“Hehehe…”
"To all the demons and monsters wandering the underworld... Welcome to my ghost ship - the Sea Ghost..."
Accompanied by waves of rough and terrifying hoarse male voices, a skeleton man wearing a pirate hat slowly rose from the stage.
"I am the helmsman of this ship, Ghost Captain Gode!!"
The captain, with a grim face, looked at everyone and opened his hands: "The formal banquet will begin in an hour...
The first thing you need to do is to find comrades who share your destiny...
Those whose names are given the same mark..."
"Same mark?" Kogoro Mouri asked with some confusion after hearing the captain's words.
"It's Tarot, uncle!" Sonoko said with a smile, holding up a deck of cards. "It must be that people who got the same cards are grouped together to play a game. It's a common trick at parties."
"Oh...it's the Goat card with XV written on it..." Maori Kogoro looked at the tarot cards in his hand and said to Sonoko, "So our team is the Goat Team?"
"This is not a goat..."
Medusa, whom I had met before, came over holding the same card and explained with a smile: "XV means 15, and the card is called "THEDEVIL", which means devil..."
Medusa looked around and said with a smile: "And this is not a separate game group..."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Yuanzi asked with interest, "Is there some hidden secret?"
Medusa smiled upon hearing this and replied, "Actually, this party has another purpose, and that is to serve as a film talent show."
"Eh? A talent show?" Sonoko was a little surprised. "You mean you're going to select actors from this group of people?"
"Yes, you should have heard of it, the 'Adventures of the Dead Captain' that releases a sequel every year, that's it..."
"Oh...you mean that ghost movie where a ghost ship pulls a boat full of monsters to punish the bad guys?"
Maori Kogoro had a bored expression on his face, but Sonoko, on the other hand, was quite excited after hearing what the other person said. "Doesn't that mean that if my performance is appreciated, I can also participate in the filming of the movie?"
"Yes, this party is the fourth one held this year..."
Medusa explained: "Not all of these monsters are guests. There are also film crews mixed in with them, scrutinizing each actor."
"No wonder they have to be divided into groups..." Maori Kogoro said with understanding: "Monsters also have popular and unpopular elements. After grouping, we can avoid the unfavorable factors of popular monsters repeating too much..."
"Besides that, everyone is working very hard."
Medusa stretched out her hand and motioned them to look around, and then they saw it.
The werewolf who kept howling at the full moon, Franklin who kept his movements mechanically as if performing a pantomime, and the mummy who remained silent no matter what others said or did...
All kinds of monsters and demons seemed to appear from the movie, behaving in accordance with their "settings".
"Even if they are chosen to act in a movie, at best they are just supporting characters standing next to the protagonist."
Medusa calmly explained the pros and cons: "But even so, this is still a huge makeup expense. If horror movie fans like these do their own makeup, they can save a lot of money.
Not only that, if we use the "ghost ship" used during the filming of the movie to hold a party, we can also create momentum for the film..."
Just as Medusa was explaining the interests behind the party to Kogoro Mouri and Sonoko, the voice of the ghost captain suddenly came from the hall again.
"Everyone! The time to set off has arrived. Let us sail across the seven seas and let those foolish yet arrogant humans taste the fear we monsters bring them!"
"roar!!"
The demons and monsters were all screaming at the top of their lungs, and their voices mixed together to form a huge roar.
Soon the ship set sail, and Kogoro Mouri, Sonoko and Medusa, the three people with the same tarot cards, found the rest of their companions who held the same pattern.
A werewolf, Franklin, and two mummies...
"There are two mummies. Let's call you Mummy One and Mummy Two."
Tang Ze looked at the man in the hat and smiled, "Is everything okay, number two?"
However, the other party shook his finger and denied the address of Mouri Kogoro, then stretched out his hand to shake hands with Sonoko, and after the bandage was removed, it was discovered that there was no hand underneath.
"So it's the invisible man." Kogoro Mouri said suddenly, and the invisible man smiled back.
"So, detective, what should we do next?" Medusa asked with a smile, looking at Kogoro Mouri.
"Well, since this is a game of finding the criminal, there must be clues on the ship."
Maori Kogoro touched his chin and said, "Let's first find out what we each have doubts about on the ship, and then discuss them together.
But don't go too far, I see many people haven't found their companions yet, which might be an advantage."
Because there was no hint, everyone had no objection to what Kogoro Mori said. They gathered together and began to move aimlessly in the cabin.
Above the dark sea, a gloomy ghost ship slowly moved forward, as if sailing in the endless night sky.
The hanging full moon emits a brightness different from usual tonight, casting silver light from the distant sky and illuminating every corner of the world.
