Zongman, start your journey to godhood by saving the heroine of anime

Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, the man in the suit and mustache trembled as he read aloud the words on the wall.

"Ten years have passed since then. Now it's your turn. The box is ready. Come on, hares! Run!"

The man with the mustache swallowed hard, his mouth trembling. After reciting the last three words, he collapsed to the ground in terror.

"Garden Night? Hare?"

"So you didn't bring us here to watch wild rabbits run around!"

Are we... the hares ourselves?

The mustachioed man's fear seemed to infect the gentlemen present, and the passengers all showed expressions of fear.

"Ah! Ahh!"

"They'll kill me, they ...!"

A gentleman in a suit ran toward the door in a panic, and then, just as he opened the door...

"Zira!"

A sharp arrow flew in from outside the door and pierced straight into the gentleman in the suit between the eyebrows.

Bai Ye wouldn't meddle in other people's business, like blocking arrows, if they weren't his wife.

Seeing that the gentleman in the suit was really dead, the other people nearby became even more bewildered.

Bai Ye simply glanced at Victorique, who remained calm beside him, and smiled.

"Perhaps this is what they mean by 'If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear.'"

Upon hearing this, Victorique took out his pipe and took a small puff.

"Does having a guilty conscience mean ghosts are knocking on your door?"

"On this Queen Bailey, rumored to be haunted by ghostly vengeance, that saying is quite fitting!"

While Bai Ye was talking to Victorique, a group of men who were afraid to stay any longer ran out through the door that the gentleman had just risked his life to open.

A blond young man in a white suit ran up to Bai Ye and his companion, urging them to run quickly with him.

Both of them immediately saw through the other's trick, but...

"Hey, Victorica, is it really necessary to keep watching this farce going?"

Bai Ye then asked Victorique for her opinion.

"The fragments of chaos have been gathered, and the Fountain of Wisdom has deduced all the mysteries of this banquet."

From the very beginning, Bai Ye and Victorica knew that this was a trap for revenge.

Victorica was simply curious about how the other party would seek revenge. Now that the mystery has been solved, Bai Ye wanted to ask Victorica if it was still necessary to continue getting involved.

After all, Bai Ye already knew what had happened, and he only came here to accompany Victorica.

"but..."

"Bai Ye, you still don't understand, do you? My real pleasure is revealing the answer to the riddle in front of the questioner! Now that we've come this far, we can't give up halfway!"

"That!"

They agreed with Victorique's view that she wanted to continue following along.

The two of them then followed behind the crowd.

Candles were lit everywhere in the corridor, and a deep red carpet was underfoot. In stark contrast to the panicked expressions of the people in front, Bai Ye and Victorique, who were walking at the back, had leisurely expressions as if they were strolling in a garden.

Soon, the panicked crowd arrived at the deck of the cruise ship.

Then everyone was stunned.

Because right outside the ship, a torrential downpour had begun, with howling winds and lightning flashing across the sky, making the Queen Bailey seem like a ghost ship adrift at sea.

Seeing this, the crowd panicked even more and rushed to grab the lifeboats, wanting to get off the ghost ship as quickly as possible.

Little did they know that this would only hasten their deaths.

The men who managed to snag a spot on a lifeboat were secretly pleased that they had escaped.

But in the next instant, a huge wave swallowed them and their small boat into the sea.

The last man, who was pulled back by the girl in the red dress and didn't get on the lifeboat, was thankful to have witnessed this scene. But then he realized that staying on the boat would only mean waiting to die, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Hey! Bai Ye, even seeing so many people die before your eyes, you still feel nothing?"

Victorique, who had been observing from the sidelines, looked at Bai Ye and tentatively asked in a somewhat heavy tone.

However, Bai Ye simply smiled and responded in what seemed like a joke.

"Because none of these people in front of me have anything to do with me!"

"If it were Victorique who was about to be swallowed by the waves."

"Then who knows, in the next moment I might just split the entire ocean open for Victoria?"

"boast!"

Victorique curled her lip.

"However, is it not because of any excuse of justice or salvation that you refuse to save people, but simply because it has nothing to do with you?"

"Maybe we're actually quite compatible!"

"Of course! How about I protect Victoria from now on?"

Taking over Victorique's words, Bai Ye then proposed a promise to protect Victorique for the rest of his life.

However, perhaps because the atmosphere wasn't right, Victorica didn't agree or refuse. She just took a deep look at Bai Ye holding her little hand, and without saying a word, she pulled Bai Ye and the others back to the cabin.

However, the girl did not let go of Bai Ye's small hand, which clearly indicated her choice.

Chapter Thirty-Four: The Truth About the Ghost

"Ah! Ah~ Ah!"

On the way back to the cabin lounge, Bai Ye was delayed a bit because of her conversation with Victorica.

When we were halfway there, we heard terrified screams coming from the lounge ahead.

Bai Ye and Victorica exchanged glances, then sped off to the source of the sound.

The remaining three people stood in front of an open lounge door, their faces filled with terror, as if they had seen a ghost.

"I've had enough!"

The girl in the red dress was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, trembling as she raised her arm and pointed directly at the scene inside the lounge.

Looking towards the room the girl was pointing to, one could see that the room was now in a state of disrepair, like a ruin that had decayed for many years.

The walls were old, the floors were rotten, and the tables and chairs were moldy and smelly. Only the blood-red characters on the wall remained unchanged.

"The body from earlier is gone too."

The young man in the white suit was the first to speak.

Then everyone remembered and looked at the body of the gentleman who had been pierced by an arrow; sure enough, he had disappeared.

Bai Ye and Wei Bao were completely oblivious to this, but they certainly gave the last man in the suit quite a fright.

"It's a ghost!"

The last man in the suit began to back away in terror.

"It must be those guys... the hares are back!"

Because of his extreme fear, the man tripped over a table and chair while backing away and fell to the ground.

"Shut up! You should explain everything you know to them now!"

"After all, you knew it was a trap when Victorica was touching the model ship, and now you keep calling it a hare, so you must know something!"

She grabbed the man from the ground and shoved him onto the sofa next to her.

Bai Ye didn't want to listen to this group of people continue their charade.

“My name is Maurice, and I am actually an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Suvar.”

The man, who had been forced to calm down by Bai Ye, finally began to tell the story he knew.

"It was a morning ten years ago when I received an invitation from high-ranking officials to divine the course of the world war."

"When I heard that it was the famous fortune teller Morty at the time, I readily agreed to the request."

"Then that very night, the divination began."

Morris paused briefly at this point, thought for a moment, and then continued.

"They prepared a cruise ship, called the Queen Bailey."

"This cruise ship is a divination box. I heard from a diviner that all you need to do is gather rabbits from different countries in this divination box and let them fight each other. The country whose rabbits wins will be the victor in the world war."

"But how can you get a group of rabbits to fight each other?"

At this moment, the girl in the red dress beside him asked Morris a question, seemingly on purpose.

"What if I told you that those so-called wild rabbits weren't real wild rabbits at all, but rather young boys and girls who had been kidnapped and abused from various countries?"

Wow!

Her words stirred up a storm. The girl in the red dress clenched her fists, her eyes filled with hatred.

The blond man in the white suit frowned, as if he was recalling something.

Bai Ye and Victorica both had indifferent expressions. One of them frowned, and Victorica even glanced at Bai Ye, as if asking why the story Bai Ye had told her earlier was incomplete.

However, Maurice, engrossed in his recollection, paid no attention to the changes in everyone's expressions and simply murmured to himself.

"Dead! Dead!"

"In the end, they all died! The Queen Bailey eventually sank into the deep sea."

"And what was the final result of the divination?"

Throughout the story, Bai Ye was only somewhat curious about the authenticity of divination.

"I don't know! That's information only those at the higher levels can know."

Morris shook his head, then fear appeared in his eyes.

"All I know is that we are now in the ghost ship of the Queen Bailey, which sank ten years ago!"

"Ah! Hahaha! Those children... those children's ghosts have come to seek revenge on us adults who gathered them together!"

"It's over! We're all going to die here!"

By the end, Maurice could no longer contain his terror.

"Wow. Haha. Haha. Haha..."

The response to Maurice's terrified scream was Victorique's cheerful laughter, as if she were reading it aloud.

"What's wrong? What's so funny?"

Hearing Victorique's fake laugh, Maurice stood up angrily as if he himself had been mocked.

"Sit down!"

Bai Ye immediately pushed the uncle who was about to yell at his wife back down.

Victorique saw this scene and a faint smile appeared on her lips. After thinking of something, she straightened her face and began to explain to the people in front of her.

You're saying there are ghosts here?

Victorique took out an invitation and placed it on the table.

"Ah! I received that one too!"

"Yes, mine was too. Someone secretly put it in my car."

Upon seeing the invitation, the young woman and man standing nearby suddenly chimed in.

"Then let me ask you this: do you think a ghost would write an invitation and send it to your house?"
