I Was Once a Legend

Cui Zuojing told the captain about the bones found in the power cabin.

The captain immediately sent someone to check and confirm that no one was missing.

The result came out soon, and someone was indeed missing.To everyone's surprise, the missing person is not the crew, nor the NPCs of the program staff.

He is a pilgrim.

The victim came from a team of four, all of whom were middle-aged men, and one of them, Cui Zuojing, still had a deep impression—that vicious man had a female prisoner.

The mate asked, "When was the last time you saw Job?"

"A day ago? Or two days ago? I forgot." The captain of the team replied nonchalantly, "After he was eliminated in the first round of the game, he went to play by himself. The boat is so big, who knows where he went? I went, anyway, I don’t remember, you can ask other people.”

And the other members of the team sat on the side, smoking cigarettes, touching women and touching women, and no one seemed to care.

The first officer frowned, he was very dissatisfied with what the captain said, but there were all distinguished guests on board, so he couldn't say anything.

Victor lay in a corner of the balcony where no one could notice, and listened to the first officer's inquiries completely.

The white cat jumped from the railing onto the windowsill on the other side, the window opened, and Cui Zuojing carried him into the room.

"How about it?"

Victor: "The missing person is a pilgrim named Job. The exact time of his disappearance is unclear, but someone has gone to check and monitor."

Dong Linhai was puzzled: "Even his teammates don't know?"

Cui Zuojing explained: "Not everyone's team is as tight as ours now. After all, there are only a small number of people who have a firm goal to go on a pilgrimage, and a large part of them only hope to be able to clear the box safely and earn points for activities. Just go on. These people will partner with each other to increase their survival rate, but they will put their own interests first when encountering things, and the relationship with their teammates is not so close."

Victor smiled and said: "So it is really not easy to meet the right teammates. Everyone must cherish each other."

Back then, people in their team kept coming and going. After the team members died, they went to receive fresh blood.It took more than a year to finally stabilize, form the final composition of personnel, and change its name to the afternoon tea party.

"There is another problem." Dong Zheng was the first to notice the weirdest thing, "Now one of the pilgrims on board died in his bedroom when he first arrived, and the body of one was found in the power cabin. There are 29 left."

When he said this, everyone was stunned.

"There are... 31 players on board?" Allen couldn't believe it, "But didn't we notice that this is a multiplayer box 30/30 when we came in? Could it be that you remembered it wrong?"

"Impossible, everyone I met on the boat remembers clearly, but there are still 29 people left." Dong Zheng began to sort out carefully, "Only 29 people were present at the luncheon on the first day. The pilgrim who was in his room wasn't there, and there was another person who didn't come either."

"Remember who it is?"

Dong Zheng shook his head: "At that time, I didn't recognize everyone."

Lin Hangzhi said: "It's easy to handle, just check the monitoring and find out, or ask the staff of the program group, who they invited to participate in the filming of the program, it is impossible not to know?"

Cui Zuojing: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. I haven't entered the main plot of the box yet. From my experience, all the previous stories so far are for the purpose of sending us to the island. It is very likely not rigorous."

Lin Hangzhi: "It's never wrong to ask, what if there is a clue?"

The task of asking was left to him, and Lin Hangzhi went to ask the planning team leader of the program group, and just as Cui Zuojing expected, the planning team leader gave him a negative answer.

"The guests on the show are all invited by the sponsors. We didn't even know who you were before boarding the boat."

Lin Hangzhi was speechless: "You don't even know who we are, so how did you get the script and program settings?"

"As long as you set up each episode of the game in advance, it's a reality show. If everything is designed, what's the point? Now the audience likes to watch the most realistic reactions."

Lin Hangzhi: "........."

Sure enough, nothing was gained.

Dong Zheng went to ask the captain if he could take a look at the surveillance. The captain was in the wheelhouse. Dong Zheng told him that he found an extra person, but replaced the word pilgrim with a guest.

The captain was overwhelmed, and Dong Zheng helped him find the monster on the ship. He had a good impression of Dong Zheng and agreed directly.

Dong Zheng asked the location of the monitoring room, thanked the captain, and was about to go, when he suddenly heard the voice of the sailor on the observation deck from the loudspeaker:

"There is an unknown island ahead, slow down and turn immediately! Slow down and turn immediately! Cab, please reply if you receive it, please reply if you receive it!"

island?

This word made Dong Zheng's spirit tremble, and he looked at the front window of the cab, only seeing the vast and endless dark blue sea.

Then he realized that the wheelhouse of the ship was at the rear.

The crew member who was staring at the radar on the instrument panel thought he heard it wrong: "What island? There is nothing on the radar? How many times have we traveled this route? Have you ever seen an island?"

"There really is an island! Turn around quickly! Left 15°!"

"Then it will deviate from the course!" Despite saying this, the crew still chose to trust their companions, turned the steering wheel, and adjusted the course.

Immediately afterwards, the panicked voice of the first officer also sounded from the loudspeaker: "My God, how could there be an island!"

Dong Zheng immediately ran out of the cab and onto the deck. The bumps of the cruise ship's deceleration and steering made him a little unsteady, so he grabbed the handrail on the side to stabilize his figure.

He looked forward, and at the line where the sea and the sky meet, an island is located in the middle, and the lush green breaks the dark blue and light blue.

We finally reached our destination.

Dong Zheng heaved a sigh of relief, he had been on the ship for so many days and did not enter the main line, which made him a little anxious.

Although you won't have such a comfortable life when you get off the ship, it's not a good thing to stay in the box all the time.

He closed his eyes and felt Cui Zuojing's position with his heart at this moment, and ran towards the billiard room.

The boat swayed suddenly, Cui Zuojing tilted his arm, and the ball missed. The white ball brushed the side of the red ball and rolled over, bouncing twice on the edge of the table.

He straightened up, put the club on his shoulder like a punk, looked out the window, and asked, "What's going on?"

Allen found the right position, hit a stick while the ship was shaking, and the red ball went into the hole: "I don't know."

Wang Que didn't understand snooker, and Dong Linhai used Cui Zuojing Ailun's game as an example to introduce the rules to her.

Lin Hangzhi went to find the program team and hadn't returned yet, Cui Zuojing faintly felt something was wrong, at this moment, he received a signal from Dong Zheng.

It was a weird mix of relief, eagerness, excitement, and many other emotions.

Three minutes later, the members of the Wonton Splitter team saw their captain rushing in from the door. Dong Zheng was out of breath and waved his hand: "Get ready, we're going to the island."

——There is almost no mobile phone signal on the high seas. Apart from walkie-talkies, voice messages have become the only means of communication.

"island?"

Everyone put down what they were doing and ran to the window to see what was going on.

Except for them in the billiard room, there were only a dozen resting crew members. After receiving the news of the sudden appearance of an island, they all returned to their posts to ensure the normal steering of the cruise ship.

"Let's go downstairs first. It is estimated that we will take an unconventional method to get on the island later."

Everyone packed up their things immediately. They had been waiting for this moment. There were many waterproof bags in their pockets, which contained the necessities for survival that were taken from the boat.

The ship didn't turn around as quickly as other means of transportation, not to mention that it was a high-ton luxury cruise ship. Although it had slowed down, the island that suddenly appeared in the distance was getting closer and closer to them.

Many people have gone to the deck. These days, all they can see is the blue sky and the ocean. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, they feel boring. When they see the long-lost land, they can't help but stop and wish.

"How do you think we will land?" Cui Zuojing asked Dong Zheng in a low voice.

"Reached a reef?"

"I guess not, do you want to make a bet?"

"What are you gambling?"

Cui Zuojing touched his chin and thought for a while: "I haven't thought about it yet, I'll talk about it later when I think about it."

"Success." Dong Zheng agreed without hesitation, and he found that Cui Zuojing especially liked all things with gambling elements.

Dong Zheng was still concerned about who the extra pilgrim was, but obviously, he probably had no chance to check the monitoring.

A group of people leaned on the railing to look at the island, and the crew members ran over and politely told them not to stand so far outside.

An island that was not on the radar suddenly appeared on the route that has been sailed hundreds of times-only professional sailors understand how dangerous and terrifying this is.

NASA once discovered a small island that rose overnight on the coast of the Carolinas. In the past so many years, no definite explanation has been obtained. It seems that there is a mysterious force that created it at an unknown moment and placed it on the on the sea.

This incident caused quite a panic, but now it's even weirder - at least the island is detected by radar.

It was Wang Que who first noticed that the sea surface near the ship seemed to be deeper than other places.

The girl who is particularly sensitive to light, shadow and color changes frowned, feeling ominous in her heart, pulled down the sleeve of Dong Zheng who was closest to her, and asked softly: "Brother Dong, do you feel that the color of the sea is getting darker?" gone?"

darken?

Dong Zheng took a closer look, at this moment, he suddenly felt a very powerful mental wave, which quickly spread like ripples from under the sea surface, and slapped heavily on the firewall of his inner world in a chaotic manner!

"Get down!" Dong Zheng shouted, he pushed down Wang Que and Dong Linhai who hadn't reacted yet, and squatted down quickly.

Flesh-red tentacles tens of meters long pierced the sea surface with a bang and swung out, entangled the railing where they were lying on their stomachs just now. There were dense suction cups on it, and even the very end was the size of a CD, and it was still wriggling.

boom boom boom-

There was a tsunami on the entire sea surface in an instant, and the huge flesh-red tentacles seemed to pierce the sky, curling up the sea water and emerging from all sides of the ship, "hugging" the entire bow of the ship tightly in an instant!

Alan Linhang, Dong Linhai, and Wang Queqi all screamed uncontrollably, bending over and panicking away from the edge of the deck like everyone else-knowing that some accidents will happen, landing on the island and experiencing it personally are completely two different things.

Dong Zheng cursed, and seemed relatively calmer. Only Cui Zuojing knew how nervous and fearful he was when those tentacles popped up one after another.

wow-

The waves stirred up by the tentacles splashed down high, and the salty seawater poured down, drenching everyone into a drowned chicken.

"I'll hide for a while, you guys pay attention to safety."

The grass pattern on the back of Dong Zheng's hand flashed, Cui Zuojing dropped this sentence, disappeared beside him out of thin air, and slipped away quickly before things became more chaotic.

Victor was following at the foot of Linhai, and the ship shook violently. It was too light to be thrown out even if it was clinging to the deck tightly. Allen grabbed Victor, who was about to slide away, into his arms, and shouted : "Hold on to me!"

Lin Hangzhi and Dong Linhai pulled Wang Que up when he fell, and supported each other to find a relatively safe place.

The piercing siren of the ship sounded, and amidst the people's horrified and desperate cries, the aluminum alloy railings were snapped off one after another, as brittle as small wooden sticks.More and more tentacles stretched out from the sea surface, firmly imprisoning the entire ship.

A tentacle swept across, and half of the people on the deck immediately disappeared.

Blood stained the sea.

The shadow of the huge head of the ocean overlord slowly emerged on the surface of the sea. It was swimming directly under the big ship, with its body clinging to the bottom of the ship.

In front of its huge body, the 300-meter-long Gabriel II is like a flat boat, swaying helplessly.

——Like a curious child, it hugged this little toy that suddenly broke into the territorial waters.
