Chapter 393 Exhibition
Conquer the sea, the Shining Pearl.
In the early morning, there was a light mist spreading over the sea. In this thin sea mist, the huge cruise ship was still sailing on the sea that cut through the waves.
After a night's rest, the passengers of the Shining Pearl came out of their cabins after washing up and went to the luxurious restaurant for breakfast. During this time, they gathered in twos and threes to discuss a strange thing that happened early this morning.
"Have you heard? Someone wants to steal Deep Blue's heart."
"Deep blue heart? Isn't that the gem that Mr. Massimo will show tonight? How do you know someone wants to steal it?"
"It's a notice... Early this morning, notices written in Ivig were found in many places on the ship, including here. A guy named Thief K announced that he would come to steal Deep Blue Heart."
"Notice? Are you kidding me? How can you steal something without giving a notice? Isn't this just to warn people in advance? This must be a prank."
"Yeah... I think so too. I don't know who did this. Maybe they think the boat is too boring, so why don't we all have some fun?"
"Maybe. It's good to provide everyone with some fun."
…
In the spacious restaurant, countless brightly dressed passengers were holding their plates and gathered together, eating breakfast and talking about the strange things that happened earlier. Strange notices were found all over the cruise ship in the morning, and many tourists read the contents. They were discussing the co-signer of the notice, Thief K.
The passengers on the ship had different reactions to the thief who had to inform the thief in advance before stealing. Some felt surprised, some felt funny, some felt it was absurd, and some felt bored.
Although the reactions were mixed, almost all passengers did not take the warning letters seriously. They all regarded it as a prank or a performance art. They still regarded the thief K as a joke to enrich their social topics.
In a corner of the restaurant, Captain Costa of the Glittering Pearl and the jewelry collector Massimo stood together, looking at the lively discussion in front of them, with a hint of wonder in their brows.
"What do you think about this so-called thief K?" Costa said with his hands behind his back, looking at Massimo beside him. After hearing this, Massimo snorted coldly and spoke with disdain.
"What else can you say? Just a clown who wanted to attract attention and chose a ridiculous method."
Massimo said this, his words full of disdain for the thief K. No matter what the truth about the thief K was, the warning letters that appeared on the cruise ship were a contemptuous provocation to him, so he looked down on them himself.
In Massimo's opinion, this so-called thief K was just doing weird things to attract attention. Not to mention being a Beyonder, he was probably not a respectable person with status in the mortal world. He had seen similar people like him before, and in his opinion, this kind of people were similar to clowns in the circus.
"Well... indeed, stealing something and sending a warning... is a behavior that is hard to understand no matter how hard you try. This is most likely a prank, but we must not take it lightly. This thief K was able to spread this warning letter all over the ship without being discovered. He is quite capable."
Costa said this while holding a notice in his hand. In his opinion, although the thief K was probably just playing a prank, he did have some skills.
"It's just a little bit... How dare he challenge me like this? If I knew who he was, I would put him on my dining table before he was eaten by Hemohois."
Massimo said so. For them, it was not impossible to find the prankster clown, but it would consume precious extraordinary resources. Compared to "activating" the storage... Although Massimo was not disgusted by this obvious prank, he did not spend more resources and energy to find the clown.
It was just a prankster clown. In the end, they would all die at the mouth of the Mohos Sea anyway, so there was no need to worry too much about it. Massimo just felt a little regretful that he, Costa and other crew members had to evacuate before reaching the final blood sacrifice sea, and were unable to witness the scene of the entire ship, including the clown, being swallowed up.
"Although it's not a prank, just in case, you should always pay attention to Deep Blue's heart situation."
Costa, holding the notice letter, continued to talk to Massimo, while the other party waved his hand and spoke casually.
"Don't worry, I just checked the condition of Deep Blue Heart, and it's still there. We will keep an eye on it all the time, there's no problem."
As they talked, Massimo and Costa walked out of the restaurant and onto the front deck. They looked at the angel statue covered with a cloth at the bow. In front of the angel statue was the endless sea, and behind it were layers of sailors standing guard.
"Besides, we don't just have ordinary eyes that can see the deep blue heart, right?"
Massimo continued to mutter, although the two of them could not see the deep blue heart covered by the cloth, but with the unique spiritual perception of the extraordinary people of the Chalcedon stage "Cup", they could still sense that the deep blue heart was under the cloth, in the hands of the angel statue.
With these spiritual eyes, the deep blue heart cannot be stolen from under their noses.
…
Time passed slowly, and almost a morning had passed. At noon, the Massimo jewelry exhibition began to be officially arranged. In the restaurant and ballroom in the cabin, many small booths were set up, and many precious and beautiful jewels were displayed on them.
Massimo's jewelry attracted almost all the passengers on the ship to visit. For a moment, the cabin used as an exhibition hall became very crowded. The ladies gathered around the small exhibition stands of precious jewelry and exclaimed in amazement. Everyone was marveling at the treasures collected by Massimo.
Massimo announced in his promotional speech on site that today's jewelry exhibition was just the appetizer. The main course would be the exhibition in the heart of deep blue, which would be held on the foredeck in the evening. All the passengers who heard Massimo's words became extremely excited. At the same time, rumors about the thief K were spreading more and more widely among the passengers on the ship, and some of them began to look forward to what would happen tonight.
After following her classmates and teachers to see the jewelry exhibition on Sunday, Nephnis said goodbye to them and went on her own. Then she started to return to her cabin. When passing through a corridor, she saw a familiar figure.
"Miss Dorothy..."
Seeing the long-haired girl in front of her in a little winter dress, Nephnis spoke in surprise, while Dorothy walked to her side with a smile and whispered.
"I've already greeted the chief shaman for you. You can go back to the room and then we'll hold the ceremony. Do you think your offerings are sufficient?"
"Well... it should be enough... But, Miss Dorothy, if you ask me to do that kind of thing... I, I have no problem with it, right?"
Looking at Dorothy beside her, Nephnesse spoke in a panic, while Dorothy patted her on the shoulder to comfort her and spoke.
"Don't worry, as long as everything goes according to my plan, there will be no problem. Wasn't your grandfather also a great thief? You have to believe in your talent in this area."
"My grandfather is not a thief...but I have never stolen anything. Besides, my grandfather only stole things from dead people, which is completely different from what I am going to do now..."
Nefernis continued to speak uneasily, while Dorothy spoke seriously.
"Believe in yourself... Senior Neveu, you should know that the lives of everyone on the ship are in our hands now. In order for everyone to reach their destination safely, we must go no matter what. I will do my best to support you, so don't worry."
"Well... huh... come on... I'll do my best..."
Listening to Dorothy's words, Nephnis swallowed and calmed down her inner thoughts. Indeed, if what Dorothy said last night was true, then everyone on the ship was in danger of their lives, and she had to go on board.
"Now, go and prepare seriously. You can rest later because the show is in the evening."
Dorothy finally spoke to Nefernis and walked past her. Nefernis took a deep breath and continued walking forward.
