Chapter 13: The Ghost Ship
"Speaking of which, you just admit that you can't swim, so you can't check the life and death of that beautiful snake, but from your description, I don't think it has a great chance of surviving. ”
Now that the demons on the cruise ship have been eliminated, Xia Molei can finally put her mind at ease, but fortunately, the two victims who were seduced by the beautiful snake, Qiqi and Zhao Cambodia, were not threatened with their lives. However, Yuan Shuai has always hidden a secret in his heart, that is, the whirlwind summoned by the mysterious spell last night, which indicates that there must be someone else controlling it behind the beautiful snake, but who is the mysterious person who controls the beautiful snake behind it, and what he plans to do Yuan Shuai does is unknown.
Just when the three of them gradually began to talk about some light-hearted topics, there was a sudden burst of shrill and whistling alarms on the huge cruise ship, and the crew members in the control room of the cruise ship nervously reported to the acting captain Kojiro behind them: "Captain, the radar shows that an unidentified ship is coming at a speed like us, ten nautical miles in front of us." ”
Kojiro Abe's brows were slightly curled, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried, and he ordered the crew in the control room, "Radio communication, try to get in touch with the other party, and the cruise ship will sound the siren to signal ......"
The loud sirens attracted hundreds of passengers on the cruise ship, and the morning fog had dissipated through the cold wind blowing on the sea, but from the deck in the distance, there was still a foggy white world between the sea and the sky.
Yuan Shuai, Xia Molei, and the girl also ran out between Luo Luo and other classmates, and through the whistle that could penetrate the sky, Yuan Shuai and the others felt that something urgent must have happened.
The crew member in charge of radio communication in the control room sweated profusely and reported to Kojiro, "Report to the captain, the other ship did not make a radio return, and did not slow down, and now the other ship is less than a nautical mile away from us!"
The passengers standing on the deck all craned their necks to look around at the foggy sea, but only Yuan Shuai and the girl were the first to see a looming hull on the coastline through the layers of fog.
"It's just a ship coming by, is there such a fuss?" the girl blinked and asked Yuan Shuai curiously.
Yuan Shuai himself didn't understand why the cruise ship was making such a fuss, but Yuan Shuai's always effective sixth sense told him that the ship coming in the distance revealed a trace of weirdness everywhere. Because under normal circumstances, two ships will whistle each other when they meet at sea to announce and communicate, but now Yuan Shuai and their Sakura Chihiro have been honking the whistle for a long time, and I am afraid that the radio communication on the ship has also been used, but the ship in the distance has not moved or even sounded the whistle, as if a lifeless piece of wood rises and falls in the waves and has no life at all.
As the ships approaching in the distance got closer and closer, the passengers standing on the deck widened their eyes in surprise, and some passengers even turned from surprise to exclamation, because the ship coming from a distance through the mist finally revealed its true face!
It was a military transport ship, and the entire hull was rusty and covered with green moss. It is like an old man, and his face is full of traces and vicissitudes of history. The difference is that when Yuan Shuai saw the dilapidated transport ship approaching, his eyebrows were almost twisted into a rope.
"What a heavy yin qi!" Yuan Shuai didn't know if he was talking to the girl or talking to himself, anyway, this mysterious and dilapidated transport ship made the green tendons on Yuan Shuai's temples jump.
As the two ships approached, the fog on the sea began like a theatrical play, and all the passengers standing on the deck couldn't help but exclaim in amazement at the mysterious transport ship that was less than ten meters away from the Sakura Chihiro.
"Oh my God, is this an unmanned ship that floats on the sea all year round, how can it be here!"
"Could this be the most terrifying ghost ship in the legend?"
"Do you think there will be treasure gold in it, isn't it often described in novels that ghost ships with treasures like this? ”
In the face of a strange and mysterious ship, they were not afraid at all, and some of them even took out their mobile phones and began to shoot the legendary "ghost ship" that is rare in a lifetime!
"Yuan Shuai, what's wrong with you, why is your face so ugly?" Xia Molei found that Yuan Shuai, whose brows had been tightly locked, asked with some concern.
"Ghost Ship...... Ghost Ship ......" Yuan Shuai kept muttering, and suddenly he raised his head and asked Xia Molei and the girl beside him, "I said, do you believe in the legend of the ghost ship?"
"Ghost ship! That's just fiction in fiction, how can there be such a thing in the real world. As soon as Xia Molei finished speaking, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, because she didn't believe that there were demons and monsters in the world, but since she met Yuan Shuai, what she saw and experienced completely disrupted her understanding of reality and science.
"Brother Yuan, do you mean that there is really such a terrifying thing as a ghost ship in the world?" The girl looked at the lonely hull opposite, feeling like a sleeping beast, if someone really wanted to disturb it, then the sleeping beast in front of him would wake up violently and tear you to pieces without hesitation.
Yuan Shuai nodded and said, "The old man once told me about the legend of the ghost ship at sea, but in fact, the ghost ships described in the movie like Pirates of the Caribbean or The Lord of the Rings are all made up. According to our understanding of the Maoshan ghost hunter, all this is actually 'ship lice' doing tricks. ”
"Boat lice?" Xia Molei and the girl heard this term for the first time, so the two of them curiously asked Yuan Shuai to explain to them.
Yuan Shuai put his arm around the shoulders of the two lovely people one by one, then leaned over his head and whispered to them, "There are many strange creatures living in the ocean, such as starfish, shellfish, and some soft creatures that cannot move on their own, and they swim past them by passing ships or large fish, and then they attach themselves to them for free sailing trips. ”
"However, there is a more terrifying adsorption in the sea, that is, 'ship lice', they are often killed in the sea due to marine accidents, and the cold sea ruthlessly takes away their lives and bodies, so their souls cannot transcend reincarnation and eventually evolve into the terrifying spirit of ship lice. ”
"When people fall into the water and drown, what is the first thing that everyone thinks? and that is the ship rescue, so that those who have died unjustly at sea will insist on coming up as soon as they encounter a ship and then take the whole ship into the sea to be substitutes for them. That's why the empty ships float alone on the sea without people, so people have come to call them ghost ships!"
