The First Volume: The Mountain Rain is Coming, the Wind is Full of Buildings, the First Chapter 16: Sighing for the Cold and Dustless (3)
In the blue-and-white balcony room, the young man leaned against the wall with his hands on his chest and said while watching TV: "Reverse the sword." β
On the walk-in balcony, the girl was holding a peachwood sword, and when she heard her brother's words, she quickly set up the sword, rotated her forearm inward, and pulled out the close-fitting arc from the bottom to the front and the top, all in one go.
"Right Cloud Sword. β
The girl responded with a flat sword, and circled the front of her head to the right and back, while tilting her head to the side of her right shoulder, like flowing water.
"Cut the wrist flowers. β
The girl takes the wrist as the axis, stands the sword on both sides of the arm, and stands in a circle around the body forward and down, with beautiful and light movements.
"To pick up the sword, you must reach the front of the blade, so that you can provoke the opponent's attack. Coming to the balcony, the young man took the peachwood sword from his sister's hand, made a standard positive sword, and then made a Zuo Yun sword casually, "Cloud sword, the force must be even, ensure the balance of the body, you did a good job." β
"The wrist flower, composed of a hanging sword and a splitting sword, is a combination of swordsmanship, and it must reach the tip of the sword. With a slight sound of breaking the air, the young man made a wrist flower, held the sword with his backhand and handed it over, "The core of basic swordsmanship is strength, and if you want to practice the sword well, you must master the strength." Do it again. β
"Do you still want to practice, can you rest for a while?" the girl grimaced.
"It's only been a long time since I've been practicing, hurry up. β
"Harsh. The girl reluctantly took the peachwood sword and continued to practice the sword.
Half an hour later, the doorbell rang, and the young man opened the door, and it was the middle-aged black man standing next to the captain during his speechβthe first mate, his round belly so that the buttons of his black uniform would burst at any moment.
"Hello, Captain Loves has organized an after-dinner reception and cordially invites you both. The first mate made his intentions clear and handed over a gorgeous invitation, "Passengers in the superior balcony room and the presidential suite area will receive invitations, and I hope that the two of you will not refuse the captain's kindness." β
"Since it is the captain's kind invitation, how can we refuse?" the young man accepted the invitation, "Don't worry, we will attend on time." β
"Drink to meet. The first mate smiled gently, waved his hand and turned away.
Looking at the fat back of the first mate, the young man chuckled: "I want to cover it." β
Even if the captain organizes a cocktail party, there is no need for the first mate to send the invitation in person, not to mention that the first mate only has an invitation in his hand.
There are not 1,000 but 500 passengers in the Superior Balcony Room and Presidential Suite area, so could it be that they happen to be the last travelers?
"Aft deck. Looking at the location on the invitation, the young man smiled coldly, "Where is the captain's cocktail party? β
"Brother, who is it?" came the girl's voice from inside the room.
"Auntie who cleans. The young man said, closing the door.
Turning into another corridor, the first mate made an "OK" gesture to the man in black who was already waiting here: "That kid accepted the invitation and agreed to participate in the reception." β
"Good. The man in black pulled out a thick stack of bills from his pocket, "Remember, all cameras on the aft deck must be turned off at all times." β
"It's been turned off a long time ago, don't worry. The first mate counted the dollar bills, and he couldn't help it.
In fact, as the young man thought, the captain did not organize the drinking party at all, it was the man in black who bought the first mate, and the man in black in front of him was Namoto Amuro's subordinate.
.
.
.
The aft deck is very spacious, although it is slightly smaller than the bow deck, but it is enough to accommodate hundreds of people without being crowded.
Because of the remote location and the lack of entertainment facilities, it is rare for people to come to the aft deck.
The sea breeze blew the bunting on the side of the ship, the LED lights drove away the darkness on the deck, and the young man walked around a corner to this open place.
In the center, a wooden round table covered with a white tablecloth is displayed, and the warm candlelight illuminates the four wooden chairs next to the table and the precious drinks on the table.
Namoto Amuro and Konan Nagasawa sat at the round table, the other two wooden chairs empty.
Seeing the young man coming, Namoto Amuro took the initiative and said, "You're also here for the party?"
The young man smiled and said, "How can you not participate in the invitation sent by the first mate himself?"
Amuro's eyes narrowed slightly, and the young man clearly had something to say.
Seeing that the two of them smelled of gunpowder as soon as they talked, Kotonan Nagasawa on the side glanced at Namoto Amuro and signaled him not to be impulsive: "Nako-kun Amuro, this is ......"
"I mentioned to you a Miss Chen, and this is her brother. Namoto Amuro looked at the young man, "Blame me for being negligent, I forgot to ask before, what do you call it?"
"My surname is Chen, and the Miss Chen I told you about is a brother and sister. β
"Dear brothers and sisters, no wonder Miss Chen obeys Chenjun's words. Namoto Amuro smiled and introduced Konan Nagasawa to the young man, "This is Nagasawa-kun, my good friend." β
Nagasawa Qinnan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Nagasawa Qinnan." β
The young man nodded, but did not shake hands with Kotanan Nagasawa. Looking around, he frowned and said, "Did I see the wrong place?
"Chenjun is not mistaken, the wine party is here. It's just that the captain has something important, so the drinking party was temporarily canceled. "Nagasawa Qinnan has already prepared his words.
"Is that so? It's a pity, it's a trip for nothing. The young man cooperated with the two of them to act, and said regretfully.
"Although the captain's drinking party has been canceled, fortunately, Chang Zejun is prepared, and I don't know if Chenjun is willing to sit with his face. Seeing that the young man was leaving, Amuro Namoto said.
"Chenjun, don't be polite. Konan Nagasawa also said.
"Okay, since I'm prepared, I'm naturally not welcome. The young man said, another pun on the word.
Nagasawa Qinnan's eyes flashed, and he didn't say anything.
The young man looked at the twelve strong men in black standing on the side of the ship, and said with a smile: "Do you have to bring so many people with you when you drink?
"Is there a difference? I don't know what difference Chenjun has on the two. Namoto Amuro said.
"It's not an understanding, it's just some of my own opinions. The young man walked to the round table and sat down on a wooden chair, "Actually, it is easy to understand that the passive is the bodyguard, and the active is the thug." β
"As soon as I heard it, I knew that Chenjun was a cultural person, and cultural people generally have their own unique views on things. Namoto Amuro waved his hand, and one of his men stepped forward to pour wine for the young man, and the amber liquid flowed from the crystal bottle into the tulip cup, mixed with a rich floral fragrance with a spicy scent.
"Remy Martin, you two will enjoy it. β
"If I had known that I could meet Chenjun here, I would have brought the good wine that I have treasured for many years. Nagasawa Qinnan smiled lightly.
The young man ignored his words and drank quietly.
After tasting it, the young man put down his wine glass and asked with a smile: "Both, is it battlefield etiquette or a social means to salute first and then soldier?"
"Chenjun's words are always thorny. Amuro's face sank, and he secretly scolded the young man for not knowing how to lift.
The young man poured himself wine and ignored him.
Seeing this, Amuro Naben was about to get angry, but was stopped in time by Konan Nagasawa with his eyes.
"Chenjun, why don't you see Miss Chen? Nagasawa Qinnan asked.
"She's practicing swords, and I'm enough for one. β
"Practicing swords, I didn't expect Miss Chen's hobby to be so special. Nagasawa Qinnan was stunned for a moment, and wiped her mouth with a tissue, "It's a pity that she can't practice for the time being." In order to ensure that both of them were there, I specially arranged for two of my men to tell them that if one of them didn't come, they must be invited!"
"What's the matter? no longer hiding it?" the young man shook the wine in his glass, unconcerned about Nagasawa Kotanan's words.
"You have a saying in China that says it very well, it is called 'open the skylight and speak brightly'. Nagasawa Qinan smiled faintly.
"Everything is foreseen, and if it is not prepared, it is wasted, good means. "But you may not know that I have a bad habit of hating people who disturb my sister, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I hate them, especially when she is practicing swords." β
Namoto Amuro scoffed, "So what?"
Nagasawa Qinnan replied for the young man: "There is nothing to do. β
"No, no, no, this little thing is still within my reach. The young man raised his glass to Nagasawa Qinnan, "Those two people don't know how to be polite, I have already solved it for you, and the corpse is around the corner." You don't have to thank me, just for Louis XIII's sake. Oh, by the way, the first mate's corpse is too. Sometimes, doing things depends not only on the pay, but also on the price, you can earn it again when the money is gone, and you really have to wait for the next life if your life is gone. β
Konan Nagasawa was silent and looked directly at him, his gaze sharpening, trying to see if he was lying.
Namoto Amuro turned to look at one of his subordinates, waved his hand, and said, "Go and see." β
The subordinate answered, and walked around the corner.
In a short time, the bodies of the first mate and the two men in black were carried to the deck, and the necks of all three were pierced by a foot-long ice spike, and the blood clotted, and the strange thing was that the ice spikes were not only not stained red by the blood, but also did not melt in the slightest.
"What a ruthless method. Namoto Amuro's eyes drooped.
"I can't get on the table. The youth said.
Seeing that he was calm, Namoto Amuro said in a deep voice: "I can still change my face until now, and I am beginning to admire you." β
"Since you don't want to lose face, we don't need to leave it for you. Nagasawa Qinnan said lightly, although he was shocked by the skills of the young man, but the advantage of being more people made him full of confidence.
"So, the two of you sent someone to stare at our brother and sister to save face for me? The young man chuckled, "Reminder, I have always had a bad appetite and don't eat soft and hard, so don't leave me this thing for face." β
"You don't want to toast and eat and drink!" "Amuro Namoto couldn't bear it anymore and slapped the table angrily.
"It's a bit of a man. The young people expressed their opinions, which seemed to be both appreciative and mocking.
"You want to die!" Amuro Namoto's eyes widened with rage.
Nagasawa Qinnan waved his hand, signaling him to be restless, looked at the young man, and directly showdowned: "Our purpose is very simple, you go with us and work for our boss." β
The young man shook his head helplessly: "Then it's time to say things like guaranteeing me fine clothes and food, glory and wealth, please, can't you have something fresh? What is the importance of the 22nd century? Keep pace with the times." β
"Those who know the times are handsome, and it is better to be soft than house arrest, and you can suffer less from flesh and skin. Nagasawa Qinnan's voice cooled.
"You want something fresh, don't you?" "Then I'll get you something fresh!" Namoto Amuro said coldly, "I'm telling you, I've taken a fancy to your sister, and there are only two choices in front of you, either die orβ"
"That's it, death is the perfect ending for you, and there is no more suitable one. The young man interrupted Namoto Amuro, his index finger shaking at him, and then poured himself another glass of wine, "I'm sorry, I've been talking a lot lately, but there's no need to talk so much with the dead, what do you think?"
With a snap, the glass was slammed onto the deck by Namoto Amuro and shattered into glass.
Immediately, the strong men in black quickly surrounded them and blocked all the escape routes.
"They will teach you how to be a human being and make you recognize reality. Amuro got up and threw the napkin he had finished wiping his hands on the table.
"We'll talk when you're sober. Nagasawa Qinnan also got up and raised his glass slightly at the young man.
The two of them stepped aside, making room for the strong men who had already been defined as thugs.
Twelve strong men stepped forward, either with fierce eyes or grinning, ready to try.
"Your sister, I'm going to sleep tonight!" said Amuro's voice, and after saying this, he felt a sudden feeling in his heart.
"You should really think about the consequences of angering me. The young man's voice sank, "Do you know Cao Xun? Taiwei in the late Northern Song Dynasty of China, his "Jiuquanzi" is very rhyming, and I like one of the sentences very much, and I will read it to you. β
As he spoke, the young man had already stood up, his right hand poked out, and the palm facing the night sky lit up with a bright blue light, and the light points spilled downward, and the halo flowed around his body.
The sudden scene made everyone stunned, Amuro Namoto and Nagasawa Konan looked at each other in shock, and the twelve strong men hesitated, not knowing whether to do it or not.
"Sigh the cold ......" The young man's right hand slowly turned, the temperature on the deck dropped sharply, and the water vapor condensed, forming a white cold current in the pitch-black sky.
The sudden drop in temperature made everyone shiver, and the cold snap that exuded a dangerous aura made everyone shiver.
After being stunned for a moment, someone thought of running, but when they moved, they were shocked to find that they were not only sluggish in thinking, but also extremely sluggish in their movements.
The young man of "Bingyan ......" squatted down suddenly, knelt on one knee, and waved his raised right hand down and slapped it on the deck.
The cold current swooped down as if it had received an oracle of attack, and the target was directed at everyone!
Hit by a cold snap, the stern building was instantly in a harsh environment of low temperature, humidity, and cold wind.
Suddenly, the ice covered the deck, and seventeen crystal ice sculptures turned into living people and corpses appeared on the deck.
"Dust-free. The young man got up, used force on his wrist to lift his right hand up, and then put his five fingers together and gently pushed forward.
At the moment when the palm was launched, a terrifying scene occurred.
Nagasawa Qinnan, who turned into an ice sculpture, had dense cracks all over his body, his face was cracked, his limbs were shattered, and the sound of breaking came and went, and the ice sculpture was shattered, turning into red ice chips, which drifted away with the wind.
Then, the ice sculptures that looked like handicrafts were broken one after another.
On the empty deck, the wind was bitter and the ice was full of debris, like a red blizzard, but this blizzard was destined to be cruel and bloody.
In the blink of an eye, sixteen ice sculptures disappeared, leaving only one one leaning on the mast.
"You know what? your words...... It really me off. The young man walked up to Namoto Amuro and patted him in the face through the ice.
He pressed his palm against the top of the ice sculpture, and under the blue halo, the ice shrank inward, squeezing Amuro's body slowly but forcefully from all sides.
Unable to withstand even the strength of his bones, Amuro's head became deformed and his limbs twisted.
For a while, the flesh and blood in the ice were blurred, and it was miserable.
Half a minute later, looking at the black and red ice beads in his palm, the young man looked indifferent.
He clenched his right hand fiercely, and then opened it gently, and the cold wind blew away the black and red ice chips: "People are responsible for their words and deeds. β
After crushing the ice beads, the blue halo converged into his body, and the young man left the deck with his hands behind his back.
On the tall stern floor, some passengers looked out the window curiously, and no one would have thought that the cruise ship would encounter a cold snap.
Hawaii is tropical, with a mild climate, with an average annual temperature of more than 25 degrees Celsius, how can there be a cold snap? And it is such a ferocious little cold snap, so small that it can only cover the stern building, but it is so fierce that it can freeze the deck.
Most of the passengers looking out the window are looking through the glass to the deck, where the white mist lingers and the vision is blurred, but in the blurred white fog, there is a dazzling blue light and shadow.
It is the light and shadow that attract the curiosity of passengers and become a hot topic on the aft floor.
An hour later, the ship's sound and light siren signaled a warning signal, and the deafening sirens resounded everywhere, and the news of the disappearance of the first mate and 16 passengers became known to all.
While some travelers associate the mysterious disappearance of the seventeen with the blue light on the aft deck, a terrifying Pacific Monster is a fictional figure-up.
As a result, a piece of news that is indistinguishable from falsity spreads: a man-eating water monster appeared in the Pacific Ocean, and seventeen people on the luxury cruise ship Nilovis were attacked!
