The moment his consciousness returned, his body was already hanging precariously on the edge of the cruise ship.

He struggled desperately, his hands instinctively reaching for something, but a nearby crew member slapped him hard across the face.

"Snapped!"

Despite the burning pain in his cheek, he held on tightly.

The crew member gave a disdainful smile and raised his hand to strike again:

"Snapped!"

Two consecutive heavy blows knocked out his teeth, plunging his mind back into confusion, and weakening the strength in his hands.

"thump!"

With a dull thud as he fell into the water, Aki Tomoya disappeared beneath the surface.

Witnessing this, Madam Yukinoshita turned around and went back to the lower deck of the ship to personally cook new porridge.

The body lying in the pool of blood was thrown into the vast sea, as agreed beforehand.

The floor was quickly cleaned up, as if nothing had ever happened.

"Thank you ma'am!"

One of the parasites saw Lady Yukinoshita walk in carrying a steaming bowl of porridge and immediately burst into tears.

"Wow... Madam, you actually brought us porridge yourself!"

"Thank you for remembering us."

Moved by their gesture, the lady put down her bowl of porridge and bowed deeply.

"You have paid a huge price for the cruise ship's voyage, and I should thank you. I have promised that if you still have relatives, I will make sure they live a good life, and I will never break that promise."

Witnessing the lady's bow, those who had paid the ultimate price for the voyage were filled with emotion. One of them said:

“Madam, we have complete faith in you, there is no need for you to be so modest.”

The lady left the parasites' dwelling and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Despite being mentally prepared, witnessing firsthand the horrific suffering of those tormented by parasites still made her uncomfortable.

In particular, some people have had all their body fat devoured by insects, and countless white tumors have grown between their muscles.

Those disgusting tumors, when examined under a magnifying glass, are densely packed with worm eggs, with even a strange black dot in the middle, which is truly horrifying.

"Boom boom boom!"

A knock sounded at Sawamura Eriri's door.

"Who?"

Eriri asked with a hint of panic.

"Lady Yukinoshita".

A reply came from outside the door, and Eriri walked towards the door with relief.

With a creak, the door opened, and Eriri saw the lady's figure, a weight lifted from her heart.

"Um... what about Aki Tomoya?" she asked tentatively.

"he?"

Upon hearing Aki Tomoya mentioned, the lady mistakenly assumed he had a close relationship with Eriri, and a clear hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes:

"It has been thrown into the sea."

"what?!"

Eriri was surprised at first, then covered her mouth with both hands, but her face revealed uncontrollable joy.

"Oh...that's fine too. Men like that should be soaking in water!" she muttered softly.

Upon seeing this, the lady immediately understood:

It turns out that Aki Tomo also fabricated lies to deceive himself while Eriri was unconscious.

Thinking of this, she felt even less regretful about her decision to throw him into the sea.

"We're almost at Toranomon Mountain, let's prepare to disembark," the lady reminded them.

"Ok."

Eriri responded.

The lady then handed over a pair of boots: "Wear these, so the parasites don't get in. Once you're infected, there's no cure."

"Thank you."

Eriri took the boots and thanked her gratefully.

Five minutes later, a crew member shouted:

"We are about to dock at Tiger Gate Mountain. Everyone, please stand firm!"

What should I do if I get caught playing poker?

"Boom!"

With a loud crash, the luxury cruise ship slammed into the Toranomonyama Building, and the glass curtain wall shattered like raindrops, scattering debris everywhere.

Inside the cabin, Eriri Sawamura and Mrs. Yukinoshita, unable to grab onto anything in time, unexpectedly tumbled onto the bed together.

The lady happened to be pressing down on Eriri, and let out a soft cry of "Ouch!"

"Madam, you're pressing on my hand."

Eriri reluctantly reminded her. Upon hearing this, the lady immediately realized her lapse in decorum, quickly rose, and apologized profusely.

"sorry."

Eriri smiled and waved her hand: "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just never expected that my life, which is usually so focused on drawing colorful comics, would end up like this for the first time, wrestling with a girl."

Moments later, most of the guns on the ship were removed, and the team brought by the lady, fully equipped with firearms, walkie-talkies and flashlights, gathered at the foot of Toranomon Mountain.

The lady took the lead and loudly gave the order:

"Objective—To find Yukino Yukinoshita!"

The team members responded in unison: "Understood!"

Yukino and Eriri walked side by side, searching upwards floor by floor.

The sudden influx of a large number of armed men terrified the thugs inside the building, who huddled in dark corners, trembling with fear.

"Damn it! How come so many armed guys suddenly appeared!"

One person muttered to himself.

"That guy with the gun kidnapped a beautiful woman before. Could it be that these people are also here to find a beautiful woman?" another person chimed in.

"I was questioned earlier about whether I had ever seen a woman with long, straight black hair. It was infuriating! There are women with long, straight black hair everywhere. How could I possibly remember them all?" another person complained.

"Sigh, I bullied four girls just two days ago, two of whom had long, straight black hair. Could they be the ones these people are looking for? If that's the case, I'm in big trouble! I even slapped one of the girls with long, straight black hair twice!"

Upon hearing this, those around him quickly backed away, fearing they might get into trouble.

Meanwhile, on the floor above the 25th floor, Chang Wei was playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) with the sisters Yukino and Yono.

Yukino and Haruno had excellent luck, taking turns being the dealer and winning repeatedly.

"Wow, Chang Weijun, you're amazing!"

Yang Nai helplessly threw down her cards, collapsed onto the bed, and complained coquettishly, "This game is simply unplayable!"

Seeing this, Chang Wei gently stroked Yang Nai's head and said with a smile, "Then I'll play two-player Dou Dizhu with Yukino, you can rest for a while."

Upon hearing this, Yukino's expression changed slightly, and she nervously whispered, "Tsuneo-kun..."

At this moment, the lady and Eriri had arrived at the floor where Twenty-Five Street was located. The lady was extremely anxious:

"We've searched so many floors, but there's still no news of Yukino. Could something have happened to her?"

Eriri quickly comforted her:

"Madam, Yukino will definitely be alright. Mount Toranomon is so high, if she foresaw the disaster would continue, she certainly wouldn't stay on a lower floor. Perhaps we haven't found her floor yet."

The lady felt somewhat relieved after hearing this and continued on her way.

At that moment, an urgent voice came from the walkie-talkie:

"Madam, we have news about Yukino! Someone claims to have seen a man with a gun accompanied by a beautiful woman with long black hair. They're said to be on Twenty-Five Street right now!"

The lady perked up and immediately asked, "Where is Yukino?"

The other party replied:

"It's not news about Yukino herself, but a clue about the man with the gun."

The lady was overjoyed: Yukino, finally we have definite news about you!

She raised her flashlight and looked around, only to find herself in the Twenty-Five!

"Go find Yukino!"
