The ship was getting farther and farther away from Tenna Island again, but everyone was still not at ease, except for Charles, who was driving the boat, they all stood at the stern of the boat and watched.

"I almost thought it was a mirage. ”

The appearance of mirages is formed by the refraction of light caused by the different densities of the air. Because the air temperature has a large vertical change over the sea surface, when the air layer below is affected by the cold flow of seawater, the temperature is low, and the air layer below is hot, the abnormal phenomenon of cold and warm will occur. In the process of light propagation, when it passes through layers of air with different densities and temperatures, refraction and total reflection will occur, so that distant objects are presented in front of people.

The mirage is divided into the difference between the orthographic image and the inverted image, and the distant scene that I see in the air is called the upper lip view, and the distant police that I see seems to be upside down in the ground is called the lower lip view.

The falcon recited a poem: "I suddenly heard that there is a fairy mountain on the sea, and the mountain is in the void." ”

It's a pity that what they see is not a mirage, because the positioning system does not deceive.

But at this moment, Yin Wanmeng suddenly walked to the bow of the boat, looked into the distance and said, "Oh no, Charles, turn around!" ”

Early Summer hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Yin Wanmeng pointed to the looming island that could be seen from the bow of the boat: "That's Beisen Island!" We're heading towards Kitamori Island! ”

The lieutenant immediately ran to the cockpit and found that Charles was also at a loss.

Wei Chiran asked, "Why are you heading towards Beisen Island?" ”

Charles shook his head and said, "No, I have always maintained the set course, the ship seems to be going in that direction by itself, and it seems that the rudder does not obey the call." ”

Wei Chi turned around and asked Yin Wanmeng, "Did you find anything abnormal when you were sailing last night?" ”

Yin Wanmeng said: "If I found something abnormal, I would have told you a long time ago, but I didn't find it, which led to this." ”

Everyone panicked instantly, could this ship be controlled by some other force? It kept heading in the direction of Kitamorijima, and even if the power system was turned off, it didn't work, and the ship was still sailing.

Saker held his positioning system and said: "According to my positioning system, the ship was only sailing around Tengna Island last night, and it didn't leave until this morning, and now it has been heading towards Kitamori Island." ”

Strangely, Charles' positioning system showed that they had been following the scheduled route last night, so the answer was obvious, someone had tampered with the instrument.

For the sake of insurance, Yin Wanmeng asked the shipbuilder of the Tengna clan to order goods from the outer islands, because shipbuilders often order this kind of goods due to the different needs of customers, so other organizations or individuals will not easily know that this batch of goods was purchased by Wei Chiran and others, and there is no way to do anything.

Even if you do it, you have to do it on a large number of goods, so it is very easy to be detected and stupid.

Seeing the ship heading towards Kitamori Island uncontrollably, Chuxia had to call everyone to prepare weapons, after all, Kitamori Island is a place where no one should enter, and Mori Kick people will only use weapons to conduct unfriendly exchanges with outsiders.

However, the strange thing is that the ship did not approach Kitamori Island directly, but just began to drive around Kitamori Island, round and round.

Saker looked at the eerie island and said, "Now give me the feeling that we are spinning sushi." ”

Wei Chi suddenly thought of something, and asked Charles: "Charles, did your great-grandfather say what happened to them before they were shipwrecked?" Have you ever passed by Tengna Island or Beisen Island? ”

Charles shook his head and said, "He never mentioned it, he just said that the Mary would rely on India for supplies." ”

The lieutenant returned to the cabin and found the diary of the dead He Yiyuan, as if he remembered what island He Yiyuan had mentioned in his diary.

After turning through the pages, Wei Chiran saw that the diary clearly wrote that after the ships at that time sailed into the Bay of Bengal, there was an unwritten rule, that is, they would never approach Tengna Island and Beisen Island.

"It's strange, why didn't you even get close to Tengna Island at that time?" Wei Chiran raised his eyes and looked at Yin Wanmeng, maybe only she could answer this question, after all, Yin Wanmeng had investigated this island.

Yin Wanmeng said: "I don't know very well, but I just speculate from the fragments of the locals that there was once a war between the Tengna and the Senjiao people, and no one knows what the purpose of the war is." ”

The purpose of war is nothing more than profit, those who start war are for profit, and those who are forced to fight are for survival, so who of these two ethnic groups started the war first? It looks like it's the Tengna, because the Sen Kickers never leave their own island.

But until now, this has remained a mystery.

Yin Wanmeng remembered one more thing: "About six years ago, Zeng Jin had a marine scholar who disappeared on Tengna Island, and he has never been found, because he is British and has a good reputation in Britain, so Britain has been putting pressure on the Indian side, which means that you want to see people alive and corpses when you die." Unable to do anything, India formed a special investigation organization and eventually found the skeletonized body of the scholar on the beach of Tengna Island.

The incident caused a sensation at the time, and the most puzzling thing was how the scholar died, and why did his body naturally appear on the beach a year after the investigation had been underway? And after identification, it was found that he was not immersed in seawater for a long time, because he became a white skeleton, and there were no obvious marks on the bones, and the cause of death was still a mystery.

The Indian side's speculative reply to the British was that the scholar probably drove a boat to Beisen Island, was killed by Sen kickers, and his body was abandoned on land, and then was blown into the sea due to a storm or other natural conditions, and was finally returned to Tengna Island with the tide.

However, anyone with a little common sense in this answer knows that after a person turns into white bones, let alone is washed into the sea, even if he has fallen apart in the process of a storm, how can he appear completely on the beach of Tenna Island, and that beach has been transformed into a beach.

Yin Wanmeng said: "Actually, the Indian side had a more convincing answer at that time, that is, the scholar was murdered, and then the body was hidden somewhere, and the body turned into white bones. ”

Wei Chi was puzzled and said: "It's understandable to kill people and hide corpses, but there is the sea on all sides, isn't it over killing people and throwing corpses?" Why hide the corpse? It doesn't make sense, does it? Isn't that tantamount to leaving a clue? ”

Yin Wanmeng said: "So, this is an unsolved case." ”

While the crowd was talking, Charles walked into the cabin and told them that the ship was now coming to shore on its own.

Wei Chiran and the others immediately became nervous, picked up the weapons in their hands, and carefully stood on the deck to observe, and found that the ship was indeed docked, and slowly sailed towards a reef area.

Charles looked down the side of the ship: "It's over, it's going to hit the rocks." ”

However, Charles's fears proved to be completely unfounded, and although the ship was sailing among the reefs, there was a river-like passage in it, which was completely undetectable from the outside because of the surrounding reefs.

At the moment of entering the passage, everyone found that there were all kinds of white bones hanging on the reefs on both sides, some human and other creatures, and they were all deliberately put together, and each rock seemed to be a terrifying white bone puzzle.

Hatsu looked around and said, "What the hell is this?" ”

Charles also looked scared: "This is probably what Sen kicked people to do, right?" They can't be cannibals, right? Eat people and animals, throw bones here. ”

The Saker looked underneath the hull, "I'm curious now as to why this ship came to this place on its own. ”

Eventually, the ship reached the end of the passage, and at the end was a sea cave, a semi-open sea cave with a hole at the top and a beach below, and all kinds of wrecks of ships on the beach.

The ship finally came to a halt and crashed into the wreck of a nearby ship.

Everyone held on to the railing next to them, and only after the ship was completely stable did they let go and observe the wreckage of the surrounding ships.

Judging from the wreckage of the ships, it seems that there were ships of all ages, but the ships were not very large, and a sea ship like the Mary could not enter here, because the ship was so big, and the largest of the ships here was about the same as a modern medium-sized yacht, and most of them were supposed to be fishing boats.

"Look over there." Charles pointed to a mast in the dark corner of the sea cave, "That's the mast of a big sailing ship." ”

After Charles's explanation, everyone learned that it was the mast of a three-masted galleon, and the three-masted galleon was huge, could travel with the wind at an angle of 65 degrees, and carried a large number of necessities of life, could stay at sea for months, and could even sail around the earth.

However, there is no room for a three-masted galleon in this cave, so where does this mast come from?

Charles looked at the wreck of the nearby ship: "It's weird. ”

Wei Chiran asked, "What's so strange?" ”

"You see," said Charles, "the ship is rotting from the bottom, and it seems to have been slowly devoured by something. ”

After Charles's reminder, everyone realized that the bottom of all the wreckage here had disappeared, as if the ship was not floating on the sea, but in some corrosive liquid.

Charles searched carefully among the wreckage of the ships, and then said, "Strangely, there are many ships here that look like they were made in ancient China. ”

Everyone didn't understand the ship, so naturally they looked at Charles and wondered what this meant?

Charles pointed to the wreckage of the ships on the right and said: "Those ships seem to have come from the hands of the same craftsmen, at least the designers must be the same people, you know, there are differences between the design methods of Chinese and other peoples on ocean-going ships, the main reason is the influence of the concept of freshwater navigation." ”
