Chapter 205 Deep into The Dark

Chen Yan's cabin was below the deck, somewhere near the side of the ship.

This was a "lattice cabin" that originally existed as a warehouse. Now that there is not enough cargo on the ferry, these cabins have been vacated and exist as inferior cabins exclusively for people who have not purchased normal ferry tickets.

The reason why these cabins are used as cheap inferior cabins is not entirely because they were previously warehouses, but also because there is the sea outside the bulkheads of these cabins. As long as it is a stormy night, the waves hitting the bulkheads can even injure people.

Deafened ears.

In addition to serious noise problems, there are also hygiene problems - there is no place like a washroom at all, not even a decent toilet.

The only "exit" is a downward vent.

Going out here is not completely without benefits. When the waves are big enough, the water flowing up from the vents can clean the whole person in an all-round way, and can even save people the trouble of taking a bath - except that it is cooler and fishier.

Outside, almost perfect.

But if one is unlucky and catches the sea breeze at the right time...

There is no worse situation in the world than this.

The composition of the passengers living in the grid cabin is complex. According to Chen Yan's observations since boarding the ship, there are at least twenty ethnic groups gathered here.

From the Asian people who are divided into Tianshenzhou people, Yingguo people, Nan'an people, Johor people, and Ni people, to the Suka Britannians, Manghuole people, Jizi people, and Hailar people who are divided into ethnic groups in the vast Northland,

And then to the red-skinned Andiyin...

From most of the Europa ethnic groups who boarded the ship, they were divided into overseas Ruk people, Franji people, Jermaine people, Goliath people, Fenis people, Aiel people, and the very rare Rogue people.

Among the Ni ethnic groups, there are Rogeni people, Tuban people, Guogang people...

Before Chen Yan boarded the ship, he had never even heard the names of these ethnic groups.

These people are not all stingy people like him, there are also quite a few paupers and stingy people who are even stingier than him.

People boarded the ship and then experienced a journey that was so long that it took most of their lives.

It took Chen Yan a long time to realize that one can get tired of looking at the sea, blue sky and white clouds.

He carried the white cat into the corridor that ran between the cabins, walking through the strong smell of smoke and alcohol.

After greeting the old drunkard Goliath next door and confirming that his cabin was safe, he took out the key from his pocket with one hand to open the door, and entered his cabin with a wish in his other hand.

Turning around and closing the cabin door, most of the noise was isolated outside the door - as the grid cabins were originally used as warehouses, in order to ensure that water vapor would not invade, the doors of these cabins were almost all airtight, which made it impossible to hear the noise coming from the corridor.

Incoming sounds can be well isolated.

Caring for a dying white cat is not an easy task.

Two days ago, the old drunkard Goliath next door almost died of drunkenness, but was finally saved by a Johor magician with three mouthfuls of milk.

When the Johor holy man used milk to promote his cult, Chen Yan took the opportunity to ask for half a spoonful of milk from the dirty paint bucket in his hand and fed it to the white cat.

After confirming that the white cat was not allergic to lactose, Chen Yan went to the livestock breeding cabin in the center of the ferry every day to buy about 200 ml of milk.

Boil a little bit of crushed rice into the pot, and then mix in the shredded chicken breast. Boil the two until they are tender, mix them into the milk heated to about 60 degrees, wait for them to cool, and they will become white.

Cats eat throughout the day.

The white cat eats very slowly. It seems to be because the teeth are not hard enough. Even if it tries its best, it cannot make the "gnawing" action. At most, it can only "squeak" and can only eat one thing at a time.

A little bit.

But the white cat seems to have a good foundation. Even if he can only eat a little every day, his body is gradually radiating vitality.

After wishing to "read" this part of Chen Yan's memory, she was almost stunned.

'This memory... is not made up.'

'This is indeed what Chen Yan actually experienced after boarding the ship.'

'It seems that what happened in front of me and what I just saw in Chen Yan's head are still real events that existed in the world's memory fragments.'

'The problem is people's bodies and memories, as well as this ferry - including Chen Yan, the people on board completely forgot about the bloody sacrifice and the silence of the ferry.'

'The memory of the previous banquet hall in people's minds was [snuffed out] by her.'

She looked at Chen Yan's clumsy look and felt complicated inside.

'Am I... so difficult to raise?'

'Why did that bastard William Master find me such a weak body? Is he afraid that I would lose control? He really underestimated me...'

She watched Chen Yan cook the rice paste again and then slowly handle the chicken breast, her eyes became trance-like.

'Is this how he fed me on the boat?'

She watched Chen Yan prepare the food, then held "herself" in her arms again, and fed her with a spoon like a baby.

She sniffed the faint smell of adult man's sweat on the tip of her nose, mixed with the scent of soap locust and wild chrysanthemums. Her head felt dizzy, and she felt very familiar.

'Is it just because I have been held in his arms that I became so familiar with his scent later on?'

She felt extremely complicated inside, and this was not her emotion at all - the objectively existing spirit of the world could not have any "subjective" thoughts, including all kinds of emotions.

Emotions come from this physical body - the various emotions generated in this alien white tiger's physical body, making wishes feel the same.

'The emotions of carbon-based creatures... are really wonderful...'

After finishing a small spoonful of milk mixed with minced chicken breast and rice cereal, Xixi raised his head to take a breather, but the moment he raised his head, he suddenly saw, outside the circular porthole behind Chen Yan - a ship without a cabin.

Outside the skin, the monster girl's gentle face appeared here, looking at her with "malicious" eyes.

Xixi was startled by her expression and subconsciously thought:

‘No, that perverted girl is extremely possessive and hates it when others compete with her...

Although I’m not trying to steal it, and I’m not interested in it at all, she will definitely misunderstand it now.’

Seeing that the white cat in his arms suddenly stopped eating, Chen Yan was puzzled and coaxed in a voice that sounded extremely "disgusting" to Xixi's ears:

"Be good, take another bite~"

Desire shuddered and almost vomited out the food he had just eaten.

Looking out the porthole again, I saw that my sister had disappeared at some point, leaving only five faint finger marks on the porthole - the traces of the porthole glass being pressed to the point of deformation.

'Is the quality of this glass so good? I'm afraid it's because although I was very angry, I didn't want to break the window and hurt Chen Yan, so I restrained my strength.'

'I've offended her...'

Wishes subconsciously took a mouthful of food, slurping it with soft teeth, and thought:

'Never mind her, Chen Yan is here to carry her, let's have a full meal first.'

Seeing the white cat struggling to eat, Chen Yan showed a kind smile and stretched out his hand to rub it from head to buttocks.

"So good~"

"Hey... why did you vomit..."

The time on the boat became very long during the long journey, and after a few days, Xixi finally roughly understood his current situation.

'[The exit] has really completely disappeared.'

'I'm really trapped here... trapped in the [non-existent ferry] created by that monster girl.'

'what do I do?'

I have read every message you leave carefully.

Some of them replied because they had a clear mind.

Some of them I didn’t reply to because I didn’t know what to say, or they involved spoilers, or some people just started criticizing them after reading them at a glance, so I deleted them directly.

Most of everyone's guesses are correct, because I rarely give very obscure hints. In fact, when I write some slightly obscure plots, I'm afraid that you won't be able to guess them, so I basically write them in a very simple way.

I don’t want everyone to read a plot and not understand it, so they turn back - that would be too tiring, it’s just a novel, it’s unnecessary.

In short, please believe what you see.

Most of your guesses are correct.

If it is wrong, I may not reply, or if some of the guesses are too outrageous, I will delete them directly, because such guesses will confuse other people and interfere with other people's reading experience.

This book is not written according to normal routines, so when I wrote each chapter, I was very nervous. I didn’t know whether readers could accept such a plot, or whether the hints in each chapter could be understood by readers.

——This is the most difficult thing. I have to write a hint, but it must be controlled enough for people to understand it. Therefore, I fall into a strange pain every day.

What eased this pain were your book reviews, your guesses about the plot, and your encouragement.

Thank you very much for enjoying reading this book. I feel very happy when I see every recommendation vote and monthly ticket. As an author, the recognition of readers is the biggest motivation for writing a book.

Thank you all!
