"Damn, did you hook up with a rich woman so quickly?"
If it weren't for seeing it with his own eyes, Huai Shi would never believe it.
This was clearly their teammate who didn't meet them in the corridor.
Looking at the way they were acting intimately, as if there was no one else around, with only love in their eyes, Huai Shi and the others were blinded by their actions.
Wait a minute.
Who is the matchmaker here, you or me?
Wait, I'm not even...

"It seems that he's good at flattery."
Ai Qing's voice was cold, "If my cousin has any redeeming qualities, it's that he knows how to read people's moods, especially when it comes to pleasing old people like her. He's a genius..."
"Let's order first."
Lao Xiao sighed and looked away. He must have felt complicated seeing his colleague become a prostitute so quickly.
Not long after, Ni Heng, who had bid farewell to his "girlfriend," came back with a smug look on his face, seemingly wanting to show off his communication skills. But when he saw the complicated expressions of his teammates, he pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
It's worth mentioning that even though it was the year 1620, the menu had surprisingly modern dishes, and Huai Shi's random ordering skills were surprisingly good, reaching a decent level.
At this moment, KP's voice suddenly sounded, "Now that everyone is almost here, you can conduct an 'investigation'."
Immediately, Huai Shi heard the sound of dice rolling, as if KP was judging everyone's investigation skills.
Soon, he heard KP's astonished voice.
"86? Amazing! Your investigation skill didn't even pass 85. How unlucky are you?"
Ai Qing didn't say anything.
Huai Shi's vision blurred, and he realized that the restaurant was crowded and chaotic, and he hadn't seen anything.
He mourned in his heart. With a dice roll of 100, he could succeed as long as it was below 85. Why did it have to be so close... What's up with this luck?
Fortunately, Lao Xiao and the others didn't hide this information. With their guidance, Huai Shi quickly noticed several people who stood out among the crowd.
Well, they stood out in the eyes of others, but they seemed ordinary to Huai Shi.
In the center of the restaurant, there was a table filled with various dishes, and only a bronze-skinned young man sat there, with a faint golden pattern painted on his face, as if he came from Egypt.
Although he was sitting at the table, he hadn't touched the dishes with his knife and fork. Instead, he placed his fat cat on the table and let it eat to its heart's content.
In the entire restaurant, it seemed that only the smile of that young man was genuine, relaxed, and joyful.
Next was the pair of siblings who were arguing... no, it should be said that the older brother was being scolded unilaterally. They seemed to come from a good background, and their postures during the meal were elegant and dignified. The brother, who had lost all his teeth, could only sip porridge and thick soup in small sips, while the sister didn't mind greasy food and had a huge appetite.
Lastly, there was the "couple" sitting silently at the corner. The wife had heavy makeup that couldn't hide her dusty aura, while the husband was as ugly as a big-eyed goldfish, with an abnormally pale complexion.
And then there was Clement, sitting silently in the corner, staring blankly at the waves outside the window, not saying a word and not eating anything.
"These are probably the important characters in the plot."
After pondering for a moment, Lao Xiao said, "I wonder how you all interpret the secret that KP mentioned?"
"Don't speak." Ai Qing's voice suddenly sounded in Huai Shi's ear, "Look at the expressions of the others."
The sound of dice rolling came, and Ai Qing used her investigation skill.
In an instant, Huai Shi saw the changes in everyone's expressions: Lao Xiao looked calm as if he had already planned something, Lei Feizhou became vigilant, Yue Jun looked curious, and only Ni Heng, the character card of Prostitution, showed a hint of resistance and displeasure...
There was no doubt that Lao Xiao was also observing everyone's expressions, but Huai Shi remained calm and unresponsive, like a puppet made of clay.
He appeared mysterious and inscrutable.
"Tsk, Lao Xiao, the Inspector, beat us to it."
Ai Qing glanced at the calm Inspector. She suspected that he was the first one to notice the "cognitive interference" mentioned by KP.
She had planned to bring up this question first to take the initiative, but she was one step too late.
"What's the use?""Being able to make basic judgments." Ai Qing explained, "Putting Lao Xiao aside, Lei Feizhou is more sensitive to this issue, and it can be judged that his secret is more crucial. Yue Jun's secret as a supervisor is relatively less important, but Yin Yan's reaction is quite interesting... You don't need to speak, just see what Lao Xiao is going to say next."
"I didn't mean to inquire about everyone's secrets. On the contrary, I think it is right to have reservations before determining that we can trust each other," Lao Xiao continued.
"However, this module requires us to work together to pass. I think before that, everyone can disclose some relatively unimportant information to establish further trust. What do you think?"
Yin Yan frowned, "What do you want to ask?"
"Holy Marks," Lao Xiao said slowly, "Everyone's Holy Marks shouldn't reveal any secrets, right? Moreover, if we want to cooperate, this is also basic information, right? If you want to keep it confidential, just don't mention your inherent skills and talents."
Silence ensued.
"Do you want to say it?" Huai Shi asked.
Ai Qing's tone was calm, "Never be the first one to try something new. Let others go first, you just need to watch Lao Xiao—wanting to have the best of both worlds is not that simple."
In the silence, Lao Xiao remained calm. Seeing that no one spoke, he had to speak first, "Mine is a third-tier Holy Mark called 'Stitched Man' from a declining lineage."
Stitched Man, collectively known as 'Frankenstein,' is a new type of Holy Mark born from the combination of alchemy and tombstone lineage. It has only existed for five hundred years and belongs to a relatively niche type.
However, it should mainly enhance basic attributes. In short, it has high defense and thick blood. As for the rest, Lao Xiao did not reveal.
While speaking, Lao Xiao rolled up his sleeves, revealing the stitching marks on his arm and two pieces of skin with completely different colors, proving the truth of what he said.
Lao Xiao was the first to be open and honest.
Then, Yue Jun, who had always had little presence, responded first and revealed his Holy Mark, "Third-tier Headless Knight."
This is a quite famous Holy Mark and does not need much explanation. Saying that, Yue Jun lowered his collar, revealing the circular scar on his neck that looked like a beheading.
Next was Lei Feizhou. He directly popped out five slender and sharp claws like blades, then quickly retracted them, "Third-tier Werewolf."
Finally, only Yin Yan and Huai Shi were left.
Sensing Huai Shi's gaze, Yin Yan immediately became annoyed, "Why are you looking at me? You speak first!"
"You've already spoken, why didn't you speak first?" Huai Shi retorted, "Are you afraid that I won't speak after listening?"
Yin Yan was momentarily speechless and hesitated for a while before reluctantly saying, "Second-tier Red Hat."
As he spoke, his figure blurred for a moment and became semi-transparent.
Red Hat, the prototype of monsters such as goblins and gnomes in legends... They are best at ambush, theft, and hiding. When they are invisible, even most equipment and third-tier Sublimators find it difficult to see through them. They can be said to be a Holy Mark with considerable survival ability.
But everyone else is third-tier, and he is the only one who is second-tier, which makes him feel particularly embarrassed. After speaking, he glared at Huai Shi, "What about you? Don't just listen and run away."
His expression was angry but also carried a hint of anticipation, as if hoping that Huai Shi would be a first-tier, even lower than himself.
Huai Shi smiled slightly, about to speak, but heard Ai Qing's voice, "Don't tell the truth, tell them that you are a third-tier Evil Spirit from the Nordic lineage."
Although he was puzzled, Huai Shi did not go against it and followed Ai Qing's command, reaching out to grab Yin Yan's wrist.
The cold five fingers seemed to startle him, and he quickly broke free, guarding against Huai Shi, "What do you want to do?"
"Prove it, how can I prove it without taking a bit of your source material?" Huai Shi retorted, "Do you want to manifest in public?"
In fact, in legends, as a soul attached to a person after a demon's death, an evil spirit's appearance is quite similar to that of a vampire, with pale skin like a corpse, no body temperature, and a cold body. Their temperament is gloomy, and their eyes are blood-red.
Even their fighting styles are characterized by agility and sneakiness. The only difference is that one sucks blood and the other extracts souls. The types of food should not be too similar.
As long as Huai Shi doesn't publicly suck blood, he shouldn't reveal himself for a considerable amount of time.
And no one at the table would dare to be bold enough to let an evil spirit extract their source material. If Huai Shi turned out to be a second-tier junkie and sucked them dry, who would they reason with?
"Alright, alright, everyone stop arguing."Seeing that the two were about to start fighting, Old Xiao mediated in the middle. After the two finally calmed down, he made the final conclusion: "It seems that everyone's Holy Mark is a creature of darkness, isn't it?"
Whether in terms of characteristics or appearances, only this classification was undeniable.
Everyone belonged to the evil side in the legends...
"Why lie?" Huai Shi quietly asked, "Isn't the chance of being exposed quite high?"
"Are you stupid? Didn't you hear what Old Xiao just said? Everyone is a creature of darkness... Don't forget, you belong to the Holy Spirit lineage!"
After being reminded by Ai Qing, Huai Shi finally realized that he was Van Helsing, a demon hunter!
Wait... does that mean I'm the mole?
For a moment, he felt a little scared. As he scrutinized these people, they all seemed like henchmen and allies brought by Parasus Sel.
"Besides, Old Xiao might not have hidden something from you." Ai Qing hinted, "A piece of suture, two pieces of differently colored skin, doesn't prove anything. Even the Holy Mark of the Stitcher might be a disguise to mislead you. Except for Yue Jun, who can't disguise his features, everyone else might be lying."
The deep affection for his teammates that had just emerged in Huai Shi's heart instantly cooled by more than half.
This was the most disgusting part about secrets.
Once suspicion began, everything became doubtful.
As he looked elsewhere with a heavy heart, he suddenly heard the sound of dice rolling. It seemed like KP had made some kind of judgment. Then, Huai Shi suddenly saw the figure in the corner of the dining room.
The silver-haired girl he had met when boarding the ship.
And the handkerchief she carried with her.
He vaguely remembered the letter on it...
