demon godfather

Chapter 44 Black Ship

The Morrison family seemed to reach some kind of reconciliation in the ward. Mr. Morrison and Mrs. Morrison happily returned home. Chris and Abby looked relieved, as if some long-cherished wish had been fulfilled.

Dominic was very happy for them.But he was happy to be happy, once this matter was settled, he felt it was time to go back to his home.Belen has already gone back first, and they have worked hard and finally taught him to fly (originally Chris desperately wanted him to change back to the form of a dog, and then boxed and checked).

Chris also wants to stay with Abby for a few more days to make sure she doesn't lose control of her emotions again, and then he has to go back to his hometown and visit some old friends from the Witcher Association.Dominique is not very interested in these, plus the godfather called and said that the house has been built (so fast?!), they are decorating, Wolfgang intends to change to a completely different decoration style, Tell Dominic to go back and pick out furniture for his room.So they agreed that Chris would stay with Abby, and Dominique would go back to Maple Ridge, and they would be reunited at the university when the vacation was over.

Before leaving, Abby asked them one last thing.

"You guys go to my apartment and bring something to the hospital," she said. "Without that thing, I always feel restless and can't sleep well."

"What? Can you bring something to the hospital? From your tone, the thing seems to be quite big."

"I spoke to the doctor, and he agreed."

Dominique thought to himself, after all, Abby was admitted to the hospital because of "mental problems". If it can make her mentally stable, why not move a mere thing?

"No problem! What is it?"

"A ship model, black, in the living room of the apartment, you can see it as soon as you enter, it is very conspicuous. It is placed in a glass display box, you should also bring the display box here."

Chris said, "I never knew you liked playing with model boats."

Abby narrowed her eyes: "Is it weird?"

"No, it's not surprising." Chris quickly denied.

Abby gave them the keys to the apartment and told them to move the model boat over as soon as possible.

Abby owns a penthouse apartment in the best part of the city, and it is said that she also owns a villa in the suburbs, where she only lives there on holidays.Dominic expressed deep envy, jealousy and hatred towards the rich.

The apartment is probably cleaned regularly, the tables and chairs on the ground are clean, and there is no dust accumulation that the owner has been away from home for many days and left unattended.One wall in the living room is full of floor-to-ceiling windows, but now the curtains are drawn, Chris ran over to open the curtains and glanced outside, then immediately closed them, muttering something, Dominic listened It took a long time to hear what he said, "Patients with fear of heights must never live in this kind of place."

In the center of the living room is a glass display case, in which is the model ship that Abby said.Because of it, the whole living room does not look like a place where people live, but rather like a museum exhibition hall. All the furniture is arranged according to the display box in the center, giving people a feeling of "stars and moons" , as if the master of the room is not the person, but the ship model.

The ship model is very large, and Dominique estimates that it is about [-] centimeters from the bow to the stern, which is far from the small and exquisite sailing ship model he imagined—not to mention that it is not a simple sailing ship, but a steam ship, even equipped with propeller propeller.

"No wonder Abby wants the two of us to move together, she is really good at calling people." Dominique complained, "I'm afraid two people are not enough, we have to find a moving company!"

"This glass display case doesn't look very easy to move. I think the model must be taken out first, and then one person moves the model and one person moves the display case."

"...I told you I'm looking for a moving company."

"Shut up, it's time to finish the move."

The display box is not locked and can be opened directly.Looks like Abby doesn't intend to guard against thieves.But having said that, I'm afraid that some thieves may not be willing to steal such a cumbersome model ship. Even if they do steal it, how to transport it away is quite a troublesome problem.

Chris tried to hold the bottom of the boat with both hands and lift it up, but he only lifted it a few centimeters. He was suddenly discouraged, and the model hit the bottom of the display box with a "boom".

"What material is this thing made of? It's so fucking heavy." Chris cursed, took out his phone, and looked desperate to find Abby.

Dominique was perched on the edge of the display case, poking boredly at the deck of the model.The side of the ship is painted with the word "You Ming" in white paint. It seems that the name of this ship is "You Ming".What an unlucky name!

"Chris, does this ship look familiar to you?"

"What?" Chris rummaged through the phone's address book and asked casually.

Dominic stared at the black ship model, and automatically searched for relevant information in his mind. "Ghost"?He didn't seem to have heard the name.The ship itself?Where has he seen it?He must not have seen the real thing with his own eyes. He has never been on a transoceanic ship when he grows up...

"Ah! It's that painting!" He slapped the display box violently, and the box and the ship model in it vibrated.

"What did you say?"

"Benjamin Tristan's painting! Ship on the Ice Sea! Do you think this ship looks like the one in his painting?"

Chris stared at him strangely: "It does look a bit similar, after all, they are all black..."

"Also, do you remember the thief Vincent who stole the painting? Abby's reaction is a bit like him! He went crazy when he heard that he had stolen a fake painting. Abby heard that Lazarus died. And suddenly went crazy!"

"But Vincent went crazy because he was bewitched by the power of Famine Knight, and Abby..."

"This ship!" Dominique pointed to the ship model in the display box, "Didn't Helen say that the black ship is the symbol of the Famine Knight!"

"..."Ship on the Ice Sea" is different. It does not depict the true face of the famine knight positively, but uses a metaphorical technique, using the black ship as a symbol of 'famine'. I can tell you clearly, that The image - the ship frozen in the glacier - is real. It is an accident caused by Famine Knight in the past, and although it is long past, the remnants of that accident still have terrible influence. Only by eradicating that legacy only by taking back the power of the Famine Knight."

Helen, who was a war knight, once said so.

"You mean, this ship model also has Famine Knight's powers, and Abby is affected by it?" Chris asked.

Although he was very reluctant to admit it, he felt in his heart that Dominic was right.Isn't Abby's frantic delusion to resurrect Jared a terrifying desire?After the desire was shattered, she collapsed, like a prisoner who was forever hungry and never satisfied, captured by the famine knight...

"But this model... you mean, Benjamin Tristan's "Ship on the Ice Sea" was drawn with reference to this model? Does Abby know Tristan?"

"Not necessarily!" Dominique said, "This model may be made with reference to a real ship. Tristan drew the same ship, and they just found the same prototype!"

Chris immediately looked up information on the ship on his phone.The word "Underworld" was written on the model, which was probably the name of the ship, so he searched for "Underworld" on the Internet.

"Found it! There is indeed such a ship!"

"really?"

Chris's finger quickly slid on the phone screen, "It is one of the two ships of John Franklin's expedition. In 1845, the expedition went deep into the North Pole to find the Northwest Passage..."

"And then? Did he succeed? Died?"

"Without success, the expedition team disappeared in the North Pole. Later, the United Kingdom dispatched many rescue teams, but only found some remains of the dead and relics. They speculated that the expedition team was trapped in the glacier. The team members died one after another due to disease and hunger. died...the wreckage of the two boats has not been found yet."
