after waking up.

Chapter 8 Dream or Illusion
Mulan, who didn't like drinking very much, also picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The taste was not as bitter as he imagined, and it seemed to be quite honest, but it was definitely not the taste he liked. He still prefers happy water in comparison.

But thinking that he had been restless for the past two days, Mulan still drank a little more, and Quan should be sleeping.

Although the Princess Nicehurri deviates from the course for a short time, the impact on the entire voyage is not very large. If there are no other accidents, the ship will arrive at Valentine Port in the daytime tomorrow.

Mulan didn't want to go deep into the ship's affairs for the time being. The dangerous elements on the ship should wait for the ship to dock and hand them over to the Valentine Police Station. These ominous things are a little dangerous for him now.

This is an old world, which is different from the old world in the soul impression of the 21st century. This is an old world where there are many mysterious things beyond the sight of ordinary people. There are many extraordinary and magical things, and there are absolutely many So weird and dangerous.

This is the inference in Mulan's heart, and it is also a reminder to himself that he needs to be careful.

Of course, if Valentine's detectives were to ask him anything, Mulan would still know everything and remind him that the two teenagers who heard the song must know something, at least more than what they said. , and before that, Mulan would not express himself too much.

The current investigation into the case on the ship is very limited, and Mulan also understands that those villains who hide deeply and can create such strange things are not ordinary people themselves. Mulan even doubts whether the Valentine police have the ability to take over. this case.

It's just because of the person he saw in the military court before that made Mulan believe that there may well be someone who can deal with a similar situation at the official level of Dirga. Not too far behind.

Thinking like this, Mulan has already forked the last piece of potato on the plate. Well, today he only eats potatoes with gravy. No one can eat steak every day, especially when he was in a hurry to pay the bill last time and gave a large face value. Paper money, the other party didn't give him change, did he think it was a tip from Mr. Jones?

Thinking of this Mulan makes me annoyed!
'In other words, the two of them seem to be avoiding me on purpose, or are they hiding? '

Mulan chewed on the last piece of potato, scraping the gravy from the plate with the remaining bit of bread, and looked around, unable to see the boy and girl, but they weren't missing, they just made fewer appearances , this can be confirmed by the restaurant waiter.

Mulan rubbed his forehead to ease his drowsiness. After rubbing for a while, he stopped because the surroundings became very quiet unconsciously.

"Cuckoo la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la"

An old wooden board creaked into Mulan's ears, as if the deck of the hull was overwhelmed, Mulan slowly opened his eyes, and the surrounding passengers seemed to be extremely blurred and distant, more like a group Slow motion blurred colors, there seemed to be laughter and laughter in the distance, but the environment in which he was in was eerily quiet.

The goose bumps on Mulan's body were bulging. His body was a little stiff, and he didn't move. He just kept looking at everything around him. The restaurant's finishes became extremely old, the paint was peeling off, the tables and chairs were in tatters, and the dining room was in tatters. The plate is full of dust and smudges.

"Cha la la la."

The sound of the plank being overwhelmed came again, and Mulan looked around, and the plank above his head sag and deformed, and the degree of deformation was still increasing.

"Cha la la la."

Various parts of the dining room floor beneath my feet also swelled slightly, as if something was squirming under the floor.

"Hush, hush, hush."

Mulan took a deep breath and reached into his arms to touch the light of the wheel with his right hand. The cool metal touch brought a little peace to his heart, but the strange atmosphere brought a greater sense of depression.

Mulan's eyes suddenly turned to the cabin window, and a black shadow swept across. On the old glass, the dust was rubbed into a distorted shape, as if something was lying there just now.

"Come on! Show up in front of me if you have the guts!"

There was a low growl in his mouth, and Mulan's expression was serious with a sense of cruelty, as if he was still on the battlefield of raging flames, his body was tense, and every muscle was in a state of eruption at any time.

At the moment when Mulan was in high tension, the dilapidated cabin began to take on layers of colors, and the surroundings gradually became noisy. Laughter, conversation, children's shouting, and the crisp sound of tableware colliding all came into Mulan's life. In the ear, the person also suddenly woke up.

"Uh ho, ho, ho."

Breathing lightly, Mulan found that her hand was still holding her forehead, took the napkin, wiped the fine sweat on her face, and the goose bumps on her body hadn't had time to dissipate.

Mulan looked around, everything was so warm, was it a dream again?Or am I hallucinating?It's so real!

In the past two days, Mulan has often had nightmares, and he has to do several in one night. It is short and strange. It is not like the one just now, but it is not as deep as this time. Still a hallucination.

It's just that no matter just now or before, in this dream-like feeling, although Mulan was extremely nervous, he didn't feel any strong danger, at least he didn't feel the danger coming towards him.

'Is it because of the Kraken case? '

Mulan couldn't help but doubt it, but he couldn't be sure, because he never dreamed of the Kraken once, nor heard the song.

"Mr. Jonest, what's the matter with you?"

The attentive waitress came to Mulan's side again, noticed that his face was not very good, and immediately asked with concern.

Mulan had calmed down and shook his head slightly at the woman.

"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't had a good rest. I'm a little tired. Well, let's settle the bill."

The ship will arrive in port tomorrow, and Mulan already knows some insider arrangements. When the Princess Nicehurri arrives in Port Valentine, all passengers and crew will be prohibited from disembarking, and the Valentine Police Station will be notified. .

If it goes well, it will be like this, but there are also people with noble status and high status on the ship, and it is unknown whether the arrangement can be effectively implemented.

Mulan left the restaurant and went back to his room. Even if he was likely to have nightmares, he had to sleep. After all, he already had two dark circles under his eyes, and no matter how much he dreamed at night, he would still have some time in the dark. sleeping.

Mulan's current physical habits were developed on the battlefield, and even if a new soul moved in, it would not disappear, and no matter how harsh the environment was, he had to guarantee a certain amount of rest time.

The next day's sunlight came in through the cabin glass, and the warm sunlight fell on Mulan's face, his eyelashes twitched, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

"Hoo~~~~"

Mulan yawned, then turned inward and sideways, so that the sun couldn't shine on his face. He slept unexpectedly well last night, which greatly eased his nervousness.

After staying in bed, Mulan carried a little hunger and stayed until the evening.

The Princess Nicehurri was supposed to arrive at Valentine Port at noon. Because it deviates from the route in the middle, it was already evening when it approached Valentine. Due to the weather in the waters near Valentine, the sun could not be seen for a long time. Now, there is a vast fog rising from the sea.

"beep----"

The sound of the ship's whistle was very loud, awakening the ultimate bed-riding king Mulan, who seemed to want to make up for the previous insomnia. He propped himself up from the bed and rubbed his hair while looking out the cabin window. .

There is a layer of fog on the sea, and occasionally a hazy light can be seen swept through the fog in the distance.

Valentine's Lighthouse?The ship is coming to port!

"beep----"

As if in response to Mulan's guess, the loud whistle of the Princess Neshuriel came again.

Valentine, the place where Mulan Jester was born and grew up, was both familiar and unfamiliar to Mulan at this time, and the pictures in his memory were profound and vague, sometimes more like a Documentary film I've seen.
