Led by the blue-clad crew member, Jiang Ran arrived at the VIP lounge inside the cruise ship. To enter, one had to go through a secret passage. If it weren't for the crew member's guidance, he probably wouldn't have been able to find this place in a while!
"Dear esteemed guest, you and your contractual accomplice may enter the VIP room, but this gentleman may not, as he is not our VIP. The VIP room is for VIPs only."
"I'm a VIP, so why can't the person who came with me go in? What if I, as a VIP, ask you to let him in?"
"Dear guest, please don't play word games with me. These are the cruise ship's rules, and I cannot violate them."
The blue-clad crew member bowed deeply, but Jiang Ran had no doubt that if Zhuge Shensuan really went inside, he would take action immediately!
"Brother Jiang, this is my first time participating in an S-class supernatural world after all." Zhuge Shensuan grinned and laughed. "Just consider it a training experience. Don't worry, with my talent, I'm not that easy to die."
"That's all we can do now. I'll go to the VIP room to look for clues first. Whether I find anything or not, we'll meet up on the deck later."
"Um."
The VIP rooms are extremely spacious, each measuring 200 square meters, and the decor is luxurious gold. However, it doesn't resemble a high-end residence; rather, it looks more like the room of a nouveau riche.
"Could you please go to the restaurant and get me some lunch?"
"Of course, esteemed guest."
After the blue-clad crew member left, only Jiang Ran and Gwen remained in the VIP room.
The VIP room was filled with five large freezers of food, but since the rules mentioned avoiding eating outside the restaurant, Jiang Ran did not intend to touch the food.
The VIP lounge's screens are connected to most of the cruise ship's surveillance cameras, so theoretically every VIP can observe the actions of other ghost storytellers from their lounge!
However, apart from the surveillance and food, Jiang Ran has not found anything different about the VIP room compared to the other rooms.
"Gwen, listen to me, we must be extremely careful in this dungeon!"
"Shouldn't we be extra careful with every instance of a dungeon? Why bring this up specifically?"
“It’s not me.” Jiang Ran poked Gwen’s little head. “You’re the one who needs to be careful.”
"Huh?" Gwen pouted, somewhat unconvinced. "How could anyone else possibly beat me? I'm safer than you, no matter what!"
"That's not necessarily true. Have you forgotten something?" Jiang Ran shook his head. "That's the talent of a ghost storyteller. Some of their abilities can directly kill strange creatures!"
“The last dungeon was a solo dungeon, so I didn’t specifically remind you, but this time is different!” Jiang Ran solemnly warned Gwen, “You’re with me, and I happen to have a bit too many enemies, so you’re in great danger, understand?”
Take Aransta, for example. Jiang Ran watched his live stream replay after the last Strange Tales World ended and discovered that he had the ability to manipulate flames to kill strange creatures. This was just the first one; who knows how many more people with this talent are lurking in the shadows!
"I see..."
Gwen felt a chill run down her spine. Only after Jiang Ran said that did she realize that she was in danger!
Jiang Ran would never give up on Gwen. If someone were willing to trade their talent for Gwen, it would be a huge loss for Jiang Ran, and he would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen!
"Even if we stay here, there's no guarantee that someone else might get a VIP card and break in. But if we go out, the danger is obviously much greater."
There is no perfect way to ensure Gwen's safety, and the others are not to be trifled with either; they will always find an opportunity to take advantage of any weakness.
Jiang Ran can only do her best within the scope of what she can do!
"Phew, let's not think about that for now. Let's check the surveillance footage to see what the others are doing. Look how pale you are."
"Hey! I'm a doll, right? My skin is naturally white!"
The blue-clad crew member arrived at the restaurant as Jiang Ran had instructed. He hadn't tried to avoid anyone along the way, which attracted the attention of many ghost storytellers. Everyone was looking for the blue-clad crew member, so his appearance naturally drew everyone's attention.
"Sir, perhaps we can talk!"
"Sir crew member, do you know how to become a VIP guest?"
The blue-clad crew member treated these ghost storytellers as if they were invisible, and if anyone tried to block his way, he simply kicked them aside!
"This guy isn't listening to a word we're saying!"
"Follow him and see what he's up to!"
The four ghost story tellers had been following the blue-clad crew member. After seeing him get the food, he headed towards a more secluded part of the cruise ship, and they couldn't help but think that there was definitely something more to it!
"There's actually a secret passage here!"
"Following along was definitely the right thing to do!"
As the group watched the blue-clad crew member enter one of the rooms, which was decorated in a very luxurious manner even at the entrance, they became even more convinced that this was an important place, and they sneakily tried to follow him in!
"Oh no! These idiots! That's Jiang Ran's room. They're not VIPs. If they go in, they'll be dealt with!"
The observers from three of the countries had no choice but to waste one of their warning opportunities to warn the others not to go in, while the observer from the last country was hoping for the best. He thought that since the four of them were acting together, if one of the other three reminded him, he wouldn't have to waste a warning opportunity.
The three men's expressions changed after receiving the notification, but when they saw that the leader's hand was already on the doorknob, they immediately realized that he had not received the notification.
They all took a step back, showing no intention of telling him the news!
"not good!"
By the time the observer from that country realized what was happening and tried to warn him, the man had already stepped halfway into the room.
"Jiang Ran from the Dragon Kingdom?"
He watched as Jiang Ran sat on the leather sofa with her legs crossed, and even greeted him.
Hello, hello, goodbye!
"How dare you trespass into the VIP room! Die!"
The blue-clad crew member swung his fist and decapitated him, splattering blood onto the floor!
The other three swallowed hard, relieved that their observer was alright, otherwise they would be the ones splitting up now!
"Jiang Ran from Longguo...why is he allowed to sit inside?"
If it were some kind of NPC inside, the three of them wouldn't have felt such a huge psychological gap. But now, looking at Jiang Ran sitting leisurely inside, and then at themselves who were almost scared to death, the three of them truly understood what the difference between people meant.
"What else can we do? Let's go. Staying here any longer might lead to the same end."
