A few weeks later, Xiao Yan sat in the lounge of the dock with a confused face, waiting to board the ship, and by the way, he called Link to confirm the latest developments.

"What about the sigil? Did you find any clues in Heura? Xiao Yan asked Link on the phone who had been to Hepu several times.

"Don't mention it. There is no trace at all. Link's voice sounded distressed, "I also showed Lin Weiyin that thing, and she was very disgusted and said that she had no interest in this kind of thing. Hey, she looked like she had stepped on the side of the road with disgust, and she ignored me for a few days. ”

“……”

Xiao Yan hung up the phone and leaned back in the chair, "Is this clue broken?" ”

The case of the missing college student has not progressed in the slightest during this time, and Link not only finds nothing in his investigation, but is completely intoxicated with his new relationship.

Lin Weiyin and he maintain a faint friendship, but they keep in touch every day. Link will criticize Xiao Yan for being too cowardly and not confessing in time, and then praise how correct his decision is, claiming that an unforgettable love affair should be like this.

Xiao Yan suspects that Link is not far from schizophrenia if it goes on like this.

"Anyway, it's almost time to start a new dimensional world. I haven't been here for more than a month, and it feels weird. I don't feel at ease! Xiao Yan rubbed his face and said.

"Poofhahahaha!" Wang Xijun, who was beside him, patted Xiao Yan's shoulder hard, "You're so funny!" ”

"Woo!!"

A loud whistle came from not far away, dispelling Xiao Yan's drowsiness completely.

"It's spectacular!" Wang Xijun pulled Xiao Yan up and walked to the covered bridge outside the lounge, and raised his chin towards the giant ship that was docking. The sea breeze blew her long hair and stroked Xiao Yan's face on the side.

Heart of the Ocean Cruise!

The Far East route luxury cruise ship, which departed from the port of Busan, was the last stop of the United Nations University Student Roundtable that Xiao Yan and Wang Xijun participated in: a three-day sea cruise.

Dubbed the "Cruise of the Future," this giant luxury cruise ship features some of the most luxurious facilities in the Far East, state-of-the-art equipment, 16 decks, and a Polaris Observation Deck that can rise up to 300 feet above sea level. At the rear of the huge upper deck, floor-to-ceiling windows with 270-degree ceilings offer views of the turquoise sea during the day and a giant electronic screen at night.

In addition, there are two outdoor swimming pools, an indoor pool, a gymnasium for surfing and rock climbing, 4 bars, 8 restaurants and restaurants, two cinemas and a theater. Hundreds of cabin rooms, sea view rooms, and luxury suites that can accommodate more than 3,000 guests.

Xiao Yan and his luggage had been delivered to the room by the waiters, and they themselves were carried up to the deck by the spiral staircase with other passengers, from where they entered the heart of the cruise ship, the Royal Mile, and from there passed the duty-free shops for jewelry, watches, and clothing on both sides to the welcome hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen." The captain and officers were already waiting for everyone, "Welcome to the wonder of the sea - Heart of the Sea!" ”

"Dinner at 7 p.m. prepared Korean barbecue and delicacies for everyone, as well as a wonderful cabaret performance. After the meal, head to the theatre, where the famous magician Dverlock prepares a magic show at 12 a.m. that is guaranteed to make everyone scream. ”

"Really...... Not bad~" It was the first time for Xiao Yan to go to sea on such a behemoth, and his excitement was beyond words. In the past few days, he has really enjoyed spending time with college students from all over the world, and he has almost forgotten about the case of Link and the disappearance of college students.

When the magic show was about to start, Xiao Yan was already sitting in the theater seat with great anticipation, waiting for the opening excitedly.

"Thank me!" Wang Xijun thumped his head, "De Villelock's Circuit Magic can't get a ticket at all." If he hadn't been on such a cruise, huh! ”

"Speaking of which, why did he take a cruise?" Xiao Yan thought for a moment, "Is it necessary to go out through this kind of slow thing?" ”

"He accepted the invitation of the big man and let us have fun while on vacation!" The girl took a sip of her drink, "This is a round table of university students sponsored by the United Nations, and the parents of the participants have unimaginable energy. ”

"Is it~" Xiao Yan thought about himself, "Not all of them are very powerful." ”

Just as the two were whispering, the lights suddenly dimmed and focused on the center of the stage.

"Guests, I bring you the great magician, Dverlock!"

"Yay! Here we go! Wang Xijun waved his fist, and the lights in the hall went out at the same time, and all the audience looked at the stage expectantly.

……

The entire theater was silent, with only a few faint lights passing through the stage.

"What could it be! What could it be? Wang Xijun's eyes widened eagerly.

There seemed to be a few twisted shadows crawling through the lampposts, extremely fast and silent.

Xiao Yan, who didn't see the shadow clearly, was startled, he felt an indescribable noise and whispering in his ears, as if it was a hallucination of a headache, and it seemed that something was making a dream nearby.

The pillar of light gradually brightened, and the shadows that flew by became clearer, like a giant cow or horse, or like a monster with tentacles or fangs.

Xiao Yan felt his head being hit and staggered back in his chair.

Suddenly, there was a coldness on the back of his hand, Xiao Yan was startled and almost jumped up, and when he looked down, he saw that it was Wang Xijun who held his hand.

The girl's hands were white and cold, and the back of Xiao Yan's hand trembled slightly.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Introducing you guys! A girl with a clown face suddenly appeared in the center of the stage without warning, as if out of thin air, "Great magician - Dverlock!" ”

Xiao Yan felt inexplicable panic and uneasiness, and held Wang Xijun's hand in the palm of his hand with his backhand, observing the surrounding situation through the gradually brightening light.

The illusory black shadow had vanished in the light. But nearly a third of the audience around him was rubbing their foreheads and ears, and there was obvious discomfort on their faces.

"Bang!" As if coming out of the stage floor, De Villelock burst out of a puff of smoke and bowed gracefully to the audience.

He wears a black tuxedo and a black top hat like a veteran gentleman. Just by spreading his palm, a wand suddenly appeared in his hand.

With a flick of his wand, the light on the stage dimmed again, and four or five extremely long black shadows like arms crawled to the center of the stage, assembling an exaggerated and witty instrument in the blink of an eye.

"Now it's Mr. De Villelock's unrivalled creativity that is on display!" Miss Assistant cheered happily.

I saw the magician wave his wand, and a huge yak-like animal appeared next to the instrument, ruminating and staring at the audience with wide eyes.

"Wow!" All the audience was shocked, I don't know how such a big animal suddenly appeared, and I don't know why the magician changed this~ Isn't it generally a cute little thing like a rabbit?

"Ah~I'm sorry~ hey, hey, hey!" The magician smiled darkly and took off his top hat, grabbed the yak and stuffed it into his hat. The behemoth vanished as if it had never appeared.

“BRAVO!” The audience was already cheering.

"Let me try again." De Villelock straightened his collar and waved his wand again, and a pig jumped out of the stage, but in the posture of a human, standing with its hind hooves and its forelegs covering its mouth, looking left and right in surprise.

"Great, great!" The audience couldn't understand how the magician could transform these large animals in a row, and the scene was absolutely beyond common sense.

The assistant lady threw a radish out, and the pig walked towards the radish while humming, picked it up and gave it to Ahhhh

Xiao Yan, who heard the sound of the pig humming, vaguely felt that his brain was a little clearer, and his dizziness was relieved a lot.

"Oops, oops! ~" The magician grabbed the pig's head, which was still humming, and threw it into his hat. This small black top hat is like an endless supply of anything.

"Well, it can't be wrong this time!" De Villelock smiled at the audience with a weird smile, "Let's have some fun, don't scream for the faint kids!" ”

With that, he dropped his wand and reached into his hat and dragged something out.

"Xiao Yan!" Wang Xijun suddenly hugged Xiao Yan's arm nervously, with panic and trembling in his tone, "Something is going to come out of the hat, this breath~ does not belong to this world." ”

Xiao Yan was also shocked, and his perception could also faintly detect the abnormality in the hat.

Something struggled desperately in the top hat, and from time to time a corner protruded from the hat, as if something was kicking around with teeth and claws inside.

"Oh!!" Aware of this, the audience waited with bated breath, their eyes wide to see what would come out this time.

……

"Whoa!" A huge black figure resembling a bison was pulled out of its hat, with sharp teeth and unusually sharp hooves, and its small eyes looked around, and its mouth was wide open and howling.

Its voice was as silent as disappearing into the void, but it seemed to strike directly into the hearts of the audience, echoing in their minds.

Xiao Yan had never seen anything like this, nor had he heard a similar sound. His eyes were black, and he almost fainted in his seat.

In the dark, he seemed to hear the sound of the dice falling to the ground, and his ears were filled with indescribable whispers.

At this moment, he almost burst into a fighting state, and the cells in his body were in early warning.

The audience in the theater was stunned for two seconds, and then everyone screamed, and many of the audience jumped up and fled.

"Hahahahahaha~ Hahahahahahahahahahahaha De Villelock laughed hoarsely and distortedly, amused by the audience.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" De Villelock took out his wand and waved it lightly, and the spectators, who were already crowded and almost stampede, floated one after another, avoiding a tragedy.

"Don't be afraid of the children." There was an indescribable smile in De Villelock's eyes, "It's okay, under my care, you are safe." ”

The phantom monster vanished, the entire theater lit up, and the whispers and strange sounds that filled the ears were gone.

Xiao Yan felt that his body was warm, as if he was soaking in comfortable hot water, and his mood was comfortable and calm.

The rest of the audience floated back to their seats.

“BRAVO！”

"It's so cool!"

The audience, who had calmed down from the fear and confusion, cheered like madness.

"It's so cool!"
