The Queen of the Islands Line's Ashurie is truly a giant.
The 213-meter hull allows it to calmly sail through storms and sail to deserted lands and the Lennon Islands. It carries 2,200 crew members and passengers, including a team of specially hired exorcists to protect the safety of the passengers.
The sense of security it brings to people in the vast light gray sea is indescribable.
There are still many passengers staying on the deck. Some are sad to leave their hometown, some are looking forward to a new beginning on the other side, and some are looking forward to the Arthurian's smooth arrival at the Lennon Islands.
The waves and noise on the deck were separated from the surroundings as Lu Li walked into the cabin. Most of the cabin doors in the corridor were open, and the sounds of conversations or luggage being moved could be heard.
Sidestepping around the passengers who were pushing their luggage into the cabin, Lu Li took the ticket and walked to the middle of the cabin.
In front of the door of his cabin, a girl wearing a cloak like a believer and holding a few unusually generous books was talking to a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man left with joy and passed by Lu Li. The girl pushed him
Open cabin wooden door.
Cabin specifications on cruise ships are not uniform.
For example, the Avitannis that carried Mary Poppins Jojo away was only divided into three cabins: first class, second class, and last class.
The Arthurian was the same as the Raistlin he had taken before: first class, first class, second class, and last class.
The second-class cabin is slightly worse than the former second-class cabin, with no separate rooms. It is slightly better than the first-class cabin, with only two people in a cabin.
When Lu Li pushed open the wooden door of the cabin, the girl in the cloak was putting down her books with her back to the cabin door.
The girl in the cloak heard the sound of the wooden door being pushed open. Her long brown hair swayed, her eyes paused on Lu Li's face for a moment, and she extended her palm generously: "Hello, my name is Emin Grolin."
"Lu Li."
Lu Li gently held the other person's hand. The soft palm of the cloaked girl trembled slightly, as if she was not used to being touched.
"The Three-Eyed Raven emblem? And one of the eyes is filled in!"
Lu Li thought the exchange was over, but Emin Grolin, who noticed the badge on his chest, shouted in surprise: "Are you a senior investigator?"
"Um."
Most people can’t recognize the badge, let alone call it by name and know what the filled eyeballs mean: “Are you an exorcist?”
“Not yet, but soon!”
The girl in the cloak puffed up her chest proudly, letting Lu Li see a seal pinned to the cloak - it wasn't called a badge because it only had a rose background and no logo engraved on it.
"I'm a trainee exorcist."
"Apprenticeship?"
"you do not know?"
Emin Grolin looked at Lu Li with a scrutinizing gaze, seeming to doubt the authenticity of the badge.
"I spent the past two days on the boat." Lu Li replied. Before this, his information was not blocked, so it was impossible not to know.
"No wonder...it was only announced yesterday afternoon."
Emin Grolin suddenly sat down on the bed, seemingly not noticing that he was sitting on the bed that belonged to Lu Li: "The joint exorcist organization composed of investigators, night watchmen, and exorcist associations has officially changed its name to exorcists. No.
Then break down the responsibilities...just wait."
Thinking of something, the girl on the bed jumped up, opened the suitcase and took out the folded newspaper. It actually contained some vegetables and fruits.
"Here, this morning's newspaper."
Lu Li took over the "Daily News", and the first page of news was about the change of the Exorcist United Organization.
The three major organizations will be merged into the Exorcist. The system will be changed and new badges will be used. The system will follow the Exorcist Association and be divided into four levels: Exorcist, Exorcist, Demon Hunter, and Legendary Demon Hunter.
Obviously, the main culprit for the fusion of the three major organizations is the worsening situation and the serious losses in the number of exorcists who cannot support the framework...
Apprentice exorcists are substitutes who are not yet qualified to become exorcists. They are usually promoted to exorcists after systematically learning some weird knowledge and personally participating in one or several weird events.
Emin Grolin is one of them. She has passed the assessment of the weird knowledge part, and the next step is the practical part: participating in a weird event.
Strange things have been happening in Luosha Town in the deserted land recently. People keep disappearing but the local residents keep silent about it. Instead of choosing the local weird events prepared by her family for her, Emin Grolin focused on the Luosha Town incident and secretly
Run out and take the Ashuri.
Coincidentally, Emin Grolin would disembark at Qiaotou Port, which was also Lu Li's destination. What was even more coincidental was that Luosha Town was only about twenty miles away from Qiaotou Port.
Lu Li hoped that Emin Grolin could elaborate on the strange things in Luoye Town, which might have something to do with Aunt Mary. But she also didn't know much.
"Mr. Lu Li, did you go to Qiaotou Port to investigate Luoye Town?" Emin Grolin asked curiously.
"No, but it might be related."
"Great, we can go together!"
Because of Lu Li's identity, Emin Grohling, who had just emerged from the ivory tower, was very close to him and was not even wary of being in the same room with a stranger. She bluntly said that Lu Li had an aura that made her feel comfortable, just like someone who stayed in a bright weather.
Under the shade of trees.
This is obviously a characteristic of human nature: few people have a bad feeling for Lu Li, and it is difficult to doubt what he said.
Lu Li looked through the thick books that Emin Grolin brought, which were about Materia Medica, Oddities and Geography.
Weirdology is mostly general knowledge that is superficial and will not cause a decrease in sanity. Only a dozen pages at the end warn the reader that the following content will cause a decrease in sanity and produce hallucinations, and then record the information of more than a dozen common evil spirits.
ceremony.
What is interesting is that some evil spirits have pictures, such as the uninvited guest, the shadow of the fire thief, the suffering crowd, and the headless spirit, which are evil spirits that have entities and have been witnessed.
The uninvited guests, the Suffering Crowd, are the same as what Lu Li saw. The Suffering Crowd is a bloated mass, like an enlarged, distorted potato, with eyes covered on its surface. The headless spirits are dressed together in the pencil drawing.
The figure of a woman in a dirty long dress has her head wrapped in a cloth bag and tied around her neck.
Although they have entities, they are not the true bodies of evil spirits, but more like some kind of projection, unable to cause actual harm.
Only the suffering people are suspected of being true, but all damage done to it will be useless and bounce back to itself. However, its own harm is very small, as long as you don't hurt it, you will not be harmed.
If you can ignore the reduction in sanity and the fear and nausea it brings.
It gradually darkened outside the porthole, and the lights in the cabin turned on. Emin Grolin followed the crew member's reminder and lit the oil lamp and placed it on the bedside table.
However, you must turn off the oil lamp after leaving the cabin. If you are discovered by the patrolling crew, you will be stripped of your passenger status and thrown into the next docking place.
As night fell, Lu Li pulled up the curtains to cover the portholes, and went to the second- and first-class restaurants with Emin Grolin to eat.
