Early the next morning, Han Xue came.

Han Xue cleaned up very beautifully, wearing a long tulle skirt, wearing a huge beach hat, a pair of burgundy toad mirrors on the bridge of her nose, dragging a large trolley suitcase in her hand, a satchel on her body, and a shawl with long hair, which was glamorous and moving.

Compared to her, Li Chaoyang is very casual, T-shirt and jeans, wearing a peaked cap, and a black backpack with him.

The cruise ship is luxurious, the service is top-notch, and it is like coming to paradise.

The aunts of several tour groups also danced square dances by the pool.

Han Xue had a lot of fun, and every time she arrived at a berthing point, she would get off the ship and make a big purchase.

Nothing happened for five days in a row, and the netizen named Nietzsche did not react at all.

It's like the world has evaporated.

It was dark again.

Li Chaoyang stood on the deck smoking a smoky cigarette, and the flickering firelight reflected his resolute face.

The sky was dark and dreary, and the air with a fishy smell was a little dreary, as if it was going to rain.

Not far away, a couple was at the bow of the boat, hugging for a while, kissing for a while, very fanatical.

"Young man, can I borrow the fire?"

Li Chaoyang turned his head and saw that the person was an old man, he was wearing an old-fashioned military shirt, and his clothes were tucked into suit pants, although he was old, he had a unique military temperament from the inside out.

In particular, the PLA letters on his belt buckle indicate his identity even more, he was once a soldier.

Li Chaoyang took out the lighter and handed it over.

The old man lit his cigarette and took a deep puff.

"Thank you." The old man glanced not far away and frowned, "It's going to rain." ”

"yes, it's going to rain." Li Chaoyang put away the lighter and replied.

"It's not an ordinary rain, it's a heavy rainstorm, it's not a second." The old man's expression became even more solemn.

Li Chaoyang couldn't help but be interested.

"Any questions?" Li Chaoyang asked.

"A lot of questions, don't you think this ship is a little strange?"

Odd?

Li Chaoyang really didn't find out about this.

"What's weird?"

"It's a converted ship, I've seen the layout, it used to be a cargo ship, and just now when I passed by the engine room, I noticed that the engine sound was very muffled, it seemed that the power system was malfunctioning, and that was a big problem."

There really isn't much that Li Chaoyang knows about the ship.

"It seems that you know a lot about ships, you didn't know the navy before, did you?" Li Chaoyang quipped.

The old man waved his hand and said that he would not mention the previous things, his name was Zhou Shucheng, he used to be a naval colonel, and he had been floating on the sea all his life.

Knowing the identity of the old man, Li Chaoyang admired it even more.

Zhou Shucheng frowned, and said with a solemn expression: "The engine is the heart of a ship, it must be strictly checked before setting sail, even if the engine is not moved elsewhere, it must be kept in good condition, if so many people on this ship have problems, who will be responsible?" ”

"Could it be because the engine is too expensive?" Li Chaoyang asked again.

"It's not that simple, even if it is not renovated, at least it must be guaranteed to run well, since I got on the ship, I found that this ship has a lot of strange places, how can I tell you, it is like a broken ship with a new layer of paint, it looks shiny, in fact, it is rotten inside, and there is a risk of anchoring at any time in the current situation."

Saying that, Zhou Shucheng raised his head and glanced at the sky, and said: "We have deviated from the route, this is a cruise ship, it stands to reason that it should go along the coastline, but do you see that there is still land around?" ”

Li Chaoyang turned around and looked around, and sure enough, it was dark all around, if it was on the coastline, then there were basically cities, villages and towns along the way, and the lights were bright.

That was the case for the first few days.

Even if there are no lights, at least you can see the pilot lights on the lighthouse.

No matter how bad it is, you can see other ships passing by.

But there was nothing here, and it was pitch black not far away.

That is to say that they deviated from the course and away from the coastline.

"Once an accident occurs, even if it is too late to ask for help, just like the Titanic, there are not many people who died at the beginning, if the rescue is timely, many people can survive, but the shipwreck is not if, the risk of staying away from the route will increase exponentially, and the storm is coming, how can this not be worrying."

"The ship is cursed." A gloomy voice came from behind.

It was a middle-aged woman, dressed in a dark robe with a cross around her neck, dressed like a nun with an Asian face.

Curse?

Li Chaoyang chuckled in his heart, this word had a more complex meaning to him, like a thorn in his heart.

"Cursed? What curse? Li Chaoyang asked.

"Have you heard of the curse of the Titanic? It sank because it was cursed, and there were several special passengers on board besides people. ”

The woman's expression was very mysterious, and she said in a low voice: "Four mummies, that's right, there are four more mummies on the ship, among them is Princess Yamanra, she should have been sleeping in the pyramid, whoever dares to disturb her will be cursed, and several people who have been dealt with have died." ”

"What does that have to do with that, don't tell me we have mummies on our ship, do you?" Zhou Shucheng obviously didn't believe in this.

The woman seemed to be prepared, and she took a worn-out poster out of her pocket.

The poster is not large, it is more than half damaged, written in both Thai and English, although it is incomplete, you can still see a beautiful cruise ship on the poster.

The white deck, the blue hull, the fluttering bunting, and the neat service team.

Li Chaoyang was shocked, isn't this Queen Mary?

"I have to admit that this is indeed the same ship." Zhou Shucheng said with certainty.

However, Li Chaoyang did not react, his eyes were deeply attracted by the cruise ship's port.

That's three big words brushed out of white paint: 370!

Cruise ship 370, full name Blue Space.

The cruise ship departed from Bangkok and arrived in Antarctica, but due to the damage of the poster, it was no longer clear when the specific time was issued.

The poster page is yellowed, many words have fallen out, there are a lot of folds, and the time is at least more than a year.

"See? 370, the ship is the Queen Mary, but it has been repainted. The woman's smile became even more mysterious.

Li Chaoyang handed the poster to Zhou Shucheng, who glanced at it and nodded affirmatively.

"Judging from the layout, it is indeed the same ship, but I don't agree with any curse, 370 is a flight, we are a cruise ship, it can't be the same day at all, and this is a passenger ship, there is no need for a port number at all, what you see is not a board number, it should be the name of the ship, there should be other names in front of this number, such as blue 370 and so on."

"Then I ask you, why did they alter the gunwales?" The woman was a little unconvinced.

"yes, why did they change the port number, can the port number be changed if you want to?" Li Chaoyang was also a little confused.

Zhou Shucheng shook his head: "Of course, the port number can't be changed casually, I said that this is not the port number, it is the name of the ship, it may be that after the accident of Flight 370, I felt unlucky, so I changed the name of the ship." ”

His statement was approved by Li Chaoyang, after all, the ship was going to come to China to do business, and the 370 was like a nightmare, and if it was not changed, I am afraid that no one would get on the ship.

If that's the case, then this poster has been in circulation for at least five years.

Where did this woman get such a shabby poster?

The woman was not satisfied with such an answer, she took back the poster and turned to leave.

After walking a few steps, he turned around and stared at Li Chaoyang.

The look in his eyes was very weird, and he didn't seem to be looking at Li Chaoyang, but behind Li Chaoyang.

"My name is Sue Marie, and if you believe in me your soul can be saved."

After saying that, the woman drew a cross on her chest and disappeared from view.
