Chapter 65 Un Entertainment: Ji Yang's eyes darkened upon seeing this outfit...

When Jiang Yang opened her eyes again, a rare ray of sunlight shone in through the window.

Having long been accustomed to the dimness of the surroundings, he felt a sense of unreality under the sudden light.

Everything around him seemed both familiar and strange. He got out of bed and moved to the window. The waves were lapping against the hull of the ship. When he was high up, all that remained was a slight sway. He suddenly felt a sense of looking down on all living beings, as if he were in another world.

My gaze shifted to the deck, where Ji Yang had changed into a black suit, the sunlight reflecting off the fabric and giving it a faint sheen.

The gleaming fabric accentuated his upright back, making the clothes fit him perfectly, and his posture blended seamlessly with the lines of the suit.

However, what didn't fit his overall style was the transparent paper bag he was carrying. As if sensing Jiang Yang's intense gaze, Ji Yang turned to the side and looked up, holding the paper bag above his head, gently swaying it as he displayed it, within Jiang Yang's clear view.

It's a piece of corn.

Jiang Yang didn't feel hungry at first.

Jiang Yang couldn't hear what Ji Yang was shouting from behind, even from this height.

But the urgent thought in Jiang Yang's heart told him that he wanted to see Ji Yang.

...

As Jiang Yang walked to the exit leading to the deck, a sudden gust of sea wind blew in, making him shiver involuntarily.

Ji Yang was already waiting there when he saw Jiang Yang come down. His tall frame shielded Jiang Yang from most of the wind. Looking down, he saw a pair of toes curled up from the cold. Ji Yang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Are you hungry? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Jiang Yang lowered her head, her toes gripping the flip-flops even tighter as the shameful thought flashed through her mind.

He casually pulled his feet back a little, then looked up and spoke confidently, "Yeah, I'm hungry."

Ji Yang took out some corn and handed it to Jiang Yang. Jiang Yang took it, her eyes lighting up. "It's hot!"

“Yes, this can keep things warm,” Ji Yang said, referring to the bag he was holding. He continued, “The restaurant will open at 3 p.m., then we can go eat something else.”

Jiang Yang, munching on corn, spoke somewhat indistinctly, "No missions today?"

After his performance yesterday, he only received one notification: wait on the ship for the dinner to begin.

After the young man quickly finished eating, he was holding the corncob in his hand, unsure of what to do with it. Ji Yang naturally took it from him and instructed, "Go change your clothes first. You need to wear formal attire for today's event." This was also the reason why he had been waiting here in advance.

Before Jiang Yang even got up, he witnessed someone inappropriately going onto the deck and then being forcibly dragged back down.

Perhaps sensing Jiang Yang's embarrassment at not having prepared any clothes, Ji Yang continued, "I've put your clothes in the bathroom of your room."

She added, "It's one I've never worn before."

"It's okay if I've worn them," Jiang Yang muttered softly.

Ji Yang didn't quite catch that, and asked again uncertainly, "What?"

Jiang Yang pursed her lips, shook her head guiltily, and turned to flee, shouting without looking back, "Then I'll go change my clothes first!"

Ji Yang wasn't much taller than Jiang Yang, but because of Jiang Yang's frail physique, the fitted silhouette of Ji Yang's clothes actually gave him a look that allowed for endless imagination.

"Hey Jiang Yang, could you please take off your lousy glasses?!"

Nan Ke shouted first, and it's no wonder he said that. If Jiang Yang wore gold-rimmed glasses, he might have had a refined yet roguish air about him, but he was wearing big black-rimmed glasses, which made him look old and rigid.

Upon seeing this outfit, Ji Yang's eyes darkened. His glasses obscured Jiang Yang's beautiful eyes, just as his stubborn body was hidden beneath the ill-fitting clothes.

Nan Ke angrily tugged at Jiang Yang's sleeve, which rolled up to reveal a longsword-shaped gold embroidery underneath. He rolled his eyes in exasperation. "I'll take you shopping for clothes when we get back!" The last person he could dislike so much was Xie Lu, but thankfully, after all this time of his nagging, Xie Lu's fashion sense had finally improved somewhat.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you," Jiang Yang quickly said, finally putting an end to the topic of clothes.

Ji Yang, who had remained silent, also quietly noted this down.

Nan Ke lay back on the round deck chair, while Jiang Yang and Ji Yang leaned against the railing. After gradually getting used to the temperature at sea, the sunlight felt so comfortable that their pores opened up.

Jiang Yang opened his hands and made a grasping motion in the air like a child, as if he were grabbing sunlight into his palm. After thinking of something, he turned his head and asked, "Will there be a sun in the No Man's Land?" This was the first time he had seen the sun since he came here. At other times, it was more like a large lamp that could illuminate everything, but it only had light and no heat.

Yes, but not many.

"But it will snow, and judging by the time, winter should be coming soon," so I need to buy winter clothes too.

Ji Yang added another task to his schedule after returning home.

Several familiar faces gradually appeared on the deck.

Hoshino and Tsukie were the first to lock onto their target and head towards Jiang Yang. Hoshino forced Nan Ke to give up half of her space and lie down. In Nan Ke's words, "Shameless."

Zhang Qing stood not far from the group; the rest were people Jiang Yang didn't recognize.

There were a total of 160 people. The number of people who passed the test varied, but only ten were qualified to attend the banquet.

No, there's also the group of people who went up to the 23rd floor to compete for service qualifications.

Yuejiang was standing to Jiang Yang's left. After noticing his thoughts, she said, "Meng Jiang is here too."

Jiang Yang frowned. "I already told you, don't keep using your talent on me."

...

"Has anyone ever told you that you wear your heart on your sleeve?" Yuejiang said calmly, shifting his toes to leave. As he left, he added, "If you don't want others to notice, then keep your emotions in check."

The words were loaded with meaning.

Yuejiang and Jiang Yang parted on bad terms, and Nan Ke also shoved Xingye, who was lying next to him and hadn't realized what was happening, saying, "Get out, get out, get out with your brother."

Hoshino acted unreasonably, shouting, "I am me, my brother is my brother, I won't leave!" But in the end, he was still pushed down by Nan Ke.

Nan Ke stopped lying down and got up to walk towards Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang leaned close to Ji Yang's ear and asked, thinking she was being quiet, "Do I have words on my face?"

Ji Yang turned his head, carefully examining the person's face, and said in a serious tone, "Hmm...it seems so."

Jiang Yang snorted coldly and took two steps away from the person.

Ji Yang's inner monologue: Oh no, I said the wrong thing.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Nan Ke sandwiched between the two. Jiang Yang gently tapped his fingers on the metal railing, looking somewhat puzzled. "Why do you think the banquet is being held here?" He was concerned about how to get back to the sixth floor of Un Entertainment, as they were unable to disembark for the time being.

“When I went to see Huang Er off, the feeling that building gave me was like…” Nan Ke slowed down, hesitating and choosing his words for a long time before continuing, “It had been abandoned for a long time.”

"Hmm..." Jiang Yang pondered, "If it's true that Un Entertainment is in decline, then is the prosperity of the cruise ship real or fake?"

Unwilling to be ignored, Ji Yang suggested, "I think we can give it a try."

Nan Ke looked over and asked, "How do we try it?"

Ji Yang avoided Nan Ke and looked at Jiang Yang, "Miniature camera."

All falsehoods have nowhere to hide under its lens.

The question is, where to shoot?

With a limited amount of film, they certainly couldn't possibly film the entire cruise ship.

However, Jiang Yang quickly filtered through the information and soon identified his target.

He chose the mirror he saw during the performance.

...

As long as they don't disembark, they won't be overly restricted on the ship.

Jiang Yang's performance was in the entertainment hall on the fourth floor. When the lights were fully turned on, he realized that the stage was almost the same size as any hall on any floor of Un Entertainment.

The audience seats were within easy reach of the stage edge, and Jiang Yang thought of "them" surrounding him.

As expected, they were stopped upon entering the hall.

The mirror could only be seen after passing through a small path on the stage. Just as they were pondering how to get on stage, an unexpected figure appeared: Meng Jiang.

Meng Jiang, wearing the foreman's uniform, said, "Let them in."

Ji Yang thanked the man softly, and Meng Jiang immediately said, "Destroying this place is more effective than any amount of words."

He sold 75 rabbits and 43 seeds on the 23rd floor to get to this point. He almost couldn't tell the difference between himself and the monster. He originally went there for A-Zi, but later A-Zi tried to save him from losing his mind. Although he wasn't eliminated in the last 50%, he still became one of the people left in Un Entertainment.

So Meng Jiang wanted to destroy Un Entertainment, for Azi's sake, and also for those... people.

Jiang Yang and Nan Ke have a chat box, so Nan Ke is responsible for communicating with Jiang Yang from the outside at any time. The task of accompanying Jiang Yang on stage is assigned to Ji Yang. This time, after Jiang Yang stood on the stage, she watched as the crowd in the hall disappeared completely, and the bright lights illuminated "them" sitting below the stage in a very clear way.

His clothes were unkempt, and his face was covered in a mixture of rat and rabbit fragments; the young man's breathing became rapid.

"Don't be afraid," Ji Yang said.

Jiang Yang took a deep breath and started walking along the path of the performance she remembered.

The stone-paved road slowly appeared before Jiang Yang's eyes. As he walked forward, several sharp fingertips pressed against his face, but he seemed not to notice them at all. Ji Yang watched nervously with his hands behind his back, his palms slowly closing, as if he were about to draw his long sword and strike.

Finally, Jiang Yang stopped at the edge of the stage, turned slightly, and the scene in front of them changed. Ji Yang also saw the mirror he had mentioned.

Sitting at the dressing table, his reflection appeared in the mirror. He turned to look at Ji Yang, who nodded at him. Without hesitation, he took out a miniature camera, pointed it at the mirror, and snapped a picture.

The mirror rippled outwards like water, and soon a tightly closed glass door appeared on it.

Jiang Yang raised an eyebrow, unable to make a judgment. Ji Yang leaned down and brought the mirror close to his right ear. The floor number above the elevator door was reflected in the glass. He said uncertainly, "It looks like six..."

Before the sixth floor, there were only cages with people tied up, and suddenly this door appeared.

The direction is correct.

So... if you want to go back to the sixth floor...

Jiang Yang already had a new candidate in mind when he met Meng Jiang.

Ah-zi stayed at Un Entertainment, and Huang-er recuperated in the dormitory area.

...

After receiving the message from Jiang Yang, Nan Ke informed Meng Jiang, who then immediately relayed it to A Zi.

Before long, Jiang Yang saw in the mirror Azi, who was gradually becoming more mature and exuding the air of Mengjiang, and Huang Er, who was limping.
