Back to the cruise ship
There was no light inside the octopus's body, so Li Ping'an couldn't see anything clearly. He could only rely on his sense to stab the fruit knife out. He didn't know where he stabbed it, but it was very elastic. Li Ping'an put the knife against it and pressed down with all his strength before it stabbed in.
At the moment of stabbing, Li Ping'an felt a violent bump under her body, and her eyes suddenly lit up. Since the octopus reacted, it meant that the knife had caused damage to it.
It cut open along the place where the needle was inserted. Li Ping'an grimaced in pain at first. After all, the skin on her hand must have been corroded, otherwise it wouldn't hurt so much.
But no matter how painful it was, he had to keep going. Li Ping'an endured the pain in his hands and paddled hard. The vibration under his feet became more and more obvious.
Li Ping'an even felt that the octopus knew that it was the Li Ping'an inside its body who was causing trouble. It seemed that it started to stir on the spot, and Li Ping'an was thrown so hard that he couldn't even hold the fruit knife.
At the same time, Li Ping'an felt the tingling sensation in various parts of his body became more obvious.
It was obvious that the octopus wanted Li Ping'an to be digested quickly.
Li Ping'an was now shaking with pain and had no strength left.
Am I really going to die in an octopus's belly?
Li Ping'an was unwilling to give in. What else could he have besides a fruit knife?
Oh, right, cell phone.
Li Pingan quickly searched his pocket for his cell phone, but couldn't find it.
She could no longer bear the feeling of stomach acid corroding her body and cried out in pain. After she cried out, Li Ping'an stopped moving.
The octopus seemed to notice that Li Ping'an was not moving, so it slowed down its movements and swam to the bottom of the sea with the food in its stomach.
When Li Ping'an woke up again, he found that the pain from stomach acid corrosion on his body did not seem as intense.
It seems that the software's protection of her is still effective, which also means that if Li Ping'an cannot find a way out, she will keep repeating the process of resurrection, being corroded to death, resurrection, and being corroded to death.
Li Pingan felt despair just thinking about it.
The fruit knife cannot be used anymore. Although it will hurt the octopus, the damage is too small. It may also make the octopus angry, which will make you feel worse.
Li Pingan thought that since she was able to be resurrected, it meant that the cell phone must still be usable and was nearby.
Li Ping'an began to grope around, enduring the sticky and stinging feeling.
Finally, Li Ping'an found his cell phone not far from his head.
After turning on the flashlight on his mobile phone, Li Ping'an was finally able to see clearly where he was. After taking a look, Li Ping'an turned off the flashlight. It was too disgusting, so he decided not to look at it anymore.
After opening the software and taking out the "New Ghost's Tears" that he had received as a reward earlier, Li Ping'an took the small bottle and dripped several drops onto the wound he had just stabbed, fearing that he would not be able to kill the octopus and would suffer at the same time.
At the moment of the drip, Li Ping'an first felt cool, then cold, so cold that she could no longer feel the pain in her body. Then there was a violent shaking, and finally, Li Ping'an lost consciousness again. Before losing consciousness, she hurriedly stuffed the mobile phone and the bottle into her arms.
Very good, he froze himself to death.
When he woke up again, Li Ping'an felt cool, but the tingling sensation in his body was gone. It seemed that the octopus had been frozen to death.
Li Ping'an once again grasped the hand knife that was inserted into the octopus' body and pressed down hard, but found that the octopus suddenly broke into pieces.
A ball emitting black light appeared in front of Li Ping'an. Li Ping'an grabbed it with her quick eyes and hands. Although she didn't know what it was, she knew that there would be a reward after killing the boss.
Caught off guard, Li Ping'an was submerged in water again.
Li Ping'an didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear that something would pop out from the deep and dark seabed.
Li Ping'an quickly swam towards the surface of the sea.
The moment he stuck his head out, Li Pingan couldn't help but take a deep breath and felt that he was finally alive.
The cruise ship was still parked not far away. After adjusting his breathing, Li Pingan swam over.
After swimming along the cruise ship for a long time, Li Ping'an still couldn't find a place to climb up, so she could only look around with her head raised.
At this time, a head wearing a white lace hat appeared, looked down, and inadvertently met Li Ping'an's eyes.
Li Ping'an recognized that this was the medieval noblewoman on the cruise ship. When he was about to ask her for help, he saw her head suddenly retract.
Li Ping'an sighed when he saw this. He couldn't blame her. After all, the masked man was so scary. If he was caught by him, wouldn't he be implicating others for no reason?
Although Li Ping'an comforted himself in this way, he still felt a little lost and depressed inside.
It just so happened that she didn't have much energy left, so Li Ping'an let herself drift on the sea. At most, she would drift here for two more days. After three days, it would have to send her back.
Looking up at the sky, Li Pingan thought to himself, I don’t know what’s going on in this place. The night sky is so dark. Not only are there no stars, but I can’t even see the moon.
She was hungry. She had survived a life-or-death battle with an octopus and had swam in the sea for so long. Now that her emotions had calmed down, she felt very hungry.
I really want to sneak onto the cruise ship and eat the small cakes we had earlier.
Just as Li Ping'an was rubbing his stomach to convince himself that he was not hungry, a rope was swung down.
When Li Ping'an saw the rope, he was a little nervous at first. He thought that the masked man saw that he was not dead and had run away, so he wanted to tie him up again.
But when he looked up, he saw that it was the medieval noble lady who had returned.
There are still many good people in the world!
Li Ping'an had no time to sigh and climbed up by pulling the rope.
As soon as he landed, before he could even thank the lady, she pulled him to a corner.
The lady looked Li Pingan up and down, full of surprise, "You actually survived."
Li Pingan nodded. Just as he was bragging about his abilities, he heard the noble lady continue, "Just be lucky to survive. Find a place to hide, and don't let him see you again."
"Who on earth is he?"
The lady wanted to call him a madman at first, but then she remembered that this was his territory and she would be in trouble if she was discovered.
I could only say politely, "This place really used to be a vacation spot. While relaxing, playing games, and winning small prizes, it was pretty good."
"But, three years ago, he came," the lady looked around and saw no one else, so she breathed a sigh of relief and continued.
"He used to be a delivery man like us, with a lot of experience and so many good things on his hands that I can't even count them all."
"I don't know what provoked him, but everyone was having a great time on that trip when he suddenly rushed up, killed the host, and then forced everyone on the ship to follow his rules."
Li Pingan's eyes widened when he heard this. This man was actually a delivery driver. "So no one is taking care of him?"
The lady shook her head, she didn't know that.
"If he is so cruel, why do so many people come?"
When the lady heard this, she looked at Li Ping'an with a smile and touched the umbrella in her hand. "Why? Of course it's profitable."
"He has countless treasures in his hands, and every time the game ends, the participants gain a lot."
"Not to mention, he always finds something that others dream of as the highest reward." When she said this, the lady narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she was thinking deeply.
Li Pingan was listening intently and asked, "Is this the cuckoo he mentioned before? What is it for?"
Seeing that Li Ping'an seemed to know nothing, the lady felt helpless and confused. Logically speaking, someone of her level would not receive such a dangerous invitation, so why did she come up?
But when she looked at Li Ping'an, she thought of her own daughter, the same age, the same innocence, and the same lovableness.
"Dujuan, I don't know exactly what this thing looks like, but it can steal talents and skills. Most importantly, it has an even more special ability."
"Talent skills? Do we have such a thing?" Li Ping'an became more and more confused the more she listened. She didn't remember the software mentioning this.
When the lady heard this, she was even more puzzled. How could she know nothing? "What do you do every day?" How could she know nothing?
"Delivering something to a client, the kind that transcends time and space."
"So what's the reward you're asking for?"
"Money, of course it's money. I don't work for free." Li Pingan answered confidently.
The lady was silent. It had been a long time since she had seen such a pure errand boy. He looked at her with a complicated look, yet with a hint of nostalgia.
A long time ago, they started with this original intention, but the more worlds they visited, the more things they came into contact with, and the greater their desires.
First it was money, then a lot of money, then power, then supreme power, and then it progressed to flying, escaping the earth, and becoming immortal...
Li Ping'an may think that they are all the same errand runners, but every one of these people outside has used this software to become a bully in their own real world.
The lady patted Li Ping'an on the shoulder and said, "I hope you can keep your original intention." Then, she whispered in Li Ping'an's ear, "Don't trust anyone here easily."
But her original intention was long gone, and only her growing desire remained.
Looking at the lady's departing back, Li Ping'an scratched his head. He still didn't understand what innate skills were, let alone what innate skills he had.
Forget it, never mind.
Li Ping'an was hungry and she had to find something to eat.
Sticking close to the wall, Li Ping'an moved step by step on the deck. Her goal was to find the kitchen.
At first, whenever she met someone, Li Ping'an would immediately stick to the wall and pretend that she didn't exist. Later, she found that this group of people just pretended not to see her, so Li Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't expect these people to help her, so she would be thankful as long as they didn't report her to the masked man.
Li Ping'an walked and stopped like this and successfully reached the kitchen. Looking inside through the window, Li Ping'an felt his stomach growling again.
