Xinghe frowned and looked at the cabin in front of him, he didn't know if every boat would be so full, although this was the first ship this week, maybe some people who were stranded in the Elven River yesterday and rushed to the capital were crowded into this ship, but there were indeed too many people in the cabin.

The not too large cockpit was stuffed with passengers, the seats were crowded with people, not to mention, and many people sat in the open space of the cabin just like that, Xinghe just took a general look, and found that many of them were dragged by families, and a pair of parents with a few children carrying a bunch of large bags of luggage.

When buying the tickets, Rong Ruo waived the tickets by virtue of his identity as an agent at Valhalla, and he and Anton bought the cheapest tickets in order to save money, and the conductor told them that as long as there were empty seats in the cockpit, they could go and sit on them.

This was Xinghe's first time on a boat, and Rong Ruo told them that there must be a lot of empty seats on the ship, so he didn't think much about it, but now he had to worry about this problem, as soon as there were many people in the cabin, it began to become noisy, Xinghe shook his head helplessly, giving up the idea of continuing to stay here.

I heard that the scenery on the deck was good, so Xinghe proposed to Anton to go to the deck to see the scenery, Anton grew up in Jiangcheng since he was a child, and he had never seen the sea, and when he heard that he was going to the deck, he happily agreed.

The two walked down the aisle in the cabin all the way to the deck.

The ship had left the harbor a long way away, and there were not as many people on deck as there were in the cabin, and the salty and wet sea breeze blew from the sea, which immediately drove away the dull feeling in the cabin, and Xinghe and Anton held on to the iron handrail on the deck until they reached the stern, and the huge figure of the Pale Tree happened to be in full view from this position.

The huge pale trunk of the tree was like a giant peak jutting into the sea, and below the trunk was the extraordinarily delicate city, and above the trunk was a patch of emerald mixed with the white clouds, and occasionally a few seabirds skimmed over the sky, leaving a few birdsong.

The two teenagers were speechless by the sight, which was probably the first time they had seen such a magnificent sight.

"You've been looking for you for a long time. Rong Ruo's voice suddenly came from behind, and Xinghe turned his head and saw Rong Ruo standing behind panting, with a sense of blame in his eyes.

Xinghe looked at her, knowing that she might have really been looking for them for a long time, and felt a little apologetic, "It's good for you to rest over there, let's just look at the scenery here." ”

"I'm sorry, I really didn't know it would be like this. Rong Ruo lowered her head.

"It's okay, it's not your fault. Xinghe comforted.

"No, give. Rong Ruo handed over a wrapped handkerchief.

"What is this?" Xinghe asked, watching Anton take the lilac handkerchief and flip open the four corners of the stack, which contained a few small snacks, but they had been pressed and slightly deformed.

"It's the dim sum over there, haven't you had breakfast yet?" Rong Ruo said, crossing her waist.

Being mentioned by her like this, Xinghe really felt a little hungry.

"Thank you then. Anton was not polite, took a piece of dim sum and threw it into his mouth, and at the same time said to Xinghe, "Xinghe, you can taste it, this thing tastes really good." ”

Xinghe carefully took a piece of snack from the handkerchief, and did not rush to put it in his mouth, but looked at Rongruo with a complicated expression, the girl in front of him had no obligation to do these things for them, but along the way, they were taken care of by this girl a lot, which made Xinghe feel that he owed her a lot.

Rong Ruo saw that he hadn't eaten the dim sum in his hand for a long time, probably because of some misunderstanding, and the stall hand explained to him, "What's wrong, it's not your appetite, there is only this thing there, and I can't help it if you want to eat anything else." ”

"No, I didn't mean that. Xinghe put the snack in his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed, "Thank you, it tastes good." ”

The boat has completely sailed to the middle of the sea, surrounded by the vast sea, and it has entered the early winter, as soon as the excitement of seeing the sea for the first time has passed, Xinghe feels that the oncoming sea breeze blows like a knife and his cheeks hurt, although there are no clouds above his head and the sun is shining, but Xinghe does not feel a little temperature, but is frozen enough.

There are a lot fewer people watching the scenery on the deck, Xinghe looked at Rong Ruo and Anton, they also looked a little cold, they were standing in place with their arms and stomping their feet, Xinghe thought about it, and planned to call the two back to the cabin, just at this time, he inadvertently glanced in the other direction of the deck.

That casual glance made Xinghe see an unexpected person, that is, Kru Duzer, he was wearing a gray-green coat, probably to be unobtrusive, he wore a peaked cap on his head, but when Xinghe looked at him, he happened to raise his head, so that Xinghe recognized the face that he would never forget.

Standing at one end of the deck, leaning on the railing of the ship's side, with leather gloves in his hands, and a paper cup in one hand, which contained some kind of hot drink, steaming, he took out a pocket watch from the pocket of his coat with his other hand to look at the time, and then poured the liquid from the cup into the sea.

Xinghe looked at Du Ze distractedly, and took two steps ahead in a daze, until someone put his hand in front of his eyes and shook it, "Hey, what are you looking at?" Rong Ruo glanced ahead along his line of sight, and after failing to find anything to pay attention to, she looked at her suspiciously.

Xinghe came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and whispered, "I saw Du Ze." ”

"Seriously, it can't be that you're wrong, right?" Anton looked shocked, while Rong Ruo looked dazed, "Who is Du Ze?"

"He's right there. Xinghe pointed to Du Ze, who was still standing on the side of the boat, Anton and Rongruo immediately poked their heads out to look, and it happened that at this time, Du Ze put his hands in the pockets of his coat and turned to leave the side of the boat, Xinghe hurriedly pulled the two back and pressed their heads down.

Du Ze didn't notice the three of them, but walked through the few remaining pedestrians on the deck into the cabin, and Anton pulled the corner of his clothes behind his back and asked, "Xinghe, why is Du Ze here?"

Xinghe gritted his teeth, "I don't know, anyway, let's go ahead and have a look." Then he took the lead in overtaking the cabin, and Rong Ruo called out from behind, "You haven't told me who Du Ze is?"

It's just that Xinghe's mind is all on Du Ze at this time, where will he answer her question, she stomped her foot a little angrily in the back, but still followed.

Du Ze did not go back to the cockpit, nor did he go to the cabin, but bypassed all the passengers, and walked into a no-one aisle in the cabin, when passing by a trash can, he took off the gloves on his hand and threw it in, Xinghe has been hunched and followed him closely, fortunately, there are many staggered aisles in this boat, giving Xinghe a place to hide, in addition, he noticed that they had just passed through a warning sign that said "Non-staff do not enter".

After walking for a while, Du Ze stopped in front of an iron door, and the three of them hid in an aisle not far away, "You haven't told me who Du Ze really is?", Rong Ruo asked in a low voice unrelentingly.

"Can you ask this question in a different place? Xinghe replied casually, and then secretly poked his head out to observe Du Ze, but as soon as he poked his head out, he was pulled back by Rong Ruo.

Before he could question, she pulled him aside, then watched as she squeezed into the aisle and took out a vanity mirror from her pocket, carefully sticking it out of the ground, while also making a silent gesture to Xinghe.

Xinghe was a little stunned, why did he feel that this girl's nature was higher than hers?

From the mirror, you can see that Du Ze knocked on the door, and after a while, the door opened, and a bearded Moluo man wearing a thick bib came out of it, he looked up at Du Ze, and seemed to be surprised, the two began to talk, and the bearded man seemed to be very angry, because after a distance, Xinghe only heard his voice very loud, and he was very emotional, but he didn't hear what he said specifically, thinking that it should be something like letting Du Ze leave.

However, Du Ze did not leave, but took out a black short stick from the inside of his coat and stabbed it in the chest of the bearded man.

Rong Ruo exclaimed, Xinghe hurriedly covered her mouth, and from the mirror, she could see that Du Ze seemed to have heard something, and glanced in this direction suspiciously, and the three of them held their breath for a moment, looking at Du Ze in the mirror motionlessly.

Fortunately, he probably thought he had misheard, but after glancing in this direction, he pushed open the iron door and walked down, and the three of them stayed there quietly for a while, confirming that he had not returned before breathing a sigh of relief.

The first to rush out was Rong Ruo, the first time Xinghe saw such a serious expression on her face, she rushed to the side of the bearded Moluo man, put her head on his chest, and then raised her head, looked at Xinghe and Anton who rushed over, her face was much better, "I just fainted." ”

Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief, he remembered very well what happened in the ruins last time, and there were five lives left there.

The power room is written on the iron door, what is Du Ze going to do in the power room of this ship? Xinghe suddenly had some bad feelings, Rong Ruo and Anton also saw the words on the door, and their faces became grim.

"Xinghe, what should I do?" Anton cast an inquiring look, and before Xinghe could speak, Rong Ruo made a decision first, "I'll go in and take a look, and you go and inform the people on the boat." ”

"You're going to go in alone?" Anton looked at her in disbelief.

Rong Ruo smiled proudly, "I'm a junior agent at Valhalla, and this is my scope of work. ”

Xinghe then remembered the girl's identity, and her unreliability almost made him forget this along the way, but she still took a deep breath and said, "I'll go too." ”

Rong Ruo stared at his eyes for two seconds, did not object, pushed open the iron door, and walked in first, Xinghe glanced back at Anton, "Go and call someone." He walked in.

The power room was filled with a large number of steaming pipes and some gauges, Xinghe frowned and glanced at it, it was more complicated than he thought, he glanced at Rong Ruo, who was biting her thumb, obviously a little troubled.
