This is a giant ship, with a total length of more than 600 meters. The hull is an oblong shape and has ten floors in total. The area of each floor is slightly smaller from bottom to top, but the height of each floor is separated by a telescopic door at the front and rear.
The circular deck can double the area on the original basis.
It is worth mentioning that from the fourth floor up, each floor of this boat can rotate and move through the main axis in the center to ensure that each floor can freely enjoy the sun.
In addition, there is a small companion cabin on the left and right sides of the hull for emergency escape.
From a distance, this ship looks like a boiled egg laid horizontally with a skylight open, which perfectly fits the aesthetic pursuit of extreme simplicity under the development of science and technology.
Xu Huo was Ran Ying's companion. When he boarded the ship, the waiter gave him a white bracelet, while Ran Ying got a black one.
"What's the use of this bracelet?"
"It's used to distinguish your identity." Ran Ying said: "You are the companion I brought. There is no formal invitation, so it is a white bracelet."
"All doors in the ship require bracelets to open. The white bracelets just cannot go to the ninth and tenth floors. There is no other difference."
Xu Huo glanced around and found that most of the people who were acting as female companions and male companions on the boat were wearing white bracelets.
As soon as the electronic buckle is closed, a series of numbers will flash on the narrow screen.
"That's the number of the bracelet." Ran Ying explained: "It's used to count people. There are a lot of people coming up. Let's go forward and see the room first."
They are now on the fourth floor, and can go upstairs via any elevator when all floors are closed.
Ran Ying took him to the seventh floor.
"Room 705." Ran Ying opened the door with her bracelet, motioned for him to put the bracelet on the sensor, and authorized it through her own bracelet, "Then you can enter and exit this suite through your bracelet. There are two rooms. You
You can live in a room by yourself if you want.”
At this point, she paused and reached out to hook Xu Huo's collar, "Would you like to take a shower?"
Xu Huo did not reject her move and said with a smile: "Don't you want to go over and say hello when you meet an acquaintance?"
Ran Yingying raised her eyebrows slightly in anger, "You men are really good at appetizing people."
"I'm on the boat, and I won't run away." Xu Huo walked to the bar and poured her a glass of wine, "Have a drink?"
Ran Ying walked over and raised the glass with his hand to finish the wine, then took off her coat and walked to the bathroom, "We'll talk about it when I get back."
Ten minutes later, Ran Ying came out of the bathroom, combed her short hair casually, put on a men's dress and said to Xu Huo: "I'm out. Don't go out and walk around if you have nothing to do. There are players everywhere on the ship. If someone goes out
I might not be able to come back in time to save you."
"Do you have anything to say about this trip?" Xu Huo asked while sitting on the sofa.
"It's just a fixed program." Ran Ying said: "It is held once a year. The upper class gathers together to exchange feelings. It is quite boring, but you have to come. If you feel bored, just eat something and watch a show or music.
meeting."
"You won't appreciate things that are too elegant." Xu Huo paused, "Is there any other way to relax?"
"Playing cards and golf." Ran Ying paused, "You can ask Duke Tarr if he is willing to take you. Use the phone in the room to call the front desk, and they will transfer you."
Before leaving, Ran Ying told her again not to move around until she came back.
Xu Huo agreed verbally, and after contacting Bai Kou using the communication device, he left the room and went to the fifth floor.
The first three floors of this ship are all underwater, and non-staff members are not allowed to move around. The fourth floor is equivalent to the first floor used by guests.
There are restaurants, guest rooms, and places to relax on each floor, but the main entertainment facilities are concentrated on the fifth floor, including theaters, concert halls, casinos, and conference venues. Expensive wine can be found everywhere, and there are twenty dedicated snack chefs.
Refreshments are available at any time for four hours. Every place is well-arranged and decorated. Some places even use props with special effects, such as mirrors to beautify people, potted plants that bloom automatically when someone walks by, and musical instruments that automatically play music.
,etc.
Even the inconspicuous corners are hung with famous paintings by masters.
But what caught Xu Huo's attention was the decorative pattern on the wall, which looked a bit like a kind of water plant. Not only the wall, but also the ceiling and the floor covered with blankets were carved with the same pattern. When he got closer and smelled it, there was a fishy smell of water.
"What pattern is this?" Someone suddenly spoke next to him. It was a man with long blond hair and wearing a robe similar to the black robe of a Christian priest. He was asking the passing waiter.
"It's a kind of seaweed called Sea Devil." The waiter explained with gestures, "If you look at this small piece alone, it looks like an eye, but if you zoom in a little bit, it looks like a strange ghost.
hand."
The blond man made a fist with his right hand, raised his thumb, and placed two points on his chest, and then said: "I often hear people say that it is taboo to place items on the boat that will cause trouble when walking on the sea. Since this kind of seaweed is so unlucky, why do you need to get a tattoo?
Where’s the full ship?”
The waiter maintained good professionalism and said with a smile: "I don't know about this. But in the past ten years, this ship has never had any accidents."
The blond man had a smile on his solemn face, "This is just my humble opinion. If possible, please tell the captain."
"Okay, sir." The waiter leaned forward and left.
At this time, only Xu Huo and the blond man were left in the corridor. He saw the blond man conjuring a book and opening it in a murmur. Of course, it was not a prayer or a blessing, but he took out three palm-long sticks from the book.
Silver nails pierced into the wall in a triangular shape.
Noticing his gaze, the blond man turned around and said with a smile: "Any misfortune has signs before it happens. It seems that I am not the only one who smelled these signs."
Xu Huo raised his eyebrows, "Are you a believer?"
The blond man put away the book and waved his hand, "I can't be called a believer. I haven't gone through any ritual baptism to join a religion. I just follow the footsteps of religion."
"Believe it or not, if you believe in a God in your heart, God exists and you don't need other people's approval," Xu Huo said.
"That's right." The blond man took the initiative to come over and shake hands with him, "My name is Selin, from Area 009."
"Xu Zhi, District 011." Xu Huo introduced himself and asked, "Do you think there is something wrong with these patterns?"
Selin said: "There are props everywhere on this ship. It is not surprising that the decorative patterns come from props or have characteristics, so it is not a problem."
He said, taking a painting from the side and covering the place where the nails were inserted, and then said to Xu Huo, "You must keep this matter a secret."
"Don't worry." Xu Huo smiled and nodded.
Selin clenched his fist and pushed his chest with his thumb, nodded and walked past him.
