บท 94: Chapter 98 Alice Knows Nothing

Imagine this scene: you're on a creaking ghost ship, pushing open a wooden door at the end of a hallway. An oil lamp flickers dimly, swaying gently. In the trembling light, a headless doll in a gothic dress sits in front of a vanity mirror, holding its own head in its hands. The head turns toward you, slowly revealing a stiff smile...

Duncan felt that if he hadn't already spent so many days on this ship and grown so familiar with Alice, he would have whipped out his gun and pulled the trigger in an instant.

But Alice was completely oblivious to the eerie atmosphere she had just created. She obediently "popped" her head back onto her neck, her responsiveness quickly returning, and she greeted Duncan with a bright smile, "Good evening, Captain! Were you looking for me?"

It was only then that Duncan collected himself, eyeing the doll with suspicion for a long while, "What are you doing here? And why did Goat Head say you were in the cabin counting hairs?"
