Chapter 75 Katsushika Hokusai's Octopus Painting
Qin Lingxue and Xiao Yezi walked through the corridor of the passenger ship.The corridor is covered with thick carpets, and the crystal lamps in the aisle are shining brightly.The newly arranged Christmas decorations add a bit of festive atmosphere to this luxurious liner.

"It's extravagant." Sayoko muttered.

"Normal level," said Qin Lingxue, who came from a big family and knew better. "And then, you should be aware that the ages shown on our character files are 17 and 18..."

"High school students... that's great." Sayoko showed a nostalgic expression.

"Yes, that's great." Qin Lingxue also sighed.

The two girls pass two crew members carrying Christmas trees into a common cabin.Two middle-aged men are talking about business here.

"The painting on this wall seems to be—" Sayoko noticed that there was a strange ukiyo-e painting on the wall of the cabin, which depicted a strangely shaped octopus entangled with a woman. "This is Katsushika Hokusai The... wait, the real thing?!"

"It's the real thing." Qin Lingxue took a closer look at the words drawn.

"They actually hang the authentic work here?"

"It's the Haneda Group's way of displaying the master's authentic works in the cabin to show their heritage," Qin Lingxue said calmly, "It's normal operation, normal operation. Well, where did we just talk about?"

"Identity. We are now...or in other words, the people we've 'substituted' in... are ordinary high school girls."

"I don't know if it's ordinary or not. From the information I just found, Ding Xingwang, a member of the Haneda family," Qin Lingxue said, raising the certificate in his hand, "My credit rating is 75%, which may belong to the core of the family. Members, but judging by your credit rating, you are a collateral branch, and you are not considered a member of the family at all."

"I really want to be a young lady again..." Xiao Yezi seemed a little helpless, she was very happy to be able to change back to JK, but why is it always Qin Lingxue who is lucky?

"Compared to these, I'm more concerned about why 'Yuki Haneda' and 'Sayako Haneda' who have a huge difference in status live in the same room," Qin Lingxue frowned, "We..."

The two walked past the ship's steakhouse.This luxury liner has six different restaurants, the main restaurant that can accommodate the whole ship to eat at the same time, and the exhibition restaurant where people wander among the artworks. This high-end steakhouse is just one of the "ordinary" ones.

[Sayako Haneda succeeded in detection check 16/25]

"Sister Xue." Xiao Yezi pulled Qin Lingxue who was in deep thought.

"what?"

"Look there."

Following Xiao Yezi's fingers, Qin Lingxue saw that Chen Qiang, who was in a suit and leather shoes, was sitting at a table in the corner of the restaurant, eating a well-cooked filet mignon.

Xiao Yezi and Qin Lingxue looked at each other.

It seems that they don't need to make excuses to ask the waiter to find someone...

……

Chen Qiang chewed his steak to his heart's content.He doesn't care if ordering a well-done steak will be complained about as a bumpkin, as long as it tastes good.

[Jon En Chen’s listening test failed 96/70]

There were people coming and going inside and outside the steakhouse, and the elegant Bandari ambient music was playing in the restaurant. Chen Qiang didn't hear the voices of the two women outside the door at all.

But with the "Secret Keeper's Eye", he can even see the "Dark Dice" that the so-called players should not know.In the "Original Purpose" mode of this mod, except for Chen Qiang, everyone else cannot see any dice results.

Listening checks...

"Am I missing something?"

He looked up vigilantly, but what he saw was not Qin Lingxue or Xiao Yezi, but a man in a police uniform.

This person is thin and tall, and his appearance is not very handsome, but he gives people a sense of solidity.He has the yellow skin of an oriental, but his hair is blond, and he looks like a mixed race.

"Mr. Chen?" He asked politely.

"I am." Chen Qiang nodded.

Qin Lingxue and Xiao Yezi at the door naturally saw this scene in their eyes.

"Hide quickly." Qin Lingxue pulled Xiao Yezi.From their point of view, they could clearly see that the person had been sitting behind Chen Qiang, and suddenly got up and walked towards Chen Qiang.

[Haneda Yuki stealth test 15/20 success]

[Sayako Haneda failed the stealth check 77/55]

Xiao Yezi suddenly felt a sharp pain in her calf, and accidentally kicked down the flower pot in the corner.

"Sir, I'll take a moment of your time," the policeman looked serious, and suddenly turned around as if aware of it, "They..."

"Xiaoxue, Xiaoyako, come here," Chen Qiang said, swallowing the steak in his mouth, "Sir, this is my girlfriend Haneda Yuki."

What about my introduction!Sayoko thought.

She pressed her calf wrapped in white stockings,

I can't be wrong, my "role", I don't know when I was injured there.She had already discovered it when she went out, but at that time she felt that the pain could be tolerated by herself...

"Here, Kenhito Uesugi, the captain of the 'Haneda'," the man bowed slightly, "Nice to meet you, Miss Haneda. Do you mind if I take up a little of your boyfriend's time?"

"Can I sit here and listen with my friends?" Xiaoxue also bowed.

[Haneda Yuki charm check failed 63/52]

Uesugi Kenhito hesitated a little.

"But Miss Haneda..."

"Let them stay here," Chen Qiang waved his hand, "Or is it because of something I committed, Mr. Marshal, that it is inconvenient for Xiaoxue to stay here?"

[Qian Chen's Charm Check 9/36 succeeded]

"How could it be?" Uesugi Kenhito smiled, "Sit down, Ms. Haneda. And this..."

"Sayako Haneda." Sayoko hurriedly introduced herself.

[Qiang En Chen failed the psychology test 86/62]

[Sayako Haneda failed the psychology test 82/10]

[Haneda Yuki failed the psychology test 58/39]

Uesugi Kenhito frowned slightly.

"It seems that there are quite a lot of distinguished guests from the Haneda family on this voyage." Uesugi Kenhito said, looking at Sayoko.

Sayoko smiled.

As for Chen Qiang—although he didn't notice the subtle change in Uesugi Kenren's expression, the timing of the psychology check was enough for him to make some guesses.

"Do you know Sayoko?" Chen Qiang asked.

"Miss Haneda Sayoko and I met for the first time today," Uesugi Kenhito said, "but I also happen to have something to ask Haneda Sayoko later on."

"Is it convenient to say clearly at the same time?" Chen Qiang frowned.

[Jiang En Chen failed the persuasion check 59/35]

"However, we also have procedures..." Uesugi Kenhito seemed very hesitant.

"If it's not something particularly important, just think of it as a favor for our Haneda family." Xiaoxue said, picking up the red wine on the table and filling a glass for Kenhito Uesugi.

[Haneda Yuki succeeded in the persuasion check 32/44]

"Okay," Uesugi Kenhito said helplessly, "Actually, strictly speaking, this is indeed the same thing. Also, I don't drink."

"Please tell me." Chen Qiang was polite.

"actually……"

Uesugi Kenhito hesitated for a moment, then seemed to make up his mind.

"...theft happened on the cruise ship." Uesugi Kenhito lowered his voice when he said this.

coming!

It is the main line of the mod, the "hook" of the story!
Chen Qiang thought.

　Re-explain, the special regulation of this module is "the player is inserted into the preset character", only the name and occupation are given, and the ability value follows the real person (a few skills are different), and the detailed experience is hidden. Talking about the character's own situation is also part of the puzzle solving of the module.
