The fifth day's ball was grand.
All the guests wore their gorgeous clothes and various masks on their faces. The waiters shuttled among them and the musicians played music. It seemed that the panic of the previous day had dissipated like fog, and everyone was enjoying themselves.
Xie Qi, Ke Zhi and Luo Chi were among them, feeling the luxurious and decadent aristocratic life of the upper class.
The owner of the cruise ship had not arrived yet, and Hughes was not seen. The guests gathered in groups of three or two, talking about Ivan who was about to appear.
"Have you heard about that?"
"Of course I have. Is there anyone on the ship who doesn't know?"
"You dare to come to the party even though you know about it? There are so many people here. Those monsters may be hiding inside!"
"You are the same? Besides, monsters don't dare to appear when there are too many people. Haven't you seen those horror movies where only people who are alone will be found?"
"Do you think those people were really killed by monsters? Didn't you say before that the owner of the cruise ship..."
"Shh! Keep your voice down! Wait until we get back to land to talk!"
Countless gossips reached the ears of the three people. It can be heard that not everyone believes in the monster statement. Many people still think that this is just an excuse for Ivan to get rid of suspicion.
But they are all under the eaves and can only admit it superficially.
When Xie Qi and the other three entered with the invitation letter, the waiter led them to the front row. Facing them was a two-meter-high platform, on which a group of musicians playing musical instruments performed.
It was like the calm before the storm. Kezhi frowned and observed the bodyguards standing by the walls around him, thinking about how to escape if he was surrounded.
Just as the atmosphere was becoming calmer, the music reached its climax.
Amid the noise of the crowd, the three saw the door open again.
Ivan was still wearing an elegant white suit, and the silver-white mask on his face blended in harmoniously with the ball.
He was still holding Zero behind him, and Xieqi and Kezhi could tell that Hughes was also mixed in with the bodyguards behind him.
Seeing Ivan and his group coming in, the guests in the forward direction consciously stepped back and made way for Xieqi and his group.
Xieqi saw Ivan getting closer and closer to him.
Both of them wore masks on their faces, with smiles on their lips.
It's just that one of them seemed calm and self-sustaining, while the other was more outgoing. Even if he was just passing by, he would wave to other guests, as if he regarded himself as a superstar surrounded by fans. Every move was full of performance.
When passing by the three people, Ke Zhi and Luo Chi, who knew that Ivan was Xie Qi's half, thought that the two would talk, but they found that they seemed to not know each other and just passed by.
Zero, who followed Ivan, stopped beside Xie Qi for a while, but was soon called away by Ivan in front.
Hughes didn't give them a glance when he passed by them, which made Ke Zhi and Luo Chi couldn't help but look at Xie Qi, wondering if this situation was what he expected.
Luo Chi went to find Ke Zhi last night. The two put aside their past grudges and exchanged the information they knew with each other. They also knew what Xie Qi had done during this period.
Ke Zhi no longer regarded Xie Qi as a newcomer, and felt that he was better than those senior E-level prisoners.
Unfortunately, the other party did not regard them as teammates and acted as he pleased, so they could only follow him and adapt to the situation.
Ke Zhi had already obtained the pass key and could leave the dungeon at any time. She also hid in the room with the girl and told her about her identity in the dungeon so that she could pretend to be her sister and get off the ship.
Although she heard from the old prisoners that except for the dungeons where the prisoners played the role of A-level or above, other dungeons would be reset by the system after completion, and the NPC memories in them would be cleared and would not remember everything she did, she still wanted to do something as much as possible, as if this would make up for herself who had never received help from others when she was a child.
Luo Chi currently did not have a pass key, and the only one he got was taken away by Xie Qi.
With his courage, he naturally did not dare to ask for it back, and his half body, Hughes' half body and trumpet zero were all left in his and Xie Qi's room, and the doors were all locked and could not be opened from the inside, in case they came out to attack the main body today.
Luo Chi had only heard from Ke Zhi that the half body might attack the main body, and Ke Zhi had heard from Hughes, but neither of them had actually seen how this aggression was specifically manifested.
After all, before leaving in the morning, neither Luo Chi's half body nor Ke Zhi's half body showed much disgust towards them.Son.
Hughes' half body was not there, so his performance was not a reference.
And Ivan's appearance now also confused Kezhi and Luo Chi. He looked no different from what he had seen before, but he seemed to be more excited.
Luo Chi looked at Ivan's performance and sighed that he was indeed Xie Qi's half body. He was exactly the same as when he first entered the cell on the third floor.
All the guests were now looking at Ivan who was walking up to the platform.
Many people had never seen this cruise ship owner. When they saw him at this time, they couldn't help but sigh that his temperament and demeanor were indeed outstanding.
"What's the use of good looks? He's just a low-class person..."
"Shh - don't let anyone hear it."
"What's the use? No matter how well it's packaged, it's still not presentable inside."
"But he does look good. I wonder if I can spend the night with him later?"
The music on the stage has stopped. The guests who were just stunned by Ivan's appearance have regained their senses. Some unbalanced people began to belittle each other in a low voice, as if this would show their nobility.
Ke Zhi and Luo Chi also heard these whispers and couldn't help frowning.
In their world, they were not qualified to enter the inner city with their citizen level. They were surrounded by people of the same level as them, and they had never heard anyone belittle someone based on their status.
These people were obviously afraid of Ivan, but they were unwilling to give in. They attacked each other in other ways in a low voice to find a little bit of boring superiority for themselves.
They were very disgusted with this scene, but they couldn't help but think of reality.
Did those high-level citizens also think of them in this way?
Do they think they are just playthings, and no matter how hard they try, they can never become superior people in their eyes?
Xie Qi ignored their thoughts. He has been facing such scenes since he was born.
As an Oriental born in the West, his parents have no money, and even the nurses in the hospital will ignore him from time to time.
When he got older and came into contact with other children, he knew that he was an alien to them.
But what if he was an alien?
Xie Qi stared at Ivan, who was standing on the high platform with a smile on his face.
One day, I will make you crawl at my feet.
