Chapter 16: The Manifestation of Spiritual Memory
The news from Lepp was too outrageous for Father Morin and Milo to believe what he said, and that the ghost ship was a sign of the return of the fallen soldiers.
Lei Chan didn't think so, although in terms of the information that could be gathered so far. All available evidence proves that the ghost ship that suddenly appeared is most likely the Beaver from Beaver Town, and not a supernatural phenomenon brought about by a retired veteran, who only knows his name and does not even know the origin of the sect.
But there is a saying called intuition, although Lei Chan didn't say it, he vaguely felt that the words of the retired veteran were the truth of the facts. What he didn't know was that the "beastly intuition" that someone used to use as a casual excuse at the beginning has worked in the near future.
...
Back to the present
Everything on this ship seems to be that the people on the ship have just left, and even the rations discarded on the ground are as if they have just been unpacked, except that there are no people, this ship is more like an ordinary ship sailing on the sea, but isn't this one of the typical manifestations of ghost ships?
Just as the exorcist trio returned to the deck to discuss, intending to leave the unknown ship for the time being, a whining sound was heard in the distance.
The sound was ethereal, and it was rapidly approaching the ship where the exorcist trio was located. The sudden sound quickly alerted the three of them, and Milo took out the No. 5 salt-bullet shotgun, and Father Morin pulled out the holy water, only Lei Chan pulled out two daggers as thick as a baby's arm from behind him, which looked very hideous.
Such a move suddenly made the corners of the eyebrows of the two people around him jump, but even Lei Chan himself didn't understand why he took out such two weapons, as if it was his own habit.
Belch... Off topic, Lei Chan looked at his two daggers and was a little stunned, but the whining sound would not stop because of this. The sound was like a hypnotic spell, which made Lei Chan shake his mind for a while, and unconsciously slowly let down the guard in his hand...
...
"Ray! Be careful! ”
I don't know how long it took for Lei Chan to be suddenly awakened from a trance by a voice, and he looked blankly in the direction where the sound came from, it turned out to be Milo calling him. Strangely, why is Milo getting closer and closer to him?
As Milo's bearded face quickly approached, Lei Chan was immediately knocked down by Milo! Then a violent splash suddenly exploded outside the side of the ship, and the salty sea water poured Lei Chan on his body.
It was only then that he realized that the black fog that had been permeating him had disappeared, and the quiet environment around him had turned into a noisy roar. Wiping the seawater off his face, Lei Chan stood on the side of the ship, but was stunned by the scene in front of him.
I saw that the originally empty sea had two more huge fleets at this time!
Needless to say, judging by the flags flying on the ships on both sides, the two warring parties were none other than the M and R armies. Although Lei Chan is a novice of common sense, he also noticed that something was wrong at this time, because the old-fashioned weapons and styles from the warship did not look like anything from his own era at all.
At this point, I believe you have also discovered the problem.
There were several more roars, and several cannons hit the side of the ship where Lei Chan was, and there were several splashes again, so that Milo and Lei Chan, who were on the side of the ship, had to crouch down to dodge.
"What's going on?" Lei Chan couldn't help but ask.
But the answer that Milo could give him was only to shake his head, and even he himself was confused. When he came to his senses, he was already on this battlefield. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Lei Chan standing by the boat alone in a daze, and couldn't help but rush up and press him down.
"What about Father Morin?" The battlefield was still fighting, and the rumbling of cannons ruled the sea, and Rai Chan had to shout loudly to ask where the other person from the exorcist trio was whereabouts.
In the same way, Milo could only report with an expression of ignorance.
At this moment, a figure ran past the two of them, immediately attracting their attention.
The figure, a soldier in a white navy uniform, seemed to see the two people sitting on the side of the ship, rushed to the front of the ship, dragged the tarpaulin off the front cannon, jumped up and aimed at the plane flying in the sky!
Lei Chan was slightly stunned, and after glancing at Milo beside him, he got up and walked to the cannon where the soldier was. The soldier did not seem to be able to see Lei Chan and Milo, Lei Chan reached out and put his hand on the soldier's shoulder, but accidentally penetrated the soldier's body.
Suddenly, a flash of realization flashed in Lei Chan and Milo's eyes—'Spirit Memory Phenomenon'!
The so-called 'spirit memory phenomenon' is, to put it bluntly, something that will automatically record something over the years or in the event of an emergency. The simplest example of this is the image of lightning striking near a magnetic mine, but it is extremely rare.
However, in Lei Chan's exorcist memory, this kind of 'spirit memory phenomenon' happens from time to time. Similar to the famous spirit dolls in Area 11, the former is more like an object spirit like the "Inari God", while the latter is a simple memory.
The former is left aside, that's an afterthought, while the latter has no thoughts, just repeating what happens around the memory over and over again. It's just that this is usually the case, and it's the memory of an object that has to be left over a long period of time, such as a house, which is more likely to have 'spirit memory phenomena'.
But as far as the current situation is concerned, Lei Chan and Milo both believe that they and the others are now experiencing the memories of this warship. What they don't understand is that the battlefield is often only a brief moment, and what exactly happens can cause a warship that is not very large and should exist like a frigate to have a 'spirit memory manifestation'
Lei Chan felt that the soldier phantom in front of him could not give him any information, and turned around to leave, when another shell hit the sea next to the ship, splashing Lei Chan and Milo again.
He cursed secretly, turned around and ran in the direction of the cabin, and Milo on the side also followed, but the moment they approached the cabin, the two were stunned at the same time, because from the deck, there were two figures standing in the control room of the warship.
A non-commissioned officer in the uniform of a Navy captain was standing in the control room, holding something in his hand and seemingly communicating with it. And standing next to the captain... It's Father Maureen!
Father Morin also spotted the two men standing on the deck, and immediately beckoned to the two of them, beckoning them to go up, and another cannonball smashed into the sea next to the warship, splashing the deck all over the ground, but the two men who were in place had already taken refuge in the cabin.
It's just that the two of them didn't react, if it was a 'spirit memory phenomenon', then these splashes shouldn't have been able to wet the two people who weren't in the memory image!
