Chapter 111 Because the long night always comes to an end
"Xin Que?!"
A man's voice came from above.
Slowly opening her eyes, her blurry vision gradually focused, revealing Luo Huayi's anxious face.
“You’re finally awake,” he said with a sigh of relief. “The explosion on the cruise ship was absolutely horrific…”
Xin Que slowly sat up. Beneath her was the soft sand, and above her was the bright moonlight. The cold seawater of the night gently pushed against Xin Que's legs.
"How are you?" Luo Huayi asked with concern. "Are your injuries serious? I'll take you to..."
Xin Que grabbed Luo Huayi by the collar, her hands gripping his neck like iron clamps, and pressed him firmly into the shallow seawater.
"Before you try to fool me with fake goods next time... remember to check your own persona first." Xin Que's face was expressionless, and her voice was calm and collected.
Soon, the man's struggles gradually weakened.
The corpse transformed into a mass of data, which rapidly flowed into the sea.
Only Luo Huayi's clothes remained, washed back to the beach by the waves.
With nothing beneath her, Xin Que adjusted her posture as she fell to avoid having her breathing disrupted by the surging seawater.
Controlling herself, she slowly swam to the surface, her eyes dazzled by the rosy dawn that seemed to pierce the sky.
Slowly removing her hand from her eyes, she looked out at the scenery around her as the waves rose and fell.
In the vast and boundless sea, several familiar faces floated.
Further away, you can see the wreckage of the Victoria slowly sinking.
"Hey!!!" The roar of the helicopter drew closer, and a man in a foreign police uniform and sunglasses popped out, shouting at Xin Que, "We're rescue workers!!! How are you and your companions?!"
The sound of yachts cutting through the waves and heading this way grew closer and closer.
Xin Que glanced at the magnificent, dazzling sunrise on the horizon and slowly smiled, "Not bad?"
...
Cheng Zheng changed his clothes, with an IV drip in his hand, and leaned against the headboard of the hospital bed, looking exhausted. "It's finally over."
Xin Que, wearing a work jacket, leaned against the windowsill and looked at Cheng Zheng, her expression unusually gentle. "Thank you for your hard work."
"If it weren't for your cooperation with Ji Mingchuan, I wouldn't have been able to get the cruise ship sorted out so smoothly this time..."
Luo Huayi, who was lying on the hospital bed next to him, stirred.
Cheng Zheng and Xin Que exchanged a glance and tacitly ended the current topic.
Luo Huayi had a splitting headache.
It was probably hypothermia caused by being immersed in seawater for too long. When Luo Huayi opened her eyes, she felt her heart was about to explode and her hands and feet were shaking uncontrollably.
Xin Que glanced at the central air conditioning controller beside her and turned it up a few degrees.
Slowly opening her eyes, Luo Huayi only saw Xin Que's back as she left the ward.
"Mr. Luo?" Cheng Zheng leaned closer. "How are you? I'll call the medical staff over right away to examine you again."
Luo Huayi finally recovered considerably after the direct and effective insulation measures ended.
"Where's Xin Que?" He pinched the bridge of his nose and asked in a hoarse voice, "Where are we now..."
“The plan is going smoothly,” Cheng Zheng replied. “Miss Xin and Mr. Ji are both recuperating in the next ward, and we have all successfully left the cruise ship.”
"Now...we're back in China."
Luo Huayi then realized that all the medical staff coming and going were Chinese.
Were they forcibly transported back to the city after the cruise ship incident ended?
Only after he had fully regained his mobility did he get out of bed and walk to the next ward.
As soon as the door opened, Xin Que was discussing the final plans for the cruise ship with Ji Mingchuan, who was lying in the hospital bed.
After listening to a few words, Luo Huayi's lips twitched.
Xin Que still feels that the plan to bomb the cruise ship was not perfect, and is still reviewing the plan to see what loopholes were overlooked.
“There are only four of us,” Luo Huayi said, sitting down in the companion chair, her brow twitching. “How perfect do you expect a plan to deal with a whole ship full of cult members, thugs, and crew?”
Xin Que frowned, "If we had broken into the armory and obtained the submachine guns earlier, the situation would have been more stable..."
"You didn't go into Jin Doucai's armory. It's full of everything except rocket launchers, rifles, and flintlock muskets..."
"Stop!!!" Luo Huayi almost jumped, fearing that Xin Que would be reported. "This isn't international waters, a place without firearms controls!"
Xin Que "..."
Cheng Zheng frowned, seemingly lost in thought. After a long while, he looked at the three people in the ward and asked, "Don't you guys feel...?"
The long corridor outside the window seemed to have been suddenly emptied out, with no patients or medical staff in sight.
There were only overhead lights, one after another, extending into the distance.
Luo Huayi: "???"
He suddenly looked at Xin Que, who was leaning against the wall contemplating life, and then at Ji Mingchuan, who lay on the hospital bed with a blank expression.
Cheng Zheng once again revealed a very intelligent expression, "President Luo...it seems we..."
I'm stuck in a maze again.
Ji Mingchuan didn't understand what they meant by "ghost wall," but he knew that the eerie phenomenon of the ward being emptied was extremely dangerous.
"Let's go!" Ji Mingchuan stood up and was about to drag Xin Que outside.
Xin Que "..."
Why is there another person in this story space?
Stepping out of the ward, Ji Mingchuan stared at Cheng Zheng and Luo Huayi inside again, then froze in place.
Not a code?
Is this a literal interpretation of being lost in a maze?!
The four people sat quietly in the hospital room and began to contemplate life.
"Why were we dragged into the story space in the hospital room..." Luo Huayi was truly at a loss this time. He had left his phone in his hospital room and hadn't brought it with him. Xin Que and the others' phones had also had their signals cut off by the story.
We have absolutely no clues.
"Xin Que," Luo Huayi looked at the woman who was deep in thought beside him, "Do you have any clues?"
Xin Que "..."
“Let me think,” she recalled the rough outline of the plot in her mind, “something related to the plot…”
Xin Que suddenly widened her eyes, her gaze towards Luo Huayi filled with complex emotions.
Luo Huayi: "???"
Xin Que recalled the proposal she had made when she and Cheng Zheng were trapped in Luo Huayi's villa.
“Luo Huayi,” she said, her face full of helplessness, “we may have to stay with you during your postpartum period.”
Luo Huayi: "???????"
Cheng Zheng was clearly also recalling that nightmarish memory. He suddenly looked at Luo Huayi, "You..."
"You're not... going to have a miscarriage here, are you???"
Ji Mingchuan was so shocked by the group's outrageous words that his eyes almost popped out of his head.
"What's going on?!" Ji Mingchuan subconsciously took a few steps towards Xin Que. "He's not a man? Or is he both a man and a woman?"
"Wait!!!" Cheng Zheng didn't have time to pay attention to Ji Mingchuan's shock. He rushed over and grabbed Xin Que's arm. "You started this, so you have to take responsibility for President Luo!"
Xin Que dodged Cheng Zheng's hand like an eel, looking disgusted. "How was I supposed to know that the original plan would have a follow-up?"
Ji Mingchuan stared at Xin Que, then at Luo Huayi, who was completely dumbfounded. His CPU was running at overclocked speed and was about to burn out.
