I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 25.2
The young man looked at the little girl in front of him, who was still smiling and said to him, "Is it convenient for us to have a chat? If it’s not, you may lose a leg."
The young man’s skin was suddenly covered in goosebumps.
Lin Xinghe asked, "Would it be convenient for you?"
"……Yes."
There was a cafe right outside the ticket center.
Lin Xinghe chose this place happily. There was still a lot of time before the cruise ship left, and she had boarding privileges that came with the suite ticket, so she wasn’t in a hurry.
She ordered a vanilla latte, took a slow sip, and asked the young man sitting across from her bluntly, "What do you know?"
He stammered, "I don't know anything."
Lin Xinghe said calmly, "Look down."
Xiao Xue Ji was sitting in his arms, and after receiving Lin Xinghe's message, she transformed into the severed head of the young man.
The young man screamed in fright, which attracted the attention of the waitress, who asked enthusiastically, "Sir, do you need any help? Ah, such a cute cat."
The young man looked down and saw that the demon cat turned back into an innocent fairy.
Lin Xinghe said, "We don't need help, thank you. Could we have a quiet moment?"
The waitress understood and left.
Lin Xinghe smiled at the young man and asked again, "Are you sure you don't know anything?"
Her smile was gentle and pleasant, but in the eyes of the young man, she looked like a female demon who was getting ready to pounce.
Ten minutes later, Lin Xinghe learned that the cruise ship was called the Alpine Rimerose.
The young man’s name was Wang Ke.
He boarded the Alpine Rimerose half a year ago, thinking it would be a 2-week-long pleasant journey. Unexpectedly, on the first night, all the staff on the cruise turned into ligui*** and massacred the passengers.
He survived a week with great difficulty. On the eighth day, the cruise ship was invaded by a different group of strange creatures, which also began to massacre the passengers.
When it was about to dock in the port, the ship, which had piles of corpses and puddles of blood staining the decks, suddenly returned to its original state.
All the ligui turned back to warm and attentive staff and helped the survivors off the ship.
"The round-trip route of the cruise takes half a month. You boarded the cruise half a year ago?"
Thinking of the past, Wang Ke became anxious and fearful again.
"Every two weeks, as long as the survivors are alive, they will be forced to board the ship again. No matter how far they have fled, they will board the ship with a new round of passengers and go through the two rounds of carnage again. Unless you die, you have to go through boarding and disembarking over and over again."
Lin Xinghe looked at Wang Ke's nondescript appearance and asked, "How did you escape the massacres?"
"There is a safe area on the cruise ship, and both groups of monsters will avoid it. I hid in it—all the people still living hid in it. It’s hell! It’s so dark, pitch-black, and you can’t even see your hand even if it’s right next to your face. You can’t make a single sound or light a single match, or else the monsters will discover you. Some of the living people were pushed to the point of committing suicide... I have to go home—my wife and children depend on me! I can't die in this place..."
Lin Xinghe broadly understood the circumstances. She asked, "So the only way to solve the problem is to transfer your ticket to a new passenger?"
Wang Ke replied, "I don't know if it will work, but the staff on the cruise who haven’t yet become ligui told me this method, saying that as long as the ticket can be sold at the original price and the information on the boarding pass changes, the original ticket owner can escape the curse of the cruise ship. Regardless if it’s true or false, I have to try it..."
Wang Ke knew that the little girl in front of him was a powerful person who definitely wouldn't be his scapegoat. There was still time before passenger boarding, so he still had a chance to find a different scapegoat.
He said tentatively, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have forced you to go die for me, I..."
He originally wanted to say that he was willing to exchange the ticket back, but the little girl in front of him inexplicably said, "I can board the boat for you, but you have to give me something in return..."
Half an hour later, Wang Ke left the cafe contented and poor.
Lin Xinghe picked up Xiao Xue Ji and slowly walked towards the special boarding location for distinguished guests.
【Here we go again! The sect leader has begun to manipulate the NPCs! 】
【Lin Xinghe is really lucky! No one else had met Wang Ke. Other bosses bought tickets directly at the ticket office, and some even bought VIP tickets, but they still don’t have such luck! 】
【Even if they had bumped into Wang Ke, they may not have been able to force him to divulge this information!】
【Report! I went to watch the live broadcasts of other bosses… Sect leader was the first to discover the plot line! There are many students who still think they’re just looking for alpine rimeroses on the ship! 】
【Just gonna put this out there… Our sect leader’s exam is so difficult? One murdering rampage is already hard to survive. The staff on the cruise ship will become ligui after the first night, and this cruise ship is not just any ship. It’s famous for its professional customer service. There must be at least hundreds if not thousands of potential ligui. Not every student has combat power, so the ratio of students to monsters is too low. Not to mention, we still have no idea exactly how fierce these ligui are!】
【After experiencing the fierce corpse massacre, there will be another round of massacres by unknown creatures…】
【I think that there might not even be alpine rimeroses onboard the cruise…】
TL Notes:
***Ligui are a type of ghost in Chinese folklore. “Li” means powerful, while “Gui” means ghost/monster. Ligui are created when someone dies with too many or too powerful grievances.
