Victoria frowned.
"…What kind of attitude is this?"
Morris retreated to the wall and looked at the faces of Ye Yuehuan, Nie De, Julie, and finally Victoria in fear.
Then, without targeting anyone, he asked in a trembling voice,"
"Who's 'Wild Rabbit'…?"
The remaining four people looked at Morris 'face in confusion.
"What does 'hare' mean?"
"The code names of those youngsters. That's what we call them!"
Morris was trembling.
With his back against the wall, he shouted,"
"That must be the case, right? If this wasn't a ghost ship or a curse, then what was it?”
The others looked at each other. Finally, Julie said," Ah!" She called out and covered her mouth with her hand.
He whispered,"
"…Could it be revenge?"
Julie's doubtful voice echoed. Nie De also replied,
"Ah! I see!"
Morris trembled as he said,"
"Stop pretending! Who was that invitation sent to? Including me, all the adults at that time were gathered here, right? Everyone's dead, and I'm the only one left…But, the four young people in the room…Who are they? They weren't participants from ten years ago-why did you have an invitation?”
"Aren't all the Hares dead?”Nie De asked Morris with doubt and confusion.
His shoulders were shaking from his heavy breathing, but he continued,
"Not all the 'hares' died... a few survived and were set free. Fattening them up and ensuring that they can live a good life in the future…Hey! There should be some hares among you who survived!? Now, ten years later…"
Julie's movements became more intense as she fiddled with the pendant, while Nie De gripped the tennis ball tightly.
Ye Yuehuan looked like he was watching a show. He pulled the shy Victoria into his arms and watched the farce. However, if they knew that Ye Yuehuan and Victoria were watching the show, they would definitely want to kill him. As for why there was only Ye Yuehuan and not Victoria, it was probably the power of character.
"In order to take revenge on us, he built this replica ship and invited us over!”
"It's not like that…"
"I would never do such a thing…"
The two young men looked at each other with troubled expressions.
"Then why do you have an invitation?”
Ye Yuehuan explained nervously how he and Victoria got their invitations.
(Damn it, why are you still pretending to be a grandson? Do I need to be taught a lesson?)）Night Moon was very dissatisfied that he had to carefully explain to an idiot. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't have enough power to dominate this country, he would have to be careful to ensure Victoria's safety...
It also meant that the two of them were classmates from the same school. He had planned to take the yacht out to sea during the weekend, but he suddenly canceled his trip before boarding the boat. Just as he was feeling bored, he found the invitation letter on the yacht…
When Morris heard that the previous owner of the yacht was the murdered Clairvoyant Rozanne, his face instantly turned pale.
"Lady Rozanne…was killed!”
"Do you know each other?"
Morris did not answer Ye Yuehuan's question.
Then, Nie De began to explain his background.
"I was originally an orphan with no family or friends. I lived in an orphanage until I was eighteen. After that, he worked and accumulated experience as an actor. He was lucky enough to have the opportunity to step onto the stage. I can be considered to have some fame now. This week…"
He suddenly stopped, as if he was weighing whether he should say it or not. His speed became very slow.
"I was in the waiting room of the stage play when I received the bouquet and invitation. Well…because there are always passionate fans who invite me…and since the stage play is coming to an end, I wanted to take a breather, so I came here.”
After saying that, he lowered his head.
Julie then began to explain,"
"As I said just now, my father owns a coal mine. I have always grown up in a free environment, living a free and willful life in a spacious house…"
Julie's speed was the opposite of Nie De's. She seemed to be in a hurry to finish speaking, and she kept talking.
"Not long ago, that invitation letter appeared in my car for some reason even though it was clearly locked. Even though it felt a little weird…but it's almost my birthday, so I thought it must be a prank from my friend. He even snickered on the way here…looks like I was wrong…"
The explanation ended.
Morris lowered his head in deep thought and frowned with a serious expression.
Then he raised his head and pointed at Nie De and Julie.
"It's one of you two, isn't it?”
"How, how could it be…that's not it!”
Morris glanced at Victoria, as if he had remembered something and was a little scared."
"This young lady is obviously a noble lady. Therefore, it was impossible for her to do such a thing, and neither was her friend. Moreover, he was too young. Ten years ago, they were only five years old. There weren't any 'wild rabbits' that were so young. They should be children in their early teens.”
"How can you be so sure? As for her identity, it was just what she said! Perhaps it was a little brat of unknown origin!”
"Stop talking nonsense. You can tell at a glance whether you're a noble or not. Your temperament is different from that of a commoner. A daughter of a nouveau riche like you might not know, but I have the title of Viscount and have long been in contact with the upper class. I can guarantee that this child is a real noble.”
"You…you actually said that I'm a nouveau riche…"
Nie De shouted at Julie, who was about to pounce on him,"Stop fooling around!"
Morris looked at them with contempt."
"Those 'rabbits' are orphans-I can tell at a glance who's of low birth. An actress and the daughter of a nouveau riche? Which one of you is the young man who didn't die back then…Hmph!”
Morris looked up at the ceiling and laughed.
Julie was making a ruckus like a wild beast, intending to attack Morris. Nie De, who was at the side, hurriedly called Ye Yuehuan over to help. Ye Yuehuan hurriedly held Julie down and placed his hands on Julie's waist and hands. He touched her hand. Her hand was very white and smooth, and there was not a trace of fat around her waist…
Julie didn't notice that Night Moon was stuck on fuel. After letting out a " Woo…" sound like a wild beast, she said,"
"Morris, you're the suspicious one!"
"What do you mean?"
She glared at Morris with a dangerous gaze, as if she was an injured beast that had been forced into a corner. Morris was forced to the wall and looked back at Julie timidly.
"Those 'wild rabbits' might have parents, or someone who takes care of them in their place, or someone who loves them. Am I right?"
“……”
"Morris, you were about thirty-five years old ten years ago-about ten if you had a child in your twenties. According to you, it's the same age as the Wild Rabbit.”
"My daughter is studying in an elite school.”
"You are a noble and a diplomat. As long as they stayed on this ship, there was no way to prove it. Maybe you're the crazy father who built this ship to avenge his dead child. That's right! You must be the father who went crazy because of his child's death!”
"What nonsense…"
Morris laughed.
He then glared at Julie.
"Don't insult me!"
Seeing his expression, Night Moon believed that Morris was a noble. After coming to this country, he had already seen the noble pride and serious attitude that he was annoyed with. He could also find it in Morris. He shouldn't be lying…
(Thinking about those nobles, they actually gave me random nicknames.）
"Oh, right. This detective lady said that there was one more person. Because I was nearby at that time, I happened to hear it. At first, there were only eleven people in the dining room, but when they woke up in the lounge, there was one more person, making it twelve people. The person who wasn't in the dining room at first was the criminal. He sneaked into our midst and watched us die in fear, secretly laughing at us.”
"What…!"
"That actor is indeed in the restaurant. Although it was too dark to confirm his appearance, I did hear the boring topic of actors at that time.”
Nie De's cheeks suddenly turned red as if he had been embarrassed.
Julie bit her lips and glared at Morris.
"…However, the daughter of a nouveau riche. You're not inside, are you?"
"I'm here!" He defended himself loudly as if he was about to be caught.
"There's no evidence." Morris revealed a mocking expression as he spoke indifferently.
"In that case, you are the same. No one saw your face! The criminal is either me or you!"
"What?!"
The two of them glared at each other.
Julie said in a trembling voice,"
"Morris, why didn't you get on that lifeboat?”
"That, that's because…"
"Your companions are all scrambling to get into the lifeboat in order to escape from this ship. Oh right, weren't you the one who said that you wanted to escape in a lifeboat? If that's the case, why did everyone descend to the sea on their boats, but only you didn't board?”
"That's because…didn't you shout that it was dangerous?”He found an excuse without confidence.
"Will you obediently listen to the words of a nouveau riche? This noble uncle?"
Julie said provocatively. This time, it was Morris who clenched his fists and prepared to pounce. Nie De hurriedly stood between the two of them.
Julie, who was staring at Morris, who was breathing loudly, suddenly jumped in fright. Her shoulders began to tremble.
"…Shh!"
Ye Yuehuan put his index finger close to his lips and listened carefully in silence.
Nie De asked softly,"
"What happened?"
"…There's water."
Julie's face was stiff with fear.
"There's water!"
He opened the door and rushed out of the corridor. Stand still and listen carefully.
In the end…
"…Huala, huala, huala!”
They could almost hear the sound of water coming from below…Just as everyone was standing rooted to the ground, not knowing why there was such a sound, Morris suddenly said,"
"It's soaked…!"
He groaned as he fell to his knees. Nie De shook his shoulder.
"Uncle! What's going on?"
Morris did not answer. Nie De grabbed his shoulder and shook him. Morris opened his tightly closed eyes. His expression was convulsed with fear. He said in a low voice,"
"The bottom of the boat…has a small hole. Water will seep in bit by bit…this is the only way…to achieve the effect of timing.”
"Eh…?"
"This was my idea…in the past…"
"What…?" Nie De shouted loudly, as if he had discovered something extraordinary and was surprised.
Morris fell silent for a moment, his shoulders shaking. Then, he raised his head and shouted in a shrill voice,"
"Hurry to the radio room! The ship is going to sink!"
