After treating the wound, Yingying took a painkiller because it was so painful, and then she was able to sleep peacefully.
Song Shixin stayed with her for the entire second half of the night, and only when it was dawn outside could she close her eyes and take a nap.
But the world obviously didn't want to let her have even a moment of peace.
As if entering some kind of cycle, the continuous screams broke the tranquility of the cruise ship in the early morning. Song Shixin dragged his tired body and went out to check with the injured who were also awakened by the screams.
“Someone’s dead!”
“Someone’s dead!”
A crowd gathered at the elevator entrance, and the staff barely managed to maintain order. Song Shixin squeezed in and was shocked to find that three people had died in the elevator.
The three men's bodies looked like they had been eaten by something, becoming tattered and broken, and then they were thrown into the elevator like kitchen waste.
From the panicked voices of the people, Song Shixin realized that a tourist had taken the elevator to eat that morning, and as soon as the elevator door opened, he saw this scene...
"What's wrong with your ship?" A man in the crowd spoke up and cursed loudly.
His voice seemed to open a floodgate, and immediately everyone started arguing one after another.
"We demand that the captain come out and explain!" Taking advantage of the chaos, an idea came to Song Shixin's mind. She covered her mouth and secretly shouted this sentence in the crowd.
Immediately, many people followed her and repeated, "We demand the captain come out and explain!"
"It's only the second day and five people have already died! What the hell is going on?"
"We're going on vacation, not to die! Where's the captain? We want to see the captain!"
The rioting passengers were beyond the control of the staff. After discussion, they decided that one person would notify the captain, and the rest would calm the passengers' emotions.
Having achieved his goal, Song Shixin emerged from the crowd and returned to Yingying at the back.
"I remember now." Yingying suddenly whispered in her ear: "Last night, the thing that scratched me could fly."
Her words made Song Shixin frown in confusion. Can it fly? Isn't the Siren a fish?
"I saw a black shadow at that time," Yingying said. "I was so flustered last night that I was just wondering what that huge black shadow was until I saw them."
Song Shixin followed her gaze and saw a few seagulls resting on the railing of the cruise ship. After a while, they flapped their wings and flew away.
"That thing had a pair of wings, so we didn't hear any footsteps at the time."
Song Shixin looked at Yingying's expression and patted her shoulder soothingly. Just as he was about to say a few words of comfort, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
What is he doing downstairs?
Song Shixin's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately said to Yingying, "Go back to your room, I'll bring you breakfast."
"No need..." Before Yingying could finish her words, Song Shixin had already run far away. She looked at the noisy crowd and finally returned to her room obediently.
Song Shixin ran downstairs. She was sure that the figure she had just seen upstairs was Richard!
At this time, the other party was alone on the deck, what was he doing?
She panted and searched the deck for the figure, but as if it was an illusion, she didn't see anyone here.
Song Shixin gritted her teeth unwillingly and felt unprecedentedly powerless. People kept dying on the ship. They didn't know who the murderer was, and they couldn't escape.
Shaking her head in frustration, she decided to return with heavy steps. At least, she could still get a chance to see what the captain looked like. With such a big deal, he should show up, right?
To her disappointment, when she returned upstairs, she was told that the matter had been resolved. The captain did not show up, but instead sent a message to the tourists through the communicator.
They will cross the Giant Serpent Strait today and will arrive at the Fairy Island at noon tomorrow. He has already contacted the police. Once they arrive at the Fairy Island, the police will come to arrest the murderer who committed the crime on his boat.
"Just let it go like that?" Song Shixin looked at the person she was questioning in disbelief.
The man shook his head helplessly: "What else can we do? Are we going to swim back by ourselves? There's only a little time left. If we can hold on, everything will be over."
This is a compromise.
Song Shixin realized this, because he was the captain of this ship. Only he could get in touch with the outside world and lead everyone to the fairy island...
In this situation, all the tourists unanimously chose to put these things aside first.
The elevator has been cleaned. I heard that the bodies will eventually be thrown into the sea. This is done to prevent the bodies from rotting and producing viruses that can infect living people and cause a maritime plague.
The captain was nowhere to be seen, and Richard was nowhere to be found. Feeling very disappointed, Song Shixin followed the crowd to get breakfast and returned to the room to eat with Yingying.
"Can we really reach the fairy island safely?" Yingying's face showed confusion.
Song Shixin didn't say anything. The only sound in the room was the crunching of food.
She didn't take much food, but on the way back she saw many people just took a large iron plate and filled it with food.
"I'll go back to my room to get some clothes to change into." After dinner, Song Shixin told Yingying.
In fact, she mainly wanted to confirm whether Richard was still in her house. She felt that she had to have a good chat with this person.
She had the key to her room. After opening the door, she saw Richard as expected. He was sitting on a chair in the room, flipping through a book that Song Shixin had taken out and placed on the bedside table.
