Days on the cruise ship ( Part 6 )

Better said it was as if someone else was master of her body but still her mind was clear. She kept hearing the cries of the ghosts around her, she kept seeing everything in front of her but she simply couldn't do anything.

[Ding!]

[Friendly moment: the host's ability 'I will judge anyone I see' is strongly activated.]

'Say something useful.'

Anka now quietly observes what will happen. Her 'body' grabbed several chains. These, as far as she could tell, belonged to Len, a young man who served the 'griffin' Klyuev...

With one pull, all the chains broke and the phantoms tied to him (Len ) turned into balls of light and then compressed into something like pearls.

They all flew into Anka's hand. A total of 12 pearls that corresponded to twelve people. Some pearls had impurities on them and others were almost clean...

Anka's mind when she saw the scene of souls transformed into pearls was shocked.

'Is this how my ability is used?'

Then when the balls landed on the palm , images like a movie came to her mind. Anka wanted to scream but her 'body' was controlled by the skill.

It felt as if hammers were hitting the head. In just a few seconds she had to bear the memories of two people and this continued for three minutes. Even if she was not now the master of the body, it showed sweat on the forehead matched with a pale face...

'Huh .. ah... agh...'

Anka vowed to keep her mental clarity but she almost couldn't anymore. She was forced to look at the memories of those souls as a third person existence but still she was little influenced by what she saw.

Now she had a much more real and vivid picture of what the apocalypse was like on earth and how the population was reduced to such a small number...

She thought to heard the system prompt when she was in pain but she couldn't hear anything now...all she could get was background static...

For the first time she wanted to lose control and let loose. And as if by a miracle in the next moment you feel control over your body again...

Anka could not know that from outside her body was enveloped in a black mist and her eyes shone brightly in red...

She move her hand for a moment and then jump...

'I have my body again...'

She probably figured out cause and effect but didn't have the mental energy for it anymore... He went to the balcony of her room.

From there, jump boldly straight down. There was another balcony below. The 2nd floor was where the staff and helpers stayed, so people's rooms were there.

Although she never asked anyone where them sleep she knew that the servants' quarters were directly below the master's quarters. It's just that the master's room is big and the servants have one more cabin, so there can be dozens of rooms in which they should search.

This balcony was completely connected with the others. I mean the servants shared a common balcony which helps Anka enormously if she wanted to find the person named Len.

During the search she used a grade C instant energy raising potion and bought one for magic. She didn't have the time or inclination to look at the panel but she suspected that both statutes were now almost dry...

After a few minutes of searching, the pearls in her hand fluttered in a direction, announcing to Anka that she was approaching.

For Lan, this scenario was trivial. He had survived hell on earth and now coming to take care of the pampered universe he was very angry.

After he was used to him being the hunter of those 'alien' beasts , now that he felt and saw the superiority of those guests , an unprecedented anger and fear slowly consumed him.

Now he really wanted to see blood. This was one of the secondary signs when using the skill. His ability was a special one that raised him to 11th place on the earth power table but he preferred to be solo.

The name 'Lan' was a pseudonym he used to avoid attracting unwanted attention. His power was a very useful one but it only went once every 3 days and the side effects were the intensification of the body's desires, which for him was bloodlust, wine and smoking.

And right now in the middle of the night he couldn't sleep because he was going to cause another panic on the ship. It was best to sink the ship and let the alien monsters perish here.

What he hadn't noticed was that some red eyes were watching him through the balcony door. Black fog surrounded the room in silence and the sounds were cut off...

Anka came to this Lan.

She had a plan in mind, crude and simple but sufficient. She wanted to torture him in exactly the same way he killed someone...

To do this requires care and attention, so with a thought the black mist had covered the entire floor. Anka silently buys another magic potion.

Lan who opened the cabin door with the intention of going to the lower levels to sabotage the vessel. But what he saw was a dark hallway.

He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt very afraid.

Anka watched as the color of her emotes changed to a light brown with satisfaction…

Then she grabbed the black mist and thought to shape it into a sickle , she believed that the scythe was the closest symbol of death in her opinion and scaring someone like that was much more possible.

Thus the fog listens to her idea and condenses in the form of a sickle. Anka caught it and to her surprise it felt like ice. An idea then came to her but she left it in the back of her mind to solve it later. Now she wanted to have some fun.

Lan hesitantly walked down the hall, but no matter how hard he looked for the stairs, he couldn't find them. Drops of sweat fell like rain on him and he clutched the saving object he had.

He knew how dangerous the scenarios were, so there was no way he could come unprepared, but he still felt uneasy. Then there was a sound like the crawling of a worm on a stone.

He looked back to see a woman dressed in black with a mask on the lower part of her face, she had black hair and eyes glowing red, but the most visible thing was the long black scythe she was dragging behind her.

Lan ran without thinking. Intuition told him that that person was dangerous. He didn't know how far he ran, but when he stopped, a body appeared in front of him.

He was hoping to be another man to team up and understand what was going on, but when he put his hand on his shoulder it went through him. Lan looked in horror at the incorporeal body in front of him ready to run away again…

The ghost turned to him. Lan froze on the spot. The face in front of him was that of his older brother whom he had betrayed so long ago... The memories he wanted to forget resurfaced...

'How was Lancelot at school?'

'Normally I support you, we are brothers, if not you, who?'

'Lancelot don't do that, it's not a solution...'

The scene where he stabs his own brother to survive a scenario, was still vivid in his mind even though it was 2 years ago.

What every man who had survived said was that the first scenario was the cruelest of all. The scenario 'What is a people? ' it was a real hell.

The scenarios were made in such a way that people had to make choices in crisis situations to show the behavior of the system. Under the scenarios were as follows: 'Do I have feelings ?' 'Do I have memories?' 'Do I have dreams?' 'Do I have life?'

This scenario only lasted a week but took half the population.

And Lan to get his special power killed his own brother in that scenario. Now he was standing in front of him again but his brother was no longer looking at him gently but with anger and disgust...

< How did you get like this Lancelot?>

Lan wanted to scream but something seemed to have grabbed his jaw. He wanted to run away but someone or something was holding him... He could only look at his older brother who had a hole in his chest with fear.

< I watched you kill people after people and I was thinking 'is this my brother?' >

Then the brother's ghost began to walk as if giving a lecture in front of a class.

< No. You are not the brother I knew, because you always behaved one way with me and another with others.>

< You used me from the start to finish !>

The brother's ghost began to gesticulate angrily.

Lan nodded quickly, but his brother's face only grew uglier.

< And you're lying to me again . You're always just lying!>

With that his hand stabbed towards Lan's heart, but the saving object in his hand glowed and the body was intact. The brother's ghost turns to smoke as a result...
