Chapter 90 Cruise Ship

When Luo Huayi opened her eyes again, she felt an indescribable exhaustion all over her body.

Xin Que looked up at the two divine statues above them, which were beginning to crumble.

For Luo Huayi, fabricating surveillance footage that could fool regulatory procedures was already an overreach.

Holding the person, Xin Que followed the gradually returning gravity and fell into the landscape where the ground had been reconstructed into a new world.

Luo Huayi forced a smile. "Did you fool them?"

"Yes, well done." Xin Que's gentle voice drifted into his ears on the evening breeze. "We're safe."

Luo Huayi felt relieved after receiving an affirmative answer. His eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and his consciousness gradually sank into darkness, enveloped by exhaustion.

Finally, he could no longer hold on, his head slumped, and he leaned against Xin Que's chest, drifting into a hazy sleep.

The whistling wind gradually subsided, replaced by the bustling sounds of people on the street, cars passing by, and retro music playing from the mall's speakers.

Have we returned to the city?

Half-asleep, Luo Huayi noticed that the wind brushing against her skin was no longer biting.

The reassuring aura of someone still lingered beside him, protecting him as he moved through the skyscrapers.

Xin Que slowed her pace and stopped at the edge of the rooftop.

Her gaze lingered on the altered city boundary.

The layout of the boundary line has changed.

While still high in the air, she kept an eye on the reorganization and changes of the entire city. The city, which was originally inland, had now been moved to a coastal location and had an additional dock.

Recalling the two statues' words about being "demoted to the Second Hall," Xin Que's gaze toward the boundary line grew even more profound.

The so-called Second Palace should be a new level of prison.

It doesn't matter.

Xin Que looked at the man who had fallen into a deep sleep.

Now that Luo Huayi has sided with her, she has another trump card in her hand.

As long as I piece together all my memories...

Xin Que led his men and leaped down from the top floor platform, landing steadily on the crossbeam below.

Even if she's in hell, she'll create a chance for herself to turn things around.

The music echoing through the mall streets grew clearer and clearer.

Luo Huayi slowly opened her eyes and found herself sitting on a bench by the commercial street.

Xin Que's voice sounded from beside him, "Awake?"

Luo Huayi stretched her limbs, but was still extremely tired. "Hmm."

He had a terrible headache. "We're in..."

“Downtown,” Xin Que said succinctly, “Overseas.”

Luo Huayi rubbed his forehead, finally managing to discern their surroundings.

"How could this be abroad..." He was somewhat bewildered as he faced the unfamiliar scenery.

"To put it simply, we've been placed in a new instance." Xin Que gestured for him to look at the thing that had appeared out of thin air in her hand. "The city we're currently in is a port city."

Luo Huayi then noticed the cruise ticket in her hand with gold lettering.

"July 3rd," Luo Huayi saw the date on the ferry ticket and immediately took out her phone to check the time. "Tomorrow?"

Their mobile phone location showed that they were in a port city in a coastal country.

The area was bustling with locals and tourists of all skin colors, some speaking the local language and others speaking foreign languages.

"I never imagined that the way to leave the city would be to reorganize it into a new one..."

Xin Que clicked her tongue as she thought of her previous attempts to leave the city, which had all failed.

I overestimated those people; I never imagined that this mental prison was just a small map.

"Why a cruise ship?" Luo Huayi stared at the gold-embossed words "Victoria" on the tickets, unable to understand why the two of them had been transported here.

Xin Que already had a plan in mind.

The so-called luxury cruise ship is probably just her new prison.

Luo Huayi looked at the ticket that had reappeared in her hand as soon as she let go, feeling like it was a hot potato that she couldn't shake off.

"Go without worry," Xin Que casually made a promise, "No matter what, you were dragged into this by me... I won't let anything happen to you."

Luo Huayi felt that the scene was somewhat strange, with the order of things reversed.

"I wasn't scared either." Luo Huayi raised her hand to cover her face, her voice tinged with frustration.

Cheng Zheng, accompanied by fully armed bodyguards, rushed over from a distant shop, shouting, "President Luo!!!"

"How did you get separated from us?" he gasped, his expression tense. "The security here is not like back home; there are armed people..."

As if in response to Cheng Zheng's jinx, a scream suddenly came from the street.

Then came the gunshots.

The previously noisy crowd was startled and screamed as they fled in panic.

Cheng Zheng immediately surrounded Luo Huayi with his bodyguards.

Luo Huayi “…”

How come he never noticed before that his assistant was such a jinx?

He remembered that Xin Que was still standing there, and subconsciously wanted to call Xin Que to join them, but when he turned his head, the bench was already empty.

Xin Que vanished without a trace.

"Contact me by phone." A familiar female voice came from beside her. Luo Huayi turned around, only to see Xin Que's back disappear into the crowd.

“With Miss Xin’s skills, she’ll be fine,” Cheng Zheng said, his hand resting on the holster on his lower back as he escorted Luo Huayi toward their car. “Mr. Luo, you don’t need to worry about her.”

His boss should be more worried about himself, who is unarmed and dares to wander around the city.

Luo Huayi saw the speechlessness in Cheng Zheng's eyes and her lips twitched.

He had no idea he would inexplicably end up in this port city.

"By the way," Luo Huayi said, getting into the car safely, and asked Cheng Zheng in the front seat, "Why did we go abroad?"

Cheng Zheng has not awakened; his behavior is still governed by the plot of Heaven's will.

"You forgot?" Cheng Zheng's speechlessness deepened. "We came here at the invitation of our overseas partners."

"This time, celebrities and dignitaries from the circle will participate in the sea voyage organized by the Victoria."

“But the organizer’s background is really complicated, and the people attending this gathering are from all walks of life…” Cheng Zheng’s expression became more serious. “Moreover, the cruise ship is passing through international waters… For your safety, please do not leave the bodyguard’s sight.”

"Okay, I understand," Luo Huayi laughed it off, "I guess I've been too busy lately and my memory isn't what it used to be."

Cheng Zheng "..."

It doesn't matter if your memory is good or bad, just don't forget to pay your bonus on time.

Luo Huayi looked out the car window at the rapidly receding street scene and began to think about going to the cruise ship tomorrow.

According to the information Xin Que revealed in mid-air, the entire world exists solely to punish her...

Then, on tomorrow's cruise trip, Xin Que will probably be pushed along by the plot as well.

Luo Huayi slowly closed her eyes.

Cruise ships where power struggles intertwine...

Sea areas without jurisdiction measures...

Then, recalling the gunshots that had just rang out on the street and the pistols that Cheng Zheng and his men were carrying, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Xin Que, aren't you being too optimistic?
