Chapter 8: The Shadow of the Ancient Ship

I don't know how long it took for me to wake up, and the storm had stopped, but it was darker all around, and there was no sound at all, as if everything was asleep. I shook my head, and my whole body felt like an iron fist.

Before...... I came over with a rope and ...... The rope was broken, and Boss Bi and Wang Ziyue ......

I sat up suddenly, "Boss Bi - Wang Ziyue - where are you!" I yelled.

They...... Will it already be ...... On such a dark night, I couldn't see if the fishing boat was still there. I sat on the floor all at once, feeling guilty and lonely.

No one answered, and now it was just me, and it occurred to me that I was just a rich second generation who did nothing, a graduate who was in a mess every day, and maybe my father's words were right before I came, and I was afraid that I would die here. Now I'm on that ghost ship, maybe there won't be youkai, but my imagination can kill me.

To be calm, to be calm, I took a big breath and silently recited the multiplication mantra in my heart. I pulled a waterproof lighter out of my pocket and wiped it.

A faint yellow flame lit up the surroundings, and the deck was so overwhelmed by years of corrosion that I felt like I was stepping on moss.

I took a long breath and walked through the door to the substructure. The wooden walls are completely covered with white sediment. I walked around and visited a lot of cabins, and I felt that this ship was very large, and it should belong to an ancient ocean-going giant ship.

I didn't encounter any ghosts along the way, and my mood gradually calmed down, reassuring myself that maybe it was because the storm blew the ship up at the bottom of the sea.

I tried not to think about the green glow of the old ship when it first came up. "The last room," I said, pulling open the door and stepping inside.

This cabin is bigger than the others, with an armchair and a table. It looks like the captain's quarters. The armchair is turned over and seems to ...... Something was sitting on it.

I held the lighter high and walked over slowly. There was a corpse sitting in an armchair, for some reason, showing no signs of decay other than being covered in fungi.

To be honest, I'm in a cold sweat now, thinking about the scene in the novel where the corpse is turned into a dumpling, and I said that if I really meet it, I will be unlucky.

I could vaguely see his expression, I couldn't believe it, any way to die was acceptable, even if it was scared to death. But it was an exhilarating excitement, I can't describe, a feeling of being in the clouds. It can't be a drug addict!

When I leaned over to look, I found a piece of paper on the inkstone on the table. This must be this man's suicide note, through which I can learn what happened to this ship.

"Xiao Chengren hurt me in danger, here is very fierce, it is a ghost where the fierce place, if there is a touch of gold talisman can still be born, but after I hope, there is no such thing, I use the spirit eye stone obtained by chance to lock the soul, so that it is imprisoned in the boat, and leave a book, to the police. Ealing"

I read it and translated it with my extremely bad classical Chinese level, which probably means: Xiao Chengren framed this person named Yi Ling, probably to lead him to the place where we stayed, and died here because he didn't touch the golden talisman. In order to wake up future generations, he used a method to keep his soul alive, hoping that someone would see it.

This Yi Ling is estimated to be the owner of this corpse, looking at the note, he said that he was very kind, and left a note to warn future generations, but I don't know who dares to come up to his ghost boat.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt a hand pressed on my shoulder, cold and damp, and there was some viscous liquid left on "it's" hand, like blood, very scary.

I screamed, threw my arms back, and then jerked around and saw nothing. I saw something bright and flashed by—a mirror.

I figured that the lighter was running out of gas, and my heart said that I had to hurry up. I walked briskly to the mirror. The material of the mirror is very strange, I touched it, it is jade. I wondered in my heart, how could it be the same as what Boss Bi said?

Could it be that Grandpa's disappearance has something to do with these things? Looks like I've come to the right place.

"Hey, how did you get to this place? We were all scared to death, and we thought you were dead. ”

This time, I was scared, and when I turned around, I found that it was Wang Ziyue.

"What about you?" I couldn't believe it and said, "You guys are still alive, I thought you were ...... What about Boss Bi? ”

"He's looking for you up there."

"No, how did you get up? Aren't all the ropes broken? "That's when I got to the crux of the matter and asked.

"We were lucky that the storm stopped after a while and we came up. Why, are you still expecting us to die? As she spoke, Wang Ziyue grimaced at me.

I hurriedly said, "No, no, I was just too surprised." By the way, come and look at this, do you feel that this mirror is very evil? ”

Wang Ziyue didn't answer my words, but walked up to me and put her arms around my neck at once, and said softly: "Du Hao, do you like me?" ”

My eyes were directly hooked, and I couldn't transfer it at all, I couldn't imagine that Wang Ziyue would be like this. I look at her face, and she has a unique tenderness on her face that intoxicates you.

"Kiss me." Wang Ziyue said in my ear. I couldn't control myself, it was as if I had been snatched out of my soul. What the hell, a single dog like me found a girlfriend so quickly, albeit in a weird way.

My left hand was burned hard, my whole body was agitated, and when I opened my eyes, I realized that I was not facing Wang Ziyue, but the jade mirror! My face was almost on the verge of being in the mirror.

I quickly retreated and left. There was a blur in front of me again, and Wang Ziyue patted me on the shoulder next to me, "What are you doing?" "How is this possible that my ability to think has returned? Wang Ziyue's words just now were very weird and contradictory, which did not fit her character.

It's just that I know they're alive and ignore these things in the excitement. How could they still be alive? Although I can't accept this fact, it doesn't mean that I will continue to be stupid.

I took a few steps back and said vigilantly: "Wang Ziyue, tell me, what is your purpose, are you an illusion of a mirror?" ”

Sure enough, Wang Ziyue's face changed, becoming extremely terrifying, like a zombie, she quickly drew her dagger and swung it at me. I was on guard, dodged, and struck an elbow in the mirror, saying that I couldn't do anything if it didn't work.

"Bang" the mirror shattered and the surrounding illusions disappeared. I sat on the ground with my butt on my head, breathing heavily, my whole body was soaked, and I couldn't slow down for a long time, this Yi Ling was afraid that he was not a good bird, and he didn't know what the idea was to put a phantom mirror in the room.

Strangely, I felt so hot all around, and although it was comfortable, it was ...... The taste is not right. I suddenly came back to my senses, and the fire was already covering all sides, and the lighter that had just fallen off had ignited the boat.

I exclaimed. But there is no way to extinguish the fire, so I can only wait.

It didn't take long for me to jump into the sea and give up hope, "Wang Ziyue, Boss Bi, I'm here to accompany you." ”

Soon it slowly fell into darkness.
