The Bandaged Man and the Fishman moved towards the return deck. The ship trembled slightly and the huge steel monster let out a low roar, which made the two men excited.

"You are still very powerful!"

The bandaged man's one eye flashed with light as he looked at the fishman.

"It's no big deal. I should be thankful that I chose the career of [engineer]."

The fishman said modestly.

"[Engineers] can analyze and understand all man-made objects and make them start in their original state. As long as I think it can start, then this ship will definitely be able to move."

"A very convenient power."

The Bandaged Man commented.

It’s just that the combat effectiveness is slightly insufficient.

If this fishman guy were to encounter a monster like the one in the engine room just now alone, he probably wouldn't be able to hold out for more than five seconds.

Fortunately, I have the advantage against this kind of monster, so I was able to deal with it without any harm, otherwise both of us would have died here.

"Is this the difficulty of [Alienation]? It feels just like this."

The bandaged man felt emotional and suddenly thought of a question.

“What if something goes wrong with that equipment after we’re gone?”

In connection with the strange situation encountered before, the Bandaged Man felt that there might be other monsters on the ship besides those shadow-like monsters.

"Don't worry. After I repair it and start it up, even if it is damaged, those things will function normally. What I repaired is the existence of the thing itself. That is, no matter what form it takes, it will be able to operate according to the functions I set. Even if it flies away, it will be fine."

As the fishman finished speaking, he heard a loud noise coming from downstairs.

"What's that sound?"

He listened attentively.

"It seems to be coming from the room just now...are there other monsters?"

Gray mist flowed from the bandaged man's fingertips and floated along the path they had taken. About two minutes later, the gray mist reached the engine room.

There was no one here, but all the main control equipment had flown to the other end of the room. The entire engine room was in a mess, as if it had been gnawed by some living creature.

Despite this, the turbines of the Stars were still turning, and the speed of the entire ship increased, as if it was about to reach the island.

"this……"

The bandaged man told the fishman what he had seen and heard, and the two looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

There really is an invisible and intangible monster on this ship!

Suddenly, the bandaged man felt that his gray mist seemed to touch something.

In an instant, he immediately gathered all the gray fog to the location where all the senses were.

The gray fog was like a bloody mouth, enveloping everything at that location. One could see that the scattered objects on the ground, no matter what they were originally, immediately dissolved and disappeared, becoming part of the gray fog.

However, the Bandage Man did not feel relieved.

Because those were very common things that could be found everywhere, and there was no creature among them that could turn the engine room into such a mess.

In other words, I came up empty-handed again.

As the corridor grew darker as the cruise ship moved, the bandaged man felt something coming towards him.

This is some kind of spontaneous, inexplicable inspiration.

“Go!”

The bandaged man patted the fishman, and the two of them immediately ran towards the deck.

After running for a while, Lu Ban stopped.

“So tired…”

The physical fitness of those two people was far beyond that of ordinary humans. Lu Ban couldn't keep up after following them for a while and stayed where he was, panting.

"You should exercise."

Feng Yu sneered.

"Neither of them is human. No matter how much I train, I can't surpass the limits of human beings."

Lu Ban retorted.

But he rested for a while, and recovered after the grass on his body disappeared.

The essence of physical fatigue is the damage to the body caused by strenuous exercise. Muscle soreness is caused by lactic acid produced by anaerobic respiration of muscles. Therefore, fatigue and discomfort caused by exercise is also a kind of pain.

The grass in Lu Ban's body was madly devouring the substances that made him feel uncomfortable while he was resting, and quickly eliminated Lu Ban's fatigue.

It also performed photosynthesis.

Now Lu Ban regained his stealth mode and walked up to the deck.

He noticed that there was one person missing from the deck.

Four Eyes is missing.

In other words, the living Four Eyes is gone.

All that was left on the ground was a mass of rotten flesh and blood, and next to the rotten flesh and blood, a mass of wriggling flesh and blood that was gradually shrinking.

There were countless eyes on the flesh and blood, staring at the bandaged man and the fishman.

The tentacles made of flesh and blood spread quietly, like a hunter waiting for an opportunity, ready to kill the two people in front of them at any time.

"……hound!"

The bandaged man made a surprised sound, as if he had never expected that there would be such a monster in this place.

No, he realized quickly that this was the challenge that a mission of [Alienation] difficulty should have.

But this challenge is a bit too exciting.

“Once you are targeted by the hounds, even if you return to your own world, you will be caught up by these guys who can travel through time and space... If you want to survive, you have to completely kill them or seal them away!”

The fingertips of the bandaged man turned into gray mist. The bandages on his body spread out, and his entire body became a ball of dark gray mist. His single eye turned scarlet, flickering dimly in the center of the mist.

The merman jumped into the sea without saying a word.

"?"

The bandaged man was stunned.

Is this guy selling himself out and planning to run away?

How could he be so decisive?

The Bandage Man would never have thought that he was actually regarded as a "friend" to be used as a shield by a newbie who knew little about it.

While he was thinking, the hound's tentacles had already stretched out, and the mist around the bandaged man suddenly shrank, allowing the tentacles to pierce into it.

He wanted to devour and dissolve the tentacle, but the eyes that opened on the tentacle made this idea come to nothing.

The bandaged man discovered that his most proud supernatural power was like a baby trying to stop the progress of the ship under the attack of the hound. The flesh and blood tentacles quickly wrapped around the gray fog, and some strange substances dripped from the tentacles, making the color of the gray fog become darker and darker, almost inky black.

In front of the gray fog, the hound opened its mouth, which was covered with millions of teeth and tentacles.

With just one bite, the gray fog and its tentacles were swallowed up. The hound suddenly expanded several times in size and then quickly shrank back down.

The hound's body trembled slightly for a few times, and soon there was no movement.

It came to the pool of flesh and blood that was slowly squirming and trying to escape from Four Eyes, and licked it clean carefully like a dog eating food from a plate.

He also burped.

Sniffing the air of the cruise ship, the hound came to the edge of the deck.

It saw the fishman wandering freely in the sea, and then looked inexplicably at the sea behind the fishman, which was causing a few ripples.

The hound moved its short legs and jumped into the sea.
