Chapter 198: The most terrifying aspect of death is powerlessness.

Mu Yiran thought for a while, and said: "Luo Ge's watch is made of metal and machinery. The lighter can be regarded as a small and simple mechanical combination, but in the painting, it is impossible to identify the complex mechanical properties, so it is directly erase.
"So the watch only retains the ring shape and metal texture, and is reduced to a metal bracelet by'painting' processing-after all, a watch can also be regarded as a kind of jewelry; the lighter only retains the attribute that can light, so it is restored to a lighter Stone and tinder.
"It can be seen that'paintings' will use the age and customs clearance requirements shown in its content to change the properties of the'out-of-time' items we carry, while keeping them in line with the age as much as possible. The original function-unless the function must be erased because of the need for customs clearance.
"But among them, the mobile phone is a relatively special existence. It is composed of electronic components and very technological materials and functions. The'painting' cannot be recognized or degraded, just like the "Human Studies" we have experienced. "In that painting, the mobile phone has become a bug-like existence in the painting.
"Among all the functions of the mobile phone, lighting is probably the best recognized function. Therefore, in this picture, only this function can be used and is allowed to be used during the day. The appearance and internal components of the mobile phone are probably due to If we can’t identify it, we have to keep all of them, but because other functions are unusable, we are actually no different from a piece of scrap metal in our hands.
"It makes sense," Ke Xun nodded, and suddenly raised the corner of his lips. "I have an idea."
Mu Yiran looked at him, smiled slightly, and said, "You can try it."
Luo Er looked at him with a dumb face, spit out a handful of dog food that was forcibly stuffed in his mouth, and asked Weidong, "What are they playing dumb?"
Wei Dong also spit out the dog food in his mouth: "Ask so much what you are doing, learn from me, and eat dog food quietly. Do you know what it is called? In the words. The love of a real dog man does not need to be shown with his mouth. A look is past, and the words to be said are all in the other's mind, faster than copying and pasting."
Luo Ling realized it and sighed: "This is love. I am envious of a straight man."
Wei Dong stretched out his arms and put on his shoulders: "You can do it too, do you especially love your little girlfriend?"
"I love it in general, I am idle anyway, find someone to play with." Luo Wei made a look of "I don't care and think it's a bit annoying".
Wei Dong slapped his head: "If you don't step on horses, you get cheaper and you are good. The single dog can't beat the two big guys and you can't beat you! Just like someone in Te Mo Ke when he was a child, he is crooked!"
Everyone can see how much this inconspicuous rich second generation actually loves his girlfriend.
The same was the illusion experienced last night. Some couples fell into suspicion, some broke decisively, some showed their true feelings, and some showed "the heart is clear and clear, and everything is silent".
The green and heavy seas were surging with pale waves. Standing on the side of the ship, looking down, it was difficult to see the bottom of the waves. The underwater was very muddy, like piles of thick and greasy, lifeless dirt.
Everyone admired the courage of the girl Fang Fei. Under such seawater, she didn't know what terrifying or disgusting things were hidden, but she still bound the long rope without hesitation and jumped down.
Yu Long's face was sullen, and the two soon dived into the deep green water.
Qin Ci, Mu Yiran, Ke Xun, and Luo Ge stood by the ship's gunwale, ready to pull the two men up from the sea and rescue them when the situation was not good, and the others still checked the cabins.
Luo Ling looked at the water below and couldn't help asking Ke Xun: "Brother, do you think that Li Yi's body is still in the sea? Will they see him in the sea?"
"Maybe," Ke Xun also looked at the sea, "if this sea is just ordinary sea water."
"In ordinary sea water, Li Yi's body will be able to surface in about ten hours." Qin Ci said next to him, "but I don't think it is ordinary. People like Fang Fei and Yu Long with good water, even It should be no problem to fall into the sea in the middle of the night and wait until dawn to wait for us to rescue. However, if we are selected by an irresistible death in the painting, there is no chance of survival. So I think that once we fall into the sea, we are waiting very much. It may be more than just the horror of drowning."
"Uncle, don't scare me, when I didn't say hello." Luo Er quickly stepped back and left the ship's side.
Qin Ci: "..." Why is Ke Xun the brother and the uncle...
Fortunately, Fang Fei and Yu Long did not encounter any terrible things in the sea. The two dived several times and floated on the surface several times to get some breath. Near noon, they were dragged back to the boat by a few people.
"I haven't checked it all," Yu Long breathed heavily and took the towel passed by Qin Ci and wiped the water on his head and face. "Underwater visibility is too poor, and it is quite difficult to check, even if the phone is illuminated. It’s still hard to see if there is anything in the bottom of the ship that looks like a seal."
"Thanks for your hard work, let's change clothes first." Qin Ci knew that this kind of thing couldn't be rushed, and comforted the two courageous newcomers.
"Continue in the afternoon." Fang Fei didn't say much, but he was a person of great perseverance and personal conviction.
Yu Long felt helpless about her decision, shook his head, and said nothing.
Ke Xun went to the kitchen and saw Xuege and Chen Xinai preparing to cook the food, "Do you want to help the beauties?" Ke Xun asked.
Xuege handed him the knife: "You cut the meat."
Ke Xun took the knife, glanced at the ingredients on the short table, and picked out a few pieces of meat from it: "Roast a pork belly, mix it with a cold dish, cook a hot dish, make a fruit platter, make a ball soup, Get some more vegetable rice and live it all."
Suddenly I felt that the room was quiet. I looked up and saw Xue Ge and Chen Xin Ai Zheng looking at him silently, and raised their eyebrows: "Have you never seen a man who can cook?"
"I have never seen a man who lives so exquisitely until he died," Xue Ge said, "you can cook the meat as much as you like. You have to make four dishes and one soup."
"I can't let my boyfriend suffer," Ke Xun began to slice the pork belly, "because I don't know if I can live through tomorrow, I will have to eat and drink and be comfortable before I die. No wonder, you have experienced so much. After a few pictures, the mentality will be as calm as mine."
Chen Xinai's eyes were a little complicated when he heard the words, and he lowered his head to fiddle with the dishes in his hand.
But Xuege smiled, and there was a hint of temperature in his always cold voice: "It makes sense, but unfortunately I don't have the opportunity to experience a few more paintings."
"Don't give up hope, beauty." Ke Xun didn't persuade him much, any spiritual chicken soup would not work well in the painting.
Xuege smiled again: "Even if I don't enter the painting, I will not be able to live for a few months, leukemia."
She said, staring at Ke Xun for an instant, waiting for him to look surprised or sympathetic like everyone else who had heard of her condition, and looked at her with the eyes of a dead person.
But he didn't. He concentrated on cutting the meat in his hand, and even when she finished speaking the last three words, he didn't even blink his eyelids, as if he heard the words "caught a cold" in his ears. The words spoken here are also as loose and natural as before: "How about making another leopard tire? I saw this thing in the lower deck. You can't eat this thing outside of the painting. In ancient times, the leopard tire is a treasure. First, although I don’t know how to make it, I can try it. It tastes bad and it’s just like that. Would you like to eat it?"
Xue Ge really laughed this time: "Leopard fetus? Leopard's fetus? Would you like to be so cruel."
"It's terrible to have no culture. Leopard fetus is the placenta of a leopard, not a fetus, OK?" Ke Xun said, "It's not cruel. Anyway, it's in the painting. Actually what you eat in your belly may not be certain. It’s paint, maybe paper."
"Don't eat, the more you talk, the more you lose your appetite." Xuege's voice finally brought a bit of vitality.
She hated being treated like a dead person while she was still alive. She would rather be treated like the general public before she was about to die.
The cruelest part of death is not that you are about to die, but that you are sympathetic and pitiful, but you can't get any help from them, full of your own despair, resentment, and humble death.
Xue Ge felt that his emotions were somewhat more comfortable.
This Ke Xun looked carefree, but in fact, he was more sensitive and delicate than others.
However, Chen Xinai was absent. After staring at Ke Xun quickly for a few times, he finally gritted his teeth and walked to him. While choosing the dishes, he asked in a low voice: "In your illusion last night, you talked to you. who is it?"
Ke Xun looked at her and replied, "My boyfriend."
Chen Xinai's expression was a little stiff, and she asked again: "Then your boyfriend...was you in the illusion last night?"
"I didn't ask, just ask him if you want to know." Ke Xun said.
"Aren't you curious?" Chen Xinai stared at him strangely, "If you are not in his illusion, doesn't it prove that the person he loves and trusts is someone else?"
"Then the person in your illusion, is Liu Yanlei?" Ke Xun looked at her with the tail of his eyes.
"Of course it is!" Chen Xinai yelled, as if she had been stepped on some painful foot.
Ke Xun shrugged and said nothing to her.
Chen Xinai frowned, lowered his head and chose a few dishes in silence, but finally did not hold back—perhaps because the man next to him has a trustworthy temperament, or maybe he feels that it is bad and bad. , But it’s inexplicable and reliable. In short, Chen Xinai didn’t know why. She just wanted to tell him something she was holding in her stomach:
I’ve asked a few people. The illusions they had last night were without exception, they were all themselves. favorite person."
Ke Xun began to chop meat, his brows moved slightly, and he guessed what Chen Xinai meant.
So she is now sure that the person her boyfriend Liu Yanlei appeared in the phantom last night must be his favorite, but it was not her, she hesitated more and more.
Chen Xinai seemed to want to say something more, but seeing Mu Yiran walk in from the door, he closed his mouth and walked aside with the food.
Mu Yiran didn't have anything to say to Ke Xun, but just stood by his side and watched him handle the ingredients.
Ke Xun's hands kept moving, but the feet under his head moved a hook, hooking Mu Yiran's legs, and connecting them like human-shaped handcuffs.
Chen Xin'ai couldn't stand this wave of dog food from the dog man. He threw away the vegetables and left the room. When Ke Xun made a meal and went out from the kitchen to ask everyone to eat, he heard Chen Xin'ai and Liu Yanlei at the corner of the deck. quarrel.
During the meal, everyone exchanged the results of inspecting the hull this morning, and the conclusion was that there was no gain.
"Then, I have to come to discuss first, who will order the rhino horn tonight." Shao Ling said.
"Let it order." Ke Xun took out his phone and put it on the low table.
The new people looked unclear, so the old members were full of tacit understanding, and said in unison: "You can try it!"
