On the other side of the hull, Xiang Nanxing and the others had already put on life jackets and sat on the only lifeboat on the boat. Genius remembered for a second that they were waiting for Jiang Le on the other side to give instructions, and they were about to go to the sea and set off and land along another route.

Although the three of them have all been to Xifeng, they are not too familiar with the waters in this area. Needless to say, Xiang Nanxing is a tourist party, Liang Jingmo and Nangong Qian have only stayed here for a few days, and their activities are only limited to those places related to their respective jobs, and they have no experience in going to sea. Fortunately, the yacht was already offshore at this time, and the outline of the coastline could be clearly seen, and their light lifeboat did not need to find a regular harbor, just find a shoal in the area to land.

So, Nangong Qian, who has the best eyesight, volunteered to sit in the driver's seat. But it doesn't seem like she's having much driving experience in this area, and just sitting there at this time gives people a sense of trepidation.

"Actually, girl, you don't have to be nervous at all." A flirtatious voice came from the gangway, "Driving a speedboat is like driving a go-kart, just think of it as a racing game." Push the throttle as high as you can, slam the steering wheel when you see a reef and get a nice 90-degree avoidance, or you can ...... if you like the whole 'Cobra Maneuver'"

"Wouldn't that capsize?" Xiang Nanxing couldn't help shouting.

Nangong Qian nodded seriously, "Thank you for your teaching." ”

"Hey, don't take it seriously...... Forget it, I'll open it, you can sit next to me and show me the way and see the reef. ”

The two people in the front row were naturally stunned and the other looked helpless, while Liang Jingmo, who was sitting in the back row, looked up with an interested expression. "I thought you'd go along." He said, "It's really interesting what is going to happen on the shore than just defensive warfare, and I always think that you will choose this side according to your appetite." ”

"I thought so too." Xiang Nanxing also raised his head to look at this elusive woman. Until now, the impression given to him by the "black cat" in autumn and summer has always been uncertain. She obviously has her own emotions when she hosts the game, which is very different from other hosts, and her actions are even more elusive, always appearing at unexpected times and occasions for others. With Xiang Nanxing's understanding of her, what this woman likes most is all kinds of unpredictable situations, and she seems to have ten times more curiosity than ordinary people.

As Liang Jingmo said, compared to staying on the ship to engage in a rigid and rigid defensive battle, the thing that the three of them are about to do has a richer follow-up change, and it stands to reason that it should be more attractive to her.

"No way, after all, I'm the host."

When Qiu Banxia said this, his expression became rarely serious. She glanced at Liang Jingmo deeply, and then her gaze stayed on Xiang Nanxing. Xiang Nanxing felt that compared to the meeting at Nangong's house not long ago, this time she seemed to have some different emotions in her eyes.

"In short, we all have a mission that we have to accomplish." She said slowly, "Take care, everyone. ”

Liang Jingmo pondered, as if he still had something to say, but Qiu Banxia had already waved his hand in a dashing manner and turned to leave. The blind old man standing on the edge of the lifeboat listened sideways to the sound of her steps on the gangway, then nodded and smiled approvingly.

"Within a few steps, the pace adjustment score is not bad, there are no distractions, what an excellent child." He smiled, "The young people of this generation are really better than the other, and it seems that I have reached the age when I should take over the shift." ”

"Don't make dangerous statements like 'retirement'......" Xiang Nanxing was a little helpless, "But speaking of which, your posture is also very low, I didn't expect that you would be responsible for releasing the lifeboat." ”

"It's okay, I wanted to stay with you a little longer."

Mr. Mori's smiling appearance looks like someone's grandfather, which makes it difficult to associate with his usual decisive temperament. At this time, his staff was leaning to the side, and in the staff was the indestructible long knife, which could fall into the sea at any time because of the shaking of the hull. As if he didn't care, he held the cable in both hands, and waited for the instructions to come from the headphones, then loosened the slipknot and sent the three out to sea.

"It's okay if you want to say it's unlucky, but to be honest, I have a premonition that this is the last time." He smiled and said, "You'd better hope that I'm the one who dies." ”

Of course, this sentence was a joke, but it made the faces of the three people on the boat solemn in unison. If the previous gags in the autumn and summer relaxed the atmosphere, then the old man's words brought them back to reality.

Yes, this journey is deadly.

Although compared to staying on the ship, they would at least not encounter a killer of the Nangong family's level, and even if Jiang Le's cover tactics worked as she preached, they still had a chance to fool the eyes of everyone else and sneak into Xifeng's territory unharmed.

But from here, it's the real tricky part.

With the level of chaos in the Xifeng Kingdom, they may face a harsher investigation than normal, or they may take this opportunity to fish in troubled waters and move more freely, and this unpredictable situation is not a trouble. The real problem is what they're about to do — to snuff out the flames, in Liang's words.

"You have a good idea, not to confront the killer head-on, but to find a way to cancel this assassination." Mr. Mori said, "But it is conceivable that the other party must be ready for ten thousand now, just waiting for the assassin to come to the door." ”

"I can only go up." Liang Jingmo said confidently.

This is the plan he proposed not long ago - a salary from the bottom of the kettle.

At that time, in the face of Xiang Nanxing's persuasion, although Liang Jingmo was quite moved for a while, he finally rejected him. In his own words, he had the same reason as Jiang Le, and he had to go to Xifeng.

But at the same time, he was also keenly aware of the only turning point on the field.

That is the eldest lady of the Nangong family, Nangong Qian.

"I can imagine that you must have come with this guy of your own free will...... But it's hard for me to imagine the attitude of the Nangong family. ”

When he said this, he squinted his eyes and looked at Nangong Qian, "It's just a stupid boy who doesn't know the current affairs, you are the only eldest lady in your own family, if you are allowed to get on the boat, it will be tantamount to causing you to become a target who has to be killed, how can the Nangong family let such a thing happen?" If it were me, I would have killed the people in the way directly, and I would have to leave your people behind if I was strong. ”

"You don't know the Nangong family at all." Nangong Qian said lightly, "The spirit of contract is the foundation of the Nangong family. If you take the order, you will kill someone. As long as the list is still valid, it doesn't make a difference even if I am in the target. ”

She said this with a cold expression and a slow tone, as if every word had to be thought out before it could be spoken. Xiang Nanxing was surprised by her completely different tone from usual, but saw Liang Jingmo's face on the other side suddenly light up.

"That's it, 'the list is still valid', I guessed this was the case!" He clapped his hands and laughed, "Sure enough, it's exactly what I thought." The Nangong family will not use force on you, but you can use it on others. If there is no turning point in this matter, you will definitely not let him come. It is very simple to mobilize the authority of the eldest lady and raise the power of the Nangong family to leave one person behind. ”

"You came along, both as a reminder and as a challenge to us, in fact, you already knew what to do, but we just had to see if anyone here could think of the mystery."

Jiang Le frowned slightly, "What do you mean?" By backdoor? ”

"'As long as the order is true', in other words, let the order not be valid. According to the common rules in the killer world, if the client dies during this period, then it means that his luck is insufficient, and the killer usually returns the previous deposit, which is considered to be a cancellation of the action. Liang Jingmo glanced at Xiang Nanxing next to him, "Of course, it is also possible if the client revokes the list, or fake his death and deceive them?" ”

- Don't be stupid, the Nangong family is not naïve to this extent.

Nangong Qian frowned slightly, almost about to say this. It's just that at this time, she turned her head and glanced at Xiang Nanxing next to her, but saw that there seemed to be a light flashing in the latter's eyes, as if she saw hope.

"Fake death?" He repeated it softly to himself.

Nangong Qian hesitated for a moment, and finally bit her lip silently.

On the other side, Liang Jingmo raised his voice slightly and said his conclusion, "All in all, this matter just needs to find the client before fighting with the Nangong family, and try to invalidate this list." ”

Based on this conclusion, they drew up a plan for the future, dividing the current personnel on board into a decoy group and a special operations group. As the name suggests, the bait team is to stay on the ship to attract attention while preparing to meet the killers, while the special operations team is responsible for the first landing after tricking the other party, trying to find the client and canceling the assassination list. According to common sense, the combat power of this special operations group should be as strong as possible, but Sendros's ship has another problem for them.

The ship he designed was equipped with only one ultra-small lifeboat, not counting the weight of supplies, which could only carry a maximum of four people.

This is understandable, after all, Sendros doesn't trust anyone else in his bones, and if it comes to the point where he wants to send out a lifeboat, he would rather be the only one who can ride, and the three seats are reserved just to keep someone he trusts enough. Sendros was dead by this time, but his designs still loomed over the ship like a curse.

Among these four places, Nangong Qian, as a person in the killer industry, has a special value that even the host can hardly reach, so she should naturally occupy one. And she made it clear that if Xiang Nanxing couldn't go, she would rather give up, so that there would be one less place. In the remaining two seats, Xiang Nanxing tried his best to encourage Liang Jingmo to accompany him to avoid the risk of staying, and his characteristics of emphasizing his mind over force were indeed more suitable for playing a role in operations on the shore, so three people were decided.

What is surprising is that Jiang Le refused to board the ship. As soon as she gave up, all the hosts chose to stay and protect her, and even the taciturn maid said that she wanted to stay on the ship. As a result, the action group, which can reach up to four people, ended up with only three people, and it was up to them to save the remaining people on the ship.

"Anyway, I'll leave it to you."

Mr. Mori heard the command from the earphones, and raised his hand to release the slipknot.

The lifeboat glides all the way along the rails and into the sea, stirring up snow-white waves. Xiang Nanxing raised his head and looked at the old man on the edge of the gangway, and unconsciously bit his lip.

Although he knew that he shouldn't have any nostalgia for the people on this ship, Xiang Nanxing also knew that some of the questions in his heart might only be answered by this group of people. He had been trying to find an opportunity to speak, but his instincts stopped him.

His instincts were telling him that he was only safe if he didn't say it.
