Chapter 1503 The Undead of the Undead
If no one enforces the law, it is just a piece of waste paper.
But rules and laws are not completely equal.
For example, universal gravitation is a basic physical rule. If anti-gravity, which often appears in science fiction stories, can really be realized, it will definitely be a major breakthrough in basic science, because it directly changes the laws of physics.
The level of this kind of civilization is much higher than simple interstellar travel.
The people on earth are still bound in the cradle, anti-gravity?
You must have read too many science fiction novels.
The rules on this ship are not laws, but are similar to the rules of the universe. Breaking the rules is actually as difficult as breaking the rules of physics.
So the man said, your earth is not capable of destroying this ship.
Although he gave a relatively clearer and simpler method, the difficulty is still beyond the technological level of the earth today.
Gan Xiaoyan didn't know whether it could be done, but she would definitely ask for information.
So she said:
"You just mentioned that this ship was salvaged. Where did the people on the ship come from?"
"What do you mean?"
“For example, the other passengers in this bar, and the bartender.”
"They are undead."
Lei Lei glanced at the cards in her hand and immediately refuted after hearing this:
"Impossible, they have no ghost energy."
"Okay, okay, I said they are undead. This is just a metaphor. It is very troublesome to explain their existence. It is enough for scholars to write several books. I will try to be as simple as possible."
He pointed to the other guests huddled in the shadows:
"I'm not lying. They were once guests of this ship, and now they are shadows left on this ship, the souls of the undead."
You are baffled by your simple description.
What undead souls are there?
"It seems that you have no understanding of the shadow world at all."
Gan Xiaoyan asked, this is also a way to expose his intelligence. Perhaps because of this, the man did not object.
"Most of the things you see are just shadows. As I said just now, this ship is very special. It has entities in the material plane and the shadow world, and this ship can freely switch between the two. This kind of entity. It was already so special before it sank. After it sank, the Court of Order salvaged it from the shadow world and made certain changes to it."
The man stretched out a finger. Put it under the light and you can see its shadow cast on the table.
“The shadow exists based on the entity. Without the entity, there is no shadow, but what if the two are combined into one?”
“This is impossible.”
"Nothing is impossible, my lady. The world is much bigger than you think. In fact, you have also seen that this ship is the product of two things in one. It exists and does not exist, just as you cannot kill You can’t destroy this ship even if you kill your own shadow.”
The man changed his tone and said:
“These passengers are the people who died on the Blue Eyed Princess, but they didn’t think they were dead. They shouldn’t have appeared in the first place, at least not in their current form. appeared, but the Court of Order combined the shadow and the entity into one, resulting in their appearance. These people are actually closer to residue, just like you have written on paper with a pencil, even if you erase it, it will still remain. Traces, so I said they are actually the souls of the undead.”
These explanations are still difficult to understand, and Gan Xiaoyan keeps it in her mind.
“Then the wine we drank is also true?”
“No, it is indeed real wine. As I said just now, this ship is a shadow and entity merged into one. , still retains some of the real things.”
"But why wine?"
"I don't know. I was not at the scene when the Blue Eyed Princess sank, and I was not at the scene when the salvage team was renovating it. I guess, Maybe it’s because the wine itself doesn’t belong to the Blue Eyed Princess and is equivalent to extra things, so when the shadow and the entity merged, the wine was left behind.”
The man suddenly patted his head. Cowboy hat:
"Oh, I accidentally said too much. So, madam, do you want to open the cards or ask for them?"
Leilei looked at the two cards in her hand Brand:
"I want the cards."
"I don't want them anymore. Madam, you can ask for the cards at any time until you are satisfied."
He seemed very confident, as if he had a chance to win.
Gan Xiaoyan continued to ask:
"I want to contact my companions, but the walkie-talkie fails." "It's normal. Everything in this ship must operate according to its rules. As far as I know All communications must be in the room, with at least one party in the room.”
“You mean the cabin?”
“There are places besides the cabin that can be used, but there are fewer. But I have to remind you that the captain of this ship doesn’t like radios and the like. If you use it in the corridor, you will be targeted by him."
The man explained, and finally said:
"Do you have any questions? Okay, if there are no other questions, let’s open the cards.”
Gan Xiaoyan is most concerned about four issues: the ghost ship, the court of order, who are you, and how do we get together.
But except for the ghost ship, all other questions have been fooled by him. Even if you ask him, he won't tell you, so there is no need to waste your breath.
Gan Xiaoyan looked at Lei Lei, and Lei Lei nodded slightly to her, indicating that she was ready.
"So, open the cards?"
"Before that, I have one thing to confirm."
Lei Lei suddenly stood up, but the man was not worried:
"If you want to escape, I advise you not to waste your efforts. You cannot disobey the rules based on your ability."
"I don't want to escape, but I want to confirm."
"What do you want to confirm?"
"This!"
While Lei Lei was speaking, she slapped the card table with her palm. A hole was directly blasted out of the exquisite wooden card table. Lei Lei seemed to reach out and grab something from the hole.
“You have been cheating!”
Gan Xiaoyan stretched her neck and saw that there was a hand under the card table, and Lei Lei grabbed the wrist of that hand.
“You secretly used a blind trick to change your cards under the card table.”
“After all, the rules don’t say you can’t cheat.”
Indeed, the rules next to the card table were not written at all.
The man admitted openly:
“I actually don’t like gambling at all. I just like to exploit loopholes in the rules. Since you have caught me, can you Let go of your hand?"
Although I really want to fall out, the threat level of this person is unknown. At least he is acting friendly now.
Lei Lei snorted, squeezed her wrist hard, and then let go.
The man changed his sitting position, and now both Gan Xiaoyan and Lei Lei could see that a thin and long arm stretched out from his belly, which looked like a spider's legs.
There is a human palm on that arm, which is what Lei Lei grabbed just now.
Now there is a glowing golden ring on it, and you can vaguely see some wonderful words flowing around it, like a bracelet.
"You can't use it to cast spells now. Let's open the cards."
The man was not annoyed and looked at the ring on his hand with interest.
"It's interesting. Restriction or seal? Forget it, I'll study it later, then I'll leave it to you and open the cards."
The card in the man's hand is 13+8, which should be exactly 21 o'clock.
But when the card is turned over, the suit on it is distorted, revealing its original appearance.
5+8, 13 o'clock.
And Lei Lei is 13+4+3. 20 points.
"I had a lot of fun, and I really shouldn't get carried away."
The man took out the photo album, pulled out Jiang Zhe's card and threw it on the ground. Almost instantly, the card expanded to look like Jiang Zhe.
The man also stood up and seemed to want to leave, but at this time Gan Xiaoyan said:
"The bet just now is that if we win, you have to release my companions."< br>
She stared at the man and said:
"I have more than one companion."
