“My favorite part?”
Of course the question must be answered, but Shade has already made up his mind in his heart that he must omit this part when telling the story to Miss Carina who is waiting at home after this adventure.
“I like the rudder best.”
He pursed his lips, hoping that his words would be normal:
“The rudder is very small but very powerful. No matter how it needs to be turned, it can easily change the direction of the ship with just a slight twist. Although most people can only observe the part above the water , but in my opinion, the invisible rudder is actually the best. ”
The blue-eyed girl laughed again, her snow-white jiao swaying slightly, making her look like a mermaid on the bed:
“I didn’t expect you to say that, but I appreciate your honesty. How about I change my position so that you can observe my… um, yes, the rudder more carefully.”
“Oh, no, no, that’s fine, I’ll finish the painting soon!”
Xia De said hurriedly, causing the girl to laugh again, but she did not tease Shade anymore. She just held her face with her hands, lay on her side and stared at him, really all the time. He stared at her and never looked away once.
He did finish the oil painting quickly. After the last stroke was finished, Shade looked at the “beautiful scenery” painted by his own hands on the canvas with satisfaction. The **** the bed also saw that the painting was finally over, so she couldn’t wait to get out of bed naked:
“The painting is done, right? Let me see it. Oh, it’s your turn to be a model.”
“What?”
Xia De was shocked, but he didn’t expect another voice behind him to suddenly say:
“Okay.”
Xia De immediately turned around to look, and then quickly turned his head back. At some point, another Miss Malone with red hair, the one he had seen at the dance not long ago, was already standing behind him. It’s just that compared to the blue-haired Miss Malone who acted as a model just now, the one behind Shade has a more handsome face.
She was wearing clothes at this time, but not much. And as she walked towards the soft bed, her clothes were thrown to the floor.
The first Miss Malone came behind Shade with a smile and then disappeared. The second Miss Malone climbed onto the bed and leaned against the head of the bed in a lazy posture:
“Let’s start writing.”
She said.
“Come again?”
Xia De said, but his right hand touched the brush uncontrollably.
The girl leaned on the bed in a very lazy but artistic posture. Her face and body details were obviously roughly the same as the first Miss Malone, but when she looked at Shade behind the drawing board , Shade always felt that he was being targeted by a wild beast.
His right hand was still automatically showing off his extremely superb painting skills, while little Mia revealed her little head from between the buttons on her chest, curiously looking at the painting that was taking shape.
In the end, it was the **** the bed who spoke first, and Shade was basically certain that the first Miss Malone he saw on the deck was the first Miss Malone, and the second Miss Malone he saw at the dance was now. Girl.
“You smell like our kind.”
Obviously they have basically the same appearance as the blue-haired girl just now, but their tone of voice is completely different:
“So, you actually know what I am.”
“No, I don’t know. After all, I have never encountered such a thing.”
Shade answered honestly, so Miss Malone asked the question again:
“But you have obviously seen my kindred, and they are very powerful kindred spirits. So please evaluate me, am I beautiful?”
Without raising his head, Xia De answered directly:
“Of course it’s beautiful.”
“Then from what racial perspective is it evaluated?”
Xia De continued to look at the oil painting taking shape on the canvas in front of him:
“Both angles.”
Then the girl leaning against the bed smiled:
“Is this how you win the favor of my powerful kinsman? Then please look at me carefully and tell me again whether I am beautiful or not.”
Shad originally didn’t want to raise his head, but the strange sound of wings flapping forced him to raise his head. He tried his best to control his sight and only focus on the wings extending from the back of the girl’s back:
“The scale color is between brilliant sky blue and deep indigo, so it is a blue dragon~”
I sighed in my heart, then hurriedly lowered my head and continued to look at the canvas:
“Yes, it is very beautiful. Although the wings are small, they are in good shape. Especially when you breathe, the wings sway slightly, which is really charming. From the perspective of human girls, they do not have such a talent ‘, From the perspective of a giant dragon, the color of your scales is very attractive.”
The **** the bed continued to smile, and it was clear that she was in a very happy mood:
“You are really good at talking. Okay, okay, let’s draw quickly. If you don’t draw me as beautiful as you say, I will be angry.”
The painting speed of Sha De’s right hand has accelerated a bit, because compared to the outside world, the duration of this illusion does not seem to be as long as imagined, so Sha De is not in a hurry. When the second painting was completed, Shade did not stand up. The two Miss Malone stood behind him, one on the left and one on the right, looking over his shoulders at the two canvases, and laughingly discussing who painted it. is better.
So in the voice of Miss Double Malone, the surrounding light gathered into the campfire again. Raindrops wetted the newly dry clothes, and rough waves replaced the leisurely atmosphere in the first-class cabin of the cruise ship.
“What am I?”
The blue-haired and red-haired girls disappeared, leaving only the confused black-haired girl here.
When the witches saw Shade returning from the illusion, they also gathered again:
“Shadow, is the oil painting in your hand the image that Miss Malone left on the ship?”
Miss Teresa asked curiously, Shade nodded slightly, and then in their surprised eyes, he unfolded the rolled canvas and found that it was actually two canvases rolled together:
“Two?”
“I think the answer can be announced now.”
He did not let the witches see the pattern on the canvas immediately, but asked the girl in front of him in the rain:
“Miss Malone, do you understand now? Is everything you and she experienced on the boat really what you described?”
“We are all phantoms, incomplete souls, and do not exist.”
The lady with a dull expression said, looking up at Shade:
“In fact, no one can see us, we are.”
“The two of you gathered together and were active on the ship in a more peculiar way. The so-called dating everywhere on the ship was just that your souls were wandering together, so you saw the behavior of the captain and others but they did not notice you. Because you have the ability to know everything on this ship.”
Xia De grabbed a painting with one hand:
“Your unexpected encounter allowed you to discover a way to survive. So a broken soul was born unexpectedly-all things are animistic. It’s just that this is very rare in today’s era. The ‘Glory Messenger’ has a hazy consciousness and the soul, it is a miracle that cannot be copied; a dead phantom – the dragon egg is indeed dead, but it is not known whether it is the conspiracy of the cultists or another accident. Although the new life that has not really been born has no breathing , but the unformed soul has survived. Do you understand now that these two paintings are just paintings?”
Miss Malone pursed her lips, her hair sticking to the side of her face in the rain, her face as pale as if she was about to turn into a ghost, so Professor Evans said what he wanted to say for Shad:
“The two Miss Malone, who did not really exist, are using the act of ‘painting images’ to anchor their own images, telling another existence everything about themselves in order to prepare for integration. ”
Everyone’s eyes turned to the two paintings that were not yet displayed in Xia De’s hands. Xia De took a deep breath:
“Miss Malone, do you still remember what you described as the last thing you did before falling asleep? You played with that lady in your cabin? I think this should only be yours. Memory distorts a major event that happened to you into something that ordinary humans can understand. However, ordinary humans obviously cannot fuse souls, so memory chooses something similar for you. Miss Theresa, tell her, What happened before she fell into coma?”
The blond witch whose name was accidentally called by Shade subconsciously followed the reaction of the teacher when her name was called in class:
“The two of you merged, making two non-existences become existence, making two nameless shadows become people in front of us. So when you woke up, you found that the other lady was missing, and she was not there. It’s not that she’s gone, she’s a part of you.”
Miss Teresa even went beyond the limits and replied:
“The reason why I am temporarily focusing on the memory of the ‘Brilliant Messenger’ is because the place where you fused is on the ship.”
The two canvases in Shade’s hands were unfolded in the rain. Of course, the two girls on the canvas were not lying on the bed without wearing anything. The canvas on the left shows a huge cruise ship sailing under the golden afterglow of the setting sun, while the canvas on the right shows a young blue dragon flying over the sea at dusk and sunset.
The three witches were not too surprised by this. Shade had just painted these two paintings “with his own hands” in front of the two girls, so they were not surprised either. Only “Miss Malone” looked at the contents of the painting in shock, and those hazy memories were becoming clear little by little: two broken souls that no one could see wandered around the ship, met, got acquainted, and became companions, until they finally decided to merge. As one, truly achieve the goal of “survive”.
Her whole body was trembling, and she suddenly understood her existence. Instead of letting her breathe a sigh of relief, it made her fall into a deeper doubt of “what am I?” Subconsciously hugging Sha De in front of him, his trembling body seemed to be trying to draw courage from him.
