Chapter 14: Evil spirits run rampant, and human nature collapses
Standing in the gathered crowd, Shi Yinghu and Saeki were also among them, Saeki kept guessing around him who might be the murderer, but Shi Yinghu's face was a little gloomy and ugly.
Although he did not have the cultivation of a necromantic grandmaster, with the insight of the previous life and the necromantic knowledge obtained from Kate Bryan in this life, Shi Yinghu, like Wagperry, vaguely guessed the direction of the problem. It's just that I'm still a little uncertain for a while.
Necromantic Master Wagperi did not stop the other passengers on the ship from watching, the more forceful the suppression at this time, the more the fear would spread, for now, it was only two dead sailors, and it was not a psychological shock to the professional.
If they are forcibly stopped, it will stimulate all kinds of contradictions and dark thoughts.
"Someone cast a spell and killed these two crew members, and I swear that whoever that person is, I will make him pay!" Wagperi said in a loud voice, as he demanded a thorough investigation of the necromancy, who had not been out of the house since last night.
As a necromancer grandmaster, sensing the smell of the necromantic curse and immediately taking action against other necromancers, this reflects Wagperi's courage on the one hand, and the uneasiness in Wagperi's heart on the other.
The curse system, especially the curse of the resentful spirit, is a very strange and terrifying ability system, and if the curse spreads, no one dares to guarantee that they will be able to survive except for the legendary professional. Even a legendary professional would not dare to be careless in the face of a legendary curse master, but the cursed master of the legendary realm is very rare.
Because of the support of other grandmasters, Wagperi's instructions were carried out very thoroughly, and the door of the necromancer in the room was kicked open, and Shi Yinghu was also a necromancer, but before he could be found, everyone found the main master.
Some spontaneously organized sailors forcibly broke down the door to a necromancer's room, and found the corpse in the six-pointed star array, which had been completely corrupted.
This time, Wagperi still did not prohibit other passengers from watching, and Shi Yinghu and Saeki also followed.
In a spacious but messy room, a man in a black robe was lying in the center of the six-pointed star array, and there was a cold air in the whole room, and this coldness was constantly spreading, not only the people who entered the room, but the entire ship, all the people on the ship, were wrapped around this aura, looming, if there was nothing.
"Bastard, you die by yourself, and you leave us with such a big problem. Wagperi examined the potion-made mirror and the surroundings, and quickly understood what was going on.
At this moment, a mutated and evolved wraith roams the ship, killing and spreading death and fear until it turns the entire Dark Witch ship into a ghost ship.
(I should have fled with the bone dragon now, an out-of-control spell like this is extremely dangerous and has a high growth potential...... But I've been entangled, and the spirit has attributes that are higher than the spatial distance, and even if it escapes for a while, it will still come to me after it becomes extremely powerful...... Destroy it as soon as possible. Thinking so, the disciple searched for a spell book from the dead mage, and Wagperi took it into his arms.
Powerful curse spells, very dangerous, very rare and valuable, the losses have already been eaten, this cheap is not reasonable, if you meet a wise curse master in the future, you can use it to exchange various things with the other party.
Next, Necromantic Master Wagperi asks everyone to start a series of defenses, moving everyone to sunny rooms as much as possible, reducing solitude, and sprinkling salt on the doorways of each room. Now Wagperi's idea is to tow, and after towing it to the shore of the Black Witch Ship, a fire burns the broken ship, and most of the resentful spirits are destroyed without their support.
But unfortunately, even in the best of circumstances, it would take a month and a half for the Dark Witch ship to sail to the nearest port, and a month and a half to live with a wraith that was out of control, and even Wagperi felt his scalp tingle.
............
Necromancer Wagperi didn't tell everything he knew, but there were many necromancer professionals on the ship, and as soon as the scene of that day appeared, many necromancers slowly knew what was going on.
In the days that followed: necromantic curses, out-of-control spirits, revenge killings, these words spread through the conversation.
Although the professionals are all witchers and are very experienced in dealing with creatures in the lower planes, this one is different, this one is an extremely evil spirit created artificially, which is more troublesome and difficult than the naturally generated ones that enter the main material realm from the lower planes.
The entire 208-room cabin was opened, and eight professionals lived together, five men and three women, although normally there were differences between men and women, but the avoidance between professionals was not so big, and it was normal to eat and sleep together when adventuring together.
The eight people on Shi Yinghu and Saeki's side got along quite well, but the form of the entire black witch ship took a sharp turn, like a fruit that had been picked and left for too long, the dark mottled overflowed and spread, and finally the whole fruit rotted, which meant that the whole ship was dead.
From the day the body was found, the ship began to be filled with dead people, living together, sprinkling salt at the door, these methods were useless, the ship was always controlled by people, and those sailors who were still ordinary people became the first targets of the evil spirits.
In the later stages, even if the professionals were unwilling, they had to assign tasks to protect the sailors, on the one hand, to protect the sailors' lives, and on the other hand, to learn how to sail a ship...... In this form, it is necessary to prepare the expectation that all the sailors will die and that the professionals will have to sail the ship.
All the way forward, there were dead people all the way, and even the sharks began to follow the Dark Witch Ship, because the corpses were constantly being thrown on the ship, attracting some lazy sharks to start guarding the boat.
Half a month has passed, a third of the people on the entire ship have died, the most terrible thing is that no one knows where the black witch ship is now, the first mate and Captain Dirac have all died at the hands of resentful spirits, the surveyor can't bear the psychological pressure to swallow a gun and commit suicide, and some people secretly steal the boat and want to escape, but when they come back, it has become a ship full of corpses.
The sea is boundless, and people will only feel incomparably small when they are in it, and those who can escape from the grandmaster who has the ability to fly (borrow things to fly) have already escaped.
Wagperi was quite strong, and he didn't summon the bone dragon to flee until the surveyor had killed himself.
In the end, there were only a large number of low- and middle-level professionals trapped in the Hanhai Sea on the entire ship, and they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.
Although he knows very well in his heart that he has been entangled, he still has his own calculations in his heart, although the spirit has attributes that are higher than the spatial distance, but the black witch ship is still the entrenchment point of the resentful spirit, as long as the people on the black witch ship have not died, as long as they escape fast enough, they will have the opportunity to find the continent and find the expert who cracks the curse before the people on the black witch ship die.
Necromancers are good at casting spells, but when it comes to fighting and exorcising curses, the Templars are more proficient, and they are far less knowledgeable about spirits than necromancers, but their strength attributes are very, very restrained.
It doesn't matter if Wagperi escapes, the morale of the entire Black Witch ship, which was already struggling to maintain, collapsed directly.
Under the pressure of fear and death, many people have gone crazy.
There are some people who shout the slogan of killing all the necromancers, all of which have nothing to do with them, looking for the necromancers on the ship.
Some people are crazy before death, crazy catharsis of animal desires that are usually suppressed in the bottom of their hearts.
There are also some people who want to plunder wealth, and even seize the fragments of "knowledge". This kind of person's brain circuit, Shi Yinghu can't even figure it out, it's incomprehensible, it's going to die soon, are you holding so much money to bribe death?
In any case, as the situation continues to evolve and ferment, the Dark Witch Ship gradually becomes an isolated island like a wasteland.
The malice of the necromantic spirits swirled over the heads of the beings, and the people on the ship turned into evil beasts, beginning to bite and devour each other, brutal and crazy.
.........
On the sea, on the dark witch ship aimlessly drifting with the monsoon, in the cabin of the cabin, the sword light and the shadow of the axe are intertwined.
Shi Yinghu held the sword with both hands, and with his clever sword skills, he forcibly resisted the barbarian's violent double axe attack, the two sides staggered, the weapons were entangled, but the barbarian Kuru's left axe collided with the right hand axe, and the sparks exploded, making his hands numb for a while.
Both sides took two steps back.
Behind Shi Yinghu, Saeki, who was dirty on his cheeks, was bandaging the wounds of a resolute girl with blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Kuru, you scumbag, you actually attacked Sister Finney! Have you forgotten? The last ghost attack, if Sister Finney hadn't saved you, you would have been dead a long time ago. Saeki bandaged the wound on Finney's shoulder as he gritted his teeth and cursed, his little face flushed with anger.
However, the barbarian professional named Kuru, armed with a double axe, ignored Saeki at all, and instead stared at the young man in front of him with his eyes, his pupils gradually dilated. He had long known that the young man in front of him was not easy to deal with, calm and calm, and he looked indifferent at all times, but he never thought that a necromancer from the ancient snake castle would have such outrageous swordsmanship.
Especially the unpredictable, traction swordsmanship, I haven't heard of the snake school swordsmanship of the ancient snake castle, and there are characteristics like this?
"Kate, we're all dead, why do you have to fight with me anymore? I won't move Saeki, you just give Finney to me, or are you really so greedy, brother, you want both?"
"Brother, with your small necromancer's small body, can you stand it together?" said the barbarian Kuru in a hoarse voice, his originally hearty and heroic voice gradually turned into what it is now with the torture of this time.
Sometimes it's hard to blame a person for falling in a desperate situation, how can you really empathize if you don't suffer the same torture as him?
Since the opening of room 208, eight professionals have joined forces and rushed out together, covering each other and supporting each other, and now there are only five people left dead, but they are facing each other with swords and no longer know each other.
"Kuru, I don't want to fight you, we still have a chance. ”
"You're a...... The evil spirit hovered over all of us, and now that the boat was gone, there was less food and less water...... Give me Finney!" Without giving Shi Yinghu a chance to continue speaking, the barbarian Kuru roared and roared, and at the same time, the double axe in his hand slashed out like lightning.
The barbarian warriors in the battle are extremely terrifying, their bodies are painted with all kinds of strange patterns, and the entire battlefield seems to be able to see the raging anger spread around him.
In their early warrior training, one of the required lessons was how to activate the primordial power within him and release it through a roar that would terrify even the enemies of the Burning Hell.
A reddish energy, accompanied by the roar of the barbarian Kuru, spreads out, intimidating nearby enemies and causing them to retreat.
Shi Yinghu held the sword in front of his chest with one hand, calming his nerves, and when he felt the sharp edge of the double axe slashing into his own close body, he slightly turned to the side to avoid the double axe, and at the same time, the one-handed sword stabbed out like lightning, pointing directly at Kuru's left eye.
Because he suffered a loss on the necromantic curse, Shi Yinghu didn't dare to guarantee that he could pass the will test of spiritual skills now, so he made a decision to calm his nerves before being recruited, and ensured that he was not affected to the greatest extent, anyway, the gap in the martial arts of the two sides was already huge, and even if he lost the first move, he could completely get it back.
"Ah......h
The barbarian Kuru doesn't even pursue a successful block, he only wants to affect the accuracy of the opponent's sword, as long as he doesn't stab his eyes, even if he slashes the head, it won't affect his own combat power too much.
However, Shi Yinghu's steps are disordered, sometimes heavy and sometimes light, sometimes if he steps on the solid rock, the step weighs 10,000 catties; when he is as light as a feather, without any effort, with the sword light flashing, the pace changes, the swordsmanship and body are blended together, and there is a sense of unpredictability, so that the opponent can not advance, and can not retreat.
"I have obtained the surveyor's measuring instrument during this time, and have read it over and over again according to his notes, that our ship is now in the midst of a monsoon, and that evil spirit, no matter how strong it is, will not be able to control the weather, and that will be a month, or two months, and we will surely reach land, which is why I say that we still have a chance. ”
