Chapter 142 The Infinite Player's Ghost Wife
The sun is warm and it brings warmth to people.
The air was filled with the aroma of sweet hazelnuts, reminiscent of melting honey.
Lin Zhi sat on a white iron craft chair next to a round table. On the table was a vase with two beautiful orchids in it.
Directly opposite Lin Zhi is a glass fish tank with a very delicate design, which gives people an optical illusion, as if the fish tank is just a rectangle with a wide cross section and a narrow top, and the fish are swimming freely in the compressed space.
The warm sunlight made Lin Zhi's face paler. Fortunately, his power could protect him from the negative effects of the sunlight, but it was still uncomfortable to be exposed to the sun. He raised his hand to block the light and looked around.
This is the second-floor deck of a ship. Next to the swimming pool is a rest area, where Lin Zhizheng is sitting. There is an ornamental fish tank facing the side of the hull. The three sides are open with a wide view, allowing tourists to see the surrounding scenery.
In addition to Lin Zhi, there were five other people sitting scattered around the rest area. Judging from the clothes they wore for different seasons and the same awakening movements, they were the players of this game.
Xie Qing was sitting at the table near the fish tank. He opened his eyes and immediately looked up to search for him. When he saw him, he smiled, lively but with some of his unique nonchalant laziness, and walked towards him.
"Isn't the sun too strong here? Do you want to sit on the lounge chair?"
Xie Qing was talking about the beach chairs in front of the swimming pool, which were set up with large umbrellas to block some of the sunlight.
Lin Zhi did not refuse and walked to the beach chair and lay down. Xie Qing stood beside him, his shadow cast over Lin Zhi, shielding him from the sunlight coming from the other side.
Everyone introduced themselves as usual. Xie Qing knew that Lin Zhi was a little too lazy to talk to people he didn't care about, and he wasn't a serious player, so when he introduced himself, he also introduced Lin Zhi.
"His name is Lin Zhi, and he's my boyfriend."
After Xie Qing said Lin Zhi's name, he paused and then introduced their relationship very naturally.
Xie Qing definitely wouldn't tell anyone before releasing him, after all, that wasn't the case, and he was still worried that Lin Zhi would kill him at any time.
But the situation has changed. Lin Zhi has told him that he can kiss her as he pleases. They have already done it and got married. This is no different from being in a relationship. Anyway, Lin Zhi can forget about abandoning him.
Sovereignty must be declared first to prevent anyone from staring at his wife and making her blush. Not everyone in the world after death is busy surviving. Before the crisis of consciousness dissipating, there are always people who huddle together for warmth. Xie Qing doesn't want anyone to stare at Lin Zhi.
After Xie Qing finished speaking, he took a special look at Lin Zhi's face. Seeing that Lin Zhi did not deny it or be surprised, and did not even open his eyes, he felt a little happy and a little sad, which made him a little upset.
I smile when I think of others, so why don't I smile at him?
The four teammates were a little envious. After all, in this kind of world, it’s good to have a companion.
The four teammates this time are two men and two women, and the age gap is not particularly large.
The woman on the far left is called Chen Yun. She is in her thirties with long hair tied up behind her head. She looks very gentle, like a kind aunt next door.
The woman next to her was in her twenties, with a low ponytail and wearing a professional suit, but she looked listless and her posture was a little depressed. She introduced herself as Meng Ling and didn't say anything else.
The other two men were about the same age, both in their twenties or thirties. The young man in sportswear who introduced himself as a physical education teacher was named Wu Zhongchuan, and the other thin man wearing glasses was named Geng Yi.
No one revealed their talents. After all, they had come this far and were no longer newbie players. They not only had to guard against monsters, but also their teammates.
After completing the self-introduction process, everyone looked at the fish tank at the same time.
The six ornamental fish inside are not of the same species, but they look harmonious overall, swimming in the exquisitely decorated fish tank.
It was just an optical illusion, the flatness made people feel as if they would be unable to move in the next moment. Chen Yun walked to the side and felt that he could breathe much more smoothly.
Generally, things in a dungeon are suggestive, such as the goldfish in the fish tank, the chess pieces on the chessboard, etc. These usually indicate to the players that no one has mentioned these knowledge points, and they discuss how to divide the work to find clues.
"There's a key in my pocket with a room number on it. Which room do you live in?"
Wu Zhongchuan took out the key from his coat. The key was a small round card with a number written on it.
Xie Qing took out a card with 403 written on it. Lin Zhi also took out a card from his pocket with 404 written on it.
Chen Yun tucked up her hair and said, "I'm in Room 402."
As everyone reported their room numbers, we found that they were all on the same floor, 401-406.
Lin Zhi looked at the approximate size of the ship. There were at most six rooms on the fourth floor. Were they all occupied by players?
"There are four floors in total. Let's search them separately."
Wu Zhongchuan walked onto the deck, looked down, then up, and made a proposal.
Xie Qing: "The fourth floor, which is the top floor, should be our rooms. Let's check it out together. This ship is not big. Most of the space on the second floor is for entertainment facilities. There are not many things to check inside. The third floor is also for living. I suggest that we go to the first floor together, and then search the third floor separately."
Xie Qing used to be too lazy to talk, but now he is very active.
After all, the amount of points is linked to the contribution of the copy, and Xie Qing still has to save points to buy things.
Wu Zhongchuan smiled awkwardly: "Hahaha, I have never been on a ship, so I am not very clear, then let's follow your arrangements."
Chen Yun and the others had no objections. They didn’t know what was in their room if they opened it, so it was nice to be able to look at it together.
The first floor is the widest place on the ship. It is where the kitchen, bar and restaurant are integrated. More than a dozen tourists are sitting scattered around, some enjoying delicious food, while others are drinking cocktails at the bar, looking relaxed and comfortable.
The six people who came in had a somewhat out-of-place sense of tension about them, which was completely different from the aura exuded by the others.
After all, they didn't know whether this seemingly peaceful restaurant would lead to a riot the next moment, and knives and forks were very dangerous.
Lin Zhi's eyes swept over every tourist. The air was still filled with the sweet smell of baking. Hazelnut cakes and hazelnut coffee were placed steaming hot on the buffet counter, waiting for tourists to enjoy.
Xie Qing is the person who is most similar to the holiday atmosphere, so he goes to talk to the NPC.
Everyone scattered and quickly gathered again.
Wu Zhongchuan: "What did you find out?"
Xie Qing: "This is a holiday ship. Due to its size, it only accommodates more than 20 people. Its quality and reputation are very good. The six of us live on the best top floor, while they all live on the third floor. The ship just left the port. Because it is a sightseeing ship, the speed is very slow. The total journey is three days and two nights."
Wu Zhongchuan: "I got similar information. I asked the chefs and bartenders, and they also conducted a taste survey, hoping that we would be satisfied with their company's services."
Chen Yun frowned slightly: "I didn't find anything unusual, and I didn't find anything valuable."
"The ship has only been in operation for two years, and it is a time when it is being run with care, and no murders have occurred."
Meng Ling spoke slowly, rubbing her face to cheer herself up.
Lin Zhi: "The emotions among the tourists were normal and there was no dispute."
Geng Yi said even less: "Nothing was found."
None of them were new to the infinite game, but none of them got anything.
We went up to the second floor. Visitors were not allowed to enter the control room at will, but after a quick look through the glass, there was nothing special.
Lin Zhi went up to the third floor. Most of the tourists were not in their rooms, so most of the doors were locked.
There were two open rooms, and Xie Qing pretended to have taken the wrong road and went into one of them. There was a man watching an action movie inside, and he was almost scared to death when he saw Xie Qing.
"Who are you?"
"Your door is not closed properly."
Xie Qing glanced at the study materials and resisted the urge to ask the other party to give him some advice.
There was no such thing for sale in the mall, and he had no place to find theoretical guidance books.
The man closed the door immediately without giving anyone a chance to talk.
Xie Qing helplessly spread his hands to his teammates and went to another open room.
The woman inside was pacing back and forth, coaxing the child in her arms, and was a little wary of the stranger.
Xie Qing took a few steps back and Chen Yun walked forward.
She chatted with the woman freely, starting with the baby's age and talking about some parenting tips. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Chen Yun also held the baby, with a smile on her face, and carefully returned it to the woman.
Chen Yun spoke only after they walked outside.
"Her family of three came together. Because the baby was suddenly hungry, she took him back from the second floor to the room to feed him. Her husband went to eat first and came back to take care of the child. She went to eat instead. There was nothing special about it. The baby was also normal."
Chen Yun had given birth herself and could tell that there was nothing wrong with the child.
Having no problem is sometimes the biggest problem.
They walked towards the fourth floor and started looking from 401.
The layout and furnishings of each room are almost the same. There are three rooms on one side, distributed symmetrically. 403 and 404 are right opposite each other. Xie Qing doesn't care. He won't sleep alone anyway, so of course he will sleep in his wife's bed.
There was no extra stuff, not even any luggage in anyone's room. Inside were all pajamas, towels, swimsuits, etc. prepared by the shipping company.
Meng Ling pushed up her glasses and said listlessly, "How strange."
Chen Yun: "Does it have to wait until nightfall for things to happen?"
Wu Zhongchuan: "In short, everyone should be alert. We live very close to each other. If anything happens, please call us at any time."
There's nothing to see anymore, so everyone goes their separate ways.
Lin Zhi entered her room, and Xie Qing walked in and closed the door.
Of course, no one would interfere in the affairs of a couple. Meng Ling returned to her room, and the others went downstairs.
The bed in the single room was a bit cramped for two men. Lin Zhi was pressed on the bed, his lips licked and bitten until they were bright red.
"Honey, did you notice anything unusual?"
Xie Qing was clearly doing something improper, but he was asking about serious matters.
"No."
Lin Zhi didn't feel any negative energy or resentment on the ship, it was as if it was just an ordinary ship.
The sunlight coming in through the window was a little dazzling. Lin Zhi squinted subconsciously and saw Xie Qing's shadow falling to the ground.
The shadow seemed to move, but it seemed to be his illusion, after all, Xie Qing was also moving.
Xie Qing drew the curtains, but the fabric did not completely block out the light, leaving the room in a dim and ambiguous atmosphere.
