and now they are used to it.

Anyway, they will lose consciousness after sinking into the sea, and when they return to normal, they will return to the moment when the cruise ship first set out.

But time is indeed flowing, not static and infinitely repeated.

"We later discovered that the power outages occurred at 9:10 every time, and the shipwreck occurred three days later, at the same time. This was an unchanging rule."

After saying that, Sui Haoping stood beside the captain. They had a feeling of being dependent on each other, which was quite pitiful. They didn't want to harm others on their own initiative, but were forced to do so.

Yu Qing suddenly stood up, looked at Sui Haoping and said, "Kill me."

Sui Haoping, Captain: "..." Is she stupid???

"I said, kill me in your own way."

Yu Qing repeated it again, and the moment he finished speaking, the surroundings fell into darkness. It was exactly 9:10.

Sui Haoping shook his head in confusion: "I still need you, why would I kill you?"

He only heard a cold voice in the darkness with a hint of certainty: "Only in this way can I end the cycle. Don't you believe me?"

Well, that made him understand.

Sui Haoping didn't know what to do, but he always killed people with his hands, and the moment he grabbed the person, that person would suddenly disappear.

So when Yu Qing disappeared from the cockpit, he looked calm and found a place to sit down and wait.

The captain asked doubtfully, "Do you think she can really do it?"
