In Yang Rui's letter, he clearly listed the names of those who had hurt him over the years.
There were his uncle's friends, a designer, his homeroom teacher, Gossiping Wife, classmates who bullied him, neighbors who tormented him, the psychologist who helped his uncle, his first girlfriend who abandoned him, a partner who betrayed him, the real estate agent who sold him a haunted house, and the editor who dealt a fatal blow to his mental world, as well as a passerby who hit him and tried to extort money...
And many more, countless in number.
Yang Rui had always remembered these people; he hated them. He spent three years planning a grand revenge. He purchased this giant ship under the name of his company. After a year of renovations, he transformed this ship into a vessel of death.
In the letter, Yang Rui mentioned that he initially intended to complete all of this before turning thirty and then take his own life. But fate delayed him by three years. During those three years, he encountered Wu Yin.
Wu Yin became Yang Rui's obsession and also his Achilles' heel. Yang Rui asked countless times, "Do you really love me?" He told me he left me eight chances. As long as I cherished the diary after receiving it, I would discover the letters hidden within its layers. If I cherished it and did not board the Cruise Ship, this revenge would cease. If I had already boarded the Cruise Ship, then I still had eight chances.
The Cruise Ship would dock at eight ports; as long as I read this letter during those eight opportunities, I would have a chance to survive. Yang Rui said he had eight chances and did not want me to miss them.
After reading the entire letter, I felt dizzy. Yang Rui had prepared us for a journey of death. This Cruise Ship had been meticulously transformed by him into a vessel of demise.
Yang Rui expressed much in his letter. He said he would always remember what his uncle said when he violated him: "You little brat, your parents don't want you anymore; why are you pretending to be pure?" He recalled society's slander against him: "That kid deserves it; who told him he didn't have parents to look after him?" He remembered that in court, his biological uncle was sentenced to only two years while those who abused him didn't even apologize.
Yang Rui asked, "Why should it be like this?"
"Just because I was molested as a child, does that mean I deserve to die a thousand deaths?"
"Just because I was molested as a child, does that mean I have no right to love?"
"Why should that be the case?"
...
Yang Rui spent over twenty years listing every person who had harmed him.
His uncle, teachers, therapists, the Gossiping Wife, classmates who bullied him, neighbors who tormented him, the therapist who aided his uncle, his first girlfriend who abandoned him, his partner who betrayed him, the real estate agent who sold him a haunted house, the editor who dealt a fatal blow to his mental world, the passerby who hit him and tried to extort money...
Some of these people are still alive, while others have already died.
Yang Rui cannot find those who have passed away; he can only take revenge on those who are still living.
Yang Rui bought this cruise ship and hired crew members and waitstaff from the dark web.
He gave these people a large sum of money to perform a play on the Cruise Ship.
Then, he set it on fire.
He brought me aboard, wanting me to die with him.
But instead, I fell in love with Xiao Ma.
In his letter, Yang Rui said he left me nine chances.
As long as I cherish these nine chances, I wouldn't have to die.
As long as I read this letter before the Cruise Ship reached international waters, I could survive.
But what if I missed all nine chances?
I don't know if I still have a life to live.
In his letter, Yang Rui mentioned that there was a safe room on this Cruise Ship.
If we could hide in the safe room, there was a chance we could survive.
Yang Rui transformed the safe room into a laboratory.
He set up a mechanism that only the designer could open.
However, the designer had been in an accident a year ago and lost both hands.
So as long as the designer could open the mechanism, we would enter the real safe room and might survive.
Yang Rui gave me a tenth chance.
I read the letter aloud: "The escape safe room is located in the middle of the Cruise Ship; the steps to open the mechanism are..."
The old designer sitting in his wheelchair did not hesitate and followed the instructions in the letter to open the mechanism.
The room we were in shook violently.
A partition slowly opened before our eyes.
The second door appeared before us. However, the four corners of the safe house began to emit toxic gas. The gas spread quickly, and I felt a sharp pain that extended from my nostrils to my throat.
The other four men pushed the two of us in front of the keypad. The only ones who could know Yang Rui's birthday were the two of us. My mind was in chaos, with Xiao Ma's face, Yang Rui's face, and Chen Wei's face flashing before my eyes.
Xiao Ma grabbed my hand and led me toward the beach. Chen Wei pressed down on my shoulder, insisting that I die with him. Yang Rui sat in front of the computer, typing furiously, "Why? Why?" I couldn't concentrate on thinking about Yang Rui's birthday at all.
Suddenly, Xiao Zhang pushed me aside, saying, "Let me try." She gritted her teeth and entered a series of numbers. I glanced over and saw "19870214" appear on the keypad. It was exactly what I had thought. Xiao Zhang also remembered Yang Rui's birthday. But the door didn't open.
The toxic gas continued to pour out. Our six faces turned purple, our lips turned blue, and breathing became increasingly difficult. I tried entering Yang Rui's birthday again, but the door still wouldn't budge. The last glimmer of hope was about to fade away.
I took out the letter and read it again. This time, I finally noticed a line in the corner. Yang Rui had set his birthday according to the lunar calendar.
