Chapter 21 (2)
The woman with a big chest broke the strange atmosphere. She suddenly sneered, took out a white sheet from her brand-name bag and threw it in front of the old captain. “This clue is too conspicuous. Should I complain about your inadequate service?”
The old captain picked up the sheets and opened them to take a look. The snow-white cloth was mottled with old blood stains…
A few newcomers screamed but the old captain gently placed a finger to his lips and signaled for them to keep quiet. “Those of us who live at sea need to maintain a tacit understanding. Even if we see terrible things, we can’t make too much noise in order to not disturb ‘them’.”
“It is because like ‘them’, we are trapped on the sea. We have to respect each other.”
The faces of several newcomers were scared green and they hurriedly covered their mouths to stop themselves from making noise.
The woman lit a cigarette and bit it. “Even if it is a supernatural incident, I am still living on the ship. Shouldn’t room service give a statement? Can I change rooms?”
The old captain apologetically told her, “We are sorry for the unpleasantness caused to you. The sheets will immediately be replaced with clean ones. As for the matter of changing rooms, I can’t meet your needs temporarily. On the Dusk Cruise Ship, all rooms have been arranged and a temporary replacement isn’t allowed.”
The woman didn’t continue to mess around. She made an understanding sound before indulging in smoking.
“That woman is trying out the rules. Previously, it was said we couldn’t change rooms without permission but it didn’t say we couldn’t change because the service wasn’t in place. Thus, she deliberately brought the sheets.”
