Within three seconds of his words falling, there was a knock on the door to the break room.

Jiao Guancheng and Lao Liang glanced at each other, the former patted the folds on the hem of his clothes and got up to open the door, laughing twice when he saw the familiar face outside the door. "Yo, who else should I be, come in and sit, are you alone?"

Qiu Xuan stood alone outside the door and said hello, and when she heard this, she didn't say much, so she followed Jiao Guancheng into the rest room of others. As soon as she entered the door, she was so smoked by the bloody breath that lingered in the air that her face wrinkled, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Zhao Yigui sitting on the sofa with her bloody chest and abdomen open, smiling happily at her.

"Yo, is this really hurt?" She was surprised as if she had just found out, and as she sat down on the sofa opposite Ruiyi, the cold-faced girl rolled her eyes at her, got up and moved a chair again.

"Minor injuries, cough cough, it's not in the way." Saying that, Zhao Yigui coughed again, and it was not impossible for Huang Sheng, who was holding a needle and thread, to do it. In the end, the final stitches were hurriedly completed, and the gauze thrown by Jiao Guancheng was wrapped layer by layer around the wound.

They didn't speak, and Qiu Xuan also seemed to watch Huang Sheng stitch up his wound for him with great interest, and Huang Sheng, who had a steady hand, was a little uncomfortable. The chubby fingers tied a knot on it unusually flexibly, as if thinking about something before he couldn't bear to look at Qiu Xuan without saying anything.

"So you have time to come over now?" Zhao Yigui's eyes were full of smiles, and he watched her speak. Qiu Xuan smirked and folded her left leg on top of her right before she spoke, "I heard that you just did a score task, and it seems that you were injured because of this?" ”

"You misunderstood!" Huang Sheng packed up the medical equipment in his hand, and hurriedly explained when he heard the words, "They accidentally triggered the task, but at that time, Xiao Zhao and I were in the infirmary, and it was for you...... Ahem, in short, although the score was shared, we didn't participate in the task. ”

"Oh, in that case, it's none of your business, take him back to rest." Qiu Xuan waved at Huang Sheng and Zhao Yigui.

"Oh no, but ......"

"Feed him some recovery potions, and then you can go back to rest." Lao Liang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, and when he heard the voice, Zhao Yigui looked at the ground not far away and raised his eyebrows meaninglessly, but finally stood up from the sofa neatly. "Then I won't bother you...... Afu, be careful not to get hurt again in the future. ”

As he said this, he walked into the inner room with Huang Sheng on his feet.

Lao Liang didn't look over there again, his eagle-like eyes stared straight at Qiu Xuan. "What do you want to ask?"

"Then let's just get straight to the point," Qiu Xuan's expression was indifferent, "What do you know about the scurvy on the ship?" ”

"Now that everyone is not in the same team, and there is no premise for benefit sharing, why should I tell you?"

"Even if you're all veterans, it's only a matter of time before the disease spreads to you, and in some ways everyone is the same."

"But we can all live to the end and then die."

"Aren't they all still dead, it makes sense?"

"Aph," said Hephaestus again, and the pigtailed man jumped down the steps on the other side, and fell straight in front of her and crouched down to meet her eye level. "Have you forgotten what I said earlier? In the face of absolute interests, everyone can be Zhao Yigui. ”

Qiu Xuan's pupils constricted for a while, and she felt a bone-piercing chill on the side of her neck in the sudden sound of danger. At some point, Ryan whispered behind her with a scimitar in hand, the sharp blade curving around her entire neck. Hephaestus grinned twice, leaned forward and snatched a button-like object from her hand behind her back.

"I'll just say how could you come alone," he said, playing with the black button with his fingertips, and there seemed to be some disdain in his words with sarcasm. "Where are your people hiding? I guess it's just around the corner outside the door, so guess if I'm pressing the button now and waiting for them to arrive, or if Rye's knife is fast? ”

"There's no reason for you to kill me."

"Why not?" Lao Liang took over the handle coldly. "If a person with outstanding talent can't become teammates, it's better to kill them completely to prevent future troubles."

Jiao Guancheng rolled up his sleeves and did not speak.

"Okay, then there's one last thing before you kill me." Qiu Xuan lowered her eyelashes and looked at the blood stains on the blade that could not be washed away, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know who the 'thing mixed into the boat' is?" ”

"What did you say!" "How do you know?"

"Since the disease was not transmitted by you, then it must have been commissioned by the captain as well, otherwise you wouldn't have bothered to do anything to a executioner who had just come aboard." "I also accepted the captain's personal assignment and found some clues that are now extinct. If you're going to complete this mission, you'll need my leads. ”

Hearing this, Jiao Guancheng and Lao Liang glanced at each other.

"There are still many ways to get people to tell the truth," Lao Liang said, "Besides, you are now in danger of falling into our hands, as long as we all bite and don't let go, there is really nothing to be done on this ship now." ”

They do have the capital, but alas, it won't be anymore soon.

"I'm dying." Qiu Xuan indifferently raised his eyes to look at Lao Liang who rushed to the front. "Now that the contagion is starting to spread, there are only a few people on the ship who are going through the fourth trial ground, and it will be my turn soon. When the time comes, let alone ask for clues, it will be difficult for me to speak clearly. ”

Lao Liang clenched his fists and narrowed his eyes.

"Let's just talk about your conditions and plans," Jiao Guancheng suddenly shook his head and chuckled inexplicably, "Don't you dare to come to our lounge alone, because you already have your own ideas." ”

"I can work with you to exchange clues and find out the 'stuff that came to the boat' together, and I don't even want to give it all to you when it comes to the final score, but I have one condition."

……

"Hey." Qiu Xuan moved his side neck, which was a little stiff by the cold, and as soon as he stepped out of the door, he heard someone calling him behind him.

Hephaestus leaned against the door with his arms crossed and smiled suddenly. "You must be wondering why all the people in our group, except for Zhao Yigui and them, have all received the captain's personal mission?"

Qiu Xuan frowned.

"They themselves are wondering about this question, but after seeing you today, I suddenly understood."

"Why?" She paused, temporarily removing her finger from the real keys in the space.

"Aphrodite, which means 'born out of the foam of the sea', is the patron goddess of sea, the goddess of love and beauty." Hephaestus looked at her with pursed lips, and began to speak inexplicably about mythological allusions, just as Qiu Xuan had seen him for the first time when he first arrived on the deck. "So, you were 'born' on a ship, and you were destined to be born on a ship."

"And so are the people of us, as you should have noticed, not all executioners get on board with the madmen through the harbor. Some people, like you, like me, like them, were on the ship as soon as we came to this proving ground. ”

"Such a person happens to be the one who has been chosen by the captain to issue a personal mission."

Yes, Lao Liang and the others don't know, but Hephaestus knows it very well. It's just that the first person Qiu Xuan saw when he came to this trial ground was him, and at that time, he only thought that he was a famous performance master, so he couldn't hide it.

It's just that why didn't Hephaestus tell Lao Liang and them, and he wanted to sneak out and tell her this?

As if to see her doubts, Hephaestus laughed to himself, and with a pinch of his fingers, he smashed the fake button that he had snatched from Qiu Xuan's hand into powder. "Since you already have the real thing in your hand, I'll dispose of this thing for you. That's right,"

With the last step back to the lounge, the man turned his head and shook his high-tied pigtails twice. "Your cannon barrel is very good, but it's a pity that it's a semi-finished product, and if you need to use it one day to find me in a desperate situation, I'll give you a symbolic discount."

Qiu Xuan watched in silence as he closed the door, and for a moment, the figure in a black robe on the desperate stall seemed to coincide with it.

She sighed suddenly, and walked around the corner by the door.

A dart tied to a red spike suddenly grazed her façade, Qiu Xuan blinked and then was pulled away from the attack range by a force, Bai Hexi saw that she was also a little surprised to withdraw her weapon, and the woman with glasses on the side said, "Why did you come out by yourself?" Why didn't you touch the button you gave it? ”

"It's not necessary anymore." Qiu Xuan held Qin Jiuyuan's arm and stood firm, and said, "I have negotiated with them, they didn't make the infectious disease thing, and they haven't found a solution yet, but if you want to suppress the disease, just eat more fruits." So now we are trying to find a way to get some vitamin C for Liu Qing, and they will eat and hold on for a while, and then think of a way to deal with infectious diseases. ”

"That's good, we have to wait for the solution to come out." The woman and the other executioner breathed a sigh of relief, but Bai Hexi kept a thoughtful face. Then, when everyone raised their feet and walked back, they grabbed Qiu Xuan.

He deliberately fell a few positions away from the crowd, turned to Qiu Xuan and said, "What did you talk about before, those old fritters will never let you go and tell you the solution so easily." ”

"It's nothing, it's just that we have reached a consensus on another matter for the time being, so we just maintain a short-term relationship."

Hearing this, Bai Hexi's expression was still a little unpleasant. "I warned you not to get too close to those people, especially the ......"

"I suddenly discovered," Qiu Xuan interrupted him suddenly, swept up and down the still shockingly beautiful face, and raised an eyebrow. "It seems that your personality has been a little wrong lately."

Bai Hexi had an expression that you were really full: "I'm not right?" What is my personality? ”

"It's the kind of glamorous big sister who is paranoid and sick, and yin and yang?" Qiu Xuan said stubbornly despite Bai Hexi's sight that he was about to kill. "But I don't know when you seem to be getting closer and closer to the direction of Jiangbei Crane, you know, it's the feeling of a chatty old mother."

"Do you want to separate heads now?" Bai Hexi looked at her expressionlessly, "I don't know which one is so uneasy, but now it's a rake?" ”

"I'm serious, a Jiangbei crane is an abyss...... Ahem, it's enough, please don't rush to be my mother one by one. ”

"Phew, it's shameless."

"Hee-hee-hee."

"By the way, the team leader, the fruits in the restaurant have already been taken out, and we don't have any inventory there, do you want to go to the medical room to get some pills first?" The woman with glasses took the lead in walking in the front, and the position near the first floor suddenly remembered something and turned her head to Bai Hexi and said.

Qiu Xuan glanced at her and said, "We have been to the medical room before, and there is nothing either. ”

"So what now?"

"There's always an ice cave or a warehouse on the ship to store this food and fruit, so let's just look for it. It's really not okay to wait for the next day's fruit to be delivered, so we will go to the restaurant early and wait, so as to seize the opportunity at that time. Another executioner suggested.

There was no other better way, so they discussed meeting at the door of the restaurant at six o'clock the next morning, and the few temporarily parted ways and went back to the lounge.

Sure enough, as soon as Qiu Xuan and Qin Jiuyuan stepped into the door, the familiar and strange smell instantly spread to their nostrils. In addition to the newcomer girl who fell first, there are ...... in the living room Just two people?

She stepped forward to look at the people who had fallen to the ground with pale faces, a man and a woman, both of the four newcomers. What about tangerine peel and leaf love? How are they okay?

Since it had been dark since they had gone out, it must have been the people in the group who were impatient enough to go back to their rooms and go to bed. They pushed open the inner door and went into the room, only to find a total of three people lying on the bed sleeping soundly.

They are Yavet, Ye Qing, and Chen Pi, who do not belong to the category of newcomers.

"They're fine." Qiu Xuan's gaze circled around the sleeping two, making sure that they were healthy and sound, and said softly to Qin Jiuyuan. The latter also tilted his head and said, "Do you want to ask?" ”

"It's hard for people to fall asleep, it's not good to scream like this, it doesn't always feel like a human thing." Qiu Xuan said this, glanced at Qin Jiuyuan, and carried a quilt in his hand to pick him up.

"What's wrong, what's wrong, who's dead, what's wrong!" Chen Pi jumped out of the quilt screaming, Ye Qing's hind feet were also awakened, and his right hand subconsciously took out a dagger from under the pillow and swung it.

Qiu Xuan almost easily subdued her attack, held the dagger and said, "The vigilance is good, but the grip of the knife is not so good, you will feel much better if you move your index finger down." ”

Ye Qing looked at her with heavy eyes.
