Volume 2: The Misty Sea [003] is inevitable
Different people will react differently when they hear the sound of the perched newt.
Because everyone hears different voices, Mark hears his mother's voice, Anna hears Hawkins' voice, and Hawkins hears the voice of the King of Bliss......
If you are caught off guard and suddenly hear these sounds, most people will look back.
But everyone is looking at the perched newt now, so the trick of the perching newt has no effect, and everyone is still staring at it.
"Safety first, let's get this thing done first!" Victor suggested.
Mark agreed, "Plus one, this thing is imitating my mother's voice, it has to be killed." ”
"Whose voice do you all hear?" asked Mourning Eye curiously.
Victor said calmly: "I heard Avril talking to me, but I knew very well that Avril was at home. ”
"I heard my mother's voice. Marneen replied.
Marnie was upset, "I heard Marneen calling me. ”
"It seems that they are the closest or most important people to everyone. Victor guessed.
Anna was suddenly a little embarrassed, after all, she heard Hawkins's voice, she looked up at Hawkins, only to find that Hawkins' face was a little strange.
“......”
Hawkins is wondering about life, why did he hear the voice of the King of Elysium?
At this moment, the roosting newt suddenly opened its mouth, and a tongue ejected in an instant.
Its tongue is very long, and it has a strong ability to conceal, Mark and others did not find the tongue, but after the tongue entered Hawkins's electromagnetic force field, it did not need to be seen with the naked eye at all, Hawkins could clearly feel the existence of the tongue.
As soon as his mind moved, the iron bead that had penetrated the perched newt flew up from the ground in an instant, penetrating directly from the eye of the perched newt into the body of the perching newt, and in the blink of an eye, the brain of the perching newt was crushed.
The tongue fell limply down to the deck before it could get close to the crowd.
"Captain, whose voice do you hear?" asked Wai Miya curiously.
Everyone didn't care about the life or death of the perched newt, after all, Hawkins was present, and after the perched newt was exposed, the outcome was already doomed.
Hawkins didn't answer, and changed the topic: "Since the perching newt has been solved, will you continue to explore the shipwreck, or go back to Eternal Space first?"
"Keep exploring, of course, the gold is mine," Marnie said loudly.
Victor, Jenny, Anna, and Mourning Night were not in high spirits, so they chose to return to Eternal Space, after all, the fog of the Sea of Mists was too uncomfortable.
Next, Hawkins boarded the galleon again with the rest of the group and went directly into the cabin.
Ma Ning glanced at Hawkins curiously.
The others were distracted by Hawkins, but she wasn't, and she was actually more curious about Hawkins than about the galleon.
Whose voice did Hawkins hear, Hawkins was reluctant to say it, proving that that person was very important to Hawkins, could it be his father Huo Heidao?
However, Hawkins is definitely not the real Hawkins, so Huo Heidao can't be the person who really matters to Hawkins.
Who the hell is that person?
The curiosity in Ma Ning's heart was like a cat's paw, making her want to ask again.
But she knew very well that Hawkins would never answer that question.
"Hawkins, sooner or later, I'll know who you are. ”
Marin looked at Hawkins' silhouette and thought to herself.
At this time, Hawkins noticed a gold-covered notebook on the bedside table, so he picked it up and gently opened it.
......
"Our ancestors were proud of adventure. ”
"There is risk in being alive, and if there is no risk in something, it means that there are no surprises in it. ”
"The Arkham family, always the craziest of families, can only dance on the edge of danger to spark the last of the passion contained in the cooled blood. ”
"I ...... Akam Robinson, who will take his life as a bet, will cross the sea of fog and arrive in an unknown new world. ”
"It was an adventure at the expense of the family, and I believe no ancestor was more adventurous than I was. ”
......
"I regret it, I shouldn't have gambled on the fate of my family. ”
"The Misty Seas are the dwelling place of the devils, they are everywhere and know everything. ”
"I heard Him whispering in my ear, but I didn't know what He was saying, and the more I tried to be clear, the more muffled His voice became. ”
"Rum was sick and screaming in nausea as he lay in bed, and I thought it would be time to end his life, so that he would suffer less. ”
......
"Devil!"
"I saw it, it's the devil!"
"It dragged the charred carcass around the ship, and I knew it was in the hallway, but I didn't dare risk it. ”
"Am I still the best heir to House Arkham?, I think I should take a risk, even if I die!"
......
It's a very thick diary, and Hawkins reads it quickly.
Thankfully, the words used by the other party are the same as Nanami's, and although there are many words with different meanings, it is not difficult for Hawkins to understand.
"Marning, have you heard of the Arkham family?" asked Hawkins.
Ma Ning was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No." ”
"Well, then you can take a look first. Hawkins nodded, then handed the golden diary to Marne.
Ma Ning took the diary, dodged Marnie's pounce, opened the diary and began to read, her reading speed was naturally not comparable to that of Hawkins, so she read very slowly.
"Charred remnants...... Could it be the Scorched Hell Ghost?" Marin guessed as she saw the monster described in her diary.
Hawkins raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "The Scorched Hell Ghost is also a delusional creature?"
"yes, it's a strange creature, and there's no way to kill it. Ma Ning nodded.
Then she told Hawkins the truth about the scorched ghost, and she knew very well that her greatest value was to know a lot about the delusional world.
The Scorched Hellghost is a creature that looks like a charred corpse, but it is not actually charred, it just looks like this.
This monster feeds on heat and absorbs the heat of objects, so creatures killed by Scorched Hellghosts often give people the feeling of being frozen to death.
There are a large number of scorched hellghosts in many places in the delusional realm, and once something with heat enters those areas, it will be surrounded by dense scorched hellghosts in an instant, and they will be sucked to death in the blink of an eye.
However, it is easy to identify the place where there is a scorched hellghost, as long as you find a large number of frozen items, there must be a scorched hellghost around, and you can avoid it after confirming the direction.
In fact, the reason why Ma Ning guessed that she was a scorched hell ghost was mainly due to two points.
The first point is the information provided in the diary, while the second point is the situation in the cabin.
After all, the body is like a charred remnant, and it is not only the physical characteristics unique to the scorched hell ghost, but there are also several fire-attribute delirium creatures that are also similar to this form.
However, there were no signs of charring in the cabin, which proved that the charred remains did not burn anything.
Only the Scorched Hellghost can do this.
Ma Ning's mind is delicate, and all of this is a speculation she made in an instant after reading the diary.
"It's a delusional creature again, could it be that there are a lot of delusional creatures in the Sea of Mist?" said Mark with a frown.
It was strange enough that the perching newt appeared on the Black Knife inexplicably in front of it, and now there was a scorched hell ghost in this galleon, and it didn't feel normal no matter how you looked at it.
"Could the Sea of Mist actually connect with the Delusion Realm?" Qiao Si guessed.
Ma Ning denied: "It's unlikely, if we connect with the Delusion Realm, then we shouldn't be unable to extend the mana, but it should be easier to extend." ”
The mist of the Sea of Mist suppressed the mana greatly, and even if Hawkins' mana was compressed and extended, it still couldn't break through ten meters, which was enough to show that this area could not communicate with the Delirium Realm.
After all, everything in the realm may be lacking, but there is absolutely no lack of mana.
While everyone was expressing their opinions, Hawkins suddenly looked behind Ma Ning, only to see a black shadow appear in the mist, and gradually the black shadow turned into a substance.
A long-haired woman dressed in white suddenly appeared.
Its skin was paler than that of a corpse, covered in corpse spots, and one arm was rotten and only a few tendons remained, which was very disgusting.
But before it could attack Marin, in an instant Marin turned around, and countless thin threads wound it.
"Ancient Walking Dead?"
Ma Ning looked at the female corpse that was constantly struggling, frowned and said.
Where she was, with the bookshelf behind her, Hawkins on the right, and Qiao Si on the left, she could be sure that there could be nothing close behind her.
But this ancient walking corpse appeared behind her, which gave her a bad premonition.
"This monster came out of the mist. Hawkins affirmed.
He was observing the whole time, and he was about to make a move, but he didn't expect Ma Ning's reaction speed to be so fast, and he actually subdued the ancient walking corpse in an instant.
"It seems that our trip will be more interesting than expected. Ma Ning pursed her lips and suddenly smiled.
There will be monsters in the mist, which means that the mist is likely to be related to the delirious realm, although she still insists on her own judgment, and does not think that the misty sea is connected with the delirious realm, but the two are definitely related.
It's just that the connection is more mysterious.
Hawkins nodded, "It seems that this is true, let's go...... Let's go see if there are any clues in the other rooms, and everyone beware of the attacks of the creatures of the delusional realm. ”
"It shouldn't be that coincidental, right?" Qiao Si frowned when he heard this.
The attack of the Delirium creatures is indeed a bit terrifying, but for a long time before, the Black Knife has not encountered the Delirium creatures, which may also be an exception.
Hawkins shook his head and said, "No, my judgment is the opposite of yours, Ma Ning, show the diary to Qiao Si." ”
"Give!" Ma Ning handed the diary to Qiao Si.
Qiao Si opened it to read, anyway, now they are moving with Hawkins with levitation all the time, so she doesn't need to look at the road.
She didn't look at the diary carefully, but very roughly, almost all the time, and after reading it, she frowned and thought about it, and finally agreed: "The captain is right, this should not be an exception. ”
In the diary, there were no monsters encountered at first, but as time went on, some strange things gradually appeared, and then more and more monsters began to appear.
This is definitely not a coincidence, but some kind of inevitability.
