Chapter 1: A Strange Mist

Next Chapter

The turquoise sea, the sand not far away, the seagulls of the ocean, it seems that there is nothing wrong with everything.

The only thing that has changed is the sudden extra sailboat not far away.

"What's that, look, how can there be a wooden sailboat, is this a movie?"

On the deck of the Navy Blue cruise ship, a girl clapped her hands excitedly and shouted.

"That ship looks like a Song boat," said a young man who knew a little bit about history.

"No, it's a Viking sailboat, I've seen it in the movie," a guy immediately objected, "You see its hull is very narrow, and the Song ship is obviously wider than him." The argument between the two guys did not attract onlookers, but on the contrary, everyone paid more attention to where they were now.

"Where are we, I remember that we just passed through a fog, maybe it is a crossing, I saw a similar plot in a novel, saying that the sea encountered fog, in fact, sometimes the time and space tunnel opened." A girl who could tell that she was fascinated by reading a novel explained to her companions.

At this time, the people on the deck of the sea blue cruise ship were all speculating about the sailboat that suddenly appeared, only Zhao Shijie had been silent, looking at the sailboat in the distance, he could be sure that this was definitely not the time and space before, he could breathe the air of this sea area and the air he usually breathed was different from the air he usually breathed after working on the seaside for many years.

"Here, smoke a cigarette and look at what your expression seems to have discovered." A man behind Zhao Shijie suddenly patted him on the shoulder, smiled and handed over a cigarette.

Zhao Shijie smiled and waved his hand, "Thank you, don't smoke." After finishing speaking, he glanced at the other party, dressed in a straight black suit, with shiny and shiny middle-parted hair, which seemed to be very fan, very much like a traitor translator in the Anti-Japanese War TV series.

The man was a little uncomfortable by him, and introduced himself with a smile, "Liu Yun, a professional private detective, according to my personal opinion, this place is not like the Xisha Islands, the air in the Xisha Islands is not so fresh, I have been to that place once." ”

"Really? You think so, though I haven't been there, but I agree with the air I've breathed from my years of working at the beach, and now the only way to find out what's going on is to get close to the sailboat, and if there's anyone on it, all the puzzles will be clear. Zhao Shijie looked at the sailboat in the distance.

At this time, in the captain's room, Captain Wang Tiehammer was also looking at his men with a puzzled expression, "Are you sure that the location set by the navigation and positioning system is finally displayed near the Australian waters, not the Xisha Islands." "Of course, captain, you can see it if you don't believe it," the guy handed the ipad in his hand to Wang Tiexuan. This is transmitted to the tablet through the built-in navigation system in the cockpit before the navigation signal is lost, and its purpose is to let the captain know the extent of the ship's navigation area and navigation status at all times.

"Well, it seems to be true, what's going on with that ship, have you found anything wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, the ship doesn't seem to have moved, captain, now that there is no signal for navigation, do we want to lean over to see what is going on, if there is someone, we can also ask clearly." The lad suggested.

"Damn, but before that, notify the security team to prepare for emergencies, and announce the passengers on the deck to return to the cabin and close the door to the deck to prevent accidents." Wang Tiehammer resolutely commanded, and his years of experience as a captain told him that he must minimize the danger that existed.

Then a broadcast sounded on the passenger ship of the Sea Blue, "Attention passengers, please note passengers, I am the announcer Xiao Li, because there is an unknown ship ahead, in order to ensure the safety of everyone, please return to the cabin immediately after staying on deck." After five minutes we will close the door from the cabin to the deck area. ”

After the broadcast, the crowd on the deck was in a flurry of ear to ear.

"Is there something wrong, otherwise how would we get back to the cabin?" Some of them began to doubt.

However, most people still choose to return to the cabin, after all, unknown dangers exist, and no one wants to be harmed.

Zhao Shijie and Liu Yun also returned to the cabin lounge with the crowd, and the two found a place to sit down, waiting for the puzzle to be revealed.

In the captain's room, the announcer Xiao Li was reporting the situation like Wang Tiehammer at the end.

"Captain, everyone has entered the cabin, and the security team is ready, now let's get up immediately."

"Let's go, let's go to the cab." After Wang Tie urged him, he strode out of his office and walked towards the cab.

"Captain, everything is ready, we are about half a nautical mile away from that sailboat, and it will only take two minutes at most to get up." Chief Engineer reported.

"Yes, lean in." Wang Tiehammer nodded.

Now, like all the crew, he is as eager to know where he sailed, but after passing through a fog, how to navigate and locate the positioning system will finally appear near the Australian waters. Judging from the map, it should be near the waters of Fremantle, which is an important port on the west coast of Australia, and there are not hundreds of ships cruising in this sea area every day, but there are dozens, and it stands to reason that it should not just run into a wooden dhow.

Two minutes later, when the ship quickly approached the wooden sailboat, the huge wave impact almost overturned the sailboat, and the crew of the wooden sailing boat was now looking at the big iron ship with a horrified expression.

"Sea monsters, sea monsters,".

The people on the wooden sailboat hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to the big iron boat and begged for mercy.

This scene surprised the visitors in the wheelhouse and cabin, and although the two ships were separated by some distance, they could see every move of the people on the opposite deck.

With the help of the binoculars, Wang Tiehammer can clearly look at the dress of the crew on the opposite deck, with their hair tied up in sackcloth, is this dress filming a TV series.

"Chen Wenqing, take a few people to the deck to see the situation."

"Yes, Captain."

"Hey, are you guys making a movie, which studio?" A security guy who walked onto the deck with Chen Wenqing shouted at the people on the wooden sailboat.

Zhao De, the captain who was kneeling on the wooden sailboat, raised his head and seemed to hear the shouting of the guy opposite, although he didn't understand it very well. But it seems to have a bit of a northern accent, at a glance at the other party's dress, white clothes, white pants, short hair, although the dress is very strange, but it is certain that these are people, not monsters, but what he didn't expect was how could people come out of the belly of this sea monster, could these be immortals, this sea monster is a magic weapon of the fairy family, otherwise how could it be in the blink of an eye.

Zhao De figured it out and was not ambiguous about this, continued to kneel, and hugged his fists towards Chen Wenqing and the others, "Zhao De, a businessman in the Guangzhou Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, strayed into the fairyland, and asked all the immortals to let me wait for a way to live, and I will definitely offer incense and candles to thank me for my kindness when I go back." ”

In Zhao De's mind, he and the others just went south to Luzon to do a little business, but they didn't expect to arrive in this unknown sea area after passing through a period of fog, and after encountering a big ship without sails and brakes like the Sea Blue, he naturally blamed them for coming here, it must be the immortals who cast a spell to get themselves and others here.

"Captain, did you hear what he said clearly, how do I feel that something is wrong, Daming Guangzhou Mansion."

Chen Wenqing is a Cantonese, and of course he can understand the Cantonese spoken by the other party. It's just that he was also thinking about what was wrong, and when the guy in the team mentioned this, he found out, yes, Daming Guangzhou Mansion, who would say so if it were a modern person.

"Put the rope ladder down and let someone send over." Chen Wenqing was also a little confused about the situation now, so he asked the other party to send someone over to the wheelhouse to say hello to the captain.

A few minutes later, Zhao De, who stepped on the rope ladder and came up, knelt down again and kowtowed to the crowd a few times, and then begged to let them go.

Chen Wenqing didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly helped him up and took him to the cab.

Wang Tiezhu had already heard a security guard tell him about the general situation before Zhao De came, so he was not much surprised when he said that he was from Daming Guangzhou Mansion, but continued to ask him about the current time, which year of Daming.

Zhao De replied respectfully, they are the thirteenth year of Chongjia, the second day of the fourth month of the sea out of the sea, the reason why they came here is also through a period of fog, if this is the case, it means that now everyone is not sure what year it is.

If the navigation and positioning are not wrong, this is the Fremantle sea area, then landing on the shore should be able to find the answer you want, but it is certain that Zhao De and these Ming Dynasty people are absolutely true, and it can be seen from their words and deeds, and there is no need to make up stories to deceive themselves.

Thinking about this, Wang Tiehammer decided that before docking, it was still necessary for all passengers to know the news, otherwise there might be some chaos after docking. Wang Tieqi voiced his concerns, and all the crew members and people in charge in the cab nodded in agreement.
