Chapter 37: Eternal Day (I) Boarding
The sea breeze, with its salty and slightly sweet, rotten smell that didn't belong to the ocean, blew the strands of hair across Wen Yin's forehead.
She stood at the gangway of the huge "Eternal Daylight" cruise ship, looking up at the exquisite and gorgeous steel behemoth in front of her.
The sunlight shines on the white hull, reflecting an almost dazzling light. The dark blue wave patterns on both sides of the hull look like the scales of some deep-sea monster, shining with an eerie luster under the light.
[Is the girl settled?]
Wen Yin asked 028 in her heart.
[Everything has been settled. When she wakes up, the cruise ship should have already sailed into the deep sea. Host, don't worry.]
028 A familiar child’s voice rang in Wen Yin’s mind.
[That's good. ]
Wen Yin raised her hand to adjust the white top hat that was about to be blown over by the wind, and pushed the brim down to block the overly glaring sunlight. At the same time, she adjusted the half-face mask she had obtained from the girl.
The white mask carved with shells and scales covered the upper half of Wen Yin's face, revealing only her rosy lips and delicate jaw.
"Sir, please show me your invitation."
At the entrance of the cruise ship, a waiter wearing a neat white uniform and snow-white gloves bowed slightly and spoke to a portly man in front of Wen Yin who was still dressed in a suit.
The man also wore a mask, but it was black.
Wen Yin only took a glance and noticed the valuable watch on the man's hand.
The man paused. He was obviously a well-known figure in real life, and he probably had never been asked for an "admission ticket" in public.
For him, his face was his ticket to admission, but now the "ticket" was hidden under the mask. He paused for only a second before obediently taking out an invitation from his suit pocket.
The attendant bowed gracefully, took the gilded invitation, unfolded it, took a look at it, and smiled warmly again.
"Sir, please follow the instructions and get on board. I wish you a pleasant journey."
The man followed the instructions and left. The servant smiled and looked at Wen Yin who was following closely behind him.
Wen Yin's hands were still on the brim of his hat, as if he was particularly dissatisfied with the glaring sunlight.
An off-white fishtail dress outlines her exquisite figure.
She stepped onto the carpeted reception area wearing champagne-colored high heels inlaid with sparkling gemstones. Her skirt fluttered as she walked, and with the small pearl bag on her arm, she looked like a rich lady.
Just like all the other passengers around him preparing to board the ship.
The servant glanced at Wen Yin and bowed forward.
"Ma'am, please show me your invitation."
The attendant spoke respectfully with an impeccable smile on his face.
Wen Yin snorted softly, and finally put down her hand that was still on the brim of her hat. She took out a dark blue gold-stamped card from her bag and casually placed it in the servant's white-gloved palm.
The invitation letter was also obtained from the girl who was replaced. Wen Yin had already looked through it. The personal information of the invitee was not marked on it. It only used the number 11 to represent the name.
There is also the mask worn by Wen Yin, which seems to be extremely considerate in protecting the privacy of those on board.
The wide brim of the hat blocked Wen Yin's vision. She saw the waiter open the invitation letter she handed over, but he stayed there obviously longer than the previous guest.
Several seconds later, just as Wen Yin pretended to be angry, the slender fingers in her sight gently closed, and the dark blue invitation was placed in a box beside her.
"Ma'am, please follow the instructions and get on board. This is your room number."
The attendant's voice was still gentle and polite, but it made Wen Yin feel a chill on the back of her neck. He handed a room card to Wen Yin, leaned slightly sideways, and made a "please" gesture.
"I wish you an unforgettable journey aboard the Eternal Day."
-
The interior of the cruise ship is extremely luxurious.
The crystal chandeliers reflected brilliant light, the mirror-like marble floor reflected the figures of the well-dressed passengers, and melodious classical music flowed slowly in the air.
Everything was in line with her imagination of a top-notch cruise ship, so perfect that it was almost unreal.
Wen Yin's nose twitched, and the strange smell of the sea mixed with sweetness that she had just smelled outside also disappeared without a trace.
The attendant led the way in front, leading Wen Yin through the magnificent hall to the first-class cabin.
[028, Has any other information been collected about this strange incident, or about this cruise ship?]
The cabin corridors were covered with thick carpets, and Wen Yin's high heels made a heavy and muffled sound when they landed on them.
The attendant leading the way in front kept his body slightly sideways, with a professional smile on his face, and the upward curve of his mouth looked like some kind of carefully carved template.
[Host, based on the information I collected about the passengers who boarded this ship, I have obtained a summary.]
028 was flipping through the data in Wen Yin’s mind.
[All the passengers were either wealthy or noble.]
[For example, the original owner of the boarding quota you replaced was the youngest daughter of a wealthy family.]
[The slightly plump man who just boarded the ship before the host is the head of a certain project.]
[There are also many celebrities and stars. Those who can get on the ship are all from prominent backgrounds.]
[As for this ship, the "Eternal Day," it has only been in operation for three years.]
[It is said that every summer, the owner behind the "Eternal Day" organizes a cruise around the world.]
[The passengers who received the invitation were all recommended by old passengers, who brought newcomers into this circle.]
Wen Yin whispered in her heart: [A cruise around the world... sounds very romantic.]
[Host, stop joking...] 028 had become immune to Wen Yin's soft, gentle voice. [On this cruise ship, I sensed a strange power dozens of times more intense than that of the tube building.]
[This is not a romantic thing.]
Wen Yin was still walking forward under the guidance of her attendants. There was nothing unusual on her masked face. She only maintained the image of a truly worldly-wise young lady with an elegant posture.
[Is there any other information, such as whether this cruise ship has had any accidents, etc.?]
[I've already used the information collection tool the host purchased. The "Eternal Daylight" cruise ship's sea records show that it has been smooth sailing since it began sailing, with no accidents.]
[What about the ship owner's information?]
[The owner's information could not be found.]
Wen Yin: [Did any of the passengers who boarded the ship find any mention of the "Eternal Daylight" in their cell phones or emails?]
[No, a blank.] 028 paused. [As if it was only passed down orally, no traceable textual information was left.]
[What about the passengers who boarded the ship in the past three years? What is their current situation?]
[Speaking of this, it’s strange.]
028The children's voices were all tinged with doubt.
[All the passengers returned safely, and no other strange incidents occurred as a result of their time on this 'weird' cruise ship.]
[They are all living well now.]
[Host, perhaps you can get some inside information from other passengers.]
[It's impossible that Weird is just bored and takes this group of people on a cruise on the sea...]
There were closed doors on both sides of the corridor. The servant leading the way was still walking forward with Wen Yin when they met a servant delivering food with a tray.
The other person was also wearing a neat uniform and vest, with a polite smile on his face. When he saw the customer Wen Yin, he took the tray and moved aside, looking like a well-trained waiter.
Wen Yin didn't care too much at first, until she smelled a sweet... smell of blood when she passed by the other party.
Wen Yin stopped, turned around and called out to the waiter who was about to leave.
"etc."
It sounds impolite, with a contemptuous tone that sounds like the superior person looking down on the inferior person and having to speak.
The attendant leading the way and the attendant serving meals were both startled. They both turned around at the same time, one in front and one behind, looking at her from two directions in the corridor.
