The passionate drumbeats and footsteps almost overlapped. When the elk housekeeper heard the familiar footsteps, she frowned slightly and turned to look at the person who came. "Why are you here? Where's the chair?"

"The chair..." The parrot girl looked at the young lady holding the cane, her lips moved a few times, and she lowered her eyes and whispered, "The chair was destroyed. I suspect someone is targeting us!"

The Elk Housekeeper looked nervous. "Haven't we already discussed this with Miss Black Horse? Let's swap the chairs we sat in last round."

"That was the original plan, but when I went to the location, I found that the chair had been destroyed by the brown bear."

"If you only destroy part of it, it will still be effective."

"That chair is no longer suitable for sitting. The mechanisms are all broken. Furthermore, the chair the young lady was sitting on last round was occupied by the Black Horse, and the mechanism has locked her to the chair. It can't be retracted until the music ends." The parrot girl thought for a moment and continued, "I suspect the Black Horse and the White Horse are in cahoots. They just want to make the young lady a passerby."

The elk housekeeper was like an ant on a hot pan. "What should I do? Hurry up and find another chair!"

"How do I know where they hid the chair? Before, it was the raccoons who contacted me, and now the raccoons..." The parrot girl lowered her head, clenched her hands into fists, and her nails dug into her palms. Perhaps only pain could make her feel a little peace.

"You're not the one behind this, are you?" The elk housekeeper looked at the parrot girl with a scrutinizing gaze, her eyes falling on the parrot girl's lower abdomen.

The parrot girl suddenly looked up, looking at the elk housekeeper in surprise. "Me? Why would I do this? I've already been eliminated. I can't win the final victory anyway. What's the point of me doing this?"

"Destroy the eldest lady's plan." The elk housekeeper looked at the parrot girl.

"I..." The parrot girl opened her mouth, not knowing how to defend herself for a moment.

"Alright!" Mafia Karen, the underworld princess, shouted coldly, "Go back to room 4."

"Yes!" The two answered in unison, looked at each other, and then stood on the left and right sides of the underworld princess Mafia Karen.

The three of them slowly walked towards Room 4.

At this time, the passionate music gradually slowed down, and the music with unclear lyrics echoed in the cruise ship. This round was about to end.

As the last note fell, the announcement sounded again: "Two passers-by will be selected for this round. All participants, please return to Room 4. The voting will begin soon."

With a crisp "click", the metal hoop was retracted into the chair.

Bearded Lily stood up from her chair and walked around another chair again and again.

The baboon with the shaggy hair said uneasily, "Ms. Lily, the broadcast just now said that two more passersby appeared. It won't be..."

"I'll check this out. Stick to your original plan." Bearded Lily looked at the baboon with a serious expression and reiterated, "You're not going to continue like this until this round of eliminations is over. Remember, don't open the door to anyone who knocks."

"Yes! I will complete the task!" The big-backed baboon looked nervous.

Bearded Lily looked at the chips in his hand, his lips curled slightly, as if the final victory was as easy to obtain as the chips in his hand. "I'm leaving, you lock the door."

The baboon stood up straight and responded solemnly.

Bearded Lily walked to the door, reached out to hold the doorknob, and was about to open the door when she seemed to think of something. She turned to look at the big-backed baboon and asked, "If the elimination rounds haven't ended yet, but you hear me knocking on the door, will you open it?"

The big-backed baboon was stunned, his Adam's apple moved up and down restlessly, he opened his mouth, and stammered out two words "Sir", and then he didn't know how to answer.

"Heh~" Bearded Lily chuckled. "You're probably thinking that the game isn't over yet, and I came here suddenly. It must be something urgent. But this situation conflicts with my order to you: no one is allowed to open the door no matter who knocks."

"Lady Lily, I..."

"You can't possibly know what's happening outside the door, just like the couple outside just now. You can't tell if they've left." Bearded Lily turned to look at the door. "Just like I don't know if there's anyone outside the door right now, and whether I'll be discovered if I go out now."

A layer of fine beads of sweat oozed out of the palms of the big-backed baboon. "Lady Lily, I'm worried about your safety. That guy Brown Bear..."

Bearded Lily raised her hand to stop the big-backed baboon from saying anything else. "As long as I can determine who becomes a passerby in this round, I'll be sure to secure the final victory. And you are the key to my victory."

"I..." The baboon took a deep breath, "I will definitely fulfill my mission."

"Remember, don't open the door no matter who knocks, including me." The bearded Lily curled the corners of her lips slightly, and he seemed to see the goddess of victory smiling at him.

"Yes!"

Sweat seeped through his fingers, fell onto the thick carpet, and disappeared into the dense pile.

The big-backed baboon watched the door of the private room being closed again, took a quick step forward, and pressed himself against the door panel, listening to the footsteps gradually fading away outside, his heart beating wildly in his chest.

As soon as the bearded Lily walked out of the private room, he looked around. As he wished, there was no one around. He breathed a sigh of relief and walked quickly towards Room 4. However, at a corner, he met the pale-faced tabby cat girl.

The tabby cat Fukunaga Yuji, who had returned from the outdoor deck, also saw the bearded Lily. A foul smell entered her nostrils, and she quickly covered her mouth and nose with her hands, suppressing the urge to retch.

Bearded Lily frowned slightly, and suddenly a sweet voice sounded: "Are you pregnant?"

The tabby cat girl Fukunaga Yuji waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no..." Before she finished speaking, Fukunaga Yuji retched twice, and then told what happened not long ago.

"You were quite calm when the brown bear killed the black goat. Why are you so nervous now after seeing the internal organs?" Bearded Lily sneered, but also noticed that there might be some residual smell of blood on her body.

"That...that's different..." The tabby cat Fukunaga Yuji wanted to argue, but the tragic death of the black goat seemed to appear in front of her again, and an unspeakable sadness blocked her chest.

Bearded Lily rolled her eyes, pulled out a check from her pocket, filled in a few figures, and handed it to the tabby cat girl. "Do something for me, and it's yours."

The tabby cat Fukunaga Yuji looked at the number on the check, his eyes widened, and he wanted to reach out to take it. As soon as his fingers touched the check, he immediately withdrew them and asked warily, "What do you want me to do?"

"Don't worry, it's a simple matter for you." Bearded Lily grinned.
