Chapter 185: Lucky A and Lucky E
At the entrance of the small personal wine cellar, Qiu Xuan stood in front of the wooden door with a rustic jade pendant on her neck. This level of wooden door is really nothing for the rest of them, but it is a bit difficult to break through without knowing if there is anyone inside.
Thinking about it, she raised her hand and knocked symbolically on the door.
I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, but there is no one answering inside, and it looks like there is no one after listening to the movement for a while.
Looking at the high-sounding lock on the doorknob, Qiu Xuan simply took the knife and destroyed the entire lock structure. Cautiously pushing the door open, as soon as she entered, a strong smell of decaying wine and musty wood filled her entire nostrils.
Then she was silent, staring at the rum room, which looked small but filled with several three-person tall cabinets.
Sooner or later, this Gary became alcoholic.
She scolded secretly, and even took Zhao Yigui to make a note in her heart, and she still helplessly began to scavenge the wine bottles, bottle by bottle, and put them into the pocket of the space funded by Jiao Guancheng's friendship.
She's like some kind of dock unloader, or any overtime worker on an assembly line. It took more than ten minutes of hard work to reach half of the progress, and then what was even more desperate was that after sweeping through a row of rum bottles, Qiu Xuan saw a drunken face behind the row of shelves.
…… It's Gary.
She silently put the row of bottles back in her hand to cover his face, and went around to the end of the cabinet and began to sweep again.
"Hmm...... Who? Who's there?! ”
Qiu Xuan was silent for a second, and sped up the action of filling the wine in his hand.
"Orsay? Is that you? I knew it was you, you bastard, did you steal my wine again?! ”
The sound of clattering items began to be heard after the row of cabinets, but because Gary himself didn't know how he managed to squeeze himself into the narrow gap, the cabinets were knocked several times, and the people inside couldn't get out for the time being.
Hurry, hurry, hurry.
At the end of the sweep, Qiu Xuan almost didn't care if the wine bottle would be broken. With a sweep of her arm, Gary made a noise and swept a row of rum into the bag, the bottles colliding and making a nice hit.
"Wait Olympiad, you're not, no, no...... Are you—Are you Arco? ”
The movement behind the cabinet stopped abruptly, and then Gary's voice, which was clearly audible drunk, hesitated as he asked. Qiu Xuan raised her eyebrows and said unashamedly: "That's right." ”
"Arco, Arco...... You—Are you willing to come to me? You've forgiven me, haven't you? Arcole! ”
Qiu Xuan (pretending to be wine): "That's right. ”
"Great...... No, no, you know, Arco, that Orsay didn't sell you to pirates on purpose. I didn't mean to quarrel with you, either! I'm not, Arke, I didn't mean to! ”
Qiu Xuan: "That's right. ”
"Then since you are willing to come to me, you still love me, right, we can still go back to the past, right?!"
"I didn't ...... Of course it can't be, stupid. ”
Qiu Xuan sighed, roughly estimated the distance from the door, turned around and went back to take down the row of wine bottles that blocked Gary's view and put them in his bag.
"You also know in your heart that you will never go back, it is so, that's all."
She said this, and when she saw the fat face that was flushed and stunned, she turned sharply and rushed towards the door. ran all the way to the downstairs floor of the cabin conference room, and just when she thought it was okay and the mission was completed smoothly, the tentacles of danger sensing were erected high for the first time!
The blade of the child and mother was instantly unsheathed, and in a crisp metal clash, the face that was swollen and twisted from hangover appeared behind the steel pipe that had been stopped.
Gary was holding a steel pipe in his hand that seemed to have been removed from a corner casually, but the pressure of the blades clashing against each other made Qiu Xuan's face completely solemn. The red-faced drunkard shook off the steel pipe in his hand with red eyes, and as soon as his broad palms closed, the churning waves below swept towards Qiu Xuan standing on the stairs.
What's the matter, this drunkard is also an elemental mage? Or is it ...... This was supposed to be Arke's unique ability as a siren?
Qiu Xuan scolded secretly, simply put away the knife to protect the bag in his arms, turned around and jumped on the handrail of the stairs and began to climb directly.
“!”
The wave of a thousand forces suddenly appeared in front of her, and in the wall of water that could directly submerge the small broken boat in diameter and height, Qiu Xuan's uncovered skin was almost bursting under such pressure. She held on to the handrail of the staircase with one hand to support her weight, and her eyes were so hard to open them from the pressure of the waves.
Captain, come out and leave this drunkard alone! Under the cold and high-intensity impact of the seawater, all Qiu Xuan could do at this time was to hold on to the handrail to keep herself from being completely swept into the wild waves. She roared silently in her heart, what the hell was the captain thinking that this madman was going to sink the little broken ship...... Wait, wait.
Groping for the wooden handle in his hand, which was still unmoving, Qiu Xuan completely obeyed the instructions of the danger sense to avoid Gary's stuffy stick, and opened his eyes with gritted teeth.
With a stinging pain in her eyes, she barely flapped up a few times in the turbulent water, and finally got a glimpse of it.
In the waves of the sea, which seemed to contain great power to destroy the world, the wooden inner chamber of the cabin obviously looked vulnerable, but at the moment it did not move under the violent impact, except for some dampness.
- It's as if they were "protected" and couldn't be damaged at all. It is also possible that Gary, like them, is subject to some kind of "rule", and even no matter what, he cannot cause significant damage to the ship.
Either way, there's some good news.
Qiu Xuan raised her face to the surface with her hands, took a deep breath and held it in her mouth, and then dived down sharply along the direction of the staircase handrail.
Gary, who had been haunted like a maggot on a tarsal bone and fired a cold gun behind him, hurriedly chased after him, and he looked like another abstract-looking male siren in the wild waves, returning to the ocean, as if returning to his true homeland.
Hold the knife in your left hand and pull out the machine gun from the space with your right hand. Qiu Xuan endured the pain in her eyes and put a gun behind her to force Gary's route back, while moving slightly awkwardly in the direction of the outer wall of the cabin.
There is less and less oxygen to breathe in his mouth, and I don't know if the machine gun is also ineffective in the water, or if Gary is simply at home with the siren buff. She could feel herself being caught up quickly, and now she was just trying to dodge with her hazard-sensing instincts.
You can't fight at all in the water.
The pain of suffocation spread through her body in a few breaths, and Qiu Xuan almost saw the holy light on that ugly reddened face—although her face was no better than Gary at the moment due to lack of oxygen—and in a moment, she mobilized the last of her muscle memory to dodge the steel pipe that Gary swung, and finally found a point of focus on her toes, and kicked the steel pipe, sending herself out of the inner cabin.
The moment her head left the sea, she almost greedily breathed in the salty air between her noses, and at the same time forced her muscles to grab the handrail and climb up without stopping for a moment.
The roaring wave engulfed her in the blink of an eye, and Qiu Xuan almost rolled into the corridor on the first floor of the conference room, kicking open the door of the conference room before her vision was submerged by the waves again.
- As she expected, their grounds were "protected", and Gary's abilities couldn't get in at all.
At this moment, Qiu Xuan was like a water ghost, or a water monkey that had drowned and came to ask for her life, or something else, and she walked in with a room of executioners or surprised or amuseful eyes, leaving a wet footprint on the dry floor with every step.
Throwing the bag of rum on the table, just by listening to the bang, you knew that the bottle must have died heroically in the previous chaos, but it didn't matter now. She sat down, ignoring the fact that she was still dripping water, and raised her chin slightly arrogantly to look in the direction of the home sailor, or Zhao Yigui.
The sailor looked down for a moment at the tattered sack, which was also oozing water on the table.
"Congratulations to the players for successfully completing the mission, and the team will add 320 points each."
"Not bad." "Yes, well done Afu." "It's okay, this wave is beautiful."
After a short silence, the team members led by Jiao Guancheng did not hesitate to give encouragement. Zhao Yigui also smiled indistinctly in the crowd, only Ru Ru was alone, with joy and worry on her face at the same time, and she sat up straight and couldn't help but look at Qiu Xuan, who didn't look very good.
The latter replied with a reassuring expression, and raised an eyebrow as he took the white robe handed by someone on the side.
"Yes, it's good."
Qin Jiuyuan sat up straight and looked ahead as if he didn't care at all, and after hearing it, he just said very calmly: "It's just extra clothes." ”
"Yes, yes, extra clothes." Qiu Xuan wrapped herself in a robe three times inside and three times outside, and finally felt a little bit of the temperature outside the cold seawater. "This kind gentleman in the old man's vest is so grateful for your 'extra clothes'."
“…… What an old man vest, this is a combat uniform. ”
"That's right, it's a combat suit."
“……”
"The next round of card draws." The honest sailor stretched the card straight under Qiu Xuan's nose, interrupting the discussion about clothing for the time being. Qiu Xuan stretched out his fingers, which were soaked in seawater, and pulled out one at random.
…… The clown's smile on the card seemed to give her a punch in broad daylight.
One in twenty probability.
Qiu Xuan fell on the table, a little unsure of what debuff she had been applied.
And for more feng shui turns, then Sister Yan smiled sarcastically and showed the little ghost card in her hand to the long table.
Qiu Xuan: I'm sorry now, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
"Hurry up and choose, little sister, aren't you very good, then you shouldn't be afraid of this little game." The woman with the high ponytail urged like a knife, her delicate face full of schadenfreude for watching the show.
“…… Truth or say. Qiu Xuan leaned on the table and said.
"Oh? Then I'll have to think about it. Sister Yan also sat down again, with her feet crossed and she looked like she was not in a hurry to play slowly. In the end, it was only after being reminded by the home sailor that he said leisurely: "What are all the abilities you obtained in your last proving ground?" ”
Although she knew that Sister Yan would not let go of this opportunity easily, even if she was mentally prepared, everyone couldn't help but distort their faces for a moment after hearing this question. Ruiyi's example has been well demonstrated to everyone before, and for a executioner like them, the most taboo thing is to inquire about the problem of ability props.
Qiu Xuan was stunned for a moment, but after reacting, she smiled inexplicably.
They don't know what she went through, but she herself doesn't know. In that third-person testing ground called "Focus", she had no abilities worth talking about other than a rustic jade pendant and exchanging ragdolls with the tooth fairy. In fact, in that proving ground, it was more important for her to truly learn how to "see" than these so-called personal abilities.
Qiu Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said with great openness: "I have gained the ability to see ghosts. ”
"Huh? What are you talking about? Sister Yan frowned and looked at her with a ridiculous face, "If you don't want to say it, just choose the big adventure, who do you want to fool when you say that such an ability is, you ask which person here can't see the ghost?" It's funny, if you can't see it, won't you die by the time you pass the ghost-related proving ground? ”
Sainer: "If you answer correctly, 102 points will be added to the player and team in this round." ”
Sister Yan/Others: "What did you say?!" ”
But since the "rules" have determined that she is telling the truth, no matter how incredible it is, everyone can only hide this question in their hearts. Until the next round of card drawing began, Sister Yan still looked at the direction of Qiu Xuan in the corner uncertainly, and finally didn't understand what kind of strange person she was in the other party's indifference.
Because of the rules, the sailors were reluctant to tell them what the game was over. So the crowd had to repeat the process of repeating the wheel of card drafting, changing from truth or dare to big adventure, and waiting for the return of the person who won the big adventure.
During this period, some people won the mission with their own strength, and some people simply gave up for the sake of their lives when they learned about the adventure mission. After going around and around several times like this, seeing that Qin Jiuyuan had once again drawn an ordinary number card - he had not drawn a big ghost or a small ghost since the beginning - Qiu Xuan hit the card in his hand with the little ghost in his hand and said, "To be honest, Brother Yuan, did you buy it?" ”
"I don't understand what you're saying." The man muttered and pushed her cards away, seemingly impatiently, before reaching back for her to look back at the person standing up to show off the big ghost card.
