For Fanna, what happened in the past two days always seemed to have an unreal filter. Her life had undergone earth-shaking changes. The changes were so big that it seemed like an absurd dream, so that she often doubted
Was she already trapped in an illusion without realizing it? At this moment, her self-doubt finally reached its peak.
She actually saw Mr. Morris standing in front of her with a smile on his face.
The young judge suddenly closed his eyes and knocked his forehead hard. When he opened his eyes again, he found that Morris was still there - there was a tall figure beside the old gentleman.
It was the ghost captain with a gloomy and majestic expression.
"Welcome aboard, Vanna," Morris began, "I know you have a lot of questions..."
Fanna opened her mouth, but before she was about to say something, she suddenly heard a "bang" coming from beside her. She didn't feel the slightest threat from the sound, but she was still startled.
Subconsciously, I turned around and saw a large ball of colorful paper and ribbons coming towards me - a beautiful lady with long silver-white hair reaching her waist was looking at this side blankly, with the paper tube still in her hand.
There is a little smoke from burning gunpowder.
Fanna: "...?"
Before she could react, she saw the silver-haired lady excitedly taking the second paper tube from the side, playing with it in front of her, lifting it up and pulling the string on the paper tube.
When Fanna saw this, she quickly reminded: "Ah! You took it the wrong way..."
Her reminder came too late.
The trace amount of gunpowder pre-installed in the paper tube exploded, and the silver-haired woman was directly covered in ribbons and confetti sprayed out from the tube. She subconsciously leaned back suddenly, and then heard a strange "Boer"
With a sound, a head rolled down to the deck under Vanna's gaze.
Vanna's eyes widened in an instant, and she almost jumped up due to her determination. Then, she heard an exclamation coming from behind: "Ah! Uncle Duncan! Alice's head is back again."
Lost!"
The next second, a girl who looked like a high school student rushed over from the side, hurriedly chasing the head that was rolling on the deck, and then another girl holding a black giant dog ran from the other direction.
He came out and helped to catch up while shouting: "I told you that it would be unreliable for her to hold it!"
"You don't dare to hold it!"
"Then we can't let Alice do it alone...ah, her head fell under the stairs!"
"Hook, wherever there is a hook... you can just find a stick..."
"I found the rope, throw it down... Miss Alice, bite it yourself, and I will pull you up!"
The deck instantly became very lively, with two girls jumping up and down chasing a head that was rolling around, while the silver-haired woman who had lost her head was walking around helplessly. Mr. Morris, who was mid-sentence just now, was covering his head.
I kept sighing, and the special smell left after the ribbon tube was launched was still in the air.
Fanna was in a state of confusion that was rare in her life. She stared at the scene of people jumping on the deck, with several colorful paper ribbons hanging on her hair and shoulders. She seemed to vaguely understand what had just happened.
, but I feel that I am not as good as not understanding.
It was a welcome ceremony - unless it happened on the Lost Home, it would be a very happy scene.
"Look, I told you, I have a very troublesome crew," the gloomy and majestic Captain Duncan finally spoke, and his voice finally woke Vanna out of her daze, "There are always people on this ship.
It's such a mess - but from another perspective, your life here shouldn't be boring."
Fanna's face was expressionless - even though there seemed to be ten thousand complicated thoughts roaring and exploding deep in her heart, she really didn't know what kind of reaction she should have on her face.
She raised her head and looked at the scene on the deck. She saw that Nina and Shirley had "fished" the head out of the gap in the stairs and were hurriedly "returning it to its original place". A plump pigeon
Then she flew over from nowhere and yelled incomprehensible sentences like "Little Hammer Forty, Little Hammer Forty". She finally recognized the appearance of the silver-haired woman and remembered where she was.
I have seen such a face before.
It's in an antique shop in Xiacheng District.
At that time, the other person had blond hair—thinking about it now, it must have been a disguise.
She looked at Shirley, at Nina, and then at Mr. Morris, who was spreading his hands helplessly at her, and finally understood everything.
The whole world has quietly changed a long time ago, she just didn't know it until now.
"How many more 'secrets' are there?" Vanna's mouth finally trembled and she regained her ability to speak. She looked at Maurice. This respected scholar was an elder she had known since she was a child. He appeared on this ghost ship.
It was the most unbelievable scene for her today. However, at this moment, this elder was the only person she could think of asking, "When did you..."
"Actually, it wasn't that long - just a little earlier than you," Morris smiled softly and nodded slightly, "Heidi doesn't know about it."
"Ah, she really doesn't seem to know - she was still complaining to me today, saying that you suddenly went out to do errands without explaining the situation to her," Fanna said in a complicated tone, "Who would have thought... you just
It appeared before my eyes like this, on this ship, the Lost Home."
"It seems I left in a bit of a hurry," Morris nodded. "I should bring her some northern specialties as a gift later."
Fanna pursed her lips and turned to look at the owner of the ship.
"What other 'surprises' are there next?" She asked helplessly. What happened after passing through the flame gate had completely disrupted the psychological construction she had made since this morning. She had never felt like this in her life.
He was at a loss and panicked, "Tell me in advance so that I can be mentally prepared."
Before Duncan could speak, Nina had already ran over happily and said to Vanna happily: "There is a dinner party tonight! Welcome the new crew members to the party!"
"There is very delicious fish soup!" Shirley shouted from the side, "The captain caught the fish himself."
"Then there's a deck barbecue!" Nina then added, "There's fish, beef, and wheat juice!"
"No drinking," Duncan's voice immediately came from behind Nina, "even if you call it 'wheat juice'."
Nina's expression suddenly dropped: "...Not at all?"
"The sweet fruit wine last time was already the limit," Duncan said with a straight face, "it's still too early for you to drink beer."
"oh."
Vanna looked at Nina, then at Duncan, and then sighed softly for a long time: "So, there is really something wrong with that antique store - but I didn't find anything."
"We have been operating legally. Although the goods are not genuine, the prices are real," Duncan said with a half-smile. "As for you not finding anything...it's actually a good thing. You know what I mean."
"Yes, His Majesty the Pope reminded me to restrain my urge to spy when I'm around you," Vanna sighed again and looked at the ugly skeletal giant dog next to Shirley, "If I'm not mistaken,
Is this a ghost hound? This little girl is a summoner who lives in symbiosis with the ghost demon?"
Agou immediately shook his head: "Ah, yes, yes."
Fanna was surprised: "...This devil can talk?!"
"Not only can it speak, it can even spell its own name and calculate addition and subtraction within a hundred," Duncan said casually. "Among the crew of the Lost Home, it is considered to have a relatively high level of literacy."
Vanna was stunned, and then looked at Alice who was moving her neck not far away. She had just discovered the details on the other person's joints, and now she was thoughtful: "A doll, can you say..."
"Anomaly 099, her previous name was Doll Coffin. Now you seem to have just changed her name to 'Doll'. But she has her own real name. You should already know it. Just call her Alice here," Duncan said calmly.
He said, and then added, "Don't worry, she is safe now."
"Hello!" Alice smiled and waved, with a harmless smile on her face, "I didn't scare you just now, did I?"
Fanna subconsciously touched her neck, and then smiled slightly stiffly, in response to the cursed doll's greeting.
At this time, Shirley ran to the side again and found a paper tube with colorful packaging from a wooden barrel. She held it up happily and ran over: "Alice Alice! There is another one here! Do you want...
"
"Stop playing with that thing!" Duncan glared at Shirley, "So who bought this thing? Why doesn't it appear on the shopping list?"
"I..." Nina immediately shrank her neck and spoke carefully, "I bought it with my own pocket money."
Duncan was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Alice: "If they give you weird things to play with in the future, you should tell me first."
Alice nodded while picking small pieces of colored paper from her hair: "Oh."
Vanna sighed deeply again.
She came to Morris and lowered her voice: "This place...has always been like this?"
"From what I know, it's always like this," said Maurice in an equally low voice. "Sometimes it's even more lively - especially when Miss Alice has some new ideas."
