No one noticed Ivan's complaint, as if there was a film covering him and the magic painting. Others only saw him leaning against the wall, bowing his head, and saying nothing.
Noren's people waited quietly at the door, watching Ding Baiqing's group of six come out of a small guest room with strange eyes, and they didn't know what they were doing there just now.
"please."
The third man in black closed the door and saw that there was another person inside, hiding in the darkness, but his head was a huge square grid, which was startling at first glance.
Anyone else? He asked, "Who are you?"
The people inside didn't respond. The man in black turned his head and wanted to ask the few Huaxia people. It turned out that they and their companions had already walked more than ten meters away. They didn't find there was another person in the guest room, nor did they find that he was left behind.
Anxiety surged in the heart of the man in black, and inexplicably aroused curiosity, stepped into the guest room, and asked carefully: "Who are you? Your companions are gone, why haven't you left?"
"Good weight… "
"what?"
"There's a painting on my back. It's very heavy. Can you help me take it down?"
"Can't you put it down yourself?"
"No, the painting is very expensive. I'm afraid he won't be able to pay for it if it breaks. Please help me and come here."
The man in black is uncomfortable, the voice and tone of this man are uncomfortable, the words are weird, why is it 'he' and not 'it'
Thinking like this, the man in black regretted coming in, and when he was about to turn around and leave, the man in the shadow in the corner suddenly grabbed his wrist, frightened him to struggle hard, but found that this man was infinitely powerful, and twisted his wrist with a slight twist. .
The man in black screamed, his face twisted and terrified as he stared at the monster that came out of the darkness. It was like a huge oil painting rooted in the upper body of a human being. The oil painting was covered by a shading cloth and was slowly sliding down.
He had a hunch that something quite terrifying would rush out once the shading cloth hit the ground.
The pupils are dilated, reflecting the red moonlight and red paintings. I don't know how much blood has been sucked to get this bright black and red color. The lifelike Achilles seems to turn his face and face the man in black with a creepy smile. .
A thread of silver light flashed in mid-air, the man in black felt a pain in the neck at first, then was dragged by a huge force and fell to the ground, his bewitched sanity returned, and he saw the cabinet behind him being cut in half.
"Ahhh!!"
The man in black screamed and crawled out of the guest room.
Cen Jin, who saved his life, grabbed Ivan's shoulders and restrained Ivan's movements. Ding Baiqing, who had returned, raised his Tang knife and slashed towards the place where the magic painting and Ivan were connected.
As soon as the sharp blade hit the picture frame, a shrill howl sounded, with a loud 'banging' sound, and the magic painting automatically detached. Ivan fell to the ground softly. firmly nailed to the ground.
Cen Jin mentioned that Ivan put him beside the bed, kicked the magic painting and said, "I read it right, it wanted to run just now? Can it run?"
Ding Yiqing: "It is a dead object itself, and it is inconvenient to move. It should be the ability to transform space."
Cen Jin: "Don't touch it for now. This painting is from the Land of the Dead, and it's worth a lot of research."
Ding Baiqing: "Take it with you?"
Cen Jin: "I put 100,000 pressure on your Tang Dao to trap the magic painting here, and when the matter is settled, I will come back and take it away."
Ding Baiqing: "Okay."
After some discussion, they looked back at Ivan, and Cen Jin asked, "What are your plans?"
Ivan's eyes were distracted: "I want to go home..."
Cen Jin: "Or just stay in the guest room, there will be a fifth time travel in about three hours, and the first thing after returning 20 years is to immediately go to the performance hall, where we will send you to safety. leave."
Ivan nodded hurriedly, and asked pitifully, "Can you change the room? My mind is full of images of magic paintings whining and blowing in my ears."
Cen Jin shrugged: "As you like."
As soon as the words fell, Ivan rushed out the door, and the surviving men in black at the door looked at Huang Mao and Ding Baiqing in horror, wanting to ask what the magic painting was and who you were, but he swallowed the words.
A wise man knows what to do and what to ask. He has been sailing for many years, what strange things have not seen on the sea
When encountering strange events, you should pretend to be deaf and dumb to live a long time.
The man in black got up and guided them with trembling hands: "Please go forward."
Cen Jin closed and locked the door, "Excellent professionalism, brother."
The man in black forced a smile.
The group quickly came to the quiet western restaurant at the stern of the boat. There were very few guests in the restaurant, and the faces were familiar. They were all well-known celebrities and dignitaries in Europe and the United States. Everyone who entered the western restaurant had to show an identity plate.
It's not a **, but an identity plate specially made by the ship, one for each person, made of pure gold, and inlaid with dozens of broken diamonds.
Cen Jin and the others have no identity plates, and can only come in after being invited by the four Norn.
The four of them sat in a semi-open private room on the second floor, watching the small opera that was being performed below. Cen Jin and six people just came in, and Mrs. Liedman immediately stood up and welcomed them with open arms.
"Dear Wu, it's a pleasure to meet you again. Your performance is great."
Wu Yujie stepped back to avoid Mrs. Liedman's embrace, curtseyed + smiled and thanked, Jiang Baipingcuo and Boss Long took a step forward and stood in front of Mrs. Liedman, saying that she was very happy to meet Mrs. Liedman. Extend your hands in return for an intimate hug.
Mrs. Liedman's smiling face quickly disappeared and became informal: "Sit down, everyone."
The six of them sat down unceremoniously. Cen Jin looked at the man and two women who showed their identity plates at the entrance of the restaurant and said, "Since we are invited to participate in the fantasy night, then the corresponding identity plates should also be given."
Too arrogant. Mrs. Liedman and the others quickly put away their friendly faces and looked at Cen Jin coldly.
Cen Jin turned a blind eye, took the ice cream sent by the bunny girl and ate it scoop by scoop.
Noren smiled: "You are personally invited by us, you don't need an identity plate."
Cen Jin shook his head: "The nameplate to prove our identity is reassuring. After all, who knows what identity we will be invited to in the end. It would be boring if we were invited as stage performers, right?"
Noren: "Yes." He clapped his hands, and came in with a box under his hand, which contained four identification plates: "This is the only identification plate left. It's a pity that two of you must be discarded."
Cen Jin: "You said this as if the nameplate was a life-saving straw."
Noren: "The nameplate can take you to see a different world, and it represents a value far beyond that of ordinary ferry tickets."
Cen Jin: "Broken diamonds, gold... are indeed valuable."
Noren: "It's more than that." He stretched out his hand, pressed the box with the nameplate, leaned forward, and stared straight at Cen Jin: "The nameplate can also give you the same priceless treasure."
He tilted his head and swept the faces of Wu Yujie and the others one by one, and his eyes finally fell on Ding Baiqing: "The four who got the nameplate will have a smooth life from now on, and the two who lost the opportunity will be poor all their lives... Then tell me now, who is willing to In front of two people?"
Wu Yujie shrugged, noncommittal, the woman of the patriarch of the dignified Ghost Gu clan would be destitute? joke.
Jiang Baipingcuo shook his head, money is something outside the body, not as interesting as a scroll of Buddhist scriptures.
Boss Long and Li Dao looked at each other, expressionless and not very interested, their family background made them splurge even if they were playboys for three lifetimes.
Ding Baiqing took out an exquisite pocket watch from somewhere and was playing with it boredly. After receiving Noren's gaze, he was silent for a moment before saying he didn't need it. Don't count him.
"You underestimate me." Cen Jin tried to pull over the box: "I can swallow it all by myself."
Among the six people, he is the poorest.
As soon as Noren released his hand, the box was in Cen Jin's hand.
His cheeks twitched imperceptibly, and he glanced at a few people and found that they were really indifferent to this treasure.
Split failed. Mrs. Liedman fanned her folding fan, covering half of her face smiling, looked at Wu Yujie and said half-jokingly, "Can I give you my nameplate?"
Wu Yujie: "Okay."
Seeing Wu Yujie's gesture of reaching out for a nameplate, Mrs. Liedman quickly changed the subject: "Something happened on the cruise ship, and the bar, art gallery and gallery area were blocked. During this period, someone saw you in the restricted area."
Cen Jin: "Who saw it? What? It must have been wrong."
"For the safety of tourists, surveillance cameras are installed in several important places on the cruise ship." Robin is a handsome but sinister young man, took off his leather cover, touched his steel left hand, and said gloomily: "There is no trace of you in the background surveillance, gallery. There are sneaky figures of you in the area and the guest room area, and it happens that some of us have lost valuables... Maybe there is a misunderstanding, or it may be a coincidence, but just in case, please cooperate with the investigation. "
While speaking, Robin stared at Boss Long who had sneaked into his room, Mrs. Leadman looked at Wu Yujie, and Noren looked at Ding Baiqing who stole his safe. The three of them were pressed by sharp eyes, all of them didn't change their expressions. drink tea.
Cen Jin noticed that there was a gaze on the opposite side that changed from if there was nothing to a scorching heat that could not be ignored. Looking up, it was Loki in the form of an old man, wearing a green suit and silver-white hair, a rather delicate old gentleman.
"If we want us to cooperate with the investigation, we must first solve the problems we encountered on the cruise ship." Ding Baiqing put down the sweet black tea that he was not used to drinking and negotiated face-to-face: "From the moment we set foot on the cruise ship, we have been maliciously attacked many times and almost died. It should be explained to us."
"Malicious attack...?" Noren wondered.
"The corridor in the guest room area, the roar of the monster in the box room."
The corners of Noren's mouth drooped, Robin's expression became more gloomy, and Mrs. Liedman stopped shaking her fan.
As soon as Ding Yiqing finished speaking, Cen Jin added: "The abnormality of the steam boiler room."
Mrs. Liedman grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it downstairs: "Quiet!"
The rehearsal to the climax of the opera stopped immediately, and Mrs. Liedman looked at Cen Jin: "Have you been to the boiler room?"
Cen Jin: "I wandered around the door, and there was a very fragrant smell in it. If it wasn't for the crew to stop me, I would have thought it was a kitchen, and I almost went in to ask for something to eat."
Mrs. Liedman relaxed a little: "There is indeed a remodeled kitchen. If you want to eat, I will have someone deliver it now."
Cen Jin: "The structure of this boat is quite interesting. The boiler room is actually a kitchen?"
Mrs. Liedman: "It's a refurbished old ship—"
"Okay." Robin interrupted impatiently, the steel hook slammed into the coffee table and swiped hard, making a harsh sound. "I don't see any signs of being attacked, but I think you're talking clichés."
Cen Jin paid attention to Loki's movements and demeanor the whole time. The other party just glanced at him and lowered his head to drink tea quietly, with a lukewarm attitude and no friendly signal.
Ding Yiqing: "We are victims, severely traumatized, always vigilant and suspicious of others."
Robin raised his voice: "You suspect that we attacked you?!"
Ding Yiqing said calmly: "Somewhat suspicious - everyone knows the legend of ghost ships and caged beast sacrifices, why should they pretend to be confused?"
The four Noren immediately exposed their strong killing intent, and finally Mrs. Liedman's anger broke the rigid atmosphere: "So dear Wu, is this the reason why you don't accept me?"
Wu Yujie: "The main reason is that I have no intention of bending at the moment."
Mrs. Liedman was not embarrassed: "You haven't tried it yet."
Noren: "We're friends now, right?"
Ding Yiqing: "It depends on your attitude. I was attacked in the guest room area, and he was attacked by non-human creatures in the bar. How do we know that these attacks were not from you?"
Noren: "Are you sure you were attacked?"
Ding Baiqing: "You can watch the surveillance."
Noren: "No, I trust you." He observed the six people carefully: "You are not an ordinary rock band. Do you have a channel at home to learn the secret of the ghost ship?"
Ding Yiqing: "The elders did say it."
School teachers and head office instructors are also considered their elders.
Noren's attitude was "as expected" as soon as he heard it. Ghost ships and fantasy nights are not secrets in the upper class. They used to be strictly blocked in the circle of white Europeans. They opened up with the world and gradually accepted Asians. This group of young people is estimated to be The period of rebellion came in.
Only the rebellious period of young people is easy to deal with.
"The Sightseeing Bar... Is it convenient to describe the non-human biomorphic forms that attacked you? Have you been to the gallery area?" Loki said suddenly, his voice old.
Cen Jin described the monster he saw, glanced at Ding Baiqing, and then said the magic painting in the gallery area.
Mrs. Liedman: "Achilles' heel? That's an ancient famous painting in my collection. It's in the collection room. It can't be opened without a password."
Cen Jin: "It's a magic painting that deceives people's hearts and sucks blood, don't you know?"
Mrs. Liedman: "How?"
The blankness and surprise on her face did not seem to be fake, Cen Jin gave up after a moment of research, and instead asked enthusiastically: "I want to send a card to my sweetheart, do you have any recommendations?"
Mrs. Liedman: "My aesthetic is not in line with immature girls, why don't you ask Wu."
Wu Yujie: "Send a big red bow or a big black bow. It's ingenious and innovative, and girls like it."
Cen Jin hesitated: "Is the bow a hairpin?"
Wu Yujie plausibly said, "Otherwise?"
Cen Jin: "I still want to send a skirt, which style is the best?"
Wu Yujie: "Princess dress."
Cen Jin: "What's it like?"
Wu Yujie: "Have you seen Snow White? Just like her."
Cen Jin was thoughtful and looked at Mrs. Liedman: "Do you think it's okay?"
Mrs. Liedman waved her fan hesitantly and said, "Should do." She thought it was absolutely ugly, but the beauty of the little girls (five or six years old) was true.
Boss Long: "It's better to send a pair of crystal shoes with a flying butterfly on the upper. The crystal butterfly is matched with a bow, and it is more lined."
Li Daoyi: "I'll give you a little Red Riding Hood flower basket as a bag. It's creative."
It was quiet at this time, and the four looked at Jiang Bai Pingcuo, the latter sighed and nodded: "Perfect match."
It was quiet again, and the five looked at Ding Baiqing.
Ding Yiqing lowered his head and played with his pocket watch, no one should let him lower his tone and say words of praise that go against his heart.
Cen Jin whispered 'tsk', Turtle, and turned his attention back to the four people on the opposite side. Mrs. Liedman was confused, Robin and Noren had no interest in this topic and sneered, only Loki was full of faces. Wrinkles can not be seen too obvious expression.
No response
At this time, Ding Yiqing poked the back of Cen Jin's hand to attract his attention, and then looked over, Cen Jin finally found the tablebr />
Cen Jin added another powerful medicine: "The color should be harmonious... Is purple good?"
Li Daoyi and the others nodded: "Yes."
Wu Yujie: "I like purple."
Mrs. Liedman's eyes twitched, seriously
Loki was restless and couldn't help but say: "I have an assistant who is a costume designer, let her help you refer to it."
Cen Jin declined: "I'm so embarrassed." Turning around, he said to the others, "She also likes a cooler dress, so can I make a princess dress with a purple leather jacket?"
Are you still a person? Loki took a deep breath: "Don't be embarrassed, she likes to help others and lend you—" Grabbing Cen Jin's wrist tightly: "Don't refuse, she will be sad."
"It's hard to be kind... Okay." Cen Jin had no choice but to agree, as if to solve a major life event, clapped his palms and said, "Back to the original topic, you don't know what non-human creatures in the collection room are?"
Noren: "If we knew, we wouldn't suspect you, but we'll investigate tonight. It's not too early, and there's still half an hour before the opening of the fantasy night. You can wait downstairs. The restaurant has direct access to the performance hall. door."
The meaning of seeing off a guest is obvious, and Cen Jin and others have also achieved their purpose, so they all got up.
When leaving the door, Cen Jin made it clear that Loki would arrange for the female assistant to come over quickly, and he couldn't wait to send gifts to his sweetheart.
When it came to his sweetheart, Ding Baiqing glanced at him uncontrollably.
As soon as the door was closed and the guests were sent off, Mrs. Liedman immediately lowered her face and glared at Robin: "The Art Street and the gallery area are all designated to your name. You didn't clean up those dirty things? You know those dirty things have How dangerous is it?!"
Robin was impatient: "What's wrong with me leaving only one? It was small at the time, and I fed it regularly every day, so it wouldn't happen at all."
"No accident? Thirty-eight mummified corpses in the gallery area said no accident!" Mrs. Liedman was surprisingly angry.
Robin: "It was just an accident."
"Ha! The bar was an accident, and the gallery area was an accident? The magic painting that was given to me was also an accident?" Mrs. Liedman stared at Robin coldly: "You want to kill me and swallow the bone broth from the boiler room."
Robin bluntly denied: "No."
Mrs. Liedman asked Noren, "Don't tell me, you don't know the dirty things he keeps on Art Street! You were there when he sent me the painting, and you also saw that there was something wrong with the painting, but you didn't. remind!"
Noren: "That's your business, I won't be a nosy."
Mrs. Liedman sneered again and again: "You are waiting for the two of us to fight so hard that we can take away my bone broth and his slave farm!"
The Art Street and the gallery area are Robin's territory, where he once raised a large number of 'cage beasts', but the technology is not good. Later, it only provided everyone with 'raw materials' and sold it to Noren, who was the most skilled in raising 'cage beasts'.
The division of labor among several people is quite clear, and now there are signs of collapse due to a magic painting in the gallery area.
"Anyway, this is the last time. After tonight, I will take away the bone broth and buy it from me at a high price if I want to continue raising those dirty things. From now on, there will be no discounts."
Robin jumped up anxiously: "You want to break up? If you say break up, then break up. Do you think it's that easy?"
Mrs. Liedman: "You all dare to make money and kill your life, why don't I dare to break up the group? Besides, the ship spirit is getting more and more fierce, more and more dissatisfied, and more and more critical of caged beasts, attacking repeatedly and twice. Box houses and tourists, there is no guarantee that one day they will not attack us."
Robin didn't dare to speak out. Mrs. Liedman did have the ability to challenge them. He turned his head and angrily cut off the man in black who was closest to him and ripped his throat out.
Bloody and brutal, like a devil.
Noren and others showed disgust. They hated Robin's unartistic bloody violence, which would stain tables, chairs, floors, and their clothes.
Loki stood up tremblingly: "If there is any conflict, we will leave it to the end of the fantasy night to solve it. Now we need to work together to protect those Chinese people and ensure that the sacrifice is carried out safely... The ship spirit is not satisfied, we have to get him some Dessert before dinner."
Robin said gruffly: "Where can I find him dessert? The monster in the box room?"
Loki: "Those little cuties may be the ultimate sacrificed caged beastmasters, don't touch them."
Noren: "There are hundreds of humans on board who don't know the truth. The energy is not enough, and the taste is okay."
Mrs. Liedman understood: "I'll have bone broth delivered."
If so, the conflict was temporarily put aside, and the uncomfortable Loki took a shortcut and quickly disappeared.
They didn't pay attention to the ventilation ducts above their heads the whole time. A black figure stared at them quietly, then disappeared, and made a little noise before leaving. Noren looked up and didn't notice anything before he let go of his guard.
In the hidden passages and walls in the cabin, a figure quickly fled to the dark part of the corridor in the guest room area. The figure made a rustling sound, and then there was a body one meter long and a tail two meters in shape. The rat-like non-human creature let out an angry roar.
The roar echoed in the guest room, but no one could hear it.
Here, in a corner of the restaurant, an intellectual woman stood in front of Cen Jin and introduced herself: "My name is Susan, Mr. Rocky's assistant."
