[Cruise Ship Carnival] Clearing the Instance by Sinking the Ship
They stood silently on the boat, their eyes gleaming with a sinister light, wisps of mist floating around them at their feet! The moonlight was obscured by clouds, making the surroundings exceptionally dark.
The searchlights on the cruise ship flickered on and off, constantly changing, as these Special Ghost Slave slowly slipped into the cabins.
Time flew by in the night, and Si Yehan slept soundly without any dreams.
As dawn broke, there was still no light; everything remained a hazy, gloomy gray, yet no rain fell. Si Yehan lifted his eyelids, waking from a deep sleep, only to be met with a hideous face hanging upside down on the ceiling!
Blood crisscrossed his jet-black face, outlining bizarre marks, and the mirror on his chest gleamed coldly! Five Ghost Slaves hovered on the ceiling, as if sensing that Si Yehan had awakened from his dream. A vertical blood-red slit appeared on the faces of these Ghost Slaves, from which a blue light flowed.
A single, vertical blue pupil stared intently at Si Yehan!
Five pairs of eyes turned their cold gazes to Si Yehan. He remained calm and immediately realized that these were Ghost Slaves. However, they were clearly hybrids from last night's battle, stronger than the original Ghost Slaves, and perhaps had inherited all the killing patterns of the three-headed Vengeful Ghost.
After noticing the mirror, Si Yehan looked away and straightened up, only to find the entire bedroom filled with Ghost Slaves! Countless blue eyes stared intently at him, sharp claws appearing before his eyes only to vanish in an instant.
Blood dripped, Si Yehan casually put on his clothes and shoes. His dark eyes were indifferent as he walked towards the door, passing directly through the Ghost Slave's body.
As long as the space isn't confined within this narrow area, there's nothing to worry about.
Even if I'm locked in the bedroom, I can just fall asleep again. But if I'm now lost in my dreams, will it disturb the killing patterns of these Ghost Slave?
After all, they are hybrids, and who knows what new killing patterns might emerge. It's still necessary to test the waters. As these thoughts raced through his mind, Si Yehan opened the door, but these Special Ghost Slave were also following him.
Upon entering the living room, Si Yehan discovered several more of these Ghost Slave. He didn't pay them any attention because the rule that "looking in the mirror for more than a minute while alone will result in death" didn't specify whether the time spent looking in the mirror was a single, continuous act or cumulative.
If it's the former, there's no risk. If it's the latter, glancing at it a few times now and then a few more times later would already meet the criteria for murder. Besides, the time spent looking in the mirror in the bedroom just now wasn't short.
These Ghost Slaves wore mirrors around their necks, making them hard to miss. Si Yehan's eyelids were slightly lowered, and he remained completely unmoved by the ferocious appearance of these Ghost Slaves. He walked steadily and simply ate the food he had scavenged the day before.
Si Yehan simply sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and glanced at the time displayed [8:36]. As the movie started playing, the Ghost Slave intentionally or unintentionally stood in front of the TV to block the view.
They are still unable to touch it, Si Yehan simply closed his eyes to rest, calculating the passage of time in his mind. Although the weather was overcast today, it was not raining.
Listening to the audio playing continuously on the television, Si Yehan's consciousness did not drift off to sleep. The eerie background music made the surrounding Ghost Slave even more terrifying, but Si Yehan did not even spare a glance for Ghost Slave.
As time drew to a close, more than six hours had passed before Si Yehan slowly opened his eyes, casually ate some food, and tidied up his equipment once more.
Throughout the entire movie, I didn't look at the Ghost Slaves around me or turn off the TV; I just let the movie play.
His demeanor grew increasingly cold and indifferent as he descended the corridor, stepping over the blood-soaked ground. Corpses were scattered everywhere; perhaps due to the ship's condition and the unusual weather, the bodies were covered in wounds and dripping with blood, yet they did not smell foul.
Si Yehan kicked the corpses aside to make room for a more open space. He walked to the deck, where the doors to the entertainment hall were still open. Inside, the flesh was piled up and bones hung everywhere, making it look particularly bloody!
The Ghost Slave floated closely behind him, and the sight of the entertainment hall aroused their appetite. However, since the hall was filled with corpses turned into a pile of flesh, the killing pattern was not triggered, and no matter how much they wanted to eat, they could not move to go up and feast.
In an instant, the cyan pupils transformed back into an instinctive chill, erasing the primal appetite that had once been present.
Si Yehan ignored the Ghost Slaves and followed the path he had taken to the engine room. The corridors were somewhat damaged as he passed through the cargo hold, and the air was filled with a faint smell of burning.
Upon reaching the power compartment, Si Yehan mentally calculated the time, his eyes slightly raised as he gazed at the machines. He leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, continuing his calculations, while the Ghost Slave had passed through the wall simply stood motionless to the side.
It was probably because Si Yehan was the only living person left on the ship that all the Ghost Slave stayed close to him.
As the time drew closer to the end of the instance, the Ghost Slave showed an instinctive unease, hesitating before quickly retreating from Si Yehan's side, as if hiding from some ominous creature!
Si Yehan reached into the outer pocket of his trench coat and took out a pistol, intending to sabotage the machinery in the engine compartment. He aimed at the precision joints, not the covered parts, otherwise, it wouldn't have been easy to pierce them with the pistol.
A strange sound rang out, and Si Yehan noticed the floor beneath his feet shaking. At the same time, the cruise ship anchored on the sea was slowly sinking.
Water was spraying everywhere on the ship, Si Yehan ignored the chaos and walked onto the deck. Looking at the surging sea below, he felt nothing. He estimated the time until the sea level reached the bottom railing of the deck and touched the soles of his shoes.
The surrounding space suddenly distorted, countless whirlpools appeared on the sea, and strong winds and waves rose up. The Special Ghost Slaves who had been clinging to Si Yehan were pulled out by a special gravitational force!
Suddenly, cries rang out, startling all around. The Ghost Slaves were swept into a whirlpool on the sea surface and vanished into ashes in an instant!
The crimson light eroded the surrounding space, fading the color. The sea was boiling, a mirror was torn from the seabed, and the voices of the Mirror Ghost, the Sea Resentment Ghost, and the Sea Skull Ghost intertwined, seemingly screaming with all their might!
The seawater crashed in all directions, and no matter how much the Vengeful Ghosts roared in anger, it was to no avail.
Si Yehan's body gradually became ethereal, and endless, deep darkness appeared around him. The mirror was drawn into it, and the three ghosts appeared! They sank into the darkness along with thousands of Vengeful Ghosts, seemingly in pain, yet also seemingly thirsting for slaughter.
By this time, the cruise ship had sunk into the sea, and schools of fish leaped from the surface and plunged into the ship to devour the carcasses.
[Cruise Ship Carnival], Shipwreck Clearance!
A deep, dark abyss descended, and Si Yehan's figure vanished.
