Chapter 1503: The Undead

Laws are just a piece of waste paper if no one enforces them.

But rules and laws cannot be completely equated.

For example, gravity is a basic physical law. If anti-gravity, which often appears in science fiction stories, can be realized, it will definitely be a major breakthrough in basic science because it directly changes the laws of physics.

The level of this civilization is much higher than simple interstellar travel.

The people of Earth are still bound in the cradle, anti-gravity?

You've 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 as difficult as breaking the rules of physics.

So the man said, your Earth does not have the power to destroy this ship.

Although he gave a relatively clearer and simpler method, the difficulty is still beyond the current technological level of the earth.

Gan Xiaoyan wasn't sure if she could do it, but she was sure to ask for information.

So she said:

"You mentioned earlier 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 the undead."

Lei Lei glanced at the cards in her hand and immediately refuted:
"Impossible, they don't have ghost energy."

"Okay, okay, I said they are undead. This is just a figure of speech. It is very troublesome to explain their existence. It is enough for scholars to write several books. I will try to keep it simple."

He pointed to the other guests huddled in the shadows:
"I'm not lying. They used to be guests of this ship. Now they are just shadows left on this ship. They are the ghosts of the dead."

Your simple description is incomprehensible.

What kind of undead undead?

"It seems that you have no understanding of the shadow world at all."

Gan Xiaoyan asked, this is also a way to expose her own intelligence, perhaps because of this, the man did not object.

"Most of what you see are just shadows. As I said just now, this ship is very special. It has a physical body in the material plane and a physical body in the shadow world, and the ship can switch between the two entities freely. It was already so special before it sank. After the sinking, the Order Tribunal salvaged it from the shadow world and made some modifications to it."

The man held up a finger and placed it under the light, and could see its shadow cast on the table.

“Shadows exist based on entities. Without entities, there would be no shadows. But what if the two were combined into one?”

"This is impossible."

"Nothing is impossible, my lady. The world is much bigger than you think. In fact, as you can see, this ship is a combination of two things. It exists and it doesn't exist. Just as you can't kill your own shadow, you can't destroy this ship."

The man changed his tone and said:

"These passengers are the ones who died on the Blue Eye Princess, but they don't think they are dead. They shouldn't have appeared, at least not in their current form, but the Order Tribunal merged the shadows and entities into one, resulting in their appearance. These people are actually closer to residue, just like when you write on paper with a pencil, even if you erase it, there will still be traces left, so I say they are actually the ghosts of the dead."

These explanations were still difficult to understand, and Gan Xiaoyan kept them in mind.

"Then is the wine we drink also like this?"

"No, it is indeed real wine. As I said earlier, this ship is a fusion of shadow and entity, but it still retains some real things."

"But why wine?"

"I don't know about that. I wasn't there when the Blue Eye Princess sank, nor was I when it was salvaged and rebuilt. I guess it's because the wine didn't belong to the Blue Eye Princess. It was just something extra, so when the shadow and the entity merged, the wine was left behind."

The man suddenly patted his cowboy hat:
"Oh, I accidentally said too much. So, ma'am, do you want to open the cards or give them?"

Lei Lei looked at the two cards in her hand:
"I want cards."

"I don't want any more, ma'am, you can ask for cards anytime until you are satisfied."

He seemed very confident, as if he was sure to win.

Gan Xiaoyan continued to ask:

"I want to contact my companions, but the intercom is not working." "That's normal. Everything in this ship must operate according to its rules. As far as I know, all communications must be used in the room, at least one party must be in the room."

"You mean the cabin?"

"There are places other than the cabin where you can use it, but they are relatively few. But I must remind you that the captain of this ship does not like things like radios. If you use them in the corridor, he will target you."

The man explained, and finally said:
"Do you have any more questions? This is the last round. If you have no other questions, let's open the cards."

Gan Xiaoyan is most concerned about four issues: the ghost ship, the Order Court, who are you, and how should we meet up.

But apart from the ghost ship, he has evaded all other questions. He won't tell you even if you ask him further, so there's 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, let's open the cards?"

"Before that, there is one thing I need 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 energy. You cannot defy the constraints of the rules with your ability."

"I'm not trying to escape, I'm trying to confirm."

"What do you want to confirm?"

"this!"

As Lei Lei spoke, she slapped the card table with her palm, and a hole was directly blasted in the middle of the exquisite wooden card table. Lei Lei seemed to reach out and grab something from the hole.

"You've been cheating all along!"

Gan Xiaoyan stretched her neck and saw that there was a hand under the card table. Lei Lei grabbed the wrist of that hand.

"You secretly used a trick under the table to change the face of your cards."

"After all, the rules don't say you can't cheat."

Indeed, the rules were not written at all next to the card table.

The man admitted openly:

"I don't really like gambling at all. I just like to find loopholes in the rules. Now that you've caught me, can you please let go of your hand?"

Although I really want to turn hostile, the threat level of this person is unclear, so at least he is being friendly now.

Lei Lei snorted softly, clenched her wrist tightly, and then let go.

The man changed his sitting position, and now Gan Xiaoyan and Lei Lei could see that a long and thin arm was sticking out from his belly, which looked like a spider's leg.

There was a human hand on that arm, which was the one Lei Lei had just grabbed.

Now there is a glowing golden ring on it, and you can vaguely see some wonderful words flowing, just like a bracelet.

"You can't cast spells with it now. Show the cards."

The man was not annoyed, but looked at the ring on his hand with interest.

"Interesting, is it a ban or a seal? Never mind, I'll study it later. I'll do as you say. Open the cards."

The man has 13+8 in his hand, which should be exactly 21 points.

But when the card was turned over, the suit twisted a little, revealing its original appearance.

5+8, 13 points.

Lei Lei scored 13+4+3 points.

"I had a lot of fun. I really shouldn't have gotten 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 into the shape of Jiang Zhe.

The man also stood up and seemed to want to leave, but Gan Xiaoyan said:

"The bet just now was that if we win, you have to release my companions."

She stared at the man and said:
"I have more than one companion."
