Chapter 104

Since W delivered his speech on Rhodes Island, "What do the Lord God want from you? They want your mother's..."

That damned old woman, Kal'tsit, kept the audio of W's speech.

If anyone encounters this question again in the future, Kal'tsit will play this audio for them to hear.

Those words of yours are truly enlightening, like a refreshing drink.

So every now and then, W would encounter a group of people who acted like devoted fans, rushing up to her, grabbing her hand, and saying things like, "You must be the famous VV!"

So, Exusiai probably got to know her in this way too.

However, W only mentioned it casually, and then she would use the excuse of "hush money" to start a conversation.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Exusiai said mysteriously, "Who did I think it was? Of course I thought it was a monster that had infiltrated our spaceship!"

"Ha?"

W was completely baffled. What was going on?

But the Exusiai continued, with feigned seriousness:

"Haven't you seen the movie 'Lungmen'? You know... the one directed by Nian."

Well, the story is about how the main characters and their companions successfully escaped danger at a critical moment of life and death.

Just as the main characters lowered their guard, the scene shifted.

In a deserted corner of the car, ship, and spaceship where the protagonists were traveling, the monster had already infiltrated.

Then the monster ambushed and killed the lone group one by one, until only the protagonist was left.

After the protagonist and the monster perish together, and the end credits and credits have finished playing, a monster's claw emerges from the ruins.

Next, we'll be setting the stage for the second part!

Well... although often, the second movie is actually a prequel, not a sequel..."

W: "..."

What a terrible movie!

Based on your description, I get the impression that there are a lot of explosions, but what about the plot?

Wait, why am I discussing this terrible movie plot with this red-haired little dwarf?

W looked speechless and clicked his tongue twice. "So what? You little red-haired dwarf, do you think it's like in those lousy movies, where monsters infiltrate our flying ship?"

"Of course! That's a classic scene—"

Exusiai was talking at length when she suddenly realized something was wrong. "Hey! Wait a minute! Who are you calling a red-haired little dwarf! Even though I'm only 159cm tall... I'm still growing—hey! Are you even listening to me?"

But W completely ignored Exusiai.

W, who could give two middle fingers even when he was almost swallowed alive, what monsters would he be afraid of if they sneaked in?

So, with a sneer, W stepped forward and kicked open the door to a room.

The loud thud startled the Scorpion in the room.

Scorpion was originally holding a glass of water in one hand and a compressed biscuit in the other, chewing it dry.

Seeing Exusiai and W suddenly burst in, Scorpion quickly put down the compressed biscuits he was holding.

Then the Scorpion stood up awkwardly. "I'm sorry! I was really hungry... so when I saw there was food here... I just... I just..."

W, who had kicked the door open, peeked inside a few times, then casually waved his hand and turned to Exusiai, saying, "Look, there's no one inside."

The Scorpion in the room. "I'm here?"

"Even if there are people, they'll be scared away by your kick!"

Exusiai also poked her little head in, looking around. "Oh... there's no one here, but there are so many rooms on this starship, who knows where that monster is hiding?"

The Scorpion in the room. "Um, that..."

"Fine, fine, you don't know where you're hiding, huh? I'm bored anyway, I'll go kick down your door with you."

"It's not about kicking down the door! It's about finding a monster!"

The Scorpion in the room. "..."

Forget it...

Seeing that Exusiai and W seemed not to have seen her at all, talking to themselves and then turning around and leaving on their own.

The Scorpion in the room also lowered its little head in disappointment.

But Scorpion also knew that this wasn't because Exusiai and W were malicious or deliberately ignoring her; it was simply due to Scorpion's own abilities.

Invisibility? Concealing one's presence? Or simply having a low profile?

Although there are many explanations for the term, the most important thing is that this is not the Scorpion's active skill, but rather her passive skill.

So whether she stumbled onto this interstellar warship by accident, or was kicked open by Exusiai.

The reason is that no one saw her, noticed her, or paid attention to her.

After wallowing in self-pity for a while, the Scorpion walked to the door.

After glancing at the departing figures of Exusiai and W, Scorpion felt dejected and reached out to close the door.

"So why didn't you close the door after you kicked it open?"

"Huh? Isn't that obvious? Only by opening all the doors can we know which places you've explored. When we come back and find a bunch of open doors, but only one door is closed, then we can... uh... that jar... jar what was it again?"

"Catching a turtle in a jar?"

While Exusiai and W chatted and kicked down doors along the way, having a great time.

But then they heard a soft click from behind them.

This made the two of them stop immediately and turn around to see that the door to one of the rooms was closed.

This made Exusiai and W exchange a glance, recalling their earlier discussion about catching a turtle in a jar.

So the two of them immediately ran over and kicked the door open again.

With a thud, the Scorpion, who had just closed the door and was about to turn back to finish the compressed biscuit, was startled.

The Scorpion instinctively tried to dodge, but W had already rushed into the room.

"Wait! Don't be so reckless! Shouldn't we discuss a strategy first?"

Seeing this, Exusiai quickly reached out and grabbed the other person's sleeve: "Come back first—"

Before she could finish speaking, Exusiai saw W still walking inside.

Huh...?

Wait, wait a minute?

W wasn't caught by me? Then who am I catching now?

Exusiai looked down at the hand that had inexplicably appeared, then looked up at W, who was circling around the room...

"Huh?!"

That scream, like that of a young girl, came from an unknown source and instantly echoed throughout the entire starship.
