The person sitting in the main seat inside the room seemed to move; he curled his long, slender fingers and tapped the table twice.

"Knock knock".

All eyes in the room were focused on that person.

Just as Nanxi was about to listen to the man speak, a seashell suddenly flew straight from an unknown corner and hit the conference room door with a crisp sound.

"Thump!"

That sound was very loud.

It was enough to make the captain's face change drastically. His strange, white eyes stared straight at the peephole of the oak door. Even from a distance, it seemed as if he could see an eye in the doorway through that small piece of glass.

【Grass!】

[Which crazy person deliberately made noise? Now they've been discovered!]

[It would be good for other players if Nanxi knew more about the dungeons; everyone could share the information then.]

[If they were NPCs, they wouldn't need to use such a method. It's known that one member of the player's party has a grudge against Nanxi and intends to have an NPC kill her.]

"…Leng Nuo, I really despise you now."

The problem is, what if the captain discovers us? This captain doesn't look like someone to mess with...

The captain's face was grim, the wrinkles on his face deepening into cold, hard ravines.

Someone actually dared to eavesdrop on his conversation?

Hearing such a secret was especially blatantly a challenge to his authority.

This is absolutely unforgivable!

The captain moved with lightning speed, striding towards the door, grabbing the doorknob, and yanking it open!

Quiet.

An eerie silence.

There was no one in sight at the door of the open conference room; only the empty sea breeze remained.

If it weren't for the constantly swaying seashell on the ground, the captain might have thought that no one had ever been eavesdropping at the door.

……

Nanxi turned the corner of the stairs, stopped on the second floor, and looked at the figure in front of her with cool eyes.

"hehe."

Leng Nuo chuckled softly, her voice filled with undisguised malice: "You're quick on your feet. I thought you'd be discovered and killed right away."

Nanxi...

How lucky!

But if we're lucky this time, will we be so lucky next time something like this happens?

Leng Nuo couldn't help but chuckle softly again as she watched Nan Xi walk forward quite naturally.

"Snapped!"

A slap landed squarely on Leng Nuo's face, leaving her stunned for a moment.

When she finally realized what had happened, a wave of shame washed over her, and she stared at the Nanxi River with a frenzied rage: "You, how dare you!"

How dare you treat yourself with such humiliation!

Nanxi shrugged: "I hit you whenever I wanted, so what? I didn't kill you, did I?"

After slapping him, I immediately felt a sense of pleasure.

She takes revenge on Nanxi without holding back overnight.

That felt great.

I still can't stand people who deliberately sabotage their teammates in dungeons; slapping her would be too lenient.

[I find it truly terrifying. When I first met Leng Nuo, she was a normal person. How long has it been, and now she's become such a psychologically twisted person...]

[Nanxi didn't do anything the whole time; it was she who blamed all the suffering on Nanxi.]

Anyway, I'm really happy now!

"you!"

Leng Nuo trembled with anger at those words, her sinister gaze fixed on Nan Xi as she prepared to retaliate, only to see the ball appear on Nan Xi's shoulder.

The blood-red eyeballs had an indescribable eeriness, and a slit appeared below the pupil, revealing sharp teeth inside.

If Leng Nuo dares to make a move, Qiu Qiu will definitely not let her off easily.

Therefore, she could only watch helplessly as Nanxi walked past her, her face turning pale with anger, her nails digging deep into her palms...

Instead of waiting for the captain to search for the "peeping person," everything in Nanxi was unusually calm.

When she got back, she saw dark circles under her eyes again.

"Did you just go for a drive on the deck? If you're not busy, get some rest tonight. You have other work to do tomorrow morning."

Nanxi nodded in agreement: "Okay."

She did indeed return to her accommodation, where she shared a room with Xiao Meng and Leng Nuo.

Nanxi washed up and tidied herself up naturally, placed Qiuqiu on the bedside table before going to sleep and watching the others, then drifted off into a sweet dream...

Night fell.

Everything around fell silent; the only sound on the huge ferry was the engine.

In this peaceful and quiet place.

Suddenly, a sticky sound of footsteps appeared in the corridor, which was particularly noticeable in the deep night.

The footsteps stopped slowly as they reached their room door.

Xiao Meng was the first to open her eyes, feeling incredibly panicked. She didn't even bother to put on her shoes before running off the bed to Nanxi's bedside, her eyes red and swollen like a little rabbit.

"Sister Nanxi, I'm so scared, I... can I stay next to you for a while?"

She looked like a little girl, and her demeanor made her appear incredibly pitiful.

Xiao Meng sobbed as she looked at Nanxi on the bed.

The beautiful woman was breathing evenly, as if she were in a sweet dream.

Xiao Meng: ……

Is it appropriate for her to have such a deep sleep in a dangerous four-star dungeon?

"snort."

On the other bed, Leng Nuo sneered. The room was dimly lit, and even in that dim light, the scars on her face looked even more horrifying.

For a moment, it seemed like a vengeful ghost seeking death.

"Click."

The thing at the door seemed to slowly turn the doorknob of their room.

Xiao Meng immediately forgot about crying and was about to run to her bed when she saw the sleeping beauty in front of her quietly move aside.

Nanxi: "Come on up."

Xiao Meng was overjoyed and quickly ran to the bed: "Sister Nanxi, you're so kind! I love you the most!"

This kind and approachable scene made Leng Nuo's face stiffen.

Almost the instant Xiao Meng covered herself with the blanket, the door to the room was opened.

A ray of light shone through the open door, making the figure that had entered visible.

Nanxi lazily lifted her eyelids.

The person who came had dark circles under their eyes.

His dark circles were completely different from his appearance during the day. He looked like the corpse in the room, with all sorts of wounds on his face and body, as if he had been gnawed by something.

However, unlike the corpse in the cold storage, his wounds were rotten and white, covered with maggots.

hiss--

Xiao Meng couldn't help but gasp, but she held back from making a sound.

The man with dark circles under his eyes lifted his feet, exuding a chilling aura, and circled the room once.

During this time, he even lowered his head, his maggot-infested face only a palm's distance from Xiao Meng. Xiao Meng held her breath the entire time, her eyes tightly closed, unaware of what kind of treatment she would face if she made a sound.

Fortunately.

Dark circles under her eyes stood up and went around to Leng Nuo's bedside again.

Just a minute later, Leng Nuo noticed that the dark circles under her eyes seemed to be fixed on the headboard of her bed.

She opened her eyes.

What came into view was a sinister smile on the pale, rotting face with dark circles under his eyes. He lowered his head and slowly pulled a frozen arm out from under Leng Nuo's bed.

"What...is this?"
