119. Magnetic field circle
The Japanese believe that all things have spirits, and they have always believed in gods and ghosts.
If you want to resolve the unjust soul, you can only do it with the spells and charms of the monk or the onmyoji, without which it is futile to do anything.
After the crew finished their work, they suddenly found that the most critical person was still missing from the sealing soul, and they panicked again, and the noise was endless, and someone invited Koji Ishida out of the captain's room again.
The crew panicked, but it was in the hands of Koji Ishida, such a guy is the easiest to control.
Koji Ishida made a fool of himself, claiming that he was a lay disciple of a certain temple and had learned the art of drawing talismans to ward off evil spirits, and if there was really no one in the crowd who could take on this matter, he could try it.
In any case, the sailors were always a little superstitious about the captain, and when they heard him say this, they immediately coaxed Koji Ishida to draw a talisman and recite a spell.
Ishida seemed to know some rituals beyond the past life, and ordered everyone to set up an offering table, light incense, and carve a spirit tablet for each of the five Chinese sailors.
"The words must be engraved deeply, and they must not be fooled, once their names are fainted, the mana will disappear, and when the time comes, it will be useless for any of you to be found by the unjust soul." Koji Ishida instructed repeatedly.
This kind of superstition, mixed with superstition of ghosts and gods, was very effective, and the sailors divided their work and did it one by one, eager to carve the wooden sign through.
Ishida Koji was not idle, he sent someone to dismantle a large wooden box, divided the wooden board into five pieces, and gave one piece to each of the five Chinese sailors, and he also picked up a brush and wrote a "Heart Sutra" on the wooden board.
"It is said that the mana written with cinnabar pen is strong enough, there is no such thing on the ship, so I will work hard for you to divide the labor and carve out these words carefully, all for your own life, don't be lazy and sloppy."
The sailors did not dare to disobey, after all, even the captain himself knelt on the ground to write the Heart Sutra, and it was important to save his life.
The sailors forgot to eat and kept busy.
Koji Ishida supervised them to carve a wooden plank, with the tree as a model, and instructed the people to carve the remaining four pieces in turn.
After some tossing, the mood of the crew stabilized significantly, and Koji Ishida returned to the captain's room satisfied.
As soon as he opened the door, he was stunned to catch a glimpse of a man in his fifties sitting behind his desk, looking at him with bad intentions.
"Yamamoto-kun, I am still so full of pity for the Chinese." The uninvited guest, sneered without smiling.
It's obvious that this guy knows the details of Koji Ishida, and he knows that he is Masao Yamamoto.
"Oh? It turned out to be Kubo-san, no wonder you didn't see your figure just now, it turned out that you were enjoying your leisure time here. ”
Masao Yamamoto was undaunted and responded with the same cynicism.
"Masao Yamamoto, don't forget, this operation is clearly the captain of the ship, secretly, you are a suspect who was escorted by me, and when you return to the military headquarters, what awaits you is military law, I advise you not to play any more clever words."
"I'm not a soldier, and things like military tribunals don't scare me."
"Don't be obsessed, because of your sympathy for those Chinese, I can shoot you right now."
"Kubo-san, I don't understand this."
"You, don't pretend to be confused, for the sake of us alumni, that's all for today's business, but what the hell is going on with this fog and the malfunctioning radar? You'll have to give me an account. ”
After listening to Kubo's questioning, Koji Ishida laughed instead of being angry, and there was a sneer as if no one was around.
"What are you laughing at?" The person who was angry was this guy surnamed Kubo, who bared his teeth and grinned very funny.
"Aren't you my alumnus? Radar, weather, how would I know. ”
"Hmm, I really don't know?" Kubo asked again unwillingly.
"What the hell are you suspicious?" It seems that Koji Ishida has always held the initiative and simply asked openly.
"Yamamoto-kun, don't you think all this is too strange at all?" Kubo's attitude softened, and he asked with an eyebrow.
"It's very strange, although my nautical knowledge is all learned now, but such a big fog is still too abnormal."
"Hehe," the person known as Kubo sneered contemptuously, "As an imperial genius, do you just think of this?" ”
"Oh? If Kubo seniors know the inside story, why not give me some advice? Koji Ishida still took it easy, enjoying the alumnus's jealousy of him.
When Koji Ishida said this, Kubo was a little uncontrollable, and said with a red face: "I don't know the inside story, but the most strange thing is not the fog, it is common for the sea to have fog at this time, and some special situations are always inevitable, and what really arouses suspicion is the radar, as well as those malfunctioning electronic devices." ”
"Radar?" Koji Ishida asked rhetorically in some surprise.
"Yes, Yamamoto-kun doesn't know," Kubo said: "Of course, this is indeed not Yamamoto-kun's specialty, radar and electronic equipment failure, nine times out of ten it is a magnetic field circle, and our Imperial Japanese Air Force and Navy have already traveled all over China's four seas and the Pacific Ocean, and now our ship has been walking for more than ten days, but still can't get out of this magnetic circle, this range is too large, if there really is such a vast magnetic field circle, ships and planes of various countries have already discovered it." ”
"But now, we are in such a strange circle that we can never get out of?"
"Yes, but if you can't get out, it doesn't mean that this circle is very big." Kubo smiled mysteriously.
"Hehe, Brother Kubo, I'm still in the mood to sell Guanzi now, please hurry up and explain, maybe you can find a solution to the problem."
"Well, for my brother, I thought that this strange incident was completely man-made." Kubo continued to sell a pass.
Wei Qingyun guessed that this person may often be suppressed by Yamamoto Guiichi's IQ on weekdays, and finally caught the opportunity to perform, so he likes to show off so inappropriately.
"Please give me advice." At the time of crisis, Koji Ishida naturally focused on the overall situation and gave Kubo enough face.
"Hahahaha, don't dare to be, don't dare to be, in fact, it's simple to explain it thoroughly, it's just that someone secretly did something to destroy the radar system."
Hearing him say this, Koji Ishida couldn't help but be discouraged.
"What? Don't Yamamoto-kun believe my inference? Kubo saw that Koji Ishida's face was different, and quickly asked.
"It's not that I don't trust Your Excellency, but this explanation can't be explained, radar and electronic equipment are inspected and repaired almost every day, besides, although you and I are not majoring in electromagnetic physics, but in order to fiddle with those various types of radios, there is always some common sense about electronic equipment and the like, and there is no sign of damage to those equipment itself."
"Oh, it's simple, maybe the enemy has invented some kind of powerful electromagnetic interference device, created a large enough electromagnetic field, and the device is secretly hidden on the ship, so the ship will never be able to get out of this magnetic field circle."
Seeing that Koji Ishida did not comment, Kubo fell into deep thought, and asked again in embarrassment: "Yamamoto-kun still doesn't believe it?" ”
"There is indeed some truth in this statement, but it is still too idealistic, the Rising Sun Pill is the pride of my great Japanese empire, it is a destroyer modification, and the anti-jamming ability is very strong, if it is really interfered with by any equipment, then the other party's technology is too strong, and it is not simple to be able to hide the equipment on this ship and start it."
"That's exactly what I'm trying to say, and then we have to search a few times to find the mouse."
