It's been many days, and Lin Banwei has never found the old man named Higashinoqi.

Lin Banwei repeatedly questioned the ship's staff, and at first they refused him on the grounds that they "could not disclose passenger information". Later, maybe because Lin Banwei's words were sincere, or maybe he couldn't be bothered, the staff helped him check it. However, they found that there was no one named "Higashino Qi" in the list of passengers, and there was not even a similar pinyin.

Maybe the old man used an English name, or maybe the name "Higashinoki" was fake.

Lin Banwei dreamed of the burning heart every night, and what made him even more shocking in the dream was that the heart finally captured him, and he was also burned to charcoal in the raging fire, and really became "Bruno".

Since then, he has been afraid to go to sleep, and as soon as he closes his eyes, the nightmare will find him. He began to hate his father's damned friend, why he sent the fossils, why he wanted to explore the strange creatures.

Anthropomorphic insects and Higashino Qi, these two don't seem to belong to this world at all, at least, this world is not so crazy.

There were countless guest rooms on the Haizhe Star, and Lin Banwei knocked on the door from room to room, and only when he was exhausted did he have to go back for a while. There were times when he fell asleep from exhaustion between floors, and the staff sent him back to his room.

I don't know why, the Haizhexing had no intention of entering the port when it was about to reach the scheduled port, and still drove on this lonely sea without slowing down.

It's okay that there are no new people, and Lin Banwei doesn't have to go back to the rooms he has already confirmed.

“또 너 야？ (It's you again)"

Lin Banwei raised his head in despair, he was about to knock on the door of this room, but he didn't expect its owner to come out first, it was a young man.

"Excuse me, does Higashino live here?" Lin Banwei's throat was so dry that it was about to smoke, and he didn't recognize this young man as the one he bumped into before.

"Haha, it turns out that you are Chinese," Li Shiyun closed the door behind his back, he seemed to be very reluctant for Lin Banwei to see the situation inside the room, "This is a morgue, how can anyone live here." ”

"Morgue?" Lin Banwei thought he had misheard, until he saw the sign on the wall that vaguely read "STAFF ONLY", and the smell of corruption was faintly coming from inside the room. Only then did he realize that he had indeed come to the wrong place.

In fact, most cruise ships that spend long periods of time at sea will have morgues. According to statistics, the elderly account for a large proportion of cruise ship passengers, and 40% of them are 65 years old or older. Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be old people on board who have reached old age and left the last period of their lives at sea.

Of course, there are also those who deliberately want to stay away from the mainland where they have lived all their lives at the twilight of their lives, buy a 120-day round-the-world route, and plan to die on the journey.

Probably, those people really hope that their souls can enter a heaven as pure as the ocean.

"I'm sorry." After Lin Banwei finished speaking, he walked forward with his head drooped again.

"It's okay."

Li Shiyun watched Lin Banwei leave, until he confirmed that he had gone away, then opened the door and entered a small crack, and then locked the door again.

"Who is it?"

Tong Wanning sat at the only table in the room, wiping the blood stains from the dagger with a towel, the hilt of the dagger was golden, but the blade was a sharp blue.

The blade of the sword was indeed very sharp, and the angle of wiping was slightly off, and the thick towel wrapped around the blade was immediately cut in half, and there was not even a little resistance.

"The last time I met someone, he's gone." Lee Se-yoon smiled brightly.

"It's a pity, it's good to catch it in and make nourishment," Tong Wanning put the sword into the sheath and put it on the table, "Can you put away your fake smile, it makes me feel disgusting." ”

"Isn't there enough nourishment? Then I'll go find a few more people. ”

Li Shiyun didn't answer Tong Wanning's words, in fact, he didn't have anything to be happy about, but he just felt that he was more calm in front of Tong Wanning. After all, he was a courtier of King Ruo, and he should have been on an equal footing with this devil's descendant.

"No need," Tong Wanning stopped him, "This batch has reached maturity, and it can be released now." ”

"Now?" Li Shiyun's smile stiffened, and he walked quickly to Tong Wanning's side, "If Wang means to release him when he arrives in China." ”

"Ruowang, oh, what a ridiculous title," Tong Wanning sneered, "Jin Youna is just a puppet, don't forget who the ghost seal is loyal to." ”

"But ······" Li Shiyun still wanted to fight for it, but when he felt the terrifying aura on Tong Wanning's body, he had to swallow his words back.

Li Shiyun understood the devil's intentions, and the reason why she was in a hurry to release these mimetic insects was to complete the transmission and parasitism of more than 5,000 humans on the Haizhexing before reaching China.

Afterward, she may order the crew in deep hypnosis to resume their original routes, releasing the parasitic "Trojans" to various ports along the way. This creation, which caused the mass extinction, will repeat the history of millions of years ago today.

When the end is inevitable, all humanity can do is break its knees and bow down to the new king, whether he is the god of salvation or the devil of destruction. The reason why other ghost seal believers, including Li Shiyun, joined the "ghost seal", an organization that supports the devil, is nothing more than the same reason.

A pure-blooded devil who is far more noble than Tong Wanning personally crowned Jin Youna, honored her as "King Ruo", and promised that the devil would live on the throne with his followers.

The black flesh was as thick as a million years of silt, clinging to the iron walls of this morgue. Decomposing human corpses float and sink in the "sludge", dissolved and swallowed by the "sludge" at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Tong Wanning slowly walked towards the restless "Silt", which looked very afraid of her, and the black body that had been dripping on the floor frantically poured up the iron wall to get away from her.

Tong Wanning groaned and waved her slender arms, like a lord admonishing his people. Li Shiyun's legs trembled involuntarily, and he retreated to the door again and again.

The restless creature finally quieted down, and Li Shiyun knew what was going to happen next, so he reached out to open the door without hesitation. The iron door had just opened a small crack, and a dense roar like a tide poured into Li Shiyun's ears!

The "sludge" attached to the iron wall has split into countless snake-like bioid individuals, and they are screaming and screaming towards the iron gate, and they want to release this bloodthirsty nature that has been suppressed for millions of years at once!

Li Shiyun quickly withdrew his hand, threw himself forward and fell to the ground holding his head, shrinking his body as much as possible. The iron door was directly knocked out of the wall by the mimetic insects, smashing the inner wall of the corridor into a depression, and the black dark image gushed out like a flood.

······

Lin Banwei sat down on the deck with his hands on the aft railing, his calves cramping uncontrollably.

Originally, there was a couple kissing here, and when they found Lin Banwei, a down-and-out uninvited guest, they muttered a few words and left hand in hand.

What an irony, the fool enjoys the gift of love and desire; Pioneers who explore the edge of the world are threatened by the shadows of the unknown.

Lin Banwei looked up at the sky, but there were no clouds on the sea today.

He squinted, the sun scorched him like a flame, and he even thought of himself as the heart that had been burned by Higashino. For the first time, for the first time in his life, Lin Banwei felt that this sea kingdom was so oppressive.

Lin Banwei lowered his head again, feeling his head fall on his neck like a lead ball. His mental and physical strength was already on the verge of collapse, and he weakly reached into his pocket and fumbled for his phone.

The phone still has 2% power, but fortunately, he has set up an automatic power on and off every day, otherwise it would have been out of power for so many days. During this time, Miao Ruonan has been calling him on WeChat, but he didn't have the heart to answer it, and he didn't even glance at the message he sent.

57 missed calls, 99+ WeChat messages, almost all of them are Miao Ruonan's.

Lin Banwei's eyes couldn't open a little, he opened Miao Ruonan's chat box, and directly pressed the button to teleport to the first one, which was a few pictures. The wifi signal is weak, and the small ring on the picture has been circling in circles, Lin Banwei raised his mobile phone and tried to test it, but it was still weak. He simply stood up and walked back.

"Silly girl." Lin Banwei smiled tiredly.

The picture is loaded, and it is a pair of wedding rings taken from various angles, with carefully selected filters.

"Lin Banwei, I still can't help but tell you that the two of us want to go together, but the one I bought must be more expensive than yours!"

"Do you think this is good, when you propose, you bring both pairs, and then, you kneel down and hold them up for me to pick, it must be in a crowded place."

“emmmm······ It's okay to have fewer people, but you have to get down on your knees, on your knees. ”

Lin Banwei's nose couldn't help but be a little sour, and he kept scrolling down to check the news. Although he has not replied to Miao Ruonan these days, his girl has never been a little angry.

"I bought gifts for my uncle and aunt, and I'll go to your house tomorrow to help you find out first."

"I've arrived at the gate of the community, hahaha, a little nervous."

"Huh? There is a person in the community who is looking for your house, he said that he knows you, and he has the information that his uncle wants, congratulations, it seems that your research is finally going to make a breakthrough! His beard is so long, I don't remember the "Harry Potter" we watched together, hahaha, he looks like Dumbledore! ”

Dumbledore? Lin Banwei clicked on a picture below Miao Ruonan, his blood pressure suddenly soared, and he almost stared out his eyes! That's Higashino Ki! How can fucking Higashino appear in the country! What does he want to do!

Lin Banwei's breathing was like a drowning man, and his hand trembled and swiped down the message.

Suddenly, the screen goes black and the phone runs out of battery and automatically shuts down.

"Ahh Lin Banwei stomped his feet hysterically and spun in circles, shouting out with the only strength he had left! He's going crazy, the world is really going to drive him crazy!

Lin Banwei's voice quickly disappeared in the sea breeze, he gritted his teeth and sighed, and was about to run back to the room, when he suddenly heard a heart-rending sound.

He stood on the deck and looked down the hallway, the voice of despair getting closer and closer to him.

As soon as Lin Banwei stepped into the aisle, the pitch-black "flood" wrapped in screaming and crying crowds rolled out from the corner and swept towards Lin Banwei.

He was so frightened that he went into cardiac arrest for a moment, and his body reacted before he could realize it, and he turned and ran out.

Lin Banwei jumped up the guardrail without slowing down, an instinctive reaction left over from the Stone Age by humans, and staying away from the ground would keep you out of danger. For! His belly hit the guardrail, and inertia carried him headlong to the surface.

Boom!

Lin Banwei slammed into the rough sea, his eyes were dark, and his body felt like he had hit the concrete floor. Sharp pain came from everywhere, bitter water frantically pouring into his airways, and he struggled to wriggle his body to grasp something.

Just as he was about to despair, his left hand suddenly struck a hard object, and he pulled his body over, which was the great chain of the anchor! In the face of real danger, reason is always the first to fail. Lin Banwei climbed along the chained arm thick, but in his panic he completely misdirectioned, and went deeper and deeper into the sea.

Lin Banwei's body began to vibrate regularly with his heartbeat, his vision gradually recovered, and the boundless darkness finally faded.

However, all this has lost its meaning.

The sea water had filled his lungs, and the oxygen in his blood had been depleted to supply his brain. His vision began to blur again, and his consciousness quickly crumbled and drained away like a smashed hourglass.

Lin Banwei's hand broke off the chain, and the beams of light above pierced into the sea one by one, and his body fell in the swaying light and shadow.

"I'm sorry."

He saw his father, his mother, Miao Ruonan, and Dongye Qi.

See······ A huge face, the giant haunted, the chains of the anchor wrapped around his mountain-like body.

He fell on the giant's face and fell asleep with the giant.
