Wooo — —

The sound of the cruise ship's horn still echoed in the town of Aiguyi.

Its appearance moved the entire town.

Whether townspeople or players, they flocked to the seaside to observe this behemoth.

Looking up at the cruise ship, whose architectural style and size far exceeded their imagination, everyone was abuzz with discussion.

“Are we boarding the ship?” Yunze frowned.

The poet of Wanquan Tribe sighed and responded, “Is there any other way? There aren't any [Relics] or information about leaving in this town. Maybe they're all on the ship.”

The other players expressed their agreement.

In their view, this should be the normal process of the instance.

All competition for [Relics] would take place on the cruise ship.

This town of Aiguyi was just the starting point.

“Honorable outsiders, if you are going to board the ship, I have something to warn you about.”

Seeing the players eager to try, an elderly man with white hair walked out from among the townspeople.

He was the mayor of Aiguyi Town.

After clearing his throat twice, he said, “Back then, High Priest of Suffering left a saying, passed down orally by each mayor—”

“[When the horn resounding throughout the town sounds, when outsiders embark on a journey of adventure, remember that everything on the ship is both real and illusory. How many remaining treasures you can obtain depends solely on your sincerity. Sincerity brings miracles.]”

“I wish you all the best.”

Hearing the mayor's words, the players' expressions changed.

That High Priest of Suffering seemed to have known they would board the ship long ago.

Yunze immediately grasped the key issue and stepped forward, asking with doubt, “Then what about you? The town's treasures are on board, and the traces of the legendary High Priest of Suffering and the Holy Son of Desire might also be there. Aren't you interested?”

The mayor's implication was that the townspeople would not board the ship.

But that shouldn't be!

They were so longing and devout towards the two bronze statues in the [Sacrifice Square].

Now that the High Priest of Suffering himself was very likely on the ship, the townspeople were actually indifferent?

Was there some conspiracy in this?

Faced with the players' doubts, the mayor seemed to see their worries and just smiled slightly:

“Please rest assured, everyone. We are not boarding the ship simply because of ancestral teachings.”

“The ancestors of everyone in the town warned before their death—everything on the ship does not belong to the town. Reckless competition will only cause the tragedies of the past to repeat themselves. That is the opportunity for outsiders; the town only seeks to exist.”

“Only a hundred years have passed since the Day of Annihilation, and we have not forgotten that disaster.”

This place was not like the outside world with its advanced information.

In an absolutely closed town, the events of a hundred years ago were just what their grandparents had experienced.

Many people had even seen the slight, strange, twisted limbs that their grandparents still had from not fully healing.

In addition, this was something that the High Priest of Suffering had told the townspeople to remember.

This was also a town that valued faith immensely.

They would definitely not board the ship.

Hearing the mayor's explanation, the players were doubtful.

But they still began to board the ship, driven by their desire to leave and their anticipation for [Relics].

As soon as they came aboard, they felt as if they were in another world.

After spending so many days in a simple and unadorned remote town where even kerosene lamps were still in use,

all the modern facilities on the cruise ship gave them a strange sense of unreality.

Especially the fact that there were even service staff on board!

Looking at the female service staff wearing modern uniforms and smiling, the players' vigilance was self-evident.

The ghost ship they had initially imagined was probably a sailing ship like the one in 《Pirates of the Caribbean》.

They never expected it to be a modern cruise ship.

They had thought they might encounter ghosts similar to skeletons and monsters on the ghost ship.

They didn't expect it to be service staff!

All of this was too bizarre.

One of the service staff stepped forward and said with a smile, “Good morning, everyone. I am Service Staff Number One, Zhou Zhiruo. I have been waiting here for a hundred years under the order of the High Priest of Suffering.”

“The great High Priest of Suffering knows why you have come.”

“To open the Crystal Coffin, you need to obtain a pass to the top floor.”

“There are ways to obtain passes in various areas of the Mary, please explore them yourself.”

“If you need to go to a certain area, you can let us lead the way.”

After saying that, Number One stretched out her hand, bent over, and made a gesture of invitation.

Although the players wanted to complain about this dark-skinned service staff whose name was Zhou Zhiruo,

they were more concerned about what she had said.

Before arriving here, everyone was sent in by the nuns from the town of Aiguyi outside.

Having seen the bronze statues in the square, they naturally knew that the other party was the High Priest of Suffering.

For such a transcendent being, no one doubted whether she was still alive.

Although the townspeople said that the High Priest of Suffering had died for love,

the players knew that this was absolutely impossible!

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the nun was definitely the biggest BOSS in this instance.

It was impossible for her to be terminated in advance!

In other words, the nun was very likely on this cruise ship!

Or rather, waiting for them at the location of the Crystal Coffin.

“Then take us for a walk around the cruise ship first.” The poet of Wanquan Tribe stepped forward and said.

Since these “ghost service staff” had said so,

there was no need to be timid.

Even if there was danger on the ship, it should only appear during the process of obtaining the pass.

In the situation where the other party was leading them to explore the cruise ship, there shouldn't be much danger in theory.

After all, this instance had locked down everything about the players when they entered.

If every step was to face transcendent danger,

then the game balance would not exist at all.

This was the experience of old players.

Don't forget, they were high-level players who had experienced many instances!

Under the guidance of the service staff, it only took a few hours to completely understand the areas on the entire cruise ship where passes could be obtained.

“Casino, you need to win 37 million with 20 to get the pass; Restaurant, you need to make Nine Turns Intestines that satisfy the ghost chef; Basketball court, you need to wear overalls and win against the ghost crew…”

The players tallied these methods.

There were a total of twenty kinds.

Although they felt that each method was a bit strange, as if they had seen it somewhere,

they also had to seriously consider how to efficiently obtain the pass.

Now the atmosphere between the players was a bit strange.

Because the person who obtained the pass faster was more likely to get more, or even take all the [Relics]!

A man is never content!

Everyone knew that opening the Crystal Coffin alone might be extremely dangerous.

But everyone would not forget the original intention of entering this instance.

Wasn't it for the [Relics]?

High risk, high reward!

All the players looked at each other, with understanding in their eyes.

They dispersed separately.

Heading to the area where they felt they were most likely to obtain the pass.

A race against time for the pass.
