Chapter 14: The Rickety Ship of the Sea
After dinner, everyone listened to Dante's wizard and went back to their rooms to sleep. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Phil was the same, except that he habitually meditated once before going to bed.
When he woke up after hours of wandering in that netherworld, Phil found himself unable to sleep.
Phil thought about the past and didn't fall asleep again. So he got up and went outside to pour a cup of tea, and then sat down at the coffee table in his room, intending to write something, about memory, and planning for the future.
Phil was thinking about it, the ship suddenly shook violently, the teacup shattered on the floor, he involuntarily lowered his head, his head hit the side of the coffee table, the sharp pain came, and suddenly there was a blur in front of his eyes, he seemed to see a bloody light emerge, and then a hole was broken in the wall, and then he fell down, stuck in the bed board and the coffee table, unconscious.
I don't know how long it took, but Phil woke up from his slumber.
Before I opened my eyes, I felt that my body was shaking, and my head was a little swollen and confused. When he opened his eyes, the room was a mess.
The futon fell and huddled in the middle of a pile of broken wood, which came from a hole in the wall, and the wind and water kept blowing and pouring water from the outside of the hole, so that the room was soaked with water and made a strange whining sound.
His body was lying in a corner of the room, stuck between the coffee table and the bed, his head down, his body up, his limbs twisted, stuck and unable to move in a strange way.
The floor in front of his eyes was full of water, and a little broken teacup was knocked in front of his head. "Bang!", as if something hit the wall, the room shook violently, and then Phil clearly heard a few clicks, and then the wall against which the bed board was leaning suddenly shattered, and the hole in the wall widened into an entire wall!
The bed board immediately flew out, and before Phil could react, he also flew out with the bed board, and his already soaked body was baptized again in mid-air, he screamed, and then fell into the sea!
When Phil fell into the sea, he screamed, and accidentally took a sip of salty sea water with his mouth open, and all he heard was the sound of the waves, and the water around him was glowing with a faint red light, and everything else was dark.
He swung his limbs as hard as he could, but to no avail, and the raging waves swept him forward!
Phil immediately felt himself being slapped against a piece of hard substance, and he couldn't see anything in the waves, except for a huge black shadow flashing from the bottom of the sea.
Phil grabbed it with both hands, and when he felt a protrusion, he immediately hung his whole body on it as hard as he could.
When the waves rolled back, Phil finally stayed. When he opened his eyes, he found himself hanging from one of the portholes of the ship, which was completely open, and the sea water kept pouring into it.
Phil almost cried tears of joy, but he soon realized that if he didn't get out of the predicament he was still hanging from the ship before the next wave came, he would be swept into the sea again.
So he put his hands together and threw himself into the porthole, and then he was empty, and fell on a pile of broken wood.
Phil took a deep breath and eased his breath to see that he was on the edge of the dining room in the ship, and the entire floor had tilted sharply towards his side, and was still widening.
What the hell is going on? Was it shipwrecked? Why was there no warning at all?
And with the strength and chip of his official knight, how could he faint so easily?
Phil was on a sinking ship, but he didn't even have time to be afraid, no longer thinking about what was going on, and he quickly looked for a solution.
It's a sea of clouds, not on land!
Now he felt pain all over his body, it was estimated that he was already bruised, wiped it on his head, before he fell unconscious, he hit the side of the coffee table, opened the opening, and had stopped bleeding, but now this struggle, it was blood red again.
"Cactus, detect the state of the body. ”
"Host Phil Underwood's physical condition: Minor injuries. There are 15 bruises all over the body...... There is a small wound on the right side of the forehead. The residue of unknown substances in the host body was detected, and it was preliminarily judged that the unknown substances had the effects of causing drowsiness and weakness and decreased vigilance. ”
"Why is there no warning when ingesting an unknown substance. ”
"The chip warned the host 3,224 times from 8:12:36 p.m. to 9:06:20 p.m. yesterday, but the host did not respond. The chip enters the self-protection mechanism at 9:06:21 p.m., during which the chip has the right to use the chip's own ability to repair injuries, remove abnormal states, remove harmful substances and other operations on the host. During the self-protection mechanism, 20% of unknown substances have been removed from the host's body. ”
Phil was even more confused when he heard the chip's explanation, but he knew he couldn't waste his time on it now.
He tore open his sleeves with all his might, tore them into strips of cloth and tied them around his head, barely stopping the bleeding, and then searched around and set out on a quest for survival.
Phil grabbed a pillar and stood in the corner of the dining room in the rickety ship, the entire floor shaking as more seawater poured in. He shouted a few times, but no one answered, and the originally lively restaurant was now like a lonely place.
He went to the galley first, and he found a windproof oil lamp for the crew, and by the light, he saw that there were still some bread and fruit and other food that had not completely fallen, and Phil found a cloth to wrap them around his back, and continued to explore the next level. The originally flat floor is now like a difficult mountain forest, not only the sudden influx of seawater, or the fact that the beams and planks of the roof will fall down at some point, even if it is a lot more difficult to walk, most of the time Phil has to jump up to continue to move forward.
There was no one in the entire cabin, and the dim light of the oil lamps was faint in the darkness, and Phil almost thought he had walked into a ghost ship, but there were familiar places everywhere. Where have all the people gone? Not even the crew, not even the corpses, not even the blood......
Outside the ship is the raging waves, and Phil's time is running out. He made his way up to a large room on the top floor. The large empty room, where there was not a trace of sound coming from outside the ship, was the place where the wizard of Dante taught the meditation method, so quiet that even breathing was very clear.
Phil's breathing suddenly became heavier.
Phil's body felt a little cold.
I was soaked in the sea, and now it was late at night, and although it was the body of a formal knight, I still felt that the air was filled with a cold atmosphere.
He walked forward, through the hall, to the room of the wizard of Dante. Subconsciously paused, and then he easily pushed the door open.
Dante's room would certainly be larger, far from being comparable to the small room that Phil had assigned, but it was all messy at this point, except for a lamp hanging on the top that was emitting light, the one that was said to be a witchcraft lamp, which was attached to the wizard's trick light by eternity. These are all things you hear from other people's small talk while eating at a restaurant.
Phil's first thought was that even the wizard of Dante was gone, wasn't he a wizard?
Without thinking too much about it, Phil immediately searched the room, and in addition to the useless furniture, he found two most noble things, a gray cloth bag, and a yellowed notebook with a tower chained in the corner of the cover.
That cloth bag Phil has only seen it once, when the Seven Princes were caught by the octopus sea monster before, Wizard Dante used this gray cloth bag to suck the octopus in, and now he doesn't know why he put it here;
Phil had only found these two useful things, and time had left him no longer allowed for delay. He left the cabin almost by running and came to the sloping deck. Phil was relieved to see that all the lifeboats were there, but he couldn't figure out where everyone had gone.
Phil cautiously walked over in the roaring waves to get on the survival boat, when a huge black shadow slapped towards Phil!
Huge, swift, Phil has no time to dodge!
Between life and death, Phil didn't know what to do, but his body seemed to have reacted to himself, and since he started meditating, the spiritual power stored in his mind was suddenly consumed, and at the same time, the wind attribute energy in his body that he had absorbed from the book of the Seventeen Princes appeared around his feet in a blink of an eye-
"Bang!"
The ship shook, the planks shattered, the pieces of wood flew wildly, and Phil suddenly flew up, and in mid-air, he suddenly realized.
But he couldn't fly more than a meter high, and he fell on the deck, and there was a sharp pain in his back, and he opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood, and before he could see what it was, a huge black shadow was thrown again.
"Poof!" a bolt of lightning erupted in the air.
At this time, Phil followed the light of lightning, and finally saw what the black shadow was, the black shadow was dozens of meters long, one side was light, and the other side was densely covered with a disc-sized suction mouth, which was a tentacle several meters thick, and then in the distance, a huge head was like a monstrous beast in the storm of the night, extremely terrifying, and at the same time, there were several identical tentacles stretching out of the sea and dancing wildly.
That's a giant octopus living in the sea!
It's countless times bigger than the one that grabbed the Seven Princes before!
The second tentacle fell, but it was no longer where Phil was, and with the rolling waves, Phil flew up again, and then fell into the sea a second time.
But this time, I wasn't beaten back by the waves. The injured limb was paralyzed for a while, and he sank to the bottom of the sea.
Before Phil sank, Phil saw that the daughter of the sea and the big octopus were sinking with him.
The sea was much quieter than the sea, and Phil could only hear the sound of the waves, and it was dark all around, and the windproof oil lamp had fallen and extinguished when the tentacles of the big octopus first struck.
But the lightning was still blowing, and in the moment the lightning lit up, Phil could see the ship and the octopus sinking to the bottom of the sea faster than he did.
Phil was swept down by a torrent around his body, and in a moment he passed out.
Phil didn't expect to wake up, but when he opened his eyes, he saw a scene from another world.
In the quiet, solidified depths of the sea, a huge blood-red roulette wheel emitted a dazzling light, and countless repetitive and esoteric rune lines flowed on it, just like the wizarding world that Phil didn't understand, giving him great curiosity and fear.
Phil's attention quickly turned around it, and he found himself in a sea of corpses.
Countless corpses floated around Phil in a static manner, and a red thread flowed from the corpses towards the blood-colored wheel, all of them with serene faces and eerie smiles.
Phil's mind went blank, and so did the sea, blank, and silent.
