This is probably to serve the "rules".

Kuroba Kaito stole the Arab's things last night and was discovered by the "crew", so he was caught below.

But how did these "crew" find out?

There is no crew on this level, and there is no high technology such as surveillance. How could we possibly know that Kaito Kuroba stole something?

This place is very strange...

Qin Zhibo frowned, thinking about his current strategy.

Although Kuroba Kaito realizes that he is in danger that he cannot handle, he will probably exit the dreamland on his own.

But once he is in a state where he cannot exit the dreamland, it will be troublesome.

He can't return to the real world now, so he needs to check whether Kuroba Kaito has returned.

Because the prerequisite for the synchronization of progress among the dreamers who form a team must be that one party will not be stranded in the dreamland.

Once Kuroba Kaito does not return to reality and enters the dreamland again, Kuroba Kaito may have followed the ship to the shore and returned.

When the time comes, he and Kuroba Kaito will be completely separated.

Such risks are certainly unacceptable.

The only way now is to go to the lower level and confirm the whereabouts of Kuroba Kaito in person.

It is definitely impossible to enter directly through the floor door.

The only item he could use in the dreamland was the [Oath Keeper Sword], but if he broke in openly with the Oath Keeper Sword, it would mean making the entire crew of the ship an enemy.

It is obviously not a rational behavior to be an enemy of the majority of people on the only foothold in this vast sea.

Then there is only the second way left...

…

On the first deck, two passengers wearing fur vests were playing cards.

A dozen yellowed playing cards were stacked on the wooden box, and the remaining playing cards were in the hands of two people.

"Hey, do you want this face card?"

"Well... let me think about it first."

While one of them was staring at the cards in his hand, frowning and thinking, a pair of hands suddenly pressed down on the wooden box in front of him that served as the card table.

Immediately afterwards, the entire wooden box and the cards on it were blown away.

Bang!

The wooden box rolled around in the air and hit the deck hard.

All the cards were blown away, and some were even blown over the fence by the sea breeze and fell into the sea.

Two passengers who were playing cards were stunned when they saw the mess in front of them.

One of the men hurried to the fence to try to remedy the situation, but it was too late. He could only look at the pieces of paper floating on the sea with regret.

"Hello!"

"What are you doing?!"

The two of them looked at the man next to them who was flipping the table angrily.

I saw this man who had been dressed in black all his life and had a black cloak on him, looking at them with a smile.

"Sorry, I just accidentally slipped my foot..."

When the two of them heard this, they immediately became furious.

"What feet! You clearly use your hands!"

"And you weren't careful, it was clearly intentional!"

The two accused the strange man angrily, attracting some onlookers.

It is normal for these two people to be so angry, because this is the only entertainment tool in this sea.

But at this moment, the man in black in front of him showed no regrets at all, but instead showed a mocking smile on his lips.

"Oh, you saw it~"

"Yes, I did it on purpose~"

"I saw that your cards were too bad, so I just turned over the table, hehe~"

Such an open and honest provocation surprised everyone around him.

It was clear that everything was fine for more than ten days while sailing on the sea, but when they were about to arrive on the mainland, they did such a stupid thing.

Doesn't this person know the "rules" here?

Seeing the mean smile of the man in black, one of the card-playing men couldn't bear it any longer, clenched his fists and was about to swing at him.

However, he had just punched halfway when his companion held his shoulder and stopped him.

"Hey, this is on a boat..."

The companion's words reminded the man. The man's pupils trembled, he quickly put down his fist and sneered several times.

"Humph...you don't have to be too proud, because you will be punished soon."

"let's go."

The two men playing cards turned around and left without saying anything more.

As they walked, they had secret smiles on their lips.

Qin Zhibo looked at their leaving figures, and his previous suspicion became more certain in his heart.

Even though he was so provocative, he didn't start a fight, which shows that there are indeed rules and regulations in this place.

Judging from the words of the man playing cards, his unprovoked behavior should be regarded as breaking the rules and he will be "punished" soon.

In this case, let's wait until night...

…

Time passed by and soon it was night again.

As the last ray of light on the sea disappeared, people on the deck returned to the public cabin one after another.

The very unpleasant smell filled the air again, and various chaotic sounds made the entire cabin as noisy as a vegetable market.

Perhaps because the ship will arrive at its destination tomorrow, the passengers tonight are extremely excited.

Even the time to put out the candles was much longer than usual, and we enjoyed eating and drinking to the fullest.

While there were relatively few people around, Qin Zhibo walked around the public cabin and still didn't find Kuroba Kaito.

It seems that we can only proceed according to the original plan and search in the second cabin...

The active time in the evening lasted for more than an hour before the candles gradually went out.

Darkness descended on the entire public cabin again.

Although Qin Zhibo was lying on the hammock, the muscles of his body did not relax at all, and his teeth were gently clenched.

What kind of "punishment" is it?

Who exactly is the "crew" on this ship?

Could it be related to spiritual creatures?

Qin Zhibo was thinking with his head on his arms when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

The soft hammock on the back became cold and hard from unknown time.

He quickly stood up and looked around, only to find that he was in an unfamiliar environment.
