Misplacement Game Chapter 34

Arc 2: Luxury Cruise
Chapter 34

Xu Ziyue asked: "Do you know anything about the Westminster cruise s.h.i.+p?"

To his surprise, Zhang Zhang actually nodded. Xu Ziyue was already prepared to receive a negative response and was surprised to receive such unexpected good news.

"The Westminster cruise s.h.i.+p……. I remember reading that there was a cruise s.h.i.+p with the same name that had an incident fifty years ago. The s.h.i.+p encountered a tsunami and before it happened no one on board realised that something was wrong. Not even the lifeboats were dispatched. Nearly two thousand people on board lost their lives………. When they were found later, the rescuers only found pieces of their bodies. Of course, there were also many that couldn't be found but the probability of them being alive is very slim."

Zhang Zhang raised his index finger, "I also noticed something. That Westminster cruise s.h.i.+p is the one we are standing on right now. The family emblem in the book is also everywhere on this s.h.i.+p." He looked at Xu Ziyue and smiled, "You're also looking for information about the Westminster cruise s.h.i.+p because you noticed this, right?"

Xu Ziyue nodded vaguely. He quickly brushed off Zhang Zhang's question and changed the topic, "So we're actually on a ghost s.h.i.+p?"

Zhang Zhang spread open his hands and shrugged, "I guess so."

Austin probably belonged to the group of people whose bodies couldn't be found. Xu Ziyue had touched his face, and Austin himself said that he wasn't the same as those things living on the s.h.i.+p so he should be alive…… Austin didn't lie to him, but he was definitely also hiding a lot of things.

Afterall, how could someone still be so good-looking after fifty years?! And so young!

But Xu Ziyue at least felt a little more rea.s.sured. You see? Austin didn't seem to be lying to him.

Those causing trouble on the s.h.i.+p were those who had died on this s.h.i.+p and Austin was the owner of the cruise s.h.i.+p so they would naturally still obey to Austin's orders.

Of course, what he had heard from Austin was that these things would listen to Austin because he didn't like to meddle but if Austin tried to stop them, it may result in a different outcome.

Xu Ziyue thought for a moment and felt that it was understandable. Afterall, they were all ghosts. Things like reasoning and logic didn't work on them. Xu Ziyue felt that if he died and turned into a ghost but still had to follow the commands of his living boss everyday…….Xu Ziyue sincerely felt that he also couldn't do it himself.

"I only got the stamps for the restaurant and the library. Can you tell me about the situation with the other activities? Let's exchange information. The things I told you earlier would have taken you a lot of time to find."

Xu Ziyue looked at him helplessly, "I don't think I can match." He still told Zhang Zhang everything he knew.

Zhang Zhang listened and fell into thought for a moment, "Do you know of a way to make money on this s.h.i.+p? After listening to it, I think as long as there's money the casino and duty-free shops shouldn't be a problem."

"………..I can't guarantee that there won't be any problems." Xu Ziyue's heart fluttered a little. Afterall, now that he thought about it, he had always brought Austin along to these activities. Austin was practically a human shaped cheat. It was the type that would help him avoid danger without his knowledge.

Zhang Zhang waved his hand and said: "It's okay. I'll also be asking others."

After Xu Ziyue parted ways with Zhang Zhang, as usual he ate his breakfast and took away another share.

Before returning, he also looked around the restaurant but still couldn't find the tour guide. Xu Ziyue could only leave feeling slightly disappointed.

He still wanted to find the tour guide to verify Zhang Zhang's words. Although he felt that Zhang Zhang should be telling the truth, sometimes information written in a book may not be the whole story. Perhaps there were some details that were hidden or overlooked.

And the information that may have been left out or hidden would usually be pa.s.sed around through word of mouth or through a personal diary. Very rarely would it be included in a book for others to read.

When he returned to Austin's room, Austin was already awake. He was not only awake, he had already washed up and changed and was sitting in his wheelchair waiting for Xu Ziyue.

Xu Ziyue's plated up the breakfast with burning cheeks: "Good morning."

"Mn." Austin nodded. He looked at Xu Ziyue with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

The way he looked at Xu Ziyue made Xu Ziyue feel that he probably already knew about him coming in secretly to touch his face.

Feeling guilty, Xu Ziyue didn't dare look at Austin in the eye. Although he also didn't dare look back when Austin stared at him before, this was an entirely different situation.

Austin saw that Xu Ziyue was nervous, so he took the initiative to start a conversation.

"I'll take you to the activities on the ninth and seventh floor today okay?"

With Austin's gentle questioning tone, Xu Ziyue who had no immunity couldn't help but nod his head.

After breakfast Xu Ziyue and Austin visited the duty-free shops on the ninth floor.

Xu Ziyue knew he just had to randomly buy something to receive a stamp and that was what he originally planned to do but Austin didn't seem to think this.

Austin took Xu Ziyue here and there and would from time to time ask if he wanted anything.

Xu Ziyue would always shake his head uninterested.

After browsing around for more than ten minutes, Xu Ziyue who was pus.h.i.+ng Austin's wheelchair suddenly stopped in his steps.

Austin turned around and looked at Xu Ziyue. He asked as gently as usual: "What's wrong? Did you see something you like?"

Xu Ziyue shook his head blankly. He then looked at Austin asking for clarification, "We………Are were on a…….date?"

Austin smiled indulgently, "Looks like you're not too dense."

Xu Ziyue blushed. His mouth opened and closed but he couldn't say anything for a long time.

In the end, he squatted down behind the wheelchair and, with his head buried in his arms, he repeatedly rubbed his face against his knees.

"Okay, okay. I won't joke around anymore. I'll wait for you to calm down."

As Austin's voice reached Xu Ziyue's ears, Xu Ziyue looked up in disbelief, "You were joking around just now?"

"How could that be? Didn't you say it earlier? To not…..let me recall what you said." Austin thought for a moment and finished, "To not tease you anymore."

Xu Ziyue's buried his red face again in his arms.

A m.u.f.fled voice carried over from behind Austin's wheelchair, "Dating is something only couples do."

Austin nodded, "Then——-We're a couple now."

If Xu Ziyue earlier was a live crab, at this moment he was pretty much a completely steamed crab. He was completely red.

Xu Ziyue: "Then does that mean you also li……"

"Xu Ziyue? Is that Xu Ziyue?"

The voice that suddenly spoke up caused Xu Ziyue to half cool back down. He looked up and looked at the speaker with anger and frustration inside.

Wu Wenshan waved and smiled, revealing his straight white teeth, "Hi~"

"No hi." Xu Ziyue supported himself with the wheelchair and stood up.

The person before them was the stupid looking Wu Wenshan wthey ran into before at the basketball court. It was also him who told Xu Ziyue about all kinds of bad things that could occur if one was too friendly with an NPC.

"What's wrong?" Wu Wenshan was confused. He looked at Austin who just smiled without saying anything and then at Xu Ziyue whose expression clearly revealed that he had interrupted something.

He let out an exaggerated "Oh…………"

"Sorry, I disturbed you. I just want to have a few words. After that………you can continue." Wu Wenshan quickly pulled Xu Ziyue aside.

Xu Ziyue was still a little unhappy. It was such a good opportunity………yet it was interrupted by him. But he also knew that it was pointless being angry so he could only suppress it inside.

Xu Ziyue pulled out his arm that was latched onto by Wu Wenshan, "Don't pull me. Austin's watching." He secretly glanced at Austin. As expected, Austin saw it. Xu Ziyue quickly turned back and looked at Wu Wenshan sternly, "Speak. What is it?"

Wu Wenshan smiled, "Tell me your room number. I'll go find you tonight. I have something to tell you……..It can't be explained standing out here."

Xu Ziyue thought of the warnings Wu Wenshan gave him before……..and the decided to give him his room number.

"Okay, I'll come find you at eight."

Xu Ziyue watched Wu Wenshan leave. Inside, he felt a little suspicious.

Wu Wenshan should've only ran into him coincidentally……..Of course, that didn't rule out the possibility of him specifically going out of his way to find him. If it really was a coincidence, then what did he want to talk about that couldn't be talked about here? If he looked for him specifically, then what could it be about?

After that, Xu Ziyue and Austin finished browsing the duty-free shopss. They then went to the spa on the same floor and the movie theatre on the seventh floor. At night, they had dinner together before parting ways just before seven.

Although Xu Ziyue wanted to stay with Austin longer, Austin said a guest was coming later so he could only pack up and leave.

Xu Ziyue laid on the bed in his own room until eight waiting for Wu Wenshan. While he waited, he recalled the sentence he was about to say when Wu Wenshan interrupted…….If he wasn't interrupted and he got a positive response, would that mean that he would've successfully cleared the instance?

That was too close. He almost had to say goodbye to all his hard-earned favourability points. Who knew when he would be able to touch his love targets face again?

Xu Ziyue decided that he would need to control himself in the future.

If he wasn't careful, he would need to leave Austin. This time, he didn't want to leave so hastily.

On the other side, at 7:00pm, someone knocked on Austin's door.

"Is this Mr. Austin? I am Xu Ziyue's friend, the one called Wu Wenshan."

If Xu Ziyue hadn't already left, at this moment he would hear Wu Wenshan's voice from outside the door.
