As dusk approached and the sun began to set, the last rays of light lingered in the sky, and the full moon appeared against the backdrop of the sunset.

On the road leading to the dock, Kogoro Mouri and Sonoko, dressed as vampires and witches respectively, were already in the car heading to the dock, as requested by the ill-timed Halloween party.

"The full moon is really round this time." Kogoro Mouri looked out of the taxi window, and Sonoko turned to look too. "It really is. This feeling is just like the bloody party atmosphere described in the invitation."

Kogoro Mouri's face lit up with excitement: "Great! I'm getting excited! Let this great detective see who dares to provoke us!"

At the seaside pier, a cruise ship that looked deliberately decorated as a terrifying ghost ship was docked on the shore. The tattered masts and sails, billowing in the sea breeze, together with the dim sky, really created a chilling atmosphere.

Outside the set-up passageway, a long line of "monsters" dressed in black suits were waiting to attend the party.

Kogoro Mouri and Sonoko stood in the group, curiously looking at the various monsters on both sides.

“There are werewolves, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, mummies… oh, and zombies!” Kogoro Mori began to identify them one by one, while Sonoko looked at the monsters and said, “This is really exciting!”

Kogoro Mouri turned his head and said, "Huh? What's all the fuss about? And what kind of monster are you dressed like?"

"How rude of me! I'm a witch!" Sonoko said, turning around and holding up the broom in her hand. "Didn't I take a broom? And my excitement is because, unlike Ran, I'm most interested in planting activities, just in case..."

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the line. Sonoko was jostled and stumbled backward, but luckily a pair of hands caught her. Sonoko looked up and saw a face. Half of the face was painted bluish-black with gold patterns. The pure black eyes indicated that it belonged to a handsome young man. But the other half of the face was completely different. It was a skeleton with white bones, and bright red blood flowed from the eyes of the skeleton.

This eerie face is so realistically drawn that it exudes both a strange beauty and a chilling fear.

"Miss Witch, be careful!"

"Ah...thank you."

Sonoko shivered, straightened up, and looked at the person who had helped her. The person had medium-length black hair and was wearing a black Chinese-style formal suit embroidered with gold bamboo patterns.

"Ok?"

The other person seemed to have come with a companion. Hearing the noise, his companion also turned around. His beautiful, pale face was painted with black lines, and his blood-red eyes revealed another half of him as well, bare bones, with red spider lilies growing where the skull's eyes should have been.

She had medium-length white hair and wore the same black Chinese-style formal suit, only with white bamboo-patterned trim.

"What...what are you all dressed up for?" Kogoro Mouri asked curiously.

The white-haired youth raised the bell in his hand and shook it. He grinned and a long, bright red tongue fell out of his mouth as he laughed, "Black and White Impermanence."

He originally wanted to transform Furuya Rei into a ghost bride, but she resolutely refused to wear women's clothing. In the end, he could only regretfully pack the bright red wedding dress into his suitcase and bring it over.

After all, the party is going to last two days, so there will be plenty of opportunities to wear it.

That's right, the Black and White Impermanence are Jiang Jin and Jiang Gu Ling in disguise.

"Black and White Impermanence? I see... Your drawings are just too good." Sonoko tried her best not to look at the other half of their faces.

“It’s all thanks to him.” Furuya Rei pointed at Jiang Jin. “He was the one who did the drawing; I was just sitting there.”

At this moment, a monster with a terrifying face painted on it at the back of the group made a "woo-woo..." sound and kept making movements with its head.

"Huh? What is he going to do?" Kogoro Mouri turned around and asked, puzzled.

Rei Furuya glanced behind him; there was a large empty space in front of him. "Oh, I'm so sorry, he probably meant for us to move forward."

So the line started moving and headed towards the registration area.

"Honestly, why didn't you just say it more clearly?" Kogoro Mouri said as he walked.

A woman wearing a hat, standing behind him, said, "Because he wanted to completely immerse himself in it."

"Eh, are you also a beautiful witch?" Kogoro Mouri's expression changed as he struck up a conversation.

The other person smiled, took off her hat, and her hair was covered with tiny black snakes.

"Medusa... Medusa!"

The staff at the registration desk pushed the form over: "Please show me your invitation and sign your name."

Jiang Jin lowered his head and wrote "Yu Gong Jin" at the registration desk, then handed the pen to Furuya Rei, who also left his name.

After Kogoro Mouri and Sonoko finished signing their names, Medusa and the Invisible Man, who were behind them, also left their names.

"You are..." The staff member looked up in surprise upon seeing the signature on the roster. The invisible man raised a finger. "Shh, thank you."

At the very back of the line, a guest dressed as a witch hesitated to go forward and sign in.

"Hello, guest, aren't you going to sign in? The party is about to start."

The witch glanced at her watch; the party was scheduled to start at 7:30, and there were still fifteen minutes left.

"Why haven't they arrived yet..."

At 7:30, all the invited guests boarded the ghost ship one after another. The cabin was very dark, and ghosts and monsters gathered together.

"Why don't I see Vermouth?" Furuya Rei whispered from a corner. Jiang Jin's gaze swept across the crowd, and he said lazily, "She's an organizer, so she'll probably be the last to appear."

As Jiang Jin spoke, his gaze fixed on a ghost with a wrinkled face. He suddenly walked in that direction, and Furuya Rei asked, "What are you going to do?"

He waved his hand without answering Furuya Rei. Vodka, who had been observing the people on the ship, suddenly saw a young man with strange makeup walking towards him, and felt inexplicably nervous.

But then he thought, since he's disguised like a ghost, he won't be recognized.

"Old Fu, you're here too." Jiang Jin walked straight over, put his arm around Vodka's shoulder without saying a word, and forcibly pulled him back. "Uh... Du, Du Yago. How did you recognize me?"

Jiang Jin chuckled, and instead of answering, asked, "What, did the boss send you?"

Vodka stammered, "No, I just came to join in the fun."

"Don't pretend, Lao Fu. It's because the higher-ups suspect Vermouth that the boss sent you over to check things out, right?" Jiang Jin said jokingly.

Vodka choked: "Okay, that's true. But, Big Brother is really unhappy about you getting involved with Vermouth in this kind of mysticism."

"What do you mean by 'flirting'? Don't you know how to use your words?" Jiang Jin led Vodka to a corner, and Vodka thought to himself that these were his older brother's exact words. Furuya Rei raised an eyebrow when he saw Jiang Jin bringing people over. "This is?"

Jiang Jin smiled, and the skull painted on his face grinned as well: "Vodka."

"you are?"

"Bourbon."

Vodka felt ashamed, thinking to himself that it was good his older brother didn't know Bourbon was there, because his older brother also disliked Bourbon, who also loved to be mysterious.

Suddenly, all the candles in the dimly lit cabin came on and lit up the cabin, eliciting gasps from everyone.

On a high platform in the center of the ship's cabin, a man dressed as a pirate captain suddenly appeared, raising his hands high: "All you ghosts and monsters who tread between life and death! I am the ghost captain of this ship, you can call me Captain Gao De! The banquet will begin in an hour!"

"What a pity, why didn't Touko agree to dress up as the ghost bride?"

“I saw the Baptist pack that set of clothes into his luggage.”

"Ghost Ship Battle Royale".

"Player, you have entered the Ghost Ship instance."

"The Immersed God might be the boss."

"With Jin Shen's makeup skills, creating a cosplay is a piece of cake."

"Is this what a killer's professional ethics are?"

"I laughed. I can already see Yukiko and Kudo."

"Since Ai Haibara isn't here this time, is Shin Kudo the one who came?"

"I've taken a screenshot of the makeup for the Black and White Impermanence characters. Could you please release a tutorial, Master Jin?"

"Hilarious! A killer transformed into a beauty blogger?"

"Reiko looks so well-behaved when she's been made up."

"Playing murder mystery games on this ship is really exciting."

"I really want to participate too!"

"I randomly found a vodka while I was immersed in the God of Wine."

"I laughed. Why use the word 'flirt'?"

"Gaode? I'll pay Baidu double whatever they offer!"

As soon as Captain Gao De appeared, the scene became lively: "Before the banquet begins, please find your companions! Those who share the same mark are your companions!"
