With no other option, Xi Xi took out paper and pen from the lucky bag and began to write.

She had been pondering why Li Jinshao's illusion was appearing here. Just now, she figured it all out.

She discovered that the fake "Li Jinshao" did not seem to have appeared out of thin air, but was "constructed" according to her memories.

"You mean this ship can read our memories?" Xi Zhongcang picked up a pen and wrote.

Xi Xi nodded and continued writing: "That's how it feels. But I think it's more appropriate to call it 'heartfelt voice' rather than 'memory'."

"It feels like it. But rather than 'memory,' it's more like 'inner voice.'" Xi Xi vaguely remembered that when she saw the unnatural state of the ice crystals on the deck, her first thought was to contact Li Jinshao to ask.

She explained, "I remember when I saw the icicles forming on the deck, the temperature didn't match the surrounding temperature, and my first reaction was to contact Li Jinshao to ask about the situation."

However, due to the extremely limited information available at the time, Xi Xi decided to hold off for now and conduct a comprehensive analysis after fully exploring the cruise ship.

But who could have imagined that she would encounter "Li Jinshao" that very night?

Similarly, the route they had taken was very unstable, and Xi's father had been looking for a lifeboat to get around, so he found an intact lifeboat on the fourth floor of the passenger ship.

Cheng Xu has a large appetite, and after a long day of hard work, he was obviously hungry, which explains the abundance of food in the main dining room.

Mr. Cheng was constantly worried about the accommodation for the night. From the moment he boarded the ship, he kept nagging about finding a room, which is why we ended up with a fully equipped luxury balcony suite.

“That’s it, but I need to verify it,” Xi Xi said. She glanced at her undamaged arm, then suddenly clutched it and began to groan in pain.

Xi Zhongcang and Cheng's father immediately understood her intention. They pretended to help Xi Xi and walked together toward the infirmary from the previous day.

When they entered the infirmary, they found that the previously empty room actually contained a bottle of liniment for sprains and bruises that smelled of mint, and the liniment was as cool as if it had just been taken out of the refrigerator.

The three exchanged a glance, the meaning of which was self-evident.

This "always-responsive" passenger ship clearly can't distinguish between truth and falsehood; it only reads people's thoughts to make judgments. In this way, by using the deceptive tactic of saying one thing and doing another, it can easily escape!

When Cheng Xu returned, he took the paper from Xi Xi and studied it for a long time before understanding the whole reason. Upon hearing that this place was unable to contact the outside world, his expression became even more serious.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Therefore, the four secretly agreed that they must get away from the ship as soon as possible.

However, when they pretended to be visiting and slowly moved to the boarding gate, they found that the entrance had completely disappeared!

The place where we originally boarded the ship has now been transformed into a tightly sealed high wall, with several oil paintings hanging on the wall, completely obscuring its original appearance!

Everyone felt a chill, but they forced themselves to remain calm and continued forward, glancing around from time to time to observe the other safety passages.

The passenger ship is quite tall, and without the movable gangway at the boarding gate, it would be difficult to land smoothly from such a height.

However, in theory, such large passenger ships should have dedicated emergency measures for dealing with emergencies.

After searching for a while, Xi Xi finally looked out through a porthole in the emergency escape area and nimbly lowered the Magic Retractable Ladder.

Unexpectedly, the retractable ladder extended too slowly, and before the bottom of the ladder even touched the ground, the passenger ship realized their intention to escape.

In an instant, the luxury liner was reduced to a dilapidated and dangerous ship once again. The crossbeams crashed down on their heads like Mount Tai crushing an egg. The four people hurriedly covered their heads and ran away, silently praying for their safety.

After a while, the surroundings returned to normal. The four of them, panting and wiping their sweat, sat down on the leather sofa. Xi Xi took out a pen and paper and wrote: "It can detect creatures trying to escape. It seems we are still too slow."

Xi Zhongcang took the pen: "Not only that, we also need to plan our route first; making decisions on the fly is not a good idea."

"This ship is still unstable. Everyone, quickly think of something to strengthen our desire to stay on the ship!" Cheng's father hurriedly wrote in cursive script while observing the swaying of the chandelier above his head.

So, after the four of them finished their bento boxes, they went their separate ways.

Through wishing, a cinema, game room, gym, and indoor climbing wall appeared on the ship.

Having learned from past mistakes, everyone was extremely cautious about these suddenly appearing items. Aside from food supplies, which they dared not touch, the other items showed no obvious side effects, which reassured them somewhat.

Everyone began to casually tour these newly appeared places, while secretly observing the terrain of the cruise ship and trying to take notes.

But after what just happened, the passenger ship seems to be much more vigilant than before. The current situation is that if even one person focuses too much on observing their surroundings, the ship will start to rock precariously.

It's very difficult not to use your inner voice, since when people are thinking deeply, they can't help but secretly plan things out in their minds.

Left with no other choice, Cheng Xu grabbed the game console and played it as he walked, afraid that the ship would catch his thoughts, and dared not even have too many mental thoughts.

However, as his thoughts waned, for a fleeting moment he actually felt that this ship was quite nice. As long as they didn't leave, everyone could live a happy life free from worries about food and clothing. Why not?

The neon lights of the arcade flickered, and the endless supply of game coins and various games exuded an alluring glow.

Once his mind cleared, Cheng Xu hurriedly slapped himself. The feeling just now was too strange, like being brainwashed, almost causing him to lose himself...

The movie theater was showing a remastered version of an old film. In the moment when the male and female leads embraced on the deck, Xi Xi could clearly feel the heat from the tattoo on her wrist.

She looked down with a hint of suspicion. Usually, this feeling only came when the daily drawing attempts refreshed, but today she had clearly used up all her attempts and equipped her father with a full set of gear.

As Xi Xi walked out of the movie theater, Xi Zhongcang, who was not far away, suddenly jumped up from his massage chair. He looked at Xi Xi and said, "That's strange. I've shaved at least three times since last night."

The new stubble on my dad's chin was bluish-gray, as stubborn as overnight tea stains.

Cheng Xu, who was holding the game console, suddenly froze. The sweat on the controller glistened under the blue light of the screen: "Huh? This save file shows... I spent forty-six hours to complete this game?"

His voice suddenly caught in his throat, and the torch held by the protagonist in the game screen was spinning strangely counterclockwise: "How is this possible? It's not even mealtime yet?!"

The three looked at each other, finally realizing the problem—

There's something wrong with the flow of time here!
