Lights die.
Cargo hold turns into a locked room.
She: "Ten minutes, truth game. Lie and you're out."
Shen Yan: "Tonight I planned to sell you to the highest bidder."
Fei Ye: "I tore the painting 'cause it looked like you as a kid."
Qi Si: "That ferry ticket was for me—ten years ago."
Her turn: "044 isn't my cheat code—it's the debt I owe."
Click—total dark.
Door unlocks itself. Flashlights coming.
She grabs Qi Si's fallen pen, kicks the door, runs.
Corridor's a maze, every metal step clanks.
She hits the deck, rain slaps her face.
Side lights flash three words: Queen's Gambit.
She laughs. "Script was already written."
Three guys storm the deck.
She lifts the pen to her throat: "One step closer—I cash out first."
Countdown starts—
Ten, nine, eight…
A bead of blood rolls—like the last bullet.
