Chapter 2: The Octopus Monster
Only Grace, dressed in a black coat, had a serious expression on his face, and he looked quietly at the back of the crowd at the sailors who had returned......
Although their appearance was the same as before, but their tone was a little strange, and this mechanical tone was somewhat different from the tone of their speech half an hour ago, but the excited people, including the familiar sailors, did not hear it.
Therefore, Grace secretly released her spirituality, starlight began to glow in her dark blue pupils, and an indifferent eye without any expression appeared on her broad forehead!
And in Grace's "Eyes of the Stars", the sailors are not normal human feet, but squirming slippery dark black tentacles!
The wriggling tentacles have suckers that contract and stretch continuously, like octopuses dancing upright.
And their foreheads also have thin black tentacles!
Apparently in their normal human shells, there are already strange and evil creatures with tentacles and tentacles!
Grace looked at the passenger ship on the other side, shrouded in sea fog, and thought to herself:
"Sure enough, has this ship been polluted by some evil presence?"
The first time he saw the ship, he felt a fishy smell mixed with fish and blood coming from above, and now his suspicions have been fully confirmed.
Grace did not tell the captain and the guests what he saw, after all, no one would believe it, and the most important thing was that the cruise ship could no longer escape the fate of the shipwreck, and only the ship occupied by a strange presence in front of them could save them!
Under the orders of the old captain Hornby, the servants of the rich began to pack up their valuables and took the lifeboats in small boats in batches to the steamer anchored not far away.
The old captain Hornby instructed the staff to carry the only food and drinks left on the ship, after all, there were so many people suddenly that he didn't know if the food and alcohol of the other party would be enough to support them to the docks. And with his many years of sailing experience, he always felt that things were not so simple and smooth.
Grace, who was secretly observing, naturally blended into the first batch of life-saving boats through covert means, and stepped into the steamer that was shrouded in sea fog and had been occupied by an unknown evil being.
Because the two boats were not far away, Grace soon took the lifeboat to the ladder that the other had lowered.
Stepping onto the deck of the ship, you will be greeted by a group of laughing guests, holding wine glasses or drinking wine or talking loudly, but the clothes on their bodies still seem to be the same as they were ten years ago.
Although the ship is not much smaller than the previous cruise, it has a wide range of restaurants and entertainment venues.
Inside the restaurant, people happily eat what is on the table, which is a delicious black pepper steak and delicate pastries.
However, behind the hustle and bustle, in the shadows of the steamer, there is an abnormal and strange atmosphere and a thick dead atmosphere!
And in Grace's "Starry Eyes" gaze, the noisy and enthusiastic people on the ship, although they are all seriously imitating human movements and expressions, are all strange creatures wearing human shells and slippery tentacles under their feet!
In the restaurant, the guests also eat rats and crawling cockroaches that are pumping blood one after another!
However, Grace did not alarm them, although as the "Reader" path of Sequence 4 "Arcane Master", he was already considered a demigod, and he could easily destroy them.
But behind them, it is conceivable that there must be a powerful evil leader, silently watching every move on the ship and around the sea, and Grace does not want to startle the snake.
Stealthily avoiding the tentacled creatures on the ship's deck, Grace crept to the captain's cabin below, but the large captain's cabin was empty, devoid of any furniture or furnishings.
Grace moved the boots on her feet, as the ground had an unusually sticky feel that seemed to have a salty liquid on them.
"Are you looking for me?"
A strange tone without a human tone sounded behind Grace!
Grace's spirituality increased dramatically, and when he turned around in an instant, he saw an old thin and shriveled man in a captain's uniform with cold and numb eyes standing behind him.
His spirituality told him that the man in front of him, who was clearly the captain, was dangerous.
It's dangerous!
Grace snorted, picked up the half-top hat with his left hand and nodded, then put it down again, and said politely:
"Dear Mr. Captain, I am a passenger on the cruise ship opposite you, I just want to thank you, Mr. Captain, for saving our lives, and I am sorry if I offend you. ”
At present, without finding out the true face of the other party, Grace does not want to fight recklessly, although it is very likely that he has been exposed in front of the other party's eyes.
The old thin captain looked at Grace expressionlessly for a few seconds, nodded, and said in a strange tone:
"If there's nothing else to do, I'll give the order to sail after the guests are on board. If you want to get off the boat now, it's still too late. ”
Is it such a direct eviction order?
Grace gradually put away her smile, nodded politely, and turned away.
Did he see my identity as an extraordinary person and ask me to leave without medling?
If I leave now, what will happen to the hundreds of passengers on the ship?
They're sure to be a meal for these tentacle monsters!
Grace smiled bitterly, although she is not a virgin, and she doesn't like those rich people who talk nonsense, but they are all fresh lives, and they are not evil people, how can she leave with peace of mind!
As a demigod in Sequence 4, it was only a few seconds for him to leave this mysterious sea.
Fortunately, in the next few days, it is estimated that considering the presence of Grace, the tentacle monsters of this ship did not move. This made Grace more and more vigilant, and previous experience had taught him that these tentacle monsters would never give up on something so easily!
The guests and sailors who came from the cruise ship were all arranged by Hornby to stay in the Chase Shop, after all, there were not many rooms left.
Some of these wealthy people, who felt that they were noble, were of course reluctant to live with other guests and servants, but most of them did not make trouble under the harsh rebuke of the old captain Hornby.
Their food and drinks were also brought by Hornby from his ship, and before he went on a hunger strike, Hornby ordered his guests and employees to eat the ship's food.
None of this was Grace's concern, and his main focus was on the shriveled captain who had been overrun by an evil being.
It is impossible for these tentacle monsters to let go of these delicious foods, and it is inevitable that he will fight them. He also thought about going to Ireland to rescue the troops first, but the passenger ship would definitely disappear into the vast sea the moment he left.
Standing on the deck, Grace watched as the blue waters outside the ship became darker and darker, the sea fog around him became thicker and thicker, and the thunderclouds and lightning in the sky became denser and denser, as if a storm and rain were about to descend on the sea.
This is not the way to the kingdom of Artis!
How did I just find out about this issue now!
Grace's brain suddenly woke up, his own spirituality shook sharply, and his body suddenly turned around, only to see an old and corrupt face appear behind him.
The old skinny captain who was possessed by the leader of the tentacle monsters.
"Tsk, did you finally wake up? I thought you'd never wake up again in the illusion I created. So that I can quietly and gracefully enjoy your delicious body, which is rich in spirituality. Hee-hee, this ordinary person's body is not good at all. ”
Grace smiled bitterly after hearing this, she had been vigilant about it for the past few days, but she didn't expect it to be on the road, probably because she was secretly asleep when she met it for the first time.
Seeing that it had been completely exposed, Grace was no longer hiding his means, the "starry eye" in his forehead appeared, and everything within a hundred meters appeared in his field of vision without obscuration.
Fortunately, probably in order to better confuse themselves and not startle the snakes, the normal guests on the ship, except for the first few sailors, all survived normally, but now they are all sleeping quietly in a dozen or so Chase bunks.
