2052, Thirty Years Of Sleep

The sky has completely darkened. Looking outside, except for the nearby waves illuminated by the lights on the deck, there is endless darkness in the distance.

"Sarri, prepare a dress for him. I'm taking him to a fancy dress party tonight."

"Yes, ma'am." The tan-skinned, slightly fat female Hai Shi agreed, turned around and walked out of the door.

Wei Min looked at the woman lying sideways on the sofa, stretching regardless of her appearance, showing off her graceful curves, and felt a strange feeling in his heart. He couldn't tell whether it was happiness or... loss?

It was already 9 pm, and they had just finished dinner and returned to the suite.

Wei Min originally thought that he would never be able to run away tonight, and he was already mentally prepared to devote himself to his career. However, this woman who was over 60 years old did not plan to rest yet, but planned to attend some masquerade party.

"What, are you tired?"

Elizabeth on the sofa noticed the change in his expression, and a smile with unknown meaning appeared on her face: "Lan, you look so strong, is it possible that your physical strength is not as good as that of an old woman like me?"

"No, it's just a sigh. Whether it's your mentality or appearance, you give me the feeling that you are in your prime." Wei Min flattered you.

Should I say it or not, the other party's energy is really good, which is a bit too much.

This woman got a yoga massage in the morning, played tennis immediately after eating with Roy at noon, then enjoyed afternoon tea with a group of middle-aged ladies, and finally swam two laps in the open-air swimming pool before going ashore for a swim. Cool down and then change clothes and go have dinner.

At this point, Wei Min thought that Elizabeth was finally going to rest, and that he would not be able to escape the "devil's clutches". However, as soon as she lay down on the sofa, she ordered her personal sea attendant to prepare a dress for herself, and she would go to a masked ball later... ..

Elizabeth turned over on the sofa and said lazily: "I can't dance anymore. I will go to the dance later just to meet people and discuss business. If you want to dance then, just go and dance and don't worry about me. Just remember to come back at night."

"I still want to stay by your side." Wei Min smiled slightly, walked forward knowingly, knelt down next to the sofa, and pressed gently on the woman's shoulders.

The possibility that this woman is related to the Shengyao Cult is the greatest on the Ark, so anyone who comes into contact with her will definitely be more or less suspicious. He must ensure that he stays by her side at all times.

...

Colorful lights shine in the hall, creating a dreamy atmosphere. On the stage, the band dressed in classical costumes played cheerful court music.

Sea people dressed in various costumes were walking on the dance floor. They were either dressed up like medieval nobles or like popular characters in movies, but everyone wore various shapes and costumes on their faces. size mask.

Not long after the dance started, some people had already taken off most of their clothes, and their fair or dark skin shone under the light.

The clothes of these people either untied themselves or were taken off by hands that stretched out intentionally or unintentionally. However, no one showed the slightest troubled look on their face. Instead, they looked a little proud because their clothes were getting less and less, because This means that they are the most popular among the crowd even if their faces are covered.

Rather than saying it was a grand dance, it was more like a group of men and women wearing strange clothes, touching each other in a confusing atmosphere where no one knew who was who.

Here, the sea people can do whatever they want to the sea people, the sea servants can do anything to the sea servants, and even the sea servants can do whatever they want to the sea people. There is no distinction of status here, no one knows each other's identity, and everyone is enjoying the unknown excitement.

"Don't you want to go in and have fun?" Elizabeth, who was walking in front, suddenly turned back and smiled sweetly. Tonight she was wearing a red butterfly mask, and her blue eyes were particularly beautiful.

"No, no." Wei Min shook his head repeatedly.

In addition to being dressed neatly, everyone who attends the ball must also wear a mask, and he is no exception. He wears a black mask that looks a bit like Batman on his face. However, he felt that the first rule seemed unnecessary. It had only been ten minutes since the dance started, and already many people had nothing left on them.

Elizabeth took a deep look at Wei Min, said nothing, turned around and walked up the stairs to the second floor. Wei Min and the female sea maid Sari, who had brown skin and looked like South Asian race, followed closely behind her.

The three of them quickly arrived at a private room on the second floor. There was no one inside. It seemed that they had arrived first.

Elizabeth naturally sat at the head seat of the round table, while Wei Min and Sari stood on either side of her.

Time did not pass long, and there was a knock on the door soon.

After Elizabeth said "come in", the man outside turned the handle and slowly pushed the door open.

The person who came was a somewhat bloated man, wearing a priest-style black robe, with a silver cross hanging on his chest, but on his face he wore a monkey mask that looked like a monkey bought at a street stall.

When he saw the mask on the other person's face, Wei Min almost stopped. He was extremely convinced that underneath the monkey mask was a Chinese face, because this monkey was so famous that almost no Chinese people didn't know it.

"Let's get right to the point, Ms. Elizabeth."

The man sat across the table carelessly, with his fingers intertwined, and his bright eyes looking at Elizabeth unscrupulously from behind the mask.

Wei Min frowned slightly. He always felt that this man's voice was familiar. He seemed to have heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Elizabeth took out a small red velvet box from her pocket, placed it on the table and pushed it gently.

The man's eyes lit up, and he almost snatched the box away. After opening it, he saw a bright and rich green gem embedded inside, which reflected transparent and beautiful light under the light.

Wei Min's eyes narrowed slightly under his mask. He remembered that this gem was the third auction item at the charity dinner two days ago. It was finally sold for four million credits. Unexpectedly, the person who bought it turned out to be Elizabeth.

"This is the only thing missing. We finally gathered them all..." The man seemed very excited, and even his breathing was a little heavier.

He quickly reached out and took out a small cylindrical device and put it on his eyes. It looked like an instrument used to identify gems. However, due to the obstruction of the mask, he put the device in front of his eyes twice and then took it away again, looking a little distressed.

"It's not the first time we've met, so why bother?" Elizabeth smiled.

The man thought about it and pulled off the monkey mask on his face, and then he couldn't wait to use the instrument to check the gem in his hand.

His mind was completely attracted by this emerald, and he was so focused on it that he did not notice the slight change in the expressions of the people in the room.

"I didn't expect to see this guy here. It really took no effort at all..."

Wei Min sighed secretly in his heart, and slowly looked away in order not to be noticed by the other party.

About half a minute later, Yu Shuyi and Yue Xiao, who were wandering around the masquerade party, received a message at the same time:

"A new person on the list was found, Yang Qi, whose alias is Bai Haoxuan. The probability is 47.6% that he is related to the Shengyao Cult."
