Chapter 8: The Intruder(1/2)
Time passes by little by little.
As the sky faded, the passengers who were staying on the deck of the Astorlogis began to slowly return to the cabin.
The passengers who had not yet had enough fun at the beginning chose to stop in the corridor after dining, chatting and laughing, and continuing the topic of not having enough fun. Before, the deck not only enjoyed the sea view, but also made social activities, making new friends with their own purposes.
During this period, you can occasionally see coolies. When they come and go, they are mostly hired by customers to carry large luggage on the ship, or do cleaning work and go to the restaurant to deal with kitchen waste under the supervision of the supervisor.
But gradually, when time officially entered the night, the lively sound in the corridor became smaller and smaller, until finally, calmed down and became the initial silence.
During all this period, no one noticed that there was a little wolf cub hiding in the blind spots of his vision, and he glanced at each of them over and over again with his scrutiny eyes.
But as for the results...
Liao Zixuan was a little disappointed. He did not find any suspicious people. Even if he risked being alert, he lost the player's detection skills one by one. However, the character panel given was given, and all of these passengers on the ship were very low-level ordinary people.
By the way, Liao Zixuan never saw her appear again after the female astrology warrior on the deck. I wonder if she had never come out after staying in the room.
so...
Who is this intruder?
In my impression, the intruder appeared when it was completely dark. Now it was a short while away from that level. Taking advantage of this skill, Liao Zixuan finally recalled carefully and sorted out clues from his "last" experience.
The most intuitive thing is of course the two words he heard from the "intruder" before his consciousness disappeared.
The other party's voice was hoarse, and it was necessary to let Liao Zixuan describe it, as if he had suffered a wound in his throat.
The first sentence of the intruder is "Die, witch."
The second sentence is...
It seems like the shocking sound after seeing something completely unexpected?
Let’s not mention the second sentence for now, Liao Zixuan is completely confused, but the first sentence gives him great useful information.
Could the "witch" here refer to the little girl, Vivian?
So the other party will launch an attack and break into the room late at night to assassinate it is... the witch?
etc.
So, is this "intruder" still from the good people's camp? Because as we all know, in the eyes of the world, "witch" is a symbol of disaster and disaster.
Using this as a breakthrough, Liao Zixuan followed the reasoning and made the outline of the incident clearer.
Right now...
This "intruder" is likely to be the guardian of the Astorlogis? Or a hidden powerful figure on the ship, and has a deep obsession and hatred for the witch.
Unintentionally, after using unknown means to detect Vivian's identity as a witch, he planned the subsequent episode including poisoning and assassination late at night?
The more I think about it, the more I feel it makes sense. Liao Zixuan can still find evidence.
It can prove that this "intruder" is not planning for a long time, but the key information of the temporary decision, that is, the other party does not know the existence of Xiuyan.
Although the little wolf cub couldn't move at that time, he could still sense the surprise and tension when the other party broke into the room and found that there was still Xinyan protecting Vivian.
It can also be seen from this that the "intruder"'s hard power is not strong, at least not to the point of crushing.
Looking at various combinations...
If the possibility of "Zhao Jie" is ruled out.
A figure that has been subconsciously ignored by Liao Zixuan quietly surfaced.
Could it be...he?
...
...
The dark clouds covered the moon, making the already dark night even more invisible.
It was late at night and most people on the ship fell asleep. There was no need to worry about the navigation of the Astorlogis. Naturally, "Heart of the Sea" had full authority to adjust automatically.
On the cabin floor, a slight sound of footsteps sounded in vain in the corridor where Vivian's room was located.
Even in such a quiet night, it would be difficult to catch if Liao Zixuan had not been fully focused and was waiting for the rabbit. It can be seen that the owner of the footsteps was very cautious.
Moreover, the other party was deliberately bypassing the lights in the corridor and moving forward against the shadows beside the wall.
But after all, there are always one or two places that can be fully covered by the light. Finally, when it is already very close to Vivian's room, it is the next turn...
With the yellow-brown light, Liao Zixuan saw clearly the appearance of the footsteps.
and...
It was indeed exactly what he guessed.
Treasurely robbed clothes, windbreakers covering the whole body, hoods covering the head, and...
Under the hood, the light flashed by, and the face wrapped in bandages.
It's that person, during the day...
Weird coolie!
The first time I fell off the goods, it can be said that I didn’t hold them firmly, but after the second experience, I happened to meet Vivian and didn’t hold the goods in my arms. If I put aside the extremely slight probability, there was only one possibility.
Because he was too nervous and shocked after discovering Vivian's identity as a "witch", he failed for a moment.
In this way, everything was explained. During the first experience, the supervisor and the coolie and his group also heard Zhao Jie chatting with them, so they naturally knew that Zhao Jie highly recommended the boiled fish dish to Vivian.
As a coolie, you can go to and from the restaurant’s back kitchen to clean up kitchen waste, and there is also a chance to poison it.
In the shadow, the little wolf cub shook his head.
He should have thought of it long ago.
First, he was confused by "Zhao Jie", and second, this weird coolie acted too cowardly in two experiences. He was obviously suspected of bullying by the supervisor, who was insulted, kicked and beaten without any resistance, and was slaughtered by others.

brush!
The little wolf cub moved.
Since the intruder's true identity was confirmed, Liao Zixuan decided to try to communicate with the other party first to see if he could resolve the hostility brought by the identity of the "witch" through dialogue.
"who!"
At the moment when Liao Zixuan threw his "detection" skills at the other party, as expected, the more powerful the character is, the more sensitive he is to such things. The bandage coolie immediately tensed his whole body and his eyes swept around.
Finally, Kuli stared at the eyes, and his eyes were exposed in the gaps in the bandage, with doubts and strong vigilance in his eyes. It seemed that he had been ambushing for a long time, and he had been waiting for his own...
youth?
"If I remember correctly, your name is...An, right?" Liao Zixuan said first.
At the same time, I looked at the panel of the character given by the detection skills.
【???
【Level: lv40】
【Profession: Witch】
【Status: Severe Burn,???】
【Skills: Pray, Quick Learning, Melee Intermediate Mastery, Advanced Affinity of Fire Elements,???】
【Danger degree:...None】
(People who should not have existed were able to reappear under the gaze of the gods, and their stars and orbits were intertwined)
Liao Zixuan's expression on his face was as before, but in fact, the more he looked at this "An" panel prompt, the more he was, the more he was surprised.
Witch?
Also a witch!?
So it was her, not him?
And, the degree of danger... None? What does this mean? And the last weird note?
The detection skills not only did not help Liao Zixuan, but instead made him less and less sure what to do. Moreover, Liao Zixuan had to suppress his chaotic thoughts in his heart because the other party spoke.
"Who are you? Are you waiting for me on purpose?" A familiar hoarse voice rang.
"Yes, my name is Bai, as for waiting for you... indeed, because I know what you are going to do next, if I guess correctly, you want to break into, you found it during the day, in the room of another witch on the boat, right?"
Liao Zixuan said calmly, and saw that after he spoke, the vigilance that appeared on the opposite side of An was stronger.
then...
"Don't be nervous, can I hear why first? You are also a witch, but you... want to kill each other? Are you witches like this?"
The bandage coolie named "An"... Bandage Witch, she stared at Liao Zixuan.
From the young man, she felt a strong sense of oppression, and from the other party's meaning, she completely blocked her own path. Obviously, if she didn't say it clearly, she would not let herself go or act.
"Who are you?" the bandage witch asked again.
"You can understand me as the guardian of this Astorlogis. My duty is to protect the safety of this ship and avoid all dangerous factors. Obviously, what Miss An is going to do next is very dangerous and very dangerous."
