Chapter 102: Lost Song of the Deep (29)


Zhong Liang had just managed to climb up and was lying on the ground, breathing heavily.


He suddenly felt something cold and sharp on his neck, and the smell of blood was in the air.


He felt an immediate sense of danger.


"Calm down, calm down! Impulse is the devil," Zhong Liang said, trying to stay still and not move. He was afraid that the person he was facing might hurt him if he moved.


"It's not a siren," Ye Nianchu said, pulling Qin Mubai. "Let's go back."


Zhong Liang watched as they left, confused. Not a siren? 


They were disappointed not to see one?!


---


There were only about 50 to 60 people left on the cruise ship.


Sirens could be dealt with, but Ghost Ships were a different problem.


People hiding in the inner rooms were starting to lose hope. Even if they hid, they might still be taken away, and it felt like there was nothing they could do but wait for their fate.


Attempts to escape using lifeboats had failed. One lifeboat was capsized by a siren before it could get far, and no one survived.


Seeing this, people gave up on trying to escape, and their hope was completely shattered.


Ye Nianchu went back to her room, changed out of her wet clothes, and drank hot water to warm up. The rain had lessened, and it was getting lighter outside.


She finally got some rest, planning to deal with the boss after she woke up.



---


At noon, someone knocked on the door.


Ye Nianchu, who had been sleeping, opened her eyes and saw Qin Mubai coming out of the room.


The knockers were likely from the control room.


After dealing with two Ghost Ships, they realized that hiding in the control room was useless. Sirens couldn’t open the door, but Ghost Ships could still take people away.


"I'm here to cooperate," one of the visitors said.


"I already said no cooperation. My brother doesn’t like working with others," Ye Nianchu replied, staying behind the door.


Gao Jiang and his group thought Qin Mubai was just a reason for Ye Nianchu to refuse. They believed they might be missing important information.


"We all want to clear the level. Since we have the same goal, why not team up to be more efficient?" a player suggested.


Gao Jiang added, "We can help you fight the sirens, but you’ll need to share your information."


Gao Jiang was trying to be polite because he was worried about the strong players.


"Help? We don’t need it," Ye Nianchu said, closing the door.


The group left.


"What should we do now?" someone asked Gao Jiang.


Ye Nianchu and Qin Mubai were fighting sirens, which meant their information was likely true.


"We’ll try to help tonight," Gao Jiang said, touching his gun. "But stay away from them."


"Since they don’t need our help, let them handle it."


Gao Jiang stopped and turned back, "Can you guarantee you won’t be taken by the Ghost Ship before the equipment is fixed?"


The others fell silent.

Translation Update! 🍙 Translation Update! 🍙 ✨ Quick note: English isn't my first language, so please understand there might be some typos or awkward phrasing - I'm doing my best! ✨ Hey everyone, just a quick update: As of today, April 28, 2025 , I want to give you all a heads-up about a few small issues you might come across in the story, specifically with some of the prop names. It's not exactly a typo issue—it's more about changes I've made over time. For instance, I originally used the term 'data concealment number' but later changed it to 'number concealment data.' Since these are just prop names in the story, it's not a major issue for the plot, but I totally get that some of you might find it a little annoying if you're really particular about details. ...

 “Bang—” The air trembled, and bright light hit Gu Zhan's eyelids, making him squint. “Patient 707 has been admitted.” A cold female voice sounded. Patient 707? Who? Gu Zhan squinted against the blinding light and realized he was lying down under a surgical shadowless lamp. Next to him stood several people in deep green surgical scrubs, their faces obscured by the light. One of them leaned over to look at him; the blue medical mask covered most of his features, leaving only a pair of narrow, dark eyes visible. He said, “707 has woken up. Administer a sedative.” A syringe pierced the back of Gu Zhan's hand, and the cold liquid flowed in, gradually blurring his consciousness... ... “Crash—” “Bang!” The sound of metal clashing echoed sharply. A metal bed was forcefully pushed away, sliding a great distance before crashing against the wall. Gu Zhan's head struck the bed frame heavily, and the intense pain momentarily brought him back to awareness. Then came the sound of a door ...

The broadcast from the main system echoed throughout the instance. In the pitch-black snowy night, accompanied by the eerie howling wind of the ebony forest, Jiang Yan felt utterly disoriented. The "Hunter" in front of him couldn’t hear the main system’s intrusive voice and was still waiting for his "little sheep" to kiss him. However, Jiang Yan simply reached out, gently touched the demon-like ram horns of the "Hunter," and then unhesitatingly pulled the blanket over his head. Hunter: "...So disobedient." Soon after, a kiss landed softly on the top of Jiang Yan's head. A pair of long, broad hands rested on his waist as the "Hunter" drifted into slumber. Meanwhile, the game forum’s players erupted into an explosive celebration: [I’m dying of laughter! What kind of penalty is this?? It’s my first time hearing such a ridiculous deduction reason!] [“Please immediately kiss the BOSS.” What the heck? Hahaha...] [This will go down...

Jiang Yan ignored 663, curling up under the blanket like a quail. The "Hunter" holding him would occasionally rub his head, seemingly captivated by the texture. Jiang Yan obediently played the role of a "pet." Based on his years of watching horror movies and reading scary stories, he knew that being "clever" or "kind-hearted" in such games only led to quicker deaths. "You still have five days," the Hunter said, savoring the softness and compliance of the person in his arms. His pale, pupil-less eyes glinted with pleasure. Although a sheep's head couldn't show human expressions, it was clear he was smiling. Hearing this, the four people huddled in the cage shivered in unison. Only Wang Yu sat blankly by the edge, tears streaming as he gazed at his lover. The "Cops and Robbers" Game The "Hunter" acted as the cop, giving the players (the "robbers") ten days to escape the forest. If they found t...

 In early September, during a Mathematical Analysis class at A University of Science and Technology, the sophomore students were noticeably distracted. The young professor at the podium glanced down and spotted a large group of students engrossed in their phones. Though he wasn’t a high school teacher, he couldn’t help but lament inwardly: “This generation is worse than the last. Even in Math Analysis class, they dare to slack off?” He could already envision the dismal outcomes on the final grades. Clearing his throat somewhat theatrically, he still received no attention. Growing annoyed, the professor resolved to be tough with the grades this year to combat this poor attitude. At the back of the classroom, Ge Zhicheng's heart raced as he continuously refreshed the backend of the academic system's page. What the professor didn’t know was that today was the day for second-year students in the College of Science to be reassigned to dormitories; the assignment list would be post...
