National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

You have defeated a Lv9 Frilled Shark Mermaid and gained 520 Evolution Points.

Hmm, what an ambiguous amount...

Thank you, Brother Shake, for the holiday red envelope.

Given that so many eyes are watching, it's impossible to break them down piece by piece, so we have no choice but to let them go.

The red foam gradually disappeared into blood. People were thrown about in the hall, but there was silence except for the occasional suppressed sobs and the voice of one of the culprits who caused this mess.

"Clatter..."

Red seawater dripped from the ends of her hair.

The remaining white shirt was stained pink and clung to the body. It was torn in several places, revealing the rolled-up wounds underneath. The blood disappeared into the waistband of the trousers and then dripped down the trouser legs to the ground.

He stood idly in the center of the water tank, which was now just a round base, his chest rising and falling with his heavy breathing.

"Clang..."

He kicked off a section of the tail, stepped off the base, and walked towards the crowd.

Do you have any clothes to change into? Excuse me.

He tried to raise his hand to wipe the bloodstains from his jaw, but halfway up, he lowered it, whether from exhaustion or the severity of his injury.

He shook his head and let the blood drip down on its own.

"...Perhaps we need a doctor."

Inside the water tank, Sean patted the transparent wall and pointed to the two wounds on Ren Yi's side that stretched almost from his ribs to his lower back.

In fact, if necessary, any substance can heal itself at any time without leaving a scar.

But he didn't do that.

He needed an excuse to approach Aurora, who was wearing a white coat and was clearly a medical professional.

Furthermore...

A person who fights to the death against a monster, bleeding and seriously injured, pays a heavy price, is called a "warrior".

But someone who can defeat a monster one-on-one and instantly recover from their injuries is also considered a monster.

What he wanted was privilege, not to be treated like another monster!

"Da, da, da..."

Wonka waded through the pale red puddles and walked up to Renyi, his monocle reflecting the light.

"A wonderful performance, young man. What's your name?"

"Zhang San."

"...Zhang San, your physical skills far surpass your tray-carrying technique. What I need most are capable people like you."

Wonka pulled a handkerchief from his breast pocket and handed it to him.

He took it casually, but instead of using it to cover his still-bleeding wound, he used it to wipe his face.

Wonka: "...cough."

"From now on, you are no longer a waiter, but a VIP on this ship. The investigation into Heck's murder is now entirely in your hands."

Some people wanted to object, but after looking at the sand scattered all over the ground, they shut their mouths.

At this time.

Wonka suddenly seemed to remember something, raised his cane, and said mysteriously:

"By the way... my room and Mrs. Jasmine's room are strictly off-limits, but you can go anywhere else you like."

"OK."

He readily agreed and casually stuffed Wonka's handkerchief into his pocket.

The captain of the [Narwhal] narrowed his eyes behind his glasses, said nothing more, and simply turned to Aurora, who hadn't revealed any flaws from beginning to end, and waved his hand:

"Miss Aurora, please take this...Mr. Zhang San to the medical room to treat his wounds."

"Mikaje, Delphina, your mother needs to rest. Help her back to her room."

"But, Father—"

Mikaje wanted to say something, but Delphine shook his hand to stop him, and the two children helped Mrs. Morley upstairs.

Something's definitely up...

We'll investigate you again after the air conditioner is opened!

Renyi accepted Aurora's help, and his gaze swept across the crowd, meeting that of Nathan, who had been wiping a glass behind the bar for over half an hour.

Seeing that Nathan nodded slightly to indicate that he knew what to do, he limped toward the stairs.

...Hopefully, there will be an elevator in the next illusion.

With the Wonka family gone, everything was settled.

Chaos then broke out in the hall. Some people frantically tried to remove the pieces of flesh from their bodies, some belatedly vomited, and others furtively picked up chunks of meat from the ground.

In stark contrast to this scene of devastation, besides Klaus and his group, Noah was also present.

He remained relaxed, leaning against the third of the way down the stairs, an unlit cigar dangling from his mouth.

When anyone passed by him—

"I know what happened."

"..."

He stopped walking, slowly turned his head, and looked at Noah with an inquisitive gaze.

However......

This guy just blinked at the slightly guilty Renyi, then shrugged nonchalantly, with a "I'm just spitting out some trash, don't take it seriously" look on his face, and even pretended to blow smoke rings.

Ren Yi turned his head with a cold expression. "Let's go."

This is the style of a riddle maker...

His suspicions about this guy being Nyarlathotep or some other damn thing grew even stronger.

......

The third floor was very quiet; the thick carpet absorbed all the footsteps.

Push open the door to the medical room.

A faint smell of alcohol wafted over, and as I took a deep breath, I felt my soul being cleansed—

It would be even better if it smelled like disinfectant!

The environment here is much better than the temporary hospital from last season. It's spacious and bright, with cabinets full of medicine, beds that are more comfortable than the ones they stayed in on the Abyss, and reclining chairs and instruments that look impressive but are actually pretty useless.

He picked up two metal plates at random, and in his opinion, this was the most practical one: an electric shock plate.

"Please sit down."

Aurora helped Renyi sit down by the hospital bed and raised her hand to use her healing power to heal the wound, but was stopped.

"etc."

"Please bandage it with gauze first."

"Huh?" Aurora asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Wrap it up thickly, just wrap it up however you like." The captain added while glancing at the medicine cabinets, thinking that perhaps some of the medicines had special effects and could be taken away. "The more serious it looks, the better, it's best if some blood comes out."

Aurora didn't ask any more questions. The green light in her palm quietly dissipated, and she picked up a clean gauze and wrapped it around her hand.

Although she knew it would heal soon, she still moved very gently until she had bandaged Renyi up like a half-mummy.

"alright."

Aurora cut the gauze and tied a neat knot.

Renyi glanced down at his "masterpiece" on his waist and left hand, and nodded in satisfaction.

Before Aurora could react, he reached out and pressed hard on the freshly bandaged wound.

"Hmm!"

Fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead, and his already pale lips became even paler.

The bloodstains on the gauze quickly spread out, merging into a patch of red.

"don’t worry."

"That way, everyone will know that I'm badly injured."

He took a breath, and a gentle smile slowly crept onto his lips.

"If anyone wants me dead, they can...do it with more confidence."
