Embers Ad Infinitum

The captain dressed in white sheets responded to Shang Jianyao's rhetorical question with an aria:

"Wisdom and beauty are both important, both an angel and a goddess.

"She is the rose of the sports field, the crystal of the laboratory!"

"How many operas have you watched?" The honest Shang Jian Yao mentioned it when he asked, even if it contained obvious sarcasm.

The captain ignored him, knelt down on one knee again and looked to the ceiling, as if intending to continue his courtship.

Shang Jian Yao thought for a while, smiled and asked:

"What's the name of your goddess?"

John, who was beside him, frowned, feeling that "Shang" was not doing his job properly.

How can always asking questions about other people's emotions help this situation?

However, John was also very clear that, apart from the goddess in his mind, the captain in the chaotic state would not answer any questions at all. Therefore, he could only be patient and listen quietly, hoping that seemingly useless topics could draw some clues.

Hearing Shang Jian Yao's question, the captain retracted his gaze from the ceiling.

He answered with a beaming face:

"She's called Duffy Tier Osla."

Almost at the same time, Shang Jianyao and John felt that the darkness outside the window became thicker.

The howling winter sea breeze seemed to stop briefly at this moment.

However, this seemed to be just an illusion or psychological factor between the two of them. After they recovered, everything was so normal.

Shang Jian Yao raised his hand and rubbed his chin, and said to John:

"Try it, I can't help it."

"It can be seen." John was a little pleased.

After all, it is not so pleasant for oneself to have no choice but the other party to have a way.

John took a step forward and tentatively asked several questions, but as long as the goddess in his mind was not involved, the captain ignored him, chanting courtship, or reminiscing with tears.

"It seems that the root of the problem cannot be found here..." John sighed.

The compassionate Zen Master Purdue comforted:

"Let's hide in another place and take a look after daybreak. Anyway, you have been keeping normal. In the end, even if something happens, it should not be your turn."

"Hope." John stroked his chest a few times, praying to the faith cultivated in the old age.

On a cold night, the two left the captain's room and found an unmanned room nearby to hide.

Shang Jian Yao withdrew and re-entered, and the last day came as scheduled.

At this time, the cruise ship’s broadcast is telling everyone that the ship will dock today and arrive at the destination of Speyside. Please pack your luggage in advance and disembark in an orderly manner.

John, who hadn't slept all night, rubbed his eyes and said hesitantly:

"Would you like to go out and have a look?"

Look at the situation on the ship and see if there are any signs of danger.

"Okay!" Shang Jian Yao seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

John then boldly opened the door of the room and walked outside, followed by Shang Jian Yao.

After walking along the corridor for a while, they suddenly saw the round captain opening the door.

"Good morning." The forty-something middle-aged man smiled genially and his eyes were very different from the fanaticism he had on his face last night.

John, who was greeted, not only did not relax quietly, but was inexplicably frightened and shuddered.

He still remembers the captain’s chanting courtship and tearful pacing last night. He was deeply impressed by the chaotic and unconscious state, but only the sun rose and the captain was like a okay person. He couldn’t see anything at all. wrong.

How can this not make people think about it?

John always felt that he was facing monsters in human skins, they would imitate humans in the sun, and they would be revealed at night.

"Good morning." Shang Jianyao responded warmly to the captain's greetings.

John thought it over and asked tentatively:

"Captain, do you feel something is wrong these days?"

The captain shook his head doubtfully:

"Everything is normal, and no one has been infected with'innocent disease'."

If Wang stopped asking questions, he hurriedly said goodbye, and returned to his cabin with Shang Jianyao, ready to pick up his luggage, and head to the deck. Once the ship docked, he went straight down, far away from this weird and terrifying place.

On the way, they ran into several humans they had encountered:

The crew member who was originally pushing the dining car and ran wildly, turning his head from time to time, with a polite smile on his face, nodded when they met; the manic and aggressive male passenger was holding an old-world popular novel and sitting there with a polite smile. At the deck of the parasol, you can look around leisurely; originally crying and laughing, the very crazy lady leaned on the side of the ship, gently looking at the blue sea, as if looking forward to the future...

Even the cold that was flooded at night was dissipated by the sun at this time, bringing a bit of temperature.

The strong contrast caused John to fall into fear both physically and mentally.

The more normal it is now, the more he can't help thinking about the chaos at night, and the more he suspects that the scene in front of him is only superficially normal, which is actually more dangerous.

It's like seeing the captain's goddess Duffy Tier, and finally found that there are tentacles lurking in the shadows under her feet and behind her.

"No! We can't just wait to get to the shore!" As soon as he returned to his room, John blurted out.

He felt that he had to do something to truly reach his destination!

"Yes, yes!" Shang Jianyao echoed.

He has experienced this last day many times before, but every time he passively jumped back to the first boarding cruise before landing.

At this time, if you simply follow John to hide and hide, similar to the strategy adopted in the previous few times, the result will hardly be different.

It must be a little different!

John thought for a while with a tense expression:

"Frankly speaking, I have a strange feeling:

"The day may be more dangerous than the night.

"At least under the night, we know who is wrong and who is normal. As long as we don’t use our abilities, we won’t be affected. Now, we don’t know what will happen next and why only a few people will land ashore in the end. ."

"Actually, this history has been blurred, because you as the person involved have always remained silent in this regard, so we don't know whether most people survived or most people died." Shang Jianyao replied truthfully.

The ending he told John before was a guess made by him and Jiang Baimian, not reality.

John glanced at Shang Jian Yao and nodded in relief:

"You are honest, not a liar.

"But I think that since I will always remain silent on this matter in the future, it must have happened in the end. At least I don't think there is anything worth keeping a secret in my current experience."

That's also a lie to you, I haven't really seen you in the future... Honest Shang Jian Yao tried to answer this, but was pushed onto the floor of the soul room by his companions.

Without giving them a chance to respond, John said to himself:

"I have a very absurd idea:

"Since the night gives me more sense of security, I want to find a place to hide before the cruise ship docks in the same environment as the night environment."

Papa, Shang Jian Yao clapped.

"Just pull the curtains up?" He immediately made a suggestion.

"That's still too bright." John thought for a moment. "And, you have noticed the weather during this period. It was barely tolerable during the day, and it was colder at night."

"Then you have to find a place with air-conditioning but no light." Shang Jianyao summed up the key points.

As soon as his voice fell, John already had an answer:

"The cold storage in the kitchen!"

Except for this, the energy-savvy captain turned off the air conditioners in all the rooms.

"Yes! Remember to bring thick clothes." Shang Jian Yao was eager to try.

It didn't take long for the two of them wrapped up like bears, armed with weapons, and sneaked into the kitchen and hid in the cold storage.

"It's really cold, maybe I need a bottle of strong alcohol to divert my attention." John rubbed his black gloved palms and glanced left and right.

After several days of sailing, a lot of food in the cold storage has been consumed, and everything seems empty.

Shang Jian Yao shook the flashlight and shone deep in the cold storage:

"Several people, there is no need to hide."

John also discovered that there are several human consciousnesses in the cold storage.

Soon, four men and three women came out from different places.

The number of them is different from what John felt, because several of them are capable people.

Among them was John's acquaintance, the **** named Sally.

"Why are you here?" John asked first.

Sally shrugged:

"My spiritual intuition tells me that it's safer in a night-like environment, and there is food here."

"Spiritual intuition?" Shang Jianyao was suddenly excited.

"Haha, kidding." Salli was embarrassed, "I was a occult fan in the old days."

There was no chatter on both sides, and they found their own places, waiting for the cruise ship to dock in the dark and cold warehouse.

Shang Jian Yao once again withdrew from ~www.readwn.com~ and wanted to see if he would return to the cruise ship when he re-entered.

This time, he returned to the cold storage in the kitchen and heard Sally said:

"The cruise ship seems to have docked."

John finds a companion:

"Shang, shang, come out!"

"Come on!" Shang Jianyao was full of expectation.

A group of nine people wrapped in thick clothes, opened the door of the cold storage, and returned to the kitchen.

After brushing the floor, the crew in the galley turned their heads at the same time and looked over.

All of them had muddy eyes and bloodshot eyes, and their expressions were so hideous as if they wanted to eat.

"No Heart Disease"!

They all got "no heart disease"!
