I Kill Gods in Escape Game

Chapter 253 The Cruise Ship with No Return Date 9
As Mo Gui finished speaking, a prompt flashed across Lin Yuan's panel.

[Plot progress: 55%]

If Lin Yuan had known that chatting with Mo Gui would increase the plot progress, he would have moved all his words here.

"Lin Yuan."

Lin Yuan introduced himself, but at the same time he was filled with doubts.

Has Mo Gui ever taken a ship like the Yuanhang?

How could there be such a coincidence in the world?
An uncertain guess vaguely emerged in Lin Yuan's mind, and his face became solemn.

Over the next few days, people kept disappearing on the Voyage, and gradually some sailors realized something was wrong.

Paper wrapped fire.

The captain is not without confidants on the ship. If the captain disappears inexplicably, someone will always investigate and then run into the boatswain.

One lie needs to be covered up by more lies. In short, more and more crew members suspect the boatswain, and more and more people become the boatswain's allies, either actively or passively.

One evening, the uneasy crew members finally broke out into a conflict.

As soon as the conflict broke out, Lin Yuan rushed to the nearby deck to avoid missing the plot.

Several other players came at the same time, until all five of them were present.

The crew was huddled together and making a lot of noise.

"Where did the missing sailors go?"

"I saw bloodstains in some corners of the ship. Are we on a ghost ship? Every once in a while, the ghost will take someone away."

Several crew members shouted coldly:

"Just do your job well, and when the ship returns, everyone can go home."

Go home? Who doesn't want to go home?

The crew members present had been working at sea for so long that they had long wanted to go home.

But the problem is, with so many people missing from the ship, how can they leave with a clear conscience?

At this time, the dark-skinned merchant who had disliked the boatswain earlier stood up and waved his hand:
"Let the sailor come out!"

The businessman swayed into the crowd and raised his hands in protest:
"Your boatswain has deceived you!"

With just one sentence, all the crew members turned their eyes to the black-skinned merchant.

The businessman spoke angrily. His blank face seemed to be filled with fear and anger, which distorted and wrinkled his entire face.

"Guess what I found?"

"There is a demon on your ship who kills without blinking an eye. Not only does he brutally kill his compatriots, he also forces others to do the same. If you want to survive, you must become a murderer like him."

The businessman gasped for breath, as if to calm his inner restlessness:

"That man is your trusted boatswain."

This sentence seemed to cause an uproar in the crowd, and in an instant, there was a constant noisy noise.

Those crew members who knew the inside story gritted their teeth and kept silent, curling their fingers. Their hatred might be directed at the businessman who jumped out to expose everything, or at the boatswain who forced them into this state.

Those who didn't know the inside story, considering the recent strange events that happened on the Far Voyage, had already believed the merchant's words.

After all, they are just here to work, not to risk their lives.

So many people disappeared from the ship, and there were traces of the boatswain's actions.

How dare they sail on the ship with peace of mind?

Watching the crew's split drama up close, a prompt appeared on Lin Yuan's panel.

[Plot progress: 60%]

boom!
The door of the wheelhouse was flung open and the boatswain strode out.

The boatswain sneered:
"Since I can't hide it anymore, I'll just tell you all my plans for the future."

"Everyone here wants to go home. I will intercept all the harvests from this voyage and sell them all at the seafood market after landing. The proceeds from the sale will be enough for all of us to work hard for more than ten years." "Take this money, go home, and never come to work at sea again. We can still have a good New Year."

The boatswain tilted his head, and the place where his two eye sockets should be was fixed on the black-skinned merchant who jumped out to expose everything.

The next second, he opened his mouth and spoke words like the devil.

"This foreigner is not from the same path as us. If each of you stabs him, I will let everyone return home safely."

The sailors, who had killed the most fish in their lives, were stunned.

Seeing that some people around them were not surprised, these sailors quickly realized something and quickly retreated together.

They want to go home, but they don't want to become criminals when they go home.

Damn boatswain, he doesn't want anyone to be on the boat!

In fact, the boatswain did not think so.

He felt that secrets needed to be protected, but the action was too big and the secret seemed impossible to keep.

From the moment he stabbed the despicable captain in anger for the first time, from the moment the first witness saw what he did, the boatswain seemed to have embarked on a path of no return, and was going further and further.

Since I can't keep the secret of the Voyage by myself, it is better to let everyone become the guardian of the secret.

and……

The boatswain thought almost paranoidly:
"I'm usually so nice to them, why don't they support me now?"

His eyes fell on a few crew members who were clearly wary of him. The hatred boiling in his chest intensified, and his breathing became rapid:

"Even now, what I want to do is to ensure that everyone gets their wages, so that they can go home and not get on this black-hearted ship again."

“Why doesn’t anyone understand me?”

The boatswain was enveloped in endless hatred, his facial features were so distorted that he could roughly recognize the appearance of a human face.

He held a flag in his hand and gave the order:

"Kill crew member XXX, XXX..."

Several names were reported one after another, all of whom were the crew members who were most suspicious of the boatswain.

The crew members sneered and didn't think that the boatswain, just one man, could do anything to them.

However, what they did not expect was that some of the crew members who usually worked together quietly raised their fish knives as weapons, as if they were determined to carry out the boatswain's orders.

They were stunned for a moment, pointed at the high-ranking boatswain, and blurted out:

"Are you just going to listen to him?"

The crew member holding the fish knife did not explain and slowly walked towards his "pure and innocent" colleague who was unaware of the whole situation.

At this moment, the boatswain who was enjoying the show suddenly turned his eyes to Lin Yuan.

A prompt appears on the panel.

[Plot progress: 65%]

[The boatswain has questioned you, please make your camp choice as soon as possible]

[As a member of the devil, you can survive on the ship and return on the Voyage]

[If you don’t want to be one of the executioners…]

[Then I'm sorry, all the executioners on the ship will target you]

Becoming an executioner is an option that is completely in the player's interest, but Lin Yuan took a deep breath and his heart beat violently.

An idea inevitably grew in her mind.

“Do I do what I want to do, or do I follow the rules of the game and become a qualified player?”

Lin Yuan looked at the crew members who were fighting with each other.
