"But only four little ducks...came back!"

Hearing Xie Qi join in, the other party became even more excited.

Just now, there were more than just two voices. Outside the telephone line, outside the door of Xie Qi's room, the person was standing there.

"Ivan."

Xie Qi said the name of the person on the other end of the phone.

It felt a bit strange to call your own name from your own mouth.

After all, in daily life, names are called by others, and the number of times you call them is very few.

Especially in this scene, it gives people a strange feeling. The other party is both yourself and not yourself. The two have the same memory of their youth, but they go their separate ways at a certain moment.

A strong light cast above the head, motionless, coldly watching everything happening below.

Hearing that Xie Qi recognized his voice, Ivan smiled lightly, without questioning or explaining, as if both parties knew it well.

"Where is...the next duck?"

After speaking, a busy tone came from the phone.

Suddenly, there were slow and casual footsteps outside the door, mixed with some slight but unignorable creaking sounds.

The sound gradually faded away, accompanied by the second half of the nursery rhyme that escaped from the phone.

"Four little ducks went swimming..."

...

"But only three little ducks——came back..."

The singing that could penetrate the door immediately made Xie Qi realize that the noises in the house just now must have been heard by the other party, so Ivan could call just after he killed John.

Phone?

Xie Qi looked down at the bulky mobile phone in his hand.

Being able to accurately call this phone, it seems that Ivan has already checked the whereabouts of John and other church members, but the other party did not care what they were doing on the boat.

And this time the other party came here, it could only be because of himself.

Did Ivan guess that he came to see John to kill him? And he also knew that he had to deal with other church members next?

The task issued by the system stated that there were a total of six church members who needed to be killed on the ship.

In addition to John who had already died, there were five people left.

There were also six ducks in the nursery rhyme, including the mother duck.

This couldn't be just a coincidence.

Xie Qi no longer stayed there thinking, but began to search around the room.

This time, the clearance task was tight, and they had less than 10 hours to act, and except for John, the identities of the others were still unknown.

No, there were two more people who could be confirmed.

They were the two people who met at the casino, but he didn't know their room numbers.

Of course, Ivan must have known all this information, but Xie Qi didn't think he would tell him about this.

Judging from his actions just now, Ivan just wanted to see him find those people one by one, and then enjoy himself killing people.

If his own handwriting was mixed in, the fun would be greatly reduced.

Xie Qi instinctively analyzed Ivan's mentality, and no longer doubted the fact that Ivan was his future self.

Xie Qi did not comment on the bad taste of the mature version of himself.

Although he also found that he really liked the feeling of playing tricks on others, he also hated being treated in the same way by others.

Even if that person was himself, it would not work.

But despite this, Xie Qi really had to follow Ivan's ideas at the moment, solve those people one by one, and hold the keys in his own hands.

He liked to leave himself a way out when doing things. Even if outsiders thought that he would occasionally force himself into a desperate situation, in fact, the preparations he made behind the scenes were more than others could imagine.

After all, he was not a madman, and he was afraid of death.

But jumping left and right on the border of death, that feeling was not bad...

The more he thought about it, the more he deviated from the main business. Xie Qi came to his senses and found that he couldn't stop after realizing his nature. This habit was not good and it was easy to overturn.

Well, you should be more restrained.

Xie Qi had carefully turned over John's body just now, and found nothing except a piece of paper with names written on it.

And Ivan's name was written on that piece of paper.

Seeing the number of people on it, Xie Qi recalled that it matched the people who sat at the gambling table on the eighth floor last night.

JohnWhy do you need to know the names of those people?

Put the paper in your pocket for now. The most urgent thing is to find the list of church members.

First, I roughly scanned the whole room and looked at the obvious places where things could be hidden. There was nothing like paper.

Xie Qi was sure that if this was really a game, the system would not issue tasks that players could not complete.

In this task, it was crucial for players to find these people before the time limit.

Let’s not talk about how others get the information. Since he has found John, who is similar to the mother duck in the church, there must be information about other people on him or in the room.

This reminds him of a word search game.

On a map marked with large and small fonts, look for the place names specified by others.

When many people start looking, they will specifically look for place names with small fonts that are difficult to see clearly. In other words, as long as you point to a large word that can span the entire map and fill the retina, it is easy to deceive these people's perspective.

The same principle applies to finding things.

When looking for something at first, you will try to look for it in the corners and inconspicuous places, so you may ignore the items right in front of you.

Thinking that John likes to be smart, he should think of this level.

Therefore, after looking around, Xie Qi's eyes fell on the service record book on the table at the door.

This book is in every guest's room. It contains detailed arrangements for activities on the cruise ship in the past few days, as well as the historical sailing records of the cruise ship. People who often stay in hotels may be familiar with this kind of book.

It is also because it is too common. Basically, you flip through it out of curiosity on the first day of check-in, and then you will forget it. It is like an ordinary decoration, quietly staying in that corner.

Xie Qi walked to the table by the door and reached out to pick up the record book.

There were promotional pages randomly mixed in it, and there were also a few thank-you letters from the cruise ship to the guests. The colorful letter paper was mixed in it and did not attract any attention at all.

‘V-57: (XXX)XXX-XXXX, 507’

‘V-58…501’

‘…’

The rooms of the four people above are all on this floor. Although I’m not sure if they are in the room now, at least they are close.

And the last person…

Xie Qi pointed at it with his fingertips. The room number written on it is on the seventh floor.

The identity of this last person seems to be very extraordinary.
