Chapter 145: The Wheel Of Karma!
Not long after, Su Chen, who finished his work, pushed a cart full of dirty linen and walked towards the laundry room.
Coming here, Su Chen found that Estier was also there.
I probably asked about the little girl's situation, and the result was the same as myself.
The two didn't say any more, and started to pile up the dirty towels, dirty sheets, etc. they were responsible for in specific areas.
While he was working, Su Chen happened to glance at the window from the corner of his eye.
Then he couldn't help being taken aback.
There is something wrong with the Fu doll in red on the window.
The two dolls, who were supposed to congratulate each other, were facing the same direction at this moment.
Follow the direction that Fuwawa's eyes are looking at all the way.
Su Chen's eyes finally settled on a wooden hanging sign on the wall.
A few words were written on the sign in an unknown language.
Translated by a mysterious force, it is "laundry room".
And that's not the point.
The point is, there seems to be some nicks in the lower right corner of this listing.
Due to the distance, Su Chen didn't see the specific pattern for a while.
Seeing this, Su Chen stepped forward.
As he got closer and closer to the listing, his brows gradually frowned.
Because the pattern on the lower right corner of the listing is clearly a copper bell.
It was exactly the same as the one hanging in my room.
Su Chen gradually felt something was wrong.
I checked the appearance of the listing and found nothing unusual.
Su Chen directly reached out and took down the sign.
With the signs reversed.
A piece of paper taped on the back of the wooden sign caught his eye.
Through the back of the paper, one can vaguely see that the front is full of beans.
At this time, Estier was also busy and noticed Su Chen's strangeness.
So he walked over.
"Have you found anything?"
"look."
As he spoke, Su Chen held up the sign to the little girl.
"Could it be a clue?"
"may be."
"Then why don't you take it off and take a look."
Estier was a little excited.
Su Chen was just the opposite, his brows were still frowning together.
"Don't you think it's a bit deliberate?"
As he said, Su Chen pointed to Fuwa on the window, then moved along Fuwa's line of sight, and finally settled on the area where the trapped cards were placed before.
"You suspect there's something wrong with that?"
"Uh...you can't say that, after all, you haven't read the content yet."
"Then what are you doing here, why don't you take a quick look?"
"I'm doing psychological prevention. Try to strip away my subjective views and prepare to look at it as a bystander, so as to prevent this thing from being really problematic and accidentally being led by the nose."
After Su Chen finished speaking, Estier's snow-white face was slightly confused.
But soon her eyes lit up.
"Thank you teacher for your guidance, I am taught again."
Su Chen smiled slightly.
"When you go out in the future, remember to come to me to pay the tuition fee. I heard that your family is in the gold and diamond mines owned by the gold state. It shouldn't be short of money, right?"
"No problem, I will take care of all the jewelry for Master Mistress from now on."
Estier waved his hand generously.
Seeing this, Su Chen couldn't help complaining in his heart.
As expected of a capitalist.
Look at the courage.
The key is to see and know who to please.
Su Chen shook his head helplessly, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, putting aside these thoughts.
After making himself objective enough, he took off the piece of paper.
Turn over the paper.
The densely packed text caught the eyes of the two of them.
If you can get some notes, it shows the following things.
1. You are a housekeeping staff!
2. I managed to survive!
3. My reasoning is correct, you are worthy of reference.
I think you should have discovered the weirdness of this cruise ship!
Inexplicable oriental items.
Clueless staff rules.
Strange disease that randomly infects.
The mysterious captain with a bad temper.
All signs indicate that this ship is not normal!
That's right! You're not mistaken, there are tricks on board!
But don't be afraid, read on, "it" is not too dangerous.
Believe me, I survived after all!
And, I want to tell you one more thing.
You've seen "it".
Last night, you put incense on "it"!]
Seeing this, Yinfeng was startled with fear.
That strange statue turned out to be as I guessed, not the Sea God!
On the contrary, it is weird!
Then why does the staff code let itself be weird?
Su Chen felt something strange in his heart.
But soon, he drove away these doubts and continued to look down.
[Presumably you are wondering now, why the employee handbook makes you do such a dangerous job.
Don't worry, you'll find out soon.
Next, please listen to me tell you a story.
This is what an old sailor told me.
"It" was once a crew member of this ship.
But unfortunately, during a trip to sea, because "it" insisted on going its own way, it refused to listen to dissuasion.
Unfortunately fell (ajfa) into the sea.
When the crew found out, although the rescue was launched immediately.
But it was too late.
"It" was completely buried in this vast sea.
In grief, all the crew held a grand funeral for "it", hoping that "it" could rest in peace.
Unfortunately, things backfired.
I don't know if it is the influence of some mysterious power on the bottom of the sea.
Or "it" resentment is too dignified, unwilling to dissipate.
In the end, "it" came back as an invisible weirdness.
Since that day, the ship has never had a peaceful day.
During the day, the seabirds are the eyes of "It", looking for prey, and at night, the paper figurine is the incarnation of "It", slaying its soul.
Countless passengers were brutally murdered, and even "it"'s former colleagues and staff members were killed from time to time.
Victims initially had red, swollen skin.
Then began to fester.
Until the whole body rots and stinks, it is like a corpse sunk in the deep sea, being eaten by ten thousand fish.
Eventually, they will become
Forget it, you don't want to see that scene.
In this panic and hopeless situation, the captain stood up.
I personally went to Room 444, where it lived.
No one knew what they talked about, or what happened.
After the captain came back, he was silent for a day without saying a word.
Finally, he called the crew of the whole ship and said.
'It' has no consciousness, it only acts on instinct, and fails to communicate. "
"So, we have to save ourselves."
Then, he wrote an "employee code" and a "visitor code".
And ordered that the whole ship be arranged as it is today.
Everyone didn't know what the captain meant by this move at the time, but everyone obeyed obediently.
We have talked about this in private.
They speculate that this arrangement may be intended to confuse the unaware "it"
Because before "it" was alive, an oriental couplet and the word "Fu" were pasted on the door of his room.
The room is also full of messy oriental items.
In this way, the unconscious "it" may be confused and influenced to a certain extent.
Also, some people speculate that this move may be to play an emotional card, hoping that "it" can be lenient.
But after all, it's just speculation, and no one dared to ask what the captain's intention was.
Soon, the entire ship was rearranged.
With the implementation of the code, the probability of accidents on the entire ship has been greatly reduced, approaching zero.
However, the good times didn't last long, and something happened to the tourists again.
We found that the "curse" is actually contagious among tourists.
As long as there is a tourist who has a bad hand, more than half of the people who have been in contact with him for a long time will be infected.
The situation took a turn for the worse again.
Fortunately, this time it was the captain who stood up again.
He once again came up with a way to turn the tide.
In the end, some people were saved!
That's the end of the story, this is what happened before I became a staff member.
Later, I also became the crew of this ship.
At first I was just like you, I didn't know anything, I just felt depressed.
But fortunately, I am a cautious and follow orders.
I am still strictly following the rules.
Until I found out that there was something wrong with the employee code.
Our staff seem to be scapegoats for tourists!
During the day we drive away seabirds, and at night we use copper bells to trick them.
Even incense "it".
All signs indicate that the captain wants to sacrifice us, let us attract all the weird incarnations to protect tourists!
At this moment, my mentality collapsed.
I wanted to escape, I tried to hijack the lifeboat secretly.
But there, I met an old crew member with blue eyes.
He saw through my concerns, and finally relented, and told me the previous story.
Then, he told me again.
While it is true that we are blocking guns for tourists, as long as the rules are strictly followed, I will be fine.
I don't believe it.
After all, the weird paper man at night is too scary.
I can't play with my life.
Under the entanglement, the blue-eyed old crew made an exception and told me some so-called "rules".
[One drink and one peck, is it pre-determined, it is cause and effect. (Chinese used in this sentence
I owe nothing to "it", but "it" eats my offerings, eats my incense, and "it" owes me a fruit.
Therefore, although the incarnation of "it" came to see me on its behalf at night, it would not hurt me.
Hearing this, I half understood, and then asked another question.
So why not let tourists do the same?
Tourists are not always obedient, he said.
They are often unruly.
Moreover, at the same time, that weirdness cannot enjoy too many offerings.
In order to prevent oolong incidents.
The weirdness had to be limited to this group of housekeeping staff.
Then I asked again.
The tourist has nothing to do with "it", why "it" hurts people.
The old crew member's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and his blue eyes were full of panic.
In the end, he said in a trembling voice: "It" will return a "fruit" to the tourists."
After saying this, he refused to say anything more.
No matter how I asked, he just told me to strictly enforce the rules and obey the captain's instructions.
When I saw this, I knew he wouldn't say anything more.
However, this information barely dispelled my concerns.
And most importantly, I couldn't get out of the lifeboat at all.
In desperation, I thanked him and returned to work.
In the next few days, it was exactly as he said.
Although there is a surprise, there is no danger.
"It" didn't hurt me.
So here, I need to remind you.
Follow the rules! Follow the captain's orders!
you will be fine!
Now, it is the fourth day of our voyage, halfway through the journey.
If I survive, I will hide these letters on the ship.
By the way, forgot to remind you.
If you are not as lucky as me, the tourists you manage have a large-scale infection.
You need to save yourself.
Because, contact with tourists for a long time, "curse" is contagious.
Please don't expect the captain to stand up again, he will certainly not make that kind of decision again.
So, you can catch a show at the 15th floor theater on a Tuesday morning.
You will understand!]
After reading the entire letter, Su Chen's eyes flashed strange emotions from time to time.
How should I put it, this letter explained most of my previous doubts and suspicions about the captain and the rules.
According to the content of the letter, it can be completely matched with what happened last night.
Taken together, that rule might really be right.
And objectively speaking, the authenticity of this letter is not low.
Throughout the text, the logic has no obvious loopholes.
Let the staff take risks and summon all the weird incarnations to ensure the safety of tourists.
At the same time, the so-called rule of causality is used to ensure that the staff will not be harmed.
This point can also be proved from the fact that the paper figurine was covered in ashes last night.
However, this still cannot completely dispel all doubts for Su Chen.
Because there are still some dots in it, which makes him very awkward.
For example, the inexplicable strange collocation between East and West.
A blue-eyed crew member narrated the so-called theory of cause and effect.
There is also the so-called curse that is contagious, and I didn't feel it when I treated tourists before.
Could it be that the contact time is not enough? Or that the patient is not yet sick to a certain extent, so he is not contagious?
Apart from these, there is one more thing that makes Su Chen uncomfortable.
That's the last guy, let yourself go to a show.
Su Chen looked at the date on the phone, today is Tuesday.
The so-called performance is tomorrow morning.
Why didn't this person tell the method directly and let himself go to the show to guess?
Is it because this method is taboo? It cannot be written on paper?
However, no matter what the truth is, put aside your current identity and look at it objectively.
Watching the performance can show that this person has good or evil purpose.
Because if you substitute your identity as a staff member, after reading the whole letter, you will feel panic about what will happen in the future.
This opportunity to obtain clues must not be missed.
At this moment, Estier looked at Su's frowning brows and asked.
"You think there's a problem?"
"I can't say it, I feel a little awkward, maybe I'm suspicious."
Su Chen said.
"Combined with the rules, the logic is not a problem. You can't ignore the facts because of unfounded things. Maybe you really think too much this time."
After hearing this, Su Chen nodded without responding.
Instead, continue to think about ways to verify.
Seeing this, Estier continued to say: "I suddenly remembered one thing, that is the couplet and the horizontal comment on my gate.
The first couplet: A wise man has a lot of worries, but he will definitely lose something;
The second couplet: A fool who thinks a thousand times will surely gain something.
Horizontal batch: pretending to be wise and foolish
"I searched for the meaning of it before, do you think it is possible, this is hinting at you."
"Because when we discussed things before," it was always in my room.
Su Chen's heart skipped a beat and he thought about it.
It seems that there is some truth to it.
After thinking so much, I finally deduced the answer that there is a problem with the rules, and the captain has a problem.
It's really a bit like what Hengpi said about pretending to be wise and foolish. (pretending to be wise, and boasting before the ignorant)
"Perhaps you are right."
Su Chen laughed at himself, picked up the paper and walked towards Xiang with Estier.
