Dusk Cruise (10)
Inside the death painting exhibition hall.
The group gasped when they saw the painting that Chi Nan threw into the sea hanging intact on the wall.
What is going on here? Even though Hei Cha was familiar with Chi Nan, he was still shocked at this mont. He looked at Chi Nan with surprise. What type of magic have you done?
Im just seeing if these paintings can be thrown away.
Several veteran sleepwalkers finally understood and instinctively looked at the empty fra in the corner.
There is another possibility.
Ye Chang raised his hand to take off the painting that had just been restored. Then he slamd the painting against the ground. He saw that it wasnt broken and stepped on the painting. The round sound coming rang out through the death painting exhibition hall.
The group stared with amazent. Ye Chang smiled slightly, his expression still gentle and easy. Sorry, my actions might be a bit big. Im also doing an experint.
Everyone,
These two boys from 303 werent normal, right?
Was there no dignity in the stomped upon painting as a horror work?
Ye Chang saw that this painting couldnt be broken or torn. He thought about it before politely asking the woman with a big chest. Can you lend a lighter?
The woman understood, took out the lighter and threw it over. Dont be so polite.
Thank you.
He took the painting out of the fra and tried to set it on fire with the lighter. as the heat wave spread, the painting was quickly ignited. However, it burned for less than three seconds before it seed like the fire never appeared. After a while, it disappeared without a trace and the painting was intact without any traces of being burned.
It seems that in addition to being thrown away, there is no way to destroy the painting. Ye Chang concluded once his experint finished.
Chi Nan nodded. So the missing painting is still on the Dusk Ship. It is just hidden.
Hei Cha got a headache from the two direct and brutal people and raised a hand to his forehead. If the experint failed, what would you do if the painting was really thrown into the sea or burned?
Chi Nan was innocent. I would pay for it.
Ye Chang didnt care. I would pay for it.
The two n spoke in unison. They were taken aback before their eyes t.
Finally, Ye Chang smiled and Chi Nan pursed his lips.
The woman took back her lighter and lit her cigarette. I guess that the two of you cant afford to pay for it. You will just have so favorability deducted.
Hei Cha looked at Chi Nan with a complicated expression and whispered, You can relax a bit. currently, your favorability is in the negatives. Doing this
Chi Nan was serious.
So why did the captain hide this painting? The red-haired youth looked at the painting that was still intact and then the empty fra in the corner.
Ye Chang replied, If I am going to hide sothing, there are three possibilities.
The first reason is that it is so important to that I am reluctant to expose it to others. Secondly, its existence makes sad, ashad or other negative emotions. I dont want others or even myself to see it.
The last reason is it will expose my secrets. Ye Chang pushed up his glasses and rubbed his pocket watch in his pocket.
His body temperature was so low that despite holding the pocket watch, the pocket watch was still cold without the slightest temperature.
What reason do you think the captain has? Ye Chang asked Chi Nan.
Chi Nan thought about it. The Dusk Ship can embody fear. I think it should be the second or third possibility.
He paused before adding, It is also possible that the second and third possibilities are overlapped.
The woman with a big chest suddenly smiled. So the captain is hiding his fear.
If we can find his painting, let the captain rember his fear and then use the Twilight Ships ability to embody fear, perhaps we can break the dream, Chi Nan suggested.
In other words, find the old captains fear and repay it.
The woman looked out the window at the sunset that was only one-third completed. She threw her cigarette on the ground and stepped on it to put it out. Lets go. What are you waiting for?
Inside the banquet hall.
The only ones present were the middle-aged man, the seven corpses and the NPC staff mber standing silently beside the corpses.
The huge banquet hall looked empty and cold. In the silence, there was only the occasional sound of waves hitting the deck and intermittent, strange music similar to a music box. The gentle and peaceful lody caused sleepiness.
The middle-aged man yawned a few tis before suddenly becoming alert. He was a veteran sleepwalker and was well aware that being sleepy in this situation was very dangerous.
He didnt dare sit down in order to refresh himself. He paced back and forth in the hall while his mouth moved in a dirty manner. Wait for to kill you guys after I go out! What pretense is this? This is the fucking Nightmare World! Why care about others? Taking the clues I found out and pretending to be the Virgin Mary! They are a bunch of dead white lotuses!
Suddenly, he walked up to the staff mber and shouted, Hey! You go and open the door for !
He rembered that there was a bunch of keys hanging from this staff mbers waist.
Unexpectedly, the staff mber just bowed his head and said, Im sorry, Sir. The door of the banquet hall is locked from the outside and can only be opened from the outside.
The middle-aged man exploded and cursed. Cant you fucking think of a way for ?! I want you to open the door for imdiately!
The waiter answered in an unhurried and slow voice. Im sorry, I really cant do anything.
Arent you a low level NPC? Dont you even have a basic brain? Stupid! He was the only one left in the banquet hall so he released his anger at the NPC who had no emotion and thinking ability. Cant you contact other staff mbers or the captain to open the door for ?
Sorry, no.
Then can you stop this ghostly music? It is bad to listen to and makes sleepy!
Sir, I dont hear the music you are talking about.
You are making fucking angry! The middle-aged man ran out of patience and raised his hand to violently attack the staff mber.
The other person finally raised his head, the originally inorganic gaze filled with gentle pity. However, I can prepare so afternoon tea for you so that you can calm down and be prepared to deal with the next journey.
The middle-aged mans hand stopped for a mont. He hadnt slept that much for the past two nights. Yesterday, he didnt have ti to eat due to various ergencies. He was sleepy and hungry so he simply said, Then you quickly go and get it for . The tea must be thick and refreshing!
The staff mber nodded respectfully. Yes, please wait a mont.
Soon, the waiter filled the round table of the banquet hall with cold snacks and drinks. Sir, afternoon tea is ready. Please eat.
Then he poured warm black tea into the bone china cup.
The middle-aged man sat down unceremoniously. He first took a sip of the hot tea before sending the snacks to his mouth non-stop. He drank the thick and bitter hot tea with relish.
The waiter stood aside and added tea and water to him in a tily manner.
The taste of the snacks was very good and the tea also tasted expensive. Apart from the dead bodies in the banquet hall and the song in the air, everything was enjoyable. If only it was a real cruise holiday
Strangely, his nerves that had tightened over the past few days gradually relaxed and his irritable emotions were tempered a lot.
The middle-aged man yawned again. This ti, he couldnt be vigilant anymore. He let his mind drift with the ethereal music.
The cruise ship shook on the waves and there was singing shake, shake the regular slow shaking seed like soone was whispering a lullaby in his ears
He unknowingly closed his eyes and the tea cup he was holding fell to his feet, splashing tea all over the place.
It was quiet due to the thick carpet.
The stiff smile on the staff mbers face disappeared. He bowed down and picked up the fallen tea cup, carefully drying the tea stains on the carpet.
After a while, he looked up and spoke softly to the middle-aged man who was sleeping in the nightmare. Good night and good dreams.
His face was hidden in the shadow of the setting sun. For a mont, he looked a bit like Guo Xuan. Then the light and shadows moved and the outline was similar to Ah Xue.
He stood in the middle of the banquet hall. He could be anyone or no one. He was just an insignificant NPC.
Listen. Do you hear a sound?
At the sa ti, the group looking at the painting heard music.
It seems to be coming from here. The red-haired youth pointed in the direction of the deck.
Hei Cha murmured, I think it is from over there He pointed in the opposite direction.
The woman with the big chest frowned. The music should be coming from the sea.
Hei Chas expressed eased hearing this. The music is nice to listen to after so long. Could it be the legend of the singing rmaids?
Then he yawned greatly.
The yawning was contagious. Soon, the red-haired youth yawned as well. He covered his mouth and muttered vaguely, Im suddenly so sleepy
Yes I havent slept well for two nights I would love to lie down on a soft bed and sleep in a dark place. Hei Cha yawned.
No, it isnt right! This is sleeping music!
The woman with a big chest shouted vigilantly. She tried to tighten her nerves but she couldnt help yawning, mist filling her eyes.
I brought soundproof earplugs! Everybody, grab so!
Hei Cha was worried about not being able to sleep and had the habit of keeping soundproof earplugs. It just so happened that the convenience store of Zi City didnt sell them separately. He could only take a large box. At that ti, he thought it was too troubleso. He ever expected that it would co in handy at this ti.
Hei Cha handed the earplugs to Chi Nan but Chi Nan shook his head. I dont need it. I slept well last night and Im not sleepy.
Hei Cha knew that Chi Nan wasnt being polite when he said he slept well. Thus, he intended to pass the earplugs to Ye Chang.
Unexpectedly, Ye Chang waved his hand. I slept well last night. Thank you.
Hei Cha, The two of you are really suitable for sleeping together.
He put in the earplugs and barely cut off the hypnotic music. The surge of drowsiness was finally controlled. As their minds cleared, everyone beca a bit afraid.
After all, one of the most important death triggers was falling asleep.
They had no way to control their fears. In contrast, it was simpler to stay away from sleep. Once they fell into a deep sleep, their fear would spread and beco concrete. This was no different from suicide.
Only existences like Chi Nan, who had an absence of the concept of fear, could fall asleep on the Dusk Ship.
What do you think? Ye Chang asked suddenly.
Chi Nan shook his head. What?
What do you think about this music?
It isnt very good. Chi Nan cocked his head and thought about it. Ive heard music a hundred tis better than this.
Ye Chang raised his eyebrow imperceptibly. Huh? Where?
Chi Nan answered truthfully, The last instance and the Dawn Base.
Dawn Base?
Chi Nan nodded. Yes, the ho of a dream maker.
Oh. Ye Chang replied casually. Are you familiar with him?
Chi Nan squinted. Who?
Ye Changs eyes were hidden behind the lenses. It was hard to see his expression clearly but he seed to be smiling. The person you just said, the dream maker.
Im not familiar with him. Chi Nan paused slightly before saying, Im just a bit concerned.
Ye Changs footsteps paused slightly. Huh?
Its nothing. Chi Nans lips pressed together in a tight line and he didnt intend to continue talking.
