"Hypnosis?!"
Eric pushed up his glasses, and his expression became serious. "Vidaly, hypnosis is a very serious matter for a psychiatrist. It's like a surgeon's surgery … No healthy person would ask for surgery for no reason, just like how a mentally healthy person shouldn't ask others to hypnotize them … The ocean of the subconscious is extremely dangerous, and I don't always have the confidence to escape unscathed."
"I'm sorry …" Vidaly said blankly. "I didn't know there were so many taboos …"
"Why don't we talk about something else, like how to tell a person's personality from their favorite color …" Eric changed the topic, and Vidaly giggled again.
'Vidaly is probably just an ordinary person, and Eric is probably in the same profession … But what does that have to do with me?'
Fang Xian complained in his heart, but on the surface, he seemed to be chatting happily.
In the end, Vidaly suggested that the three of them go to the lounge of the entertainment cabin after dinner and play card games to kill time.
Three peaceful days passed in a row.
A breeze blew on the deck, and there were dark clouds in the sky.
"No matter how beautiful the scenery is, you'll get tired of looking at it for three days straight, won't you?" Eric came to Fang Xian's side and looked at the deck that was obviously much emptier. "And … looks like there's going to be a storm."
"Yes, it should be a storm."
Fang Xian looked at the dark clouds, and his spiritual perception was suddenly triggered.
At this moment, the captain's voice came from the ship's loudspeaker.
The general idea was that there was a storm coming, and all passengers should return to their rooms. Try not to go out, and be careful of the turbulence.
"Then … I'll see you at dinner. Vidaly is still saying that she wants to play cards for three."
Eric adjusted his glasses and walked into the cabin.
Fang Xian looked at the sea.
It wasn't an illusion. The blue sea had turned pitch-black, and the waves surged. There seemed to be countless giant beasts swimming in the depths of the sea.
'The abyss?'
He smiled and returned to the cabin.
…
Rumble.
The pitch-black sky and dark clouds were suddenly cut open by lightning. The ear-piercing sound of thunder was like a whistling steel blade, tearing the night into pieces.
Hualala!
The expected storm arrived as scheduled. The black sea churned and set off huge waves.
The originally enormous ocean liner was now like a small boat made of paper, constantly drifting with the waves and being fiddled with by the mischievous child's palm.
It seemed like it was going to topple over in the next moment.
But every time, at the most perilous of times, he would just barely make it through the huge waves without being overturned.
"This damned weather!"
Dudley was a new fur seal. Compared to the older ones, he had only been on the ship for a short period of time, so he had to do all the dirty and dangerous work.
At this moment, he was cursing, wearing a raincoat with a safety rope tied around his waist, walking out of the cabin to patrol.
Under the heavy rain, a raincoat was completely useless. He was soon drenched, and there were several times when he was almost knocked off the boat by the waves. He had no choice but to cling to the steel fence.
Pa!
Suddenly, he heard a voice.
Mixed in with the storm, although it was not very clear, it was indeed the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
It seemed like something had been hit by the huge waves and landed on the deck.
"An unlucky big fish?"
Dudley took a few steps forward and saw a black shadow lying on the deck.
It was not a fish, but a humanoid silhouette in the dark night!
"Damn it, it can't be an unlucky passenger, right?"
Dudley hurriedly went forward, wanting to flip the body over.
His electric lamp was like a pillar of light in the dark night, falling on the silhouette of the black shadow, allowing him to see it clearly …
It was not a living person at all!
Or rather, it was not a human!
The creature opposite him had a human torso and four limbs. Its body was covered in a kind of pitch-black fish scales, emitting a strong fishy smell.
Its head was similar to a human's, but it was covered in scales, and there were gill-like organs on its cheeks.
At this moment, the fishman monster faced the light pillar and suddenly opened its mouth, revealing its incomparably sharp teeth.
"Ah!"
Dudley let out a scream, but it was very soft in the storm.
A black shadow pounced over and bit his neck. A webbed hand cut the safety rope and dragged him into the sea.
The storm continued.
Almost no one realized that a crew member had disappeared in the storm.
…
In the narrow cabin.
Fang Xian suddenly stood up. "The power of darkness … is surging …"
This was something that could only be sensed with super high spiritual sense.
At that moment, the uneasiness in his heart had intensified to the limit, causing Fang Xian to directly wake up from his sleep.
Even the air seemed to be filled with a dangerous aura.
He pressed between his eyebrows and seemed to see the deck outside.
A black shadow pounced over, its mouth full of fangs, and the strong fishy smell of the sea assaulted his nose.
"A foreign creature has boarded the ship?"
Fang Xian muttered.
Without any specific items, this was the most he could do.
In fact, if Lov knew about this, he would probably shout "Damn it".
This was not something that a human spiritualist could do. Those who could do it would be crazy.
Fang Xian did not go out.
In his spiritual sense, the foreign creature had already retreated and jumped into the sea.
Even he could not leave the cruise ship and search for a needle in the vast sea!
He sat up, put on his coat, and carefully thought about his luck.
It seemed that after becoming an investigator, his luck was not very good. He often came into contact with supernatural forces, and all kinds of abnormal creatures took the initiative to come to him.
In this world, they represented danger!
"Although I took the initiative to find most of them, it can't be separated from the attribute of high spiritual sense …"
Fang Xian thought with a sigh and walked out of his cabin.
The shaking passageway did not pose much of a hindrance to him.
The cabins on both sides were very quiet. Obviously, most of the passengers had fallen asleep.
But there were also some who were not asleep and gathered in the entertainment cabin.
The men gathered together and smoked, while the women looked at the glass windows that were constantly being washed by the rain, their faces full of worry.
"Hey, Roca!"
In the corner of the entertainment cabin, Eric, who was playing cards with Vedaly, waved at him.
Fang Xian walked over and asked with a smile, "You can't sleep either?"
"The storm is too strong …"
Vedaly said helplessly.
"I feel that the storm will soon pass …"
Fang Xian looked at the small round glass window, and his expression suddenly became serious. "But I don't know what will be waiting for us next …"
…
His worry came true.
The next day, the storm was calm. Just as Vedaly was yawning and enjoying her breakfast, the captain's heavy voice came from the broadcast, telling everyone an unfortunate news.
The ship was lost …
