Chapter 565: Ghost Ship (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
On the surface of the sea, at some point, layers of fog floated, and the fog was very light at first. Gradually, it became more and more intense, and no one was seen ten meters away.
This sudden change surprised many passengers.
There are also passengers who are not afraid of death, attracted by this rare spectacle and seem excited.
Looking up at the sky, the stars are hidden.
Only in the position of the moon, a halo of light is displayed, but it is not visible.
Modern cruise ships are equipped with nautical radar and satellite navigation, which are naturally unaffected by fog.
The cruise ship still headed towards the island country firmly, and after about a cigarette time, the cruise ship's engine shook several times in a row like an old man coughing, and suddenly became silent.
The engine is off!
Lu Li was born and raised by the sea, and he knows very well that the main engine of this kind of ocean-going passenger liner will never be easily extinguished, and even if it is turned off, there will be an auxiliary engine.
Not to mention stalling, they have to start a few hours before they actually set sail, for the same purpose as starting a car in winter, to warm up the car.
This is done to protect the engine and for safety reasons.
The resistance of the water was very high, and not long after the engine stalled, the cruise ship quickly slowed down and came to a complete stop in just a moment.
There was silence around the cruise ship, and for a while, even the sound of the waves disappeared.
The excited or frightened visitors on the deck finally realized that something was wrong, and immediately let out a burst of screams, turned and ran to the cabin.
In such a strange situation, perhaps only the cabin can give them a sense of security.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Mike, the captain of the Mary. There was a little trouble with the Mary's engine, but everyone was relieved. I have contacted the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and sent a distress signal to the surrounding vessels, and I believe that a ship will arrive soon. ”
"The Mary is eight hundred nautical miles from the island nation, and there are no obstacles, reefs in the middle of the route. There are no icebergs. Therefore, even if you want to stage an ancient love story, I am afraid that there is no chance at all. ”
At this time, there was still a mood to joke, which proved that Captain Mike was quite relaxed and not particularly worried.
Come to think of it, there are no obstacles near the route, and now that it's summer, the iceberg is even more unreliable.
In addition, the sea area is calm and there is no bad weather such as tropical storms. Despite the fact that the engine was faulty, the possibility of sinking was minimal.
"Ladies and gentlemen, as a sign of apologies, you will be free to use any of the facilities on board until the Mary is repaired. Casinos, swimming pools, ballrooms, and even indoor golf courses. Ladies and gentlemen. Let's rejoice! ”
"A one-of-a-kind experience like this is definitely more fun than any adventure, isn't it?" Before he could finish speaking, Captain Mike's voice suddenly became high-pitched. "Oh God, that ......"
The broadcast came to an abrupt end, and most passengers probably won't notice the last few words. Lu Li heard it clearly. Not only could he hear clearly, he could see clearly.
Through the thick fog, traces of ghost ships have already appeared in front of the cruise ship on the right.
Apparently. Captain Mike also saw this scene and exclaimed. Fortunately, his professionalism was quite good, and he turned off the radio in time, otherwise it would have caused panic among the passengers on board.
And with Captain Mike's comfort, the cabin gradually became lively.
Hundreds of visitors gather in the ballroom, casino, or other place to have a drink and commemorate the experience.
Of course, no one dared to set foot on deck again.
The atmosphere on the deck was too eerie, silent, as if you had entered a silent world. Even the noise and music in the cabin disappeared without a trace.
As soon as he found the ghost ship, Lu Li retracted his steps and turned around and walked to the side of the ship. He held on to the railing with both hands, his eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the flickering ship, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart.
China has a long history, and he is also a monk, so he can be said to be well-informed. However, this is the first time that he has encountered the ghost ship of Western legends.
"There are no yin qi fluctuations, there is only the hull of the ship in the divine consciousness, and there are no living people, which is a bit interesting."
In the perception of divine consciousness, the ghost ship a hundred meters away resembles an abandoned ship, and there is nothing strange about it.
"The histories of different countries are different, and even the nature of evil is different. I used to think that the ghost ship was some kind of ghost, but now it seems to be wrong. ”
Lu Li muttered to himself, seeing that the ghost ship was getting closer and closer, he was about to go up to investigate, when there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps behind him.
"It's too dangerous here, get back to the cabin immediately." A deep voice shouted......
Lu Li turned his head to look and found that it was a Westerner, wearing three pairs of clothes, tall and angular.
"The Exorcist of the United States?"
The man's face changed slightly when he heard this, he hurriedly took two steps back, and said with a vigilant face, "Who are you?" ”
"I-, huh, don't you see? I am a pure Chinese. Lu Li smiled: "I have been to the country of rice before, and I know Quinn and Nicole of the fallen angels. ”
"Huh? Do you know Chief Quinn and Miss Nicole? The man was taken aback and stammered, "My name is Jack, sir, what's your name?" ”
"Lu Li."
Jack thought about it, he hadn't heard the name.
However, he didn't have much doubts, and then said: "Mr. Lu, that ghost ship seems to be the Becky, which disappeared in World War II, and it was the main battleship of the year. Legend has it that it mysteriously disappeared during a mission, and in recent decades, it has appeared several times by chance. Every time it appeared, it was either accompanied by a storm or a ship sank. ”
Lu Li agreed and said: "It's indeed a little weird. What, you're going to go up and have a look? ”
"Exactly. I am the third officer of the Mary, and I am responsible for protecting the Mary and dealing with all kinds of dangers. ”
Speaking of this, Jack suddenly lowered his voice and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Lu, the Demon Hunter Organization once tracked the Becky, because according to the records, the Becky disappeared on the way back, and the ship was loaded with hundreds of tons of gold, jewelry, and ivory plundered from Southeast Asian countries. Later, an elite team finally managed to board the ship, only one of them escaped, but they were already crazy. ”
"If it's not my duty, and I can't avoid it, I really don't want to provoke it. It is a demon that can devour people's souls. ”
Since the other party knows the leader of the witchers, he is obviously not an ordinary person. He was the only demon hunter on the ship, and when he encountered such a strange ghost ship and a criminal record, Jack really didn't have much confidence.
The reason why I said this was not so much to ask Lu Li to make a move, but to give myself courage.
However, Lu Li's eyes lit up when he heard it, hundreds of tons of gold jewelry? Although it is useless for him, it cannot be cheapened by other countries!
"Jack, yes! It's better to go up and take a look together, let's each rely on our abilities, whoever finds the gold is counted. Lu Li smiled and proposed.
"No problem."
Jack didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement.
He didn't have much courage in the first place, but now that he was accompanied by someone, he naturally couldn't ask for it. As for the gold, let's survive first!
"Then let's go!"
Lu Li glanced at the ghost ship, and the fish jumped up and jumped into the sea.
(Sorry for the late update.) The first two shifts are repeated, and the second shift is half an hour later. (To be continued......)
