Walk along the aft deck to the middle cabin, where the road is quiet, only the whining of the sea breeze.

There is a row of deck chairs under the central porch, which should be used to watch the scenery and fish during the day, and there are holes for inserting fishing rods. The door was at the end of that row of deck chairs, closed tightly. At this time, the starlight on the sea was dim, and he groped up and down the wooden door to find a heavy oval doorknob. Maybe it wasn't oiled much, but it was twisted vigorously before the door slowly opened inward. However, the grinding sound of the door shaft was loud and piercing. Xu Changqing's heart tightened, worried that the people in the cabin should hear it. I waited for a while, but there was no movement.

He carefully pushed the door just enough for himself to pass through, flashed in sideways, and moved forward against the wall.

Even on the upper deck of a luxury cruise ship, the cabin passage is not wide, barely enough for two people to pass through each other. The walls were lit with dim explosion-proof lights, and the narrow doors were one after the other. This is probably the guest room. It's quiet inside, no one.

Where have all the people gone?

Unknowable malice seems to be watching in the dark. He urged himself to quicken his pace.

Walk through the guest room passage and through the recreation room with a pool table to the foredeck. In the center is an open-air swimming pool, which is still empty. There was a line of wet footprints on the wooden floor next to it. The shape is small and beautiful, and it should be a woman. The footprints disappeared at the end of the wooden floor, and they did not know what to do.

Walking through the shadow of the parasol, he quietly ascended the escalator to the bow of the ship.

In any ship, the bow is always the most important place. The wheelhouse, telegraph room, internal communications room, and often the captain's private room were concentrated here. Controlling the bow of a ship is like controlling the head of a big monster. When it can't hear or see, and can't do anything about roaring, it's easy to slaughter.

The bow of the ship is a typical three-story building. Below is the communication equipment room, and there will be no one unless it is repaired. In the middle section is the captain's quarters, with stairs leading to the upper level. Xu Changqing stepped on the escalator like a cat, and suddenly saw the door of the captain's room empty. He hesitated, pushed the door open, and slipped silently into the room.

If the passage of the cabin just now was dim, then the captain's room was a black hole with no fingers visible. Waiting, Xu Changqing waited patiently, giving his eyes enough time to adjust. Slowly, he could see some outlines. He took a deep breath and felt the walls of the room, creeping his way forward.

The captain's cabin was large and quite luxurious, and the walls were decorated with carved metal. He walked past the deserted reception room, fingers brushing over the rough surface of the stone fireplace. Slowly walk through the darkness along the wall with the finest steps. It seemed like a long walk, and suddenly the wall came to an end. There was a faint light ahead, and cold air from the air conditioner blew across his cheeks.

There were people in the room.

The voice came from the adjoining bedroom. The grinding sound of slippers grinding on the ground, the sound of conversation being very low. The dim light dimly reflected two figures. Their shadows staggered and swayed on the bedroom wall. He heard their voices, a man and a woman.

“…… Alcatel showed his hand today," the woman said in a pure Lentinion West End accent, "and the fire-type spells are pretty good in terms of speed and destructive power. I envy the gift of God he has received......"

"What will he do when he gets back to Lentinion?" The man's voice is a nasal southern accent.

"Only God knows," the woman replied. The shadow on the wall spat out a wisp of smoke and floated up in the blurred light, "Those fools always compare him to Geralt, lest the conflict between them is not deep enough. And that's not the worst. To make matters worse, neither of them is an easy guy to get rid of. I dare to predict that whether we like it or not, the accumulated contradictions between the white wolf and the golden lion will soon explode, and in the end it will be a never-ending situation. ”

"Too fast, too fast," the Southern voice complained, "It's not a good thing that the Knights of the Round Table are split now. Gotta find a way to drag it out. The glory of history—"

"The Twelve Knights of the Round Table in history? It's just a bunch of brutes who can play with swords," the woman sneered, "If God hadn't given him the crystals that contained His supreme power, the white wolf and the golden lion?" Snort, it's just two brutes. ”

"In any case, the Royal Anglican Order cannot afford to fight among themselves now. Fuso, Miguo, Huaxia, and organizations focused on collecting the gifts of the gods have already taken action. It's not a good thing to waste your energy on internal strife at a time like this. Infighting must be stopped—"

"It is better to stop the infighting than to stop the earth from turning. Do you think the two of us have that much power? ”

The man laughed and said, "I think we have a lot of ability, as long as we work together, we will definitely not lose to the Twelve Knights of the Round Table." ”

Xu Changqing leaned against the wall and slowly walked forward step by step, without making a sound. The two men in the room gradually appeared in his field of vision, and he held his breath.

"Seriously, what's next for us?" The lying woman asked. She was a tall man, with a face of heavy makeup under her long, dense blonde hair.

"As long as the queen doesn't know the truth. If it weren't for Lord Stamnis's diligent search for the truth, why should we worry. If Grand Prosecutor Carlo can die because of this, what about another Grand Prosecutor? The man with a thick accent in the south of the United States replied, "Emily, isn't this what you're best at?" ”

The man is fat and bloated, maybe he once had a moment of being vigorous, but it has quietly passed with the years. He has a very striking scar on his back, which stretches from his left shoulder to his right lower back. must have experienced the edge of life and death and survived by luck.

"It's not a month ago, and Carona is a waste, and it's not as good as the Grand Prosecutor today." The blonde woman shook her head as she spoke, as if she didn't agree with the man's idea.

Through the shadow of the light, Xu Changqing silently approached the door, as quiet as flowing water. Men and women patronized and talked, not seeing that the crisis behind them was getting closer and closer.

"Maybe you're right," the man replied, his voice tinged with post-exercise exhaustion, "but in any case, it's a race against time." England has decayed. It needs a revolution, it needs to be reborn. However, we are not ready. ”

Outside the window, there was an elongated whine, and it was the people in the upper wheelhouse who whistled. It's loud. Through several layers of wall panels, I can still hear clearly.

"If you don't speed up, I'm afraid it'll be too late." The blonde woman said, "The contradictions are intensifying every day. The Queen's displeasure with Prince Vhris was known to almost even the beggars in the sewers of Lentinion. Both the White Wolf and the Golden Lion are gathering strength. Lentinion is like a volcano about to erupt, forcibly blocked by a large rock. To be honest, even if Stannis dies, it is estimated that it will not last long. Sooner or later, things will get out of hand - who? ”

At the sound of the whistle, her voice suddenly became high-pitched and sharp, and her warm tone changed, as cold as a sharp blade.

In the dim light, Xu Changqing appeared at the door. Left knee half-kneeling, standard kneeling position according to the gun. The cold muzzle of the M14 rifle had locked the small bedroom.
