Jiang Lai didn't expect that he would get this chip not indirectly from his nominal subordinate Malbec, nor as a meeting gift from Akai Shuichi, but directly handed to him by Kurosawa Akira.

Jiang Lai: It's a pity that they fought with each other... and the things were no longer with them hhh

Light a candle.jpg

So the ones you raise at home are the most reliable!

"Well done!" Jiang Lai put away the chip, smiled and hugged the silver-haired boy, rubbing him like a cat, and then let go and asked curiously, "What's in the words?"

Kurosawa Akira came out of Jiang Lai's arms, his hair slightly messy: "Really, Jiang Lai brother... you almost knocked my wolf ear hair ornament off." He pouted and continued Jiang Lai's words, "I'm not sure for now, I can read the data when I go back."

"Huh? I thought Xiao Zhao knew. After all, you risked your life to get it."

"It's not dangerous - and I guess you want it." Kurosawa Akira blinked his gray eyes, "So I brought it to you."

"Whether you really need it or not, I'll give it to you first."

"Ah... I suddenly feel like Xiao Zhao is the older brother." Jiang Lai poked the other's face, as if he was poking some soft dough, and said with a smile, "I should be the one pampering you."

"Teacher said that feelings are mutual, no matter who is older or younger." Kurosawa Akira dodged slightly to the side, "... Stop poking my face, Brother Jiang Lai."

"Okay, okay." Jiang Lai smiled and took his hand back, but his expression was still a little reluctant. He said with emotion, "Children's faces are so soft. It's so comfortable."

Kurosawa Akira: “…”

"However, your teacher is very good at teaching, and Xiao Zhao is also very serious in his studies." Jiang Lai's warm brown eyes curved, "——Xiao Zhao is really a very good child."

The silver-haired boy coughed and turned his face away, obviously not used to this direct ball.

"Hey, okay, our parent-child interaction has come to an end." Jiang Lai said half-jokingly, then his face became more serious, "Now we have to go out."

The sound of the broadcast could not be heard among the debris underground, and Jiang Lai had no idea what had just happened with the sudden shaking outside and the slight tilt of the hull.

Jiang Lai bent down and picked up Conan, who was still sleeping, and prepared to take him and Kurosawa Akira away from here. When he turned around, he heard a sound coming from the stairs, and he was tense for a moment.

Then he caught a glimpse of a group of people in work uniforms - the security guards who were late for the murder.

Jiang Lai: ...Sure enough, in comics or dramas, the police are often the last to arrive!

The strong smell of medicated oil at the scene made the first security officer who stepped in stunned for a moment. Jiang Lai quickly explained that the bottle of insect repellent he brought from his hometown was broken.

After a brief explanation, the unconscious Conan was handed over to Mao Lilan, and the small black box left by the withered yellow-haired man was handed over. The security guards looked serious, as they had not expected that this guy would kidnap children in addition to the murders at the beginning.

He is a very dangerous person!

However, they sent a lot of people just now, but they didn't find the guy on the boat. Moreover, many people at the makeup party were dressed up exaggeratedly to cover their faces, making it difficult to find him in the crowd.

Jiang Lai asked what happened to the ship just now, and the security personnel replied that there was no big problem, just a small disturbance to repair the engine room failure.

Jiang Lai: This wave... feels quite significant.

Is everything really okay? In this case, the ship should ask for help!

It's not that they are betting on fixing the fault just for the sake of the makeup party. Jiang Lai was silent for a moment. He opened his mouth and wanted to ask if the navigation fault had been reported to the relevant agencies for rescue. However, before he could finish his words, the ship shook violently again!

"!!"

The ship tilted more and more, and with the bumps, everyone in the corridor screamed and slid to one side. Jiang Lai tightly grasped Kurosawa Akira's hand, his face calmed down.

The staff in the corridor was still shouting on the loudspeaker: "Don't be nervous! It's just a simple bump during the repair process, don't worry about it!"

—— Are you kidding me? Do you still want to say don’t mind such a lie? ?

If this continues, the ship will really capsize!!

Before Jiang Lai boarded the cruise ship for the first time, he specially learned about cruise ship knowledge and later asked questions to relevant personnel. He knew that it would be very difficult to recover from this degree of side tilt!

I'm afraid the problem isn't just in the engine room!

And the next more likely possibility is a shipwreck!

"If you really don't need to worry, just stay away from the place where the life jacket is hanging." Jiang Lai took two steps forward and grabbed the other person, and his gentle voice was rarely lowered. "Tell your chief to send a distress signal and organize everyone to evacuate!"

The staff member who was caught was stunned for a moment, then he straightened his face and explained hesitantly: "Sir, you are too nervous, it's really just a normal phenomenon..."

"You know better than me that this ship might capsize!" Jiang Lai's brown eyes sank as he stared at the other person, "...human life is precious. The happiness and future of others are not to be gambled with!"

"..." The staff member was panting, his back was sweating, his fingers curled and opened, but he was unable to refute the other party.

Yes... Actually, he also felt that the ship was really going to sink, otherwise he wouldn't have talked to the life jacket hanging in the corridor. But the control room still asked them to calm everyone down and tell them that nothing had happened.

"It's okay. I understand you. It's hard for a subordinate to say something to your boss to refute or question him." Jiang Lai softened his tone and raised his eyes. "So give me the intercom and I'll talk to your boss."

Jiang Lai called the captain's room via the intercom and said only a few crisp words.

First, they were told again in a definitive and professional tone that the ship was definitely going to sink, to the point where even if the fault was repaired, it would be irreparable.

Jiang Lai could guess that the people in the control room at this moment were probably treating this matter with a bit of luck and gambler mentality, so he had to use a stern and firm tone to pull them out of the fantasy world they had woven!

He believed that the captain, who had sailed many times, was definitely more experienced than himself, so he only needed to remind him again to wake him up from the vicious circle and make him realize the seriousness of the incident!

Second, he calmly informed us that he had started recording video and audio since the first bump, and uploaded them to the network backup, which would be sent out at any time. If the ship really sank, then the incident would definitely be held accountable to those in charge of the command!

Because this was not a pure accident, it was a semi-murder where the danger was known but no report was made and no rescue was organized!

Jiang Lai threatened in this way in order to add fuel to the fire in the end, lest some people in the main control room really have some evasive thoughts like they will not die anyway and the accident can be classified as an accident, and relax their mind on organizing the evacuation and continue to gamble with their fate.

The other side finally gave up the idea of ​​continuing to fix the loophole and sailing, and instead organized everyone to evacuate the dangerous cruise ship as soon as possible.

The radio broadcast an emergency evacuation notice at this time, informing everyone to follow the instructions to the emergency assembly point. The person in charge will distribute survival equipment to everyone, evacuate the hull, and board the emergency life raft.

Only then did Jiang Lai let out a half breath.

After hearing the announcement on the radio and feeling the ship tilting, everyone's instinct was to panic for survival, but fortunately they still followed the instructions of the crew on the ship and did not run around.

Jiang Lai held Kurosawa Akira's hand and evacuated with the crowd. When they were about to run to the deck, the ship suddenly shook violently again, causing everyone on the ship to fall to the ground!

Now they could clearly feel the boat's tilt, and it began to sink faster and faster!

Oops! Jiang Lai's heart lit up with a big exclamation mark. In this situation, people will be more nervous and panicked than before!

As expected, the people who got up rushed to the emergency assembly point. Jiang Lai protected Kurosawa Akira and dodged to the side to avoid a stampede. He waited until the crowd had almost left before pulling Kurosawa Akira and evacuating quickly.

The visibility was not clear in the dark, but the headlights were on at the emergency assembly point, and from a distance I could see someone there putting on a life jacket and trying to jump into the sea, but was stopped by the staff - because jumping from such a height is still very dangerous!

When Jiang Lai walked onto the deck, the ship happened to shake violently again. There were no handrails around, so he only had time to protect Kurosawa Akira in his arms, and then he was thrown against the wall on the other side!

Wow it hurts!!

The spine hits the hard iron plate, and the pain is transmitted from the back to the cerebral cortex. This time it is not fake, but real!

That patch of skin must be purple...!

"Brother Jiang Lai!" Kurosawa Akira held Jiang Lai's hand a little tighter and could feel the nervousness of the silver-haired boy.

Jiang Lai let out a breath, holding back the cry of pain that had just come out of his consciousness, and smiled and soothed: "I'm fine, don't worry." He stood up with the help of the wall.

Jiang Lai raised his head and saw a man next to him who was also thrown over by the unexpected wave of the hull. The man's dry blond hair looked very familiar. The man raised his eyes and also saw him and Kurosawa Akira.

Jiang Lai: “…” Why are these guys still haunting us?

Malbec and Akai Shuichi, are you two capable? ! You failed even when you were fighting two against one!

The hidden BOSS Jiang Lai couldn't help but have the weird idea of ​​deducting wages (Jiang Lai: But, actually I haven't paid any wages at all! They all take the money from the current BOSS 233).

But the truth is probably that this guy is too good at running away, and Malbec and Akai Shuichi don't want to make too much noise. Jiang Lai thought rationally in his heart, and he looked at the other party with vigilance.

The man with dry blond hair had already put on a life jacket. He looked up and saw the silver-haired boy. His eyes lit up and he reached out to grab him!

"!" Jiang Lai's eyes turned cold, and his index finger was on the verge of exploding!

However, before Jiang Lai could counterattack, a sharp knife brushed against the dry yellow-haired man's fingertips and hit the iron plate behind him with a clang!

This forcibly stopped the dry yellow-haired man from reaching out his hand, and he turned his head suddenly to look!

Jiang Lai's eyes also turned quickly -

I saw a figure standing not far away, with long smooth black hair floating in the evening breeze, and dark green eyes like a wolf king in the jungle, carrying a strong sense of oppression.

It's Shuichi Akai.
