Chapter 208 The Red Nameplate
Ji Ran: "Most of the ship's crew members wear silver nameplates on their left breasts, while a small number of higher-ranking crew members wear gold nameplates. There are also red nameplates. Jiang Yu said that if you encounter someone with a red nameplate, you should run away immediately, not speak, and not have any interaction with them."
“Red? I know.” Jiang Lin thought carefully. They had seen gold name tags before, but they had never seen a waiter wearing a red name tag.
Jiang Lin left the room and headed for the elevator. Ji Xingyi quickly followed, calling out, "Linlin!"
Jiang Lin glanced at him coldly and walked straight into the elevator.
Ji Xingyi glanced cautiously at Jiang Lin. Lin Rui'an was raised by Ji Wanzhi, but he wasn't. He wasn't good at sweet talk, and no one taught him how to coax his wife.
At this time, there were many students taking the elevator, and it gradually became crowded. Ji Xingyi took the opportunity to block Jiang Lin's way. This time, Jiang Lin ignored him but had no choice but to face him.
"I was wrong." Ji Xingyi held Jiang Lin in his arms and apologized softly.
“You did nothing wrong,” Jiang Lin said with a forced smile. “It’s just that you became someone else’s boyfriend for some information. I’m not your girlfriend, why should I be angry?”
Jiang Lin's attitude towards relationships was very simple—absolute loyalty. He knew, of course, that Ji Xingyi wouldn't betray him; she was just trying to gather information. But playing along wouldn't do either.
Jiang Lin just doesn't like to endure.
I just don't like Ji Xingyi using her looks to get information.
Why should he have to tolerate it? Even if it's fake, it's unacceptable!
Upon hearing this, Ji Xing suddenly realized what was going on and hugged Jiang Lin, apologizing again: "I should have just rejected Bai Chuchu. There are many ways to obtain information; I didn't need to use this method."
Jiang Lin is uncomfortable, and so is he. Why bother?
It would be better to just kidnap Bai Chuchu. With a spoiled young lady like her, there's no secret that can't be uncovered with a little interrogation.
Jiang Lin's eyes flickered; this answer was barely satisfactory. The elevator had slowly descended to the third floor, where there were fewer people. Jiang Lin reached out and grabbed Ji Xingyi by the back of the neck, turning them around. Eighteen-year-old Ji Xingyi was slender, and Jiang Lin easily pinned her against the elevator wall. Ignoring the stares of those around them, he kissed her without restraint.
Ji Xingyi finally breathed a sigh of relief and let Jiang Lin kiss her until she felt better.
When the elevator arrived at the first floor, Jiang Lin pulled the person to a quiet corridor and continued kissing them.
"Go back to the room?" Jiang Lin still felt it wasn't enough. A dirty thought popped into his head: instead of looking for clues, he might as well take this opportunity to just take care of the person!
Ji Xingyi received Jiang Lin's signal through his eyes, and an alarm instantly went off in his mind.
He had just appeased Jiang Lin, and if he didn't agree, he would anger his wife again. But if he did agree, wouldn't he be overjoyed?
It's like being caught in a dilemma!
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Ji Xing caught sight of a passing waitress wearing a rare red nameplate on her chest!
Ji Xingyi was startled and immediately gestured with his eyes to the back of Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin narrowed his eyes slightly: What a fucking bad luck!
The two quietly followed. They saw the waitress wearing a red name tag walk towards the elevator. After all the passengers had exited the elevator, the female waitress entered the empty elevator and pressed the close button.
"Let's take the stairs and see where she goes." Jiang Lin didn't choose to follow her inside. He didn't know what kind of danger the waitress with the red nameplate posed, and it would be dangerous to approach her rashly.
Ji Xing nodded and immediately followed. The elevator didn't stop on the second floor, it stopped on the third floor, but no one got out. The elevator didn't stop on the fourth floor, so the two chased to the fifth floor.
The fifth floor is a self-service restaurant, and there are a lot of passengers. Jiang Lin felt something was wrong. He pushed through the crowd and glanced into the elevator, and his brows furrowed instantly.
"The person has disappeared!"
The waitress wearing a red name tag disappeared in the elevator!
"Impossible!" Ji Xingyi was also very surprised. The two of them had been following them the whole time, so it was absolutely impossible for them to suddenly disappear!
Ji Xingyi: "Could she be disguised?"
Neither of them looked into the elevator; the time it took to go from the 1st to the 5th floor was enough for the woman to change her clothes.
Jiang Lin shook his head. If they changed their clothes, they wouldn't be able to escape Jiang Lin's eyes.
Ji Xingyi: "Could it be that she can transform?"
Super soldiers in movies often have this kind of characterization, possessing superpowers such as the ability to change their appearance at will.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Lin went down the stairs to the first floor and pressed the elevator button. After the elevator came down, he went in and came out on the second floor.
"Besides the people involved, the problem lies with this elevator. There are passengers on the 3rd floor, so there's no problem going from the 3rd to the 5th floor. The problem is on the 1st and 2nd floors." Jiang Lin said with certainty, "I just tried it, and the time it took to go from the 1st to the 2nd floor was different on the two occasions. The second time was obviously much faster."
"You mean, it stopped halfway? Or... the basement level!" Ji Xingyi's eyes widened: "It went to the basement level first, but the elevator didn't show anything, so we thought it went to the second floor!"
Jiang Lin nodded: "This elevator has a password."
The elevator buttons don't have a basement level button, but you can get to the basement level by entering a specific password!
Ji Xingyi: "This is a bit of a problem. These NPCs are hard to find." From yesterday until now, they have circled the Noah and only found this one waiter with a red nameplate.
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "We don't need to know the password. Just have them take us there."
Ji Xingyi asked in surprise, "Are you planning to break the rules?"
Yesterday, Song Yan and his two companions dined at the restaurant early, resulting in "food poisoning," and were carried by the waiters to the so-called basement level for treatment. If Jiang Lin follows suit and also suffers "food poisoning," he will naturally be sent to the basement level as well!
"No, it's too dangerous!" Ji Xingyi said in a deep voice, "You're not allowed to go, I'll go."
Jiang Lin's use of super-limited power will be restricted by the system, but Ji Xingyi's use of the power of the Red Water will not be affected. If anyone is going to conduct experiments, it should be him.
Seeing that Ji Xingyi was unwilling to compromise, Jiang Lin reluctantly gave up the idea: "Forget it, let's see how things go first. There's no need to go to the basement now."
The two then went to investigate other areas. There weren't many people on the cruise ship that morning, and nothing new was discovered. After lunch, they prepared to return to their room to rest. Suddenly, Jiang Lin received a call from Wang Liang, who said he had found a new clue in the game area.
When Jiang Lin and Ji Xing arrived, they saw Wang Liang sitting in front of a game console playing an old-fashioned 2D side-scrolling platformer.
Unable to concentrate, Wang Liang gave the two a look and then continued to focus on the game.
Jiang Lin crossed his arms and observed the game screen on the game console.
Because the game's graphics were very low resolution, Jiang Lin could barely make out that Wang Liang was playing an explorer wearing a diving suit, and the monsters he was facing were ugly blue fish.
