Rye tossed the bracelet to Scotland, "You go to the room first, we'll all be there in a bit."
"I'll look down from the top floor." Bourbon said and rushed to the elevator. The conversations of the gamblers around him reached his ears.
"Where is Gray Rabbit?"
"Who knows? Hehehe..."
"If I catch her, I will let her know how powerful I am." A strong gambler turned his wrist.
Bourbon noticed that someone was following him and guessed that these gamblers wanted to find Mingyue through him. He frowned and pulled his collar with his bloody fingers, as if this would make him feel more comfortable.
We can't let them follow us. Bourbon quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind, glanced at the elevator door that was opening, and turned around and ran towards the stairwell without looking back.
"Quick, follow up!"
The sound of messy footsteps behind him made Bourbon run upstairs even faster. He wanted to find Mingyue before these gamblers found her.
Scotland and Rye are experiencing similar situations.
Scotland, who was in the elevator, felt the vague gazes of the people around him, and his cheek muscles tensed.
After the elevator reached the 7th floor, Scotland slowly walked out of the elevator, followed by the other gamblers in the elevator. Scotland turned around and confronted the gamblers.
"Everyone," Scotland clenched his fists, "you..."
"The gray rabbit is there!" A gambler pointed behind Scotland.
Scotland turned his head quickly and saw a streak of gray passing by, and the gamblers rushed over there like crazy. Scotland ran towards the place where the gray disappeared, not daring to delay for even a second.
However, at the end of the road, everyone found only an inflatable doll wearing clothes and a wig.
"The Gray Rabbit must be nearby!" the gambler who was chasing after him panted, "Look for it quickly! Quick!"
Scotland looked around, his Adam's apple rolling up and down under his collar, all his senses on high alert, trying to capture every subtle change, while constantly telling himself to stay calm.
There were a lot of people, chaotic footsteps, and noisy voices. Scotland took advantage of the people around him not paying attention and quickly moved away. He quickly came to the door of Mingyue's cabin, swiped the door open with his bracelet, and slipped in.
The room was in a silent darkness, with only a faint glow of moonlight filtering into the room.
Scotland glanced around and decisively pressed the switch.
The lights came on, dispelling the darkness, but Scotland's mood became even heavier. He didn't find Mingyue, and he didn't even find any signs that anyone had been in the room. So where did Mingyue go?
Scotland stood at the door, his ear pressed against it, and the noisy footsteps were still heard outside.
It was late at night, but the people on the cruise ship were still busy.
Kirima Daqi's fingertips tapped the armrest of the wheelchair from time to time. Behind him, Beeming Naoko moved her lips twice, "Daki, who is that Miss Gray Rabbit?"
"All you need to know is that she is our honored guest."
Naoko Fengmei lowered her eyes slightly to hide the emotions in her eyes, "Okay, I got it. I shouldn't say so much, I just want to help you share..." The grievance hidden in her words was like a flooded river.
Kirima Daqi held onto Naoko's soft little hand and patted the back of her hand soothingly. Just as he was about to say something comforting, he was interrupted by a male voice.
"Master, one lifeboat is missing." The man in a black tuxedo quickly came to Qijian Daqi, knelt on one leg, and lowered his head. "I failed in my duty. Please punish me."
Kirima Daqi released the hand holding Fengming Naoko and looked at the head of the man kneeling on the ground. He saw the thick curly hair hanging down naturally, with a respectful look. Kirima Daqi reached out to support the man and said softly, "Ximu, you get up first."
"Yes." The man stood up, his slightly curly hair outlining soft lines. He stood with his head lowered, looking humble.
Seeing Kirima Daqi frowned slightly, Fengming Naoko said, "You guys chat, I'll wait outside."
"No need." Kirima Daqi stopped Fengming Naoko who was about to leave, "Naoko, just stay here with me. Some things will be discovered sooner or later."
The man called Ximu raised his eyes slightly, glanced quickly at Qiejian Daqi, then quickly retracted his gaze and stared at his toes, with undercurrents surging in his eyes.
Qiejian Daqi lightly pressed the remote control in his hand, and the room became dim. He looked up at the hazy night outside the window, and he chuckled as he thought of something.
The originally clear night sky was now covered with clouds of varying sizes. The moonlight tried hard to shine through the clouds, but only a blurry shadow could be seen.
The sea water in winter is freezing cold.
A lifeboat cut through the sea like an arrow. Ace, who was holding the steering wheel, had bloodshot eyes. He dared not blink because huge multi-masted sailing ships were right behind them.
"Can't you drive faster? They're about to catch up!" Rose's chest heaved violently, her eyes full of fear.
Ace looked at the numbers on the dashboard, frowning, "Not enough fuel."
"what!"
"Wasn't there a lot of them before?!" Kogoro Mouri clearly felt that the speed of the lifeboat was slowing down.
Ross said in a low voice: "Do you know who is following behind?"
"Blackbeard." The veins on the back of Ace's hand that was holding the steering wheel were bulging. "He is a pirate who does all kinds of evil in this sea area."
"Now that you know, think of a solution!" Rose paced back and forth in the cab, her steps hurried and messy, and from time to time she raised her telescope to look at the approaching pirate ship. In her mind, all kinds of terrible thoughts were like wild horses running wildly.
Maori Kogoro looked at Ross, "Do we still have grenades?"
"Didn't you use them all?" Ross glared at Maori Kogoro and said unhappily, "You thought that the water mist explosion could allow us to escape, but what happened? We were still caught up by them. Those grenades should not have been given to you. You only knew how to throw them into the water!"
"I didn't expect them to find us so quickly." Maori Kogoro looked at Ace, "How far is the nearest island to us?"
Ace took a deep breath and said, "It's very far away. Even if there is an island nearby, it is probably an uninhabited island. There is no way there are any supplies on the island."
"Didn't you say before that it was only three or four days' journey from Tokyo Port?"
"We were chased by pirates and had already deviated from our course." Ace glanced at the ghost-like sail behind him, "There's no way those pirates would let us return to Japan."
The inky black sea merges into the night sky. The surging waves surge high, and the wave crests flash coldly under the dim light, just like an evil eye lurking in the darkness, spying on everything.
The approaching pirate ships were like a group of black demons with bared fangs and claws, and the tiny lifeboat was like a lamb to be slaughtered.
"Give me the satellite phone!" Maori Kogoro reached out to Ross for it, "We must seek help from outside!"
Ross looked at Kogoro Maori, took a deep breath, and handed over the satellite phone at his waist.
Kogoro Mouri quickly took it, looked at the GPS on the dashboard, quickly pressed a series of numbers, put the satellite phone to his ear, and waited for the call to be connected. However, a long string of busy tones came into Mouri Kogoro's ears. Mouri Kogoro hung up and dialed again, but the result was the same. He changed countless numbers, but still got a busy tone.
"What's wrong?" Rose stared at Kogoro Maori, her fingers crossed and clasped tightly, and an ominous premonition came over her heart.
Kogoro Maori didn't reply, but just kept hanging up, dialing again, hanging up, and mechanically and repeatedly pressing the numbers, over and over again.
Busy tone, no matter who you call, it's always busy.
"You don't know how to use it, give it to me." Rose grabbed the satellite phone and dialed the number she and Snake had agreed on. A busy tone came from the receiver. Rose, unwilling to give up, dialed several more times, but the same thing happened.
Suddenly, Ross seemed to have thought of something and pried open the back cover of the satellite phone with a dagger.
Maori Kogoro stretched his head over and asked, "What did you find?"
"I can't make the call. The phone might be damaged." Ross felt as if his heart was being gnawed by ten thousand ants. His thoughts were tangled together like a tangled mess, and the more he tried to sort them out, the more confused he became.
"Can you repair it?" Kogoro Mouri widened his eyes.
Ross glared at Maori Kogoro and said, "How could I possibly do that?"
"Mr. Maori, even if the satellite phone has not been destroyed, according to the current situation, it will be difficult for us to hold on until foreign aid arrives, not to mention that this is high seas that does not belong to any country." Ace looked nervous. The lifeboat was moving slower and slower, and the pirate ship behind him was getting closer and closer.
"Why aren't you leaving?" Rose noticed something was wrong and screamed, turning her head tremblingly to look behind her. At this moment, she could almost see the figure on the deck of the multi-masted sailing ship.
"The engine is stalled. We can't move." Ace's sad and desperate voice reached the ears of Ross and Maori Kogoro, while Blackbeard's pirate ship was getting closer and closer to them.
In the dim cockpit, the three men looked at each other. As the sea breeze blew into the cockpit, a chilling laugh came into the cockpit. Without the telescope, they could see the grappling hooks and ropes in the pirates' hands.
The night was shrouded in the dark sea, and strong rays of light shone down, illuminating the lifeboat as if it were daytime.
Kogoro Mouri raised his hand to block the light and looked with his eyes slightly squinted. Before he could see clearly, he heard the sound of metal colliding.
A hook had been attached to the lifeboat.
Rose's heart sank to the bottom. She clenched the gun in her hand, but even if she had a gun, what would it matter? Should she abandon the ship and escape? However, there was an endless sea around her. Without wings, could she swim across this high seas?
The prey with nowhere to escape eventually fell into the trap, and the immobile lifeboat was quickly surrounded by pirate ships.
The battle-hardened pirates climbed onto the lifeboat via ropes. They cheered as they rushed to the cockpit. Gunshots suddenly rang out, piercing the darkness.
A chill mixed with dampness and saltiness swept over my entire body.
The boundless sea surface and the dark sky seem to merge into one. Under the cover of endless darkness, the waves surge rhythmically, making a "rustling" sound, as if humming an ancient and mysterious ballad.
The speed of the Augsius cruise ship gradually slowed down and finally stopped. A lifeboat full of people was slowly lowered to the sea surface and gradually sailed away as the lifeboat engine started.
The first ray of dawn penetrated the night sky, and the sea level began to turn pale, followed by a soft pink and bright orange intertwined together, and a new sun gradually rose, dispelling the darkness.
After a night of hard work, the gamblers were exhausted and went back to their rooms to catch up on their sleep.
The morning light shines through the glass and falls on Ooka Hongye. Ooka Hongye, who is full of thoughts but not sleepy at all, lies on the window, watching the cruise ship gradually going away. An indescribable feeling of loss surges in her heart, "Is Xiaoyueyue okay?"
"Miss Gray Rabbit, you are blessed by fate." The old butler Monobe said softly. He looked around vigilantly. Although the lifeboat was full of injured people, the injuries of each person were different. Those who kept groaning in pain might not be seriously injured.
Several eyes fell on Ooka Hongye, but Ooka Hongye just stared blankly out the window. The cruise ship was still in the dark.
Two figures, one big and one small, stood on the balcony of the gangster princess Mafia Karen's room.
"The Black Wolf came once, but was chased away by my people." Mafia Karen watched the lifeboat gradually disappear from sight. "Is this eye going to stop working after being used for a while?"
"How long do you want it to take?"
Mafia Karen smiled and changed the subject, "You should already know the identity of Pink Rabbit."
"how?"
"Nothing." Mafia Karen exhaled a breath of white air. "Pirates often appear in this sea area. If you are worried, I can arrange some people to follow the lifeboat."
"Then trouble you."
Mafia Karen chuckled, "You're welcome. Honestly, how long can I keep this up? I don't want to go back to that dark world."
"This is only temporary, and it can last as long as you want, as long as you can bear it."
"Is that the extent of the pain?"
"Ah."
Mafia Karen turned and "looked" at the girl beside him, "I am becoming more and more curious about the secrets hidden in you."
"Curiosity will kill the cat."
"Speaking of which, lions are also cats, and wolves are canines. But are you wearing other masks under this rabbit mask?" Mafia Karen tilted her head slightly to one side, her voice full of excitement and anticipation.
Mingyue glanced at Mafia Karen and turned to leave.
"Why, are you going to look for your two wolves?" Mafia Karen leaned against the balcony door. "A lot of people have asked me about you recently."
"Really?" Mingyue put her hand on the door handle and turned to look at Mafia Karen behind her.
"Why don't you stay with me? Some of these people might be hard to deal with."
"No." Mingyue slipped out of the door, avoiding the crowd and walked towards her destination, but at the corner she met the person she least wanted to meet.
Mingyue turned around to run, but was grabbed by a big hand, which covered her mouth and nose and dragged her into the darkness.
