The riot on the cruise ship did not last long.

Under Sergei's swift and resolute command, the mutated guests on the first and second floors were locked up, and the guests who had witnessed this scene returned to normal within an hour after being isolated, as if they had forgotten everything that had just happened.

Only those who had been mutated had not returned to their original state, and Alyssa was one of them.

Her originally beautiful and delicate face was full of cracks, and black things were surging from it, which made people dare not look directly at her.

She was stuffed into a warehouse with other monsters at this time. It seemed that after a short period of outbreak, these monsters lost their extraordinary strength and speed, and even the bodyguards could easily subdue them.

It was the first time that Sergei saw this kind of monster, and his original worldview was a little shattered, but when Ivan asked him to deal with it, he quickly regained his composure, as if everything in front of him was very normal.

When everything was cleaned up, it was noon.

They had quickly sent people to inform the guests on the ship that the afternoon concert was changed to an opera, which is now the hottest show in the Manhattan Grand Theater. Its leading male and female actors will perform on stage.

Knowing that the time and place would not change, these guests had no objection. After all, they went to watch it just to kill time, and few people really wanted to enjoy the music.

Although Brown James is a well-known pianist and has held concerts everywhere, he is just a plaything in the eyes of these people. Even if someone is curious about his whereabouts, they just talk about it with people around them casually, and no one will spend energy to find him.

The external signal on the cruise ship has long disappeared. When Les found the death of magician William and reported it to Sergey, they found that they could not contact the outside world, even if they had the most advanced satellite phone in their hands.

But most of the guests on the cruise ship did not know these things, and many people had taken the elevator to the first floor.

It has been restored here, and it is completely impossible to see the chaos a few hours ago.

The blond young man who had attracted everyone's attention in the lounge on the sixth floor last night was chatting with a lady. It can be seen that the young man has a good impression of her and has been showing off his erudition. He talked about the Shakespeare play that will be performed soon and the Neoplatonism contained in it. All kinds of mysterious knowledge made the lady's eyes shine.

"For example, "Hamlet", the thinking about the soul, death and moral dilemma are consistent with the focus on the supernatural world in Neoplatonism, and it is full of philosophical speculation on the relationship between man and God..."

The young man enjoyed the lady's admiring eyes and continued to speak his own opinions.

"You are right, Shakespeare's plays are full of humanistic spirit. He emphasizes people's free will and rational spirit. And these ideas are also intrinsically related to Neoplatonism's insight into human nature and philosophical thinking."

A magnetic and pleasant male voice sounded from behind the two people. Before they saw the person, they both guessed that this would be a handsome and knowledgeable gentleman.

But when they looked back, they saw a short and fat man holding a beautiful lady standing behind them. The other person was not ugly, but the flesh on his face squeezed his facial features, making it impossible to tell what he looked like.

The blond youth and the lady froze, and their smiles could not be maintained.

But their excellent social experience allowed them to quickly adjust their expressions. The blond youth looked at the other person with surprise and said, "Are you also interested in Shakespeare and Neoplatonism?"

"I have only read a little bit, but not as profound as your insights just now."

Although the other person's appearance was really unsightly, because of this compliment and his elegant manners, the blond youth was very happy to start a discussion with this man.

As they walked and talked, the waiter guarding the door naturally knew the blond youth. Although the fat man's face was unfamiliar, he still let them in smoothly.

Except for the first few rows of VIP seats in the performance hall, the guests can sit in the seats at the back at will.

Because they were chatting happily, the two groups sat side by side in the middle of the fifth row. The view from this position was good, not too far away, which was good for those who wanted to watch the drama quietly.

Ke Zhi adjusted her skirt before sitting down. Seeing that the couple next to her didn't pay attention to them, she leaned over and whispered:

"How do you know so much? What is that Sha, Sha, etc?"

Xie Qi, who used the mall to change his appearance for a short time, didn't seem to move his mouth, but Ke Zhi clearly heard his voice saying to her: "I don't need to know anything, I just need them not to know what is true."Kezhi turned her head and looked at him, feeling that this sentence seemed to say something, but also seemed to say nothing.

But she instinctively understood it.

In other words, the other party did not really understand these things, and Xie Qi just followed the other party's words and talked about some empty principles that were applicable to all, and won the other party's favor.

Xie Qi's ease in the upper-class social skills reminded Kezhi of the time when she played the role of the Duchess. Although she was only dealing with ladies in the social circle at that time, she talked about dresses and jewelry with those ladies at that time, and Xie Qi talked about drama and literature with the other party now. There was no difference between the two.

The curtain on the stage in front had not been opened yet, and the guests around were seated one after another.

Xie Qi and the blond young man were close, and they were still talking about something enthusiastically before the show started.

Suddenly, the blond young man mentioned the guest on the seventh floor last night.

"He is a gentleman with great talent. He is a good friend of the newly appointed finance minister and they have even been to horse racing together before."

When the blond youth mentioned that man, his expression was as if he also had a friendship with the minister, with a hint of pride in his tone.

Xie Qi listened to his words with a smile, and then inadvertently revealed a hint of doubt when he paused.

Although immersed in his own words, the blond youth instinctively caught this and asked him curiously what happened.

"I seem to have heard that the guest you mentioned has died in his room this morning."

"What?"

The blond youth was shocked, and even the guests sitting in the rows in front and behind the two of them pricked up their ears.

"Why didn't anyone inform us of this news? The death of someone on the ship is a big deal, and the person's status is very high."

Hearing the other party's doubts, Xie Qi showed a mysterious look, and whispered to him in a low voice that could be heard by people around him: "It was the owner of the cruise ship who suppressed the news, so it didn't spread out. I only found out when I happened to meet my father-in-law when I went to find him."

"Besides, my father-in-law hasn't returned to his room since he went to the eighth floor last night. I am also very worried about his safety."

Xie Qi put on a worried expression and calmly turned the topic to Ivan.
