Chapter 385: Chapter 385 Abnormality

What’s going on, déjà vu?

Yu Wenxuan knows about this thing, even if not in Fog Gathering, déjà vu is a common experience.

The majority of people have had similar experiences—suddenly feeling that they’ve "personally witnessed a certain scene somewhere before or experienced certain events."

More often than not, these experiences stem from descriptions of dreams, as if people saw certain scenes in their dreams but forgot them, and then when encountering these scenes in reality, they feel a sense of "just like before."

At this very moment, Yu Wenxuan is puzzled by this eerie déjà vu.

However, the eerie part lies here.

If he truly experienced an event here, but just forgot.

Then the déjà vu should be directed towards the ship or the surrounding environment.

However, the fact is, he only feels this strange sense of "déjà vu" towards the woman named Lin Xiaohui.

At this moment, the two of them are completely exposed under the moonlight.

Incredibly strange, Yu Wenxuan heard a voice—

[They watched with their eyes wide open.]

[Watched it sink.]

[Watched us sink.]

[I cannot close my eyes, I must remember each of them.]

[The seawater seeped into my nostrils, my lungs burned.]

[The propeller spun, slicing off our heads.]

[The terrifying power came from above our heads...]

[We watched in horror as our spines were pulled from our bodies.]

[Our bodies gnawed by a gaping mouth.]

[Our skin cannot breathe.]

[This night is our death sentence.]

[The seawater turned blood red, even the moon reflected in the sea was red.]

[Life ends here, grudges never die.]

[No one can be forgiven.]

[Until sinking into Hell.]

A sudden female voice appeared like a murmur by Yu Wenxuan’s ear, he heard every word of this monologue clearly.

And from the first moment he heard the voice, he was certain of its owner.

She... Lin Xiaohui.

This abrupt "monologue" was indeed Lin Xiaohui’s voice.

However, when he looked at Lin Xiaohui on the deck beside him under the moonlight, Yu Wenxuan realized she hadn’t spoken a word, nor did she hear any sound.

She was still occasionally glancing fearfully inside the cabin, worried about those spine-headed figures chasing after them.

This woman...

Yu Wenxuan turned his head to think, Lin Xiaohui had just recounted how she painted this ship, he was always a skeptical person, yet he didn’t question the truthfulness of her story.

Now it seems.

Even if everything Lin Xiaohui said is true, it is only true from her perspective.

Perhaps she doesn’t even know what she really is.

For example...a ghost.

This voice...this "monologue" identical to Lin Xiaohui’s voice, tells an entirely different story.

Yu Wenxuan quickly pieced it together, it seemed like an accident happened on a ship, there was some supernatural power on board, some were devoured, some had their heads ripped off along with their spines, some drowned alive underwater...

And while everything was happening, another group was watching it unfold, not only without any rescue efforts but seemingly with other secrets involved.

Yu Wenxuan’s eyes flickered, he needed to find a chance to slip away.

This woman is truly unsettling; as soon as he was exposed to the moonlight, he heard such an eerie "monologue," yet she heard nothing at all.

Additionally...

The man in the suit who suffocated in the cake, presenting a drowned state.

The floating head on the ceiling also perfectly matched the description of heads being torn off in the "monologue."

At this moment, the ship was eerily silent, after the man in the suit’s death, all the tourists seemed to have disappeared in an instant.

Looking at it this way, they are indeed all "dead people," just like Yu Wenxuan’s initial guess.

These people aren’t necessarily ghosts, but they are definitely not human.

The man in the suit’s death must have triggered something, which led to the series of events that followed.

This Lin Xiaohui, she hasn’t even realized the truth; even if what she said about the "painting" is true, why does her painting have such a horrifying effect?

Able to create such a realistic and terrifying space?

Just a slight thought gives it away; she herself is the fierce ghost that brought all this to life, just hasn’t realized it yet for some reason.

No, being beside this woman is too dangerous; he can’t stay any longer.

Yu Wenxuan slowly retreated, his agility and light movements allowing him to slip away unnoticed by Lin Xiaohui.

Under the moonlight, Lin Xiaohui continued to look fearfully into the cabin. Yu Wenxuan took one last glance at her; regardless of what Lin Xiaohui might encounter, Yu Wenxuan had made his decision, and it would not waver.

However...

Yu Wenxuan, expressionless, watched in the moonlight as Lin Xiaohui, seemingly out of fear, instinctively took out the pendant necklace around her neck, holding it in her hand as if in prayer.

Yu Wenxuan only glanced briefly.

It was... an ordinary crystal pendant.

But the next moment, Yu Wenxuan was struck as if by lightning!

In all this time, no one had ever seen such a clear emotional upheaval in Yu Wenxuan.

He panted heavily, chest heaving.

His eyes were full of disbelief.

The steps that had been slowly retreating immediately halted, and Yu Wenxuan quickly stepped forward, roughly grabbing at Lin Xiaohui’s chest.

Lin Xiaohui gasped in shock, instinctively covering her chest, questioning as she dodged: "What are you doing?!"

However, Yu Wenxuan had already opened his palm.

He had grabbed what he wanted.

Yu Wenxuan was actually a little nervous.

He wasn’t usually like this, but his hands were beyond control.

Clearly, it was a cold pendant, but it burned like a red-hot iron.

His right hand... slowly opened.

A crystal prism the length of a pinky finger lay quietly in Yu Wenxuan’s palm.

Lin Xiaohui then realized that Yu Wenxuan wasn’t taking advantage of her, but seemed interested in her pendant.

"This is a Spirit Pendulum Pendant, why... what’s wrong?" Yu Wenxuan’s expression was truly frightening, and a sense of fear arose inexplicably within Lin Xiaohui, causing her to take a step back, asking in a soft voice.

At this moment, Yu Wenxuan slowly reached into his own collar with his left hand.

With Lin Xiaohui wearing an expression as if she had seen a ghost, he took out an identical pendant necklace, even the string was exactly the same!

The crystal prism glistened under the moonlight, making it difficult to discern its original color.

But no matter how you looked at these two necklaces, they were identical...

Lin Xiaohui slightly shook her head, murmuring in disbelief: "Impossible... this is impossible!"

"Who... who exactly are you?"

Yu Wenxuan took a deep breath, suppressing the emotions surging within him, along with the childhood memories he thought long forgotten.

"Just a coincidence, I’ve worn it since I was very young, it’s been a long time."

However, upon hearing this, Lin Xiaohui became more terrified and anxious, snatching the two pendant necklaces from Yu Wenxuan’s hand.

She held them up to the moonlight, slowly rotating the prism crystal.

Suddenly! She shuddered...

"Impossible..."

"This one too... is a necklace I made myself..."

"Exactly... the same."
