Chapter 002: Death Passenger Ship (1)
"Holy! How did Lao Tzu become a woman......"
A shrill shout mixed with disbelief, consternation, grief, joy and other complex emotions broke the silence in the private room of the bar.
The foul remark paused Wei Zede's movements, but he still inhaled and took a small sip of wine.
The tongue stirs in a slow motion, allowing the wine to fully contact the tongue, palate, jaw, inside of the cheeks and at the base of the tongue, and the aroma fills the entire mouth.
Squinting contentedly, Wei Zede turned his head sideways and shifted his gaze to the "lady" sitting on his right.
I saw this "young lady" wearing a long dress with a thin frame at the hem and a hat with artificial flowers on her head, and she was moving her hands up and down her body with an unusually wild movement.
Under the gaze of several "gentlemen", this reasonably good-looking Western European woman was rubbing a pair of "huge fruits" on her chest with her hands, and she even planned to lift her skirt and put her hand in to "check".
"Ahem......"
A middle-aged man in a long gown coughed twice in embarrassment, trying to divert everyone's attention.
"This lady is in such a strange situation...... Not our will! But you don't have to be like that...... Well, so ......"
Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, the "lady" roared in a voice that was close to collapse: "Ma'am? QNMD Lady! Lao Tzu is a pure man......"
“¥%…%…#@#%!!”
After a burst of hysterical venting, the young "lady's" mood finally stabilized.
"That's it! We've wasted a lot of time......"
Another elderly man with a monocle on the bridge of his nose and some gray hair said, "I'm sure everyone already understands the current situation!" ”
Looking at the different expressions on everyone's faces, the older man continued, "I don't know how Nightmare Paradise chose us? And how does it work? How many more gamers like us are there? ”
“…… However, these doubts did not prevent us from completing this 'trial scenario'. ”
There seemed to be a kind of magic in the older man's calm tone, which quickly calmed the restless crowd.
"Introduce yourself first...... My name for this mission scenario is Saul Arnold, and I'm a retired medic. ”
At the gesture of the older man, several other players also said:
"Joan Davide, I'm a priest in the game."
"Norton Bell, an engineer who repairs radio stations."
"Lena Rodney, uh......, I'm a ballet dancer."
"Wizel Tisrel."
Wei Zede, who did not get the corresponding "pseudonym", said without changing his face: "My identity is a professional copywriter. ”
After introducing himself, the older man, who goes by the pseudonym Thor, nodded and said, "Good! It seems that none of us are 'brainless' stupid, and I hope we can have a good time working together in this trial mission. ”
Thor, a retired military doctor, naturally put himself in the role of interim team leader, and everyone did not dispute this.
"If you don't have any doubts, I think we'd better get out of here......"
As he spoke, Thor scooped up from his seat.
It was only at this time that everyone noticed that the seemingly thin body of the retired military doctor in front of them was actually quite strong.
"Huh? Why leave? ”
Norton, the engineer, the middle-aged man in the long gown, said with a stunned expression, "It's a nice place here!" You see, there's the wine and the food...... Well, I mean, it's okay to talk about what to do next and get used to the environment on the boat......"
"Mr. Norton, for your advice...... I'm afraid I can't accept it! ”
Saul shook his head and explained, "According to the hints given by the 'cutscenes', the passenger ship we are on is in a deadly crisis......"
"I'm not sure when this crisis will come, but I can say with certainty that if we stay here and don't move, we'll be waiting for our ...... Only death! ”
"Is it so exaggerated?"
Engineer Norton muttered quietly, "Isn't it alarmist......"
After hearing Norton's muttering, Thor, a retired medic, wiped his monocle; Priest Joan Davide, who sat in the innermost part of the private room in the bar, seemed to hear nothing; Weizede himself, on the other hand, was enthusiastically and repeatedly holding the wine and food on the table.
As for the only "woman" among the five gamers, the ballet dancer Lina, two words came out of her mouth contemptuously: "Stupid! ”
"You...... Who do you say is stupid? I'm not! ”
Norton, an engineer who was not good at words, retorted with a red face.
Ballet dancer Lena rolled her eyes beautifully, and Shi Shiran said, "Mr. Norton! Please think carefully about the 'cutscene'...... [Princess Largane...... Slowly leaving the docks, a journey of death began. 】”
"'Death Tour'? What could this mean? ”
Lena's tone was aggressive: "Mr. Norton, you should have understood now, right?" ”
"But...... But you don't know what the 'Journey of Death' is? ”
Engineer Norton defended himself: "If we don't know what kind of deadly crisis the words 'Journey of Death' represent, why do we say that if we stay here, we will die?" Perhaps, if you leave here, you will really die......"
"...... for this question"
Wei Zede continued to "pick up and put down the wine and food on the table", and said in a lazy tone: "I can explain this question! ”
"...... [Maybe the vast sea is not as wide as imagined...... The inevitable collision ......] ...... [Once it happens, the "tragedy" will fiercely seize the opportunity and begin its cruel and ruthless torture! 】……”
In an aria-like tone, Weizde repeats the narration that appears in the cutscene word for word, and then his voice changes back to the lazy state it used before: "Collision, tragedy, torture...... These three words are already obvious! The crisis we are facing is certainly a 'shipwreck' with heavy casualties......"
After speaking, Wei Zede began the monotonous action of "picking up and putting down the wine and food on the table" again.
Thor, a retired military doctor on the side, watched Wei Zede's strange behavior thoughtfully.
"Okay, okay! I see......"
Norton, the engineer, finally gave up on his insistence, and he chattered, "Although my reaction is a little slower, it doesn't mean that I'm a 'stupid'!" ”
It can be seen that Norton is very sensitive to the word "stupid", but why is this so?
A smile appeared at the corner of Wei Zede's mouth.
