The sun was hanging slightly to the east of my head, and grayish-white smoky clouds were floating lazily in the sky, pushed by the sea breeze.

In the deserted shopping mall on the fourth floor of the Augus cruise ship, the orange pig woman led Mingyue, who was wearing a black robe, through the various shops.

"I want to go there!" Mingyue pointed to the tobacco and liquor store not far from the jewelry store. Her eyes fell on the rows of wine cabinets. Among the wide variety of foreign liquors, Mingyue spotted the bottle of colorless and transparent gin at a glance.

"There..." The orange pig woman looked in the direction where the gray rabbit pointed. There was a hint of hesitation in her expression. Then she smiled and said, "Let's go to the clothing store next door. I know there are some nice dresses there. If you like them, I can buy them for you, but you must tell me what you saw and heard in room 4."

The yellow scalper girl looked at the orange pig girl in shock. She knew the price of those skirts and knew that they could not afford them. She clenched her fists under the black robe. The yellow scalper girl looked at the gray rabbit and thought to herself: Is the information in Room 4 really that important? Didn't they successfully advance before when they didn't know anything? Is it worth using most of the church's resources to exchange for information about the next round of games?

However, while the scalper girl was still weighing the pros and cons, Mingyue spoke up: "I'm not interested in the skirt. If you can take me into that store, I will tell you all the information about Room 4."

When the scalper girl heard Gray Rabbit say that they only needed to enter that store to get the information, her eyes lit up. She loosened her clenched fists, reached out and tugged at the orange pig girl's black robe, hoping that Sister Enoki would agree to Gray Rabbit immediately. At the same time, she looked at Gray Rabbit, fearing that Gray Rabbit would suddenly change his mind and ask for those expensive skirts again.

The orange pig woman pursed her lips and looked towards the tobacco and alcohol store. When she saw the drinks arranged for the Rabbit Banquet, she truly believed that the Gray Rabbit was still underage. After all, there were many believers in the Apocalypse Church whose appearance did not match their age. It was just that they...

"I will wear my hood and will never let them find me." Mingyue rolled her eyes and pouted, "Sister Orange Pig, you told me there was no magic show, and it was you who suggested going to the shop. Now I really want to go there." Mingyue never put down her hand pointing at the Tobacco and Liquor Store.

Scotland, who was watching everything from a nearby bookstore, felt a headache when he saw this. He knew Mingyue's obsession with wine. Like all rebellious girls, the more he tried to stop her, the more she wanted to try. And following Mingyue's line of sight, his eyes passed through the glass door of the wine cabinet and fell on the bottle of gin.

"You are not allowed to regret it! Once you enter that store, you must tell us the information of the next round of eliminations." The scalper girl stared at the gray rabbit, her fingertips running across the palm of her hand, carefully wiping away the fine beads of sweat.

Mingyue smiled and said, "Why should I regret it? But I only know what is in Room 4, not the information about the next round of eliminations."

"You can't lie to us!"

"This is a deal, I will keep my word." Mingyue's eyes stayed on the bottle of gin, and he looked eager to try. Although he knew Scotland was nearby, he should not be able to stop him. Thinking of Scotland's helpless feeling, Mingyue's lips curled up slightly.

The orange pig woman's gaze fell on the gray rabbit's smiling face, and she felt uneasy. She looked around and saw that apart from the burly man wearing a blank mask and the clerk, there were only the followers of their Apocalypse Church.

After all, those gamblers would not dare to come here to cause trouble. Even if there are various high-end consumer goods here, those gamblers would not dare to steal, rob, or even enter this shopping mall.

But why did Gray Rabbit have to enter the tobacco and alcohol store? Was he looking for a chance to escape, or was he trying to pass on information? Or was that store related to the next round of eliminations?

Questions flashed through the Orange Pig Girl's mind one after another. While she was hesitating, the Yellow Scalper Girl had already pulled the Gray Rabbit towards the Tobacco and Liquor Store.

"Wait a minute!" the orange pig woman yelled anxiously. She wanted to stop the two men, but they had already run far away.

"Sister Enoki, come quickly!" The yellow scalper girl turned around and waved to the orange pig girl behind her, looking excited.

Seeing this, the orange pig woman could only chase after it quickly. She would not allow the gray rabbit to escape her control.

At this time, Scotland, which is in the bookstore, is facing a crisis.

A clerk wearing a blank mask walked up to Gray Wolf and asked softly, "Sir, you seem to like this book very much?"

"I really like it." Scotland closed the book without reading a word, smiled and turned to look at the clerk who appeared silently beside him. His intuition told him that this person was not simple.

"I didn't expect that you actually like reading picture books, and you read them so intently." The bookstore clerk did not expose the wolf's true purpose, but instead said to himself, "The first person the little prince met was a snake, but it was the snake that sent the little prince to heaven. The snake knows the secret of life, but it always speaks in riddles because it knows the answers to all the riddles."

Scotland looked at the book in his hand - "The Little Prince", but he used the corner of his eye to pay attention to the movements of the bright moon.

"If you like it, I'll give you this book."

"Thank you!" Scotland glanced at the back cover and was shocked by the price on it. He was ready to put the book back on the shelf and refuse the bookstore clerk's kindness.

However, the bookstore clerk seemed to have noticed Gray Wolf's intention and spoke first: "Don't be quick to reject my kindness."

Scotland's heart beat faster. He couldn't guess what the bookstore clerk's purpose was, but Mingyue had already stepped half a foot into the tobacco and liquor store.

"This book is too expensive, I can pay for it." Scotland was eager to get rid of the bookstore clerk's entanglement, but the bookstore clerk's next sentence made Scotland's heart beat wildly.

"You are Miss Gray Rabbit's companion, but your current actions are more like monitoring rather than protection. Tell me, am I right?"

Scotland looked at the bookstore clerk who suddenly appeared. He felt that this man had an extraordinary temperament, not like an ordinary clerk, and his silent footsteps were definitely strictly trained. Scotland took out an anonymous black card from his pocket and said with a smile: "Can I pay by card here? I don't have that much cash on me, and I always feel it's not good to accept gifts without permission."

"If you don't like it, then stay and have a cup of tea with me." The bookstore clerk pointed to an elegant seat on the side. A pot of tea was placed on the quaint coffee table. Curls of white smoke slowly rose from the spout of the pot, and a faint tea fragrance filled the air.

Scotland was just about to refuse when he heard the sound of footsteps coming from the bookstore, followed by a series of messy footsteps coming from far away. Then he saw the Frog Leader and a group of black-robed followers rushing over and stopping Mingyue who was about to enter the Tobacco and Liquor Store.

"Please." The bookstore clerk made a please gesture again. At the same time, several burly men wearing blank masks walked out from the shadow of the bookshelf.

Scotland looked around warily and asked tentatively, "Can I refuse?"

"what do you think?"
