Chapter 71 Tokyo Pendulum
December 25, morning, Atlantic Ocean, on a pirate ship.
[The name of the third stage is - The Iceberg Reappears. It will start in half an hour. The pirate ship is about to collapse. Please find a way to return to the Titanic as soon as possible. ]
Asuka Uesugi raised her eyebrows: "Wow, the iceberg reappears, is this going to be a remake of the Titanic sinking incident?"
"Anyway, it's the last round..." Anson Lu put away the chess domain and yawned, "It will start in half an hour. I'm really exhausted."
"You go to sleep first. I'll call you if anything happens." Asuka glanced at him.
"Okay, good night."
"It's time for good morning."
…………
…………
The red dragon spread its wings and brought the boy back to the Titanic. He opened the first-class cabin and fell asleep.
In the hazy state.
Anson Deer had a dream.
This is a horrible dream.
A mad dragon covered with dark white scales dominates the world at night.
Thunder rumbled, and in the heavy rain, the roar of dragons resounded through the sky.
"roar--!!!"
The giant dragon folded its wings and fell to the earth like a meteorite. During this time, violent steam continued to gush out with its body as the center, and heavy rain pushed the steam to all directions.
Wrapped in this burst of hot steam, countless mechanisms of the city began to perform - the crazily spinning carousel, the shrill evacuation broadcasts, the splashing fountains, it was like a crazy symphony.
The bronze statue stands in a park in the city center, standing on a steel-welded pillar. It stretches its fingers upward, directing this grand performance with an upright posture.
“Hula——”
A blood-red moon hung high in the sky, dark clouds surrounded the huge crimson ship, and flocks of crows screamed as they flew through the wind and rain. They passed through the tall towers in the city center, but were still caught up in the frenzy of steam.
Just as the giant dragon was about to fall to the earth and destroy the center of Tokyo into ruins...
“Boom—”
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard in the sky.
Anson Deer stood in the center of the park, staring blankly at the sky. It was a huge sled, pulled by two reindeer with seven-foot-long lightning bolts on their backs, galloping across the sky.
And a young man was standing right on top of the sled.
"Wait, that can't be..." Anson Deer said in a daze.
Gazing from afar, countless strange lights and shadows were lingering around the boy on the sled - golden, crimson, deep black, and dark purple. These lights and shadows floated violently in the air, but always revolved around the boy's body.
The young man growled something, and even the rainstorm stopped.
Soon after, a gigantic pendulum appeared in the sky. This pendulum radiated divine light all over its body. It swung from side to side, making a sound like a mad bell.
“Boom—”
“Boom—”
“Boom—”
In an instant, a surging light like the sea tide spread out from the pendulum and almost covered half of Tokyo.
The next moment, the pendulum, the boy, the sled, and the white dragon falling like a meteorite, all four disappeared from the spot. The rainstorm stopped, the steam that was raging in the city dissipated, and the whole Tokyo returned to peace.
"Have you had enough sleep?"
A harsh sound.
Anson turned his head in a daze, and a red dragon pounced on him, biting him into pieces with its ferocious fangs.
"Fuck!"
Anson Lu woke up from his dream, his back was soaked with cold sweat, his dark brown eyes were slightly trembling, that extremely shocking scene was still circulating in his mind.
“Is it that serious…?” Asuka Uesugi outside the house made a puzzled sound.
It’s a dream…
speechless.
The traces of the dream gradually became blurred in my mind.
Anson Lu lifted the quilt and yawned, "Can you let me have a good rest for a while?"
"Please, do you know how long you have slept?"
"How long?" Anson Deer walked into the bathroom.
"So long that I thought you were dead in there—!"
"Can't you speak human language?" Anson Lu picked up the toothbrush and squeezed the toothpaste.
"You slept directly from the morning of the 25th to the morning of the 26th!"
"Ah, is this true..." Anson Lu squeezed the toothpaste so hard that it burst.
"Yeah, congratulations on missing Christmas."
oh……
December 25th is Christmas...
"Is there going to be any Christmas activities on the ship?" Anson Lu picked up the toothbrush and wiped off some of the remaining toothpaste. "How could you be so wicked that you didn't even wake me up?"
"No."
"Anyway, even if there is, you wouldn't dare to attend it. After all, it's a party hosted by a bunch of ghosts." Anson Deer brushed his teeth.
"roll!"
Anson Lu washed his face with a towel and said, "By the way, hasn't the third part started yet? That's the [Iceberg Reappears] thing?"
"The goal of this segment is..." said Asuka Uesugi, "to find out from the ghosts on the ship the real reason why the Titanic sank in 1912."
"Ah?" Anson Lu put the towel on the rack. "No way, the Titanic sank just because it hit an iceberg. Is there any other real reason?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
"Ask the ghost, who else can you ask?" Anson Lu's tone was as if he was talking to a mentally retarded person.
"You..." Asuka was choked and speechless.
Anson Lu took off his clothes and simply washed his body. He suddenly thought of something and said:
"Wait, just because I slept all day, you didn't dare to ask those ghosts, so you followed them and fished all day, right?"
“…………”
"No way, no way?"
“…How, how is it possible?!”
"That's it. As expected of you, waking me up directly saves time."
After taking a shower, Anson Lu changed into a new hoodie in the luggage space and put the old hoodie away.
The clothes purchased in the system store can be stored in the luggage panel at will, but a set of clothes takes up one grid, so it will be a bit troublesome when there are too many things when you arrive.
Turn the doorknob and open the door.
Asuka Uesugi leaned against the opposite wall, looking up at her pretty little face with a look of disdain, like a penguin ready to bite.
Anson Lu yawned and closed the door. "Let's go investigate. I think there will be a lot of work to do."
"oh."
"Speaking of which, are you going to join the Hell Lighthouse?"
"What is this weird thing?"
"It's my union, and I'm the president," said Anson Lu.
"Huh?" Asuka said, "Wait, you can be the president if you're that poor?"
"Compared to me, the team leader of our union is a man named Urushihara Ritsu." Anson Lu said nonchalantly, "I call him 'Crow'. He basically does all the dirty work, and I just take up a nominal position."
Uesugi Asuka was silent for a moment, then turned her head and asked, "Oh, then why did you invite me?"
"Because..." Anson Deer hesitated for a moment.
"Why?"
Asuka Uesugi hugged her shoulders, glanced at the clear eyes, and raised her eyebrows slightly - her reaction seemed a little expectant, like an elementary school student waiting for the teacher to hand out candy.
“Because…” Anson Lu touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly: “Haha, we only accept weirdos.”
