[Cruise Ship Carnival] Planning the Great Cleansing
Four gruesome corpses lay on the ground, their bodies soaked in blood, the air thick with a pungent, metallic smell of blood and decay.
But these flavors were masked by the relentless icy fog.
Si Yehan sat on the sofa, his eyes lowered, coldly staring at the four corpses before him. The windows here were fitted with security bars, so it was impossible to dump all four bodies into the sea. Therefore, he could only leave them here unattended.
After lying down comfortably for a while, Si Yehan got up and looked at the passageway behind the seats. He had never been there before, so he could take a look.
In the instant his thoughts raced through his mind, Si Yehan lifted his foot and stepped straight into the passage.
There were no lights on at all, and the surroundings were only dimly lit. The journey was not long, and soon bright lights appeared.
This corridor leads to four rooms, none of which have room numbers; instead, numerous photographs are displayed in front of each door.
The photos contained ancient historical materials, as well as images of living people. Si Yehan glanced at them briefly and noticed that the tops of the four doors each bore a different surname.
Corresponding to the four people in their seats, a few specks of vermilion were sprinkled in the cracks of the doorway. The surroundings were brightly lit, yet deathly silent.
Si Yehan raised his eyes slightly, and a gust of cool breeze happened to flow into the corridor. He pushed open the door with the word "" hanging in front of him. What he saw were only extremely ordinary facilities and a meter rotating device, nothing special at all.
He then went to the other three rooms, which, apart from the vermilion marks at the entrance, had nothing special about them.
However, some firearms and equipment were found, but most of them were not convenient to carry.
Si Yehan kept the easily portable items on his person, while storing the rest of the firearms and equipment in a separate place. After secretly memorizing their locations, he decisively left.
He lightly traced the short blade in his hand with his fingertips, then sheathed it and tucked it into his sleeve.
After Si Yehan left, the bodies of the two etiquette ladies were still lying in pools of blood, but the blood had dried and their bodies were emitting a foul odor.
There was no one to guard it yet. Si Yehan stepped over the corpses and headed straight for the third floor. The corridor was quite long and had many cabins. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people. The dining carts were already parked at the entrance.
Si Yehan picked up some food and ate it simply, his thoughts drifting. Tomorrow afternoon would be the end of this instance, and today he only needed to eat two full meals. Perhaps the large-scale purge could be put on the agenda.
So many natives didn't seem to care much about the deaths on the ship, as if they already knew about it, but this was insignificant and didn't stop them from taking up their blades and killing.
However, one day may not be enough time for me to slaughter everyone all by myself.
After finishing the food he had picked up, Si Yehan simply wiped his hands with a wet wipe.
Suddenly, a stack of documents popped into Si Yehan's mind. He remembered the large number of documents on Yan Jingxing's and others' seats, which might contain the methods used in their great purge.
Just then, some doors were pushed open, people walked out, picked up food from the food carts, and then the sound of room doors closing could be heard.
The cruise ship had a large number of people scattered around, and there were also some people in the cargo hold who couldn't be forgotten and needed to be dealt with, but firearms could handle them efficiently.
Si Yehan stepped onto the fourth floor again, pushed open the door, ignored the four dismembered corpses lying on the ground, and went to the seat to search through a stack of documents.
The useless documents were thrown on the ground by Si Yehan, left to be stained by dried blood. In the end, only one document was found, titled "Backup Methods for the Great Cleansing".
Below, in tiny print, are the authors: Yan Jingxing and Su Qiuyue!
The format was odd, but Si Yehan didn't pay attention to these minor details. He opened the file and began to read its contents:
The ship carried a large number of tourists and insured persons, as well as "cargo" in the cargo hold. The cargo was numerous and scattered, so to ensure the efficiency of the large-scale cleanup, it was necessary to process it in a centralized manner. As a result, the following method was developed: a poison gas device was installed in the entertainment hall to kill a group of people in one place.
Some crew members need to be retained to maintain the ship's course; they should be killed off just before landing, at which point the Tianxia No. 4 will be destroyed.
As for the "goods," they are no longer of any use; they can all be destroyed humanely using firearms.
Since most of these tourists are wealthy and came specifically because they knew the size of the Iblis, the situation must be handled discreetly. We must dispose of the cruise ship at our private dock and stage a scene to make it appear as if we have been murdered.
The document wasn't long; the rest of the paper was filled with drawings: structural diagrams of the cruise ship, conceptual diagrams of the poison gas setup, and numerous graphic images of people struggling in agony, as well as explicit depictions—physically explicit ones.
Si Yehan spent less than two minutes browsing through all the text and pictures. Since the entertainment hall of this cruise ship had a poison gas device, it was much easier to deal with.
The button is behind the stage in the entertainment hall. After pressing it, ice mist and pink mist will fall first. You must evacuate the entertainment hall within two minutes, otherwise you will die in the entertainment hall with those people.
Then all the bodies will need to be transported to the deck and pushed into the sea.
This process will require a significant amount of manpower, Si Yehan must act under the guise of these four powerful figures to ensure that the security personnel obey his orders.
No, and it doesn't require a lot of manpower. As for the corpses, we don't need to dispose of them ourselves; it doesn't matter if we just throw them all into the entertainment hall to turn into minced meat and rot.
I won't step into it again. Anyway, I can plan the shipwreck tomorrow, and then it will all sink into the sea.
The only problem we face right now is how to get everyone into the entertainment room.
Si Yehan tapped his fingers on the table. A soft knock sounded at the door, followed by a numb voice. "Gentlemen, all the bodies discovered this morning have been completely destroyed."
Because of the door, the originally loud sound became much quieter.
As soon as the voice fell, Si Yehan had already come up with a solution. Since these people were in charge of cleaning up the corpses on the ship and knew a lot of secrets, their authority must be considerable.
Furthermore, having handled corpses for so long, they all exhibited numbness and might not be able to see through their act of impersonating the four powerful figures.
If possible, kill him on the spot; if not, the situation is resolved immediately.
Si Yehan walked to the door, opened it, and said calmly, "Notify the relevant personnel to invite all guests to the entertainment hall, and the singers and dancers must also be present."
The woman in protective gear answered respectfully. Since Si Yehan was blocking the view behind the door and the smell hadn't emanated, she didn't suspect anything. "Understood. You are a distinguished guest of the four CEOs; presumably, they asked you to convey their message."
Si Yehan raised his hand and slapped the woman hard across the face. "You talk too much. Just do as I say."
The woman wasn't wearing a face shield, and half her face immediately swelled up. A glimmer of clarity returned to her numb eyes, and she shuddered. She quickly apologized before retreating to relay the message.
