Although it was good that he didn’t have to share a room with anyone else for this trial, there was no place that was absolutely safe in the trial space.
Song qingxiao turned around warily and turned off the lights in the bathroom. She looked out through the glass behind her and saw the endless night sky.
Tonight, the thick clouds blocked the moonlight and the stars, and the night sky seemed to have been splashed with thick ink.
She pressed the switch again, and the mirror light made a ‘zzzzzzz’ sound of electric current. After two zzzzzz sounds, it lit up again, and her blurry reflection was reflected on the glass, as well as the mirror behind her.
Song qingxiao raised her hand and touched the glass. The glass was cold and thick. It must be because the ship was traveling on the sea and had to withstand the wind and waves, so the structure was particularly detailed.
Perhaps it was because the temperature of the air-conditioning in the room outside had been raised, the frost on the fan blades at the outlet melted faster, and the dripping sound was more rapid than before. It sounded like someone was coming in.
After observing the room, song qingxiao turned off the lights and came out. There was no one outside. The open door swayed in the sea breeze, making a squeaking sound.
However, his cautious nature still made him carefully check the surroundings again. He even bent over to check the bottom of the bed while holding the bed.
The bed was supported by her, and the bedding and other things on it were a little wet. The bed shook twice, making an ear-piercing sound.
The room wasn’t very bright, and there was a large shadow under the bed, but there was no one hiding. She was relieved and left the room. After locking the door, she walked along the corridor and back to the deck.
There were lights on the deck. During the day, everyone was nervous, but at night, it seemed to be a lot more lively.
Boss Zhou, who had hired people to go to the island, divided the hired people into two groups, but he was not stingy. At night, he provided beer and some food to go with the beer.
Many people on the ship were sitting in groups of two or three. Even the group of men who had threatened them during the day were sitting outside. The man in the suit, the young man number six, and number seven, who had disappeared earlier, had successfully joined in with the help of wine and food.
Song qingxiao didn’t join in rashly. She chose a side of the ship where the light couldn’t reach and stood quietly.
It was getting more and more lively outside. Song qingxiao remembered that Mr. Zhou had mentioned during the day that they were about to reach the island. When they were lining up for food, someone had said that after Mr. Zhou’s business, he would be able to eat and drinkwell when he returned. She was not surprised by these people’s happy looks.
The notification in his mind did not change. It was still about the mysterious sealing magic array.”Mission? [ completion: 2000 points ].
From the looks of it, the real mission would probably be after they entered the island.
Judging from the shape of the seal-like magic array, this trip to the island should be filled with danger. The uncertainty of the mission also made it full of mysteries.
She needed to have a certain understanding of the island’s situation before she came to the island. Only then would she be prepared in advance to deal with what would happen later and improve her survival rate.
The people who were hired outside the ship obviously didn’t know much about Mr. Zhou. No matter how much they tried to worm information out of him, they might not be able to get anything useful.
The ones who really knew more should be Mr. Zhou himself, the woman next to him who seemed to be his assistant, and the group of scholarly-looking men and women following him.
Song qingxiao waited patiently. The people drinking outside were getting excited, and some of them began to sing. Their voices were not pleasant, but on the vast sea, it broke the monotonous feeling of only the sea breeze and the sound of the ships, and made them more lively.
After someone started singing, the others followed suit. Their voices spread far and wide. After more than an hour, not only did it not quiet down, but it also seemed to ignite everyone’s interest.
Life on the sea was boring, and there was almost a fight during the day, which caused the atmosphere to be very depressing. Now that they had finally gotten high, the group of people started to play games. Even the group of men who were sitting far away from them with guns seemed to be affected by the mood and slowly sat over.
The circle of people sitting together grew bigger and bigger. Song qingxiao stood in the shadows and waited for nearly half an hour. When the people in the cabin heard the commotion outside, they finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and someone came out.
This time, it was not a bodyguard, but a man in his thirties. With the light, song qingxiao recognized him at a glance. He was one of the people who had been with Mr. Zhou during the day. He was closer to Mr. Zhou than the people on the deck.
The second and third people came out one after another, and the noise outside became louder.
After some time, a figure in a dark blue dress appeared at the entrance of the cabin. It was the woman who had followed Mr. Zhou.
Song qingxiao heaved a sigh of relief. She had been waiting by the side of the ship for a long time. After being exposed to the sea breeze for a whole night, her hands and feet were a little cold. She moved her wrists and watched the woman brush her hair. She probably didn’t like the noisy atmosphere. She stood at the entrance of the cabin for a while and walked towards song qingxiao on the left.
He had been waiting for this opportunity for the whole night. Song Qing’s small hands formed a seal, and when the woman came closer, his lips moved slightly, and he quickly finished reciting the ‘confrontation’ spell.
His mental energy formed a small domain and trapped the woman’s legs.
The woman was forced to stop for a moment. This pause happened in a flash, and she almost muttered, “”I’m sleepy.” The moment he said that, song qingxiao retracted her spiritual power.
However, in that instant, although the woman’s feet stopped, her body’s instinctive forward inertia still made her lean forward. As soon as her feet stopped in mid-air, she almost fell.
“Be careful,” he warned.
Song qingxiao stepped forward and supported her.
The moment she held her arm, song qingxiao felt the woman’s arm muscles tremble slightly. After knowing that someone was holding her, she quickly retracted her instinctive reaction.
From this point of view, the woman should be a martial arts practitioner, and her reaction time was not bad. Even without song qingxiao’s support, she should not have fallen.
Mr. Zhou had a group of people who looked like scholars and armed bodyguards with him. Even this seemingly sexy and graceful female assistant was a martial arts practitioner. What exactly was Mr. Zhou’s background?
The woman had a light after-shower scent on her, and her hair was slightly wet. After song qingxiao held her, she quickly stood up and looked down at her feet. Then, she turned to look at song qingxiao. After a while, she smiled and said,”
“Thank you,” she said..
