During the brief stalemate, Tasia's heart beat violently. Fortunately, Phillip didn't insist on anything. He looked into Tasia's eyes affectionately and whispered, "Okay, do whatever is convenient for you, I will be there." Waiting for you here."
Gustav also bowed slightly to Tasia and lowered his head in submission.
Tasia tried her best to make a smiling expression, then pulled Meyer around quickly and trotted towards the door.
The door quickly closed behind them, the music stopped abruptly with the closing sound, and the entire corridor was empty.
Tasia looked around and saw that there was no one here. She originally wanted to go out and find someone to ask where Fayance was, but she had no other choice at the moment.
"...Let's go," Tasia boldly walked towards the elevator, "It should be this way..."
The further they moved forward, the slower and hesitant their steps became, and Tasia felt that everything in front of her eyes gradually felt strange.
...Are there any turns here?
...Is there a window there?
...Is there a small three-story staircase in front of the elevator entrance on this floor?
All of this made her feel wrong.
"Tasia," Meyer pulled her back, "let's go back..."
"But we're almost there," Tasia pointed to the elevator in front of her, "Look, as long as we take the elevator over there, we can get back to Agnes very quickly."
Meyer looked puzzled again.
"Come." Tasia took Meyer a few steps forward and guided her to follow her up the steps to the elevator entrance. "Be careful, the steps feel a little unstable... Meyer?"
The moment the elevator door opened, Tasia felt a vague cool sea breeze.
"Meyer," Tasia took Meyer's hand again, "Come on, let's get into the elevator."
"……Where do you have elevators?"
For a moment, a flash of fear flashed through Tasia's heart, but her feet had already stepped into the car under the inertia of the movement.
With a sudden loss of balance, the cold light of the silver-white elevator in front of him began to dissipate, and was replaced by a silent night sky like blue velvet——
"Tasia!"
At the critical moment, Meyer kicked over the short ladder under Tasia's feet and hugged her waist tightly. Tasia's entire upper body hung outside the window. She screamed, grabbed the window edge tightly, and held on to the window edge. With the help of Meyer, he turned back in embarrassment.
When she looked up again, she realized that the "elevator" just now was the window, and the steps that appeared out of thin air were small iron ladders used to assist cleaning.
Tasia's expression turned pale instantly. She took a big breath and her mind went blank.
However, when she regained her composure and looked up again, the elevator and window were gone, replaced by a tightly locked metal door with the words "Electricity Danger" written on it, and the small iron ladder on the ground was also It turned into a wooden ladder of the same size.
She reached out and touched it, but the wooden steps felt cold and metallic.
"...Go back." Meyer whispered, "It's so strange here."
"Okay..." Tasia stood up again, but turned around. The road they came from had turned into a seemingly endless corridor, and the door leading to Bishop's restaurant disappeared.
"This way!" Meyer pulled Tasia back, "Tasia, this way!"
Tasia looked warily in Meyer's direction - in her eyes, that was not the entrance to Bishop's Restaurant, but the stairway opposite the elevator entrance. She had gone all the way down from this place and took pictures. After entering the locked building door, she was finally rescued by Putinna on the second deck.
Meyer quickly dragged her to the door. Tasia suddenly grabbed Meyer's hand and shouted, "No, Meyer, stop! That's not a restaurant over there!"
"...Isn't it?" Meyer looked at the ajar door in front of her. She had already seen people coming and going behind the ajar door.
Tasia covered Meyer's eyes and closed her own eyes tightly. After a while, they looked at the door in front of them at the same time: everything changed again.
They both shuddered at the same time.
"What should I do...?" Meyer looked sideways at Tasia, "How could this happen?"
"Don't be afraid, don't worry..." Tasia felt her palms full of sweat. She couldn't tell whether the sweat was her own or from Meyer's palm. "Ah, wait for me!"
Tasia remembered something, took out her phone again, and turned back to the night activity suggestions section.
Meyer also came over to watch.
Tasia's thumb pressed the down button frantically, quickly pulling the enlarged picture to the bottom.
"Found it!" She pointed at the screen and spoke in a low voice, "Look at the 18 items...' There are deck maps of this floor at all venue entrances and elevator entrances. When passengers are lost, they can choose to check it or wait for the patrol crew in place. Don't worry about it. Any passenger leads the way'."
Tasia held her breath as thoughts flashed through her mind again.
"...That is to say, whether it is the restaurant entrance or the elevator door, there must be a deck map." She quickly looked sideways at Meyer, "Is there a map hanging next to the restaurant door you saw just now?"
Meyer blinked, "...I didn't pay attention."
"Neither did I..." Tasia frowned, "But no matter what, as long as you follow the rules, you should be fine..."
"Can you show me again?"
Tasia handed over the phone.
The two sat on the thick carpet and discussed in low voices. The scene in front of them kept changing, like a loosely structured nightmare. The only thing that remained unchanged was the hands that the two of them held together. They held each other tightly, fearing that Once released, the living companion on the other side will blend into this weird cabin corridor and disappear.
"In this way, we will walk down the aisle to see if we can meet the crew," Tasia whispered. "The rules say that the loss of consciousness will subside on its own as the voyage continues...as long as we don't push around. If you don't follow anyone suspicious, you will always find a way out."
…
Chiba's room.
Several crew members successfully opened the door from the outside - Hesta and Rico were waiting in the room. The blank list of prohibited and restricted items had been placed on the table in the middle of the room, held down by a teacup.
"Good evening, Ms. Hestad."
"Thank you for making a special trip," Hesta said softly, "I was worried before that if the only list of prohibited items on this ship was mine, you wouldn't come."
"How is that possible?" the crew member replied. "Even if you have the only list of prohibited and restricted items, we will come over and confirm with you. What's more, your list is not the only one."
"...?" Hesta raised his head upon hearing the sound, "What, where else is there?"
The crewman put down the document bag in his arms, "This is another blank copy taken from Gobelin, please check it."
