Chapter 181: This Is Definitely Not Right!
Before leaving, Rin also said disdainfully.
"Hurry up and tidy up your silly head, getting ready to eat."
Rin was quite interested in the dining options and everything else on the cruise ship. After all, apart from taking a yacht ride with his parents in his memory, he had never experienced traveling on a large cruise ship.
After grooming himself, Rin first looked out through a somewhat small window, only to see a vast expanse of blue, with limited visibility.
The ventilation in the luxurious room was done well. Although he could still smell the salty sea breeze clearly, it was much better than the other stuffy closed rooms.
Rin planned to knock on Sha Ye’s door when leaving with Emilia, but then decided against it, realizing that whether the bat was dead or alive had nothing to do with him, so he just turned and left.
It happened to be lunchtime now, and the restaurant was crowded with many people, clearly distinguishing between social classes.
The Annabel cruise ship, as a super-sized liner, even charges more than twice the price of a regular ship for ordinary tickets, but ordinary tickets don’t include free meals.
You need a fancy boat ticket to get free stuff. The restaurant has two areas, one for rich folks and one for regular folks. The rich area has tastier food.
You can tell someone’s status just by how they dress.
The A area is noisy with kids running around, like a buffet.
The B area is quiet with well-dressed rich people, they like to keep it calm.
Some people move from the A area to the B area, holding plates, eating happily. It’s like going from fast food to fancy food. They don’t care what others think.
This person forgets manners and looks embarrassed. Must be pretending to care less about rules and manners.
Rin glanced at Sha Ye, then quickly looked away, taking Emilia with him, pretending not to know Sha Ye.
Luckily, Scarlet Leaf was too busy eating to notice Rin.
Emilia stared at the burgers and fried chicken being served, Rin saw her and smiled.
"Hmm? Oh right."
Rin did a quick calculation and suddenly realized that according to the calendar, today on Earth was actually Thursday!
Isn’t today the big day for eating fried chicken burgers?!
Thinking about it, he realized it had been a long time since he had fast food, and he was actually craving it!
"Forget about going elsewhere, let’s go eat junk food!"
"Meow~!"
Waste Hero happily responded as well, and the two of them walked shoulder to shoulder to the food counter, staring at the carb-loaded bombs, their mouths watering uncontrollably for a moment.
"Please give me a grilled chicken burger, two pairs of fried chicken wings, a finger-licking chicken, and a portion of fries."
"Same as above, plus an extra crispy chicken leg."
After that, the two of them carried their plates and casually grabbed some cola. They found an empty table and sat down happily, picking up their burgers and taking a bite together.
"Hmm, yes, that’s the flavor!"
After taking another bite of the crispy and tender chicken nuggets with juices, and taking a sip of cola, Rin closed his eyes contentedly.
It must be said that it was fortunate that Lin Wuyue had written a world with a mix of everything without careful setting. All kinds of food were available, at least the quality of life was quite acceptable!
Watching Emilia quickly finish her meal like a hamster, and then going to get a honey-glazed roasted chicken to gnaw on, Rin only started his dinner.
Finally, taking a few sips of ice cola and feeling very satisfied, he slouched in the chair. That feeling, was just delightful!
So now it was four-thirty, almost dawn, who’s inviting me for "Thirsty Thursday"?
Ahem, getting back on track, after finishing their meal, the two of them left the restaurant with a sense of accomplishment, heading to the recreational area of the cruise ship.
This place resembled a banquet venue, with a spacious hall divided into different areas. At the center was a dance hall, surrounded by some gaming areas like magic flags and virtual card duels.
In different areas, there are some cozy couches for people to chat on.
Above the lobby, there is a collection of art pieces displayed, for people to admire and for some artists hoping to find a buyer.
Rin is now on the second floor and hasn’t gone downstairs. He is admiring the paintings hung in the corridor and finally walked to a very eye-catching glass cabinet.
It’s not exactly a glass cabinet, it should be called a crystal cabinet. The transparent crystal is very sturdy, square-shaped, and inside, there is a puppet.
The puppet looks like an ordinary doll, wearing a black dress with brown hair and a bright red bow tied at the back.
She is different from other beautifully crafted dolls, looking more lifelike, with blinking blue eyes, sitting on a yellow chair, as if staring at you, giving off an eerie feeling.
Emilia stared at the puppet for a long time and finally grabbed Rin’s hand.
"Yes, it’s a cursed doll, but it’s still sleeping. Let’s just leave her be."
While Rin was still puzzled, a man in a sailor uniform observing the puppet alongside him smiled and said, "It seems this lady might know the history of this ship."
"It is said that this ship was named by the first captain in memory of his deceased daughter. He missed the princess too much and was bewitched by an evil sorcerer to seal his daughter’s spirit in a puppet."
"They planned to awaken the daughter again, but unexpectedly, the sorcerer killed them and used their life to create a cursed doll. Of course, this is just a legend. The puppet has been kept in a cabinet for over two hundred years, and the ship Annabel has been maintained and repaired several times with different captains, but nothing strange has happened."
"I see."
Rin replied, nodded to the man, and left with Emilia.
After all, from what Waste Hero knew, although this thing has been asleep all along, but… it’s really, truly alive!
Rin felt a chill in his heart, an inexplicable sense of turning from fantasy magic into a horror movie. He didn’t want to stay a moment longer.
After they left, another man approached the sailors.
The once friendly sailor immediately narrowed his eyes and asked softly, "How is it going?"
"The control room and reactor are well guarded, not easy to access, but not impossible. Everywhere else is fine."
The sailors’ smiles turned dark and menacing as they mocked the puppet in the cabinet.
"What does this childish fairy-tale-like curse count for? A true curse is offering the lost lambs to the great one, awaiting its awakening! Our association will surely gain powers beyond earthly limits."
