Chapter 35: The Devil Comes Out of the Cage(Part II)
The bilge was blistered in water for nearly two-thirds, and the cabin was full of equipment and supplies that we could not take with us, and if people did not lie on top of the cargo box, they could only expose the part above their shoulders in the water, which was extremely difficult to move. At this time, a black hand fell out of the hole in the clamp cabin, which was so dry that almost bones remained, and as soon as it moved, a stream of black water bubbled out, and it landed on the diving bag that Shirley had not had time to unload. There seemed to be a few people muttering to each other in the bilge compartment, and it was chilling to hear those voices in the dark cabin.
I shone my diving flashlight on the underwater light, which itself is not suitable for waterless conditions, but it still has a bright light, and in the dim beam, I exclaimed, "Be careful! But it was too late, and he and the fat man hurriedly waded into the water with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
At this time, Shirley Yang's shoulder seemed to be hooked by a strange hand, she was in a hurry to get out of the way, but the deck was seriously damaged by the shark, and her foot was propped up on the ground, but it hit a cargo box stuck in the bottom bilge, and the pain made her gasp, and her body naturally shrank back, just stuck in the hole in the mezzanine. Seeing that she was about to fall into the trap, she was quick to react, and nailed the diving knife to the bulkhead with her backhand, which immediately blocked the momentum of her body backwards, and she tried to get up again, but another human hand full of black rot reached out from the trap, and grabbed her other arm. Suddenly, she couldn't help but be taken aback, and the various equipment on her body hung more tightly in the broken bulkhead, so that she was walking on thin ice in front of the bulkhead, and no longer dared to make a big move, but her body was still sinking into the mezzanine behind the bulkhead little by little.
I saw that Gu Chai next to Shirley Yang woke up at some point, and was covering his head and not knowing what was happening, and hurriedly shouted at him, asking him to help Shirley Yang out of the siege, and crawling in the water while shouting and crawling towards them. When Gu Chai heard my shout, he looked back at his side and realized a little that he thought that there was a zombie in the bulkhead to drag Shirley Yang away, he was far less agile on land than under water, and his hands were bare-fisted, and there was no guy in a hurry, so he opened his mouth to bite Shirley Yang's strange hand.
Gu Chai bit and pulled Shirley, Yang took advantage of the situation to get up and cut the diving rope and carrying bag on his body with a diving knife. But Gu Chai used too much force, one leg fell into the clamp cabin, as if there was a force pulling him inside, and he was entangled in the bulkhead for a while, and he couldn't get out. At this time, the fat man and I rushed to the front, and the fat man hugged Gu Chai and dragged him out, and shouted to me: "How can there be zongzi in the mezzanine of this cabin?" Is it that in the past, Ruan Hei couldn't survive as an eggman, he made money and killed people on the boat, did the business of bandao noodles and wontons, and hid the dead in the boat, but now the good people cheated the corpse and wanted to climb out to pay off the blood debt, but let us catch up. ”
I thought to myself, disposing of a dead body at sea, throwing it directly into the sea to feed the fish, that is, I can't hide the corpse in the mezzanine of the bilge at all, I am afraid that there is something else in this sea willow boat, and it may not be a zombie, and I dare to assert that he will never dare to hide the dead in the boat, no matter what it is, drag it out to see if it is.
The fat man and I speculated wildly, and our subordinates were not idle at all, and they stepped forward with Shirley Yang to help Gu Chai get out. After tearing him open, there was no movement in the hole in the cabin, and the undercurrent boiling out of the deep water under the ship disappeared, and the bilge level dropped considerably. I asked Shirley Young to gather the flashlight and all the equipment that could light and aim at the clamp cabin, and then used the dragon arc short knife in his hand to cut the cabin with a burst of cutting, and the entire clamp compartment was pried open in an instant. This section of the bilge is very narrow, and there is only less than half a meter wide space inside, and as soon as the baffle falls, you can see a black mass of things in the interlayer, the surface is rough, and it is full of etched holes of different sizes, which are originally a large sea stone flowers born on the fossils of ancient sea willows.
There was a white flower on the human skeleton of the sea stone flower, and there was not a single cloth on the body, and it was already rotten. The white skeleton was wrapped in sea stone flowers, motionless, dripping black water down its bones, joints, and eyesockets and nostrils on its skull. These thick black liquids are like the fluid in the coffins of ancient tombs, but they are odorless and tasteless, and they seem to flow out of the sea stone flowers, accumulate to the bilge, and then slowly seep into the sea willows.
There are dozens of creatures that look like fish and shrimp crawling in and out of the black sea stone flowers, the upper part is like a fish with scales and fins, the head is very smooth, and the lower part is like a shrimp with carapace and chela, they seem to have made a home in the sea stone flower, and from time to time they go to lick the black water on the bones of the dead, sizzling and sucking, looking very greedy. As soon as the beam of the flashlight shined, they fell to the ground one after another, hitting their heads against the cabin board, making a "knock knock" kowtow sound, and it was like a wooden fish knocked by the monks in the temple, and the mouth gurgled like chanting a mantra, and I don't know what they were muttering.
Shirley, Yang and the others and I looked at each other, no one knew what was in the cabin, and under the beams of various flashlights, a shadow suddenly moved in the sea stone flowers. The four of us all subconsciously took a step back, only to see a humanoid shadow in the sea stone flowers, as if trembling slightly in the reflection of the water waves, as if about to come out.
I thought to myself: "The Trident was acquired by the British, and since the refit, Ruan Hei has been helping on the ship, and Gu Chai has been following the ship's boss Ruan Hei for so many years, maybe he knows what this thing like a sea stone flower is." But after glancing at Gu Chai, he was obviously at a loss, and there was still a little panicked look on his face, thinking that there would be a ghost crawling out of the sea stone flower, pointing to the cabin and saying to me, "Ghost...... Hell ......"
I raised my hand and pressed his mouth, don't talk nonsense, don't you know that there is something that you don't talk about? The more you talk, the more you say, even if there are no ghosts, sooner or later you will become ghosts. There are only more doorways for the sea to sail than for tomb robbers, not less than for tomb robbers, and perhaps the sea stone flowers hidden in the compartment and these strange fish that kowtow are some kind of secret shrines on the ship. It is true that the ship boss will often put some mess on the ship, and there are only things that they think are auspicious, but why can't they talk about it at sea and see it with their eyes? Did the death of the British explorers who converted the Seawillows really have something to do with the contents of the compartment?
Rley Yang said: "We don't know these things, but just now this skeleton seems to have grabbed Gu Chai's legs, but now it doesn't move, I don't know what is strange in the sea stone flower, I think everything needs to be careful, but now that the ship has been abandoned, it is better to ignore this hidden cabin and leave as soon as possible." ”
I said to Shirley Yang: "We want to go together again, and I also think that this sea stone flower is not quite right, let's just go up there and get some explosives to blow it up completely, and after it is completely blown up, it will be out of sight, so that I will have to worry about it all the time, and I can't put it anywhere." "Anyway, I dragged Gu Chai and wanted to lead everyone to the deck to meet Uncle Ming and Duo Ling, who stayed on it, and then took the explosives and blew up this strange sea stone flower.
Before we turned around and left, the strange fish in the cabin suddenly stopped, the fish opened and closed and spit out a black bead, although it was only the size of a fingernail, but it was dark and shiny, and it was shining with a flashlight, and suddenly there was a rare strange halo, and I exclaimed in my heart: "Black!" ”
The crystal bright moonlight pearl in the South China Sea is of extraordinary value, all of which are snails by the yin essence and moonlight, and the pearl sac continues to secrete nacre from the pearl sac, and then it is condensed by the essence of the qualitative and qualitative pregnancy out of the sea. Among them, those who are born in response to the moon have silver, white, light yellow, and pink differences, especially those who can illuminate a hundred steps after the moon lamp is extinguished, but what is better than this moonlight pearl is the rarest black pearl in the sea. No one thought that the strange fish that nested with sea stone flowers and human bones would spit black pearls in their mouths, and they couldn't help but stop.
But don't say it's me and the fat man, a group of people who rarely go to sea, even if they are egg people, there are few dragon households who are really lucky enough to see black pearls, and I have only heard Uncle Ming talk about black pearls, and in the mouth of egg people, he called "Wu Xuan 1", which is an unfindable treasure under the sea. But I think it's very strange, there are many creatures in the world, there are Neidan and stones, such as bezoar, dog treasure, donkey stone, I and the fat man have seen with our own eyes, there are red sarcoma-like Neidan in the corpse of the old weasel, all of them are intentionally or unintentionally born by swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon, but these things are not as good as the moonlight pearl of the old snail and old clam in the sea.
The fish in the sea and the big lake have lived for a long time, and they can also play with the moon beads, but the black dragon is not a fish dragon, and it can be turned out of thin air, only a very special old clam will give birth to this thing, but if you want to say that these fish beads in front of you are not black and what will they be?
The fat man stared at the black pearl on the deck, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and said happily: "Commander Hu, I remember that when we were poor, we were like a white-haired girl in the mountains looking forward to liberation every day, and we didn't look forward to anything else, hoping to touch the dog's head and get a windfall." This time I really don't know what to burn right, Gao Xiang just got the line of the Nanyang Buddha, these little black babies rushed to the door by themselves, not rich and noble, we are polite, what are we polite ......" As he spoke, he reached out to pick up Wu Xuan, and picked one up, just like he said, "The yacht that the fat master drove in the Pacific Ocean...... This is a villa in California...... What's this...... It's a fat little girl in the United States......"
Seeing the fat man's appearance of falling into the eyes of money, my heart moved, as if something suddenly came to mind. I was thinking of the greedy nature of the dead Ruan Heidan—perhaps greed is not appropriate, but rather a habit or a conventional rule. In their traditional traditions, whenever they encounter a dragon's den, they must be picked to the end, and the concept of "dead picking" has never been left behind, belonging to the outlaws who don't want to die when they see eggs. Unless......
Mindfulness and this was just about to turn this corner in my mind, but Shirley Yang thought of her one step ahead of me, and she hurriedly said: "Fat man, don't take these things, I'm afraid it's not the black Xuan at the bottom of the sea!" But the fat man didn't care, and still picked up the few remaining black pearls.
At this time, Gu Chai pointed to the mezzanine of the secret cabin that was pried open: "Brother Hu has a ghost, do you believe that I really have a ghost......" His Chinese voice is not as clear and accurate as Ruan Hei, and he doesn't know too many sentences, and he often can't express what he wants to say, so he is so anxious that he just stomps his feet and turns over and over again, saying that there is a ghost.
I just watched the fat man prevent him from having any accidents when he was busy picking up green heads, and casually dealt with Gu Chai: "I believe that you will talk nonsense, what the hell is it?" There are only eggs in the sea, there are no ghosts, I really can't remember the last time I saw a ghost, but the egg fried rice has really not been eaten for many years...... "Although I didn't talk and didn't go out of my head, under the effect of the reflex nerve, I still glanced at Shirley Yang along his hand." The blurred black figure in the sea stone flowers has become clear at some point, and the outlines of the facial features have been revealed, but like the reflection in the water, it is impossible to distinguish whether it is a man or a woman. The ghost seemed to be a deep black sea water, floating between the solid sea stone flowers and sea willows, and suddenly flowed into the pile of dead man's bones, and the deep eye sockets of the skull immediately flowed black water, like two lines of dark tears welling up from the skull, and the soul wept. It seemed to me that the whole of the Sea Willow had been shrouded in the shadow of death, and it seemed that the situation was not good, and from the moment the bilge was broken, we were doomed to have no escape, and we were about to repeat the mistake of the total destruction of the British.
