"Board the ship!?"

Looking at the eerie pirate ship in the sea, Charlize's eyes flashed with fear.

However, out of curiosity, she did want to go to the ship to have a look.

As a couple who have "communicated" countless times, Charlotte saw through her ambivalence at a glance.

"Sally, you don't have to worry!"

Charlotte said with a smile,

"There's nothing dangerous in this process, you see!"

As he spoke, he pointed to his feet—

Charlize was shocked to find that starting from her and Charlotte's feet, stretching in the direction of the pirate ship, a road paved with bright red flowers was forming out of thin air.

The flowers on this path have no leaves.

Their petals are inverted-lanceolate, and the flowers grow on straight, erect stems that seem to stick out of the void.

- Whether the sand is underneath the stem, gravel or sparkling water.

"The flowers bloom without the leaves, and the leaves do not see the flowers. Sally, do you know the flowers of the other side?"

Charlotte asked with a smile.

"Flowers from the other side!?"

Charlize was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the knowledge of spells that Charlotte had told her before,

"You mean, Manju Sahua!?The flowers on the road to Huangquan !?"

"Yes. ”

"It's no wonder that it's a very beautiful flower road, but it always makes people feel a little sad. ”

Charlize sighed and said,

"Did you use your spell to make a path like this, are you going to step on them and board that ghost ship?"

"Yes! If a living person wants to board the ghost's ship, he must first take the Yellow Springs Road—the road paved with flowers on the other side is a substitute. ”

Charlotte explained in a rather poetic tone, and then took a step forward, stepping on the path of the void paved with bright red flowers on the other side.

"Come, Sally!"

He held out his hand to Charlize.

This time, Charlize did not hesitate, and with Charlotte's strength, she also stepped on the flower road.

"How strange!"

Charlize tried to step on it a few times,

"There's no actual touch under your feet, it's like you're stepping on air out of thin air. Wait!"

She reacted suddenly,

"Charlotte, we're not in the real world anymore, are we?"

"Realized so quickly!?"

Charlotte had a surprised smile on her face,

"Yes, we're not in reality right now, but it's not a dream either—you think it's a special space where dreams and reality blend!"

"And this kind of place!?"

"Absolutely!"

Charlotte said with a smile,

"Actually, after a person dies, if a ghost is born, it will first appear in this special space. However, because this space relies on the dreams of living people, it is not stable. This kind of instability makes most of the ghosts naturally dissipate as soon as they are born—after all, even the space in which they exist disappears together!"

"It sounds a bit like a resting place before going to hell or heaven, the one from Dante's Divine Comedy!"

Charlize understood, and Charlotte nodded,

"It's just that this rest house is in crisis. ”

"Then Alexis—"

"After Alexis turned into a ghost, she was able to survive because she was relatively strong, and at the same time, she was lucky to encounter a moment when the space was relatively stable, which allowed her to survive the time when yin and yang were intertwined and she could enter the real world again. ”

"I see. In other words, even if it's a ghost, it actually depends on luck?"

Charlize came to a strange conclusion.

Moreover, Charlotte can't say that this conclusion is wrong,

"Actually, it's not just ghosts, it's living people, what kind of life you can have in your life is also closely related to your background and talent!"

Charlotte grinned with a wry expression,

"Reincarnation, but it's a very critical technology!"

"Not really!"

Charlize glanced at Charlotte with a smile,

"How can you fight to be the only winner among hundreds of millions of competitors without a little luck?"

“......”

Charlotte suddenly discovers that Charlize has been talking to herself lately and is getting dirty.

"Could it be that a woman will change so much when she gets married!?"

Charlotte thought helplessly.

However, seeing his wife stretching out the tip of her bright red tongue and licking her plump lips, with an ambiguous expression of aftertaste, he couldn't care about helplessness.

"When the ghost ship is settled, let's come to this beach once and let her taste hundreds of millions of competitors again!"

Charlotte, who was on fire, thought viciously.

Of course, even if she is already thinking about the way to "celebrate" in the future, Charlotte still remembers the current business after all.

He pulled Charlize by the way, carefully following the flower-paved path on the other side, towards the ghost ship that had been quiet.

And as he walked, Charlize further realized that they were not in the real world-

After all, even if she put her feet into the sea water on the side of the flower road, she couldn't make a splash.

- This is naturally not in accordance with Archimedes' buoyancy rule.

"So, what we're walking on this flower path now is actually the soul?"

Charlize asked curiously,

"Our bodies, in fact, are still on the beach by the sea?"

"You can understand it that way. ”

Charlotte nodded,

"However, this space this time is formed by the fusion of my dreams with reality, so it is not so unstable, and we can act in it at will. ”

"I see!"

Charlize somewhat understood,

"So, this flower road can also be said to be a manifestation of your own aesthetics?"

“...... The same can be said. ”

Charlotte coughed a little embarrassed,

"However, this is also something that cannot be helped, and only through this space between dreams and reality can we board the ghost ship. ”

"Why?"

Charlize asked, puzzled,

"Didn't we often fight against ghosts in the past through wall-drawn worlds or dreams, and why did we use this space this time?"

"Because it was only after I eliminated Jack the Ripper and obtained his remaining knowledge that I clearly understood the nature of this space and was able to enter here on my own initiative. ”

Charlotte shrugged and said,

"Before, most of the ghosts we dealt with in the dream world were nightmares who could actively enter the dream world, but the ghost ship is not so aggressive, and it will not and has the ability to enter our dreams. ”

"What about the wall space?"

"Painted wall space!?"

Charlotte smiled,

"Sally, don't you think that the space between dreams and reality is very similar to the space of the painting wall?"

"You mean?"

"The painting wall space and this space are essentially the same. ”

Charlotte explains,

"It's just that the wall space is more like an independent world, with its own characters and stories, and this space is closer to reality. ”

"But why is this happening?"

"Well...... this"
