Chapter 1395 Thirty-seven. The first strange appearance
Chapter 1395 Thirty-seven. The beginning of strangeness
The burning dusk is the only thing that reminds people that the sun is still there.
Many passengers came to the deck to enjoy the magnificent scene. Young people gathered on the bow deck, close to the side of the ship. There was no ship or earth in their sight, only the sky, the ocean, and their ambitions.
Lu Li's arrival did not disturb any passengers except the crew. Although the ship stopped in the afternoon and rescued a man who fell into the water, it became a topic for many passengers to relieve the boring journey. However, only a few people saw Lu Li's appearance and knew his characteristics.
"Uh... Sir, why didn't you go to the restaurant?"
Not long after Lu Li stood on the deck, the second officer came to the deck after being reminded by the crew.
"I don't know where."
"Please come with me. The chairman, captain and reporters are waiting for you."
The second officer led Lu Li to the upper deck, then stopped in front of the restaurant to straighten his collar, put on white gloves, and pushed open the carved wooden door for Lu Li.
Warmth and bustle pour out from the door, like walking from the wilderness into civilization.
Soothing piano and orchestral music flowed in the gorgeous restaurant. Well-dressed men and women sat at the dining table, eating and chatting elegantly. Adapters holding dinner plates shuttled like butterflies.
Just like what he realized when he was resurrected - the greatest meaning of beauty is that you only know how precious it is when you lose it.
The second officer closed the door from behind and motioned for Lu Li to sit in the empty seat: "Please wait a moment while I go call the chairman for you."
Watching the second mate walking towards the chairman and captain talking to several reporters, a pungent smell of perfume suddenly hit their faces.
A woman with heavy makeup wearing a purple fitted dress sat next to Lu Li.
"Hello, lucky man."
The woman with heavy makeup smiled and toasted to him, showing her strong interest in Lu Li: "How did you fall into the water?"
"Falled off the boat."
"It's so unlucky that you are a farmer?" The woman's eyes fell from her hair to her eyes, suddenly falling into those deep and mysterious black eyes, "I... have never seen eyes like this before."
"no."
"I'm from the Lennon Islands... have you been there?"
"Been there."
"when."
"Twenty-five years later."
The woman with heavy makeup wakes up from a drunken state of mind.
"Are you a poet? Or a writer?"
"The Exorcist."
The smile disappeared from her face, and she deliberately joked: "Are you coming to the farmland to eliminate demons? Or is there a ghost on Kodasirsen..."
"It's much more serious than that."
The woman with heavy makeup gradually relaxed: "How serious is it?"
"This ship will be wrecked."
The body of the woman with heavy makeup becomes stiff.
"...I, I'll excuse you now." She no longer maintained her elegance, left in a hurry, and quickly came to the second officer's side.
Lu Li saw her pointing this way and then pointed at her head.
Then the second deputy came to the chairman's side again.
"Sorry gentlemen, our friend who fell overboard is not feeling well, so our Captain Sparrow will do the interview instead." Chairman Flavichman said kindly, letting the captain deal with the reporters, and whispered to the second officer.
, "Is what she said true?"
"He did say that."
"The Exorcist..."
Chairman Flavichman chewed on this word. The meaning of rescuing an ordinary person and rescuing a madman is very different. The same is true for rescuing an exorcist... Maybe it will be fine on the Allen Peninsula and the desolate land, but
In Lennon Islands, The Exorcist's prejudices are buried deep in the mind.
"He's useless. Throw him into the bottom class cabin. Don't let those reporters see him."
The captain followed the chairman's train of thought and asked, "Should we ask for payment from him?"
"It's not necessary. We just want to show distance and not offend the exorcist."
…
Cramped, crowded, noisy, with a lingering mixed stench.
This was the feeling Lu Li felt around him after entering the cabin on the bottom floor, but there was no alienation and indifference from above.
Lu Li preferred this place to the elegance and etiquette above - as long as he was not disturbed.
The new roommate stood up and spoke to Lu Li enthusiastically: "I'm Ed, the other two roommates are an old couple, this is your bed... I'm going to Belfast, do you know where it is?"
"I lived there."
"Are you familiar with Belfast?" The young man whose mouth has not completely turned into stubble said excitedly: "My Lisa lives in an apartment on Black Gold Street. Do you know where Black Gold Street is?"
As he spoke, he unfolded a crumpled map, and in the lower right corner it was written that it was a bonus from a certain issue of Allen Peninsula magazine.
Lu Li recognized the map as Belfast and pointed to the location of the Black Gold Street.
Aled quickly thanked him and carefully circled the place Lu Li pointed to with a pen.
"Where is your luggage?"
He wanted to express his gratitude to Lu Li, but his luggage was not found.
"I didn't bring it."
"All right."
Aled sat back on his bed and continued writing something on the bedside table.
"Diary, do you want to read it?"
Lu Li suddenly asked as he looked around the cabin.
"You want to show me your diary?"
"Of course." Elide said confidently: "What's the use of the diary if you don't show it to others?"
What he said made sense, and more importantly, Lu Li could indeed know from the diary what had happened on the Immortal Giant in the past few days.
After taking the diary, Lu Li opened the title page:
[I bought this diary. It will record my experiences on the road to pursue you. When I see you, I will give it to you as a gift. 】
First day of sailing
Lisa, you know, I'm so excited... I thought we would never see each other again. But a few days ago, the government people told us that they have opened a new route that can reach Belfast... It's unbelievable.
I spent the 255 shillings I won on a ticket and this diary for the cruise ship's maiden voyage, which would arrive at Lord's Harbor in Belfast in 15 days.
It only takes fifteen days for us to meet again. I...I'm really excited.
The second day of sailing
The boat is very stable, but I am still a little dizzy... I have never been on a boat for such a long time in my life. I know I shouldn't complain in the diary I am sending to you, but I really want to say... First class cabin
The feeling is not very good, it is very small, very messy, very noisy, there are damn thieves and lovers who don't care about the sound at all.
I wrote this paragraph in the stuffy and smelly bottom cabin. Now I need to go to the deck to get some fresh air...
There was no information, so Lu Li returned the diary to Aled. And Aled left the cabin just as the diary said.
A few minutes later, Aled came back in a hurry, lay on the table and continued writing in his diary:
[I'm back. The air on the deck is very good. The sea is no longer the blue it was on the beach. It's very dark and deep, just like...oh, I digress.]
[The sea is very calm, like a mirror. I heard from the crew that this is very unusual. But I think the shipbuilding company will not set sail rashly without exploring the route...]
Lu Li watched the words slowly emerge. He couldn't remember when the Immortal Giant disappeared, but if nothing unexpected happened, it was related to the fog.
