The Ashuli, operated by the Archipelago Queen Shipping Company, is undeniably a giant.
With a length of 213 meters, it sails confidently through storms, heading towards the Barren Lands and Lennon Islands. It carries up to 2,200 crew and passengers, including a specially hired team of Exorcists to ensure the passengers' safety.
The sense of security it brings amidst the pale-gray vast ocean is indescribable.
Yet many passengers remain on deck. Some are lamenting leaving their homeland, some eagerly anticipate a new beginning on the other side, hoping the Ashuli will successfully reach the Lennon Islands.
The waves and clamor on the deck peel away from Lu Li as he enters the cabin; the doors of most cabins along the corridor are open, with the sounds of conversation or luggage being moved emanating from them.
Sidelining around the passenger pushing luggage into a cabin, Lu Li, holding his ticket, walks to the mid-section of the cabin.
