Ship of Dead (2)

___________

"Welcome, guests, to the Ship of the Dead!" The voice reverberated throughout the room, its strange tone reminiscent of someone speaking with water in their mouth.

The spirits in the room were all drawn to the voice, their gaze filled with fear and terror.

"I have prepared a special meal for all our guests. Please enjoy." With that, the man vanished from sight.

Within the ship, shadowy figures moved about, carrying a dark tray. The tray held a concentrated blood crystal and a small white object—perhaps a soul—restlessly knocking against the crystal, crying out for help.

As the spirits on the ship caught sight of the tray, their attention fixated on it. Without wasting a second, they eagerly devoured the crystal.

Red veins coursed through their bodies, accompanied by a satisfied "Aaah" that escaped their lips.

In less than 10 minutes, the headless host reappeared with a smile, his floating head positioned above his body.
