To his shame, he hadn't actually found the key on the mountain. He had a chance to obtain the [Mountain Key], but Jiang Ran beat him to it. Later, due to his injuries, he moved slowly on the mountain. By the time he reached the top floor room, Aransta had already taken the [Wind Key] and left.
The Key to the Forest is in Han Xiaodong's hands. Han Xiaodong is a VIP, and the mountain cannot do anything to him. With time running out, if Yangshan doesn't take the key away in a blatant manner, the mountain will have no choice but to risk hunting Alansta!
Yangshan collapsed to the ground in disbelief, his blood staining the floor. The wound he had been struck in was so badly mangled that there was absolutely no chance of survival.
Perhaps even he didn't expect that the mountain would be so decisive, shooting and killing people without even reaching an agreement. Perhaps he was just trying to prevent any unforeseen events from happening.
"You... idiot!"
Yang Shan closed his eyes helplessly, though he felt a little disdainful.
His current identity is that of a ghost storyteller! The mountain also shot and killed him, and in the end, he could only lose his qualification to pass the level. He can only possess again after 24 hours, which is not good news.
The fact that this key is now exposed to surveillance footage suggests that it was likely obtained by Jiang Ran or Han Xiaodong.
Yangshan's body finally lost consciousness completely.
However, nothing happened on the mountain. He simply picked up the key and put it in his waist bag. What was even more shocking was that the injury on his leg was completely healed after killing Yang Shan!
Is it possible that Yamagami's talent allows him to kill other ghost story writers without losing his qualification to clear the game, and even heal all the injuries he has suffered at the same time?
SSS-level, they are indeed not simple!
"Hmm, the fog has lifted?"
Looking up at the sky from the mountaintop, the surrounding mist had become very thin, but instead of sunlight, there were layers upon layers of boundless dark clouds, accompanied by the sound of lightning!
"Wait, what's that?!"
A massive whirlpool, resembling a black hole, was frantically devouring the surrounding seawater, and this whirlpool was right in their path!
I'm afraid it won't be long before the entire cruise ship is swallowed by the whirlpool, and all of them will perish at sea!
"There's probably not enough time, I have to hurry!"
On the mountain, waiting for the last key, they arrived at the captain's cabin, where everyone except Wips and his companion was already waiting!
Aransta [Key of the Wind]
Han Xiaodong [Lin Zhi Chi]
On the mountain, there is also the [Key of Fire].
Jiang Ran [The Key to the Mountain]
Jiang Ran was a little surprised by Yamashita's arrival. He originally thought that the last person to arrive would be Weips, but he didn't expect that guy to be outmaneuvered!
"The cherry blossom mountain is indeed quite something."
"Oh! You've brought me such a wonderful surprise!" Planck laughed heartily as he accepted the four keys. "This is truly unexpected!"
"From this moment forward, all four of you will simultaneously be granted the status of VIP guests and senior staff on this ship. Let us welcome immortality together!"
Aransta breathed a sigh of relief; at least this meant he could enter the Golden Hall without relying on anyone.
But the so-called reward is probably more than just status, since the other three are all VIPs, and the extra status is of no use to them.
"I once obtained the treasures of the ocean, and it will protect me on the path to immortality!"
As Planck said this, he took a safe out from under his desk!
After the safe was opened, Planck distributed four blue spheres to the four people.
"This is a sea-avoiding bead. Wearing it allows you to roam the ocean. However, please note that the sea-avoiding bead cannot be immersed in the sea for an hour continuously, otherwise it will lose its effectiveness."
From the initial rule that none of them should jump into the sea, to the later rule that they should not come into contact with seawater, everything proves that the ocean is harmful to ghost storytellers, but this also means that there are new clues!
The Sea-Avoiding Pearl is like a ticket; without it, everything ends here.
Jiang Ran's gaze sharpened as he noticed several empty syringes in the safe.
"Now, please return to your rooms and rest. Everyone here is on our side, so I won't hide anything from you." Planck smiled slightly, resting his chin on his hands. "We are about to reach the legendary realm of life; we will become the [Gods] of the ocean!"
Planck waved for the guests to leave, and everyone else left the captain's cabin together. Shan Shang also gave everyone a meaningful look before finally breaking away from the group and leaving.
"Then, Jiang Ran, see you tonight."
Han Xiaodong bid farewell very politely and also left. There was nothing to say about the others in Aransta, and he couldn't trust anyone.
"Brother Jiang, should we go back to the VIP lounge first or go straight to the Golden Hall?"
The sea fog has dissipated, meaning that everyone's perception of the appointment time has returned to normal, and all the clocks on the ship have been restored. There's no need to worry about missing the last minute, and naturally, there's no need to rush to the Golden Hall.
Jiang Ran was pondering his next move when he suddenly noticed a tentacle beckoning to him from the shadows.
“Silius… Come on, Brother Zhuge, it seems someone has invited us to play a grand game of chess.”
In the shadows, Sirius had been waiting for them for quite some time.
“Sylvie has met her fate, but it doesn’t matter, mine will soon be too.” Sirius turned and looked back. “We must never let the Abyss sail into the whirlpool, for the ocean will become an eternal prison to imprison us!”
“I’m ready to make my move, Mr. Jiang Ran!” An invisible flame was burning wildly in Sirius’s eyes. “Given your relationship with Planck, I need you to lure him onto the deck, because I can’t break into the captain’s cabin; that’s his territory.”
"At that time, all I need is for the little girl beside you to lend me a hand, along with what I obtained from the Siren's Treasure, and I will definitely be able to kill Planck!"
"My plan will never fail!"
"Mr. Jiang Ran, I'm begging you!"
Sirius gripped Jiang Ran's shoulders tightly, so tightly that it hurt a little.
Jiang Ran returned his smile: "Don't worry, just leave it to me."
"Yes, this should completely thwart that madman's plan!" Sirius nodded finally. "Let's act quickly, Mr. Jiang Ran."
Jiang Ran went to the captain's cabin again.
"Brother, what brings you back again? Is something the matter?"
"Brother, there is indeed something you will find out when you come up to the deck with me."
