Following the receptionist with a circle on his face, Gao Yi and Zheng Qiqing were led into a lounge with equally luxurious decoration.

Dark green velvet curtains hung from the arched lintel, and the brass bells at the end of the tassels made a muffled sound when the door was pushed.

Passing through this barrier that was better than nothing, Gao Yi was able to glimpse the luxury inside this huge ship for the first time.

The central column was transformed into a constant temperature wine cabinet, and precious wines with labels from various countries were arranged in the glass door.

Three groups of brown leather sofas formed a semicircle, and the armrests were polished to a glossy luster. If you tapped them gently, you could see the warp and weft patterns on the surface of the calfskin glowing matte under the ceiling light.

Zheng Qiqing's high heels just stepped on the Persian carpet, and a wave-like bulge suddenly arched under the dark red velvet, as if something alive was swimming from the depths.

The pink-haired girl did not say much, but just shook her head slightly at Gao Yi behind her, indicating that this was normal.

But... is this really normal?

Putting aside the secret of the entire "Silver Moon" for now, the scene in the lounge is still shocking enough.

After the receptionist said "Please wait" and left temporarily, the two people in the room relaxed again.

Zheng Qiqing, who was already familiar with this kind of scene, jumped and collapsed on the leather sofa the moment the receptionist left.

Taking off the high heels that looked extremely heavy, the pink-haired girl let out a comfortable breath, and said to Gao Yi in a lazy tone:

"I'll take a rest first, and call me when someone comes."

It can be seen that she is really tired wearing this outfit.........

Gao Yi didn't disturb Zheng Qiqing's rare rest time, and his attention was attracted by something else.

On the walnut paneled wall, there is a somewhat strange painting.

The edges of the gilded frame are slightly dark, and the oil painting above is more eye-catching.

It was a flat painting of a classical oil painting, with brushstrokes as wild as a whirlwind, depicting a ship sailing in a rainstorm or blizzard.

At first glance, the ship in the painting was so fragile that it seemed that the next wave could blow it down.

But if you feel it carefully, you can see its stubbornness and strength, as if there is some unspeakable spirit supporting it.

"Snowstorm-Steamboat Leaving the Port", the author is Joseph Mallord William Turner. It is said that before he painted this painting, he tied himself to the mast in the blizzard, just to witness the scene on the sea with his own eyes-he was sixty-seven years old at that time."

Turning his head, the girl on the sofa behind him spread her pink hair from the back of the chair and looked upside down at Gao Yi.

It can be seen that the various "noble courses" she received when she was a child included classical aesthetics and art.

But for Gao Yi, the reason why he paid attention to this painting was not-at least not just because of its beautiful picture.

More importantly, as a [mystic], he felt something unusual from the painting.

This is not just an ordinary painting, it seems to contain some extraordinary power.

Perhaps touching and conducting more tests can find the truth, but in this secret-filled "Silver Moon", this is obviously not a rational move.

In the end, Gao Yi decided to put it aside for the time being and study it later.

But in any case, this ship, as the territory of the [boss], should not be underestimated.

At this time, the footsteps on the carpet outside the door came from far away.

In a moment, the creaking sound of the door hinge pierced the silence, and the employee wearing a white circle mask walked into the lounge with a silver-plated tray.

Judging from the body shape and posture, this is not the same person as the receptionist just now.

"Please wear your exclusive masks and make sure not to take them off during the dance."

The mechanical sound came from behind the mesh mask, and the two black full-face masks on the tray glowed with cold light.

No need to explain more, the ownership of the two masks is already clear.

Gao Yi's mask has dark wavy patterns etched on the edge, a high nose bridge, and sharp edges and corners, which seem to fluctuate with the wearer's expression.

Zheng Qiqing's mask looks radiant, with many broken diamonds inlaid on the cheekbones - the same cutting process as her pain bag lock buckle.

Although he already has such a [Mist Mask], it doesn't prevent Gao Yi from wearing another one.

After a brief look at the pink-haired girl, he put on his own black mask.

The edge of the black leather mask is pressed with dark gold lines, and three ridges are raised on the nose bridge. It will automatically absorb when it fits the face, and the adjustment strap behind the ear is also printed with the same dark wavy patterns as the invitation letter.

Some things just can't stand comparison.

Think about the auction held by the "Jiujiang Rock Music Society", which also asked customers to wear masks, but those masks were all low-quality plastic products.

The patterns on the top are even more varied, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Ultraman, anyway, how childish they are.

Gao Yi seriously suspected that the "Goodbye Jack" bought it at a roadside stall........

Looking at the "Ripple Masquerade" now, the texture and material of the mask need not be said much, and it is even a customized style for the customer.

After wearing it on his face, Gao Yi felt that this mask has some kind of camouflage ability.

Although the effect is far inferior to his own [Mist Mask], it is enough to protect the identity of the visitor.

Every detail really reveals professionalism...

As the mask was put on, the waiter took the so-called "contract" from his tray and handed it to Gao Yi.

The way he unfolded the parchment was like shaking out precious cloth, and the letterpress-printed paper in his hand looked a bit more noble:

"Since this is your first time at our ball, please sign the contract first. Of course, you can also refuse, but you will not be able to participate in tonight's 'Ripple Masquerade'."

It was still the emotionless electronic sound, and Gao Yi also came back to his senses a little. It is estimated that there is some kind of voice-changing device hidden under the mesh masks of these employees.

Without dwelling on these, Gao Yi reached out and took the contract and browsed it at high speed.

The content above is basically consistent with the previous speculation.

Confidentiality, security, and uninterrupted transactions are enough to summarize the entire contract.

Of course, there are still some noteworthy contents above.

........................................

"It's a completely unfair clause..."

Looking at the parchment in front of him, Gao Yi couldn't help but sigh.

"We will provide services worthy of such terms." The waiter on the side remained professional, took a few steps forward, and half-knelt in the constant temperature wine cabinet, "Excuse me, what would you like to drink?"

When Zheng Qiqing ordered an expensive cocktail that he had never heard of, Gao Yi had already signed the name of [Investigator-Sheep] with ease.

This is the good thing about having a vest. If it doesn't work, just blame the "sheep" - isn't that what scapegoats are used for?
