Chapter 284: The Sea of ??Falsehood, the [Diamond Star] in History
A moment.
?Countless messy lights and shadows passed by Xia En''s eyes.
?There are majestic and pale icebergs standing on the sea, there are people standing on the edge of the deck with frightened faces, there are also huge waves that are constantly rising, and the sea water pouring in...
It’s not just a picture.
Xia En also vaguely heard angry roars, violent collisions, and the exclamations and shouts of countless men and women mixed together.
At the end of these sights and sounds, there was a ball of extremely dazzling white light.
?It all happened so fast.
? So that before Xia En had time to think about the meaning of these images and sounds, they had been stripped from Xia En''s perception.
?Gradually, the white light in front of Xia En''s eyes faded like a tide.
What appeared in front of him was a strange cabin.
Under the dim light, you can see the exquisite tapestries hanging on the walls, the shelves with many decorations, and a large and gorgeous bed.
This appears to be a cabin used for accommodation.
The layout of some rooms in Black Swan is very similar.
It’s just that the furnishing style of this cabin is relatively old and has a retro feel from the previous era.
?There are also some jewelry such as gemstones and gold, which are worth a lot at first glance and reveal a luxurious temperament.
Like the room of a noble or merchant.
"here it is…"
Xia En raised his eyebrows and felt strange.
?A second ago, he was clearly still on the bow of the [Diamond Star], and he suddenly hit the body of the ghost ship.
Why did you arrive at this completely unfamiliar place in the next second?
Xia En lowered his head and looked even more surprised.
His clothes have also changed from the usual captain''s clothes to a set of exquisitely made and gorgeous clothes, also in the expensive aristocratic style.
Shaan looked at the mirror on the wall again.
??I saw a handsome and upright aristocratic young man standing in the mirror.
?His appearance has not changed, but against the backdrop of this gorgeous costume, he looks even more elegant, with almost no flaws.
?With Xia En''s current strength, almost no one can change him into such clothes when he is not paying attention.
?Shaan quickly thought of another more reasonable explanation—
During the collision between the two [Diamond Star] ships, he seemed to have entered another space different from reality.
At the same time, it replaces the identity of someone here.
This situation is somewhat similar to the state of playing John Smith when he was promoted to the fourth level.
But there are obvious differences between the two.
Where is this space?
What role is he playing now?
?Shaan did not think deeply about these issues for the time being, but quickly scanned the room to search for them.
He has not forgotten that Joey was also on the Diamond Star earlier!
?This means that there is a high probability that she has also broken into this mysterious and strange space.
Not long.
??Xia En''s eyes fell on the big bed in the center of the room.
It was only now that he noticed that there was an inconspicuous bulge in the soft and smooth quilt.
?Shaan called out tentatively: "Joy?"
“Mr. Captain?”
A muffled, slightly nervous voice came from under the quilt, but Xia En was so familiar that it made him smile: "It''s me."
Suddenly, the quilt on the bed was lifted off.
?However, what Shane didn''t expect was that Joey was only wearing a very thin piece of underwear.
?Just by lifting the quilt, a large amount of spring light leaks out, which is really beautiful.
At this time, Xia En had to admit...
??Joy, you have definitely grown up.
The tomboy-like girl from before is gone forever.
??If Joey were to dress up as a man now, Shane would be able to recognize him at a glance.
“Woo!”
??After Joey made this action, he seemed to realize his current state, and he couldn''t help but let out a shy, small animal-like cry.
?She quickly wrapped the quilt around herself, leaving only a small white-haired head exposed, like a large caterpillar.
“Ship, Mr. Captain, what’s going on?”
In order to relieve his shyness and embarrassment, Joey changed the subject: "Where are we?"
She is also curious about her environment.
Where’s the [Diamond Star]?
What about that ghost ship in the fog?
Xia En calmed down and thought: "If I guessed correctly, we should be on the [Diamond Star] now..."
"What?"
??Joy''s eyes widened in surprise: "You mean, that ghost ship?"
“But how come there is such a new room on that ship?”
The [Diamond Star] in [Misty Sea] has been sailing alone on the sea for thousands of years.
According to common sense, most of the things on it should be decayed, but whether it is the floor, walls, or various furnishings in the room, they are all too new.
??Xia En could even smell the smell from the wooden boards as if it had just been built not long ago.
This is extremely unusual.
?However, the [Diamond Star] itself, as a ghost ship, is actually the biggest anomaly!
Shane speculated: "I suspect that the [Diamond Star] we are on may be in a special state."
“Maybe not even in the real world.”
“As for why you and I are here in this state.”
“Probably because we act as a couple in this abnormal space.”
At this moment, Xia En also noticed that there were not only male living utensils in this bedroom, but also a large number of traces belonging to women.
For example, long skirts and stockings scattered on the floor.
Another example is the cosmetics on the cabinet.
?These traces show that the two people who originally lived in this room were not just husband and wife, but at least they were lovers.
"couple…"
Hearing Xia En’s guess, Joey’s focus was obviously a little off.
?Her little face was red and she wrapped the quilt around her tighter. She didn''t know what she was thinking in her little head.
?Shane continued: "This is just my guess."
“If you want to verify it, you have to go out and have a look.”
??Joy nodded his little head: "Yeah, but I have to change clothes first..."
“That’s right.”
?Shaan opened the closet next to him, picked out a set of clothes, and placed them next to the bed.
Subsequently, he thoughtfully pushed open a small door inside the room—this was the bathroom connected to the bedroom.
?On a ship, having a bedroom with a separate bathroom is actually quite a luxury.
It can also explain the extraordinary identity of the original owner of this room.
After waiting in the bathroom for a while, Joey''s shy voice came from outside the door.
“Mr. Captain, I’m fine.”
?Xia En opened the door and took a look, and couldn''t help being slightly startled.
Most of the clothes that can be placed in the wardrobe in this room are gorgeous and complicated aristocratic costumes.
??The purple-black dress that Joey is wearing now is no exception. This long dress has a strong palace style and is extremely gorgeous.
?This is very different from the girl''s usual simple and pure dressing style, which gives her a sense of girlish innocence and a somewhat mature charm.
?The long silver-white hair poured down like mercury, and the red pupils added a mysterious atmosphere and texture.
?Shaan also didn’t expect that Joey, who suddenly changed his style, would be so stunning.
Even he couldn''t help but lose consciousness for a moment.
“Mr. Captain?”
??Joy asked a little shyly: "Does it look good?"
“Well, it’s nice.”
Shaan said calmly: "It suits you very well."
“It seems like I should buy you a few more clothes of different styles.”
Hearing such a straightforward compliment, Joey''s pretty face blushed even harder, and she was secretly delighted.
Just when the room fell into a brief silence.
咚咚!
?Two polite knocks came from outside the door.
Xia En''s expression suddenly became solemn, and he looked out the door warily.
He did not forget the strange situation he was in.
In this strange space, who knows whether the existence encountered is a living person or some kind of mimic monster?
Xia En tentatively replied: "Who?"
“Mr. Shane, breakfast is ready.”
The voice outside the door was very respectful: "Should it be brought in for you, or should you go to the restaurant to enjoy it yourself?"
?Mr Shane?
He knows my name?
Could it be that this space also extracted part of my memory?
—Xia En has heard that there is some kind of extremely realistic illusion in the Seven Seas. This illusion is combined with the memory of the person who is being cast, so it will appear flawless and it is extremely difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
The current situation is somewhat similar to this.
Xia En''s thoughts were up and down, and he replied: "I''ll just go to the restaurant by myself."
“Yes, then I won’t disturb you and my wife.”
After saying that, the sounds outside the door gradually faded away.
“Mr. Captain?”
??Joy also realized the seriousness of the situation, restrained his thoughts, and asked seriously.
“What to do now?”
?Shaan thought clearly: "No matter what, we can''t hide here for the rest of our lives. We have to take a look at the world outside this door."
“However, don’t use the title ‘Mr. Captain’ when you go out. Just call me Sean, or Mr. Sean.”
“Besides, we are playing the role of husband and wife, so it’s best not to reveal any flaws.”
??Joy nodded heavily: "Yes! Ship...Mr. Shane!"
After getting ready, Xia En pushed open the wooden door in front of him.
——
?At the same time as the wooden door was pushed open, the bright sunlight shone down and caught the eyes of Xia En and the two of them.
Xia En narrowed his eyes slightly. After two days in the [Misty Sea], seeing such sunlight felt a bit dazzling.
Wait a minute...This also means that they are not in the [Misty Sea] now?
Xia En looked up.
?The sky was blue and clear, not to mention the oppressive and accumulated white fog, not even a few clouds could be seen.
?Like a huge sapphire.
Below the blue sky, there is the vast sea.
The morning sun reflects undulations on the sea surface like fine gold foil.
To be honest, this scene is so beautiful that one can’t help but appreciate it.
But for some reason, Xia En felt that something was wrong.
?This sea and this sky both reveal a feeling of emptiness.
?Honestly speaking, they give Xia En the feeling of being like a huge background board.
It seems realistic and beautiful, but it can never be touched because...
Their essence is false fakes!
“Mr. Shane…”
??Joy held Xia En''s arm and whispered: "This sea has no soul..."
?Joy possesses part of the power of the Storm Goddess and is naturally able to sense and control the power of the sea.
Her words undoubtedly confirmed Xia En''s guess.
In this space, I am afraid that only this [Diamond Star] is real.
?This discovery immediately gave up the idea of ????Xia En taking Joey into the sea to escape.
No one knows what lies at the edge of this false sea.
??If you get lost in the sea, you may completely lose the chance to escape from this space.
??After observing the environment outside the ship''s hull, Xia En moved his gaze to the corridor beside him and the deck below.
The cabin where he and Joey were located was located on the upper level of the entire ship.
?Standing at this angle, you can naturally see several sparse figures on the deck.
They seemed to be the waiters and sailors on the ship. They were cleaning the deck and starting to make some preparations.
In the corridor, there were several men and women also wearing aristocratic costumes, walking towards the restaurant in a hurry.
?Among them, a young man wearing a top hat noticed Xia En and the two of them, smiled and nodded in greeting.
“Good day, Mr. Shane and Ms. Joy.”
?Joy''s body was a little stiff, and he faintly wanted to take action.
From her point of view, this big ship is full of weirdness.
??The people on these ships don''t know whether they are dead or alive, and they might turn into monsters and pounce on them the next moment.
??Xia En squeezed her hand gently, indicating for her to relax, and responded with a calm expression.
“Good day.”
In his perception, these passers-by are alive and there is no danger.
A rash attack may cause some kind of change.
"Mr. Xia En, you and your wife have a really good relationship. Are you here for your honeymoon?"
??The young man in the top hat smiled and said, "I won''t bother you anymore."
“I wish you a pleasant journey.”
Journey? Honeymoon?
?Xia En was filled with doubts.
【Diamond Star】, wasn''t it built as a "Noah''s Ark" to avoid the great flood?
Why do you think other passengers behave like they are here to enjoy the trip?
Xia En thought for a while, found a waiter next to him, and asked.
“Where is the final destination of this ship?”
??The waiter looked at Xia En with a very strange look, but still said honestly: "Of course it is the Qingfeng Port of the Great Yan Kingdom."
“Diamond Star performed very well during this trial voyage and visited several kingdoms without any problems.”
“Of course we have to return to Qingfeng Port quickly for final assembly and debugging.”
“Trial voyage…”
Hearing this term, Xia En suddenly wanted to understand a lot of things.
Obviously, after the [Diamond Star] is manufactured, it will definitely have to go through several tests before it can be regarded as a real "Noah''s Ark."
?Before that, it was like an ordinary ship, carrying the function of transporting goods and tourists.
? And the words of this waiter also represent that the time in this space is the era before the great flood has come!
Could it be that Xia En has returned to the past again?
