《Game, Live Stream》Chapter 97

At this moment, the coward came back with Xue Junli. He saw the empty table from the vanished food and was struck by lingering fears and said to himself, “Good thing I didn’t eat it. Who knows what the food is made of?”
As soon as he spoke, his stomach rumbled loudly. He immediately covered his stomach in embarrassment while still carefully observing the reactions of other people. But no one was paying attention to him, everyone was asking if Xue Junli had found anything. He sneakily looked away again.
“Did you find anything?” Duan Hongzhen asked Xue Junli with crossed arms.
Xue Junli nodded, “I found a diary in a guest room.”
As he spoke, he brought out a yellowed leather notebook. Everyone quickly moved forward, asking him to open the fairly thick diary that probably had dozens of pages. But the things written in the front were all unimportant things. It was not until the last few pages that it gradually started talking about the Angela.
At first glance, the diary was only about some of the experiences of the Angela during the voyage. One day a passenger lost something, one day a lot of beef disappeared in the kitchen, one day the food in the restaurant was missing, one day a certain guest suddenly disappeared…
“Food went missing, and a passenger mysteriously disappeared?” Xiao Tangqiu frowned, “How come this sounds like the situation on the pirate ship?”
Tang Mianmian suddenly realized, “What you said… Right! It’s exactly the same! Did that cursed mysterious treasure also appeared on that pirate ship?”
Xiao Tangqiu suddenly remembered something and quickly reached for the ruby ring he found on the pirate ship. But when he touched his pocket, he found that the pocket was empty. The ruby ring disappeared without his realization!
Xiao Tangqiu suddenly felt cold all over, “It’s gone, it’s gone!”
When did the ruby ring disappear? Why didn’t he feel it at all?
“What’s missing?” Shen Yuan frowned and asked.
Xiao Tangqiu tried to keep himself calm, “That ruby ring I found on the pirate ship.”
Tang Mianmian’s eyes widened, “Is that ruby ring the legendary cursed treasure?”
Xiao Tangqiu looked solemnly, “It’s possible, but now it’s gone.”
Shen Yuan said lightly, “That ruby ring may be on the Angela.”
Tang Mianmian reacted instantly, “I see! So our current goal is to find that ruby ring?”

Xiao Tangqiu, “Maybe, yes.”
Duan Hongzhen crossed his arms and said, “But we searched through this entire cruise ship and no one found the ruby ring, right?”
Shen Yuan said lightly, “Maybe we didn’t search carefully enough. Search again.”
He looked up at the black night, took another look at Xiao Tangqiu, and continued to say, “It’s getting late now. Let’s sleep first and look for it tomorrow.”
Everyone nodded. Although it was difficult finding a clue, it was also important to recharge your energy…They also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In the past three months, their captain madly forced them to run instances and they had to keep going day and night. The captain hardly gave them time to take a breather even in the instances. Now the captain finally offered to let them rest. It was really not easy!
Everyone was moved. Of course, Tang Mianmian was the most obviously moved as a newcomer, while the others were much more subtle about their feelings.
“The deck and the second floor were both recreational areas. Starting from the third floor are the guest rooms. I suggest that we sleep in the third-floor guest rooms. Although the electricity is still being supplied, no one knows when the power will be cut off. It will be awkward if there’s no elevator at some point,” Xiao Tangqiu said, “We can also live closer and take care of each other.”
Shen Yuan said lightly, “There are ten people in total, so let’s have two to a room.”
Tang Mianmian asked, “How are we splitting?”
Shen Yuan said lightly, “Just follow the result of the draw.”
Tang Mianmian glanced at Duan Hongzhen subconsciously with a look of disgust, “…Follow the result of the draw?”
Of course, Duan Hongzhen also felt disgusted.
Shen Yuan, “Are you against it?”
Tang Mianmian, “N-no.” He didn’t dare!
In short, the rooms were happily divided up. Xiao Tangqiu was still frowning and thinking about when and where the ruby ring disappeared. He finally looked up after the others selected their rooms and entered and saw that there was only a Shen Yuan left here.
Shen Yuan looked at him and didn’t rush him. He blinked, “Should we go back to the room to sleep?”
The corners of Shen Yuan’s lips curved as if he was pleased by the word “we”, but when he spoke, his tone was still mild, “Let’s rest. If you have any questions, think about it tomorrow.”

Xiao Tangqiu nodded and went back to the room with Shen Yuan.
The room was even a room with a sea-view outside through the glass window, but the dark and deep sea under the cover of the night could only give him a sense of mystery and terror.
He stared at the sea outside the window, feeling as if his entire body was about to be sucked in by the sea. He shook his head quickly and turned his back to the sea only to be met with Shen Yuan’s line of sight.
Shen Yuan looked deeply at Xiao Tangqiu, his eyes were just as dark and endless like the sea currently outside the window.
Xiao Tangqiu also felt as if he was going to be sucked in by Shen Yuan’s eyes. He quickly pulled up the corners of his mouth and squeezed out a smile, “Is there something wrong?”
Shen Yuan asked, “Are you taking a bath?”
Xiao Tangqiu hadn’t taken a bath for a long time. After finally having a physical body, of course he wanted to take a hot bath. But then he remembered the embarrassment the last time he took a bath with Shen Yuan. No, he was in the bath and Shen Yuan had embarrassingly barged in… Well, that’s not right either. Either way, it was a bit embarrassing, so he laughed and said, “Not yet.”
Shen Yuan glanced at Xiao Tangqiu and didn’t question him, just turning around and going into the bathroom by himself.
Because the soundproofing was not very good, Xiao Tangqiu could clearly hear the sound of water coming from the bathroom. He involuntarily sketched the picture of the bathroom in his mind… He shook his head quickly and drove away the images that shouldn’t be there. He fell onto the bed and pulled up a quilt to force himself to fall asleep.
Maybe it was because he hadn’t rested for too long, as soon as he closed his eyes, strong drowsiness surged up and he fell asleep.
Xiao Tangqiu felt like he had been asleep for a long time but also no time at all when he suddenly woke up from his sleep.
He got up from the bed and saw that Shen Yuan was lying quietly on the other bed, asleep. He sighed with relief and was about to turn over to continue sleeping, but suddenly saw a huge shadow rush past the glass window from the rough sea outside.
He woke up completely and wanted to take a closer look at the dark shadow, but the dark shadow instantly disappeared.
Xiao Tangqiu frowned in thought. Suddenly there was a sound of singing in his ear.
The song was ethereal and mesmerizing, like joyous fairy music that made people helplessly addicted to it, unable to extricate themselves. After a few seconds in a trance, his body got out of the bed without his control and walked toward the door automatically.
His brain barely remained sober, desperately trying to stop himself, but his body was out of his control and he slowly opened the door and walked towards the corridor.
Wait! Stop! Stop!
Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t control his body. As the ethereal and mesmerizing singing voice became clearer and clearer, his body became more and more uncontrollable. Soon, his body followed the song to the deck. The wet sea breeze rushed over his face and he finally saw clearly what was happening in the rough sea.
Fishtails covered with silver scales weaved in the sea, but the upper bodies were not from a fishy creature. They had human necks and upper limbs… Was this the legendary ocean siren?
The legendary fish-tailed beauties, the mermaid?
…Was this Siren Bay?
Xiao Tangqiu’s heart thudded. Although he knew the terrible creatures of this legend, he couldn’t help but want to witness the peerless faces of mermaids. However, when he saw the true faces of those mermaids, he broke out in a cold sweat. .
Although these mermaids did have human-like upper bodies, their upper bodies were still covered with fish scales, with fish eyes, no noses, and most importantly, no hair!
Even beauties didn’t look good if they didn’t have hair, let alone these “mermaids” who were not good looking at all! It was so disillusioning!
These “mermaids” were not only unsightly, they were also full of animalistic aggressiveness. Their hands were covered with nails that were sharp enough to serve as weapons and their mouths were also filled with rows of thin and dense sharp teeth.
Xiao Tangqiu was completely awake, but his body still walked uncontrollably towards the deck rails amidst the ethereal singing. He could practically see his coming destiny… At any moment he would go over the fence, jump into the sea, and then plunge into the arms of these “mermaids”!
