Weird Apocalypse: Rebirth Starts with Trillions of Ghost Money

A strong feeling of suffocation hit him, and Chen Mu's face turned red.

He tried to breathe, but as soon as he tried to inhale, he couldn't help but cough loudly.

If this continues, Chen Mu will die of suffocation within a few minutes.

Chen Mu quickly scanned the deck, and in the middle of the deck, he saw the swimming pool filled with water.

The blood of the two previous players was placed in the swimming pool. The water in the swimming pool has been changed several times, and it is now clear water.

Chen Mu dove directly into the swimming pool, submerging his entire body into the water of the swimming pool.

Including Chen Mu's nose, everything was submerged in the water.

Surprisingly, Chen Mu's feeling of suffocation disappeared in the water of the swimming pool.

Chen Mu was in the water of the swimming pool, breathing heavily. The water flowed into Chen Mu's lungs, but Chen Mu felt as comfortable as air.

No, this is not water, this is air!

The words that Mrs. Weird said that killed her were when Chen Mu mixed a drink for Mrs. Weird in the bar. After finishing her drink, Mrs. Weird said "Thank you for the air."

It was these words that sent Mrs. Weird to her death!

Because this sentence already tells the way to life:

On a Mist Cruise, air and water are opposites.

This is a typical fantasy-type weird scene!

In his previous life, Chen Mu had experienced strange and phantom scenes. After entering the strange scene of the fantasy world, the player will fall into some kind of illusion.

If you can't see through the illusion, you will die!

After the Mist Cruise sets sail, air and water are opposites on this eerie ship. The water the player sees is actually air; the air the player sees is actually water!

In the fantasy of strange scenes, players gain a certain ability - the ability to breathe in water!

Players appear to be breathing air, but in fact they are breathing water.

As for the water on the ship, such as the water in the swimming pool, the wine in the wine glass, and the water flowing out of the faucet, it is actually air.

Players are trapped in a fantasy world where water and air are opposites in the foggy cruise ship.

Those weird things kept reminding Chen Mu to "pay attention to light and shadow", just to tell Chen Mu that the refraction of light in air and water is different.

By observing the refraction of light and shadow, if you are careful enough, you can realize that you are not in air, but in water.

As for the uncoordinated layout in the guest room, Chen Mu deduced it after knowing the answer and understood the reason.

The incongruity in the guest room is actually the removal of things that can float in the water.

For example, a piece of toilet paper does not float in the air, but it can float in water.

If there is toilet paper in the guest room, then after returning to the guest room, the player picks up a piece of toilet paper and will see the toilet paper floating in mid-air.

This would reveal the illusion!

Therefore, the guest rooms, and even the entire cruise ship, are cleared of light and thin objects that can float in the water.

When Chen Mu observes the cruise ship, he will find that there are many incongruities in the cruise ship.

Other players should have noticed it, but they subconsciously thought that Weiwei liked this arrangement and did not continue to think about it.

So the question is, there is water everywhere on the ship. Wouldn’t the water soak the carpets and towels and let the players feel it?

This is the characteristic of fantasy and weird scenes!

In fantasy-type weird scenes, the fantasy will block some "crossing" shots to prevent players from seeing through the escape route at a glance.

For example, water can soak carpets. On cruise ships, this is actively blocked. Players will feel that the carpet they step on is dry and warm.

So the question arises again, since it can block the "crossing" lens, why not block the light and shadow effects? Why not block the penetration scene where thin objects can float?

This is the highest rule of strange missions - a way out must exist!

If in the player's field of vision, the light of water and air are the same, and light objects (such as pieces of paper) in the water will not float, then in the player's eyes, there will never be a chance to see through this illusion!

This means leaving no way out.

Chen Mu guessed that the final BOSS of the Mist Cruise must have faced many choices when designing the weird scene:

For example, in a fantasy world, what characteristics of water can be retained? What characteristics of water can be hidden? There must be rules behind this.

In the end, Big BOSS made the following settings after some choices:

It retains the characteristics of floating thin objects in the water and the characteristics of light refraction in the water.

It hides the touch of water, so that players cannot instantly realize that they are in the water; it hides the characteristics of water that can wet objects, so that players cannot see through wet carpets, towels, etc. to find a way out...

After some choices, the foggy cruise ship was arranged into a strange fantasy scene.

After seeing through all this, the illusion instantly shattered before Chen Mu's eyes.

In Chen Mu's field of vision, there was a piece of blue water. The entire ship was sailing quietly in the water, and everything was soaked in the water.

The water in the swimming pool also returned to its original appearance and turned into the air of a swimming pool.

However, at the moment when he saw through the illusion, Chen Mu also lost the protection of the illusion—losing the ability to breathe in sea water.

So Chen Mu couldn't breathe for a moment. After a brief surprise, he immediately came to his senses and plunged into the swimming pool, breathing heavily in the air of the swimming pool.

"If you discover the way to life in advance, it is also the way to death."

Chen Mu lay on the bottom of the swimming pool, breathing in the air and couldn't help but sigh.

The water flowing in at the lowest level of the deck is actually the air flowing in.

This is a ship that travels on the water. In seven days, the cruise ship will enter the air.

At that time, if the players have not seen through the illusion and have not come out of the illusion, then the players will subconsciously think that they cannot breathe.

Chen Mu guessed that by that time, if the player did not see through the illusion, the player would be suffocated to death in the air.

But Chen Mu didn't expect that on the second day, he would see through the illusion in advance and lose the ability to breathe in the water, and he would almost be suffocated to death by the sea water.

In this weird scene, if the player fails to see through the illusion, he will eventually die; if the player sees through the illusion too early, he will also suffocate to death in the sea water.

If ordinary players want to survive, they must see through the illusion sooner or later when the cruise ship completely enters the air on the seventh day, so that they can breathe freely in the air.

It won't work if it's too early, and it won't work if it's too late.

No wonder only two or three people out of more than 2,000 people were able to get their wages alive.

It is indeed a hell scene at the level of the King of Creatures, and the difficulty is high enough!

Fortunately, Chen Mu is not an ordinary player and has many means at his disposal. Even if he lost the ability to breathe in the water, he would be able to survive the next few days.

After relaxing in the swimming pool for a while, Chen Mu was ready to leave the swimming pool.

He rummaged through the ring, looking for any props.

Before Chen Mu could find it, a round ball was suddenly thrown into the swimming pool.

"Put it on and you can breathe underwater."

The captain's voice came from outside the swimming pool.

This round ball is a bit like an astronaut's helmet.

After Chen Mu put it on, he found that he could breathe normally.

Chen Mu jumped up, left the swimming pool, and returned to the deck filled with sea water.

Walking on the deck, Chen Mu could clearly feel that he was walking on seawater. The entire cruise ship was sailing on seawater.

"Boss Chen, you are so smart. I knew you would find it." The captain said with a smile.

"Haha, thank you for your help." Chen Mu said.

This wasn't a compliment; it was indeed thanks to the crew's tips. If it weren't for these tips, Chen Mu would have eventually found a way out, but it would have definitely been a few days later.

"Your fog cruise ship is very strange." Chen Mu came to the railing, leaned on it, and said to the captain.

Since Chen Mu has found a way to survive, the captain doesn't have to worry about letting the cat out of the bag and being executed by the rules, so there is nothing to hide.

"Boss Chen, what do you think is strange?"

"Every night, 'seawater' leaks in on time. What leaks in is actually air, right? This is very strange." Chen Mu said:

"If this cruise ship is sailing deep in the ocean, where does the air come from?

Could it be that the final boss, the Ghost King, draws air from the sea surface every day and injects it under the deck on time?

To be frank, I've seen so many weird bosses, but none as hardworking as this one. They just want the weird scenes to run on their own, without going through so much trouble."

Hearing Chen Mu's words, the captain smiled and revealed a mysterious look:

"Boss Chen, have you ever considered that the cruise ship is actually sailing normally? It's actually the sea and the sky that are upside down?"

"What do you mean?" Chen Mu suddenly became interested.

There is indeed something strange about this ocean shrouded in fog!

The captain said slowly: "We call this ocean the 'Inverted Sea'.

In the Inverted Sea, the sky and the ocean are opposites, and the ocean is actually suspended in the sky.

Mr. Chen, you can imagine a cruise ship sailing normally on the sea. Now let's transform the sea water into the sky and air, and the place where the sky and air used to be becomes sea water.

This is the situation we are in now.

The cruise ship sails at the junction of sea and sky. Beneath the ship lies the vast sky. Mr. Chen, if you stick your head over the railing and look down, you can even see the vast starry sky.

Oh, by the way, there is fog all around now, you shouldn't be able to see anything.

The entire cruise ship was sailing in an upside-down ocean, and the thousands of meters above our heads was all vast ocean."

There was obvious surprise in Chen Mu's eyes.

Even though Chen Mu had lived in a strange apocalypse for five years and was considered knowledgeable, it was the first time he heard of such a scene.

Suddenly, Chen Mu remembered that when he asked the driver to fly the private plane into the inverted sea, the driver had told Chen Mu that he felt the plane was encountering greater resistance.

Now it seems that this is actually a small clue.

This small clue actually suggests that the sky above the Upside-Down Sea is actually the ocean. When a private jet flies in seawater, the flight resistance is naturally greater than in air.

Chen Mu looked around and saw that the entire inverted sea was shrouded in thick fog.

As the private plane continued to descend, Chen Mu saw splashes of water outside the window and thought the plane was going to fly into the sea.

Looking at it now, the plane should have reached the junction of the sea and the sky. If it had gone a little lower, it would have flown into the upside-down sky.

"It's really strange." Chen Mu sighed silently.

After seven days, all the ships will be sailing in the sky.

Chen Mu simply couldn't imagine that at the upside-down junction of the sea and the sky, a black, more than ten meters high ship was sailing in the sky.

Above the giant ship is a vast ocean like jelly, crystal clear under the sunlight.

What kind of scene is this?

Chen Mu admitted that this was one of the most spectacular and bizarre scenes he had ever heard of.

If there were no fog, Chen Mu would be able to look up and see the sun and starry sky across thousands of meters of ocean.

Unfortunately, the Upside-Down Sea was covered in fog, and everything was obscured by it, so no scenery could be seen at all.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu pointed to the bottom of the ship and asked, "How high is the upside-down sky? How many thousand meters high?"

Facing Chen Mu's question, the captain shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't answer this question.

I only know how to steer a cruise ship and sail across the inverted sea. I never knew how high the sky above the inverted sea was.

Chen Mu looked at the fog under the railing. Even though he was a ghost general, he did not have the courage to jump down and fall into the foggy sky of unknown depth.

What lies beneath the fog? What lies at the end of the upside-down sky?

New questions swirled in Chen Mu's mind.

"Where is the end of our journey?" Chen Mu asked again.

If Chen Mu guessed correctly, the seven-day voyage of the Mist Cruise would eventually reach a certain destination.

At that end, something different must be happening.

The captain said: "The destination is a deep rift valley called the Polar Abyss, located deep in the Inverted Sea.

The Polar Abyss isn't shrouded in fog. Once you get there, you'll be able to see its true form.

But I have to warn you, the closer you get to the destination, the more strange things will happen on the cruise ship."

"strange things?"

"Yes, you'll soon find out the details. Tomorrow is the third day of our journey, and it should be the last normal day."

From the fourth day of the journey, those strange things will start to happen.

Mr. Chen, I wish you a nice evening."

After the captain finished speaking, he said goodbye to Chen Mu and went to the bridge on the deck.

Strange things will happen later...

Chen Mu wandered around the deck alone for a while, then returned to his supreme guest room to rest.

On the third day of the trip, everything was normal.

Because Chen Mu was wearing a helmet, he did not interact with other players under the captain's persuasion, but stayed in the supreme guest room all day.

According to the captain, Chen Mu's outfit is likely to reveal his whereabouts, and he will be punished according to the rules.

Time passed minute by minute, and when Chen Mu woke up from bed again, the fourth day had arrived.

"Is something strange going to happen?"
