Chapter 48: The Sea of Oblivion
The icy sea water continued to wash Tang Juyi's face, and the slightly irritating touch also woke him up from his coma.
The long-term immersion in seawater made Tang Juyi's movements a little weak, and the high-salt seawater washed his eyeballs, so that he couldn't even open his eyes.
You have entered a Special Zone: Sea of Oblivion.
"There's a newcomer here! Hurry up ......"
……
"Uncle Chuan, you throw it on time! Don't stab him to death......"
……
"Hand slippery! I swear it's really hand slippery! ”
……
"Grinding and chirping ......"
……
The intermittent shouting came into Tang Juyi's ears, which also made his consciousness a little clearer, and he also had a general understanding of the situation he was in:
He was now floating on the surface of a sea that, according to the hint, was supposed to be the so-called Forgotten Sea
A hard object fell into the sea beside Tang Juyi, and then hit Tang Juyi's waist, dragging him in a certain direction.
"Eh, hit!"
An unfamiliar voice said with some excitement.
"Throw it three times, Uncle Chuan, how many dishes do you have?"
Another voice with a hint of disdain also sounded.
"Didn't I wake up......"
Although Tang Juyi wanted to struggle a little, he was in a strange state of powerlessness at this time, and he couldn't get rid of the pull of the object.
It didn't take long for Tang Juyi to feel that the direction of his tugging had changed, and at the same time, he had hit an unknown obstacle.
Crash
Tang Juyi broke away from the embrace of the sea, and then was grabbed by the collar and pulled directly onto the dry plank.
"Tsk, I don't look strong, I didn't expect it to be quite heavy."
Tang Juyi had the impression that this voice was the man who excitedly said "hit" before.
"Boy, are you awake?"
The man squatted beside Tang Juyi and patted his face.
With a few pats from this man, Tang Juyi's powerless state quickly subsided.
Effortlessly opened his eyes, and a scruffy face came into view.
This man looks like he is in his thirties, and the stubble on his face has not been carefully cared for, but his facial features look very easy to make people feel good.
"Looks like I'm awake."
The man smiled, then beckoned to the side:
"Dog, get on the towel!"
The younger male voice threatened:
"I warn you, call me a dog and I'll play with you!"
The middle-aged man known as "Uncle Chuan" pouted:
"It's quite tsundere...... You have a 'Gou' in your own name, do you still blame me? ”
A warm towel was applied to Tang Juyi's face, and the warm airflow dispelled the cold on his body, allowing him to recover a lot.
Uncle Chuan wiped Tang Juyi's face while continuing to talk to the young man next to him:
"'Gou Zi' you are not satisfied, what is that called you? Xiao Gou? Gou Gou? ”
Young people broke out:
"You'll die if you call me my full name!"
Uncle Chuan raised the towel and waved it, posing as a "surrender":
"Gotcha!"
The young man took a few deep breaths, as if suppressing his anger:
"Explain to this newcomer yourself, I'll go to the council hall first."
Then, the footsteps gradually faded away, and I didn't know where to go.
Uncle Chuan shrugged his shoulders, picked up the towel and was about to continue wiping the young man next to him, but found that the latter had already sat up.
"Yes, it's going to recover pretty quickly."
Uncle Chuan was a little surprised.
Tang Juyi rubbed his forehead:
"Okay...... I take the liberty of asking, what is this place? ”
The man known as Uncle Chuan squatted next to Tang Juyi and smiled:
"Won't you see for yourself?"
Tang Juyi raised his head when he heard this, and immediately understood what this man meant.
"It's ...... A ship??? ”
Tang Juyi was a little incredulous.
Uncle Chuan smiled even brighter:
"yes...... Welcome to the Ship of Theseus! ”
Tang Juyi was stunned for a moment:
"[Ship of Theseus]? Who gave such a sassy name? ”
Uncle Chuan looked mysterious at this time:
"You'll find out about this ship in a moment when you go to the council chamber. For now, all you need to do is follow me quietly. ”
Tang Juyi sighed:
"Okay......"
It was a vessel of greater size and scale than Tang Juyi had recognized, and its entirety seemed to be made of unknown wooden materials.
Although it is said to be wooden, this ship seems to be much stronger than Tang Juyi imagined.
[This ship is protected by a mysterious force and is difficult to destroy]
This is the hint that Tang Juyi got after touching the wooden board of this [Ship of Theseus].
It seems that there is a lot of unknown things hidden in this ship.
Tang Juyi walked behind Uncle Chuan, and at the same time turned his head to look at the sea outside the ship, but he could only see the endless black sea area and the gray sky.
"This [Forgotten Sea] is the source of all newcomers, and other newcomers like you, including us, were picked up from here and brought to this boat."
Uncle Chuan said with some sighs.
Tang Juyi keenly grasped something:
"There are other newcomers?"
Uncle Chuan said casually:
"Of course, and quite a few...... You'll have to behave better in a while, or you might not even be eligible to join us. ”
Tang Juyi raised his eyebrows:
"Oh? If I am deemed ineligible to join you, what will happen to me? ”
Uncle Chuan's footsteps paused, looked back at Tang Juyi, and showed a meaningful smile:
"Thrown overboard to feed the fish, of course."
Seeing that Tang Juyi's face changed, Uncle Chuan laughed again:
"Hahaha, just kidding, there will be no fish in the Sea of Oblivion."
Then the man smiled and walked forward.
Tang Juyi narrowed his eyes:
"But you'll still be thrown off the ship, won't you?"
Uncle Chuan didn't look back, but asked half-jokingly:
"What do you say?"
…………
The heavy door panel was pushed open by Uncle Chuan, and the interior of the conference hall was also displayed in front of Tang Juyi, which shocked his heart.
This so-called "council chamber" is actually a large hall large enough to be used for opera, and it is lavishly decorated, and there is a classical Western charm everywhere.
Judging from the decoration alone, Tang Juyi may think that he has come to a private cruise ship of a wealthy man.
The chamber has a large oval marble table with cutlery and wine glasses arranged in an orderly manner, and even a handkerchief to wipe the mouth.
At this time, there were already a lot of people sitting in the conference hall, and Tang Juyi only roughly estimated that there were no less than twenty.
It's just that among the more than 20 people, the aura of six people is far from being comparable to the other dozen people, including the things contained in the depths of their eyes, which make people unconsciously feel a sense of awe.
"These six should be the old men on this ship......"
Tang Juyi immediately made a judgment.
Uncle Chuan stretched out his finger and motioned for Tang Juyi to sit with the more than ten wet newcomers:
"You go over there."
As for himself, he walked to the six people on the other side of the stone table.
Tang Juyi nodded, didn't bother with anything, and naturally found a place to sit down, while observing the appearance of the people around him.
In less than three seconds, Tang Juyi obtained a lot of information.
"Eighteen newcomers, thirteen men and five women, and the few who can be considered calm are less than four people."
Tang Juyi's gaze turned to the seven people on the other side, and he also secretly made a judgment:
"The person in charge of this ship should be her ......"
The "she" Tang Juyi refers to is the woman whose aura is faintly dominant among the seven old men, a young woman with different pupils on her left and right eyes.
The woman's eyes were black and white, with no distinction between pupils and whites, only pure color. When her gaze swept over, a palpitation arose.
Sure enough, the young woman who was identified by Tang Juyi as the one in power took the lead in breaking the silence.
"You are all transcendents who have just experienced the first dimensional world, and you must not know a lot of things."
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Wen Weizhi, I am the leader of this ship, and I will be the future captain of some of you."
Speaking of this, Wen Wei's black and white eyes revealed a terrifying pressure, causing the other people around Tang Juyi to turn pale.
"For the questions in your mind, I will only answer the new players that I recognize. As for the others, I'm sorry, but I won't allow you to stay on my ship. Because in this ship, there is no waste. ”
Wen Weizhi knocked on the table, and his tone was full of indifference:
"The next step is the process of removing the waste."
"If you don't have the qualifications to stay, you don't have the qualifications to learn about the extradimensional."
"Not even more qualified, live."
As soon as these words came out, an extremely oppressive atmosphere enveloped the entire council chamber.
While the others were panicking, Tang Juyi leaned forward with interest.
In his opinion, the purpose of the ship was quite to his liking.
