Chapter 946: If You Don't Believe It
If it weren't for Zhang Fu knowing that Xu Weiguo was his granddaughter's savior, Zhang Fu would not have said it so bluntly.
It was precisely because he knew that this was a dead place that he was afraid that Xu Weiguo would be deceived, so he spared no effort to remind him.
Xu Weiguo frowned.
"Is this place really that scary?"
Zhang Fu nodded, and after hesitating for a long time, he said an old story that he had personally experienced.
"When I was a teenager, I followed my uncle on a boat, and I went to many places and experienced a lot of ups and downs. Even in bad weather, we were able to get the boat to a safe place. Zhang's shipbuilding is a golden signboard, and Zhang's represents safety and reliability.
The route from Jiaodong to Nanyang is basically monopolized by our Zhang. My uncle made a lot of money, and when I became an adult, he gave me one of the boats and made a living from it.
On the night he handed over the ship to me, my uncle told me that I could go anywhere on the sea, but there was only one place where I could not go anyway.
It's called the Devil's Sea, and no boat has ever passed through that body of water safely.
My uncle drank a lot of wine that night, and when he got drunk, he cried and told me that no matter how poor and miserable I was in this life, I should not do anything that violated my conscience, otherwise one day I would pay a heavy price for it.
The next day, my uncle was going to go to sea with the fleet, and when I went to see him off, my uncle only said one sentence to me: Don't go to the Devil's Sea, and when you hear this name, you have to take a detour.
That was the last thing my uncle said to me.
The uncle took Zhang's fleet to sea and never returned.
About a month later, someone found the wreckage of a ship belonging to a piece of paper near the Devil's Sea.
My uncle repeatedly told me not to go near the Devil's Sea, but he took the fleet to the Devil's Sea, and the night before he left, he was very drunk, crying and laughing like crazy.
He was so afraid of that place, but why did he take the fleet to die?
I was a child picked up by my uncle, and my uncle was very kind to me, and like my own father, he died in an unknown way, and even the body was not found, and I wanted to find out why, so I went to sea in the boat he left me.
When I set out, it was cloudy, and I walked on the sea for seven or eight days, and the weather was not very good, and when the boat sailed near the Devil's Sea, it rained heavily, and after the rain stopped, a big rainbow appeared on the horizon, like an arched bridge, where the sea and the sky meet.
Behind the rainbow, there is a faint island, the island is floating in the air, it looks very beautiful, the houses on the island look like a royal palace, layered on top of each other, carved beams and paintings.
We've been running on the sea for years, we've heard of mirages, and we all know it's an illusion. The more beautiful the illusion, the less close it is.
I thought of my uncle's advice, so I stopped the boat and did not drive any further to the island behind the rainbow.
But a few steamers that suddenly appeared nearby drove straight behind the rainbow as if they had hit ghosts.........
I watched as the ships disappeared as if they had been swallowed by something.
The rainbow is gone, the island is gone, and the boat is gone.
The water was calm.
I tried to sail as I remembered the rainbow and the island, but I found that I couldn't drive it at all, and the rudder would spin as soon as the ship approached the area.
Later, a thick fog suddenly broke out on the sea, and I lost my way, and I drove in the fog for three days, but I still couldn't get out.
I thought I was going to die at sea, and in desperation I gave up the helm and let the ship drift.
By the time I woke up from my sleep, my boat and I had appeared near Penglai Island.
I didn't give up, and I sailed the boat to the Devil's Sea to check .........."
When Zhang Fu said this, his body instinctively trembled, as if he remembered some terrifying picture.
He interrupted, got up, poured a full cup of water, and held it in his hand.
Xu Weiguo and the others didn't urge him, just looked at him quietly, waiting for him to calm down his frightened mood and continue to finish the story.
Zhang Fu warmed the cup of boiling water, drank it all into his mouth, and then opened it again.
"When I arrived, the sea was full of wreckage, and the water was full of water for several miles. I remember the ships.
There are markings on board.
This was the big steamer that sailed into the back of the rainbow that day.........
The ship was torn to pieces by something......
None of the people on the boat were seen.
The people on these ships should be people of status and status, because in the following period of time, many waves of people came to me and asked about it.
They are all investigating the whereabouts of the missing people on this ship.
In the end, their finding was that all of them were supposed to be dead.
In that sea, called the Devil's Sea, there must have lived some kind of huge and terrifying creature that could release an illusionary thing that led people to its mouth one after another.
Those who are missing are afraid that they have already been buried in the belly of this thing!
This thing must be huge, maybe as big as an island, or maybe bigger, so it swallows a large ship that carries thousands of tons in one gulp.
It is precisely because of its huge size that it has been hidden in the sea that it has never been discovered.
Investigators say that thousands of ships have gone missing near the Devil's Sea for thousands of years......
This sea area should be reclassified as a forbidden sea.
I think my uncle, and the boatmen I worked with, had been swallowed by this thing.
But what I have always wondered is that my uncle has long known that this place is dangerous, so why did he have to go?
Was he coerced to go?
And what could make him willing to lose his life rather than be coerced?
So many people didn't find out why, and I slowly gave up, listened to my uncle's words, stayed away from the devil's sea, and honestly ran the shipping to support my family.
If you just started to say that the place you were going to was the Devil's Sea, I probably wouldn't have accepted your business.
The person who told you about this place must be a well-intentioned person who wants to kill you!"
Zhang Fu's words are conclusive, and Xu Weiguo must not reconsider.
Boss Chen confided in the location of the Lan family during hypnosis, and the coordinates were also verified repeatedly to be accurate.
In general, no one can lie during hypnosis.
But there's also a theory of relativity.
If the person performing hypnosis is weaker than the mental will of the hypnotized person, then the hypnotist will not be able to find out even if the hypnotized person is lying.
Fu Jingnian is an authoritative professor in the Department of Psychology, if Boss Chen can still lie in the hypnosis of others, it can only prove one thing, Boss Chen also has a lot of achievements in the field of psychology, and his ability may be higher than Fu Jingnian.
It's a terrible thing.
If it weren't for Zhang Hong's existence, what Zhang Fu said, Xu Weiguo wouldn't necessarily believe it.
If he didn't believe it, he insisted on going to sea and going to the Devil's Sea......
