Unless I Were Blind, I Would Never Date You

South China Sea!

The world's top luxury cruise ship, Sago, is on its maiden voyage, carrying more than 5,000 passengers from all over the world, including wealthy tycoons and jeweled ladies.

In short, those qualified to board this ship were all extremely wealthy and powerful, and the launching ceremony was even more grand than that of the Titanic.

The mention of the Titanic here is not a curse on the Sago, but rather because the two ships shared a similar fate, with the latter also sinking at sea...

In the cockpit, the crew members were at a loss in front of the control panel. The display screen was filled with static, the main engine had crashed and malfunctioned, and they couldn't think of a solution.

"What happened? What's going on?"

"None of the thermal and laser images were displayed. We tried to turn on the backup power, but found that even the main unit had crashed."

"Then we should contact the outside world for help right away! The passengers on this ship are all important people. If something happens to us, we're all finished!"

"I'm sorry, sir, the communication system has also failed. There has been no signal, and we are unable to contact the outside world."

One bad piece of news after another came in, and the grim situation made everyone in the bridge very worried. Even the experienced captain frowned deeply.

"There's no need to worry. It's probably just because of the storm. It'll be fine in a bit." A crew member forced a smile. He knew the joke was lame. The entire Sago ship was equipped with world-class equipment and couldn't possibly be affected by the weather.

"Gentlemen, I have some issues, but... be prepared, it's not good news," a crew member suddenly interjected.

Could things get any worse? Is this just an iceberg?

"It's not an iceberg, but it's huge, and it's right below us!"

Seeing the huge shadow hurtling toward the Sago at 30 knots on the screen, everyone's heart sank; it seemed as if something was lurking in the deep sea.

"It started to accelerate upwards, 160 meters directly below us, 150 meters... 120 meters... 80 meters... 30 meters..."

BOOM!!!

With a loud crash, the luxury cruise ship tilted violently to one side after being struck by the behemoth, followed by a violent tremor.

The wheelhouse was thrown into chaos, with crew members suffering head injuries and bleeding profusely. The passengers on the cruise ship fared even worse, being thrown about amidst screams, and many fell to their deaths from higher floors.

The real disaster had only just begun. After the ship stopped rocking, people scrambled to escape and find safe corners, and soon discovered that something had been added to the ship!

Food storage room!

Russell adjusted his chef's hat; his name tag indicated he was an employee, but what was with the messy shelves in front of him? He hoped Russell wouldn't admit to being the culprit.

"As usual, I need to figure out where I am first," Russell muttered to himself as he walked through the pile of groceries.

Splat!

The ground felt soft under his feet, as if he had stepped on something alive. Russell rubbed it hard, then rubbed it again, and it was indeed alive. Pushing aside the scattered cardboard boxes, he found a blonde bombshell in a red evening gown lying unconscious on the floor, a bright shoe print on her chest.

Having traversed so many worlds, Russell was confident in his ability to judge people. The blonde beauty was treacherous, and with her ample cleavage, she was definitely a bad woman.

This woman was not to be trifled with. To prevent any unnecessary misunderstandings, Russell quickly squatted down and carefully wiped the shoe print off her chest. Not for any other reason than that the shoe print was exactly the same as the one on his own foot.

"Who's so bored as to frame me like this? Luckily I discovered it in time, otherwise the evil scheme would have succeeded!"

Russell was furious at the enemy's ruthless methods. As he wiped, he noticed something was wrong. The beautiful woman had woken up at some point and was glaring at him with eyes blazing with anger.

"..."

The atmosphere was a little awkward, but since Russell hadn't done anything wrong, he had nothing to fear and met her gaze openly and honestly.

"I'm already awake, didn't you even think of taking your hand away?" the blonde woman asked in a low voice, suppressing her anger.

"I know, but it's still a bit dirty, I haven't cleaned it yet." Looking directly at the blonde beauty's face, Russell suddenly realized that she looked familiar and resembled Jean Grey, the Phoenix Woman, from the movie series X-Men.

Snap!

After the slap, the blonde woman covered her right hand, jumped up, and gasped for breath.

Clearly, she is not Jean Grey!

Russell stood up calmly and leaned against the wall. "Don't misunderstand, I'm a bit of a germaphobe and can't stand dirty things. It just so happens that someone stepped on your chest and there's a gray shoe print."

"Well, thank you so much!" The blonde woman gritted her teeth and glared at Russell. "Who are you, and why are you here?"

Russell didn't reply, but showed his employee ID badge.

"I know you're a crew member on the Sago. I'm asking why you're being held here?" The blonde woman, named Cui Lin, is a jewel thief who broke into the Sago to steal. She was caught and, because there's no prison on the ship, she's being held in the food storage room.

Similarly, she concluded that Russell was imprisoned here for roughly the same reason—he must not be a good person.

If I knew why I was locked up here, would I need to try to extract information from you?

Russell pondered the keyword "Ago" in his mind, unable to recall any movie plot, but knowing that he was in the vast ocean, he felt a little more at ease. With the trident by his side, the ocean was his domain.

After a moment of awkward silence, Cui Lin pulled out her hairpin, pried open the electrical box controlling the safety door, and quickly turned on the switch to open the safety door.

Where are you going?

Russell followed behind Cui Lin, who had Phoenix Woman's face and was definitely one of the story characters. Following her would surely allow him to meet other story characters, and maybe even trigger World Quest.

"Captain's cabin!" Cui Lin replied irritably, with a lecherous man following behind her as she ran away quickly.

The two hurried through the corridor. Cui Lin was in such a hurry that she didn't notice anything amiss, while Russell was surprised to find that the cruise ship was unusually quiet.

"Can you tell me about the Sago?"

"You don't even remember where you work?" Cui Lin sneered, and then briefly described the situation of the Yago in a few sentences.

"That sounds terrible!" Russell's lips twitched upon hearing this. In Cui Lin's description, the Yago was full of wealthy people, and it was its maiden voyage.

Maiden voyage + billionaire!

Collecting both elements can summon shipwrecks, pirates, sea monsters, icebergs, great white sharks, deserted islands, Atlantis, and aliens. No matter which one it is, this luxury cruise ship will sink.

The two quickly arrived at the captain's cabin. Cui Lin was still thinking about the jewelry locked in the safe, while Russell looked around.

The captain's cabin was a mess, with documents and papers scattered all over the floor. Russell picked up one of the documents, and coincidentally, it was Cui Lin's Wanted.

"So your name is Cui Lin! You're wanted for theft, robbery, identity fraud, and attempted murder... You've got quite a resume!"

"Good to know. To tell you the truth, I've already started planning how to get rid of you." Cui Lin was unlocking the door when he glared at Russell, signaling him to be quiet.

"Can you tell me who you murdered?" Russell asked instinctively. Was it Wolverine or Laser Eyes?

"My ex-boyfriend!"

"Then you must love him very much... Wait, are you taking advantage of me?" Russell's eyes widened; he had been flirted with by a female driver.

"Shut up! Unless I'm blind, I wouldn't date you!"

Just as the two were arguing, a series of hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor, indicating a large number of people...
