Chapter 69 The Poseidon Sets Sail
The demon's figure finally disappeared from sight.
Megan went limp and collapsed into a hug with Li Yuan beside her.
"Oh my god...this is terrible..."
Megan asked Li Yuan in a low sob:
"Why can it be attached to the cross...?"
Li Yuan gently patted Megan's back and explained softly:
"The devil's favorite thing to do is to blaspheme God."
"Therefore, the targets they choose to possess are mostly devout believers."
Meghan found Li Yuan's words hard to believe.
She stared wide-eyed in surprise and asked blankly:
"Then why doesn't God care?"
Li Yuan looked at Megan's incredulous expression.
A meaningful, faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips:
"Would you care about the safety of the ants under your feet?"
Li Yuan's words silenced Megan.
The religious beliefs that her stepfather had instilled in her shattered at this moment.
Megan subconsciously touched her neck; the cross hanging there was gone.
For a moment, she felt that it might not be a loss, but rather a relief.
Seeing that Megan seemed somewhat dazed, Li Yuan helped her up and whispered:
"Let's sit on the deck chairs; you don't look well."
Megan nodded absentmindedly.
Li Yuan walked towards the recliner.
The struggle between Li Yuan and the demon went unnoticed by others.
Everyone assumed that it was just a quarrel between the young couple.
This is an extremely ordinary thing.
At this moment, the Poseidon's loudspeaker was still broadcasting emergency escape instructions.
And the news that the Poseidon will set sail at 10 o'clock sharp.
Li Yuan helped Megan to a recliner and sit down to rest.
Megan suddenly leaned close to Li Yuan's ear and whispered something:
"Can I lie here and hold you for a while?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan glanced at the size of the recliner and hesitated for a moment.
But when their gaze met Megan's sapphire blue eyes, filled with dependence,
I nodded subconsciously.
Li Yuan could only pray in his heart:
Hopefully, this chair is of decent quality...
The two of them squeezed together on the chair and lay down.
Passengers passing by would turn their attention to the two of them.
However, some people's gazes towards us carried a hint of mockery.
Some, however, were full of disdain.
Megan ignored the stares of the others.
Instead, she held Li Yuan in her arms, closed her eyes with a slight smile.
Perhaps it was because they had just been harassed by demons and exhausted their energy.
Soon after, Megan fell into a deep sleep.
At 10:00 AM sharp, the captain's greeting came over the intercom of the Poseidon:
"Distinguished guests, crew members, good evening. I am Captain McIlroy."
At this moment, the Poseidon has completed its departure preparations and is about to officially set sail, beginning our transoceanic New Year's journey.
May the sea breeze accompany you on your wonderful voyage tonight. Poseidon, we are here to protect you.
The broadcast has ended.
As the captain's broadcast ended...
The Poseidon also emitted a deep rumble as it slowly sailed away from the port of San Pedro.
Megan, nestled in Li Yuan's arms, rubbed her eyes and asked with some confusion:
"Am I asleep?"
"Of course, you even snore."
"There's no way around it, I really do sleep better in places where I feel safe."
Megan laughed and joked, then lazily stretched.
Li Yuan smiled and helped Megan up, preparing to get up and go to the restaurant for dinner.
But the next moment, he suddenly felt as if someone was watching him!
Li Yuan turned his head alertly to check his surroundings.
After all, they had just been attacked by demons.
This made him tense again after he had relaxed.
He instinctively felt that this trip would probably not be smooth sailing.
Sure enough, as the gaze shifted,
Li Yuan unexpectedly spotted a familiar figure!
*Splat!*
A doll with messy hair struggled and fell onto the deck by the ship's side.
Li Yuan, looking somewhat surprised, briefly exchanged a glance with the doll on the deck.
The doll's body stiffened instantly.
Then, with decisive strides, it vaulted over the railing with its short legs.
He jumped into the vast ocean.
The instant it jumped,
Li Yuan seemed to hear curses coming from the other person's mouth...
"Mommy! Chucky's been blown away by the wind!"
A blond boy standing on the ship's railing looked sadly at his mother.
The doll he was holding in his arms accidentally fell into the sea.
"It's okay, Mom will buy you a new one."
The woman didn't care at all. She pulled her son, who was looking at the sea with reluctance, and quickly walked towards the cabin.
Li Yuan stood up, looked at Chucky the ghost doll floating on the sea, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
He sighed inwardly:
No wonder Chucky is a Class C vengeful ghost; he can actually resurrect...
At this moment, Megan also stood up, and she said to Li Yuan in a coquettish tone:
"Let's go eat quickly, I'm starving."
"Okay! Let's go."
Li Yuan secretly regretted the missed opportunity and accompanied Megan to the cruise ship's restaurant.
The ticket for the Poseidon includes meals, but special requests will incur additional charges.
The main restaurant, which was already open for business, offered a Western-style buffet, mainly featuring seafood, steak, and desserts.
To maintain her figure, Meghan professionally ate only a little seafood.
This restrained eating habit began when she entered the entertainment industry at the age of 14.
Li Yuan looked at Megan, who had put down her cutlery, with some surprise.
With a curious look, she asked, "Are you really okay eating so little?"
Megan smiled wryly and explained helplessly:
"There's nothing we can do; the entertainment industry always has very high standards for small characters like us."
If I can't maintain a good figure, I might lose my job.
Megan's words reminded Li Yuan of a movie he had seen in his previous life.
It tells the story of a female star's rise to fame.
It seems there's a scene in it where an agent forces a female star to diet in order to maintain her figure.
At this moment, Megan suddenly stood up, smiled, and said to Li Yuan:
"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom."
Li Yuan nodded and watched Megan leave the restaurant.
But just as Li Yuan was shifting his attention back to the food,
Two burly men, acting suspiciously, also quietly stood up.
He followed Megan.
Shortly after, Megan, having touched up her makeup, left the restroom in a good mood.
She was looking forward to a memorable New Year's Eve.
Unlike some bustling restaurants,
The corridor was unusually quiet at this moment; there wasn't a single person in sight.
Megan listened to the 'thump-thump' sound of her high heels on the floor.
I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"I should have asked Li Yuan to come with me..."
Megan, her eyes darting around, muttered something under her breath.
I subconsciously quickened my pace.
Just then, Megan suddenly noticed the end of the corridor.
A burly man whose face was obscured stood upright.
Upon seeing this, Megan instinctively stopped in her tracks.
But then, a series of hurried footsteps came from behind!
Megan leaned nervously against the wall and looked behind her.
He discovered another burly man with his head down, approaching him at an extremely fast speed!
Seeing this, Megan panicked.
Although there were people ahead of her, she was still somewhat frightened and ran towards the end of the corridor!
Seeing this, the burly man behind him also sped up.
Just as the burly man was about to catch up with her,
Suddenly, a man's vulgar cursing voice came from the end of the corridor:
"Hey! You big oaf, what are you doing blocking the way?"
As soon as the man spoke, the burly man behind him stopped in his tracks.
The burly man at the end of the corridor remained silent after being insulted.
He simply turned around silently and left the corridor.
Megan breathed a slight sigh of relief after the two left.
She raised her hand and patted her chest to calm herself down.
At this moment, the man who had chased away the burly man slowly stepped into the corridor.
He was wearing a casual suit and sported curly hair; his eyes lit up when he saw Megan.
He then walked forward whistling and said in a flippant tone:
"Hey beautiful, you look familiar, we must have met somewhere before~"
