Chapter 307: A Tricky Situation
"And how do you tell if we don't have an offset course?"
I stared at Yun Haisheng, I couldn't believe that we had sailed for so long without a path.
However, Yun Haisheng pointed at his head indifferently.
"This is the best way to navigate."
"I'll ...... Then you need to have an instrument to determine where we are now, right? ”
I stared at Yun Haisheng and smacked my tongue, Yun Haisheng nodded again, pointing to a transparent device in the center of the rudder, I took a look, and saw that it was a compass but much more complex than a compass.
"Compass."
Yun Haisheng pointed to the instrument and said, I nodded slightly.
Of course, the function of the compass is the same as that of the compass, except that one is at sea and the other is on land.
"So you're using the compass to determine our course now?"
I stared at Yun Haisheng and asked again, and Yun Haisheng also nodded.
"Then the principle of this compass should be the same as that of a compass, which is affected by a magnetic field, right?"
I asked, and Yun Haisheng nodded again.
"Then if the magnetic field is chaotic, won't the compass be inaccurate?"
I frowned and pointed to the pitch-black thunderclouds above the captain's room.
"We're under a thundercloud right now, so there's supposed to be a magnetic field chaos, right? Could it be that because of this, there is a problem with the compass, so we lose sail at sea? ”
"Possibly."
Yun Haisheng nodded, but I couldn't help frowning, and asked him how he could be so calm.
"Otherwise, what else can be done, big guy?"
Yun Haisheng rolled his eyes and shrugged.
"The sea is no better than the land, and if you want to determine the direction on the sea, you must rely either on the stars, on the tides, or on the compass.
Do you keep your eyes open and see where we are now? Can you see the stars? Can there be normal tides? What else can I believe but this compass? Don't you care about this compass and drive under this thundercloud? That would only make us lose our sails even more, wouldn't it? ”
I was speechless.
It is true that the only thing that can indicate our direction is the compass now, but if, as I said, the chaotic magnetic field of this thundercloud area is also in chaos with this compass, then it means that we have really lost our way in this thundercloud area......
"Why don't I stop first, and you make it clear to everyone in the ghost ship behind you that we're also out of sail, so that they don't follow us?"
At this time, Yun Haisheng stared at me and raised his eyebrows.
"That's not going to work!"
I shook my head without hesitation and vetoed Yun Haisheng's idea.
The skeleton crew of the ghost ship behind has been lost in this thundercloud area for ten years, and if we tell them that we have lost our sails, we can't really say how they would react.
Even if they don't die, they are still human beings, and it is completely impossible to give up when they see new hope ten years after they have lost their sails, and once they know that new hope has been shattered, then they cannot afford such a blow.
Of course, the blow we can't afford is often the fuse to the extreme, so we can't let them know that we have also lost our sails, and we can't let them lose hope in us.
"That's it."
Yun Haisheng clapped his hands and pointed to the compass in the center of the rudder.
"We can only follow this compass now, as for whether we can go out, then we can only pray for the blessing of the sea god~~"
After speaking, Yun Haisheng suddenly came to my ear and whispered another word.
"Eh, Jiang Wangsheng, the black-robed man who controlled the half-human and half-fish before seems to know you and Fang Jin~~"
"But I don't know him."
I stared at Yun Haisheng and raised my eyebrows, but Yun Haisheng didn't retract his head, still staring straight at me in front of me.
I suddenly understood what he meant, and after nodding at him, I offered to talk to Fang Jin.
Of course, I understood what Yun Haisheng meant.
The black-robed man who controlled the half-human, half-fish monster obviously knew me and Fang Jin, and he was obviously here for us.
He wants to kill me with half-human, half-fish monsters and seize the ancient book in my hand, so that means that he has entered this thundercloud area on his own initiative, and according to the characteristics of his ability to control half-human and half-fish monsters, he must be very familiar with this thundercloud area.
In other words, the black-robed man probably knows the way to leave this thundercloud area, and what we have to do is to learn more about the black-robed man.
Of course, at this point, Fang Jin, who can gain insight into people's hearts, will definitely be able to provide us with more information about the black-robed man, after all, he should be able to know what the black-robed man is thinking by taking a glance.
"Go ahead, Fang Jin is in the observation room, have a good talk, and try to find a way out of this thundercloud area before those skeleton crew members get into trouble."
Yun Haisheng waved his hand, I nodded and didn't say anything more, and when I got out of the captain's room, I grabbed the iron fence next to the captain's room all the way and entered the observation room above the top of the captain's room.
And when I entered the observation room, Fang Jin was twisting the night vision device in the observation room and scanning the surrounding sea surface intently, while the purple-eyed black cat possessed by Chu Xun was lying on the platform on the side of the night vision device with his eyes closed, as if he was resting.
"Did you find anything?"
I whispered, of course, to remind Fang Jin that I had entered the observation room.
Fang Jin was stunned for a moment, removed his eyes from the night vision device, and stared at me up and down with those dark eyes.
"Awake? Are you alright? ”
"It's fine."
I shook my head and closed the lookouts.
"How's it going, do you see anything wrong?"
Staring at Fang Jin and continuing to ask, Fang Jin also shook his head, saying that he had been watching for so long, and the only thing he saw that something was wrong was me......
"Something is wrong with me?"
I stared at Fang Jin and raised my eyebrows.
"The black-robed man is clearly coming for you, you say there's something wrong with you?"
Fang Jin gave me a blank look.
"But I don't know the black-robed man at all, it's just that when I was in the detective agency, the black-robed man appeared and wanted to rob my ancient books."
I shrugged at Fang Jin.
"Impossible......"
Fang Jin shook his head and stared straight into my eyes.
"Jiang Wangsheng, that black-robed man, must be someone you know, and he is still someone who has seen me, otherwise he would not have known that I could penetrate his heart."
I listened, and it was only then that I thought that Fang Jin could gain insight into his heart, I hadn't told anyone, and of course Fang Jin would not leak his secrets, so those who knew that Fang Jin could gain insight into other people's hearts must be people who knew Fang Jin and understood Fang Jin.
Such people are, of course, the people around me and Fang Jin, such as Shen Li.
"But I really haven't seen the black-robed man."
I stared at Fang Jin and frowned, but Fang Jin gave me a blank look again.
"Jiang Wusheng, if I burn Lao Cai into charcoal, can you recognize Lao Cai?"
As I listened, my heart moved.
Oh, yes! If it was someone who knew me and Fang Jin, but was later injured by the fire and turned into the black-robed man in this piece of charcoal, then of course we wouldn't be able to recognize who he was originally!
So, Fang Jin and I originally knew each other, but later suffered harm, who could it be?
The people I and Fang Jin know together, except for this time to go to sea, are only those who are in the Xu Qiucheng case.
But those members of the previous generation of the Scorpion Organization in the Xu Qiucheng case, if they were either corrected by me or went to prison, how could there still be people who were active outside and knew us?
And even if there is this person, why doesn't he attack me first, but wait until I go to Kunlun and come back?
This obviously doesn't make sense, then, what makes sense is that this black-robed man has nothing to do with Xu Qiucheng's case, but he is an accomplice to the murderer of the missing case, so he will appear when I get the ancient book and black knife left by my father, because he is also a remnant of a member of the scorpion organization.
But if he thought about it like this, he couldn't meet the conditions for him to understand Fang Jin's ability......
There was a little confusion in his mind, but fortunately he shook his head and stopped thinking about it, but stared at Fang Jin and asked another question.
"Fang Jin, when you saw the black-robed man, you said that the black-robed man was sent by the murderer of the missing case, are you sure?"
"It doesn't have to be sent, but there must be some connection with the murderer in the disappearance, maybe it's an accomplice."
Fang Jin nodded, and I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart.
Of course, he would be happy, because since Fang Jin was able to use his ability to perceive other people's thoughts to determine that the black-robed man was related to the murderer of the missing case, then in other words, we were right to go to sea this time, and the murderer of the missing case should be waiting for us in the treasure place on the cowhide map.
And the murderer of the missing case, the reason why she wants to lead us to the treasure place in this way is very simple, she wants to use all kinds of things in this sea area to kill me, and seize my ancient books and burns. Hot breath ...... Wait a minute!
When I was in the city before, the murderers of the missing cases never killed me, but used the missing people to lead me into all kinds of dangerous places, and killed the demons in those dangerous places......
Yes! When I was in the city, the murderer of the missing person only led me to the dangerous places and made me kill the demons in the dangerous places, and did not really want to kill me.
On the other hand, the black-robed man, from the moment he appeared, he was killing me.
It can be concluded that the murderer of the original disappearance case and the black-robed man had different intentions for me......
