I nodded. As much as I hated Gloria, she was truly amazing! Perhaps her talent in certain areas surpassed even the likes of Su Xiaoniu, Crazy Man, Ghost Sanniang, and the Four Yin-Yang Elders. It was a shame that her jealousy was so strong that she made a huge mistake.
But she finally did a good thing today. She told Ning Xue how to be rescued in the illusion, which enabled Ning Xue to escape safely from the illusion. She also told Ning Xue how to break the illusion. If Bingbing, Xuanxuan and others could be rescued, Gloria would have made an indelible contribution.
Without further ado, I pulled out the logbook. Ever since Gloria and the others disappeared, I'd been carrying it with me. Now, with a flick of the Samadhi Fire, it burned to ash.
We also know the answer to Gloria's final line in her log: "The fish is delicious." Ning Xue had just said, "Never eat fish." Perhaps this fish contains ingredients that induce hallucinations. Almost everyone on this ship had eaten fish, and they all developed hallucinations and disappeared!
Although I still haven't gotten an answer to the question of why nothing happened to me so far, all the other questions have basically been solved one by one.
As the log burned, the ship began to rock slightly, and the fog around it gradually dissipated. From the stern, we heard screams of alarm. We quickly ran to the stern, only to find that Xiao Bingbing, Xuanxuan, Gloria, and Don had all returned safely. Only Guy had been tragically killed by Gloria's loss of control; everyone else had survived.
Seeing Ning Xue, Su Xiaoniu and me, Xiao Bingbing and Xuanxuan ran up excitedly.
"Brother Xu Fei, I'm resurrected again!" Xuanxuan ran towards me, jumping and skipping. She looked so excited, just like the Monkey King in Journey to the West, who had been suppressed for five hundred years. When Tang Monk tore off the Buddha's seal, he jumped into Tang Monk's arms with joy. It was so funny that I couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry.
Xiao Bingbing threw herself directly into Ning Xue's arms and told her what happened in the illusion.
Gloria walked up to Su Xiaoniu with the surviving Don and said with a smile, "I thought we would never meet again in this life, but I didn't expect... Haha. To be honest, I suddenly feel very happy to see you again."
"I hope you can stay in there forever." Su Xiaoniu said in a bad tone.
"Yes, that's how it is for you, right? After all, it was me who hurt you like this. I understand whether you hate me or blame me. However, after this incident, and knowing that you have nothing to do with Ziv, I won't hurt you again." Gloria said as she approached the railing. "I'm not asking for your forgiveness either. Before we get off the boat, you can kill me and cut me up without resistance. After all, you saved my life. But if you don't take action after we get off the boat, I'm leaving."
Su Xiaoniu glanced at her and said indifferently, "I'm afraid of getting my hands dirty if I kill you or cut you into pieces. You... take care of yourself."
"Heh~ You're still the same, Angelia."
"Same here."
…
As they exchanged words, the ship suddenly became noisy and bustling. Strangely dressed individuals began to emerge from the cabin, surprising us. Upon inquiry, we learned they were among the first people to disappear from the ship in 1930. The captain, sailors, and crew were all present. They had sailed from Porto Alegre, Brazil, over eighty years earlier, and they were all astonished. How could such a thing happen? And how had they ended up in China's Yellow River?
Of us, only Gloria, Don, Ning Xue, Xiao Bingbing, and Su Xiaoniu could understand what they were saying. Xuanxuan and I couldn't understand a word. Damn it, are they bullying us because we're less educated? In the end, it was Su Xiaoniu who told me the details.
It seems that during their voyage, they wanted to eat some seafood, so they caught some fish and ate it. After that, the crew members disappeared one after another. Before disappearing, they would write their last words in the log. The last person to write the last words in the log was the captain. This strange thing has been happening since 1930 and it has continued to happen until now...
