The nightclub was still bustling, but I felt like I was in an ice cellar, my brain stopped thinking, Mary didn't know where to come from, I couldn't recover from the shock.

Mary's voice seemed to come from a distant direction and asked, "Mark, what's wrong with you?" Hey, Mark! ”

Seeing that I didn't answer, Mary pulled me out of the nightclub and came to the lookout deck outside the nightclub, where the cool sea breeze was blowing, the night sky was full of stars, and the scenery was like a beautiful picture.

I was dazed and said, "My sister is getting married." ”

Mary asked, "How do you know it's your sister?" ”

When Mary asked me this, I woke up with a glimmer of hope in my heart, and the onlookers knew why I was confused for a moment and was swayed by a name. Besides, no matter how wise Lake is, if he can calculate that I am still alive, then he must have led me to appear on this cruise ship, then it is very likely that this Alice is not Alice, the probability of the same name is very high, Frysler should be a key person, and he should investigate the identity of his fiancée, at this time I vaguely feel that I am gradually approaching a huge plan, but I still don't know what the plan is, I don't understand what the connection is.

I apologized to Mary and said, "I'm sorry, but I was confused, and it was my mistake to think she was my sister before I saw her face." ”

Mary held my left hand tightly and said, "Seeing your lost soul, people's hearts hurt. ”

I stretched out my right hand and stroked her chest jokingly, "My little princess's heart hurts, I'll rub it for you." ”

Mary stepped out to block my strange hand and said, "Don't make trouble, I'm going to perform on stage in a while, I will be yours when you come to my room tonight, you must come." ”

Seeing Mary's desire to refuse and welcome, my heart was full of tenderness and sweetness, and Mary said, "It's almost time for me to perform, and I'm in." After saying that, he smiled sweetly at me and walked in.

I found that I had less and less willpower to resist Mary, and that the attraction between men and women was purely natural, even if the psychological defenses I had built up because of loneliness disintegrated under Mary's gentle onslaught.

When I returned to the nightclub, it was dim, and there was a burst of applause inside, and I saw a torch in the center of the stage - a naked man dancing a round stick about one meter long, lit with fire at both ends, and dancing up and down was very beautiful and dazzling.

Looking for the baron who appeared on the stage just now in the crowd, he came to the front row close to the stage and swept his eyes and immediately found the target, the baron was still fair-skinned after his age, his black shiny hair was neatly behind his head, his eyebrows showed a joyful look, he had two thick mustaches like eyebrows under the bridge of his tall nose, he was wearing a black suit, and he was wearing a red bow tie that was very conspicuous, and he was talking to the host next to him.

There was no surprisingly beautiful woman in the baron's vicinity, so it seemed that the fiancée did not come to the nightclub to join in the fun, and I could find her to relieve my troubles.

Just as he was about to walk out, he heard the host come up to the stage again and announce: "Welcome Miss Marie, a beautiful school girl from Italy, to sing a song "Heartwarming Love". ”

I was stunned, why is Marie an Italian citizen?

At this time, Mary slowly came to the center of the stage wearing the aqua blue I put on for her, the lights turned and flickered, decorating the stage with colorful colors, Mary stood in the center of the stage and sang softly, "The flowing water of the Danube brings a trace of melancholy, and I am hesitant to meet you" The beautiful singing voice shocked the audience, and the audience quietly listened to this beautiful sound like heaven, and they were fascinated.

I thought to myself, "No wonder Mary has a very pleasant voice when she talks to me, she can sing." ”

I was desperate to know if the bride was really Alice, and I walked out of the nightclub without listening to Mary.

Looking at the pomp and grandeur of the baron, he generally does not live in a standard room on the fifth floor, and there is a high chance of living in a luxury suite on the sixth floor.

When I stepped out of the elevator and saw a food delivery person who belonged to the restaurant pushing a dining cart to take the elevator, I asked by the way, "Hello, how to get to the luxury suite?" ”

The man who delivered the food replied politely, "Sir, when you walk to the left from here and pass by the casino, turn right and walk past the cinema." ”

After thanking me, I walked to the luxury suite, walked past the movie theater, and when I walked forward, I saw a service desk only guarded by a well-dressed waitress with short hair.

Just as he was about to go inside, the waitress immediately stood up and stopped: "I'm sorry sir, it's a VIP area over there, you can't go in without a VIP card, if you want to go in, please show your VIP card." ”

I had no choice but to go up to her and explain, "I just want to go in and find someone, and since that is the case, I won't go in, so can you inform Baron Fleisler that I am in a hurry to find him." ”

The waitress replied truthfully, "Oh, Baron Fleisler is attending the anniversary celebration at the nightclub. ”

I pretended to be surprised and said, "I went to a nightclub, but the person wasn't there, and I thought he was back in his room, so I came here to find him." ”

The waitress said unsuspectingly: "Oh, it may be that I went to the restaurant with my fiancée, and her fiancée just went to a Brazilian restaurant to eat." ”

I rejoiced, "Thank you, I'll go to him." ”

The waitress said politely, "You're welcome." ”

Thanks to the suit that Mary chose for me, these waiters respected me, just by looking at the four gold buttons and fabrics on the cuffs, I knew that this suit was worth a lot, and I opened the sleeves with the English Zegna (Jenya) brand written on it, and I was in a good mood and took the elevator straight to the seventh floor.

This five-star cruise ship is equipped with a variety of restaurants, and this cruise ship includes France, Brazil, Mexico, Italy, India five different styles of restaurants, so that guests can have more choices in every inch of land and at the same time can taste pure exotic snacks, which can be described as thoughtful.

There is a Brazilian restaurant on this floor, which focuses on barbecue, and Brazilian barbecue is a world-famous snack.

There are not many people in the restaurant, and there are no legendary "beauties" in the restaurant, only four or five tables of guests chatting and drinking red wine and eating barbecue.

These restaurants of different types are all connected, and just as they were about to go around, a middle-aged black waiter wearing a small black bow tie greeted him and said, "Is the gentleman dining?" Waiter No. 019 is willing to serve you. ”

I waved my hand and denied, "I'm here to find someone, may I ask if Baron Fleisler is dining here?" ”

The waiter replied, "Baron Lesler is not here, but his fiancée is dining in the high-class members' room." ”

The waiter No. 019's answer hit my heart, and he pretended to hesitate a little and said, "Oh, in this case, I have something important to tell the baron, but the baron hasn't found it, and the baron's future wife is okay, can you take me to see it?" ”

Waiter 019 smiled and said, "I'm willing to serve you." ”

Waiter 019 walked through the vine-shaped arch that led to the private room area, and came to the door of private room No. 5.

The waiter No. 019 pushed open the door of the private room and saw that there were two restaurant ladies cleaning up the dishes, and the waiter No. 019 asked, "What about the future baroness?" ”

One of the young ladies inside, who was picking up cutlery, replied, "Oh, she just finished eating and went down from the VIP elevator." ”

I was surprised, "Why is there another elevator here?" ”

The 019 waiter explained: "This is to prevent distinguished guests and ordinary guests from squeezing the elevator together, so there is a special backup VIP elevator, of course, this elevator can only be passed after the VIP card is swiped on the device next to the elevator." ”

I felt sorry for it, I didn't expect so many settings on this cruise ship that I didn't know, if only there was a complete three-dimensional analysis map, after all, I didn't see this VIP elevator from the schematic diagram of the cruise ship, and at the same time I felt that I was being tricked by fate, and I always passed by the person named "Alice".

At this time, the 019 waiter said: "Sir, then you see that the person has left, you"

Looking at the meaning of his eyes, I thought that I also belonged to the VIP level, and I had my hands in my trouser pockets to hide the embarrassment of not knowing how to explain that I was not a VIP.

With a disappointed and helpless expression, I said, "Oh, the baron's fiancée is not here, I'll go find the baron, I heard your staff say that he seems to be in the nightclub." ”

The waiter No. 019 said, "Sir, go slowly." ”

Just as he was about to leave, two more men came from the corridor of the private room area, and the waiter No. 019 immediately greeted them, gave them another warm welcome, and invited them into a private room.

At this time, the corridor was quiet, and I secretly looked at the two people wearing brand-name suits, walking with great style, and walking out of it, so the VIP elevator entrance was in this private room area, thinking of this, I decided to try my luck, in case someone came up again, I might be able to mix in the sixth floor below.

Thinking of this, I walked in the direction where the two people came just now, walked to the right corner of the corridor, showing another corridor, there is an iron door opposite, it seems that it should be a warehouse, there are two sets of doors in the form of private rooms on the right, and a classical elevator on the left, the door is decorated with gold patterns, this pattern can only be seen in the royal castles of Europe, although to modern society, but this symbol of the noble gold edge pattern is still retained, The door panel of the elevator is carved with many patterns of birds and various flowers, and the embossed parts are outlined with white and gold edges, which shows that it must have taken a lot of money and time to make this door, and it will indeed make people with noble status have a sense of transcendence.

At this time, the elevator door parted open, and three people came out of it, and took a cursory look, among them, a ** in his 40s, with short blond hair, a cold and serious face, slightly white skin, a pair of thick eyebrows, a pair of golden eyes under a pair of thick eyebrows, a straight nose with medium thick lips, shoulders and back half a head higher than me, a set of black clothes, it is worth noting that the suit he wore was exactly the same as the one I wore from Anne's church, which is said to be the same as the one worn by the priest in the past. The only difference is that he has white crosses embroidered on the cuffs on both sides.

On the left, a young man of about 20 years old, also with short blond hair upside down, eyebrows not as thick as the middle-aged man, blue eyes also glowing with golden light, but not as golden as the middle-aged man's eyes, slightly shorter than the middle-aged man's height, slender body and long arms, wearing the same form as the middle-aged man's black clothes, but pure white, with cuffs open cross-shaped openings.

A black ** man on the right is about 30 years old wearing sunglasses, thicker and taller than the middle-aged man, and a large brand-name black suit is supported by his tall body, leading the other two to my side.

I walked to the elevator casually, without the attention of the three of them, when they turned the corner, the elevator was only less than 15 centimeters of gap, I quickly moved sideways, my right hand reached into the gap to prevent the elevator from closing, as soon as the two sides of the elevator touched my hand and separated again, I walked in smoothly.

There is no monitoring device inside the elevator, and the wallpaper with gold patterns is pasted around the elevator, which is indeed not an ordinary level of elevator, and the elevator also belongs to the secret passage of the cruise ship.

The clothes worn by the middle-aged man still came to mind, and I remembered that Anne had talked about the Holy Cross, and Lake said that Alice was taken away by the Holy Cross, and a line was connected, so the probability that the middle-aged man was a cross is very high, that is to say, the probability of Alice on this cruise ship is very large, and now I suddenly have a feeling that Alice is on this cruise ship, I am almost certain.

After thinking about the situation for 5 or 6 minutes, the elevator did not move when I pressed the button showing the sixth floor, but the door of the elevator was closed, and I remembered that the male waiter said that the elevator could not be started without a VIP card, could it only wait for others to open it outside, if someone else came up from the fifth floor, then I could only go to the fifth floor?

Besides, now that you meet someone who may be from the Holy Cross, then you should be able to meet Alice by following them, so do you have to determine the baron's fiancée?

After a struggle in my heart, it seems that I should make sure that it is okay, if I can find a way to escape with Alice, if not, then there is someone else, so as not to feel uneasy.

After all, there are not many people who belong to the VIP level, of course, there are very few people who use this elevator, I squatted down and wanted to take a break for a while, and found that there was a slightly protruding cylinder exposed outside the pattern wallpaper below the control floor device, with a diameter of about 15 cm, about 35 cm from the ground, covered with a plastic cover with a wallpaper pattern, and I couldn't see anything special if I didn't pay attention to it, just because I squatted down and this cover was flush, The pattern of the cover seems to be out of place with the surrounding wallpaper.

At the same time, the right hand unscrewed the lid in my heart, which was printed with a sign of the Liuling Star, embedded in the center of the logo with a bright red hexagonal gem, when I was curious to touch the gem with my fingers, the abnormal protrusion, the gem from red to black emitted countless silver Liuling Star light shrouded in the interior of the elevator, the electric light on the top of the elevator flickered on and off, and I don't know whether it was my body shaking or the whole elevator was shaking, and my ears seemed to skip countless piercing screams and hoarse laughter, and I was shaken left and right in the elevator.

The gradual shaking stopped, and I fell to the ground, the lights in the elevator flickered, and in an instant there was darkness

In the darkness I felt the darkness expanding infinitely, and I felt it spreading and expanding as if I could connect with the dark touch, and a force carried me upward.

Actually, I'm still in the elevator, but I can't think about this strange thing with normal logic. After experiencing the curse of death, and after my body is not afraid of injury, I still have a certain ability to bear this kind of thing.

After rising a certain height, the lights on the top of the elevator returned to brightness, and everything seemed to be the same, but the place on the display floor of the elevator was impressively written on the ninth floor!

The highest level of the entire cruise ship is only eight floors, how can it be the ninth floor? What's outside the ninth floor?
