Chapter 9: The Ghost Ship
It's been almost half a month since the incident in the Little Devil's Lair, and Lei Chan, a naturally lazy guy, has never gone out except for staying in a rented apartment.
From Olivia's mouth, I learned that there are many things in this world that all humans cannot see and hear. Unlike the angels and demons who can freely choose to descend in this world, in the dimension that no one in this world can see, there will be some "prophets".
These "prophets" are able to see through the essence of all people and things, and even predict the future. They can talk about the cause of events, the nature of human beings, all sorts of strange topics, but they can't move the world forward. It can even be said that in this world, only a very small number of people are aware of the existence of these "prophets".
In a word, these "prophets" are omniscient, but they are merely spectators of the world.
But Olivia repeatedly warned Lei Chan that the "prophets" did not want their existence to be known, and that if they found out that Lei Chan could see their conversations, Lei Chan would be destroyed!
Lei Chan, who cares about his own life very much, decides to be good and obediently obeys the words of 'Olivia', and uses this as an excuse to be an otaku with peace of mind.
Of course, he was destined to not be too leisurely, although he still wanted to stay in the room and be in a quiet daze. But what he didn't know was that in this world, almost all exorcists had their own black physique.
To put it simply: people sit at home, and the pot comes from the sky!
...
Lei Chan's lazy otaku life lasted for half a month, and a phone call interrupted his peaceful life.
"Ray! I have a job and would like to invite you to be my partner! He took out his mobile phone, and a calm man's voice immediately came from the other end of the phone. Thinking with his toes, Lei Chan also knew that there was no one else except for Milo's guy.
"How did you know my number?" Lei Chan's voice was a little low, after all, when he first arrived in this place, he didn't leave the phone to anyone at all.
"Ahh I looked up your contact information for the fraternity, and they gave me this number. Now is not the time to say this, the day before yesterday I received a message asking for help, and a friend of mine lost contact after sending this message. I'd like to ask you to come with me! Milo's voice was stunned at first, but quickly got to the point.
Lei Chan frowned at this sudden request and said, "The mission you will come to me must be dangerous, right?" I'm just an E-class exorcist, so I'm refusal! I'm afraid to die! ”
"Uh..." Milo on the other end of the phone didn't expect Lei Chan to refuse so simply, so arrogant, and he didn't react for a while. After a few seconds of silence on the phone, he came back to his senses and said, "Lei, can you open the door, I'm outside your house, let's go in and talk in detail!" ”
Lei Chan: "..."
...
To be honest, the Brotherhood knows the whereabouts of the exorcists under its rule, but this makes Lei Chan's experience extremely poor. To be reasonable, no matter who you are, you don't want your whereabouts to be known.
Even so, Lei Chan still opened the door, and sure enough, he saw Milo's bearded man wearing a brand new light blue checkered and carrying a large package, standing outside the door with an anxious face.
After letting Milo in, Lei Chan closed the door.
After Milo put the large package on his shoulder on the only table in the room, he said to Lei Chan: "Thunder! I really need your help! ”
Lei Chan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm also very serious to tell you, I'm just an E-class exorcist, and I don't have the ability to help you at all!" ”
"Maybe you should hear what happened," Milo said to Lei Chan, who was standing by the window, and then pulled out a journal from the large package and handed it to Lei Chan.
Lei Chan looked at the notebook handed over by Milo and hesitated slightly, but in the end, curiosity overcame reason, and he reached out and took the notebook and looked through it.
...
Milo's friend is Ray-Ban, who is also an exorcist, but his range of activities is around Georgia.
One day, Ray-Ban received a request for help from an ordinary fisherman, saying that two fishing boats in the company had accidentally discovered the remains of an abandoned boat when they were out to sea to fish together.
At that time, two abandoned boats were also found in the nearby waters. The fisherman had a bad premonition, so instead of docking the boat, he chose to go back to the city. But the captain of another fishing boat chose to get close to the abandoned boat, after all, there was a lot of commission for towing a boat back.
Also leaning in were two other yachts, who seemed to have mistaken the abandoned ship for an expedition.
But it was a point of no return, and the fisherman had already radioed the situation to the company before he landed. When he returned to shore, he learned that another fishing boat had lost contact, along with two yachts!
The coastal search and rescue team quickly found the fisherman, and conducted a wide search of the nearby waters according to the latitude and longitude he provided, but never found any trace of the so-called abandoned boat. If it weren't for the testimony of the other three workers on the fisherman's boat, one might even wonder if they were lying.
The fisherman was puzzled, he was very sure that he was not mistaken, even if it was a hallucination, it was impossible for all four people present to have the same hallucination, and even the confessions were almost identical.
The matter also quickly fermented, eventually attracting the attention of the Brotherhood. Because the news has spread, the Brotherhood has also sent several C-class exorcists to find out the situation. And Ray-Ban was also a nearby land snake, and had initially gotten a lot of information from the fisherman, so he was specifically asked to join the investigation.
Ray-Ban was accustomed to recording his investigations, and in the final investigation, the goods seemed to anticipate that he would not be able to return, so he sent all the information of his investigation records to Milo, Pennsylvania.
However, Milo was in a small town near Los Angeles when he was confronted with the Devil's Lair, and when he returned to his lair and received Ray-Ban's letter, it was already a week later. When Milo contacted Ray-Ban again, the latter's phone had already been unreachable and he had lost contact.
Later, Milo also learned about what happened in Georgia through the Brotherhood's Exorcist Station, and the final result was that Ray-Ban, along with the three C-class exorcists who participated in the investigation at the time, followed the clues and went to sea.
Their last response was in the waters near Midway, after which they lost contact. The Brotherhood sent a number of people to search for the sea near the coordinates for the last time, and the result was the same as what happened before, they were also nowhere to be found, and it was very likely that they had been...
Lei Chan didn't close the notebook, but looked at the last line, where was written a phrase - ghost ship!
