Crash--crash--

Mingyue, wearing pajamas, walked out of the misty bathroom and saw Scotland standing at the door. He had taken off his elaborate and gorgeous dress and put on a comfortable and easy-to-move hoodie. The gray wolf mask on his face had long been taken off and placed side by side with the gray rabbit mask.

Scotland naturally took the towel from Mingyue's hand, and after Mingyue sat down in front of the dressing table, he gently helped her wipe her wet hair.

Although the color of Mingyue's eyes has changed, such a unique gray hair should attract other people's attention. I don't know how Zero's investigation is going. Is the man named Lily a member of the Ouroboros organization? Scotland lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions surging in his eyes.

But the sensitive Mingyue still noticed something strange in Scotland.

Bang - Bang -

Huge waves surged and the cruise ship shook twice. Scotland looked at the lightning and thunder outside the window with a complicated expression.

Mingyue glanced at the men's suit hanging in the closet, looked at Scotland in the dressing mirror, and asked with a smile: "Why did Brother Little Cake change his clothes?"

"I'm not used to wearing that outfit." Scotland said as he wiped the ends of Mingyue's hair.

"But you look really good in formal wear. You look really handsome."

Scotland pinched the end of Mingyue's hair and felt that it was almost done, so he put the towel away and said, "Go to bed early." Then he walked to the window.

At this moment, a flash of lightning flashed, and Scotland could see the heavy rain and crazy waves outside the window. As the light disappeared, darkness enveloped him. There was chaos outside the window, and the only thing he could see was the rain flowing on the glass.

Mingyue crawled into the soft quilt and looked at Scotland standing in front of the window, "Brother Little Cake, the cruise ship broadcast said that the use of force is prohibited now, so you should go and rest too."

However, Scotland did not move, still looking out the dark window, and said calmly: "I'm worried that you will sneak out when I'm not paying attention. Now the wind and waves outside are so strong, I'm worried. If you really want to leave, go through the main gate. Although I will definitely chase you, it's at least safer."

Mingyue looked at Scotland in astonishment. The silver-white lightning cast a beautiful halo around his body, making his figure look even taller and more solid.

Suddenly, Mingyue burst out laughing, fell on the bed, and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling above her head. "Don't you even want to ask me how I disappeared in front of everyone?"

"I really hope you can tell me, but I guess the process must be very dangerous." Scotland still stood in front of the French window with his back to the bright moon. Thinking of how Zero was almost dragged to the bottom of the sea by the huge waves, he was frightened and his fingers clenched into fists.

Mingyue said in a relaxed tone: "It's not that thrilling actually."

"For me, I don't want to see you get hurt..." I hope you can leave the organization and grow up happily and healthily. However, Scotland didn't say the second half of the sentence. He just looked up at the sky full of dark clouds, and sank the unfinished words into the damp and deep darkness.

Tonight, there is no starlight, no moon, only storms and surging waves.

Mingyue sat on the bed with her legs curled up and her knees hugged. She stared at Scotland's back for a long time, then moved the pillow away from the bedside. "Can little cake brother come over?"

Scotland didn't understand, but turned to look at Mingyue.

"Come, sit here." Mingyue patted the head of the bed, but Scotland still stood there without moving.

Mingyue said in a coquettish tone: "Come on, come here."

Scotland walked over but just stood by the bed, "Can't sleep?"

"I can't sleep if you stand there." Mingyue curled her lips slightly, grabbed Scotland's sleeve, pulled him to sit down at the head of the bed, and rested her head on Scotland's strong thighs. She looked up at Scotland, who looked stunned, and said with a smile, "In this way, Brother Little Cake should be able to take a rest, and he doesn't have to be on guard against me slipping away all the time."

Scotland sat stiffly on the edge of the bed, not knowing where to put his hands.

"Good night, little cake brother." Mingyue closed her eyes.

"Good night, Mingyue." Scotland replied softly, reaching out to tuck the corner of the quilt, watching the girl rest her cheek on his knees.

It was late at night, and the wind and waves were strong, but the girl's breathing was steady, perhaps she was already asleep. Scotland looked out the window and closed his eyes.

On the other side, the evil puppeteer was taken to the room where the male corpse was.

"Come in." Bourbon pushed the door open and motioned for the evil puppeteer to go in first. Lei put his hands in his pockets and quietly blocked all possible escape routes for the evil puppeteer.

"In there?" The evil puppeteer felt the atmosphere was strange, so he looked around the room and saw a man lying on the bed. The man had a peaceful face and his eyes were closed. He seemed to be sleeping, not sick. The evil puppeteer swallowed and asked in a low voice, "Is he asleep? Or..."

Click.

The door behind him was locked.

Rumbling--

Even the huge thunder could not cover up the evil puppeteer's heartbeat.

"Doctor, please." Bourbon motioned to the evil puppeteer to go to the bedside.

At this moment, the evil puppeteer felt like he had entered a wolf's den. He couldn't help but reflect again on why he had provoked the gray rabbit at that time. He glanced at the black wolf leaning against the door, took a deep breath, and walked quickly to the bedside. "Hello, sir, what's wrong with you?"

However, the man on the bed remained motionless, as if nothing in the world could disturb his sleep.

The evil puppeteer glanced at the Siamese cat standing beside him, and put his hand on the man's shoulder on the bed. After shaking it twice, he realized something was wrong and frowned, "Hey! Wake up!"

However, the other party still did not respond. The evil puppeteer reached out and found that the other party had no breath or pulse.

The evil puppeteer quickly opened the man's mouth, and a faint smell of tobacco entered his nose. He had smelled this smell before, and many images flashed through his mind in an instant, and cold sweat soaked his clothes again.

Just as he was about to take the next step, he suddenly felt the other two people's gazes on him. His fingers paused, and the evil puppeteer tried hard to control his panic and asked in a cold voice: "Is this the person you asked me to save? Or do you think I have the ability to bring the dead back to life?"

"We want to know the cause of his death." Bourbon took in all the little movements of the evil puppeteer, raised the corners of his lips, and looked at the evil puppeteer calmly, "It seems that you seem to know something."

Rumbling--

The storm lasted all night.

In the early morning, wisps of golden sunlight shone through the light grey clouds. Every water drop suspended in the air became the protagonist on the stage under this light. They jumped and danced, weaving a dreamlike picture of light and shadow.

Scotland looked down at the girl resting on his legs and slowly opened her eyes. She smiled gently and said softly, "Good morning, Mingyue."

Mingyue also smiled and replied, "Good morning, little cake brother."

For a moment, it seemed as if time had gone back, and they seemed to be no longer on this bumpy cruise ship, but in that warm and safe house.

Suddenly, screams one after another tore through the morning mist, and the noise came into the room through the door.

"What's this?!"

“Another person died.”
