Chapter 180: Gods 1
The middle-aged man Wang Zhongliang was taken by the woman to a room on the second floor. He looked at the layout of the room with fear in his eyes, and turned to look at the woman who was standing at the door and did not come in.
"Guest, the rooms are clean, you can rest assured to stay here. If you need anything, you can find me in the restaurant on the first floor."
Wang Zhongliang nodded stiffly: "I understand."
The woman gave him a kind smile. "Well, there's nothing else to do. I won't bother you anymore, sir. I wish you a pleasant journey."
Wang Zhongliang was a little slow to react until the woman left. He was not sure whether this was a kidnapping case. How could a bad guy be so nice?
Not only did they treat him with respect, they also arranged a room for him to stay.
There was no time to think so much, so Wang Zhongliang planned to first explore the layout of the room to avoid any accidents. If he couldn't escape, at least he would know where to hide.
The whole room is not very big. There is a matching table and chairs next to the single bed, and a wardrobe on the right near the door.
There was no window in the room, but there was a round transparent glass directly above the bed, but it was very high and could not be reached without a ladder.
Wang Zhongliang quickly looked through the entire room. There was no place to hide. Under the bed or in the closet were places a normal person could think of.
As for the corridor... He walked lightly towards the door and put his ear to it to listen to the noise outside.
“Help…Ahhhhhh!! There’s a ghost!! Help!!!”
The girl's shrill scream came straight into his ears through the door.
Wang Zhongliang took a few steps back in fright and swallowed. Then there was the sound of knocking on the door, which seemed to come from the end of the corridor. No one responded to the girl outside.
When he heard the knock on the door again, he was already next door. There was no peephole on the door of Wang Zhongliang's room, so he couldn't see what was going on outside.
The next second, it was finally his room's door that was knocked. Cold sweat broke out on Wang Zhongliang's forehead, and fear spread to every part of his body.
"Please... Is there anyone here?! Please open the door and let me in!!"
The voice outside the door was particularly familiar. Wang Zhongliang was naturally sensitive to sounds. He almost immediately recognized that the person calling for help was the short-haired girl who was captured with him.
Wang Zhongliang hesitated for two seconds, but still chose to open the door. The girl, with tears on her cheeks, rushed into the room in panic, and then closed the door behind her.
She squatted in the corner by the door, her body trembling, her face pale.
Wang Zhongliang listened at the door for a while, and after confirming that there was no movement, he leaned over and asked the girl in a low voice, "Why are you here? What happened?"
The girl, Zeng Huihui, who was in a state of extreme fear, shrank subconsciously. After recognizing who was in front of her, she burst into tears and spoke incoherently.
“There’s a ghost… We wanted to get off the boat… but we encountered… a ghost there… Woo woo woo… I don’t want to stay here, I want to get off the boat…”
Wang Zhongliang sighed. Seeing that she looked frightened and insane, he remembered that he had seen a kettle in the room just now, so he went to pour her a glass of water.
"Drink some water first and calm down. There's no danger here. Talk slowly, there's no need to rush."
Zeng Huihui drank three glasses of water before she calmed down a little.
She glanced around her surroundings, made sure it was safe, and then told Wang Zhongliang everything that had just happened.
Wang Zhongliang frowned even more as he listened, and asked her, "So, this isn't a criminal gang's base, but rather a place filled with ghosts?"
"Yes."
Wang Zhongliang could hardly believe it. How could this be possible? How could there be... No! The end of the world is coming, monsters appear, ghosts are real.
Because they were in a panic, they all forgot this point, so it is reasonable to say that this tanker is most likely the ghost's base.
Zeng Huihui said with a pale face: "They should both be dead..."
In that situation, an ordinary person would not be able to survive. If she had not reacted quickly and ran away, she might have died there. But the situation was not good now.
Although both of them are still alive, they may be close to death.
Wang Zhongliang's brain raced as he came up with an idea: "Let's hide in the room first. Given the current situation, we can only take things one step at a time."
Judging from the fact that Zeng Huihui encountered a ghost but was able to escape, the ghosts on the cruise ship should not attack people for no reason, otherwise they would have chased her directly.
They had been in the room for at least an hour, but no ghost appeared, not even the strange sounds that Zeng Huihui described.
So the room should be safe for the time being, but whether it will be safe later on, we have to find a way to solve the problem of getting off the ship. Now the cruise ship is sailing on the sea.
After getting off the ship, if you want to escape, you need a small boat. Most cruise ships have lifeboats, so the first step may be to find a lifeboat.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhongliang glanced at Zeng Huihui, who had not yet fully recovered from her shock. They were both ordinary people, and there was no possibility of survival if they encountered a ghost.
You have to find a lifeboat within the limited safe time, and then take the opportunity to escape. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope. There are Taoist priests on land to deal with ghosts, and you will be safe on land.
Wang Zhongliang made up his mind and said, "We need to rest and recover our strength first, and then find a way to escape."
Zeng Huihui nodded: "I'll listen to you."
She is just a weak woman and can only rely on Wang Zhongliang for the time being. She hopes that he will not abandon her, otherwise how can she survive alone?
There was only a single bed in the room. Wang Zhongliang took a pillow and slept on the floor, giving the bed to Zeng Huihui. Because of the difference in gender, the single bed could not accommodate two people.
Zeng Huihui hid in the quilt, her violently beating heart completely calmed down, and her mind became clear. She was not sleepy, and did not want to be a burden and be left behind, so she began to think about the route to get off the boat.
When she escaped earlier, she went from the first floor to the second floor and roughly figured out some routes.
When she got on the boat, the woman said there was only one room left on the second floor, but no one answered her when she knocked on the door. Maybe they were afraid to open the door, or maybe there was no one living inside.
Zeng Huihui bit her lip. What should she do...
…
…
When Yu Qing woke up, it was already dark outside. He could hear the sound of waves crashing on the sea. There were not as many people on the deck as during the day.
Occasionally, a few couples would come to the deck to take photos and be affectionate.
I looked at my watch. It was 6:30 in the afternoon, and it was time for dinner at the restaurants on the first and third floors.
The food on the third floor is fresher and more expensive than that on the first floor.
It just so happened that she was living on the third floor, and eating there didn't cost money, so she chose to eat at the restaurant on the third floor.
