Ch 26 - A crowd of evil spirit lines up to confess to me

After all, this evil god that the captain wanted to summon was still lying at the back of Gu Wuji, ne!


Of course, the captain himself did not know this thing, it would simply be better to say that he couldn’t imagine that someone else would do something like this.

What kind of victim would summon the evil god boss faster than the man behind the scenes!

Noticing Jiang Ling and the other people’s expression, the captain’s look became increasingly colder, in his opinion, this few ordinary people before him were just stupid and ignorant, not believing in the existence of the evil god he believed in at all, just like those ignorant people in the past.

“No matter what you thought about before, all that you will be seeing now, will subvert your imagination!”

As the sound of the captain’s voice fell, his hand immediately pressed at the magical array on the ground, thoroughly completing that small missing part before, with the eyes full of fanaticism.

if this scene of summoning the villain boss was seen in the copies before, Jiang Ling and the others would have probably been scared out of their wits, and would have certainly done everything to stop the captain from doing this kind of thing.

But at this time, they were just standing there, the eyes even had a somewhat complicated expression, so much that, not even a bit of fear was in their hearts, and were simply like actors who had already gotten a copy of the preview.

In the captain’s hand, that completed magical array suddenly lit up with a strange blue light, a type of disturbing scent pervaded the space, with the smell of the seawater that can be vaguely perceived. Upon seeing this, the captain emotions that were already stirred up had reached the extremes.

He had already waited so long for this moment, paying too much for this, now, it was finally the time to reap the benefits--

After several seconds, the bright lights of the magical array darkened, and that strange feeling in the room had completely faded away.

Nothing had appeared.

The whole room was quiet, the captain was suddenly dumbfounded, as he disbelievingly looked at the magical array on the ground, “What happened? Impossible, I’ve been experimenting this for so many times, it’s impossible for the magical array to have any mistakes!”

Actually……

Gu Wuji had just spoken this 2 words, when he had then been interrupted by the captain’s hysteria, “Shut up, this was just a lapse, I’ll be able to summon it right away!”

Gu Wuji: “I’m not……

“Don’t make jokes! I will certainly be successful.” The captain’s expression had already become somewhat crazy, not believing that any mishap could have happened to the matter he had worked hard for so many years, and had once again drawn the magical array on the empty space at the side.

The fact that the magical array could be successfully drawn at a very fast speed, completely demonstrated how long the captain had strenuously worked on this matter. But this time was even more hopeless than before, as the magical array had lit up for just a moment, then immediately darkened, as if something very important was missing.

Seeing this scene, the captains complexion became extremely pale, constantly muttering to himself, “How could this be, how could this be, where’s the problem? It’s impossible for me to make a mistake, no way……

Seeing that the captain was probably unable to interrupt him again, Gu Wuji then said: “Captain, as a matter of fact, you did nothing wrong, this is certainly the proper way to summon.”

The captain looked at Gu Wuji in shock, then soon after coldly sneered and began to speak, “What do you know? Don’t think you can survive with this unsuccessful summon, even if it didn’t work, you can only be buried here together……

“I would of course know it very well, after all, the magical array that you, the captain left in the lounge was very useful.” Gu Wuji sighed, “From this perspective, I should really thank you for your help.”

“What are you talking about? What did you do?” The captain slightly doubted what he had heard. He did draw an incomplete magical array in the lounge, but……wasn’t that something an ordinary person would immediately erase upon sight?

“I attempted the summon.” Gu Wuji calmly said.

Captain: “???”

“And it worked.”

Captain: “???”

And now-, now he’s here.” Gu Wuji said.

The captain simply thought that Gu Wuji was here to humiliate him, how could such a thing be possible? So he immediately said in indignation: “Who do you think you are? How could that god listen to people like you so casually--”

‘Auston’ who had originally been carried at the back by Gu Wuji, had already been standing on the ground at this moment, with both his eyes opened, expressionlessly staring at the captain who was nearby.

Jiang Ling had once again experienced a sense of oppression that can make people stifled from the surroundings, and felt a deep sense of fear in the subconscious mind. Several people couldn’t resist taking several steps back, they didn’t even dare to lift their heads to directly look at the other person’s eyes, that can cause their consciousness to be affected by a sort of indescribable feeling.

The captain who was much more closer to ‘Auston’ experienced an even stronger sense of discomfort, that the blood in the body was practically flowing backwards, making his face become eerily flushed, but none of this came as a shock to personally seeing the person being possessed by the god.

How could this be? How can this kind of thing actually happen? That the god he believes in, could be so casual to actually be called upon by such an ordinary person?

The captain’s mind was practically in disorder, but the ultimate goal had been achieved. He quickly discarded these messy and chaotic things, and enthusiastically knelt down in front of ‘Auston’.  

“I wasn’t expecting to actually be able to see your figure, even the gesture of possession is already enough…… Please give me your instructions! Everything on this boat is an offering for you, and can be taken away at will.”

The captain was already very eager to offer the god all the lives of the people aboard this ship, as a tribute to give to this evil god.

“En, captain, you should ask me first, right?” Gu Wuji started to say.

The captain wanted to refute, but immediately felt the pressure on his body become heavier, that line of sight which had obviously been constantly on Gu Wuji, yet it could still make him clearly sense an ominous line of sight, that clearly made him understand the current circumstances.

If the great god was dissatisfied with this ordinary person, Gu Wuji would have been dead since 800 years earlier, being able to talk and live right now, only shows the god’s approval towards him.

The captain at once spoke with respect, “I don’t know what your command is?”

Gu Wuji was somewhat surprised, not expecting the captain to cooperate like this.

But thinking about it, the most terrible boss of the copy was already standing here right now after all, how could the captain not cooperate?

“I want to tell you something.” Gu Wuji stared at the captain, considering that the other party might not be able to accept this reality all at once, spoke in a slow and steady manner: “As a matter of fact, you are already dead.”

The captain was stunned, then listened as Gu Wuji continued to speak, “Not just you, everyone on board, have already died since earlier on this ship.”

“How could I……” the captain wanted to refute, yet a faint cold sweat slipped from his forehead, before he suddenly realized something.

“Captain, you have also realized this ahead of time.” Gu Wuji said: “I also previously discovered this by chance, even though the people on this ship seemed to be no different with a living person, but these, in fact, are all illusions.”

From that encounter of the female ghost on the corridor, until after that young girl had been saved, the similarities between them……in addition to the previous illusion seen on the dance party, it already made him have some speculations.

The captain had also spoken after all, that this ship had never conducted a dance party before, the scene that he saw where all the people were alive and dancing together was very baffling.

Jiang Ling and the other people were also listening to Gu Wuji’s words silently, they had quite a lot of doubts in their heart after all.

At this time, Jiang Ling himself remembered seeing the requirements written on the notebook just a moment ago, the writing seen on top, was a requirement where a dead person having a connection with the evil god must be present, but all of them were obviously alive……that was the reason why he suddenly became frightened at that moment.

However, due to the reason that Auston had already been a dead person from the start, that this summoning ceremony could be completed without a hitch like this, which then allowed the evil god to posses his body.

If Gu Wuji did not notice this point, no one would also know what could have happened.

“However, after asking this god of yours, was I only able to ascertain this matter.” Gu Wuji looked at the captain’s direction, speaking out his own guess, “In fact, all of this should have originally happened a long time ago, and you successfully completed everything at that time, even successfully summoning this god. But after that, I don’t know what kind of wish you made, which made everything fall and enter into a cycle.”

“I……” The captain held his forehead which ached dully, as memories of the past have continually reappeared.

“You also won’t be able to remember anything when you start the reincarnation again, and only think that you have just recently boarded this cruise ship. Even though the appearance is like a living person, but it is actually just a part of the soul……the other parts of the soul are bound in the deep sea, suffering from pain but unable to escape, subconsciously wanting to kill the other self on board the ship, believing that this kind of approach can make it leave this place.”

This was also because in Gu Wuji’s dreams several times before, he faintly noticed, that the attire of those departed spirits with water-logged bodies were very similar to a lot of tourists on board, this was certainly not coincidental.

The reason why they wanted to get on board that cruise ship, was to replace their other self!

“Your words are correct, all of this is true.” The captain’s face was already full of cold sweat, it was clear that in the middle of Gu Wuji’s words, the things in the past memories had been recalled, then he muttered to himself: “At that time, because the long-cherished wish of so many years had finally been completed, and momentarily had a strong desire in my heart that this would never end……

“So I realized your wish.” the apathetic voice of ‘Auston’ sounded.

Having heard up to here, only then did several of the surrounding people thoroughly understand the truth of the matter, cold sweats had trickled down from their foreheads, it was inevitable that the method of realizing the wish this way was also very frightening.

If they died aboard this ship, perhaps they will also be like all the other departed spirits on board, repeating this process over and over again, still unaware of the matter that they had already died, bearing this kind of endless torment.  

At first, it was mistakenly believed that this cruise ship was called Cruise Ship’s Specter was only because it was haunted, thinking about it now, this entire ship is a specter cruise ship of the dead was simply not just in name, but also in reality, ah!

That little girl, should have originally been killed too, but because of being saved by Gu Wuji, a piece was suddenly able to break free from this cycle, becoming aware of the actual situation, only then did she run to give him a clue, placing all hopes on Gu Wuji’s body.

Now it seems, apart from Gu Wuji, no one else could possibly be able to certainly get to this point.

[Mainline task : Search for the secrets hidden underneath this cruise ship is completed.]

[You are finally aware of all the things that had happened on this cruise ship, but, this is not the end. After all, the cycle of this cruise ship is not yet over.]

[New mainline task triggered: Leave alive.]

“Tonight is exactly the end of the cycle, and the time for a new cycle to start again.” The captain soon regained calm, and said to Gu Wuji and the other people, “If you want to leave, I will let the crew members lower a lifeboat, you just have to ride on it to leave.”

Of course, he simply did not care about the life and death of Gu Wuji and the other people, it’s just that the god now seems to be standing on Gu Wuji’s side, which also gained him a little respect from the captain, or at least made the captain willing to let these unbelievers leave this cruise ship.

After all, he assumed that, the death of these people on this cruise ship would still be an insult to his faith

“As it turns out, the lifeboat really is useful.” Jiang Ling said in a soft voice.

However, if the actual facts were not discovered along with obtaining the captain’s support, it would also be impossible to reach this level, if they had gone to that lifeboat over there like Zheng-ge and the other people from the beginning, then they would not know how many times they would have died.

This copy’s difficulty level was really too high…… Jiang Ling couldn’t imagine that without Gu Wuji presence, how they and these people can leave alive.

Maybe everything will go to another way, but that is already something they can’t see now.

Zheng-ge and the other people were overjoyed upon hearing the captain’s words, they originally thought that death would be their only ending, Gu Wuji had really been able to surprisingly find a way to them come out alive! They immediately wished to exchange contact details with Gu Wuji, in the future, was there still a need to worry in leaving alive when hugging this big thigh?

“Great, then let my companions go first, I still have other more important things to do now.” Gu Wuji said to the captain.

Recalling what Gu Wuji had promised before, Jiang Ling’s complexion significantly changed, he could hardly care about ‘Auston’ at the side who was possessed by the evil god, as he rushed in front of Gu Wuji, and started speaking under pressure: “No, you can’t stay, that’s an impossible task to complete, ah!”

“I already promised, and will never renegade it.” Gu Wuji looked at Jiang Ling, and patiently spoke an explanation.

“But, how can this be? It wasn’t really easy for us just to reach this point now! It's clear that boarding the lifeboat is the way to live! These ghosts are nothing more than an existence in the copy, including that little girl, they were originally ghosts, what's it got to do with you? You don’t have to be responsible for them!”

Jiang Ling was practically gnashing his teeth while speaking these words, unconsciously, Gu Wuji had already occupied a very important position in his heart. Anyway, he didn’t want to see Gu Wuji die because of this kind of thing.

Gu Wuji looked at him with some surprise, not expecting Jiang Ling to be so concerned about him like this. He reached out a hand and touched Jiang Ling’s shoulder in an appeasing manner, then said with a smile: “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine, I’m just doing something that must be done, that’s all. You should wait for me there, I’ll rush over there later.”

Jiang Ling saw Gu Wuji’s resolution with his eyes, and determined what the other person thought. He realized, that in Gu Wuji’s perspective, these ghosts on board probably have the same status as them, and he was incapable of stopping the other person.

That’s right, when all was said and done, these departed spirits, really had an existence just like that of a real person, but they simply never recognized that, but to Gu Wuji’s perspective, maybe everything was different.

Jiang Ling had suddenly been stricken with fear, but remembering all kinds of things that Gu Wuji had done before, once again felt that he would certainly not meet an accident like this, after all, he had survived when confronting those ghosts before……and he still needed to go and watch Zheng-ge and those people, to prevent them from running first before Gu Wuji returns.

“Alright, then I will go first. We made an agreement, you must definitely return.”

Jiang Ling tried his best to make his tone a bit calmer, then turned around after speaking, and headed to the location of the lifeboat together with the other people.

At this moment, there was already a ghost that waiting at that side who seemed to look just like an ordinary waiter.

The captain looked to Gu Wuji’s direction with uncertainty, not knowing what he still wanted to do, “What do you want to stay around for?”

“I will destroy this cruise ship.” Gu Wuji said, he had already thought about this at an earlier time, as long as this cruise ship disappears, those departed souls that were trapped here can also be naturally freed.

In the previous inquiries to the evil god that had befallen Auston’s body, the other side also responded to him like this, proving Gu Wuji’s guess, that this ship’s curse has already become the root cause of all the nightmares on this cruise ship.

“What?” The captain was stunned, and looked at Gu Wuji like watching a fool, “Can that even be accomplished by you alone?

But upon recalling that Gu Wuji had surprisingly been even able to call upon the god, he suddenly felt, that it was him who might have been the fool.

That’s right, this matter is impossible for me to do by myself.” Gu Wuji looked at the captain with a trust filled gaze, letting the latter’s body feel a sense of pressure, “But with you the captain, that will not be the case.”

The captain was immediately silenced, indeed, he was very clear in where the weak points of this ship was, as he had personally seen all the renovation blueprints after all, if he handled it, making this ship sink would be a very easy matter.

“But, why must I listen to you? This cycle, from you, this ordinary person’s perspective is very terrible, but from our perspective is the supreme glory and honour.” The captain originally wanted to be a bit sinister, but not knowing the reason why, when facing Gu Wuji, he had a subtle feeling.

Soon after, Gu Wuji meaningfully glanced at ‘Auston’ who was at the side and to the captain’s amazement, nonchalantly said: “What if your god also asked for this?”

The captain’s eyes almost popped out, in his opinion, this kind of action coming from Gu Wuji was an absolute blasphemy! Killing him several times would still not be enough!

But the great god did not seem to be angry, and swept the eyes a few times over Gu Wuji instead.

The captain soon noticed, faint flashes of light from the veined pattern on Gu Wuji’s arm, how-, how could-……that be, why could this ordinary person have this veined pattern on his body!

After the captain thought about it, his whole being had already been incomparably horrified, when looking at Gu Wuji again, the attitude already had a great change of 180°.

He had reluctantly maintained a good attitude towards Gu Wuji and the other people just for the god’s interest, but the heart was still very unreconciled. But now, the captain’s heart had already produced a respectful meaning towards Gu Wuji, the attitude towards Gu Wuji was simply like a son towards a father.

“Since it’s your command, I am certainly willing to obey.”

……

The lifeboat floated on the sea surface, Zheng-ge and the other people sat on it, and anxiously looked at the cruise ship that was close at hand.

In this direction, how much terrible this colossal cruise ship was could be felt even more, the surrounding atmosphere made people tremble with fear, with the feeling of not being able to return alive once it had been boarded.

They wondered how they themselves had actually been able to leave from this cruise ship alive, in the past, the frightful events that happened these past few days, would have already been enough to let them die several hundred of times.

Jiang Ling vigilantly looked over them, after all, Zheng-ge and the other people initially had the intention of leaving just a moment ago, it was only after they suddenly discovered that there were innumerable departed spirits hidden beneath the surface of the water, which immediately frightened them that they didn’t dare move an inch.

These departed spirits didn’t dare approach the vicinity of the cruise ship because they seemed to be frightened of something, but if the lifeboat went out a certain limit, these departed spirits would definitely climb up on the lifeboat directly!

If the situation really turned out like that, there would be no place they could escape in this boundless sea, and could only wait to die. Zheng-ge and the other people immediately changed their minds, and said that they would wait here for Gu Wuji’s return.

But it has now been a while, and there had still been no whatsoever news of Gu Wuji’s activity.

“When will Gu-dage actually return?” Zheng-ge heaved a sigh, truthfully speaking, he this kind of middle-aged man actually addressing Gu Wuji as dage, made Jiang Ling feel very uncomfortable since earlier on.

“Maybe he has already--”

“Shut up!” Jiang Ling looked at the man who had just said this in a very fierce manner, and almost couldn’t help but kick this guy into the water, “Nothing will certainly happen to him.”

These trashes being able to survive and be here, yet Gu Wuji was unexpectedly still on the cruise ship, really made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

“Even though Gu-dage is very powerful, but he actually still wanted to save all these people aboard this ship, how can this kind of thing actually be accomplished, ah?”

“Yeah……moreover, summoning the evil god, will it really be this easy? It must also need to cost something, right?

Their words also happened to poke the concerns of Jiang Ling, he then looked at the situation of the cruise ship with extreme concern, hoping to be able to see the figure of Gu Wuji appear.

Only at this time, smoke had emerged at the corner of the cruise ship, which immediately attracted everyone’s line of sight.

“That is?”

They soon realized what the smoke they smelt on the air meant, the cruise ship was on fire.

……

Gu Wuji was still carrying Auston who still seemed to be unconscious on his back, who was actually still possessed by the evil god, rushing all over the cruise ship, constantly lighting fires in all places.

As for the captain, he had already complied with Gu Wuji’s commands, and had headed down to tamper the bottom of the cruise ship.

But Gu Wuji believes that, letting this cruise ship sink normally, and generally felt that the problems would still appear again. Wanting to completely resolve the problem, required for this cruise ship to be thoroughly destroyed.

The surrounding ghosts of the tourists were confused at first, and was completely unable to tell what this living person was doing……but soon, they realized Gu Wuji’s purpose, a hint of hope ignited in the pair of eyes that were originally lackadaisical.

They had already been trapped on this cruise ship for such a very long time, and had never considered that they could still be free for even a moment.

But such a day had actually appeared, they looked at Gu Wuji with deep feelings of gratitude.

The ghosts even started to show Gu Wuji the way, guiding him. Letting Gu Wuji reach his objective with the shortest speed.

Under Gu Wuji and these subservient ghosts, this cruise ship soon went up in huge flames, a loud rumbling sound was heard coming from the cabin below, which was obviously what the captain had done.

The white dressed young girl suddenly appeared in front of Gu Wuji, with an anxious look, “You have to hurry up, otherwise if when this ship completely sinks, you will also……

“I know.” Gu Wuji nodded his head, and quickly ran forward, but stopped his steps the moment the edge of the deck was reached.

The lifeboat can already be seen on the sea below, but his body was like being pulled to a stop by something, and was unable to move forward for even the slightest bit.

‘Auston’ who had always been behind Gu Wuji reached out his hand, covering both of Gu Wuji’s eyes, letting everything he sees fall into darkness.

At this moment, Gu Wuji who had been standing on the edge of the ship even had a faint feeling of falling into the sea, he couldn’t breath under the pressure of the surrounding seawater, the mind became increasingly dizzy, as if a layer of fog had been attached to his consciousness.

A voice that’s generally capable of fully captivating the people’s heart just like a siren’s song rang within Gu Wuji’s mind.

“I had an interest to you right from the start, even though there were other living people who have entered this ship by mistake, but you were obviously completely different from everyone else.

“Compared to this cruise ship toy that is already boring, you are my favorite new plaything.”

“The price of summoning me, is exactly you, yourself.”

Stay here, ok?--

Forever by my side.

Even Gu Wuji, instantly felt a feeling of trance, the mind fell in confusion, so much that even his initial purpose had been forgotten.

He even thought, that he from the start had no intention of leaving, and wanted to stay on this ship……because in this place, there was someone he wanted to be with forever……

“No!” A voice suddenly sounded, that managed to instantly awaken Gu Wuji.

The hands that were originally covering both of Gu Wuji’s eyes loosened, Auston’s own voice sounded from the back, his words were trembling, but was unable to hide his determination, “You can’t stay here, you have to leave!”

“Auston?” Gu Wuji turned around, and looked at the other with surprise.

He was clearly still being possessed by the evil god, yet Auston had actually been able to retain his consciousness?

Auston stood behind him, sinister blue veins had already emerged from that single red eye, the veined pattern in that eye rapidly spreads to the surrounding skin. Auston reached out his hand to strenuously cover that single eye, the other blue eye contained some sadness.

It was impossible for ordinary ghosts to break away from the control of evil god, but because only a part of this evil god was attached to the body at the moment, so the strength had already been greatly reduced, coupled with the poor state of this cursed ship, it actually allowed Auston to forcefully take back a part of his consciousness.  

“I had always been troubling you from the beginning, doing a lot of whimsical things, I’m really very sorry……but you had always been protecting me, doing so much things for me, and had never left me behind.” Auston words were very awkward, as if he had great difficulty in organizing his language.

Without fully remembering that he had already died, he had once imagined the future of being together with Gu Wuji after leaving this cruise ship.

But now……

“Even though I really hoped, to always being with you all the time, but this is impossible.” Auston’s face was already filled with cold sweats, his body was also very stiff, realizing that he was about to lose control over his body, he finally gritted his teeth and hurriedly said to Gu Wuji: “I wish more for you to continue living than to stay!”

Gu Wuji’s heart felt shock, “Wait--”

Before he could say anything else, Auston had suddenly rushed over, directly knocking him off the boat without warning. When Gu Wuji fell off from the ship, a voice could still be vaguely heard coming from above.

Although it was soon dissipated in the wind, but Gu Wuji had still been able to clearly hear it.

At the time a loud bang was heard coming from the ship behind, Gu Wuji had fallen into the ice-cold seawater at the same time as this, but the explosion’s blast caused a sharp pain at his back, that fresh blood spreads out in the water……but as a result of this, the surges of the sea’s wave came about to push Gu Wuji away.

Seeing that the lifeboat wasn’t too far away, Gu Wuji struggled to swim over.

Jiang Ling swiftly paddled the lifeboat, wanting to pull Gu Wuji up more quickly.

But at this time, the departed spirits emerged from below the surrounding sea one after another. Zheng-ge and the other people were so frightened that their complexion greatly changed, but still braced themselves as they paddled the lifeboat together with Jiang Ling.

Even though their character may have a bit of an issue, but they also wouldn’t go as far as to leave Gu Wuji to sink or swim at this moment.

Unexpectedly, these departed spirits after getting close to Gu Wuji, did not drag him underwater, but pulled him instead, making him move closer to the lifeboat.

Jiang Ling who had been anxiously waiting there since before immediately grabbed Gu Wuji’s hand, and pulled Gu Wuji up together with Zheng-ge at the side.

The woman on the boat looked at the departed spirits in the water with some shock, “They are actually helping……

“There’s still a bit of conscience.” Jiang Ling quietly said, feeling that these ghosts have more humanity than some people.

Seeing the raging flames nearby, as the cruise ship slowly sank in the water, a lot of departed spirits could still be seen standing above. Everyone was somewhat dazed, not expecting that they would actually be able to see such an amazing scene.

Gu Wuji strenuously propped his body up, even him, after being hit with such an impact also felt like the bones of his entire body was falling apart, the back even seemed to be on fire.

“You should rest for a while……” Jiang Ling couldn’t help but be anxious.

“It’s nothing, it’s not over yet, I still need to do something, give me a hand.”

Jiang Ling immediately supported Gu Wuji. He had already learned not to ask what the other person was going to do, anyway, if Gu Wuji wanted to do something, there would certainly be no problem.

The other people also had this same idea, they had already been thoroughly convinced by Gu Wuji.

Gu Wuji looked at that cruise ship for a moment, and finally thought of Auston who pushed him off the ship, then slowly closed his eyes and used the purification skill which had never been successfully used before.

With the sinking of the cursed cruise ship, all the departed spirits had now been freed from their bondage, their resentments had also ceased to exist, the purification skill could finally be of use.

Everyone had originally been clueless on what Gu Wuji actually wanted to do, but soon, after seeing the scenes that had appeared before their eyes, their heart had already been shaken to the extreme.

Whether it was on the cruise ship or below the surrounding seawater, the body of those departed spirits gave off a white light, the originally very sinister appearances reverted to their look before death, the painful expressions also became calm and peaceful.

They gave Gu Wuji a grateful look, as their bodies soon turned into white lights, floating up to the sky, then dissipated in midair.

The originally gloomy sky, that would seemingly break out a storm soon, the dark clouds at this moment had actually scattered gradually, the sunshine spilled from the gaps of the dark clouds, shining upon the cruise ship and the sea’s surface below.

Floating in the air were countless shining white spots, this view was simply just like a scene that would only exist in a dream.

These departed spirits that had been trapped for who knows how many years, at this moment, had completely obtained freedom.

  11. Wow, I legit got shivers when I read that last part. Gu Wuji is so cool! And funny haha.

    I couldn't help but feel sorry for Auston and the rest of the ghosts, but at least they're no longer tied down to the cursed ship. It's also a relief that the ghosts and Gu Wuji's teammates (?) still have a conscience and would still try to help him out after all that he did. I'm really tired of generic cannon fodder who act so unreasonably only to be killed.

    This is such a fun and interesting read! Looking forward to more. Thanks for translating!

  13. Hasn't the ML always just done whats best for MC despite his own wishes? This is why I feel like Auston is ML between the two. Either that or they're two parts of one soul or something, maybe something somewhat similar to game loading or befriending the most powerful person??

  14. Waaaaaaaa so beautiful! That was truly a marvellous ending !! Auston, I’m in awe! This arrogant and childish son of a rich family actually moved me! I usually don’t like these types of characters, but reading this whole Cruise ship arc, I’m fond of him from the start! Ahhh, Austoooooonnnn ~! At least they are all purified and can move on. Thanks for the translation!

  15. I think Auston and ML evil God are two sides of the same coin, bc even before Wuji summoned the evil god, Auston's eye was already like that at the banquet. Just maybe he wasn't awakened or aware yet. Or just a dual personality aspect, where both his conscious and subconscious states fell in love. Either way //sobs AUSTON!!! You were the real champ this arc~! Thanks for the chap~

  17. I left this chapter crying my eyes out..!!!! Auston 😭😭😭😭

    I haven't even reach the end but I'm already crying, because I know they will part ways. Will they ever meet again, I wonder?

    Thank you for translating this! I didn't expect I will cry like this, it's been a while since I found a good read.

  19. /Without fully remembering that he had already died, he had once imagined the future of being together with Gu Wuji after leaving this cruise ship./

    /“I wish more for you to continue living than to stay!”/
    (╥﹏╥)

    Dude,Auston... This really made me tear up a little. It was so short yet so sweet.

    Besides that, I really love how Jiang Ling is so concern and loyal to Gu Wuji. He's like his little brother. So cute. I hope he shows up again in the future.

    The last scene gives me *shiver* It's so beautiful. I'm so happy all those ghosts finally were able to move on.
