Time passed little by little.

As the sky darkened, the passengers on the deck of the Astorogis began to slowly return to their cabins.

Passengers who were not fully entertained at first chose to stop in the corridor after the meal, chatting and laughing, continuing the unsatisfactory topic. Previously, the deck was not only for enjoying the sea view, but also for social activities, with their own purposes. , made new friends.

During the period, the coolies can occasionally be seen. In the exchanges and cabins, most of them are hired by the guests to carry large luggage on board, or under the supervision of the supervisor, they do cleaning work and go to the restaurant to deal with the kitchen. Leftover garbage.

But gradually, when the time officially entered the night, the lively sound in the corridor became smaller and smaller, until finally, it subsided and returned to the original silence.

During all this time, no one noticed that there was always a figure of a little wolf cub, hidden in the blind corner of the field of vision, scanning each of them over and over again with scrutiny eyes.

But as for the result...

Liao Zixuan was a little disappointed. He didn't find any suspicious people. Even at the risk of being alerted, he lost the player's detection skills one by one, but the character panel that was given out, all the passengers on board were very low-level ordinary people.

By the way, the female astrologer who was on the deck before, Liao Zixuan has never seen her in the back. I don't know if she stayed in the room and never came out.

so...

Who is this intruder?

In my impression, the intruder appeared when the sky was completely dark, and there is still a short while before that level. Taking advantage of this effort, Liao Zixuan finally recalled carefully, sorting out clues from the "last" experience.

The most intuitive, of course, was the two words from the "intruder" that he heard before his consciousness disappeared.

The other party's voice was hoarse, and Liao Zixuan had to describe it as if his throat had been injured.

The intruder's first sentence was "die, witch."

The second sentence is...

It seems like a shocking sound after seeing something completely unexpected?

Leaving aside the second sentence, Liao Zixuan was completely confused, but the first sentence gave him extremely useful information.

Could the "witch" here mean the little girl, Vivian?

So the other party will launch an attack, and the motive for breaking into the room late at night to assassinate is... a witch?

and many more.

So, is this "intruder" still from the good guys camp? Because as we all know, in the eyes of the world, "witch" is a symbol of misfortune and disaster.

Taking this as a breakthrough, Liao Zixuan followed his reasoning and made the outline of the incident a bit clearer.

which is...

This "intruder" is likely to be the guardian of the Astorogis? Or maybe it's a hidden powerful person on the ship who has a deep obsession and hatred for witches.

Inadvertently, using unknown means, after realizing Vivian's identity as a witch, did you plan this later, including poisoning and assassination in the middle of the night?

The more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, that Liao Zixuan could still find evidence.

It can prove that the "intruder" is not a long-planned, but the key information of a temporary decision, that is, the other party does not know the existence of Xinyan.

Although the little wolf cub couldn't move at that time, he could still sense the surprise and tension when the other party broke into the room and found that Xinyan was still guarding Vivian.

It can also be seen from this that the hard power of this "intruder" is not strong, at least not to the point of crushing.

Combining all kinds of...

If the possibility of "Zhao Jie" is ruled out.

A figure that Liao Zixuan had subconsciously ignored for a long time quietly surfaced.

Could it be... him?

...

...

The dark clouds covered the moon, making the already dark night even more invisible.

In the dead of night, most of the people on the ship fell asleep, and there was no need to worry about the sailing of the Astorogis. Naturally, the "Heart of the Sea" had full and automatic adjustment.

On the cabin floor, in the corridor where Vivienne's room was located, a faint footstep sounded in vain.

Even in such a quiet night, if Liao Zixuan was not attentive, and he was just waiting for the rabbit, it would be difficult to catch it. It could be seen that the owner of the footsteps was very cautious.

Moreover, the other party is still deliberately avoiding the lights in the corridor and moving forward against the shadows by the wall.

But after all, there are always one or two places that can be completely covered by the light. Finally, when it is very close to Vivian's room, it is the next corner...

Through the yellow-brown light, Liao Zixuan could see clearly the appearance of the owner of the footsteps.

and...

It was exactly what he had guessed.

The tattered luggage, the windbreaker that covers the whole body, the hood that covers the head, and...

Under the hood, illuminated by the light, flashed past the bandaged face.

It's the one, during the day...

Weird coolie!

The first time I dropped the goods, it can be said that I didn’t hold the goods firmly, but in the second experience, I happened to meet Vivian, and I didn’t hold the goods firmly in my arms, and there was an extremely small probability of throwing them away. After all, there is only one possibility.

Because of the discovery of Vivian's "magic"

After becoming "female", she was too nervous and shocked, so she lost her hand for a while.

In this way, everything can be explained. In the first experience, the supervisor and the coolies also heard Zhao Jie's chat with them, and naturally knew that Zhao Jie strongly recommended the water to Vivian. Cook fish this dish.

As a coolie, he could have gone into and out of the back kitchen of the restaurant to clean up the kitchen waste, so there was a chance of poisoning.

In the shadows, the little wolf cub shook his head.

He should have thought of it earlier.

One is that he was confused by "Zhao Jie", and the other is that this eccentric coolie was really too cowardly in his two experiences. No resistance, let anyone slaughter.

Who would have thought that such a person would be...

brush!

The little wolf cub moved.

Now that the real identity of the intruder has been confirmed, then Liao Zixuan decided to first try to communicate with the other party to see if he could resolve the hostility caused by the identity of the "witch" through dialogue.

"Who!"

The moment Liao Zixuan threw the "Detection" skill at the opponent, as expected, the stronger the character, the more sensitive he was to this kind of thing. The bandaged coolie immediately tightened his body and glanced around.

In the end, the coolie kept his eyes on the eyes, the eyes exposed from the gaps in the bandages, with doubts and strong vigilance in their eyes, looked as if they had been in ambush for a long time, waiting for one of their own...

youth?

"If I remember correctly, your name is... An, right?" Liao Zixuan spoke first.

At the same time, I looked at the panel of the bandaged coolie given by the detection skill.

【? ? ? 】

[Level: lv40]

【Occupation: Witch】

[Status: Severe burns,? ? ? 】

[Skills: Pray, Quick Learning, Intermediate Melee Mastery, Advanced Fire Element Affinity,? ? ? 】

[Danger level: ... none]

The expression on Liao Zixuan's face was the same as before, but in reality, the more he looked at this "An"'s panel prompt, the more surprised he became.

witch?

Also a witch! ?

So it's her, not him?

And, the level of danger... none? What does this mean? And that last weird note?

Instead of helping Liao Zixuan, the detection skills made him more and more unsure of what to do, and Liao Zixuan had to suppress the chaotic thoughts in his heart because the other party spoke up.

"Who are you? Are you waiting for me on purpose?" A familiar hoarse voice sounded.

"Yes, my name is Bai, as for waiting for you... Indeed, because I know what you're going to do next, if I'm not wrong, you want to break in, you found out during the day, another person on the boat The witch's room?"

Liao Zixuan said calmly, only to see that after his words, the vigilance of Cong An on the opposite side was stronger.

then...

"Don't be nervous, can I hear why first? You are a witch yourself, but... you want to kill each other? Are all of you witches like this?"

The bandage coolie named "An"... the bandage witch, she is staring at Liao Zixuan.

From the young man, she felt a strong sense of oppression, and from the perspective of the other party, she completely blocked her way. Obviously, if she did not speak clearly, she would not easily let herself go, or take action.

"Who the hell are you?" the bandaged witch asked again with aggravated tone.

"You can understand me as the guardian of the Astorogis. My duty is to protect the safety of this ship and avoid all dangerous factors. Obviously, Miss An, you are going to do it next. It’s very dangerous, very dangerous.”

"Dangerous? That witch disguised with someone else's face is the real danger!" With a hoarse voice, An warned Liao Zixuan.

"If you are really the guardian of this ship, then you should go with me now to kill that witch, you have no idea what the organization behind her is, where and where they appeared. There will be a disaster, and she will show up here, which proves that the organization is likely to have its eye on the Astorogis!"

"Wait, Miss An, I don't understand, what is... a witch disguised with someone else's face?"

Liao Zixuan frowned, because the other party's words were too bizarre, so he couldn't help but approached a few steps to question.

But, what he didn't expect was that it was because of these few steps.

I only saw that the bandaged witch on the opposite side moved her nose slightly, and then her expression changed greatly in an instant, and the original vigilance in her eyes instantly turned into a strong hostility.

"No! You lied!"

"You also have a witch's lingering fragrance on your body. This smell...only possible if you are close to your body all the time! You, you are not the guardian of this ship at all, you are the person of that organization! You and She's a gang!"

Negotiations broke down.

But at least Liao Zixuan understood two points.

First, the other party actually identified Vivian's "witch" identity by smell, and could also smell the residual witch fragrance on her body?

The second is...

"You..." This time it was from Liao Zixuan, and he couldn't hold back his surprise.

because only see,

The bandaged witch, after confirming that she was the enemy, turned on the battle form.

And the first to be summoned, the weapon the opponent is holding is...

Black sickle.

This corresponds to what the little wolf cub saw vaguely in "The First Time".

But now, when Liao Zixuan, who is in a normal state, can clearly see all the clear appearance of the black sickle in the hands of "An", the reason for his cry is...

This black sickle is actually the same weapon used by Vivian under the second personality...

Although it cannot be said that the appearances are exactly the same, but... at least there are 70-80% similarities!

So to speak.

Liao Zixuan always felt that the bandaged eyes of the other party also had a feeling of deja vu.

So, what is this...

There was no time for Liao Zixuan to think about it anymore, because the opponent's black sickle had already arrived in the blink of an eye, and the battle between the two was imminent.

After Vivian's promotion to a witch, the little wolf cub also took a sip of soup and was upgraded to level 35. As a forbidden monster that is rarer and more precious than the "witch" profession, although the opponent is 5 levels higher than him, Liao Zixuan still went all the way. Pressed easily.

Seeing that, they are getting more and more disadvantaged, and they are about to lose. The bandaged witch named "An" seems to be fighting to the death. After all, it can only be like this. .

After taking an opportunity to temporarily separate, Liao Zixuan only heard that the other party spit out two syllables in a hoarse voice.

"Pray!"

And the follow-up, because the voice was too small and fast, Liao Zixuan could not hear clearly, and could only vaguely hear a few words "I would like to offer...as...a sacrifice..."

Liao Zixuan's expression became a lot more serious. He wanted to interrupt, but it was too late. There is no doubt that every witch has her own witch skills. Obviously, the one named "Prayer" is the witch ability of "An". .

In an instant, an unparalleled huge power suddenly burst out from An's body, which was several times higher than that just now. This is the power of the witch.

But correspondingly, the stronger the power, the greater the cost, especially for the witch's ability similar to the "explosive seed". Liao Zixuan noticed that the bandages on An's body were overflowing with blood in many places, and the soil-gray The bandages were dyed dark red.

"Die, witch's lackey!"

With hatred and anger, the strengthened An slashed at Liao Zixuan with a full-strength scythe. Liao Zixuan didn't dare to push him further, and he also used all the strength of his whole body to meet him with his fists.

Then.

An unexpected scene happened to both of them.

Only seeing Liao Zixuan's fist, he easily smashed the seemingly aggressive black sickle with one punch, and rushed, his aura did not diminish, directly...

It penetrated the bandaged witch's chest.

"what!?"

"what..."

The eyes of both sides revealed disbelief. Liao Zixuan looked at it in surprise. The blood hole in the witch's body was over by the time he realized that something was wrong, and he couldn't take back his strength at all.

On the other hand, the bandage witch called "An".

"You... what the hell... did you... do to me... pray for... not to work..."

"I can't...can't die...I haven't...rescued...Ellie...love..."

thump.

The eyes that had lost their brilliance were completely dim, and the bloody corpse fell at Liao Zixuan's feet.

However.

Before Liao Zixuan came back to his senses and figured out what happened.

what happened...

Tearing, weightlessness, suffocation...

All the feelings he had experienced "for the first time" suddenly emerged from him.

Vivian!

Could it be that something happened to Vivian!

Liao Zixuan stumbled and rushed back to the little girl's room, but when he opened the door, the scene presented was...

"Sister Vivian! Sister Vivian! You, wake up! Don't scare Xinyan, woohoo, wake up, wake up!"

Xinyan, who had transformed into a human form, was like an ant on a hot pot, crying anxiously, and surrounded Vivian on the bed.

When Liao Zixuan looked anxiously on the little girl...

only saw.

As if from under the skin, a bed of blood spilled from a ruptured blood vessel, and... a noticeable dent in the chest.

"Brother! You, you are finally back, think of a way, save, save Sister Vivian!"

"A few minutes ago, Vivian suddenly became like this. I said I was going to find Xiao Hei, but she stopped me, saying... that Xiao Hei wouldn't let her go out and kept her there. In the room, no matter what happens, she can't go out..."

"Sister Vivian has been enduring the pain. I also tried to treat it, but these injuries seem to be born out of nowhere. I...my flames don't work at all!"

"Brother, you...you think of a way, brother, Xiaohei...Xiaohei!? You, what's wrong with you, don't scare me!"

Xin Yan's cry and panic echoed in his ears.

In the last scene, Little Loli ran towards her figure in horror.

The feeling of being deprived of consciousness, sinking into the deep sea, and being enveloped in darkness is getting stronger and stronger.

And this time, it was different from the "first time".

In the dimness, when the consciousness was swallowed by the deep sea, at the bottom of the ocean where the five fingers could not be seen, in the darkness, there was a faint blue appearing.

That's... a pair of eyes.

A pair of faint blue, with a mysterious depth like the stars in the night sky, and like the stars, with eyes that are thousands of miles away, can only make people look up, but they are out of reach.

A pair of eyes, like stagnant pools, as still as still water, without the slightest emotion.

finally...

The dark tide submerged everything.

thump.
