Chapter 174: Dwarven Ghost

As the little black worms in the cabin flew out more and more. The number of flying jellyfish that glow green is also increasing. One after another, the giant tentacles of unknown creatures burst through the water. Dancing wildly in the air. Greedily catch green light jellyfish.

I was blown away by the scene. After a brief period of distraction. Hold the torch and walk cautiously towards the stern.

Suddenly. A dazzling flash of light appeared above my head. Immediately after that, I heard a deafening thunderclap.

I'm underground. How can you see lightning and hear thunder?

Could it be said. I'm out of the mountain now.

I'm guessing. But he was shaken by the sudden appearance of lightning. Then the thunder echoed through the endless darkness again.

After the lightning. The jellyfish fled in fright. The huge tentacles also honestly shrank into the water.

By the light of the torch alone. I could barely make out the environment at a short distance in front of me. Farther it is blurred.

But judging by the echoes of thunder. I can be sure that my current location is still within the mountain.

Not in this underworld. There are a lot of positive and negative charge hierarchical collisions. I was amazed by this wonderful phenomenon.

But. The truly incredible is yet to come. I actually saw it. Suddenly, a large number of people appeared on the deck of the ship. Silently busy. It's like the ghosts and ghosts of legend.

It's different. They were all very short. The beard and hair are very long. It's like a humanoid lion.

With the sudden appearance of these dwarves. Oil lamps appeared in various places on the ship. Illuminate the area as if it were daytime.

The dwarves were busy to their heart's content. But no one spoke. The swinging hammer smashed into the plank. There is a muffled "bang-bang" sound. It's much drown than the normal tapping sound. It's like coming from another world.

What makes me wonder even more. I'm holding a torch here. So conspicuous. No one even noticed me.

It's hard to do it. These ghosts are blind.

That's what I'm thinking. But he noticed that three dwarves suddenly raised their heads. Look at me.

I was shocked. It's too late to find a place to hide. So I drew my bayonet and held it tightly in my palm. Ready to fight with them.

Sure enough. The three dwarves stopped what they were doing. Carrying a stone hammer, he walked towards me.

They are not fast. But every step was taken with great poise. They looked at me with no kindness in their eyes. But strangely, it seems that there is no malice. The flat mood made me feel weird.

I licked my chapped lips. My heart was very bottomless all of a sudden.

If these dwarves are really ghosts and ghosts or something. Then I will only rely on this bayonet. There is no threat to them.

If. I now have a handful of glutinous rice or cinnabar. It's definitely going to be a little bit bolder.

The key questions are: Are they really ghosts? Are there really ghosts in this world?

I saw the three dwarves getting closer and closer to me. I could even clearly see their heads full of messy hairs tangled. Even the faint sound of their footsteps and breathing could be heard.

My heart was pounding. My palms were covered with sweat. I can't hope that these three dwarves are zongzi instead of ghosts.

For the unknown. It is human beings who cannot avoid fear.

Ten meters. Nine meters. Eight meters ......

Seeing the distance between us getting closer and closer. My breathing was getting shorter and shorter. My heart almost went to my throat.

But. Just when the three dwarves were only five meters away from me. Except for the torches in my hands. The rest of the fire was extinguished. The three dwarves began to walk in place. The body began to fade gradually. Eventually, it disappeared before my eyes.

I froze where I was. I can't figure out what's going on.

I soon found out. It's not just the three dwarves. The rest of the dwarves were gone. disappeared with it. And those noisy noises.

It's like a nightmare. After waking up from a dream. Some just have heart palpitations. And that endless darkness and silence.

It's all there. What the hell is going on.

I stood on the deck in a daze. Look around. But all I saw was an empty deck.

I still don't understand what the hell is going on. Another bolt of lightning burst out from above his head. The thunder rang out loudly.

Followed by. Countless lights were lit up on the deck again. The dwarves who had just disappeared reappeared on the deck. It's like replaying what I just saw.

Not much. The three dwarves got up again. With the same action and state. Walked over to me.

Because of the experience I just had. I'm a lot calmer this time. After going back some distance. I frowned and stared at the three dwarves who were walking towards me.

This time. in the same location. The three dwarves disappeared in the same way. The same is true of the lamps and the rest of the dwarves.

My brain was racing. Think of the lightning before the two "haunted" phenomena. Suddenly I figured out what was going on. It also finally became clear to me that the phenomenon I was experiencing was not really haunted.

It is said that a similar "supernatural" phenomenon has occurred in the Forbidden City. Someone saw eunuchs and palace maids running around in the Forbidden City on a rainy night. This incident even caused quite a stir at the time. It also attracted a large number of experts and scholars to the Forbidden City for in-depth research.

After the results of many test reports come out. The haunting of the Forbidden City has finally unveiled the mystery.

It turned out. The red palace wall of the Forbidden City. Contains a certain amount of ferric tetroxide.

Occasionally. Lightning conducts electrical energy. The palace wall has the effect of recording images. All the scenes in the Forbidden City at that time were recorded.

When similar lightning appeared again in the sky over the Forbidden City. Once again, the electricity was transmitted to the red palace wall. The scene that had been recorded was "played".

This statement is not convincing enough. But it's better than the absurd explanation of "haunted".

Although I think the strange phenomenon I just encountered is similar to the rumors of "haunting" in the Forbidden City. But I didn't see any red-painted parts of the boat.

Anyway. As long as there is an explanation for that strange phenomenon. I was able to imply to myself that everything was normal here. will greatly reduce the fear in the heart. That's what I am in right now. Very important.

I've been waiting for a while now. No more lightning strikes. The dwarves were not seen again. This strengthened my judgment.

Thereupon. I continued to look in the direction of the stern. Hopefully you'll be lucky enough to find a boat that you can use.

But. I just took a few steps. I heard a "rumbling" sound from under the boat. The hull of the ship began to shake violently.

Not much. The chains wrapped around the hull made a chaotic and noisy noise.

Followed by. The ship moved.
