"It was like a cruise ship hitting a reef. Suddenly, the ship stopped, and then those things appeared. All the passengers were terrified."
Canton pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "It all happened so suddenly, there was no time to make any arrangements, and the lifeboats couldn't be used in time either."
The captain rubbed his face hard. "The problem now is that nobody knows we're in trouble, we can't send out SOS, and we can't call the navy for help."
“Um…” the curly-haired man raised his hand, “We contacted you before, but someone shut down the communication system. Perhaps I can fix it.”
Canton shook his head. "The core of all the systems has been burned out. It's impossible to send a distress signal from here."
"Someone shut down the communications system..." the captain suddenly roared, grabbing Canton by the collar. "It was you, wasn't it? You did it, didn't you? God, why did you do this? I thought the Ago was your life's work!"
The captain and Canton got into a heated argument, and through their argument, Xia Linyin finally figured out the plot of the movie.
Although the Sago cruise ship set sail fully loaded on its maiden voyage, filled with wealthy and jewel-adorned noblewomen, the ship's operating costs far exceeded the ticket price due to its extreme luxury. Therefore, Canton handed the ship over to the bank to avoid incurring debt.
The previous malfunction of all the operating systems on the cruise ship was orchestrated by Canton. His original plan was for the cruise ship to run aground and sink due to the system failure, and then for a rescue ship that had been arranged in advance to come and rescue it. His goal was to defraud a huge insurance company with minimal casualties.
Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes; the Sago was attacked by a sea monster.
This was something Canton had not anticipated at all.
After understanding the whole story, Canton's image in Xia Linyin's mind plummeted. She had previously thought Canton was a gentleman and a warm-hearted person, but now it seemed that he was truly heartless and cruel, putting everyone on the cruise ship in danger in order to defraud a huge insurance payout.
So, who are Hanova and his men, who are heavily armed and fully equipped?
They were clearly not passengers on the cruise ship, but rather boarded later. Could the method of killing the sea monster be related to them?
Xia Linyin walked towards the curly-haired man. "Where's your boat?"
"Are you trying to use it to escape? It's right next to the cruise ship, with a huge hole in it, and the captain is dead." The curly-haired man looked sorrowful.
"However, if I find the tools, I might be able to fix it."
"Thud—"
"Thud—"
Something wet and sticky fell onto the curly-haired man's shoulder. He reached up and touched it, only to find his hand covered in slime.
He looked up and then cried out in terror, "Oh! Oh!"
