Fog world

Hua Binan is on his way back to his cabin when his surroundings change. Things become grey, foggy and somewhat dreamlike, but he has enough of his wits about him to realize that this is probably one of those strange occurrences that supposedly happens frequently on this ship. Strange, and unsettling, but it shouldn't be dangerous.

He hears faint screams and wet, chewing noises that set his hair on end, but he tries to ignore it until things return to normal. As much as that is possible. He will try to seek out others when things are normal, mainly to make absolute sure that he isn't the only one experiencing this.


It gets worse

A couple of days later, Hua Binan is anxious, but so far, he's been able to handle the strangeness. Of course, that's when things get worse.

It starts with a voice in his ear, cold and admonishing: "Shi Mingjing, what have you done?"

"Shizun?" Hua Binan turns his head and catches a glimpse of white robes and long, dark hair rounding a corner. He runs to try and catch up. "Shizun! Chu Wanning!" he calls out, but when he too rounds the corner, there's no one there.

It doesn't stop there. Whenever the shift happens, Hua Binan is tormented by Chu Wanning's lecturing, somehow colder and harsher than he had ever been back at Sisheng Peak. He hears Taxian-jun too, mocking him for his failures.

On occasion, he catches a glimpse of that other version of himself. Blind and bleeding from the eyes, but somehow able to always know exactly where Hua Binan. He's not admonishing, not even judging. He seems sad. Hua Binan does his damndest to try and ignore him, but he ends up dreading that thing the most.


All hell breaks loose

He's lost and confused. Paranoid and anxious. Things keep changing. Too much, too often. He can't even trust his own eyes and ears anymore.

He opens a door, hoping it will be his cabin, but instead he steps right into his worst nightmare. A bed covered in blood with two people on it. Hua Binan freezes up completely as the man turns to look at him. There is blood smeared around his lips and the look in his eyes is crazed.

Hua Binan whimpers as the woman sits up. Chunks of flesh are missing from her torso and legs and her ribcage is visible. "A-Nan," she says in a low, guttural voice, so far from the loving mother he remembers, "Run... run... or he will eat you too! Gobble you up in one bite!" They both start to laugh. Horrible, loud cackling that rings in Hua Binan's ears.

The two then come together and while Hua Binan watches in horror, they meld into one awful, fleshy monstrosity. It's impossible to tell where one body ends and another begins. And then it starts to crawl off the bed, still cackling with laughter.

"RUN!" it screams at him.

And Hua Binan does.
