Ru Ru stood in front of everyone's gaze, swallowing a mouthful of saliva a little uncomfortably.

"I ...... I choose the big adventure. ”

Qiu Xuan: "? ”

"No, we're in a group." Thinking that Ru Ru was too nervous to accidentally say the wrong thing, she blinked and tried to hint at her in her own way. "Even if you can't blatantly release water, that's ......"

"I know!" For the first time since she knew her, Ru Ru rejected her with a firm and loud voice. After the words blurted out, she herself seemed to be a little surprised, glanced at Qiu Xuan with a little guilt, and pursed her lips apologetically. "I'm sorry...... But, you—don't ask, okay? ”

Qiu Xuan shrugged, never intending to ask about other people's privacy in the first place.

"Okay, then...... You go to the third room of the lounge on the first floor, find a man who looks explosive and beautiful, and ask for a bottle of nutrient solution. ”

"Yes! Be sure to complete the mission! Ru Ru tensed her little face and straightened her chest, just like some soldier who seriously obeyed orders, pushed open the door and ran out with an indomitable determination. Qiu Xuan sighed, a little inexplicably palpitating, but after thinking about it, it was Bai Hexi, and there shouldn't be any big mistakes after Ru Ru said her intentions...... bar.

Once again, the atmosphere in the conference room fell into an eerie silence. This round of endless card drawing games seems to never come to an end, the water stains on his body have almost dried, Qiu Xuan's ten fingers folded into a tower and stared at the table silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

An hour later, the door was opened.

Ru Ru walked in as usual, except that her face looked much worse than before she first went out, and there was nothing unusual about the rest. With a white face, she placed a bottle of strangely colored potions on the table and sat down without saying a word.

Wrong.

Qiu Xuan frowned, and as soon as he straightened up, he heard the home sailor say: "Congratulations to the players for successfully completing the task, and all the players and their teams in this round will add 612 points." ”

612 points?

The eyes of the people in the room who looked at Ru Ru began to become strange, and everyone probably figured out some rules through this round of card drawing. The number of points added in each round depends on the difficulty of completing the task, like Qiu Xuan's survival in Gary's violent state, so adding 320 points is already a high score, and this time because she was afraid of the same group of players + newcomers, so she specially gave Ru Ru a fairly easy task, but she didn't expect to add 612 points this time.

The rules can't go wrong, Ru Ru can't simply ask Bai Hexi for a bottle of nutritional medicine.

After repeatedly confirming that Ruru did not have any physical trauma, even Hephaestus, who knew a little about healing powers, waved his hand to indicate that everything was normal. She sank her face, thinking that after this battle was over, she would go to Bai Hexi to ask for clarification.

The home sailor poked the card straight under the tip of her nose, and Qiu Xuan raised her hand with her eyelashes and pulled out a blood-red King of Hearts.

"It's a shame, isn't it. A king is only a king after all, and no matter how he is, he can't compare to the great ghost who represents the sun. ”

"What about you, what are you to be the home of this mission?"

Qiu Xuan put the King of Hearts upside down on the table, and just looked at the unpretentious sailor from the bottom up. The latter smiled sarcastically, not knowing who the smile was aimed at.

"Who knows, maybe I wasn't in this game from the beginning."

Saying this, he ignored it and walked straight to the next person, Qiu Xuan pursed his lips and looked back at the cards that were casually held on the table by Qin Jiuyuan.

It's a little ghost.

…… At this time, it was Brother Yan who was standing with a proud face when he won the big ghost card, and when he saw the man sitting in the corner also standing up, Brother Yan sneered and said: "In this way, I don't think we have to waste time on the truth, anyway, in the end, it will turn into a big adventure anyway." Refreshingly, you make a request directly, just ask, heh. ”

Qin Jiuyuan lowered his eyelids and looked at him indifferently, as if he was looking at a piece of flesh that had no vitality. "You put the wine back in its original place." He pointed to the messy rum on the table and said.

"That's it?" Brother Yan narrowed his eyes and glanced at him, "I'm still waiting for you to deliberately make things difficult, it seems that you can't come up with any good suggestions, heh...... Gary, just that fat drunkard, can't I beat him? ”

Qiu Xuan, who had already seen the true face of a certain "fat drunkard", secretly rolled her eyes on the side.

Brother Yan swaggered out, and he didn't come back until half an hour or an hour later.

"Are you hungry?" This score task really lasted too long, and coupled with the few times he had fluttered in the waves before, Qiu Xuan lay on the table weakly, raised his hand and tugged at Qin Jiuyuan's sleeve.

The man didn't speak, and as soon as he stretched out his long arm, he directly picked up the bottle of nutrient solution brought back by Ru Ru on the table, unscrewed the cap and put it under his nose and sniffed it, looking up and wanting to take a sip.

"Forget it." Qiu Xuan snatched the nutrient solution, made sure that there was no reaction to the danger induction, poured a sip, and then wiped the cap of the bottle and handed it back. "Drink, it's fine."

Qin Jiuyuan glared at her outstretched hand and did not speak.

"Okay, I'll drink it if I'm sure, don't bother with the chicken feather monster."

"May I ask what level of 'certainty' this fearless lady has? Is half-dead also within your 'certainty' range? ”

"Not — not this time."

"Humph!"

Just as everyone was already drowsy, the home sailor suddenly stood up and announced the end of the Truth or Dare event. Before the people could wake up from the afterglow of their sleepiness, they saw a ghostly smile slowly appear on the face of the honest sailor, which did not match his simple appearance at all.

"Everyone had a great time...... I'm so happy! It's a pity, it's a pity, I'm not a king, I'm not a clown, I'm nothing, I'm not a ......"

The sailor's broad shoulders drooped, and his voice slowly became muffled.

"Solitaire, hearts, hearts, kings, clowns, suns...... Yes, what does this have to do with me, and what does it have to do with it, this is not my life in the first place...... I have to go, the deck hasn't been wiped yet. ”

"The deck hasn't been wiped yet, the deck hasn't been wiped yet......"

Unable to stop muttering the repetitive neurotic words, the sailor picked up the sweat towel that had fallen on the back of his chair, and walked out as plain and unpretentious as he had entered. The executioners who remained in the conference room reacted after a moment of silence, and Sister Yan was the first to stand up and make a defensive gesture, saying "Leave it at that, everyone." ”

"There's no need for this, it's not good for everyone to attack now." Jiao Guancheng snorted, took the lead in pulling out the chair and strode out. After him, Ruiyi also walked out with a cold face, followed by Hephaestus, Huang Sheng, Zhao Yigui and Lao Liang, who did not forget to flatter Qin Jiuyuan when he was leaving.

"Evey, let's go too." Sister Yan beckoned to the corner.

Qiu Xuan laughed, and the man who was lying on the chair with a pale face and went to pick Luo Luo's head flower with his chin nodded. "Let's take care of your injured player. Besides, you're just a small group for the time being, and you're not bound for life, so you don't need to bother so much. ”

"Then you don't need to worry about it." Sister Yan glared at her.

After a stalemate like this, seeing that the man sitting steadily on the chair was almost like being glued to it without moving, the woman with a high ponytail finally pouted indignantly, turned around neatly and walked out.

In the end, only Qin Qiu and Brother Yan's followers were left in the room. The attendants glanced at each other, and one of them, a small man who was still familiar, mustered up the courage and walked in the direction of the corner.

"So, that, do you know where Brother Yan went?"

"Then why do you think the sailor suddenly announced the end of the mission?" Qiu Xuan stood up, stretched his muscles, and asked lightly.

The little man's white lips stiffened for a few seconds, muttering to himself as if he was constantly making psychological cues to deceive himself. "No, it can't be, we've seen Gary before, just an ordinary sailor. To put it bluntly, he is still an ordinary person, Brother Yan should be easy to deal with him, yes, it's easy to ......"

I really didn't expect him to have such deep feelings for Brother Yan, Qiu Xuan glanced at the man meaninglessly, but still opened his mouth to break his last self-deceptive comfort.

"Then why do you think that if you go to such an 'ordinary person's cellar and steal a few bottles of wine, that sailor will count me as a 320 points?"

Saying this, she didn't look at the reactions of a few more people, and walked out of the conference room with her feet raised.

The commotion Gary had completely dissipated, leaving only a faint salty smell of seawater in the air, but a few cracked rum bottles scattered around the conference room.

Qiu Xuan crouched down and looked at the fragments to smell the undispersed aroma of wine, and was sure that it was indeed the wine she had touched from Gary's wine cellar.

"Leave it alone, be careful." Qin Jiuyuan, who was following her, sighed as if he was extremely uneasy, and kicked the broken glass piece away with his toes. "Can you stop doing high-risk maneuvers all the time?"

"I look at broken glass is a high-risk action?" She raised her eyebrows in disbelief, as if she had gone back to the time before she had been chosen to be the executioner, when she had been at home debating with her mother whether or not to wear autumn pants. "Then when I used to fight people with a knife, didn't I have serious suicidal tendencies?"

"You know that, too."

"Don't be like my mother, Mr. Qin."

"Who am I for? I ......" said subconsciously, but Qin Jiuyuan was suddenly stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand how he could easily worry so much about a person he had only known for less than a month. He paused and wrinkled his eyebrows to look at the girl in front of him, "You gave me a trick?" ”

Qiu Xuan: "Heh, you also have today." ”

Qin Jiuyuan: "? I'll tell you if you know who I am, you dare to curse me, hurry up and give me an explanation. ”

Qiu Xuan raised his hand and tapped his shoulder twice in an extremely perfunctory manner, and said, "I understand." ”

“…… You lied to me. ”

"yes."

"I'm not kidding, if you really put some curse on me...... Qiu Xuan! ”

He suddenly paused and shouted out to her, not by a fake-sounding pseudonym like Aphrodite, but by her name, the only time she had ever said it in the Proving Grounds.

"Are you obedient or not, I'm really not kidding, because I'm ...... If you have a personal physique, the curse you have engraved will come back to you. ”

"I know you're yelling so loudly, what if everyone else hears my name?" Qiu Xuan looked back at him helplessly, and replied seriously: "I won't carve a curse on you, never, so ......"

"Why don't you reflect on where your old mother's attributes come from, Yuan, brother?"

Qin Jiuyuan: "...... I didn't. ”

"Okay."

The two of them spun down the escalator and walked aimlessly in the cabin. No one said where they were going or asked to go back to their own homes, they walked side by side, as if they were born to be like this, and it was also like ushering in the long-lost abyss home.

"That's ...... That Brother Rock? ”

Qiu Xuan frowned and leaned out a little to look under the guardrail, where a figure with twisted limbs was lying there, blood still oozing out from underneath. Judging from this, he must have fallen straight down the corridor of the upper floor before falling to his death.

Fell to death, she used the word. Just looking at her from this angle, she could be sure that most of Brother Yan's bones were shattered, and the white swaying mixed with red brains flowed with blood, completely staining the deck.

And the honest sailor who had been at home just dragged the deck without saying a word, wrinkling his face impatiently at the sight of the red, white and white mixture, as if dragging some large piece of garbage to drag Brother Yan's body to the edge and want to throw it into the sea.

In addition to the bloodstains, the corpse glided on the deck leaving a few wet trails, which looked like it had been soaked in water for a long time.

"Did you know that Gary is capable of more than just an ordinary madman?"

Lying on the guardrail to witness the completion of the journey, she turned her head to look at Qin Jiuyuan, the man also had the same indifferent face as usual, and said, "I don't know, I just guessed based on your score." …… Do you think I'm doing something wrong? ”

"Not really, it's just that it's really an extremely unfavorable situation if people continue to die until now."

Qin Jiuyuan was silent for a while, and then suddenly spoke: "Don't worry, you won't be in the bottom fifty." ”

"Oh, why?"

"I said no, no."

"Okay, okay," Qiu Xuan grinned, "then I'll borrow your auspicious words." By the way, we ......."

At the moment when the danger sense sounded, Qin Jiuyuan grabbed her shoulders and jumped out of the area where she had been standing for a second. A few familiar strands of liquid metal suddenly poked out from the ground, sharp edges flashing an unpleasant cold light in the sunlight.

Ruru said before that this is the special metal of their world.

Zhao, Yi, Gui.
