Saying that, Amelia slowly walked over to the pile of Ocular Barnacles she had collected, pulled out a multi-tool knife, and started cutting them open like she knew what she was doing.

She had just used The Fixing Gaze, and she knew exactly how terrifying that power was.

If she ever faced a real life-or-death situation, she could at least use this power to take the Eldritch Entities attacking the ship down with her.

While thinking that, Amelia bit down hard on her lips.

In the past twenty-four hours, she had gone through too many scary things.

Everything in front of her still felt a bit unreal, but the pain in her body and the fear she felt when facing death kept reminding her: she could never go back to the orderly, civilized world she once knew.

Just as she felt anxious and worried about the future, Luna quietly walked up beside her and handed her a bottle of Holy Spring, saying, "Take it. Soak the Barnacle’s eye in it and then drink it. It will give you power while keeping you sane."

Amelia took the Holy Spring and raised an eyebrow. "Did Kevin tell you about this too?"

Luna nodded and went back to gathering Ocular Barnacle eyes.

At the same time, inside the captain’s cabin.

Kevin was scrubbing himself with Holy Spring.

Based on memories from his past life, the first night all Survivors came to this terrifying sea, they all had to face a trial: an Eldritch Entity attack.

Survivors who passed the trial and lived would get lots of rewards.

As for those who failed, they would be buried in this sea.

Their bodies would turn into Eldritch Entities and come for their former companions’ lives.

Thinking of this, Kevin gave a bitter smile.

In his past life, he could have saved more of his companions.

But for Bella, he had just watched helplessly as his friends were brutally killed by the claws and teeth of the Eldritch Entities.

Ever since then, those dead companions had been hunting Kevin.

Because of his guilt, he never managed to kill the Eldritch Entities that were once his friends.

In the end, it was actually Bella, the one he always protected, who killed him.

At this thought, Kevin’s gaze turned cold. "Joseph, Bella, just you two wait. I will find you someday and get my revenge."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Kevin opened the door and found Stephanie standing there, wearing a very seductive look.

Right now, her hair was pinned up at the back of her head, and the sticky sweat on her body caught the dim light, making her look extra tempting.

Kevin frowned. "What do you want?"

Stephanie reached out, traced her hand up his chest, and wrapped her arms around his neck. She spoke in a sweet voice, "Kevin, you’ll get lonely at night without a woman to keep you company, right?"

"Your room is so big. Want me to move in and sleep with you? Let me tell you, I’m way better in bed than your sister."

Kevin instinctively took a step back and didn’t let Stephanie get close.

Besides that, he caught a familiar foul stench on Stephanie.

Obviously, she had just done something with Leo.

Thinking of this, Kevin felt a wave of nausea. "Sorry, I’m a clean freak."

Saying that, he just pushed Stephanie away directly.

Stephanie caught the disgust in Kevin’s eyes and felt a sting of resentment. "Why? I’m prettier than my sister, and my body is better too. How can you talk about me like that?"

Kevin spread his hands and gave an innocent look. "Don’t you know how bad you actually smell?"

With Kevin bluntly calling her stench out, Stephanie completely lost it. "Kevin, don’t push your luck! Girls like me? In New York, the rich kids chasing me could fill a whole soccer field."

"If we weren’t stuck on this damn ship, you wouldn’t even be on my list. And here you are, acting like you can turn me down!"

Before Kevin could say anything, footsteps echoed from down the hall.

Right behind her, Luna’s voice cut in. "Lady, even if you don’t have a mirror on you, you can just look down and see for yourself?"

Stephanie spun around and glared at Luna and Amelia.

Seeing the two girls covered in blood and grime, each holding basins full of creepy eyeballs, Stephanie’s legs gave out. She collapsed to the floor and screamed, "What the hell are those things? Get them away from me! God damn it, what are you doing with that stuff!"

[Sanity -1]

[Sanity -1]

[Sanity -1]

Seeing how cowardly and pathetic Stephanie looked, Luna and Amelia both wore looks of pure disgust.

They had both just stared death in the face. They knew better than anyone that surviving in this world took fearless guts.

Which is why neither Amelia nor Luna could stand seeing her acting so weak and scared. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Amelia stepped forward and gave a calm warning. "Miss Stephanie, Kevin is our captain. He needs his rest tonight, so please don’t bother him."

With that, Amelia turned around, walked back to another cabin, and locked the door behind her.

Luna just sidestepped Stephanie and walked right into the captain’s cabin.

Kevin wrapped an arm around Luna and smiled. "You’re back sooner than I thought."

Luna grinned back. "Thanks to Amelia for helping out. But I’m covered in grime. I’m gonna take a shower first."

Right in front of Stephanie and Kevin, Luna started stripping. She swayed her hips as she walked into the bathroom.

Watching Luna’s retreating figure and hearing the shower water start running, resentment flooded Stephanie’s face. "Why her? Why does she get to shower in your room?"

"Kevin, let me in! I’ll wash up! I’ll make myself smell good, I swear I won’t have a stink on me. I swear I’m clean. Just give me a chance. I’ll make you feel amazing. You even want me and that bitch to share you? Fine by me!"

As she spoke, Stephanie reached out to grab onto Kevin’s leg.

Kevin moved fast. He took a quick half-step back and dodged her hands.

As she stumbled forward, he kicked her right out into the hall.

Bang!

The door slammed shut. Stephanie was locked out.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Stephanie pounded on the door like a maniac. Her eyes were filled with frustration and anger.

She hadn’t broken down even after getting humiliated by Kevin, Amelia, and Luna one after the other.

She was even ready to throw herself at him if it meant getting to stay in his cabin for the night.

But she never expected that Kevin wouldn’t be interested in her at all.

Stephanie howled in frustration. "Kevin! Why? Why are you treating me like this? Weren’t you supposed to take care of me, protect me, do everything for me, and put me first?"

Kevin stood at the door and rolled his eyes at her rambling. "Stephanie, I don’t sleep with used goods. Besides, you think I don’t know what you just did with Leo? You reek."

Stephanie’s face turned red as her affair with Leo was laid bare. She immediately started pounding on the door again. "Kevin, let me explain! It’s not like you think! Leo forced me!"

"That idiot is just a useless, impotent piece of shit. His dick wouldn’t even stay up. He didn’t do a single thing to me. We hadn’t even started and he was already soft. He’s a total loser!"

Just then, Luna stepped out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel.

Hearing her out, Luna let out a snort of laughter. She stopped Kevin from speaking and called out to the hallway.

"Miss Stephanie, you’re really pitiful. But Kevin’s got me for tonight, so don’t bother taking care of him."

"Actually, Leo could use your comfort right about now."

"Oh, and I forgot to mention. When we got back, Mr. Leo was looking all over for you."

Stephanie’s eyes went wide, her pupils shrinking to tiny dots.

She slowly turned her head and saw Leo standing just a few feet away, looking utterly broken. "Stephanie, weren’t you just comforting me? I’m not a loser! I can do it! Come back with me, let’s try again. I’ll make you happy. I’ll give you a real life!"

Before she could react, Leo lunged forward, grabbed her wrist, and tried to pull her back toward the dorms.

But they hadn’t even taken a few steps before a chilling roar echoed down from the deck.

Right after that, a massive crash shook the room.

A huge hole tore open in the ceiling.

The very same Grotesque that Amelia had just blown to smithereens with her Fireball rounds came crashing down from above.

Its charred skin and torn flesh were already knitting itself back together.
