The Immortal Titan stranded on the beach looks like a giant whale.
Especially standing at its feet, you can feel even more insignificant and lonely.
The beach was littered with traces of luggage and rescue efforts. The hemp rope tied to the side of the ship and hanging into the shoal was the only way for Lu Li to return to the deck.
After picking up the hemp rope floating in the waves, Lu Li and Kate standing on the shoal said, "You can't get up."
"Help me."
"I can't do it."
Lu Li had not rested in the two days since he left the Immortal Giant and returned.
"Then I'll crawl by myself."
Lu Li stopped talking to the stubborn Kate, grabbed the hemp rope, climbed with his hands and fixed it with his feet, slowly climbed to the top, turned over the side of the ship, and hit the deck without any force.
The deck splattered with dried blood was silent, and the waves crashing against the dull transmission deck of the ship's hull vibrated into the mind, turning into the wail of the dead...
Lu Li, who had fallen asleep from exhaustion at some point while lying on the deck, woke up and climbed up by holding on to the deck.
The hemp rope was stretched straight, and Kate only climbed a third of the way, holding on to the rope weakly.
Lu Li's arms were weak and he couldn't help. He temporarily left the side of the ship and stepped onto the upper deck.
If the clue is on the big ship, the first-class passengers' suites are a suspicious location.
Nobles and wealthy people like to bring strange objects and ancient antiques with them, and they usually have something in common with the weird.
Ignoring the dark brown stain on the carpet, Lu Li opened the door that was ajar, stepped over the scattered pantyhose, shillings, gold coins and pipes, and looked at things that were not originally part of the suite.
There were no clues in the first room. Surprisingly, the drawer was opened to reveal a flintlock gun and several bullets, which did not look like Kate's.
Lu Li picked up the flintlock gun and bullets and headed to the second room, then the third, then the fourth, until the last room.
There were a lot of antiques and a lot of rare things, but there were none that Lu Li was looking for.
This won't work.
Because even if he encounters clues, it would be difficult for Lu Li, an ordinary person, to detect their existence and ignore them.
At this time, Lu Li held the flintlock gun and looked out the door.
The dull sound of footsteps echoed from the corridor from far to near.
Kate appeared outside the door barefoot, clutching the hem of her wet skirt.
Kate showed up at the perfect time.
Lu Li asked her: "Have they ever behaved strangely and strangely when in contact with aristocratic businessmen?"
Kate's eyes frequently fell on the bed: "What kind?"
"It's like being controlled. It's different from usual, and the personality and identity don't match."
Kate recalled the passengers she came into contact with and remembered the female companion of a first-class passenger. During the last supper, she showed obvious abnormalities, such as being unsteady and uttering strange babbles.
It sounds like someone is being controlled or possessed by something strange.
Lu Li asked Kate to lead him to his cabin. After passing the blood-stained corridor, he pushed open the broken wooden door.
Scattered stockings, wet marks on the bedside, discarded underwear, pink and purple built-in toys and strings...
What Kate saw that night was just some kind of interest.
"Are there no clues here?"
After getting Lu Li's confirmation, Kate asked him to go out. She opened the closet, changed into a loose dress and shoes that were easy to move around, and then headed to the next location where there might be clues, the cargo hold.
There was silence on the Immortal Giant, and those who could be saved had been brought back to Bay Town by the townspeople. Only they and...the victims who were stranded to death were left.
He raised the oil lamp and the faint light shone for several meters. Many shadows were dormant deep in the cargo hold.
Lu Li and Kate were walking in the cargo hold where something strange might be hidden. The shadows changed as they moved, and a mixture of new and woody smells entered their noses.
Trying to find a specific unknown thing in a cargo hold full of cargo is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Lu Li didn't have much time to waste.
Tens of minutes later, Lu Li suddenly searched with a clear goal and quickly found what he wanted - a barrel of kerosene.
"...You want to burn this place down?"
Kate took the oil lamp and watched Lu Li unscrew the oil drum and pour brown kerosene onto the flammable wooden box and car.
"If it were on a boat, the flames would have brought it to the surface."
Based on a mentality of destruction giving birth to new life, Kate quickly accepted Lu Li's desire to burn the Immortal Titan to the ground.
If the analysis is correct, Lu Li will get the answer. If the analysis is wrong, he will get a boat on fire.
Throwing away the empty kerosene barrel, Lu Li took back the oil lamp, opened the lampshade, and put the weak flame close to the wooden box soaked in kerosene.
The orange-yellow flames gradually spread, tracing the traces of the splash upstream, revealing the outline of the entire cargo hold.
Lu Li and Kate stood at the entrance of the cargo hold, their faces illuminated by the blazing fire.
Just when the flames were about to engulf the cargo hold irreversibly, the cheerful flames came to a standstill.
A long sigh slowly sounded in the silence of all things:
"Why do you destroy the tranquility that people long for..."
Lu Li, who was waiting for this moment, was not surprised by the voice. His eyes swept over the firelight fixed on Kate's cheek, who was still. "Does tranquility mean that there are only two thousand people on the ship left?"
"On land, countless people live carefree lives..."
"Are they truly alive?"
The sound fell into the same stagnation as the flames.
"Who are you?" Lu Li broke the silence.
"You call the Land of Hope...Thorahim...Plowing Garden..."
Lu Li was only half right: he believed that the being behind the scenes that made everything happen was on the Immortal Giant.
But the entire farmland garden.
Just as Lu Li witnessed the death of the Lennon Islands, now it is the turn of the Farmland Garden.
"Why did you bring me here at this time?"
"Because it's only safe during this time..."
"Please send me away."
"Why? Isn't it good here?" The consciousness was filled with surprise.
"How long has reality passed?"
"Three days..."
"I have no need to stay here."
The equal proportion of time means that Lu Li has wasted three days, and the false beauty is no better than the cruel truth, "I want to go to Heim to find the spiritual sculpture. This is the only chance to save the desolate land and even the world."
The best case scenario is that the swamp is annihilated by an unspeakable being as it spreads across Midnight City.
The worst-case scenario is that the swamp swallows up the world.
The consciousness calling itself Cultivated Garden agreed to Lu Li, but it had to prove that Lu Li could survive in the real Cultivated Garden - it would send Lu Li to the disaster that would happen a few days from now.
"Where's Andrea?" Lu Li asked.
"That ship? It hid after you came in..."
After confirming that Andrea was safe and sound, Lu Li allowed the farmland to transport him into a new dreamland.
This is the territory of Cultivated Garden, and the cursed title given by the world is useless in front of the "world" itself. Lu Li has no other choice but to accept it.
The sound of waves rang in his ears, and Lu Li opened his eyes.
The acrid smoke, the swaying under your feet, the surging tide, burning, blood and death...
What appeared in front of me was the Immortal Titan after suffering a devastating disaster.
It was like a repeat of his experience in Belfast - everything was irreversibly falling into the abyss.
