Therefore, the safest course of action is to avoid the area where the noise is coming from, try to get inside the cruise ship, and find a safe room to spend the night.

But now things are different; they've entered the cabin.

The corridor was not very spacious, and although Xiao Jia had an angel halo, it couldn't illuminate the entire long corridor.

It was bright around them, but further ahead and behind, above and below them, and into the surrounding holes, there was only darkness that was difficult to see clearly, like an abyss.

In such an environment, if there are monsters, they are always at risk of being ambushed, so it is necessary to take precautions and nip the danger in the bud.

The door to the inner cabin from which the noise originated has been smashed, and there are obvious dents on the door.

Gabriel entered the room silently, like a ghost, and the angel halo on her head quickly illuminated the room.

The size of the interior cabin is incomparable to that of the exterior cabin; the room is rather small, and you can see most of the room at a glance. However, like the exterior cabin, there is a small entryway after entering, and the cabin wall on the left side of the entryway blocks out the rest of the room.

"Be careful in the toilet."

Dongyun stood outside the door and whispered a reminder.

To the right of Gabriel's entrance is a wooden door, behind which should be the bathroom.

"boom!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the bathroom door was slammed shut.

It's inside!

Gabriel placed her hand on the doorknob, turned it, and slowly pushed the wooden door open.

The door had barely opened a crack when a fish head the size of a palm quickly squeezed out.

The next second, a beam of light pierced the fish's head.

Suddenly, the fish that were trying to squeeze out stopped, probably because they had a sudden epiphany and figured it out.

Another walking fish?

Gabriel glanced at the dead fish and frowned.

She remained vigilant and continued pushing the door open. When the door was halfway open, she saw the fish's body behind its head and the densely packed worm legs beneath it.

Disgusting.

Gabriel's brows furrowed even deeper.

Behind the wooden door is the bathroom, and it seems there's only this one walking fish inside.

Seeing that Gabriel had defeated the monster, Shinonome entered the room.

Seeing the walking fish lying flat on the ground, its eyes reflecting a strange light, he frowned and asked in surprise, "A walking fish? Why does it have so many legs? It looks like a centipede?"

"I do not know."

Gabriel shook her head. She went into the bathroom.

I specifically looked into the sink and toilet, but didn't see any more walking fish.

Outside the bathroom.

Seeing the wet marks on the fish and the water stains on the ground, Dongyun guessed, "This fish lives in the toilet, right? Are there any other fish in the toilet?"

"No."

Gabriel shook her head again, and she cautiously looked up at her head.

The ceiling was empty; there was nothing there.

At this moment, Shima Rin and Kagamihara Nadeshiko also came in. Shinonome walked into the bathroom to make way for them, pointed to the dirty footprints on the ground, and said, "It seems that this fish was locked up here. Look at the footprints on the ground."

Why was it imprisoned? Couldn't it have swum in through the sewers from the sea?

[Because this is a cruise ship, not a train, waste from the ship cannot be directly discharged into the sea; it violates international conventions.]

There's no food here. It's been so long; it wouldn't be here unless it was trapped. And even if it wanted to eat poop, it shouldn't be in the toilet; isn't that all over the sewer?

I'm eating, please stop spewing poop, pee, farts, and slurred food, okay?

[You son of a bitch, this is low-level red text, are you doing this on purpose?]

Holy crap, I was actually eating, and I suddenly lost my appetite.

[I can't stand it, I've blocked it]

Dongyun glanced at the comments, but couldn't bear to look at what they were discussing, so he stopped watching.

The black worms inside the walking fish on the ground have already started to burrow out.

Although the walking fish wasn't very big and didn't produce many black worms, even a small mosquito is still meat. Gabriel lightly touched the black worm with her finger and extracted the magic power from its body.

"Do walking fish have very good hearing?"

Shima Rin's gentle voice rang out from the bathroom.

"Why do you say that?"

Shinonome glanced at Shima Rin unexpectedly.

Just after asking him, he suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "Hey? That seems to be it!"

Walking fish might actually have very good hearing.

Because this walking fish was kept in the bathroom, it must have been constantly submerged in toilet water.

But it probably heard them making noise in the hallway, jumped out of the toilet, and that's when the strange sound came out.

The walking fish they encountered on the deck was probably the same; it only walked towards the deck where they were after hearing their voices.

So, did the large black fish that rammed their boat also determine their location by sound rather than by light or by looking at the boat?

Shima Rin expressed her speculation, which was similar to what Meijiro Shinonome had thought.

"Should we speak even more quietly?"

Kagamihara Nadeshiko lowered her voice and asked very quietly.

The others almost missed the faint sound.

“No need.” Dongyun shook his head, maintaining his soft voice, and said, “We can just speak quietly as usual. The people on the cruise ship are probably all dead. They were all taken to the sea by the walking fish. We shouldn’t encounter any monsters if we don’t go to the outer deck.”

After so long, they hadn't encountered any corpses on the cruise ship. Considering the skeletons they had seen at sea during the day, it was possible that the people on the ship had been dragged into the sea by the walking fish.

It cannot be ruled out that there are other monsters, but there are very likely no survivors on this ship.

They hadn't encountered a single room that was completely intact without any signs of trespassing, leading him to suspect that the rooms that followed were the same—none of them were undamaged.

Just as Dongyun was pondering whether to continue looking for a room or change his plans, a loud "bang" interrupted his thoughts.

Before he could even wonder what the sound was, two more "bang bang" sounds followed, accompanied by strange footsteps that he seemed to have heard somewhere before.

The next second, a terrifying word appeared in his mind.

Walking fish!

It's that walking fish that looks like a little tank!

Chapter 138 A Close Call

"Walking fish!"

Dongyun didn't know why, but when he heard the increasingly close collision and running sounds, he was absolutely certain that it was the walking fish he knew so well rushing towards them.

In the darkness, the sounds made by the walking fish are exceptionally clear and loud.

Shinonome heard it, and so did Gabriel, Shima Rin, and Kagamihara Nadeshiko.

Realizing that it was likely the walking fish that had arrived, Shinonome immediately looked at Gabriel.

"Xiao Jia".

They definitely couldn't run in time, and no matter how fast they ran, they couldn't outrun the walking fish. The only option was for Xiao Jia to use her speed-moving technique to take them to a safe place.

"I know."

Gabriel nodded.

In an instant, the environment around the four of them changed.

"what!"

"Xiao Jia".

"No."

"Eh?"

Under the crimson moonlight, Shinonome, Gabriel, Shima Rin, and Kagamihara Nadeshiko appeared on the deck at the bow of the ship.

To their surprise, there were not only the four of them on the deck, but also many walking fish of different appearances and colors, all with strange-looking legs.

They stood or lay on the deck, as if basking in the moonlight.
