Devil King

In addition to the bedroom and small living room, the first-class cabin of John Ast also has a simple study room, but John is not in the study, but Ast’s butler thoughtfully brought a cup of hot milk, which made Carl smile happily Eye.

"Thank you for the hospitality, where is Mr. Asder?"

"The young master has an appointment with the captain at noon. Will Mr. Hockley go directly to the restaurant?"

"Captain? Oh yes, they are good friends, aren't they?" Karl was not sure whether John Astor also had a dream of sinking a ship. Or people with higher soul energy are less likely to be affected. John has an old-fashioned aura. Judging from his ability to travel with him all the way, the soul energy is only high but not low. Does it affect John? "I'll go back and deal with some things first, and I'll go straight there at noon."

"Okay, I will tell the young master."

"Trouble you." After drinking the milk in two or three sips, Carl patted his stomach that finally warmed up, and wandered leisurely back to his room. Just as he opened the door, he saw Rose anxiously in the small living room of his room Turning around, looking very anxious, it seems that Rose had a "good dream" yesterday!

"Carl!" As soon as she saw him, Rose's tears welled up, and she almost ran over with her whole body. Carl didn't expect her to be so "unrestrained", and was knocked back a step, her chest hurt up.

"Carl, the ship! The Titanic is going to hit an iceberg! Carl!"

"...Rose, calm down, and speak slowly if you have something to say." Carl pressed Rose's shoulders and pushed her away gently, but she seemed to be in a daze, clasping his waist tightly and refusing to let go .

"No! Karl you will not die! Karl save me! The ship cannot sink!"

"What are you talking about?" Carl never imagined that Rose's tolerance was so poor. Although he was not completely sure what Rose dreamed about, because the original plot basically had a certain relationship with the plot of Carl's tortured death. The degree of coincidence, the ship sank, and Jack also died. As for Rose’s follow-up encounter after the ship sank, Karl did not deliberately inquire about it. After all, the two of them would probably part ways after getting off the ship. Rose responded It's so intense, could it be that she's not living as well as she imagined?

It took Carl a lot of effort to calm Rose down. He promised repeatedly that he would propose to the captain to slow down, and he also promised not to abandon Rose, so he managed to get away.When Carl arrived at the restaurant, there were quite a few people gathered in the restaurant, but it was not noisy, but everyone was out of their minds, and their expressions were even panicked.

A few days ago, the captain and the designer, who used to be proud and confident, talked loudly from time to time for fear that no one would praise him, also looked gloomy. The opposite was John Asder, who was calm and neither sad nor happy.

It seems that the effect of the dream technique seems to be better than expected, at least the captain and the designer have dreamed about it. When a person has a dream of a shipwreck, it can be said that this person is sensitive, but when the whole ship includes the crew, sailors and All the passengers and management have dreamed about the shipwreck, so it's not a matter of nervousness or insensitivity.

No matter how much people believe in science, they cannot completely get rid of the influence of nightmares, let alone collective nightmares. No matter how big a ship is, it is considered a closed environment, and the sea is vast and boundless. If the ship sinks, no one is confident Save your own life or even escape from the sky, not to mention the weight of the Titanic and the impact of the waves made another boat in the same port almost capsize when it set sail. Such a precursor is bound to everyone's nightmare The effect in one piece is amazing.

It seems that he can not worry about the captain's problem, but the real question is when will the iceberg appear?When would the Titanic encounter an iceberg if it didn't speed up?Can you successfully receive those warning telegrams?It all depends on how the captain responds.

"Carl, come over to me."

"Mr Astor, Captain Smith."

"Slept well last night?"

"I drank too much, and I don't remember any dreams." Carl sat down gracefully, and the waiter quickly brought a cup of coffee. He blinked curiously while holding the coffee, "What's wrong with you? Did you encounter any problems? "

"The people on the ship collectively had a dream about the shipwreck last night," the designer on the side frowned. In the morning, he held the design drawings and compared them one by one. After discovering that the defects and errors of the Titanic in the dream also existed in reality, he started No matter how he tried to convince himself, he felt that the dream was too much like a prophetic dream. He knew the importance of the Titanic, so he could naturally imagine the seriousness of the shipwreck.The designer briefly explained the relatively inconsequential things about himself, with a heavy expression on his face. "The most important thing now is to avoid icebergs, or to be prepared in advance."

"It is indeed safer to prepare with both hands, but there is no need to be overly pessimistic. If God really wants this ship to sink, there will probably not be such a prophetic dream. It is still comprehensive."

"That's right." The captain looked sleepy, his complacent appearance in the dream and his concealment at the moment of the incident seemed to be a slap in the face, especially when everyone dreamed of his arrogance, his old face quickly I can't hold on anymore.

After sailing for many years, he thought that the Titanic was the pinnacle of his career. Now that the iceberg has not appeared and the ship has not sunk, he has already lost face.What frightened him even more was—those things were really his most real reactions. If he hadn't predicted it in advance but directly hit the iceberg, his reaction would probably be the same as in a dream.

Now he dare not speed up, and he can't wash himself off, obviously nothing has happened yet, he has lost the hearts of customers and investors, Captain Stephen can't imagine when the ship arrives or really can't arrive , What kind of crisis will he face.

"Since I have dreamed about it in advance, wouldn't it be better to take precautions in advance?" Karl blinked at John Astor. This idea was brought to him by John. If John hadn't reminded him, he might not have thought of using it. The captain of the dream pit will save everyone.

"That's right, is your dream detailed to the latitude? Is it possible to increase the crew of three patrols?"

"In addition, it may be necessary to send someone to appease the mood of all passengers. Although it is just a dream, it is not good to cause panic."

Several people briefly discussed the solution. The other nobles and gentry listened to their conversation with breathless attention, but they also echoed what John Asder and Cal Hockley said. After all, what people like them cherish most is their own. Little life, there are nobles, rich people, ordinary people, and immigrants who dream of going to the American continent to start a business on this Titanic. No one wants their hard-won ticket to become a reminder. It would be best to avoid the danger of the iceberg, if not, then of course he must find a way to save his own life.

Karl didn't know much about sailing, but he stayed with John Ast throughout the whole process, and he naturally participated in most of the decisions and opinions. Except for the passengers on the telegram, the captain of the Titanic, Stephen, bowed his noble head to apologize to the first-class passengers and asked for assistance in order to clear himself of the "crime" that did not yet exist. All disaster prevention preparations were carried out in an orderly manner.

Carl followed John Astor to deal with affairs step by step. The more he came into contact with him, the more fascinated he became. John's investment vision and even thinking made his eyes shine, and he was desperately absorbing and learning like a sponge. This world stays until he dies, and there are too many parts of John that he can learn. He is like a puppy circling around John, and John pampers and takes care of him from time to time. The atmosphere between the two So good that no one can get in at all.

The opposite is Rose, who is still uncontrollably attracted to Jack. Jack's feelings are unrestrained and sincere. Since he could die to save her in his previous life, even if he dreamed of such a thing, he, who is naturally romantic and enthusiastic, doesn't think that On the contrary, his love for Rose is even more passionate, and he treats her almost exhaustively.

Unlike in the dream, Carl was not kidnapped, but became very popular because of John Astor. Rose was entangled and uneasy. She couldn't deny that she was indeed greedy for the wealth and glory that Carl brought her. , She really couldn't let go of those beautiful clothes, but the engraving on her heart was deeper for Jack who could have died for her.

This time she didn't see the Heart of the Ocean that Karl bought for her in the safe, and because she was afraid of the shipwreck, she didn't have the heart to ask Jack to paint nude paintings for her, but her sad frowning from time to time was captured by Jack. Drawing one after another, there is a strong attraction and unconcealable passion between them, which should have been hidden from Mrs. Bucket's eyes, but Mrs. Bucket was also anxious about the possible sinking of the ship.

In the process of everyone having their own entanglements and troubles, the shipwreck day in the dream came. This time, due to the arrangement of many crew patrols and the unimpeded telegram, the moment the iceberg alarm came in, it seemed like the dust had settled. , everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The captain adjusted the course and slowed down. When passing by the iceberg that seemed small on the sea but was actually huge on the water surface, everyone gathered by the window and on the deck, watching the iceberg approaching gradually with breathless concentration. , Watching the iceberg slowly move away until the iceberg can no longer be seen, some people broke down and cried, some wept with joy, some thanked God, and some hugged tightly and sighed for saving their lives.

"You see, as long as proper precautions are taken, the ship can not sink." When everyone gathered in the dinner hall to revel, John Ast and Cal Hockley stood side by side on the deck, leaning on the railing, and the cool sea breeze blew Coming towards him, John looked at Carl with a smile, and the emotion in his eyes burned Carl's face red.

"Yeah! We're almost in New York..."

"You and your fiancée are going to get engaged in New York?" Although most people fall into anxiety because of the nightmare of the shipwreck, John Astor doesn't care so much, he cares more about Carl's little fiancee, who hasn't yet To be engaged is to hook up with a poor boy, and when he thinks that Karl is about to be engaged to such a woman, he can't express his depression.

"This is a new era, I think, the pursuit of true love is allowed, I will not stop her from finding true love, because I have my true love." Cal Hockley said calmly, looking into the distance.

"Oh? True love? Isn't it your little fiancee?"

"Maybe it used to be, but I find that I prefer mature and stable men now." Carl looked at the sea without turning his head, "It's better for him to have black hair, deep eyes, a big chest and nothing." Love reserved."

"Are you confessing?" The man approached, the strong smell of cigars, like his strong sense of presence, completely invaded the young man's lips and tongue. "—As you wish."

The Titanic arrived at the port of New York in the midst of all the attention. In the end, Karl and Rose broke off the engagement. After Rose left, maybe she would be with Jack, and maybe there would be another marriage or life. Karl didn’t care, anyway, his There is nothing about Rose in the last wish. After all, before life and death, feelings are really just a trivial matter to the original Carl, not to mention that this small world has been distorted like this. Rose is just a substitute for Bai Yueguang, just an emotion. It's just a projection, not true love.

The Titanic did not sink to the bottom of the sea, the White Star Company went up to a higher level, and Hockley's house was also plated with gold, but Karl did not stop there. With his vision of future generations and John Astor's precise judgment, the two They jointly created a hegemony. Old Hockley had no idea of ​​having another child. Carl and John adopted several children. When the children grow up, they will hand over the business to them and live a carefree life of traveling around the world. .

Until John Astor closed his eyes in the world of Titanic, Carl left that world after leaving a will to be buried together.
