However, a clear female voice sounded from behind them: "Are you looking for me?"

The three people led by the orange pig woman turned around quickly and saw the gray rabbit and the gray wolf standing among a group of burly men wearing blank masks.

At this time, the gray wolf hung the black robe he had taken off on his arm, and his blue eyes were looking at the orange pig woman.

When——when——

The dull sound of the bronze doorbell broke the dead silence in the hallway. Curly-haired Ximu looked at the elegant-looking birthday boy.

"Game time is almost up. I'll go to room 4 to get ready. See you later." The birthday boy looked at the gray rabbit and his voice was very gentle.

Seeing this, Curly-haired Ximu frowned slightly. What on earth did the Gray Rabbit say to the birthday boy that made the lazy and lonely birthday boy go to the game room to prepare in advance? It seems that this Gray Rabbit should not be underestimated.

The yellow cow girl and Mingyue looked into each other's eyes. Her lips, which were not covered by the yellow cow mask, moved a few times, as if she had a thousand words to say, but she didn't utter a single syllable. She turned her head awkwardly, as if to look at the orange pig girl beside her, but her peripheral vision fell on the gray rabbit.

"Little friend Gray Rabbit, are you waiting for us?"

"If I wasn't waiting for you, I would have gone to the fifth floor to have lunch." Mingyue grumbled in dissatisfaction, and felt a slight pressure on her wrist. She glanced at the warm hand holding her wrist tightly, and her eyes swept over the three black-robed men. She raised the corners of her lips slightly and continued, "You probably haven't eaten yet."

As the words fell, the yellow cattle girl's stomach growled twice at an inopportune time. Because of the mask, no one could see the change in the yellow cattle girl's expression, but only saw a faint red color on the tip of her ear.

The frog leader looked at the orange pig woman and understood what she was thinking at a glance, but he was hesitant. Should he really take the gray rabbit to the fifth floor? That would make the situation worse.

Seeing that the frog leader did not move, the orange pig woman bent down to look at the gray rabbit, and said with a smile: "The food has been arranged upstairs. We came down specially to pick you up." After that, she looked at the gray wolf again, and her eyes fell on the hand that was tightly holding the gray rabbit. Her eyes rolled around again and again, "Mr. Gray Wolf, please have dinner with us. I believe sister Gray Rabbit should be hungry too."

Da da da!!! Da da da!!!

The heels hit the ground, making a clear and loud sound, attracting everyone's attention. Without much speculation, you know it must have been done on purpose.

Mingyue looked in the direction of the sound, and sure enough, the "da da da" footsteps came from Bourbon, and the evil puppeteer following behind Bourbon was holding two food boxes in his hands, which looked quite heavy.

"I'm sorry! I prepared lunch for them, so they won't go to the main restaurant." Bourbon glanced at the three people in black robes. Although he apologized, his expression showed a hint of dissatisfaction. He added, "And I only brought enough for two people. I'm afraid it's not enough for five people. If you haven't eaten yet, you have to go eat early, otherwise the game will start."

Hearing this, the evil puppeteer curled his lips. The food box in his hand was not light. It was filled with food by the Siamese cat. Not to mention two people, it was enough for ten people. But he couldn't say anything about this. He could only roll his eyes silently and follow the Siamese cat resignedly.

At the fork in the road nearby, Lei glanced at Scotland beside Mingyue, took out an energy bar from his arms, quietly tore open the package, and put it into his mouth to chew carefully.

After all, this thing is not suitable for growing minors. If the man in the red fox mask hadn't suddenly found him...

Forget it, at least for now these two can still cooperate, but in the future...

Shuichi Akai swallowed a few energy bars, reached into his trouser pocket, squeezed the cigarette that was stuffed with information, raised his eyes and glanced around. The cruise ship's radio was still playing the song repeatedly.

The frog leader and the orange pig girl exchanged glances quickly, showing no intention of leaving. The yellow cow girl glanced at the food box and swallowed her saliva.

"Everyone, if you don't want to go to the main restaurant, why don't you come in and have a rest? I will provide you with drinks." Curly-haired Ximu made a gesture of invitation, and the considerate clerk opened the door, and the bronze doorbell made a dull sound again.

"Can I drink the bottle I chose?" Mingyue's eyes were bright and she looked very excited.

Scotland glanced at Bourbon and was about to say no, but the curling clerk's voice reached his ears first.

"Sorry, our store does not provide alcohol to minors." Curly-haired Ximu's eyes swept across the Siamese cat and the owl, and finally landed on the gray wolf. "What would you gentlemen like to drink? I'll have someone prepare it now."

Neither Bourbon nor Scotland moved. Although they had never come into contact with this curly-haired clerk, they always felt that this clerk was not simple.

The evil puppeteer carrying the food box did not dare to make any suggestions. Although he wanted to taste the expensive wine, he knew that the timing was not right. However, his eyes kept falling on the gray rabbit.

"Thank you for your kindness, but drinking will only delay things. The game is about to start, so let's just find a place to have a quick meal. We won't bother you anymore." Scotland held Mingyue's hand and prepared to leave, but was stopped by the Frog Leader in a black robe.

"Little friend Gray Wolf, are you ready to leave like this?"

Scotland's eyes narrowed slightly, and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line, guessing that the other party was coming for Mingyue.

However, the Frog Leader sighed, "I saw you trying to stop the kid on the deck, thank you..."

Mingyue glanced at Scotland and saw that the muscles on his face were tense and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. She turned her head to look out the window and saw black birds hovering in the sky, counting the rising waves.

"Please grief……"

"Can I take this opportunity to discuss future cooperation with you?" The Frog Leader interrupted Scotland. "You are so kind that you won't refuse my invitation, right? Besides, Miss Gray Rabbit doesn't have any advantage in the next round of the game."

"Ha!" Bourbon sneered, "Do you already know the rules of the next round of the game, or have you mastered the winning method? It's a bit unrealistic to want to cooperate just because of your kindness. What's more, everyone knows that the next round of eliminations should be musical chairs."

Scotland nodded slightly, "Cooperation requires sincerity. As we all know, only one person can win the game of musical chairs, so it may be difficult to cooperate."

"Ah~" the frog leader sighed, "Gray Rabbit has been with us all along, how did you know the next game was to play chairs? Besides, there should be a lot of games that use chairs. Young man, don't be so decisive."

As soon as these words came out, Scotland, who had been near Mingyue, felt a jolt in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged. He would not tell anyone that Mingyue used her hair as a mark, and Zero would not do the same, so...

Scotland looked at the evil puppeteer carrying the food box, thinking about how to change the subject.

However, the Frog Leader continued, "I guess you also heard it from someone else. After all, she is very tight-lipped. It took us a long time to find out. We never thought that this information had already been spread so widely." After saying that, the Frog Leader looked at the Gray Rabbit.

Bourbon felt vaguely uneasy about this, but because he was in a hurry, he was unable to find the source of the information. A dark light flashed in his purple-gray eyes.

"I feel that in this matter, both Gray Rabbit and the rest of us have fallen into someone's trap and become someone else's pawns." The Frog Cult Leader and Gray Wolf looked at each other, "Shouldn't we pawns unite?"

Suddenly, the cruise ship's broadcasting sounded. This time it was no longer music, but a human voice. "The fourth elimination match will be held in half an hour. Participants with letter name tags please go to Room 4."
