Chapter 380 Nightfall

Chapter 380 Nightfall
The man in the suit was lying on the ground, his face covered with ridiculous cake cream. Only his eyes were exposed, staring forward with fear and resentment. I don't know who he was looking at...

He is dead.

Buried in cream, suffocated to death.

There was a brief silence in the banquet hall. The next moment, as if a drop of water fell into a frying pan, the crowd exploded instantly.

There were endless exclamations and screams. An unlucky man died alive and in a very grotesque way in front of everyone. This strange scene caused a huge commotion.

Song Que also stepped back immediately. Just now, he was the first person to rush forward to help, and he was also the one who personally felt the terrifying power exerted by the man in the suit.

The banquet hall was in chaos. Everyone was rushing to flee from the scene. The human instinct for survival made every cell in the body sound the alarm... Leave here, leave here quickly!

But... among the crowd that fled in panic, there were a few people who did not move.

Among them was Bai Yanliang who had reached the third floor. At this moment, he was leaning against the railing, looking at the crowd retreating like a swarm of ants.

There was also someone who went to the deck, but came back after hearing the noise, and appeared on the second floor, Yu Wenxuan.

And Gu Pingsheng, who appeared at the door of the banquet hall at some point and was walking against the crowd.

Song Que's shock lasted for a moment. He was not surprised at the death of the man in the suit, but recalled what Bai Yanliang said just now...

"He's dying."

That's right...

This man in a suit had just had a brief "conflict" with Yu Wenxuan. Bai Yanliang and I saw the whole process, but... why did Bai Yanliang say that?
Did he discover something?

Song Que thought carefully about the situation at that time. The man in the suit was indeed an unpleasant person, but everything that happened at that time was not enough for Bai Yanliang to immediately judge that "he was dying", and it was such a strange and inexplicable death.

The man in the suit had only offended Yu Wenxuan and the woman in the Gothic skirt. Since it wasn't Yu Wenxuan who did it, could it be that...

Song Que's eyes immediately swept around. He saw Yu Wenxuan appearing on the second floor, but did not see the woman in the Gothic skirt.

Originally, Yu Wenxuan was going to follow her to the deck...

In other words, she is alone now?

Song Que guessed that Bai Yanliang must have discovered something from the woman in the Gothic skirt, which was why he made such an assertion.

It can be basically concluded that the death of the man in the suit is closely related to her.

The crowd had completely dispersed, and soon, only a corpse and four men were left in the bustling banquet hall.

Gu Pingsheng was the first to come over from the door, and Bai Yanliang and Yu Wenxuan also went downstairs and came to the side of the corpse.

Gu Pingsheng didn't feel embarrassed, as if he was not the one who suddenly escaped from the Lucky Cafe.

Yu Wenxuan and Song Que didn't find fault with him at this moment. Although everyone knew that he had to give an explanation about the "fake Bai Yanliang" and the erasure of everyone's memory, the time was not now.

"He is indeed dead."

Yu Wenxuan didn't seem surprised and glanced down at the body of the man in the suit.

"You also knew that he would die?" Song Que glanced at him, then turned his head to look at Bai Yanliang.

"That woman's murderous intentions were obvious," Yu Wenxuan said casually, "right?"

He looked at Bai Yanliang.

Bai Yanliang nodded gently: "When she left with the plate, the look in her eyes was not concealed at all."

"Perhaps, she thought there was no need to hide it." Yu Wenxuan hinted, half squatting beside the corpse, "But he, at first glance, seemed to be suffocated by the cake..."

Following his voice, the eyes of the other three people also fell on the deceased.

"There was cake on his face, so it wasn't very obvious. But if you look closely, there was mushroom-like foam all over his mouth and nose," Song Que frowned and whispered, "Obviously, it's a sign of drowning."

and……

Song Que now thought that the huge force pressing down on the man in the suit was not caused by some invisible person pressing down on him and pinning him into the cake.

It's the water pressure, the huge water pressure that humans cannot resist at all.

At the moment he struggled, it seemed as if a sea was pressing down on the dead man. The boat was sailing under the moon, and the man was dead in the water...

The four of them seemed to sense something and turned their heads in unison.

I saw the pale moonlight appearing quietly between the gaps in the doors and windows.

The moon has come out.

The sea breeze also came in through the doors and windows, bringing with it a slightly cold and fishy smell.

Although the sea breeze is always fishy, ​​salty and bitter, the fishy smell felt by the four people at this moment is much more real.

It was as if the smell did not come from the vast ocean, but... right nearby.

"There's something wrong with that woman..." Song Que broke the silence.

He looked at Yu Wenxuan again: "Didn't you follow her to the deck? Why are you back?"

For Yu Wenxuan, the death of a person is definitely not as important as continuing to do what he is interested in.

He was clearly interested in the woman in the gothic skirt and was unlikely to suddenly come running back.

Or maybe... this Yu Wenxuan isn't really himself at all?

Song Que became suspicious.

"I have no obligation to report to you." As soon as Yu Wenxuan opened his mouth, Song Que dispelled his doubts.

It should be me.

"But I did lose her," Yu Wenxuan said calmly, but his eyes were clearly puzzled and thoughtful. He whispered, "She took the dinner tray to the deck. The difference between her and me was no more than ten seconds. She disappeared."

"There are two more people who haven't shown up until now." Gu Pingsheng, who had never spoken, suddenly said.

A total of six people were selected by Wu Ji this time. In addition to the four people present, Yu Sheng and Xu Zhifei should also be on this huge ship, but until now, the four have not discovered their whereabouts.

By mentioning them now, is Gu Pingsheng implying that their disappearance is related to the woman in the Gothic skirt?
At this moment, everyone suddenly staggered!
Such a huge cruise ship should not experience this level of turbulence, but it did.

The buffet food in the hall instantly rolled all over the floor, and the tables and chairs began to tilt and slide at the same angle.

So was the body on the floor.

Bai Yanliang and the other three reacted very quickly, or rather, they had long been accustomed to remaining highly alert and could react immediately at the slightest sign of trouble.

The boat seemed to be capsizing, and they each found a place to stabilize their bodies. The body of the man in the suit rolled over and over on the ground until it rolled under the moonlight that came in. The moonlight just happened to shine on the dead man's face.

The four people who had been staring at the deceased suddenly felt a buzz in their heads and their bodies froze.

The dead man's face suddenly changed into their own appearance, staring at them...

But at this moment, before the four people could see clearly, the ship shook violently again, and without exception, they felt that the things they were holding in their hands suddenly became extremely slippery.

Bai Yanliang was originally holding the handrail of the stairs. At this moment, a large amount of mucus seeped out of the handrail, and also on his hands and feet.

They couldn't stand steadily at all, and there was nothing to gain leverage on. The lights on the boat flickered a few times and then went out completely.

They were just passively and without any warning scattered by the turbulence.

Only one person remained in the hall, steadying himself.

Yu Wenxuan pulled out the dagger and stabbed it into the floor. At the moment when the huge bump occurred, he was the only one who did not grab anything on the boat. Instead, he chose to hold his dagger and stab it into the floor, and he himself lay on the floor.

At this moment, the turbulence disappeared, and the other people disappeared, as well as the dead body.

Yu Wenxuan picked up the dagger, sniffed the mucus on it, and looked around:

"You are indeed alive..."
