Chapter 44: Reality TV
Zero Er and Shen Chan walked slowly down the corridor on this floor, and every time they passed a room, he would shine a flashlight inside.
The interior of the room is more or less similar, with extravagant private rooms – brown upholstered sofa seats, dark red wallpaper, ceiling lamps hidden in the ceiling, a gundam wine cabinet, terrazzo marble table, and a TV embedded in the wall.
It seems to be for some high-class people and aristocratic lords.
"What are these......
Following behind Shen Chan, looking at the decoration of these rooms, some questions arose.
Shen Chan pointed to the signs and replied, "VIP box, isn't it written on it?" ”
"I know, but why are there VIP rooms here?"
Zero Er still asked, puzzled.
The style of the ship...... It's so weird!
It looks old, but it's mostly made of metal, and even synthetic, and it doesn't look like an old ship.
Standing on the deck, it looks like a freighter, but the cabins on the ground three levels serve as a prison, a ballroom, and a wine cellar.
Now there is a VIP room in the cabin of the superstructure......
This made Zero Two completely confused.
Even as a "ghost ship", the boss that appears on the deck later has nothing to do with ghosts except for the "ghost sea monster" in its name!
It's more like an out-of-control test from some evil Big Tech, a mad scientist's secret lab.
This copy has an ...... "weird" aura from head to toe.
Even a reckless player like Zero Er, who doesn't care much about the background story of the dungeon and the main story mission, and clears the customs to kill and kill all the way, has somewhat smelled some abnormal smells.
Of course, it was still too difficult for her to let Zero Er figure out the truth by herself.
So even if you have doubts in your heart, the choice of Zero Two is very simple!
Ask Shen Chan and it's over!
"What the hell is going on?"
When you go to school, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to ask your classmates!
Zero Er looked at Shen Chan and asked sincerely.
The two men had reached the end of the hallway on the first floor, and a wide staircase leading to the next floor appeared on the right.
Shen Chan didn't answer Ling Er's question directly, but took her up the stairs, thinking and speaking.
"Well, how do you say it......"
"Since you're asking, it means that you have already understood, there must be something wrong with this copy, but you don't know what's wrong, right?"
Shen Chan said this, and Zero Er nodded.
"That's right, don't sell it, Shu," Zero Er said, scratching his head, "If I encounter this kind of thing myself, forget it, after all, I usually can't figure it out, so it's better not to ...... But you know the answer, so let's get straight to my curiosity! ”
As Zero II said this, the two of them had already reached the corridor on the second floor.
Shen Chan poked out his head and looked for it with a flashlight, just like the structure of the first floor, it was basically a bunch of VIP rooms and corridors with a clear view, so he didn't go in, but chose to continue to move towards the third floor.
Shen Chan, who retreated from the second floor, spoke: "Have you noticed a little, I haven't lit the manifestation talisman since the second floor. ”
As he spoke, Zero Er was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"I think so, but I thought you burned it out."
"No, it's not burned, I have a lot of manifest talismans," Shen Chan said, taking out a handful from the extradimensional space, pulling out a piece of light and stuffing it into his trouser pocket, "I just don't think there's any need to ignite it." ”
The manifestation talisman burned quietly, and the surroundings were still empty, and there were no ghosts or spirits manifested by the effect of this charm.
"It's absolutely safe here, but rather, there's no invisible threat on this 'ghost ship' at all."
Shen Chan said this, and took Zero Two to the last floor, that is, the third cabin.
There is only one door in the corridor on this level at the end of the corridor, and there are no paintings on the walls on either side.
Both Shen Chan and Zero Er knew very well that behind that door, there was a bridge that could be glimpsed outside.
Shen Chan quickened his pace and approached the door of the bridge, and Zero Er hurriedly followed, also even more puzzled.
"Then why is it called the 'Ghost Ship'...... And there's that bloody handprint! ”
"The bloody handprint could be the metal plate itself...... The special paint, or even the thing that looks like a metal plate itself could be a screen or something," Shen Chan said, standing in front of the door of the bridge, "Anyway...... Let's open this door first. ”
Shen Chan said, leaning sideways again.
The locksmith didn't shirk it, nodded, and then kicked open the locked bridge door.
What appeared in front of the two of them was not a bridge at all - there were no rudders, binoculars, instrument dials, and no elements related to "ships".
Leather chairs and sofas, delicate goblets, beautiful square tables, gold ornaments......
The huge curved glass on three sides can take in the grand view of the entire deck, and the huge projection screen is placed in front of the glass.
This is the most noble, luxurious and spacious VIP box.
And here on the wall behind the two of them, hang two beautifully painted posters.
A mechanical sea monster with a frenzy on it brandished its tentacles in pursuit of the two villains who fled in a hurry.
The other depicts two young men with blurred faces holding torches exploring the ballroom in the cabin, flanked by dummies and gramophones.
Each poster is printed with eye-catching text.
"The seventeenth season of the super reality show is on the air!"
"Escape from the Ghost Ship, looking forward to your arrival!"
Seeing this, Zero Er also reacted......
"It's a reality show?! A show?! ”
She said incredulously.
"Yes, even the original copy name suggests - "Escape from the Ghost Ship", which also carries the title number."
Shen Chan said calmly, and Zero Er scratched his head.
"So, there are no ghosts at all?"
Shen Chan spread out his hand.
"Of course, this is just a reality TV show after all...... These superstructures are for those who have bought VIP tickets to come and watch the escape show live. ”
"Especially in this largest VIP room, you can see the mechanical octopus from the best perspective without using the TV."
After speaking, Shen Chan took out the radio from his trouser pocket.
Now, even the sound of electricity is completely silent.
"The voice that appeared on every floor we went to along the way was the voice of the host of this show."
"In short, this should be a special program organized by a chaebol to serve some special rich people, or ......"
"It's just a legal show born in a deformed society!"
