"Xiao Wu! Xiao Yan! What's the situation, are you two okay? The buffalo chief's voice came from not far away. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The two hurriedly followed the sound and finally entered the cabin.

There was no light in the cabin where the four of them lived, a dim candle was lit, and when the hatch was opened, a fog came in that almost engulfed the faint light of the candle.

"This black fog...... What's going on? As soon as he entered the cabin, Wu Cuo asked.

The buffalo chief said, "The ghost covers his eyes, and no one can explain how this thing appeared...... I met it once when I was a child, just once, but I didn't expect to meet it again today, it's really evil. ”

"How long will it take for this fog to lift?" Yan Ruyu was also a little anxious.

If, as the captain of the ship had said, they would approach Laitou Island in the early hours of the morning, that is, they would not be able to detect it in such a thick black fog, even if Laitou Island was close at hand.

Director Buffalo frowned and closed his eyes and recalled: "When I was a child, my father hid me in the cabin, just like now, it felt like it took a long time for the black fog to dissipate, but in fact, ...... It shouldn't be long now, but for a child, even if the time spent alone is only 5 minutes, it is unbearable.

Later, I also asked people about the ghost covering his eyes.

One theory is that the dragon king is in for a treat. The dragon king is an immortal, and of course his friends are also immortals, so he can't casually show his true colors when he comes and goes. In order to prevent the sea people from seeing these immortals, the shrimp soldiers and crabs will release a black mist to block the view. Therefore, when encountering ghosts covering their eyes, fishermen cannot go down to the net to fish, but have to bow down at the bow of the boat to send off the gods.

If any fishing boat casts its net to catch fish, captures the shrimp soldiers and crab generals around the dragon king, or collides with the gods, it will be retributed.

Another theory is that there have been many deaths in the sea, such as a large shipwreck, or a fishing boat being attacked by robbers at sea. When the unjust soul wants to be reincarnated, it turns its resentment into a black mist and drags the passing ships, and it is said that there have been cases where ships have disappeared in the black mist. ”

Missing ships? Bermuda?

This was the only thing Yan Ruyu could think of.

His criminal investigation work has convinced him that there will be a reasonable explanation behind all irrational phenomena, and at the same time, he understands that many phenomena in the world cannot be explained by the existing knowledge of human beings.

Some divide human knowledge into four levels.

The lowest is science. What is Science? It's what humans already grasp and can explain.

Above science is philosophy, and philosophy is not an explanation of something, but a method, a proposition, which covers and encompasses a wider range than science.

Above philosophy is theology, that is, things that human beings cannot explain, all of which are the work of gods and ghosts, and are the will of God.

On top of theology, there is also metaphysics, which is mysterious and mysterious, and those who can penetrate one or two mysteries are already masters.

Yan Ruyu didn't know what level the ghost covered his eyes belonged to, anyway, there were too many strange things when he went out this time, and he already had a feeling that he was not afraid of itching when he had more lice.

"Let's think about it, what should we do if we miss Laitou Island and can't wait for rescue."

"There is something to eat in the sea, this is not to worry, but if there is not enough fresh water on the ship, it will be troublesome, and besides, the boat has no power, and if it encounters another storm, it will definitely be finished, these are not the most troublesome ......" The buffalo director glanced around, and met the eyes of the three men in turn.

"The most terrible thing is the human heart."

These words made the minds of the three people present solemn.

Wu Cuo was the first to break the deadlock, he climbed into bed, lay down, and said to everyone: "Sleep, we have to save our strength, in addition, the heart of defense is indispensable, take turns to keep vigil, every 2 hours, I am on the first shift." ”

Yan Ruyu also turned over and got on the bed, "I'm on the second shift, you call me in 2 hours." ”

"Then I'll be on the third shift." Xiao Tiandao, "Director, you are tired enough in the storm, sleep more, your I will be worth it for you." ”

Yan Ruyu couldn't sleep, he let today's strange things spin through his mind.

From the boat boss, to Brother Kun, to the Buffalo Director and Xiao Tian, who obviously had something to hide.

From storms falling into the water, to sailors in the water who want to make bad moves, to people sneaking up in the black fog.

What is the connection between all this?

That's right! That knife!

The knife was in Yan Ruyu's sleeve, and he had taken it out at this moment.

The blade has a sharp blade on one side and a tooth-like hook on the other.

Sharktooth knife!

It is said that if you are stabbed in the abdomen with such a knife, your intestines will be pricked and brought out.

It just so happens that Brother Kun also has a shark tooth knife.

Could it be him who attacked in the fog?

No, he's going to be younger, and assassination and assassination is a job that requires patience, and it won't be him.

Is it his sailors?

Yan Ruyu remembered the sailor who had cut the rope connecting him to the fishing boat in the rough seas and tried to stab himself.

He was beaten by Wu Cuo, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, do you want to take revenge? Or was he instructed by Brother Kun?

Could it be him?

……

Alas! If only there was a cigarette......

The slowly swaying bed made Yan Ruyu's thoughts also confused, and he finally fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, Yan Ruyu was woken up by Wu Cuo.

"It's my time for a vigil?" Yan Ruyu asked in a daze.

He licked his lips, he hadn't drunk water for most of the day, and his lips were a little chapped.

"Shhhhh Wu Cuo's voice was not loud, which made Yan Ruyu vigilant.

He listened attentively with bated breath.

The first thing I heard was the snoring of the buffalo chief, who must have been exhausted, his snoring was deep and loud, and he slept soundly.

Then there were the footsteps outside the cabin, which were neither hurried nor messy, and the sound of people talking.

"Look! Light! ”

"The ghost has covered his eyes! Passed! That's great! ”

"yes, yes! The fog seemed to disperse. ”

"But what is that light? ……”

Yan Ruyu and Wu got out of bed and looked out through the round window.

Sure enough, there was a little white light in the place where the sailors were pointing.

The white light swayed up and down, ghostly and fire-like, very weird.

The black fog gradually dispersed, and the direction of the white light gradually revealed the outline of a ship.

The white light is the light in the wheelhouse of the ship.

Is it already ...... Saved?

Luck is too! There was a flash of hope in everyone's heart.

The fog came and went quickly, and the cunning moonlight shone on the sea, and everyone could see clearly that the word "coast guard" was written on the hull.

Coast Guard? This time I was saved!

The two ships were so close that they could not be seen at a distance of more than 100 meters.

The captain of the ship used the megaphone on the ship to shout to the other party, and turned on all the lights on the ship, but the other party did not respond.

The boat boss took out his binoculars and looked in the direction of the fishing boat for a while, his face becoming more and more ugly.

"I've met the ghost ship!"

The ghost ship is not a ship with ghosts, but an empty ship that drifts with the tide on the sea all year round, and no one knows where the people on board have gone, dead or alive.

The most famous ghost ship in the history of navigation is the Mary Celeste.

The ship was discovered in 1872, when the cargo and valuables on board were there, and there was enough food and drinking water, but there was not a single figure, and all plausible explanations were ruled out.

In the end, one can only imagine that the people on board were "kidnapped by aliens" or "attacked by a sea monster".

This phenomenon is like being haunted, so this kind of unmanned ship is called a ghost ship.

Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo glanced at each other, exchanging each other's thoughts with their eyes.

The ship was new, far from being as mottled and dilapidated as the ghost ship it might seem, and according to the Buffalo chief, two detectives, a coast guard vessel, and all the seamen on board were missing.

This...... It could well be the missing ship!
