Outside Huai Shi's door, there were already chaotic screams and roars.

Someone ran out of their room as if they were escaping for their life, but they were immediately pinned down by their already crazed companions and devoured.

"Help! Help! You lunatics!"

The voice of fear screamed, seeking help, but it only attracted more and more crazed individuals, until finally, it was drowned out by the greedy chewing.

There was no more sound.

But immediately after, more voices came.

Those were the murmurs, murmurs, and murmurs without any reason, echoing in intermittent roars, entwining around people's ears. The meaningless words made Huai Shi annoyed, and he couldn't help but feel the urge to kill and crush the creators of these murmurs.

—Anyone who murmurs shall die!

He gasped heavily, feeling dizzy, until a cup of cold water was splashed on his face, waking him up from Ai Qing's cold warning.

Sweat poured down his back.

"What's going on?" He looked at Lily in confusion.

Lily remained silent, pointing to the broken porthole outside Huai Shi's room.

Between the dark sea and sky.

The sky was like a rocky iron, pitch black, but it was hard to distinguish the distance, as if it was unreachable, but it weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

Hard to breathe.

The eerie ocean remained calm, without even a ripple.

But on the mirror-like surface of the sea, a moon that did not exist in the sky was reflected.

The crimson moon emitted countless rays of light from its hazy appearance, like thin blood vessels extending in all directions. The crimson moon did not ascend to the sky, but sank into the depths of the sea, coldly staring at this group of insignificant ants in the endless abyss.

Then, madness rained down.

Just by looking at the shattered pupils of the red moon, Huai Shi felt his vision darken, a dry cough in his throat, craving for blood.

"A curse?"

Huai Shi murmured softly.

With the arrival of eternal night, the curse of the gods on these abandoned ones finally came to this void sea... Under the reflection of the crimson moon, all sanity and reason would be gradually stripped away, and then, instinct and desire would be revealed without disguise.

Thus, the dark ocean had become the backdrop, and this cruise ship was the carefully arranged stage. The fallen ones who were abandoned would perform the final farce of submission and their original sins for the gods.

But at this moment...

"No, they clearly chose this time." Ai Qing said coldly, "If it was really Lei Feizhou's doing, then he must have colluded with the gods who are now intercepting us... Maybe this is his secret mission."

At other times, although the people on the ship would inevitably be affected, they could still restrain themselves to some extent. But when the wolf disaster broke out, who could guarantee that they would not be affected?

Any trace of killing intent would be magnified a hundredfold.

In other words, as long as they guarded their minds and became good people, they could be safe. Perhaps this was the gods' last mercy. Unfortunately, who among the people on this ship could restrain their inherent sins and choose to be good?

Once they became accustomed to solving problems with bloodshed, they would inevitably be swallowed by their own violence and madness when faced with this situation.

And then they would perish in the flames they ignited.

Including... Fan Haixin.

Upon the crimson moon in the sea, Huai Shi reluctantly withdrew his gaze, feeling a wave of dizziness and pain in a daze.

It felt as if his blood was flowing in reverse.

He staggered back and sat down on the ground, gasping heavily, cold sweat constantly seeping from his forehead. He had just sucked blood to his heart's content, but now he felt an indescribable thirst.

A burning sensation came from his pocket.

He took out the scorching coin and saw the burning cross mark on it, as well as the furious expression of the archangel on the back.

Holding the thunder and thorns, the punishment from the Holy Spirit lineage had now descended upon him.

"Damn it!"

He couldn't help but scream, curling up his body, feeling the intense pain seeping from his bones. The archbishop's orders and urging were like burning silver, tearing his soul apart and rewriting the irresistible command on his body.

—Find Paracelsus and burn that damn abomination and his blasphemous creation to ashes!

"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven..."

In a daze, he heard gentle whispers, like prayers, echoing in his ears. A drop of cold water fell on his head, extinguishing the flames that seemed to burn him to ashes, gradually moistening his cheeks, like water soaking into dry land.

He struggled to open his eyes and saw Lily kneeling on the ground, praying softly, holding a cup of water in her hand.The water droplets remaining in the cup fell onto his face, emitting a faint holy light.

A quick look at tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.

It felt like being baptized again.

Through this bathing ritual, the original sin was cleansed.

The holy water made from the prayers of the believers diluted the pain to a tolerable level... allowing him to find a moment of respite.

But Lily reached out and pried open his mouth, roughly flipping his teeth and catching a glimpse of the silver alloy that had been injected into his dental pulp. She couldn't help but frown and ask, "Isn't this too cruel... Who engraved such harsh rules on you?"

"Ahaha, let's just say... it's a chastisement from my old father."

Huai Shi gasped for breath as he got up from the ground, took the cup, and drank the last drop of water in one gulp. Finally, he felt a little alive.

Just a little...

"Ai Qing, is there anything wrong with my card now?"

"It has gained a new state called 'Punishment of the Oath.'"

Ai Qing's voice was hoarse, perhaps due to the lingering dizziness. Even her voice sounded a bit blurry. "It enhances your physical strength and resilience, but before you put a silver coin into the blood of Paracelsus, it will judge you every six hours, causing pain and deducting your health points forcibly. The state will end after thirty-six hours."

"So, I'll be free?" Huai Shi asked.

"No, you will be forced to die."

Ai Qing bit her lip and tightly held the armrest, not telling him the second half of the sentence: "Along with me."

On her pale hand, the purple veins burst, causing intense pain that still lingered in her body, tormenting what little willpower she had left.

With Huai Shi's condition improving, she finally had a bit of strength to catch her breath. She wiped the cold sweat from her face and looked at KP.

"Is this also your trick?"

"The so-called 'live and die together' is just like this."

KP supported his chin with his palm, observing her disheveled appearance. "Why didn't you tell that kid the severity of the situation? He should have some sense of vigilance. If he knew the consequences, he wouldn't be so passive and negligent."

"Yes."

Ai Qing nodded slightly, lowered her head, and looked at the thin paper representing Huai Shi. She couldn't help but laugh softly. "That guy, as long as there's pressure, he will do everything quickly. If we use this information to guide him a little, he can complete any task beautifully, no matter what it is. But you didn't understand one thing—He is not your hostage, and he won't be your puppet."

Ai Qing raised her eyes and stared at the smiling man in front of her, telling him word by word, "KP, our game is not over yet. Until I smash your chessboard and dice on your face..."

"No matter what you want, I won't let you have it!"

KP's expression froze for a moment, then he raised an eyebrow, seeming even more expectant.

"I'll be watching."

.

.

"So, we have to take action now, right?"

Huai Shi finally caught his breath and took out his equipment from the suitcase, putting them on one by one.

"In this turbulent time, other malicious people will probably take advantage of the situation. Regardless, it's a good time to fulfill our mission and plot... I have to say, that guy Lei Feizhou, the inspector, did a good job."

Ai Qing said coldly, "If you want to protect yourself, you will only lose more than you gain. We have already been involved. It will be too late when they come knocking on the door."

"Alright."

Huai Shi nodded and finally fastened the axe to the buckle on his waist. He twisted his stiff neck and said, "Let me see what tricks that Lei Feizhou is up to."

Lily looked at him getting ready to go, shaking her head unhappily. "Are you still planning to go out?"

"After all, the old fathers can't wait any longer."

Huai Shi looked down at the mark on the back of his hand and shook his head helplessly. "When I leave later, seal the door and don't let anyone in."

"I thought you would ask for my assistance." Lily glanced at the terms on the book and nodded knowingly. "Are you planning to keep this favor for later?"

"What favor?" Huai Shi couldn't help but laugh. "Even without me, you wouldn't have any trouble, right?"

Compared to her carefree doppelganger, he was the one who couldn't save even a single person after struggling for so long. How could he have the face to ask for a favor?

"If you don't ask for a reward, why bother saving someone who has nothing to do with you?" She furrowed her brows in confusion. "Are you one of those people who feel happy after helping others, as the book says?"

"Let's just say that."

Huai Shi waved his hand nonchalantly. "Although I'm not sure if it's for showing off or vanity, there's one thing I'm sure of—"

He looked at the girl in front of him one last time and chuckled softly. "I'm really glad to see that you're still alive."

Enjoying her stunned expression, Huai Shi pushed open the door, closed it behind him, and sealed the narrow space along with it.

Then, he casually used his dagger to pin the ghostly creature that pounced on him to the opposite wall.

Blood gushed out.

The beastly corpse struggled desperately, but soon, its nerves were dissolved by the toxin in the sword oil, and it stopped moving.The noisy screams and roars came from a nearby place, and the pungent smell of blood permeated the air, which was refreshing.

Feeling the ferocity and murderous intent surging in his chest.

"Come—"

Facing the dark figures rushing towards him, Huai Shi took a deep breath, and a grim curve appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Let me see if your development is normal or not!"

He took a step forward.

Stepping into the disaster caused by the wolf calamity.
