When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 1005 - 386: Eerie Ship (Part 2)

Li Xiu didn’t enter his own room; instead, he walked to the adjacent room, grabbed the door handle, and tried to push it. The door didn’t budge—it must have been locked.

Trying again would be useless, so Li Xiu returned to his room, closed the door, and lay down on the bed to rest.

The room’s setup was very simple, with only a remarkably beautiful bed. Li Xiu recalled that he might have seen such a bed before; this item shouldn’t count as a bed, as in ancient times it was called something else. He must have seen it on a computer before but hadn’t paid attention to its name.

As he closed his eyes to rest, before he fell asleep, he suddenly heard a rhythmic knocking on the door—two knocks, followed by a pause, then another two knocks.

"Who?" Li Xiu recalled the chairman saying that while on this ship, no matter who knocks, one must never open the door.

"Knock knock..." There was no reply from outside, only the knocking sound persisted.

"Who is it exactly?" Li Xiu frowned and demanded.

"Knock knock..." No reply, just the continuous rhythmic knocking—two knocks, a pause, then another two knocks, followed by another pause.

Seeing that no one responded, Li Xiu simply ignored it, closed his eyes, and went back to sleep.

Seemingly aware that Li Xiu had no intention of opening the door, the knocking sound strangely disappeared, which, instead, piqued Li Xiu’s curiosity.

"Why did the chairman say not to open the door if someone knocks? Is this really a Ghost Ship, and the knocking was from a ghost?" Li Xiu didn’t hear any footsteps leaving, and he was very curious. He really wanted to open the door to see what might be outside.

But Li Xiu managed to restrain the impulse in his heart and continued resting with his eyes closed. Shortly after, he fell asleep.

Li Xiu dared to sleep for a bit longer, guessing that he had slept for about six hours before waking up, then called out, "Xiao Yue."

Originally, he thought Xiao Yue wouldn’t be able to hear him, but shortly thereafter, he heard footsteps outside. Before long, those footsteps reached the door, and then the door was pushed open as Xiao Yue entered.

"Young master, what are your orders?" Xiao Yue asked respectfully. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Have any demon spirits appeared outside?" Li Xiu inquired.

"We encountered a few demon spirits, but they’ve been dealt with. Young master need not worry; ordinary demon spirits can’t board the ship," Xiao Yue explained quickly, considering Li Xiu might be worried about dangers.

"Were they Divine Position Demon Spirits?" Li Xiu hadn’t heard any sounds, nor sensed any battle fluctuations, feeling somewhat puzzled.

This ship is large, but if a battle occurred with his current keen sense ability, he should not be completely oblivious.

"No, they weren’t," Xiao Yue shook her head and said, "just some ordinary demon spirits."

"Oh." Li Xiu nodded, then looked at Xiao Yue and asked, "Before I went to sleep, someone knocked on the door. Do you know who was knocking?"

"Knocking? How could someone be knocking? Besides you and that gentleman, there are no other guests on board. That gentleman is still in the cabin; without your call, we can’t come here, so no one should be knocking on your door," Xiao Yue looked confused.

Li Xiu frowned inwardly but, seeing Xiao Yue’s expression, knew further inquiry would be fruitless. Thus, he came up with a thought and smiled, saying, "Xiao Yue, can you take me to see where you live?"

"That’s not quite appropriate. You’re a distinguished guest; how could you go to a place like where we live..." Xiao Yue hesitated.

Seeing Xiao Yue hadn’t directly refused, Li Xiu just smiled and said, "The ship will be at sea for at least half a month, and it’s really quite boring. Why don’t you take me on a little tour?"

"Alright, if the young master doesn’t mind, then follow me," Xiao Yue said without refusing further, leading Li Xiu out of the guest room.

Where Xiao Yue and the others lived wasn’t accessed from the same entrance as the clients. They took a lap on the deck before Xiao Yue entered a door. Inside, there was a narrow staircase leading downward, also made of wood.

The entire ship was made of wood; Li Xiu didn’t see a single nail, as if everything was constructed with mortise and tenon joints.

Following the narrow staircase down, there was a long corridor. On the two walls, at intervals, there was a bead that resembled a Luminous Bead; there were no electric lights in here—not even oil lamps. The beads’ dim glow was the only source of light for the dark corridor.

Fortunately, Li Xiu wasn’t afraid of darkness; he had the ability to see in the dark, so it didn’t bother him.

The corridor was long, and after a turn, it remained a corridor. If it weren’t for the doors along the way, Li Xiu would have doubted whether he was walking through the same corridor.

After several turns, Xiao Yue stopped in front of a door and, somewhat embarrassed, said to Li Xiu, "Young master, this is where we live. Are you sure you want to go in?"

"We’re here now, let’s have a look. Do I need to greet your sisters first?" Li Xiu thought for a moment and asked.

After all, if it’s a place where young girls live, he feared seeing something inappropriate.

"No need." Xiao Yue shook her head, reached out, and pushed the door open.

As the wooden door slowly opened with a creak, Li Xiu curiously glanced inside, eager to see what the place where these young girls lived looked like.

But once he clearly saw the situation inside, his expression changed drastically.
