She changed into the dress that her father bought for her. After rummaging through her luggage, she reluctantly found a set of jewelry that her father had casually stuffed into her luggage. Finally, she urgently called her cousin to ask for guidance on how to put on makeup.
Thankfully, there was a cosmetics store on the cruise ship.
In short, she used all the methods she could think of.
Lina created a miracle!
When the party started, the well-dressed girl almost glowed.
She successfully attracted the attention of all the baboons present!
Andre, the father, stood behind and watched this scene. He couldn't help but want to wipe away his tears.
His daughter had grown up!
But at the same time, he had an urge to buy a shotgun online.
— — Let's see which little bastard dared to seduce his baby!
Such a contradictory feeling of anticipation and uneasiness was really indescribable.
Fortunately, his daughter seemed to be looking left and right the whole night, and didn't pay attention to anyone's invitation at all.
She didn't even bother to look at the buffet that she usually focused on.
Until the end of the party, she returned to her room resentfully and didn't say anything. As a father, he had no idea what had happened.
"What else could have happened?" The sister on the phone laughed like a goose. "Lina has grown up, and she likes a man! You idiot! "
Man?!
What man!
Half an hour after Andre hung up the phone, he clicked the button to buy a shotgun online for the sixteenth time!
He couldn't wait to ask the other party to send his luxurious gold-plated double-barreled shotgun and sixteen elephant hunting bullets to him through the helicopter today.
Sharpening the knife — —
Tell me, Kangkang, which reckless bastard dares to seduce my family's little cutie!
"Don't ask, Dad, it's none of your business."
Every time he asked about the topic, the smile on his daughter's face would immediately disappear when she was distracted. She would become depressed and lie on the table or crawl under the blanket without speaking.
For the next few days, the depressed girl almost went around the entire Turquoise, but she still couldn't find the person she was looking for.
Until she couldn't take it anymore and ran to the concierge to check the passenger list.
"Huai Shi?"
The staff member looked puzzled. After some searching, he turned the computer screen to show her. "Sorry, Miss Lina, this name isn't on the passenger list.
On this voyage from the Russian Federation to America, there were only four Asian passengers, and the Mr. Huai you are looking for was not among them.
Perhaps you've made a mistake somewhere … "
"No, that's definitely the name."
Lina emphasized, "Also, bad thing, pregnant stone, and other syllables, you can look for them all."
"Uh …"
The staff member revealed an indescribable expression, as well as a flash of helplessness, which was clearly captured by Lina.
This guy must know something!
She took out the negotiation skills she had learned from her father and pressed on, refusing to let go.
In the end, he finally pried open the lady's mouth.
In fact, it wasn't that troublesome.
Just by holding her arm and acting coquettishly, the lady who had a daughter of the same age as her began to waver.
"Alright, Miss Lina, I admit that I have indeed heard of this name."
The manager sighed. "But you must have made a mistake, because if my memory is correct, the Mr. Huai Shi you mentioned is not a musician, but the chairman of the shipping company that this Turquoise belongs to, 'Danbo International Shipping Group' …"
As she spoke, she took out a thick book from the cabinet. "If you are interested in this, we have a corporate culture booklet here, maybe you can find what you want in it."
"Forget it …"
Lina shook her head in frustration and turned away.
She didn't even want to look.
Danbo? Shipping Group? Chairman?
The image of a stooped old man in a robe was already in front of her … Was she mistaken to expect to find a stranger who she had only briefly spoken to in a corporate culture book?
She even suspected that the existence of that person was her own illusion.
There were too many illusions.
The strange faces on the bark, the sharp laughter echoing in the cemetery, the resentful eyes occasionally seen in the reflection of the school's sink, and the strange shadows attached to others … She had long been accustomed to it.
The psychiatrist told her that these were all her illusions.
Because she was too young when her mother passed away, her mind was traumatized.
Perhaps, the so-called name Huai Shi was just her imagination after accidentally reading that booklet.
Together with the dream-like encounter.
The psychiatrist solemnly told her that once a similar situation occurred, she must contact the hospital for medication. But how could she go to the hospital in the vast sea?
She could only lie on the sofa in the room and didn't even participate in the outside activities.
She didn't want to see anything.
Until she woke up from her sleep in the middle of the night, she suddenly realized.
No.
Something was wrong —
It should be said that it was not her that was wrong, but the ship!
Ever since he boarded this ship, that strange feeling had been lingering in his mind. Now, the high-pitched whine that resembled the cry of a whale once again surfaced in his mind.
Under the scarlet moonlight, she couldn't help but feel cold.
Creepy.
When the halo and illusion brought by the accidental encounter disappeared without a trace, recalling what she saw and felt along the way, she could only come to one conclusion — there was a problem here!
But was this her imagination after her mind was traumatized, or was there a more terrible truth? She couldn't tell, she just instinctively wanted to ask her father for help.
But when she didn't get a response after knocking for a long time, she opened the door only to find that her father was still snoring thunderously.
No matter how she pushed, called, or even poked her fingertips with a needle, he couldn't wake up.
Under the dim red moon, the middle-aged man turned over in his dream, the corner of his mouth raised into a smile that made Lina's hair stand on end.
It was as if everything was perfect in the dream, so happy.
In the dead silence, the girl fell into a daze.
Only to hear the nightmarish screams, from afar, sounded again!
There was a low sound of footsteps gradually fading away from the door.
The sound of clothes rubbing against each other was mixed with the sound, as if something heavy was being dragged …
While trembling, Lina got up from the curled up position and gathered her courage.
No, I can't go on like this …
.
.
The muddy moonlight shone through the window into the corridor.
In the silent cruise ship, there was a deathly silence and coldness like a grave.
Lina rubbed her arms, curled up in the corner, and quietly spied — those charmingly naive, gentle, and cute dolls during the day, when night came, they walked stiffly, wandering in the dark cabins without light.
There was only emptiness in her crystal-adorned eyes.
As if they were patrolling, looking for any signs of life.
But the security guards and sailors had all disappeared — the deck, the theater, the restaurant, and even the reception desk, the whole world seemed to have died, and she was the only living person who breathed out pale white fog.
But looking at those strange and gloomy dolls, Lina couldn't help but suspect that she was going to follow in the footsteps of the others.
She began to regret coming out.
Perhaps it would have been better to stay in the cabin.
But when the familiar screams came again, she couldn't help but tremble again.
She trembled, but there was nothing she could do. In the vast sea, there was nowhere to go even if she wanted to escape.
Only the cold moonlight was silently mocking her.
When she finally gathered her courage and walked into the cabin, avoiding the patrolling dolls, and walked into the warehouse where the screams came from … She almost screamed when she saw a doll coming from the other side of the corner!
A pink and tender teddy bear with a bow on its head was dragging a thick cloth bag behind it. It was almost walking towards her!
Its charmingly naive face was covered in scarlet red, and sticky blood kept dripping from its body and the cloth bag in her hand.
As if it sensed something, Blood Bear sniffed the lingering perfume in the air and looked around.
But it didn't notice Lina hiding behind the table.
The heavy footsteps left.
Lina swallowed her saliva and looked at the bloody cabin door. Trembling, she walked up step by step …
Through the gap, she saw the nightmare that she couldn't get rid of in her life.
From the opened container, under the restraint of countless chains, thick tentacles stretched out from the darkness, spasming, and huge mouthparts hissed, spreading out screams that no one could hear.
In the midst of the blood, the dolls were holding chainsaws and all kinds of sharp blades, cutting the monster in the warehouse in an incomparably cruel way.
The scarlet color spread.
And as if it sensed something, a pair of eyes suddenly turned around and looked at Lina through the gap.
Lina opened her mouth, wanting to scream.
But soon, she reacted and wanted to cover her mouth to stifle the scream in her heart.
But there was a cold hand that reacted faster than her.
It covered her face.
Pulling her back.
Lina's heart instantly turned cold, and she trembled. She wanted to struggle and resist, but when she turned around, she felt like she was hallucinating again.
She saw the face that she had been searching for these days.
"Shh!"
The man named Huai Shi hugged her, raised his finger, and put it in front of his lips. His dark eyes seemed to be shining with stars, and Lina was stunned on the spot.
"Calm down." Huai Shi whispered.
After a long time, in the corner, Lina finally calmed down, and tears poured out uncontrollably. "What's going on, how did it become like this …"
"This is not the place to talk, Madam."
Huai Shi let go of his hand and took a step back. "Come with me."
Lina nodded vigorously, held the corner of his shirt, and followed behind him.
She didn't say anything along the way, and just quietly wiped her tears, not because of fear, but because of the relief after the fear.
Even just looking at his back, she felt a sense of security that she had never felt before.
That's great.
So I'm not the only one who noticed that there was a problem here.
So I'm not the only one facing all of this.
No, he must be here because of this … to save an innocent like me.
There's hope for everything!
Just like that, she followed Huai Shi all the way forward, pushed open the door, passed through the corridor, and walked into the warehouse with familiar ease. She brushed past the puppet, watched him wave to familiar companions, and then pushed open the office door …
Wait, greet?
Her footsteps stopped.
She froze.
"Hmm? Why aren't you walking? "
The smiling man turned around and asked in confusion, "Are you okay?"
In the wash of the waves, the lights flickered, and the shadows on his face were drawn out.
His smile was so strange.
When the sound of footsteps came from all around, and when the ferocious and gloomy puppet appeared at both ends of the corridor …
Lina's heart completely froze.
They were in cahoots!
