After hearing the hang-up beep, Song Shixin called twice again, and the result was the same as before.
She sat on the carpet, leaning against the edge of the bed, wondering with a dazed look on her face, was it a signal problem, or... was he deliberately not answering the call?
At the same time, she became more suspicious of the cruise ship. Is its destination really the fairy island?
The woman's face kept flashing in her mind. Song Shixin deeply remembered the light that flashed in her eyes when she opened the lid of the trash can.
"Should I save her?" she murmured to herself.
"I should have taken her..."
"Will she die there?"
"Did I kill her?"
She reached out and touched her heart. It hurt, as if she couldn't handle so many complex emotions all at once, so her heart was clutched together.
With a residual feeling of discomfort, Song Shixin stood up and decided to go to that place again alone. If the woman was still alive, she would definitely take her away this time!
But at this moment, the cruise ship staff had basically resumed their normal work, and the first floor was no longer as empty as when she came here before, and she had no chance to go in again.
She bit her lip and walked out. According to the direction they walked on the first floor today, the garbage collection area should be near the stern.
Lunch time had just passed, and Song Shixin guessed that the staff would be cleaning the restaurant and kitchen at this time, so they would have to take out the trash.
That big steel door, I guess, is used to throw garbage into the sea... Maybe there's a chance I can sneak in through that door?
Most people were at the bow enjoying the sea view, drinking champagne, chatting with each other, and enjoying the sea breeze. It was a rare place where the crew members rarely visited.
She took advantage of the opportunity when the staff was called away to quickly run to the stern, and was lucky not to be noticed, or perhaps the beige dress she was wearing was particularly inconspicuous among the crowd of people dressed in complicated clothes.
The end of the stern was blocked by a railing, and Song Shixin could not move forward. She could only lean on the railing to look to the side. Sure enough, there was a large rectangular steel door, like the iron butt of the cruise ship.
The place was found, but how to get there?
She moved to the innermost part of the railing and tried to lean out.
No, unless you use tools, it is impossible to jump over like this. After all, this is not a game.
After a shaky start and a failed attempt, Song Shixin grabbed the railing, feeling a little helpless.
The sun shone gently, and Song Shixin saw his own shadow and the cruise ship's shadow falling on the sea.
Looking at the shadow in the water, she didn't know if it was the waves that blurred her eyes, but for a moment she seemed to see something rushing into the bottom of the boat?
But when she looked closely, there was nothing.
"Madam, why are you here alone and sad?" A voice suddenly came from behind. Song Shixin's whole body froze. He gritted his teeth and slowly turned around.
call……
Fortunately, it wasn't a staff member, but a young man with brown curly hair and green eyes.
He was wearing a black tuxedo and holding two glasses of champagne in his hands. He handed one of them to Song Shixin.
"Thank you." Song Shixin took the champagne but didn't drink it. She just smiled politely and answered his question: "I'm looking at the reflection of the boat."
It's not really a lie.
"Reflection?" Her answer seemed to attract the man's interest. He also walked to the railing and saw his reflection appear on the sea.
"This is truly art." He exclaimed, raising the champagne in his hand towards his reflection, "Cheers!"
“…” Song Shixin wanted to leave. She felt that she might not like art very much.
But wanting to leave is one thing, being able to leave is another.
This outgoing man seemed to be attached to her. He followed her all the way back and introduced himself. He said his name was Richard and he was a jeweler and also an artist.
Song Shixin listened to his rambling, her forehead throbbing, until Richard said, "But I'm not really interested in any fairy islands. I boarded this ship because of the sea legends."
Sea legend?
Song Shixin finally looked at him: "What legend?"
"Oh my God! Haven't you heard of it?!" Richard looked at her in disbelief. "I thought an artistic girl like you would come here for this too!"
"I just come here to relax." Song Shixin said calmly.
"Then let me explain it to you." Richard drank the champagne in the glass, and before they knew it, they had reached the middle of the ship.
"Do you know the name of this ship?"
Of course Song Shixin knew this, so she nodded.
"Legend has it that the Siren was last seen in the Serpent Strait." Richard placed his hands on the railing. "And the Siren's route to the Fairy Island passes through the Serpent Strait. It's also the only ship that passes through the Serpent Strait."
"You want to find the Siren?" Song Shixin widened his eyes slightly, but that was just a legend...
"I've seen him before." As if knowing she didn't believe him, Richard turned his head and looked directly at Song Shixin: "When I was very young."
"Was the Siren already there at that time?" Song Shixin asked.
"No, it's my father," Richard said. "My father is an adventurer. He's passionate about exploring the world. It was very rare for me to meet him when I was young."
