After the storm, the harbor was always exceptionally clean. It was as if all the dust and darkness floating around the city had been blown away. The blue sky was exceptionally blue, and the sea was exceptionally green.
Pear Sea City Yacht Harbor. A group of women in distinctive blue and white sailor uniforms were standing in a row. Their figures and curves were stunning, and their tight outfits made them look extremely alluring.
A white, luxurious cruise ship was docked at the harbor. Apart from the well-trained receptionist at the boarding gate, there was also a group of magicians in dark blue uniforms standing on the deck. These magicians stood on the deck like poles. Their expressions were cold and solemn, and their auras were awe-inspiring. They gave off a feeling of incomparable power.
Many men and women in glamorous outfits were boarding the ship on the stairs. Most of the men had their eyes fixed on the receptionist, but the women had disdainful looks. They thought highly of themselves, but they would occasionally sneak a few glances at the masculine, handsome Mages on the deck without anyone noticing.
Mages were a lot more outstanding than people who did not practice magic, both in terms of physique and temperament. It was not rare to hear news about rich women supporting Mages, and the tourists on the cruise ship were not rare either. The men and women who were holding hands and boarding the ship were not necessarily fixed partners. Once the ship entered the vast, unrestricted ocean, they might even fight on their own and hunt for beauties. There were at least one thousand and three hundred people on the cruise ship. There was bound to be someone, and even if there wasn't, the organizer would still provide them with the best service …
"Mister, are you alone?" a person in a white uniform asked.
"Mister?" A short-haired woman took off her sunglasses. Her cloudy eyes glanced at the tall, masculine manager of the cruise ship.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Are you alone, beautiful lady?" The male cruise manager corrected himself.
"Yes, for now, this is my ticket," the short-haired woman said.
"Your room is Room 1316 on the Supreme Deluxe Floor. A waiter will take you there. If you don't mind me asking, you have an extra large piece of luggage that we need to check in. Although we have a rule that forbids us from checking the luggage of our distinguished guests, we still need you to cooperate with us and tell us what's inside the extra large piece of luggage, "said the manager.
"You're only asking after we've boarded the ship. You're really slow," the short-haired woman said.
"How about this? I'll show you the way. You can tell me as much as you can along the way. Even if it's inconvenient for you to tell me something, I'll still give you permission," the manager said.
"Sure."
The short-haired lady stepped onto the cruise ship with elegant cat-like steps in her stilettos. She naturally handed over a small ginger luggage bag to the male manager.
The cruise ship was managed like a hotel, and the male manager's position was probably not low. After instructing the other attendants to continue to welcome the guests, he followed the short-haired lady to the supreme level.
"Let me give you a brief introduction. There's a huge banquet hall on the deck. It's used for banquets. The banquet will be held tonight. Please wear an evening gown. I believe countless men will be attracted to you. The seventh floor has a bar, a restaurant, a gym, a KTV, and a theater. The ninth floor has … "the manager explained calmly.
"I'm not really interested in those. Is that my room ahead?" the short-haired woman asked.
"Yes, before you enter your room, can you answer my question about the extra large piece of luggage? The result of our security scan isn't very reassuring," the manager said.
"We can talk inside. Whenever someone asks about my occupation, they are always willing to listen, regardless of whether they're interested in me or not. I'm afraid it'll take some time, if you're not busy," the short-haired woman said.
"I'm a little busy, but I can always find a way to let someone else do it. However, I'm still working, so I only have half an hour at most," the manager said with a smile.
"Oh, oh, half an hour … that's not short at all!" the short-haired woman said meaningfully. She then closed the door behind her.
…
After entering the room, the male manager took off his hat, revealing a very delicate and handsome face.
"Can we talk now?" the manager asked.
"Of course, I like this kind of straightforwardness." As she spoke, the short-haired woman put her hands behind her neck and untied the knot of her dress.
"Oh, I think you've misunderstood. What I meant was, can you tell me about your extra large piece of luggage now? It's just a routine. About that … I think we can arrange for a more convenient time. Half an hour is indeed too short," the manager said.
"I almost forgot. Actually, my job is a little special. You might be scared away if you hear about it, "the short-haired woman said.
"I'm not that ignorant," the manager said.
"There's a corpse in my extra large piece of luggage." The short-haired woman poured herself a glass of water and took a sip. She then looked up at the manager to see his reaction.
"A … a corpse?" The manager obviously did not think of it. His face was filled with astonishment.
"Do you want to hear more?" the short-haired woman asked.
"Of … of course, I don't think we're allowed to bring something like that on our ship," the manager said.
As a matter of fact, they had already taken a look at the thing inside the sealed long box during the security check. It was indeed in the shape of a person, which was why they had sent him to ask about it.
"Don't worry, I'm not a murderer. I'm a specimen collector. My specimens are mainly human beings. I have a legal research certificate in the international community. I've been looking for perfectly preserved corpses all over the world. I've sealed them with some advanced methods of preservation or freezing, and stored them in the silver box that you can't open … oh, you can also call it a coffin, but we call it a preservation box. If you know anything about medicine, you'll know how rare a perfectly preserved corpse is. The specimen I have is perfect. It's the best we've collected over the years. I think I'll be able to make great progress in my research. I'm in a good mood, which is why I'm taking your ship back to Japan, "the short-haired woman said calmly.
