The Grim Reaper Can't Be Tricked

No one noticed Ivan's complaints, as if there was a thin film covering him and the magic painting. Others only saw him leaning against the wall, bowing his head, without saying a word.

Nuolun's people waited quietly at the door, watching Ding Yiqing and his party of six coming out of a small guest room with strange eyes, not knowing what they were doing there just now.

"please."

The third man in black closed the door, and saw another person inside, hidden in the darkness, with a huge square grid on his head, he was shocked at first glance.

Anyone else?He asked, "Who are you?"

The people inside didn't respond. The man in black turned his head to ask the Chinese people, but found that they had already walked more than ten meters away with their companions, and they didn't find that there was another person in the guest room, nor did they find that he was left behind.

The man in black was filled with uneasiness, and inexplicably aroused curiosity, stepped into the guest room, and asked cautiously: "Who are you? Your companions are gone, why don't you leave?"

"Good weight……"

"what?"

"There is a painting on my back, it's so heavy, can you help me take it off?"

"You can't let go of yourself?"

"No, the painting is very expensive. I'm afraid he won't be able to pay for it if it breaks. Please help me and come here quickly."

The man in black felt uncomfortable. The man's voice and tone were uncomfortable, and the words he used were weird. Why was it 'he' instead of 'it'?

Thinking of this, the man in black regretted coming in, and when he was about to turn around and leave, he was suddenly grabbed by the wrist by the man in the shadow of the corner, frightened him to struggle hard, but found that the man in black was so powerful that his wrist was broken with a slight twist .

The man in black screamed and stared at the monster coming out of the darkness with distorted and horrified faces. It was like a huge oil painting rooted in the upper body of a human being. The oil painting was covered by a blackout cloth and was slowly sliding down.

He had a hunch that once the blackout cloth hit the ground, something rather terrifying would rush out.

The pupils are slack, reflecting the red moonlight and the red painting. I don’t know how much blood was sucked to get this black and red bright color. The lifelike Achilles seems to turn his face and show a strange smile to the man in black .

A thread-like silver light flashed in the air. The man in black's neck hurt first, and then he was pulled by a huge force and fell to the ground. He regained his sanity after being bewitched, and watched helplessly as the cabinet behind him was cut in half.

"Ahhhhh!!"

The man in black screamed and crawled out of the room.

Cen Jin, who saved his life, clasped Ivan's shoulders to restrain Ivan's actions, and Ding Yiqing, who had gone back and forth, raised the Tang knife and slashed at the place where the magic painting and Ivan were connected.

As soon as the sharp blade hit the picture frame, there was a shrill howl, and the "bang dang" sounded, the magic painting broke away automatically, and Ivan fell to the ground softly. Nail firmly to the ground.

Cen Jin mentioned that Ivan put him beside the bed, kicked the magic painting and said, "I read it right, did it want to run just now? Can it run?"

Ding Yiqing: "It itself is a dead object, and it is inconvenient to move. It should be the ability to transform space."

Cen Jin: "Don't touch it yet, this painting comes from the country of the dead, and its research value is very valuable."

Ding Yiqing: "Take it with you?"

Cen Jin: "I put a hundred thousand pressure on your Tang Dao, and trapped the magic painting here, and I will take it away when the matter is resolved."

Ding Yiqing: "OK."

After some discussion, they looked back at Ivan, and Cen Jin asked, "What are your plans?"

Ivan's eyes were distracted: "I want to go home..."

Cen Jin: "If you stay in the guest room, there will be a fifth time travel in about three hours. The first thing to do after returning to 20 years is to go to the auditorium immediately, and we will see you off safely there .”

Ivan nodded hastily, and asked pitifully, "Can I change the room? My mind is full of images of the magic painting whimpering and blowing in my ears."

Cen Jin shrugged: "As you wish."

As soon as the words fell, Ivan rushed out the door, and the surviving man in black at the door looked at Huang Mao and Ding Yiqing in horror, and wanted to ask what the magic painting was and who you were, but he swallowed his words back.

A wise man knows what to do and what to ask. He has been sailing for many years. Has he ever seen any weird things on the sea?

If you encounter weird events, you should pretend to be deaf and dumb to live long.

The man in black got up and guided them with trembling hands: "Please go forward."

Cen Jin closed and locked the door, "Excellent professionalism, brother."

The man in black forced a smile.

The group soon came to the quiet western restaurant at the stern. There were very few customers in the restaurant. They had familiar faces and were either rich or expensive. They were all well-known celebrities and politicians in Europe and America. Everyone who entered the western restaurant had to show their identity badges.

It is not an ID card, but an identity plate specially made by the ship for each person. It is made of pure gold and inlaid with dozens of broken diamonds.

Cen Jin and the others did not have an identity plate, and they could only come in at the invitation of the four of them.

The four sat in a semi-open private room on the second floor, watching the small opera being performed below. As soon as the six of Cen Jin entered, Mrs. Leadman stood up immediately and welcomed them with open arms.

"Dear Wu, nice to meet you again. Your performance is great."

Wu Yujie took a step back to avoid Mrs. Leadman's hug, curtseyed and thanked with a smile, Jiang Bai Pingcuo and Boss Long took a step forward at the same time, standing in front of Mrs. Leadman, saying that she was happy to see Mrs. Leadman, while stretching Hands out in return with an intimate hug etiquette.

Mrs. Leadman's smiling face quickly disappeared, and she became polite and casual: "Sit down, everyone."

The six of them sat down unceremoniously. Cen Jin looked at a man and two women who were showing ID plates at the entrance of the restaurant and said, "Since we are invited to participate in the fantasy night, we should also be given a corresponding identity plate."

Too arrogant.Mrs. Leadman and the others quickly put away their friendly faces and stared at Cen Jin coldly.

Cen Jin turned a blind eye, took the ice cream sent by the bunny girl and scooped it up scoop by scoop, and everyone else should be silent and eat, obviously acquiescing to Cen Jin as the group spokesperson.

Noren smiled: "You are personally invited by us, and you don't need an identity plate."

Cen Jin shook his head: "It's still reassuring to have a nameplate to prove our identity. After all, who knows what identity we will be invited in the end. It would be boring if we were invited as stage performers, wouldn't it?"

Nolen: "That's right." He clapped his hands, and came in with a box under his hand, which contained four identity tags: "This is the only remaining ID tag. It's a pity that two of you have to be discarded."

Cen Jin: "You speak as if the nameplate is a life-saving straw."

Nolen: "The nameplate can take you to see a different world, and it represents far more value than ordinary boat tickets."

Cen Jin: "Broken diamonds, gold... are indeed valuable."

Noren: "It's far more than that." He stretched out his hand, pressed the box containing the nameplate, leaned forward, and stared straight at Cen Jin: "The nameplate can also give you a priceless treasure."

He tilted his head, swept the faces of Wu Yujie and the others one by one, and his eyes finally fell on Ding Yiqing: "The four people who got the nameplate will go on a smooth road from now on, and the two people who lost the opportunity will be poor all their lives... So tell me now, who is there?" Willing to be in front of two people?"

Wu Yujie shrugged her shoulders, noncommittal, would the woman of the majestic Ghost and Gu Clan patriarch be poor?joke.

Jiang Bai Pingcuo shook his head, money is something outside of the body, it is not as interesting as a volume of Buddhist scriptures.

Boss Long and Li Dao looked at each other with expressionless faces and no interest. Their family backgrounds allowed them to spend three lifetimes as playboys.

Ding Yiqing took out an exquisite pocket watch out of nowhere and was playing with it boredly. When he received Noren's gaze, he was silent for a moment before saying that he didn't need it. Don't count him in the number.

"You underestimate me." Cen Jin tried to grab the box: "I can eat it all by myself."

Among the six people, he is the poorest.

As soon as Nuolun let go, the box was in Cen Jin's hands.

His cheeks twitched imperceptibly, glanced at the few people, and found that they were really indifferent to this treasure.

Split failed.Mrs. Leadman opened a folding fan, covered half of her face with a smile, looked at Wu Yujie and said half-jokingly, "May I give you my nameplate?"

Wu Yujie: "Okay."

Seeing Wu Yujie's posture of reaching out for the nameplate, Mrs. Leadman quickly changed the subject: "Something happened on the cruise ship, and the bar, art gallery and gallery area are all closed. During this period, someone saw you in and out of the restricted area."

Cen Jin: "Who saw it? What did you see? It must be a mistake."

"For the safety of tourists, surveillance is installed in several important places on the cruise ship." Robin, a handsome but shady young man, took off his leather case, touched his steel left hand, and said grimly: "There is no trace of you in the background surveillance, gallery Your sneaky figures appeared in the area and the guest room area, and it happened that someone among us lost valuables... Maybe there was a misunderstanding, maybe it was a coincidence, but just in case, please cooperate with the investigation."

While speaking, Robin stared at Boss Long who sneaked into his room, Mrs. Leadman looked at Wu Yujie, and Nuo Lun looked at Ding Yiqing who stole his safe. The three of them did not change their expressions under the sharp gaze. drink tea.

Cen Jin noticed that there was a line of sight on the opposite side that changed from vagueness to scorching heat that could not be ignored. He raised his eyes and saw Loki in the form of an old man. He was wearing a green suit and silver-white hair. He was a rather delicate old gentleman.

"If we want to cooperate with the investigation, we must first solve the problems we encountered on the cruise ship." Ding Yiqing put down the sweet black tea he was not used to, and negotiated face to face: "From the moment we set foot on the cruise ship, we were repeatedly attacked maliciously and almost died. You should explain it to us."

"Malicious attack...?" Noren was puzzled.

"The corridor in the guest room, the roar of monsters in the box room."

The corners of Nolen's mouth drooped, Robin's expression became more gloomy, and Mrs. Leadman stopped shaking her fan.

As soon as Ding Yiqing finished speaking, Cen Jin added: "There is an abnormality in the steam boiler room."

Mrs. Leadman grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it downstairs: "Quiet!"

The rehearsal of the climax of the opera stopped immediately, and Mrs. Leadman looked at Cen Jin: "Have you been to the boiler room?"

Cen Jin: "Walking around the door, there is a very fragrant smell inside. If the crew hadn't stopped me, I would have thought it was a kitchen, and almost went in to ask for something to eat."

Mrs. Leadman relaxed a little: "There is indeed a remodeled kitchen. If you want to eat, I'll have someone bring it over right now."

Cen Jin: "The structure of this ship is quite interesting. The boiler room is actually a kitchen?"

Mrs. Leadman: "It's an old refurbished ship—"

"Okay." Robin interrupted impatiently, and the steel hook was inserted heavily into the coffee table and swiped fiercely, making a harsh sound. "I didn't see any traces of you being attacked, but I think you are talking nonsense."

Cen Jin paid attention to Loki's movements and demeanor throughout the whole process. The other party just glanced at him and then lowered his head to drink tea quietly, with a lukewarm attitude and no friendly signal.

Ding Yiqing: "We are victims, severely traumatized, always vigilant and suspicious of others."

Robin raised his voice: "You suspect that we are attacking you?!"

Ding Yiqing expressed calmness: "I'm somewhat skeptical—everyone knows the legend of ghost ships and caged beast sacrifices, why pretend to be ignorant?"

The four of Nolen immediately revealed a strong killing intent, and finally Mrs. Leadman's reproach broke the stiff atmosphere: "So dear Wu, is this the reason why you don't accept me?"

Wu Yujie: "The main reason is that I have no intention of bending at the moment."

Mrs. Leadman said without embarrassment, "You haven't tried it yet."

Noren: "We're friends now, right?"

Ding Yiqing: "It depends on your attitude. I was attacked in the guest room area, and he was attacked by non-human creatures in the bar. How do we know that these attacks are not from you?"

Noren: "Are you sure you're under attack?"

Ding Yiqing: "You can watch the surveillance."

Nolen: "No need, I trust you." He observed the six people carefully: "You are not an ordinary rock band, do you have a channel to know the secret of the ghost ship at home?"

Ding Yiqing: "The elders did say so."

The school teachers and the instructors of the headquarters are considered their elders.

When Noren heard it, he said, "As expected", the ghost ship and fantasy night are not secrets in the upper class. They were strictly blocked in the European white circle before, and they gradually accepted Asians with the world's exchanges and opening up. This group of young people is probably A period of rebellion creeps in.

It's just that the rebellious period of young people is easy to deal with.

"Sightseeing bar... is it convenient to describe the non-human biological form that attacked you? Have you ever been to the gallery area?" Loki said suddenly, his voice old.

Cen Jin described the monster he saw, glanced at Ding Yiqing, and then told about the magic painting in the gallery area.

Mrs. Leadman: "Achilles' heel? It's a famous ancient painting in my collection. It's in the collection room. It can't be opened without a password."

Cen Jin: "It's a magical painting that confuses people, cuts off people's heads and sucks blood, don't you know?"

Mrs. Leadman: "Why?"

The bewilderment and astonishment on her face did not seem to be fake, Cen Jin gave up after exploring for a while, and instead asked enthusiastically: "I want to give my sweetheart a hairpin, do you have any recommendations?"

Mrs. Leadman: "My aesthetics are not suitable for immature girls, why don't you ask Wu."

Wu Yujie: "Send a big red bow or a big black bow. It's ingenious and innovative. Girls like it."

Cen Jin hesitated: "Is the bow tie a hairpin?"

Wu Yujie plausibly said: "Otherwise?"

Cen Jin: "I still want to send a skirt, what style is the best?"

Wu Yujie: "Princess dress."

Cen Jin: "What's it like?"

Wu Yujie: "Have you seen Snow White? Just like her."

Cen Jin looked thoughtfully at Mrs. Leadman: "Do you think it's okay?"

Mrs. Leadman shook her folding fan and said hesitantly: "It should be fine." She thought it was extremely ugly, but the aesthetics of the little girls (five or six years old) was indeed the same.

Boss Long: "Why don't you give me another pair of crystal shoes with a flying butterfly inlaid on the upper. The crystal butterfly and bow tie are more suitable."

Li Daoyi: "Send a flower basket of Little Red Riding Hood as a bag, it's creative."

Quiet at this moment, the four of them looked at Jiang Bai Pingcuo, who made a sound and nodded: "Perfect match."

It was quiet again, and the five of them looked at Ding Yiqing.

Ding Yiqing lowered his head to play with his pocket watch, and no one wanted him to lower his tone and say compliments against his will.

Cen Jin whispered 'tsk', Turtle, and turned his attention back to the four people on the opposite side. Mrs. Leadman was full of confusion, Robin and Noren were not interested in this topic and sneered, only Loki had a full face Wrinkles do not show too obvious expression.

No response?

At this time, Ding Yiqing poked the back of Cen Jin's hand to attract his attention, and then winked over, Cen Jin finally noticed the unrest under the table, Loki tightly grabbed the hem of the skirt, as if restraining the urge to speak up.

Cen Jin added another strong medicine: "The color should be harmonious... How about purple?"

Li Daoyi and the others nodded: "Yes."

Wu Yujie: "I like purple."

Mrs. Leadman's eyes twitched. Seriously?

Rocky was fidgeting, and couldn't help saying: "I have an assistant who is a fashion designer, let her help you refer."

Cen Jin declined: "I'm so sorry." Turning around, he said to the others: "She also likes a cooler look, so can I make a princess dress out of purple leather?"

Are you still human?Loki took a deep breath: "Don't be embarrassed, she likes to help others, and I will lend you—" He firmly grasped Cen Jin's wrist: "Don't refuse, she will be sad."

"Great kindness is hard but... okay." Cen Jin had no choice but to agree, as if solving a major life event, he clapped his hands and said, "Back to the original topic, you don't know what the non-human creatures in the collection room are?"

Nolen: "If we knew, we wouldn't suspect you, but we will investigate tonight. It's not too early, there is still half an hour before the opening of the fantasy night, you can wait downstairs, the restaurant has direct access to the auditorium door."

The intention of seeing off the guests was obvious, and Cen Jin and the others had achieved their goals, so they all got up.

When leaving the door, Cen Jin expressly told Rocky to arrange for a female assistant to come over quickly, he couldn't wait to send a gift to his sweetheart.

When talking about his sweetheart, Ding Yiqing glanced at him uncontrollably.

As soon as the door was closed and the guests were sent off, Mrs. Leadman immediately lowered her face and glared at Robin: "The Long Art Street and the gallery area are all under your name, and you haven't cleaned up those dirty things? You know that those dirty things have How dangerous is it?!"

Robin was impatient: "What's the matter if I only left one? It was still young at that time, and I fed it regularly every day, so nothing happened at all."

"No accident? The 38 mummies in the gallery area said no accident!" Mrs. Leadman was surprisingly angry.

Robin: "That was just an accident."

"Ha! The bar was an accident, and the gallery area was also an accident? The magic painting given to me was also an accident?" Mrs. Leadman stared at Robin coldly: "You want to kill me and eat the bone broth from the boiler room."

Robin denied it bluntly: "No."

Mrs. Liederman questioned Noren: "Don't tell me, you don't know the dirty things he raises on the Art Street! You were there when he sent me the painting, and you also saw that there was something wrong with the painting, but you didn't remind!"

Nolen: "That's your business, I won't meddle in your own business."

Mrs. Leadman sneered again and again: "You are waiting for the two of us to fight bloody, so that you can take away my bone soup and his slave farm!"

Both the art street and the gallery area are Robin's territory. He used to raise a large number of 'caged beasts' there, but his skills were not good enough.Later, they only provided everyone with 'raw materials' and sold them to Noren, who had the highest skill in raising 'caged beasts'.

The division of labor between several people is quite clear, and now there are signs of collapse due to a magic painting in the gallery area.

"Anyway, this is the last time. After tonight, I will take away the bone broth. If you want to continue raising those dirty things, you can buy it from me at a high price. From now on, there will be no discounts."

Robin jumped up anxiously: "You want to break up? If you say break up, then break up. Do you think it's that easy?"

Mrs. Leadman: "You all dare to seek money and kill, why don't I dare to break up? Besides, the ship spirit is getting more and more fierce, more and more dissatisfied, and more and more picky about caged animals, attacking again and again There is no guarantee that the boxes and tourists will not attack us one day."

Robin dared not speak in anger. Mrs. Leadman did have the ability to challenge them. He turned his head and angrily grabbed the nearest man in black and ripped out his throat.

Bloody and brutal, like a devil.

Noren and the others looked disgusted. They hated Robin's bloody violence that was not artistic enough, and would stain the tables, chairs, floors, and their clothing.

Loki stood up tremblingly: "Is there any conflict left to be resolved after the end of the fantasy night, now we need to work together to guard against those Chinese people and ensure the safety of the sacrifice... The boat spirit is not satisfied, so we have to give it to him." Some hors d'oeuvres."

Robin said in a rough voice, "Where can I find him dessert? The monster in the box?"

Loki: "Those little cuties may be the final sacrificial cage beast king, so don't touch them."

Nolen: "There are eight or nine hundred humans on board who don't know the truth. They don't have enough energy, but the taste is okay."

Mrs. Leadman understood: "I'll have the bone broth delivered."

After a while, the conflict was temporarily put aside, and Luo Ji, who was feeling uncomfortable all over, took a shortcut and quickly disappeared.

They didn't pay attention to the ventilation duct above their heads. A black figure watched them quietly, then disappeared, making a little noise before leaving. Noren raised his head to look, and only let his guard down when he didn't find anything unusual.

In the hidden passages and walls of the cabin, a figure quickly fled to the dark place inside the corridor of the guest room area. The figure made a rustling sound, and then there was a figure with a length of one meter and a tail of two meters. The rat-like non-human creature growled angrily.

The roar echoed in the guest room area, but no one could hear it.

Here, in a corner of the restaurant, an intellectual woman stood in front of Cen Jin and introduced herself: "My name is Susan, Mr. Rocky's assistant."
