Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 256

Sheng Nuan saw in the phantom that the ship was sailing on the vast ocean… Then the scene flashed, and she saw the ship encountering a storm…

Such a large ship, on the vast sea, looked like a tiny dinghy, swaying and tossing with the wind, as if it could be shattered by the waves at any moment.

After the storm passed, the people on board survived, but not long after, they discovered they had veered off course…

The ship’s instruments failed, and in unfamiliar waters, they couldn’t determine their direction.

The captain and the crew tried to find their way by the stars at night, but they realized that the starry sky above was not the one they were familiar with, and there were no constellations they knew by heart to use as references.

Countless days and nights passed, the ship’s supplies were depleted, and people transformed from initial joy to fear and despair. They had no food or fresh water, sitting on the deck with numb expressions.

Then, they saw a head emerging from the sea…

It was a merman, who should only exist in legends… The merman gestured to the people on board, then swam in one direction, turning back to wave at them.

The merman was guiding them…

The people on board felt a surge of hope, and under the merman’s guidance, their ship gradually approached the original course and the familiar waters day by day.

There was no food on the ship, and they couldn’t catch fish, so the merman called his kind to catch various things for them to eat—fish, octopus, crabs… everything. The taste was unpleasant, but it could satiate hunger.

But the number of mermen was limited; the food they caught was not enough for all on board…

The ship drew closer to the familiar sea area, but every day more and more people on board died.

Those mermen were helpless, but they couldn’t speak, only silently shedding tears and striving to catch more food… However, that little food was nothing compared to the needs of hundreds or thousands of people.

Even the crew and captain on board couldn’t hold on any longer… The familiar route was visible in the distance; they would soon be home, yet they just couldn’t hold on anymore.

Seeing the bucket of sea fish mixed with crabs and octopus brought by the sorrowful mermen, the captain’s Adam’s apple rolled violently, then he suddenly cried…

That day, after gaining strength from eating the food brought by the mermen, the captain led his crew to capture the dozen mermen who had escorted them all the way, unsuspecting and defenseless… and shared them as food with everyone on board!

Those mermen couldn’t speak, and when they died, they only screamed and cried in terror and confusion…

The dozen mermen saved the lives of hundreds barely clinging to survival on the ship, and from afar, the people on board saw a cruise ship appear on the horizon.

Everyone cheered and cried… They could go home!

But just as they embraced and wept, they suddenly stopped.

A thick sea fog appeared before them, and when it dissipated, they discovered that the ship had once again lost its way.

They were about to go home, but they could never return.

One day, a black fog enveloped the entire ship, and those who had fallen on board stood up again, transforming into the very things they had once eaten.

Since that day, the ship floated in the unknown vast sea, with no end…

Occasionally, a lost ship would encounter this ship, and then be devoured by it…

In the next instant, the phantom faded away.

Sheng Nuan knew that what they had just seen must be the origin of this monster ship.

Everyone felt very heavy-hearted, but at that moment they couldn’t afford to blame anything because they couldn’t hold on either.

In the phantom, the faces of the people on board with sunken cheeks flashed continuously; they felt as if they had been starving for a very long time, to the point of losing their sanity, and even having no strength to continue walking…

Sheng Yue leaned against the wall, gasping for breath, and turned to Sheng Nuan. “Sheng Nuan, share the food in your bag with everyone… I really can’t hold on anymore.”

Ji Chengzhou gritted his teeth. “That’s enough!”

Sheng Yue subconsciously wanted to retort, but Sheng Nuan threw the backpack at her head into her arms, “Here, take it all.”

Sheng Yue violently opened the backpack, only to see it was empty inside… she cried.

Sheng Yue was truly crying, while crying she leaned against the wall and collapsed down onto the steps. “You promised, you promised Mom and Dad you would bring me back safely, Sheng Nuan. This is what you owe the Sheng family, what you owe me, this is what you owe us…”

Sheng Yue cried and screamed, Ji Rong’s eyes showed coldness and he was about to speak, but was held back by Sheng Nuan.

Sheng Nuan’s stomach was also burning. She took a deep breath and glanced at Sheng Yue. “Then just sit here and cry, see who else owes you, shout it all out together.”

After saying that, she pulled Ji Rong, gritted her teeth, and continued to move forward.

The rest of the people struggled to keep up… Seeing this, Sheng Yue hurriedly stood up holding the wall, chasing forward with difficulty, “Don’t leave me behind, don’t leave me behind…”

In the next instant, as if the seemingly endless steps had suddenly reached their end, the group found themselves on the third floor.

The third floor was open, more like a deck on top of the cabin. Standing there, they could see the surrounding sea from the deck, and at the end of the deck was a gate of light.

Everyone’s spirits lifted. They knew that the gate of light represented the exit of life… but on the corridor in front of them stood a figure blocking their way.

It was a monster dressed in a captain’s uniform, its entire body covered in pitch-black scales, vaguely humanoid in shape. It had sharp, webbed claws, and its eyes were eerie, with only a small black dot in the center, the rest clouded in grayish whites.

It was the captain of this ship… Just sitting there, it exuded a terrifying aura of death, extremely frightening.

And most importantly, they were now out of strength.

If it had been before, at worst, everyone could charge forward together; there was only one person on the opposite side, they could fight to the end…

But now, they could barely support themselves to walk, let alone fight desperately. The other side could knock them down with just a single finger…
