Chapter 915: Chapter 913: Chaos
These past two days have been the happiest of Liu Xinzhi’s life; never before has she experienced such wonderful memories since she was born,
She is acutely aware of certain unfavorable changes within herself, yet she harbors no complaints; instead, she is immensely grateful for these changes.
It is precisely these changes that have freed her from her previous cage, and it is precisely these changes that have led her to meet her destined prince.
Although she is forbidden from sleeping and unable to realize the dream of sharing a bed with Mr. Yi, she is more than satisfied with just being by his side.
Furthermore, she now has a sister to take care of her, a sibling relationship she had never experienced as an orphan, and she is quite enjoying it.
She has even suppressed the selfish emotions brought on by the ‘latent Fu Jiang’ in her heart, willing to share Mr. Yi with her sister, even beginning to imagine the unique scenario of the three of them together.
“Xinzhi.”
“Sister Mu, what is it?”
“Do you think there’s something wrong with that waiter up ahead?”
Mu’s words pulled her back to reality from her blissful fantasy,
At a distance of less than ten meters, at the corner of the passageway, a waiter stood motionless, with a clown mask on his face making him appear eerie.
Liu Xinzhi observed while speaking:
“The style of the outfit, the color, and the proportion of the sleeves are correct, the shoes too… But, the eyelid color on the mask has changed from red to black, let’s go quickly, Sister Mu!”
Just as Liu Xinzhi noticed the peculiarities, the originally stiff waiter suddenly leaned forward, reaching a 45° angle,
Seawater overflowed from the mask,
Screeching sounds erupted as octopus tentacles burst out wildly from the eye sockets of the mask, wriggling free in the air.
The waiter, maintaining the 45° forward-leaning state, started running madly like a zombie, lunging towards the two of them.
Just as Liu Xinzhi was shocked by this change and was about to fight back… swish! The black umbrella held by Mu suddenly enclosed them both within it.
Once the umbrella opened again, they found themselves in another passageway.
Liu Xinzhi was stunned by this seemingly magical ability, “Sister Mu, is this magic?”
“If I didn’t even have this bit of skill, we wouldn’t survive what comes next… You did well in spotting that minute detail at a glance; were you really a housewife before?”
“Yes, initially, I didn’t work and set up a street stall outside. Then, I met my husband. He was worried I’d be too tired and let me stay at home.
Perhaps because I was too bored, I gradually got used to observing things at home, focusing on various details. After all, if anything was out of place, my husband would beat me harshly.
Now, I can even grow many eyes to observe together, seeing more details clearly.”
“Oh… it seems you were not a housewife but were imprisoned by a man.”
“Imprisoned? Now that I think about it, that’s what it was… But it doesn’t matter anymore; I’ve already bricked my husband up in the wall.”
The two successfully reached the so-called banquet hall, already bustling and crowded with women who came to compete. Those who could board the cruise were generally very capable, with distinctive appearances.
Just like Mu, who was dressed entirely in black with the unique feature of holding an umbrella, some contestants had already surpassed the realm of humanity.
For example, a woman over three meters tall, wearing a sun hat, passed in front of them, her face radiating extreme confidence.
There was also a woman in a red wedding dress and veil, carried piggyback by a man painted to resemble a paper figure, not even putting down the woman to eat.
And then, there were the more bizarre segmented women, with separable limbs, torso, and head, each independently wearing kindergarten children’s clothing, resembling a group of little friends going to school together.
Today, everyone had exhausted themselves to board the cruise, and hunger was gnawing at them, with most of them devouring food ravenously.
Liu Xinzhi had never seen so much delicious food before and was about to join the feast when her neck was pulled back by the umbrella handle.
“Some things are edible, some are not.”
“Oh! Sister Mu means the tentacles mentioned in the rules, right?”
“No… The first rule, although prohibiting mutual killing, does not prohibit mutual influencing. Some of these foods have already been sowed. Once eaten, they may not cause immediate harm now, but after leaving the cruise, they’ll act immediately.”
With Mu’s reminder, Liu Xinzhi also noticed an abandoned meatball,
The meatball had grown hair and had the profile of a woman’s face on its side, squirming on the ground. But it wasn’t long before a passing woman crushed it completely with the point of her high-heeled shoe.
…
[Guest Room]
Yi Chen sat alone on the balcony, holding a stool,
Not seen for a long time, the Assistant Clown of the Circus – Catherine, was sitting on the bed, with octopus tentacles writhing beneath her, soaking the entire bed.
“We can thank Mr. Yi for ignoring the rules proposed by William, enabling me to exploit the loopholes in the rules to come here and meet with you.
In that case, maybe I can assist you in advance! Were those two the ‘Fu Jiang’ you have your eyes on?
Nice selection, the woman in black looks quite pretty and is an embodiment of evil, though the other one is quite ordinary, seemingly married, with a physique that can only be considered upper-middle.”
Yi Chen merely stared at Catherine coldly, remaining silent.
“I’m sure Mr. Yi has noticed, I am the Root of the seafaring journey’s rules. If you wish, I can ensure nothing happens to the two of them throughout the trip.
Ah~ Mr. Yi doesn’t like to talk, does he?”
“What did William send you here for…”
Catherine changed her posture, leaning on her black-and-white painted face, sighing, “Ah~ As expected, I can’t fool Mr. Yi. All right, fine~ William indeed sent me, giggling!
William tasked me with overseeing sea-related matters, ensuring everything proceeds smoothly, and checking whether Mr. Yi would adhere to the rules.
Since Mr. Yi is staying ‘honest’ for now, my purpose is achieved.
William also said he hopes Mr. Yi can trust him. The phenomenon enveloping this world is new, sporadic, even its essence is uncontrollable.
As long as you don’t act recklessly, and everything follows William’s plan, these scattered phenomena will coalesce, allowing for better management at that time.
He hopes Mr. Yi can cultivate the ‘latent Fu Jiang’ you have your sights on properly, perhaps ending with a bet with William to see whose judgment is superior.”
“Did you partake in this beauty contest, Catherine?”
An octopus tentacle hurriedly flicked up and wiggled, “Usually, evil and evil cannot blend casually… I integrated into it more than a year ago; otherwise, I’d be very interested in the [Fu Jiang Phenomenon].
Be wary of the octopus, Mr. Yi.
Currently, the number of people on your cruise has dropped to 93%. If it falls below the critical value, the sea monster I’m transformed into might come aboard. In that case, I hope Mr. Yi won’t go on a killing spree; I’m quite afraid of you.”
Yi Chen ignored her words and spoke of something else,
“Go back and tell William that things might not go as smoothly as he thinks.”
“Hiss~ Is Mr. Yi planning to cause trouble~ Aiya, so intimidating…”
Swish!
As soon as she finished speaking, Catherine’s head was sliced off.
Both her body and the fallen head turned into pools of rotten, foul-smelling seawater, but they were quickly completely eroded by Death, leaving not even a trace.
At the same time, deep within the Theater, in the private bathroom of the director’s office,
William was brushing his teeth here, needing to face the contestants and the world’s Audience with a pearly white smile.
All of a sudden, Catherine, who was soaking in the bathtub beside, shook her head violently, her head separating from her body and rolling to his Foot.
However, this did not interrupt William’s toothbrushing,
He continued brushing, ensuring a full two and a half minutes before spitting out the mouth rinse, cleaning his mouth with a paper towel, and then slowly lowering his gaze to look at Catherine’s head on the floor.
They exchanged glances and couldn’t help but burst out laughing, filling the entire Theater with their laughter.
“Haha~ Well done, Catherine~ What Mr. Yi dislikes most is being manipulated, being placed on a chessboard.
As long as he realizes I’m controlling everything, he’ll enthusiastically join in, attempting to change it all.
This will create enough variables, coupled with Jin’s madness over there, and the entire World will plunge into a state of Chaos.”
