C18 The Sad Fulner

The course of events was taking the direction Ferre was most unwilling to take.

The elevator did not make any noise as it descended.

Both the elevator and the outside of the elevator were completely silent.

The blonde young man raised his head and looked up at the falling numbers, getting more and more anxious.

He then turned around to look at the girl with straight black hair who looked as calm as if she was going to a supermarket.

It was none other than the one who caused Ferre to be so anxious.

It was Yao Huhu, the national researcher who was recognized by the Allied Alliance as a talent for wisdom and important contribution.

Ferre had been misunderstanding her from the beginning.

She had initially thought that Yao Hu's completely unfamiliar attitude towards her was purely a psychological warfare.

She had claimed that she was aboard the Golden Child in order to study the subject of Jack Lee, known as the evilest and craziest Man Killer Fiend in history.

This kind of assertion was also as simple as a secret code.

All the unfamiliar, ignorant, and indifferent things that Yao Huhu had shown before were all the favorite games of those who had power, "A straightforward person speaks in secret" and conversation.

That was why Ferre, who had a favor to ask of her, would cooperate with Yao Hu's topic.

He even took the initiative to lower his status in order to talk about the topic of Jack Lee that he had received at the last minute.

However...

Yao Huhu was not acting, nor was she playing a psychological game with him, but it was real!

She really did not know what kind of boat the "Gold Child" was.

It was unbelievable that she would actually board this ship to study Jack's experience!

She couldn't even see the mark on her wrist.

It seemed as if she had truly not yet entered the boundary of "this world" as the rumors said.

Then, what was the point of following her now?

What was the point of following a girl who knew nothing and forgot everything?

[Well... I guess it is still useful. At least, the girl beside her is useful.]

Ferre knew that he wouldn't be able to obtain the "That Treasure" on the ship by himself.

The man beside this girl would definitely be of great help to him.

The problem was that the old man only listened to Yao Huhu.

Now, not only did they not rush to the location of the treasure, but they also went to the lowest passenger cabin that was even more troublesome.

How troublesome! There was not much time left!

"Aiyayaya, it's really quiet. There is no sound at all."

Due to the existence of the old man in the Tang suit who was silent beside the girl.

Ferre could only hold back the complaints in his heart and did not dare to say them out loud.

However, if he did not say anything, Ferre would feel uncomfortable all over.

"No one is pressing the elevator outside. No one seems to have come out. Maybe the situation outside is worse than we thought."

...""

No one answered.

Although his words didn't get a response, he wasn't scolded either.

The arrogant Ferre plucked up the courage to pull out the stopper in his mouth.

"It's not too late to go back now. Let's go back to the eleventh floor!"

In the end, Ferre still spoke the truth and objected to the idea of going to the bottommost passenger's cabin where the "unknown infectious disease epidemic" had occurred.

The "Unknown Infectious Disease Epidemic" must have been fabricated.

The purpose was to cut off the communication between the lowest passenger cabin and other passengers. They would isolate a small group of people in a normal and proper way.

This was nibbling away at the more than one thousand passengers on the "Gold Child."

Yao Huhu's logical analysis of this point was not wrong.

It was just that Yao Huhu could not understand what the role of "cleaner" was in the bottommost passenger's cabin.

It was definitely not a murderer or even a human being.

...""

The girl with long black hair was still walking by herself, completely ignoring the words of the blonde young man.

"Besides, even if there are thousands of lives on this ship, they still won't be able to compare to that treasure. You have to calm down, big sister. You have to know that it's a y... Bang!"

Before Ferre could finish his sentence, his head was stuck to the smooth wall of the elevator.

He had gone too far with his words.

The old man in the Tang suit did not want the girl with long black hair to listen to any topics or words related to "That."

He did not care about the old man in the Tang suit and Ferre's crosstalk performance at all.

Yao Huhu's gaze continued to focus on the number of floors that was declining. Ferre's words could not shake her decision at all.

"Anyway, the treasure you want is gold. So you can't just sit by and do nothing. After all, the murderers' goal is to sink this ship."

Obviously, Ferre's words did not attract the attention of the young lady researcher in front of him.

The old man in the Tang suit let go of the blonde young man who was pressed against the wall in satisfaction.

Sigh, so that means thousands or tens of thousands of lives were lost.

It was even more valuable than hundreds of thousands of lives in the city. How could that treasure be gold or something like that?

Ferre didn't want to suffer any more due to the pain on his face. He just replied with a few words and rubbed his cheeks.

"Yes... yes, yes. I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong. I can't convince a stubborn girl like you at all. It really hurts my head."

The last two sentences were said in a low voice that would not be heard by Yao Huhu and the old man in Tang Yi.

"Since Big Sis wants to go, then go ahead. I don't want to lie outside the window and enjoy the sea breeze."

Ferre shrugged his shoulders and gave up trying to convince the girl with long black hair.

He, who had just met her, could not convince Yao Hu, let alone the old man in Tang Yi.

He did not even have the time to talk about it.

Just as they were at a loss, the elevator had already stopped.

The number displayed on the elevator also fell to "4."

The fourth floor was where the lowest passenger cabin was located.

They had arrived.

The last chance to get out disappeared along with the crisp sound of the elevator's lock.

Yao Huhu was blocked by the old man in the Tang suit, while the blond man dodged behind Yao Huhu without any dignity.

Yao Hu remained calm and rational even though she was sandwiched between two nervous and vigilant men.

Even if she happened to see a "murder scene" at this moment.
